Intro nothing personal starts in 30 [Music] seconds it's just business this is nothing [Music] personal [Music] Chiefs v. Ravens go so you all knew I was going to do it I wanted to do something totally different all right I'm gonna do that I'm gonna do that without laughing I can do it it's Friday it's Friday 4869 de de toe that's the personal body part of the day it is Friday September 6th 2024 and I think before we start the show we have to take one moment to try to help Matthew Coke he's given up season's over Ravens lose by seven to the Chiefs every penalty goes against the Ravens Lamar can't do the easy stuff only can do the hard stuff they're done it is a rare person that can watch the first half of week one of the football season or have their team lose the first game of the football season and pack it in no Moss so I want to use all of our energy this morning to try to get coka to believe just believe Ted I wonder whether I would have had the gut to tell a player in baseball to wear shoes that were too big for him in order to have a better chance to get to the base faster on a feed first slide or whether I'd have the gumption to tell a football player hey I know your toes are GNA hurt we'll take care of them don't worry it's the least of the issues you'll have when your career's done the alphabet will be the most of your issues new hips new knees but the crinkled toes let's wear shoes that are three sizes too small because then you have a better chance of staying in bounds season started last night ominous sign 20 minutes late thunder lightning clear the stadium God did I not like being in charge during home games just worried about everything back in the pre- roof days so the game kicks off and everyone's excited about the new kickoff rules Touchback I think there were 11 kickoffs last night nine of them were touchbacks two of them were returns and no of the returns made it back to the 30 the NFL is trying to trick you which of course they always do that's what the NFL does it's sort of like a cult I think I'm trying to picture Roger Goodell in a robe with Dixie cups of NFL infused Kool-Aid telling you that these new kickoff rules this is what we're supposed to do it's going to look weird but don't worry we're going to get exciting returns with no traumatic trat brain injuries it's going to be great meanwhile if there's a Touchback you get to the 30 if you return it and you can't make it to the 30 I would think that analytic individuals would say excuse me let's go ahead and not return any kickoffs well that's exciting the season starts it's a kickoff and boom Touchback it'll end up more exciting than that I hope let's talk about the NFL season there are some good storylines that we going to watch the entire year you're being told that the top storyline is the Chiefs it is make no mistake I've decided that uh the minute I saw Taylor Swift walking into Arrowhead in her jeans outfit it occurred to me that what I thought was an oversaturation last season I I had it wrong the NFL is leaning so hard into Kelsey and Swift ignoring the fact that is a bit of an afterthought in the chief's offense now he said if I'm going to be an afterthought then forget it I'm not going to allow that I'm not sure that a tight end has a way to be relevant if plays aren't called its direction and his quarterback doesn't throw his Direction I think he caught like three passes sorry to those of you who may have had under five in the reception part of your parlay so the NFL is clearly leaning in what's over five Koka I don't know what you're talking about well over five of course is what I mean he went under I think everyone got that even on a Friday so why does the NFL want the Chiefs to succeed for all of you conspiracy theorists who believe that the penalties were not called fairly that the NFL does not want the Ravens to win they want the Chiefs they want the Chiefs I've got a surprise for you I'm sorry to tell you you are 100% right it is in the best interest of the Chiefs to make it back to the Super Bowl to show up in New Orleans having Taylor Swift on Bourbon Street it's too good to be true having an opportunity for the Chiefs to three Pete it's too good to be true for Pat Riley having them relevant as long as Kelsey and Swift are together did you see on a total side note it's a Friday and my brain will go wherever I want it to go because it's Friday did you see the leak document on Tik Tok now of course maybe I shouldn't be talking about it because maybe it's not true and there's no way for me to judge whether it's true I guess I could speak to Koka or Sarah but I didn't a document about the pr strategy when Kelsey and Swift break up I think they all denied it but there was a date like September 28th and 22 days there's going to be a break up and they've got their talking points they've got everything else the reason why I know that's not true is there is some sort of deal for sure I'm trying to picture how I would do this deal I would call up the Kelsey's agent and say listen I don't really care if he hates her but no breaking up until after the season you can do it during the off season you can we have too much at stake too many good things are happening I think that's the number one storyline it's not even the Chiefs going for the threee I think it actually is Kelsey and Swift staying together and the importance of that to the NFL and for those of you who don't realize how much money leagues spend on demographic study on trying to get underserved demographics to interact with your game trying to show sponsors hey look at us we can appeal to the following 10 demographics the benefit of the NFL forget Amazon needing the Kelsey to continue to be listened to by swifties who couldn't give a flying rats pituitary gland about what Jason and Travis have to say in order to justify their contract with Amazon wondery their podcasting the heights getting about a 100 Mil please have no illusion how this happened Travis ought ought to be giving Taylor a commission the NF ought to be painta teller for what she's providing to them it is incredibly powerful and measurable they can tell you the number of women's merchandise the amount of women who are watching engaging in the NFL who were not engaging before and it's not a coincidence and the cost of having Kelsey date Swift maybe that'll come out one day whether or not there's any sort of bonus incentives the other story that of course the NFL is going to have you focus on is the team that is the key to anybody with a microphone talking about because everyone loves to love or loves to hate the Dallas Cowboys that is the key when you are looking for subject matter to talk about is you want anything but apathy the Yankees provide that the Cowboys provide Biggest NFL storylines that the storyline that we have to follow is what going to happen with Dak and McCarthy is it dak's last year is it McCarthy's last year what does McCarthy have to do you've seen a bunch of Articles come out that are interesting to me yesterday I read that Stephen Jones Jerry's son is more involved with the Cowboys than he ever has been he's always been involved but he's more involved now the beginning of the transfer of power from Jerry to Steph I will bet you a dollar Mortimer that Stephen Jones will not be the GM of the Cowboys when Jerry Jones either passes away or gives up control of the Cowboys that's for sure Stephen Jones may want to spend less than Jerry Jones people are saying he's not interested in football doesn't care about wins and losses cares about winning uh money instead it's funny when uh I've spoken to a bunch of Sons of owners happen to have been one there is no question that The Passion of the parent does not flow to the child it is extremely rare and I think I figured out why because there's way more pressure on Stephen Jones than there was on Jerry Jones Jerry Jones created value in the Cowboys taking the team from where he bought it you know in the hundreds of millions to now over 10 billion getting 18t Stadium built taking the business of the Cowboys to a level never before seen in a sports team in the world yes in the world not just in the country when you inherit that you are far more focused on on maintenance than growth and the thing is that when you're focused on maintenance you're operating out of fear and then you are definitely subject to contraction growth focus when you're building a business requires the amount of concentration the amount of of innovation that enables you to either binary succeed or fail but sometimes you get more conservative have you ever seen this happens actually in Vegas that the people who gamble the most per bet are the people with less money than the richest people who come in and they bet but their average bet tends to be lower people as they get older when they've got more money tend to gamble less both in their business in their personal life than people who are in their 30s and 40s and in the prime of their careers people tend to get more conservative as they get older but then when you inherit an asset you tend to take that asset and some people say oh we're going to do things that our dad never allowed us to do other people say I'm too scared what the Cowboys will do with that is interesting to me because Jerry Jones has handled this in a way that would give you every indication he has no interest in signing him he's told you he wants to see how they play we talked about that and nothing personal wants to see how Dak plays how the Cowboys play basically letting it be known that McCarthy has to perform in the postseason he's been a regular season winner with the Cowboys but not a postseason winner I'm fascinated to see what happens there I think the last story line that I will focus on has to be Aaron Rogers and the Jets it is shocking to me well no it's actually why would I say that politically Aaron Rogers makes it so people care what he has to say I have never been able to understand why your skill at one thing enables you to somehow have the ability to talk about other things you can talk about them much like I can talk about Myriad subjects and you can choose which parts want to tune out which parts you want to tune in whether or not it gives you something to think about I've always enjoyed when Hollywood stars use their platforms to talk about environment or to talk about economics or to talk about elections or to make you think that somehow without doing the work they've got the ability that's the difference I'll do the work I'll do the research to give you both sides of an issue Aaron Rogers may tell you he does the work I'd like to see picture an Rogers reading books The Way Wesley Snipes and Charlie Sheen and Tom Beringer read books in uh in Major League it was the comic book of Moby Dick that's what I picture with Aaron roggers but the Jets do have expectations for some reason they are minus 175 to make the playoffs they're over under 10 and a half wins I am sort of interested in that because to win the Super Bowl they're only the ninth best at plus 1900 do you not see a scenario where the Jets are barely better than the Giants but the reason why it's a storyline to watch is that the NFL is addicted to Aaron Rodgers despite their protestations of things that he may say or do they are addicted to what he provides because think about it you take the swifties you take the Roger rites and you've got yourself the entire spectrum of America and that is way more important to gell than any sort of and I'm not being taped by O'Keefe Media Group but you don't think that having those two sides of the Horseshoe are way more important than uh focusing yourself on diversity I think it is what about quarterbacks what would you do are are dolphins fans you guys excited everyone excited out there you got Tua the it Factor going out there with the dolphins coach McDaniel he's got his feet wet his hair permed he's ready to roll dolphins are ready to erase the nightmare of the past two decades and show that Stephen Ross knows what he's doing Packers are start tonight in Brazil we're going to talk a little bit more about Brazil later in the show but Packers start with Jordan love they paid him who would you take right now add up does DraftKings do this Koka can you take two teams and add up their wins and versus two other teams and whoever gets more is how you win a bet would you take the Packers plus the Dolphins to equal more than the Bears plus the Texans who would how would that work CJ Stroud Caleb Williams against Jordan love and Tua what interests me of course is that the former two no money the latter two an outrageous amount of money and the question is what do you do when you're running a team you know you've got to win when your quarterback's young that's your only choice very hard to win if your quarterback's not Mahomes but very hard to win with a very expensive quarterback hard to surround him with enough people it's like baseball it's like every sport lest you think that NFL's that different you want to win when your players are pre-arbitration or in the early stages of arbitration it's very hard to have a team full of overpaid free agents it's hard to get that to win when you're paying for past performance so the NFL is going to start let's do some predictions let's do it I wonder whether you figured out any of my predictions so far first of all wait to see when we Predictions tell you something's gonna happen let's do a wait to see right now Koka I had a wait to see way back and I don't know if you remember this it was on uh September 5th of 2024 so forever ago and I told you that the commanders were going to have no choice but to fire their VP of content as a reminder that's the guy who went on the date was recorded go listen to the start of yesterday's show and I told you that the commanders were having a statement that said he's suspended I said they're going to need another statement I don't know why they started with that well it didn't take them a day I wonder how that investigation went he was suspended pending investigation and then they fired him within 24 hours they didn't hire Samson coka at all we would have taken at least a week because we're paid by the day we would have taken at least a week to investigate we would have tried to find out how many dates they' been on what else was said during the date whether or not he could see the camera whether or not he really thought gell was a puppet and that Jones was a racist who was running the league hey I'm just curious do you really think that well the commander some kind I wonder if the investigator who was investigating this was the same one who investigated Dan Snider and only gave an oral report nothing's written it's just oral here's our ear report Dan Snyder bad guy make him sell here's our next report VP content that's code word for I can't remember his name right now otherwise I would have said his name santin that reminds me of Satine from Mulan Rouge so I don't think it's that that's Nicole Kim's character Satine tin yes I was gonna say tin is he in jail yet I didn't get a followup I've not had a followup on Joel oin yet I don't want to yuck on the Yum of him paying the amount of money he paid to do a service at uh our Stadium but I am just curious are have you been caught anyway we got that wa to see right if you can remember it all right let me give you four predictions kok is gonna exit the show right now because he's angry with my predictions because he knows the preseason predictions can never be true and he wants so badly to watch the pompo beach Legacy Lamar Jackson Hoist the Lombardi trophy in a ceremony that will make Roger Goodell cringe I suspect that's what I'm here for I want to see that I want to see Lamar Jackson get the trophy just to see what that would be like it's matter of fact I'll start at the end Koka you can leave now don't leave please don't leave please the Ravens are going to win the Super Bowl that's my prediction the Ravens will beat the lions in the Super Bowl what do you think of that I will do and have done a Mia Copa on Dan Campbell I have a pending wait to see that Dan Campbell will not survive his contract and he has turned around the Lions franchise along with the GM I guess Kay for has allowed them to do their business the lions are an interesting team they took a huge step forward last year I'm feeling like it's an NBA Style thing where you go up in increments I've got the Ravens over the lions in the Super Bowl in New Orleans because I am there for the Lamar Jackson and Dan Campbell press conferences from New Orleans and I am there for the Trophy presentation to Lamar can't wait other predictions all right Jets fans stugots I'm very sorry all the people at the lebatard show I know that it's all about dolphins heat Panthers Marlins highly inter Miami Miami we love you local hour guess what the Jets and dolphins are going to both miss the playoffs people are counting out the bills right now I wonder why is that because because Josh Allen lost a few offensive weapons there's so much pressure on the Jets and Salah to win if Rogers stays healthy there's so much pressure on the Dolphins and Tyreek Hill telling you it's the best Dolphins team he's ever seen we used to love when players would do that is there any way you're willing to just meet the media and say how excited you are for the season the amount of anticipation you have for the season come on will you do it Jets and dolphins missed the playoffs fourth prediction obvious from the first prediction the Chiefs will not become the first team to threee so if I get one well that doesn't mean I get four I can get one and not get four those are my four wait to sees their official wait to sees I started them as predictions but they're actually wait to cease so let's book them as wait to cease Chiefs don't become the first team to three pie the Jets and dolphins miss the playoffs that's wa to see two the Ravens and Lions make the Super Bowl that's wait to see three and the Ravens win the Super Bowl that's way to see for we didn't have to wait long for the nothing personal pick of the day it was an early game between the Diamondbacks and the Giants Blake Snell pitches one inning for the Giants 4 two pitches gives up two runs I'm feeling so good everything's coming NPPOD up roses because I love my Chiefs pick later at night them giving three to the Ravens but I got the Diamondbacks as a dog Diamondbacks are hot Diamondbacks lost Chiefs win that's a one and one night we're 116 and 121 I got a bunch of picks for you this weekend get out your pens get them out let's talk about a couple games let's talk about a couple things going on in baseball let's start with the fact there is a real race going on with the Mets and the Braves right now they have played 140 games and yet there is no difference in their record they are both 76 and 64 the Braves have gotten there with injuries the Mets have gotten there with tough start playing very well as of late one of those teams will not make the playoffs if the Padres and Diamondbacks continue to lead the Wild Card Diamondbacks are a half game back of the Padres they are one and two in the wildcard race it's more fun when there's higher Stakes I love the Mets Braves race because one of those teams loses now of course they could both catch one of the padr and Diamondbacks who could falter here in the last last three weeks of the Season 100% that's possible but let's assume for purposes of this conversation that it's one of the Mets of Braves that means there's going to be a really good team that had World Series expectations that's home in October and of course that happens every single year but when it's your team you're like oh my God never happens terrible I'm going to watch so much I'm going to a concert tonight anyone out there like Bruce Hornsby I do that's just the way it is I like them I want to watch the US Open though and I want to watch the Packers play so how am I G to do that is it past the time where you can pause things and ignore Twitter and then watch it when you get home I've never been able to do that in my day back in my day I used to have to VCR things but I would cheat I'd call 9761 313 I'd find out the winner and then watch the game or if the team didn't lose I'm like screw it I'm not g to watch the game which defeats the whole purpose of taping it and not knowing the results I'd like to watch the Tigers place the A's tonight the Tigers play the A's I love watching good pitching there's something about it if you can watch a little bit of scoble he's the favorite to win the sa young he's like minus 5,000 he is unhitable just fun to watch the Tigers have actually been better this year now that Cabrera's retired I hate to even say that but it's true right now hate to say that AJ hinch has done a good job but he has the front office the tigers are playing the A's who have also not had a terribly disappointing season given their payroll given who they are but we are taking the Tigers over the a they're a pretty heavy favorite but watch him uh scoo ball is hard to hit also tonight we've got the football game in Brazil Jonathan Jones tweeted something yesterday I've known Jonathan we both have done work and do work at CBS Jonathan Jones is brilliant he sent out a tweet yesterday he's an Insider this was a good one he said in Brazil there's a problem with the team hotels the Packers may have to commute one and a half to two hours because of traffic in sou Paulo I want to follow up on this Brazil situation we're GNA take the Packers plus two against the Eagles I have no idea why the Packers are not favored in this game I truly have no idea not withstanding how bad they were in the exhibition game in Denver which of course wasn't any of their players playing I can't believe the players union allowed for a team to stay one and a half to two hours away from the stadium I can't believe it is true the Eagles are at home so the Eagles got to stay at a hotel closer because they're the home team it's as though they're suffering because they're giving up a home game but any home revenue is being made up by the NFL it's not like the eagles are hey man I'm losing a couple Mill here they get paid to go to Brazil the expenses are paid to go to Brazil the charter flight expenses MLB used to do incremental reimbursement sorry Koko we're going to get distracted in the middle of our pick of the day by something that I just thought of that I've never told all of you when we would play international games let's pretend that the Marlins were the road game with the road team playing in New York and instead they moved that series to Puerto Rico and we would tell baseball all right the cost of our flight from Miami to Puerto Rico is $50,000 let's just say and we would say to MLB give us that $50,000 and they would say hold on a minute what is the cost of your flight to New York that you would have to pay for on your own and then what is the cost of your flight to Puerto Rico we'll pay you the difference if flying to Puerto Rico is more expensive than flying to New York that's what I mean by saying they would only pay the incremental expense of the international games now of course let's say you're the Packers instead of flying to Philadelphia they have to fly to sou Paulo and so the NFL would say whatever you're paying to fly to Philadelphia let us know we'll pay the difference only you still got to pay that the Eagles are saying hey man we were at home we're losing every bit of Revenue and then when you miss a home game you charge the corporate sponsor incremental amount this is a good one when you charge the NFL or MLB the money let's say you have 81 home games and you miss three home games because of a series played internationally you take all your corporate sponsorship deals you divide them by 81 and then you times it by three to say this is what our lost revenue is from these lost home games and it's total horaki it's it's not illegal but the theory is this that if you went to your corporate partner and said listen we appreciate the deal that you cut with us for $250,000 behind the plate for a little sign in the top of the fourth inning but I got bad news for you there's only 78 games at home not 81 oh my God give me a refund right now I want 38 first back right now credit me to next year no problem we're going to get the money from MLB do you think MLB went to the corporate sponsors to try to prove hey just out of curiosity anybody cut their payments to you of course nobody Cuts their payments it's funny Sunday picks Cowboys are playing the Browns I think it's safe to say that I may go against the Browns 17 straight times just trying you know I don't root for the Browns you know that I want DeShawn Watson to either not play or to play badly I want that contract and it's not that I have anything personal against Haslam I do think I have something personally against Watson though I've never met him so I'm going to have to really examine whether I do the Cowboys will start their season with a win we are taking the Cowboys plus two and a half versus the Browns and then we're taking the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday why in the hell are we taking the Pittsburgh Pirates here's why it's Corbin day we will not give up Jimmy ve we will never give up we will go against Patrick Corbin every single start for the rest of time and there's probably four more three more four more maybe Pirates over Corbin on Sunday all right we come back we're going to talk about what's going on between Disney and Direct TV there have been some updates since we last covered this and I am going to do something that is the nicest thing I could ever do for anyone it is the most selfless thing you can do I'm about to save you time how nice is that we'll be right Review: Borderlands back hello everybody it is Friday September 6 2024 if you're watching this DraftKings Network it's about 10:33 if you're watching this on the nothing person

50 minutes 250 minutes of your life you give me every every week that's two and a half hours thank you I appreciate you I'm about to make it all pay off sat down yesterday to watch a movie which I do every day 19 $.99 so I took a lighter that I've used from time to time when I don't mind things smelling and I took out a $20 bill and I kept it right next to the couch where I was sitting I spent 1999 to watch Borderlands because a I like Kevin Hart I admit it B I love capelan shett I admit that too Borderlands is a new movie based on a video game for some reason it's about some weird futuristic world or planet called Pandora how come every planet has to be called Pandora it doesn't look like a box and then there's a girl they've got it saved then there's a bad guy and you don't know who's real who's not real there's fight scenes there's guns that never have to be reloaded it's some sort of video game that I've never played I finished finished watching the movie it's been about an hour and 40 minutes it took me 191 minutes to watch yes I was keeping track three hours and 11 minutes why I got up I was on my phone I had some food I went to the bathroom I should have taken I should have gone running I couldn't sit still not like the whole restless leg syndrome that afflicts me about five out of seven nights not that I'm more talking about I couldn't stand to watch another minute I sort of covered my head covered my eyes and then when the movie was done I took the lighter I took the $20 bill and I rolled it up and then lit it on fire you're welcome you do not have to ever see that movie I want an apology from capelan shett for somehow choosing this movie to do nah she probably got paid no apology necessary apologies are interesting to me in the World of Sports business they are very hard to come by companies would rather play the blame Disney problems game then the apology game there is a blame game going on right now that makes me smile ESPN and Disney are fighting with Direct TV covered it earlier in the week and I told you I thought by Monday night that the dispute would be over I'm quite concerned about that wait to see because there has been an effort this past week since Monday to get consumers to somehow side with one side or the other who do you side with in a Disney Direct TV dispute you're upset with Direct TV stugots cancelled Direct TV how dare you Direct TV not give ESPN and Disney what they want no one says no to John Skipper how dare you ESPN demand that Direct TV pay you when you know Direct TV's business model has changed you know Direct TV is bleeding subscribers hand over fooot you know that having different tiers makes it more difficult that Direct TV has to Prov provide value for people with Direct TV or people are going to cut the dish here's what we're going to do we're going to come up with new statements every single day and these statements are going to be totally mfing the other side and we're going to do it in the framework of you're not thinking about the consumer we are and then of course the other side says you're not thinking about the consumer we are is it possible that both sides sides have only the consumer in mind Direct TV's CFO came out with a quote we're not playing a short-term game we need something that's going to work for the long-term sustainability of our video customers that was very nice of him I like that trying to explain why this is not your run-of-the-mill dispute anymore Carpenter did this on a on a call with financial analysts financial analyst from Wall Street and make no mistake these companies when they go through these Carriage disputes this is not about you the consumer or the customer this is about you the stockholder now if they would say that in their statements I would have great respect for it we are standing Pat we are not going to give because we think it will have a dilit terious impact on our stock price and we know so many of you own shares of stock don't you want our stock price to go up up up even if you're opportunities to watch things go down down down do you think stug got's own shares in his vast wealth of AT&T or Disney stock maybe maybe not maybe they're not even thinking of it that way but guess what Ray Carpenter the CFO Direct TV sure as hell is thinking of it that way when he's sitting with the financial analyst do you think that he's trying to convince the financial analyst hey trust me trust me this is about the consumer and the customer hell no he's sitting with the financial analyst of Wall Street firms ins saying just so you know we're doing this because this is the smart business move and if we don't do this why would we ever make a bad deal that would have a negative impact on our earnings per share and therefore on our stock price we'd never do it I like that of course Jimmy pataro the chairman of ESPN has a different view he said that with Direct TV there's no vision no plan has been put in front of us he went on CNBC to say that there's been some name calling that's their tactic that's their playbook I guess that is the tactic name calling never works if if you find yourself name calling in an argument or swearing in an argument you've lost I love doing these arguments against people these debates against people oh you don't know crap you tanked the expose on purpose you bastard all right let's argue oh 107 just kidding Ariel I love you man by the way congratulations Ariel helwani pay attention pay attention to what Ariel helwani has done pay very close attention to what he's done talk about his success story talk about building your business vertically talking about how to figure it out hm I wonder where that's something other people could do with other shows as their core I'll have to give that thought over the weekend so here's the thing with Disney it's not g to end Monday the way I thought but I can't take away the waight to see what I'd like you to look for as we continue to follow this Carriage dispute is whether or not over the weekend as we hit the US Open finals as we hit the Jets 49ers game if the dispute lasts through Monday I don't think anyone's been able to last more than two weeks without with one of these disputes happening with the NFL happening but let's just see if it continues whether or not there's a different tone in the statements because how long can they keep telling you it's about the consumer and the customer how long does that last before your PR people say listen do us a favor iay on the AER K cuz no one airs a flying rats uary pay land gay this show has been coming to you here's something you did not know I'm not really here today this is not live I don't have a newspaper to show you but if I did I would today is not September 6th and it is not 8:43 a.m. ESPN A.I. eastern I am not wearing a red and blue check shirt or a blue blazer that was all lined up on the left side of various places in the closet the reason I know it's not 843 is that I'm AI this is not my voice wait let's look I don't think you can see that it really is 8 43 did you think there was a chance do you think there'll come a time when I could do the show like from a beach except I could pretend that I'm wearing a Blazer and a shirt that I'm sitting in the glove chair ESPN came out yesterday and wanted you to know hey we're starting to use AI to write game recaps we're going to give you game recaps for lacrosse we're g to give you game recaps for women's soccer are you guys good with that and some people are like are you kidding me that's it human beings are finished AI is taken over and then ESPN said I'm sorry hold on there must have been a misunderstanding Phil Collins the misunderstanding is that we weren't doing these game recaps there were there was no coverage like this so we're trying to be additive because we care about you the customer and we want to give you value when you're going to pay for DTC and all the plus streaming says we want to give you up to the second great game recaps and don't worry don't you worry we're going to have real life human beings checking the AI game recaps which of course dtp defeats the purpose I gotta pay someone to read what the AI person does to make sure the AI person does it right and so that means that the person checking has to really check to see who won the game who had did what in the game to make sure the recap was done correctly raise your hand if you agree that the person in charge of that after the first three days is GNA say ah it's good boom post it ESPN wanted to make sure you knew that the AI generated Recaps will augment existing coverage not replace it it's a very good point if you think about it why wouldn't you want if your ESPN or any any paper of any kind this used to happen people get so freaked out about AI did you know paper used to share stories and share by lines wait a minute is that what the AP is when there's an entire group of people who actually do things and it gets shared at papers that's what the Associated Press does now could the AI take over for the Associated Press it's not going to happen don't worry I think it's outstanding that ESPN and Jimmy pataro that they're thinking this way if you're not thinking about how to use AI technology to benefit the people who pay you money to do the things you do because they don't want to do it themselves why can't someone just go on Google hey give me the recap of the nwsl game and then boom the recap comes that's that's true but isn't it easier to go to ESPN Plus or espn.com and go to the app and see the game story about the game your interest and press click saves you unless there's new invention that comes maybe that's going to happen if I think it it comes into being that would be amazing except I have to make sure I'm not around people too often because if everything that you think would actually happen in real time I would say there' be a lot of embarrassing moments and a bunch of lawsuits but that said maybe that's what's next for AI you don't have to say it or type it or prompt it can just think it and then you'll get the game recap I love that ESPN's doing this and if you think they're not doing more of it then you are 100% incorrect you better start embracing Ai and hoping that there are really smart people which there are figuring out ways to properly harness it in order to provide value to you because at the end of the day when you get picked up by an Uber do you need it to be a person do you want to talk to your Uber driver or do you want to get from point A to pointb hey de deportation that's not the word what's the word Coke on Star Trek when you're one place and then you're another I can't think of the word right now but it's it's where you like Bewitched teleportation yes C two minutes to go and you're on the case you're over my Super Bowl prediction if you could teleport from one place to the other are you going to raise your hand and go to Washington to Capitol Hill and say listen I just want you to know I am so upset about the loss of jobs for people who drive cars and taxis and planes that I think it's outrageous that we found a way to teleport where I can get myself down to Florida with the blink of an eye it's outrageous we cannot have that we you better start embracing this progress It's happening don't you want to get your content if there were a way that you could get information in a more efficient faster way or better information people are upset with Google for the AI generated when Google looks at the 700,000 responses to what you Google they come up with the best ones in a matter of a millisecond and they give you the info ah no I'm not going to trust it I'm not going to read the first part of my Google search AI generated I'm going to go deeper I'm going to call Pablo Tori see if he can find out the answer to who won Super Bowl 24 come on let's be realistic about how this is actually going to go and if you've got a company like ESPN who's willing to give you Recaps in sports that they haven't done it before and you don't realize that that's the tiny tip of the AI iberg it's like saying oh we're done with jat GPT because students are using it for plagiarism M they're using it to cheat chat GPT can't be good for anything are you a late adopter to Siri you upset the fact that oh someone's listening people used to say my phone's listening yeah because when you want something don't you want it to be given to you I'm trying to figure out where to stay on my trip to Puerto Rico when I go with the team wow there's all of a sudden an add on Instagram for a great hotel in Puerto Rico that doesn't sound helpful to me keep your eye on the ball folks this is now this isn't some sort of thing that we're pondering could be happening it's all done for efficiency this is like a dream for me maximum efficiency minimum effort and outstanding results I'm striving for that it's just business have your your a safe good weekend let's be careful out there we'll be back Monday this is nothing personal [Music]
