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 Finals are finally here! In this episode, we deliver an absolute gauntlet of an NBA Finals preview between the defensive titan New York Knicks and the terrifying ascent of Victor Wembanyama’s San Antonio Spurs. First, we break down Shams Charania’s massive report on the NBA’s radical new "3-2-1" anti-tanking lottery rules. Is it actually enough to stop teams from racing to the bottom?

Then, we dive deep into the X-factors of the Finals:

Wemby’s World: Are we about to watch a crown placed on the alien's head?
The Mitchell Robinson Conundrum: Can he play bully-ball through a broken finger to save the Knicks' defense, or will KAT’s shocking postseason defensive transformation continue to carry the load?
Wing Stop vs. The Spurs Backcourt: How can Fox, Harper, and Castle survive the final boss of defensive wing trios in Anunoby, Hart, and Bridges?
The Minnesota Curse: If KAT wins it all, do we officially have to accept the "leave Minnesota, win a ring" prophecy? (And how Paul George might hold the key to resetting the sacred timeline).

To wrap things up, What Story Came Across Matt’s Desk makes its triumphant, exhausting return. Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy are sharing a QB room in OTAs, and to say the vibes are "high school classroom awkward" is a massive understatement. We might not survive a full season of this.
