Aaron and John talk about the Twins' having a playoff spot there for the taking with six weeks left, why the rotation desperately needs first-half Joe Ryan back, the dramatic in-season bullpen turnaround, why Alex Jackson is such an uninspired choice for a roster spot, and what lessons Tom Pohlad can learn from the Padres. 0:44 Swept by the Phillies, then a sweep of the Braves 2:32 Where things stand: 63-65 with 34 games left 3:32 Twins hold the final AL wild card spot — 40% playoff odds 4:20 Fourth-easiest remaining schedule in baseball 5:04 The seven-team wild card logjam 5:56 Tiebreakers: the Twins have them over almost everyone 8:14 AL Central odds and the six games left vs. the White Sox 12:16 Why the AL playoff field is wide open 15:52 What this season still has to accomplish 21:14 Last August's fire sale and the joylessness of a lost season 25:43 The rotation is the problem: worst ERA in the AL since the break 29:46 This rotation could really use Joe Ryan 35:06 Kendry Rojas as rotation depth at Triple-A 36:16 Derek Shelton's quicker hook 40:53 The bullpen is now the strength of the team 43:34 Reading the Opening Day bullpen out loud, one disaster at a time 52:17 Luke Keaschall is back to his rookie form 58:00 Royce Lewis and the shortage of right-handed bats 1:00:29 Why not Walker Jenkins? 1:01:39 The Alex Jackson move: DFA'd, cleared waivers, recalled two hours later 1:06:57 Byron Buxton isn't 100%, and Jenkins is a real center fielder 1:09:47 John pushes back: where do the at-bats come from? 1:16:52 Kaelen Culpepper's first 10 games 1:22:00 Attendance is down 83,000  1:27:23 What Tom Pohlad should take from the Padres sale 1:36:32 The 2023 payroll cut and kneecapped a five-year plan 1:42:07 Coming up: Padres, A's, then 15 straight vs. the AL Central

Could a nation of steadier 401(k) investors make markets calmer—or will algorithms, options, and meme-stock behavior keep the ride bumpy? Tom and Roxy weigh the forces pulling volatility in both directions.Next, an almost-80-year-old with a $4 million portfolio asks who should coordinate the inheritance plan. The answer is a team effort, with the financial advisor calling the plays and the CPA and estate attorney handling their specialties.They also decode RIA versus IAR, flag the conflicts that can come with dual registration, and tackle asset location, TSP diversification, inherited money, and whether to sell Vanguard ETFs before adding DFA or Avantis.Timestamps:0:44 A French café opening2:40 Will more investors mean less volatility?7:12 Who quarterbacks an estate plan?10:15 RIA, IAR, broker-dealer, and fiduciary conflicts15:25 Inherited money, TSP, Roth, and brokerage choices21:21 Adding DFA or Avantis to Vanguard ETFsQuestions?

In "About Last Night," John runs through Guardians roster moves, Gabriel Arias getting DFA'd by the Mets after five at bats and prospect hype for the Giants' Tugboat Wilkinson, before Ken and Lima vent about top prospect Ralphie Velasquez still not getting a call up due to service time manipulation ahead of the looming lockout. They react to Ohio State's number one preseason ranking, with Lima explaining his measured skepticism given a brutal schedule that includes Texas, Indiana and Oregon. They close by recapping the Jeanie Buss standoff over the Lakers' final ownership stake, with Ken and Lima riffing on what record breaking NBA sale prices could mean for future NFL franchise valuations, including the Browns.

This Friday I'm sitting down with my friend Rick Ferri for a debate that I think matters a great deal, even though — or maybe because — Rick and I agree on almost everything. We both believe in diversification, low costs, index funds, ignoring predictions, and staying the course. Where we part ways is what happens after that.Rick's case is that you should simply own the whole market. A total stock market index fund gives you thousands of companies at an extraordinarily low cost, and adding complexity rarely pays. My case is that the academic research — Fama, French, and decades of market history — shows that greater exposure to small and value companies may raise long-term expected returns. Rick calls that factor tilting. I call it better diversification. He'll argue I'm not adding diversification at all, just changing the weights, and he's right that this is exactly what we're doing. The question is whether it's worth doing.We also take on a second question that gets far too little attention: if you do want small and value exposure, where should you get it? Vanguard, Fidelity, DFA or Avantis — traditional indexing or systematic portfolio management? Differences that look trivial today can compound into very large ones over 40 or 50 years.Neither of us is trying to win. Rick may be right. I may be right. Ask us again in 50 years. What I hope you take away is the process — examining evidence, understanding the alternatives, admitting what nobody knows, and committing to a strategy you can stick with. Because every strategy disappoints you eventually, and what you do in that moment matters more than which one you chose.The podcast and video of my conversation with Rick will be available Wednesday, August 19, 2026.

For the 20th anniversary of the second Hot Chip album, The Warning, we take a detailed look at how it was made. Joe Goddard and Alexis Taylor initially connected as young teenagers in secondary school in southwest London in the early 90s. They bonded over being music obsessives, listening to a wide variety of genres, reading the music press, going to gigs together and eventually recording the songs they were writing. While they attended different universities, they continued to collaborate and officially formed Hot Chip in 2000. One of their early releases caught the attention of Moshi Moshi Records, who signed them to a deal. Their debut album, Coming on Strong, was released in 2004. Around this time, they developed a full band sound, adding other members, including Owen Clarke, Al Doyle, and Felix Martin. For their second album, they signed a deal with EMI Records. The Warning was eventually released in 2006. In this episode, Joe Goddard describes how Hot Chip's sound evolved over time as they began to embrace house music and develop a harder hitting style that was influenced by disco, hip hop and grime. As they were working on the album, they connected with James Murphy and Tim Goldsworthy of The DFA for a remix and found fellow like-minded musicians in the dance-punk revival that was emerging during this period. Goddard discusses how the limitations of home recording with Cubase software and vintage synthesizers like the Casio MT-70 helped inform their sound. Alexis Taylor discusses his love of singer/songwriter music, American indie rock, and 80s pop, which contrasted with but complimented the tracks that Goddard was putting together. As a duo, they developed their signature style where they would trade off singing and often sing together in unison using falsetto over a low register. Taylor also describes writing autobiographically and how a breakup around this time informed some of the reflective lyrics he was writing. From signing to a major label, to developing song ideas quickly, to expanding as a duo into a full band, to the stress of malfunctioning equipment in their live show, to taking inspiration from key artists like New Order, Prince, Kraftwerk, Aphex Twin and ESG, to a Royal Trux album credit turning into a key line in “Over and Over”, to the enduring relatability of "Boy from School,” we'll hear the stories around how the record came together.

In the opening hour of today's show, Mike Mulligan and David Haugh react to Chicago Cubs' 7-3 win over the St. Louis Cardinals, despite DFA'ing Jameson Taillon before the game and the Chicago White Sox's 9-5 loss to the New York Yankees. Later, Mully and Haugh discuss the top six sports stories of the day in the Pick 6 segment

Gio and Jerry start by pondering potential Mets trade deadline sales, Aaron Boone's wishlist, and the expectation that Aaron Judge won't return this season, before Gio warns of a pending anti-Pete Alonso hit piece. Next, C-Lo brings an update starring Evan & Tiki's "how about that" montage, triggering memories of classic voice-changer slip-ups and Gio's early producer work. To wrap up, President Trump hosts the Dodgers at the White House before their matchup with the Mets, the Yankees return to face the Phillies following Dennis Santana's DFA, Salvador Perez pleads for a fan who jumped in a fountain for a home run ball, and a caller reveals a Boomer shoutout in a new rap track.

C-Lo returns for another update and begins with the “how about that” montage the Evan & Tiki show put together. It reminds C-Lo of two great “how about that's” delivered by Paul Rosenberg when he accidentally hit Craig's voice changer and when Steve Somers also triggered the device. C-Lo also found two montages Gio put together back during his days as a producer. We hear from President Trump during the Dodgers' visit to the White House. The Yankees are back in action against the Phillies, and Dennis Santana was DFA'd three days after his confrontation with Jose Caballero. Salvador made a plea to Kansas City police to release a man who jumped into a fountain trying to grab a HR ball.

The Pittsburgh Pirates have acquired a reliever! I break down who the Pirates got in Ron Marinaccio and what they could do to get him back to his early days with the Yankees.With the addition of Marinaccio, that means the end of Dennis Santana, who was DFA'd.They also signed four more of their draft picks, including second-round pick Aiden Ruiz. I go over my thoughts on each of the four picks and some more draft thoughts with the class coming together.

Donny Football Debrief – The Pirates have just traded international signing bonus pool money for Padres RHP Ron Marinaccio. Dennis Santana has been DFA'd as a corresponding move. Jake Paul also recently said that he has talked to NFL coaches and they want to bring him in.

Max Fried came off the injured list faster than anybody expected and absolutely mowed down the Pirates on the back end of the double-header yesterday. In an article on the Pirates' team website, Aidan Stepansky writes that the Pirates could end up moving bats for arms in an attempt to cut payroll. Apparently, the Marlins are going to take a buy and sell approach to the deadline. Cam Heyward said recently that the Steelers players hate having training camp at Latrobe.

Ken and Anthony break down the Guardians' four-homer beatdown of the Pirates, with Rhys Hoskins going deep twice to silence critics calling for him to be DFA'd. From there the show pivots to LeBron's still-unresolved free agency, now three weeks old, with Ken firing back at the afternoon show for mocking how often he brings it up. Rich Paul's comments on the Game Over podcast get dissected for clues on timing, with training camp roughly 70 days away. Ken makes his case that patience is wearing thin and the longer this drags on, the worse it looks if LeBron doesn't pick Cleveland.

Two years ago I sat down with Ben Lindbergh — co-host of Effectively Wild, co-author of “The MVP Machine” — to talk through the player development revolution remaking baseball. I'm re-airing it with a new intro. The reason: two years later, baseball is still chasing the same answers, and still hasn't solved the same problems. We get into: • Why pitching always stays a step ahead of hitting • How chasing every edge turned the whole league into the same team • Whether the rule changes were ever going to work • Ben's fix: cap the pitchers on the roster, make guys pace themselves, and you get back deeper starts, more contact, fewer blown-out arms A few references are frozen in 2023 — Hosmer getting DFA'd, Morel being all the vibes. Enjoy the time capsule. The heart of it plays sharper now than the day we taped it. The thread to hold onto: every adaptation has a price — what it costs a player, and maybe the game itself, to become something different than it used to be. Learn more about your ad choices.

Mike and Rico keep the Red Wings conversation rolling before reacting to the "breaking news" that the Tigers have DFA'd Jahmai Jones.

Phone lines were stocked full of callers reacting to another disheartening Pirates loss, which had them dropping 2 of 3 in the series against the Braves. Pirates insider Jason Mackey joined the show. Mackey doesn't think Dennis Santana will get DFA'd tonight or tomorrow. He expects them to ‘ride it out a little bit longer' despite every performance being a dumpster fire. Don Kelly told reporters he wanted to make sure Mason Montgomery fresh for tomorrow instead of trying to close out the game today. Is Mitch Keller on thin ice after another bad start today? The guys tried figuring out what the usage of Carmen Mlodzinksi is and if it will ever make sense. How much fault goes on Kelly versus the team's front office when it comes to pitching decisions? Manager's Minute – What did Don Kelly say to the media after today's game?

Paul returns from a two-week Baltic cruise refreshed and ready to dig into the numbers. He opens with a 12-month performance review of the recommended portfolios at Avantis, DFA and Vanguard — Avantis averaged 31.1% across the 10 equity asset classes in the Ultimate Buy and Hold, versus 27.7% at DFA and 26% at Vanguard — and explains why the non-traditional index funds keep outperforming traditional cap-weighted indexes.Paul also revisits Ben Carlson's look at the ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK), which grew to $30 billion under management before falling 65% while the S&P 500 gained more than 60% — a costly lesson in performance chasing, with an estimated $7.5 billion in shareholder losses.Then Paul answers 12 listener questions, with a special deep dive into table G1B — 56 years of S&P 500 vs. small cap value returns, one year at a time, plus every combination in 10% increments.QUESTIONS COVERED1.

Tom welcomes legendary investor educator and longtime friend Paul Merriman for a wide-ranging conversation about the evolution of indexing, the proposed changes to the S&P 500, and why investors should understand both the strengths and limitations of traditional index funds. Paul explains why firms like Dimensional Fund Advisors and Avantis Investors use a more flexible, evidence-based approach than traditional indexing and discusses how academic research has reshaped portfolio construction over the past several decades.The discussion also explores lessons from market history, including the importance of understanding major bear markets, determining appropriate risk levels, and building portfolios that align with personal goals rather than chasing maximum returns. Paul shares insights from the latest Dimensional Matrix Book and explains why he believes studying 100 years of market data helps investors stay disciplined during inevitable downturns.Finally, Paul introduces a simple but powerful strategy for helping newborns and young children build substantial retirement wealth through small annual investments that can compound over many decades.Timestamps0:11 Special guest Paul Merriman joins Talking Real Money0:55 Long friendship and investing partnership between Tom and Paul1:20 S&P 500 rule changes and earlier inclusion of major IPOs like SpaceX2:07 Historical examples of S&P 500 additions and omissions2:35 Microsoft's delayed entry into the S&P 5002:56 NVIDIA replacing Enron in 20013:29 How index rule changes can affect future returns and volatility4:08 Why indexing remains the preferred strategy for most investors5:16 Traditional versus non-traditional index funds6:37 How Avantis and Dimensional incorporate factors beyond company size8:05 Why factor-based investing differs from traditional indexing9:02 Problems with rigid index reconstitution schedules10:16 Momentum, flexibility, and portfolio management advantages11:22 Introduction to Dimensional's annual Matrix Book11:53 Using market history rather than forecasts to guide investing decisions13:09 Lessons from past bubbles, crashes, and lost decades14:20 Why Paul trusts academic research more than Wall Street forecasts15:14 The case for small-cap value investing15:49 Clarifying Paul's allocation to small companies16:53 Investing for heirs, charities, and future generations18:10 Remembering investor panic during the 2008 financial crisis19:18 Determining an appropriate risk level for retirement portfolios20:43 Different investor goals: beating the market, maximizing returns, or minimizing risk21:28 Peace of mind versus maximum growth21:55 Helping young people build retirement wealth early22:54 The $365-per-year retirement funding concept24:09 Final thoughts and appreciation between Tom and PaulQuestions?

Should investors stick with traditional index funds, or does factor investing deserve a place in a portfolio? In this episode of the White Coat Investor Podcast, we interview Jeromey Thornton from Avantis about the firm's origins, investment philosophy, and approach to factor investing. We discuss portfolio tilts, the evidence behind factor premiums, how investors should think about choosing funds, and what makes Avantis different from DFA.

Time for a DFA?

Kyle Tucker hit a game-tying three-run homer and later threw out the potential go-ahead run at home plate. Miguel Rojas hit a pinch-hit homer to break a 3-3 tie. Eric Lauer threw a quality start, and the bullpen was nails (or at least nails-adjacent). Add it all up, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Tampa Bay Rays in game one of their three-game series. Also, Tommy Edman returns tomorrow, and LA manager Dave Roberts announced that the corresponding move will be another DFA for Santiago Espinal. Jeff Snider and Clint Pasillas are here to talk about the game, Edman's return, and a lot more! Our recap, your reactions, LIVE right after the game! #Dodgers Tube in all season long!

The Mets returned home to Citi Field and immediately got smacked around by the Cardinals, because apparently feeling decent about this team for more than 48 hours is illegal. They did manage to salvage the finale this afternoon with a 5-4 win, so congratulations, everybody — the parade route has been downgraded from “season is over” to “still annoying, but technically breathing.”This week on The Put it in the Books Show – S9 E10, Farace, Rodriguez, and Producer Joe break down a Mets team that continues to scream one thing louder than anything else: the strategy needs a serious revamp.Let's start with David Peterson. He's been bad. Not “maybe unlucky” bad. Not “let's look at the peripherals” bad. Just bad. Farace is ready to DFA him yesterday, Rodriguez is probably going to try to explain why that's extreme, and Producer Joe may just hit the soundboard until the segment ends. At some point, enough is enough. This team is trying to climb back into relevance, not host open auditions for batting practice pitchers.The injury updates are a mixed bag, because of course they are. Kodai Senga had another setback, although it appears minor. Lindor seems close, but there's still no clean finish line. Polanco and Luis Robert Jr.? Not close. Robert is just now starting to play catch, which is great if this were March. It is not March.But hey, Francisco Alvarez is back way earlier than expected from a torn meniscus and already homered, because apparently catchers are now healing faster than Mets relievers can find the strike zone. That's huge. This lineup needs attitude, power, and somebody who actually looks like he enjoys big moments.And then there's Carson Benge, who keeps showing off the full toolbox — power, glove, arm, speed, confidence, the whole thing. The kid looks like he belongs. So here's a wild thought: play the rookies. Build the second-half team around the young guys who are actually healthy, hungry, and giving this team a pulse. Shut down the injured players who clearly aren't right. Stop trying to force a broken roster to act like it's whole.This Mets team is built more like a small-ball, pressure, speed, defense, chaos team — so maybe stop pretending it's a lineup full of monsters waiting to hit five-run homers. Play the game your roster is built for. Build a .500 team with the kids, then sprinkle in the big names like Lindor, Soto, and Bichette when they're actually right and ready to help.The Braves come to town next, which is always peaceful and relaxing and never triggers Mets fans at all. After that, the Mets hit the road for Cincinnati and Philadelphia, because apparently the schedule looked at this team and said, “You know what they need? More stress.” And yes, before anyone asks, Farace is still finding a way to squeeze in a Let's Go Knicks because the Knicks are one win from a championship and he is absolutely not emotionally stable enough to separate sports right now.And let's not forget the Put it in the Books Show goal: get back to .500 by the All-Star break. Right now, the Mets are still 8 games under, so there's work to do. A lot of work. Like “stop losing series to teams you should beat” work. The goal is still possible, but it's getting harder every time this team plays like it's allergic to momentum.Baseball. Sarcasm. Roster rage. Rookie optimism. Peterson slander. Braves hate. A random Let's Go Knicks. And one very simple message:Play the kids. Get healthy. Get to .500. Stop making us insane.LGM.#PiitB #Mets

Sportsnet's Shi Davidi (10:20) joins Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker ahead of the Blue Jays' series opener against the Yankees. They break down the Jays' recent roster moves with Tyler Heineman being DFA'd, whether George Springer could be back in the outfield, Addison Barger's rehab progress, and the plan for Max Scherzer as Shane Bieber nears a return. Later, ESPN's Tim Kurkjian (31:11) stops by to share his thoughts on the Jays' season so far, what the Jays can expect from the Yankees' pitching, how the Yankees manage in Aaron Judge's absence, Ernie Clement's All-Star case, and why the Tigers shouldn't trade Tarik Skubal.

In this interview from the 2026 Bainbridge Community Foundation Annual Financial Education Series, Paul sits down with Bill Bernstein — neurologist, financial historian, and author of The Four Pillars of Investing and If You Can — for a wide-ranging conversation drawn from 50-plus years of investing experience.Bill explains why you're only rewarded for taking risk in well-regulated markets (and why crypto doesn't qualify), how today's market echoes the late 1990s, why the "reverse glide path" makes sense the older you get, and what the Bessembinder research really tells us about the cost of trying to pick winners. Paul and Bill also debate withdrawal strategies, the case against long bonds, and whether tilted small-value investing still works once "the bozos know about it."A masterclass in evidence-based investing from one of the most respected voices in the field.CHAPTERS00:00 Intro from Matt Longmire, Bainbridge Community Foundation02:50 Welcoming Bill Bernstein03:50 Why The Four Pillars of Investing belongs on every DIY investor's shelf05:50 Risk vs. reward — and why Bitcoin doesn't qualify08:30 How many asset classes do you really need?11:50 Where today's market resembles the late 1990s13:40 Are REITs still worth holding?15:50 The case for automating everything19:45 Why retirees need to fear sequence-of-returns risk21:30 Paul's 5% rule vs. the 4% rule25:30 The two-bucket theory and the reverse glide path27:30 Prediction markets, gambling, and "being the house"32:00 The sociological signs of a bubble35:00 Speculation vs. gambling — gold's real return40:00 The Bessembinder study: why 4% of stocks make most of the returns46:00 Why rich people plan three generations ahead49:00 Audience Q&A58:30 Tilted index funds (DFA, Avantis) — worth it?01:03:50 The future of Social Security01:07:00 Closing thoughts and book recommendationsLINKS:The Four Pillars of Investing — Bill Bernstein (2nd ed., 2023)If You Can — Free PDF from Bill BernsteinThe Bessembinder Study — "Do Stocks Outperform Treasury Bills?"Bainbridge Community FoundationBen Carlson's New Book on Risk and Reward

Chuck Garfien catches up with White Sox outfielder Derek Hill for a conversation that stretches far beyond the box score. Hill reflects on the winding path that brought him from the 2014 MLB Draft to Chicago, including the influence of his father, Orsino Hill, whose own minor league journey and years in scouting helped shape Derek's perspective on perseverance, pressure, and staying ready through countless roster moves and DFA's. Chuck also revisits a powerful 2021 quote from Orsino about life in professional baseball. Later, Hill shares what stands out about the current White Sox clubhouse, from the chemistry between younger players and veterans to the growing buzz surrounding names like Colson Montgomery and Munetaka Murakami. He explains the mentality behind pinch-hitting success after delivering two huge pinch-hit homers already this season; discusses the challenge of quickly moving on after tough losses; and breaks down his clutch defensive play against Bobby Witt Jr. and the Royals. Plus, Derek weighs in on the Cubs-White Sox rivalry, the league-wide chatter surrounding the Sox' surprising run, and whether this stretch of winning baseball has staying power.
