About this episode

🧨 The Outcast Podcast – Episode #155
“Billionaire Brawls, Busted Hooters & Bat-Torpedoes”

This week on The Outcast Podcast, your favorite trio of misfits – Gentry, Tomkat, and Memphis – are swinging for the fences with a lineup of hot topics that hit harder than an NBA elbow. We got torpedo bats, billionaires flexin’, Hooters crashin’, and a salute to one of Hollywood’s coolest cats. Let’s break it down…


Yankees Launch the Torpedo Bat

The Bronx Bombers are literally bombing now – the Yankees unveiled a controversial new “torpedo bat” during Spring Training and it’s got everyone from pitchers to purists up in arms. We debate whether this is innovation… or just another shortcut in baseball's long line of gimmicks.


🏀 March Madness Predictions

It’s that time of year when brackets break, dreams die, and one Cinderella story keeps dancing. We throw down our Final Four picks, sleeper squads, and the one team that’s absolutely going to ruin your bracket. Spoiler alert: Memphis is betting on chaos.


🧠📸 ChatGPT’s New Photo Generator

We had some fun with OpenAI’s latest trick – the ChatGPT photo generator. From AI selfies to dream vacations that never happened, we go deep into the uncanny valley. Tomkat may have created an AI version of himself as a pirate DJ. It’s weird. It’s hilarious. You’ll want to see the pics.


🥊 NBA Brawl Breaks Out

The Detroit Pistons and Minnesota Timberwolves just gave us a throwback to the 'Malice in the Palace' era with an all-out sideline scuffle. That led us to a deep dive into…

🔥 The Greatest NBA Fights of All Time

From Charles Oakley body-slams to Ron Artest going full WWE in the crowd, we reminisce on the most jaw-dropping moments when NBA players forgot they were on national TV. Let’s just say, Dennis Rodman makes more than one appearance in this conversation.


💰 Billionaire Boom – Forbes 2025 List Drops

The new Forbes Billionaires List just hit, and it’s dripping with tech moguls, fashion kings, crypto comebacks, and one or two eyebrow-raisers. We talk who’s rising, who’s falling, and how the world’s richest keep getting richer (hint: it’s not by working 9 to 5).


🪽 RIP Hooters?

Say it ain’t so! Hooters is reportedly filing for bankruptcy. The wings, the orange shorts, the awkward family dinners – gone?! We unpack how a place once considered "iconic Americana" may have become a relic of the past… and what this says about shifting cultural norms.


🎬 Val Kilmer Remembered

Lastly, we take a moment to remember the one and only Val Kilmer – from Top Gun to The Doors to Tombstone, his career left a permanent mark on film and pop culture. We reflect on his legacy, his battle with illness, and the unforgettable characters he brought to life.
