The Next Big Sport with Bryan Curtis and Tate Frazier Oct 08, 2026

Show notes

Dave made some Korean fried chicken for The Ringer's Bryan Curtis and Tate Frazier, as well as Chris Ying, so it's time to talk sports. But not the usual sports. After discussing what makes a sport a possibility to be a global phenomenon, the four get into a bracket to find which sport might just be the next big thing...and they come up with a new sport that may beat them all.
