I used to be a big fan of American Idol.

I loved it.

I watched every episode.

I used to be a big fan of Hard Knocks. I loved it. I watched every episode. I'm kind of done with both. Like American Idol was on last night. I have no interest. And I'm kind of there with Hard Knocks unless the Jets or Giants were on it. And then it would feel almost like an obligation. It's really hard to find new stuff to create as like the conflict. Yeah. Like it's, you've seen it all before. It's the same thing, yeah. Like if it's my team I'm interested, if it's the Giants I'm interested. But the Seattle Seahawks, like as he was saying it, I was bored. They'd almost be better off.

I know it's about the teams, but you almost need to focus on the individual, like an individual or two are individuals on a team as opposed to the entire team. They do that with that quarterback series. Yeah, exactly. So the quarterback series is interesting. Right. But what made Hard Knocks great was they used to do that. and you'd fall around like the five fringe guys where you only knew two were going to make the roster.

Like that's where it started to focus in. You'd learn a little bit about the stars. Right. And then they got away from it because they felt like it was not right to show like the cutting of them on. I mean, it's hard. I mean, these kids are like. I know. But it was reality. They're losing their dream. I know. I also think it's just, it's been done. It's like the same issue of the American Idol.

It's been done. Like when it first came out and I was glued to it, no 3, 0404,05. I'm watching Bo Bice and Kerry Underwood and Ruben stuttered and Clay Aiken. I don't know. Have they created the star? Since then I'm not I don't know That's the challenge I can't tell you that Like I don't know. Have they created the star? Since then, I'm not, I don't know. That's the challenge. I can't tell you that. I can't say no because who knows, maybe a country star I listened to is from American Idol. I have no idea anymore. See, I think YouTube has changed how stars get made. Because think about, you know, Teddy Swims, who is my guy I always tell you guys about, he was a YouTube star.

Right.

He was singing covers. He sang a Michael Jackson cover. This guy with tattooed face and all this is from Georgia. And it's like, who the hell is this guy? His voice is amazing. Right. And then he found his way through, but it wasn't because he did a reality show. It was just because he worked his butt off. The other thing that I think has heard hard knocks is every team does their own version now. Like the Jets had one jet drive. The Mets just released something like that. Like all these team owned operations and obviously you're not going to get scandalous things because it's run by the team. But you see the social stuff all the time. Yeah.

You see it.
