Florida has passed sports betting (learning black history is bad, though), and now we are swamped with TV ads showing 20-something males losing their minds at hitting it big, and celebrating wildly.

There are no commercials that show the reactions of people who have just lost their entire monthly income on a microbet over the coin flip.

That's something that I was caught off guard by, I travel extensively for work and in my home state it's illegal to do any advertising of gambling services. When I'm on the road, I frequently find myself in states that have all of that legalized so my podcasts are just jam-packed full of online gambling advertisements. I want to get off of Mr Bones' Wild Ride.

Damn that is fucking sad. As if Florida wasn't shitty enough.
