Ep. 266 Scott Matthews & Tommy D

There's a certain madness that grips me every March, a fever that only college basketball can cause. It's the heart of our latest chat, where Tommy D & Scott Matthews get a warm shout-out before we plunge headfirst into the chaos of sports betting. We swap stories about our loyalty to teams that surprise us—for better or worse—and make fearless forecasts for clubs like the Texas Rangers and Cincinnati Reds. The prospect of baseball in Las Vegas has us buzzing, drawing comparisons to the city's warm reception of the NHL, and we share our take on the UFC's relentless march through the pandemic.


Remember when sports were benched, and we all turned our sleep schedules upside down to catch Korean baseball? Those days seem like a distant memory now, but they've left us with stories to tell—from Dana White's Fight Island escapades to the Kentucky Derby traditions that we've held dear. I open up about a Vegas mishap that would make any bettor's heart race: a tale of ambition, counterfeit tickets, and the high-profile fallout that follows such a gambit. As we navigate the trials of event planning and the value of trust, it's a reminder of the rollercoaster ride that comes with the territory.


As the industry morphs from its manual beginnings to a gold rush era, we're witnessing a surge in prop bets and micro-betting that's reshaping the gambling landscape. We also confront the hard truths that pros grapple with—a slight edge and the heavy toll of misjudgment. It's not all numbers and odds though; the rising tide of female influencers is reshaping the scene, with voices like Kelly in Vegas leading the charge. Closing out, we toast to the legends and lore of Las Vegas and tease the collaborative sparks that could ignite in upcoming seasons. Join us, it's a conversation you won't want to miss.

Ep. 263 Orin Julie - Byron Rodgers

Ep. 263 Orin Julie - Byron Rodgers

I once questioned the very fabric of strength and its existence beyond the physical realm until I met Byron Rogers and Orin Julie, who redefine the term through their military tales and personal growth. Their stories, from navigating the cultural intricacies of Israeli and American military communication to unmasking the myths of service in the IDF, paint a vivid picture of life in uniform. Orin, blending her femininity with tactical acumen, offers us a glimpse of the delicate balance within a realm predominated by masculinity. Her insights on the emotional dynamics in military relationships and the hard truths of trauma not only challenge our preconceptions but also inspire a deeper appreciation for the human spirit behind the soldier.


When the conversation turns to political divisions and the weight of trauma, it's not just another discussion—it's an exploration into the soul of conflict. We grapple with the stark realities of growing up under the threat of sirens and rockets in Israel, juxtaposed with the quest for normalcy. As Byron and Orin peel back the layers on the motives of governments and the distortion of war through the lens of propaganda, the listener is faced with the uncomfortable truth about the price of conflict. Beyond the battlefield, we reflect on the consumer-driven nature of society, particularly in healthcare, and the shift towards personalized care and natural remedies—a testament to the evolving landscape of well-being.


The final chapters of our journey are wrought with the raw emotion of overcoming personal trauma and discovering the healing power of forgiveness. The courage of our guests shines through as they recount the trials of their pasts, from childhood sexual abuse to the reclaiming of their identities through military service. These narratives transcend beyond just storytelling; they're a beacon of resilience and hope. As we close this chapter, we're reminded of the transformative potential of forgiveness, not only within our hearts but also as a force capable of mending the world's deep-seated divisions. Join us for an episode that promises not just insight but a profound connection with the indomitable human spirit.

Our chat took a more relaxing turn, geeking out over TV show obsessions like "Breaking Bad" and "Ozark," and even sharing a quirky anecdote about a private binge-watching escapade. We didn't shy away from the more permanent forms of expression either, musing over tattoos and the dynamics between our four-legged family members.
