Chapter 1: Why are fans upset about Yankees Opening Day on Netflix?
There's been so much of this energy directed towards Netflix having this game that is surprising to me. And I even heard Al open up the warm-up show today talking about a Yankee fan account that said opening day is sacred and it needs to be on the local RSNs and then mess with all the streaming services throughout the rest of the year. But I know more people today...
that had cut the cord and have Netflix and then went and got whatever MLB app now is having you pay for your local team or the Gotham Sports app or whatever. More people that do that that have Netflix that are sitting around doing the RSN, Regional Sports Network, deal. So I don't believe there's going to be many Yankee fans.
anywhere in the country that are going to be flustered by this game being on Netflix.
I mean, there could be a number of fans that don't have Netflix, can't afford it, whatever. I don't know if they're showing it for free or not. But Netflix is cheaper than cable. I know, I know, but it's... It's basically not TV as we knew TV. It's appointment TV for movies and shows. Yeah.
And now they're getting into live sports just to make themselves a little bit more relevant, which I think is smart. And they lost a deal with Warner Brothers, so here we go. So now they're going to try to spend some money in this ā In this vein, the one thing I will say about all these streaming services, when they do go into this, they don't go into it with novices.
They bring in the people that know the sport, that know how to shoot the sport from a director's standpoint and to talk about the sport from the announcer's standpoint. They may add a few different people.
variables in there to enhance what they believe is the entertainment around the sport but once the game starts it's going to be people that we know voices that we know and they and listen cc sabathia in the booth tonight
Yeah.
That's going to be great.

Chapter 2: How do streaming services affect local sports broadcasting?
So that's going to be great. And they got, you know, one guy, they got Hunter Pence from the Giants. They got CeCe from the Yankees. And it'll be fine. I mean, there's been some of these broadcasts that have been, especially Major League Baseball, where they've had a couple of issues, like whether it be... The Roku games. They have issues with Roku games.
And then also the Apple TV Friday night broadcast that they had that was horrendous. And they had issues with Peacock early on as well, like 11 a.m. games. MLB is one of the ones, as compared to the other leagues, that's confused their fans the most. Probably because... There's so many games. There's 162 games, and they end up on all these different streaming services.
You've got the Apple game. You've got the Prime video game. Now you've got the Netflix game. It's the same thing.
I mean, the Yankees are on all of them now, but I think when it comes to Netflix, Netflix is the most common of all of them. Or Prime Video. Yeah, because people have Prime.
But I feel like Prime Video... I think Apple TV has probably... I'm guessing. I don't know any of this. I'm just thinking off the top of my head. I'm thinking that Apple TV has slipped a little bit. I'm thinking that Fubo is slipping. Really? I do. Why is that? I just feel like it is. I just feel like it's going by the wayside. It's going to get gobbled up by these other behemoths.
And the RSNs are having... Obviously, we know about all the trouble with them. Now, this is one of the reasons why the Gotham app is because of MSG and Yes coming together. Right. It's just... Nobody really knows where this thing is going to end. Let's put it that way. I think it's all trending towards streaming, and it's all going to be that way.
But where are you going to get the things that you want to get, and how much is it going to cost?
Yeah, that is true. And it's been going on for years now, and no one's really figured out the perfect situation. I'm pretty happy with my situation. But then again, I do have... We... get a code for streaming from MLB because we're in the media that not everybody gets, and that's a huge deal.
So I know that not everybody gets that thing with the blackout restrictions, but I know they're allowing you now, I believe, at least allowing you now to pay MLB is extra to get the blackout off the streaming of MLB.com. Isn't that correct, that you're allowed to do that this year?

Chapter 3: What challenges do streaming services face in sports broadcasting?
If I told you Seth Rogen was in the studio, would you know that? No, I wouldn't know that. Right. Let's see. If I told you, Jesus, and I wish I could give credit to this podcast because they did this and I'm just sort of regurgitating it. But if I told you Matthew McConaughey was in the lost bus, I've seen that advertised somewhere.
Okay. All right.
Wasn't it microdosing that did this? I'm not sure. That's like the PFT and a bunch of other bars. It might have been. It might have been. It was definitely a barstool podcast. So if it is microdosing, there's the credit. And when I saw this, I was like, this is amazing. Absolutely amazing. Let's see if I can find one more. If I told you Idris Elba, who has won an Oscar, was in Hijack.
Yes, I know that one.
Oh, you know that one.
Right. Okay. Okay. I actually watched Franklin.
Franklin?
Yeah. What's that? With Michael Douglas.
Okay. This might be the biggest one. If I told you Tom Hanks, the Tom Hanks, Forrest Gump, Castaway, all of them, if I told you Tom Hanks was in Greyhound, would you know it?

I watched Silo. I watched part of that.
I told you Gary Oldman was in Slow Horses. I didn't know that. There's so many freaking shows. Yes. God. Jason Momoa. You know him? Yes, I know him, yep. He's in something called C-S-E-E?
