On the podcast, Schmulenson shared glimpses of what he deems “Agenda Journalism.” During the discussion, he shared his perspective on Helwani’s reporting style, suggesting that there often seems to be an underlying agenda driving his content. Schmulenson remarked, “What I feel like with his style, there’s an agenda. Like there’s obviously something he wants to get out of it. He needs to make himself look good, and sometimes that falls at the expense of the athletes.”

He also addressed a recent incident involving UFC Champ ‘Sweet Dreams’ Jamahal Hill to support his remarks about Helwani.’ Further, ‘The Schmo’ spoke about Helwani’s alleged attempts to incite tension between Hill and Dana White, UFC’s president. 

While ‘The Schmo’ embraced personal milestones and dived into critical discussions, his journey underscores the evolving role of MMA journalists in shaping and elevating sports narratives.
