I'm going to request my filmmaker friend, James Dennison, sit in on the interview. He has met Joey Merlino a few times, so if enough F-bombs get exchanged, maybe I can qualify for the Merlino podcast if Mr. Merlino likes me. Dennison hated his last live interview (I think it was for his last movie, The Art Thief), so I think he'll be excellent support.

And I'll throw this out there in advance. What I do is only marginally "betting sports," since 85% of my betting volume is college football (not counting futures hedging in all sports). What I do should be considered "betting college football."

I'm not nearly as talented as that dude who won eight (or was it nine?) straight wagers on this forum. The guy won every single time he bet. What was his name? Oh yeah, The Riddler. I wonder who he really was.
I was going to make fun of you for inviting this guy who has nothing to do with sports betting but nah. Hopefully Todd can take multiple phonecalls. It'll tie up at least one incoming line...

but my hats off to you dietz. I like that you're inviting people you know to this. From my perspective it seems ballsy moreso than you needing emotional support.

My vantage of this is surely much different than yours. I am looking forward to listening and possibly participating briefly.
