Summary
Wide Left’s Arif Hasan joins Drew and Roth to talk about sports gambling. Although Drew and Roth have obligations to Bareback Sportsbook, Arif walks them through his personal experience with gambling and how society treats this particular vice stranger than all the others. In the second half, Arif turns his thoughtful considerations to Football, as they break down the collapsing Bears, the lucky Chiefs, and the denouement of Daniel Jones. And, as always, the show wraps up with the Funbag, answering real questions from real listeners.

| 0:00.0 | We're back. We're back. It's a distraction. I'm Drew. That's rough. Are you doing Roth? |
| 0:06.2 | I'm good, man. I've never felt better. How are you? Nor I. So, so good. |
| 0:11.4 | So for people who don't know, like two weeks ago, we had our friend Denny Carter on. |
| 0:17.1 | Prior to the election, we did an election preview, and I got all chesty. I was feeling myself, and I said, I said, not only would Kamala, you know, romp her way to the White House, |
| 0:27.8 | but the entire mega movement will be dead, dead. |
| 0:31.4 | And instead, what happened was, oops, all fascism. |
| 0:33.9 | So I was extremely wrong in every possible way, and that was a good feeling. |
| 0:39.7 | How are you feeling, Roth? You know, about the same. I had not let myself get quite as out |
| 0:45.9 | over my skis, but, you know, kind of feeling like shit, but I worked a Sunday shift. I wrote |
| 0:50.5 | three blogs, and I think successfully managed to flush other thoughts out of my |
| 0:55.4 | brain so that I could write about the Auburn basketball team fighting each other on a charter |
| 0:59.3 | flight. And, you know, now I'm normal again. I'm me. I feel amazing. Getting a little chippy on |
| 1:04.9 | the plane. Yeah, it's a little chippy. They actually forced a pilot to follow through on the I |
| 1:10.5 | will turn this thing around thread, which my parents never did, which is amazing. |
| 1:15.1 | It's a level of horseplay that you can only get if, like, you know, Bruce Pearl's really coaching everybody up to their full potential. |
| 1:21.3 | You know what the most extreme thing I did as a parent was? |
| 1:23.9 | I never turned the car around, but my wife and I, like, a couple times, like, if they were really being annoying and we'd already pulled in the neighborhood, we would |
| 1:31.5 | stop the car and would be like, okay, you have to walk home. You have to walk the extra two blocks |
| 1:35.8 | home. We wouldn't leave them, like, we wouldn't do that if we were driving through, like, Death |
| 1:39.1 | Valley or something like, you're on your own kid. Like, we'll just be like, okay, well, now you have to get some light cardio in because you were such a dick. |
| 1:45.5 | But mostly it was just so, like when kids make a ruckus in the car, like it pummles your ears in your brain. |
| 1:54.0 | Eventually, you have to kick them out of the car just so you don't crash into a tree. |
