PGA Best Bets So Good They Should Be Illegal with Danny Burke | Stephie Smalls Show (Ep 240)

Stephie Smalls is back for Golf Tuesday on the Stephie Smalls Show, joined by Danny Burke from Betting News for a full Charles Schwab Challenge betting preview. Danny enters the show hot after hitting Wyndham Clark at 61 to 1, so naturally everyone is being extremely normal and responsible about chasing another golf winner. Very chill. Very adult. Stephie and Danny break down what matters most at Colonial, including accuracy off the tee, good drive percentage, mid-iron play, bentgrass putting, bogey avoidance, and why this course rewards golfers who can survive a positional, par 70 setup instead of just smashing driver like they’re mad at their dad. The episode starts with a Wyndham Clark recap and a look at how the Scottie Scheffler tax affected last week’s odds before moving into this week’s best bets. The crew discusses Rickie Fowler as a top 30, top 20, and outright option, plus Alex Smalley, Michael Kim, Keith Mitchell, Pearson Coody, Akshay Bhatia, Christian Bezuidenhout, Tony Finau, Sam Ryder, Hideki Matsuyama, Austin Eckroat, Ryo Hisatsune, Keegan Bradley, Victor Perez, Corey Conners, and Collin Morikawa. Danny gives out several outright and placement bets, including Bhatia, Smalley, Hideki, Ryo Hisatsune, and a very disgusting Keegan Bradley sprinkle that may or may not require spiritual counseling. Stephie also shares her favorite top finish bets and first-round angles, including Tony Finau top 20 after Round 1. If you’re betting the Charles Schwab Challenge, looking for PGA Tour longshots, top 20 bets, top 30 bets, first-round leader angles, or Colonial course-fit plays, this episode has the full card. The transcript specifically centers on Danny Burke’s appearance, Rickie Fowler discussion, Smalley/Coody/Bhatia bets, Hideki/Ryo/Keegan longshots, and US Open futures talk.

Ask Smalls Anything Ep 12: NBA Smells, Giants & Guinness | Stephie Smalls Show (Ep 239)

It’s a special edition of Ask Smalls Anything Episode 12 on the Stephie Smalls Show, part of the Sports Gambling Podcast Network, with Stephie Smalls and comedian/Emmy-winning producer Ryan McKee answering listener questions, going wildly off-road, and somehow making NBA hygiene, New York Giants rumors, movie theater popcorn buckets and Guinness all feel like part of the same emotional ecosystem. This episode kicks off with Stephie and Ryan thanking listeners for sending in the most questions they’ve ever received, then confirming that Ask Smalls Anything is now a Spotify-only video and audio show. Ryan also debuts new sound drops, because nothing says professional sports podcast like threatening to vomit on someone’s face. The questions cover which NBA Conference Finals player looks like he smells the worst, whether OBJ could return to the Giants, why the Giants wide receiver room might secretly be interesting, and whether John Harbaugh winning Coach of the Year is more likely than Jaxson Dart winning MVP. Stephie also discovers the strange Danhausen Knicks curse story, explains why fake aunts and uncles are weird, and demands that people remove their Christmas reindeer noses from their cars by late May. Ryan McKee is an Emmy-winning writer, producer and comedian whose credits include The Late Late Show with James Corden, the Emmy-winning Snapchat series James Corden’s Next James Corden, MTV’s Guy Code, Girl Code, and the Sports Gambling Podcast Network. He also brings a rant about his Gen Z roommate, who may not actually be a roommate so much as a vape ghost who occasionally Venmos rent. The episode wraps with bad texting habits, creepy voicemails, nonalcoholic Guinness, Shed Picks nostalgia and the eternal truth that Guinness is not just a winter drink.
