S2 E34: Daily Fantasy Sports, France & India: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver 

I binged season 2 and am impatiently awaiting season 3, so much has changed and yet so much hasn't.

Kathryn Hahn is hilarious.... Her scenes with Rogen had me almost choking with laughter.

The theme song still trips me out. Words?! Who knew?!

John oliver should do an episode updating about sports betting websites like draft kings and espn bet.

I got an ad for an online poker site after watching this.

the way "sheer shutz-paw" has been a part of my vocabulary for 8 years

Man, i love this show. Now upload season 3 for us fiends. 😂

6:01 Kevin Spacey yikes, those m&ms must be dirty

I've asked RU-vid to block gambling ads for me, and ive individually blocked a load of them. I still get the same gambling ads. Hey, RU-vid. Gambling addiction kills people.

Im very excited about this upload thing, but its gonna take so much scrolling to get to the rest of my sub feed😂😂😂

26:03 Kathryn Hahn?!?!!!!

Making Seth Rogan laugh should automatically earn you a Nobel Peace Prize.

Ah damn, I had almost forgotten about the number 4 🤣

John Oliver's James Bond: A Lisence to Run Away! The Dame, who listened to him talk The Man with the Golden Voice I can't think of anymore, so you guys add to it!

Speaking of gambling, more people should play Russian roulette. Five out of six people say it's a blast!

I sold a customer $900 worth of Draft Kings "gift cards" the other night at work, so I guess nothing good came out of the NY attempt to legislate it.

I got a fucking fan duel ad on this video.

Aversion to Violence would definitely be better than Quantum of Solace.

I cannot stand turning on my TV, and every single ad break, and they still do it every 90 like clockwork; "Fanduel is now live in NC!" And then right after that, Kevin Hart appears "Draft Kings sports book in NC!" Like, damn that's crazy, but who the fucked asked?

So many were posted all at once - my for you page scroll is just John Oliver aging progressively

Was way ahead of the game on this issue!

Ya - it's a game of skill...if you're ON THE TEAM! If you can't impact the data, there is no game of skill. You DON'T gamble if you understand math.

Just realized i dont know when i stopped befoee. Thank you.

This episode hits different after the Supreme Court legalized sports gambling 😢

I have never seen all those betting commercials, but I cut the cord and ditched all the antennas more than 10 years ago.

22:26 I can't get over that the promo code on this _official ad_ for their gambling service is _astroturf._ There is no way that wasn't on purpose, they're just parading it out in the open and daring someone to notice. Amazing.

His office is going to demand he bring salsa 🍅🍅

"You're and idiot." HAHAHAHAAHAHA

This show is absolutely beautiful 🤩

Facilitating what is in effect a wager between players on a game of skill, and taking a commission for that...... sounds exactly what casinos do for poker. Ergo... if poker in a casino is regulated gambling then fantasy sport is also. The other reason it needs to be regulated as a gambling is it imposes strict regulations on the entity to prevent fraud and manipulation. e.g How do you know these organizations aren't syphoning off some winnings by using things like ghost players.

No one's acknowledging the Freaks & Geeks collab (Rogen & Starr) at the end

Anyone else notice that ads are starting to creep onto/into the channel? 😞

Even though this vid is old, it shows now sport shows have been taken over by sponsers gaming websites. whooof 🤮

Literally listening to this while putting in FanDuel baseball parlays. 😂😂😂

Bryce Dallas Howard, Christina Hendricks and Jessica Chastain look a lot more similar to each other than Amy Adams and Isla Fisher, to the point that it never even occurred to me that those two looked similar.

What he said about the British Museum applies to any number of national museums globally (I'm not saying the BM is innocent, just flagging up other info). The BM gets the worst of it because of the size of the empire, but remember what the Spanish took from S America (and elsewhere; they still have some enclaves in N Africa, remnants of larger possessions). The French, Germans, Italians plus multiple other countries had their own empires. I'm not sure if Belgium was officially an empire but it ruled African countries... And that's only the European ones. The USA, China, India and _many_ other countries invaded others, "liberating" objects. I just think it's a bit rich to pick on the one museum when there are hundreds, perhaps thousands, globally which contain items whose provenance is... dodgy!

Is that Gilfoyle from the Silicon Valley?

I like his more recent episodes on the diamond, and the monarchy

Welp, guess I have to change my username now.

I love Janice.

Woah is that Schmitt? 27:21

The irony of course is that the sites were banned...and then sports gambling was made legal! ...so...victory for what John said? He said they ARE gambling, which they were, and that they needed to be intentionally approved so they can be regulated...which I guess they are!

I've asked Y**T*** to block gambling ads for me, and ive individually blocked a load of them. I still get the same gambling ads. Hey, Y**T***. Gambling addiction kills people.

6:06 😂😮

Brits have a spice rack??

Kohinoor Diamond, not koroner

So what happened in France exactly?

Stronger than divorce: Restraining Order.

Singles day- China's equivalent to Valentine's Day. Seems kinda quaint the greetings card cabal could start a quasi national holiday feeding off of people's loneliness.

My timeline tho.

in

Oh yeah! Seth Rogan used to be funny!

Also, tea wasn't stolen.

The diamond was freely given by Singh who won it in battle. Simple. This is not a hill to die on.

Fourth

Everyone wants reparation for shit they weren't alive for 😂

6:00 You forgot to look into the future and one very specific adjatiave. 7:30 hate to break it to you…. 9:30 hate to break it to you… again….

I don't understand why it's a big deal whether or not daily fantasy apps are considered gambling or not when gambling is legal in most states anyway, so even if it's considered gambling, it wouldn't be considered illegal. Most states that i know of have a state lottery, which is definitely gambling. There's no difference. I don't participate in any of it, so I don't really care one way or the other. I just think it's silly to quibble over the classification of something that doesn't matter. This episode doesn't even discuss whether it's legal or not, just whether it should be considered gambling or not. My personal stance is like one guy said, if you have to pay to play and you have a chance to win money, it is indeed gambling.

Cracks me up that he's trying to make a country known for surrendering sound hard.

Primarily a game of skill. So's poker. And blackjack. So......

Jerrod Carmichael! He’s such a baby here

LOL. now fanduel is legal in NY...nobody has a damn spine when it comes to gambling. I love the cfo "fanduel is entertainment"

feels like half the old episodes begin with mention of some terrorist attack or mass shooting or conflict

John Oliver could absolutely be the next Jabes Bond. *Absolutely* And Isla Fisher is > than Amy Adams, but not by much.

aight yall lets talk about something actually interesting instead

Funny that he is defending the British Museum on this episode, only to make a couple of years later a complete episode about why they are the worst museum in the world.

Nov 15, 2015 doesn't seem like13 days ago . Can y'all just post when the vid came out ?
