If you’re like me, sports are omnipresent in your life. Whether it’s rooting for your favorite squads, bashing your rivals, or wondering how in the hell (insert washed up veteran here) makes $25 million per year, we live and breathe this stuff. On Noujoum Knows Sports, there is nothing you won’t hear. There is nowhere in the wide world of sports I won’t go (except for badminton, although you never know). Subscribe for reactions, predictions, analysis, and of course, the rant of the week. Enjoy!
The Mets missed out on their big splash, yet it didn't derail their long-term approach. At least, that's my takeaway from the last several weeks of what has been a calm offseason for the club. I discuss that, the death of the "innings eater", Sean Manaea, Harrison Bader, and, well... I discuss a lot in this one lol. Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoy! PS: Shoutout to Ben for the new thumbnail!
Of course Yamamoto signed AFTER we recorded... anyway, in this episode, Ben and I break down the Mets making a move with David Stearns' former employer, bringing in two players that figure to make an impact in 2024. I also talk about why I'm excited to bring the ultra-rare outdoor podcasting element to Flushing 411. Thanks for listening, and we hope you enjoy!
It feels so damn good to be back! My name is Omar, and I'm here to bring you Flushing 411, a podcast dedication to the New York Mets, in every way, shape AND form. As I gear up for my 22nd season as a Met fan, I lay out a few expectations as to what's to come with Flushing 411 this season. Thanks so much for tuning into my first episode, and I hope you enjoy!
Hello!! There have been some wonderful things going on, and some thins just simply needed to be discussed, and no, it's not all about Punxsutawney, although he is fluffy and magnificent! Thank you all for tuning in, and I'll be back with another episode soon!
There comes a point in every Mets season where a quick glance at the schedule is harrowing. In 2022, we have reached that point. The Mets have stormed out of the gates in the first two months of this season, playing to a record of 35-17. Now, over the courses of a 13-game stretch, they'll be taking on the stiffest competition they've faced this season. No matter what the outcome, we're sure to learn a lot about just how much we can trust their hot start. Thank you so much for tuning in, and I hope you enjoy!

It's time! Well, the truth is, it's not, but I simply can't wait any longer! I'm not sure what the proper amount of time is to properly analyze an album before proceeding to rank each song from it, but something tells me four days is not that amount of time. OH WELL, IT'S HARRY! In this episode, I tackle each of the 13 songs from his third studio album, Harry's House, and where I think they belong in the hierarchy of the album. I can't wait to hear where you think I went dead wrong! Thank you so much for listening, and I hope you enjoy! Thumbnail courtesy of NPR
It has been a minute since the last Cuff, hasn't it? The amount of topics that came to mind today was dangerous... it could have ended up as a 90-minute volume. Thankfully for us all, it did not, but I feel like a lot of wonderful things that have been going on came up in the discussion tonight! Thank you so much for the support, and I hope you enjoy!
It's hard to imagine the Mets opening the season with a more eventful stretch of 28 games, and boy has it been fun! A 19-9 record has been more than enough to turn heads, but we Met fans know that playoff berths aren't clinched in May. What's next??? Thumbnail courtesy of Amazin' Avenue
Last night, the Mets won a game in classic Mets fashion, except... by Mets fashion, I mean that this was just about the most Mets way to lose that I've ever seen, except they won! Is it an omen? Are the cruxes and curses finally ready to be lifted from this godforsaken team after all this time in the doldrums?! Please let it be true! Anyway, here's my breakdown on last nights madness, and the continuation of a damn good start to the season. I hope you enjoy! Thumbnail courtesy of Amazin' Avenue
A trip to Utica for work became not only a nice city escape, but also quite the trip down memory lane, as I also ventured back to Albany for the first time in more than two years. That's all I got for a description lmaooo I'm emo! Enjoy!
Description coming soon! Thumbnail courtesy of Sky Sports
At long last, the 2022 MLB season in underway, and not a moment too soon! The Mets have made a habit out of getting off to good starts in April, and they're doing it again, with a league best 5-2 record after their first road trip. Will they sustain it, and how can they sustain it, will be the questions to keep an eye on as the month continues on… thanks so much for listening, and I hope you enjoy! Thumbnail courtesy of SI
It's all happening! It kinda feels like this time of year always brings with it a lot of things going on all at once, and this April has been no different. I'm lucky to be able to say that almost all of it is positive stuff, and just overall I feel very excited for the Spring and Summer (it is supposed to be in the 40's in NYC next week, so I refuse to acknowledge that it's Spring yet…). Thank you all so much for tuning into the madness, and I hope you enjoy!
It's been a longgggg, harsh baseball winter, and one that was almost extended even further after the ridiculous team owners initiated a lockout. The good news? The lockout is in the past, the offseason is in the past, and BASEBALL IS HERE! As the season gets underway, I list off my predictions for all things 2022 MLB season. Let me know where you agree, which picks make me sound crazy, and everything in between. Thanks so much for listening, and I hope you enjoy! Thumbnail courtesy of SportsNet CA
48. Hours. That's all that stands between us baseball fanatics and the 2022 MLB Season! We've made it through quite the tumultuous offseason, and even though injuries have already begun to show their ugly selves, this is one of the most promising Mets rosters to begin a season in quite some time. Andy and I are here to break down every name that figures to factor into this Mets season, and give our takes on the team as a whole. Thanks so much for supporting the episode, and LFGM!
Well well well, if it isn't me finally feeling in a place where I can devote more time to the pod again! It's definitely been a little tougher to keep up with things since the move, and I have tried to do my best not to push myself too much to the point where the pod became more of a chore than a wonderful hobby. That all being said, things are officially slowing down, which means 23 Cents is picking back up! Thank you so much for your support, and I hope you enjoy!
The Big 40! In a way, it seems as if there have been far more than 40 volumes of this series, but either way, I've loved it all throughout. In this weeks edition, I talk about the blast I had in Washington, as well as just general thoughts on how OTC has been helpful for me in terms of my communication. Thank you so much for continuing to support the pod, and I hope you enjoy!
Off The Cuff arrives to the party fashionably late for Volume 39, but I really enjoyed this one! As you can see by the title, our new intro for the pod has finally made it's debut, and I already love it! Thank you so much for continuing to support OTC, and I hope you enjoy!
This episode may or may not cause whiplash, just a quick FYI! The first day of the NCAA March Madness tournament is truly one of the finest days of the year on the sports calendar, and this year, I figured I'd chronicle the whole damn thing, here on 23 Cents! Thanks so much for giving it a listen, and I hope you enjoy! Thumbnail courtesy of WLKY.com
This is just one of those hehehehe episodes... enjoy!
Well then... 49 minutes?! Ever since shifting things around and starting to record Off The Cuff on Sunday nights, I've noticed that the episodes have been ending up with a little more length to em. In fact, I believe that this particular one was the longest yet! Inside, I talk about my mom (of course), March Madness (duh), and a whole lot on the periphery. Thanks so much for the support, and I hope you enjoy!
There's always something so fantastic about seeing a brand new stadium for the first time! Exploring the concourse, sampling the food options, taking home a souvenir, all of it! What makes things even better? When your good friend is along for the experience! In this episode, Olu and I tackle UBS Arena, the new home of the New York Islanders. Thanks so much for listening, and I hope you enjoy!
And what a night it was, I'll just leave it at that as to not spoil... thanks so much for listening and supporting!
We have reached the end of the road for our couples! No, but really, it was the end of the road for a good deal of em. But hey, some were able to make it all the way through! It remains to be seen what the finale has in store for us this weekend, but in this episode, I break down what was an ending in which some outcomes were easy to see coming, and some not as much so. Thank you all for tuning in, and I hope you enjoy!
Coming in for what feels like could be quite the crash landing here! The time alone in the "real world" has done a number on some of these couples. There's certainly a whole lot of yikes, but still hope for some of them... we'll see! Thanks so much for listening, and I hope you enjoy!
This one was more on the emotional side than any episode in quite a while, and it also ended up being the longest Off The Cuff in the history of the series! Thank goodness for everyone's sake that I recorded this one on the mic at home! Thank you all for continuing to support not only the pod, but me! It means a whole damn lot to me and I hope you guys know that. Enjoy!
Past the halfway point, and what have we learned? Well, most of all, we've learned that this show is straight out of the loony bin, perhaps one of the most insane reality shows I've ever watched! We also know that although we have a few engaged couples hanging on right now, there aren't any couples that we can really and truly trust. Four episodes to go, two pods to go... let's see this madness! Thanks for the listen gang!
Uh oh... I didn't know the full premise and setup of this show going in, and that was part of the allure for me. I was going in relatively blind, of course with the understanding that the participants wouldn't be seeing each other in person, at least initially. What I didn't know is just how much post engagement footage we'd see, and so far? Well, some engagements aren't going to stick, let's just put it that way. Thank you all for tuning in, and I hope you enjoy!
The time has come! Reality TV is back, in a much different format, and this time, we're taking our tea to Love is Blind, which has been the topic of much conversation all around me of late. I've been wanting to get back into the swing of things for a while now, and this felt like the perfect opportunity to do so, while trying it from another angle. Thank you so much for listening, and I hope you guys enjoy this season!
Good moods during good days are really the best time to record, even if it means during an eventful walk down Manhattan's west side. In the spirit of keeping this description nice and short, I just wanted to thank you all once again for continuing to support, and for being a substantial part of my life over this past year and a half, even if it sounds crazy!
It's been such a great weekend so far, as I had a chance to host my cousin Mitch for a few nights. The activities were a blast, the food (and drinks) were phenomenal, but most of all, it was just so wonderful to return the favor and finally host a cousin of mine after all the hosting they've done for me! I also take some time to speak on the greatness of Euphoria, and the direction of some of the episodes to come on the pod. Thanks so much for the support, and I hope you enjoy!
Travel vlogcasts have made a handful of appearances here on 23 Cents, but one thing that hasn't been featured in an episode yet is traveling for business, mostly due to the fact that this was my first time! It was a short little trip, but I still had so much fun, and learned a lot about myself as well. Thanks so much for the support, and I hope you enjoy!
A little mini series makes its debut, at long last! I've been wanting to be able to go back and check in with those who I've featured on the pod over time, and just essentially see what they've been up to. Of course, life has gotten in the way on many occasions, not in a bad way per se, but just a busy way. Now, with a little more time on my hands, I can begin to make the rounds! We begin with a 23 Cents regular, Will, aka Squilly. He and I talk about moving (what a surprise), music, social media, and of course, his Buffalo Bills. Thank you all so much for tuning in, and we hope you enjoy!
Four teams remain, with one of them set to be crowned the champions of Super Bowl 56 in two weeks. But first, they have to get through this week, which is set up top be quite the encore for last weeks madness. Can it be even better? Might be an impossible task, but needless to say I am HYPE for these games! Thumbnail courtesy of Fox4KC
Finally! Moving has been a process and a half, but the apartment took a major step forward today when my couch was delivered, so you know I had to hop on and chat with you guys about that and far more. Oh, and who stopped in for this episode but the most popular guest in 23 Cents history! Here's to you all you courteous listeners, I hope you enjoy!
Description coming soon!
This is the week we've all been waiting for! We knew going into last weeks playoff matchups that if things lined up just right, we'd get some really tasty matchups the following week, and now here we are! What will go down this week? Well we already know parts of it, but not when I recorded! Listen in for my thoughts on the games. Thanks so much for the support! Thumbnail courtesy of Pride of Detroit
Hey all! I wanted to do an episode where I just spoke on sports betting, as it has just opened its legal doors in my home state of New York. There is a lot of risk and just overall confusion involved with betting on sports, and so I felt that it'd be a good idea to open up a bit of a dialogue on the topic, and just share some of my thoughts, experiences and advice! Please feel free to reach out at any time with questions. If you do feel like you could use more assistance, call 877-8-HOPENY
The pickmeisters are back for the playoffs! Listen in as I i diagram both myself and Michael's predictions for what we believe will go down in the first round of the 2022 Playoffs. Thanks so much for tuning in, and enjoy the games!
Oh, how I've missed you guys! The move has been so incredibly hectic, as all moves are, and I haven't had a moment to stop and chat with you all. In fact, even this episode took place while I was out and about gathering items for the apartment. Thank you so much for all of your kind words of support during the process, and boy does it feel good to be back!
This one went a little long, but to say that my mind is on overload right now would be quite the understatement. Recorded tonights OTC volume on the way to quite the monumental moment for myself, and shared a bit of what I've been thinking about lately as the calendar turns to a new year. Thank you all so much for all of your support, and I hope you enjoy!

Does this take the cake as the most hectic episode yet?! It might be up there with that one Bach Cap. Few places are quite as hectic as downtown Manhattan, and that's the latest setting for the Off The Cuff series. So much to discuss that's both unfolding right now, as well as some things that are right there on the horizon. My apologies for all the distractions that came to be during this episode, but I think they add a bit of flavor. Thanks so much for supporting, and I hope you enjoy!
