The hosts debate the application of the "Moneyball" analogy to modern political campaigning and delegate counting.

They critique the media's use of the term to describe traditional political maneuvering.

The hosts warn of a "scam" where major cable companies offer free Wi-Fi to lock users into their ecosystems and enforce cable credential logins for streaming apps. They also discuss the NDAA 2013 and the legalization of domestic psychological operations. A "special thanks" to the Department of Defense in the film "Moneyball" is cited as evidence of government influence in media.
