  • Exclusive: Phil Mickelson, the Pipeline and Trump's (Alleged) 14-Inch Pipe
    Nov 7 2025

    Why has the famous golfer (and notorious gambler) been hooking right and tweeting incessantly about insider trading? Hunterbrook Media's Sam Koppelman got inside a group chat even more bro'd-out than the defense secretary's Signal messages — and uncovered audio about trading 18 holes with a cabinet secretary to pump up a gas company. His investigation's findings are... huge.

    Oct 30 2025

    Basketball's high-stakes nightmare is front-page news. But Pablo has been decoding thousands of pages of court documents, while talking to two dozen sources... and keeping up with Kash Patel, to unmask the would-be kingpin hiding in plain sight. Amin Elhassan joins for a swipe through the jet-setting, sports-betting, tequila-chugging life of a man who might actually connect the mafia to the NBA.

    Oct 24 2025

  • How We Forgot About CTE with Domonique Foxworth
    Oct 23 2025

    Domonique joked about his forgetfulness for years, and Pablo gas-bagged about the ethical dilemma — and existential crisis — of concussions in the NFL. But with football more popular than ever, fewer people seem to give a sh*t about CTE — and who's watching the watchers. So it's about time for an honest conversation about fear, family, aging, masculinity, hidden science and what it's like inside the huddle, when there's a horror movie inside your brain.
