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.

The NBA Preview

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 become an absolute war zone. With devastating Achilles injuries sidelining Jayson Tatum and Tyrese Haliburton at the start, the conference is wide open. Who steps into the power vacuum? Will the new-look, defensive-minded Atlanta Hawks—featuring a hidden Trae Young thanks to Kristaps Porzingis—vault into a top-three seed? Can the Cavs and the Mike Brown-led Knicks finally break through? And are Giannis and the Bucks' Myles Turner heist enough to overcome Doc Rivers' legendary bad luck?

We're diving deep into the season's biggest headaches and triumphs:

The Kawhi Conundrum: The infamous Kawhi Leonard Saga is hanging over the Clippers like a dark cloud. We break down the Aspiration investigation, the pending punishment, and how confident you should be in their championship window.
Mavs’ Miracle: Dallas accidentally landed generational talent Cooper Flagg after the seismic Luka trade! With a healthy Kyrie Irving, Anthony Davis, and a rich PJ Washington, can the Mavs go from draft lottery gods to playoff contenders, or will D'Angelo Russell find a way to spoil the party?
Zion's Transformation: We have to talk about "Ozempic Zion!" Is this ultra-skinny version of Williamson finally ready to lead the Pelicans to glory?
Over/Unders Madness: We cap it all off by putting our money where our mouths are! From a 62.5 win total for the Thunder to a frisky 45.5 for the new-era Pistons, we hit every major team's O/U.

It's time to talk about who's hoisting the trophy and whose season is doomed before Christmas. Strap in, the NBA is back!
