Hello there, boys and girls. Welcome to another edition of the Business of Sports with Andrew

Brandt. We're presented as always by Draft Kings. It's been a couple weeks since I did a rance

or maybe three, four weeks. I know we had Matthew Futterman from New York Times talking about

the disturbing and emotional story of Pung Shui, who is somewhere in China and what he called comfortable

captivity.

And we don't know exactly whether she's secure and safe.

And if you haven't, I advise you to listen to the podcast again.

Really deep dive into the Pung Shui story in China. And of course, two weeks ago, we dove into the podcast again. Really deep dive into the punctue story in China. And of course,

two weeks ago, we dove into the baseball lockout with Professor Andrew Zimbalist, an expert in

sports economics, especially with baseball. So again, check those out as well as we get towards

the end of the year. I'll be linking up some other shows throughout the year through my Twitter where you can

sort of check out kind of the best of 2021 with the Business of Sports Podcast.

We are going to do a rants.

I'm going to get into just some COVID issues as we are here recording this on December 23rd, which is for those

Seinfeld fans out there, Festivus, remember Jerry's father, Georgia's father, Frank Costanza.

I got a lot of problems with you people.

Happy Festivus, to all. Merry Christmas, to all who celebrate. As we head towards the new year,

don't worry, you'll hear me again as we get into New Year's week next week. But Merry Christmas

in a couple days to all who celebrate. As far as the rants, I'll get to them in a minute.

First, I want a word from AutoZone. If you're looking to take care of your

car's battery needs, there's no better place than AutoZone. Why? Because they're America's

number one battery destination. You know, we're hitting the cold season. You need that battery.
