Everybody needs money. That's why they call it money.

From full global headquarters, this is Motley Full Money.

It's a Motley Full Money radio show. I'm Chris L. Joining me in studio this week from Motley Full One, Jason Moser,

from Motley Full Income Investor, James Early, and for Million Dollar Portfolio, Ron Gross.

Good to see you, Jens.

Hey, you do.

It is our Memorial Day weekend special. We're taping a little early this week, but we've got headlines.

We will dip into the full mail bag and we'll talk CEO pay and get a summer movie preview from Nell Minow.

And as always, of course, we were giving an inside look at the stocks on our radar.

But we begin with the big deal of the week.

AT&T is buying direct TV for $49 billion. If approved by regulators, it would make AT&T the second largest pay TV service in America.

Help me out, Ron, because the buyout price for direct TV was $95 a share.

But the stock is trading in sort of the mid to low 80s. Why is this the stock not being bit up?

That says to me that maybe people think this ain't going to happen.

There's two things going on. One, there's some real concern about competitive issues.

Some antitrust issues. There are definitely some public interest groups that will probably lobby to not have this go through,

same as they're doing with Comcast Time Warner.

But the bigger thing, the more interesting thing, I think, is all about the NFL.

And AT&T really has the right to pull out of this deal if the direct TV NFL ticket deal doesn't get renewed.

And that's a big part of this transaction. And I think investors are waiting and seeing what will happen there.

I think it's likely that that gets renewed. I think they've used words like highly probable.

But it is an interesting provision in the deal that it can go away if NFL goes away.
