Dad: Wow isn’t Rick something?
Rick: Wow thanks dad!!
Skip: Well is he really that guy? Seriously, In the last 2 minutes of doing his chores, he left a dirty spot on 2 plates. In all my years of covering chores, I’ve never seen anything like it.Chosen one turns into the frozen one.
Lmao
Well done 👍
This is hilarious
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣 You win the internet today!
I can feel Skip’s pain over not being closer with his brother. Skip is so proud of his baby brother. I hope they can bond as brothers before it’s too late.
I hope so but I doubt it. From Skip’s logic, “What are we going to talk about?” Rick hates to listen about sports stories, and Skip hates to listen to cooking stories. And both likely hate reminiscing about their past upbringing. SO…what are they going to talk about that they can’t already google about each other? It’s really sad, but that’s what likely motivates both to stay apart.
@@bamboosho0t they could just chill and break bread. You don't have to share interests with family to just hang out a couple of times a year
@@louiearmstrongyeah tbh I don’t feel as bad as everyone else, I don’t think it’s as hard to find something to talk about with ur bro as he makes it seem even as opposites
Ands now he is monetizing it
@@louiearmstrong... Very true. I'm sure they both have families they can talk about. Catch up on what their nephews, nieces, cousins, grandkids are doing. It doesn't even have to be about themselves, just "How's everyone doing?"
I'm sure they both might have a relative or two that would LOVE to get "tips" from their uncles. It doesn't even have to be about themselves. Time also tends to mellow people out and start to realize the commonality within each other. There's more to life than just sports and cooking. It sounds like Skip needs to branch outside of sports. Rick seems more laid back and mellower of the two.
I hope they set aside their differences for a bit and realize those differences are what makes them who they are and just accept it.
Skip, it’s never too late! Your brother Rick has been my favorite chef for decades and I know nothing could bring you two together better than dinner and margaritas at his restaurant. You both did so much, you might be surprised how much of a positive influence you were!
Doubt it- some rifts can't be fixed and from what he's saying this is one- not everything is sunshine and rainbows
Probably too simple for such ingrained
ANGER / RAGE against his brother ...Skip definitely has issues , counseling may help to assuage his feelings of neglect and rejection.
Can't be mad at skip for chasing his dreams. When you have kids, you want them to accomplish their dreams and get a career, not take care of you and give up on their dreams. The household is dysfunctional and toxic. Not skips responsibility to fix it.
I agree they are family they both just had different interest but have both done well in life
Sometimes is better to stay away.
Unlike many "celebrity" chefs, Rick Bayless is genuinely respected, admired and liked within his industry.
He also told Jaques Pepin that he had enough wine on a show, so he can pound sand.
Skip sniffs jock straps
@@starshaped73 take your own advice Skippy
More than Gordon Ramsey?
@@soundwave3353 You're kidding, right?
“My father got up at 4am, which seems pretty late to me” the shade 😂👌
Translation: No one out grinds Skip! 🤣
@Weltall8000 because he gets up at 3am. And it’s kind of late considering BBQ takes awhile
And people are saying he will not call Westbrook “Westbrick” to his face
Typical Skipper…snh
Skip brother big time
The fact that him and his brother both achieved major success in their respective fields while having almost no relationship is insane to me. Hope they mend before it’s too late.
Hate to say it.. But they are in their 60's... Skip doesn't seem to mend too many fences....
#ItIsWhatItIs
What is there to mend? All they could do is just get closer together but that will never be the case and they don't really need too
@@remingtonporter4369 I think Skip is in his 70's.
@@FierroSev They don’t really need to..? Why wouldn’t they not need to? They’re brothers. Can’t replace blood.
@@blaxpoitation8528 but by going off what Skip said there was no relationship to begin with. There is nothing to mend when nothing was ever there in the first place. It seems like Skip respects his bro but knows the time for them to really connect and bond has come and past
“My dad ran off with my moms best friend “Judy” who lived down the block” put her on blast… 🤣
😂😂😂😂
@@js0836 grow up
That's minor...compared to what Judy did to his family.
The "blast" lasted 2 seconds. His hurt...a lifetime.
I love Rick. His cooking show is legendary.
Skip and his brother Rick somehow each achieved incredible success from such a difficult childhood while not having a relationship at all
Pretty amazing when you think about it
Lowkey wanted to show each other they could make it without the other
@@dwilliams380 skip can only win with another star. rick carried his team to the chip
@@RobinXlonemaybe that's why he despises Steph and LeBron so much because they remind him of himself
It’s crazy. You’d think growing up sharing a bedroom, enduring a challenging family life and only being 2 years apart in age would draw them closer.
The weird thing is how Skip constantly mentions how other people are “more of a brother to me than my actual brother”. As if Rick did something awful to him.
Rick: I want to play on the swings
Luan: no I want to play on the swings.
Skip: Nooo!! It’s my turn!!
😂🤣
I can hear his voice saying this
💀
Hearing Skip say he loses no sleep over him and his brother not speaking for years speaks volumes; It makes me understand his personality much more now.
This is how to be a human. The amount of openness and honesty is something you hardly ever see. No finger pointing, no excuses, just an honest reflection on their reality.
Well said
One sided monologue from a career grumbler--he's a terrible example of humanity. Go follow his brother.
@@ryancheong9486 oh shut up
Out of all the things Skip has ever shared about himself I genuinely feel this is the saddest one. I can't imagine growing up seeing a sibling every day and not having at least somewhat of a relationship with them. Probably goes to show how dysfunctional his household was growing up.
it's common for there to be dysfunctional families out there. It's sad indeed because there's no fixing a dysfunctional family and it'll take a miracle from everybody for a dysfunctional family to be functional again.
I have several brothers like that
@@jbmlk same
Both sides have to give and take.....find common things to bring them together....
All this Things let us better understand why he is how he is…
His brother: for me, Lebron is the undisputed GOAT.
Skip: Stephen A Smith was always a brother, more than my brother has ever been to me.
I don't see this as sad. Not everyone in every family gets along. This is a success story, good on them for making it out of a tough childhood!
The regret my father has not being able to reconcile with his father about being abandoned, tears at him even 30 years later. Skip loved sports, but “Ricky” loved cooking and the family business. Which is likely why his parents attached to Rick more than Skip, who would rather obsess about sports. *This illustrates how failure to communicate is more damaging to relationships than harsh words.*
Skip is really “at-ting” these people. “My dad ran off with my mom’s best friend. Her name was Judy.” The savagery. 💀
BIG savagery 😂😂😂😂
When you reach a certain age the edit button is gone
@@gilbertnicholas1582 I see.
Skip really don’t give af lmao
Mehn that was savagery
There’s still time Skip. Connect with your brother
For real!!
How he just said they had nothing in common to even have a convo
@@A_Notes yes. But still they need to do that. Because if skip brother will die, skip will regret about not even trying to fix things.
The man eats rice and chicken cauliflower everyday, the brother is a chef.
They are like water and oil
@@Queensbridge_10th_St Relatives should have existent relationships.
I’ve been going through a very similar situation with my little brother (who’s 3 years younger than me). I’m 35 now and we don’t speak anymore because the last 15 years we had nothing in common and family issues got into the way of us having a healthy relationship. This story completely resonates with me because although we’re two very different people and never speak to one another, I miss, love, and proud of him everyday. So if you have a sibling(s), cherish them as much as you can. It hurts just writing this. Thank you though Skip for telling this story. 👍🏻
As a older sibling you should be the one to reach out to him.
@@trinitrujano7510 I’ve tried numerous times. Thank you for the comment though. 👍🏻❤️
I’m so sorry for the estrangement between you and your brother. I don’t know if you believe in God but He’s a way maker. He can mend hearts of stone and cause love to flourish and relationships to start anew. Prayer changes things. 💕❤️
@@trinitrujano7510 just be quiet your helpful at all.
Literally the same except slightly older and he’s 2 years younger. Drinking is a big factor. I wish him the best but he is beyond help at the moment.
Ive been a fan of both brothers for years. Im not going to lie im shock of hearing this. Skip, that was very brave of you openning like this about you and your brother and the things the both of and your sister (rip) has to go through. Thank you for sharing this story with everyone. May God bless the both of you.
The funniest part about this is how he’s still mad about not getting Valedictorian 40+ years later🤣
I like that. You hear how some athletes don’t let go a bad game , Skip is mad about something academic. Pretty neat
skip is a winner with killer mentality unlike lebitch
That’s what makes him successful, he uses his past as fuel
I would be too. Such a cheap way to lose out on it lol
Try 50+ years later.
I’ve been watching Skip for years and hearing this truly put in prospective how great his career is. He went from that bunk bed, to becoming a famous newspaper writer, to covering some of the best Football teams of the 80’s and 90’s to being on the best ESPN show (rated wise) in Cold Pizza/First Take and now is on Undisputed with Shannon. He did all that with having drunks as parents and barely being at home. That’s truly impressive
Coming from a city and state at the time that had no professional teams
@Whyyoumadatfacts? 🤷♂️ no physical or moral support from family or friends and having to start from scraps to where skip is at now is probably what he meant
@@patrickschreiber6561 - Some of us don’t need support or contact from others in order to be successful. Success is based off self desire and self motivation.
@@DrPhill96 read “Lost Einsteins” and you’ll know that’s not true. That environment seriously affects people into adulthood and most don’t get to heal fully.
@@LowkAlexander - Some, not all. Some of us build calluses and dense bodies in order to adapt, others get inflammation and weak central nervous systems because they can’t.
I don't like or even listen to Skip, but the algorithm brought this to me. What a sad, heartbreaking story. It gives insight into his drive, his heart, and clearly helped shape him. Respect for sharing this with the world.
Been wondering about Skip’s relationship with his brother for a while now as someone who is a big fan of sports and also into cooking. Threw me through a loop when I found out Rick was his brother. Really sad that they never connected during childhood like that. I get the different interests part making it hard, but I would hope both are happy at where they are in life and could connect with one another now as maturer adults. Shout out to both of them for overcoming the trials and tribulations of their youth to rise to the top of their respective fields though. Pretty incredible.
Rick seems very happy and passionate about his life. Skip, here is only complaining. Sounds like they both had the same chances in life. Rick always did what he loved. Skip had the same chances. Now he grumbles. Sounds bitter.
@@Atcraftcity For sure, Skip projecting all the negativity that his siblings "felt" to him. I doubt that Rick who EVERYONE loves and adores, who has a beautiful career and home life, has not forgiven Skip for something that happened a long long time ago.
So painfully honest. That's why I tell my oldest son that he is a leader and responsible for shaping a positive relationship with his younger brothers
I wish more older siblings (including myself) realized this while they're young. If you are nice to your younger siblings you will have them as loyal devoted friends for the rest of your life. All it takes is some kindness and love. The problem is that we older ones are too immature to realize this as kids.
a good parent will force yall niggas to be an example. u also gotta teach the younger ones to listen and respect what the oldest says. its all programming that needs to be done early as possible.
This has been embedded in my oldest head since day 1. He's 18 now, the other two boys are 14 & 12. My babygirl is 7. I grew up in foster care, 7 siblings in different states. Our grandmother taught us about sibling love no matter how far we were. I spread that to mines. At the end of the day they are all they have & they are each other's family & friends before anyone.
This is so sad to me, i can sense the regret in skip when going thru this
@@amitabhhajela681 it's about being immature the oldest has more pressure from the parents to be the best and turn out to be something and have less wiggle room too just be. So they tend to have to focus on themselves so they don't let their parents down and in the mean time you see how your parents treat the younger ones like allstar's
I literally have a whole new level of respect for Skip. I pray him and his brother can mend whatever they’ve been through together and find the time and space to initiate getting to know one another intentionally.
Just because they’re blood, doesn’t mean they’re family.
He’s had issues with his sister and brother for 70 years and it won’t change now. Sounds like Skips the problem since he’s the common factor.
Shhh
There isn’t anything to mend. Did you watch the video? That’s just how they are because they were never taught to show love for each other and had absolutely nothing in common.
@@patrick553 he literally said throughout the whole vid they didn’t have problems with each other they just didn’t know each other cause of their different interest
His brother is better off with skip out of his life! Skip is toxic
I have a similar story. My dad was a hopeless alcoholic when I was growing up in the '60s, he was a WWII veteran, an infantry sergeant, who had watched helplessly as his company was slaughtered by the Germans. He was captured and spent three years in German POW camps. He suffered severe PTSD for the rest of his life. He and my mother had 4 children together, growing up in a deeply dysfunctional family. It wasn't just my father, it was my mother too. And yet all four of us went to become successful professionals. Neither of my parents went to college, but we kids all got college degrees. My older sis, the oldest of us four, had a career in the National Park Service and held several positions in which she was the first woman to achieve them. My younger sis became a broadcast journalist when the profession was still dominated by men. Unfortunately she was killed on the job when she was just 24 in 1982. I have a younger brother as well. We have not achieved the fame of the Bayless Brothers, but who cares, we all made something out of our lives coming from a very less than ideal family situation.
Rick Bayless is a stud in his chosen field.
Skip Bayless is something a stud would leave in the field.
This is probably Skip Bayless' best commentary ever. However it's never too late for him to foster some kind of relationship with his brother. Even if it's a book they can do together. They already lost a sister. Time is too precious now for the Bayless Brothers to bridge this gap.
Yes Kevin. What Skip just said to us say it to your brother. There is still time.
Bayless Brothers history of Dallas cowboys with tailgating recipes 🤔
As sad as it is I don’t think there is any reconciling here with these brothers it’s been too long things were like this and as you get older you are less likely to change
@@MayoMonsters
Exactly. 70 years.
Skip doesn't care about anyone else he is a sociopath it's all about him.
I appreciate Skip's honesty about his relationship with his brother.
Sometimes families are not close.
Every family is not the Walton's or the Cartwrights.
Sometimes they are simply strangers living under the same roof.
Trust me I know the feeling and that's all I will say.
Please elaborate
@@coachtorres5536 The video elaborates his statement pretty well..
@@isvvx Yep. watch the video @coach torres ...
I have followed both Skip and Rick for decades as I'm a Chef and a sports fan.
I never knew they were brothers and definitely was not aware of the back story. You are both great in your own ways and if it's meant to be you can have a future relationship but it's OK if that never comes to fruition.
Tears in the eyes..... You have made me think about so many parallels to my own life growing up in an awful environment (finding my brother after he had taken his own life when I was 16) and yet making something very special and meaningful out of my life. Mostly out of sheer determination and - I was so lucky to be borne smart. I have been a fan of your brother for years and I am now an even bigger fan of yours Mr. Bayless. May we both continue to make peace with our past and live as well as we can appreciating all of the blessings that eventually did come our way - despite growing up in $h!tholes and dysfunction... Good on you for sharing this story. I am sure your brother is also very proud of you.
I think about my bro every day since Oct 21, 2007. Hugs to you my fellow human
Skip took a shot as his own dad for waking up at 4am 😂😂😂
No one's safe.

“4 am, that’s pretty late to me” 🤣🤣🤣
Mom: “I just know your father is at work late, Skip”
Skip: “He’s at Judy’s house, Mom…you know it and I know it!”

This comment is tasteless but y’all say anything for a like.smh
@@daqgivens You’re a crybaby
Thanks for putting this very personal story out there, Skip. I appreciate you telling your story, and I hope you two find each other one day. TBH, I was never a fan of your takes, but, I've always respected your accomplishments and passion. I've watched both of you while growing up in the 90's, and didn't even know you were brothers until many years later. You're two different sides of the same coin and its actually kind of beautiful. 💜
His brother's a bonafide genius. A Michelin star chef and nearly a phd in linguistics.
Plus a LeBron fan
No clue they offer phd’s in talking.

i expect Shannon sharpe to bring Ricky to Undisputed as a surprise guest on sibling day lol
Say what you want about Skip but I respect him sharing his life with us and being so open about it. Great story!
I've met Rick Bayless on several occasions. He is truly an amazing person. If he's not talking to his brother, there's a legitimate reason
Rick seems like the better dude. Skip sold his soul to become a hot take artist.
@@ldc19900Know the history. Skip broke the SMU scandal 40 or so years ago. He's been supremely talented at investigative journalism amongst other things related to the field since the 70's.
He admits why in the video. He left to go to college while the family was in disarray..
I'm glad Skip is FINALLY acknowledging his siblings.....the sad part is his sister tried to get him to be a part of her family's life. She has two wonderful children that Skip never even acknowledged.....I think it's great he seems to be making amends, but his sisters kids (his niece and nephew) deserve better from him. She was a wonderful person, educator, wife, and mother, and unfortunately lost that battle with cancer after 4 or 5 years of fighting
I'm sure skip has a version where hes the victim of his niece and nephew.
"Im older" "He's my LITTLE brother" "Little Ricky" "I was top bunk he was bottom"
Yeah.. thats a classic between brothers lmao
Called his restaurant little and everything lmao
I've seen that guy on the food network. Didn't know they were brothers though. Lot of respect for you doing this. It takes guts to lay your soul bare. I had a strange relationship with my brother also. He was 10 years older and died last year of lung cancer. We had a totally different view on everything and weren't close. Loved him, but often didn't really like him. I did all the stuff that needed to be done to settle his affairs but have no real fond memories. My Dad died the year before and we were very close. I think of he and my Mom often.
I went through a similar situation. I grew up in a very volatile household. My father was schizophrenic and he was a madman. I avoided coming home out of fear and joined the military as soon as I was 17. I escaped that environment but left my brothers and sisters behind. I didn't realize that they felt abandoned by me. It was flight or flight. My father was beating me up. I didn't see him hurt my younger siblings. So I didn't feel that I was doing something bad at the time. To this day we are not on speaking terms due to my decision. After listening to Skip describe his situation I can see their side. It's really tragic all the way around. I am happy to see that both Skip and Rick are thriving. But it is sad that they are not on speaking terms.
I once met Rick Bayless at a charity dinner he guest hosted and I had the pleasure to cook with him. Despite looking just like Skip I never made the connection they were related. It was probably Rick’s quiet and calm demeanor that threw me off them being related😂. Despite only meeting him once he left a lasting impression on me ,he seemed like a very kind and generous human.
Exactly, which is why he wants none of his toxic brother in his life.
Both of y’all are successful🤷🏿♂️I think y’all should work out y’all differences nd act like brothers…
They are acting like brothers
You think huh? You should be a philosopher with all your great thinking.
This was really powerful. Skip you didn't leave him in a mess, you were 18. I hope in adulthood that you and your brother can get in contact and recognize that life is very short.
well he did leave him in a mess....thats just a fact. You cant really blame Skip but he did leave his younger siblings behind in a bad situation. There are many older siblings that are forced to act like parents to their brothers and sisters. This happens all the time, but just because they go above and beyond doesnt mean you should judge Skip for looking out for himself.
Skip's 70 and the only time they've talked in a decade is a meaningless conversation at their own mother's funeral. i highly doubt they're gonna somehow "rekindle" something that never existed in their old age
@@mike-mz6yz I think you understand my sentiment, which was that he states it as if he deserved blame. I do not disagree with you. I simply mean that 'leaving' as he did does not mean the same thing as 'leaving some to' something.
@@pdfbanana I said nothing about 'rekindling'. I just believe that if he can have this conversation with the world, now that much of his family is gone and they are those who are left, that he can try to have the conversation with his brother.
@@mike-mz6yz what was he supposed to do? Stay there and live in the mess longer? If they were very close then maybe I could see it. But with how he described their relationship, he had to get out of there in order to become what he is now
Wholly Smokes…….After years of Loving and following both Rick and Skips Careers I never for one second knew they were brothers. I’ve found a new respect for Skip on watching this, I’ve always respected Rick because of his emersment in my Culture that sometimes I didn’t even know…..from the Bottom of my Family’s heart Thank You to Mr and Mrs Bayless for gifting us(Society) with awesome hard working folks……Now excuse me while I go say thank you to my siblings for helping raise me.
Wow, it's amazing how different a story Rick Bayless paints of his family. From Rick's recounting, it sounded like a charmed life!
Skip may just be bitter. There are multiple sides to every story.
Yeah, well, my brother and I dont view our childhood the same. I'm grateful for what I had, and he focuses exclusively on the bad and crafts nefarious intentions behind everything everyone has done for him.
We are close... but hes outright delusional about his childhood hardships.
As the father of an only child, I explained to my daughter that there is no guarantee that siblings will be close. I haven't spoken to my brother in 5 years. Growing up we were three years apart and except for elementary school, we were never in the same school together in our teenage years and we ran in different circles. This video made me realize that, while sad, it's a common tale.
my brother and i haven’t spoken for about 5 years, father and I haven’t spoken in nearly 8 years now. As a man its very tough growing up without a father figure and having to figure it all out on your own. Sometimes i wish things were different but not everyone gets along i guess. Can’t wait until i have kids of my own so i can do things different and have a close relationship with them.
I can understand all my siblings have the same father and my grandparents were married for 82 years and had 17 kids together god rest they soul but siblings are going be different and have differences but give people flowers while they living life is to short I have my grandkids now at 41 and served my country as a Air Force veteran. We as people have to learn to love each other
Are you the older or younger child? I'm an older brother and that's how its been with my little brother though ive been willing to hang out and do whatever. It just happens but thats the lesson I took from this is what your first sentence said. You never know how siblings will be with eachother. It messes a lot of us up because family is supposed to be important than anything else. At least that's how we're raised.
@@OliverGrace7 older. My brother and I couldn't be more different from each other. I always accepted that but my brother could never believe I accepted that. I complimented a photo of him on Facebook and he thought I was being sarcastic when I gave a serious compliment.
having only one child sucks.
They have to look after 2 old people by themself. thats hard
The parallels between Skip and Shannon's lives are crazy. Two brothers that made it to the NFL from abject poverty and are extremely close and two brothers that came from humble beginnings that became highly successful in their different fields but have no relationship.
Umm Shannon and Sterling Sharpe are very close
Lol "two brothers that made it to the NFL and are extremely close". He's talking about skip and rick. I read it wrong at first as well lol. God bless!
How do you know if he does or doesnt
@@chrisprime7079 its obvious if you've seen anytime skip or Shannon talk about their brothers what kind of relationship they have with them
@@chrisprime7079 they both speak highly of each-other? Shannon brings his brother up quite often and speaks on their relationship.
It’s not uncommon and Shannon don’t have a reason to lie 🤷🏾♂️
I love Rick Bayless - no one understands Mexican cuisine and no one is out there teaching like he does.
You can’t choose your family members before you’re born.
I'm gonna listen to this but Rick Bayless has helped shape more of my life than Skip ever will. I can live without sports. Can't live without food. Deeply grateful that PBS allowed me to welcome Rick and his ever evolving views on Mexican cuisine into my life.
Skip, reach out to your bro. Life is short and who know how long either of you will be here. There are stories that you two need to tell each other, that only you take can appreciate
As a little brother, who has had a tumultuous relationship with his 4 years older brother.

Thank you.

Even though they aren’t the closest blood brothers in the world you can tell dearly that Skip is super proud of Little Rickey he’s calling him 😂
Thank you for sharing this. It took a lot of courage to share such deep relationship memories. I congratulate you and think the world of you now. I also encourage you to seek a coach or counselor, as they can help you unpack many of these relationship memories as well as possibly get you to consider reframing your thinking. It’s worth it, Skip. You are a huge success story and I’m sure it took a lot of drive and persistence to achieve. Congratulations.
I’m glad Skip said he was proud of Rick and that he loved him 🥲

Skip, I think you know your brother more than you realize. To love someone is to know them first.
I pray the Lord brings you healing, emotionally and spiritually. Any burdens that you are carrying can be cast to God. I have a very similar relationship with my younger brother, although we were a bit closer than you and your brother, and we interacted for more years throughout our childhood before growing apart.
May God bring you peace and healing and joy. You and your brother are amazing, amazing people.
As a cook who absolutely loves football and basketball, my mind is blown just finding out that these 2 legends are BROTHERS! Wow! Completely went over my head for years !
Right?!? I'm just sitting here like... everyone that works at the restaurant I cook at loves sports! In fact, just like their dad, I'm a cook at a BBQ restaurant (I also wake up at 4 to make ribs), and to me BBQ and sports just go hand in hand, so it's so bizarre to hear that there's this huge divide. Literally, all I watch on UA-cam all day are basketball or cooking videos, so I just find it so strange that this was this huge barrier for them.
That all being said, I remember what it was like being a kid, and how your whole personality is so fragile, and differences like that can seem so huge, so I guess it makes sense that when you compound that with being raised in such a dysfunctional home, it adds up to this separation. I actually feel like I relate to Skip (and Rick) a lot now too, cause I also have family that I have no relationship with, for reasons that make sense to me, but probably seem like they would be minor to other people.
Same!
@@samweldon8104 grilling while preparing for the game is such a vibe 😎
Lol me too
Right! I seriously had no idea.
Rick Bayless is accomplished & respected and genuinely seems like a great guy. Skip......we'll.....it's Skip
This was like a swan song to his brother, i really felt this one... its insane how great of a storyteller Skip is, his takes are always pretty shocking to say the least, but when it comes to talking about real life, Skip is an OG, he was great morals and is very self conscious
Your MOST interesting reveal to date, Skip. Thanks for this. Helpful.
ThiS is HIS trUTH
How’s it helpful
I absolutely love Rick Bayless. Such a classic gentleman
What an incredible story. I didn't know your brother was Rick. He is indeed a famous master chef. You both have things in common, like how both of came into national prominence or share your experiences on the road to success. Also, the people you've met along the way and the people who have impacted your the most in life. How being renown has changed your life. You know life is very short and before you know it, you could miss out on opportunities to get to know your brother. Do you want the same thing that happened to your sister, happen to your little brother? Invite him over for thanksgiving (but have it catered). You would be amazed at the conversations you could have with him over a fine bottle of wine. Having so many regrets is not the way you want to end your life.
That’s a great idea. But to be honest, I think it’s possible we’d get a different story and history from Rick. What made me think that is when Skip said he also didn’t have a relationship with his sister, but that his sister and Rick were close. (And it sounds like Rick was closer with the mom, too.)
Plus, Skip keeps saying that his brother and sister probably never forgave him for in essence abandoning them with the mess of the home life. But if all Skip had done was go to college upon graduation (just 2 years ahead of Rick), that doesn’t seem like abandonment that an adult Rick would still be resentful over. So there seems to be something more. Maybe Skip really did basically move out during high school (staying at his friends’ and girlfriend’s homes, like he said), and Rick and his sister felt Skip just bailed for all of high school and thereafter, and never looked back for them once in college.
Just a hunch, but I think if Rick were telling this story, there would be a different explanation for their estrangement than just not having anything in common.
But who knows? Anyway, I enjoy both of their “products,” if you will. Hopefully they will find whatever forgiveness and reconciliation is needed, before it’s too late in this world.
Except I don't feel like crawling into a bottle of booze after hearing Rick Bayless talk.
This is heartbreaking. All I can say is, that if he and his brother were to ever bridge the gap between them they would be extremely happy.
It takes real courage not just to explain this in detail to your audience, but also to confront it and explain it to yourself. Tremendous respect for ya.
your humility shines through in this video. and this video resonates with me in ways that I'm not willing to share today, but someday. thank you Mr. Bayless.
Man… the sadness I feel because I can also relate, but in all of this. Look at how we can all come together and understand this pain, it’s a beautiful thing
The way he tells this story is incredible. It's incredibly emotional and you can feel every second of it, but he never breaks pace or staggers in the face of that emotion.
That was absolutely masterful.
That's because he is a sociopath he doesn't have normal emotions.
He's a great story teller 💯.
Skip is extremely smart, went to Vanderbilt for school and is a millionaire for a reason. He grabs your attention! Now, a lot of people disagree with him and his takes, but you cant deny he knows how to get views
You learn something new every day! I've been watching Rick for years, he's one of my favorite 👨🍳 Never had a clue about him being Skip's brother. I immediately see the resemblance. Wow!
Mr. Bayless, i want to say thank you. I'm the eldest child and I'm still helping my mom and siblings. I'll be 29 this month, but your words spoke to my soul. I'm never around my family, but i work 60 hours a week to help us all get by. I've always worked hard ever since i was 13. I appreciate this video. You're number one in my book when it comes to the sports media I watch. Thanks again, sir.
Much respect, you’re a class act and a man’s man. I know your mom is proud of you and the little one’s look up to you. God sees and knows everything. God sees the way you sacrifice and honor your Mother. He sees you doing right by your Mom and siblings. I just know you’re going to be richly and abundantly Blessed.
I have met your brother twice in St. Helana at a mutual friends resteraunt, he is truly warm and kind to his staff and people lucky enough to know him. You are so bitter.
I don't like cooking shows but for some reason I use to watch Ricky's show on PBS occasionally and he has a likable personality.
Oh wow, I watch Rick’s videos all the time! I absolutely love his cooking! I didn’t know that you were brothers.
This is sad, but I get it. My sister and I lost touch for many years. I'm proud to say that we've become great friends over the last year. Skip, I hope one day you and your brother can develop a closeness.
I feel weird that after this video, i went straight to a Rick Bayless video where he showed me how to make the best tomito salsa
I felt it in my soul when he said “the irony in it is I was the family weirdo”😂😂😂😂
Your soul!?🤔 smh…
@@peteypitts1461 you got a problem?
@@peteypitts1461 you a weirdo... See how that works?
@@peteypitts1461 whats your issue Lil bro
Can confirm
This is/was better than any sports piece he’s ever done. Well done Skip.
Pick up the phone & call your brother Skip… We don’t wanna hear your lamenting especially when you two can reconcile and develop a relationship forward. All the best!
That's not saying much, but this a piece
I have never seen a video by Skip but I couldn't stop watching. Everything was well told. I am not the oldest of siblings; I am third born. Not every sibling relationship has a connection among 4. Parents had a part in this.
I have watched the cook Rick maybe 2 times. Both are very talented. It would be great if these brothers could celebrate together.
I really appreciate you sharing this Skip.
So his brother is a chef? No wonder Skip don't like Curry. 🙏🏾
ZING!
Zing
He’s not just a chef he’s one of the best
That's a stretch there buddy cut it out 🫤
@@KingofeverythingChicagoBears how?
Two of my best friends work directly with Rick and I've met him through them. He's incredibly genuine and warm. He cares about a lot of people and treats his employees like family. When asked about Skip, Rick says that they were never close.
I often thought Skip and Rick Bayless were related. I never researched it and now this confirms it.
@@seanswinton6242 good work
Liar
When you rather be around the woke race baters like Stephanie A.. Its sad and i always stick up for skip but this one is sad and he doesn't care. Me and my brother are total opposites as im into sports and hes a recluse D&D kinda guy but ill always find time for him on holidays and some other free time. I guess Woke people are pretty selfish so it makes sense
@@AJ11OH-IO the fact that you are even leaning on "woke" which isn't even a clearly defined group of people is ridiculous and only shows your need to crowbar it in everywhere.... not to mention that skip is not considered "woke" he is considered the opposite... so his selfishness reflects on the "antiwoke" if anyone.
Brother, this randomly came up in my feed, I guess because I follow Rick, I must say, I couldn’t stop watching and listening to you. It’s sad and happy at the same time. Some how, some way, you both have become what you both were supposed to be! Thanks for sharing this, I appreciate your honesty and respect you for it!
This is content. This is good content. Incredible story. Both you and Rick are great. What a blessing that you each found your own rewarding paths. Life is quite the challenge, at times. Thanks.
This was heartbreaking and beautiful. I’m not the biggest skip Bayless fan, but this was great. Thanks for being so honest
He alwAYs Is
Skip is the best
It Sounds like you & Rick both lived hard lives & both overcame all the odds.! Bring him on the show Drip.! Life is too short
It's never to late to start a relationship, it just takes a little effort, the sad part is not caring enough to try. It's to late for your sister Skip, don't miss the opportunity with your brother
I pray for the healing of your wounded family relationship, its never to late. God Bless you🙏🙏
Honestly, knowing about Skip’s home life growing up really provides some incredible context into the man and what drives him. The fact that they both found and created their incredible success coming from such an unstable and chaotic environment as children is nothing short of remarkable. It also doesn’t surprise me that Skip was the “outcast” of the family either, as he has embraced that point of view and mentality when it comes to his debate shows.
That all said, thank you for sharing this Skip. Personally, I really enjoy hearing about his life and how he allows us a small peak behind the curtain.
Imagine all of the rich folk from Connecticut making a call behind the scenes to get their rich son a chance at the ESPN. Skip had the determination and willpower to make it past the people who had it easy.
Skip sucks
@@joeyyc8515 If you believe his story- he blatantly lied about his basketball prowess back in high school until some reporters in Oklahoma did some digging and found out he was the last player on the bench- the fallout from that was epic when Jalen Rose called him out for it on air- something tells me if someone did some digging this picture he paints would not be entirely accurate
You believe that Skip was a popular successful athlete of drew the envy of his siblings? No wonder he’s been able to stay on TV lying about athletes for so long 😂
@@sjaykay9884 Skip stays in shape because he would run miles every week
Man, Skip I'm truly saddened by this story. I pray that you and Rick can make amends and have a relationship. Tomorrow is not promised, should one you pass away, the other will not forgive yourself. Keeping you guys in prayer.
This is polar opposite from Shannon’s relationship with his brother. Makes me understand a little as to why he has his points of view. Respect for exposing this
This is so powerful and candid. Thank you for sharing.
This made me look at Skip in a very different way. Thanks for being. Human being Skip. ✨ it’s refreshing to see some realness from you. Makes me see you in a different light for the better.
Tremendous of him to share something so personal….and truly heartfelt ….reality can be a b.tch !!
Bro that's insane, I never knew these were brothers growing up in a Mexican household my aunt's would watch Rick who lives in Mexico and is a master at making authentic Mexican food. Never figured they were related. Wow
Always have been a Skip fan, but after this insightful glimpse of his personal life. I'm even a greater fan. Thanks for sharing Skip, you give hope to kids growing up in tough situations. God Bless....
Skip I felt this especially when you said you are proud of him!!! That touched my soul and I hope the two of you can connect!
Wow first I wanna say thank you for having the courage to share from your experience how you grew up .You have my respect. Thank you
Skip...this was REAL! I even like the fact that you accepted responsibility for leaving. I too know that pain and have definitely made things clear and have apologized. I would say that you should do what you can to build a bridge to your brother. It's just you two left. Make that right my man. Make that right as you can...while you can. 👊🏿💪🏿🖤🙏🏿
Relationships with siblings are complicated sometimes and I feel talking about it in a honest way is very therapeutic, better to be out there than carrying that around within you. At the end He is saying , He loves his brother, regardless of how different they are ❤
Not the first person to have an adversarial relationship with a sibling. Eventually you grow up and give the relationship another chance. And some people connect and some people don't. What you don't do is announce to the world how much you don't regard him as a brother.
Generally parents create the bridge to allow siblings to reconnect, but with the absence of the parents, you have to humble yourself and seek the relationship
@@nataliajimenez1870 This whole segment just seems extremely narcissistic.
It doesnt sound adversarial.
Skip just didnt really care about them, and it seemed a lot of that was related to them lacking utility.
I think he comes off terribly.
