Overview
- The new episode explicitly referenced Polymarket and Kalshi and mocked alleged loopholes, regulator influence, manipulation risks and weak KYC.
- Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour and Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan publicly embraced the mention on X, framing it as validation for the sector.
- Users launched multiple episode-themed markets on Polymarket, Myriad and Kalshi, with individual markets drawing roughly $9,000 to $13,000 in reported volume.
- Kalshi and Polymarket pinned word-mention markets to their homepages to capture viewer interest during the broadcast window.
- Pre-episode odds on several platforms put low probabilities on brand name-checks, a miss later noted by industry voices as a sentiment, not truth, signal.
