    Kyle Shurtz Joins the Show to Discuss the Intersection of Marketing and Utah Sports
    Oct 23 2025
    We have a very special guest on the show today - Kyle Shurtz of Avalaunch Media! Kyle has an incredible perspective on Utah sports for a few reasons: he was born and raised in Utah, has decades of marketing experience, and loves sports.

    On the show, we discuss Kyle's perspective on Smith Entertainment Group's strategy with the Mammoth, the progress we've seen with the Jazz, and his thoughts on the Holy War Game. (we recorded before the game, so we'll see if his score prediction is close!)

  • The Best NFL Players from Utah + BYU

    The Best NFL Players from Utah + BYU
    Oct 16 2025
    Utah might not be the first place people think of when it comes to NFL factories — but the Beehive State has quietly produced some of the league’s most respected stars. From BYU icons like Steve Young and Fred Warner to Utah greats like Eric Weddle, Alex Smith, and Julian Blackmon, this episode celebrates the gridiron legends who’ve carried Utah’s toughness, discipline, and underdog spirit to the biggest stage in football.

    We’ll rewind through generations — from Lavell Edwards’ BYU offenses that rewrote college football, to Kyle Whittingham’s relentless defensive culture at Utah that’s turned out pros for decades. You’ll hear the stories, the stats, and the moments that made Utah football a pipeline for NFL success — plus a few names who don’t always get the love they deserve.

  • The Best and Worst Draft Picks in Utah Jazz History: Where Will Ace Bailey Land?

    The Best and Worst Draft Picks in Utah Jazz History: Where Will Ace Bailey Land?
    Oct 14 2025
    Every Jazz fan has a draft they still dream about — or one they still can’t forgive. From the nights that built legends to the ones that broke hearts, this episode dives deep into the Utah Jazz’s biggest hits, misses, and what-ifs. We’ll revisit how back-to-back drafts of John Stockton and Karl Malone in the mid-80s set the tone for two decades of dominance — and how later misfires like Luther Wright, Raul Lopez, Trey Burke, and Dante Exum sent the franchise searching for its next cornerstone.

    We’ll also trace the comeback — how smart scouting brought Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell to Salt Lake, and how Danny Ainge’s modern draft strategy with Keyonte George, Taylor Hendricks, and Ace Bailey could be laying the foundation for the Jazz’s next great era.

    Follow along as we relive the rollercoaster of Utah’s draft history — from “how did we get this guy?” to “how did we miss that one?” If you like the content, connect with us on X, TikTok, and Instagram, and don’t forget — ratings and reviews are the best way to help the show grow.
