  • Episode 194: 2025 Golden Pickle Awards

    In this special awards‑night spectacular, we roll out the brine‑green carpet for the inaugural Golden Pickle Awards—a celebration of every athlete, coach, owner, and sports personality who managed to earn the most prestigious dishonor in the game: being named the Biggest Pickle in Sports.


    From legendary meltdowns to baffling decisions, from meme‑worthy moments to season‑defining blunders, we revisit the year’s most unforgettable pickle‑adjacent performances. Expect dramatic recaps, over‑the‑top tributes, and a few surprise categories no one asked for but everyone secretly wanted.


    Who walked away with the Golden Pickle? Who doubled down and became a repeat offender? And who delivered a pickle moment so iconic it deserves its own wing in the Hall of Brine?


    Grab your snacks, tighten the jar lid, and enjoy the saltiest awards show in sports.

  • Episode 193: What it feels like to be a ghost

    This week’s episode rewinds the chaotic final days of Sherrone Moore’s tenure, as five women—speaking anonymously and not alleging anything criminal—describe a pattern of uncomfortable interactions with the former coach. From erratic emotional swings to late‑night DMs and the now‑identified apartment break‑in involving Paige Shiver, we unpack how a five‑year timeline of awkward encounters painted a picture of a man unraveling.


    Then we hit the news cycle you might’ve blinked and missed:  

    • Devin Bush is found not guilty after a domestic dispute that somehow began with mashed potatoes and ended with conflicting stories, a smashed phone, and a judge ruling prosecutors didn’t prove intent to harm.  

    • Georgetown’s Ed Cooley earns a one‑game suspension after launching a water bottle into the stands post‑loss.  

    • Samson Nacua—yes, Puka’s brother—is arrested after allegedly taking Lakers forward Adou Thiero’s vehicle for a valet‑assisted joyride to the One Hotel in West Hollywood. The investigation rolls on.


    And finally, this week’s Biggest Pickle: Brian Smith. The former Ohio University football coach managed to turn his office into a low‑budget Mad Men set—bourbon drawer included—before a string of letters, reprimands, and an investigation into an alleged relationship with a student ended in his firing. He’s 45, looks older, and apparently thought dating someone college‑aged was a brilliant life choice. Smith is fighting the dismissal, but the timeline is… a lot.


    It’s a full plate of sports chaos, questionable decisions, and the kind of stories that make you wonder how any of these people thought this would end well.
