Wyatt Matters

This week starts with a customer who eats two entire pizzas… then demands a full refund. The crew has plenty of laughs, but the story quickly turns into a bigger conversation about entitlement, personal responsibility, and why some people simply refuse to accept the word "no." Then the focus shifts to the New York Knicks' remarkable playoff run after decades of disappointment. Their perseverance r...

"Never quit."   It's one of the most popular pieces of advice you'll ever hear.   This week, Wyatt Matters asks whether that's always true.   From a wildly impractical road trip across Africa to a woman who spent years chasing a driver's license she probably shouldn't have received, the crew explores stories of determination that crossed into something else entirely.   Then the focus turns to form...

This week starts with a hilarious look at “Jetway Jesus”... those passengers who need a wheelchair to board a plane but somehow experience a miraculous recovery before reaching baggage claim. Then the crew takes aim at one of the internet’s most annoying trends: vague-posting, sadfishing, rage-baiting, and the endless search for attention online. Why do people post cryptic messages that say everyt...

In this Best of Wyatt Matters episode, Steve and the crew revisit one of the most relatable human temptations: revenge.

From wild conspiracy spirals and apocalypse prep to mystery drones, UFO panic, and people ma...

This week kicks off with a story that’s equal parts hilarious and uncomfortable—a pastor turns a simple lunch prayer into a full public spectacle. What should’ve been a quiet moment with God becomes a performance for everyone else. It lands the joke, but exposes a bigger issue: how often faith gets turned into something it was never meant to be. Then the show pivots into pure absurdity, with a vir...

The front half of this show is pure absurdity: Pac-Man perfection, giant twine balls, ear-hair records, plane-eating weirdos, and a pig-chasing robot with zero emotion and no sense of purpose. But that absurdity sets up the real issue: people give their lives to all kinds of things that ultimately can’t carry the weight. Then Steve turns the conversation toward faith. What happens when someone tru...

This week’s show opens with three unbelievable real-world scenarios that all start the same way: trapped, alone, and out of options. Astronauts lose all communication on the far side of the moon.

Each story looks hopeless… until rescue shows up. T...

Then Steve turns the spotlight inward. Why does culture insist wrongdoing i...

But then the mirror turns inward. Host Steve...

What do Guinness World Records, Instagram filters, LinkedIn job titles, and Sean “Puff Daddy / P Diddy / Brother Love” Combs all have in common? Labels. And our obsession with them.

From fake filters to fake reinventions, the conversation exposes h...
