Welcome back to What the Hales - The podcast! After I discuss the wild divisional weekend, I dive into my personal ranking of Taylor Swift's Fearless (2008 and TV). This album really jump started my love of Taylor Swift. I hope you agree with me, but I also welcome any discourse.

Ep. 10 - Remember the Titans

It's finally here. My favorite sports movie. The best sports movies. It's Remember the Titans (2000). Wilson Sporting Reviews has been waiting for this moment since the beginning.

WSR Ep.9 - Glory Road

It's that time again. It's college basketball season, and naturally, I discussed a college basketball movie I didn't know existed: Glory Road. This 2006 film covers the 1965-66 Texas Western College men's basketball team that was the underdog of the year. A movie about teamwork, race relations, and just great basketball. Give it a listen to maybe learn somethings about how we got to where we are today.

WSR Ep.8 - A League of Their Own

It's about time for some women's representation, isn't it? This week on Wilson's Sporting Reviews I cover a truly great movie A League of Their Own. Surprisingly enough, I do enjoy the baseball in this movie. I will say I do have many side notes and soap box moments in this episode. I am very passionate about women in sports, and you should be too. And please, there is not crying in baseball.

WSR Ep. 7 - Friday Night Lights

Another football movie!! Friday Night Lights, an award-winning film that I just never got around watching until right before I recorded this episode. A movie about hometown pride, Texan high school football, and team unity. Also, an acting performance from another side of Tim McGraw. Maybe since I watched the movie I will finally get around to watching the show too. Put your best cowboy hat on and give it a listen to this week's episode of Wilson Sporting Reviews.

Buckle up for the ride for this week's episode of Wilson's Sporting Reviews.

What reality show should I be on and why is it Survivor? - Ep. 9

Today, I debrief the 1D anniversary and Taylor Swifts’s big news. Sports are back. And a dive into where I wanna be in 10 years - on a television show. I have a dream of embarrassing myself on national television, so I rate my probability and ability on a range of shows. Reality shows are a guilting pleasure and I hit a bunch of them. For legal and casting reasons, this is a JOKE :)

Text FLOYD to 55156

There is a lot going on the country right now, and I feel that it is more important to talk about that than whatever stupid topic I had. Because of my viewpoint, whenever I use the word “we” or “us” it is directed towards white people. Please continue to educate yourself on systemic racism and antiracism. #BLM

It’s me, actually! - Ep. 2
