The 2026 Quad M Show Dead Pool

The Pool runs from January 2, 2026 to December 31, 2026. Please feel free to listen to the 10th round and draft recap here. Hearts were broken, names were called, and fun was had. ****SPECIAL NOTE: The supplemental draft will be held in July of 2026.****

Stirctly for entertainment purposes only. Long time listeners of The Quad M Show will know that the hosts have a deep respect for celebrities who have passed on and they are celebrated on a weekly basis. In no way, shape, or form are we “rooting” for our selected celebrities to leave this mortal coil. In a perfect world, all participants would end the year with zero points. But, unfortunately, it’s not a perfect world nor are its inhabitants.

We understand some people’s personal tastses and belief in a system of karma will cause said people to feel uncomfortable with this pool.

And that’s okay. You can show yourself out.
