· We begin with a shout out to our new listeners from Puerto Rico and Vietnam.
· We share the best Super Bowl commercials.
· Then, we acknowledge the phenomenal expansion in sports betting.
· John considers gambling to be a victimless crime while Tim conceives of mobile
gambling as fundamentally different from putting a few bucks on the Big Game. We consider what changes could help.
· Our sponsor offers a party game with a purpose.
· Tim’s whack-job is a governor who seeks to disconnect actions from their consequences with her opposition to federalism.
· Meanwhile, John’s heroes act honorably with full knowledge of the consequences while they try to uphold the rule of law.
