What podcast reviewer 37 describes as an indiscriminate hellish ride that I would not wish on my worst enemy.
The industry's elite have said time and again, man, fuck those guys.
Get ready if your ears had butts, they'd about to be fucked.
Welcome to the Butt Fuck Nowhere Show.
Yep, that's right. Fuck these guys.
Fuck them up their stupid asses. Love, Jay and Silent Bob.
Oh yeah, man. They did tell us that one day.
Oh no, it's something something Wampa won.
The account that yeah, fuck Jay and Silent Bob, they're stupid asses.
Anyways, my name is Josh. Here David Good buddy Adam.
Yes. This is the old Butt Fuck Nowhere Show.
Old Butt Fuck Nowhere Show.
Yeah, we're going to talk about, well, this is a Dear Netflix.
This is like a letter to Netflix.
It's a John Deere.
A John, a Dear John letter, but it's Dear Netflix because fuck you Netflix.
But anyways, before we get into that, if you want to follow us on social media,

Anyways, all right.
I. Why you got to fucking ruin everything, Netflix?
Why you got to fuck shit up? Why can't you just stay in your lane?
Listen, we were OK with the price slowly creeping up back to being cable for Netflix.
All right. We were OK. We weren't saying shit.
We were getting some decent shows.
We're getting some exclusive movies.
Now you guys want to fuck around and get into live sports.
What's the current price of Netflix at this moment for a family family family plan?
I don't even know because it charges me every fucking month without my knowledge.
So I have no idea what it is and not like I have a choice.
You think it's thirty dollars? I think it's twenty seven ninety nine.
I think Netflix price family plan thirty dollars.
OK, so ad supported. Where's the price? Premium.
What's the premium? Premium. Oh, pricing. Twenty two ninety nine a month.
All right. That's terrible.
Extra member slots can be added for seven ninety nine a month.
Oh, that's how they get. So that's how they get you.
You only get you can watch on four devices at a time.
The Netflix. You can add two extra members who don't live with you.
Oh, wait a minute. I thought they were getting rid of that.
That was the whole fucking thing.
And they must have backed off because everybody got mad.
Man, Joni is going to get him.
The man, the man, Joni Boogieman. Yeah, it's going to come from the Netflix CEO.
Anyways, so that's what you're looking at right now. Twenty two ninety nine a month for fucking Netflix.
OK. Why are we why are we fucking about into live sports?
OK, because they got to open themselves up to everything. They don't.
They absolutely don't. And I'll tell you, they have proven now on two occasions that they suck balls at it.
The fucking Jake Paul, Mike Tyson fight was literal AIDS.
It was. And I'm not just saying the fight was AIDS or anything, because the pay per view itself, the actual boxing, we're not talking about that.
We're talking about the production of it.
The Netflix run and Netflix, I don't know, infrastructure supported production was just ass.
It was terrible. Buffering issues all the time. Quality issues.
Hell, if you could, there were some people that if you could watch it, you were only getting in like a pixelated for 80 P like.
That's terrible. And when you're paying for the premium, twenty two ninety nine, you should not have a fucking problem.
All right. You should have no fucking issues getting it.
Now, I didn't watch it at my house. I watched it at someone else's house.
And just because we happen to be there when this was going up and be already have previously been planned to go over there.
So I like I don't know what their Internet situation is. We experienced these issues.
It wasn't as bad as some other people, because I saw videos of people experiencing horrific issues and a lot of people not even being able to get into the broadcast of it.
Like you click in to watch it and it would just be like, oh, this is unavailable right now.
Or it would just be like black and you'd have to back out and keep trying to get in.
That is rather surprising for as big of a company as Netflix is. And I don't even know if this is like a server issue,
but they don't have enough servers to have people to get into the to the streams and everything.
It's just bottlenecking everybody like the traffic demand is the traffic is so much that it's bottlenecking fucking everything.
Therefore, the bandwidth to like get the service or the the stream fed to you.
It's like it's damn near impossible. Right. And.
I've watched OK, so then we just had this Christmas Day fucking football extravaganza on Netflix, right?
That broadcast was not much better. Now, I I watched it.
I didn't experience any major issues with there were a couple of times where I lost fucking 4K or whatever.
And I went down to like some kind of weird ass pixelated fucking 720p a couple of times.
But then it brought itself back up. So there were those issues.
I didn't have any issues getting in or staying on it at all.
But with the production itself, I mean, there were plenty of fuck ups within this entire live production.
I mean, there would be somebody talking about I forget who the fuck it was,
but whoever the female like sideline reporter that they had or whatever, she was like in the middle of talking.
And then it just cuts to like an ad read for some bullshit. I don't know what it was.
But I'm like, what the fuck is going on here?
And there was a lot of times where the cuts to shit was all fucking wonky and like weird looking.
So I don't know if that's a.
Netflix doesn't really know how to do what they're putting together this new crew to do live television events.
And. My hopes are not high now for the Monday Night Raw coming to Netflix, which is going to be live because.
And I'm not concerned about the production portion because the WWE handles all that on their own.
They have their own production crews. They do everything in-house themselves.
So they know what the fuck they're doing. That's going to be nothing new for them doing live television.
They do it every they do it fucking three times a week or whatever, four times a week, fucking 52 weeks out of the year.
So they know what the fuck to do.
My concern with it is the bandwidth issue on the server issue on Netflix's end because.
Assuming that's it. Well, assuming that's it or whatever it is, the capability of the app, whatever the capability is, who the fuck knows what the problem actually is.
But at the end of the day.
I don't they did not learn from the previous issue.
And. I don't think and listen, I don't think that there was as much I don't have the data, so I can't I couldn't tell you this, but like I feel like the Jake Paul fight.
Had more viewers than the NFL got on fucking Netflix.
I feel like that's probably true.
And so that would explain why there probably weren't as many.
Buffering issues or issues with people getting in.
I mean, I did see people had some of those, I guess, and I didn't experience it, but maybe that could be the issue.
The reason why is because there were less people.
I think personally that the Monday Night Raw on Netflix is going to draw more fucking views than both of those things.
So.
I don't know. I think it's going to just end up being bad.
And again, if we watch like HBO Max, right, if you can watch NFL on Max, you can watch NFL on Peacock.
And that seems to work fine all the time. I mean, I don't really generally have issues watching it on there.
So. I don't know what the fucking problem is and why Netflix doing it.
Netflix just fuck off and stay in your lane.
Stop trying to be a fucking television network.
And that's we've got Netflix, right?
You've got Hulu. Cool.
Hulu is like an aggregate for all the fucking network television shit.
Hulu is essentially like a case. It's like DirecTV or Spectrum, right?
Like it's like they're like a host for all the fucking shit.
It's like a network, a cable provider.
Now, Netflix, just fucking stay in your lane.
You don't need to become that.
Yes, you can keep putting out shows and you can keep doing shit like that.
That's fine. You're making that shit yourself. Cool.
You guys do a pretty decent job with that. Keep it up.
Sure. We're cool with paying these prices.
But if getting all this shit, which I know the Netflix price is going to go up to at least $30 next year, for sure.
I'm sure. I'm sure of it because of the again, they paid whatever fucking billions of dollars for this WWE rights.
They got to make up their money. And also for the is that is that like a contract they're paying to have X amount of games?
It was just it was just for the two day. The two would they have two games? I think. Yeah.
It was just the two Christmas day games. That's all they got.
And now next year, I think they're getting the two Christmas day games and they're getting maybe something else.
That is a man. If you if you had any idea that.
The football.
But the football league is going to downward spiral is fragmenting the sport over numerous services.
Yeah. That how are people going to watch their favorite team if they don't want to pay for those services?
Yeah. Now I got to now I got to have again, instead of me just getting cable.
And paying one hundred and ten dollars a month.
Now I got to pay two hundred and fifty to have all the streaming services so I can watch the games or I can pay fucking what is it?
Four hundred dollars for fucking NFL Sunday ticket on YouTube now.
It's not even not even fucking worth it.
It's not. It's really not. So.
This is going to hurt fucking football. Oh, I hope it does, because I don't fuck with football anymore at all.
Yeah, I agree. I hope it fucking hurts him like a motherfucker.
And I hope they learn the days.
And this is the thing, man, I feel like they're applying the older method of broadcast rights to this new Internet thing,
because I still don't think that the people that are at the top in these in these networks and at like the NFL,
I don't I still don't think they quite understand.
This stuff like the streaming and all that shit, I don't think they get it.
And I don't think that that's something that they understand is like, well, yeah, sure, we're bringing in all this money because peacocks paying us fucking five million dollars to have it on their fucking foxes paying us 20 million dollars.
Netflix just paid us five million dollars to have two games like cool.
We're just we're bringing in all this money, but like.
Your viewership is going to start dropping because some point, yes, because you're fragmenting it.
Yeah. So honestly, I don't know why the NFL at this point doesn't just tell everybody to fuck themselves.
And really, the one who got it earliest in terms of sports was the WWE by making the WWE Network.
That shit was amazing. That shit was amazing. You got all the old shit.
You got all of the current pay per views, and it was nine ninety nine a month.
Why doesn't the NFL?
Just fucking make the NFL Network and make it an app as these contracts are expiring for television rights deals.
Just let them expire. Keep the NFL off of network television or maybe just throw them a bone and maybe have co sell the rights to CBS.
ABC and fucking Fox, if you want to keep those assholes involved, sell it to them for a few million.
And then just be like, oh, by the way, everything's also going on the NFL Network.
And guess what, everybody, you can subscribe to the NFL Network for it's just nine ninety nine a month.
That would open them up to so much shit because if it's affordable and there's 400 or who knows what the actual number of the US population is,
but just say it's like 330 million, it's the last number that I know of.
But if you get. Every person somewhat interested in football and it's a reasonable price and they can watch any team, you could make fucking gobs of money.
The NFL has its own fantasy football shit.
Yeah. Hell, sell a package with your fantasy football thing.
Oh, hey, every like every fucking league, you get like one fucking get one free. The league itself gets one free.
You all can get together and you can watch fucking football or whatever on the NFL Network and shit.
Do do some bullshit like that, incorporate like a free trial or something into the fantasy football thing.
There's a thousand ways you could do this that are better than the way that you're going down with this fragmenting of the audience.
Because again, listen, like for me, I'm a Patriots fan. Right now, the Patriots suck.
We're not on anymore. Like we're not on like CBS a lot.
We're not because back when the Patriots were good, they would always be like, oh, prime time game of the week, whatever.
I didn't need to buy whatever to watch them play.
Now I don't get to watch Patriot games because they're not on that much.
So it's like they're out of market for me.
So I got to fucking either get the Sunday ticket, which I ain't paying for that shit, or I just fucking catch highlights later.
If you if you consider that all those fans that you have, right, they're all going to buy this fucking NFL Network for 999 or whatever the fuck.
Shit, if it was 1599 or 1499, I fucking still probably pay for it.
You 30 bucks. Yeah, I don't even pay if the MLB did if the MLB did the exact same thing where you can watch every baseball game for 50 to 60 bucks for the entire year or whatever it was.
Or yeah, it were for the entire season, 60 bucks.
It's like six months. Yeah. So let's just say it's fuck what?
Let's just say like it's 150 bucks for the six months. Yeah, fuck that beef.
That'd be sweet as fuck. And you can watch 100.
Well, each team plays 162 games.
So like, fuck, I don't know how many total games get played thousands.
What's a thousand baseball plus the MLB network and all that shit, all the old shit because they would just upload all the old stuff.
You go watch old playoff games. You can watch old fucking World Series fucking games.
That'd be worth it for me. That would be worth it.
And then that's what would keep people sticking around to pay it in the off season is because, oh, cool, I can still go back and watch all the old stuff.
Like, that's how you entice people and get them to stick around so they don't just buy it during the season.
But even if you're just buying it during the season, fuck, man, you're just making fucking bank.
And I think the first sports organization, whether it be the NBA, the MLB, the NFL or the NHL, whoever figures it out first.
They're the one that's going to that's going to make the most fucking money.
They also need to integrate like that porn hub shit where where there's certain segments or even like YouTube where there's certain segments chopped up.
I mean, it's the whole video, right? Yeah.
But there's bookmarks for every single thing.
So it's like, oh, Joe Carter's walk off home run for the 1983 World Series.
That took several years for the WWE to get that in because it took a couple of years for them to get everything onto the network.
Yeah. When they first popped it. And it was because they did that.
They had chapters where it was like you could go to the pay per view and you could go through the chapters. You could say, OK, Booker T versus The Rock.
And then it would you could you could start it, go to the entrances and then you'd have the bookmark for the beginning of the match.
And then you have the bookmark for the ending. You could see the finish.
So they would it would literally start at the final move and then the pin and then it would be the winner.
So you could go through all the bookmarks if you just want to see one whatever pivotal moments like that.
So that's what they had. And that's why it took so long to upload that shit.
They were doing they were going through and time stamping bookmarks for every fucking pay per view that they ever fucking had.
That's good. If that was something the NFL did for key moments in numerous games, dude, that'd be a worthwhile feature to have for an app or a service like that.
Yeah. And I mean, do the WWE Network came out in like, what, 2012?
I think something like that. Yeah.
I don't. And this is just like what gives wrestling such as is has still has such a stigma for some reason about it is I don't know how these other fucking sports networks have done have not done that because I can't imagine that the old stuff they have like the old stuff is like the rights are fucking secured by somebody.
Like the NFL owns all that shit. Right. Like all the old Super Bowls, all the old everything's right. Yeah.
They could already have been doing that for the last decade and a half.
I think it's just whoever whoever's in position is just has too much of an archaic mind.
They're like, we'll just sell our cable rights to fucking anybody. And it's like, oh, well, they're really just like leveraging wherever they end up to, you know, today it's fucking Amazon.
Oh, they gave us 30 million. Oh, shit. Well, we're Netflix and we do pretty all right. I guess we can give you 45 million or 60 million.
All right. Cool. We'll go with that. And they're just kind of like looking for the next deal as opposed to just seeing it long term. Right. And saying, why, why, why can't we just keep it all in house and just do it ourselves?
And we could probably make way more fucking money potentially. But, you know, well, it's like so then why like why did the WWE opt to not?
I'm sure there's overhead costs for like the servers to hold the videos like their storage of the videos and all that shit.
So I wonder why they opted not to just continue the service because I know you why I know exactly why they stopped doing it.
It's still technically just overseas for areas that don't aren't able to get like peacock. Right.
It's like that. But they had a good man like the I mean, I thought they I thought they had it all figured out.
No, I thought they all I thought they had it all figured out with the WWE because it was pretty fucking good. But yeah, it's like, oh, no, it's all going to shit.
Here's peacock. Just give her shit to peacock. Now, I'll tell you the exact reason why they did it was because they knew that they were going to be selling back when they did this.
They knew that their end state goal was to sell the WWE to someone. And so what they needed to do was they needed to up the book number of it.
So if you've got like with peacock, that first deal that they made was like, I don't know, fucking like a billion something like one or two billion dollars.
They just increase the value of the company by that much. So when you go to sell it like, oh, we're going to get another two billion dollars for this because we have this rights deal with them for whatever TV rights.
So that's why the WWE Network went away and they said, hey, that was what how peacock was like, hey, cool, let's do this deal.
But then like, why don't we just take everything that's on the WWE Network and we'll just put it on the peacock app because we already have one and also make it so much worse.
Well, yeah, we'll just do it half ass and who gives a fuck. And they're like, yeah, we just want to cash out. We just want to make money, which I mean, yeah, I get it.
But at the same token, that's why they did it. To me, that wasn't a move. If you were in it for the long term, that's not a good move to do that because, yeah, they weren't making that quick two billion dollars or whatever.
But you get paid the whatever the cost of it upfront or whatever, and that's it or every year, however the fuck it's delineated out.
But if you had and now you don't have the control over it or whatever, because now it's on somebody else's thing, so they can put up what they want, not put up.
I mean, granted, why wouldn't you? You would not want to put up everything if you pay that much fucking money for it. You want everything that they're fucking producing.
But yeah, that was why they did it was so that they could fucking increase the I don't want to say artificially increase because, yes, it does increase the value of the company because it's like, well, here's all this money we got coming in for this.
So like, hey, that's makes company worth more. So it's not artificially but it kind of is artificially like inflating the sale price of it.
So and then now it's run by a court. Now it's run by what do you call it?
NBC Universal. No, the WWE who fucked the Titan.
TKO. TKO. So TKO owns them now. They also own the UFC. If TKO was smart, they'd be like, well, fuck, we paid all this money.
We need to get our money back. So that's why they re up the deal with Netflix. That's why they're doing all these licensing deals to get that money back.
Once they get the money back that they paid, if they're smart, they say, cool, we're not licensing the shit out and we're doing it all ourselves.
Fuck yeah. You're going to subscribe to the TKO app and you're going to get and honestly, UFC.
So if TKO, if they charge $40 a month, but you got all the WWE shit, you got the WWE pay per views and you got all the UFC shit, you got the UFC pay per view.
All the old UFCs and you got all the pay per views and you get all the current UFC pay per views because that's the one thing I will never fucking pay for a UFC pay per view because they're like $70.
It's, it's getting to the point where the WWE was at before they made the network where the pay per views were getting so fucking expensive that you just didn't want to pay for them.
And so if the UFC goes that route and combines and does a TKO app with that, dude, they'll make a fucking mint on that because I'll tell you what, I'd pay 40 bucks a month for that.
That's a great fucking deal. That'd be fucking sweet shit. Yeah, that would be sweet as shit because then I'm going to get all the ever all the fucking UFC shit.
Like we get to watch all the fights for fucking 40 bucks a month. That's a hell of a deal. Yeah, fuck.
Even if they charge 60 bucks a month, which is just the price. Well, shit, it's $69.99 for fucking UFC pay per view. Yeah, $70. Fuck man for a month.
And then you get all the archive shit. Yeah, everything. All the live streams for every, every PLE. I split that with a couple people. Yeah.
And we're only paying 20 bucks a piece. Yeah. And then, oh, everybody just gets together to watch the current fight because you can only have one stream up when you're watching like the current fight or whatever.
I'm sure they'll put a restriction on that. But like, shit, man, that'd be the way to do it. And they'd be making shit tons of money.
So I guess we'll find out after. I guess we'll find out. Yeah. But anyways, Netflix quit fucking shit up. All right. We're tired of it.
Or do better. Either quit fucking shit up or just stay in your lane. Preferably. I'd like you to quit fucking about and just stay in your lane.
But wrestling, the Raw is coming to Netflix in just a few short days. So. Raw's live?
No, it's live. This is going to be live. Oh, no, this is going to be a disaster. I think it's going to be bad. I think it's going to be bad, too.
And honestly, I'm kind of excited to see the train wreck because I just think it's going to be great.
It's going to be. I'll tell you what. We will be sports entertained, regardless, I'm sure. I'm sorry to think.
I wonder if WWE just says, you guys. Never mind. You guys weren't really made for this. Yeah.
What if that's what happens? And that's the one thing that I thought was very strange. At least the NFL gave them like a trial.
All right. We'll just give you two fucking games and see how it goes.
So now if the NFL over the next few months decides, you know what? We don't really like how this fucking went.
Guess what? Netflix, you ain't getting shit again. Go fuck yourself.
The WWE really I've or TKO should have really thought about this before they jumped into this fucking deal with Netflix.
And they should have been like, you know what, Netflix, what's that you guys do like a fucking house show?
We'll live stream a house show. See how that goes. You guys put that on.
And then, OK, if that goes well, maybe we'll think about it. Yeah, they went all in.
All in with with obviously now they're over to, in my opinion, Netflix with live sports right now, they're over fucking to.
And dude, imagine, imagine if WWE stayed on its path and just just to be assholes, they paid the money to get a few NFL games.
And then you get commentary from like fucking J.R. like dubbing over the fucking game.
How cool would that be to have WWE commentators dubbing over commentating fucking NFL games?
You know, it's funny they did do that already. It was called the XFL in the early 2000s.
They had J.R., Jesse Ventura, they had Jerry the King Lawler, and they would call some some of the games.
And what they would do is when they do the replays, they get J.R. and the king to sit in the booth.
So they wouldn't actually be at the games because it's like they couldn't.
So they just read them over. They just play the game and they just fucking do commentary over it.
Yeah. And then they send it out or whatever.
Oh, good God Almighty, Jimmy, just fuck. Good God, Jerry King, you just killed that man.
Oh, yeah. He don't do that or whatever.
The guy's name would be like zero. They had fucked up names. You can pick a nickname or whatever.
Oh, fuck. So anyways, would you break your shoe?
No, I I I cut myself and the scab is starting to peel off. Yeah. Oh, well. Oh, well.
Anyways. Yeah. So quit fucking about Netflix. Netflix is Netflix sponsored by Lainey's chips.
What if there is a chip brand called Lainey's?
I wouldn't be surprised. That'd be hilarious.
Anyways. All right. You know, the other sad.
No, this is the hopefully this is the end of the NFL because I can't I could do without it for a minute.
Yeah, I hope the NFL just fucks off and dies after this.
Anyways, and hopefully it gets replaced with Lainey's, the fucking new football league.
Anyways. All right. Go to GameRage magazine.
Yeah, it's fucking go do all the things. Also, what's yours?
