Notes:
Jake is the founder of this podcast. This is just two guys chatting, there's not a lot of sports content in here so just not going to grade well.

Bunch of alcohol consumption talk. I don't drink, I haven't ever sans once in 1997, but it's a really hard listen for numerous reasons. 22 minutes of this before we get to any sports talk.

22:00 - "Sports betting industry has been sort of boring."

23:55 - Fanatics GGR (Gross Gaming Revenue) bouncing around - the GGR is bouncing around (30 mill one month, 1 mill another for NJ) and the rumor is that they have one (or a couple) VIP(s) that's bouncing around the GGR based on that VIP's play.

27:15 - More unregulated market / regulation talk. More "enforcement issue" talk. Frustration from Jason concerning his regulated approach vs the sweepstakes approach where those sites (like Stake) are printing money. It's a lot of the same stuff, nothing new here.
