The Sixers draft VJ Edgecombe out of Baylor University with the 3rd overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. He has some great tools and a very athletic style of play and will likely slide right into the Guard rotation. The question remains however, if the Sixers can make it out of the 2nd Round of the Eastern Conference Playoffs. Joel Embiid and Paul George will be one year older, and the skepticism over their ability to stay healthy enough to play even 50 games total together remains. The Phillies were swept in Houston while the pitching staff allowed just 5 runs combined. Suarez, Wheeler, and Sanchez were masterful, but the offense was in hibernation. With the trade deadline looming, Tek & Prem discuss the possible scenarios with key prospects and potential trade pieces on the active roster. A weekend series in Atlanta against the Braves, who are heating up, will provide more clarity regarding the Phillies recent offensive slumber. The Flyers add a young player with a lot of upside in a pre-draft trade and the NHL Draft is on deck.

On today's episode, we celebrate the Oklahoma City Thunder for capturing the championship this season. Unfortunately, Game 7 came with a tough blow for Indiana, as Tyrese Haliburton suffered a torn Achilles—making him the eighth player this season to go down with the same injury. We dive into the growing concern around the rising number of Achilles tears in recent years and what might be causing this trend. With these major injuries hitting the Eastern Conference and several teams shifting their rosters to create cap flexibility, the East is now wide open.

There's nothing like the NBA and NHL Finals… unless you count professional pillow fighting. In this episode, Father Dave and Deacon Bob celebrate the end of the sports season with a rundown of the Stanley Cup, the NBA Finals, and the rise of summer's strangest athletic events, including the Pillow Fighting Championship (yes, it's real). But the heart of the episode is hope—the kind that doesn't come from scores or summer plans, but from Christ. They reflect on the Eucharist, the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts, and the graces poured out at recent conferences at Franciscan and Notre Dame. From youth ministry to marriage milestones, they explore what it means to trust God with both our spiritual and everyday needs. Naturally, they go off on tangents, from hotel bathrobes and awkward airline announcements to anniversary shoutouts and the idea of launching a Franciscan pillow-fighting team (tentative name: the Franciscan Feathers). Highlighted Sections (00:00) Bathrobes, Notre Dame, and the $175 Upcharge Deacon Bob checks in from the Morris Inn at the University of Notre Dame, complimentary robe included. He's there for Notre Dame Vision, a youth program inviting high schoolers into deeper faith. (03:30) Sports Wrap and the Rise of Pillow Fighting From there, they pivot to sports: the Florida Panthers clinch the Stanley Cup, Oklahoma City Thunder top the Pacers in Game 7, and Canada's Stanley Cup drought continues. And just when you think sports can't get weirder—enter the Pillow Fighting Championship, now with corporate sponsorships and, apparently, rules. (10:31) Augustine and Airport Public Shaming Fr. Dave highlights a recent In Focus episode featuring Dr. Shane Owens, where they unpack the enduring relevance of St. Augustine's Confessions in a world increasingly shaped by AI and secular culture. The conversation quickly pivots, though, as Deacon Bob shares a less lofty moment: a painfully awkward moment from his flight to South Bend, where a bathroom break turned into a public shaming over the intercom. (19:29) Hope as Grace: Conferences and Franciscan Honeymoon Father Dave shares stories from the Power and Purpose Conference, themed around hope. He reflects on hope as a grace—not just good vibes or optimism—and mentions a couple who spent their 50th wedding anniversary and a couple on their honeymoon at the same event. (23:01) Corpus Christi and the God Who Satisfies Jesus didn't just meet spiritual needs. He fed the crowds too. Father Dave and Deacon Bob explore how our trust in God is often strong in the abstract, but wavers in daily stresses. They tie it back to Corpus Christi, Romans 5, and the gift of the Holy Spirit. (28:34) Sacred Hearts, Summer Kickoffs, and Marriage Milestones Deacon Bob celebrates 28 years of marriage on the same day as the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. He also gives a shoutout to the kickoff of Franciscan's high school youth conferences and the ongoing Priests, Deacons, and Seminarians Retreat. (31:10) Praying for Peace in a Complicated World The hosts close with a prayer for peace amid global tensions, especially in the Middle East and Ukraine. They close with a reflection on Pope Leo's Angelus invitation to prayer and remind listeners that lasting peace only comes from the Heart of Christ. Resources & Mentions · Power and Purpose Conference – A weekend of renewal, prayer, and worship through Steubenville Conferences. · Notre Dame Vision – A summer youth program helping teens hear God's call. · Romans 15:13 and Romans 5:5 – Scriptures that anchor this episode's theme of hope · Pope Leo XIV: Son of St. Augustine– Watch the latest In Focus episode with guest Dr. Shane Owens on Faith & Reason. · Pillow Fighting Championship– Yes, it's real.

Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. President Dad The latest developments in global politics, with a strong focus on President Donald Trump’s leadership in brokering a ceasefire between Iran and Israel. The hosts analyze the fragile -- but currently holding -- ceasefire, emphasizing Trump’s diplomatic strategy and his frustration with both nations’ initial violations. They liken his tone to that of a fed-up father trying to keep peace among unruly children, highlighting his relatable, no-nonsense communication style. The discussion underscores the significant military and strategic setback suffered by Iran, with Israel’s precision strikes dismantling key elements of Iran’s nuclear and missile infrastructure. The hosts argue that this outcome not only showcases Israel’s military superiority but also sends a powerful message to the Iranian regime and its people about the futility of continued aggression. They explore the psychological and political impact on ordinary Iranians, questioning whether the public will begin to challenge the legitimacy of their leadership in light of these failures. President Trump’s broader Middle East policy is praised for its emphasis on economic cooperation and regional stability, particularly through initiatives like the Abraham Accords. The hosts credit Trump’s business-first approach with fostering stronger ties between Israel and several Arab nations, contrasting this with Iran’s stagnation under hardline clerical rule. The Country is Doing Great a breakdown of the ongoing ceasefire between Israel and Iran, emphasizing President Trump’s pivotal role in brokering peace and preventing escalation. Clay and Buck dismantle media-driven fears of World War III, highlighting how oil prices have dropped to around $65 per barrel and the S&P 500 is near record highs—contradicting predictions of economic collapse. They credit Trump’s strategic leadership and economic policies, including tariffs, for maintaining market stability and national prosperity. Mark Simone on Why the NYC Primary Matters Clay and Buck's deep into the political upheaval surrounding the New York City mayoral race, offering sharp analysis and insider commentary on the Democratic primary and its national implications. WOR’s Mark Simone joins the program and breaks down the surprising momentum of socialist candidate Momani and the controversial comeback attempt by former Governor Andrew Cuomo. The discussion highlights Cuomo’s problematic legacy, including his role in implementing no-bail laws, closing prisons, and mishandling the COVID-19 nursing home crisis—policies that have driven residents and businesses out of New York in droves. The hosts explore how ranked-choice voting could dramatically influence the outcome, potentially delaying results for days and enabling strategic alliances among candidates. Simone predicts a rare five-way general election featuring Mamdani, Cuomo, current Mayor Eric Adams, Republican Curtis Sliwa, and another independent. The conversation underscores the broader political stakes, suggesting that New York City’s election could serve as a national barometer for the Democratic Party’s direction in the Trump era. Listeners also hear about the economic and social consequences of a potential Mamdani victory, including threats from major business owners to leave the city. The hour wraps with a broader reflection on the psychological resistance among liberal voters to admit policy failures, and how this mindset perpetuates urban decline in Democrat-led cities. This episode is essential listening for anyone tracking the 2025 political landscape, the resurgence of President Donald Trump, and the future of America’s largest city under the shadow of radical progressive politics. Dumb Democrats The hosts also critique the radical left, particularly New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, who advocates for socialist policies and extreme anti-Israel rhetoric. They draw attention to the broader Democratic Party’s internal chaos, spotlighting Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s failed attempt to impeach President Trump over the Iran airstrikes. The impeachment vote—defeated 344 to 79, with 128 Democrats voting against it—underscores the disconnect between progressive activists and mainstream Democrats. President Trump’s energy and stamina are praised as he travels to Europe for NATO meetings immediately after intense diplomatic efforts in the Middle East. The show features clips of Trump lambasting CNN and MSNBC for their coverage of the Iran strikes, reinforcing his stance that Iran will not obtain nuclear weapons and may pivot toward becoming a trading nation. The hour wraps with commentary on the Oklahoma City Thunder’s peaceful championship celebration, a call for the team to visit the White House, and reflections on the Biden presidency. The hosts argue that President Biden’s legacy is unraveling, with revelations about his past behavior and leadership failures surfacing even among Democrats.
