Dirty 2: Live Nation and Ticketmaster Operating as an Illegal Monopoly

The episode opens with promotional segments for various podcasts, including The Clifford Show, Look Back At It, and Learn the Hard Way, before transitioning into the main topic: a federal jury's ruling that Live Nation Entertainment and its subsidiary Ticketmaster operated as an illegal monopoly in the live concert ticketing industry. The hosts discuss the implications of the verdict, including potential remedies such as structural changes or even a breakup of the two companies, while expressing skepticism about whether ticket prices will actually decrease. They also reflect on the broader economic context—rising gas and grocery prices—while questioning why so many high-profile concerts are being announced just before the ruling. The conversation shifts to the Detroit Tigers' record-breaking extension with rookie infielder Kevin McGonigal, highlighting the financial commitment to young talent. Later, the hosts discuss HBO's altered trailer for Euphoria Season 3 amid backlash over a provocative scene, touching on the show’s controversial content and its cultural impact. The episode concludes with a recurring segment, Mojo’s Secret Sound, offering a $13,000 cash prize to listeners who guess a hidden audio clue.
