I would say he likes, not necessarily in this order, boating around SF Bay, his two dogs, good food and wine, and (especially) himself. Not so much a hypocrite as a narcissist.

Isn't that true for most radio/TV "hosts"?

No, MOST actually believe in the lunacy they spew out.

Watched both episodes. MEHHHHHH. Sorry don't like it at all. I was contemplating putting cholula in my eyes when the gamblers were on screen.

And what's with the pro-America nonsense in both episodes? Like there isn't horse racing anywhere else. Boo.

I noticed the "America" stuff too, but I think that is leading more to the idea of the "american dream" than patriotism. The idea that with hard work, perseverance, and a little luck... a person can get rich in this country.
Examples being Turo Escalante- immigrant who goes from selling carrots to top horse trainer. The jockeys, the gamblers, and I imagine Ace are going to be from humble beginnings as well. Think Horatio Alger more than Reagan.

I just watched the 2nd episode and thought is was TERRIFIC. In this kind of format it takes more than a few shows to establish and get to know characters. By the end of the first season and into next year I think this show is going to be a huge hit. Hope so!!
