And amid it all, promoters have been buying celebrity-filled Super Bowl TV ads for crypto. They've been buying naming rights for arenas, and now, they're trying to buy candidates in elections - or, put more politely, donating to a public cause. The consumer advocacy group Public Citizen says almost half of all corporate money contributed to this year's campaigns - almost half has come from crypto backers. Rick Claypool wrote that report, and spoke with Leila Fadel.

This is FRESH AIR. Hal Needham probably was one of the most famous Hollywood stunt doubles. He did all kinds of stunts in all kinds of movies, but he got his start in Western movies and TV shows such as "Laramie," "Laredo" and "Have Gun - Will Travel." On that show, he was the show's stunt coordinator and the stunt double for its star, Richard Boone.

Terry Gross spoke with him in 2011, when he had written a memoir called "Stuntman!: My Car-Crashing, Plane-Jumping, Bone-Breaking, Death-Defying Hollywood Life."
