Speaker 1 (00:00):
Things we need to know.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Uber says they're making a big change that could make
your life a lot easier. They're going to roll out
taxi style kiosks so people without the app, especially travelers,
can still order ride. So the first one actually is
gonna go into the airport in New York City, with
more hitting hotels and ports and airports soon. They say,
you just punch in your destination, pick your ride, and
then get like a paper receipt. And they say this
(00:22):
will be super clutch for international travelers who either maybe
don't have the app or don't have data on their
phone and don't want to use their phones for such things.
Hollywood is in a full on bidding war right now.
So Netflix threw down around eighty three billion dollars to
buy Warner Brothers Studios and streaming a paramount. Then stepped
into the chat with a one hundred and eight billion
(00:43):
dollar all cash bid for everything including cable networks and whatnot.
And they're telling shareholders Netflix's deals probably gonna get blocked
for creating a streaming monopoly and apparently it's really messy.
They're like, hostile takeover is what they're coming on.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Yeah, that's what hostile go offer. I wonder why are
they're fighting over, Like, if you're Netflix, why not just
be Netflix? Like why do you want access to all
these other things?
Speaker 2 (01:07):
I mean, whoever walks away walks away with like the
Harry Potter franchise, the DC franchise, HBO. So there's a
lot of good stuff at stake here that I think
any company would probably love to acquire.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
I didn't know the DC stuff was in there.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Yeah, so it's kind of a big deal. It's turned
into massive showdown billions and bragging rides on the line
here and we'll have to wait and see what happens.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Talks of monopolies, you ever watched or know the story
of the guy that started Netflix. It was like these
two dudes like in Seattle, and they were just like
mailing DVDs and they were like they tried, they timed.
They what if you mail a DVD and he would
mail a DVD and he'd go to the post officely
how long it took to get it took three days?
And now they have this like a billion dollar company
and so crazy.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
It's same thing, like the same thing how like Amazon
morphed from Like I mean, they were just all books
out of the faces this garage right at first. Yeah,
it's definitely definitely kind of crazy, also kind of crazy.
You know. It's towards the end of the year they
always come out with like the list of like this
happens the most this year. I found this one fascinating.
So they found that Americans dropped as staggering two point
(02:09):
six billion dollars on OnlyFans this year. They said cities
like Atlanta and Orlando spent the most per person. Miami, Seattle,
and DC were also like huge hotspots. But two point
six billion dollars equals huge incomes for creators and big
conversations online that we've seen over and over again with
OnlyFans specifically either way. I mean, it's hard to deny
(02:31):
it's clearly part of everyday life now if Americans are
spending collectively that much money.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Did you see you know how Spotify and iHeart and
they do the year end the wrap up. Pornhub did
the same thing. And I'm trying to see if there's
a I'm building a game around it, but I don't
have access to it because you don't have it and
you can't get to it in Arizona. So I'm trying to.
I saw it in the news that had said that
Pornhub did their top ten wrap up of the year,
(02:56):
and I was like, oh, what would it is? Would
be themes that people can get on and a own.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Maybe you can chutch your pettia.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
And I found another site that posted it. Believe me,
I have a game on. Three together, we will stay too.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
And that's three things
Speaker 1 (03:09):
