The Cedric Phillips Podcast

Cedric Phillips dials up Joey Bags to dissect the announcement made by All Elite Wrestling and the review NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool. Is the promotion that Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks are behind competition to WWE or is this just another TNA clone? And what was clearly a great show in Blackpool, what do Ced and Joe see as the future of NXT UK? All that along with some Cheesecake Factory antics and a tribute to the and only "Mean" Gene Okerlund!

Cedric Phillips sits down with his long time friend and founder of Driveline Baseball, Kyle Boddy, for part two of their back and forth conversation about their 2018 year in review and how they're preparing for 2019 and beyond. This time around, they do a little Q&A from many of their followers and listeners. Just like last time, we hope you enjoy, but more importantly, take a lot away from these conversations.

Cedric Phillips sits down with his long time friend and founder of Driveline Baseball, Kyle Boddy, to talk about their 2018 year in review and how they're preparing for 2019 and beyond. Just how far can one person push their limits without experiencing burnout? What do Ced and Kyle do when they get frustrated with work? How does one remove emotion from decision making? And how do two people who spend so much of their time working and have such a high bar for success come to terms that those who they work with may not have similar goals? This is part one of a lengthy, but enlightening, two-part conversation (the second part is a Q&A!) that I hope you enjoy, but more importantly, take a lot away from.

During his trip to GP Oakland, Cedric Phillips sat down with Ben Friedman, Jarvis Yu, Paul Rietzl, Corey Burkhart, Matt Nass, and a whole host of others to chat about the Modern decks that selected for Oakland's main event and why, what their favorite guild from Ravnica Allegiance is, what they're most excited about from Ravnica Allegiance, and if it's finally time to ban Krark-Clan Ironworks.

Cedric Phillips dials up Joey Bags to review all the happenings in the WWE during their year end awards show. Who won Wrestler of the Year? Feud of the Year? Comeback of the Year? Best Entrance?

During his trip to GP Vancouver, Cedric Phillips sat down with Joe Lossett, Andrew Elenbogen, Corey Burkhart, Martin Juza, and Sam Black to chat about the 2019 landscape of Magic: the Gathering. With so much uncertainty due to a lack of information from Wizards of the Coast, the approach and goals of these five fantastic Magic players for 2019 will surprise many.

Cedric Phillips dials up Joey Bags to review TLC, a show that ended up being much better than anticipated. They gush about the great Daniel Bryan vs AJ Styles match, what the ceiling is for Ronda Rousey after her most recent performance, why it's time for Rey Mysterio and Randy Orton to go away, applaud Charlotte for being a total badass, and beg the WWE for Ronda vs Charlotte vs Becky to main event Wrestlemania. All that and an update on Ced's missing car key!

Cedric Phillips sits down with the hosts of The GAM Podcast, Gerry Thompson and Bryan Gottlieb, to discuss is Magic can become an Esport? What we they're thoughts on the commercial with Sir Mix-A-Lot? Does it matter than the Pro Tour has been rebranded as the Mythic Championship? Just how awesome is Magic Arena as a product? And with all of these changes, is tabletop Magic dying a slow death? The three of them discuss this and so much more in what is absolutely a can't miss episode!

Cedric Phillips dials up Joey Bags to make their predictions for TLC! Will Baron Corbin's horrible tenure as GM finally end? Does anyone care about Natalya vs Ruby Riott? Are we prepared to be mooned by Bobby Lashley? What percentage chance does Finn Balor have to beat Drew McIntyre? And will Asuka finally win a title on the main roster after a dominant NXT run? All that and a behind the scenes look at Ced ordering dinner from The Cheesecake Factory...again?!

Cedric Phillips dials up Joey Bags to review NXT Takeover: Wargames and Survivor Series. The boys knew that they're excitement about Survivor Series going in was dubious but did the show exceed their expectations? They also touch on the greatness that was Black vs Gargano and Ciampa vs Dream, discuss just how bad Raw was last week (it was *so* bad), and beg someone... anyone... to take Baron Corbin away from BDS INC!
