It’s everyone’s favorite time of the week—Trivia Tuesday! Last week, Israel Gutierrez stepped in for Amin and narrowly lost to Jeremy Tache in a 4-3 battle. This week, Amin returns to reclaim his crown, but standing in his way is our special guest challenger, Mo Dakhil. Mo and Amin field questions about buzzer-beaters from Jayson Tatum and Julius Randle, NBA Cup standings featuring the Boston Celtics and Orlando Magic, and historic milestones like Chris Paul chasing Jason Kidd on the all-time assists leaderboard. They also tackle debates about teams like the Cleveland Cavaliers, Houston Rockets, and Los Angeles Lakers, and highlight standout performances from players like Giannis Antetokounmpo, Anthony Davis, and James Harden.

We are entrapped by an algorithm preying on our most terrifying human vulnerabilities. But inside us exists a cabinet of curiosities, and few are better at finding poetry in our past than Nate DiMeo of The Memory Palace, an award-winning podcast and new book. Pablo's kindred spirit conjures a time before Jason Giambi and the golden thong, when the least qualified Major Leaguer of all time was also, somehow, the luckiest. Plus: a new video about pigeons; swimming “lesser channels”; and, yes, raccoons failing to eat cotton candy.
