  • Going downhill

    Their output and quality is down significantly over the last few years. The host’s microphone hasn’t worked for the past month. Short podcast to begin with then the mic goes out, there’s silence, he comes back to talk about the mic not working and saying he still needs to order a new one, next podcast same thing happens again. Seems kindof important to have a working mic for a podcast. There’s barking dogs, crying kids and sounds from traffic in the background. The host complains about being rea... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

AS Roma vs Real Madrid Preview
Q: Can you please talk to me about Mourinho and his return, and how did that era influence Roma's trajectory?
Mourinho's tenure brought a trophy and a sense of prestige, but ultimately Roma needed a squad depth upgrade. The current setup under Gasperini benefits from players who fit a high-pressing system and can sustain European campaigns, which has helped Roma rebound and look competitive against top teams.
Mbappe Left Wing? Manchester City Firesale? Real Madrid Q&A!
Q: What is your stance on Vinicius Jr. and Mbappe playing together at Real Madrid?
It's not just about whether they can coexist; the bigger issue is the tactical fit and the risk of creating overlapping zones, so any solution would involve a broader plan including possible lineup adjustments and benching, not a simple swap.
Managing Madrid Founder GABE LEZRA on the rising cost of watching Real Madrid on tv + the Paramount merger
Q: Do you think the European model or regulatory framework could offer a different path to prevent monopolistic consolidation?
He emphasizes that different jurisdictions have different antitrust environments and highlights the need for global, coordinated political action to curb consolidation.
Managing Madrid Founder GABE LEZRA on the rising cost of watching Real Madrid on tv + the Paramount merger
Q: What is your take on whether leagues and teams should pursue direct-to-consumer strategies to bypass mega conglomerates?
He thinks direct-to-consumer can be a strategic bargaining tool for leagues to regain pricing power, but notes it requires careful execution and global coordination.
Managing Madrid Founder GABE LEZRA on the rising cost of watching Real Madrid on tv + the Paramount merger
Q: So are you a big fancy lawyer now wearing big fancy suits, driving big fancy cars?
Gabe-shares that he works in anti-corruption law and does not earn flashy money; he remains grounded in non-profit or advocacy-oriented work.
