So weird week. But hey, I'm happy to 22 00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:15.159 be back. I don't know if it's because I was 23 00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:18.480 so busy during the holidays, meaning both days I was off. 24 00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:22.840 Great time, celebrating family and Christmas and you know, well 25 00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:25.079 celebrating Christmas with family, a bunch of family, and it's 26 00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:26.719 been awesome. In fact, I still have some this weekend 27 00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:30.079 that I that I've got planned. So it was great. 28 00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:32.680 But maybe because it was so busy. I feel like Austin, 29 00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:33.920 the last time you and I did a show was 30 00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:34.560 like a month ago. 31 00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:36.640 Hey, it really does feel like it. 32 00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:38.680 Yeah, I hope you had a great Christmas. 33 00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:42.400 Yeah you too, man, I was, I was, I was 34 00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:45.480 a little bit under well, I'll just I was gonna 35 00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:47.400 try to not make it sound bad and I don't 36 00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:50.239 think it's terrible, but uh, Christmas morning was kind of 37 00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:51.719 a bummer for me. It was great to see my 38 00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:54.640 kids open up their presence, uh, and they were surprised. 39 00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:57.920 And Sanna did really well this year. But I talked 40 00:01:57.920 --> 00:01:59.840 about it on the show if you remember, not Austin, 41 00:01:59.879 --> 00:02:02.719 but I was my wife and I decided not to 42 00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:06.239 do presents this year, and she was, you know, she was, 43 00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:10.719 she was consistent. I was worried that I would actually 44 00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:12.840 not get her a gift, which I didn't, and then 45 00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:15.080 like she would think, like, well, I just had to 46 00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:17.319 get you something because I could not have you open 47 00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:19.319 a present, and then I would feel like, you know, 48 00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:21.000 because I was on her like, hey, be real, are 49 00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:21.599 we doing this. 50 00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:22.280 Like no gifts? 51 00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:25.000 And sure enough both did no gifts and you know, 52 00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:28.319 save us some money this Christmas time. And it's usually 53 00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:30.719 just been about I mean, since we've had kids, we 54 00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:33.360 look forward to most on Christmas is everything that comes 55 00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:35.759 with having young kids that are really into it, that 56 00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:38.479 love Santa, that kind of stuff. But I kind of 57 00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:40.039 felt like there was a little bit of a void, 58 00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:42.360 kind of an empty spot there because I didn't I 59 00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:43.800 didn't buy anybody like anything. 60 00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:46.120 Yeah, and you know, it wasn't. 61 00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:48.280 About me getting gifts because I'm really hard to shop 62 00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:51.400 for anyways, because like I usually just you know, I'm 63 00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:54.039 a pretty simple man. I don't I don't need for 64 00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:56.479 much and if I do, I'll get it myself. And 65 00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:58.479 I don't spend a whole lot of money. I just 66 00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:00.360 spend money on things you know that I need to 67 00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:03.199 kind of keep me going. But I told her, no more, 68 00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:05.599 We're going to do Christmas with each other, and you know, 69 00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:07.840 if we if we want to just do like three 70 00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:10.479 gifts a piece or something whatever. But you know, I 71 00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:13.439 kept talking throughout the Christmas time that it didn't feel 72 00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:15.080 like it was really here. I think it's because I 73 00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:18.360 wasn't thinking about getting gifts for really anybody, because anybody 74 00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:19.960 else I get gifts for her she usually takes care 75 00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:21.919 of but because it's from us and the family. But 76 00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:23.800 she was kind of the person that I would usually 77 00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:27.159 shop for, and you know, I'd be procrastinating and scrambling 78 00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:29.599 a couple of days before at different stores, just trying 79 00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:31.680 to make sure I felt like I did a good job. 80 00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:33.199 I did good enough, and I didn't have to do 81 00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:34.680 any of that this year, which I guess was kind 82 00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:36.360 of nice. But I think I kind of miss that. 83 00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:39.080 I think that's just become part of, you know what, 84 00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:41.280 of what Christmas. Christmas is there. 85 00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:43.960 It can be like an empty void, especially if you're 86 00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:46.800 like not looking forward to like getting something on Christmas. 87 00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:48.840 That's kind of how it was for me. But the 88 00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:51.039 fiance did end up getting something for me, and we 89 00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:53.560 did too. We we still like to do the gift giving. 90 00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:55.319 So yeah, it's a big it's a big part and 91 00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:56.919 I always knew that, but I think this year not 92 00:03:56.960 --> 00:03:58.639 doing it made me realize, Okay, no, that when I 93 00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:00.360 think of a great Christmas that's a part of it 94 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:01.319 and I need that back. 95 00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:02.680 Did Santa do good with you? 96 00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:03.000 Oh? 97 00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:05.919 Yeah, Santa the Big Man looked out for me good stuff. 98 00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:08.840 Got some Jordan's and got some whiskey that the new 99 00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:11.960 Chris Stapleton's got a whiskey out too, so nime of that. 100 00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:13.080 That was really cool. 101 00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:17.079 And actually this is fully grown up stuff that I love. 102 00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:21.000 The parents actually got me us a vacuum cleaner, okay, 103 00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:23.480 and that is so clutch because I've actually been going 104 00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:25.439 over there and kind of like stealing theres.

But my my, my father is is 158 00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:29.879 going to be Mason, my son, his his first year 159 00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:31.839 playing basketball is actually in fact, he plays his first 160 00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:35.120 game next weekend, but he's he's in a four year 161 00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:37.800 old basketball league.

And uh, 169 00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:57.079 seeing that my my little one got in my whistle 170 00:06:57.199 --> 00:06:58.000 was was really cool. 171 00:06:58.160 --> 00:06:59.800 Saw yeah, good stuff all right. 172 00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:03.160 Now, speaking of good stuff, yesterday the NFL decided they 173 00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:06.680 were gonna get involved and really take over what people 174 00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:09.000 watch when it comes to sports on Christmas or really 175 00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:09.639 maybe anything. 176 00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:11.720 And they did it with Netflix, and. 177 00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:16.199 I, I mean, I was pretty impressed with everything that 178 00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:19.800 came with Netflix's production and it just got me thinking, 179 00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:23.680 you know, one, the NBA already was in a tough 180 00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:27.160 spot this year with viewership being down and Christmas Day 181 00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:29.399 kind of used to be where, you know, you knew 182 00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:33.319 that was on all day, and now like I didn't 183 00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:35.680 even because I knew there was good football games on, 184 00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:38.000 didn't care if it was Netflix, if it was on whatever, 185 00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:40.720 and I wanted to watch, I forgot the NBA was 186 00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:41.279 even going on. 187 00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:41.680 Yep. 188 00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:45.680 And what happened is that because the game was on Netflix. 189 00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:49.959 Both both NFL games, you didn't see like like, you 190 00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:54.480 didn't see any promotion for for the NBA. So usually, 191 00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:57.399 you know, more often than not, I shouldn't say, well, 192 00:07:57.639 --> 00:07:59.759 a lot of big time sporting events are on ESPN 193 00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:02.279 right like Monday Night Football. I mean, ESPN is is 194 00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:05.720 the worldwide leader in sports, so they're gonna promote, you know, 195 00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:07.839 what they do throughout and you see a ton of 196 00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:09.759 NBA like that's what the NBA. Some people may be 197 00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:13.199 surprised that the NBA viewership is down. It's probably never 198 00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:15.480 been what you guys think it is, because despite it 199 00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:18.560 being shoved in your face NonStop by ESPN, and it's 200 00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:20.800 a big talking point on the roundtable shows that they 201 00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:23.800 have all day every day seemingly, but that doesn't mean 202 00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:25.000 that everybody's tuning in to watch it. 203 00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:26.079 It's just not a good product. 204 00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:28.759 So the NBA used to be able to claim Christmas 205 00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:30.759 was kind of their day, and I guarantee you they 206 00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:33.320 lost a ton of viewership because the NFL decided to 207 00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:36.600 have games on Netflix yesterday and I don't see them 208 00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:39.519 going away from that, and I don't I don't see 209 00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:44.799 why Netflix can't become it's like, why they can't include 210 00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:47.919 live sports as a huge, you know, a big component 211 00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:50.440 of what they do along with everything else. And I'm 212 00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:52.080 you know, there's way more that goes into it than 213 00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:55.200 I would ever know. But it's been sort of like 214 00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:58.720 a you know, a tech not tech I guess a 215 00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:02.080 media TV rights kind of thing. It's been talked about 216 00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:05.240 for years to where why does Disney want ESPN? And 217 00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:08.759 I assume a lot of people know that that that 218 00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:11.159 that Disney owns ESPN. But again I guess maybe there's 219 00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:14.200 people that that don't realize that. But it's been an 220 00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:19.000 ongoing thing really pre pandemic. But then once once the 221 00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:21.679 pandemic happened, and you know, it was quite clear which 222 00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:26.600 side politically, ESPN personalities were told to kind of you know, 223 00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:29.679 stay on and things that they were willing to discuss 224 00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:32.120 and things that they wouldn't discuss. I mean you could tell, 225 00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:35.279 like the Disney brand was very much visible throughout times 226 00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:38.360 when it comes to you know, ESPN. So you know, 227 00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:40.759 there's been columns written by people like why does Disney 228 00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:43.759 want ESPN? They could sell it and you know be 229 00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:47.519 fine without it, and ESPN actually would you know when 230 00:09:47.559 --> 00:09:50.960 it didn't have to kind of operate underneath Disney. I 231 00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:53.000 mean ESPN could you know, maybe let their hair down 232 00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:55.320 a little bit right, maybe unbuttoned the top button on 233 00:09:55.360 --> 00:09:57.200 their dress shirt and like, you know, be a little 234 00:09:57.240 --> 00:10:00.200 bit more entertaining and fun and not so PC and 235 00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:03.320 not so dare I say woke? And I just thought, like, 236 00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:06.759 why doesn't Netflix buy ESPN from Disney? Clearly they have 237 00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:09.080 the money to do it. I mean, I guess Disney 238 00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:10.799 would be like, well, it's not for sale. And if 239 00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:14.159 that's the case, that's then you know whatever. But I 240 00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:16.080 don't even think Disney has really put a whole lot 241 00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:19.320 of priority into ESPN. I mean they've made it when 242 00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:21.679 you make huge cuts from a company like they have 243 00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:24.559 over the years, and it's been you know, jobs that 244 00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:26.960 weren't really replaced. Not to say that that's not you 245 00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:31.440 know that happens everywhere, but you know, Disney also has 246 00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:33.840 to feed Disney all the other you know, everything that 247 00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:36.639 comes with it. It's not ESPN and sports. So like 248 00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:39.720 if if if ESPN had a little bit like if 249 00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:41.440 they were they were independently owned. I don't mean, I 250 00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:44.200 don't mean like a one person guy from the street 251 00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:46.360 We're not talking Dave port or Dave portn or in 252 00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:49.000 Barstool Sports, but if they were not under the umbrella 253 00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:51.960 of a company like Walt Disney. I feel like in 254 00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:53.799 really that that was the only priority was to make 255 00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:56.320 ESPN great. I feel like it could be way better 256 00:10:56.320 --> 00:10:58.639 than it is right now. Yeah, and to see Netflix 257 00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:00.720 be able to put together what they did yesterday with 258 00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:02.879 those two NFL games. You know, you could tell, like 259 00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:05.559 anybody who was out there part of it in any way, 260 00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:07.759 like see him Punk was on the it was on 261 00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:08.759 it in some capacity. 262 00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:12.360 Uh has shirtless? 263 00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:14.440 I mean I saw people joking last week about how 264 00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:16.480 do they really need forty eight people to broadcast the 265 00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:19.600 football game? But that's what like Netflix could do because 266 00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:22.039 it's Netflix, meaning like they can bring in And what 267 00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:24.080 I don't understand is how the contract worked out with 268 00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:26.879 some of these, Like for example, Greg Olsen was your 269 00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:29.919 color analyst in the second game. Well, he works for Fox, 270 00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:31.519 so like he must have it in his contract to 271 00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:34.759 where he's like an into like because football is a 272 00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:37.559 very little component to what like CBS and Fox does. 273 00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:39.720 I'm sure these guys probably have it in their contract 274 00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:42.559 to where since they're only calling games like eighteen weeks 275 00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:44.799 a year. They probably have the ability to go work 276 00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:48.919 for some other networks, probably not ESPN, probably not Fox, 277 00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:51.000 if you work for CBS or vice versa. But they 278 00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:52.879 probably never thought I would. You'd have to worry about 279 00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:54.840 Netflix because you know, they'd never have been in this 280 00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:58.200 space before. So you could tell these were professionals, but 281 00:11:58.240 --> 00:11:59.879 you could also tell this was a one off, meaning 282 00:11:59.879 --> 00:12:02.440 that they've not worked together on set for years and 283 00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:04.200 they've not done a bunch of games together. I mean, 284 00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:07.799 I thought Ian Eagle and Nate Burlison with JJ Watt 285 00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:10.759 like those guys I think are fine, but like you 286 00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:13.639 could tell they've never worked a game together. And Nate Burleson, 287 00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:17.279 I think he's sharp, but like he's not on a 288 00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:19.879 talk show. He did what he did what I think 289 00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:21.559 a lot of time when you see somebody who's a 290 00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:25.399 studio analyst or maybe like a host of a show, radio, 291 00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:28.240 whatever it may be, and ESPN kind of throws them 292 00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:32.080 down to like do color commentary, they can't get out 293 00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:34.240 of their brain that they're not on a talk show, 294 00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:36.399 like I talked. I said that about Jay Williams a lot. 295 00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:38.799 Jay Williams, you know he did radio for a long 296 00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:40.159 time he was on Get Up. I mean, he's had 297 00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:41.960 a lot of different jobs, but when he went from 298 00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:43.639 you know, I think he's gotten a little more comfortable 299 00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:45.360 with it once again now. But when he started doing 300 00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:47.840 college basketball games for the first time in a while, 301 00:12:47.879 --> 00:12:49.440 I think it was back, you know, towards the beginning 302 00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:51.639 of the KP era, Like you couldn't it wasn't as 303 00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:54.039 if he was just over talking like it wasn't. He 304 00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:56.600 wasn't over talking to play by play guy. He wasn't 305 00:12:56.639 --> 00:12:59.200 you know, interjecting. But once he would start talking to 306 00:12:59.240 --> 00:13:01.559 give you know, calm terry, which is his job, it 307 00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:03.399 would turn into a radio segment and like that's not 308 00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:05.120 what that's for. So I noticed a little bit of 309 00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:09.440 that yesterday, but overall, like I was really impressed. You know, 310 00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:12.840 there seemed to be a real understanding, and some people 311 00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:14.799 probably thought it was laying whatever. And I didn't like 312 00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:17.919 seeing Kelsey and Mahomes out there in those big Santa coades, 313 00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:20.519 just you know, because I can't stand the chiefs. But 314 00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:23.600 like that was an added entertainment element that that you know, 315 00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:28.039 Netflix probably thinks about more so than you know than ESPN. 316 00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:30.799 So I'm not throwing it out there to say that 317 00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:33.720 this is gonna happen. I have no clue or I 318 00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:36.279 have no clue Disney would even want to sell ESPN, 319 00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:39.080 But I feel like if they did, there'd be a 320 00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:41.919 buyer in Netflix. Like imagine if everything you watch that's 321 00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:46.639 underneath the ESPN umbrella, rather it be ACC Network, SEC Network, 322 00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:50.919 anything on ESPN, anything on ABC, ESPN two, ESPN. You 323 00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:52.840 just think of you know how often times when you're 324 00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:55.159 watching sports content, rather it be a game or show, 325 00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:57.519 it's you know, even if you have good for ESPN plus, 326 00:13:57.559 --> 00:14:00.279 that's still within the ESPN world, right, Imagine if all 327 00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:03.360 of that just existed within Netflix. Everybody has Netflix. I 328 00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:05.039 feel like I could be wrong. It's one of those 329 00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:06.960 things that it's been around so long, it's so popular. 330 00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:11.480 I just assume everybody has it. But you know, maybe 331 00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:13.559 I'm way off there. Like Netflix is the one I 332 00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:16.559 think people keep a hold of because it's just been 333 00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:18.480 a constant when it comes to streaming. Maybe they don't 334 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:20.919 watch as much on there as they used to. So 335 00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:23.320 we're going to get there at some point, Like at 336 00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:27.799 some point there will be there will be a streaming 337 00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:32.080 provider that that does decide to like you know, make 338 00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:35.039 a because they're all in bed with these leagues right now, 339 00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:38.360 right like Netflix, they this is their first this is 340 00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:39.840 the first time that they did something like this with 341 00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:42.159 the NFL, but you know they had the boxing match before, 342 00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:43.080 They've done something. 343 00:14:42.840 --> 00:14:46.200 With soccer and Tom Brady roast exactly exactly. 344 00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:49.200 And then you've got with Amazon prom Thursday Night football 345 00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:49.960 every single week. 346 00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:52.639 You've got Peacock. I think they've had an exclusive. 347 00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:54.759 And Peacock, by the way, has Big Ten games now 348 00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:57.240 that you did that you watch on the Big Ten network. 349 00:14:57.320 --> 00:15:00.600 So every one of these streaming services has dipped their 350 00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:03.360 toe in. They they've done some trial and error to 351 00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:05.080 see kind of you know what, if they have the 352 00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:07.759 ability to do it more than they want to, if 353 00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:11.639 they're subscribers are into it, and does it generate more 354 00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:15.200 people wanting to subscribe and sign up. So one of 355 00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:18.159 these companies is gonna take a bigger swing and say 356 00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:20.480 we want a bigger piece of this pie. And I 357 00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:21.840 don't know if that's a move that you know, they 358 00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:25.000 acquire ESPN, but I just feel like it if there 359 00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:26.320 was one that was gonna do it, I would feel 360 00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:28.320 like Netflix would be the most inclined to do it 361 00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:29.679 because you know, I feel like there still are the 362 00:15:29.679 --> 00:15:32.759 bigger brand, and you know, they've had some competition on 363 00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:35.440 the streaming front, but last I checked, there's still they're 364 00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:38.080 still killing it as far as subscriptions and revenue and whatnot. 365 00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:41.720 And you know, I just feel like anybody watching sports 366 00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:43.799 right now probably already has Netflix. But again that's probably 367 00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:45.799 me just in my own bubble thinking that everybody you 368 00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:47.519 know is the same way as me, and that's that's 369 00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:47.960 not the case. 370 00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:50.799 But ESPN's now doing or yeah, ESPN's now doing the 371 00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:53.960 thing on Disney Plus where they they simulcasts a game 372 00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:56.200 with like like the Simpsons. You remember when they did that, 373 00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:58.799 Oh yeah, the Monday Night Football a few weeks back. 374 00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:00.480 Well, yesterday they did that with the NBA. 375 00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:03.519 But it was like Goofy and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse kind 376 00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:06.360 of which I'm not gonna lie sometimes is entertaining because 377 00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:09.279 it's cool to watch Donald duck duck on somebody I. 378 00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:10.480 Heard that was actually pretty funny. 379 00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:14.159 Yesteryeary that might have actually been better than the actual games, But. 380 00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:16.000 It's not one of those things you think of like, oh, 381 00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:17.840 that'll be entertaining, and then you tune in and you're like, Okay, 382 00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:18.360 this isn't bad. 383 00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:19.519 Yeah, yeah, it's not too bad. 384 00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:21.720 You just gotta have you it's not on the ESP 385 00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:23.799 and you have to go to the Disney Plus app 386 00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:24.320 to view that. 387 00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:27.279 And that's again, these are all things to like get people, 388 00:16:28.200 --> 00:16:29.919 just to get them there. Like if you don't have 389 00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:33.679 Disney Plus, you know, maybe that maybe that encouraged you 390 00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:35.200 to get it so you could watch it and then 391 00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:38.600 you're there right like and also that could potentially bring 392 00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:40.919 in people who you you know, again, I'm just thinking 393 00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:42.799 who the hell it and watching the NFL on Sundays. 394 00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:44.639 But it might be people who aren't into it, but 395 00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:46.799 if their kids heard about, Hey, there's gonna be something 396 00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:49.480 that's like cartoon related. You know, you're always you know, 397 00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:51.440 you're gonna get your base in the NFL has a 398 00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:54.759 monstrous base. That sounded dirty, but you know what I mean, 399 00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:57.480 did it sound like they have monstrous Like if if 400 00:16:57.480 --> 00:16:59.399 somebody said monstrous base and they're talking about me, I'm 401 00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:00.399
