It's another NFL Draft without coveted QBs. Normally we'd still watch teams draft QBs too high out of desperation and hope. This year is different.

Hutt and Chad break down why the baseball world is buzzing, and it's because Tony Vitello didn't give Giants media the canned, corporate answers about moving from Knoxville to the Bay Area. He talked about leaks, he talked about stress, and he talked about how he almost stayed put because of how the news broke. The 'Old Guard' calls it his first unforced error and questions his loyalty.

What if the loudest stories about the future—AI gods, Mars colonies, digital immortality—aren't science at all, but science fiction masquerading as inevitability? In this episode of The Radical Candor Podcast, Kim Scott and Amy Sandler are joined by science journalist and astrophysicist Adam Becker (PhD in computational cosmology), author of More Everything Forever. Adam breaks down the “big three” myths that dominate Silicon Valley's imagination: space colonization, superintelligent god-like AI, and the singularity. He explains why both the utopian and apocalyptic versions of AI stories often share the same assumption—unimaginable AI power—and why that assumption doesn't match reality. They also explore the deeper pattern underneath these myths: the belief that every problem can be solved with technology (usually computer technology), even when the barriers are political and social—collective action, persuasion, solidarity, and power. Along the way, Adam shares how he stayed sane while writing about “seriously disturbing ideas,” and why reconnecting with the natural world (and real human relationships) is a necessary antidote to screen-mediated life. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the “AI will save us” vs. “AI will doom us” debate, this conversation offers a clearer, more grounded frame—and a reminder that being human matters.

Hollywood lost a legend with the passing of Robert Duvall. On this episode, we remember one of the greatest actors of his generation — a quiet giant whose performances defined toughness, vulnerability, and authenticity on screen. From Tom Hagen in The Godfather, to Lt. Col. Kilgore in Apocalypse Now, to his Oscar-winning turn in Tender Mercies, Duvall brought gravitas to every role. Hutt and Chad reflect on his legendary career, the characters that shaped cinema history, and why his understated brilliance stood out in an era of big personalities.

Tal-Elmar hopes to turn the tables on Mogru, the town's Master; James manages to turn the table on Alan by interviewing him about his decade in podcasting. Join The Man of the West and The Sage of the South for some hazy cosmic jive as we conclude our four-episode look at the story of Tal-Elmar. It turns out Mogru's been plotting for a while now, Tal-Elmar could probably do with a few more clothes, and the Númenóreans apparently have errands to run. We note that Christoper Tolkien did an amazing job with his father's “excruciatingly difficult” handwriting, agree to disagree as to whether James is actually Jabba the Hutt, and decide that the fourth danger of the Agar swamp is the Men Of Unusual Size. Also: we decide that 38 years is long enough to wait for a political joke. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
