Skip Bayless and I get to topics big and small!

Skip, of course, is an award-winning journalist, author and TV personality. He hosts the sports opinion and debate show Skip and Shannon: Undisputed with Shannon Sharpe, and was previously on ESPN's Cold Pizza and First Take.

Fun fact! Skip’s brother is the talented and well-known chef Rick Bayless.

Skip and I met through his wife, Ernestine Sclafani Bayless, who just published a book called Balls: How to Keep Your Relationship Alive When You Live with a Sports-Obsessed Guy, which has a chapter written by Skip and contributions from some of their celebrity friends, like Michael Rapaport and Billy Bob Thornton.

In my wide-ranging talk with this total interviewing pro (who this time was the guest rather than the interviewer), we get into:

• His fascinating journey to becoming a huge TV sports guy

• Behind-the-scenes dish on his TV shows, Undisputed (weekdays on Fox Sports 1), First Take and Cold Pizza.

• Oklahoma, Texas, California, New York, Connecticut and Tennessee

• Shannon Sharpe, Michael Jordan, Joe Namath, Mark Shapiro, Dick Schaap and other interesting people in the business

• Lucky breaks

• A teacher who he'll never forget

• Growing up with two alcoholic parents

• His difficult childhood

• What his parents and his childhood did to help him become who he is today

Enjoy!

STAY TUNED…!

Lots of more authentic conversations with spectacular people are coming soon.
