ESPN’s Joe Fortenbaugh, who co-hosts “Carlin vs. Joe” weekdays from 12-3 p.m. ET on ESPN Radio, called out Stephen A. Smith on Thursday over his new show that will now compete in that time slot in a back-and-forth that alternated between joking and serious tones.

I don’t respect him. I don’t respect his work. He doesn’t like me,’ Michelle Beadle said about Stephen A. Smith earlier this week. ‘I think he gets things wrong all the time’

The split follows comments from Beadle that were critical of Stephen A. Smith, who is set to debut two shows on the platform this year.
