What Are We Betting On Next? Kevin Cirilli sits down with Dustin Gouker, one of America’s leading experts on sports betting and the former Vice President of Content for North America at Catena Media, to explore how gambling has become a defining part of modern sports culture — and where it’s now crossing the line. As news breaks that NBA figures including Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier have been arrested in alleged Mafia-linked betting and game-fixing schemes, Kevin and Dustin examine what this moment says about the multi-billion-dollar legal sports-wagering industry. From fantasy leagues to real-time micro-bets on who scores next, the rise of mobile betting has turned fans into participants — and every play into a potential payout. But as AI, analytics, and inside data blur the boundary between prediction and manipulation, what happens to the integrity of the game itself? Is this the new frontier of entertainment — or proof that the digital gambling boom has outpaced its safeguards? This is the high-stakes, high-speed future of fandom — and the biggest integrity test in modern sports.

In this episode, Kevin Cirilli welcomes Max Haot, CEO of Vast, to explore how space could change the future of medicine — and even life itself. As Haven-1 nears launch, Vast and its partners are preparing to conduct cutting-edge biomedical experiments in orbit, from stem-cell research to growing human organs in microgravity. Without Earth’s pull, cells form more complex structures — opening the door to breakthroughs in regenerative medicine, cancer treatment, and tissue engineering. Kevin and Max discuss why the first commercial space station might double as the world’s most advanced biotech lab, how collaboration with NASA and Redwire Space is shaping this new frontier, and what happens when humanity learns not just to live — but to heal — in space.

Kevin Cirilli welcomes back Dr. Ed Lu, Executive Director of the Asteroid Institute and veteran NASA astronaut, to discuss a headline straight out of Armageddon: should we use nuclear weapons to stop an asteroid — not from hitting Earth, but the Moon? A team of scientists, including NASA researchers, has floated the idea of nuking an asteroid that poses a small threat of colliding with the Moon in 2032. Kevin and Ed explore the science, ethics, and strategy behind this audacious plan — and what it reveals about humanity’s growing power to reshape, and defend, our place in the cosmos.
