Speedy Morman says he asked Stephen A. Smith “the most important question of his life” during their recently released 360 chat. This declaration, of course, is a jokingly presented one, as the moment in question focuses on why, exactly, Turkey should be high on Smith’s list of potential vacation locales.
After commending Smith in the interview as a “well-traveled man” who’s been fortunate enough to see a great deal of the globe, Morman asked “Have you considered a trip to Turkey?” Smith answered, stating that he hadn’t given it much thought but had been recommended the country in the past.
“I haven’t,” he said. “I haven’t thought about it. I should. I’ve been told Turkey, I’ve been told Russia, I’ve been told Israel, I’ve been told Istanbul, I’ve been told Croatia. Croatia’s been number one on everybody’s list. Every time somebody tells me where I need to go, they always mention Croatia.”
Speedy pressed deeper while still keeping it playful, telling Stephen that Turkey “for you, specifically” would be “a great place” to visit.
“Because?” Smith asked. “Because of what? The other Turkey thing my nephew Josh mentioned the other day? I don’t know. I don’t remember what the hell this is. I don’t know.”
Finally, the 360 host and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson life-changer made the inspiration behind the question clear.
“Turkey specializes in hair transplants,” he told Smith, who took the moment in stride.
“Oh, I got you,” he said. ”I don’t mind, you know what i’m saying, if it works. My girl’s not complaining. I’m living the good life. Last time I checked, before I had her, I was living a pretty good life. I’m good. And I don’t wanna offend anybody. I’m not anti-anything. I live my life. I let people live theirs. I’m a fiscal conservative, I’m a social liberal, but I don’t really give two shits about what a man thinks about how I look.”
For those unfamiliar, Turkey, it should be said, is indeed known for its hair transplant industry. Back in 2022, Akon spoke candidly about his own experience in Turkey, revealing that he spent $7,500 for a largely painless procedure. The only exception, he explained to Bootleg Kev at the time, was the initial numbing process, which he said “ain’t no joke.”
