On today’s episode, we break down one of the wildest Championship Weekends college football has ever delivered — and react to the FINAL College Football Playoff bracket that has the entire country talking. We start with the shocker in the Big Ten, where Indiana stunned Ohio State in a defensive slugfest that crowned the Hoosiers as conference champs and ignited their push toward the No. 1 seed. Then we head to the SEC, where Georgia put on a vintage Kirby Smart masterclass, shutting down Alabama and punching their ticket to another playoff run. The Big 12 title game saw Texas Tech deliver a statement win over BYU, riding turnovers and a suffocating defense to their first Big 12 Championship in program history. And the drama didn’t stop there—over in the ACC, Duke and Virginia delivered the most emotional game of the weekend, capped off by an overtime walk-off that sent the Blue Devils to the top of the conference for the first time in decades. Then it’s time for the main event: 🔥 OUR FULL REACTION TO THE FINAL 12-TEAM COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF BRACKET 🔥 We break down the seeding, who deserved a bye, who got snubbed, the best first-round matchups, which teams are most dangerous, and who we think has the clearest path to the national championship.

On today’s episode, we’re hitting every corner of the culture — from prediction markets to pop culture meltdowns and everything in between. We start with Polymarket and Kalshi, breaking down why prediction markets are exploding right now, how they work, and why everyone from crypto traders to Wall Street analysts is suddenly betting on real-world events. Then we dive into the Akaash Singh drama, the clips going viral, and the internet debate over whether his wife is making him look bad or whether the whole situation is being blown out of proportion. Next up: Max Kellerman stops by The Bill Simmons Podcast, and the sports media world reacts. We get into what he said, the state of sports talk, and why his return to long-form conversation hits different. We also talk about HBO Max streaming Mad Men — and the hilarious little errors fans keep spotting in the newly uploaded episodes. In Hollywood news, Quentin Tarantino has some unexpectedly harsh words for Paul Dano, and we unpack what that rant says about Tarantino’s standards, Hollywood culture, and ego. Plus: a raccoon breaks into a liquor store, gets drunk, and is found passed out like a furry rockstar — one of the wildest headlines of the week. And as always, we wrap with our Question of the Day and a bold Nuclear Opinion that might just start a fight in your group chat.

On today’s show, we’re diving into one of our most wide-ranging episodes yet. We kick things off by decoding the internet’s latest relationship label — what exactly is a non-Demi-curious-semi-binary relationship? From there, we react to Erin Andrews’ latest headline moment, and then ask the big holiday question: Is a Home Alone legacy sequel actually a good idea or Hollywood madness? We also break down Paul Heyman’s impact on wrestling storytelling, run through Variety’s Top 100 Funniest Comedies list, and talk about why McDonald’s prices keep climbing (and how fans are reacting). Plus, the Clippers’ announcers got into an on-air argument… and we have thoughts. As always, we wrap with our Question of the Day and a bold Nuclear Opinion that might spark a debate of its own.

On today’s episode, we dive into one of the wildest weekends of the college football season and set the table for an electric Conference Championship Week. We start with the brand-new AP Poll and break down how Ohio State, Indiana, Georgia, Oregon, and Texas Tech sit heading into the final push — plus who still has a path to the College Football Playoff. Then we recap all the chaos from rivalry weekend: Ohio State silencing Michigan with a dominant win in The Game, Texas stunning Texas A&M and blowing up the SEC title picture, and Alabama surviving the Iron Bowl to keep their championship hopes alive. We’ll tell you what each game means for the playoff race, coaching shakeups, and bowl positioning. Speaking of shakeups — Lane Kiffin is officially headed to LSU. We walk through why he made the jump, what it means for the Tigers, and how Ole Miss plans to navigate losing their head coach right before the postseason. And, of course, we update the Heisman race heading into the final week. Fernando Mendoza, Julian Sayin, and Diego Pavia headline the board — but who has the momentum? Who needs a championship-week “Heisman moment”? And who might surprise voters at the last minute? It’s wall-to-wall college football: top-25 movement, rivalry reaction, conference championship stakes, Heisman watch, and the biggest coaching news in the country — all in one stacked episode.

We also break down Trump’s new fit that has the internet talking. Then we spotlight Miss Chille’s incredible talent, check in on Shadeur Sanders, and debate a fun but fiery topic: Where do male and female film buffs really differ? We also unpack the wild moment from Sabrina Carpenter’s final tour stop — including who she jokingly “arrested” on stage — plus take a look at the rising star Performer Williams.

On this packed edition of the show, we’re hitting every corner of the internet, sports, politics, pop culture, and the just plain bizarre. We start with Cam Skattabo, who’s out here living his best life while the haters stay loud — and we break down why people get triggered when someone’s thriving. Then we shift to a surreal political moment as Donald Trump and Rep. Zohran Mamdani meet at the White House. Yes, that pairing really happened, and yes, we need to talk about it. Hollywood is back in the discourse too, this time because the Wicked cast is noticeably — and worryingly — skinny on their press tour. We explore the conversation around celebrity bodies, pressure, and what’s driving these reactions online. From there we dive into a big one: Can AI wipe out entry-level white-collar jobs? (Inspired by the latest 60 Minutes report.) We discuss what’s hype, what’s real, and what the near future actually looks like. In business news, Ford announces it will start selling cars directly on Amazon, and we unpack what that means for dealerships, car buying, and the entire auto industry. Then the vibes get… weird. Like really weird. There’s a viral clip featuring twerking with the dead — yes, literally — and we process the internet so you don’t have to. We wrap with a Nuclear Opinion of the Day and end with our Question of the Day to get your takes rolling.

On today's Productive Conversation, We’re breaking down a historically bad fall movie season — the worst box-office slump since the 1990s — and what it says about the state of Hollywood right now. Plus, Timothée Chalamet accidentally turns the internet upside down with a simple Zoom post, and we dive into Netflix’s new Eddie Murphy documentary, Being Eddie, to explore the legend’s impact. In sports, Draymond Green’s latest clash isn’t with a player… but a fan. We also shine a light on Matt Taylor, who continues to rise and make noise in the media world.
