In the feature interview presented by NHL Sense Arena, Ravensbergen talks about his path and lessons from not being drafted into the WHL to being a first round pick in the NHL, and about wrapping up his time with the Prince George Cougars by winning the WHL goalie of the year award, and now heading to Michigan State to play NCAA hockey next season.

The Giants may be trying to get bigger and tougher up front, but they could weaken both lines if Dexter Lawrence's contract fight drags on while Daniel Faalele becomes part of the answer on the offensive line. Is this a smart trench reset or a wrong bet that could backfire before Week 1?Follow us on Spotify so you do not miss an episode, and if you listen on Apple, please drop a 5-star rating and review to help more Giants fans find the show.In this episode, Drew and Rob go hard on what feels like the real pressure point of the Giants offseason: the trenches. Dexter Lawrence skipping the voluntary program as his contract situation hangs over the team is not just normal spring drama. It puts the entire defensive line under a microscope, because the Giants cannot replace what he means to that front if this gets uglier. The guys break down why they still think this is more about money than a true desire to leave, where Joe Shane may have mishandled the timing, and why the team now has almost no clean options if the standoff lasts any longer. If the Giants want to build a nasty, physical defense, how do they pull that off without their most dominant lineman fully settled? And if they cave too quickly, how do they protect themselves from paying for past production instead of future dominance?On the other side, the Daniel Faalele signing turns into a full-blown debate about whether the Giants are making another risky bet on the offensive line. Drew is openly worried this is the kind of Harbaugh-linked move fans were afraid of, especially if Faalele is viewed as a real starting option instead of just cheap depth. The guys get into his ugly recent grading, why Ravens fans were glad to see him go, and why right guard still feels unsettled even after another body was added. Is this just harmless competition, or is it a bad priority for a team that still needs a real answer in front of its quarterback?They also hit Paulson Adebo missing the offseason program and why that rubbed them the wrong way, the latest timeline on Cam Skattebo and Malik Nabers, Ryan Miller coming back, Kayvon Thibodeaux trade chatter, and Dennard Wilson's vision for a violent, suffocating New York defense. But the heart of the episode is simple: if the Giants do not get the lines right, everything else gets a lot harder.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/ Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs All episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show

The Giants added real speed and return juice with Calvin Austin III, but they also added another smaller receiver to a room that still has real questions about size, blocking, and true depth. Is this a smart low-cost addition, or are the Giants making another small bet at wide receiver instead of solving the bigger problem?Follow us on Spotify for more Giants reactions, and if you listen on Apple, please drop a 5-star rating and review to help the show grow.This episode is built around the Calvin Austin signing because that was the real debate of the night. Drew and Rob break down why the deal itself makes sense on paper at one year and $1.5 million, why the incentives matter, and why Austin's speed gives this offense something it badly needed. They get into the 4.32 speed, the return ability, the gadget usage, and why Austin could absolutely carve out a role if the Giants use him the right way. They also make the case that fans are too quick to dismiss a player just because he is not a headline name. If Austin gives this team a few hundred receiving yards, return value, and real speed stress, that is strong value on this contract.At the same time, the episode keeps coming back to the real tradeoff. Austin is still undersized. He is not the guy you want winning jump balls. He is not bringing much as a blocker. And if the Giants keep stacking smaller complementary receivers without adding enough size and complete skill sets around Malik Nabors, are they really building a better room or just adding another specialist? That is the tension running through the entire discussion. The guys also talk about whether Austin is really a Jalin Hyatt replacement, whether Jackson Dart could benefit from this type of weapon, and why the Giants may still need to draft another receiver even after making this move. The overall takeaway is that the contract is good, the role makes sense, and the value is real, but the broader receiver room still feels unfinished.The rest of the show touches on the other Day 4 moves and reactions, including Chris Board being released, Aaron Stinnie and Ryan Miller returning, the Abdul Carter No. 3 jersey buzz, and media comments from Tremaine Edmunds, Jermaine Eluemunor, Micah McFadden, Patrick Ricard, and Jason Sanders. But the center of gravity is Calvin Austin and what this signing says about how the Giants are trying to build the offense.This is the audio from yesterday morning's live show.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/ Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs All episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send a textSupport the show

This week, the hosts revisit the cultural chaos of early 2000s reality television through the lens of the documentary Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model on Netflix. What a time to be alive! From the era that brought viewers Flavor of Love, I Love New York, Jersey Shore, The Real World, and Paris Hilton's reality TV dominance, the conversation explores how shock value, humiliation, and boundary-pushing became entertainment staples. At the center of the discussion is Tyra Banks' assertion that she was simply producing the content audiences wanted more of. The hosts critically examine that defense, questioning whether demand absolves creators of accountability. They unpack how reality television shaped beauty standards, normalized problematic behavior, and blurred the line between competition and exploitation. From controversial challenges to moments that feel deeply uncomfortable in hindsight, the episode explores what responsibility producers hold when entertainment has real-world impact.*Please be advised this episode is intended for adult audiences and contains adult language and content.

As public markets shrink and become hyper-efficient, the quest for alpha has shifted toward private equity, private credit, and real assets. Tony explains why sizing matters, how to reframe illiquidity as a design choice rather than a risk, and why the next decade belongs to those who can navigate the inefficiency of private markets.

Most fund managers believe they are getting rejected because of their track record or IRR, but the truth is far more clinical: they simply aren't "institutional ready." In this master class episode of Making Billions, Ryan Miller reveals the institutional mindset to why returns alone never close institutional capital. If you want to raise capital from pension funds, endowments, or sovereign wealth funds, you must stop thinking like a salesperson and start thinking like a steward of capital.Subscribe on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTOe79EXLDsROQ0z3YLnu1QQConnect with Ryan Miller:Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rcmiller1/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/makingbillionspodcast/X: https://x.com/_MakingBillionsWebsite: https://making-billions.com/[THE HOST]: Ryan Miller is a recovering CFO turned angel investor in technology and energy.Support the showDISCLAIMER: The information in every podcast episode “episode” is provided for general informational purposes only and may not reflect the current law in your jurisdiction.
