- 1:50Speaker 2: as so forth as he won the Barstool Internet Invitational.
- 1:54Speaker 2: So and again I'm not affiliated with Barstool or anything
- 1:57Speaker 2: like that, but yeah, definitely look out look on their
- 2:00Speaker 2: socials and platforms for all the stuff that are doing
- 2:03Speaker 2: for Cody and stuff like that. I believe he went

- 2:09Speaker 2: for him and stuff like that too in his name.
- 2:11Speaker 2: So just go go on there stuff. You can see
- 2:13Speaker 2: all that information because that's like stuff like that. That's always cool,
- 2:17Speaker 2: even in these unfortunate circumstances. Today, I am drinking high
- 2:21Speaker 2: quality H two and I'm also drinking a bubbly sparkling
- 2:24Speaker 2: water BlackBerry. Give me a second story time before I
- 2:33Speaker 2: get to what the title the podcast is, which I
- 2:34Speaker 2: don't know the title is. I'm not talking about but
- 2:36Speaker 2: I don't know the title is of it yet story time,
- 2:39Speaker 2: So I'm not sure if I talk about this in
- 2:40Speaker 2: the last podcast. If I did, I apologize. I do
- 2:43Speaker 2: listen to my podcast, and I do thank you very
- 2:45Speaker 2: much because I have to when I edit them in
- 2:48Speaker 2: my recording studio aka, which is my office that my
- 2:53Speaker 2: wife awesomely painted, because I can't paign for shit. Anyway,
- 3:00Speaker 2: So I talked about a little bit on here. I
- 3:01Speaker 2: do know I talked about this at one point. There
- 3:04Speaker 2: is this beer beer It's good. There is this beer
- 3:09Speaker 2: in Dublin, Ireland, and my phone is asking me to
- 3:13Speaker 2: do my Duolingo even though I've already done it twice today.
- 3:15Speaker 2: Would you love one that says, oh, you don't do
- 3:17Speaker 2: your shit. I literally just checked the confirmation that I
- 3:20Speaker 2: did it today. Anyway, there's this brewery in Dublin I
- 3:23Speaker 2: don't know if you've heard of it. It's called Guy
- 3:26Speaker 2: and Els or something like that. Guinness. It's pretty good beer,
- 3:29Speaker 2: mostly known for like their stouts and all that stuff
- 3:31Speaker 2: in the long history and Ireland and all that stuff. Belither,
- 3:35Speaker 2: I believe the show is curly out about the history
- 3:37Speaker 2: at Guinness on Netflix. I'm not mistaken. I don't know
- 3:39Speaker 2: that for a fact. I do know there way they
- 3:43Speaker 2: were making a show, but I don't all the show
- 3:44Speaker 2: actually came out yet. I know there's a trailer. I
- 3:46Speaker 2: know that for sure. Anyway, back to story time. So
- 3:50Speaker 2: they have this beer, this lagger called hop House thirteen. Okay,
- 3:57Speaker 2: I think it's a pretty good beer. My wife, if
- 4:00Speaker 2: you listen to this podcast, really enjoys that beer, and
- 4:03Speaker 2: she don't drink beer. So when I came home recently
- 4:09Speaker 2: after my recent outing visiting her in Europe, it's not
- 4:15Speaker 2: been like something I planned always. It's just been circumstance. Unfortunately,
- 4:20Speaker 2: for where she's at, there really isn't any connected or
- 4:22Speaker 2: direct flights from the Chicago area or Milwaukee area too,
- 4:26Speaker 2: so usually there's a layover in like Frankfurt, or if
- 4:31Speaker 2: you're in the state's Newark or New York or Dulles,
- 4:34Speaker 2: d C. Richmond, all that stuff. But when if I
- 4:37Speaker 2: come home, I usually have to do a layover, and
- 4:39Speaker 2: I majority of the time have done my layovers in Dublin, Ireland,
- 4:45Speaker 2: good old Dublin man. I I've only vacation there was
- 4:51Speaker 2: But I love their airport anyway. And funny thing that
- 4:55Speaker 2: I said, I know I talked about this before too.
- 4:56Speaker 2: Funny about the airport is they have a US Customs
- 4:59Speaker 2: checkpoint there where you can do essentially your check You're
- 5:02Speaker 2: essentially going through your customs going into America essentially through
- 5:06Speaker 2: this airport is there an ally, so you don't have
- 5:08Speaker 2: to go through the international stuff when you get home,
- 5:11Speaker 2: which is really nice because I can take a lot
- 5:13Speaker 2: of time because it is a smaller airport obviously, and
- 5:16Speaker 2: everyone's doing it. You don't have to worry about your
- 5:18Speaker 2: bags and all that stuff. They simply just ask her
- 5:20Speaker 2: you check anything in all that jazz. That's pretty simple.
- 5:22Speaker 2: So anyway, moving along, So this beer that my wife
- 5:29Speaker 2: really enjoys. She's obviously had a couple of times. I
- 5:35Speaker 2: swear I've had it at the Guinness Brewery. I don't
- 5:39Speaker 2: know for a fact. She's pretty certain I did it,
- 5:41Speaker 2: which probably makes sense because her memory is a lot
- 5:44Speaker 2: better than mine, so obviously had it. We had it
- 5:49Speaker 2: at It's only available, and not not just Ireland. It's
- 5:54Speaker 2: essentially only available in Europe. You can find it at
- 5:57Speaker 2: essentially pretty much anywhere in Ireland, but then you can
- 5:59Speaker 2: also just find it sparingly in some English or Irish
- 6:04Speaker 2: pubs throughout Europe. We have been to some that have it.
- 6:07Speaker 2: We have been to some that don't. She has been
- 6:09Speaker 2: to some that have it, She has been to some
- 6:11Speaker 2: that don't. So I had the awesome task of when
- 6:15Speaker 2: I came home recently, I had my layover at Dublin,
- 6:19Speaker 2: my four and a half five hour layover in Dublin,
- 6:21Speaker 2: and boy did I hate that layover, just because time dragged.
- 6:27Speaker 2: So anyway, I had the task of that I to
- 6:33Speaker 2: volunteer distribute to was to go through Dublin. Dublin Airport,
- 6:38Speaker 2: and of course, says, any airport is smart enough, does it.
- 6:41Speaker 2: If you're in Orlando Airport, you're gonna find a mouse store.
- 6:44Speaker 2: I'm trying to say names here. I say, guess we're
- 6:47Speaker 2: trying to find a Disney store if you go through Hell.
- 6:50Speaker 2: If anyone who's been through the O'Hare airport, You're gonna
- 6:53Speaker 2: run through a probably fifteen thousand advertisements for nuts on Clark.
- 6:57Speaker 2: You know exactly what I'm talking about. You through Milwaukee Airport,
- 7:01Speaker 2: you're gonna see a bunch of signs that say hey
- 7:03Speaker 2: before you leave, make sure you grab a case of
- 7:05Speaker 2: spotted cow. Even though most airlines now don't like you
- 7:08Speaker 2: to bring on alcohol. So anyway, even though you could
- 7:12Speaker 2: consider duty free anyway, So get to the Guinness airp
- 7:15Speaker 2: or got to the Guinness airport they wish. Get to
- 7:18Speaker 2: the Dublin Airport, and I go to the Guinness store. Okay,
- 7:23Speaker 2: I'm not a guy that usually buys scenes to the airport.
- 7:26Speaker 2: I'll buy food, like I'll have like lunch or like
- 7:28Speaker 2: a little coffee at the airport. I'll get some snacks,
- 7:31Speaker 2: you know, somewhat trail mix candy if that never done
- 7:39Speaker 2: anything like duty free or butt like merchandise from an airport.
- 7:44Speaker 2: Usually when I buy it, it's right when I get home,
- 7:46Speaker 2: or when I get to my destination before I'm going
- 7:47Speaker 2: for travel, because then I could just put that on
- 7:49Speaker 2: my check bag when I return. Anyway, moving along, So
- 7:52Speaker 2: I go to this Guinness store and I find and
- 7:54Speaker 2: you know, my wife is like, they're gonna have hop
- 7:57Speaker 2: House thirteen there, They're gonna have it, Like okay. Of
- 8:00Speaker 2: course I didn't ask her directly how kind of what
- 8:02Speaker 2: it would be coming in. So I get there and
- 8:04Speaker 2: it is literally in these sixteen ounce bottles, pint size bottles.
- 8:11Speaker 2: I'm like, oh okay, kind of hard to travel with those.
- 8:16Speaker 2: How do we do this? So before I go up,
- 8:18Speaker 2: I go up to the very nice lady at the
- 8:21Speaker 2: desk and I go, hi, I would like to get
- 8:24Speaker 2: some bottles of this. How many can fit in a
- 8:26Speaker 2: bag to it? She responds, how bad do you want them? Like, well,
- 8:34Speaker 2: my wife really wants them. I'm also providing one to
- 8:37Speaker 2: my father in laws to thank you for picking up
- 8:38Speaker 2: for the airport, so pretty bad. Also, I would like
- 8:42Speaker 2: one as well. So she tried to fit six into
- 8:45Speaker 2: a duty free bag. That did not happen. We went
- 8:47Speaker 2: from six. We could have done five, but as she said,
- 8:50Speaker 2: she's like, I don't think this bag is gonna hold it,
- 8:53Speaker 2: And I'm like, I don't think this bag's gonna hold
- 8:55Speaker 2: it either, So we stetled it on four. Now I
- 8:59Speaker 2: will for buying a bottle of beer sixteen ounce in
- 9:07Speaker 2: an airport. I don't care what part of the world
- 9:10Speaker 2: you're in. Again, buying alcohol in an airport was pretty
- 9:14Speaker 2: cheap if you believe. It was three forty five euro
- 9:18Speaker 2: so what you do the convert like what not? It
- 9:20Speaker 2: wasn't even five bucks American? So cost me what thirteen
- 9:25Speaker 2: fourteen bucks with all that stuff. So I get the beer.
- 9:30Speaker 2: I get in a travel duty travel bag. They pack it.
- 9:33Speaker 2: They package it really nicely. They actually put it like
- 9:35Speaker 2: in a like a really nice seal bag to like
- 9:37Speaker 2: keep it safe and pattered. They put the little bottle
- 9:41Speaker 2: not like cushion things on it. This essentially keep the
- 9:44Speaker 2: bottle safe. Get to the air get to an airplane.
- 9:48Speaker 2: I put it overhead, thankfully if I put it like
- 9:49Speaker 2: in a nice spot where it's not gonna roll around.
- 9:51Speaker 2: I had, I had a jacket. I put my jacket
- 9:53Speaker 2: on top of it just to cover muscle. Makes you
- 9:55Speaker 2: avoid it from sliding all that stuff landing O'Hair. Get out.
- 10:00Speaker 2: Check the first thing I do. Check the beer. Gotta
- 10:02Speaker 2: check guy chick the muchI dice. All good, no problems,
- 10:06Speaker 2: All right, cool, Get off the bearplane. Go to go
- 10:10Speaker 2: to a baggage claim, get my check bag. Follow in
- 10:13Speaker 2: all picks me up. I give him this beer, and
- 10:16Speaker 2: of course he doesn't know. He goes, wait, it's only
- 10:17Speaker 2: one because again, as anyone thought, it would probably be
- 10:19Speaker 2: like a six pack, like, no, it's just bottles. It's
- 10:21Speaker 2: literally just a little bottle, like okay, cool. So he
- 10:26Speaker 2: gets his beer, I bring the other beers home. I
- 10:28Speaker 2: put him in the fridge. Keep me cool. And this
- 10:30Speaker 2: has been kind of a long week, which why I
- 10:32Speaker 2: haven't done a podcast a little bit. I do apolgize
- 10:33Speaker 2: for that. It's like, you know what, I've been reading
- 10:35Speaker 2: a lot, been trying to finish Fourth Wing, reading comic
- 10:38Speaker 2: books in between, Like you know what, I'm gonna read
- 10:40Speaker 2: this comic book. I'm gonna finish it, and I'm gonna
- 10:43Speaker 2: have my hop House thirteen because i had a really
- 10:46Speaker 2: big day at work in a good way. So pop
- 10:49Speaker 2: up on the bottle and I'm like, you know what,
- 10:50Speaker 2: I'm gonna beef classy. I'm gonna grab my Notre Dame glass,
- 10:54Speaker 2: my Notre Dame Guinness glass that I have. Oh yes,
- 10:56Speaker 2: it could be really good, Like I'll have one or two. Now,
- 10:59Speaker 2: if you go back to the original part of the
- 11:00Speaker 2: story I said, it is a pint sized bottle, because yes,
- 11:05Speaker 2: it's lily, just one pint. Not trying to say I
- 11:10Speaker 2: was disappointed, but it's like, I literally traveled halfway across
- 11:16Speaker 2: the world with this beer to come home to just
- 11:20Speaker 2: have a glass of beer. And this is coming from
- 11:24Speaker 2: a guy as you've got ladies up and I've listened
- 11:26Speaker 2: to who doesn't often drink that much, let alone on
- 11:29Speaker 2: a podcast called Chuck's Cantina, which the theme is essentially
- 11:34Speaker 2: kind of like a bar setting where it's like, hey,
- 11:35Speaker 2: we come in here, we might have a few cocktails,
- 11:38Speaker 2: might have a few bruskies, might get grooted and say
- 11:40Speaker 2: some really stupid stuff, but all for the sake of
- 11:42Speaker 2: good hearted fun and comedy. Yeah, that was a disappointing,
- 11:48Speaker 2: even though the whole time I knew it is a pint.
- 11:52Speaker 2: It is a bottle, like a fill a pint. Now,
- 11:55Speaker 2: somebody might say, you know, a pint's a pretty a
- 11:58Speaker 2: pretty good sized drink. Not when you're a guy my size.
- 12:02Speaker 2: I also not when you travel halfway across the world. Anyway,
- 12:07Speaker 2: whatever it's worth it, it was fun, it was delicious.
- 12:12Speaker 2: Finished the comic book. It was good. May I'll do
- 12:14Speaker 2: storyvies for comic books at some point on all A
- 12:17Speaker 2: lot of people are just it in that but yeah, fuck,
- 12:24Speaker 2: oh god, you gotta love it. You do you do
- 12:28Speaker 2: all this crazy stuff, and it's just like again, you
- 12:31Speaker 2: do what you do like this, like like high like
- 12:33Speaker 2: high stakes traveling, but you do. They're like, Okay, gotta
- 12:35Speaker 2: make sure it's packaged properly. I got make sure I
- 12:37Speaker 2: get the right amount, you know, I gotta make sure
- 12:39Speaker 2: I get one from me, and get one from my
- 12:41Speaker 2: wife and one for my father in law and then
- 12:43Speaker 2: get one another one from my wife because this is
- 12:44Speaker 2: one of the only beers she actually enjoys, and like
- 12:47Speaker 2: she's coming back soon, so I gonna be able to
- 12:49Speaker 2: have it. And yeah, I've actually reached out to uh
- 12:52Speaker 2: local uh liquor stores around my area to see they
- 12:55Speaker 2: would carry it, and one actually said no shit. So yeah,
- 13:03Speaker 2: like I was disappointed. I was disappointed, but I was
- 13:07Speaker 2: happy with what I drank. I was disappointed. So AnyWho,
- 13:10Speaker 2: moving along the thing I want to talk about today
- 13:13Speaker 2: because obviously since I've talked about a little bit, I'm
- 13:15Speaker 2: starting to get indulging into the voice acting stuff, trying
- 13:18Speaker 2: to get auditions in and stuff like that. One thing
- 13:21Speaker 2: I do want to talk about because I just I
- 13:26Speaker 2: won't say who. I had discussion was someone the other
- 13:28Speaker 2: day about this kind of go back to the comic
- 13:30Speaker 2: books thing, and I have to agree, and unfortunately I
- 13:32Speaker 2: agree with them. I am in that realm and I
- 13:36Speaker 2: hope it doesn't happen. I'm in that retrospect that I
- 13:40Speaker 2: do believe, unfortunately that small business is dying, especially the
- 13:43Speaker 2: United States, and I hope the God, I hope they
- 13:44Speaker 2: God I'm wrong, I really do reason being as you
- 13:49Speaker 2: can read by the title, so media is going through
- 13:53Speaker 2: this weird transition where everyone is just trying to buy
- 13:56Speaker 2: everything just to expand their giant life library and also
- 14:01Speaker 2: to expand their giant stream platform. So it's literally like
- 14:04Speaker 2: they are the only soul platform, i e. The Warner
- 14:09Speaker 2: Brothers Discovery. They are currently up for sale. I'm sure
- 14:11Speaker 2: if you've heard, I'm not sure if you have stock
- 14:13Speaker 2: in them. If you do have stock in them, you
- 14:14Speaker 2: might want to buy some. It's probably a little high
- 14:16Speaker 2: right now, but like if you've already bought some for yourself,
- 14:18Speaker 2: good for you. And yeah, it's just been a crazy
- 14:22Speaker 2: because Warner Brothers is a company that literally less than
- 14:26Speaker 2: ten years ago was, with all due respect, a laughing
- 14:31Speaker 2: stock of media. The AT and T ownership did not
- 14:36Speaker 2: go as planned. You don't need just to look at
- 14:38Speaker 2: the Snyder stuff that happened with it just to just
- 14:41Speaker 2: to say how bad it was. Again, everyone and their
- 14:45Speaker 2: mother was shocked when they heard essentially that the Discovery Channel, yes,
- 14:50Speaker 2: the Discovery Channel, had bought Warner Brothers, this household name conglomerate,
- 14:58Speaker 2: you know, like again you could. Everyone knows the name Disney,
- 15:02Speaker 2: everyone knows the name Amazon, everyone knows the name Warner Brothers.
- 15:07Speaker 2: And they were down essentially in the dumps, and so
- 15:11Speaker 2: Discovery bought them. And over the last seven I remember
- 15:15Speaker 2: when it was it might even less than seven year.
- 15:18Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure it is less than seven years. We'll say,
- 15:20Speaker 2: we'll go, well five, less than five years. It is
- 15:22Speaker 2: now making money, breaking records, and now they're for sale
- 15:28Speaker 2: and a lot of people are vying in to try
- 15:31Speaker 2: to buy set asset. And obviously there's a lot involved
- 15:35Speaker 2: with Warner Brothers. You got Warner Brothers, you got the movies,
- 15:39Speaker 2: you got the gold standard of television and HBO. You
- 15:42Speaker 2: have their television programs in CNN and TNT, and yeah,
- 15:48Speaker 2: that's it. Those are the big ones. But at the
- 15:52Speaker 2: end of the day, it's just like now and also too,
- 15:54Speaker 2: you got Discovery because Discovery is in that realm too.
- 15:58Speaker 2: With them, I'm not sure if discoveries are found an
- 16:00Speaker 2: emilt more than I think the one discovery I really
- 16:04Speaker 2: I type partake it is the magnoliast stuff. They have
- 16:07Speaker 2: good ship. My wife showed me the show and I
- 16:10Speaker 2: liked it a lot. Fixer upper Man what we're trying
- 16:13Speaker 2: to do anyway, So why am I talking about this
- 16:17Speaker 2: because well, it's good and bad because, like I said,
- 16:22Speaker 2: it's another bad because it's another major company buying another
- 16:30Speaker 2: major asset company, meaning essentially there's a less competition, meaning
- 16:34Speaker 2: I it's hard to get work. But also it's just
- 16:36Speaker 2: one of those things where it's like we have there's
- 16:43Speaker 2: there's so many and the problem is too is like
- 16:46Speaker 2: you don't know how they're going to handle all that
- 16:50Speaker 2: stuff that they acquire. Perfect example, going back a few
- 16:54Speaker 2: years ago, everyone another one. Everyone had heard the name
- 16:58Speaker 2: twentieth Century Fox. They're actually the ones who actually distributed
- 17:02Speaker 2: and the produced, but did not produce, but distributed these
- 17:06Speaker 2: Star Wars movies. They also did the X Men movies, Deadpool, Alien, Predator.
- 17:14Speaker 2: The list goes on a very high the Simpsons Family, Guy,
- 17:21Speaker 2: Sons of van Archy with FX and all those shows,
- 17:24Speaker 2: very high profile things. So actually about eight yeah, seven,
- 17:30Speaker 2: eight years ago they were going up for sale. Fox
- 17:34Speaker 2: was going to sell them, and Disney stepped in to
- 17:40Speaker 2: acquire set asset, and the rumor I believe it was
- 17:45Speaker 2: you can find it out that you can find all
- 17:46Speaker 2: this online. This is all the majority. This is factual.
- 17:50Speaker 2: I am paraphrase a little bit here, lads, gentlemen. Sorry. Essentially,
- 17:54Speaker 2: they were going to buy twentieth century Fox and all
- 17:58Speaker 2: the film, the TV assets, not not Fox News, but
- 18:02Speaker 2: just the Fox like uh, television shows, movies and stuff
- 18:07Speaker 2: like that, not the actual Fox News, which obviously makes
- 18:09Speaker 2: sense because Fox is still on and stuff like that.
- 18:12Speaker 2: Also was Fox Sports like that's all separate, just essentially
- 18:15Speaker 2: the film property at film and television show property, excuse me,
- 18:21Speaker 2: not their news and sports packages. So they eventually went in,
- 18:25Speaker 2: I believe off. The bid was like fifty two to
- 18:29Speaker 2: fifty five billion dollars, A lot of a lot of
- 18:33Speaker 2: fucking money. Uh, mister iger, can I just get literally
- 18:39Speaker 2: a percent of that or not even a percent? Give
- 18:43Speaker 2: me a tenth of a percent. Jesus, I don't even
- 18:47Speaker 2: know what that math is. If you know me, I'm
- 18:49Speaker 2: not gonnat math. Sorry. And then out of nowhere, a parent, allegedly,
- 18:54Speaker 2: as we say here in this canteena Comcast Universal came
- 18:59Speaker 2: in and offered Fox sixty five billion dollars I believe,
- 19:08Speaker 2: and then eventually it ended up being where Disney ended
- 19:10Speaker 2: up paying seventy three billion dollars to acquire twenty century Fox.
- 19:14Speaker 2: Now the reason I bring this up, and this is
- 19:16Speaker 2: the funny part. Allegedly and again this is all alleged
- 19:21Speaker 2: because there's lawyers involved and stuff like, so like, oh no,
- 19:24Speaker 2: we actually did it, but we The rumor was Comcast
- 19:28Speaker 2: Universal just did that just to make Disney pay more.
- 19:34Speaker 2: That's the rumor that's going around for years, and they
- 19:36Speaker 2: had no intention to buy it that they allegedly had
- 19:40Speaker 2: just made these bids during the non Let me make
- 19:44Speaker 2: sure I get my the non binding bidding period, because
- 19:49Speaker 2: that's a very keyword that's going on right now with
- 19:51Speaker 2: the Warner Brothers discussions. Non binding. They originally the essentially
- 19:56Speaker 2: made this bid that was non binding, but apparently it's
- 20:01Speaker 2: scared Disney. Than then when it came time to buy,
- 20:02Speaker 2: and they're like, okay, cool, seventy billion dollars or seventy
- 20:05Speaker 2: three seventy four billion dollars. So it's suchly twenty to
- 20:09Speaker 2: twenty five million more or million they wish, twenty to
- 20:15Speaker 2: twenty five bill jeesu, I did it again, twenty to
- 20:18Speaker 2: twenty five billion. There we go, chuck more than what
- 20:24Speaker 2: they had originally wanted to spend. Now, of course, that
- 20:26Speaker 2: happens with anything, you know, whenever you hear about these
- 20:28Speaker 2: companies being bidden on or selling, it's always like, Okay,
- 20:31Speaker 2: how much do you want? We want Okay, we want
- 20:33Speaker 2: this moneth. Okay, we're gonna offer you forty billion dollars. Okay. Uh.
- 20:38Speaker 2: They never they never say yes to the first deal
- 20:41Speaker 2: unless they're that desperate or they're breaking the law and
- 20:46Speaker 2: they're trying to get out quickly. And Disney end up
- 20:49Speaker 2: spending seventy three seventy four billion dollars on twenty century Fox,
- 20:54Speaker 2: which people again, it's a it was a major news
- 20:56Speaker 2: story back then, people still talk about to this day,
- 20:58Speaker 2: especially in entertainment media stuff. But as some people have said,
- 21:05Speaker 2: with any sale, yes, there is tend to be people,
- 21:08Speaker 2: particularly who overpay because obviously there's what the stock is
- 21:11Speaker 2: and stuff like that. But in order for them to
- 21:14Speaker 2: sell said stock, they have to go in the best
- 21:16Speaker 2: interests of the shareholders. So there will be like, O, hey,
- 21:19Speaker 2: you want to give us a little more tunk of
- 21:20Speaker 2: Times and Disney did that now again, but the rumor
- 21:23Speaker 2: is Comcast Universal never had the intention or to want
- 21:27Speaker 2: rather to buy it. They allegedly just did it just
- 21:30Speaker 2: to spite them. So it's just like again, it's just
- 21:33Speaker 2: that petty competition, which is good. Competition is good. Competition
- 21:37Speaker 2: creates cash. Controversy creates cash. And the reason I bringing
- 21:42Speaker 2: that up is because with the Warner Brothers thing, now
- 21:44Speaker 2: they're essentially are there are three major players three okay,
- 21:47Speaker 2: there are three sharks. You got Paramount, who just got
- 21:51Speaker 2: bought by sky Dance. The for people who are business
- 21:55Speaker 2: I don't know who the heck these people are. The
- 21:57Speaker 2: Ellison family bought Paramount recently or they are I'm going
- 22:00Speaker 2: right again paraphrasing. They got sky Dance, which is a studio,
- 22:04Speaker 2: and the Ellison family was super loaded now owns wants
- 22:08Speaker 2: to get now then bought Paramount, which is funny because
- 22:11Speaker 2: a couple of years ago, Paramount was literally on the
- 22:13Speaker 2: verge of bankruptcy even though like movies like Top Gun
- 22:16Speaker 2: made a billion dollars mission impossible, movies like those make
- 22:21Speaker 2: a lot of money. While they're all expensive to make,
- 22:23Speaker 2: they still made money. And sky Dance bought Paramount. And
- 22:28Speaker 2: now Paramount is like this like new like Giant, you know,
- 22:31Speaker 2: it's like it's like the new, like the new sheriff
- 22:33Speaker 2: in town. Like everyone knows that like this guy or
- 22:35Speaker 2: this tycoon is here just to take everything over, like
- 22:38Speaker 2: they know, like that's all they want to do is
- 22:39Speaker 2: take it all. And Paramount is the favorite to get it.
- 22:43Speaker 2: But then the other two are Comcasts and of course
- 22:46Speaker 2: everyone's favorite Netflix, oh god, and supposedly, like I don't
- 22:55Speaker 2: know what uh not Comcast Warner brother current stock was
- 23:03Speaker 2: but at one point they offered to pay twenty three
- 23:06Speaker 2: dollars a Paramount offered to pay twenty three dollars to
- 23:08Speaker 2: fifty cents for every stock in order to buy it,
- 23:11Speaker 2: and apparently that was like way more than what the
- 23:12Speaker 2: stock actually was at the time. And now they're saying
- 23:15Speaker 2: the socks it's at least gonna be a sixty billion
- 23:16Speaker 2: dollars deal, and just the library with Warner Brothers. It
- 23:20Speaker 2: doesn't not even not even just the the HBO stuff
- 23:23Speaker 2: like the Sopranos or Game of Thrones. You also got,
- 23:29Speaker 2: uh the Harry Potter franchise, you got the DC franchise
- 23:35Speaker 2: with Batman, Superman. The list goes on and on and
- 23:39Speaker 2: plus that the Warner Brothers is one of those libraries
- 23:41Speaker 2: where when you were getting that library, you were getting
- 23:45Speaker 2: one of the uh you can it's the only think
- 23:48Speaker 2: you discussed it one of the mount Rushmoores intent in
- 23:51Speaker 2: terms of libraries of films that they or content that
- 23:55Speaker 2: they have produced over the last hundred years. And why
- 24:01Speaker 2: I'm kind of nervous about it is for one or
- 24:05Speaker 2: obviously because like I said, I'm trying to get into
- 24:06Speaker 2: the voice acting business. But it's also one of those
- 24:09Speaker 2: things where it's like when someone buys this you if
- 24:12Speaker 2: you if you study any of these companies, you kind
- 24:16Speaker 2: of can see where they're going. But the same time,
- 24:22Speaker 2: is what are they going to do with all that
- 24:26Speaker 2: stuff that they acquire? Are they going to try to
- 24:28Speaker 2: expand it? Are they just going to try to just
- 24:31Speaker 2: post it on one of their stream platforms and never
- 24:33Speaker 2: touch it again. Are they just gonna let some of
- 24:35Speaker 2: the stuff sit in the back burner, like some other
- 24:37Speaker 2: big companies have had when they acquire some studios. For example,
- 24:43Speaker 2: like I camera, I don't have the notes in front
- 24:45Speaker 2: of me. I do apologize, let me FO do it. No.
- 24:49Speaker 2: So for example, uh, if let's say I don't know, like,
- 24:57Speaker 2: there's the rumor that like some of these. So essentially
- 25:00Speaker 2: let's go like this. You have Warner Brothers. You have
- 25:03Speaker 2: the movies Warner Brothers, you have the TV, you have
- 25:05Speaker 2: the HBO, you have TNT, you have TBS. Okay, so
- 25:13Speaker 2: essentially those are your four major things that Warner Brothers has,
- 25:17Speaker 2: movie studio, the big TV channel that not everyone can get,
- 25:22Speaker 2: but it's the one thing that everyone tries to get.
- 25:25Speaker 2: And you have your two stations that everyone pretty much
- 25:27Speaker 2: gets with cable. But of course K is not with
- 25:29Speaker 2: you anymore. Suppose we have a lot of these places.
- 25:31Speaker 2: They don't even want the TNT, TBS. They just want
- 25:34Speaker 2: the movies in HBO because HBO is the gold standard
- 25:37Speaker 2: of television. But if you're Warner Brothers, you're like, look,
- 25:40Speaker 2: we don't want this other thing just sitting here. So
- 25:42Speaker 2: there's rumors that like and again, suppose the one thing
- 25:45Speaker 2: they've actually announced is that by the end of Q
- 25:49Speaker 2: two they're actually going to split apart the TV stuff
- 25:54Speaker 2: from HBO and Warner Brothers and create two different companies.
- 25:57Speaker 2: On last there's a sale buying. All the notes say
- 26:01Speaker 2: there's gonna be a sale the next couple of weeks.
- 26:05Speaker 2: So the question is what happens with all that. And
- 26:09Speaker 2: for me, honestly, if I had a dog in the fight,
- 26:12Speaker 2: I would prefer Comcast Universal to get it, only because
- 26:20Speaker 2: people don't realize how much money Comcasts NBC Universal. They don't.
- 26:24Speaker 2: People don't realize how much money they really have. But
- 26:27Speaker 2: one thing I can say, just as a casual outside viewer,
- 26:31Speaker 2: is that they still do the things like put movies
- 26:34Speaker 2: in theaters. They still do things like putting movies on
- 26:37Speaker 2: not only their or excuse me, shows on letting their
- 26:39Speaker 2: stream platforms, but on their television shows or television programs
- 26:43Speaker 2: whether excuse me. And I think that's what It's very
- 26:46Speaker 2: important right now, especially in an age where and I
- 26:49Speaker 2: enjoyed Netflix as much as the next person. But I'll
- 26:53Speaker 2: be the first to say this too. I think their
- 26:56Speaker 2: marketing in terms of what they have available is not great.
- 27:00Speaker 2: The problem with Netflix is they don't like theaters. I
- 27:04Speaker 2: don't thin they've ever said that, But the bread is
- 27:06Speaker 2: in the pudding. They literally don't put some of their
- 27:10Speaker 2: big releases they have on Netflix in theaters. I haven't
- 27:14Speaker 2: seen the new glass Onon movie, but Al Knives Out movie.
- 27:18Speaker 2: But like, I really enjoyed the first one, and it
- 27:22Speaker 2: made a lot of fucking money. Wasn't with Netflix, but
- 27:26Speaker 2: it made a lot of money. Second one, I think,
- 27:28Speaker 2: I don't even know if it was in theaters. The
- 27:30Speaker 2: third one, I think it's gonna be. I think it
- 27:32Speaker 2: came out in theaters for like a week or two.
- 27:36Speaker 2: You can have movies stay in theaters and make a
- 27:39Speaker 2: lot of money. Theaters right now are desperate for movies
- 27:44Speaker 2: to stay more than just forty five days now. Of course,
- 27:47Speaker 2: like yeah, like that happens because you gotta they understandably
- 27:50Speaker 2: so of the studios, they want their movie in theater,
- 27:52Speaker 2: and the second it doesn't, it starts to die down.
- 27:55Speaker 2: You put it on streaming while it's fresh, and then
- 27:57Speaker 2: you get that ad revenue. I get that, But like,
- 28:00Speaker 2: you can have some movies stay in theaters for a
- 28:02Speaker 2: long time and make a lot of money. Movies like
- 28:04Speaker 2: Avatar movies like Avengers. No, they don't all have to
- 28:07Speaker 2: be your big giant, mega blockbuster conglomerates to state to
- 28:11Speaker 2: do that. For example, yeah, it's a franchise movie, but
- 28:16Speaker 2: like the recent Conjuring movie, made a lot of fucking
- 28:19Speaker 2: money and it was in theater for a little bit
- 28:22Speaker 2: longer than most people thought it was going to be,
- 28:25Speaker 2: but it's still made a lot of freaking money. You
- 28:28Speaker 2: can keep movies in theaters, but again you have to
- 28:35Speaker 2: the theaters have to limit to what screens get what
- 28:37Speaker 2: movies and stuff like that too. But it's also yeah,
- 28:39Speaker 2: they also gotta figure out what's froun And don't get
- 28:40Speaker 2: me starting the movie theaters. Like, I love going to
- 28:42Speaker 2: movie theaters. I really enjoy it. I love the ambiance.
- 28:46Speaker 2: I love the new seats they have, the recliners, the trailers,
- 28:50Speaker 2: I love the popcorn. I love the snacks. But again,
- 28:54Speaker 2: and this is where the problem and now we're going
- 28:56Speaker 2: to the issue with movie theaters. When the snacks and
- 28:58Speaker 2: the drinks cost more than a movie ticket themselves, that's
- 29:02Speaker 2: a problem. And yes, spoiler alert, movie theaters don't make
- 29:06Speaker 2: a lot of money off the box office. They make
- 29:08Speaker 2: the majority of their money off of the other things
- 29:10Speaker 2: like the snacks, the popcorn, the sodas, the the it
- 29:16Speaker 2: can't even see the toys and the popcorn buckets because
- 29:18Speaker 2: obviously those are licensed, like the studios get part of
- 29:21Speaker 2: that too. But again, when it costs, I'm sorry. When
- 29:26Speaker 2: I go to a movie theater, okay, and they have,
- 29:30Speaker 2: like you like your fast food restaurant, Hi, what would
- 29:32Speaker 2: you like? Would like a number one? Yes, I would
- 29:34Speaker 2: like a number one? Okay, that'll be this. When I
- 29:37Speaker 2: go to a movie theater and a number one, Wt'll
- 29:39Speaker 2: say it's just a medium size or large pop I
- 29:42Speaker 2: will say it's a large popcorn and two medium cokes.
- 29:46Speaker 2: Why in God's name does that shit cost twenty five dollars? No,
- 29:55Speaker 2: And again this is the problem that happens because again
- 29:57Speaker 2: it's the tears and yes, people's I still go to
- 30:00Speaker 2: the movie theaters, but like it a tier certain people way,
- 30:02Speaker 2: because again, people can't afford that shit anymore. It's stupid.
- 30:07Speaker 2: It's like, hum, I can go see the movie for
- 30:08Speaker 2: ten bucks or I it's like this, oh yeah, what
- 30:14Speaker 2: do I do? What do we do for the movie?
- 30:15Speaker 2: I'm just gonna go have dinner beforehand? Or unfortunately, what's
- 30:17Speaker 2: gonna most most probably most things happen now, people sneaking
- 30:21Speaker 2: snacks and food. There's a reason that there's a trender
- 30:24Speaker 2: where it's like you see people eating like whole rotissary
- 30:26Speaker 2: chickens in the movie theater because it's a joke, but
- 30:28Speaker 2: it's also true because the whole rotissary chicken costs less
- 30:32Speaker 2: than what your popcorn costs. And that's gotta stop, huh.
- 30:39Speaker 2: And also the trailer's gotta stop where. Hi? And for
- 30:43Speaker 2: those listening and for those that know, we know exactly
- 30:45Speaker 2: what I'm talking about. Hi, I'm I'm exactly who you're
- 30:49Speaker 2: thinking that I'm imitating. Not very good by mind you.
- 30:53Speaker 2: And no, I'm not trying to audition for anything voice
- 30:55Speaker 2: acting at this moment. But welcome to this theater. I
- 30:58Speaker 2: know that you have been now been watching There's for
- 31:00Speaker 2: twenty five minutes, but we really want you to come back.
- 31:02Speaker 2: So we're gonna play this advertisement for you to come
- 31:04Speaker 2: to our theaters, even though you've already been here probably
- 31:07Speaker 2: for half an hour. Yeah, like, no, stop that shit.
- 31:15Speaker 2: If anything, play play a trailer saying hey, last chance
- 31:18Speaker 2: to get a snack, that's fine, or hey, sign up
- 31:21Speaker 2: for our rewards. Program or sign up for our movie
- 31:26Speaker 2: past whatever, the thing where you come watch the movies
- 31:28Speaker 2: a month for one price. That's the trailer that you
- 31:30Speaker 2: should put the end of a fucking ad thing. Anyway, Sorry,
- 31:34Speaker 2: getting back to the point, Stop rambling, Chuck, But yeah,
- 31:39Speaker 2: I this is it's it's also because, like I said,
- 31:42Speaker 2: because like the more and more these studios start to
- 31:44Speaker 2: acquire one another, it's not essentially, it's the less work
- 31:48Speaker 2: that's gonna be available, not just for actors, but for producers, directors,
- 31:53Speaker 2: crew gaffers, key grippers, lighting people, all that shit. It
- 31:58Speaker 2: just makes it harder on everybody.
- 32:01Speaker 1: And it.
- 32:05Speaker 2: And again it's just the nature of the beast, that's what.
- 32:07Speaker 2: And again people go, oh, it's not fair, like it's like, again,
- 32:10Speaker 2: this is the way of life. You're a business. What
- 32:13Speaker 2: is the goal of any business to make money? Not
- 32:17Speaker 2: to make everyone smile? Make money? Fuck you give me money,
- 32:22Speaker 2: as a famous YouTuber says, And that's what they gotta do.
- 32:26Speaker 2: And that's fine, that's life. But it's just at the
- 32:28Speaker 2: same time, it doesn't mean we can't have our worries
- 32:30Speaker 2: and concerns about it, because that's just natural to have that.
- 32:34Speaker 2: But in my opinion. I think I would. I'm personally hope.
- 32:37Speaker 2: And again I don't know what Paramount would do with it.
- 32:39Speaker 2: I don't but reading about stuff and just some stuff
- 32:44Speaker 2: that I'm aware of, I know comcasts Universal is very
- 32:47Speaker 2: good about, like I said, about putting movies on different platforms,
- 32:50Speaker 2: kind of like sharing the love a little bit with
- 32:52Speaker 2: other streaming plat fighters. So you know, let's say you
- 32:55Speaker 2: have let's obviously, let's say conc case Universal. You know
- 32:58Speaker 2: they buy it. Let's se hypothetically they buy Universe, Warner Brothers, Discovery,
- 33:02Speaker 2: they get HBO, they cancel Peacock, they just make HBO,
- 33:05Speaker 2: they cancel the cock. Okay, now it's just HBO, oh
- 33:10Speaker 2: HBO cock or p P cock p HBO cock cock.
- 33:14Speaker 2: But it's just one of those things. Okay. And you're
- 33:19Speaker 2: gonna have all your shows on there. You're gonna have
- 33:21Speaker 2: your streaming shows, maybe you have some you have some
- 33:23Speaker 2: sports package, you have some shows on there too. Okay, great, Uh,
- 33:27Speaker 2: we're gonna lot. We're gonna have all the Batman movies
- 33:32Speaker 2: go on Netflix for three months. Oh wow, cool, I
- 33:34Speaker 2: have Netflix. I get to watch Batman. All cool? Isn't that?
- 33:37Speaker 2: But one thing that Warner Brothers and I have I
- 33:40Speaker 2: actually and I can vouch for this because I have
- 33:41Speaker 2: one of them. They're very good about physical media. I'm
- 33:47Speaker 2: on the giant mark for physical media. I get. I
- 33:52Speaker 2: get the resurgence in it with the uncertainty of where
- 33:55Speaker 2: shows and movies are going lately. You know, you be, you'll,
- 33:59Speaker 2: you'll have this favorite show or movie you always watch
- 34:02Speaker 2: on your streaming platform. Then one day you go search
- 34:04Speaker 2: for it, and now it doesn't even come up. It
- 34:05Speaker 2: just goes titles similar to your search or search not phoned,
- 34:10Speaker 2: Please try again, you know, And that's why physical media
- 34:14Speaker 2: is becomeing. Okay, I have this. My Pop's got me
- 34:18Speaker 2: this years ago. It's his Wonder Brothers like one hundred
- 34:22Speaker 2: year anniversary DVD box that it's like all these movies
- 34:25Speaker 2: from different decades and it's really badass, and it's got
- 34:27Speaker 2: all the Lord of the All, the Lord of the Rings,
- 34:30Speaker 2: Wizard of Oz, the Dark Night, like, it's like a
- 34:33Speaker 2: bunch of movies in like one box, and it's great.
- 34:36Speaker 2: And they're very apparently from my read, they're very good
- 34:38Speaker 2: about like putting some of their most famous titles and
- 34:42Speaker 2: favorite things out on DVDs. Four K's and all that stuff,
- 34:47Speaker 2: which is good because I honestly couldn't tell you if,
- 34:51Speaker 2: for example, I don't know this, it probably is because
- 34:54Speaker 2: they make money if they do it. But like I
- 34:57Speaker 2: don't know if Netflix puts Stranger Things out on Blu
- 35:00Speaker 2: ray or DVD, I couldn't tell you. I can tell
- 35:06Speaker 2: you for certain that Warner Brothers does it. I can
- 35:08Speaker 2: tell you for certain that Disney does it. I guarantee
- 35:12Speaker 2: you Paramount probably does it too. But Netflix, I couldn't
- 35:15Speaker 2: tell you. And I'm not gonna say Netflix is all bad.
- 35:18Speaker 2: Like I said, I enjoy a lot of their programming.
- 35:20Speaker 2: I enjoy obviously Monday Night Raw. I enjoy a lot
- 35:23Speaker 2: of other comedy specials. I actually think they have a
- 35:26Speaker 2: very underrated horror package. But the problem is there's a
- 35:31Speaker 2: lot of There's so much stuff on there. They don't
- 35:34Speaker 2: promote it, so whenever a show takes off, it's usually
- 35:38Speaker 2: not by their own accord, it's by word of mouth,
- 35:41Speaker 2: which is good because obviously that you won't because then
- 35:44Speaker 2: you thought you have to spend a dime. You have
- 35:47Speaker 2: other people doing the marketing for you. But the problem
- 35:50Speaker 2: is so much stuff on Netflix. Again, the second you
- 35:56Speaker 2: watch it. It's like okay, great, and then it's like
- 35:58Speaker 2: it's gone because they put everything out at once, and
- 36:01Speaker 2: it's like there's like no. That's why I love the
- 36:03Speaker 2: way that like again, oh you're a mark for Disney. No,
- 36:06Speaker 2: that's why I like to like the way, like like
- 36:07Speaker 2: in the lot put I think Disney is on the
- 36:09Speaker 2: first ones to do this, like how they do it.
- 36:11Speaker 2: They don't put everything out at once. They spread it out.
- 36:13Speaker 2: They put one episode out one week and then then
- 36:15Speaker 2: the following week it's a new episode. Same with HBO.
- 36:19Speaker 2: HBO is doing obviously they were doing all television shows.
- 36:21Speaker 2: HBO sall do this. Like with Penguin, they put it out,
- 36:24Speaker 2: Came of Thrones, they put it out. Okay, now you
- 36:26Speaker 2: wait till next week? A shit, they gotta wait a week? Yeah, sorry,
- 36:30Speaker 2: you can't binge watch the whole show. A good friend
- 36:33Speaker 2: of the show, Joe, he's come on here a couple
- 36:34Speaker 2: of times. He will not watch a show until it
- 36:37Speaker 2: comes until the whole thing is ready to be streamed.
- 36:41Speaker 2: I'm like, you are a lot more patient than I
- 36:45Speaker 2: because I, especially with the stuff I like him into
- 36:49Speaker 2: and like read about, I would not be able to
- 36:50Speaker 2: avoid spoilers. So but yeah, I I personally I'm leaning
- 36:59Speaker 2: towards Comcast. You never so only because I think if
- 37:02Speaker 2: you just look at the fact, not mean the facts,
- 37:05Speaker 2: you look at everything that the current studios have done
- 37:09Speaker 2: before this sale was even known about, in terms of
- 37:14Speaker 2: like how they handle sorry, in terms of how they
- 37:17Speaker 2: handle their properties they're streaming. I just would lean but
- 37:24Speaker 2: to play Devil's advocate. Paramount is under new leadership, so
- 37:28Speaker 2: who knows how that's gonna go. Nobody knows. I believe
- 37:33Speaker 2: I read somewhere that if Paramount buys them, the current
- 37:37Speaker 2: CEO of C of Warner Brothers Discovery, they would want
- 37:40Speaker 2: him to stay on as a co CEO, Which that's
- 37:46Speaker 2: a pretty good That sounds like a pretty good I mean,
- 37:48Speaker 2: I think Paramount's the favorite to win because now I
- 37:51Speaker 2: believe there's a different like investment firms like one from
- 37:55Speaker 2: Saudi Arabia involved with Paramount now, and like that's gonna
- 37:58Speaker 2: be a thing. You'rena be hearing a lot more going
- 38:00Speaker 2: around now with business deals. Is investment groups from like
- 38:04Speaker 2: Saudi Arabia or Dubai getting involved too, because again, there's
- 38:07Speaker 2: a lot of money to be made with these movies
- 38:08Speaker 2: or television. There's a lot of fucking money. A lot. God,
- 38:12Speaker 2: why am I so gassy my stomach not like farts. Sorry,
- 38:16Speaker 2: it's just like burps. AnyWho great audio. But yeah, that's
- 38:25Speaker 2: my honest opinion. And then there's the other rumor like
- 38:29Speaker 2: that they might not they might not just sell. They
- 38:32Speaker 2: might go through waiting until they're able to break off
- 38:35Speaker 2: the UH Film Studio and HBO from the all all
- 38:39Speaker 2: the other assets to create separate companies and then try
- 38:41Speaker 2: to sell each of those individually. I don't think they're
- 38:45Speaker 2: going to because I think like a paramount or universe
- 38:50Speaker 2: Complications versal is gonna come in with an offer they
- 38:53Speaker 2: can't refuse because again, they don't want to wait. They
- 38:56Speaker 2: want to get this done. Because it's also one of
- 38:58Speaker 2: those things where, let's say, again Warner Brothers a couple
- 39:00Speaker 2: of years ago, even though they just got bought by Discovery,
- 39:05Speaker 2: you wouldn't think they were gonna be selling a couple
- 39:07Speaker 2: of years. I think they literally had them for maybe
- 39:10Speaker 2: three years, maybe four. But again, their value has exceptionally
- 39:19Speaker 2: increased in the last couple of years because of all
- 39:22Speaker 2: the very good business decisions they've made, and that a
- 39:24Speaker 2: lot of part of the content they released, not just
- 39:27Speaker 2: an HBO but stuff in the theaters they broke. I
- 39:29Speaker 2: can't remember the exact record, but it's think it's like
- 39:32Speaker 2: in this Year of a Loon, they've had six straight
- 39:34Speaker 2: releases where they were uh number one that weekend for
- 39:38Speaker 2: like forty minutes. It's like like one of those like,
- 39:39Speaker 2: you know, crazy stats. You're here doing a football gay
- 39:42Speaker 2: like this is the only player to ever throw for
- 39:46Speaker 2: five touchdowns while wearing an arm sling and a coconut
- 39:51Speaker 2: head or some shit, but like it's one of those
- 39:53Speaker 2: weird stats. But it's like you hear it, You're like, wow,
- 39:56Speaker 2: that's cool, that's impressive. Oh the fuck found that one.
- 40:01Speaker 2: Like it's just stuff like that, But they've done that
- 40:06Speaker 2: after a couple of years ago people thought they were
- 40:08Speaker 2: dead because of how bad the AT and T stuff went,
- 40:14Speaker 2: and then that obviously they involved with like other and
- 40:16Speaker 2: it wasn't just like the DC Snyder ver st up,
- 40:18Speaker 2: but there's other things too where it's just like what
- 40:20Speaker 2: are they doing? But yeah, it's commuterest to see what
- 40:25Speaker 2: happens with that and also do like another like I
- 40:28Speaker 2: haven't been there in twenty years, like Concas Universal, Like
- 40:30Speaker 2: they got the Parks too, and they got Harry Potter
- 40:32Speaker 2: and then hell you buy that. You figure out your
- 40:34Speaker 2: weird thing with six flags and six flags as DC,
- 40:37Speaker 2: but you get the Batman shit there too. Like there's again,
- 40:42Speaker 2: whoever gets them is going to make a lot of
- 40:44Speaker 2: money case in point. So yeah, it'll be interesting to
- 40:52Speaker 2: see how that goes. AnyWho, that's really all I got.
- 40:59Speaker 2: Eleven eleven anyway to bed. I have to wake up
- 41:02Speaker 2: early tomorrow because I have a new shift now, so
- 41:05Speaker 2: I wake up, wake up earlier. I started earlier, earlier.
