We’re back with the April edition of Play-by-Play and Brice is joined by Jelinsky to break down a jam-packed month of headlines. First, we tackle the serious allegations surrounding Shannon Sharpe, his firing from ESPN, and what this could mean moving forward. Then, we shift to Sedona Prince, the disturbing allegations made by her former partners, and how it impacted her WNBA draft hopes. We also dive into the NFL Draft and Shadeur Sanders’ surprising slide out of the first round. Plus, it’s playoff season in the NBA and the intensity is off the charts! We give a full update on the physicality we’re seeing on the court, key injuries affecting stars like Jayson Tatum and Jimmy Butler, and what it could mean for their teams’ playoff hopes.

Purple Pants Podcast | Split The Vote: Mighty Mouse

Welcome back to another thought-provoking (and slightly chaotic) episode of Split the Vote! Tim and Rob are back at it, diving deep into Survivor Season 48, Episode 8: “A Rift Between All of Us.” This week, we’re not just breaking down the moves—we’re dissecting the mindset behind them. Plus, yes… we finally settle the great strawberry ice cream debate.

In This Episode:

Precision Over Flash: We’re watching a season defined by calculated control—players aren’t making flashy swings, they’re making smart ones. Tim and Rob break down how both sides are quietly positioning themselves for the cleanest path to the end, prolonging the inevitable betrayals.

Pairs and Power: This week’s immunity challenge had the castaways pairing up—so of course, we ask: who would we partner with, and why? We unpack what the choices revealed about alliances and intentions.

Chrissy vs. David: That heated tribal council moment had us clutching our buffs. Is the “strong players alliance” starting to crack under the pressure? Mary said it best—this episode was full of booms. And now the solid front is splintering.

Game Theory & Group Dynamics: From Maslow’s hierarchy of needs to whether challenge threats are really just misunderstood underdogs, we’re pulling from all the angles to make sense of how Survivor is evolving—and where this season might be headed next.

And yes… THE ICE CREAM DÉBACLE: Is strawberry ice cream a top-tier flavor or an overrated scoop of sadness? We settle it once and for all. (Kind of.)

Plus:

Is this season really about integrity, loyalty, and honor?

Moves, countermoves, and the subtle shift in alliance identity
