Business On Top

The BOT boys are back as they break down the latest scandal plaguing the NBA and Chauncey Billups's arrest and how it may affect his status as a Knicks legend. Plus, a World Series that no one asked for but Shane is ready for.

The boys are back in town. First podcast of 2025 and the 6th calendar year that we have been on the air. Shane, Vijay, and Ben get caught up to date, discuss the year so far, and lay out some well intentioned plans for the show's future. Plus, the group dissects the Knicks' failure in Game One of the Eastern Conference Finals and Ben plans a boat trip.

BOT is back from Summer Vacation and taking the listeners to school recapping the beautiful, incredible, and weird from Summer 2K24. The Panthers are the Stanley Cup Champions, Shane went to Japan, and Ben is stoked for the return of football, including but not limited to the new NCAA Football game. Vijay has a big (somewhat related) reveal.

BOT talks about the awkward Shota Imanaga photograph with Chicago Sky players, the long awaited departure of Angel Hernandez, and the fallout from Shane running the Cleveland Half Marathon. Also, the trio discusses the saga of $GME GameStop stock and Roaring Kitty's return.

It took 110 attempts but BOT finally made a completely sports-free episode! Vijay talks about a strange Uber ride that he had and the crew compares Uber ratings. Find out who has the highest! Plus, Shane goes through his Hurricane Preparedness kit in the closet in the studio and does not want the show to end even though Vijay and Ben do.

Ben, Vijay, and Shane discuss the downfall of Shohei Ohtani's interpreter and the investigation around the alleged gambling and theft from the MLB star. Also, what are the stories behind some of the best autographs you got as a kid?

Ben begins the show with a venting session about transitioning into a new house. Vijay tells the story of the previous owners of his house leaving the carpet and the house smelling like pee. Shane breaks the news of Taco Bell's new cantina chicken menu (the chicken taco has been approved). Has a position in sports been devalued quite like the NFL running back over the last 20 years?

BOT talks with baseball lifer Andres Acosta with the LA Dodgers about his career path and some of the stuff he's seen over the years working for various MLB teams. Also, we break down this year's Super Bowl. We are in no way saying anything bad about Swifties for winning a Super Bowl in their first year caring about sports.

BOT is better late than never. The boys break down the top 4 gifts they've ever received, and go around the NFL. Shane may or may not have been right about the Eagles fooling everyone.

In the first pod of 2024, the boys are back and recap new year's celebrations. Ben, Vijay, and Shane brainstorm some content and debate whether they would rather have the Stanley Cup or a Stanley cup. Also, the infamous "how much money did BOT spend on T Bell" segment, as well as a breakdown of the Knicks trade for OG Anunoby. Vijay seems to have nailed this take.

It's your Christmas Special for BOT! The group talks about the holiday season and basks in the Christmas spirit with a game of Get In Here. Also, we contemplate some classic PS2 games in the spirit of Shane looking for an original PS2 on Facebook Marketplace, and discuss Shohei Ohtani's move to the Dodgers for about 10 seconds. Vijay and Shane get transported back to UF improv class briefly as wel...

The crew may still be hungover from the Epsiode 100 celebration. The BOT boys try to guess what the world's busiest airport is, as Vijay vents about TSA and a missed flight. Also, the NFL's biggest surprises and disappointments at this point in the season.

The boys rejoice in the glory of completing 100 episodes of the podcast after 3+ years of Kart, Pods, and T-Bell. Ben, Vijay and Shane break their arms patting themselves on the back so hard for a job well done, read reviews of the show, and look back on some of their favorite moments. Then, paid celebrities(?) congratulate BOT on completing 100 episodes. Some are better than others.

Not even a total tech breakdown could keep us from coming back. The long awaited return of Business On Top. The group discusses the same thing everyone seems to be talking about these days: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce and break down the Jets start to the season. Also, South Florida Sports correspondent Steven Rowe is in and we talk about what a year it has been in the region. Finally, Shane comm...

The boys are back and are ready to talk football even though football hasn't started yet. We also break down a weird story from Italy, discuss the Kevin Brown controversy in Baltimore, and professor Vijay is back with an Urban Dictionary of the day. Class is in session!

Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay is transporting a whale across the country. Is he trying to prove a point? Also, Shane issues a statement about the Mets on behalf of all Mets fans. Finally, we debate the morality of buying and flipping concert tickets. Shane has boomers in his crosshairs.

On this week's edition of Business On Top, the crew debates the top Mikes, Sams, and Wills (just listen, it will make sense) and weighs whether running backs are going extinct. The Atlanta Braves are also a publicly traded company now, and what is going on at the Congressional UFO hearings?! Also, why do people care so much about the t-shirt toss? Finally, High Interest Rate Savings Accounts!!!

The guys recap the MLB All Star Game, look at the curious case of Shohei Ohtani, and explain their captivation with immaculate grid. They play a game of Immaculate Gridiron (NFL) and wonder why the website's name is so dirty (Dynasty Daddy? Really?). The boys also break down Lionel Messi's improbable signing with Inter Miami, and we get Ben's top 4 Florida things to introduce to the GOAT.

The gang is one step closer to Episode 100. We captured some content at the College World Series in Omaha, and Shane is not tolerating any Midwest slander from the rest of the group. What are some of the most common constructive criticisms about the show? Also, we go down a Blockbuster rabbit hole (why do they still have a Twitter account?) and Vijay has a plan to return the company to relevance....

The Florida Panthers are back in the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 1996. The crew talks the Cinderella run and debates whether South Florida fans are front runners, or part of a bigger trend. Also, peanut butter is considered a liquid?! And how the hell did Stetson Bennett play 6 seasons in college and still not graduate?

The show starts just as the NFL schedule Release drops and there are some thoughts about the Jets. In addition, Shane had one of the most memorable playoff watching experiences of all time with an unexpected famous person and gets grilled by Vijay and Ben about it. Plus, are we scared of AI yet? We bring back the unofficial 4th member of the show, who is unwilling to call us handsome.

The show is in a sugar crash after doing a blindfolded candy test taste. BOT takes a look at the big news in baseball and recalls dumb classes that cost real money in college. Plus, Vijay, Ben, and Shane look forward to episode 100, and the 4 for 4 x 4.

BOT contemplates just how the heck it ended up 10 episodes away from 100.
