  • Confessions of a No. 1 Pick Gone Bust, with Alex Smith

    Confessions of a No. 1 Pick Gone Bust, with Alex Smith
    Sep 26 2024
    The existential dread of going to work. The self-doubt born of 70,000 boos. The anxiety crank. The loneliness. There is no pressure quite like the expectations placed upon the top pick. And Alex Smith — 14-year NFL QB, ESPN analyst, and host of the new podcast Glue Guys — would know: He had one of the worst rookie seasons in football history. So Alex helps Pablo play armchair psychologist on the abject terror of being Bryce Young, Trevor Lawrence and Caleb Williams, with lessons for every leader on how to own your vulnerability — and develop the next Patrick Mahomes. Even if the paparazzi aren't watching you stretch every morning. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  • Meet the Astronaut Who (Also) Got Stuck in Space

    Meet the Astronaut Who (Also) Got Stuck in Space
    Sep 24 2024
    Two NASA astronauts are in the midst of an extended, headline-grabbing, eight-month stay in orbit. So we turned to Terry Virts, former commander of the International Space Station, as our official PTFO Outer Space Correspondent. Because he was stranded there for 200 days after his cargo ship blew up — low on underwear, polo shirts and his beloved borscht. Turns out, there are way worse places to be than staring out a Russian dorm-room window while watching bombs, auroras, typhoons and the very essence of human nature, from 250 miles up. Also: how to pee, dream and listen to Hans Zimmer without gravity. (Hint: Do not raw-dog the universe.) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  • Bon Jovi, the Bills and Operation Big Tree: Inside Trump's Plot to Buy an NFL Team

    Bon Jovi, the Bills and Operation Big Tree: Inside Trump's Plot to Buy an NFL Team
    Sep 20 2024
    Before he came down the golden escalator, Donald Trump was desperate to own a pro-football franchise on the cheap. So he dispatched a political emissary with a mission for five mischievous super-fans: ban Bon Jovi from Buffalo, so that Trump could purchase the Bills instead of him. Correspondent Noah Shachtman travels to an alternate universe where, associates say, Trump would have occupied the owner's box instead of the Oval Office — and finds evidence, on a literal bridge of the American divide, that we're still halfway there. Read the companion article at Rolling Stone: Is Trump's Whole Political Career Just a Cockeyed Revenge Plot Against the NFL? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
