    Jan 23 2026
    • Main Topic - Sports Betting: A deep dive into the explosion of online sports betting since the 2018 Supreme Court decision. We discuss the aggressive marketing, the dangers of apps making gambling too easy, parlays and prop bets, the risks to college athletes receiving death threats, and why the industry needs better regulation and education around addiction.
    • Sports Time: Peter updates us on the College Football Championship (Indiana held on in a thriller), plus Venus Williams competing in the Australian Open at 45 - and nearly facing Coco Gauff in the second round.
    • Silly Current Events: Trump leaking world leaders' texts like a Real Housewife, Amanda finally leaving Kyle on Summer House, the Beckham family feud spilling onto Instagram, and the Wile E. Coyote movie that Warner Bros. tried to bury for a tax write-off - now finally getting released thanks to fan outrage.
    • Smile of the Week: Abigail binged mystery shows (Only Murders, The Residence, His & Hers, The Seven Dials) and guessed most of the killers. Peter found new homes for old treasures - Legos to Dana Hall's middle school and George's vintage baseball memorabilia to the New England Sports Museum.
