STATE OF MIND with MAURICE BENARD: STEPHEN A. SMITH
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- This was an incredible State of Mind for many reasons. First, Stephen A. and I have a really deep connection, he's like a brother to me. We talk about Rihanna, Beyonce, sports, Daron Hammond and of course mental health. Stephen is raw and open about the loss of his brother and his dear mother. We enjoyed catching up on one of my favorites, boxing. Stephen A. is a straight shooter, always tells it like it is-from his heart.

Brick is the most natural, intriguing character on GH. The friendship between Sonny and Brick is real.
Love when Brick is on. Hope they give him more time but he is so busy, it would have to be difficult to fit it all in.❤️
Stephen A. is the EPITOME of eloquent. I could listen to this man talk about anything. So few people have that gift.
This is his best interview ever.
Thanks
Stephen is great on GH, He was has really blended well as an actor
Thanks
Thank you for reminding Maurice of his impact.
Maurice I am so glad to see Stephen again and thank you for state of mind.❤️👍
You are so welcome
Maurice thank you for state of mind.👍
Maurice, I was thrilled you squeezed that last question in. Love the Carly - Brick chemistry 🥰
This man Stephen A is a wise compassionate and decent human being who tells it like it is.He has .y deep admiration.Thank you Maurice.Can't wait for part 2.
I sure do enjoy Dtate of Mind Sonny's illness is undercontrol and there are many people need to be aware of State of Mind because many of God's children are suffering with being bipolar disorder and have killed theirs else not knowing there is help out there. Robert Williams took his own life this makes me so SAD must I go on and on about depression anxiety and bipolar State of Mind has brought on many people who are suffering it and now are getting it out God bless State of Mind it is saving lives yet we need it to be like AA or NA or ALonon these programs have saved many lives. Prayer Thank You God
I love that he's a General Hospital fan for 40 years and a Sonny fan. He is a natural actor. I am not into any sports so I only know him from GH and seeing him on The View.
Stephen is a good guy, Great conversation Maurice, Can't express how important this podcast is for me with mental health
Thanks
What a beautiful human Stephen is. A brilliant conversation between friends. Love him on ESPN and as Brick. Thank you Maurice for this wonderful State of Mind.
I can relate to everything Stephen Smith is sharing regarding loss. At 32 I lost 4 ( all of my family members) .I think of my mom often
Thanks
My man Brick is rocking the pink!! Luv it!!
Yes
I only know Steven A Smith only as Brick.
To listen to him talk about his mother….❤️🙏
Maurice, you are doing good things in this world and we are forever grateful.🙏❤️
I could listen to Maurice and Stephen A for hours. This conversation is amazing.
Stephen is excellent. Another actor from today’s episode who blew my mind was the actor who plays Spencer Cassidine. He’s still so young and is showing incredible strength. He scared the heck out of me in today’s scene!
I love Stephen A Smith as Brick! I know he is busy but I hope he has time to keep coming back.
I'm a dedicated fan and follower of you Maurice, I was diagnosed with Depression & Anxiety many years ago, It's a constant struggle just to get through a typical day.. I worry constantly about everything all the time I have OCD issues also... Thank you for all you do to support mental health awareness.. Love you!🤗
Thanks 🙏🏽

Maurice and Stephen together is so natural, the way you two converse is absolutely phenomenal. It is just like Sonny and Brick on GH, I just love the way you trust Brick and he always come through. I am a new viewer of State of Mind and I am so thankful I came across your show while surfing UA-cam. I have loved you as Sonny from the time my dear mother introduced me to GH so many many years ago, and now I love Maurice Bernard for all you do I had to take a break for awhile because of work but I found my way back and I am here to stay, but getting back to State of Mind, you are a God sent. I have learned so much during this short time I have been watching State Of Mind. All I can say now is, Thank you so very much for you do and all that you have helped get through their struggles. God Bless you Maurice Bernard.
Wonderful interview!! I thoroughly enjoyed this ..Stephen A is a great motivational speaker! Can’t wait for part 2.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was outstanding. 👏👏👏Great job.
Thank you so much!
This is so awesome. I have been watching General Hospital since 1978. Sonny and Brick have great chemistry. By the way Happy 60th Anniversary General Hospital. xoxo
That was a very good episode u really enjoy it
Thanks
He’s a busy actor, but I always thought he was underutilized as a character on GH that there should’ve been more of him and more of a storyline but as they say it is what it is. He is a fantastic wonderful man just as you are Maurice.
I don't follow ESPN--wow, I had no idea what Stephen did outside of acting. Seriously, he is so accomplished. What a conversation, and I love Brick as a character--he's so honest, and real in his performance.
Love him on GH and the way he falls all over Carly!!!
I know what book I'll be reading next! Great one, Maurice!
More great outlooks and points! Also I forgot to say my aunt is a fan of you!
He is fantastic love this ♥️🥰♥️🥰
Oh thank you!
Always thought that the character of "Brick" was a bit arrogant and was preparing myself for the actor who plays him to be the same way, I stand corrected. Stephen A. Smith is truly all you said he was at the intro of this episode. I am now a fan. :) PS? Congrats Mo for reaching 101, 000 subscribers. Well-deserved my friend.
Thanks
Gotta have Holyfield in there. Glad he mentioned Evander.
Maurice Sonny! I love you and happy birthday to you dear! May all of your days be happy as today! You are a gem!
Best and Deepest interview I have heard on this channel. Stephen A. aka Brick is the absolute best! I would love to read his book. When he is on GH it is really a great show!
Thanks
Great interview 👍 👏 👌 I LOVE them both♥️♥️
Glad you enjoyed it
I've been looking forward to this interview for a while. Best one so far!!
Mr. Steven A. Smith, thank you so much for doing this with Maurice! I truly enjoy you on General Hospital and Maurice as well! You guys work so well together! Thank you for sharing a piece of your life. God bless you both.
Wow!! Great interview. I just watched Maurice Benard in the Tamron Hall show this morning and he mention that he had this show on UA-cam. Please know that I have subscribed to your show. I watched General Hospital since the late 70’s-early 80’s and remember when the character Sonny Carintos joined the cast, so I’ve been a fan . I also remember Maurice Benard started being a spokesperson for Bipolar Disorder when there was no social media, and it was not largely understood. I respected him immensely for it too. Fast forward to 2023 and here We are. I didn’t know you were such good friends with these powerhouse greats. Thank you
Stephen A. Smith is an absolutely wonderful human being! Love his broadcasting experience, and he's an excellent actor in Brick! Kudos Maurice and Stephen A...felt the same way about 49ers...
Wow... just wow! Great talk, lots of truth and insight. Thank you!
what a wonderful interview - i love Steven A before but now have even more respect for him. Would love to see a part 2 with Steven A
Thanks so much for another great post, can't wait for part 2. Sending you a big hug!
You are so welcome!
Stephen A 👍
I love Brick with Sonny especially now that Jason is gone because Sonny needs him and his special connection with him. It flows through the screen.
never liked him in sports but love him on gh. now i understand the difference. a very different persona with you Maurice, thank you. thank you Stephen Brick.
I am so struggling right now, don’t know if I am going to make it. I have watched you for years and you have helped me so much. I have fallen and I can’t get up, please help.
Im so enjoying listening to him ! He’s so intelligent, love hearing him talk about boxing,. Back in the day i use to sit with my dad and watch boxing,. Lots happen since then,.. but anywho Love you Brick !
