Jerry Jones Vs. Vince McMahon, Sketch & Good Storytelling - #90 · The Grounded Show

0:00
Yeah, I saw a random clip from the podcast. That's what's his name,
0:05
Sketch, You said, sketch. Yeah, yeah, Sketch. He
0:07
did with THEOV and he said that he was born without a kidney and something
0:12
else. Yeah, he doesn't have an appendix, he doesn't have a kidney.
0:16
But what were you saying? Uh, that he has this certain character
0:20
and a certain persona that's so unique. But it's so it's so funny and
0:24
it's so not normal that everybody automatically assumes he's on the spectrum. He has
0:29
autism. He has some kind of problem with him. And it sucks because
0:34
it's like, oh, he does he just has a tick. He does
0:37
his things with his hand and he does his things with his eyes. And
0:39
I know a lot of people in my life who do who have certain ticks
0:44
too, And I wonder how it feels like to get questioned. Right at
0:49
the end of the Yvonne episode, he asked, he's like so, or
0:52
like, so you're like autistic. He's like, He's like, no,
0:55
bro, He's like, I'm just a regular dude. He's like, I'm
0:58
just a regular dude. I have, you know, my little tish and
1:00
I keep my hands with me when I'm nervous, but he's like, it's
1:03
pretty much it. Yeah. It's funny because when I was younger, I
1:07
didn't start smoking until I was like twenty five or something, you know,
1:11
I mean I started super late, and I didn't even try it before then,
1:15
you know what I mean. It wasn't even like I did it here
1:17
and there, but like nothing, like I tried it for the first time.
1:19
I was like twenty five, twenty six, and before that, you
1:23
know how, I'd be like super random. People just didn't believe me that
1:26
I didn't smoke, you know what I mean. They're like, there's just
1:29
no way that you're just saying things like that and you're sober, and it's
1:33
like, nah, it's just the way my brain works. I just say
1:34
crazy things, random toimes, like just how it goes. Yeah, And
1:40
I was the same way. I posted a video my boy passed away who
1:44
was cutting my hair, and I was seeing the random shit, and like,
1:48
once me and my wife got super close, I opened that side of
1:51
me. I just seen the most random shit ever. So when you saw
1:53
the video, she's like, yeah, that's really you, Like you really
1:57
are that person. I was like yeah, and I noticed that about you.
2:00
And that's why, like it's so to me, that's normal to me
2:04
when I hear you just say those random things, like I get them.
2:07
That's not me and Gary are like just the random ist shit just come out.
2:12
Yeah. Man, it's funny because I don't even know where I was
2:15
going with that, but yeah, that's that's a funny thing where people have
2:21
like little quirks and just different things about them and it always has to be
2:28
labeled, you know what I mean. Oh yeah, it's like we're all
2:30
we're all unique, we're all individuals. Like people aren't going to be the
2:34
same. People are going to process things differently, people's minds are gonna work
2:38
differently. I'm not too big into everything has to fall into a certain box
2:42
or like you know, oh go get checked out to see if you got
2:46
X, Y and Z. It's like, you know, I know that
2:49
I have quirks. I know other people have quirks. I don't let things
2:53
like that affect me being you know, productive in my day or anything like
2:59
that. I don't know. I just don't even think that that's an issue
3:01
really, And that was a good message. I think that was an overall
3:06
message from that Sketch podcast with THEO that he was like he tried to hide
3:13
that for so long and then once he just let it go, that's when
3:19
he blew up. But if you look at any comments in these video like
3:22
oh that dude's so dope for an autism, I love that, it's like,
3:25
there's nothing to do with autism, that's just his personality. You can
3:30
have that personality. Does he have to be labeled something as does have to
3:34
mean somethings? Uh not right with you? And he's like, once he
3:39
let himself go, he realized like I can be myself and people are gonna
3:44
enjoy it. And he's a fucking funny dude. Man. Yeah, I'm
3:49
definitely gonna check it out. Like I said, I did notice that I
3:52
had seen some of his clips on TikTok of him playing Madden and stuff like
3:55
that, so I was kind of familiar with him just from those random clips.
4:00
Afinal'ly gonna check him out and check out that interview too. I usually
4:02
like the theovon interviews. Yeah, I was getting big man. I want
4:09
to I definitely want to catch one of his life show. I need to
4:11
do that. Ye like shows in Australia and London. It's just good to
4:15
see and like, I'm a big MTV The Challenge fan, Like we watch
4:18
that ship every week. We watched every single season, and I forgot like
4:23
he was on that one of the Amazons. Yeah, and we see the
4:27
clips. I was like, damn, like deal was on The Challenge.
4:29
That's crazy. He's in that new Johnny Knoxville movie too, Jackass. No,
4:34
there's like I forgot exactly what it is. I think it's something about
4:39
addiction or something like that. It's kind of like a comedy, but it's
4:45
a little dramatic too. Bobby Lee's in it. I just heard, Oh
4:47
wow, now I need to hear about this. That's crazy. Johnny Knoxville
4:53
was just on Bobby Lee's podcast. It was pretty dope too, okay,
4:57
because he was even talking about like his little quirks and stuff like that,
5:00
and the way that he is like around other people and just how he is
5:04
meeting people and things like that. And I found that interesting too, and
5:08
it kind of ties into what we talk about where it's just like, man,
5:10
everybody just got their little things. I feel like that's the best way
5:14
to just be around people as far as like how to act like just understanding
5:18
that people do different stuff, you know what I mean. I usually I
5:23
always notice that I don't like hanging out with people that want everybody to be
5:28
on their exact vibe all the time, move exactly how they want to move,
5:32
you know what I'm saying, Like everybody got to be in tune the
5:34
whole time. Like, nah, bro Like that's why I like even like
5:38
when I get togethers, everybody's just doing whatever, you know what I mean.
5:42
Some people are over there, some people are in this room, some
5:45
people are in the backyard. Like everybody's just doing whatever they feel is like
5:48
their vibe. And I'm just letting everybody chill because I just hate when you're
5:53
at a party or something, everybody's trying to make you do stuff. It's
5:56
like, broan, we hate chill, you know what I mean exactly.
5:58
And that's what I'm a big group of people, right. I'll bring the
6:02
most random people that I know just because I know they'd have a good time.
6:09
I bring people together, but I tell them just be yourself, Like
6:12
just be yourself, just do just be who you are. You're not forced
6:17
to do every single thing the whole crowd is doing. There's certain times where
6:20
I'm not doing what the crowd is doing, and I'm usually part of that
6:24
crowd. Like you have to learn to just be yourself and not try to
6:27
fit in every single place you're at, Like you can be yourself, especially
6:32
when you're at an age like when you're hitting your thirties and forties, Like,
6:36
be true to yourself and you can still be in a place. Like
6:39
I let people be who they are when they come around, Like every single
6:42
person I invite around, Like, just do what you do, Like,
6:45
oh, should I do this? Just do what you do? Bro be
6:47
you. Yeah. I feel like people sometimes be so zoomed in to other
6:51
people, and I'm a victim of it too, Like, especially as an
6:55
artist, seeing what other people doing or being like dangn I want to do
6:58
something that looks like that orthing like that, not realizing that just the fact
7:02
that you're doing something that makes you unique because you doing it is what the
7:08
unique part is. So everybody, whatever they do, they're gonna have their
7:12
spin on it just because they're themselves. But we don't really think like that
7:15
because we don't consider like a lot of most people don't really consider themselves like
7:18
super cool or you know, have that kind of image of them, like,
7:23
oh, man, I'm the shit. So they're not gonna look at
7:26
it like, oh, when I do something, it's gonna be dope in
7:28
this way or whatever. I'm not gonna lie I that was I consider that
7:32
flaw of mine as well. I spend a long part of my life saying,
7:36
oh, these are things that people do. I need to do this
7:41
more to fit in, to the point where I finally reach the place where
7:45
I'm like, nah, I'm just I'm just mean, bro, I don't
7:47
this is how I do it like you guys do things this way. This
7:50
is how I do it, and we could talk about it or we don't.
7:54
Either way, I'm still gonna do things the way I do. I'm
7:56
still gonna listen to things the way I do, watch things the way I
7:59
do, like things the way I do, and I don't need to do
8:03
it like a crowd does just to feel like I fit in. We have
8:07
conversations about it at the end of the day. Okay, maybe this is
8:09
not what I talk to people about in certain groups. You know. It's
8:11
like it took a long time for me to learn that, and I'm glad
8:16
that's where I'm at now. I am who I am. I like what
8:18
I like, I do what I do the way I do it, and
8:20
there's nobody who can influence that anymore except for myself. Yep. It's just
8:26
you just got to do your own thing and make sure that you're not doing
8:30
anything to her, others or whatever. It sounds corny, but really is
8:33
what it's all about, is just enjoying yourself to the best of your ability
8:37
without impeding on other people's lives or their fun or whatever the case is.
8:41
And that's the main point. If it's not affecting anybody else, doesn't matter
8:46
to me what I like and what I do and how I do things.
8:50
If it doesn't affect you, your opinion does not matter exactly. Well,
8:54
yeah, man, I had a random little thought earlier, just hearing about
9:01
Jerry Jones again with the draft coming up and some of the stuff that he's
9:05
been talking about as far as you know, the little chess game he's playing
9:09
with Dak Prescott with the contract and saying that he's always paid a premium to
9:13
put the best talent around him, but now if he's gonna pay Dak,
9:18
he's not gonna be able to pay that premium to put the best talent around
9:20
him. So the you know, the team and the focus is gonna shift.
9:24
And a lot of people were just saying how Jerry Jones gets in his
9:30
own way, and the Cowboys don't really have an issue as far as talent
9:35
coaching. You know, the staff just up and down in the organization.
9:39
Really what's holding them back is Jerry Jones, you know what I mean.
9:43
And the fact that I think Steven A. Smith was saying that Jerry Jones
9:46
ain't gonna fire himself. So as long as Jerry Jones there, it ain't
9:50
gonna happen. Like they're gonna be in that same boat. And I don't
9:54
know why. Go ahead, go ahead, no, no, no,
9:58
finish it though, but I was say, I don't know why. It
10:01
just made me think of Vince McMahon, and it started making me draw these
10:07
parallels between them, and it's kind of crazy how it works. Like,
10:11
for example, the reason why I thought of Vince McMahon is because Vince McMahon
10:16
ended up having to sell the WW because of a scandal or whatever. But
10:20
even before that, he had been heavily scrutinized and their business had gone down,
10:26
you know, things weren't going as well as they had in the past
10:31
because he was really stuck in his old ways. He wanted to do things
10:35
in his vision. Not understanding, Bro, you a seventy something year old
10:37
dude, you not tapped into what people like. Bro like you was born
10:41
in nineteen forty something, you are not getting over exactly, And he didn't
10:46
want to let that go, and the company suffered for a lot of years,
10:50
you know what I'm saying, Like fans will tell you, it was
10:52
like a good ten years where you know, and even the numbers, the
10:56
viewership, all of that reflected it. Their numbers were down bad, like
11:00
all Tom Lowe's in that time frame. And you think about Jerry Jones,
11:05
you know, last ten years, last twenty years or whatever, the Cowboys
11:09
haven't done anything. And he's the one making the decisions. He's the one
11:13
that has the final say and everything. So you're the one that's messing it
11:18
up. Bro. You could change all the pieces all you want, but
11:20
at the end of the day, you're the one messing it up. And
11:24
it's funny how they had like a similar rise even like they both kind of
11:28
peaked in the nineties. You know what, I'm saying the Cowboys had those
11:33
nineties teams, you know, Troy Aikman and Miss Smith. You know,
11:35
they were just you know, killing stuff. You had the WWF at the
11:43
time. You know, in the nineties they had Stone Cold, they had
11:45
the rock they were killing stuff at the time. They both kind of had
11:48
those peaks where it was like Super Bowls and you know, the rocking,
11:52
Stone Cold WrestleMania, all that vibe, crossover appeal, and then after that
11:58
it just dipped. Neither of them reach those heights ever again, you know
12:03
what I'm saying, And both of them have that same correlation where they just
12:07
didn't know when to pass the torch and say, let me let this next
12:11
generation lead into some more success, you know what I mean. Yeah,
12:16
And I feel that's a big part of a lot of organizations in general.
12:22
It's that when you have someone at the helm who's been doing business the way
12:28
they did business fifty six years ago and had to be that long, you
12:33
know what I mean. But business today and the world we're at today with
12:37
social media and the interaction of the fan base and the direct feedback you can
12:43
get from a fan base, how they feel that's part of business now yep.
12:48
And I feel like dudes like Basic Man, dudes like Jerry Jones,
12:52
I think they never took into consideration the feedback from the fans. Yep,
12:58
And I think that's made Vincent Man was actually known for having like a saying
13:05
where it was like, I'll tell them what to think speaking about the audience,
13:09
you know what I mean. He thought he was just going to write
13:09
a story in a certain way and people were going to boo and cheer in
13:13
spots because he's just that good when you know, things haven't been like that
13:18
in a long time over there, you know what I'm saying. Same thing
13:22
with Jerry Jones. He's doing all these interviews and talking about his thought process
13:26
behind these moves and X Y and Z. Bro. You're a great businessman.
13:31
You're not a football guy, you know what I'm saying. You're not
13:35
a guy that's qualified. He's an owner, but he shouldn't be the GM
13:39
exactly. You don't got Mark Cuban. You know, Mark Cuban is the
13:41
same. It's funny he was in Dallas too, but Mark Cuban got the
13:45
same kind of like charismatic way. You know, he's in the media.
13:48
He likes to talk and stuff like that, but he's not trying to be
13:52
part of the x's and o's. He knows that that that's not what he's
13:54
there for. That's where Jerry Jones doesn't have that filtered and understand like,
14:01
bro, Like there's a certain part you don't cross over into, like you
14:03
want to freaking college and you know NCAA championship back in like nineteen sixty or
14:09
something like that, and you didn't even play in the NFL, Like you
14:13
are not qualified for this, brother, Yeah. No, I mean there's
14:16
current things that you know, you deal with it in your day to day
14:20
in your current job today where you have someone higher up who thinks they have
14:24
the better ideas, even if the entire organization is telling them no, like
14:30
this is the way we should do things today. But they have the power
14:33
and they're not giving up that power. And I think that I never watched
14:37
a show Succession, but I think that was a big part of that show
14:41
is everybody wanted to drive the old dude out. And I think that's a
14:45
lot of what this generation is. It's like we need a younger mind state,
14:50
a new generation of way you think, in a way to do business,
14:54
incorporate what the people like. And you know who I think is doing
14:58
that. It's catching on. Finally, Dana White, Oh yeah, yeah,
15:05
I could definitely see that he was guilty of not paying the fighters,
15:11
not giving the shit about him. This whole thing came up and in the
15:15
last press conference before UFC three hundred, it was the crowded reporters in the
15:20
press conference, they said, oh, I forgot who it was. This
15:22
dude said you should raise the bonuses up for knockouts. And because I think
15:28
the bonus was like fifty thousand, He's like, Okay, fuck it,
15:31
we're raising the bonuses how much? And someone was like, oh, a
15:35
triple it. Well, they're like three hundred thousand. He's like three hundred
15:39
thousand. Done, three hundred thousand for knockouts, let's go. And it
15:41
was one of the best nights in UFC, BRO, And you see how
15:46
how the fights ended up because those fighters were hungry. Bro, fifty to
15:50
three hundred thousand, that's a big leap, and that's gonna make you put
15:54
on a different kind of performance, you know what I mean. And even
15:56
though the card wasn't a stock, even though there was a lot of previous
16:00
Champions. I believe it was some kind of number like nineteen or something like
16:03
that. Yeah, yeah, but it still wasn't the card that people expected
16:07
for how big of an event it is, you know what I'm saying.
16:11
But it lived up to the hype because of the fights and because UFC is
16:15
what it is, you know. And I think that with that event,
16:18
they bought themselves the audience for every event that comes up coming up now.
16:22
Bro. And the funny thing is to make the connection to WWE. UFC
16:26
and WWE are part of the same parent company and they're both doing crazy,
16:32
booming business right now because they got fresher, younger executives. They got guys
16:37
that you know, have been around for a while but are still young enough
16:41
with fresh ideas that are leading the way, and they took over from Vince
16:45
book Mann and the WWE, and ww's getting to a point where regular people
16:49
are watching it again, you know, not just wrestling fans. I'm keeping
16:52
them like crazy. Like I tell you, my wife is like, why
16:55
are you watching so much wrestling shit? Like it's bad? Yep, exactly,
16:59
it's bad. And with the way WrestleMania ended, you know, we're
17:02
still going to see what happens when Roman reigns decides to come back. You
17:06
know, the rock left on a little cliffhanger with Cody Rose. You don't
17:10
know if he's gonna come back soon. You know what I'm saying, There's
17:12
a lot to read. Ripley, Man, she's injured up. She had
17:15
for man, I'm kind of said about that. That's that's my dog right
17:18
there. Becky Lynch got the belt back. So that's the whole new random
17:22
wrinkle. It's it's it's crazy, man. And again that just goes to
17:26
show you that that, you know, injection of new ideas and fresh minds
17:33
looking at things, it's always gonna help. That's that's what gets you there,
17:37
you know what I'm saying. That's that's what gets you there, your
17:40
fresh ideas when you're at that time, Like you know what I'm saying,
17:42
I feel like just in general, bro, like people are so so so
17:48
selfish with their decisions, not understanding that you know, the ultimate piece doesn't
17:56
you know, doesn't come with like how do you say it? Like you
18:00
can't claim like ownership on it, or you can't like say like you know
18:06
what I mean, this is this is my thing, Like I made this.
18:08
You know, you can't boaster, be braggier, like too possessive about
18:11
it. That's what I'm looking for, the word like, you can't be
18:15
too possessive about being you know, at peace to the point where you're like
18:21
being greedy about it, you know what I'm saying. Like you want to
18:23
be the center of attention and you want to be the one that does everything
18:27
and gets all the credit, but you also want to be the little spiritual
18:30
one with the self reflection. And you know it doesn't work both ways,
18:37
you know what I mean. You can't be cutthroat and peaceful at the same
18:40
time. You know, there's a line there, and you got to understand
18:42
that you don't got to be the center of attention all the time. And
18:45
that's not even going to lead you down the road that that's going to be
18:49
something fruitful anyway, you know what I mean. And it sucks because you
18:53
think about these owners and the people at the Helm, and like the Cowboys
18:57
are worth almost ten bills dollars and you're really arguing about paying the players like
19:06
Ceedee Lamb, who was like one of the biggest wide receivers in the game
19:11
last year barely missed the game balled out, and you're and you don't want
19:17
to pay him because you don't want to set the standard for the highest paid
19:21
players so someone else can beat you, like set that standard. And the
19:25
funny little thing about that is that a lot of people don't even know about
19:30
is Jerry Jones had a big hand in the collective Bargaining Agreement that made the
19:37
salary cap and just made the structuring of the contracts the way it is.
19:41
He was a big component of that, so he likes to hide behind it
19:44
and he always wants to bring it up. Oh, you know, we
19:47
have a salary cap and X, Y and Z, this this and that.
19:49
Bro, that was you. What are you talking about? You try
19:52
to use the excuse of something that you put the limit that you put yourself.
19:56
That's your excuse. Come on, man, Yeah, yeah, no,
20:00
I think And I was trying to look it up but I can't find
20:04
it. But I think that's when Netflix is changing about their thing. They
20:08
used to they used to give shows three season contracts, but you had to
20:15
give them the three seasons up front, and they pushed those three seasons no
20:21
matter what, and the viewership was down because nobody liked the story, and
20:25
so that's why so many Netflix shows get canceled after three seasons. So they're
20:30
like, Okay, maybe we need to not do that, Maybe we need
20:32
to write a season, get the feedback, alter this next season, get
20:37
the feedback. And I think that's how HBO does it, and that's why
20:41
HBO shows last a lot longer than Netflix shows. So glad you said that,
20:44
because that's exactly where I was going. That's why for me, my
20:47
priority is always watching HBO show first, especially like off recommendations, I'm going
20:52
to watch an HBO show over anything ninety nine percent of the time because the
20:59
people that are running that studio, Man, they know what they're doing.
21:03
Bro. They're letting people create, they're letting you know, they're giving them
21:07
time. They're giving bro. These six season shows on HBO, Bro,
21:11
oh my gosh. And then and then when you think about it, the
21:15
great shows on Netflix six seasons, bro, you know Breaking Bad. Those
21:21
don't even Netflix produce shows. Yeah you're right, they were FX. Yeah,
21:26
yeah, so this show that you gotta stream on Netflix, But HBO
21:30
produced shows like Kurby Enthusiasm was always HBO. Yeah you know what I mean,
21:36
Like you can't you archarage always HBO yep, And I think that was
21:41
six Seasons as well. It was the same thing. It's it's the same
21:45
idea that we're talking about with you know the cal seasons. Yeah, come
21:51
on that they you gotta let the fresh ideas in and you gotta let them
21:55
do what they do. You know what. We gotta listen to the audience
21:56
feedback. That's important if you you just go on Reddit and see the feedback
22:02
and it's like damn the writing to be like, Yo, we fucked up're
22:06
fucked up. We need to change this shit. And even to bring up
22:10
Curb again. The dope thing about that was they actually just filmed that as
22:14
a special. It was just a one hour special, like a fake documentary
22:18
type thing where they were making it seem like Larry David was going to come
22:22
back to comedy, so it's like filming his big comeback, but it was
22:25
like documentary office style. This is like in two thousand, I feel like
22:30
a lot of people lifted a lot of that Curb vibe just based off of
22:34
that special because the special was real big at the time. But the special
22:38
being big is what led to the show. After the special came out,
22:41
they were like, Yo, we should do a show with this, you
22:42
know what I mean. There it goes curb your enthusiasm. Man, that's
22:45
the same like premise of Ontology. It was like you had a story about
22:51
a person where that person was real or not, but then you had real
22:53
life actors playing themselves in fictional stories like a documentary. And it's just like
23:00
such a crazy concept that was so easy to mix and if you got if
23:04
you could click on that or that's comedy, some of the best comedy ever.
23:10
I will say this, Man, I'm a big fan of Entourage,
23:12
but probably out of all the HBO shows, it's probably my least favorite,
23:18
which it still puts it really high up, so it's not really a dis
23:22
honestly, But the reason why I rank it the lowest is because I feel
23:27
like there was never any real dilemmas, you know what I mean, Like
23:33
they never really got to that point where it was like a real storyline,
23:37
like something like oh my gosh. You know, they kind of danced with
23:41
it a little bit when Vince started going down and losing roles and stuff,
23:45
but it never got like, you know, we never got that moment of
23:48
like, oh, man, like the show just got real. Like I
23:51
feel like it just never got I don't think it ever reached it. But
23:55
I think it's because it was it was loosely based off stories. So where
24:00
you put Sopranos at Sopranos is up there, man, Sopranos is I haven't
24:06
watched that, bron Yeah, you got to check it out. It's it's
24:08
a It's a super dope concept. The reason, one of the reasons why
24:12
I like it so much is because, like you, one of the things
24:15
that made me hesitant to watch it in the very beginning, like to get
24:19
into it was was like, you know, I'm big on like gangster movies
24:23
and stuff like that, and at the time I was just gangstered out,
24:26
you know what I mean, Like, Bro, I don't I don't need
24:30
more gangster stuff right now, you know what I'm saying. You know what?
24:33
The number one ranked HBO show Tomatoes is number one ranked HBO show Tomatoes
24:41
on Ronning Tomatoes. Let me let me take a stab at it. What
24:45
do you always tell us to watch? Not the Larry Sanders Show. Number
24:51
one is the Larry Sanders Show. Wow Toto number one ranked HBO show.
24:56
That's crazy. I wouldn't. I honestly wouldn't have expected that at all.
25:00
Bro, Yeah, I wouldn't have expected that at all. I think.
25:03
I think it's it's like that's like a reverence play where they're giving homage to
25:07
how much that show influenced things, you know what I mean? Yeah,
25:11
Yeah, that was nineteen nineties too, Bro. I need to watch any
25:14
Steph Love I'm a watch I'm a cappin. Yeah. But what I was
25:18
saying was about Sopranos, was I like the angle they took on it where
25:22
the show really like the main scenes almost are like when he's talking to his
25:29
therapist, you know what I mean, Like he has to see a therapist,
25:33
and that's kind of like the hook of the show. He's always seeing
25:34
the therapist, Like oh and does that backtrack all the stories he's telling,
25:38
Like it backtracks and it also like weaves into it, you know what I
25:44
mean. So like that angle of it was the thing I was like,
25:47
Oh, Okay, I see what's going on here, Like it's very like
25:51
based in like the family dynamic, you know, him with the therapist,
25:55
like feelings, like you know the reasons behind why he's the way that he
25:57
is and stuff like that. So that that's that show is super dope,
26:02
man. Oh Sopranos though, that's that's all the time. I'm gonna check
26:08
it, I know. But that was damn that was number thirty eight.
26:14
The HBO. HBO is the one when it comes to shows, broh.
26:18
Like I said, Boardwalk Empire V. That's what I'm gonna say. We'll
26:25
kind of start wrapping up with this, but that's the one I'm watching right
26:29
now. Boardwalk Empire. Yeah, that's good. I watched the first time
26:33
season. I never finished it though, and I like that it kind of
26:37
ties into the backstory of how like the first mob families reformed and you know,
26:42
back in the you know, twenties and everything. And it starts right
26:45
at the beginning of pro Third Prohibition, right remember literally the first episode is
26:52
is the night that it becomes illagal. You know, it's super dope,
26:56
man. And they said Killian Murphy to do from Oppenheimer. No, no,
27:03
no, it's Steve BUMI no, but Kenny Murphy's any rare. Not
27:07
yet. Oh maybe I haven't seen him yet. Yeah, okay, yeah,
27:11
yeah, I remember Steve. I'm only like two seasons in. I
27:14
think gotcha, Okay, but yeah, that that show is super dope.
27:18
Definitely recommended so far. Yeah, I watched the first two seasons that I
27:22
never finished it. But it's the writing. And I think we were touching
27:26
on the writing in the chat earlier about Ted Lasso and the way you can
27:33
write shows, the way you can draw people in the character arts and how
27:37
to develop people and all that is what really draws you into a storyline.
27:45
And I think that spreads across everything. I think artists can do that.
27:48
I think artists can develop the storyline through the music they made. And that's
27:52
why I think Kendrick was on a good run when he started with his first
27:56
albums Drake two Wrestlers, same thing, fight or same thing. If you
28:02
could develop your storyline and you have your arc and where you have that apex
28:07
of where you're at, where you reach that hill and climb up, Like,
28:10
that's what the Cody Rose shit is so great for. Is everybody say
28:14
finish the story. Yep, it was such a good story. I think
28:17
that's so important to entertainment. Bring us in with the story. Don't just
28:21
do random ship, random shit, random ship yep. And that's the thread
28:25
through everything that we've talked about today as far as successful things and things we
28:29
enjoy, like when you when you pay attention to the story and take people
28:33
on that journey and really, you know, really build that payoff at the
28:38
end, Bro. And even with Sports Dog, you tell the story by
28:41
drafting your players, developing them. You know, you go through the heartbreaks
28:45
until you break through and then you win. Bro. That's what the Cowboys
28:49
ain't doing. That's what the WW wasn't doing under Vince mcman is building those
28:56
stories and finishing them stories any as an at a personal individual level, as
29:02
we were discussing before we got on the show, as far as how we
29:04
handle our careers, like, we have stories as individuals that led us to
29:08
where we are today and made us who we are today, and it gives
29:12
us a confidence who we are today. Like, Bro, if you knew
29:15
my fucking story, and same thing, I know your story. You know
29:21
my story. It tells why we are who we are today. Yep.
29:26
We have a story. We have one, a long, tumoltious story about
29:32
who we are, why we are who we are today yep. And it
29:36
really, man, it just leads to why we even here doing this podcast.
