Episode 138: Christian Horner is Trying to Survive

Crunching Tackles

The world's most controversial sport is enmeshed in one of its biggest controversies to date. Christian Horner—the team principal of Red Bull F1 racing—has held onto his job despite a tremendous amount of scrutiny. On today's episode, we discuss:

3:45 - We briefly recap the Oscars, covering subjects like Oppenheimer, Ryan Gosling, Lily Gladstone, and the controversial acceptance speech by Jonathan Glazer.

15:30 - Sports betting has come to North Carolina, and the online platforms are using some very creative ways to get people hooked. We talk about these marketing strategies, the risk of sports gambling, and Chad wins a bet during recording.

29:00 - We check in with college basketball, starting first with the extraordinary season by Caitlin Clark. She's the biggest star in the sport and has even overshadowed the men's game—which we confess we haven't paid that much attention to this year.

37:00 - Christian Horner survived an in-depth investigation this offseason into alleged controlling behavior and inappropriate text messages on his part. Most shockingly, Red Bull has recently suspended the alleged victim of this behavior, and are at risk of losing their elite driver, Max Verstappen.
