There are a bunch of examples. I guess prison Break
(00:45):
was one. People are saying they liked high Town. Someone's
saying that they kept their Star subscription only for high Town.
And then there was the one person who watched it.
They listened to us two Cobra Kai. Netflix bought that
from YouTube Netflix did that with Manifest, but they have
asked it. I rested development got New Life. Lucifer was
(01:07):
another example. Okay, so it does happen where a show
doesn't necessarily do as well the first time around, and
then it gets popular on Netflix and then they make
more episodes.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
They should make more episodes of this show.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
A little cheesy, like I couldn't tell you ever watch
a show and you're like, sometimes I'm like, this is
really really well done, and then then I'm like, okay,
but that was a lot of fake blood, you know
what I mean. Like I'm like, I am like, hold on, no,
wait a minute. Did the same person direct this episode
that directed the other way? Like I'm like, wow, this
is phenomenal acting like at times and then the other
(01:39):
time like this is really bad.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
But I watched it. I watched him, but I was
very sad to learn.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Or have you ever had the disappointment of watching a
series and you didn't realize that you were on the
last episode and then it's just over.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Yes, that's devastating. It's devastating.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
So now I look to see the only problem with
looking to see how many episodes are left is then
you kind of but then you kind of know that
they're about to wrap up the story or like the.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Screen grab is something that's a spoiler. I hate when
they do that. Oh that's not good either.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Yeah, but I've done that where I'm like, okay, good,
you know whatever, and I'm watching it. I'm having a
nice time, and I'll get a bunch of episode. I'm
into this show, like I know what I'm gonna do
the next couple of days, and then oh we're out
of episodes. That was it, and then in this case,
there won't be anymore. It's very upsetting. Anyway, I'm gonna
start a high town. We're gonna have like a little
group and we're gonna maybe we'll do like a discord
(02:29):
or something, and we're gonna all get in there and
it probably already is one, and we're going to talk
about all of our theories of what could have happened
and what would have happened. And then I'm going to
look up all the actors on social media and I'm
going to DM them and ask them what they think
should have happened.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
It's gonna be great.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
What's a discord? I don't I don't actually know. I
think it's a chat room. I see people talk about it.
I'm not a member of any disc I think it's
like a private chat room kind.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Of thing, yea.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
And to get an invite to join people's discords, and
then it's like you can make different subject titles, so
like you could talk about like what you like eating,
what you're watching, like whatever. But no, no, it's free,
but you had to be like invited in kind of
so I'd take a little chat room kind of thing.
But I thought, you know, I thought that was it
seemed like the right time to use the discord.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Yeah, no, I think you used it right. I just
don't get it.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
But to get in there headlines, guys, I got a
couple sad ones to start. Unfortunately, a gunman killed at
least four people in a Manhattan office building on Monday evening.
One of them was an off duty New York City
Police officers, shot while exchanging fire with the shooter in
the lobby. The suspect then disappeared into the skyscraper and
was found later with the self inflicted gunshot wound. The
Park Avenue building houses the offices of some major financial firms,
(03:35):
as well as the National Football League. Security footage showed
a gunman walking outside the building carrying a long gun
before the shooting began.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
And for our.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Chicago fans and for baseball fans everywhere on Monday, the
Cubs lost one of its all time great sports icons
the Chicago community too. Chicago Cubs legend Ryan Samberg, he
passed away at the age of sixty five. According to
the franchise, he died in hospice care following copulation complications
in his ongoing battle with prostate cancer. The news comes
(04:06):
after Samberg announced his prostate cancer had relapsed and spread
throughout his body in December of twenty twenty four. That
guy was all over all over town, very involved with
the Cubs and all kinds of different organizations, an amazing
ambassador for the Cubs and for the city and for
baseball and the NFL legend and University of Colorado football
coach Dean Sanders.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
This is a little bit better news.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
He said he beat cancer after undergoing the full removal
of his bladder in May. He said that he will
continue to coach to seize him, including the season opener
against Georgia Tech. The fifty seven year old former NFL
and college star appeared yesterday in a press conference with
his doctor, who said they removed the bladder and worked
on the insertion of a new bladder, and I am
(04:47):
pleased to report that the results in the surgery are
that he has cured from cancer. He said that he
was diagnosed with bladder cancer during a health checkup. This
spring to everybody, at least for the story number two,
number three. Go to the doctor and get checked on
regularly so you can catch this stuff early. Hopefully this
is for you, Paulina. The death of Hulk Hogan might
(05:09):
mean the death of Hooters. Wait, wait, the two things
are connected. As if Hulk Hogan's passing wasn't wasn't shocking
and sad enough. Now you're talking about how he could
have saved Hooters and it may not happen now. A
few months before his death, wrestling icon Hulk Hogan's beer brand,
Real American Beer, was in talks to acquire Hooters intellectual
property as part of the Change Chapter eleven bankruptcy restructuring.
(05:30):
Rather than taking over the restaurants, he aimed to license
the Hooters name for branded products, digital content, gaming, and
consumer experiences. The deal was seen as a way to
preserve and modernize the beloved American brand while expanding Hogan's
growing lifestyle portfolio. However, legal and financial hurdles, including liquor laws,
borrowing alcohol brands from owning restaurants, and potential resistance from
(05:52):
Hooters creditors made the acquisition uncertain. Paulina, this is where
you step in with all of your millions that you
got from being the biggest to invest in ploye and
iHeart radio.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Well my free tolls for the business, and the one
step as wall step in right now. Now is the
time you can save Hooters. You can do it. I've
been thinking about it because someone's.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Got to do it.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
And if it's not me, then who you know?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
And here's the thing too, Like everyone talked about nostalgia,
all these things they want to just soak up in it.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Why don't we just do that with Hooters.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Why don't we all collectively come together society and save
Hooters because that'll save us. Let's save Hooters and then
all go there and watch the new seasons of high
Town that are going to be made. Because I'm gonna
say that this is amazing, this is amazing.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
We can collab.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
We've done him. So this is a strange story Las
Vegas and a lot of sports stories this morning. But
Las Vegas Raiders star Christian Wilkins was released from the
team after an unfortunate kissing incident in the team's locker room.
Witness said that the kiss was on the head. It
was playful, but the unnamed recipient took offense to the
act and then reported.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Him to human resources.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
So NFL players are subject to human resources, which is
a little while. I mean, of course they are their
employees and it's an organization shodn't but okay. ESPN clarified
that the football player's release on the team was not
entirely due to the kiss. A foot injury from last
October also held the defensive tackler back. The dispute stem
from the Raiders team requiring him to undergo a second
(07:13):
surgery for his injury, but he failed to do so.
He joined the team in twenty twenty four, signed a
four year contract one hundred and ten million dollars eighty
four million guaranteed. Party from the team has cost him
the remainder of his contract, with about thirty five point
two effectively voided.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
But he'll be okay. But he kissed a guy on
the head and got fired from the NFL. Wow, I didn't.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
I honestly didn't know you could do that, believe or not,
based on everything I know about you know the stories
in the NFL over the past few years, I didn't
realize that your behavior would actually get you kicked off
the team. Of all of all the things that have
happened a lot of things. You kiss someone on the forehead,
you kicked off the team. But the other stuff you
can do, you can do a lot of stuff you're
not supposed to do. Famous Yetti's pet said Wisconsin mistakenly
(07:59):
used TAHD infused cooking oil last October and it left
eighty five diners ages one to ninety one, buzz dizzy
and hallucinating. Three people went to the hospital. Police seemed
it an accident, and the shop has since Titan storage
and apologized. I don't know what they got a hold
vat of THHD cooking oil for, And I guess I'm
surprised you don't get in more trouble for that. But
(08:21):
can you imagine if you didn't know that you were
consuming THHD and then you got high kissing like if
you knew, then I guess you might, you would expect it,
but if you're ninety one years old, like, is this
the end?
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Is this? It?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Is it happening now right this second? And a fifty
four year old Texas man named Fritz. He mocked law
enforcement on Facebook, calling outstanding arrest warrants the adult version
of hide and seek. And less than ten days later,
what do you think happened? They raided his house, found
him and arrested him on charges of fraud and theft.
No word and if he tagged his location in the post,
(08:55):
This guy Fritz over here reminds me a little bit
of like if my mom tried to taunt police on facebok,
book or Instagram. I love my mom and she's a
very smart lady, but I'm finding that her tech skills
are really sort of slipping and she doesn't really know
who she's dming or who she's commenting on and if
it's public or private. So I would encourage, you know,
(09:15):
some of you who may not be as sharp technically,
you know, as it comes to new technology, don't mock
the police using social media because it turns out, whether
you tag yourself or not, they can probably go deep
to dig in there and do whatever they gotta do,
or you know, or maybe they look at your background
and makes you the sign you know, or like with
your address on it or something, and they're like, hmm,
I bet he's at his house.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
But isn't this a tale so old as time?
Speaker 2 (09:37):
People taunt the police on the internet and then they
get arrested days later. Further warrants were issued after evidence
was found during the search. He is currently being held
in jail on twelve thousand dollars bond. It's National Chicken
Wing Day. There you go, save Hooters. Today's the day,
yes nay, National Lasania Day. Today is well. The entertainment
of port is next.
This is the press show.
