Micro Sports, HBO Max Shorts, and Nantucket's War on Content Creators

Boye and Chris kick things off reacting to Spider-Man: Brand New Day's record breaking box office and the Underdog acquisition by FanDuel's parent company (0:00). Then they break down World One's new "micro sports" league, 30 second competitions engineered for short attention spans and built for a TikTok generation (21:30). They dive into the viral Nantucket shop drama after a store banned creators with a "No Influencers" sign, sparking backlash and a Dave Portnoy pile on (35:24). And they close out on HBO Max launching its own vertical, TikTok style scrollable feed, and what it means for the future of how younger audiences consume premium content (48:49).
