Barack Obama and Bruce Springsteen starting a podcast together is the end of the podcast bubble.

Barack Obama and Bruce Springsteen have a podcast. I think this is the end of – I think this is the end of the bubble. If five years ago I asked you what would be the apex of podcasting, I think it'd be Barack Obama and Bruce Springsteen doing a podcast.

The podcasting market did see a significant correction and cooling off in 2022-2023 following the pandemic boom, though the medium itself persists.

We are the first of the suckers on Top Shot, but we can still get rich.

I think we're the first of the suckers. So sometimes we can get in and we'll be a little bit sucker, we'll be less suckery than the majority of people, but we're still like the first sucker. I think we can still get rich off this, though, because I bought the most pristine mint condition gift of Alex Caruso blocking James Harden.

Top Shot saw a massive surge in early 2021 followed by a significant decline in value for most 'moments,' making the 'sucker' part quite accurate while the 'getting rich' part became much harder.

The Brewers' pressure created their 'lucky' breaks

That's not luck. That's just the Brewers and what they did to you mentally, where it's like you have to be perfect and almost made teams just become a worse version of themselves because of what the Brewers were doing to them.

This is an evaluative baseball argument rather than a claim with one definitive result.

The Bears are building around Jeffrey Simmons correctly

Jeffrey Simmons is an absolute game wrecker. Top three at his position, changes everyone around him. The Bears had a weakness in their defense, especially run defense. They made it a strength.

The assessment of Simmons' impact and positional ranking is partly subjective and will depend on his Chicago performance.
