Episode Synopsis

 This week on Let's Talk, Carl and Hollis welcome the "Football Queen" Lisa Otey to the show. Lisa, who co-hosted Carl’s first radio program and was a part of his afternoon show "The Drive," joins the duo for a dynamic discussion. The panel dives into youth football, the growing phenomenon of travel sports, and the evolving commitments from players and their families. They explore how these relationships have changed over time and relate them to LeBron James’ experience guiding his son Bronny to the NBA, where on opening night they became the first father-son duo to play on an NBA team. The conversation expands to discuss the increasing role and pressure parents face in navigating their children's athletic careers.
