We are finally back from our break! Brad kicks things off with a recap of his Gay Games experience. We run through all the chaotic happenings of the NBA off-season, including the one thing we really don't care about: where LeBron is playing next season (we assume Cleveland, but seriously, whatever). We also pivot to soccer to absolutely drag the USA for their awful World Cup performance and break down the much bigger, systemic problem with youth sports in America. Plus, we're getting hyped to see Adam Lambert tear it up at the Brooklyn Paramount tomorrow night.
We dedicated the entire hour to the impossible: the New York Knicks actually won the NBA Championship. We break down exactly what this historic, 53-years-in-the-making title means for the city, map out our chaotic plans for the victory parade, and debate where Jalen Brunson officially ranks among the greatest New York sports athletes of all time. Plus, we take a moment to look at the other side and discuss what this series means for Victor Wembanyama going forward. No other topics, no detours—this episode is 100% pure Knicks euphoria.
We break down the first three games of the NBA Finals, and honestly, the vibes couldn't be more different: Brad is surprisingly not nervous about the Knicks, while Vince is just kicking back and enjoying the ride. We also review the dirty plays from Game Three before Vince formally "comes out" as a Formula One fan to drop his unsolicited thoughts on various drivers. To round it out, we check in on the French Open, sprinkle in a little World Cup chatter, and let Brad give his completely unfiltered review of the Tony Awards.
Brad is absolutely losing his mind because the Knicks are officially in the NBA Finals against the Spurs, and the delusion is so contagious that Vince has actually promised to attend the victory parade if they pull it off. We preview the matchup, complain about the horrifying MSG ticket prices, and break down what a ring means for both of these franchises. We also try to figure out what the hell happened to the OKC Thunder when they collapsed in the Western Conference Finals. To wrap things up, we check in on the clay courts at the French Open and start plotting our outing to see the Brooklyn Cyclones.
Brad and Vince finally deliver their review of the long-awaited Peter Luger's dinner, and we’re already plotting where our Hot QB money will take us next year. Michael drops in to help us sort through the NBA playoff wreckage and figure out what the hell Denver, Boston, and Minnesota need to do next. We also place our bets on where LeBron is taking his talents next season, and start getting ready for the 2026 World Cup Final coming right to our backyard at MetLife Stadium.
We’re finally heading to Peter Luger’s to spend all the money Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, and Bo Nix made for us this season. The Knicks swept the Sixers, and we’re debating if it’s a New York miracle, a Philly embarrassment, or a really bad look for the Celtics...plus, a rare moment where Vince actually gives the Knicks some credit. We try to figure out where LeBron will go next and wrap things up with Brad’s thoughts on the Tony Award nominations.
Tyler joins the pod and triggers Vince by reviving the never-ending LeBron versus Jordan GOAT debate. Once they finally stop debating each other, they team up to completely humble Brad and his delusional takes on Jalen Brunson’s actual status among current NBA greats. We also check in on the tennis greats, desperately try to figure out what the hell Boston does next after that catastrophic playoff loss, and let Vince recap his recent trip to Austin.
We’re celebrating six years of doing this podcast...and our long-awaited Peter Luger's reservation! Before we get to the meat, we break down the Denver Nuggets' panic...is their championship window officially slamming shut, and are they actually going to claw back from a 3-1 deficit against the Timberwolves? We also unpack the shockingly tight first-round matchups in the East and stir the pot in Boston by asking the real question: could Jayson Tatum actually do what Jaylen Brown did this season?
Charley dials in to help us process the disastrous Mets losing streak and take a miserable walk down memory lane, rehashing the franchise's long history of massive mistakes. We pivot to the NBA playoffs to overreact to Game 1, officially diagnosing who should and shouldn't be panicking already, and debate whether any franchise will actually claim Kevin Durant and retire his jersey. To top it all off, we vent our absolute frustration at ESPN for completely losing its mind and shoving endless WWE coverage down our throats.
Tom dials in to help us process the NBA playoffs, and honestly, he and Brad are already miserable about the Knicks having to suffer through a first-round matchup against the Hawks. We look out West to see if anyone besides OKC or San Antonio actually has a shot, and we happily plan the offseason arrangements for the Warriors and the Lakers. After a quick look back at the college basketball championships, we pivot to the culture: Brad gives a laugh-out-loud review of the indie movie Griffin in Summer, and we recount our group outing to see the Celine Dion fever dream that is Titanique.
We break down Braylon Mullin's epic shot to send UConn to the Final Four, debate its historical legacy, and tackle the most pressing question in college hoops: Is Dan Hurley actually just a massive douche? Naturally, we also have to roll our eyes at yet another exhausting Duke saga and absolutely drag the shameless garbage fire that is NBA tanking. To wrap up the chaos, Brad unleashes a rant about baseball’s new ABS robot umpires.
Sam graces us with his presence this week after watching the Oscars at the exact same theater as Zohran Mamdani. Back on the court, we break down the looming NBA playoffs and diagnose the panic levels for the Knicks and Lakers heading into the final stretch. Of course, a full breakdown of men's college basketball. And because no episode is complete without some completely unprovoked NFL slander, Vince continues his exhausting and relentless campaign of throwing pure hate at Mike Tomlin.
Patrick makes his debut on the pod to break down the state of the NBA and defend his favorite teams, but we get derailed investigating the true magnitude of LaVar Ball's... package. Meanwhile, Vince is on a crusade demanding that Erik Spoelstra be fired. We also pivot to the women's game to discuss the Unrivaled league, and we wrap up by unpacking the camp and chaos of The Traitors Season 4.
We try to care about the NBA All-Star Game, but let's be real: it's poorly envisioned, completely boring, and we are officially over it. We pivot to the Winter Olympics, which we aren't really watching because there are no big names and we don't even know what the marquee event is, though our hearts do break for poor Lindsey Vonn's comeback crash. Brad brings us back to football for another Super Bowl recap, doubling down on his belief that the Patriots are in serious, serious trouble after that loss. To end on a high note, we wrap up the show by preparing for our highly anticipated Hot QB victory dinner at Peter Luger's.
We recap the Super Bowl, featuring two mediocre teams in a bad game...honestly, the best part was Bad Bunny’s halftime show pissing off MAGA. We pivot to real winners: Carlos Alcaraz’s dominance at the Australian Open and our review of The Outsiders on Broadway. Vince gives his take on Heated Rivalry, we run through the NBA midseason, and Brad struggles to remember names again.
We recap the NFL playoffs and the coaching carousel, but mostly we focus on Josh Allen's troubles and Justin Herbert’s allergy to winning big games. Brad also tries to process the trauma of the Patriots being just one win away from another Super Bowl, on top of the Knicks being officially a mess. So, he's distracting himself by looking ahead to seeing The Outsiders on Broadway this Thursday.
First show of the new year! We’re officially retiring the Hot QB bets because Week 18 is a disaster of backup players, but we made enough cash to plan a victory dinner at Peter Luger's. We admit we might have been wrong about the NBA East (it's actually good?), while the West—and specifically the Lakers—may be a total flop. Naturally, this leads to another round of bashing Anthony Davis. Plus, Vince shares his "culinary" experience at Texas Roadhouse.
Tom returns, and he and Brad are "hyped" about the Knicks making the NBA Cup Finals and what it actually means for the franchise. We look west to see whether the Lakers are still relevant and whether the Thunder are actually going to make history this season. Vince tries to rebrand our betting strategy from Hot QBs to "Hot Tight Ends" (because of course he does), and we gloat about the massive wins we scored making picks on the dance floor Saturday night. Plus, we learn about the gay hockey romance genre.
We review this week's hot QB picks, and it's getting suspicious—is Brad actually reading Vince's mind to figure out who he thinks is hot? We talk about the wild parity in the NFL and why nobody knows who is actually good. In the NBA, we ask the big question: Is there a single team that can actually beat the OKC Thunder? Plus, Brad gives us his recap of the immersive Masquerade.
Stu stops by to give his unfiltered take on the Warriors' season so far and joins us for another round of our foolproof hot QB picks. We discuss our anxiety over Wembanyama's injury troubles and try to figure out which timeline we’re living in, where the Pistons are 12-2 and leading the East. To wrap things up, we get meta and spill the tea on our favorite (and least favorite) podcasters.
Tom and Aaron join us this week, so Tom is back to give us his hot QB picks for next week. We grade the historic Jets trade - was the massive fire sale a smart tank or just typical Jets? Naturally, we're already looking ahead to the NFL draft (as is tradition). We also get into some NBA talk, which serves as our weekly reminder that the Luka trade remains one of the worst trades in the history of trades. Plus, Brad gives a little history lesson on the Jets' doomed West Side stadium project that never was.
Vince recaps his trip to Minnesota. We get the full rundown on his Midwestern adventure. Our sacred mission of betting on hot quarterbacks continues to line our pockets, and we’re not sorry about it. We also get into the first few days of the NBA season, which is really just The Wembanyama Show (and we're obsessed). To cap it off, Brad offers his theatre reviews, so get ready to hear what he hated.
Michael joins us to discuss the upcoming NBA season, and we cover all the bases: Kawhi's troubles, the debut of Ozempic Luka, and why the East is looking so weak. Of course, our brilliant investment strategy of betting on hot quarterbacks continues to make us money. We also take a moment to give a much-deserved salute to the gay icon, Jane Pauley.
Tom joins the show to help us mourn the terrible Jets season and look forward to the upcoming Knicks season. Our highly scientific method of betting on the hotter quarterback continues to pay off, proving that swagger equals wins. To top it all off, Vince recaps his run-in with Orlando Magic's Mo Wagner.
Drew calls in, and Bobby joins us in the "studio" to recap their recent trip to visit Drew down in Austin. After the trip talk, we get into some heated NBA discussion, debating ESPN's top player list and Drew's surprisingly tempered expectations for the Mavericks. Finally, we tackle the two most important topics of the week: the Giants starting Jaxson Dart and the premiere of a new season of The Great British Bake-off.
Special guest Gil calls in to share his early-season NFL takes and help us pass judgment on Joe Burrow's questionable fashion choices. Brad is in a classic New York sports mood, ranting about the miserable Jets and the equally disappointing Yankees. To balance the misery, we get excited about the Knicks' savvy veteran signings and celebrate Vince's return to the PBLNYC courts!
Is men's tennis officially just the Sinner and Alcaraz show now? We break down their epic U.S. Open final and wonder if any other man is capable of winning a Grand Slam in the near future. Then, we return to our highly scientific NFL picking method based on one simple metric: which quarterback is hotter. We also attempt to solve the ongoing mystery of Kawhi Leonard and debate whether the Giants should just blow it all up at the QB position.
We’re back after a summer break!
