It's the USA America Festival 250th episode celebration! In this milestone holiday, the guys dive into the chaos of the modern world vs. the 1976 bicentennial, why finance bros are packing up and leaving NYC proper, and the explosive political beef between Barstool Sports' Dave Portnoy and NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.

We also break down the massive mainstream boom of prediction markets, highlighting Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour’s bold claim that event betting is a better alternative to internet "brainrot." Plus, we look at the rise of YouTube golf influencers like Grant Horvat, unpack a hilarious Bronx Johnny update, debate the legality of sports betting across the US, and cap things off with an epic story about Stanley, Paperface, and a group Fogo de Chão dinner gone completely off the rails before a bride and her aunts crash a bachelor party.

Air Date 7/2/26
