The Podcast with Matt, Trevor and Taylor
They call it "The Podcast," but it's anything but basic. This is where three friends, Matt, Trevor, and Taylor, ditch the filter and dive headfirst into everything life throws their way. Whether it's dissecting the highs and lows (mostly lows) of being a Minnesota sports fan, arguing the merits of the perfect cup of coffee, or tackling the latest film or board game obsession, "The Podcast" is an honest, hilarious journey through their world. No topic is off-limits, and every episode is fueled by genuine conversation and the camaraderie only true friends can share. So, grab a drink (coffee or whiskey, your choice!), pull up a chair, and get ready to explore the weird, the wonderful, and everything in between - only the way Matt, Trevor, and Taylor can deliver it.
Episodes
In Episode 40, we dive deep into the high-stakes landscape of the 2026 Olympic Men’s Hockey Tournament, framing it as a pivotal "bridge tournament" for the sport. This event represents a massive collision of eras: legends like Crosby and Ovechkin are fighting to defend their legacy, while prime superstars like McDavid, Matthews, and Makar look to stake their claim as the new world order. Meanwhile, the next gen...
Buckle up, because we’ve reached the mountaintop! It’s Super Bowl season, and Episode 39 is diving headfirst into a matchup that literally nobody saw coming back in August. We’re breaking down how the 80-1 longshot Patriots and the 60-1 underdog Seahawks managed to flip the script and turn the NFL on its head.
But before we get to the gridiron, we’re cooling off with some Winter Olympics talk. From the precision of Cur...
The Dust Has Settled: 2025 NFL Season Wrap-Up & Playoff Preview
The 2025 NFL regular season is officially in the books, and it was nothing like we predicted. In this episode, we break down the absolute chaos of the final standings—from the 100% turnover of last year’s playoff teams to the "meaningless" nature of strength-of-schedule stats. We dive deep into the scar tissue left behind by abysmal quarterba...
Happy New Year! It’s officially 2026, the hangovers have faded, and we are staring down a Week 18 slate where legacies are made and bankrolls are broken. This is the final stretch of the regular season, and we’re breaking down a Week 17 recap that felt more like a video game than actual football.

The stockings are hung by the chimney with care, but the NFL playoff race is anything but peaceful. Week 17 has arrived, and we are unwrapping one of the wildest slates of the season. Join us as we dive into a Week 16 recap that felt more like a rollercoaster than a sleigh ride.

Welcome to the Diane Warren Awards—Where Greatness Doesn't Need a Trophy.
Why does the world insist on validating legends with shiny gold statues? If Diane Warren can write 16 Oscar-nominated hits and still get beat by the Prince of Egypt soundtrack, then the system is broken. In Episode 37, we’re fixing it. We are officially launching the Diane Warren Awards, a ceremony with no other nominees, designed to celebra...
We talk NBA quick but we all know the names on the back of the jerseys that sell for $150 at the team store. We know Mahomes, Baker, and Stafford. But football isn’t won in a vacuum—it’s won in the trenches, on the island of a boundary corner, and in the hands of a rookie tight end who refuses to play like a freshman.
In this episode, we’re looking past the Pro Bowlers to identify the 5 X-Factors who will ultimately de...
The stakes have reached a fever pitch as we head into the home stretch with only 12 survivors left in the pool. In this episode, we break down a chaotic Week 15 that saw the end of an era in Kansas City; the Chiefs have been eliminated from playoff contention for the first time in 11 years following a heartbreaking loss to the Chargers and a devastating ACL tear for Patrick Mahomes. Meanwhile, the Bills kept the AFC E...
Welcome to the aftermath of the Week 14 Massacre, which acted as the grim reaper for 25 entries—including our beloved Trevor—in the Survive This pool!

The Chicago Bear...
Your Thanksgiving Survivor Guide
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Before you carve the turkey, let's carve up the NFL season. We survived one of the wildest weeks yet, featuring the Largest Comeback in Cowboys History (we admit it, we turned that game off at 21-0!) and the Colts abandoning Jonathan Taylor in their BS loss to the "Satan-blessed" Chiefs. Plus, the Bills look lost after six sacks, ...
What in the 5-5 are the Chiefs doing?! Week 11 delivered a chaos cocktail: The Broncos finally exorcised their demons, beating the Chiefs in a game Patrick Mahomes wanted back. We’re breaking down the utter dominance of the Jaguars over the Chargers (81 passing yards for Herbert?!), the return of Sam Darnold, The Pumpkin, after four crucial interceptions, and the bizarre “SpitGate 2” incident that overshad...

Welcome to Week 10, where the NFL continues to be utterly nonsensical!

Get ready to cringe at Jordan Love's worst performance and Bryce Young&ap...
Welcome to the Island of Misfit Wins! (The Jets Actually Did It!)
The impossible has happened: the New York Jets are on the board! They somehow rolled up 502 yards of offense (254 on the ground!) and three 4th-quarter TDs for their first win of the season. Was it Justin Fields answering his owner's call, or just the Bengals being the Bengals?
Meanwhile, we have the official return of "Good Jordan Love," w...
The NFL Halloween Show
The NFL season is officially turning into a horror movie! We will talk about our favorite spooky movies but before the trick-or-treating begins next week, join the crew for our annual spooky spectacular as we hand out awards to the monsters, ghouls, and self-sabotaging survivors of the first half of the season.
We're going deep into the darkness, starting with the team that can't decide ...
The most historic comeback of the modern era just happened, and it was so painful for one man (and 1,602 previous records). We're breaking down the Broncos' 33-point Fourth Quarter Massacre that left the Giants—and potentially their season—in the dust. Plus, Jalen Hurts and the Eagles finally remembered how to throw a football against a top-tier Vikings pass defense, leaving us all asking: What the hell happ...

The 2025-2026 NBA season is finally here, and it's set to be the most chaotic and compelling in years! Defending champs, the Oklahoma City Thunder, are poised to own the latter half of the decade, but is their reign truly guaranteed, or will the revamped Houston Rockets and the newly loaded Nuggets squad—finally moving on from MPJ—find a way to topple the kings of the West?
Meanwhile, the East has b...

Grab your emergency broadcast kit, because Week 5 was a disaster movie for the favorites, and we're picking through the wreckage! We start with the absolute, unforgivable choke job by the Eagles, who lost a 17-3 fourth-quarter lead by forgetting they have a guy named Saquon Barkley. Is their identity completely fractured?
