Shannon and Michael open the hour reacting to Mayor Bass’s appearance on MSNBC, breaking down how she is leaning into attacking President Trump as a political strategy and what that could mean as she looks toward reelection. They dig into how wildfire anger may shape the race and whether Spencer Pratt can move past his reality TV image to be taken seriously as a mayoral candidate.
The conversation then shifts to prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi, especially after the Golden Globes leaned fully into displaying betting odds despite limited regulation and several predictions falling flat. Shannon and Michael explain why this new world of betting looks nothing like the old local bookie model.
The hour wraps with a sharp discussion about a controversial moment during a Jacksonville Jaguars post-game press conference. Shannon calls out a reporter whose fandom appeared to bleed into her questioning, while Michael explains why access and credibility matter and why being a fan is not the job when you hold a credential.
