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.

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?

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.

Hit-making record executive Jason Flom has turned his instinctual superpower as a music talent scout into an obsession with getting innocent people out of prison. Flom, now the host of the Wrongful Conviction podcast, helps us explain why the unbroken, indomitable grace of Charles Flores is far from alone inside the deeply American system of incarceration — and how you can help, too.

The editor of The New Yorker and the director of the best documentary ever join Pablo Torre for an hour of media naval-spelunking: What does the death of The Washington Post sports section mean for the future of sports, journalism and propaganda? Was "Melania" a movie — or crypto? And how does LeBron guarantee his story now? Plus: Tony Kornheiser, Paul Thomas Anderson, Nuke LaLoosh, New Yorker clickbait, Carmelite nuns, the glue of commonality… and the uselessness of despair.

As the Clippers host NBA All-Star Weekend 2026, Pablo Torre’s "thorough due diligence" leads us down a trail of Kawhi Leonard side deals involving his Uncle Dennis, plus hall-of-fame sh*t-talking from lawsuits, Steve Ballmer "hush money" for his right-hand man… and a potential government whistleblower. David Samson and Amin Elhassan return with a new prescription and — perhaps — judgment day.
