Speaker 10 This is the Dan Labatar Show with the Stu Gats Podcast.

Speaker 9 So I saw the other day, I think Mike Ryan brought this up, how a social network 2, you know, the Facebook movie. Social network 2, I don't know why I'm looking at you, you don't know movies.

Speaker 3 I've heard of it.

Speaker 9 Okay. You've heard of Facebook?

Speaker 3 I've heard of social networks.

Speaker 9 Okay. So the social network, which starred Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg, Aaron Storkin wrote it.
Aaron Sorkin, I love his movies.

Speaker 9 And he used to write TV too. Great writer.

Speaker 4 To bring it back to sports real quick, Jesse Eisenberg, cousin of Jamie Eisenberg, fantasy football expert on CBS Sports. That's right, that's right.

Speaker 9 So they're coming out with a social network part two.

Speaker 3 It's in development. I don't know if David Fincher is attached to it, did a great job.
That was, as you mentioned, certainly in contention for one of the best opening scenes.

Speaker 9 What was the opening scene again in CBS?

Speaker 3 He's on a date.

Speaker 1 with the lady and it's just really a way you get to know Zuckerberg while just seeing him on a date.

Speaker 1 Usually opening scene and they like slap you over the face with this is this this is it's just a great way to set up the whole premise for who this guy is with just him on a date.

Speaker 1 He's just being a pompous asshole the whole time to her.

Speaker 3 Isn't it Rooney Mara who plays the girlfriend that he breaks up with? I believe so. I don't know if she was in the same.

Speaker 3 The only thing that I really remember about that is they established that Zuckerberg is an a-hole, but also White Stripes, Ball and Biscuit playing at the bar the entire time.

Speaker 3 It's a great track. I love that scene.
It's a great scene, but they're talking about developing a social network too now. More Facebook?

Speaker 3 Well, before, there's a lot of people like, well, that was a great dramatic. You don't, that was a great dramatic film.
You don't typically see sequels to popular dramatic films. Why do you think?

Speaker 9 Especially when they're based on true stories.

Speaker 3 Precisely. Why do one to this? Well, I mean, I think Zuckerberg's story only got even more interesting

Speaker 3 after the events of the social network one ended.

Speaker 3 Our lives are completely different because of what he created. Totally reshaped American politics.
Misinformation. Fascinating stuff there.

Speaker 3 But apparently, Jesse Eisenberg isn't attached to the project at the moment. Doesn't want to do it, which would make perfect sense because he doesn't want to do it.
Doesn't want to do it.

Speaker 9 Amazing. Now you see me part three.

Speaker 3 I don't know why he's going to

Speaker 3 do it.

Speaker 1 This is actually a movie that's respected.

Speaker 3 Maybe he doesn't want to just be pigeonholed into just being the guy that played Mark Zuckerberg. I don't think so.
Maybe he doesn't want to just be a... Pigeonholes and Ashley character?

Speaker 2 Because that's kind of what he does anyways on all his movies. Well,

Speaker 3 the replacement for him that's being talked about that is attached to the role of Zuckerberg is someone that would probably be pigeonholed into playing in a hole as well. Jeremy Strong.

Speaker 3 Oh, great actor. I would love to see what he does with the role.
It's a guy that played Kendall Roy in succession.

Speaker 3 A method actor that is taken very seriously when he's not doing Dunkin' Donut ads.

Speaker 3 But Jeremy Strong attached to this. I would love to see his interpretation of Zuckerberg in this whole new post-truth world.

Speaker 9 Has Jeremy Strong ever starred in a movie?

Speaker 3 You know, he didn't get top billing in The Apprentice. That's his movie.
Playing Roger, uh,

Speaker 3 uh, Roger Cohen. That was.
I don't even know what that is. Was it Roger Cohen? Or am I confusing him? I might be complaining it with Roger Stone, but

Speaker 3 yeah, the

Speaker 3 attorney that kind of took

Speaker 3 Donald Trump by the hand and made Donald Trump basically what he is. That he was phenomenal in that movie.

Speaker 9 He's a great. Is Is this going to be Aaron Sorkin again, writing the script?

Speaker 3 I think Fincher is attached. I'm not sure if Sorkin is attached to the script.

Speaker 9 I don't see anything Aaron Sorkin writes.

Speaker 3 Yeah, and you don't think he overdoes it a little bit?

Speaker 11 Why?

Speaker 9 That it's on the dialogue's unrealistic?

Speaker 3 Yeah, sometimes he just gets the hallmark, man. Fool Sorkin.
That's the hallmark.

Speaker 9 I mean, you love the West Wing, right?

Speaker 3 Nobody talks the way all those people in West Wing do. No.

Speaker 4 You don't get the dizzies when you watch Sorkin?

Speaker 9 Because it's so fast.

Speaker 4 It should be fascinating. It's just the camera following people in circles type of thing.

Speaker 3 It's just human beings don't speak this way. Correct.
But, I I mean,

Speaker 3 you're watching a movie and you like the way that they speak. I'm with that, but human beings don't speak the way that they speak in Tarantino movies either.
Correct. And I like it.

Speaker 3 Only Tarantino speaks that way. And you just kind of sign up for a whole,

Speaker 3 I mean, the guy's just pleasuring himself the entire movie, anyways. Not literally, but you know.

Speaker 11 Gone.

Speaker 3 I mean, his movies are very self-indulging.

Speaker 9 Greg, is Mike Ryan selling you on social network part two?

Speaker 3 You know what, movies? Enough with the sequels.

Speaker 9 Have a new idea.

Speaker 3 I haven't heard this take. Okay.
Reboot. I'm tired of sequels.

Speaker 3 It's one of, honestly, it's one of the many reasons why I'm not a big movie guy.

Speaker 3 Because, you know,

Speaker 3 don't give me a version of what I've already seen.

Speaker 4 Tell me a news story.

Speaker 3 Thank you.

Speaker 9 Okay, but you're saying that as if there is not a plethora of films out there for you to choose from, as if the only movies for you to pick are sequels and unoriginal ideas.

Speaker 3 There are millions of them. There are plenty, but

Speaker 3 there hasn't been a sequel that was better than the original since Godfather 2.

Speaker 9 Okay, that's not true.

Speaker 3 Okay, name one.

Speaker 9 Terminator 2?

Speaker 3 Way better. I think that

Speaker 3 Bad Boys do.

Speaker 2 I think they've been having problems in movies, especially in digital movies, where people only go see sequels. Like, Disney hasn't had original movies in a long time.

Speaker 2 Like, they had this movie Elio come out that no one saw. But if you have like the Incredibles 3 come out, people would go swarm to see it.

Speaker 3 Right, I agree. And that's the problem.
That's easy money.

Speaker 4 The problem with your argument on this particular movie, Greg, is that this was based on a true story, right? And so there's more to the story that continues.

Speaker 4 It's as if we were to see a documentary on LeBron James's career after he was done with the Miami Heat, and then you never see another documentary about LeBron James ever.

Speaker 4 There's a lot more to that story, just like there's a lot more to the Zuckerberg story after Facebook.

Speaker 3 Yeah, but Zuckerberg is famous enough and out front enough where it doesn't anybody who's interested already know the story.

Speaker 4 So, you know all the details of how he came about to Instagram and how it was maybe an issue in his life or how it like blew up?

Speaker 3 You know all those details. Well, I remember seeing and thinking it was okay.
Look in front of that microphone. I think I saw a social network.

Speaker 3 It's pretty wild that you got in front of the microphone for one second and you were just like right back in. Petered out.
This might be an old dog new tricks type of situation.

Speaker 3 But I think like the behind-the-scenes lobbying, the... Yeah, didn't he have to go in front of Congress?

Speaker 3 Yeah, speaking in front of Congress, seeing how his life was impacted by that, seeing how he impacted our lives, seeing how, behind the scenes, how he manipulates the algorithm to kind of reinforce this age of misinformation.

Speaker 3 I think all that would be fascinating. And if Aaron Sorkin is writing it, then we can guarantee that it would be highly dramatic.
Yeah, but when he's speaking in front of Congress, that's in the news.

Speaker 3 I see that on TV.

Speaker 3 I know what he said in front of Congress. I want to know about everything that happened around that.
The dialogue at Facebook, the dialogue with his family. and that kind of stuff is interesting.

Speaker 3 Okay.

Speaker 2 So if

Speaker 2 this isn't an actual like documentary, this is more like a depiction or like a based on true story situation.

Speaker 2 Why would Zuckerberg want that if you're just going to kind of like make up what was going on behind the scenes?

Speaker 3 He doesn't have a saying.

Speaker 3 Who cares?

Speaker 2 Well, I'm just saying, like, if you don't actually have access to it and you're like, oh, this is kind of what we think may have happened. Like, how's that going to happen?

Speaker 3 They research it. I mean, like, they're fake.
I don't know if Patton was around to give his input on Patton.

Speaker 3 Like, they're historians or people that this is all well done. Yeah, but it's

Speaker 2 a documentary and based on a true story or different things.

Speaker 3 I don't understand. Like, this is a dramatic thing.

Speaker 4 If it's a scene where it's just Zuckerberg and there's nobody else in the room, yes, you can assume that is entirely fictionalized and they just came up with it.

Speaker 4 But if there's other people in a room, you could imagine they asked people questions: hey, what happened here? What happened here? What happened here?

Speaker 4 Without actually getting the detail by detail from Zuckerberg himself.

Speaker 3 Right. I love biopics.

Speaker 3 I understand that there's some creative license that's being taken, but also they're well researched. I've heard that pronounced biopic as well, which is correct.
They both work. They're biopic.

Speaker 3 They both work. They both work.
Yeah, I used to be like staunch one way or another, but it's kind of like JIF and GIF.

Speaker 4 I think biopic is where people who are like trying to be smarter than they really are use. Whereas if it's just biopic, you know exactly what the hell it is.
Whereas it's a biopic.

Speaker 4 What the hell is a biopic? And then you go, oh, you mean biopic.

Speaker 3 Oh, okay. But they're both acceptable is the biopic.

Speaker 4 I think the only reason biopic is acceptable is because smart people said it wrong and said, no, no, that's the way you say it.

Speaker 3 What would the majority think, though? Biopic.

Speaker 3 Biopic, actually, biopic.

Speaker 3 Well, see, you're going to both sides there.

Speaker 5 Yeah.

Speaker 3 In other words, it's controversy.

Speaker 2 I say biopsy sometimes.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Biopsy. Okay.
When it's not that smart.

Speaker 3 All right.

Speaker 9 It was big news this morning, guys. What happened?

Speaker 9 So last week, you had big news with

Speaker 9 WWE

Speaker 9 signing their rights deal with ESPN, which we'll circle back to that in a second. It was a five-year, $1.2 billion deal.
Incredible.

Speaker 9 Incredible now, where WWE is now in the same category when it comes to TV rights deals as other sports properties.

Speaker 4 Like, that's freaking wild.

Speaker 3 The ratings kind of dictate that, and it's kind of, this is what they brought when they brought Nick Kahn to the table, which was a business-minded person that didn't necessarily subscribe to where the establishment would place wrestling which is always viewed as something silly they would all have probably a Greg Cody a view of wrestling this is all uh orchestrated predetermined this is not a real sport but it is a real valuable television property with weekly programming that rates really well with 10 poll monthly benchmarks that get people to to tune in.

Speaker 3 So it would make sense that it should absolutely and if you look at the social media metrics, it's one of the bigger properties on the planet.

Speaker 3 But you would agree it's an entertainment more than a sport. Yes, but it's

Speaker 3 who's still making the other case.

Speaker 9 Like, yeah, like everybody knows that.

Speaker 3 No, it's not. It's not.

Speaker 3 You're just talking about it as being comparable to other sports.

Speaker 9 When it comes to TV rights deals.

Speaker 10 TV rights deals.

Speaker 3 It's athletic. It's not a sport.
No one's making that argument.

Speaker 9 I mean, five years, $1.2 billion.

Speaker 3 That's... Right.

Speaker 9 I mean, it's not what the NBA is getting or what the NFL is getting, but man, like,

Speaker 9 it's in the same category.

Speaker 3 And it's fairly limited for essentially just 12, approximately 12 events a year. Yeah.

Speaker 3 That is an impressive number, but I do think that with framing that number now and where they landed is more made more interesting and made a little bit clearer, given that the other big portion of TKO's portfolio just signed

Speaker 3 a massive deal with Paramount.

Speaker 9 So this was the huge news from this morning, which I don't know that it came out of nowhere. Like the WWE SBN deal kind of came out of nowhere.

Speaker 9 Once you saw the WWE SPN deal, you kind of knew that this was the next domino. And so UFC has signed with Paramount.
It is a seven-year,

Speaker 9 seven some odds.

Speaker 9 $7.7 billion

Speaker 9 deal. So like I was thinking to myself, hmm, you know, if WWE got that, I wonder what UFC is going to get in the next one.

Speaker 3 Well, UFC is going to get a lot more than what WWE just got is the answer. Rightfully so, because UFC, in terms of premium events,

Speaker 3 UFC, every weekend.

Speaker 9 How much did they used to charge for their pay-per-view? It's like $69.99 or something.

Speaker 3 Yeah, in that neighborhood, like $59.99, $69.99. But a big part of this deal is apparently the pay-per-view model is a thing from a bygone era.

Speaker 3 UFC, every major card is going to be included with your Paramount Plus subscription. Now, no more pay-per-view.

Speaker 3 Real quick, want to talk to you about how how GameTime is the official ticketing partner of the Dan Lebatard show.

Speaker 3 Grateful that GameTime has been on with us as long as they have because I use this product all the time. I travel for football.
If I'm in a new city, I like to see what concerts are in town.

Speaker 3 One of the very first things I check is my favorite app for the secondary ticket market, the Game Time app.

Speaker 1 Why?

Speaker 3 Because it gives me zone deals, favorites, panoramic seat views. Most importantly, the lowest price guarantee.
Because if GameTime does not have the lowest price for you, GameTime will credit you 110%

Speaker 10 of the difference.

Speaker 3 I've lived it, folks. I've been at a place where I saw cheaper tickets.
They credited me. It's legit.

Speaker 11 You know how most home security systems wait until after something bad happens? It's like a goalie just standing there until the puck's already in the net.

Speaker 3 That's reactive.

Speaker 11 SimplySafe, on the other hand, well, that's Sergey Pobrovsky and Net, it's for active protection.

Speaker 11 The new active guard outdoor protection uses AI-powered cameras and real monitoring agents who spot trouble before it happens.

Speaker 11 If someone's looking around, around, they'll talk to them, hit the lights, sound the alarm, even call the cops, all before anything gets through. That's a shutout level defense.

Speaker 11 No contracts, no hidden fees, and named best home security system by U.S.

Speaker 13 Don Lebatard.

Speaker 9 John, can you rate my Al Pacino from that billiard scene in Carlito's Way if I do it for you? I think it's pretty good.

Speaker 3 Yeah, okay. Stugats.

Speaker 9 You think you're big time?

Speaker 9 Or you're gonna die

Speaker 9 big time.

Speaker 14 That is

Speaker 14 on my infamous scale of one to ten.

Speaker 14 That's a 7.6.

Speaker 3 Solid. Good job.
Top down. Good job, Dad.

Speaker 3 That's a SUE nominee right there. Good.

Speaker 13 This is the Don Lebatar show with the Stugats.

Speaker 4 Were those numbers doing well or were they not doing well? And so that's why you get rid of the pay-per-view.

Speaker 3 I'm not sure. I don't know how to answer that.
It was a fear that ESPN would charge extra for WWE PLEs because they had established this pay-per-view model.

Speaker 9 Which we don't, they're not very clear. Like, we were, we're still kind of confused.
What are we talking?

Speaker 9 Four days later after the WWE SPN thing is announced, although I think I understand how they're doing it. We're still confused there.
The UFC Paramount deal is pretty clear, right?

Speaker 3 Pretty clear. You sign up for Paramount Plus.
You get the UFC, all their numbered

Speaker 3 pay-per-view events, all their UFC UFC fight nights, all that stuff, now Paramount, now behind the Paramount Plus.

Speaker 4 So we don't know if the Paramount Plus price is going up.

Speaker 3 I would lock into a year now.

Speaker 2 I would lock into a year subscription now before that goes up significantly.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I would assume so if they're doing away with the pay-per-view model.

Speaker 3 Also, not only does this make us look back at the WWE deal and say, like, okay, that was kind of like a make-good for UFC leaving the ESPN platform, is

Speaker 3 we know Dana White's political leanings, how visible

Speaker 3 Republican politicians in particular have been at his events. The elephant in the room here is that the FCC is very involved with this merger between Paramount and Skydance.

Speaker 3 And now you have Dana White, conservative icon, Dana White, and the UFC going to Paramount Plus in a multi-billion dollar payment.

Speaker 2 I think he'd take 7.7 from anyone that offered it.

Speaker 3 Yeah, but I also see him like...

Speaker 2 And if there's like 7.9, I think he'd take that.

Speaker 3 If it wasn't Paramount, there's all sorts of look,

Speaker 3 it's viewed as they gave Trump a bribe.

Speaker 9 But like, it's Paramount. Are you saying, like, is Paramount willing to be the highest bidder? Let's assume.
Is Paramount willing to be the highest bidder?

Speaker 3 Because, like, they like what that represents? Well, this deal was,

Speaker 3 deals take a long amount of time. And I imagine part of the subtext to getting this merger approved is Dana White also telling his political friends, like, I have this massive deal waiting for me.

Speaker 3 It's pending this merger because without this merger, I don't get that.

Speaker 3 Again, Again, subtext, but curious to look back on the framework on how the sausage got made, how the FCC's involvement with the CBS in particular, which is well documented.

Speaker 3 This is a nice little added layer that's curious, but the shockwaves here is that a sport that was predominantly behind a pay-per-view model ceases being a pay-per-view model and getting $7.7 billion.

Speaker 4 Just so I'm clear on this, what you're saying, Mike, is it sounded like while Donald Trump is suing Paramount, you're saying this was in the works with Dana White, and Dana might be like, hey, Donald, you might want to speed up that hook-go-ahead settlement because I've got this deal with Paramount in the works.

Speaker 3 I don't know about speed up, but get what you need to get.

Speaker 3 But hey, just so you know, it would be really important to me, your friend, over here, if this merger goes through because they have the top off.

Speaker 4 Yeah, because it does look weird just on the outside looking in if you don't know any details. Hey, didn't Donald Trump just sue this company?

Speaker 4 And now Donald Trump's right-hand guy, Dana White, is now going into bed with this company? Just weird from the outside looking in.

Speaker 3 I mean, the Trump administration has gotten literally everything that they want. The only thorn in their side from a Paramount perspective appears to be South Park

Speaker 3 going at them. And, you know,

Speaker 3 maybe that's the concession here. But either way, this is a massive day for the UFC.
That is a major day.

Speaker 9 It's a great day for UFC fans.

Speaker 3 Great, great day. We'll see what the price point is, but I imagine we'll save money because we're paying, you know.

Speaker 9 You say that, though. We'll see what the price point is.
Like, I'm guessing, I have have Paramount. I'm guessing.
It's probably some like $12.99 that I'm paying right now, whatever it is.

Speaker 9 I don't think it's one of the higher.

Speaker 3 I pay for Paramount just for the soccer properties that they have. I'm really happy about this as someone that likes the UFC and doesn't always come to the table to spend their money on

Speaker 3 the pay-per-view.

Speaker 4 I paid $100 for the bigger UFC fights via PayPal. Crazy.
So if I have to pay, even if they raise their thing to $20 a month, if I'm a UFC guy, that's a bargain.

Speaker 3 It's great for the sport because Dana White right now, you know, there are peaks and valleys when it comes to big-time star attractions.

Speaker 3 Right now, I think UFC was coming off the heels of a time where they had some stars that generated pay-per-view buzz. Now they're in that mode that they often find themselves in.

Speaker 3 Where's our next Connor? Where's our next

Speaker 3 big-time superstar that we can get as a draw? Well, you start making these more accessible and not something that someone has to pay per event for.

Speaker 3 Everyone's going to be paying more attention to the sport.

Speaker 9 Because, and also, here's the thing. Like, yeah, I would assume Paramount is going to raise their price.
I mean, how much? Can't be that much more that they raise it to, but they'll probably raise it.

Speaker 9 Paying $69.99, $79.99, whatever it is for these UFC pay-per-views, I've been out on that for a long time.

Speaker 9 It's a crazy amount of money to spend per month, especially because comparative to WWE, you know,

Speaker 9 WWE, they're both entertainment, obviously, but WWE is scripted.

Speaker 9 So I know at least when I'm paying whatever I'm paying for WWE each month, they're going to set it up in a way that they believe their audience is going to be very happy after they plunk down their money.

Speaker 9 UFC, you could put together whatever kind of card you want. It's quite possible that the fights end up stinking.
And then you paid your $69.99, $79.99.

Speaker 4 It's like, man, you even get the fights that don't count because the dude didn't make weight and they're just like, ah, we got to do this anyway because we built it up this whole time.

Speaker 4 Yeah, this is by far, as a consumer,

Speaker 4 not just more affordable, but the lot safer way to spend your money.

Speaker 3 Well, let me mention one thing as a UFC agnostic. I'm not a fan of the sport.
I don't hate the sport.

Speaker 3 But my impression, tell me if I'm right or wrong, is that four out of five UFC numbered main cards are not particularly compelling. One out of five,

Speaker 3 it has a main fight that everybody wants to see, that would be a pay-per-view draw. But the other four out of five are just sort of pedestrian.

Speaker 4 Bad if you listen to Tony.

Speaker 9 I think what Greg is saying, though, those other four out of five,

Speaker 9 if you're the hardcore fan, you're very excited, but you're not getting the casual fan to watch those four.

Speaker 3 I think you're probably spot on about that.

Speaker 3 You'll be more inclined. They'll do a great job of marketing these events.

Speaker 3 There'll be whole new stars made because the hardest part in making stars is getting someone to pony up the 60 bucks approximately a month. the undercards.
That's where you generate the stars.

Speaker 3 And right now, they're at a place where the top bill isn't really drawing the same amount of business.

Speaker 3 So, as someone that tries to follow the sport best they can, but won't justify paying the pay-per-view prices for every card, this is big for me because this is something that now can go on the second screen, a third screen.

Speaker 3 A fight can catch my eye now and casually watch it in the background. Yes, this is great.

Speaker 4 Quick question, though, because anything's possible. We don't know what the plan is for the long term.

Speaker 4 Is it possible that because you said the big names are not quite hitting as hard as they used to, we're just trying to get you in again for free to where if we develop the big name, all of a sudden, hey, hey, this one in particular, $59.99 pay-per-view.

Speaker 3 I don't know if it's very hard to go back to that. WWE went away from the pay-per-view model.
They went to $9.99 with their WWE network.

Speaker 3 And then when they signed with Peacock, all the PLEs were embedded within your subscription. And now that is at least what they're aspiring to go to with ESPN, which is it's included in

Speaker 3 your ESPN streaming service. Once you go in the direction of we're no longer going to make you pay per view.

Speaker 9 That's why I'm hesitant on the miscommunication we're having with.

Speaker 2 You are right?

Speaker 3 Yeah, you're really struggling. Did you get Vertigo? Yeah.
Allen? I'm sitting in somebody in my throat.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it's been tough. Well, I'll touch Melville.

Speaker 3 Look away. Look away.

Speaker 2 I saw his friends first at school pictures and it's finally getting

Speaker 3 up with it. I wish your teammates there to help you out.

Speaker 9 I get very choked up when thinking about how I don't have to pay for a UFC anymore.

Speaker 9 It makes my heart swell.

Speaker 3 I don't know if

Speaker 3 maybe there's an example where someone can remind me where someone decided to break away from the pay-per-view model. Now give us a lot of money for it.

Speaker 3 And then go back to it after their fan base got used to it.

Speaker 9 That's why, like, I'm hopeful that WWE. So we're still really unclear.
Four or five days later, if you have to pay your $29.99 a month.

Speaker 9 I think the way that I understand it is if you have ESPN per your cable provider, those are your credentials to be able to log into the DTC app and then you get the WWE shows.

Speaker 3 Where I'm not totally clear on, and I swear to God, this is not a bit, I don't know if this is a whole new streaming service or the one I already have. I don't know if they're launching something new.

Speaker 3 I'm not going to put the audience through that again. I'm just unclear on that.

Speaker 9 Billy, why are you so frustrated?

Speaker 2 Because what do I do about red zone? I still don't know if I have to buy red zone or not.

Speaker 3 Right. I don't want to do that thing.
We all sound super old, but it's still a little unclear to me. The messaging.
I hate it when things are announced and we don't know. This is not the first time.

Speaker 4 Where the hell do you want to enter Miami?

Speaker 3 That's on Apple. Unless they're on cost.

Speaker 3 I understand that schedule. Please explain it to me.

Speaker 3 But I do think that this is a big-time win for consumers. And I also understand what the aspirations are for the WWE ESBN deal.

Speaker 3 I know that it's exactly what Zaz said, but those deals haven't been formally made with all the carriers. I have two different carriers come football season.
I have YouTube TV

Speaker 3 and my Xfinity. I don't know if I...

Speaker 2 See if you're redundant.

Speaker 3 YouTube TV. It's a luxury.
I afford myself during football season because I like the multi-screen.

Speaker 1 You got to do football, YouTube TV. It's just the multi-screen.

Speaker 3 It's the best. I like having the multi-screen.
I have four games at one.

Speaker 9 I just like having red zone on one of my TVs.

Speaker 2 Cancel your Comcast.

Speaker 3 You can go four, Red Zone, and one.

Speaker 1 You pick your other three guys.

Speaker 3 I can't cancel my Comcast because my Comcasts are credentials. There are certain things that I watch, like Tennis Channel.
I'm a big-time tennis channel guy.

Speaker 3 On streamers, on like YouTube TV, you only get tennis channel two i want tennis channel one college football saturday is also the youtube four games it's awesome yeah no if tennis channel was a standalone thing i'd much i'm losing a lot of money right now because the package that i have to have on my cable to have tennis channel is an upper tier and i basically only play pay for that for that and do the ene that's why i've been watching these second rate tennis matches this whole time that's tennis channel two i've been watching on youtube too

Speaker 9 wow i had no idea i gotta upgrade that's a sequel that surpassed the original greg t2 everybody knows that Everybody.

Speaker 3 There have been plenty. Is that Titanic? Yeah.
Spider-Man 2 was better than Spider-Man 1 2. So what? Dr.
Octopus.

Speaker 9 What is still

Speaker 9 on pay-per-view?

Speaker 3 AEW. AEW still adheres to a pay-per-view model.
Boxing. Boxing, yeah.
You have to pay extra.

Speaker 9 Boxing's always going to be pay-per-view, right?

Speaker 3 Porn. Yeah.
No, no, no, I mean... Porn.
What are we talking about?

Speaker 4 High-quality porn is still pay-per-view.

Speaker 9 You see this right here? This is called an iPad.

Speaker 3 All right. I can get whatever I want right here.

Speaker 3 What are you talking about?

Speaker 3 Only fantastic. That's the same iPad, huh?

Speaker 3 You use your work iPad, huh?

Speaker 3 What do you mean, work iPad? Is that the same? Smith's iPad. Oh, he doesn't work with that iPad.

Speaker 3 Listen. Listen, guys.

Speaker 3 Greg, Greg. Craig, don't touch that iPad.

Speaker 9 Listen, when you open up the browser, you open up Safari.

Speaker 9 Don't do it.

Speaker 3 Don't do it. Don't know.
Don't do it. Don't know what that gives me.

Speaker 3 Private mode. Don't open that.
That's right.

Speaker 1 Different tabs.

Speaker 9 There's a private mode.

Speaker 9 Now, I will tell you, this has happened before. Could it have happened when, you know, I used to be on the Miami Heat Radio broadcast team?

Speaker 9 Possibly when you open up the browser and you're still on the private, that could be embarrassing.

Speaker 3 You're revealing a lot.

Speaker 3 You got to X out of that room. Tommy Tig right next to you.
Yeah, Tommy Tig over here. Up.
Look away. Hog cranking.

Speaker 9 You got to be careful, all right? You always got to be careful with the cookies as well. That's how you get caught.
You know about those cookies, Greg?

Speaker 3 I do not.

Speaker 9 Well, make sure you clear them. I shouldn't be accepting all of them.

Speaker 11 No, you should never do that.

Speaker 3 They're body cookies. You can never accept them.

Speaker 4 You're not in all walks of life.

Speaker 1 I always just accept them. I don't know.

Speaker 3 Yeah, what's a cookie? I mean, what's the problem with a cookie?

Speaker 3 Well, I was going to say I'd love to see the look on your face if you got a banner that said, Your phone has been hacked.

Speaker 3 But I don't want to see the look at your face in that moment.

Speaker 3 Folks, the leaves are turning. The weather's getting a little chillier.

Speaker 13 Don Lebatard.

Speaker 9 That was a long story.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it's It's the only kind he tells.

Speaker 2 It's a short one for me. I tried to speed it up for you guys.

Speaker 3 You forgot about the League's Cup. Stugats.

Speaker 3 Yeah. La Carreta is a place where the best of the celebrations has to be the 97 Marlin celebration because it was Levant.

Speaker 2 Well, when Fidel died the first time.

Speaker 13 This is the Don Lebatar show with the Stugats.

Speaker 9 Billy, you have,

Speaker 9 you've been in on Prime movies these days? You're finding stuff you like on Prime?

Speaker 4 I saw the pickup.

Speaker 2 Have you seen the pickup on Prime Minister?

Speaker 3 No, what's that?

Speaker 2 It's a new movie on Prime.

Speaker 10 Is that the Pete Davidson?

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Eddie Murphy? I just learned that Eddie Murphy had a new movie.

Speaker 1 Heard bad things.

Speaker 2 You know, I think I got to be honest with you. Like, listening to you guys talk about movies and the way I watch them, we're different people.
Like, I think we do movies very

Speaker 2 differently.

Speaker 3 That's true. I think we're fine on our side and you're fine on yours.

Speaker 2 Yeah, like I watch a movie and I move on with my life. Like, I don't remember the opening scene 20 years later.
I don't really think about it.

Speaker 2 I'm entertained for 90 minutes and then I kind of move on to

Speaker 3 the next thing. Yeah.

Speaker 9 That's your cutoff for movie runtime, 90 minutes?

Speaker 2 90 minutes is like a good... I loved when Netflix had the 90-minute movie section on

Speaker 2 their options. So there's comedy and then there's drama and then there's something that's like 90-minute movies.
I feel like I'm on a plane and there's a 90-minute movie.

Speaker 9 Well, but the plane depends on the movie.

Speaker 2 The plane depends on how long, obviously, my flight is. I'm not going to take a long movie if it's like a 90-minute flight.

Speaker 2 Yeah, but I just kind of watch a movie and I move on.

Speaker 3 That's the movie, The Pickup?

Speaker 9 Yeah, The Pickup.

Speaker 3 It's Heist. It's Davidson.
So you watch TV Murphy. And you have no thoughts.

Speaker 2 It's not that I don't have any thoughts, it's I enjoy it. A lot of times, I'm like, I don't even remember the character.

Speaker 2 Like, if you were to ask me the characters' names from the pickup, I don't remember. I watched it on Friday night or Saturday night, whatever night it was, and I moved on with my life.

Speaker 3 Good for Billy. Yeah.
That's a healthy way to watch movies.

Speaker 2 I don't go to the theater often. I go, you know, once every four or five years if there's, you know, a big movie.

Speaker 3 Four or five years.

Speaker 4 Billy is always always confused as to how people memorize these movie lines. Like, do you know how often you have to watch these movies to memorize these lines over and over?

Speaker 3 Just a couple.

Speaker 3 No. I don't even remember Goodfellow.
I didn't even remember.

Speaker 2 Yeah, you did it for Goodfellows a minute ago. I don't remember.

Speaker 3 20 times. There you go.
I don't remember what happened.

Speaker 2 Anything that happened in the social network, just Mark Zuckerberg, kind of like, I don't know.

Speaker 1 It's like different than the social networks, the line is, drop the the.

Speaker 4 It's different than sports when something great happens

Speaker 4 and you just watch highlight after highlight or the people tell you the next year, hey, look what happened last year on this day. That's how it gets burned in your memory.

Speaker 11 But there's movie, like I just watch, I'm with Billy most of the time, 99% of the time, watch a movie one time, move on with my life.

Speaker 2 Someone asked me, I said, like, oh, I'm watching the pickup, and they say, what did you think? And I go, well, I mean, we get different things out of movies. You like art, and I like Fast and Furious.

Speaker 2 So I enjoyed the pickup. You probably would not.

Speaker 9 Who is this person that likes the art?

Speaker 2 The art coogler.

Speaker 3 He's out there. Oh.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I was talking to him about it because he's friends. You know, spoiler with with friends with someone in the movie.

Speaker 3 You would think the whole thing that you project about being chill with movies would come with far less judgment. What do you mean? I'm not judging you.

Speaker 3 I love movies. I don't judge anybody that takes your approach, but you're like, wow, you like art.
I like Fast and Furious, too. I love the big dumb movies.

Speaker 2 You shouldn't feel attacked. This isn't like a personal thing against you.

Speaker 3 I'm just saying. I just watch a movie and I kind of do kind of feel attacked because your general vibe is not as chill as you project.

Speaker 3 Okay.

Speaker 9 I don't like Pete Davidson.

Speaker 3 I don't either, man. He was pretty good.

Speaker 2 Well, okay, we don't like him.

Speaker 3 Yeah, the bug eyes. The old Bug Eyes.

Speaker 9 I like Petey. That's what you call him, yeah.
Yeah. No, no, no.
I don't get it.

Speaker 4 That was my worst Halloween costume ever.

Speaker 3 You were Pete Davidson?

Speaker 4 Yeah, let's not talk about it.

Speaker 3 Really? On a round? Yeah, you brought it up.

Speaker 9 What do you mean let's not talk about it?

Speaker 4 I need a photo of that.

Speaker 4 The blonde look, like the Taco Bell commercials, it just wasn't good. I just realized he's not that popular.

Speaker 3 I forgot he was a Taco Bell pitch man. You know who I like? The dog.
Bring that. The Chihuahua? Yeah, bring back the Chihuahua.
Yeah, quieto Taco Bell.

Speaker 9 So, anyway, Billy likes Prime movies. Very good.
Is Is there another movie on Prime that you've seen recently that we should check out?

Speaker 9 Not lately. Prime's not one of my go-to apps

Speaker 2 for movies.

Speaker 9 I'm watching shows on Prime Minister. So I like hearing if there's a good movie on Prime.
I feel like, because

Speaker 9 I want to know that I'm paying for something.

Speaker 9 It's just the app that's there. I don't use it very often.

Speaker 2 I'd like to go to it. That one's fine, though, because it comes included with actual Amazon Prime, right? So it's like, yeah, if there's something there, it's just a bonus for me.

Speaker 4 Weren't two of Metalark's biggest documentaries on Amazon Prime? Yeah, is it?

Speaker 3 I don't know. I love Prime.
Taurasi. Yeah.
I don't know. Oh, that just counts.

Speaker 9 That's on Prime. Yeah.

Speaker 3 All right.

Speaker 9 That's something to watch then.

Speaker 3 All right.

Speaker 3 Good rivals on Prime, and Taurasi is on Prime. The comeback is on Netflix.
That won an Emmy, folks.

Speaker 1 Yeah, this Pete Davidson ain't good.

Speaker 3 Oh, wow.

Speaker 10 You did get the haggard look.

Speaker 1 Confirming.

Speaker 3 You did get the just rolled out of the bed after a while. There it is.
We have it on the screen.

Speaker 4 It's the, oh, we've been doing TV from home for a couple of years now look. Like, that's zero assistance

Speaker 9 with the haircut, the makeup or anything how cold was that crunch wrap oh it was delicious is that the supreme of course yeah what's the difference is there any other kind well i that's my question is there the supreme i've never seen it without the is it always just the supreme can you just be like i don't want the supreme one this time i just want the regular crunch wrap you get to order you can always go no so if i could put a bow on this ufc paramount wwe espn conversation uh Chris, you've seen some of this WWE Unreal that's on Netflix, right?

Speaker 1 I have and I love it because I love the behind the scenes of this type of thing. It's really

Speaker 1 of it, believe it or not. I am way more into Unreal than I am actually watching wrestling.
I haven't really tuned in outside of big WrestleMania pay-per-views. I'm as casual wrestling fan.

Speaker 1 I appreciate it, but I love this Unreal.

Speaker 9 Because you know, this Unreal, it's a very controversial topic right now.

Speaker 1 It's behind the scenes, and it's a lot of Triple H, and he's just like, you're getting to see where he tells, who's the guy,

Speaker 1 the guy that won the Rumble?

Speaker 3 Jey Usa.

Speaker 1 Yeah, like you see the moment he tells him he's going to win it. like it's really cool behind the scenes stuff, but you're seeing how the sausage is made.

Speaker 1 It's something that I love because I don't really care about wrestling that much.

Speaker 3 I wonder, are they ruining?

Speaker 1 And I know that it's known even with this.

Speaker 9 This is why it's controversial. Yeah, don't case

Speaker 3 out the window.

Speaker 1 But I'm talking about like kids, like an 11-year-old, a 10-year-old, are they watching this?

Speaker 1 Or are these two different audiences, the people that tune in for the actual wrestling and the people that watch Unreal?

Speaker 1 Because I'm loving it, but I am worried that there are some people out there that it's ruining it a little bit for.

Speaker 3 I think I pinpointed why I have zero interest in this. And I've seen some of the clips, and I'm like, I think some of it, like the guys talking post-match, I think that that's genuine access.

Speaker 3 But Triple H is overseeing their creative, and

Speaker 3 you can tell he's very sensitive to criticism and things leaking out. I think Unreal is not actually what it's being positioned as.

Speaker 1 It's like hard knocks where they're not really showing us.

Speaker 3 They're showing you exactly what they want you to see. And it is just yet another card that that he can play when it comes to playing his audience.

Speaker 3 Like they're doing something right now with this character Karrion Cross, where he's out of contract.

Speaker 3 He's in the alumni section. You can't stream his music anymore.
He's coming back. They're working folks.
And

Speaker 3 it's a move that he goes to way too much because you're supposed to

Speaker 3 have people genuinely get people over. And I think they try to manufacture people into thinking a certain thing.
I think this is all manufactured access. That is just another part of their storyline.

Speaker 3 That I just, I watch the week-to-week stuff.

Speaker 3 That's where you can work me a little bit.

Speaker 9 That's how I feel because it may surprise you. I have not watched this WWE Unreal yet, which I think is probably getting really good numbers.
It's in conversation a lot.

Speaker 9 It's very controversial for all the reasons that you just laid out. I haven't watched any of it yet because I kind of don't, and I love wrestling.
Everybody knows that.

Speaker 9 I kind of don't want to know how the sausage is made. Like, I'm good with suspending my disbelief on on a week-to-week basis.
And I, like, you know, Game of Thrones.

Speaker 9 Do I want to be in the writer's room in Game of Thrones while they're there, you know, definitely not the final season, but do I want to be in the writer's room hearing how they come up with everything?

Speaker 3 Not really. That's the cool thing.

Speaker 1 I want to watch the show. It's so like, I'm like, this is how simple it is.
It's literally Triple H kicking his legs back being like, you guys think that CM should win this?

Speaker 1 Who you guys think should win? And it's just like five people being like, I think Uso should win. And it's like, oh, let me think about it.

Speaker 1 It's just five people just like, but to your point, maybe that decision was already made.

Speaker 4 Isn't this basically a means bring back DVD commentary?

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 4 It's just like, hey, if you want to know the inside details of how that scene was made or this was made, hey, you have this option. By the way, great name.

Speaker 3 Unreal, fantastic.

Speaker 3 I do like that you get to see the workflow that goes into some of the decision making. And I do think that that is real.
Like people are pitching guys.

Speaker 3 And I like seeing the original cards that they were working with.

Speaker 3 The fact that Bad Bunny was originally the on the card and you like to see their original plans and where they go and I do think that they provide insight, but I do think for some of the larger storylines that they have going this is just another device for them to set their audience up into thinking something is real and true access when really they're just working folks because the storyline's still going it's active and so oh we're giving you this and you're like I don't want to know because maybe I'll know what's gonna happen next or maybe I'll sort of predict where it's gonna be.

Speaker 3 No, they're further away. There's a distance.
It's like how Formula One is like a season afterwards. This is the stuff that's going.
I think WrestleMania is a buildup for me.

Speaker 9 It's like five or six months ago, I think.

Speaker 3 So it happened before, but I just think that this is stuff, and they could always kind of reverse engineer what they're going for and make things seem more successful than they actually did.

Speaker 3 Like I think John Cena had the most failed heel turn of all time when you consider how it came out of the gates, right? It was a topic of conversation on ESPN well before the deal thing there.

Speaker 3 It was an abject failure. And I think that they're going to try to spin it into Triple H thinking more meta than it actually was.
I'm just not there for it.

Speaker 3 I watch the week-to-week content and you can try to get me there. That's where I am.
I just think it's just another tool in their toolbox where they can work, folks. And I'm not that into it.

Speaker 1 I just didn't realize how produced these matches are.

Speaker 1 I thought it was like, here's how the match will end. Here's your finish.

Speaker 9 I think it used to be like that when you were a kid.

Speaker 1 It's like the hearing of these are the seven moves that we have left. We're going to have to skip these two.
And they're telling the ref.

Speaker 1 And the ref is, while you think the ref is checking on a wrestler, she's really like, oh, you're going to skip. It's just, I'm impressed by it.
That's why, for me, I love it.

Speaker 3 But that's not self-serving, though. For

Speaker 1 that's what I'm asking. I don't know.
Because for me, I love it. But if some 12-year-old sees this, he's going to be like, what?

Speaker 3 Yeah. I mean,

Speaker 3 fans of wrestling who want to just get lost in the entertainment value, I don't think they want all that behind-the-scenes. It could be two audiences, though, to their point.

Speaker 9 I think it's two audiences.

Speaker 4 I don't know how many 12-year-olds are watching any behind-the-scenes, anything about Bazo's kid, maybe.

Speaker 3 If he watched it, I don't know.

Speaker 2 Well, the criticism of the whole thing has been that it's just a vanity project for Triple H to make him look like the mastermind of everything and make him like the Dana White of the WWE.

Speaker 2 So, it's just a date, it's just a make Triple H look good project

Speaker 3 is what it is. That's I mean, it is that.

Speaker 1 He is running the show, yeah.

Speaker 3 But the thing is, he actually isn't because one of the under-reported stories is the very legitimate power struggle that he finds himself in with The Rock, who is got a ton of influence over at TKO.

Speaker 3 And I'm not,

Speaker 3 Triple H, I think, should chill out a little bit. I think we're kind of overdoing this.

Speaker 4 You're overcooking the turkey. Can I ask you if something I saw this weekend was current or not? Because I thought it was funny.

Speaker 3 Go on.

Speaker 4 It was John Cena on a podium behind a microphone, and the reporter asked him, It's good to see you here. And he's like, come on.

Speaker 3 That particular phrasing. You see, Cena, not a fan of how Triple H handled that whole Brock Lesnar thing.

Speaker 3 WWE made the convenient decision to have their post-pay-per-view press conferences no longer open to the media.

Speaker 3 Which it's the right move. Yeah, I mean, those were also a work anyways, kind of too.

Speaker 3 But to make that decision when you don't have to answer questions about Brock Lesnar, and the way that Triple H made it seem is John Cena, you know, gets to make this call.

Speaker 3 Cena was very quick to say, hey. You deal with my play them.
And they had to make a whole big thing where they're like, Nick Kahn and Triple H reached out to Brock Lesnar the very next show.

Speaker 9 On the Brock Lesnar thing, you think they got rid of the press conferences so that they wouldn't have to answer questions about Brock Lesnar?

Speaker 3 I think that's that's the timing.

Speaker 3 They may have gotten rid of it regardless, but I think that that's specifically the timing on the SummerSlam thing, which, by the way, good decision because Triple H has proven time and time again when it comes to these types of situations, he'll say the wrong thing.

Speaker 3 Folks, the leaves are turning. The weather's getting a little chillier.
That means the football games are more important. That means football time should be Miller time.

Speaker 3 Game day hits different with a Miller light in your hand. From jaw-dropping touchdowns to fantasy heartbreaks, my fantasy season's over already, but you know what makes that better? Miller time!
