RSL's Harsh Reality, Mammoth on the World Stage & Gaming Goodness
05/18/25 • 33 min
In this week’s spelunk into The Matt Cave, the optimism surrounding Real Salt Lake has evaporated. Matt breaks down a rough two-game stretch, the scoring crisis plaguing the team, and the looming shadow of a rebuild that may be inevitable—yes, even involving Diego Luna.
Then it's off to the IIHF World Championship, where Utah Mammoth players are repping the USA, Canada, and Czechia with pride (and some serious stats). What does it mean for the club and the future?
Plus: a loaded dive into the world of video games. MLB The Show 25 gets dissected from "Road to the Show" to franchise mode quirks, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 earns a glowing 10/10, and Bungie once again finds itself in controversy—this time over alleged art theft in Marathon.
No fluff, no filler—just another real one from The Matt Cave.

Rigged: The NBA’s Big Market Fix is Alive and Well
No intro music. No jokes. Just fire.
Matt breaks down the 2025 NBA Draft Lottery disaster—where the Jazz fell to 5th despite having the best odds—while Dallas, San Antonio, and Philly magically rose to the top.
He exposes the patterns, the hypocrisy, and the league’s blatant disrespect for small-market teams.
If you still believe the NBA Lottery is fair after this episode, you’re not paying attention.
