On the eve of your March Madness 2026 office pool, Galen Hall breaks down his spots-betting model that dominated the ruthless, $18.7 million NFL Circa Survivor pool — including game-theory negotiations with a multi-national syndicate and speaking through the podcast void to "Juicy K."

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?

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.
