    SVP and Stanford Steve are back to recap an action-packed weekend in Philadelphia at the PGA Championship. The guys were at The Mink and got to witness a life-changing, historic performance from Aaron Rai as he won the 108th PGA Championship. Rai’s back nine is something to be celebrated by all, and his approach, demeanor and personality make the win all the more great to see. The Cavs dominated the Pistons in Game 7, and now the ECFs and WCFs are set. The pressure is still ALL on New York, and can San Antonio pull off the upset? Discussing the top storylines before the conference finals as well as what’s to come in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Plus, why you shouldn’t quadruple chicken at Royal Farms, shooters falling down vs. cutting down trees on the links, the treat that is the MNF schedule and a moment to applaud Gordo’s big weekend. | SVPod

    05/13/2026 | 1h 6 mins.
    SVP and Stanford Steve are at Aronimink in Philly to preview the PGA Championship with David “Gordo” Gordon and discuss the top storylines of the NBA and Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Thunder took care of the Lakers with ease, and the Knicks also swept the Sixers, giving SVP more and more confidence it’ll be New York in the Finals. But Steve still likes a certain team’s chances to make it. Will it be the Spurs or Wolves vs. the Thunder? The guys take a look at the series and share their thoughts on what could be the deciding factors. Plus, thoughts on the latest in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, including Carolina’s dominance, the Avs game four win, why the guys are rooting for Montreal and more. Finally, Gordo joins to give his double hammers, FRLs, winners and other prop bets ahead of the PGA Championship. Yes, there’s Patrick Cantlay hate, Cam Young love and a double hammer that disgusted the Big Man. | SVPod

    Who's the Quarterback?

    04/20/2026 | 1h 34 mins.
    SVP and Steve recap a big first weekend of the NBA and NHL Playoffs. The best thing of the past week was the Sabres claiming their first playoff win in 15 years. The guys discuss the scene in Buffalo, Monaco’s call and more. In the NBA, Wemby had a dominant game one that has many thinking the Spurs could win it all. But could they despite the postseason inexperience? SVP then shares his thoughts on the way SGA is officiated, acknowledging both sides of the argument. LeBron is still doing it at 41 and the Magic pulled off the upset in game one, but can the Lakers and Orlando do it four times? SVP also makes a bold prediction on Steve Kerr, while Stanford Steve offers a suggestion. Plus, Steve shares his hilarious experience at the Nationals game with his family, the guys give their thoughts on the Dexter Lawrence trade, SVP shares an important flag football story and Steve has a bone to pick with refs in 12 y/o 3v3 hoops. | SVPod
