831 - Fan Gruel feat. David J. Roth (5/9/24)

David Roth joins us for a look at sports gambling’s rapid rise and infiltration of every institution of professional sports. We look at how it developed, who’s affected, the insidious exploitation of gambling addiction, and how the permissibility of gambling has extended to players in the leagues themselves. We also discuss RFK Jr.’s brain worm, and the crypto bracelet entrepreneur who gave the worst commencement speech of all time at Ohio State.
