Liz is joined by TrueHoop’s Henry Abbott to talk through the funny business surrounding the sale of the Lakers, the investigation into Mark Walter, and the increasingly strange world of sports ownership—who actually owns the teams, where the money comes from, and what happens when private capital takes over professional sports.

Ballistic: The New Science of Injury-Free Athletic Performance by Henry Abbott

i wish this episode was 4 hours long

Martin Kurien

WOW Liz! Great episode! 🙌🙌🙌

Nate from Maine

SOMEONE GET BILL SIMMONS ON THE HORN AND TELL HIM HE MADE A TERRIBLE MISTAKE!!! Liz is the 2017 Warriors of sports podcasters, Adam Friedland is at best the 2026 Warriors, probably more like the Wizards

harpy

I just want COINS and HOOPS - that's all a gal could need

Brother Love

Wow liz you did SUCH a good job with this one. I mean holy shit!

Welfare state

She couldn't even wait one episode, that's awesome.

Liz would be everyone's favorite high school substitute teacher

Ben penis

MOVE OVER PABLO ITS LIZ FRANCZAK'S TURN TO FIND OUT

Stevie

Well of course!

aficionado

Liz initiates her hostile takeover of the Trueanon podcast

Jawn Feddermang

This is the best podcast ever. Mungo is way smarter than Bracelet. Liz has taken the place as gay icon upon the Dolly’s death.

J Garcia

Holy shit, TrueAnon x NBA cross over episode!! I thought I’d never see the day. I’m glad we’re not getting another 2-part episode on jizz. This is legendary. Thank you Liz.

YIMBY 4 HEAVEN

🎶 lets give em somthin' to type about 🎶

Cyber Sleuth John B

2 things I like about Liz. She’s really smart about sports and money She’s not a pedophile 1 dunk for YC He always mispronounces “contemplative”

Elliot robinson

Free the real and fuck the fake stop faking the funk we are officially back in business bitch this is what the FUCK I’m talking about!!! Real Liz heads back in this bitch

JP

Pablo Torre doxes that baby

EB

Hoops talk 🙌

Tim O'

True Anon is my favorite sport / I like the way Liz dribble up and down the court

ally

Yay basketball episode!! Life is tough for college basketball fans these days

Jlev

I was imagining Madison square garden with the lights all shut off and the roving spotlights and lasers as Liz and YC run out of the sports tube onto the court and Liz does little punch jabs and cocks her neck side to side and does that arm swingy thing players do to warm up and YC is right behind her and does the two finger kiss and then big ups to god thing. They’re both wearing sweatbands and true anon shiny bball shorts and jerseys. Liz is Angel number 444 and YC is 420, they look up to the rafters and do the heart shape with their hands as the shiny jersey with the number 69 and the name Bruce gets hoisted up and hung above. The crowd goes wild. Then they sit down at a podcast ready table with mics and stuff and then the TA music cuts in and Ellie the elephant from the New York Liberty starts throwing it back.

Andrew Wacker

Excuse me, but you're thinking of the aristocat Thomas O'Malley

tursi

as a low T male this excites me

Cameron Young

It happened!! I’ve been pushing for years!!! Thank you!!

Jlev

She had to

Alex C

Liz I'm so glad you've returned, and so excited to listen to you go on this journey. Welcome back!

Jlev

Oh this would be a very satisfying bow 🎀

colin

I haven’t listen yet so maybe this is covered in the episode, but EPL owners (mostly American private equity clowns and Saudi/Emirati oil barons) are colluding during player sales to skirt financial fair play rules and inflate prices. Unfortunately this has a ripple effect throughout the entire sport: pricing some clubs out. It hits the Bundesliga and 50+1 particularly hard. Just as an example, Man City bought Savinho for £30m, two years and two goals later he gets sold to Tottenham for nearly £70m. Just today Nicolas Jackson gets sold for twice his worth. These people really have to ruin everything they touch 💀

drizzly_november

Brace shoulda hooped instead of podcasting cause he tall as hell!

Jlev

I’m on my knees for a Liz Lara and Carey yap

Jlev

Jesus Christ this is true huh

jon eagan

I paused Pablo for this

Adam

Compliment Duplex: 1. Unbelievable hosting from Liz 2. Impeccable producing from YC

Jlev

What a blessed child you are mungo

ayaM

team sweetie cuties is not for sale!

joancutesac

Liz and YC holding it down like we knew they would. Congrats, Brace!

Tim O'

Isn't it great?

@And now I want a pale blue and coral red basketball jersey for true anon merch….

Mango Bolsonaro

Liz clearly trying to quickly move on from the Libbed out PutinCon tangent lol

tastygoulash

This guy is fucking lame; tell him to shuttup about Russia and dribble.

Class Warfare

Prob the best episode of the show, no notes

Wilian Moreira

I was expecting Pablo Torre but I am not disappointed at all, great collab

Meeki

Player valuations in the PL is simply nuts. Speaking of the Spurs, they shelled out another £70m on Marmoush. That's two former ManCity players for £140m.

Coindexter

NBA SZN BABY THANK YOU LIZ

Squints

FINALLY he is gone and we can talk hoops, lfg

wormhole

Intro track sampled by juelz santana for the song “daddys home”

sabadofabio

SportsAnon is here babyyy

Twall

Pack it up boys, BroAnnon is over 😔

mimi

SUPanon 🙏

Bernaardvarkian

Guest has lots of historical sports finance knowledge but is infected with lib-brain and is democracy-pilled. I’d love to see him in a dialogue to deepen his take at 32mins about “deeply undemocratic countries” like Saudi, UAE, Israel, Russia (but not Iraq War era US) doing sportswashing via team ownership. I haven’t finished the ep but there’s clearly needs to define the top stakes at play over who owns/controls what parts of the sports world and what mechanisms make it easy/possible. Obvs the enrichment of billionaires via the accumulation of parasitic capital (sports asset speculation) at the expense of sports fans is one. Look forward to finishing the ep and learning more from the guest.

Tor i

NEVER KILL YOURSELF!! LIZ EPISODE ON BALL

Ben

Finally we can have a proper conversation I’m so excited for LizAnon

Bert

Sports, money, and war? Pffft imma send this girl shit to my AI girlfriend.

Abbas Araghchi

Charlie Kirk Bin Laden Belden and Mungo Franczak fans tap in here 👇

Not a Doctor

Yesss let the Liz era commence

Abbas Araghchi

Would literally be all of the greatest voices in podcasting in one episode

Frankie

I would love an episode where liz talks about all her freud and jungian shit because that shit rocks

Abbas Araghchi

Hit the Speed try not to react face when he said Bellingcat

Z F

This is just a compliment sandwich with the layers shuffled around

Billy Clinton

You guys have no idea how badly I want you guys to talk a lot about private credit. TrueAnon’s Political Economy hour eps are always hits. Belden got to do a jizz double-ep series, let Franczak get weird with it!

Devin

Wrong, I complimented Liz and critiqued YC. You just don’t know how the compliment duplex works.

Alec

Nobody can argue that the Alan Parson’s project song isn’t an enormous banger and the perfect nba intro song

AL

YC my number one beloved angel boy.

Gator lord

Aw YC you’ve always been here

rebz

Hey, great episode Liz!

Gabriel

vet your guests for russia derangement please, Americans are well capable of fraud (especially in sports!) without mystical eurasian influence.

she’s STARTIN

LIZ TALKS BASKETBALL !!!! I knew this was gonna be the first ep without Brace

Chatty YC is BACK baby, and he’s lotus-free!

Now THAT'S a compliment sandwich!

Adam silver looks exactly like the nazi whose face melts off in raiders of the lost ark

Alex Leo Swenson

Star Wars references now punishable by death

Evil Tadej Pogacar

Liz on leave; Brace does a series on cum. Brace on leave; instant NBA episode from Liz.

Jesusgod

Hey ladies are you happy now? The opening 10 minutes was awful. Thanks women

Jesusgod

Don’t loop us in with you ladies plz. We are not the same lol

taylor

ok i started listening to trueanon when i had my first baby upwards of a decade ago lmao. and started watching basketball when i had my second baby last year and i think this is a sign that this ep is blessed. for me at least.

Jesusgod

Yeh the cum ep rules. Legendary ep. This just Pablo Torre crap. Sad to see what they’ve become.

Jesusgod

Pablo finds out he’s gay

Major Pisano

Thanks for always being there yc. Someone has to do it.

Ben

My office started charging monthly for the water cooler water

Keith

Go Sports!

Neil

Jfc, Brace gone two minutes and Liz gets a 'Bellingcat r coool' lib guy on? And talks about humanity's worst sport? There's yer duplex. Eta: needs more cum.

cool_guy_

I hope sports is the star wars of girl trueanon

Ant koz

Finally… if Liz doesn’t do some eastern conference power rankings like even casually, atleast talk hoops.. I’ll cry

Gabe Itch

Atta girl! Atta boy!

colin

Yes exactly, to me it seems like they are colluding to drive prices up and get around FFP. If you notice, most of the transfers now in the EPL are between two EPL teams. In other words, just moving players around the league; purchases from the BL, La liga, etc have dropped off massively because most of those clubs just can’t compete financially. A good example of teams getting priced out is Dortmund and Manzambi. Villa sells Morgan rogers for an insane fee to Chelsea, then Villa buys Manzambi for £70m or whatever it was. 10 years ago he’d have gone to Dortmund for £25m or so, but now it’s to a mid level prem club. Something fishy is going on behind the scenes and I’ll eat my hat if these private equity clowns aren’t the cause of it. The shame of it is that it affects the entire sport.

Big Tex

5 seconds in and already a banger!! I fucking love Liz!!!

William

Let’s goooooooo

Nik

Great episode, but incredibly funny for the guest to lead off with “yeah I love the pod and it’s taught me a bit about how the world works” and then immediately start screeching about Russia. You could practically feel Liz’s eye rolls when he brought up bellingcat lol.

Ben

Brace is gone and we get an NBA episode…you love to see it! Liz rules!!!

Drew Scott

My hoop dreams came true, Liz talking ball

MoldyTolge

Buzzy Krongard being mentioned really deserved a Kill Bill siren

Jake Torrey

Fuck the NBA. Ain't watching that clown league until we get the Sonics back

Kauai

Liz takes the reins and the guest immediantly starts praising bellingcat lol

Bruno

A soviet apartment block of compliments for this episode

nick b

we need Liz's additions to the "Observations" series. Just uncut, raw Liz thoughts

Jose

So when is Yung Chomsky going to have Yung Chomsky Jr and leave Brace and Liz to sound mix by themselves?

Samuel Z Goldberg

I like that Liz pronounced Bechdel like béchamel sauce.

Gene

Liz being insanely smart and nerdy about basketball is wild to me because i thought all those people were baseball heads (all tea no shade from a baseball head myself)

A C

Brace who?

Throw Away

I was watching the draft once and my sister walked by the TV and screamed when she saw Adam Silver

mitchell

Maybe we’ll get the King of All Cosmos for the next episode

Anderson .Paakistan

The transfer fees to the Saudi League are also suspect (looking at you Darwin to Al Hilal)

Alex C

Nice episode, I'd love to hear more about private credit. If we're doing money eps, would you all consider having Matt Bruenig on? He's a cool guest

gtgfast

I would love to he able to send this to NBA fan friends of mine that aren't standard trueanon audience (but would be sympathetic and like it)

Han

we love this liz

Clark Clark

Liz you are so brave and i’m so proud of you for posting this

colin

Right, and one of the main culprits behind it all (dickhead Todd Boehly and “BlueCo”) has known business ties in Saudi Arabia. They really need to do some sort of reform or something, I’m not sure exactly what, but a good start would be making it so that you can’t own an entire ecosystem of teams (City football group, BlueCo, etc). Beyond that maybe you could have some sort of third party set or review fees so that it’s more transparent and not all shady backroom dealings.

Mark Mountain

Brace made us listen to 2 episodes about cum, and Liz already brought us sports. NEVER COME BACK BRACE

Aaron Enold

Finally brace is gone so we can talk about ball with our bros

Bill Vog

Podcast is still so good even when one of the hosts is away. It says alot about this pod, it's that good

Shyan Khan

“i’m so impressed by your memory” we are always impressed by liz

Miles Carter

Mungo working on his jumper already

Hot Rod

“AAAAAAND NOW….”

Vote True no matter Hoop

we're so mad in portland about the stadium deal

This ep Roundball Rocks!

Natalie J

I knew we were finally gonna get all the basketball episodes Liz wants to make with Brace at home!

Yes Liz you slayed this the house down boots I love LizAnon

HoopAnon

John Waaben

1. I enjoyed the analysis of the sycophancy based economy 2. This episode made me think about how the Romans and Byzantines had political factions based on Chariot teams. Neat!

Shifty Comfort

This is so great I hope brace never comes back.😉

Jack

Lis get Austin Coppock while Brace is gone please

Avé Rose

this is such a good one. wish i had thought of it myself.

Brendan Kneeland

The highest Patreon tier should allow for one (1) yearly Katamari session with Liz. I’d gladly go into further credit card debt for that

cmanenarwhale

wow liz and YC this was a great podcast! i really liked how you roasted adams bald ass, your dynamic w YC is fun to observe, and reminded us of the evil MSG opps

Meowzedong

Finally, get rid of all that lame nonsense and talk about real important issues.

Katrina Greschner

Hats off to Liz for letting all those libtard Putin comments go .I sure couldn't have

Katrina Greschner

I'd would have added Ukraine to his list just to see his reaction

Spencer McKee

I humbly request an episode on clown college

Katrina Greschner

Lol Oh it's kinda fun listening to this level of derangement

Britt Bush

Compliment Duplex: First Floor: Liz does a great job showing her knowledge of the NBA’s business in this episode. Second Floor: Liz and Henry taught me a lot in this episode about the economics of modern pro sports ownership. I was going to leave a Compliment ADU for Young Chomsky, but the zoning variance needed for such an act is currently delayed before my City Council.

Katrina Greschner

To be fair, 5 months olds are usually smatter than newborns

jay alan

The Wolves are going all the way this year folks! 🌲😎

Masda Bugg

Guest was great, YC rock, Liz is amazing

nate

liz, excellent episode. can we get a state of the league x trueanon ep next? thank you

Brent

Baby Brace flies in!!! Thank you Y.C., for always being there. And Liz… excellent episode.

Jonathan Walls

Haven’t listened yet but I’ve been told this is the greatest episode in the history of podcasting.

Sarah Ernst

We’re talking hoops bitch let’s fuckin GO

nightshade

The era of Liz starting off strong. Just wish the guest was maaaybe 50% less lib-brained and russia derangement syndrome-pilled. I nearly burst out laughing during the putincon, navalny, and bellingcat bits. calling roman abramovich a "spy" as if he wasn't already the fucking governor of a whole russian autonomous district... liberals are not a serious people lmfaooo. Liz, ignore all this, you're still amazing and flawless as always. Fantastic episode

Trish R

YC and Liz are interacting and I love it!

Nik

Liz/Pablo Escoball crossover episode would feed generations

Sarah Ernst

Holy cow this guy is soy!

Juliette

Liz supremacy

G

Money and war girl talk please

comradecarpetcandy

Totally fantastic first podcast with only the adults ❤️

Hasufel

The Liz era is off to a great start!

niceguy909

Great episode TrueAnon! I really liked Liz’s in-depth introduction on the history of sports team ownership. One thing that I think could be improved for next time is nothing as the episode was flawless. However, I did really like Liz’s ability to connect the circle of ultra-rich NBA owners to the Epstein/Leon Black class. This is a great foundation & I’m looking forward to where the podcast goes from here!

Ross Moore

We got cum episodes when Liz was out and now get sportsball epsidoes with brace out? booooo

Mark Owen

Apparently being paid to be in Paul Allen's band while his yacht was cruising the Med was a good time.

Erich

Good episode Liz! Compliment 1: I thought the episode was very entertaining 2: I thought the episode was (like all Liz-led episodes) very informative!!!

gibbypatrol

Excited for this new era in trueanon. Great ep Liz

Percy Plump

I was even soyfacing a bit myself when he said all the Russia Russia Russia shit and then topped it off by saying a Russian female friend of his pointed out how he believes any nonsense he hears about Russia and he laughed it off. #BelieveWomen

LB

incredible professionalism shown by Liz in the face of a suggestion that she could have possibly gone to see Avenue Q!! fun ep and we NEED a deeper dive on Putincon when BBB is back.

Alexander Johnson

Glen Taylor is an evil man in many ways. One of his worst actions was verbally promising Kevin Garnett part ownership of the T-Wolves if he came back at the end of his career in 2015. KG came back to mentor Wiggins & KAT (which admittedly didn't really work out) and when he retired Glen Taylor just went "what verbal promise? that never happened." TrueAnon rule: Always get it in writing, especially with snakes like Glen Taylor.

Tea for the Tillerman

I love when I hear a big law factoid I can tell my lawyer wife after

Christopher Price

clearly written before he got to the part about the NBA, CIA and Microsoft

Christopher Price

or arsenal trying to offload Martinelli to Saudi Arabia. you got a guy who was around for the bad years and was a critical super sub during the title run and reincarnates into Pele every time he hears the champions league anthem, and who also had a fine world cup that involved scoring a game winning goal that was set up by the new guy, Bruno. but now he's only fit as capital to finance tapping up alveraz?

Mungo Franczak

I miss him already bro ts is so fucking funny

j h

1. good job liz! many smart and great words! 2. looking forward to the next time y'all get pablo torre on the pod, since henry was basically parroting his reporting, sometimes literally word-for-word. 3. go spurs go baybeeeeeee

Christopher Price

Adam and stavvy were on here once and stavvy spent the whole show telling Adam to shut and calling him a casual. I think maybe Adam knows ball but it doesn't jibe with his dumb baby routine.

Percy Plump

This Henry fella needs de-liberalization education because he could be charming but some of this was painful 😭

Christopher Price

it's such a bad deal. we have to slash $70 mil from the budget and you want to give twice that to an out of state billionaire ? and without even seeing a mockup?

Drew Scott

Clippers have always made their tickets affordable it isn’t them “shipping in poor people” lol

Christopher Price

even as a trail blazers fan my brain goes psychedelic hearing Sirius

се

good lord the guy is an espn sports journalist who clearly has existed as a professional in a very mainstream, perhaps the most mainstream part of US culture. of course she let them go, that's what you do when someone who clearly isn't a part of your online subculture (look I'm here too and I don't like it either but that's what it mostly ends up being) is politely speaking with you and isn't eyeballs deep in the history and theory that you are. what would you have said? "well, we need to stop this interview so you can go and catch up on our bellingcat dossier?" even if most of the analysis brought to bear against the "popular narrative" regarding things like this organization or what have you is legitimate, that doesn't mean that any significant portion of the planet is listening or cares. this country has no understanding of anything political outside of what we would chide as chudded or libbed out. i have never met a single people in the flesh in my life who would or could distinguish between liberal and left. you have to start meeting people a bit closer to where they at, or at least realize how far away from them that you are

Sam L

yung chomsky solo arc next??

blazed uncle

Liz, thank you. I’ve been wondering what Adam Silver’s whole deal was since I became an NBA fan about four months ago

Lena

Am i the only one who isn't stoked about the sports talk lol. I hate it :((

Colin Clark

How do you mention Edward jay Epstein without grasping that he is the guy they hired to destroy critics of the fucking warren commission

Jeremy

We need some lizanon merch idk

SM

Liz: 1) your intellect is unparalleled 2) your sports knowledge is impressive 3) great job hosting

nick b

The state allocation is even more aggravating - they're basically cutting the same amount in medicare and instead we're just giving it to Dundon. Same with the stupid MLB allocation - we don't need more sports

Soph

we love liz

Liz Turner

I love Liz Sports Podcast!!!!

Nick

Two things, both are compliments: 1. I always want to hear about the private credit. 2. Not letting this man know that Brace Belden can dunk feels a little unethical.

Z F

I'm reading an implied critique of Liz in your critique of YC, but maybe you intended it differently

mex207

Such a great episode! Looking forward to Liz’s reign 👸 ! Thank you YC 🙌 sending 💕 to baby brace, real baby brace and Mrs. Brace.

LizB69

More bball, baby!

Luv 2 hear a Liz ep for balance. Was wondering what this would be like when she was gone. Yung Chompsky the goat. Could we get brace sound on the ourtro? *cocks gun*

sean graf

This is Liz's cum episode. Two nice things: 1 great interesting topic I am legit so excited to learn about. 2 I'm happy to see liz doing her own thing knowing this is an interest of hers which usually she is not able to explore on the podcast, and now she gets to share that passion on the show with all the Liz Loons and Belden Brats 🥰

docbrownn

All credit to Liz for leading the comeback. Even tho Abbott’s outro clanked off the front rim and killed a fan 30 rows up.

MirrorOooMirror

What do you mean? There is no propaganda in America. 🇺🇸 🐷

Grangus

Liz is the GOAT of T.A. - best episode in history of the podcast. The fact that she was willing to admit she did not listen to the previous episodes she did not participate in takes courage and shows journalistic integrity. Very brave and cool. I did apply for an A.D.U permit - young Chomsky - good job. Great positional player. The best 6th man in the game. Good performance coming off the bench. Sound mix and witty repartee is an all timer.

Major Pisano

…And bracelets braced gently… as mungo giggles sweetly… and yc is hard at work carrying for the days recordings. The baby’s are so loved and cared for truly anons. As the gourmand rests, the voice of reason remains strong in its return, ready with the rock of true hope, the top ranking source of sound holds firm. The world will go on, the children will be cared for and spoken of, their epic wheel will move forward. The children will get what they are looking for and the love they need, yes the true anon family of light and good will prevail. God speed.

Major Pisano

Will there be a rare coin dexter appearance when brace is on maternity leave?

Cal

TrueHoopAnon - ah yes basketball Pods and true anon, the only podcasts I listen to. What a day! :)

Turdferg24

This guy seems to care a lot bout Russia and acting like America is a victim of foreign intervention

Kompromatic

Feel like an NBA episode has been teased for years, thank you for finally delivering!!!

Sixten Heekin

Liz can finally realize her dream of turning this podcast into a sports and finance podcast. Brace must be liberated at all costs.

J.Wo

Except for those gayz who give zero effs about sports. Also, #gaysForYC

J.Wo

I dreamt of the day when Liz would return and the reign of Star Wars discussion terror would end.

Michael S. Judge

I can confirm, from an extremely reliable source, that Paul Allen constantly ate at a restaurant that was essentially billionaire Hooters. The food seemed like the Applebee's-tier version of Standard Rich LA Bullshit, and all the waitresses (women only) were hot girls between 21 and 27, I think. But they had to be CLASSY hot, you see, not "Y'all ready to honk on some titties?" hot. Black short-sleeve turtlenecks, Chelsea boots, knee socks, you get the idea. Mr. Allen would "allegedly" get trashed and commandeer a huge booth for many hours at a time, "asking the girls about their lives."

Wheres the ADU you stingy fuck

Sillycrow123

we listen and we don’t judge.

Adam

ADU: the guest was pretty OK some of the time, I suppose! i'll listen regardless!

autmnsky

Yung and Liz are awesome as usual, but this blue maga journalist is making this ep unbearable😭. Someone tell him this ain't bluanon/libanon.

Sydney Thomas

Yay!!! I <3 Liz! What a wonderful episode, I learned so much!

Nick

I hope YC gets a lot of money

MirrorOooMirror

I disagree, you don’t just let things go that are not true. You can always remain friendly while correcting people and calling out a “popular narrative” aka propaganda, when you see it. You don’t have to do it in a rude or condescending or lefty loon sorts way. Letting lies go is not meeting people closer, it’s ceding reality to the enemy.

Have you considered that podcasts aren’t that serious or important?

summer

Yes, I’m happy and you’re welcome 😘

Liz episodes are about sports and Brace episodes are about cum

I will say that Armand Hammer if he was a spy it would have been for the Soviet Union not modern Russia

lots of observations that end with the singular conclusion “okay!”

Sorry guys... Just unsubscribed. I can't anymore. This was Epstein-related true crime once upon a time But I genuinely don't know what it's meant to be now. Mozel

Liz this episode was fantastic. I would love for you to "get in the weeds" on any topic that interests you, don't shy away from it, it's never been anything but interesting and entertaining when you go in depth on some topic. YC your Brace impressions made me feel like he was still with us, please keep doing them. YC, thank you for all the work you do that I can't notice, because without you there wouldn't be a TruAnon for me to listen to.

Holy fuck, LIz. I have never heard a podcast so good

limbolul

honestly pretty antisemetic!

Mungo vs Charlie KIrk Belden

i’m new to the world why is what he said bad

limbolul

why does liz hate chalamet so much he’s literally the most vanilla guy ever

Andrew Rassling

This is interesting. Seeing a russiagate lib brush against Marxist analysis. The commissioner DOES work for "the money" after all. I like the parts I even disagree with. Good pull Liz!

Sam de Waele

The best part about a Liz episode is that it begins with something like basketball and then within 15 minutes we’re talking about Putin and Robert Maxwell

Joshua Baker

Wait, guest is claiming Abramovich was/is a spy?!?! GTFOH. Sure he may be a pro Russian partisan, but claiming he’s a spy now???? C’mon man…that’s lame. Expect better from this show and first time I’d consider unsubscribing

Joshua Baker

Roman Abramovich was a spy now for Putin in of all places London?!?! And that was only ‘discovered’ after Ukraine invasion? GTFOH! Wtf is TA pushing these days? Y’all used to be better. I’d be cool with an EP a month to avoid dealing with Russophobia and fluff to maintain the schedule of weekly eps. This guest is weak sauce. Fenway Sports Group BEEN a freaking sports hedge fund for over a decade. Don’t believe me look it up. NBA is using Bill Chisholm ownership group to drive up value of Celtics as ‘second’ most valuable nba franchise behind LA(NY thanks to Dolan owning MSG is legit most valuable franchise due to real estate). That’s all in the name of the failing expansion of the league. Hint…Seattle residents, like last time, don’t want to pay for a new stadium on behalf of a new hedge fund ownership group. Latest stage of ‘expansion’ just may be Trailblazers relocating from Portland who also won’t pay for new stadium relocating to Vegas. Do the math, NBA and pro sports in general are experiencing the tendency of the rate of profit to decline. NBA like AI is on there precipice of a crash like pro sports in general. That’s the real episode, not this nonsense. Instead TrueAnon is now tailing Pablo Torre Finds Out…YIKES And this AIN’T a shot at recently new mother Liz(congratulations!) This is a shot at the show itself. Would totally understand y’all letting go and taking a break. Cmon yall can do better. Hitler, Putin and spies in London in 21st century??? 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

Robbie

Jeff Bezos has just bought into Liverpool FC — the first football club in England to have established its own supporters union. Should be fun….

Nik

Not commenting on the morality, just the irony of someone claiming to have internalized the information and worldview discussed on the show and then in their guest spot bring up US state department talking points about a foreign adversary in a conversation mainly centered on American sports. Liz handled it well imo by keeping the conversation on topic and moving along while offering some pushback like “well we have a lot of things run by the mafia here too we just don’t call it that”.

Max

If Brace can do two cum episodes, Liz can do at least one private credit episode for the finance sisters.

Hamilton

Great episode. I enjoyed the 1. Liz's basketball insights 2. Liz's finance/banking insights.

Zachy

what every woman wants to hear after making a compelling argument about capitalism, sports and ownership: “you have such a good memory… you just listed off so many facts.”

GG Allin Dulles

Liz and YC are the only hosts and they have always been the only hosts; occasional guest Brace is a columnist for thriving punk monthly maximum rock'n'roll. He can do a little bit of heroin every now and then, it's not a big deal. In silicon valley, a plucky startup a small startup founded by a normal and socially adept south african man, originally called "Cigly" but now known as "Packaday" is preparing to roll out the cigarette that's good for you. Across the ocean, after a short and VERY easy war, a coalition of the willing (Usa, Iraq, Palestine, Libya, Vietnam and the Korean Union) now occupies a once belligerent middle-eastern country and everyone there appreciates it and is very sorry for that stuff they did. Back in Washington DC, reading the headlihes over breakfast and looking out on the White House lawn, president Donald J. Trump (they/them) thinks "gosh I'm glad I never messed with this Epstein guy!" before turning to an article about a project at CERN to connect the internet to heaven so we can all Facetime with our deceased loved ones (and they're ALL in heaven unless they were like hitler or something.) Over in ADX Florence, Benjamin Netanyahu smiles, appreciating the ray of sunlight on his cell wall from his single tiny window, as the same sunlight gleams off the facades of two identical (almost! 😉) towers standing tall above the greatest city in da world baybee!!!

GOOBER

I loved when Liz called Braces baby low iq

soffter

i think the na-na-na theme for katamari should be in rotation for when liz inevitably says it several more times i cant wait 💪

Jeffery Hepstein

Not to mention his citing of Catherine Belton, Khordokovsky’s liar for hire. Belton — was sued for libel for fabricating parts of her book whole cloth. She lost and had to apologize to an oligarch and her publisher pulped some prints.

max

Liz thank u for bringing attention to the bullshit public funding situation we're seeing over here in Portland... Yes,,, maybe we need a new Moda redevelopment,,, but not on the public dime with the public held at gunpoint to keep the Blazers. As others have said, good luck moving them somewhere else and expecting dividends. The reason the Blazers make money is Portland loves them. I don't think Kansas City is gonna suddenly become Rip City because you give them our team. (All this from someone who's never watched a Blazers game, IDGAF I just want my city investing in shit that actually helps make life better...) If we're gonna invest money, let's buy the team greenbay style. I'd go see the Blazers play and even buy a freaking t shirt if I owned a stake via my tax dollars.

Yay Liz time!!! Life is good

Is this the beginning of “Henry Week”?

Not a single god damn mention of cum without brace. Fuck this

Christopher Mesler

I love you Liz and Yung chomsky and also I must say, it somehow makes me feel better listening to this podcast when both the hosts are also parents like me 😊

Freaky boy

You’re not gonna believe this bro

Slik Smoothie

Lost a significant amount of respect for Liz after her Knicks comments disgusting

I’m walking while listening right now LIZ 😤

I tried reading Putin’s People. It is clearly western propaganda, and I just couldn’t. Felt like the type of book that would be assigned reading in a “Russian Politics” course at any University of Zios found around the western world.

Joelio

It’s a weird little nugget, but Shohei Ohtani has a clause in his record breaking contract (loaded with deferments) that stipulates that if Mark Walters leaves or sells the dodgers - he can void the remainder of his contract. He gets paid $2 mil a year while playing and $68 mil per year for ten years after the contract ends. It’s a bizarre contract.

Joelio

Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman must guest

Egg Moron

What’s with this guy’s libbed out Putin mania?

MirrorOooMirror

The guest still thinks democracy is real. He’s like a sheltered privileged child who still believes in Santa Clause as a teenager.

Alexander

They have already…

Yeah, shun the last vestiges of monoculture, great idea, disconnect completely from humanity why don’t ya

You are very well regarded

Putin conference really got this guy eh?

girl bosswoman

Amazing, great, lovable episode. The people want more Liz!

FairIsleMonch

Proof that basketball is to Liz what semen collection is to Brace

Jingle Jangler

Finance bores me terribly and sometimes I dont care for those eps. This however was super good, these two could do a whole series together. Great dynamic and fun. Also... DOX THAT BABY

Elias Middendorf

Long time listener, first time commenter: Love that brace talked about sperm when liz is gone and liz about sports when brace is gone. Great episode and even though it might be a complex show, i’d really like to hear more of liz’s thoughts on private credit

Kevin M

A baby? Memory? What can't she do?!

Svetie

I liked that the episode was on something i never thought about before! Great job Liz!

Chloe

Thank you for always being there Young Chomsky

Lauren Olamina

Great episode. I care not about basketball but I was still enthralled. My favorite part was when Henry talked about the pie shop and the equity capitalist. Every time I think late-stage capitalism can't prove itself to be any worse, I am reminded of how horrific it is.

Jay Robinson

Lib brain took over what could have been a great pod. No mention of Ishbia??

Adam Silver is Nosferatu

Okay so lemme get this straight, Putin is to blame? 😑

Great compliment duplex!

chewbacca201

“Russia-evil” and lib-brained guest, impossible to finish episode unfortunately… love Liz though!

June Bendich

I got into the NBA because of the Knicks and now I get to learn more from Liz ☺️ great episode thanks Liz and YC 🫰🏼

NitroDickclapp III

Just wanted to give my duplex of compliments; Liz, great as always. Excellent accent that my son finds endlessly fascinating. Great guest, really liked that guy, great laugh, loved the coffee shop bit. And wow, what a producer, what quality, what a fine, fine mix. El primo. I also think producer has the best jokes, esp funny bcos no one seems to laugh at them except me. Top quality shit.

Kay Dee

Liz you are doing an amazing job. Even though it some times hurts my nerdy feelings that you shit all over fantasy and video game stuff, I appreciate you teaching me about sports and the financial world. Young Chomsky is also doing such an amazing job, as always. I am trying to catch up on the entire pod (only two more years worth of audio to go!) and finished Keep the Dream Alive recently, fantastic and inspiring. Liz, again, you are doing such an amazing job with the podcast. I often feel there are two wolves within me and they very much remind me of you and Brace. You balance each other out wonderfully. I hope this compliment duplex passes building code.

Russian billionaires are intelligence assets hopefully he can make the connection for himself for people here

Finally some hoops that is liz

Euan McElhinney

I felt the psychic damage liz was taking while this guy kept going back to the Russia well

henry is my goat but his attitude towards liz knowing ball felt pretty patronizing. bummer

Bellingcat was/is the cia/mi5’s attempt to copy Wikileaks as a way to coopt and distract from their amazing work

I would loveeee an episode about the supersonics both the 06 sale and the current bidding war
