1. LeBron James vs. Michael Jordan: Championship Debate

Timestamp: [01:13]

One of the standout questions comes from a listener named Habib, who poses a classic sports debate:

Habib (@RealX): "Five LeBrons vs. Five Jordans. Who wins more championships? That's a stupid ass question. I refuse to answer. You know what my answer is because you know what my GOAT is."

Stephen A. doesn't mince words in his response, labeling the question as frivolous:

Stephen A. Smith: "That's a stupid ass question. I refuse to answer."

He emphasizes his belief in Michael Jordan as the Greatest of All Time (GOAT), subtly dismissing the comparison by questioning the validity of the matchup itself.

2. Dream Career Outside of Sports Broadcasting

A listener named Yogi Canoli inquires about Stephen A.'s aspirations beyond his current profession:

Yogi Canoli (@Yogi_Canoli): "Stephen A. Smith, if you could do one job that you have zero affiliation to, what would you do for a living?"

Stephen A. enthusiastically shares his passion for the legal field:

Stephen A. Smith: "I'd be a criminal lawyer. That's what I would do. I love the courtroom. I love the courtroom. So my bucket list, when you saw me on Law and Orders on my bucket list to be a lawyer in the courtroom, you understand?"
"I prefer to be a prosecutor rather than a defense attorney, but the courtroom for me is everything."

His fervor for law underscores a long-held interest in legal dramas and the dynamics of courtroom battles, revealing a personal ambition that aligns with his love for engaging debates and arguments.

Addressing the age-old question of alien existence, listener double oh three underscore Pug 90955 asks:

double oh three underscore Pug 90955 (@Pug90955): "Stephen A. Smith, do you believe in aliens?"

Stephen A. offers a nuanced perspective:

Stephen A. Smith: "I believe that there are other beings in this universe than just the human race. Call them Martians, call them folks from Venus or other planets throughout the galaxy. I just don't believe that human beings on planet Earth is the only species in the universe."
"So if that means aliens, fine, sure. I believe other planets, they have their beings, just like on this planet, you have human beings."

His response reflects an open-minded stance, acknowledging the vastness of the universe and the statistical likelihood of other life forms existing beyond Earth.

4. WWE Wrestling Entrance Theme Song

Timestamp: [04:30]

In a lighter yet intriguing inquiry, Jimmy from the Q asks about Stephen A.'s hypothetical WWE entrance theme:

Jimmy from the Q (@JimmyFromTheQ): "Stephen A. Smith, if you were to get in the WWE wrestling ring, what song would be your theme as you entered the arena?"

Stephen A. delves into his musical preferences, citing several iconic tracks:

Stephen A. Smith: "I think it would be something like 'Where the Hood At' by DMX, God rest his soul. Or it would be Jay Z with Kanye, 'No Church in the Wild.' But I don't think that's suitable for WWE. It would be, oh my goodness, I gotta think about something. I gotta look into my phone."
"Ante Up by Busta Rhymes, the remix version, you understand, it would be with Busta Rhymes. ... Justin 7 Music, the best three. It's like they play that with the 247 boxing shows they did with Floyd 'Money' Mayweather. I like that music theme, you know, I like that too."
"Ante Up or 'Where the Hood At' stands out above the crowd."

Through his suggestions, Stephen A. highlights his appreciation for high-energy and impactful music that would resonate well in a wrestling arena, demonstrating his understanding of entertainment dynamics.

But I don't think that's suitable for wwe. It would be, oh, my goodness. I gotta think about something. I gotta look into my phone. If I remember something, let me look this real quick to see what comes to my mind. Because I listen to my music every morning and I gotta think about that just a little bit. I would say to you, ante up, Andy up. But with Busta Rhymes, the remix version, you understand, it would be with Busta Rhymes. I like that too. Gotta think about this a little bit more. And Justin 7 Music, the best three. It's like they play that with the 247 boxing shows they did with Floyd Money Mayweather. I like that music theme, you know, I like that too.
