Last Call | King of Queens Star Gary Valentine Joins Steve Azar in Mississippi

Musician Steve Azar and actor/comedian Gary Valentine join Jake Coker and Mick Gillispie at the Delta Soul Golf Tournament in Greenville, Mississippi, for a conversation full of comedy, music, Southern culture, and giving back. Gary Valentine shares the hilarious story of how his mother secretly signed him up for his first open mic night, launching a career that eventually led to stand-up success and his memorable role on The King of Queens. He also explains the story behind his stage name and why “Valentine” stuck. Steve Azar discusses the mission behind the Delta Soul Golf Tournament, which raises money to support arts programs for children in the Mississippi Delta, and how returning home to Greenville helped inspire a new creative chapter in his music career. The group also talks about Southern hospitality, the cultural power of the Mississippi Delta, returning home after years in entertainment, upcoming projects, and a special look at Pearl River Resort with Jake Coker and Steve Azar.

The Connor O'Gara Show EP. 1 | Texas Tech’s Brendan Sorsby Gambling Mess Just Got Worse

The debut episode of The Connor O’Gara Show is here on The Next Round digital platform, and Connor is joined by Lance Taylor — LT — for a loose, live Friday morning conversation on college football, gambling, wild personal stories and the start of a new weekly series. Connor and LT dive into the Brendan Sorsby gambling situation and why Texas Tech has found itself in the middle of a major PR storm. Is the school backing Sorsby because of loyalty — or because he represents a massive NIL investment? LT also opens up about his past as a college bookmaker, why he eventually walked away from the business, and how the modern NIL era has completely changed the conversation around college athletes and gambling. Plus, Connor and LT swap unbelievable run-ins with authority — from a college house party SWAT raid to LT being detained by the DEA after a Burger King parking lot drug deal gone wrong. The guys also hit on: 🏈 Dante Moore and CJ Carr as Heisman Trophy candidates 🏈 Miami’s Malachi Tony 🏈 Luke Fickell’s hot seat at Wisconsin 🏈 The new Friday format for The Connor O’Gara Show 🏈 Tattoo regrets, Curt Cignetti jokes and a wild hot dog-and-beer challenge for Tyler Johns Subscribe to The Next Round for more college football, SEC talk, gambling stories and live sports conversations all season long.
