  Speaker 1: I think one of the toughest things for listeners to
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: do is to find the podcast that everybody's talking about
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: on social media. When you go to iHeart or you
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: go to Spotify and you tap it in, it doesn't
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: come up. It's like, okay, I'm not going to listen
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: to it. Why not make it easy for you? Arrow.net, A-R-R-O-E.net.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: It's 21 different podcasts for you to choose from. Imagine that.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: The power of choice. Are you kidding me? Arrow.net. A-R-R-O-E
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: dot net. Enjoy your exploration. Hates me. The question guy.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: You know that dude that's always asking questions because it's
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: so much fun to do the research? For instance, MTV
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: did amazing things for bands and solo performers. Well, what
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: about Spotify and iHeartRadio? Plus... Is professional wrestling fighting to
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: stay alive? My name is Arrow. I'm a daily writer,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: a silent wolf. I stand on the sidelines and do
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: nothing but watch, listen, study, then activate. I call it
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: The Daily Mess because it's a chronological walkthrough in everyday world.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: It is my daily writing. When a subject arrives inside
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: of me, dude, it's time to dig in. It's still
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: keeping that daily journal, but by doing the research, the
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: picture is always going to become clearer. This is The
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Daily Mess. MTV did amazing things for bands and solo performers. Well,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: what about the present, like as in Spotify and iHeartRadio? Yes,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: iHeart and Spotify are having an amazing effect on today's music.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: just not in the way as MTV reached out to
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: the people in the 1980s and beyond. First, let's explain
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: the impact of MTV. The network could take a band
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: or solo performer to millions of people all at the
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: same time, over and over again. A great video didn't
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: promote the song. It created an image, personality, and mythology.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: MTV earned the honor of being a cultural gatekeeper. Now,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: you ready for the shocker? Spotify is much more powerful
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: in one way. It's worldwide. It is a music machine.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: In 2025, Spotify forked out $ 11 billion to the music
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: industry and more than 13,800 artists generated at least $ 100, 000
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: from Spotify alone. Here's where the war gets really thick.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: MTV meant everybody was watching the artist. Spotify relies on
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: algorithms based on artists you might like. MTV created mass
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: cultural moments. Spotify creates individual journeys. See, this is why
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: the average person has no freaking clue as to when
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: a huge star has gone wild on Spotify. Oh, now
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: where's iHeartRadio in all of this? It's not. It's seen
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: as an old-fashioned radio. Its strength is personalities, stations, and formats. Hey,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: coming up next, the subject of professional wrestling. Are they
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: fighting to stay alive? Hey, thanks for coming back to
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: The Daily Mess. Is professional wrestling fighting to stay alive?
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Can they reactivate it? Well, there's a better way to
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: say this. Is professional wrestling fighting to stay culturally relevant? Yeah.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: The business is substantial, but the audience, ooh, it's changing.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: So the old television model is changing with it. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure that's true. I caught NXT the other night.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: It's about who's next in professional wrestling. Man, it was
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: played in the same way that I used to watch
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: TV in the 1970s. It's a total flashback or salute
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: to the roots of wrestling. How is pro wrestling reinventing?
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: WWE has moved aggressively into streaming, which includes ESPN's streaming ecosystem.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: This doesn't mean that people have stopped watching. It's all
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: about where and how they take in professional wrestling. That's
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: what's changing dramatically. This is the moment to stop thinking
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: about wrestling being just wrestling. Come on now, it's about character,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: it's about drama, live events, social media, documentaries, gaming, podcasts,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: and so much more. Here's what they're facing without coming
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: out to talk about it. Can wrestling become too much wrestling?
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: If there was to be a major wrestling reinvention, it
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: would have to be in less content. Replace it with
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: something more meaningful. People really do tune in for the
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: drama and not the wrestling. I'm Errol, and that's The
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Daily Mess.
