  • Brett Favre: The Greatest Gunslinger of All-Time | Sage Steele Show | EP 71
    Sep 3 2025
    I sat down with Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, and we covered just about everything. Brett opened up about the lessons his father taught him, what it was like to grow up in a modest family, and how that foundation shaped the way he approached football and life. He shared powerful memories about the night after his father passed away, when he played one of the most unforgettable games of his career, and how that moment still defines him today. We talked about the toll football took on his body, his battle with Parkinson’s disease, and why he refuses to let it define him. Brett also addressed the controversies that have followed him, the Netflix documentary, and the ongoing civil case in Mississippi. But beyond the headlines, he spoke about family, faith, and what he hopes his legacy will be, not just as a quarterback, but as a husband, father, and friend. This was Brett Favre at his most honest, funny, candid, and unfiltered.

  • Zachary Levi: Hollywood, Faith, and Cancel Culture | Sage Steele Show | EP 70
    Aug 27 2025
    I’ve known Zachary Levi for years, but this was the first time we sat down for an unfiltered conversation- and it was worth the wait. Zach opened up about faith, fatherhood, and why he’s building a new kind of community in Texas called Wildwood. He spoke candidly about Hollywood, the backlash he’s faced for speaking his mind, and what it feels like to live out his values in an industry that doesn’t always welcome honesty. We talked about everything from politics and the pandemic to the dangers of AI and what it means to hold onto hope in a world that feels increasingly chaotic. Zach also shared how becoming a father has deepened his perspective and given him a renewed sense of purpose. This was Zachary Levi at his most real - thoughtful, passionate, and unapologetically himself. The Sage Steele Show is a weekly podcast hosted by former ESPN anchor Sage Steele.

  • How Big Pharma and Big Food Keep America Sick | Sage Steele Show | EP 69
    Aug 20 2025
    Calley Means has spent years pulling back the curtain on some of the most powerful industries in America, and what he shared with me was eye-opening. We talked about his journey from working inside the political machine to becoming a senior adviser to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and now one of the most outspoken critics of the food, pharmaceutical, and healthcare industries. Calley explained why he believes the health of our country starts with what we eat, and how the system is stacked against ordinary Americans from the time we are kids in school. He did not sugarcoat the reality. The statistics are dark, the incentives are broken, and the industries making billions off our sickness do not want to change. But Calley also brought hope by sharing why he still believes America can turn this around, what he is fighting for alongside RFK Jr. and Donald Trump, and the changes that could actually make us healthy again. This was a challenging and fascinating conversation that will make you question what you have been told about health, medicine, and the food on your plate.

  • The Other Side of Skip Bayless | Sage Steele Show | EP 68
    Aug 19 2025
    Skip Bayless has built a career on delivering sharp takes, holding bold opinions, and never backing down from a debate, but this conversation revealed a side of him that most people never see. We discussed the work ethic that has fueled his decades in sports media, from his early days as a newspaper columnist to becoming one of the most recognizable personalities on television. Skip opened up about the sacrifices, the criticism, and the pressure that comes with living your life in front of an audience every single day. He shared personal stories about his childhood, the moments that shaped him, and the relationships that have kept him grounded in a business that can easily pull you away from what matters most. We also got into his views on competition, how he prepares for those high-stakes TV debates, and why he’s still as passionate about sports as he was on day one. This was Skip Bayless beyond the hot takes- a thoughtful, driven man who’s as committed to his craft as he is to staying true to himself.

  • Dr. Drew on Trauma, Addiction, and What’s Really Wrong with America | Sage Steele Show | EP. 67
    Aug 6 2025
    Dr. Drew has spent decades in the public eye, but sitting down with him revealed the man behind the microphone. We talked about his journey from medical school to becoming one of the most recognizable doctors in America, and how his work in the ICU, psychiatry, and addiction medicine gave him a rare window into the full spectrum of the human experience. He shared deeply personal stories about raising triplets, facing his child’s brain surgery, and how his own childhood trauma shaped both his empathy and his work ethic. Dr. Drew didn’t shy away from tough topics. We dug into the nature of addiction, why childhood trauma is often the hidden catalyst, and how he believes cities like Los Angeles could actually solve the homelessness crisis if they had the courage to act. He was candid about mental health, loss, and the need for pragmatic solutions in a world that too often favors ideology over reality. This conversation is full of lessons from someone who has truly seen it all- inside the hospital and out in the world.

  • "I Hit Rock Bottom After Getting Red-Pilled" | The Sage Steele Show | EP 66
    Jul 30 2025
    Some conversations stop you in your tracks- and this was one of them. Xaviaer DuRousseau joined me to talk about how he went from identifying as a proud liberal to becoming one of the boldest conservative voices challenging the mainstream narrative today. He walked me through that transformation. What shifted, what hurt, and what ultimately freed him. We talked about identity, race, and the pressure to conform. Xaviaer opened up about the backlash he’s faced, the isolation that comes with speaking your truth, and why he refuses to be quiet- even when it would be easier. This wasn’t about towing a party line. It was about finding the courage to break away from the script and rewriting your own.

  • Who is Vivek Ramaswamy? | The Sage Steele Show | EP 65
    Jul 24 2025
    This one was personal in a way I didn’t expect. I sat down with Vivek Ramaswamy—not just to talk politics—but to talk about faith, family, and what drives him as a man. We got into what it was like growing up as the child of Indian immigrants, how his faith shapes the way he sees the world, and why he’s more interested in speaking the truth than winning approval. Now running for governor of Ohio, Vivek spoke about what it means to be an outsider in politics, the backlash he’s faced for standing firm on controversial issues, and why he believes most Americans are hungry for something real. He opened up about his marriage, his kids, and what he wants to teach them about courage. Whether you agree with him or not, Vivek doesn’t pull punches—and I respect that. This conversation was raw, honest, and bigger than politics.

  • Samantha Ponder Breaks Her Silence Since ESPN Firing (FIRST Interview) | The Sage Steele Show
    Jul 16 2025
    It’s been almost a year since @samanthaponder was abruptly fired by ESPN. Since then, she has been in a self-described hibernation…until now. This is not an interview, it’s a conversation. It’s Sam’s story. Her story of why she believes she was fired, how that awful moment prompted endless self-reflection…changing her life in the most beautiful ways. Being fired helped her marriage, helped her relationship with her kids, changed her perspective on so much, and strengthened her beliefs in many other ways. This is about the reality and insanity of the world today, and Sam’s choice to now live in this world differently - with purpose, passion, and so much love. In this conversation, Sam is as vulnerable and self-aware as anyone I’ve ever had on my show…it’s incredible, and inspirational. Full disclosure…Sam and I have been friends for almost 15 years. Our first connection was our last names (The Steele Sisters!) and now, I truly do consider her a sister for life ❤️ Her faith inspires me more than I can describe. Her prayers & support have gotten me through so much, and it’s been beautiful to see her grow as a mother, and as a woman. I am so very proud of how she has chosen to handle such a difficult situation, and proud to call her a friend forever!
