SportsGasmicIsolation Ep #2: One Glorious Week of AFL, then Chaos.As COVID-19 continues to bring our world to a halt, we keep trying to do a sports podcast in an age of no sports. Results are appropriately chaotic, even if still a lot of fun.
A first time as we have a four-person pod with Dave, Shea, Vince & Matt all on board!
- We do start with sports chat, as we briefly discuss the glorious week of Australian footy action right before hard quarantine measures truly hit Australian shores. Vince watched more than most Australians.
- Chat then moves to the more serious questions of just when will we see...
2020-04-021h 37SportsGasmicIsolation Ep. #1: Sport Stops, COVID-19 Grips, Patriots Still Dominate HeadlinesA lot has changed since we last did this. Oil is precious. Denzel is blind and carrying a bible around the wasteland. Mel Gibson is chasing criminals through the Australian outback. Tom Brady is still breaking hearts.
As the very serious COVID-19 pandemic brings the world to a grinding halt, in an SG first we get Dave, Shea and Vince all on the same pod for a social distancing FaceTime roundtable on all things sports and life over the last week and a half.
- The week since the catalyst of NBA suspension, everything that has happened in our lives...
2020-03-191h 27SportsGasmicCoronavirus & Sports, Historic Oregon Ducks, + EPL, Timbers/MLS & NBAIn a classic return to the long-ass pod days of SportsGasmic, Vince & Dave deep dive on multiple points around the sports world, taking their time unwrapping everything from the effects of Coronavirus on sports, the historic season of the Oregon Ducks sporting programs, MLS beginnings & weird/bad Timbers, NBA, & EPL.
It's a hefty one, but a good one. Settle in for a couple hours with your preferred beverage and muse on all things sports with us.
2020-03-091h 51SportsGasmicInvincible Liverpool No Longer, Pep's Future + Zion is Good & Ugly BobbleheadsShea joins Dave on a brisk Aussie Monday morning to chat everything happening in the football world, plus a brief touch of NBA before Dave has to head off for work (bloody day jobs).
- Liverpool no longer invincible after a weird weekend of footy, and Arsenal get to celebrate for the first time in a decade. The Arsenal and Liverpool fans clash over the concept of legacy vs the now.
- A deep dive into just where Manchester City are at now with the pending ban from Europe, the legacy of Pep and how long he might hang around...
2020-03-051h 08SportsGasmicMan City BREXIT, MLB Getting Dirty, Oregon Ducks Season Review w/ VinceVince is back on the SG Pod finally, and we get to mix it up with some breaking news as well as some reminiscing of the last 6 months of our sports worlds.
- Breaking hours before we recorded was the news that Man City have joined the Brexit movement, though they didn't vote for this one. UEFA have handed down a 2-year ban to the Citizens for FFP breaches - a story that will surely continue over the coming months.
- The cheating scandal in MLB won't go away, as the opposition of the Astros intensifies with high profile players...
2020-02-181h 04SportsGasmicSuper Bowl Review, Mookie Betts on LA, EPL, NBA, & Movie ChatShea & Dave back at it with their thoughts on the Super Bowl, and everything else happening in the sports world - plus our predictions for the Oscars!
- Super Bowl chat (after Shea checks his Bobblehead emails) as we discuss how the game kinda played to the formula we had predicted - for both teams.
- After some brief chat about why Goldberg has hit hard times post Mighty Ducks, we chat about the continued scandal in baseball while talking about Mookie Betts pending (at the time of recording) trade to LA.
- Some EPL chat as we talk about...
2020-02-141h 41SportsGasmicRIP Kobe Bean BryantThere is no way to summarize an episode that began within the hour of learning that Kobe Bryant had tragically passed far too soon. We were planning to record regardless, & we dive into a pod as best we can with this weighing heavy on our hearts.
- After a little bit too long of an intro by Dave, Shea & Dave crack into our reaction to the shocking news of Kobe Bryant's passing. Other names were not known at time of recording, but our equal love and heartbreak go out to Gianna Bryant, John Altobelli, Keri Altobelli, Alyssa Altobelli, Sarah Chester...
2020-01-281h 00SportsGasmicHappy Scandalous 2020 - Astros & Other ThingsAfter a month and a half off from the on-pod work, Dave & Shea are back at trying to dissect a crazy holiday period in the sports world.
The biggest news, the Astros scandal. We talk all facets - why is it different, what will it mean for baseball, what are the ramifications, and how do we feel about it.
The other big stories - the NCAA football championship, OBJ slapping asses and giving money - why neither should be worried about, but are. The Ducks end a great season on a high, and Vince meets a famous fan with Port...
2020-01-211h 14SportsGasmicMeloBlazers, Managing Loads, & MVP DoncicShea has maybe recovered from his concussion/sinus infection, & joins Dave for another week of NBA chat.
- Carmelo Anthony is back in the league - & in Portland?! We chat about the unlikely move, just how desperate the Blazers are, & if anything can even help the 19/20 iteration of a team that were conference finalists just a few months ago.
- Load management. It's a loaded term. Ayyyyy. We chat about it. And talk about why it's a mountain out of a molehill, & ya'll need to get over it.
- Luka Doncic is boss. That's it. But we talk about it...
2019-11-261h 04SportsGasmicLFC vs. City Fallout, + Title Race Update & Aussie Ladies Get $$$A big pre-international break weekend is broken down as Shea & Dave chat the fallout of Liverpool's big 3-1 win over Manchester City. Shea thinks the race is done, but Dave sees a long road ahead.
Also on the agenda:
- The fallout of the match as Sterling can't shake the mental turmoil of the events at Anfield, & deciding to crack into Gomez at England camp. Should the national team meet up so soon after such a huge club match?
- The title race is heating up, as though Liverpool have a handy gap, Leicester & Chelsea are quietly getting themselves into...
2019-11-1846 minSportsGasmicThe People vs. The NCAA, + Naughty Astros & NFL Surprises/DisappointmentsThrough concussions & summer colds, Dave & Shea battle through another week of huge US sports news.
- The NCAA hits Ohio State & Memphis hard, suspending two of the biggest stars in College Football & Basketball for financial breaches - is this legit, or just the NCAA refusing to get with the times?
- The Houston Astros downward spiral post World Series loss continues, as explosive claims about them utilising cameras & trash cans (yep, seriously) to tip pitches in the 2017 win against the Dodgers puts a potential asterisk, or worse, against their title.

2019-11-161h 04SportsGasmicNo Country for Old NBAIt's an NBA deep dive today, as Shea & Dave discuss the evolution of the NBA in the 21st century off the back of Pau Gasol's comments regarding the changes in his time as a professional.
Is the NBA turning into an immoral wild west? Losing it's purity, a world inhabited by Anton Chigurgh's. Or is Gasol (and Shea) just a Sheriff Bell, a man with good intentions who the world has simply passed by, leaving him to sip on a cup of three pointers flying over his head, unable to understand the new world he's living in?
What do you...

- Liverpool officially playing two fixtures in two days on two different continents, meaning the unprecedented event of two different squads being deployed for "first team" fixtures to be able to play the fixtures. WTF, we say.

We begin in serious mode and discuss the ridiculousness that is the continued problem of racism in football, focusing on Italy as Romelu Lukaku has to defend against both opposition and his own fans simply because of his skin colour.

We then turn our attentions to the actual on field product - where the Timbers are at this season, the battle for LA, & why Zlatan hasn't been the greatest for the league as he should. Ships then sail across the Atlantic as we hit the Premier League, with focus on our respective teams following the Liverpool 3-1 Arsenal match. We discuss the EPL, Champions League...
