Welcome to Storyworthy.

I am Christine Blackburn, and I'm here with Hanna Svinning, and we're coming to you from Netflix headquarters in Las Gatos, California.

Whoa.

Why do you ask? Yes. Well, the topic tonight, poor decisions. And I think there's no greater example in the past month of poor decisions than Netflix deciding to basically double its rate and then split its business in two. In case you haven't noticed this because you don't really have Netflix. People are dropping like flies. No, I understand.

No one I've been reading about it as well.

It's been in the business section and Netflix has lost like 42% of its membership. I know. It's amazing. It's such a, I think it's a problem with having nerds in charge. like the reworking of Facebook because it's like the guy created a business that just put

everybody else out of business. Blackbuster pretty much gone because of this guy. And then he decides,

as far as I can tell, he does not want to be in the business of physically distributing DVDs.

He wants to only be in the streaming business. I think because he's a nerd.

Well, no, because that's where everything's headed, though.

No, DVDs are going to be completely gone by next summer, dude.

Not by summer, but I mean, the point is you can't, that may be so, but you cannot simply

force it down the public's throat and charge them more for it. Especially when there's so many other entertainment choices. Yeah, and it's not like nobody else is going to be able to do the streaming. It's like they had, so basically poor decision. Poor decision by Netflix. All right, and that's interesting. You should bring that up because Michael Cass is on the show tonight, Honest. And he has brought- Wait, isn't he the CEO of Netflix? Oops, I think I've made a... This is Michael Cass, the storyteller, the writer, and he has brought forth this topic to us, poor decisions. That could be on the storyworthy wheel of truth because everybody's made poor decisions. You know what? That's actually very interesting. It could be on the story worthy will of truth.

But it's not.

It's not.

That was a poor decision to not put that on.

That was a poor decision. What we're going to hear, you know, it could be used as the wild card. You know, if you got the wild card, you could make that your topic. That's true, right? or Michael Kess, we're going to hear his story about his poor decision.

Yes, I'm curious.

So when you hear that poor decision, honest, what do you think of?

Usually... Michael Cass, we're going to hear his story about what's poor decision. Yes, I'm curious. So when you hear that poor decision, honest, what do you think of?
