The Real Ones is a new digital-first media universe created by Tony Reali, longtime host of ESPN’s Around the Horn and Pardon the Interruption.
Built on authenticity, joy, and community, The Real Ones blends sports, family, and life into a new kind of storytelling: highlights that hit the heart, fan voices at the center, and shows that move faster and smarter than legacy TV or podcasts.
Our mission is to build a home where sports meets life, where fans are producers, and where being a Real One means belonging to something bigger. Starting with YouTube-first shows, social-first content, and live fan engagement, The Real Ones is creating a scalable media universe that’s equal parts fun, feels, and future.
