Welcome back to oysters, clams, and cockles. I am Ross Bolin here with Barrett Dudley, and we have another fun slate of stuff to discuss today. How are you doing, Barrett?

I'm doing great. And I'm excited for all of our topics today. You know, got a good batch of stuff. Four good ones.

Yeah. We're going to start with discussing of stuff. Four good ones. Yeah.

We're going to start with discussing something we've been meaning to get to for a couple

few weeks now, Paramount purchasing Warner Brothers Discovery, which is obviously something

we have sort of a personal stake in, you could argue.

And I would say so.

Because we cover so many HBO shows, and HBO is of course housed under Warner Brothers Discovery, which is being purchased by Paramount. Netflix finally conceded. It was a battle between Netflix and Paramount. A bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bidding war. Bit of a bidding war. A bit of a bit of a bit... A bit of a bidding war.

A bit of a bidding war.

A bit of a bidding war.

A bit of a bit of a bitter.

Yeah, I have a tongue twister there.

And I mean, yeah, just really, I mean, there's so much...

There's going to be so much fallout from that, if the deal goes through, which is still an if.

It looks like your, your, your, your, your, your, prediction markets. Yeah, have it about like, like, like, it's probably

about 85% going to go through. Yeah. But there is a 10% shred, which is not nothing,

that it doesn't go through, which I think we're both probably

secretly or not so secretly hoping for, kind of rooting for, for a variety of reasons, which we can

get into, but I'm excited to dive into a few things with that whole merger. So as of right now,

Paramount led by David Ellison and backed by Redbird Capital

have agreed to acquire Warner Brothers Discovery, WBD. Did you want to say what else we're going

to talk about today or did you just dive into topic number one? Just going straight into topic
