The show seems to be taking the handicapping moves and sways that occur offshore as the premium indicator of where the sharp money is located. No longer is Las Vegas the standard bearer of "the life" and all things that happen in it seem to exclusively happen in Vegas. As legalization has taken America to "heights" it never dreamt with regard to wagering on football (and all other sports), the competition in the offshore arena has long attracted sharp syndicate money and must be respected.

Some interviews are conversations; others feel like a passage through time. On this episode of Takin’ it to the Streets, legendary broadcaster and entertainer Roy Firestone takes us down a road paved with unforgettable names, improbable encounters, and the kind of stories that linger long after the microphone goes quiet. 

He recalls his first interview with Muhammad Ali as well as his years on Up Close (performing alongside the likes of the Doobie Brothers, David Foster, and Reba McEntire). Roy reflects on a career that has never fit neatly into a single category.

Along the way, the conversation wanders—beautifully—through the people he interviewed, the ones he wishes he had, and the strange alchemy of broadcasting, performance, and human connection. Roy speaks candidly about the changing landscape of sports, from gambling to NIL and what these shifts may mean for young athletes and the spirit of competition itself. What emerges is less a retrospective than a portrait of a life spent paying attention: to athletes, entertainers, history, and above all, to people. A conversation rich with memory, wit, and heart—and a reminder that in a career measured in moments, some encounters become part of the story forever.

In this episode:

• Muhammad Ali's first interview

• Giving people their dignity

• Fulfilling dreams on national TV

• Larry David's early struggles

• Sam Cooke's Legacy

• Jackie Robinson missed interview

• Drugs and their impact

• Gambling and its consequences
