Fountain giving me 8 sats a minute for 10 mins to listen to this fine pod.

We jammed so much into this and didn't even talk about the Grand Final and the battle off the felines.

I didn't finish "listening" back until 3:30 am.

In this episode, hosts discuss community boosts, sports updates across NFL, MLB, NHL, and NBA, fantasy football, betting, and user-created prediction markets. The tone is casual, community-focused, and Bitcoin-oriented.

Community and BoostsCommunity and Boosts

• The hosts apologize for overlooking a massive 100,000 sat boost from the Longevity World Cup project in last week's episode. They explain the project: users upload anonymized blood work to track biomarkers and compete on "biological age" vs. actual age (e.g., a 45-year-old with 22-year-old biomarkers leads). It's tied to health/fitness and Bitcoin's low time preference mindset. Listeners are encouraged to join via the top-boosted post in their "territory."
• Shoutout to Block for a big boost promoting Stacker Sports at TabConf 7 with merch like QR codes calling it the "sports page of Bitcoin." Hosts praise Block's generosity and plan to revive "Block shots" for the NFL season start.
• General appreciation for the community's growth since the podcast's anniversary, with aspirations like buying a minor league baseball team or The Economist magazine (jokingly tied to Bitcoin treasury strategies).

NFL DiscussionsNFL Discussions

• Survivor Pools and Fantasy Football: Many entrants were eliminated last week (e.g., Falcons/Packers picks), but most rebought. Current standings are tight; hosts share picks (e.g., Lions, Chargers, Bills). Fantasy league is competitive (most teams 4-2, 3-3, or 2-4); hosts discuss injuries (e.g., Burrow), bye weeks, and trade offers (e.g., swapping QBs like Lawrence/Stafford for RBs).
• Team Analyses and Previews:
  • 49ers vs. Jaguars: 49ers favored by 3.5 despite injuries (Purdy, Bosa out; McCaffrey, Jennings questionable). Defense has been strong early.
  • Chiefs vs. Ravens: One will likely be 1-3; hosts pick Ravens but note Chiefs' offense struggles and Ravens' fumbles (Henry's uncharacteristic issues).
  • Raiders vs. Bears: Raiders' O-line woes; expect a sloppy but entertaining game.
  • Other notes: Texans vs. Titans (Texans favored, but Titans at +400 odds tempting); Chargers vs. Giants (Chargers should win easily).
• Hosts cross off the Titans as Super Bowl contenders (previous: Dolphins, Saints). They discuss early-season strategies, avoiding Thursday/division games, and a moneyline betting challenge (one host down 2 cents, opponent up $8-12).

MLB Playoff Race and MVPMLB Playoff Race and MVP

• Intense final day: AL East (Blue Jays vs. Yankees for #1 seed/bye; Blue Jays have tiebreaker), AL Central (Guardians vs. Tigers tied), NL Wild Card (Mets vs. Reds tied; Reds have tiebreaker).
• MVP race flipped: Judge back as favorite after recent homers/RBIs; Ohtani hit 60 but unlikely to tie record.
• Rockies finished 43-118 with a record-worst -420 run differential but no historic loss mark.
• Hosts excited for playoffs; Phillies now favorites over Dodgers due to LA's bullpen issues.

Prediction Markets and BettingPrediction Markets and Betting

• User-created markets on PredictIt: NFL #1 draft pick (Jets lead), 49ers DE trade targets (e.g., Hendrickson, Thibodeaux; "other" likely), Bitcoin to $1M by 2027, college football (Oregon vs. Penn State game ongoing), NFL QB TDs, Paraguay Bitcoin mining law, soccer scores.
• Hosts enjoy the variety and liquidity; one traded actively during a college game.
• Betting: One host hits 3/4 parlays; focuses on underdogs with value (e.g., Titans +400).

NHL and NBANHL and NBA

• NHL ("Block Shots"): Florida Panthers lose captain Barkov (ACL, out all season) and Tkachuk (3-4 months); still playoff threats but drop in power rankings. Connor McDavid unsigned with Oilers—potential blockbuster trade or free agency.
• NBA 2015 Redraft: Karl-Anthony Towns remains #1 pick (talent, durability as stretch big). Alternatives: Porziņģis (injuries hurt upside), Booker (scorer but not a floor-raiser). News: Fred VanVleet out for season (Rockets lose leadership/point guard); impacts in-season tournament picks.

The episode wraps with excitement for the NFL season (starting soon) and next week's finale of "year one" (Episode 52). Hosts encourage territory engagement and community testing of their Pool Zap app contest.
