Redshirt Culture
Oh hello there,
We’re Stefan and Tanner - two track athletes at the University of British Columbia who compete in the NAIA and have been sprinting for long distances together since 2016. We’re always talking sports whether in the classroom (remember when we were allowed in classrooms?) or at practice, and we want to bring our conversations to you. We’ll also be able to provide fun stories about our time as collegiate athletes recounting our travels to meets all across North America. Maybe we'll even touch on some topics in culture and lifestyle (this being said, we don't have much style).
We had our teammates Will & Liam on. There was a lot of talking with absolutely zero direction.
It's been a while but we are back. Tanner starts out the episode giving out weather facts about his hometown (0:45) and then move on to a potential jail sentence for TrueRGM (4:40). TrueRGM then talks about his thumb rehab and how his comeback story is going to be legendary (7:30) and Tanner gives his account of getting bloodwork done with an impatient fellow (11:11). Tanner made a big purchase and bought a treadmill because he's committed to the grind (17:40), and he also roped TrueRGM in to buy into another fantasy basketball league (25:40). We spend the rest of the episode talking about our two fantasy leagues, specifically looking at the good & bad team names from our friends (30:50).
After weeks and weeks of begging, we finally allowed our teammates Aiden and Riley on to the podcast...was it a good decision? Only time will tell.
After a long hiatus, the podcast is finally back. We get into the crazy last few weeks for TrueRGM as a result of the MLB playoffs, talk about our upcoming races, some Chase Claypool talk, and then finish with some more Lakers hate courtesy of Tanner.
In the Redshirt Culture Podcast's 16th episode, Tanner details his face plant on his run (0:36), TrueRGM throws gas left-handed (5:00), and Tanner is now a professional fisher (8:45). We then look back on our MLB wins pool draft (9:30), and TrueRGM mentions that this playoff format may force him into retirement (14:05). We then move on to talk about the Seahawks/Patriots game (16:30) using Redzone for the first time (20:30) before moving on to the NBA playoffs (23:26) where Tanner calls Anthony Davis a bum. After some Mason Plumlee & Heat/Celtics talk, we talk about our upcoming practice (38:09) and continue rambling for no reason.
In the Redshirt Culture Podcast's 15th episode, Tanner & Stefan banter about running & MLB's YouTube broadcast before moving on to Tanner's Portland Trail Blazers (5:10). We discuss the rest of of our predictions, specifically looking into the Lakers and Rockets series. The Miami Heat are a tough team so we got to ranking the teams you don't want to fight. We talked some Raptors/Celtics too...does Brad Stevens want to go back to college? This episode was all over the place, hope you enjoy.
In the Redshirt Culture Podcast's 14th episode, Tanner got a free boat this morning (1:20), and then we proceed with some technical difficulties with Tanner's internet. Stefan spent that time commentating the Blue Jays game. When Tanner figures it out, we talk some training and then move on to some basketball. We send off the Suns (10:00), talk about the play in game format (12:30), and TANNER'S PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS (13:30). We then talk about the opening games and predict the bracket (16:30). To cap off the episode, Stefan tries to explain unwritten rules to Tanner (50:00).

We then briefly talk baseball, focusing in on how the Jays make Stefan feel + some Fernando Tatis Jr. and Juan Soto talk. We finish off with our Bell Lap segment, looking at the other bubble (NHL), Alphonzo Davies, Blockbuster, and the college football landscape.
In the Redshirt Culture Podcast's 12th episode, Stefan and Tanner spend the first part of the show Tanner's gambling problem, how our training is going, and someone got run over in a canoe just outside Tanner's house.

Then we get to the meat and potatoes of the podcast, where we do a MLB Win Totals draft, where we each select 15 teams each with the goal of winning the most combined games by the end of the season (23:11). We finish off the episode with our one and only (and terrible) segment, Bell Lap, where we do an MLS Report and briefly talk about Mike Green's insane 2008-09 season.

In the Redshirt Culture Podcast's eighth episode, Stefan and Tanner discuss some team controversy caused by our fantasy basketball league, and then move on to previewing the NL & AL West. Tanner actually did research this time and he is clearly a very knowledgeable baseball fan at this point (sarcasm intended). We then move on to discuss some of the other news in the sporting world, including Emoni Bates, Cam Newton, our good friend Spencer Dinwiddie, and why it's important to respect the decisions of athletes who are going to sit out.
In the Redshirt Culture Podcast's seventh episode, Stefan and Tanner are joined by their very first guest, Talkin' Jake from Jomboy Media.
