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 Podcast "Survive This" Week 17: Deck the Halls with Boughs of... Tyler Shough?
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.
On This Week’s Episode:
- The Jaguars’ "Disrespect" Narrative: Jacksonville went into Mile High and handled the Broncos, but we’re calling "Humbug" on their "Nobody Believes In Us" mantra. We break down why their #3 seed might be a product of a "gifted" schedule and a weak division rather than true dominance. Is this team a legit contender or just playing the role of a Christmas miracle?
- The Miracle on 12th Man Way: Was the Seahawks’ 16-point 4th-quarter comeback against the Rams the greatest Thursday Night game of all time? We analyze Stafford’s massive 457-yard night and why Puka Nacua is officially on everyone’s "Nice" list after a legendary 225-yard performance.
- A Bear-y Merry Saturday: Caleb Williams exorcised the demons of Green Bay, but the real story is the Packers' mounting injuries. With Jordan Love and Malik Willis both banged up, the NFC North looks like the Island of Misfit Toys.
- The Chiefs' Quarterback Crisis: The Titans struck again, leaving the Chiefs reeling and Gardner Minshew sidelined. We play "Secret Santa" and look at which veteran quarterbacks might be sitting on their couch right now waiting for a call from Kansas City.
- The Playoff Picture & Upset Alerts: With the current seedings locked in, we’re looking at the AFC and NFC brackets. Is anyone safe? We’re predicting as many as five road upsets in the opening round—find out which favorites are on thin ice.
- Quick Hits & Betting Tips: From Mike Tomlin’s historic 19th season of .500-or-better football to the Saints’ new savior, Tyler Shough (who might just be the best QB in New Orleans history?), we cover the winners, the losers, and the "stay-aways" for your holiday parlay.
Whether you’re traveling to see family or hiding in the garage for some peace and quiet, let us be your soundtrack to the biggest week of the year.
