Undisciplined and GrayRuby talk the territory, MLB trade deadline, NFL, NBA redraft and more.

I can't believe the WNBA got no mention in the official description. It's hard to imagine we'll ever give them this much air time again.

Thanks Car. You are pumping out Spotify numbers up. We had 7 listeners from Spotify last week.

Woo doggie 🐶

To be honest, SNL has done far better focusing on YouTube and Spotify. We keep climbing the Fountain charts every week now because of that.

This is not a reflection on Fountain, this is just that Bitcoiners won’t take things seriously unless they see it on mainstream apps. Hard truth. 💀

That'll be amazing!

I'd love for Fountain to build out a recording studio, so we can just do everything in app.

I keep trying to zap the pod and it fails

Hopefully that's not because @grayruby was playing around with the zap split settings.

Maybe my balance is too low. I’ll try again. Just finished the episode and enjoyed it. When is @Undisciplined going to fix the market and throw a rainbow dildo on the court?!

That seemed to help, I deposited more sats into my fountain wallet then was able to boost

I want you guys to keep producing content, so I’ll zap a bit to support

Not until Predyx has the corresponding market

I feel like this is conspiracy to perform discriminatory behavior lol

Maybe people would also throw dildos at NBA players if they could afford tickets.

82 sats \ 16 replies \ @WeAreAllSatoshi 3 Aug

That’s a solid point. Who can afford to be 3 rows back just to throw a dildo at Lebron

On the other hand, you'd have better odds of getting away with it because there are other people in the stands for NBA games.

Shouldn’t be. I was able to zap the episode this morning.

Oddly enough I can’t reply to comments on fountain anymore. I can zap them but when I reply I get an error message.

I noticed the reply thing this morning too.

AI Generated Summary

Below is a concise summary of the podcast transcript you provided. The episode, from "Stackers Sports" (described as the sports page of Bitcoin), features hosts Gray Ruby and others discussing a variety of sports topics, including MLB, fantasy sports, betting, and more. The conversation is informal, banter-filled, and covers both current events and personal insights.

Overview

The episode begins with welcomes and light-hearted banter, then dives into sports discussions. Key themes include MLB events, fantasy leagues, sports betting markets, and critiques of the WNBA. The hosts share their enthusiasm for sports, personal team preferences (e.g., 49ers and Blue Jays), and ongoing contests, while weaving in humor and debates.

Main Topics Discussed

MLB and the Speedway Classic:
- The hosts kick off with the inaugural MLB game at Bristol Motor Speedway (Atlanta Braves vs. Cincinnati Reds), which faced multiple rain delays and only completed one out. They discuss the event's novelty but note its poor execution.
- A significant portion covers the MLB trade deadline, highlighting teams like the Padres, Dodgers, Yankees, and Mariners as big winners for acquiring relief pitchers and hitters. Relief pitching was a premium, with teams trading top prospects for short-term rentals. The Dodgers, despite being favorites, didn't make major upgrades, narrowing their lead over competitors like the Padres.
Fantasy Sports:
- The hosts analyze their fantasy baseball league, including current standings, player performances (e.g., Spencer Strider's delayed start benefiting one host), and categories like strikeouts and ERA. They express frustration with bad weeks but optimism for playoffs.
- They also touch on upcoming fantasy football plans, including coordinating a league and potential participants.
Sports Betting and Markets:
- Betting discussions dominate, covering Super Bowl odds (e.g., 49ers at 17:1, debates on arbitrage), cricket markets (e.g., The Hundred format), and in-game betting strategies. They share personal experiences, like spotting edges in live games (e.g., Blue Jays comeback bets).
- Other bets include NFL teams (e.g., Bills vs. 49ers) and MLB outcomes, with mentions of platforms like BetPlay and FanDuel.
WNBA Criticisms:
- A lengthy segment criticizes the WNBA for taking itself too seriously, citing incidents like a fan getting arrested for mocking a player (e.g., wig falling off) and another involving a thrown object. The hosts view these as overreactions, comparing them to more light-hearted NBA responses. They discuss the league's potential (e.g., $350 million franchise sale) but lament its poor entertainment value and mishandling of fans.
Other Sports and Contests:
- NFL topics include the Hall of Fame game (Trey Lance's return) and debates on quarterbacks like Kevin Durant in the 2007 NBA Draft (agreed as the clear No. 1 pick, though one host prefers Al Horford for team-building).
- They review contests like the MLB survivor pool (won by Jer) and a football madness event, teasing future records discussions.
- Additional banter covers teams like the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (CFL) and general sports reflections.

Thanks, these are fun

They resumed the Speedway classic game on Sunday afternoon. I didn't watch any of it but the highlights made it look like a fun event. Hopefully they bring it back next year but I think they are going back to the field of dreams park next year.

Solid episode loved the bullpen breakdowns and NFL chatter as always. But yeah… WNBA actually getting airtime and not making the episode description? That’s cold 😂 Hope it’s not truly a “one and done” some of those matchups lately have been fire.
