The Conversationalist with Ryan MacDougall & Richard Lubin

Sports Optics, Internet Outrage & Oscars Talk


Listen Later

Ryan, Richard, and Lewis are back on The Conversationalist—minus sweet Mark this week—starting with Edmonton’s cold snap and a little parking spot beef, then sliding into the bigger question:

When something happens outside the arena… why would a league cancel the game? And are we setting a precedent that’s more about optics than logic?

From there, we zoom out into the “rage-bait” incentive structure: how outrage can drive attention (positive or negative), and why that same energy shows up in social media and even modern movies.

Then we wrap with movie talk, early Oscars picks, and the pickle juice bet that refuses to die.
