Is Markwayne Mullin (alleged MMA fighter) less bad than Kristi Noem (aka Evil Barbie) for the performative sadism that is our politics? And are you still curious about Stephen A. Smith for president?

In an era devoid of accountability for the Jeffrey Epstein class and sports owners (and in-between), Pablo Torre finds a kindred spirit in TrueHoop’s Henry Abbott, who’s not afraid to call out the backroom dynamics of Adam Silver during wartime: If billionaires can’t police themselves, does cheating matter? Do the people who run the sport… really love the sport? If there’s no effort to be decent, where do the lies end? And if Steve Ballmer’s already negotiating, what is his minimum viable punishment?

How did millions travel from the Clippers to Aspiration to Kawhi Leonard? Amin Elhassan and David Samson join Pablo Torre — live onstage at the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference, right where Adam Silver was just sitting — to examine new and extremely credible evidence.

Is A.I. a bubble ready to burst? Or have we underrated how fast companies like OpenAI and Anthropic are growing? How screwed are we either way? And when does artificial intelligence actually help you? Mina Kimes and Derek Thompson join Pablo Torre to discuss how technology can be overhyped and transformative at the same time. Plus: Peyton Manning, Lamar Jackson, Geraldo Rivera’s vault, a young Tim Pawlenty, vibe-coding NFL scouts… and Filipino Jell-O.

Sports and comedy are America’s prisms for progress, allegedly. But this queer comedian from SEC football country can smell the lies. In the locker rooms of the NFL and the NBA. In the homoeroticism of Joe Rogan’s world. And in the boxes of manliness we put up all around us, more than ever. Plus: Sen. Tommy Tuberville, Caleb Williams, Derek Jeter, Timothée Chalamet, RFK Jr., butt-scouting… and the Cerebro of hook-up apps.

America’s podcast guest is a little burned-out. And yet the do-it-all comedian turned method unc is also a bard of modern content creation. So Roy Wood Jr. sits down with Pablo Torre, on-stage at On Air Fest, to make sense of working for CNN amidst the Paramount deal, while learning from the likes of Kai Cenat and Druski and still focusing on himself enough to tell jokes as the chef intended — all without becoming part of somebody else’s propaganda. Plus: Reading Rainbow, Street Fighter, the Dagobah system, funeral-home police scanners, murdering the defendants of slavemasters… and punching children in the face.

As Terry Rozier and his betting co-defendants return to court, Pablo Torre spans the globe — and the nether regions of the basketball internet — to reveal the player who committed the "original sin" of the scandal. Amin Elhassan helps connect government clues to red flags, obscure movie references to entourage Instagram posts… and one really dirty recruiting trip to a new guarantee in the economy of legalized gambling.

Katie Nolan and Michael Cruz Kayne react to Winter Olympics 2026 highlights, best moments and, yes, below-the-belt injections of hydraulic acid with Pablo Torre, on a post-Milan edition of Share & Tell. Also: robot cars, rooting for Team USA in the Trump era and much more.

Is the MLBPA screwed because its (outgoing) leader allegedly had an affair with his sister-in-law? Is a salary cap a red herring? How much does winning a Super Bowl boost the valuation of the Seahawks? And can the NBA really stop tanking? John Skipper and David Samson return for our semi-regular panel on sports business — and taking down Big Pharma.

The story of one of the most pivotal pickup games in American history has never been told, in depth, in public. Until now. Former Miami Heat center — and current DJ — Rony Seikaly opens up to PTFO correspondent Foster Kamer about his shocking decision to do what nobody in the NBA would, in the midst of HIV/AIDS paranoia. And how Seikaly was fated to become the person that Magic Johnson credits with changing his life in 1992.
