or is it think is is it is it because everyone thinks in relative terms which is like it's relative right have

you read

have you read predictably irrational by Dana Rialis or is

it generally did he well did he end up was he baking the data or was the other

people I don't know I'm not disparaging anyone but there's a there's a chapter at the beginning of where they talk about this guy getting a job in finance and you know after a few years making a few hundred thousand dollars being completely happy and then finding out that someone he started with who we thought was worse than them was making more money than he was and all of a sudden he wasn't happy anymore so this notion of like relatives speaking and then I did also write that down this chemistry argument because I remember one time we I talked to Billy Bean about this chemistry thing and he would joke about you know when's the last time you saw a really shitty team and you're like oh but they have great chemistry I mean and and then I you know what I liked about this interview it just made me think a lot about just not just sports but in general terms right if you pace on one of your company a lot of money they better be the people the person that has the right values that works the hardest that you know you know is it delivers the most that is well respected and yeah and ultimately like why wouldn't you do the exact same thing in baseball if you're the Padres and you're giving money to people potentially that don't embody the culture you'd like to to represent or maybe that is the culture you'd like to represent but it's like what do you value that the the lessons from sports to me especially from like analytic sports people that transferred a business and life are pretty fascinating so I wrote that one down to you I think

that's a great example and by the way I want to bring this sports betting really quickly you know that the whole sort of bad beat refunds I think those are a net negative and I think Matt Metcalf made this argument to me and it made a lot of sense that it's a net negative because people then expect they expect these they're like oh these other this other person got this refund when this player got injured I want my refund when this other guy gets injured that I bet on and so it ends up me you know people feel like it's not it's not fair that they didn't get it and so you know books spend money marketing but they end up actually just making everybody

pissed off yeah agreed um all right well that's our episode for this week we'll talk to you guys all again next week we're having Kade on next week is it
