  • Interrupted

    “I’ll let you answer after I finish interrupting you.” First and last time listening to this podcast. The host Peter Hamby asked his guest a question then proceeded to interrupt his reply 5 times in 10 seconds. Very irritating. If you’re a know-it-all Peter Hamby, own it, don’t invite guests.

    Sometimes I feel that they’re too smart to be as gullible as they around Bari Weiss. I can’t think of anything she’s done that they’d give her the benefit of the doubt headed into CBS. Also did they see the Erika Kirk interview? She was tossed softball after softball. Can’t believe they said she was “grilled.”

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

FanDuel’s Next Gamble
Q: Other than volume, how is betting on the World Cup different from other leagues?
Different soccer fans bettors have varying levels of expertise, with World Cup bettors often focusing on general outcomes and country-based bets, while hardcore soccer bettors in other leagues may favor specific players and game events; FanDuel is adapting its product mix accordingly.
The James Dolan Paradox
Q: If you look at the entire NBA, Jim Dolan as a hands-on owner, is it unusual? Is it normal?
Windhorst notes that while several owners are involved, Dolan's level isn't uniquely extreme, but his judgments have sometimes been terrible; nonetheless, his recent moves and leadership seem to have contributed to the Knicks' championship run.
The People v. Netflix
Q: How might this NIL dispute between Cincinnati and Sorsby affect the concept of pay-for-play in college sports?
If liquidated damages are upheld as a real punishment for transferring, it could redefine NIL deals as pay-for-play contracts rather than purely compensation for likeness, raising questions about compensation, employment status, and unionization.
The People v. Netflix
Q: What is different about the latest lawsuits against tech platforms like Netflix according to Paxton's case?
They focus on the architecture and design of the platforms—how they hook users and collect data—rather than the content itself, which could create a new line of legal attack beyond traditional First Amendment or Section 230 defenses.
French Hill on the Senate Crypto Stalemate
Q: Is there consensus on the handling of a central bank digital currency in FISA and related housing provisions?
There is a clear opposition to a government-issued CBDC; the conversation centers around constitutional and oversight considerations and avoiding overreach.
