Now the shotgun's starting golf is full of mathematics, there's a lot of a lot of setup work that we have to do in order to make a tournament work, so I'm gonna demonstrate to you just exactly how we do a shotgun start here.

And here we go.

All right, all right, all right.

Get to men!

Start your engine!

Greetings and welcome to a Wednesday edition of the Shotgun Start. It is June 28th. Andy, how are we doing?

Brendan, I'm doing great. I can feel the energy. I'm standing. I'm at my new standing desk. It goes up and down. I've been playing around with it all day.

Oh my God. It goes up and down. It goes up again. It goes up and down. It's really a marvel. I can't believe all this technology that has graced the shed.

But I will say I was at my desk for some points today, but most of today was decompression after a long 18-day road trip for me.

Yeah, good. That's good. I'm glad you're decompressing. Just decompressing by playing with your desk up, down, down again.

I was doing a couple things. I was getting stuff organized. I was getting, getting unpacked.

The standing desks are like TVs. You know when the first thin plasma TVs came out, it was like cost more than a car.

Then all of a sudden, now you can buy one for less than $200. It's great. I can't believe how good it is. I know people are going to ask me which one I got. I got it on Amazon.

I just searched standing desk. That's how I just dove in from there, found the size that I wanted. It was $200.

The shed, always improving, always evolving. I don't know. I guess the framework deal, which we'll get to here in a minute. Unlike you, I have not decompressed today. I've been swimming and antitrusts reading...

I read the stuff and it just doesn't seem like there's that much news.

Yeah, I guess I'm trying to suss out this antitrust question a little more and understand what's at play. And fortunately for you, dear listener, we are joined by an expert for the final 20 minutes of this podcast in professor Gabe Feldman.

He is a professor, sports law professor at Tulane also specializes in antitrust has been following this closely, followed the framework release of the framework agreement last night, which, you know,

I don't know what that was all about. The tour said to go send it to Capitol Hill. I never, my worlds are colliding here in DC. I've walked down the street and I run into somebody's working on this case for something.

Whether it's in comms, lobbying, legal counsel, it's crazy what's going on around DC. The tour and PIF are, you know, all my neighbors are putting additions on their house thanks to this deal.

I get it. I, you know, I'm not in a political hotbed like you, but one of my neighbors is a works for a government, a foreign government. And I haven't seen, I haven't seen this neighbor in two plus weeks.

And immediately she's like, hey, I need to she doesn't say hello doesn't say, you know, how's your trip just says I need to talk to you about this, this Saudi Arabia,
