PTFO - Meet the Most Feared Person in Silicon Valley

Le Batard & Friends Network ·

2025/06/17

Lina Khan has inspired an unusually bipartisan coalition of allies — and antagonists. As chair of the Federal Trade Commission, she became known as the most hated regulator on Wall Street. As too principled for Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Too bold for Ticketmaster and the NCAA. But Khan isn't done taking on the corporate class — or finding strange bedfellows like Steve Bannon and Michael Jordan. Can her alleged "hipster anti-trust" movement inspire a "standing army" for the people? And could she be

(34:30) Are the baseballs different in MLB this year? Yes, but no one inside baseball will acknowledge it. Andrew McCutchen will! (47:50)

Today’s word of the day is ‘rattled’ as in Oilers as in Stanley Cup as in fighting as in the Florida Panthers. That’s right. A Game 3 thrashing by the Panthers and it’s now a 2-1 series lead. The Oilers looked like the Panthers just got to their heads and they couldn’t do anything but fight and commit penalty after penalty. The Panthers are deep, scoring from most shifts. The Oilers rely so much on McDavid and Draisaitl that when they dont produce, they lose. (14:30) The Red Sox called up top

2025/06/10

The Thunder took down the Pacers in Game 2 of the NBA Finals. Success breeds copycats and we talk about which team is easier to replicate. With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Thunder run a one man centerpiece offense. The Pacers, on the other hand, mimic Tyrese Haliburton’s style and have three-point shooters. Who is more rare, a smart point guard or a once-in-a-lifetime talent? He just passed Allen Iverson for most points through first two career NBA Finals games, but is he better than ’06 Dwayne

The Pacers beat the Thunder in a thrilling Game 1 of the NBA Finals. In OKC everyone wears the stadium shirts and sings Titanium by Sia.

Today’s word of the day is ‘answer’ as in response as in Thunder as in NBA Finals as in Pacers as in SGA. Oklahoma City rolled in Game 2 like everyone thought they would.
