“Can you tell when something is written by a human—or are we all just reading AI now?”That's the question that kicks off a wildly entertaining and thought-provoking segment of The Ben and Skin Show. In this episode, the gang dives headfirst into the blurred lines between human creativity and artificial intelligence.

Ben recounts a surreal moment at Dude Perfect's new mega-office, where a family recognized him as the guy who wrote their daughter's favorite song. “Is that my most listened-to song ever?” he wonders. Meanwhile, Skin's latest obsession—matcha—sparks a hilarious debate about taste, caffeine crashes, and whether drinking green powder makes you a “performative male.”

On this episode of the Unsupervised Learning podcast, Razib welcomes back Ethan Strauss, a writer who has covered sports and culture for the past decade, including in the book The Victory Machine: The Making and Unmaking of the Warriors Dynasty. More recently his writing is to be found at his Substack, House of Strauss, which is notable for offering a candid take on the cross-pollination between broader culture and athletics, notably in the piece Nike's End of Men: Why Nike no longer wants us to Be Like Mike. Strauss and Razib first discuss professional sports and the different representation of various nationalities. Strauss recounts the generational attempt by the NBA to get Chinese representation to gin up a lucrative rivalry, and how it sputtered due to the reality that 1.4 billion Han Chinese seem to have less basketball talent than small nations like Croatia. Razib also asks about how and why baseball is popular in parts of Latin America and East Asia, and why there are so many more Dominicans in MLB than Mexicans. Strauss says differences between populations are so obvious in sports there's no need for complex social explanations. Then they explore the role of DEI in professional sports, and especially the NBA, and how it might be impacting decisions in the league. They recall the years around 2020, when a drive for minority representation, and in particular of blacks, was prevalent across the corporate world, and how thatimpacted professional sports. Strauss then offers his theory for why the Dallas Mavericks inexplicably traded away a potentially generational talent, Luka Dončić, and Mark Cuban's role in the choice. Finally, he highlights the racism that Jeremy Lin, one of the few Asian American stars in the 2010's, faced from fellow players.
What if the Lakers are quietly planning a rebuild around Luka Dončić? In this absolutely unmissable episode of The Ben and Skin Show, Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray—dive headfirst into the swirling NBA rumor mill with a mix of sharp insight, hilarious speculation, and the kind of off-the-wall tangents that only this show can deliver.

Tobin kicks off Hour 3 fired up after spotting Bam Adebayo and Luka Dončić getting chummy together on vacation in Greece.

With the Cup now on its victory tour, they debate who we should really be worried about bringing the Cup to some place wild next. Then it's time for Tobin to reach into the Mixed Bag: Derrick Lewis delivers a classic post-fight message for his wife Erik Spoelstra gets emotional about Duncan Robinson's departure And Spo makes it clear he's not buying into the “Eastern Conference is wide open” narrative — not for one second.

Leroy also hands out his Game Balls and Game Bums of the week, including some heat for Tobin's weekend fight pick.

BT and Sal ignite a heated debate about the Knicks' head coaching search, with Jason Kidd at the center. While reports suggest Kidd views the Knicks as a "dream job," BT and Sal are highly skeptical of his character, calling him "slippery" and predicting a disastrous clash with Knicks management. They discuss the perceived power dynamic Kidd seeks, the idea of him using the Knicks for leverage, and whether the allure of New York and an "easier" Eastern Conference path outweighs the stability of his current situation in Dallas, especially after the contentious departure of Luka Dončić from the Mavericks.

The Moment of The Day: Willie Colon had a bathroom emergency at 4am in NYC. In the final segment of the show, we cleaned up the calls on the Knicks and Yankees.
In this episode we discuss the blockbuster trade that sent Desmond Bane to the Orlando Magic in exchange for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Cole Anthony, and four 1st round picks. We talk about how this brings back painful memories from the Luka Dončić trade and how it's yet another example of how the Mavs didn't maximize the return from their best asset. We then discuss the recent reports around the Mavericks coaching staff, which started with Jason Kidd being linked to the New York Knicks. Since then, it's been reported by Marc Stein that several important Mavs assistants are drawing interest from other teams. We talk about what this means for the franchise as they get ready to host presumptive #1 overall pick Cooper Flagg for a visit this week. This is a public episode.

Recent champions have followed a recent formula of having an elite offensive player flanked by a high level defensive roster — a trend the Thunder are trying to continue. Pete and Darius discuss how the Luka Dončić led Lakers can try to follow this same path and what that means for the rest of the current roster and who to target this offseason.

How would you evaluate Austin Reaves outside of the context of the roster, his contract, or even what his future fit might be next to Luka Dončić? How would you look at his growth as a player, his individual strengths and weaknesses, and what he needs to improve on? What about the schemes that fit him best on both sides of the ball? Pete and Darius answer these questions and more in their discussion of what they've seen from Reaves over the last several seasons and how he played this past year.

Pete and Darius discuss how the Lakers go about building around Luka Dončić can't just about finding players who can compensate for the things he doesn't do as well, but instead should be about finding players who build on all the ways that he is already great in order to magnify those traits and lift the entire team.

Before there was a LeBron, Luka, or an Anthony Davis, there were the "Baby Lakers" -- a group of young draftees and G-League finds the team developed at the tail end and in the aftermath of the Kobe Bryant era and into when the team signed LeBron. Pete and Darius discuss this group of past players, how each of the conference finals teams has one of these former Lakers on their roster in a contributing role, and why as the team begins to build around Luka Dončić this sort of success from the draft and G-League can help the Lakers build out the depth they need to contend.

Pete and Darius continue their discussions on offseason planning and how the Lakers can best build around Luka Dončić by looking at the team's needs for another guard, specifically the type of point of attack defender and two-way perimeter player needed to slot between Luka and Austin Reaves. And then later the guys discuss specific names they would like the Lakers to target and speculate whether those teams would be willing to make a deal.

Pete and Darius discuss the Lakers pursuit of a long-term 2nd star to pair with Luka Dončić and what qualities they believe are most important in that player. And then later, the guys dive into some specific names they think could be available, whether they are worth targeting due to salary cap and roster building limitations, and how the salary cap and collective bargaining agreement impacts their view of what level of player qualifies as second star material.
