The multi talented sports journalist and broadcaster, Taylor Rooks, joins the Pivot to talk all topics from working as a female in sports, to dealing with physical appearance being a career factor to overcoming questions about her personal life while trying to keep the headlines focused on her interviews, not who she’s dating.
Taylor shares her story and how she carved a niche for herself as one of the top females interviewers in sports media and how the climb in the industry is a struggle everyday.
Channing comes right out and addresses the rumors swirling the internet about her personal relationships which she says is frustrating but always false! “Just because I stand next to someone or have chemistry in an interview doesn’t mean I’m dating them,” Taylor responded.
Fred dives into the what they future holds for Taylor and if motherhood is something she is worries about affecting her career and Ryan talks about how the industry is changing and the respect Taylor has earned from the exclusive access to interviews she’s done.
Tackling each day, Taylor shared wisdom she took from Serena Williams about always striving to be be better from one day to the next.
The Pivot releases new episodes every Tuesday at Noon eastern with Special Pivot moments dropping on Fridays. - Спорт
I like how she went back to revisit the conversation about clothing accentuating her body. She was able to have a teachable moment without coming off as combative or defensive. Shout out to Ryan Clark too. He drove the point home with the example of his daughter. Over all great interview. Love the Pivot and Taylor Rooks
Really didn't make the best of point
The thing is that if she would've let him finish the question she would've understood more why he was posing the question that why. And plus, almost all of us are wearing clothes that accentuates the good parts of our bodies. She's not sexualizing her body with her clothes nor she is picking outfits that accentuates parts of her body bc those clothes look good. The point she made was one that they all agreed with that she doesn't really have a choice bc of her genetics and God-given figure.
Yeah it really wasn't a fair point for Channing to make--like if I'm tall, am I actually wearing clothes that accentuate my height or am I just simply tall and am wearing clothes? the appeal of Taylor already exists regardless, there's not much she can do about that
That's complete bullshxt lol she knows she dresses for attention and so guys can verify her looks, it drives a women's ego. Let's stop playing games now. Just have humility and say, I want to look good for myself and presentable to others. That's the least you can do. The modern women, destiny child, master's degree, mindset of women have destroyed their perception of reality. Case closed.
@@IlFree nah that's a lie
OG Fred sat there for a full 15 minutes before saying a single word. Ultimate student.
He actually been a lil quite the last 2 shows I noticed
He's too mature for them.
@@larrywhite3079 he explained why he does that earlier in the season. Said he likes to sit and feel their guests out first before speaking.
Yeah, his ass fasho was not feeling er vibe at all😭
@@vernonellsmith6496 nigga , thats just him , he literally likes feel people out
Taylor Rooks is THE ONE. I hope that all of her aspirations for herself come into fruition. She's absolutely amazing at what she does and I'm modeling after her.
She's solid I like Malika Andrews too.
She hypercrit hate females come try act classy old rich european guy come get them She Expose being European Jack Dorsey😂💀😂😂man look like been in Cave for 30yrs...Sleep with opprosors come back talk being classy Dorsey worth 10 billion he on her twitter next thing no she Date with him😂She that easy imagine her College
she's incredibly inspiring and her existence is improving the image of Black women in the media worldwide.
"...once I start droppin' d*ck!!"😂😂😂man, Channing got me in fckng tears😂😂😂😂😂😂😂real fckng tears
Was not familiar with Taylor Rooks before this interview. Now I'm a new fan of a confident African American Woman who does not let her natural beauty overshine her class and intelligence. Bravo Pivot Team on another excellent guest and interview. SALUTE, Freddy, Channing, and Ryan!
She is just American not African American there’s no such thing if she was born in America.
@@realamericaspeech8590 she is Foundational BLACK American. Specifically.
Lets just get it right....TK Kirkland is the first indigenous person on Earth....
BIG FACTS
@@realamericaspeech8590 quit trying to tell people how they should identify their roots, a lot of people take pride in that you’re not anyone to decide that for them.
I'm glad she's in the space to balance out the blond Becky brigade. Don't see natural beauty on here. She look more like a 🤡 right now. You probably mean inner beauty.
I wish this lady a lot of success. I like her hustle.
Because she’s pretty lol
@@christof123 I can't take that voice..
Stop lmao
you still not gonna hit bro lol
@@lelouchx8996 I am married, why would i want to hit? You think i am like you dudes that sticking it in everything, i have a lot more to loose than you "lobby boys", with not a pot to piss in.
Channing is a national treasure and needs to be protected at all costs!
In all seriousness this was a great interview. Taylor has always been someone I’ve listened to because she has a way of making people feel comfort and they can trust her. Keep up the good work guys. 🤟🏿
Channing always gives me something to laugh about every episode. Love it!
@@Heymonale I died when he said we gone claim her cause she successful
It's that southern charm.
They kinda violated him in this episode. I hope he stays himself and doesn't hold back on anything going forward
@@Cofitube94 as a Gator and Dolphin fan, nothing will hold Channing back. He is who he is always. He is a great story teller and has tons of great stories to tell.
I love Ryan Clark man... I don't mean that in a funny way, I love his spirit. I love what he is doing and trying to become... A great example for young men... Not just young black men, but all young men. Salute Ryan Clark!!
also Freddy and Channing this show is 🔥
Was about to type it... but you said👍🏿 Ryan Clark🙌🏿
I respect the fact that they didn't try to sexualize her and filmed her a certain way. Kudos to the guys man! Protect our black women.
RC is so smooth with his transitional questions. He does a really good job of setting tone and leading the guest through an entertaining interview. Also, I laughed out loud in public when Chan explain when he stops acting like a cat during role playing‼️ 🤣🤣🤣
.
He’s good
I was like ... please Taylor don't ask anymore questions about the kitty..😳 I was embarrassed for her ..but she said she loves it. 🤣
Lmao me too🤣🤣🤣
Gotta appreciate how consistent Channing is. Like he’s himself and says what’s on his mind no matter who they have in.
Channing is unfiltered. And extremely funny, got to Love him. Those guys have so much chemistry.
Yea he 1 of a kind
Exactly 💯 appreciate him being him
the primetime episode is a good example. channing didnt hold nothing back even with Deion Sanders in the room, gotta respect him for that
@@MrDerrickrose25 that cam episode too
Class personified. Going to show this to my daughters. She said “I want everything this world can give me” I tell my daughters this all the time. Have respect/ get respect, be intelligent, and speak and move with confidence.
He did it he brought up his wife and the kinks lmfao love that dude he’s 100% open and vulnerable
Man is hilarious
🐱
"Once I start dropping dick" 🤣🤣🤣
Time stamp please lmfao
He’s wilding
Channing is my dude. That cat roleplay story with his wife was hilarious! Lol!!!!!!!!!!!
Man that shi was crazy
Even while she's getting interviewed, she can't help but go into work mode lol. You can tell she loves what she does for a living.
"YOU CAN'T BLAME BLACK WOMEN FOR EXISTING!" I love that & totally felt that statement in my bones. This is such an amazingly powerful conversation & so relatable, especially as a woman who works with a ton of men just literally trying to do her best and be the best at what she does. It's so inspiring to see her confidence as a woman, even more so as a successful black woman in her line of work. Totally loved how she corrected without being disrespectful, was able to have a conversation with men without being sexualized, just 200 thumbs up for me. Every episode and I fall in love with this podcast more and more.
I LOVE ME SOME CHOCLATE COVERED STRAWBERRY!!!! THICKKAA THAN A SNICKKAA
As a black man I hope you conquer everything you want to. It gets easier but still challenging sis salute!
Who said that?
Taylor, is well read- beautiful and career driven! Proud of this young lady!
Always good interviews, but Channing is the reason I come back. When he tells his stories, he doesn't sugar coat anything 😂😂
He is like early Charlemagne at the breakfast club
Straight up 🤣
But it's the same story over, and over and over...and over each episode. The only thing funny about it now is the reaction from the guest.
@@220smooches exactly. The way they look is always priceless 😂😂
Taylor Rooks is definitely the mold of woman I need the mother of my children to be.
Successful, confident, humorous, strong, smart, well-spoken, clean, sharp, focused, ambitious, patient, and of course gorgeous.
Overall just greatly rounded. 🥺
@Dark Roast ☕️ Are you she?
She said having chemistry is a skill. That was a gem she dropped and a skill I will develop.
Love her confidence and strength and eloquence. Thank you for bringing her
This convo was needed, especially the part about how a black woman's body just automatically changes the way clothes fits her. Channing was allowed to ask the question and he wasn't admonished for not knowing the reason. He learned and in turn we learned. I honestly never thought of it that way until watching this interview, thank you.
Honestly, I don't think he learned anything new. She just didn't like his wording even though he was right. Almost all of us are wearing clothes that accentuates the good parts of our bodies. The point she made was one that they all agreed with that she doesn't really have a choice outside of oversized suits or sweatsuits. So basically, he wanted to ask if she feels like it's being more accepted for her to wear clothes that fit. She kinda touched it but didn't really get to that.
Dope interview. Big fan of Taylor Rooks. She displays black excellence, class, and gives a great positive energy!
“We get active, we nasty nasty” Channing is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Taylor has been killing it in the media space for a while. She's a super engaging conversationalist and her guests are always comfortable and open.
The NBA bubble was when she really became an undeniable force with the access and answers she was able to get from everyone she spoke with.
I can't imagine what she has to deal with being that beautiful in the spaces she works in, but she handles it all with so much grace. Much continued success to her!
She’ll be fine. Her beauty is also an asset to you don’t have to feel sorry for her
She exudes positive energy and good vibes, I love watching her interviews. Keep doing You Taylor Rooks!!👏🥰
Ryan is such a better mediator than Brandon; and these 3 together with their chemistry and brotherhood you can tell is much more solid and easily flowing than on IAA and this episode wouldn’t of done it justice on the other podcast let’s be real. Extremely valuable and necessary on The Pivot and you can tell she’s more of herself on here with y’all. 👏🏼
Why do we need to compare? Why can't both of them just have their own sense of direction and flourish in their profession?
To be honest, I don’t even watch IAA anymore.
@@hazeleyedsoul3282 I prefer pivot cause it's more football focused
I’ve watched a lot of her interviews. Her interviews are wonderful. She seems down to earth. I wish her the beat in her career.
That damn Channing said “when I start dropping d” and I almost fell out! Outstanding interview with one of my favorite reporters! Keep up the excellent work Ms. Rooks
Nice change of pace to get our beautiful black woman some shine. Home Run!!!!
YES
TAYLOR BAD
BUT WE ALSO NEED WHYTE WOMAN REPRESENTATION TOO TO KEEP IT EVEN!!!
YA'LL KNO THAT NAME
-PB
This isn’t about today, it’s about tomorrow. A gem that I hope people didn’t miss. Great interview as always Pivot!
The range they have for guests so far has been great. I hope this continues to keep us on our toes and really open us up to people we really know nothing about except form online or on a screen. Keep it up Pivot crew!!
Exactly! The range of guests has been top notch. It's like getting that happy meal or a box of cereal when you were younger, you don't know what the surprise was but it was going to be something good. This is how this show has become.
Another episode that shows why you guys are my go to, and comeback for this real, unfiltered, conscious environment. Keep building, my Gs. 🙏👑
Channing is Channing lol freaking crazy. 😂 🤣🤣🤣
I ain’t gone lie. Taylor Rooks is the most beautiful black analyst I’ve ever seen in my life straight from the Georgia Peach.
But the thing that gets me. She’s really good at her job. She’s outstanding. No jokes.
Based off the topics of this interview I love the fact they shot this only showing Taylor’s face and not her body forcing us to listen and focus on her words and not her figure
I noticed that also. Being that I don't know of her I had to do my research though. 👀
FREDDY FLOWERS 🌹 : If Fred doesn't give flowers this episode I'll be shook.
That cat story channing tells about he and his wife has me cracking all the time...I love this guy🤣
Lmao Channin is a much needed piece to this puzzle. The other 2 are so serious and then here he comes saying whatever comes to mind
“MEOW” 😂😂😂
These guys got something special they don’t miss when it comes to the interviews and they let there guest talk. Congratulations on another successful episode!🔥🔥🔥💯
I’ve been following Taylor for a long time. Such a professional and example of a classic woman. Channing took me out with the 3 fingers things lmaaooo😂😂😂😂😂
I love how they made sure to showcase her & her accomplishments by making you pay attention to the interview & never showing a full body frame of her so ppl can actually focus on how dope she is & not all the bs how ppl always talking about her body in comments. ✊🏾
Spectacular episode gentlemen (and Taylor). I LOVE the quality, integrity, class, tone, authenticity, and range of this podcast. I wasn't really familiar with Taylor Rooks or her background but I am quite impressed. She made some stellar points! Did anyone else start getting anxiety during the whole how-she-was-dressed discussion?! Ryan kept that exchange from going off a cliff and Taylor was brilliant about handling Channing...with one glove on and one glove off. She spoke honestly but didn't "go for blood". Continue to nurture the special seed that three of you planted Fred, Channing, and Ryan - so that this platform continues to grow and one day reaches the sky.
Fred barely talked… he was speechless 😶😂 I like her energy shes so engaging! 🖤
ong lmao she so bad😂😂😂
That was powerful!!! You cannot blame black women for existing!!!!
Very
Disclaimer (I’m a black man) I understand what she is saying but at the same time I think she didn’t answer the question correctly. I know where the pivot we’re coming from with the question. We can’t sit here and act like things haven’t changed over the years standards haven’t dropped, morals haven’t dropped, responsibility hasn’t dropped. I remember sweatsuits being semi-baggy attire, nowadays they are skin tight cat/ body suits showing everything. Sweatsuits were reserved for workouts and home wear. Now women try to wear those clothes in professional work spaces and you are the enemy, if you say anything about it. That’s just 1 example I have many I can say
@@dbettis6477 💯
@@dbettis6477 you said it all.
This hit home for me! Well said Taylor! Much 🤍
That’s a phenomenal woman right there! She handled those sexist questions with so much class and intelligence. New superfan!
What sexist questions?
Love RC on this platform. Excellent. Fred and Channing are fantastic. Taylor is a pro.
I love the way RC can ask a question and waits for the person to answer❤️❤️
Two podcasts in one week!!! Lets go! I love Taylor Rooks!!
What I love is that every black woman in the sports industry is amazing. They all do a great job what whatever their role is.
Great episode...Channing's face when he's telling the cat story! Priceless. 😁😁😅🥂
I honestly never heard of her before but I will pay attention to her interviews from now on. I love her drive and passion for her work.
Same here
I love this podcast they make everyone comfortable & channing is a fool 😂 Keep up the great work
I love how Taylor challenges Channing! its done respectfully while pushing the convo forward
Great interview, never heard of Taylor before
Channing, have me howling and crying, never a dull moment and I love it!!
Absolutely love hearing from Taylor, her story and her aspirations for the future. I love this podcast for its balance. Impeccable.
I love the enthusiasm and ambition of this young lady. Best of luck to you and all your endeavors. Great interview gentleman, keep them coming! 🔥
Loved this interview, loved the way she answered every question, loved every question asked. Loved her poise and personality. Top top energy and a beautiful interview. Well done y'all 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 It was easy, funny, informative and enchanting. Incredible. A fan of Taylor Rooks.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤❤✨✨and of course The Pivot. 👏🏽👏🏽❤❤✨✨
I love this podcast! Great guests, great questions, chemistry. And Channing is hilarious 😂. Well done
I like how Ryan helped channing get his point across about her shape and Ryan gave a great example with what he goes thru with his daughter. Ryan kinda saved the day with that one lol
Cuz whew !!! I got scared
Tag the part
Yep! Because that could have waaaay south! : /
This. And I also wonder if anyone else peeped: The camera never went / panned below chest level for the panel for the entire interview. even during her shape/clothes conversation. "Forcing" the audience to listen to what she was saying vs what she was wearing.
Channing is hilarious and innocent. lol You can tell he was well-intentioned but had Ryan not stepped in, it definitely would have went left. lol
@@ronkingwin_ Man, I want my friends to hold me down like Ryan did lol. It's at 32:53.
Exceptional interview. Also props to the production crew - if you look closely they have the frame carefully set to not show any of her body. All the other interviews have full body shots, and the teachable moments were great too.
“So when are you out of cat character” At this very moment, she knew, she fuck up🤦🏾♂️😂
Lmfaooooo way too many follow ups…fred & rc like “heeere we go”
My brothers you guys keep bringing that fire if there was an award for the body of work you guys have presented thus far it’s a lock that the trophy would belong to The Pivot … I have not missed an episode and I have cut IAA from my You Tube viewing rotation. Much success keep up the good work.
Webby or Emmy would do
Me too! I’m like what’s IAA now. Love The pivot.
The Pivot taking over for the 99 and the 2000’s
This boy Channing a whole fool I almost crashed the whip laughing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Pivot make her the fourth host. She brings a dynamic to the table with her Journalism background.
💯Great Idea
Pivot!!! Taylor Rooks is certainly a pivotal figure in her industry and I’m glad that now she’s getting respect for her hustle work ethic and hunger.
Not just being viewed as a trophy! We love and respect you Taylor.
Thank you man its so many immature men in this thread. I've been embarrassed today smh
I knew the face,knew the name but not the person and I'm very impressed with the person I got to know a little bit on the Pivot.
Hands-down the Best Podcast on the internet.
Glad she didn't shy away from questions about how she looks and her body in her profession.
Fred is the Producer, Channing brings it all in with his humor and Ryan is gifted to interview. 3 great!!@
I was a Taylor Rooks fan before but now I’m definitely rooting big time for her. Great show! Every episode is better than the last!!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 i am cracking up at channing!!!!!! This cat role play story is hilarious!!!!! Taylor just remained so serious and just asked follow up questions!!!! Glad I was exposed to her!!!
love this podcast man i always die laughing at channing and fred and ryan just sit back watching them be crazy 🤣
Y’all keep putting out heat! No matter what the topic and subject matter is! Ms. Rooks you have a new fan and I commend your Ahmed R. style conversation style. To the crew !!! Big up!
Another gem and I enjoy the aspect of getting the voice of those who always give a voice to athletes.
Listen mane.
These 3 gentlemen simply make people feel COMFORTABLE...even when they're asking uncomfortable or not so pretty questions. This is why this podcast is the best one out there. They leave their own egos at the door and LISTEN to UNDERSTAND versus LISTENING to RESPOND. Yeah. That way.
Always been a fan of Taylor and everything she does. She’s as talented as she is beautiful…good to see her on this show. Keep doing it big, fellas!
Def agree
“You can’t blame black women for existing” shout out to Taylor Rooks ✊🏾🙌🏾✊🏾 she is great at her profession and you can tell she loves what she does. I wanted to be be a Sportscaster (even majored in JOU in college) that didn’t happen for me but I’m so proud of myself Sister Taylor holding it down for us black women, who love sports and are passionate about writing about them!
Great interview! I can't wait until the day comes when women, especially black women are not over sexualized. Chemistry does not mean you want to jump somebodies bones. Taylor Rooks I'm a fan! Keep up the good work.
Another dope ass interview fellas! Been following her for years now and her interviews be on point. I'm glad the pivot interviewed her and put her on their platform!!
Great interview! I appreciate what RC said about his daughters’ skirts having 3 black daughters myself and going through the same thing. Keep being great Taylor Rooks!
Chann is reason why we ask, "Who all over there?" Because if he's not there, we're not coming 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Magnificent. ✨✨✨ Taylor you are magnificent. You have made this virtual Auntie (of three amazing sons) incredibly proud and inspired as well. Ascend and Soar.
Bravo, Pivot Crew. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Channing is so freaking AWESOME!!!
“If I’m just sitting here & you have something to say about me, that has nothing to do with me & everything to do with you” sheeeesh! I felt that one
🎯🎯🎯
I'm impressed with the range this podcast has. The variety of guest, and how interesting each conversation is speaks to the professionalism and quality that Ryan, Fred, and Channing bring to the podcast. Looking forward to what comes next.
Seriously one of the best interviews I have seen not just here but anywhere! I didn’t know who she was before this but I definitely know who she is now. Great job to everyone involved especially Taylor 🙌🏾 outstanding interview
Channing should take over the interview bro she seems very comfortable with him. Like she knows him like he’s a family member or something
If you noticed every one of them brings a guest on. They all have different connections. Taylor came on through Channing remember during the interview he said they met.
Nice on all levels. Great questions to Taylor by everyone, especially Channing. Keep it real my brother. I sent this interview to my daughter. Love this podcast.
I love this show. The authenticity can’t be replicated.
Man, this was great! I'm glad she said what she said, because when I be lookin at her I also listen to the interviews. She's really good at what she does and hope to listen and see more of her in the future.
It was cool bc I judged her od too smh but I’m just a man lol
Taylor you are amazing! Thank you for representing black women. We are in fact trying to exist in peace.
Channing’s face when Taylor said she wants 5 kids lol 😂
Taylor been going crazy in the interviews we do peep dudes getting caught in a gaze but overall the interview be fire 🔥 salute to Taylor Rooks and the Pivot
I really enjoyed Taylor's interview. It was very insightful. Thank you for sharing!
This is another great interview! It’s nice to see a different side of the women that’s pushing the culture in a positive way. 🤞🏽💛
Love what Taylor had to say about the view of platonic relationships between men and women. There’s always the assumption that something’s going on between them. Also gotta love how Channing gonna always be Channing🤣🤣🤣
There usually is when it’s not a working relationship. It’s usually a red flag if you’re talking to a girl who has a bunch of male friends
Sharp young lady...she owned the room and Channing too. Those brothas really respected her talent. Good job guys!
She speaks very well. 1 can tell that she is smart just by listening. She seemed very comfortable around the guys which they do a great job at. Great show. This makes me wanna catch more of her interviews/work
Pivot is so damn cohesive. Taylor is awesome, great interviews lately!
