In this episode, hosts discuss with guest Chris Liss, former Rotowire owner and podcaster, his journey into Bitcoin, Nostr, and value-for-value content models like zapping on Stacker News. They explore challenges in onboarding non-tech-savvy users to lightning payments, contrasting it with subscription services and prediction markets like Polymarket. The conversation shifts to sports, including fantasy football strategies (e.g., stacking the 49ers for a league win), paddle tennis anecdotes, and hypotheticals like hiding in pro sports or cloning NBA players (e.g., five LeBrons vs. five Currys).
Random topics include New York sports fandom correlations (Mets/Jets vs. Yankees/Giants), Eli Manning's Hall of Fame case (two Super Bowls vs. mediocre stats), Shador Sanders' draft fall, the 49ers' injury woes possibly linked to EMF from a nearby substation (with calls for mitigation), a bizarre skiing controversy involving performance-enhancing injections for suit aerodynamics, and NBA trends like aging stars dominating drafts and potential cell phone impacts on younger players' development. The episode ends on NFL quarterback classes and optimism for teams like the Giants.
Maybe you could pass at goalie for a while
If you had a reasonable amount of skating ability you could probably pass as a goalie until you were required to make any sort of challenging save. If they shoot the puck right at you you should be ok for a bit.
That's what I'm thinking. Pure surface area and reasonable luck might get you through for a while.
Especially if you are playing with a good defensive team. They can help a lot keeping guys on bad angles and out from the front of the net. I think the Canadian Women's team only gave up 2 shots in the first period against Switzerland yesterday. If you are part of a lopsided matchup like that you could hide pretty well.
Sounds like I should sign up for the NHL as a goalie
Goalie is fun. I used to play goalie a lot when I played with my buddies on the outdoor rink as a youth. They all played organized hockey and I never did but I had pretty good reflexes from playing SS and a good ability to block from playing C in baseball so I was a pretty decent.
NHL I am not so sure about. Those guys can shoot the puck over 100mph. You have a lot of padding and all but I almost rather it went in the net.
That’s possible. Maybe I can just lay down the whole time
Hey @k00b at some point will forwards be able to be received in sats or again or will they stay CCs?
Yes.
Great. Personally I don't mind getting the CCs as I will use them but I feel less inclined to do forwards when I know they are getting CCs instead of sats. I would rather just zap them what the forward would have amounted to.
I grew up snowboarding, so depending how transferable those skills are I might be able to pass.
Last longest in probably chess. At least I could just try to play defensively and stall for an hour or two
Exposed fastest, probably anything that would require me to serve a ball
Chess is a good one.
Yeah we determined tennis and golf would go sideways pretty quick.
If we got like a week to prepare, I might be able to take a similar defensive tactic in tennis and pass as someone who's having an off-day for a bit.
You must be pretty good at tennis. I might be able to serve a ball over the net, but there's no way in hell I'm returning a serve by a pro
Not tennis specifically, but I am really good at racquetball.
Compared to most other sports, I think there's a possibility that I could lose a tennis match without it being completely obvious that I didn't belong on the court at all.
Looking forward to listening
It was a lot of fun.
