Episode First Round Frenzy in the NBA and NHL…Draft Recap, MLB Quickhits and More | Full Episode 12 Cover

Beschreibung

The boys are back, starting off with the NBA Playoffs getting completely chaotic. We get into the Rockets looking like an absolute joke, the Nuggets somehow being a disappointment and still possibly surviving, the Thunder being impossible to watch, and why the Knicks’ entire ceiling may come down to KAT. We also hit the Magic, taking control against Detroit, Jalen Duren’s max-contract conversation looking insane in real time, Harden having another brutal playoff moment, and the Cavs looking like a complete mess. Then we get back into playoff hockey with Tampa-Montreal feeling like an all-time series, the Penguins fighting to stay alive, the Avalanche looking like a wagon, Dallas-Wild delivering, and the Senators learning the hard way that winning is never simple. Later we shift to the NFL Draft, where the Giants may have cooked, the Steelers left Rob cautiously optimistic, Drew Allar to Pittsburgh sparks a full Penn State debate, and the draft once again reminds everyone why watching these guys live out their dreams is one of the best events in sports. Plus, Coach JMIII details how the Knicks need to run the offense through KAT while Mitch, and Deuce need more minutes. Also, Matt and Alex Fitzpatrick give us an incredible Zurich Classic story, and the boys debut MLB Quick Hits. We wrap with About It, Not About It, and one of the wildest graphics you’ll ever see.

Episode Hovland Tops Scottie at the Travelers, NBA Moves, June 2026 & More | Full Episode 19 Cover

Hovland Tops Scottie at the Travelers, NBA Moves, June 2026 & More | Full Episode 19

The boys are back breaking down one of the wildest stretches in sports we've had in a long time. We start at the Travelers Championship, where Viktor Hovland took down Scottie Scheffler in a playoff and make the case for why the Travelers has become a top-5 event on the PGA Tour. We hit the latest World Cup storylines, react to a chaotic NBA offseason featuring Giannis landing in Miami, Mikal Bridges heading back to Phoenix, and LaMelo Ball potentially finding a new home in Minnesota. Plus, our thoughts on the NBA Draft and what it all means moving forward. Over in baseball, the Yankees are on the verge of getting swept by Boston, the Mets finally move on from Carlos Mendoza, and we discuss why Major League Baseball has felt completely upside down the last two seasons. We also dive into Alex Fitzpatrick's incredible rise, James explains why June 2026 might be the greatest sports month ever, hand out our About It/Not About It awards, choose an Ilia punishment from the comments, and close things out with some classic Random Thoughts of the Week—including the ultimate hygiene debate, reacting to listener comments, and James' Love Island hot take. As always, no hot takes, just real ones.

WE'RE BACK! Knicks Run the NBA, Giannis Trade Chaos & Italy Takes | Full Episode 18

After a little hiatus, WE'RE BACK and we've got a lot to catch up on. The guys dive into the Knicks' championship run and what it means for the Mecca of Basketball, while James ranks the last eight NBA champions and sparks plenty of debate. We break down the latest NBA Draft storylines, Giannis trade rumors heating up before draft night, and whether Miami or Boston could actually pull off a blockbuster move. Plus, Dusty May's surprising connection to the Mavericks, Wyndham Clark's US Open victory, and why the golf world should be thankful Scottie Scheffler hasn't unlocked elite putting yet. We also hit some MLB Quick Hits, including the Mets' struggles and the emergence of Cam Schlittler. Rob recaps his trip to Italy, we bring back About It/Not About It, and finish with Random Thoughts of the Week featuring streaming service frustrations and a debate that might end relationships: if your girl accepts another man's jacket while waiting in line, is that cheating? As always, No Hot Takes. Just Real Ones.

Episode BASKETBALL WAS SAVED, the Finals & Stanley Cup are set, SGA Exposed & Champs League | Full Episode 17 Cover

BASKETBALL WAS SAVED, the Finals & Stanley Cup are set, SGA Exposed & Champs League | Full Episode 17

The NBA Finals are officially set, and somehow the basketball gods gave us exactly what they wanted: Knicks vs. Spurs, a rematch of the 1999 NBA Finals and the NBA Cup Final all rolled into one. This week, we break down how New York finally punched its ticket back to the Finals for the first time in 27 years, whether Jalen Brunson is already the greatest Knick of all time, and what the Knicks need to do to bring a championship back to Madison Square Garden. On the other side, the Spurs survived a seven-game war with Oklahoma City as Victor Wembanyama and San Antonio continue one of the most improbable runs in recent memory. We discuss SGA's shocking drop-off after winning MVP, Chet Holmgren becoming public enemy number one on the show, and whether the NBA Cup suddenly carries more legitimacy now that its two finalists are meeting again on basketball's biggest stage. Beyond the hardwood, we react to Arsenal's heartbreaking Champions League collapse, preview a Stanley Cup Final showdown between Vegas and Carolina, debate the best ballpark experience in baseball, discuss MLB's proposed salary cap battle that could change the sport forever, and laugh at the Yankees scoring 13 runs in one inning before completely forgetting how to score again. Plus, Luke Kornet earns an "About It," Daryl Morey lands in "Not About It," we spotlight French Open breakout star Moise Kouamé, and wrap things up with random thoughts on horror movies and hotel smells.

Knicks on the verge of a FINALS…WCF tied up at 2, Vegas in Command and More | Full Episode 16

The boys are back sitting on clouds in ORANGE and BLUE SKIES as we start with the Knicks going up 3-0 and staring down their first Finals appearance since ’99. We get into why this team is firing on all cylinders right now, whether Jalen Brunson is already the greatest Knick ever, and what happens to this core if New York comes up short. From there, we shift to Spurs-Thunder being tied 2-2 after San Antonio’s dominant Game 4 win, why OKC can be such a brutal watch despite having so much talent, and how the foul-baiting keeps getting in the way of a team that should not need it. Then we move to the NHL, where the Avalanche are shockingly down 3-0 and the Canadiens have once again found themselves in an absolute battle of a series. Later, MLB Quick Hits turns into full Yankees frustration, Aaron Judge carrying an entire offense, Jacob’s Mets take aging terribly after getting swept by the Marlins, and the long list of disappointing AL teams. Plus Arsenal finally winning the Premier League after 22 years and some Knicks-Arsenal similarities, before getting into our About It/Not About It of the week. We wrap it up with a Would You Rather on brutal even-par golf versus a birdie-fest and Champions League Final predictions. Thanks for tuning in!

NBA Playoffs, Drake’s ICEMAN Takeover, The PGA and Our First Clubhouse Call-In | Full Episode 15

The boys are back with one of the most loaded episodes yet as we break down the NBA Playoffs including the Pistons completely disappearing in Game 7, why Spurs vs Thunder is about to feed families for years to come, and who the Knicks should actually want next. We also get into playoff role players getting cardio minutes, teams folding under pressure, and the overall chaos of postseason basketball right now. Then we shift over to the PGA Championship where Aaron Rai captured his first major in dramatic fashion after one of the craziest weekends the tournament has ever seen, including a packed leaderboard, brutal course setup, and an absurd 68-foot putt that completely blew the roof off the event. We also dive into Drake’s ICEMAN era after dropping three new projects, why people are confusing first impressions with actual reviews, and whether Drake gets held to completely different standards than every other artist in music. The second half of the episode features the FIRST EVER Hillside Clubhouse Call-In segment as huge Yankees and Mets fan Jacob joins the show to break down the Subway Series, the Mets potentially turning their season around, and whether the Yankees’ yearly June swoon might already be arriving early. Plus NHL playoff reactions, MLB Quick Hits, Bryson DeChambeau struggles, Conor McGregor officially returning to the UFC after five years away, and much more.
