You'll Never Hustle Alone feat Joey D'Urso
We spoke with The Athletic’s investigations writer Joey D’Urso (@josephmdurso) about the frenzied tie up between high risk, unregulated world of blockchain/crypto ventures. What is a “fan token,” why is Paul Pogba “the father of dragons,” and why does Manchester City need a “regional partner in decentralised finance” in the first place?

guest: offhand remark about inflation in venezuela weird tankies online: did you know that inflation in venezuela has been 0% for the last 75 years? why are you taking issue with the world's most perfect post-scarcity marxist utopia? maybe because of cia brainwashing?
See above for noted "weird tankie" either Riley or Nate saying 'Yeah I didn't love that' about that moment.

So basically the scammy, scummy business models of Fifa and Pro Evolution games are being mirrored IRL now? And they're somehow even shittier. It is genuinely disheartening that crypto is becoming ever more embedded into everything around us. Which is simultaneously hilarious for something that was initially sold as a way to "operate outside the system". Like the planet is dying, but it doesn't seem to be stopping anyone from doing something that accelerates that process, whilst being the cringiest limp dicks you've ever met.
Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I’ve tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. And yet, it turns out: two for one The world has come unhinged This fire spreads transcendent dumb Thus full of cringe We shall succumb - E.A. Poe, probably
"Players get payed too much and have too much free time" is an odd take for someone on this socialist podcast.
Do you have another explanation for why all the european Clubs are knee-deep in dept? I mean, sure, its their own fault. But the pay of the top 1% football Stars ist their major expense
Is this the first TF guest who earnestly told me to Google Venezuela?
I was fully expecting "There are legitimate uses for Bitcoin" to stop as a semi-joke of "You can at least use it to buy drugs", but no, we rolled right into the superficial for-the-rubes libertarian explanation of why crypto should be permitted to exist.
