Summary
We kick off this episode of DXP with a discussion about pro sports and how technology could actually improve the product. We address a voicemail about the use of subtitles when watching TV, which leads to a longer discussion about the quality of recent television more broadly. We spend a fair bit of time responding to a caller's question about last week's brief mention of the theory of relativity, and then conclude by engaging with a TikTok creator's thoughts on childhood boredom.
