Share & Tell with Boring Old Friends Domonique Foxworth, Charlie Kravitz and Pablo
Who's your oldest friend — and why isn't it one of your parents? What makes the ideal best man — and is it because you're actually proud of your friends? Do boring podcasts help you fall asleep — or just incept your dreams? En route to the White House in an allegedly badass cardigan, sockless Pablo visits the co-hosts of The Domonique Foxworth Show to discuss sports parenting, the Papi writers' room, situational wedding-speech awareness, the Laremy Tunsil Standard… and sh*t-inducing sit-ups.

How to Laugh About the Saddest Sentence in the English Language
Millions of us hide in a ubiquitous sorrow. And pretty much all of us are horrible at talking about it. But Michael Cruz Kayne, Peabody-award winning writer for "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," has a theory about why death feels unspeakable. And how we can all get better at dealing with the most universal fact of life. In a behind-the-scenes look at his one-man show, "Sorry for Your Loss," Michael teaches Pablo about normalizing a taboo — and doing some seriously mind-blowing math in the process.

The Best Voice in Sports Goes Deep
You might think that calling a game is easy. That Tom Brady can do this in his sleep. Jon "Boog" Sciambi, announcer for the Chicago Cubs and "MLB: The Show," teaches Pablo why the human voice is an instrument that requires restraint and distinction to record the first draft of sports history, then pass it down like an heirloom. Come for the PTFO dictionary's debut in the broadcast booth; stay for Nic Cage murdering Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg with a Toyota Outback at Wrigley Field.

Share & Roast & Tell with Charlotte Wilder and Sarah Spain
It appears that, as a (crumbling) society, we have arrived at Peak Roast. With Tom Brady, Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and Taylor Swift all recording their own versions of diss tracks. And the viral messages are both conspicuous and — even better — concealed. So, are Swifties and Rap Geniuses the same? Is it impossible to be a pop star if you’re old? Are fish just a gateway pet? Also: compliment competitions, beta or betta, Charlotte’s Mario impression, and why octopuses are ideal sex partners.

How the Billion-Dollar War to Own the Timberwolves Went Nuclear
On the court, the Minnesota Timberwolves are making an astounding NBA Finals run, as Anthony Edwards becomes the next Michael Jordan before our very eyes. Behind closed doors, though, the sale of this skyrocketing franchise has devolved into civil war, as would-be owners Alex Rodriguez and Marc Lore get betrayed by a "bumbling" and "diabolical" 83-year-old incumbent. Pablo's month-long investigation gives a rare glimpse at a soap opera within the most exclusive club of American life — one that is equal parts Game of Thrones, Succession and Fargo... and straight-up torture for Wolves super-fan Zach Harper.

Michael Cruz Kayne - “When the language is unlocked”
When Pablo asked him what it’s like “when the language is unlocked” stopped me in my tracks. Our first grandson was stillborn at 6 months in a different country where our son was stationed in the Air Force.
Nothing leading up to that day had been anything but positive routine doctor appointments and the increasing excitement of getting to see him once he arrived, only via computer but still so much to look forward to for our son and his beautiful wife.
Then our son called and told us. His umbilical cord had become entangled around his neck and he had died. Our beloved daughter-in-law delivered him with our son by her side. He weighed 8 ounces. When they facetimed us, they were in shock and their eyes were hollow. It felt like an out of body experience for me, I can’t fathom what they must have been feeling. The hospital had a small service for our son, his wife and tiny grandson and made something so tragic into something very beautiful for the 3 of them. They were so deeply touched and we were too.
Never in my life have I felt so helpless. As a woman, a mother, a grandmother, a human. Knowing our son and his wife were in another country, with no close friends or family there and we couldn’t get to them. As a mother or any parent, I can’t imagine anything worse than losing a child. Part of me died that day from not being able to hug and comfort our son, his wife or to see our grandson.
What Michael said about how people react to the information is so true. You do feel bad for the people expressing their grief to you because it pains them, they are afraid to say the wrong thing, they love and care about our son, his wife, both sides of the family. The grieving family feels bad for the people offering sympathy because it’s hard. It’s devastating. Often times the people who experienced the loss end up consoling the people offering sympathy.
But, when you connect with someone who has experienced such a loss, I did feel a sense of, it’s ok to be real about how I’m feeling. This is when the “language is unlocked”. I didn’t have to worry as much about their sadness in expressing their sympathy. Most people mean well, it’s just not a topic anyone wants to think or hear about. We were members in a “club” that you hope to never be in.
Thank you Michael, for sharing your story with us and for talking about such a painful experience. Fish is without a doubt, so VERY proud of you. 🩵🐟
