As Steve Harvey mentioned at the beginning of the interview, he does not do many podcasts (or interviews for that matter). He really doesn’t need to because we feel we know him because we see him daily on tv. As he mentioned in his interview, we invite him into our homes — some of us in our underwear eating sandwiches — so we feel like we know him. He jokingly pointed out the difference between fans’ approach to him versus movie starts like Samuel L. Jackson and Denzel Washington.

However, it is always good to hear Steve talk because he is always going to candidly provide great insight and life principles in his Cleveland, comedic way. Both Steve and Shannon Sharpe, retired NFL player, commentator, and host of Club Shay Shay, are real brothas who will give it to you straight no chaser. It was cool to see Steve give Shannon his props while Shannon asked the right questions, sat back, and let Steve talk — the latter is something even the most prestigious interviewers don’t get right.

I thoroughly enjoyed my Sunday evening listening to these two gentlemen talk life over a glass of cognac. Here’s my take on the top 10 jewels from Shannon’s conversation with Steve.
