In my professional opinion, a lot of TV commercials are not worth the price. I get into this debate many times with marketing officers around potential reach vs. actual reach. But one time a year, these TV commercials become just as impactful as the game... and it might be the most underpriced deal in all of advertising On today's episode, I sit down with the legends Boomer Esiason and Gregg Giannotti aka Gio on their morning show and talk about the ad spend with the most value, WineText.com and a bit about what it's like to be a Jets fan. I hope you all enjoy this one!

In the NBA, the US professional basketball league, the average player is a shade over 6ft 6 inches tall. So just how much does being very tall increase a man’s chances of becoming a professional player?

Tim Harford talks to data scientist Seth Stephens-Davidowitz, author of Who Makes the NBA?: Data-Driven Answers to Basketball’s Biggest Questions.

When we lack a sense of natural talent, how can we unlock our ability to excel? Find out on this episode with Hidden Potential author Adam Grant!

What We Discuss with Adam Grant:

• When you're going through the repetitive steps necessary to learn a new skill, how can you turn the daily grind into a source of daily joy?
• Why learning from an expert mentor is not necessarily the best path to success.
• What are character skills, and why are they more important than cognitive skills or talent when it comes to succeeding?
• How did a pair of hyperpolyglots go from repeatedly failing to retain languages to speaking dozens fluently?
• Why we should seek advice we can act upon rather than feedback that only identifies our cheerleaders and critics.
• And much more...

In the 80s and 90s, few sports stars loomed as large as Bo Jackson. A Kansas City Royal and an Oakland Raider, he was the rare athlete to play two professional sports. His strength and power seemed supernatural. He soared into end zones, ran the 40-yard dash in 4.13 seconds, hit meteoric home runs, and broke baseball bats over his head for fun. And those were just his documented exploits. Because Bo played in an era before smartphones, stories circulated — that could never be entirely proven or disproven — that he was capable of even more impressive feats. The guy was the stuff of legends.

For this reason, Jeff Pearlman has entitled his new biography of Bo: The Last Folk Hero. Today on the show, Jeff and I talk about Bo's Paul Bunyan-esque stature, and the real life behind the legend. We discuss both the flaws and the strengths of Bo Jackson, and how natural talent can be both a hindrance and a help, as we trace his life from an impoverished upbringing as one of ten kids, to how he managed to secure an arrangement where he got to play two professional sports. Jeff explains how Bo never liked to practice — because he was so naturally gifted he didn't need to — why Bo didn't take the deal when the Yankees tried to draft him out of high school, the flash-bulb moments he achieved in college and the pros, how a hip injury ended his football days but didn't entirely finish him off for baseball, and why, after such a neon career, Bo has largely disappeared from the public eye.

Bo Highlights Mentioned in the Show

• Bo going over the top in the 1982 Auburn/Alabama Iron Bowl
• Bo running across the outfield wall in Baltimore
• Bo's first major league at bat against Steve Carlton
• Bo's rookie 91-yard run vs. the Seahawks
• Bo's leadoff homer in the 1989 All-Stars Game
• Bo throwing out Harold Reynolds at home plate
• Bo breaking bats over his knee and head

It was my great pleasure to speak once again to Tyler Cowen. His most recent book is Talent, How to Find Energizers, Creatives, and Winners Across the World.

We discuss:

- how sex is more pessimistic than he is,

- why he expects society to collapse permanently,

- why humility, stimulants, & intelligence are overrated,

- how he identifies talent, deceit, & ambition,

- & much much much more!
