The Kentucky Derby isn’t just a horse race; it’s one of the biggest money-making weekends in sports.

In this episode, we break down why it’s called “the most expensive two minutes in sports,” with over $250 million wagered on the race itself and more than $450 million bet across the entire weekend.

We also get into one of the Derby’s most iconic traditions: the Mint Julep. Over 150,000 are sold in just two days, generating millions in revenue. But what’s even crazier? It’s the exact same drink whether you’re paying $22… or $5,000; the difference is all in the cup and the status.

Then we shift into the business of modern internet growth, breaking down Clavicular’s $600,000/month clipping strategy and how repost networks have quietly become the new PR machine for creators.

And finally, we dive into the NFL’s push to make referees full-time employees and why many of them are pushing back. Despite earning around $385,000 per year, many refs have high-paying careers outside of football and don’t want to give them up.

From sports gambling and luxury experiences to creator strategy and league politics, this episode covers the business behind the headlines.
