    Nov 26 2025

    Two-time PGA TOUR winner and Florida Gators All-American Matt Every joins us for one of the most honest, hilarious, and insightful conversations we’ve ever had. We go deep into his journey—from battling elite teammates like the Véjaegas brothers and Billy Horschel in Gainesville, to grinding on Tour, to winning back-to-back Arnold Palmer Invitationals and celebrating with Arnie himself.

    We revisit Matt’s unforgettable run on The Big Break, the legendary caddie stories with Derek Mason, and the moments that still make players around the Tour laugh today. Matt also opens up about his admiration for Camilo Villegas, how that 2023 Bermuda win hit him emotionally, and why technology has changed the art of ball-striking for modern pros.

    We get inside Matt’s transition to TV, his Every Tuesday feature series, the origin of Live Forever Golf, and even his epic club-throwing days. For longtime golf fans, this one is packed with behind-the-scenes stories you simply won’t hear anywhere else.

  • Andy North! 2x US Open Champion on Golf’s Golden Age
    Nov 19 2025
    Andy North is not just a two time US Open champion and three time All American at Florida – he is a living bridge to golf’s golden age. In this episode, we sit down with Andy to relive what it was like to grow up in Wisconsin dreaming of Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer, then find himself paired with them in majors with everything on the line. We talk about the devastating knee condition that ended his football and basketball days and pushed him into golf, the back injury that almost kept him from his first PGA Tour win at Westchester, and the raw truth of what winning a US Open really feels like – more relief than joy. Andy walks us shot by shot through Cherry Hills in 1978 and Oakland Hills in 1985, from clutch bunker shots to TC Chen’s infamous double hit, and then into his second career alongside Chris Berman and Scott Van Pelt at ESPN. It is a masterclass in pressure, perspective and gratitude. If you love golf history, majors and real behind the scenes stories, this one is for you.

    We sit down with Casey Jacobsen, Stanford All-American, McDonald’s All-American, and Phoenix Suns first-round pick, for a real look at how careers are built. We revisit the letter-writing push that got him added to the McDonald’s Game, then the full-circle twist of wearing No. 23, scoring 23, and later handing Michael Jordan that jersey to sign. We go inside Jordan Flight School pickup runs where MJ talked trash and missed the fadeaway, Casey’s 49-point night against Arizona State, and the banked game-winner vs Duke. Casey opens up about redefining himself in the NBA, learning from Steve Nash, the trade that sent him to New Orleans, and the joy of becoming “the Stanford Casey” again in Europe.

  • Mark Reynolds! 13-Year MLB Vet on Travel Ball to the Big Leagues
    Oct 22 2025
    We sit down with Mark Reynolds — a 13-year MLB veteran with 298 career home runs — for a candid ride through the moments that still give fans goosebumps. We revisit the Virginia Beach superteam roots with David Wright, Ryan Zimmerman, and the Upton brothers; the late-night call-up to the D-backs and a debut that never looked back; and the surreal, cinematic first swing as a Yankee at Fenway. We go inside the pinstripes with Derek Jeter’s relentless standards, Mariano Rivera’s unanimous-worthy grace, and the clubhouse code only players see — from mound visits to secret defensive signs. Reynolds relives NLDS home runs vs the Cubs, the viral 10-RBI night in Washington, and a spring-training missile from Gary Sheffield that literally knocked off his glove. It is legacy, humor, and human detail in equal measure — the kind of behind-the-scenes baseball storytelling our audience loves. Tap in, and bring a friend who grew up on Bonds, Jeter, and October drama.

  • Mark Sweeney! Cape Cod HOF to MLB — Pinch-Hit Craft
    Oct 15 2025
    Mark Sweeney joins us with the kind of perspective you only get from 14 seasons in the big leagues, second all-time in career pinch hits, and 102 pinch-hit RBIs. We dive into his Cape Cod Baseball League roots alongside Jeff Bagwell and Frank Thomas, the call-up to St. Louis that put him in a clubhouse with Ozzie Smith and Willie McGee, and the calm genius of Tony Gwynn leading the 1998 Padres. Sweeney brings listeners onto the rail for Ozzy’s lessons, into the cage for Tony’s precision, and onto the grass for Barry Larkin’s live-ball infield rehearsals. He relives his first homer off Hideo Nomo, the Tino Martinez ball three moment in the World Series, and what it truly takes to thrive as a pinch hitter when the best closers in baseball are on the mound. If you love baseball history, preparation, and the human side of legendary teams, this one’s for you. Stick around to the end for rapid-fire stories that connect eras and icons.

  • J.T. Snow! 6x Gold Glover on Giants Legacy & the Human Side of Baseball
    Oct 8 2025

    J.T. Snow joins us for an all-timer of a conversation that blends baseball craft, World Series pressure, and a moment that became bigger than the game. A six-time Gold Glove first baseman with the Yankees, Angels, and Giants, Snow walks us through the 2002 World Series sequence that ended with him scooping up Darren Baker at home plate, then explains how that split-second decision looked and felt from 90 feet away. We also dig into his years alongside Barry Bonds, sharing how elite preparation, approach, and in-game adjustments shaped a clubhouse and a city. From growing up around the Rams with his father, Jack, to college days with future stars like Kenny Lofton, Snow’s stories pull back the curtain on the players, the pressure, and the tiny details that win innings. If you love baseball history, inside-the-dugout perspective, and legacy moments, this one is for you. Subscribe, rate, and share with your favorite Giants fan.
