• 0:49
  Speaker 5: is Instagram, Facebook, laps, Twitter X and uh anything else.
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: I don't have a threads. I probably should get a
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: threads earlier.
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: Anyway, and you re joined us. I am drinking a.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: Or non sponsored today.
• 1:04
  Speaker 5: Keyword not look ry black bedy cucumba.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: Is actually good. Not realize that's pretty and delicious.
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: Hey, you know, as you get older, as you get older.
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: Back in my day, I used to not be a
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: big fan of blackberries, and now I think half of
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: my fridge is BlackBerry like sparkling Seltzer waters. Pretty good,
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: pretty good, pretty good? Anyway, cut to it. What do
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: we talk about today doing a solo episode? Are we
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: gonna go for? I don't know. So let's just do
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: some catching up. Let's see house projects coming along, moving along,
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: getting there, slow and steady, adulting. It's fun. It's not fun,
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: it can't be, but it's not. Yeah, what else? Uh?
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: So I always said, let'tensign you why I did a
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: slip review. I said I would do a st for Superman. Spoiler,
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: I have not seen it yet. The fun thing about
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: big blockbusters is plural, So I will admit I'm a
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: bit of a picky movie goer. That's not even the
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: right way to say it. Movie movie screen watcher. Essentially,
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: if it's not the biggest screen, I don't want to
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: watch it, probably because it is not cheap to go
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: see a movie today. I'm trying to give an example,
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: like an AMC theater or a Marcus like you go
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: see like an Amax's giant Imax thing with the sounds
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: and all the crazy shit, or Marcus that got their
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: ultra screens and all that stuff, and yeah, it's the
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: top tier screen, so it's gonna cost a little more.
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: But then when you see these other regular screens, it's
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: what two three bucks cheaper, and the times aren't great.
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: I'm like neah no, So that's why i'n't see Superman.
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: So once it does come out eventually streaming, I will
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: go see it. Oh no, don't go see streaming. Go
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: sport the theater. Go do this, go to well, you know,
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: don't make me come to a movie that you say
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: starts at seven o'clock and actually starts at seven thirty
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: five because you have to play thirty five minutes of ads.
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: I have to watch an ad before the movie after
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: said twenty five thirty minutes of an ad saying hey,
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: come to our theaters to watch our movies, which is
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: funny because I'm already in the theater. Fuck stop it. No,
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: my father hasn't been a movie theater in twenty two years. God,
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: he'd be pissed if he'd be like, what the because
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: he'd be like, wait, Trarlie, the movie's at seven o'clock.
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: Why are we there? Oh the worry, dad, movies are
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: till fucking seven to thirty five at least now on
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: their websites are putting be aw please be advised this
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: movie will actually now start between this time and this time. Oh,
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: thank you, thank you so much for telling us maybe
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: when the movie will actually start. It's like ticket website
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: processing fees and bullshit, which thankfully now they actually have
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: to show you what the actual price is before you
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: actually even click on add to kart. Huh. So yeah,
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: slip re people will be coming sometime soon. Well we
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: can talk about so we're gonna talk about a little
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: funko thing because ha, We're also gonna talk about the
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: end of pay per views as we know it or
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: is it. So everyone listening knows that I am a
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: gigantic football fan. I have said before, I just I
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: enjoy watching college football, I enjoy watching professional football. I
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: enjoy it all. But as a lot of you have
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: come to known over the last couple of years, with
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: the change in entertainment, the change and just businesses and
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: all that stuff, everyone is cutting the cord in favor
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: of the streaming. But now said streaming is becoming even
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: more expensive than cable.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: The reason I'm bringing was because this might be a
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: huge problem with So as of right now, it is
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: August twenty eighth, twenty twenty five, six forty five in
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: the evening, and a week from today, actually less than
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: a week from actually a week from now, so we
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: a week in literally a week and thirty minutes. Les's
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: of the game time on Thursday. Football for Central Santa
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: taime has changed the Dallas Cowboys who recently traded today
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: Michael Parsons to do with the remake Packers?
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: What the fuck you couldn't end to.
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: The Bears and for not much mine, I add bullshit. Anyway,
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: I'm not gonna go down there. It's about seven days
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: from now the game will be live, I believe on
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: Amazon Prime.
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: Actually, let me make.
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: Sure I still have Prime Video. I know it's a
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: service that if you have Amazon Prime, you get Prime Video.
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: But then again, with how often these websites and streaming
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: services change their processes and charges and fees.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: Who the fuck knows. Let me take a look. It's loading.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: Here we go any second.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: Now, this is a wonderful radio audio, all that jazz
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: point B. While I'm waiting for this load. Of course,
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: right when I start my spiel, it starts to actually
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: opens up, so yeah, a week from tonight the game
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: we broadcasted live.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: On Prime I believe Prime Video.
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: So where am I.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: Going with this?
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: Well, glad you asked. So there are now a thousand
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: different ways. And I'm sure if you're a football fan
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: you've read the stuff on internet articles.
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: Oh, there's so many different ways. You can't have to
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: buy all these services to watch the games. This is bullshit.
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: This sucks, which it does.
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: The problem and I agree that I have is they
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: have the resources again, and I say, and that's why
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: I made about the end of pay reviews, because we're
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: gonna go into like what the WWE and UFC recently did,
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: who are under the same arel called tiko. We live
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: in the world where people like to make money. Shocker,
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: I know, call me crazy. Didn't think there'd actually be
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: a thing. The problem is, and this is where it
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: goes back to it for all these people that are
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: complaining about all these different ways that you have to
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: pay essentially the NFL to watch these games, whether it
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: be and I have a list you get it up here.
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: Of course, soon as I oh, okay, I thought I
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: lost it for a second. There's all these ways you
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: have to watch these games. Okay, let's go down the pipeline.
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: By the way, take this with a grain of salt.
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: This doesn't include certain other streamings, just including like the
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: basic big ones, like the ESPN, especially their new at
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: they just launch but coordinate. There's an ESPN Fox Bundle,
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: which actually that's I think it's coming out here like
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: any second now, forty dollars a month, paramount plus which
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: is CBS thirteen dollars a month, Peacock the Cock eleven
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: dollars a month, which actually I believe they just raised
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: their prices like in the last week or so, and
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: I allegedly wink, wank, nudge, nudge. This one podcast I
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: listened to said the day they raised their prices, they
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: didn't even like tell people they raise their prices. And
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: then that right before they raised it, they made the knots.
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: But that day, so that's fun. Allegedly, Amazon Prime obviously
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: gotta a prime to pay for that, or you paid
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: just fifteen dollars a month just to watch it. NFL
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: Sunday tickets range from anywhere from three hundred dollars almost
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: five hundred dollars, and of course you got Netflix, and
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: that's not including things other packages eventually like Hulu or
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: other random TV package obviously depends in your area and
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: what streaming services you use or another perfect example too.
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: Let me see that actually this does Uh so we
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: are less Yeah, we are literally one week away, one
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: week away from the NFL kickoff. Oh and they didn't
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: beat you to give me before yesterday. YouTube and Fox
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: didn't have a deal to such a show Fox stuff
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: on YouTube TV.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: Again, I don't know how that affects the NFL Sunday
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: package and shit and all that, but like that it's.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: Included with that. But it's literally a week before the season.
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: Of I mean, all due respect to anyone who enjoys basketball,
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: all due respect to anyone who enjoys The Bachelor, all
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: to respect anyone who enjoys the Kardashians and all those
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: like reality shows. There is no bigger media conglomerate entertainment
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: monster when it comes to making money week to week
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: for a certain period of time than the NFL, not
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: the WWE, not the UFC, not even not even Tata herself.
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: Nothing beats it. A year over year they make more
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: and more money. This kind of went back to the
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: whole point, Like what I was saying, earlier. It's like,
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: like we bitch and moan about this. The problem is
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: people continuously take out their credit card.
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: I'm guilty this as well.
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: Continue to take out their credit card, put those numbers
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: in on the YouTube stuff. Then Sunday Ticket, which according
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: to my dad and he's used it, he loves it,
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: but you won't use it. Last year for the first
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: time you had Sunday Ticket, you got Peacock, you got Prime,
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: you got Netflix, and the issue I have with it,
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: and again, I don't know how this works a Sunday ticket,
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: which I probably should have looked into.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: You don't get all these games.
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: Now I don't know how it works on Hulu anymore
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: because too Yeah, two seasons ago, I had Hulu Live TV.
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: That was expensive. It was like I think it was
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: like and that was all again. If everyone who knows Hulu,
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: it's a monster. It's got all these shows, different channels,
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: a whole nine yards. But it was live TV. Now,
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: as I said, I'm a giant fan of football, but
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: I don't need to have access to every single game.
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: That's just my opinion. I'm old school. I'm okay, what
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: what what? What games? Do I get this Sunday other
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: than the Bear game. I mean pretty much, if you're
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: a mid if you're in the Midwest, you know it.
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: Bears pretty much always play at noon, and then the
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: Cowboys play at three thirty, and then you have the
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: Sunday Nighter game at seven o'clock. That's just the way
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: it's been my entire life. It would it would be
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: what it would usually be. Trying to think you'd have
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: a Bear game at noon plus an AFC game at
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: the exact same time on CBS, which would suck. You
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: would rarely have a double header on CBS. It would
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: always be Dallas. It would always be the Cowboys at
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: three thirty on Fox, which sucks.
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: Because I can't see the fucking Cowboys.
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: But at the same time too, it's just like, hey,
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: they're They're always America's team, kiss my ass. But like
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: they also, while not in the playoffs, are still well competitive,
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: and then you have the Sunday nighter game and the
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: majority er I'm just going through, just just throwing out there,
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: low ball. I really want to call it. I can't
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: give you a number, but yeah, were there's some weekends
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: Whe'm like, oh, this game sucks. Why do we get
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: this game right? Oh, but again, I kind of like
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: not having it's gonna sound where I kind of like
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: not having that freedom now again, obviously, if you're have
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: Sunday ticket and it's like, hey, your three thirty game is,
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: let's see who the first the Tennessee.
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: The Tennis hi Welcome live from Nashville, Tennessee. It is
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: the Tennessee Titans versus the Cleveland Browns. Who the fuck
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: put this game on? Is a national game of the week, That'd.
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: Be a great fucking question. But obviously, eventage with Sunday
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: ticket is you can watch sounds like a Sunday ticket
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: promo here. Sorry Shags allow, but you can watch any
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: game you want, just go to a different game. I
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: always kind of like not having that choice. It's like, okay,
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: like this is the game. I get cool, I'll watch it,
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: or I can go cut the grass or start making dinner,
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: you know what I mean. Obviously, college football it's different
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: because there's so many games. It's such a giant pool
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: of games to watch. There's so many different channels to watch.
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry the fact that like Tomorrow Saturday it's kick off,
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: it's Ohio State in Texas. Sorry, my cats are making
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: wear noises. The fact it's Ohio State in Texas this Saturday,
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: big big matchup, the top two teams in the nation
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: going at it at eleven am. What the fuck is that? Anyway?
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: Going back to pro football, Like the problem is like
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: we can sit here, we can bitch about how there's
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: twenty different ways that you have to pay now to
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: watch all these games, Like, oh, I should have never
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: just cut the cord. The bottom line is, we're still
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: gonna take out our credit card, just like when I
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: could when I was on here a couple of weeks
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: ago talking about wrestling tickets. We're still gonna take out
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: our credit cards. We're gonna put in our number.
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: The what is it serious? There's four sets.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: Of numbers, and there's four you're gonna put in your
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: security code. You're gonna put in your Billy manddress. Don't
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: forget to put in the expiration data otherwise I'll get you.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: Don't forget to about your name right too, because most
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: websites actually have that shit.
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: And we're gonna pay for it. Am I gonna do
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: it this year? No? I plan to go visit my
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: wife a couple of times. And also just my logic
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: is I enjoy I love my house. We're doing a
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: lot of work on our house though, and I know
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: it's someday it's going to I want this to be
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: the hangout where we watch football games and all that stuff.
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: But we live in an age now, thankfully, where if
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: you want to go see a football game, most bars
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: or restaurants, you can just go to any sports bar,
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: or how even chain bar, like a certain giant animal
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: that has chicken wings, or a certain place Happy Drew,
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: or a certain place where you can play games with
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: coins and shit while also watching football while having a
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: cold one. I'm learning there's all these different ways you
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: can watch games. Now. Obviously I don't condet you.
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: I would say, hey, if you've had anything we've had tonight,
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: please beet home safe.
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: That's not a here, a noo there. But the point
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: I'm trying to get now ten minutes later is because
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: I had, uh what was it? There's a show? And
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: I actually like NBC. I like their coverage of football. They're,
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: for one, not afraid to use foul language. They're not
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: afraid that they except no further words, which I can appreciate.
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: But they don't sugarcoat shit and NBC is one of
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: the top you know, spotlights in the NFL every Sunday,
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: you know, Sunday Night football Ry Underwood, like it's the
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: song waiting all day for Sunday night. It's a there's
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: a reason, there's a theme song that they have.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: Fox has the you know, of course, the famous NFL
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: song like everyone knows every you play the first two
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: seconds of that beat.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: Everyone knows what it is.
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: Same with CBS Hell, same with CBS with college football.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: They all have those little beats.
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: But NBC Football literally has its own theme song that like,
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: you don't have to be a football fan, you know
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: that song because everyone's waiting all day for Sunday night.
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: And I like how they bring up sometimes that it's
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: only gone worse that we have the technology today where
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: and the reason they don't do it is because they
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: probably they don't think they make as much money. We're
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: why can't we just pay a fee to just watch
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: our team? Why can't I Why can't I send I'm
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: in the uh the Chicago area. I mean, obviously Fox
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: pretty much has the NFC package essentially. Why can't I
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: give Fox one hundred and twenty bucks or one hundred bucks.
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: You said one hundred and twenty chucks, so you can
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: give us that. Okay, fine, we'll give you one hundred
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: and twenty bucks for seventeen games. Why can't I pay
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: just to have all the Chicago Bear games? Why do
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: I have to keep doing this whole? Okay, I gotta
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: make sure I have the right streaming network I thankfully
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: have now. Obviously, if you have cable, you still have
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: the cord. The odds that you won't be able to
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: watch your game are pretty slim, except for certain games
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: where maybe they're only on Prime or the ESPN thing.
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: There's times where I've been here in the Chicago area
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: and it's, oh, it told's to be on channel seven ABC.
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: It's not, And there's other people in Chicago they're gonna
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: test to that. Oh no, it's on channel two O six.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: I don't have two o six.
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: Well sorry, I guess you can just listen to six
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: seventy or what are the fuck channel it's on now
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: on the radio and AM, which doesn't work at the
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: time in Chicago. It just doesn't make any sense, like,
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: why can't again, you can offer the Sunday ticket where
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: it's like, hey, here's this giant pool.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: Of all these games you can watch.
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: And again they'll be like, well we wouldn't make as
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: much money. Okay, fine, then you.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: You figure it. It's the NFL.
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: They're gonna figure it out. They're gonna figure out a
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: way to make more money. They always have, they always will.
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: They are the I mean, I don't know this for
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: a fact. Other may like video games, Like what other
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: entertainment juggernaut in the United States makes more money.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: You know, you could see the movies, but like the
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: the amount of money they put into movies with budgets
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: and shit doesn't always give you that return. Case in point,
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: the Superman movie, while it made a good amount of money,
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: allegedly it made a profit, but not by much. Hell,
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: this Avengers movie they're making, they're making both Avengers movies
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: back to back, and supposed me by not even it's
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: they say it's something close, it's the biggest budget of
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: all time. Well, when you see who's in the movie,
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: it's like no doubt. It's literally every every other person
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: is a top actor. Like, yeah, you got Robert Downey,
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: that's great. You also got Ian McKellen, you got Patrick Stewart,
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: you got, like it's just the fucking and there's as
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: it's been out there for months, but like like legitimately
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: press release months but just makes no sense. Why our
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: hell perfect example, beautiful wife, My beautiful wife living in
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: Europe working her ass off right now with our beautiful dog,
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: awesome dog, Tully. Miss them both very much, But why
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: is it like, oh, hey, I'm out here, why can't
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: you know, use a VPN, Like why can't I just
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: use a VPN and pay to have the Chicago Bears
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: or like kind of like a team that like we
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: kind of like like my I mean, I've always I'm
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: everyone that knows I'm a huge Chicago Bears fan. Another
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: team Like if I always wants to ask like if
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: I ever had a team, I would back up, who
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: would it be? And I'd say the Raiders. That's just
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: who would be. Now, some things have happened in our
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: life kind of made me go, I don't know, but
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: that's just it won't change because that to where we
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: took at the stadium was phenomenal. But like it's like, oh, hey,
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: we're in Europe for three months working on stuff, Like
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: why can't I just pay to have? Because think about it,
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: because that's the thing. People would do that too. It
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: wouldn't just be oh, hey, I'm a Chicago when living
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: in South Beach. Or perfect example, here we go, my
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: friend Eric, who's been the show a couple of times. Hi, buddy,
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: hope you're well why is it that he's a guy
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: who's in Chicago is the fan of Sorry?
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: Eric?
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: Well, is he a fan of the Niners or the
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: or the Dolphins? It makes sense? Oh, I'm thinking he
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: might be a fan of the Niners anyway, either one.
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: He's a guy in Chicago who is not a fan
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: of that certain team. Why can't he pay a fee
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: pay per view essentially to watch all seventeen of the
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: San Francisco i'mretty sure it's nights watch all seventeen of
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: the San Francisco forty nine er games. Why does he
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: have to do this? You know what? Essentially, why does
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: he have to do this kind of like Russian roulette
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: of like, you know, if you have a basic cab
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: or just a basic like streaming thing with television, of
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: not knowing what games Now obviously nowadays you can check,
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: but most people don't check. A lot of people, I
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: guarantee you they just turn on their TV and they go,
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: all right, other than the Bears, who else is on
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: the day before my parents cut the court. They knew
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: both of them all my majority my family on Eliza, Wisconsin.
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: They got the Packers, and they would probably the Cowboys,
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: and then they would get they would know who the
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: other AFC game was, and then they get the Sunday nighter.
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: So why can't Eric in Chicago simply turn on his
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: little forty nine er?
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: It is niners, I love anybody.
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: I thought about it for a second. I got you,
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: why can't Eric turn on his forty nine San Francisco
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: forty nine er app in Chicago and as much? And
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: I'm sure And again, I know NFL has apps and
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: shit where you can watch the game anywhere, but it's like,
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: just let me pay a fee to watch a perfect
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: example someone who's not doing this the greatest way, Chicago Cups.
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: I don't know how streaming works at the MLB and
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: all that shit, but a lot of people in Illinois
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: are not too happy, and it's kind of become, unfortunately
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: the normal. It's like a lot of people don't even
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: know that the Cubs were on WGM, which makes me
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: sound old saying that, but like you went to those
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: mort Key network, which when the Cubs are not playing,
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: the stuff they broadcast is hilarious.
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: It's like, what the fuck, who the fuck is watching this?
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: Anyway, go Cubs go, but they're doing it right now.
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: But anyway, I mean every time, it's just like every time,
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: like I watched the Cubs, say Lewis, but then like
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: I'll just be going through like social media and it's like, oh,
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: hey the Cubs won, even though I didn't, you know,
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: do shit. I was like, oh, hey, the Cups are seven.
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: I mean I know they were, like I think what
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: they're second and third right now in the central Pretty
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: sure that, yeah, I mean everyone knows the Brewers are first.
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure the Cubs right behind him, not right
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: behind them, but maybe finally close. Anyway, moving along, but
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: we got console and we sign up for console from
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: them that we're still doing this and anyway, so actually
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: yeah we are second. Good good calling me? Okay, why
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: is it Eric or myself? Can't pay the NFL one
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: hundred and twenty bucks not the foot what was it
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: Sunday ticket? What I say was three of five hundred dollars?
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: Why can't I pay them one hundred and twenty bucks
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: for the Chicago Bears season? Why can't Eric pay them
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: one hundred and twenty bucks for the San Francisco forty
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: nine er season? Why can't my wife who's in Europe
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: pay them that to watch the Chicago Bears in Europe
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: and said she has to rely on whatever shooting stars
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: they have available there for the NFL and also just
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: see what she might get on TV if she's lucky,
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: even with that seven hour time difference. But no, it's
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: you gotta pay us all this money for all these
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: shooting service And again I get it, it's all about making money,
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: but it's like if you offer just that too, you
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: would make money. And now was Yeah, some stoomers are
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: like Peacock or I'm just going off like what I've
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: read about like lower streaming services, Like I mean, I
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: don't know what paramounts do right now, but like they're
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: just spending money like crazy because they're trying to get
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: more people to watch their products. Like South Park apparently
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: has been doing phenomenal because they're doing this. They just
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: gave them a billion dollars and plus they also just
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: got bought by by skynts anyway. So whatever, the two
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: lowest streaming services are, hell of anything, you give it
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: to them. Hi for all your exclusive Chicago Bears or
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: green Baby or Washington Commanders all you know, watch all
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: watch your team exclusively on peacock. There you go, and
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: you know what, I'm gonna be an asshole to be
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: even more greedy. You do what the UFC did with ESPN.
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: You pay your monthly fee for ESPN, and then if
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: you want to watch a pay per view you have
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: to pay a full pay per view rate on top
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: of what you're already paying with ESPN. Yes, that's how
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: the UFC ESPN did it. It wasn't just like, oh,
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: hey let me go through my channel. Oh I can
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: want UFC for eighty five bucks. Oh McGregor's finding, I'll
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: pay for that. No, it's oh, you're paying twenty five
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: whatever ESPN plus was. I was like, oh, you want
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: U s UFC, Okay, great, you gotta pay us eighty
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: five dollars. Wait, I don't get a discount. You want
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: have ESPN? Nope, it doesn't make any sense. Why we
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: can't again, why can't we have nice saints? You're telling
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: me that not one of these streaming services would offer
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: an arm and a leg and then another leg to
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: go to the NFL to go, hey, let's do this,
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: take away our games, take them away whatever. Like let's
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: say let's say per Amazon, they get what one game
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: a week, take Amazon away and you go, hey, no
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: more Thursday Night Football. Get sell it to whoever whoever
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: you want. Instead, we want to be the sole provider
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: where people with help with Amazon Prime because it's going
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: to boost their prime numbers. People with Amazon Prime, they
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: may be paying the extra ten bucks a month or
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: some shit like that for their team. Oh wait, great,
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: So I can go on Amazon Prime and I can
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: watch all the Chicago Bear, San Francisco forty nine ers
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: in Las Vegas Raider games, and then the other the
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: other twenty or was it thirty two? The other let
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: me do math here at twenty nine teams, I don't
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: have a headche pa peralt It's okay. Other twenty nine
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: teams are locked. Great, and then if I actually click
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: on them, you're based on your account access. You do
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: not have permission to access this content. No, no, no, no,
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: no bullshit, It wouldn't be that difficult. Then you keep
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: the other ones and what's gonna happen. Everyone's gonna go
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: to the Amazon Prime and do it. But then certain
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: people who are like, well, shit, huh, I don't have
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: I could watch all the Chicago Bear games. That's one
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: game a week, okay, but I can't watch because we
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: are football. Even people who aren't football crazy watch football
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: because it's the fall. It's what we do. It's really nice.
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: We wake up early, some of us go to church,
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: some of us make breakfast and make some really good
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: apple cider. And then the people come back from church
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: and the people who already have had a bunch of
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: applesider give people that apple sider because they're trying to
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: get them to catch up. And shit, you know they've
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: had some church wine.
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: And then we watch football at kickoff.
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: That's it. And these people were paying exclusively. I mean,
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: why the fuck am I not telling Jeff Bezos right now?
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: But because you know I have his phone number right here,
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: But like you simply give them this opportunity to go, hey, great, huh,
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: all right, I have I have all this access to
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: Chicago Bears the entire season. Cool, perfect, forty five bucks
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: for the season. Great, Okay, now, huh shit, I really
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: want to watch the Sunday night football games. Okay, great,
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: I'll get Peacock. Hmmm. Cool. I also need Monday night
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: football because primetime games usually get the better games, because well,
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: that's what the primetime games are for. Uh okay, great.
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: Now I'm paying for ESPN's new DTC what's called directors
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: because the direct to customer consumer app. Cool, right there,
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: you're making these places are what making. Let's say, let's
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: say you do the ESPN Fox there's forty. You do
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: the Peacock. That's we'll say twenty with. If you do
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: the top tier one with no ads and shit, that's
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: sixty right there, plus tax probably out seventy. And then
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: you do your Amazon Prime one for ten twenty bucks
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: a month. There you go.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: You're paying one.
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: Hundred bucks a month for football ballpark. People would still
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: pay for it. And you know there's god be those
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: insane people out there who would pay for multiple.
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: Teams at once.
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: You can't tell me a household where it's like a
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: which I don't get. Why, no offense to the people.
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: I know they're like that a bear fan of Packer
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: fan marry each other. Not that true love evercomes all.
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: But you have a Bear fan of Packer for that,
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: marry each other, or or help Eric and Mahill's case,
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: you got a Bear fan and Niner fan that marry
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: each other. There you go. They both go for the
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: packages the Bear, No, they both go for Bears and Niners.
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: There you go. And then they go for the other
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: streaming services as well. And you throw the and I
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: hate to say it, you throw the fuck a bunch
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: of ads on there. There you go. I just made
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: you a billion dollars.
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: Lake County.
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: I'm not gonna say there rest for the for that check,
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: please thank you. It's not that difficult. I just it's
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: getting frustrating because people you hear, especially today's age, oh
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: people they're eventually what's socially the rest saying, oh, they're
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: eventually gonna price themselves out. Yeah, the keyboard is eventually,
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: but it's not now. People will literally cut corners to
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: find a way they get their football. Like I'm a
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: I heard wrestling fan, but it's like, hey, I can
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: go to this really cool wrestling show, or I can
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: get the football package. I'm probably gonna do the football package.
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: That's eight to twelve hours of content of entertainment for
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: one day compared to two to three hours of I
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: don't maybe maybe something cool, I don't know. I mean
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: the show I'm going to here next Friday, I'm going
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: to see John Sea for the last time in Chicago
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: because it's like, it's like, as my wife and I said, well,
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: we asked, like, don't we gotta see that it's the
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: last time.
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: Allegedly I think it is the last time.
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: But like people are willing to pay for this stuff
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: of and the thing. The other problem I have with
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: this is when certain streaming sers like oh no, like
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: all of a sudden, like, oh no, we're not having
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: as many streamers, We're losing all this money because people
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: are buying are our app anymore? And shit like that.
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: Then people who don't have anything to do with it
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: get fired, and that ship busses me off. That's a
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: different conversation, different podcasts. But again, there is zero reason
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: that the NFU and by the way, not just the NFL,
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: the NFL, the NBA, and again, like I said, I'm
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: sure there's ways on like the NFL APP and all
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: this stuff, you can just you know, you pay for
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: the service or whatever it is, and you can just
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: watch your team but just put in one of these
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: major apps where I can go on my television or
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: I can literally grab the microphone and go, hey, such
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: and such, turn on Amazon Prime, Bear Game, Boom as I.
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: Hit my mic Not that difficult.
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: And of course when I'd say that, it will go
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: sorry trying to connect. Did do you mean purchase more
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: Bear claus? Like no, I meant turned on the Bear game.
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: But whatever, it's right there, and again and again the
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: smart thing the NFL is probably gonna do. That's probably
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: gonna be their next big thing.
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: They you know they did.
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: They got away from the Sunday ticket on the cable.
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: Now it's on YouTube. They have all these other streaming
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: services and stuff like that. And again I don't have
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: Sunday Ticket. I don't know if you can watch Prime
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: stuff on YouTube. I don't know if you can watch
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: money football, and I don't know. I'm gonna assume so.
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: But based on this foxing, who knows? Because like what
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: the NFL? What Fox and YouTube to make this deal?
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: Then I'm paying this full price for YouTube TV and
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: I don't get the NFL Sunday package. That's bullshit. And
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: I mean, just like there's too much. There's too much
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: red tape. But it's like literally just put all the
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: teams in one spot and be like, you you want
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: the Dallas Cowboys. Pay this?
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: You you live.
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: In fucking Montana, You live in fucking you live in
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: fucking Yellowstone. But for some reason you're a New York
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: Jets fan. First off, sorry, but you want this. Here
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: you go, here's your feet. Pay this. You can watch
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: the Jets games from your giant cottage in Montana. Cool,
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: and you're gonna make money. It's it's literally another reason
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: to make money, which which I'm saying this is probably
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: gonna be their next big thing once these like streaming
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: deals go eventually expire, which I think is like now
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: for like.
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: Another fucking seven eight years.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: Oh so.
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: Fuck anyway, moving along, it's my spiel on how I
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: get annoyed with streaming more streaming stuff. So kind of
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: went back to the whole like, how is paper view
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: that kind of thing? It isn't it is because like
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: I said, I think the only thing people are willing
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: to pay for on a monthly base essentially is the NFL.
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: I was the NBA still like they still make money.
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: As much as I love hockey, doesn't make as much
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: money as the NFL or NBA, but UFC signed a
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: seven point let.
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: Me uh let me make sure I uh get this right.
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: Excuse me, let me clear my throat here. Oh yeah,
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: seven point seven billion dollars for paramount to go on
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: paramount for seven years. The UFC is going to Paramount plus.
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: Oh and you're ready for the kicker. So going back
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: to what I said, how you had to pay your
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: ESPN fee, your monthly subscription ESPN plus or I pretty
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: sure was ESPN plus pay ESPN plus. You pay your
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: seven dollars, eight dollars, ten dollars, twelve dollars, twenty dollars,
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: whatever the fuck dollars. You pay all that, and then
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: it's time for the USC pay review and it's eighty.
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: Five dollars of pay per view.
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: What I'm going to discount? Nope, fuck you now they'll
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: be on paramount. Pay your paramount fee and then you pay.
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: Oh wait, that's right, you don't have to pay anything more. So,
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: the UFC has moved completely away from the pay per
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: view model, which is a shocking which again, if anything,
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: and again that shows where the status of pay per
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: view and sports is going. The USC and here's my
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: personal thinon they had to do this. It was like
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: UFC has been kind of like in this weird spot
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: where it's like, well, they really don't have money stars
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: right now. Anytime that start does start to develop, the
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: either get hurt or something happens, whether then they lose
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: their steam, etcetera, etcetera.
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: Like I mean, other than like.
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: What Tom aspinall, I really can't think of it's a
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: heavyweight champ. I can't think of really any other big
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: fighter right now. Again, I'm just a and here's the thing.
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: I'm a casual UFC guy. I'm not a diehard. But
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: like my wife is a casual football fan. She knows
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: who Patrick Mahomes is. She knows Travis Kelcey, she knows
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: uh Jason Kelsey, she knows j Herbert, she knows that,
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: you know, you know the big names. Her and I
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: don't watch the NBA, but we know Love Wrong James,
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: we know Steph Curry, we know those people. That's who
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: the UFC is trying to.
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: Get.
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: Because you get the casual, you get them to turn
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: into the hardcore, and then they bring in more people
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: to watch your product, which is why whenever fights like
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: Connor McGregor, Ronda Rousey, John Jones, Kabib, the d As Brothers,
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: help Cyborg.
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: When you have these people.
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: What the fuck sorry my cast being where when you
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: have these people that have a name, a household name
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: as they call it, more and more people are going
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: to watch. But the UFC has had this thing where
• 36:17
  Speaker 5: it's like, ah, did do well? I don't know now
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: in this it's and it's all. The other problem they're having,
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: the same with countere, is that you're paying all this
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: money for the pay per view, but yet they're not
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: seeing as much of a return on it because people
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: go to stream websites, illegal ones to watch the fights
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: because again, people don't want to pay, and that's the
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: only thing with UFC. And also, I mean that's the
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: thing with all sports. On the wrestling, people don't want
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: to pay for something that might be shit. And that's
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: the gamble you get whenever you watch a sporting event,
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: there is the event it may be shit, whether it
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: be due to injury or especially in the UFC, a
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: guy gets popped for something or other circumstances beyond the
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: UFC's control. And unfortunately it happens a lot more than
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: people realize, but that's just the way of pre pro
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: sports works. But with this, it's gonna simply be come
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: out of Paramount Plus and watch our fights. I'm actually
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: thinking about getting it because I'm like, shit, that's a
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: good fucking deal. I get this whole network of Paramount
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: plus plus football games and the UFC, and I'm gonna
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: pay it. I mean, other than paying your subscription, I'm
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: gonna pay anything more. No more eighty five dollars for
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: pay per views, no more, no more. You know, whenever
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: you have like a fight night with your friends, you're
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: all you know, you're all venmoing the one host. You know,
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: here's five bucks, here's twenty bucks. Hey I brought the tacos.
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: Here's ten bucks. Thought like, no more of that shit. Now,
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: just bring the food and let's have a good time.
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: It's a smart move to make, which is what they're.
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: CEO of TKO. That's the company that essentially owns.
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: Both Said and the W which is crazy for me
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: to say. They signed with ESPN. They're still with Netflix
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: for law. They're still with which fuck oh my god,
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: like name and network are not. They're still with Netflix
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: for raw. They're with NBC comcasts for SmackDown, they're with
• 38:05
  Speaker 5: fucking who CW for developmental and now they're now all
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: their pls hate payer reviews are now gonna be at ESPN,
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: which that's for me crazy to say. And this deal
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: is so insane. It was to start till fucking next March,
• 38:21
  Speaker 5: toward the mosque goes, oh, fuck you, let's pay forbody.
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: Now they're starting it next month. They said, fuck you peakuck,
• 38:31
  Speaker 5: fuck that bird, and now they're gonna start on ESPN
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: next month with a pay per view. I don't watch
• 38:39
  Speaker 5: all the wrestling pay per reviews. I will five time.
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: I'll watch wrestle Mania, watch your ar rumble, I'll, you know,
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: watch your something somewhere signed this year I thought was fantastic.
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: I mean, there's some way, but the endings were great.
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: I'll watch those.
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: They're fun, but there's so much sometimes just like, oh,
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: but the the nicing about it is you don't have
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: to pay for pay review. You don't have to pay
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: for it.
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: Now he's gotta pay.
• 39:05
  Speaker 5: It's just included with your fee. Now it kind of sucks.
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: It's like and again it sucks because on Peacock it
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: was what seven to fifteen dollars a month. Now with
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: ESPN it's thirty, which sucks because now it's like, oh great,
• 39:19
  Speaker 5: I have to get another thing because this subs can
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: stay on Peacock, but this subs can be on ESPN.
• 39:25
  Speaker 5: It's unfortunately the way it is. And again that's what
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: you have to do. And that's the thing like a
• 39:28
  Speaker 5: lot of people, I think, and this is what they do.
• 39:30
  Speaker 5: It's called churn where it's like, people, this is the
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: one thing that streaming services, Hey, it's that churn where
• 39:36
  Speaker 5: it's like, hey, Mandalorian coming out season three on Disney Plus,
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: great our sis. Chritch numbers went up the first month
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: of the Mandalorian show and then once the show ended,
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: we lost two on thousands describers. Because people only want
• 39:49
  Speaker 5: to go on to watch what they want to watch,
• 39:51
  Speaker 5: and they want to pay. They want to pay for it.
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: I only have Disney Plus and Hulu, not the live
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: one the want I pay for.
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: I don't pass for sure, allegedly.
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: But you have these streaming services that have all this content,
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: which is the smart You gotta have all this content
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: and offer all the stuff because it's like we don't,
• 40:20
  Speaker 5: we don't want you just to come on here. Just
• 40:22
  Speaker 5: to watch your one thing then get out. We want
• 40:23
  Speaker 5: you to come on here, continue to we want you,
• 40:25
  Speaker 5: we want you, or we want for us to be
• 40:30
  Speaker 5: your essentially sole provider of entertainment. You can whoever's listening
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: to this podcast, doesn't matter, if your parents a boomer,
• 40:39
  Speaker 5: gen Z, whatever, all that shit, it doesn't matter what
• 40:42
  Speaker 5: it is. You can go to them right now. Hell,
• 40:45
  Speaker 5: I don't watch the news.
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: I don't.
• 40:48
  Speaker 5: I'm not gonna say which one. I don't want you news,
• 40:50
  Speaker 5: but you can go to any of your parents right now.
• 40:51
  Speaker 5: You can go what what station.
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: Do you watch?
• 40:54
  Speaker 5: We turn a TV on? It's not even when you
• 40:56
  Speaker 5: turn you on, what do you turn on? It's when
• 40:58
  Speaker 5: you turn a TV on what channel was on? And
• 41:00
  Speaker 5: they'll tell you right away. Tyler, Fox, CBS, ABC, WGN,
• 41:06
  Speaker 5: just name all of them. But that's what these stream
• 41:09
  Speaker 5: nachers want to be. And they're gonna offer you a
• 41:12
  Speaker 5: fuckload of content for the fee to do it.
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: And again, yeah, if.
• 41:16
  Speaker 5: You're having all these different ones, is gonna get expensive
• 41:19
  Speaker 5: for me. Honestly, I'd be fine with just fucking Paramount
• 41:21
  Speaker 5: and ESPN. I don't need Peacock, I don't need I mean,
• 41:25
  Speaker 5: I love HBO. I fucking love HBO, but if there's
• 41:29
  Speaker 5: not a show out then, like, honestly, the last thing
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: I'm watching HBO with the Penguin, and I hate to
• 41:33
  Speaker 5: say that was what a year ago earlier this year, yeah,
• 41:37
  Speaker 5: which is crazy to say. I haven't been on it
• 41:41
  Speaker 5: since then. So, and that's kind of transitioning into Pavris
• 41:45
  Speaker 5: dead to another thing, which payer is not dead a
• 41:49
  Speaker 5: w Actually, I mean it's okay, but it's getting better.
• 41:54
  Speaker 5: But they're still doing the PA per view model and
• 41:55
  Speaker 5: they're so, oh, our numbers are great. We're still doing
• 41:57
  Speaker 5: stuff like that, which is I can't from what I read.
• 41:59
  Speaker 5: This is the first time this week they didn't say
• 42:00
  Speaker 5: how great they're They're like, oh, we're doing okay. It's
• 42:02
  Speaker 5: like no, usually they're all like, oh, we're doing fantastic.
• 42:04
  Speaker 5: This is like, oh, we're okay. And they're about to
• 42:06
  Speaker 5: go on HBO Max. But they're doing the Disney UFC
• 42:13
  Speaker 5: model where you have to pay for it on top
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: of already paying which I get it, everyone's got to
• 42:20
  Speaker 5: make their money. But it's like it's one of those
• 42:24
  Speaker 5: it's like literally a red flag, like, Hi, don't buy us.
• 42:27
  Speaker 5: We're the one thing still staying behind. But you know,
• 42:29
  Speaker 5: we're still staying back in the dinosaur age. It's like no, like, hi,
• 42:32
  Speaker 5: we're still staying in there. Twenty twenty four, twenty three.
• 42:35
  Speaker 5: IF entertainment, it's like, yeah, everyone's in twenty twenty five,
• 42:37
  Speaker 5: twenty six where it's like, oh great, I just pay
• 42:38
  Speaker 5: for this and I get what I want without of
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: that pay extra. So that would be just see how
• 42:44
  Speaker 5: that turns out. But it's just like, and that's the
• 42:46
  Speaker 5: thing too, like every people need to do. You need
• 42:48
  Speaker 5: to take the time to sit down and go what
• 42:51
  Speaker 5: do I watch? What do I want to pay for?
• 42:55
  Speaker 5: And watch where I get all this content that I
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: want where it's with Obviously, you know.
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: You gotta have a budget.
• 43:02
  Speaker 5: People. A lot of people don't have budgets. Unfortunately, trust me,
• 43:04
  Speaker 5: get a budget. It's great, says the guy just made
• 43:10
  Speaker 5: another trip. Anyway, but to ignore that, click any clock
• 43:14
  Speaker 5: if you're listening, But the point being you just got
• 43:18
  Speaker 5: a budget and be like what do I watch and
• 43:19
  Speaker 5: what do I want? I prefer Honestly, I prefer Disney
• 43:22
  Speaker 5: Hulu because not only do I get the Star Wars stuff,
• 43:24
  Speaker 5: I also get whatever the fuck is on Hulu, which
• 43:26
  Speaker 5: is everything. Do I have the live thing? No? Because
• 43:30
  Speaker 5: I don't need to watch something live. I can watch
• 43:32
  Speaker 5: it the next day. Now, if I wasn't going to
• 43:35
  Speaker 5: be doing some traveling here to go visit my wife,
• 43:37
  Speaker 5: would I get the live thing? Sorry babe? Probably yeah,
• 43:42
  Speaker 5: but I'm not going to because I'm not going to
• 43:44
  Speaker 5: be home all the time to watch these games. So
• 43:45
  Speaker 5: would they be stupid to But again, going back to
• 43:49
  Speaker 5: your thing, like, and it's sort of been forty five minutes,
• 43:52
  Speaker 5: so sorry for rambling. Not sorry. There is zero excuse
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: to not have the NFL individual teams just anywhere just
• 44:03
  Speaker 5: to watch for a flat fee. And then with all yeah,
• 44:07
  Speaker 5: with all and the problems with all these apps that
• 44:10
  Speaker 5: offer all this content and unfortunately price you're gonna go up.
• 44:12
  Speaker 5: You just have to limit. And this is the pready
• 44:15
  Speaker 5: to end this part. Were going to the next thing.
• 44:17
  Speaker 5: If we got here, this is it's the perfect excuse
• 44:20
  Speaker 5: for you to sit down and go, what do I
• 44:22
  Speaker 5: want to watch? Because here's where I will combat the
• 44:25
  Speaker 5: people who hate streaming and you know haven't cut the
• 44:28
  Speaker 5: cord or you know who have cut the cord, and
• 44:30
  Speaker 5: go this is more. I'm paying more than cable blah
• 44:33
  Speaker 5: blah blah. When you had satellite TV, you had the
• 44:40
  Speaker 5: big I mean by the time, by the time before
• 44:43
  Speaker 5: streaming pretty much was the norm. Everyone had the premiere
• 44:47
  Speaker 5: cable package where they had twelve to fifteen hundred channels.
• 44:51
  Speaker 5: Who in the fuck watched every single channel? Nobody you watch.
• 44:57
  Speaker 5: Maybe if you watch more than ten, you are full
• 45:00
  Speaker 5: of it. You watch your one with the news, you
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: watch your one with your sports team, you watch your
• 45:05
  Speaker 5: one that always has your favorite movies, You watch your
• 45:07
  Speaker 5: one that maybe has your favorite TV show, and then
• 45:10
  Speaker 5: the other five or six are just happen to be.
• 45:12
  Speaker 5: If you're scrolling through it, you go, oh hey, they
• 45:14
  Speaker 5: actually are HBO, Like, oh hey they have this movie
• 45:17
  Speaker 5: on Oh I would say this movie in forever, let
• 45:19
  Speaker 5: me watch it. Nobody needs that much. You don't have
• 45:23
  Speaker 5: the time. You don't. It's it is physically impossible to
• 45:26
  Speaker 5: watch everything that is on all these platforms unless you
• 45:29
  Speaker 5: are a zillionaire who is literally going to go all right,
• 45:32

  Speaker 5: Ticket or one hundred and fifteen dollars a month for
• 49:37
  Speaker 5: returning users from up to four months okay. Great. Let's
• 49:41
  Speaker 5: say you don't do Sunday Ticket and you do let's
• 49:44
  Speaker 5: say ESPN and Fox. You do the ESPN Fox one.
• 49:52
  Speaker 5: There you go forty bucks a month. You take that
• 49:55
  Speaker 5: other forty five dollars and you buy yourself a couple
• 49:57
  Speaker 5: of cases of beer and a big ass fucking pizza.
• 50:01
  Speaker 5: Or you the one hundred and fifty You take use
• 50:03
  Speaker 5: one hundred and fifty dollars one and you buy yourself
• 50:05
  Speaker 5: a bunch of pizzas and some really good bourbon. There
• 50:10
  Speaker 5: you go.
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: You don't need to have them all.
• 50:14
  Speaker 5: It's not worth it. It's not worth the time. I love
• 50:20
  Speaker 5: the content that is on HBO. I love the stuff. Actually,
• 50:24
  Speaker 5: I used to be I used to be the biggest
• 50:25
  Speaker 5: critic of Netflix, because I would would be like, there's
• 50:27
  Speaker 5: too much to I don't know what to look for.
• 50:29
  Speaker 5: But I think Netflix is great. But for me, all
• 50:32
  Speaker 5: I need, honestly is that that you know, Oh and
• 50:35
  Speaker 5: the Green TV one. I said the thing too many
• 50:38
  Speaker 5: times because that stuff has stuff I like to watch
• 50:42
  Speaker 5: when I have the time to watch TV problems. People
• 50:46
  Speaker 5: think they have all this time to watch all this content,
• 50:47
  Speaker 5: but the problem is they don't, like, you see something
• 50:51
  Speaker 5: on this podcast. I'm going to the gym and they're
• 50:52
  Speaker 5: gonna come home and I do some launchery some other show.
• 50:54
  Speaker 5: But like tomorrow when I'm working, when I have a break,
• 50:59
  Speaker 5: I'll try on Peacemakers, says episode two, And I probably
• 51:02
  Speaker 5: won't watch any any TV until Saturday for Kickoff.
• 51:06
  Speaker 4: That's it.
• 51:09
  Speaker 5: And if there's no other good games on it within
• 51:10
  Speaker 5: my roots in your region, then I go, okay, whatever,
• 51:15

• 51:22
  Speaker 4: It doesn't have to be that complicated.
• 51:26
  Speaker 5: I just think people want to bitch. Now people have
• 51:29
  Speaker 5: to write to bitch about the stuff because there's and
• 51:32
  Speaker 5: I think it's not just the fact people are bitch
• 51:34
  Speaker 5: about the wrong way. They're bitching about it because see
• 51:38
  Speaker 5: them going horse here, I'm trying to become a voice
• 51:40
  Speaker 5: actor because they don't want to have to spend all those
• 51:43
  Speaker 5: hundreds of dollars to watch all these football games. But
• 51:46
  Speaker 5: it's like, you don't have to, you don't have to.
• 51:50
  Speaker 5: You could spend that other money you're not spending on
• 51:53
  Speaker 5: other things involving said football game, or honestly, at this point,
• 51:56
  Speaker 5: just go buy a fucking ticket anyway, and there's no
• 52:02
  Speaker 5: way you're gonna watch all that shit.

• 53:20
  Speaker 5: like phoebe, It's like fucking book it, you know, fucking
• 53:22
  Speaker 5: book it, reservation trips, all that shit. So, as some
• 53:28
  Speaker 5: people know, part of the name of this podcast is
• 53:30
  Speaker 5: a spot inspired by a certain big ip that involves
• 53:33
  Speaker 5: space and wars and shit. So there is this character
• 53:38
  Speaker 5: from that franchise that is not canon. He's not Cannon,
• 53:44
  Speaker 5: he not part of the story. He ever met I
• 53:47
  Speaker 5: fucking know named stark Killer. And about six eight months
• 53:54
  Speaker 5: ago they released a funkal for him without the mask,
• 53:57
  Speaker 5: and like if you if you type in star Killer,
• 53:59
  Speaker 5: you know it's from the Star Wars Force and Leash games.
• 54:01
  Speaker 5: You type in that, you see the cover of the
• 54:03
  Speaker 5: seat exactly. It looks like you know, it's actually based
• 54:05
  Speaker 5: off And he performed with Sam Whitwerk Fama Work is
• 54:08
  Speaker 5: the voice of Dark Mal two. I love to work
• 54:11
  Speaker 5: with him someday. Anyway, in the game, you kind of
• 54:16
  Speaker 5: have a little freedom ish with your decision making where
• 54:20
  Speaker 5: you can become good or bad, and if you go bad,
• 54:23
  Speaker 5: you get this badass suits and mask and shit. And
• 54:28
  Speaker 5: I'm not gonna lie. And I saw it with some
• 54:30
  Speaker 5: forms when they release Star Killer to the public, for like, ah,
• 54:32
  Speaker 5: that's cool, but like we want the mask.
• 54:34
  Speaker 4: I want the mask.
• 54:35
  Speaker 5: I want the fucking I want the you know, literally,
• 54:38
  Speaker 5: imagine imagine if Kylo Wren and Dart Vader had a
• 54:41
  Speaker 5: mask molded, like if Magicavin took Jet GPT and you said,
• 54:44
  Speaker 5: make me a mask of like these two mixed together
• 54:47
  Speaker 5: make it a little bit brighter colors. But then put
• 54:50
  Speaker 5: it on an evil sith lord that has lightsabers and shit.
• 54:54
  Speaker 5: Oh and just for the fucking fun of it, give
• 54:56
  Speaker 5: him Freddy Krueger gloves. That is literally the best way
• 55:00
  Speaker 5: I could describe who the fuck star Killer is as
• 55:02
  Speaker 5: a bad guy. That's pretty spot at so One of
• 55:08
  Speaker 5: the Blue A couple of weeks ago, Funko announces, Hey,
• 55:13
  Speaker 5: here's star Killer, We're gonna release them. Of course, the
• 55:17
  Speaker 5: world goes wild. Whoa so Funko has been. I don't
• 55:26
  Speaker 5: know how I've been doing this. I think it's been
• 55:27
  Speaker 5: about a year or so. They're doing this same where
• 55:29
  Speaker 5: it's called fame rewards. We're essentially whenever you buy anything
• 55:31
  Speaker 5: directly from them, not from anywhere, And I get.
• 55:34
  Speaker 4: Why they do that. You get points.
• 55:37
  Speaker 5: These points could be used towards entering raffles. These points
• 55:40
  Speaker 5: can be used towards getting discounts, uh, tickets to events,
• 55:44
  Speaker 5: all that shit. It's kind of easy to get some
• 55:47
  Speaker 5: points just by reading articles or doing social things with them,
• 55:50
  Speaker 5: or you just buy shit. I think it's like every
• 55:51
  Speaker 5: I think it's what every point, every dollar you spends
• 55:54
  Speaker 5: one hundred.
• 55:54
  Speaker 4: Point or something like that. I can't really exactly what.
• 55:56
  Speaker 5: Or I think it's every every dollar you spend is
• 55:59
  Speaker 5: ten points.
• 55:59
  Speaker 4: I believe it's like a crowd of our salt shock.
• 56:01
  Speaker 5: Anyway, they announced star Killer finally the crowd goes wild
• 56:06
  Speaker 5: will be coming out at this time. And when they
• 56:09
  Speaker 5: do these reward drops, they release what they do. And
• 56:11
  Speaker 5: again this is my first time doing it, and I
• 56:14
  Speaker 5: read a lot about this.
• 56:15
  Speaker 4: How I think they do it.
• 56:17
  Speaker 5: They do these releases where it's like, hey, we're gonna
• 56:20
  Speaker 5: release this figure that everybody wants. There's only a certain
• 56:26
  Speaker 5: limited number of them because we know they're gonna be
• 56:30
  Speaker 5: very much, you know, sought after. So here's how many
• 56:34
  Speaker 5: come out. I saw at one little won today for
• 56:38
  Speaker 5: Fantasm from the Batman Fantasm movie. You know they made
• 56:41
  Speaker 5: one years ago. This one looks a little more cooler.
• 56:44
  Speaker 5: It's got smoking shit, although I like the one I have,
• 56:46
  Speaker 5: Like they said, uh, let me get the number here
• 56:49
  Speaker 5: for you.
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: Uh dude, do great Auntie Yoke Chuck Cantina not even
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: drinking alcohol five hundred, So nine thousand, five hundred, you go,
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: that's quite a lot.
• 57:05
  Speaker 5: I go, true, But when other ones have had like
• 57:09
  Speaker 5: twenty thirty all that shit. It's it's like, okay, so
• 57:11
  Speaker 5: not very common. So Star Killer was announced with a
• 57:16
  Speaker 5: couple other ones. And the way they do this is
• 57:18
  Speaker 5: these like these reward jobs. Essentially, it is not like
• 57:21
  Speaker 5: it is only exclusively for ward members. Essentially, it's like, hey,
• 57:24
  Speaker 5: we're gonna release it this time. Use your points to earn,
• 57:29
  Speaker 5: not to essentially have the right to purchase this. It's
• 57:34
  Speaker 5: not like you get your points to you a discounts like, no, hey,
• 57:35
  Speaker 5: if you use your points, we're gonna let you purchase.
• 57:37
  Speaker 4: This if you have enough points.
• 57:40
  Speaker 5: Some pocos have been you know, fifteen hundred, which is
• 57:43
  Speaker 5: kind of low, twenty five a little bit lower, ninety
• 57:46
  Speaker 5: five hundred, like I mentioned, I might be wrong with
• 57:48
  Speaker 5: the fantastic, but it's like the most common war for that.
• 57:50
  Speaker 5: So starkllary thinking, what, okay, three thousand, two tho star Wars.
• 57:53
  Speaker 5: It's gonna be a pretty big number, right, Like they're
• 57:55
  Speaker 5: gonna want everyone to have this character. Wouldn't we be
• 57:58
  Speaker 5: un are a one thousand? Would it?
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 58:01
  Speaker 5: That's right? It fucking was seven and fifty. They only
• 58:07
  Speaker 5: made allegedly seven hundred and fifty of these bad boys.
• 58:13
  Speaker 5: So did my due diligence. I got my points up.
• 58:17
  Speaker 5: I had actually a gift card, use a gift card,
• 58:19
  Speaker 5: got some more points, read some articles and all that shit.
• 58:21
  Speaker 5: Got my point. I got my points, got my points
• 58:25
  Speaker 5: like other than like and as I was telling my wife,
• 58:28
  Speaker 5: other than like the few other ones I've gone. And
• 58:32
  Speaker 5: then there's like two I want to get, but I'll
• 58:34
  Speaker 5: never get because I'm sorry when I love my collection,
• 58:37
  Speaker 5: not justifying that purchase absol fuckingly not obviously listening to
• 58:40
  Speaker 5: the podcasts, you know, sirrd by the Sith Trooper that's
• 58:42
  Speaker 5: been done to death, just like my hater for the packers. Anyway, God,
• 58:47
  Speaker 5: Jerry Jones is an idiot. Anyway, seven hundred and fifty
• 58:52
  Speaker 5: they launched him, and nine o'clock. Before I get to
• 58:55
  Speaker 5: the launch, let me say this really quick week before
• 59:01
  Speaker 5: it launched, for the essentially raffles like, hey, come on here,
• 59:06
  Speaker 5: drop your points and what you know if you get there.
• 59:08
  Speaker 5: And by the way, that's nice thing too, is if
• 59:09
  Speaker 5: you try to use your points, you don't get them
• 59:11
  Speaker 5: get your points back, so it's not like you're it's
• 59:13
  Speaker 5: not like your sol.
• 59:13
  Speaker 4: Which is nice.
• 59:15
  Speaker 5: So about a week before I get a notification because
• 59:21
  Speaker 5: I have these like certain like Tracker ones where it's like, hey,
• 59:23
  Speaker 5: just if anything like in this category comes out, let
• 59:25
  Speaker 5: me know and I'll look at like now, okay, maybe
• 59:27
  Speaker 5: I'll say it, maybe they'll look at later whatever. People
• 59:31
  Speaker 5: were listing this item on eBay a week before it
• 59:35
  Speaker 5: came out for like three hundred and fifty four hundred dollars.
• 59:40
  Speaker 5: That's funny. How can you list something that you don't have?
• 59:44
  Speaker 5: Or since they have a partnership with Fongo and eBay,
• 59:48
  Speaker 5: why the fuck would they allow it? I don't know.
• 59:51
  Speaker 5: Now again an ebait, you're allowed to post and sell
• 59:53
  Speaker 5: what you want, I think, within a reason. But it's like,
• 59:55
  Speaker 5: how are you allowed to post and sell something that
• 59:59
  Speaker 5: the general public doesn't even have access to yet? How
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 5: is that fair? It's like, oh, are you using bots?
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 4: No, of course you are.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 5: So finally day comes A's a Thursday morning, took my
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 5: break during work, logged in, had my credit card already uploaded,
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 5: had everything ready to go. It starts and the website
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 5: fucking crashes. Website crashes. It's a shit show. No one
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 5: could get in. People and I some people couldn't even
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 5: get on the page. I got to where it's like,
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 5: do you want to assimmit your points? Do you please check
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 5: this box understanding these points cannot be returned if you
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 5: you know, once you purchase this item, didn't work, didn't work,
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 5: didn't work, didn't work. Minutes later sold out, Well that sucked.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 5: Didn't get it now again, it's a fucking hobby. Like
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 5: you don't you can't get over. Don't get over. I
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 5: mean I was a little pissed about it. I'm like, hey,
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 5: some came up today. I did the mom like what
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 5: the fuck? And then I moved on whatever. So thankfully,
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 5: I believe it was this popular social plate it's called
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 5: disc trackers. They simply they put out a thing saying, hey,
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 5: if you submitted it and at dockt your points, you
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 5: didn't get it, email them and uh, you know they'll
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 5: they'll essentially they'll give you your points back because it's
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 5: one of those things where it's like if you don't
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 5: say anything, they're gonna take your time giving your points back. Now,
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 5: like it's it's kind of shit, but it's like it's
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 5: just a it's just it's like this, Hey, if there's
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 5: no issue, we're not gonna look at it. It's like, oh,
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 5: we overcharge you, Okay, sorry money. So I email them
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 5: and uh, personally, I have not had great success to
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 5: their customer service in the past. I've had items that
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 5: were delivered. Actually, everything I've ever gott from has always
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 5: been livered, but there would be delivery delays sometimes. There
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 5: was one time I got overcharge. I got my money
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 5: back for something. I'm just like, it would take forever
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 5: to get them back to me, would just be a
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 5: shit show. So I'm like, oh, fuck it, fine whatever.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 5: So I emailed them this Thursday and I go, yeah,
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 5: can I get my points back lease.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 4: Through my account.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 5: Then Saturday night, I went to the gym, had a
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 5: few beverages in me came back. I was saying, my competer,
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 5: I have a little like game session with the guys,
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 5: and I get an email at like ninety five at night,
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 5: which that was fucking weird, and it's like, uh no,
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 5: chuck um, you got it. And I'm like pretty sure
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 5: I didn't. My credit card doesn't say I got it,
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 5: my car doesn't say I got it, so which then
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 5: I guess this was smart on their part. They anticipated
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 5: this might happen, so what they did was essentially, if
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 5: your points were accepted, they gave you until a certain
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 5: date to purchase it. So I'm like, okay, I don't
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 5: believe this, and I generally thought it was scam. So
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 5: they sent me a link and I'm like, okay, I'm
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 5: not going on there. So I go on my phone,
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 5: I log in, I go to the page, even though
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 5: for the last two days it said sold out, and
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 5: what would you know, add to Karte. So I got
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 5: him right here and now I'm very happy. Good take
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 5: care and don't kidding, no, it was truly awesome. I
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 5: do have to give them a shout out for getting
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 5: back to me so fast. That was really appreciative. I
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 5: appreciate it. That appreciative.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 4: Jesus Christ.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 5: But here's my issue. It's going back to the thing.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 5: I don't know how places like that or how you
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 5: even go back to like when the PlayStations came out,
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 5: why are places allowed to add items on there when
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 5: they don't even have them.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 4: In hand, which to mean that's bullshit.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 5: Because going back to this eBay thing, people who didn't
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 5: get it rightfully upset, which hey, and that's the thing,
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 5: and that's the thing I'm happy about with it because
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 5: the thing too a bitch about for Funko four years
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 5: is like, oh, it's not cool anymore. It's like I
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 5: go any anything that comes out, anyone can get it now.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 5: It's like, well, yeah they made During COVID, everyone was
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 5: either working on their houses or spending money on like
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 5: things they wanted. That's all people were doing because we
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 5: couldn't go anywhere, and people, unfortunately were going on eBay
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 5: the day it had happened, buying it through eBay for
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 5: hundreds and hundreds of dollars, only to then get notifications
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 5: from these sellers saying, Hi, your sale has been declined,
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 5: thinking oh, it's wrong on my credit card? Did it?
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 5: What's going on? That's just seller?
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 4: No response.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 5: Then said seller re uploaded it later on eBay for
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 5: double the price because they got it and they knew
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 5: what it should show. The thing was, which sucks, and
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 5: that sucks for the collectors.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 4: It does.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 5: And I say this to people, nothing, as much as
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 5: I love Funko and I love Star Wars, it's not
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 5: it's not worth that much.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 4: It's not don't buy it. You know what's it happened?
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 5: You my wife? Because you don't buy what happens these
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 5: peple get fucked. Like all the guys that bought all
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 5: the PlayStations and bought the hunches of PlayStations, what happened?
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 5: They got to where they were selling for three to
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 5: two hundred bucks.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 4: Sucks as suck.
• 1:05:12
