Sports & The Real Sh*t

Welcome back to Sports & The Real Sh*t!"Money's the root of all evil!"Famous last words right before the offering plate comes around.Ever wonder where your bad relationship with money comes from? Why you knew so little about money growing up? Scared of making too much money and don't want to work too hard for it so that money doesn't become your "god". Why was the church always asking for my money while always reminding me that being rich is bad? Does God only like broke people?If we're being honest, for many of us who grew up in the church, we were handicapped financially by what we listened to every weekend. Instead of being pushed to prosper, we were lied to and held back - many never reaching their full potential.In this episode, I sit down with author and entrepreneur Fred Bussey to talk about the negative relationship between religion and financial prosperity, and how to overcome the lies that have kept us from achieving our financial dreams for so long.MORE FROM FRED BUSSEY (IG: fredrick.bussey):- Breaking Orbit: Rip Out of the Regular by Unearthing the Power Within- The Lie That Keeps You Broke: 30 Days to Crush Imposter Syndrome and Go From Purpose To Profit MUSIC BY: Mat JeaniusFOLLOW SPORTS & THE REAL SH*T:WEB | https://sportsandthereal.comYOUTUBE | https://youtube.com/@sportsandtherealTWITTER | https://twitter.com/sportsnrealpod TIKTOK | https://tiktok.com/@sportsandtherealpodINSTAGRAM | https://instagram.com/sportsandtherealpodSPOTIFY | https://open.spotify.com/show/5JQU9z0bLGxemMDjEQqRWiAPPLE PODCASTS | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sports-the-real-sh*t/id1672872510

Welcome back to Sports & The Real Sh*t!The CFP Championship is here. Do the Hurricanes have a chance against Indiana? But before we get there - why does Oregon always get blown out in big games? Why did Ole Miss make the Hurricanes' offense look unstoppable? In the NFL Playoffs, the Eagles go out sad to the Niners. Who's really to blame for the defending champs going out in the Wildcard round? Trevor Lawrence and the Jags look bad in the playoffs again. How many more chances does he get to prove himself?Meanwhile, John Harbaugh got fired and Mike Tomlin quit. Will Ravens and Steelers fans regret kicking them out? Mike McDaniel also got fired by the Dolphins.

Welcome back to Sports & The Real Sh*t!The quarterfinals of the College Football Playoffs were terrible for the most part. Alabama gets embarrassed, Texas Tech was overrated, and Ryan Day and Ohio State choked again. The one positive? Trinidad Chambliss balled out against UGA. Is he actually the best QB in college football?Meanwhile, the NFL playoffs are about to start. But before we get there, I had to address the people praying on Lamar Jackson's downfall. Why so much hate for Lamar when he's been one of the best players in the NFL and carried the Ravens in recent years? Has any serious person spoken negatively about Lamar or did we fall for the bait?In the NBA, the Detroit Pistons are looking like the best team in the Eastern Conference. Someone predicted this would happen a few years ago when they were in the middle of a 29-game losing streak. In this episode, I recap the CFP Quarterfinals, preview the first round of the NFL playoffs, and tell you why the Pistons are on their way to the NBA Finals.Tap In! KEY HIGHLIGHTS:- Ryan Day and John Calipari are the same- Fernando Mendoza trying to be like Tim Tebow - Trinidad Chambliss needs to go pro NOW- Can't blame Lamar Jackson for the Ravens- NFL Playoffs predictions- I warned y'all about the Pistons 2 years agoMUSIC BY: Mat JeaniusFOLLOW SPORTS & THE REAL SH*T:WEB | https://sportsandthereal.tvYOUTUBE: https://youtube.com/@sportsandtherealTWITTER | https://twitter.com/sportsnrealpod TIKTOK | https://tiktok.com/@sportsandtherealpodINSTAGRAM | https://instagram.com/sportsandtherealpodSPOTIFY | https://open.spotify.com/show/5JQU9z0bLGxemMDjEQqRWiAPPLE PODCASTS | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sports-the-real-sh*t/id1672872510

Welcome back to Sports & The Real Sh*t!I've been saying that Nikola Jokic is the best player in the NBA for a while now. But after watching the Timberwolves against the Thunder, my eyes are telling that it's actually Anthony Edwards...at least it should be. How can the Ant Man avoid the Vince Carter/Randy Moss label?In the NFL, the Jags make a statement against the Broncos. Are they the best team in the AFC? The Seahawks beat the Rams who are favored to win the Super Bowl. Should they be the new favorites?The College Football Playoffs started with a big-time comeback by Alabama. But I can't help but wonder if there were other teams who could've done better against Oregon and Ole Miss than James Madison and Tulane.In this episode, I talk CFP predictions, the real NFL power rankings, Shedeur Sanders causing extreme opinions, and what Anthony Edwards and Randy Moss have in common.Tap in now! MUSIC BY: Mat JeaniusFOLLOW SPORTS & THE REAL SH*T:WEB | https://sportsandthereal.tvYOUTUBE: https://youtube.com/@sportsandtherealTWITTER | https://twitter.com/sportsnrealpod TIKTOK | https://tiktok.com/@sportsandtherealpodINSTAGRAM | https://instagram.com/sportsandtherealpodSPOTIFY | https://open.spotify.com/show/5JQU9z0bLGxemMDjEQqRWiAPPLE PODCASTS | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sports-the-real-sh*t/id1672872510

Welcome back to Sports & The Real Sh*t!The College Football Playoffs are here. An annual reminder that the rules are different for Alabama. Notre Dame had to learn that the hard way. No matter their record or what anyone else does, they will always be in the CFP. In the NFL, I'm wondering if the Chiefs' dynasty is over and you know your season is over when you're working out a quarterback who's been retired for 5 years like the Colts are doing with Philip Rivers.But the biggest news might be from the NBA where Chris Paul got sent home for beefing with Tye Lue and LeBron's streak of 10+ point games ended. Both greats, and both are going out sad in their own way. As they say, it's better to leave early than to get kicked out (or something like that).Tap in!KEY HIGHLIGHTS:- Chris Paul living up to his reputation- Cooper Flagg has to be an all-NBA player- LeBron sucks at telling the truth- Notre Dame can blame SECSPN - Chiefs dynasty over?MUSIC BY: Mat JeaniusFOLLOW SPORTS & THE REAL SH*T:WEB | https://sportsandthereal.tvYOUTUBE: https://youtube.com/@sportsandtherealTWITTER | https://twitter.com/sportsnrealpod TIKTOK | https://tiktok.com/@sportsandtherealpodINSTAGRAM | https://instagram.com/sportsandtherealpodSPOTIFY | https://open.spotify.com/show/5JQU9z0bLGxemMDjEQqRWiAPPLE PODCASTS | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sports-the-real-sh*t/id1672872510

Welcome back to Sports & The Real Sh*t!The system is rigged! The people in power get to break the rules so they can keep all the money. Meanwhile, the rest of us have to figure out how to survive in an environment that's made to keep us broke.  In this installment of #moneytalks, my guest, Rick Webster, and I talk about the different ways we can build a path to financial wellness and wealth despite the economy and rising costs of living and all the other factors working against us. Rick is the owner and CEO of Renafi, a financial wellness coaching firm focusing on those living with ADHD. Having lived with ADHD himself, he knows the specific challenges that this community faces with money management. Whether you're struggling with ADHD or not (we all might be), here's how you can win in a system that's set up for you to lose.Tap in!KEY HIGHLIGHTS:- ADHD might be the reason you're broke- Is investing in stocks worth it?- Basic strategies for growing your money- The lies about using cash vs. card- Why renting is always more expensive than buyingMUSIC BY: Mat JeaniusCONNECT WITH RICK:https://www.renafi.com/FOLLOW SPORTS & THE REAL SH*T:WEB | https://sportsandthereal.tvYOUTUBE | https://youtube.com/@sportsandtherealTWITTER | https://twitter.com/sportsnrealpod TIKTOK | https://tiktok.com/@sportsandtherealpodINSTAGRAM | https://instagram.com/sportsandtherealpodSPOTIFY | https://open.spotify.com/show/5JQU9z0bLGxemMDjEQqRWiAPPLE PODCASTS | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sports-the-real-sh*t/id1672872510

Welcome back to Sports & The Real Sh*t!Alabama lost to Oklahoma, which means that they're one step closer to not making the College Football Playoffs. Can Kalen DeBoer survive not making the playoffs?In the NFL, the Browns finally had to play Shedeur...and he looked awful. Is he that bad for real or does Kevin Stefanski hate him?And in the NBA, Nikola Jokic is putting up historical numbers, and some people in NBA media think they're better than Hakeem's numbers. So, I had to remind them who the Dream was and why the Joker will never touch his numbers.KEY HIGHLIGHTS:- Nick Saban knew what was coming for Alabama- Terrible Heisman candidates (again)- Shedeur Sanders can't play and his coach hates him- NFL teams praying the Chiefs don't make the playoffs- Nico Harrison is the scapegoat in Dallas- Zion Williamson getting Willie Green fired- Stop disrespecting Hakeem Olajuwon MUSIC BY: Mat JeaniusFOLLOW SPORTS & THE REAL SH*T:WEB | www.sportsandthereal.tvYOUTUBE | https://youtube.com/@sportsandtherealTWITTER | https://twitter.com/sportsnrealpod TIKTOK | https://tiktok.com/@sportsandtherealpodINSTAGRAM | https://instagram.com/sportsandtherealpodSPOTIFY | https://open.spotify.com/show/5JQU9z0bLGxemMDjEQqRWiAPPLE PODCASTS | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sports-the-real-sh*t/id1672872510

Welcome back to Sports & The Real Sh*t!The college football season is winding down and I have no clue who's going to win the Heisman. Is it one of the quarterbacks: Fernando Mendoza, Julian Sayin or Ty Simpson or someone else?The NFL is giving me big-time trust issues. The Bills beat the Chiefs last week and get ran through by the Dolphins this week. The Packers go between Super Bowl contenders and bums every other game. The Chiefs can be trusted, but they might not even make the playoffs.In the NBA, the Rookie of the Year is pretty much set at this point and it's not Cooper Flagg. Also, is Joel Embiid now a third wheel in the Sixers offense?KEY HIGHLIGHTS:- Who's the real Heisman favorite?- Why Jonathan Taylor is the MVP- Which NFL teams can I trust- VJ Edgecombe balling out of controlMUSIC BY: Mat JeaniusFOLLOW SPORTS & THE REAL SH*T:WEB | www.sportsandthereal.comYOUTUBE | https://youtube.com/@sportsandtherealTWITTER | https://twitter.com/sportsnrealpod TIKTOK | https://tiktok.com/@sportsandtherealpodINSTAGRAM | https://instagram.com/sportsandtherealpodSPOTIFY | https://open.spotify.com/show/5JQU9z0bLGxemMDjEQqRWiAPPLE PODCASTS | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sports-the-real-sh*t/id1672872510

Welcome back to Sports & The Real Sh*t!The NBA gambling scandal involving Chauncey Billups, Damon Jones and Terry Rozier dominated the sports headlines. But with all the talk going on, is anything going to change? Can fans actually trust that the games aren't rigged? Does it even matter?In other news, former NFL players acting up or dying young because of the effects of playing football for so long has become so common that most fans don't really react to any news anymore. So, with Doug Martin dying in police custody, it brings me back to the internal conflict I have when watching football.Plus, I get into Cooper Flagg almost being called a bust already, Mike Tomlin being on the hotseat again, and Shedeur Sanders needs to start warming up.Let's get it!KEY HIGHLIGHTS:- Do we really care when NFL players die? - NBA owners don't give a damn about gambling scandals- Cooper Flagg was almost bust after one game- Mike Tomlin is out of excuses- Shedeur Sanders is the Browns' only hopeMUSIC BY: Mat JeaniusFOLLOW SPORTS & THE REAL SH*T:WEB | www.sportsandthereal.tvYOUTUBE | https://youtube.com/@sportsandtherealTWITTER | https://twitter.com/sportsnrealpod TIKTOK | https://tiktok.com/@sportsandtherealpodINSTAGRAM | https://instagram.com/sportsandtherealpodSPOTIFY | https://open.spotify.com/show/5JQU9z0bLGxemMDjEQqRWiAPPLE PODCASTS | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sports-the-real-sh*t/id1672872510

Welcome back to Sports & The Real Sh*t!The World Series are about to start. And since the Dodgers are back in it, I had to ask the question - why isn't everyone upset that the Dodgers are buying chips like they did when the Yankees were doing it?  In college football, Ohio State is clearly the team to beat. Can we count on Ryan Day to not mess things up? Also, when did the SEC turn into the BIG 12?Finally, in the NFL, it's time to admit that the Colts are one of the top teams in the AFC, and we should all get ready for Daniel Jones to be in the Championship game. KEY HIGHLIGHTS:- Dodgers are the new evil empire- Ohio St. has to win it all- What happened to defense in the SEC?- Is Mario Cristobal holding back the Hurricanes?- Will Mike Norvell follow Billy Napier?- Josh McDaniels got me confused- Can the Colts win the AFC?- Who let the Chiefs get all these fast receivers?- Tua sucks and Justin Fields is worseTap in!MUSIC BY: Mat JeaniusFOLLOW SPORTS & THE REAL SH*T:WEB | www.sportsandthereal.tvYOUTUBE |  https://youtube.com/@sportsandtherealTWITTER | https://twitter.com/sportsnrealpod TIKTOK | https://tiktok.com/@sportsandtherealpodINSTAGRAM | https://instagram.com/sportsandtherealpodSPOTIFY | https://open.spotify.com/show/5JQU9z0bLGxemMDjEQqRWiAPPLE PODCASTS | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sports-the-real-sh*t/id1672872510

In college, James Franklin gets fired from Penn State. Mike Norvell won't get fired by Florida State, but he should. In the NFL, Brian Callahan is out as the Titans coach, and Mike McDaniel is on his last legs with the Dolphins.Meanwhile, before the NBA season gets started, I'm wondering how in the world can a coach win with the Charlotte Hornets when LaMelo is your best player or the Brooklyn Nets when you have no players. Also, can anyone really challenge OKC this year?In this episode, I recap the headlines from this weekend in college football and the NFL and tell you what to look out for as the NBA season kicks off in a week.KEY HIGHLIGHTS:James Franklin gets paid to go homeMike Norvell & FSU are fraudsEagles' Defense SucksMike Vrabel vs. Brian Callahan vs. Mike McDanielHornets can't win with LaMeloKnicks the best team in the East?Nuggets can challenge OKCWarriors too oldRockets looking stackedWemby for real or just a side show?MUSIC BY: Mat JeaniusFOLLOW SPORTS & THE REAL SH*T:WEBSITE: WWW.SPORTSANDTHEREAL.TVYOUTUBE: https://youtube.com/@sportsandtherealTWITTER | https://twitter.com/sportsnrealpod TIKTOK | https://tiktok.com/@sportsandtherealpodINSTAGRAM | https://instagram.com/sportsandtherealpodSPOTIFY | https://open.spotify.com/show/5JQU9z0bLGxemMDjEQqRWiAPPLE PODCASTS | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sports-the-real-sh*t/id1672872510

As a kid, what’s better than running around with your friends, no parents in sight, just playing for the love of the game?  But these days, it’s a different story. For a lot of kids, sports feel more like a job than a game. It’s endless practices, drills, and pressure-filled games with crowds yelling before they even know what they’re doing. The youth sports scene in the U.S. is broken. It’s all about the money now. What used to be a tool to help kids develop athletic and life skills is gone and nobody’s really talking about it.  That’s why I’m sitting down with Summer Montabone—a former D1 track star turned pro athlete, teacher, elite trainer, best-selling author, and mindset coach. We’re keeping it real about what’s gone wrong with youth sports, how the right coaching can actually make it fun again, and the unique challenges girls face in the game.  Summer also drops some gems on how we can set ourselves (and our kids) up for success—not just in sports, but in life.  MORE FROM SUMMER:WEB: https://summermontabone.com/FAACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/summer.stevenhagenmontaboneINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/summermontabone/BEST-SELLING MINDSET WORKBOOKS: https://summermontabone.com/mindset-workbooksMUSIC BY: Mat JeaniusFOLLOW SPORTS & THE REAL SH*T:YOUTUBE: https://youtube.com/@sportsandtherealTWITTER | https://twitter.com/sportsnrealpod TIKTOK | https://tiktok.com/@sportsandtherealpodINSTAGRAM | https://instagram.com/sportsandtherealpodSPOTIFY | https://open.spotify.com/show/5JQU9z0bLGxemMDjEQqRWiAPPLE PODCASTS | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sports-the-real-sh*t/id1672872510

Essentially, from the time we leave diapers, men are told they're not allowed to cry anymore. It's a sign of weakness. Carry the world on your back, but never let anyone know how heavy the load is. As a result, we end up growing into emotionally unavailable adults, with many reverting to unhealthy habits to deal with internal demons.In this episode, I talk to mental health coach, Nicole Harmony, who's helping men become the best versions of themselves by letting go of the pain they've had to carry alone since they were a boy.FOLLOW NICOLE:WEB: www.nicoleharmony.comLINKTREE: https://linktr.ee/NicoleharmonyThe RISE of the Masculine Private Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/874259460674869/?ref=share&mibextid=S66gvFIGNITE the Feminine Fire Within Private Facebook Group https://m.facebook.com/groups/1161418314661800/?ref=shareRESOURCES REFERENCED: The Way of the Superior Man by David DeidaMUSIC BY: Mat JeaniusFOLLOW SPORTS & THE REAL SH*T:YOUTUBE: https://youtube.com/@sportsandtherealTWITTER | https://twitter.com/sportsnrealpod TIKTOK | https://tiktok.com/@sportsandtherealpodINSTAGRAM | https://instagram.com/sportsandtherealpodSPOTIFY | https://open.spotify.com/show/5JQU9z0bLGxemMDjEQqRWiAPPLE PODCASTS | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sports-the-real-sh*t/id1672872510

But his comments from a few weeks ago about 90's players not being skilled had me feeling some type of way. Maybe he was just trolling. Either way, I had to respond on behalf of old heads everywhere.Meanwhile, the NFL is back and I've got some takes to get off. Like, why do I feel like Lamar Jackson is turning into the James Harden of the NFL? Or does Joe Burrow really deserve to be in top 5 conversations?On a more important note, the news in recent days is filled with talk that sounds familiar to a lot of what I heard growing up. I usually try to avoid political talk,  and lies about Haitian immigrants eating cats is nothing new, but since a presidential candidate wants to use that as a talking point to get votes, I had to say something. KEY HIGHLIGHTS:2:48 - Haitians eating cats is old (and fake) news22:24 - Tyreek Hill is right and wrong when getting a ticket31:18 - Anthony Edwards is looking for attention?1:08:26 - Lamar Jackson is under the most pressure in the NFL this seasonMUSIC BY: Mat JeaniusFOLLOW SPORTS & THE REAL SH*T:YOUTUBE: https://youtube.com/@sportsandtherealTWITTER | https://twitter.com/sportsnrealpod TIKTOK | https://tiktok.com/@sportsandtherealpodINSTAGRAM | https://instagram.com/sportsandtherealpodSPOTIFY | https://open.spotify.com/show/5JQU9z0bLGxemMDjEQqRWiAPPLE PODCASTS | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sports-the-real-sh*t/id1672872510

Noah Lyles backed up his talk and then didn't. And then we find out he's jealous and just starving for attention.While all the other action is going, the main attraction, at least for hoop heads, was in the gym. Watching the US legends, Bron, KD, and Steph win gold together was crazy. In this episode, I talk about why the NBA champs are right to be considered world champions, more evidence for why Euros are taking over the NBA, and why the Dream Team is still the greatest team ever.KEY HIGHLIGHTS:12:16 - Olympics basketball was more interesting than the NBA20:22 - Dennis Shroeder and low IQ basketball27:48 - Why are all the generational talents coming from Europe38:33 - The Dream Team would smack the AvengersMUSIC BY: Mat JeaniusFOLLOW SPORTS & THE REAL SH*T:YOUTUBE: https://youtube.com/@sportsandtherealTWITTER | https://twitter.com/sportsnrealpod TIKTOK | https://tiktok.com/@sportsandtherealpodINSTAGRAM | https://instagram.com/sportsandtherealpodSPOTIFY | https://open.spotify.com/show/5JQU9z0bLGxemMDjEQqRWiAPPLE PODCASTS | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sports-the-real-sh*t/id1672872510
