Send us a text Welcome back to the podcast, everyone! In this episode, we're diving deep into two wildly different but equally exciting topics: the culinary art of stuffed dishes and the thrilling 2025 NBA Finals. First up, join us for "Let's Talk About It: Shark Tank for Stuffed Dishes." We're celebrating the global phenomenon of stuffed foods, from the humble Hot Pocket to international delights like pierogies, samosas, and even the elegant chicken kiev. We brainstormed some truly revolutionary (and perhaps a little wild) ideas for the next great stuffed dish. Imagine a "Reverse Caramel Apple," where the sweet, gooey caramel is tucked inside the apple's core – no more sticky fingers! Or how about the "Rich Man's Tuna," a perfectly seared tuna steak stuffed with luxurious caviar, designed to maintain its exquisite texture and flavor? And for an appetizer that will literally blow your mind, we introduce the "Pizza Balloon," inflatable mozzarella balls filled with savory pizza sauce and toppings, served on a string like edible, cheesy balloons. Get ready for some culinary innovation and a few laughs! Then, we shift gears to the hardcourt for an in-depth preview of the 2025 NBA Finals, featuring the dominant Oklahoma City Thunder (-750 to win the series!) against the surprising Indiana Pacers. We break down the regular season performance of both teams, highlighting the Thunder's incredible 68-win season, their stifling defense, and efficient offense, along with their remarkable health luck. For the Pacers, we explore their impressive 50-win season, their fast-paced offense, and how they've defied expectations throughout the playoffs. We delve into the crucial question: How does each team win this series? For the Thunder, it's about maintaining their swarming defense, limiting turnovers, and ensuring balanced scoring beyond their "big three." We discuss why many are predicting a short series and how the Thunder's style mirrors the successful 2024 Celtics. For the Pacers, we examine their uncanny ability to win clutch games, their surprising consistency, and their potential advantage in three-point shooting against the Thunder's top-ranked defense. We also tackle some big-picture Finals questions: Whose career gets the biggest boost with an NBA title – SGA or Tyrese Haliburton? We analyze the stakes for both young superstars. And, of course, we identify the crucial X-factors for each team: for the Thunder, it's the defensive prowess of Lu Dort (or perhaps the rebounding of Isaiah Hartenstein), and for the Pacers, we surprisingly highlight the potential impact of Obi Toppin in a limited but critical role. Finally, we close out the show with some breaking NBA news, including the controversial firing of Tom Thibodeau from the Knicks, the implications for the team, and potential coaching candidates. We also touch upon the wild rumors swirling around star players. And just for fun, we've got a "Story Time" segment about Stephen A. Smith's surprising political aspirations and his controversial past comments. You won't want to miss it!…
Send us a text The Podcast Ep. 28 Pour One Out Fore! The Pups: Scheffler's Reign & Playoff Pain. Get ready for an episode that's more jam-packed than a stadium hot dog cart at the Masters! In Episode 28 of The Podcast, Matt, Trevor, and Taylor are serving up a double-header of sports analysis that'll make your head spin (in the best way, of course!). First up, we're bowing down to golf's reigning king, Scottie Scheffler ! From his 2024-2025 PGA Championship and Olympic Gold to his multiple PGA Tour Player of the Year titles, we're dissecting the man, the myth, the legend who seems to collect trophies like they're going out of style. Is he just built different, or does he have a secret stash of good luck charms? Tune in to find out! Then, we're diving headfirst into the NBA Conference Finals , and trust us, it's been a wild ride! We'll break down the Pacers vs. Knicks series, where Indiana's "actual basketball team" is proving that teamwork makes the dream work (and makes NBA history for Tyrese Haliburton!). Plus, we're asking the big questions: Can Rick Carlisle claim the title of best coach in the NBA? Is Tyrese Haliburton officially a Top 10 player? But wait, there's more! We're also dissecting the Timberwolves vs. Thunder showdown. Get ready for some honest talk about what went wrong for the Wolves, and why the Thunder's "Big 3" is a certified "death sentence" for their opponents. Is OKC on the brink of a dynasty, or are they just a one-hit-wonder? From championship golf to playoff basketball, this episode has it all! So grab your favorite beverage, settle in, and get ready for some serious sports talk with Matt, Trevor, and Taylor. You won't want to miss it!…
Send us a text The Minnesota boys, Matt and Trevor, are buzzing as their Timberwolves make a serious playoff push, showing flashes of brilliance that have them daring to dream! Meanwhile, Taylor's Boston Celtics are in a surprising cold spell from beyond the arc, leaving the fellas wondering if their championship aspirations are on thin ice. Before diving into the unpredictable playoff action, the crew debates the future of top prospect Cooper Flagg and which NBA team would be the best fit for his immense talent. They break down the lottery odds (minus the Wolves' nonexistent chances!), analyze potential landing spots like the Wizards and Jazz, and ponder if a blockbuster trade to OKC could create a dynasty. Then, it's all about the intense second-round matchups: Can the Timberwolves maintain their Jekyll-and-Hyde momentum against the Warriors? Are the Celtics and Cavaliers in serious trouble, down 0-2 despite being favorites? And is the Oklahoma City Thunder steamrolling the defending champion Nuggets? Plus, the age-old question: Do teams truly benefit from a Draymond Green-esque "villain" on their roster? Tune in for passionate takes, Minnesota pride, and Taylor's slightly nervous Celtics analysis!…
Send us a text In this week's cathartic episode of The Podcast with Matt, Trevor, and Taylor, the guys pull a basketball ISO play on the airwaves, demanding the lane clear so they can each take their turn driving to the hoop... of complaints. Forget about highlight-reel dunks; this is all about airing grievances in their signature "Clear the Lane" segment. Matt kicks things off with a passionate (and perhaps sleep-deprived, thanks to his insomniac-in-training son) rant about the perpetually disappointing Phoenix Suns. Bucking expectations, he bypasses his usual target, Charlotte, to dissect the Suns' baffling inability to even make the play-in tournament despite boasting two All-NBA caliber players and the league's highest payroll. He dives deep into their disastrous 7-13 finish, their porous defense, and the questionable management decisions that have left them in a state of disarray. Matt doesn't hold back, questioning coaching changes, player performances (especially Bradley Beal's hefty contract), and even suggesting a radical teardown of the roster. The conversation then shifts to a broader NBA landscape as the playoffs loom. Matt, Trevor, and Taylor break down the Eastern and Western Conference matchups, offering betting odds and their insights into who the true contenders, likely pretenders, and potential dark horses are. They analyze the strengths and weaknesses of teams like the Oklahoma City Thunder, Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks, Denver Nuggets, and more, offering their predictions for the postseason. Finally, the guys heat things up with their "NBA Hot Takes" segment, rated on the Buffalo Wild Wings sauce scale. From the mildest takes on the Detroit Pistons and the Washington "Baby Wizards" to medium-spicy predictions involving Kyrie Irving, Anthony Davis, and Zion Williamson, and finally, two scorching "Blazin'" takes that promise to be truly eyebrow-raising. Tune in for the unfiltered opinions and basketball banter you've come to expect!…

Taylor throws it down with love for basketball legends DWade and D-Rose , plus the electrifying football prowess of Vince Young . Matt steps up to the plate with his admiration for baseball phenom Stephen Strasburg and the unforgettable, seemingly unstoppable force of Cam Newton on the football field. Then, the guys break down the rollercoaster ride of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. They dissect the Duke vs. Houston Elite Eight nail-biter, where a stunning late Cougar rally edged out Duke, and recap the championship clash between Florida and Houston , highlighting the Gators' clutch execution (and Houston's late struggles). They'll share their raw reactions and key takeaways from the Final Four and Championship games. The conversation then shifts to the ever-evolving landscape of the transfer portal . They'll explore the potential pitfalls for athletes who enter the portal, questioning whether chasing immediate opportunities could actually hinder their long-term NIL potential and recognition. Get their takes on the massive activity in the portal, the implications of immediate eligibility for two-time transfers, and the strategic use of the "do not contact" option. Finally, Taylor Matt and Trevor tackle the hot-button issues of NIL and how the NCAA can potentially clean up the current system to resemble professional sports more closely. They'll delve into the complexities of contracts, buyouts for both players and coaches, penalties, and incentives. Matt will expand on his strong opinions regarding the hypocrisy of coaching salaries versus player compensation and the need for more regulation in the NIL era, echoing Trevor's sentiment about the NCAA's existing organizational challenges. Tune in for a passionate and insightful discussion on everything college sports, from unforgettable individual brilliance to the seismic shifts in player movement and compensation!…

Plus, who got the toughest and weakest regions? (Hint: The SEC is basically hosting a reunion tour.) We're even tackling the age-old question: How did North Carolina sneak in over West Virginia? And of course, Matt reveals his championship pick (hint: he's taking the field over the SEC and it's not Cooper Flag's). So, tune in for the chaos, the hot takes, and the sheer madness of it all.
