We get into why he feels that way and talking so much more as Chan, Fred and Ryan start the convo fired up about a legendary summer of sports heating up— with underdogs becoming icons, Knicks championship unifying the city that doesn’t sleep, and the World Cup action kicking off being everything it’s promised to be!  Checking out FIFA favorite on the pitch to the growing conversation around Victor Wembanyama, respect among competitors, and where sportsmanship fits in today's game. The conversation takes a turn as the guys discuss the things we struggle to tell our families and the people closest to us, the emotions we carry in silence, and why vulnerability remains one of the hardest challenges for men. The guys reflect on the passing of their fellow teammate and friend Aldon Smith, the pressures athletes face long after the cameras stop rolling, and why mental health conversations need to move beyond headlines and hashtags.  And as we head into the weekend of Dad’s, Ryan, Channing, and Fred chat fatherhood, family, and the realities of being the men their kids count on. Channing gets personal about his father's impact on his life and the funny memories they made together in his final days.  From laughs and locker-room stories to honest conversations about grief, family, purpose, and fatherhood, this is one of those episodes that reminds you why The Pivot is more than a sports podcast—it's three men trying to make sense of life in real time.
