I feel all dirty
Man I have never seen as many gambling ads on tv as I have in the last 12 months, mostly sports gambling but not entirely... During hockey games is the absolute worst. Not sure how it is in the US but it never used to be like this up here. Even podcasts seem to be more about gambling than the sport itself these day.
Maybe I'll sound like a tight-ass but I don't think this is a great idea... didn't we already have enough vices and problems withpit shoving gambling down the throats of every adult and child watching and listening to sports? I'm fine with it being legal but just like cigarettes I don't think they should advertise on tv.

There is nothing more obnoxious than a non-targeted ad in your face. It sends me imto the equivalent of a roid rage.
It's on TV here all the time. And almost every single sports related podcast I listen to is sponsored by one sports betting company or another. It's beyond annoying.

A lot of mayhem in Texas lately. What's going on?!
Had a major client drop by the office today, he was visiting from out of town and had been doing lots of business with us so I invited him to see our office then go grab lunch.
Dude is a crusty old hot shot in the industry, I'm guessing he makes high six-figures a year. Shows up in board shorts and a Tommy Bahama shirt with big Oakley sunglasses, bald with a big goatee, completely looks like a Hell's Angel. Not what I was expecting from a high powered insurance broker, for starters. But he's also carrying a huge cardboard box and hands it straight over to me, and it's full of baked goods, all individually wrapped and on little disposable plates. I go "oh, did you guys have leftovers from a breakfast catered this morning or something?" He goes nope - I baked it for your whole office. How many work here? I hope it's enough.
At first I laughed and thought he was pulling me leg, but his son, who works for him tagged along, goes "no he's serious, he bakes every day." This big burly dude proceeds to tell me he has a $1000 fridge in his truck (which he doesn't drive - I'll get to that) so he can drop off baking to all his markets and clients. He bakes fancy cheeses cake, mini banana bread, beautiful cookiesApparently has a freezer full of his home baking at home. Our entire office was over the moon.
Also learned the dude has accomplished all that he has in his career, owning and selling his brokerage to a larger firm and sticking on to manage a huge book of business, all while being legally blind. He can get around fine without a guide, but can't read or drive. His favorite hobby besides baking is SKY DIVING which he does with his son who's a licensed sky diver. Icing on the cake is he uses a 12 year old flip phone with no email on it.
I aspire to give as few fucks as him

I asked for a chicken curry, not an onion-heavy vegetable curry with a tiny bit of chicken in it, you bastards.
