The Next Round

Musician Steve Azar and actor/comedian Gary Valentine join Jake Coker and Mick Gillispie at the Delta Soul Golf Tournament in Greenville, Mississippi, for a conversation full of comedy, music, Southern culture, and giving back. Gary Valentine shares the hilarious story of how his mother secretly signed him up for his first open mic night, launching a career that eventually led to stand-up success and his memorable role on The King of Queens. He also explains the story behind his stage name and why “Valentine” stuck. Steve Azar discusses the mission behind the Delta Soul Golf Tournament, which raises money to support arts programs for children in the Mississippi Delta, and how returning home to Greenville helped inspire a new creative chapter in his music career. The group also talks about Southern hospitality, the cultural power of the Mississippi Delta, returning home after years in entertainment, upcoming projects, and a special look at Pearl River Resort with Jake Coker and Steve Azar.

The debut episode of The Connor O'Gara Show is here on The Next Round digital platform, and Connor is joined by Lance Taylor — LT — for a loose, live Friday morning conversation on college football, gambling, wild personal stories and the start of a new weekly series. Connor and LT dive into the Brendan Sorsby gambling situation and why Texas Tech has found itself in the middle of a major PR storm. Is the school backing Sorsby because of loyalty — or because he represents a massive NIL investment? LT also opens up about his past as a college bookmaker, why he eventually walked away from the business, and how the modern NIL era has completely changed the conversation around college athletes and gambling. Plus, Connor and LT swap unbelievable run-ins with authority — from a college house party SWAT raid to LT being detained by the DEA after a Burger King parking lot drug deal gone wrong.

Lance Taylor and Tyler Johns are back with another episode of The Next Reel, and this time they are taking on one of the best debates in movie fandom: what movies did critics get completely wrong? Before getting to their Top 5 lists of movies critics hated but they personally love, Lance and Tyler recap everything they watched recently, including classic films, thrillers, horror, comedies, reboots, franchise movies, box office surprises, and nostalgic favorites. This episode covers everything from classic Clint Eastwood crime thrillers like Dirty Harry and Magnum Force, to the tense Nicole Kidman thriller Dead Calm, the disappointing return of Scary Movie 6, the messy Masters of the Universe reboot, and a theatrical rewatch of The Backrooms. Lance and Tyler also break down the massive box office success of Obsession, a low-budget film that exploded into a nearly $200 million phenomenon, and compare its word-of-mouth success to some of the biggest movie surprises of all time. Then, the guys dive into the main event: a spoiler-safe countdown of their favorite movies that received harsh reviews, low critic scores, or poor Rotten Tomatoes ratings — but still deserve love from real movie fans. Are critics too harsh on certain genres? Do comedy, action, nostalgia, and crowd-pleasing blockbusters get unfairly dismissed? And are there some so-called “bad movies” that are actually great? If you love movie reviews, film podcasts, Rotten Tomatoes debates, underrated movies, cult classics, rewatchable films, nostalgic favorites, bad reviews vs audience scores, and passionate arguments about the movies critics got wrong, this episode of The Next Reel is for you. Drop your favorite movie that critics hated but you still love in the comments. Did Rotten Tomatoes get it wrong? Are critics out of touch? Or are some movies just more fun than their reviews suggest?

Nick Saban went to Capitol Hill to speak out about the future of college football, NIL, the transfer portal, and the growing concerns around the current state of college athletics. On this edition of Last Call, Mick Gillispie and former Alabama quarterback Jake Coker react to Saban's testimony and discuss whether college sports has moved too far toward a pay-for-play model. Has NIL lost its original purpose? Has the transfer portal become unrestricted free agency? Should college football have salary caps, transfer limits, stronger regulations, and a return to more regional rivalries? Mick and Jake break down why Saban believes college athletics needs structure before the sport changes forever. The conversation also turns to the college baseball tournament, where Alabama, Auburn, and Troy are making noise in the postseason. The guys discuss the impact of St. John's upsetting Florida State, what it means for Alabama Baseball's path forward, and why the future of Olympic sports could be in danger if football's revenue model continues to shift. Topics include:

“The Film Guy” Brooks Austin joins The Next Round to break down two of the biggest conversations in college football: the hottest coaching seats in the country and who has the best QB room over the next four years? Brooks gives his full perspective on which college football coaches are under the most pressure heading into the season, including a deep dive on Florida State head coach Mike Norvell. Does Norvell have ANY chance to save his job at FSU, or has the situation in Tallahassee already reached the point of no return? The guys also discuss Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian and the pressure to win now with, arguably, the most loaded roster in college football. With Texas entering the season with massive expectations, how much pressure is Sark really under to deliver a championship-level year? Plus, Brooks explains why he trusts Kalen DeBoer to get the quarterback position right at Alabama. Can the Crimson Tide continue to develop elite QB play in the post-Nick Saban era? And where does Alabama rank among the top quarterback rooms in college football over the next four years?

Former Alabama national championship quarterback Jake Coker joins Mick Gillispie on Last Call to discuss the changing future of college football, conference realignment, and the growing debate over the College Football Playoff. Could the SEC and Big Ten eventually separate from the NCAA and create their own college football governing structure? If that happens, should the SEC expand by adding major brands like Florida State, Clemson, and Miami? Mick and Jake break down why the SEC and Big Ten continue to hold the most value in college football and what that could mean for the ACC, Big 12, Notre Dame, and the rest of the sport. The guys also dive into the future of the College Football Playoff, including the ongoing debate between a 16-team CFP format and a 24-team playoff. Would expansion help college football, or would it weaken the regular season by allowing too many multi-loss teams into the postseason? Plus, Mick and Jake discuss the end of “cupcake” games, the push for better SEC scheduling, Notre Dame's independent status, ESPN's influence on the playoff, preferred kickoff times, and the latest on Alabama athletics — including Alabama football, Alabama softball's Women's College World Series run, and Alabama baseball hosting St. John's in the Super Regionals.

Former Alabama quarterback Jake Coker joins the discussion as college athletics faces major changes with the proposed Protect College Sports Act, a bipartisan effort from Senators Ted Cruz and Maria Cantwell aimed at reshaping the future of the NCAA, NIL, the transfer portal, athlete eligibility, and revenue sharing. In this episode, Jake Coker and the crew break down the biggest issues in college sports today: should athletes be limited to one transfer? Should college eligibility be capped at five years? Should former professional athletes be allowed to compete in college sports? And could revenue sharing and NIL changes put non-revenue sports like softball, baseball, and other spring sports at risk? Jake also shares his perspective as a former Alabama quarterback, explaining why he believes transfer restrictions could help athletes build accountability, handle adversity, and develop within a program. Plus, the guys celebrate a big week for Alabama athletics, including the Alabama softball team's dramatic postseason comeback win over UCLA and Alabama baseball's explosive playoff performance. The conversation also turns nostalgic as Jake Coker looks back on Alabama's dominant 38-10 win over Georgia in 2015, his playing career, a memorable trick play involving Kelvin Benjamin, and the lasting impact of elite coaches like Nick Saban and Kirby Smart on college football programs.

What are the greatest space movies of all time? On this episode of The Next Reel, Lance Taylor and Tyler Johns count down their personal Top 5 space-themed movies, debating the sci-fi classics, blockbuster adventures and cinematic experiences that best capture the mystery, danger and spectacle of outer space. Before the countdown, Lance and Tyler recap what they watched over the weekend.
