    The Biscuit Show Ep. 10 - The Two-Time Biscuit-Getter Club

    What's better than getting biscuits once? Getting biscuits twice! (Jeez, Jackson, that's lazy writing) Now ranked #4 in the country, the Tar Heels are rolling! If you dare, listen to Jackson describe his takeaways from a tough three-game stretch at some of the most challenging road venues in the ACC. Also in this week's episode, Jackson welcomes James Okonkwo to the two-time biscuit-getter club, one that is (almost) as rare as a retired jersey, yet just as memorable (ok, I made that up). Lastly, Jackson tells the captivating story of his first, and only, career start against Duke... a moment for the ages. Enjoy!

    The Biscuit Show Ep. 9 - The Brady Bowl

    Merry Christmas to all! In this week's episode, Jackson highlights the Tar Heels' most recent games: the historic Blue Blood matchup against Kentucky and "The Brady Bowl" game against Oklahoma. Will that nickname stick for this matchup? Only time will tell. In the Q&A segment, Jackson describes his harrowing journey from the long-standing UNC JV Basketball team, to the UNC Women's Basketball scout team, and finally to the UNC Varsity Basketball team. It's a story for the ages. Also discussed are Kentucky taunts from my aunt, JV hoop mixtapes (the receiving end, mind you), and playing basketball in the clouds. Enjoy!

    The Biscuit Show Ep. 8 - The Legend of Brady Manek

    It's a bird! It's a plane! No! It's Brady Manek! That's right, ladies and gents, the bearded mythical creature lives on. Today, on this special #ManekMonday, Brady joins the podcast to update everyone on where he's been and what he's been doing since the magical 2022 March Madness run, reminisce on said run, and share his thoughts on the Tar Heels' most recent game in MSG. Besides that, there's also some talk about flying squirrels, nachos, and sunroofs. It's a fun one you won't want to miss!

    The Biscuit Show Ep. 7 - Biscuits? On a Wednesday?

    Has the Biscuit Boy been dethroned? Will Jackson pass the torch to his successor? Or, with a white-knuckled grip, will he fail to let go of his one-and-only claim to fame? You'll have to listen to find out. In this week's episode, the two-time biscuit-getter discusses the marvels of North Carolina's two wins last week and the unique thrills that came with each. He previews the upcoming bout at Madison Square Garden, making sure to tell his own story about playing in the arena that some consider the Mecca of basketball, a story that somehow involves a left buttcheek? Hope you enjoy!

    The Biscuit Show Ep. 6 - Drama in the Bahamas

    Welcome back and Happy Thanksgiving! In this week's episode of The Biscuit Show, Jackson recaps an all-time posterization (is that a word?) from one of the bounciest guards in America, dives into Carolina's trip to the Bahamas, and hosts the podcast's first-ever special guest: the one who raised him a born, bred, dead Tar Heel... his mother. Stick around to hear about 1) how he met the one-and-only Vince Carter, 2) how his Mom got a customized Tyler Hansbrough autograph, and 3) how he learned to shoot the ball so daggum well. Enjoy the show!

    The Biscuit Show Ep. 5 - A Chapel Hill Homecoming

    The only thing better than coming home? Coming home to Chapel Hill. And that's exactly what the Biscuit Boy did last week. In this week's episode, Jackson highlights the double overtime thriller that was last week's homecoming game against the Blue Devils, shares his thoughts on the Tar Heel's 2-0 start (now 3-0) on the basketball court, before sharing a story of a Thanksgiving Day basketball game that was one to remember. Enjoy the 5th episode of the season (halfway to double-digits!) and have a great Thanksgiving!

    The Biscuit Show Ep. 4 - College Basketball Is (Almost) Here

    It's a bird, it's a plane, no, it's... college basketball season? That's right, it's (almost) here. We are officially one day away from UNC's home opener and the Biscuit Boy is pumped. To preview the basketball season ahead, the Biscuit Boy gives his takeaways from the Tar Heels' exhibition game (and blowout, might I add) against St. Augustine's last Friday. Unable to go thirty minutes without talking about himself, he also shares a few of his own exhibition game stories before diving into a Q&A session consisting of one question (can you even call that a session?), before capping off the show's fourth episode with a recap of none other than the game that started the magical 2022 Final Four run... the victory at Cameron Indoor. Hope you enjoy it!

    The Biscuit Show Ep. 3 - The "Not-So-Secret Scrimmage"

    They say, "third time's the charm," but I'm here to tell you: "It's the charm's third time." In the third episode of The Biscuit Show, Jackson talks about the demoralizing defeat of the Heels on the gridiron before launching into the whispers of results from UNC Basketball's "not-so-secret" scrimmage against a Final Four contender (and, of course, shares some similar stories of his own). He answers some questions in Q&A (as one does) and tells the story about how he made a three-pointer off an assist from a Tar Heel legend... Cole Anthony? Harrison Barnes? Michael Jordan? You'll have to listen to find out!

    The Biscuit Show Ep. 2 - First, There Were Biscuits

    Happy Friday, Biscuiteers Too much? Yeah, I agree. In this week's episode, Jackson starts by reminiscing on his experiences in Carolina's "Live Action," a preseason night of basketball hype and team introductions. He quickly gets sidetracked into telling the story of how he earned statewide biscuits for everybody (the first time), which is the reason the name of this podcast is what it is! Jackson wraps up this second episode with storytime: The March Madness Superstitious Switching of Shoes, a short story. Enjoy!

Listen (at your own risk) as he explores the 2023-24 Carolina Basketball schedule and roster, before touching on Carolina Football's spectacular run through the fall. Lastly, he wraps up with a heart-warming story from a memorable game in his career... that he wasn't even there for.
