In an engaging conversation about what success looks like, Clark acknowledged, 'If you don't win it all, you have failed because our job is to win every opportunity we get.' Crowder added 'things will happen, you have to understand that, you also have to be a strong believer in faith and a little understanding of patience.'

Later while discussing the feeling of playing on the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants, Burress complimented them as the 'pillars of this league,' while Clark weighed in, 'there's a reason Eli Manning and Michael Strahan are talked about the way they are.'

Taylor expressed, 'I never thought this would be what it is.' Clark concluded the conversation with appreciation, 'we've built something that during what I was going through [...] to have an outlet, to have a place to go to actually tell my story, if that's all The Pivot ever was for me, then it's enough.'

THE PIVOT, which launched in 2022, has grown into a platform for conversations across sports, entertainment and culture, and has been recognized as the No. 1 sports podcast on Apple Podcasts. During the taping, Clark reflected on the show's impact, saying it provided him an outlet to tell his own story.
