The Glue Guy Podcast

NBA Conference Finals, Survivor 50 Awards, and NBA Expansion

Wed, 27 May 2026 10:00:00 -0600

Episode 8. Knicks are in the Finals for the first time since 1999, and it wasn't close. Cole, Ethan, and Cannon break down the sweep, make the case against giving Harden another dollar, and look ahead to what a healthy, rested New York team means for whoever comes out of the West. Then — Wemby's tired, the Thunder lead 3-2, and the flopping numbers are worse than you think.

Survivor 50 is in the books. We hand out the season awards — best blunder, best strategic move, funniest moment — and debate whether Aubrey deserved it or Jonathan got robbed.

Xavier, Bill, Cannon, and Michael close things out with a full breakdown of NBA expansion and what the league should actually do about it.

Wemby, Bad Blood, and Iron Covers

Tue, 19 May 2026 09:00:00 -0600

Game one of the Spurs-Thunder Western Conference Finals just happened, Michael and Cole join right after the buzzer to react to Wemby's performance, the Chet rivalry, and what a 62-win clash means historically. Then Kirby and McKay break down Aaron Rai's PGA Championship win — iron covers, two gloves, and all — and why golf has a rooting-for-strangers problem. We close with the roundtable: of the four teams playoff teams left, whose exit would sting the most?

The Lottery, the Ejection, and the Tank Debate

Tue, 12 May 2026 09:00:00 -0600

Wemby gets tossed in a playoff game. The Jazz land the number two pick. The Pacers tank all year and walk away with nothing. Cannon and Cole break down the ejection, where Anthony Edwards fits in the top five conversation, and whether the Thunder are just built different. Then Cannon, Michael, and Bill get into the real question — is tanking a problem, or is everyone just playing the game they were given? Plus, the PGA Championship kicks off Thursday and Jordan Spieth is one major away from the Grand Slam.

Comebacks, and the Five-Man Question

Tue, 05 May 2026 20:59:24 -0600

The first round gave us a 3-1 comeback against the Celtics, the Pistons ending an 18-year drought, and the Wolves advancing without Ant. Now the real questions start. Cannon and a roundtable break down where Jalen Brown, Jalen Brunson, Donovan Mitchell, Devin Booker, and Jamal Murray actually stand — who can win a title, who's already peaked, and which of these guys has any shot at the top 30 conversation.

NBA Playoffs Chaos, NFL Draft Reactions, and The Franchise Player Debate"

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 08:30:21 -0600

Eight days into the NBA playoffs and chaos is already here. Ant's hurt, Orlando is threatening an upset, and LeBron is doing things that shouldn't be possible at his age. We break it all down, then shift to the NFL Draft — winners, losers, and what NIL is doing to the pipeline. We close with a roundtable: you're the GM of an expansion team, one player to build around, no Luka, no SGA, no Wemby. Who do you take?

NBA Playoff Trailers, NFL Draft Storylines & The Bear Suit

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 08:22:19 -0600

The NBA playoffs are here and every series is a movie — so we did the trailers. All eight first round matchups, rated and titled. Plus: the NFL Draft is four days out and here are the storylines worth watching beyond your own team's pick. Baseball is three weeks in and the Mets are already a disaster. Shohei Ohtani is doing things that shouldn't be possible. The Stanley Cup Playoffs started this weekend and Connor McDavid still hasn't won one. And three people in California just got sentenced for submitting insurance claims on a Rolls-Royce Ghost using a bear costume. A lot happened. Let's get into it.

Rory Goes Back-to-Back, NBA Playoffs Preview & The KD Files

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 06:10:55 -0600

Rory McIlroy just won back-to-back Masters titles — only the fourth player in history to do it. Cannon and Glue Guy Kirby react to the week at Augusta, debate where Rory belongs on the all-time list, and ask whether Justin Rose is running out of time. Then it's NBA playoffs preview time — the Play-In breakdown, one Glue Guy per confirmed team you need to be watching, and why the KD Files prove Houston's locker room is the opposite of connected. Plus the Parlay: the Dodgers' terrible return on investment, 59 years and counting for Toronto, Sinner reclaims number one with a win over Alcaraz at Monte Carlo, and a take on Bieber's Coachella return.
