through some of the tougher moments and then rewind and watch it again.

So, yeah, I'm generally watching them on my own, maybe with my 14-year-old who's a big UConn fan, and I use the tape delay as a way to kind of address my...

Yeah.

I mean, listen, first of all, I just think there's a lot of lives being ruined.

Addiction gambling is a huge problem, especially amongst young boys today and young men.

And I just think we have to recognize that.

I think it's connected to a larger crisis that's happening amongst—

Men and young men who are losing a little bit of their sense of identity and purpose in the world, they're trying to find new outlets for energy, trying to find new outlets for risk-taking, and that often comes through sports betting.

I think for the non-better, though, it's fundamentally changed the product in many ways.

So, like, my favorite show historically to watch, especially at the end of a long day, has been SportsCenter.

SportsCenter is just a betting show now, right?

I mean, almost half the content on that show is about odds and about how to bet on the games tomorrow.

And so I've stopped watching it in part because it just doesn't seem for me any longer.

And then as the numbers get bigger, I just do think the opportunities for corruption are harder to avoid and more of these games are going to be rigged.

I don't know.

For me, it's changed the experience for the worse, and I think we don't really understand yet how many lives ultimately get harmed when the bets are that big.

There are lots of prediction markets on events where you don't know the outcome, and sports is right on that list.

But the bets these days, the prediction markets that exist these days are on events where the outcome is knowable.

For instance, you can place a bet on what a particular celebrity is going to say on a evening talk show, a late night talk show.
