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.

The 'Beadle & Decker' co-host held nothing back in her first off-air interview after learning Stephen A. Smith was taking over her time slot on Mad Dog Radio on SiriusXM.

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.
