Also, The New Day (Level) sit down with Ariel Helwani, and FINALLY open up about their WWE exit, detailing how it all happened, what they were thinking, where they were the moment the call happened, and how they feel about it now being with AEW. They also discussed the Heel Turn on Big E, and what it meant to them to finally play that out on TV.

  • Response to Andy Foster interview with Ariel Helwani | Ep. 198
    Hey Not The Face! Podcast

    SUPPORT EXPANDING THE ALI ACT Today, we’re looking at the interview Ariel Helwani did with CSAC head, Andy Foster We dissect his answers, give some history of what the current iteration of the Ali Act does, the protections it offers, and how the proposed legislation changes or eliminates those protections. We also provide an important question we wish got asked (hopefully a future interview will see it to fruition). There’s more, so follow along with our outline as you listen: Episode 198 Outline * What was the reason Andy Foster gave for wanting to speak to Ariel Helwani and why do you think he really wanted to come on the show? * One of the reasons he said the bill is good and important is that it addresses 4, 6, and 8 round boxers. In what way does it address them and do you think that is a legitimate reason? * Foster heavily criticized the sanctioning orgs. What was his criticism and do you agree with him? * Foster repeated the talking point that the bill doesn’t change the Ali Act but instead offers alternatives that give the boxers the option of choosing a model they want. What is your view of this argument? * Foster also said that the other promoters and sanctioning orgs will not be impacted by the bill. Do you believe that? * Helwani brought up that the bill has prevented monopolization. Did Foster wave this off too easily? * Foster said he supported the UBOs having their own titles and ratings. Why do you disagree with this? * Foster said that boxing is the only sport that has its own separate rating organizations. Do you know if this is true and what is the problem he has with this? * Foster claimed it was a fairy tale or fable that boxers get paid more. Do you agree with him? * Did you believe Foster for why the date of their CSAC meeting was moved? * Helwani asked Foster if he might replace Marc Ratner, suggesting that might be the reason he supports it. Foster somewhat shot this down. Do you believe him, and why do you think he’s supporting the bill? * What questions do you wish Helwani asked? The Hey Not the Face!

  • Part II: NBA All-Star Reserves, more Trade Deadline Madness and Knicks Deep-Dive with Ariel Helwani | Kevin O'Connor Show
    Yahoo Sports NBA

    On this installment of The Kevin O'Connor Show, New York Knicks superfan and Yahoo's own Ariel Helwani stops by to demand RESPECT for his squad! Ariel is tired of national media — including TNT's "Inside the NBA" — disrespecting a Knicks team that has been rolling as of late. Ariel is sick of hearing the tired take that Coach Thibs plays his starters too many minutes. Helwani didn't stop there — he thinks Josh Hart is hooping like a "top 24 player" in the NBA! And that Jalen Brunson is the "pound-for-pound" #1 player in the NBA. And Karl-Anthony Towns gets some major love for his defense against Nikola Jokic — despite Draymond Green thinking otherwise on social media. Speaking of Dray's beef with KAT, Ariel explains why he wants to see the two of them duke it out in the octagon. And while we're at it, who would win in a real fight between Shaquille O'Neal and Dwight Howard? Don't miss Kevin's takes on the NBA All-Star Reserves and snubs. KOC thinks *5* players should have gotten in before Jaylen Brown (!), has thoughts on Trae Young's snub, and explains why the Kyrie Irving omission was so glaring. Houston Rockets fan and podcast personality Roosh Williams stops by on this episode for a deep dive on Clutch City, including his thoughts on Alperen Sengun making the All-Star reserves over Domantas Sabonis of the Sacramento Kings. Plus, could Houston be in the running for Kevin Durant sooner than we think?

  • The Man Who Changed My Life: Ariel Helwani Talks Creating Successful Content, What’s Next, and That Time I Spent $296 on Water

    I owe everything to Ariel Helwani . Without me asking, Ariel praised my work to ESPN executives when we used to walk the halls together. Then, he helped me land the producing job that gave me the safety net I needed to leave ESPN in early 2021. A few months later, he recommended me for my current role as his producer at Spotify, a fully remote job that’s allowed me to travel the world, produce impactful far-reaching podcasts for sports fans, and work with the people I love to work with at the top audio company in the world. Furthermore, Ariel generously agreed to write a blurb for the front cover of my book , another example to add to an incredibly long list of unnecessarily kind things he’s done for me since we started working together five years ago. When I began this podcast in 2020, I knew I wanted to ask Ariel to join when I was ready. That day has finally come. Ariel Helwani -- the top combat sports journalist in the world, one of the best interviewers in the media industry, and one of the most prolific content creators on planet Earth -- joins me for a wide-ranging conversation about his career, personal life, what he still has left to prove, our work together, and so much more: Opening montage (00:00) Why Ariel's main show, " The MMA Hour, " remains so popular after 10+ years (01:05) Ariel's very successful content creation strategy (07:00) Why Ariel wants to be more like ESPN's Pat McAfee (09:25) Whether Ariel doubted he'd ever find success (17:52) Why having kids "saved" Ariel's life (31:15) Why you should say yes...and then say no (35:40) How to network properly (42:07) Did Ariel get lucky? (48:15) The happiest moment of Ariel's career (54:23) An inside look at the unique relationship between Ariel and I -- which involves some stories about minimalism, how I got into MMA, and Fiji water (59:24) To support Ariel, give him a follow on Instagram @arielhelwani.

Business, grounding, being inspired by other people, and beard styles are also great highlights on this episode, so tune in! “I don’t necessarily love the term ‘cancel culture’. I think there should be repercussions and I think there should be accountability. I hate the idea of people actively trying to ruin people’s lives.” – Ariel Helwani In this episode of One Day we talk about: The do’s and dont’s of beard styles; The current status of our friendship; Ariel’s method of work and how he splits up his routine; Why inner peace and grounding can also be good for business; Social media is probably taking too much of your attention; Being inspired and influenced by other creators; Cancel culture and hate online should be cancelled; WWE and MMA; Episode Resources Visit GetNeuro.com and use code ONEDAY to save 15% off!
