The Male Athlete Who Dominated the Men's Team Then Switched to Women's. Here Is What Happened.
Three college athletes came on this show and I am still thinking about this conversation. Maddie, MK and Lainey never asked for any of this. They went to college to compete, earn scholarships and build their futures. Instead they found themselves watching their sports be taken over by biological males, losing roster spots, losing medals and in some cases watching their coaches stay silent because

Michael Knowles Says the MAGA Coalition Is Still Worth Fighting For | Sage Steele Show | EP 105
Michael Knowles and I had one of the most wide-ranging conversations I have had on this show and it goes places I did not expect.

Why he believes the advice to throw out feminism entirely is the most practical marriage advice he has ever received.
Dr. Peter McCullough Names the Two Crimes He Believes Fauci Committed

We get into the $928 million that vanished from a solar panel program, the $24 billion in homeless spendi
David Pollack | Sage Steele Show | EP 102
I have known David Pollack for years. We worked together at ESPN, we have been friends through some of the hardest seasons of each other's lives, and I have always respected him deeply.

He was a first-round NFL Draft
The Doctor Told His Parents to Abort Him. He's Now Spoken to 11 Million People.
I have been looking forward to this conversation for a long time. Nick Vujicic is someone I had the privilege of getting to know first as a person before I ever sat across from him as a guest. And what you see in public is nothing compared to who he is behind the scenes. Nick was born in Australia in 1982 with no arms and no legs. Nobody knew until the moment of birth. The doctor's first words to
Jeff Dye Spent Years Hiding His Faith From the Comedy World — Until 2020 Changed Everything

Before Fox News, Kennedy Had to Fight Just to Talk About Politics
I sat down with Kennedy and this conversation went places I didn't expect. Before Fox News, before The Five — she was fighting to even be allowed to talk about politics. MTV put it in writing.

Brian Kilmeade Reveals the Truth About 90 Minutes Unfiltered With Trump

Levi's Former President Jen Sey: Exposing the Truth About "Woke Capitalism" | Sage Steele Show

Scott Presler on Flipping PA & the 2026 Mission | Sage Steele Show | EP 93
I have spent my career around world-class high-performers, but I don't know if I've ever met anyone with the sheer persistence and focus of Scott Presler.

We're talking about the psychology of grassroots activism, the
Duck Dynasty's "Big Dirty Secret": 34 Years of Marriage & The Price of Fame

"Being a Little Boy Is Now a Psychological Disorder" | Sage Steele Show | EP 90

When Your Own Community Turns on You ft. Hodgetwins | Sage Steele Show | EP 87
In this episode, I sit down with Hodgetwins, and I can honestly say this might be the most I've ever laughed on this show. Yes, we talk about real issues. Culture. Politics. Identity. Accountability.
