You Cannot Catch Stephen A. Off Guard With Any Question, He's To Great, This Guy Was 21, Young But Still Old Enough To Know Better, He Just Got Schooled, Quick😅😊💯✌️
@@MalachiPlaysGamesI mean as a person who loved cars as a kid, I woulda had no idea they were tied in piston cups, and he didn’t even grow up with the movies
Questions are given to him before they’re asked, he had plenty of time to prepare. You can tell because as soon as the question was asked, they had an image for Cars ready.
Dude he got producers who told about the questions. Callers have to wait to get their questions answered. Questions are vetted before the callers get on.
@@FungiRy91 not my point, I’m calling out Stephan A for being a hypocrite. And even if the caller was wrong, the fact he called in and made this moment happen makes him a legend. Sorry if you disagree
@@dom4591 It may be his name on the screen and walls but let's get one thing straight, this is NOT his show, this is ESPN's show. one bad controversy and I'm sure they would throw him on the street, OG or not.
@@SwiKeyMTC he brings in more views than anyone else on ESPN. Hes their most valued analyst. He would have to do something pretty extreme for ESPN to want to cut their views in half.
Technically, he was a little kid when the movie came out, meaning that he remembers the movie well! Some of us around his (and my) age still like the lore around the movie dang it!
McQueen got his 7 piston cups in 9 years, vs Weathers getting his over the course of a 30 year career. In addition, Strip raced in a much easier era. McQueen was racing against F1 and far more advanced competitors than him. McQueen undeniable GOAT
@@StevenP727 That makes a lot more sense now cuz it looked like he was checking his notes during it. He's a professional so he's real quick with it but every once in a while he'll glance down at his notes
Although he's leaving out two crucial details, McQueen did what the Strip in 30 years, Lightning did in 9 years, and would've had one more cup compared to Strip had he not done the sportsman like thing and helped Strip finish his last race. And that does not include his World Grand Prix potential win had it not been a front for an alternative fuel smear campaign and subsequent assassination attempt
And that is what is called "knowing your business!" Stephen A. reminds me of my brother (rip) they don't see or interact with a thing they experience it and remember details other ppl would gloss over. Underestimate them and they'll surprise you every time.
his career got cut short though, it'd be like calling arvydas the goat, if he had a full NBA career probably yeah but like he only won 3 piston cups before getting into a career ending crash.
His drift move is iconic and Lightning wouldn't have extended his career after being lost in the desert without it and without Tow Mater's incompetent pit crew work Lightnight wouldn't have fallen behind against Francisco in the World Grand Prix!
I’m crying at everyone talking about cars lore the past few days on Twitter. Some people calling McQueen their goat. Others calling that electric car their goat
I’d absolutely love if other people called In arguing about something like space jam “Stephan A Lola bunny did more for the toon squad than Jordan did!! Jordan just had the last shot against the monstars!!” Or just something crazy it would be hilarious although it should definitely not be every call that would get annoying fast but every once in a while to get a good chuckle would be amazing 😂
Strip Weathers (The King) -has 7 piston cups -dominated the league for 30 years (Lebron James status) -cars in that era had fewer regulation and the technology back then was limited (which means that cars of that era didn't have all the sophisticated computers shown in cars 2) -strip may have been bribed at certain points in time during the fuel crisis to throw a few races to help with dinoco to still exist till this date (which means he could have had more piston cups if it weren't for the fuel crisis)
this is a huge curveball, you can tell the caller just straight up is not sure what to say, he started stumbling and fumbling hard after he had a clear answer for his random question. bravo
If Cars 4 ever gets made. I hope he's apart of it. The fact that he knows the lore. Which career would you take 7 wins in 10 seasons aka the Bill Russell (McQueen), 7 in 37 aka the LeBron or the 3 for 3 Cup wins aka the Jordan in Duke Hudson. At the end of the day it's just an empty cup.
It’s funny he dissed cars. When in actual fact he’s the one working for Disney, you know an animation company that had a hand in the production of cars.
Stephen yelling at him saying “YOUR’E 21!” But then doesn’t seem to realize that he (along with many others including me) probably grew up watching the movie when it first came out, and some still enjoy it! 😊
You forget to know that most Cars fans were born between 1998 and 2005. So it's acceptable for him to be 21 and like the Cars movie. I was born in 2002 and it's still my favorite.
Strip Weathers.. the first racer to have 14 championships in total on and off camera 😅.. if you know know 😅 for those that don’t know, Richard Petty voiced Strip throughout the 1st and 3rd cars movies.. Richard petty has 7 cup titles, tied with Dale senior and Jimmie Johnson for the most cup series titles ever in a top nascar career.. pretty amazing
Stephen A. knowing about the lore of Cars was not on the agenda 😂😂😂

Not at all😂😂 i was shook by his retort
This was Goated
Why not? Cars is an incredibly successful franchise, he’s not just a sports commentator lol
@@MalachiPlaysGamesI mean as a person who loved cars as a kid, I woulda had no idea they were tied in piston cups, and he didn’t even grow up with the movies
Bro I was the caller with the Cars question 😭😭😭 Stephen was prepared to say the least
@@K_D_A he had like 40min to prep and knew my question beforehand, I was on hold lol
Ha! That’s awesome bro😎😂must’ve been a fun moment
@@gooseislooserMan I can’t believe you had to give him a question like that! Must’ve taken guts to ask him a question that sounds random.
@@gooseislooserYou’re a legend
@@gooseislooser you are a legend lol
"He played in an era of old engine cars" this caller is too good
Hard for SAS to make a comeback😂
Not to mention McQueen would have had 8 if he didn’t stop right before the finish line in the first movie.
@@zachdelacerda6530he stopped short
Yeah, Stephen A Smith is just straight up wrong in my opinion
Strip was racing against plumbers and mailmen. The level of competition just wasn't the same.
Stephen A knowing the name "Strip Weathers" and his Piston cup numbers straight off the dome is crazy
off the dome is diabolical 😭
It's obviously a planned call.
Turns out the caller is in the comments section. Apparently Stephen had prep time
Clip itself was still hilarious though lol
No way people think this wasn't planned
@@reddd-77even if it was planned, he only had about a day and a half from the Twitter discourse😂
The fact that he answered the question as serious as any First Take segment is hilarious. 😂
He sure knows his stuff.
what makes it so f'IN funny
@@elyzzz1 this grown man who is screaming at the caller for asking questions on lightning McQueen coincidentally knowns a lot about lightning McQueen
@@vikinglordracing7570 Ikr. But ESPN is majority owned by Disney so I’m not fully surprised
its a serious question
I woulda DIED laughing if Stephen A just said: It's just an empty cup
So true LMAO
Or he did what in his cup
“He did what in his cup!?”
“You know, some old racer once told me. It’s just an empty cup.”
How is it empty if it’s a pissed in cup
The slideshow pictures of McQueen were killing me 😭
It was funny because they took it seriously. Must be fun job
Ka chooww 😂
😂😂😂
Literally Stephen A Smith knowing about the lore of Disney Pixar’s Cars was not on the agenda whatsoever
Bruh that was EPIC
Copied

That was Epic 🤓 I just know your white
The fact they put up pictures of Lightning McQueen like they were showing a highlight is hilarious 💀
He’s making fun of the guy for liking and talking about cars meanwhile knows a lot about it to. That caller is a legend
That caller isn't legendary, he phoned in and was wrong the entire time. 😂😂

McQueen undeniable GOAT
Counterpoint: Strip. Weathers. Has. Seven. Piston. Cups
@@jaketwo3548so do lightning what’s your point
If weathers raced in a much easier era..why’d it take him 30 years? Sounds like he walked so McQueen could run.
McQueen has 7 , would have had 8 except he literally pushed strip weathers through the finish line
I'd prefer the much longer career. 7 titles in 30 years is better than 7 in 9 years.
This man got me googling piston cups.
Bruh 🤣🤣🤣
🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
Stephen A being a savant of Cars was totally unexpected to me 😂😂 this was hilarious
I love how Stephen A just carried on as if cars was super real
Don't let my nephew read that.
Wow... SAS knows his PIXAR! As one who works in the animation industry, I am utterly impressed!
Well he does work for Disney..
He did have like half an hour knowing the question lol but regardless it's great preparation
@@StevenP727Not necessarily. Callers switch up on call screeners all the time
@@StevenP727 That makes a lot more sense now cuz it looked like he was checking his notes during it. He's a professional so he's real quick with it but every once in a while he'll glance down at his notes
Lightning McQueen blew a 2 lap lead in the Piston Cup
And his coaching record aint good either!
I mean I'd argue that he would have had that as his 1st Piston Cup, but my man knew there's more to life than a Trophy.
First rookie that would’ve done it
But in his 2nd he showed how superior he was by stopping right at the finish line!!
Still can’t believe Stephen A decided to take a question like that! I would’ve immediately hanged up if I were in his shoes.
….dude that called in about Cars was straight trolling lol
….you can hear him snickering at the end before he was hung up on 😂
Clearly
Duh
This is one of my favorite segments so far. Stephen, you’ve had a lot of moments with this podcast in this short amount of time. Keep it up 😂
I’ve had a brutal day, and hearing Stephen A argue about Cars is everything I needed
Hope you feel better now, man.
Stephen A is a bad man, I was not expecting him to be able to argue (and be right) about a Cars debate 😂😂
Although he's leaving out two crucial details, McQueen did what the Strip in 30 years, Lightning did in 9 years, and would've had one more cup compared to Strip had he not done the sportsman like thing and helped Strip finish his last race. And that does not include his World Grand Prix potential win had it not been a front for an alternative fuel smear campaign and subsequent assassination attempt
I wish that call went longer lol
3:24 the pure rage in his voice over a 20 year old animated movie
Top-10 Stephen A moment. Absolutely electric sports talk happening here
Honestly if the debate on if McQueen is the GOAT happened on First Take it would be a legendary segment
They shoulda let Stephen A voice a character in Cars 3
You already know somehow they'd squeeze LeBron in there

THEY HAD LIGHTING'S PICTURES READY I'M DYING 😂😂😂
Danny was cracking up lol....he got what he wanted
Is there a sport that Stephen A. doesn’t know I mean Cars?!!! Bruh that was epic🤣
"you would have a point if you were 7 years old" might be the most disrespectful stephen a quote 😂😂
"Faster than fast, quicker than quick. I am Lightning..."
"Ka-chow!"
🚘⚡️
And that is what is called "knowing your business!" Stephen A. reminds me of my brother (rip) they don't see or interact with a thing they experience it and remember details other ppl would gloss over. Underestimate them and they'll surprise you every time.
Kinda unrelated, but rip to ya brother man🤍, hope you’re doing well.
@@EJHayes-qo4qi Thanks. He's been gone for a while now. He was cool people.
Stephen A got me dying at 3:24😭😭
Brought out the Mad Dog in him.
SAS talking to Josh Giddey
@@WHITEPERSUAS1ONNAHHH MAN AINT NO WAY 💀💀💀💀
That's what Stephen A's dad always shouted at him when he kept watching Cars
I didn't have Stephen A. Smith knowing about the lore of Pixar's CARS on my 2023 bingo card.
Epic.
LMAO!! The cars question and answer sequence LMAO🤣🤣🤣
Now lets google piston cups 🧐😂
this was far funnier than it should have been lol
Doc Hudson is the goat in cars he taught lightning everything he knows
his career got cut short though, it'd be like calling arvydas the goat, if he had a full NBA career probably yeah but like he only won 3 piston cups before getting into a career ending crash.
Only one to 3-peat don’t forget that 🥶
Top 5 all time
His drift move is iconic and Lightning wouldn't have extended his career after being lost in the desert without it and without Tow Mater's incompetent pit crew work Lightnight wouldn't have fallen behind against Francisco in the World Grand Prix!
Lmaooo we need more questions like this
Stephen A. Smith knows his Pixar movies. I’m impressed.
Little did you know Stephen A is a HUGE Cars fan and knew the lore like a snap of the fingers. An incredible all time moment.
“You’re 21!!!”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
No one is as well rounded Stephen A. I love it
I’m crying at everyone talking about cars lore the past few days on Twitter. Some people calling McQueen their goat. Others calling that electric car their goat
Aint no way Smith just pulled the "Strip Weathers" outta the bag 😂😂man is knowledged
I’d absolutely love if other people called In arguing about something like space jam “Stephan A Lola bunny did more for the toon squad than Jordan did!! Jordan just had the last shot against the monstars!!” Or just something crazy it would be hilarious although it should definitely not be every call that would get annoying fast but every once in a while to get a good chuckle would be amazing 😂
“Sorry that ain’t gonna work. You tryna catch me with that. Trying to sleep on a brotha.” LMAO he was ready for it
Stephen a just gained my ETERNAL respect 😂😂😂😂
Y'all know Mr. Stephen A knows his stuff. Come on now
This is the kind of content i can get behind
I gotta whole new respect for Stephen A 😂😂😂😂😂
This made my day 🤣. I grew up with these movies, main reason my fav color is red is because of Lightning. Caller AND SAS are legends in my book now 📕.
Dude is a master debater
Danny is a master baiter
I liked how SA went along with question as if todays segment was about Cars.
Strip Weathers (The King)
-has 7 piston cups
-dominated the league for 30 years (Lebron James status)
-cars in that era had fewer regulation and the technology back then was limited (which means that cars of that era didn't have all the sophisticated computers shown in cars 2)
-strip may have been bribed at certain points in time during the fuel crisis to throw a few races to help with dinoco to still exist till this date
(which means he could have had more piston cups if it weren't for the fuel crisis)
What killed me more than anything is when he basically went “If we’re gonna talk movies, let’s talk about true cinema…like Fast and Furious”
Great joke, then he mentioned 5,6, or 7 and said 8,9&10 are good too🤣
I never knew this was the Stephen A video I needed 😂
Stephen a smith ladies and gents 🤣
SAS out here breaking down lore like an Elder Scrolls fanatic.. Unnecessary aggression included 😂
The aggression was very necessary. Made the whole bit that much funnier.
@@seymoresmithh8908 he sounds like a fan at a convention.. it's funny to me
Y’all be calling asking Mr. Stephen A dumb question 😂😂 just to get attention
The cars one wasn’t dumb
I would’ve immediately hanged up the call if I were in Stephen A’s shoes because everybody knows you’re not supposed to mix Pixar and ESPN together.
@@KHood23-g8x So u just gonna disrespect GOAT McQueen like that?
@@Mrcharles. 😂😂😂Fr tho
@@Mrcharles.Don't disrespect the goat
I was actually ready for a whole segment on cars. Bring back this caller
Did they just edit Lightning McQueen onto a legitimate race track? 💀
Mad respect to Stephen A for knowing about Cars
AH COME ON NOW STEPHEN😂😂 ! DANNY DANNY ? HOW OLD ARE YOU ?🤣😂
the McQueen v Strip Weathers debate on twitter really got me entertained along with this one lol
This was perfect, just perfect hahahah "YOU'RE NOT A LITTLE KID!"
Stephen tapped into his inner mad dog russo
Yep. Mad Dog is that dude 😂😂😂
This is hilarious😂😂😂
If this went wrong we would've had another Ron Baker moment😂
Stephen A coming back about Cars is CLASSIC!

You know the caller has been wanting to say "Oh come on now Stephen!" 😂
This was halarious! The cars debate made me in sync with my inner child. Thank you Steven A.🏎️🏁
How many times has Stephen A’s daughters made him sit through the movie cars for him to immediately pull out the lore?!
I was hoping the whole segment was spent arguing the lore of Cars 🤣🤣
This will go viral😂😂😂
It’s already goin on Twitter 😂
@@Jj-mu6hg I knew it 🤣SAS just spazzed on some Pixar ish hilarious

Stephen A waiting for someone to ask him abt Cars his entire life 💀
Why does this man know the cars lore😭
This was gold, need more of this please 😂
Love how they added in action photos of Lightning McQueen 😂
The funniest part for me was how they just pulled up the lighting McQueen pics so fast 😂😂
This the old Stephen A i know...when the angry caller Carlton use to call in yelling 🤣
This was probably the funniest thing ive seen. 2 grown men arguing over cars
The fact that someone came on the phone with this topic is comedy.
Disney should make Stephen A into an Announcer on the next Cars 😂😂😂
Reminds me of Bobby Bushay calling in for Captain Insano 😂
"He did what in his cup?"😂
Lmfao 😂 yooo this is too good. I got the flu and been suffering over here thanks for making my day SAS.
Hope you feel better
