The Go Radio Football Show: 27th of February 2026. PLAY and HIT SUBSCRIBE, and NEVER miss an episode! Old Firm mind games, selection dilemmas, fan unrest, and a title race on a knife edge. This episode delivers a fast-paced, fiery build‑up to one of the most anticipated Glasgow Derby weekends in years — all fuelled by sharp opinions, genuine insider insight, and a heavy dose of pre‑match tension. Celtic's first-ever win on German soil sets the tone, sparking debate on their momentum, their unexpected eight‑change gamble in Stuttgart, and the emerging goalkeeper selection headache. Meanwhile, Rangers' camp radiates confidence as Danny Rohl fires subtle verbal grenades, prompting reactions ranging from amused to outraged across the panel and callers. Barry Ferguson and Darren O'Dea offer deep tactical takes: Will Rangers go two up top? Will Martin O'Neill trust youth (Dane Murray) or experience (Kasper Schmeichel)? Can Celtic cope with the intensity and set‑play threat at Ibrox? Is the midfield battle already the deciding factor? The title race twists continue, with Motherwell's momentum, Hearts' nerve under pressure, and Aberdeen's decline all scrutinised. There's also a fascinating conversation on fan power at Celtic, Lord Willie Haughey's £10m share initiative, and how atmosphere — or lack of it — can make or break a season. Listener calls bring extra spice, including accusations of disrespect, claims of manager mind‑games, and bold predictions. And of course, the team makes their own scoreline calls for Sunday — divided, passionate, and absolutely certain of one thing: this one could change the season.

This episode offers an exclusive, first-hand account of the fifth Religious Liberty Commission hearing held at the Museum of the Bible. Matt and Jamison dive into critical issues discussed, including the rise of anti-semitism on college campuses, the concerning trend of "debanking" faith-based organizations, and the protection of First Amendment rights. The discussion centers on the "excitement" sparked by Commissioner Carrie Prejean Boller, whose combative questioning shifted the focus toward Zionism and theological disputes. The hosts provide insight into her subsequent removal by Chairman Dan Patrick, characterizing the event as a "hijacking" of the commission's nonpartisan mission. Amidst these "fireworks," the episode highlights a powerful moment of spiritual clarity from Franklin Graham, who refocused the room on the central reality of the risen Christ. By examining these legislative and cultural tensions, AACS Today equips leaders with the discernment needed to navigate complex public policy while remaining anchored in their faith.

Jamal about her two 2024 releases — the YA romcom If We Were a Movie and her upcoming adult romance Sparks Fly. We dive into the behind-the-scenes of book packaging, the realities of writing two debuts in one year, and why she wanted to flip the virgin-trope on its head. We also get into her writing process, K-drama obsession, telenovelas, Turkish dramas, and the book recs she's currently loving.

On this episode we debated a statement by the Judge who jailed Enoch Burke AGAIN this week. He said he's not being jailed for his transgender views - rather because he's become "...a malign presence (at Wilsons Hospital School) - an intruder, stalking the school, it's teachers and its pupils"

Cane is dealing with the aftermath of a damaging expose by Newman Media about his father, Colin Atkinson's (Tristan Rogers) fraudulent dealings, which implicated Cane's company, Arabesque.  Y&R spoilers focus on Phyllis as she deals with the fallout from her past misdeeds that caused her children, Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) and Summer Newman (Allison Lanier), to distance themselves from her. Phyllis, who has previously faked her own death with the help of Jeremy Stark (James Hyde), provides comfort and guidance to Cane, assuring him that their children will eventually forgive them. Spoilers for Young and Restless divulge Cane's first call after learning about the expose and facing the wrath of his ex-wife, Lily Winters (Christel Khalil), and his mother figure, Jill Abbott (Jess Walton), is to Phyllis. Both characters have a history of making poor choices and dealing with the consequences of their actions, which may serve as the foundation for their mutual understanding and connection. More Y&R spoilers emphasize the characters' struggle to escape the shadows of their fathers, who were known con men. It further explores the theme of unrequited love, as Phyllis deals with her unresolved feelings for Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow), who seems to be committed to Sharon Newman (Sharon Case).   Soap Dirt is the most subscribed to YouTube soap opera channel.

Disclaimer: This show is intended for satire and meant for fun. There are no death threats, intimidation, or unprofessional lawyer conduct. This is free speech and Gil telling a story through his own words and opinions. If you don't like the podcast, please don't listen to it. Nobody is forcing you to listen to it. (COUGH COUGH RAEES, BILL, JAMIE, BRANDON, etc.) In this episode we learn that Raees is trying to defend Jamie Sparks and still thinks of her as a material witness. If in fact she was a material witness, her ability to testify against Gil is conflicted as she formerly met with him as an attorney to discuss his personal life. We also learn that Raees files a new Protective Order to silence Gil or at the very least ensure that Gil doesn't talk about Brandon's upcoming deposition on the podcast. Why would Brandon want his deposition transcript sealed? What is he hiding from all of you? We will find out. We also learn that word on the street is Raees wants to amend his Complaint for the 3rd time. Sadly, it sounds like he wants to back off the original charges and introduce new charges. We also learn that Andrew Gould wants to expand discovery from 2022-2024 all the back to 2017 where he believes Gil may have been extorting Brandon all the way back then. Gil welcomes this opportunity to present new evidence as well that further dates back to Brandon's shenanigans. Gil asks the question, "Brandon, did you order the Code Red? as referenced in the movie 'A Few Good Men.' Stay tuned for further updates...because there are a lot of updates coming.
