My friend @clintonyates has been having himself a week, month and year-you can hear it in his voice! Non stop, churning out incredible work on Mystics and Nats but this is my favorite stuff from him- again, you can hear it in his voice! Here he is on his first love and his town:
I’ve told this story before but here it is again: long before @aroundthehorn I knew @clintonyates. He reached out to me when he was at @miamiuniversity and I was Stat Boy on @pti-he wanted to know everything about @pti because @pti were HIS guys. I always love hearing from native
Washingtonians because they knew our show before even we knew our show, @MrTonySays and @RealMikeWilbon in the @washingtonpost and on George Michael and local radio etc. So of course, before Tony and Mike were my guys they were @clintonyates’ guys! Through him reaching out,
We started talking, I did weekly segments on his college radio show and he came to see a taping of @PTI or two- I remember it because @clintonyates didn’t just want to see it, he wanted to immerse himself in it, he treated it like it was a class.
(Note to self @AroundtheHorn and @pti MastersClass!!💰💰) So long story short: zero surprise that we are in the midst of a @clintonyates Takeover. His passion and focus and talent has always been jumping out of his Vans; to see it on the subject of his hometown -
Which means everything to him, is everything to all of us.
One last thing: I’ve said this to Clinton before, too: Through his time elsewhere, to local radio, to the Express, to the Washington freaking Post, to ESPN and @aroundthehorn with a guy he once sent a blind email to for

When he was in college for a what’s up-it might seem like it was fate. It was work, and then more work and more work, (see threads on Jim Vance, George Michael; WashPo for his local man on street during BLM, ESPN piece on Childish Gambino) and some real life moments, and the
industry catching up to him... so let me sit back and watch my friend hit bombs oppo taco as his hometown plays in the World Series and he gets choked up about it on one of his 23 consecutive days in a row on international tv.
