Accidents happen. Some are worse than others. For a creative, a total computer crash is not great—especially when under a heavy deadline.
Scott & A talk about how we dealt with it during the final weeks of Scott’s active deadline for SLAY. What plans and procedures did we already have in place that let us keep writing? What did we miss that hurt us? What should you do to protect your priceless work?
Pro tip: no matter how you back up — be sure to back up. Even just a flash drive separate from your computer can help.

SLICES: An interview with author Andrew Givler

When the new golf start-up LIV appeared on the scene in 2022, it really upended the very polished and traditional golf world. A smaller course, teams, and even theme music.   
This is really a story about what happens when a hundred-year-old institution collides with unlimited money. At least for a while. 
Scott & A chat about the changes and what’s next.

SLICES: Golf Civil War!

On this episode, we look at the recent NFL Collusion scandal, where the NFL Players Association filed a grievance, basically saying:
“Hey, we think owners are quietly working together to limit guaranteed contracts.”
So did NFL owners secretly agree not to pay players?
The careful answer is:
The arbitrator reportedly found the league encouraged owners to reduce guaranteed contracts…
…but ruled there wasn’t enough evidence proving coordinated collusion between teams.
We chat all about it.

SLICES: The Changes to This Feed

Join hosts Scott and ARealGirl Herself as they pull back the curtain on one of the most theatrical nights in television: the NFL Draft. If you’ve ever felt like the draft was a "members-only" club where you didn't know the password, this episode is for you. We’re stripping away the jargon to explain the fundamental mechanics of how teams actually select players and why a bunch of people in suits making phone calls is unexpectedly gripping.
Is it worth watching live? Absolutely. We discuss why the draft is essentially the world’s highest-stakes reality show. You don’t need to know a single stat to appreciate the pure human drama of life-changing moments, heart-wrenching slides, and the strategic "chess match" playing out in real-time. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or just here for the outfits and the tension, we’ll give you the confidence to enjoy every minute of the spectacle.

SLICES: How Does the NFL Draft Actually Work?

The term "Chaos Night" isn't just hyperbole—it’s the moment months of mock drafts collide with the cold, unpredictable reality of NFL war rooms. With Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza locked in at No. 1, the calm ends the second his name is called. Because there is only one "sure-thing" QB this year, the desperation in Pittsburgh is reaching a boiling point.
Whether you've been following every trade or you're just joining us for the ride, Scott and ARealGirl Herself are here to guide you through the madness. They’ll pull back the curtain on how a single phone call can turn the entire league upside down, breaking down the "why" behind the sudden trades and shocking picks in a way that makes sense—even if you don't know a blitz from a lateral.
Expect the unexpected as they explain how "sure things" start to slide and why certain teams are suddenly willing to bet it all on a single moment. It’s about more than just stats; it’s about the drama and the life-changing shifts that happen when the clock starts ticking. Tune in to see how the future of the league is reshaped in real-time, and let us handle the heavy lifting of the X's and O's.
