00:00I did notice, you know, one of those year-end things, and I love watching this, it comes out at the end of every year, the top 100 televised or shows on television this year, 96 of the 100 were all sporting events, and 88 of them were NFL games, all right?
00:20Yeah. So the question is, if 96 out of the 100 most-watched events on television this year were sporting events, do you have any idea of the four that weren't?
00:33Well, not off the top, I mean.
00:35You want to take this away? I'm going to tell you, I'm not going to play this out too long.
00:38But you want to take a random guess of a televised event, a televised event that would have been one of the four that were in the top 100 that were not sporting events.
00:46Was it something political? Was it something political?
00:49Two of them were political.
00:50Was it something with the swearing in?
00:53Yes, the Trump inauguration was one of the four, that's a good guess. I'm assuming you got help on that. That was one of the four.
01:01How? We have the same earpiece. How to get help? From where? From where? From where? From where? From where? See?
01:07I'm going to give you the second political one because I don't think, I wouldn't have gotten it either.
01:11Okay.
01:12The second political one was Trump's speech to the joint houses of Congress.
01:18Okay.
01:18All right?
01:19All right.
01:19All right.
01:20So knock that one out.
01:21So Trump's got two of the top 100.
01:23All right.
01:23The other two, you were in town for it.
01:28I was in town for it?
01:29You were in New York City for this event.
01:31What the hell?
01:32Top 100 televised event of 2025.
01:37You and your wife were in town for it.
01:40Really?
01:40Yes.
01:41Oh, was it?
01:43No.
01:44I don't know.
01:46The Thanksgiving Day Parade.
01:48Oh!
01:49The Macy's Parade is one of the top 100 viewed events on television this year.
01:53You and your wife were in person for it.
01:55Yes.
01:55That's right.
01:56Listen, I like the parade.
01:56Which is frankly grounds for divorce, but that's your business.
02:02I enjoyed the parade.
02:04No, you didn't.
02:04I did.
02:05And you told me off air you hated it.
02:07I did not.
02:07And the fourth event, the Academy Awards.
02:10Okay.
02:11So people still give a rat's ass about movies and movie awards.
02:15Yeah.
02:16Even though nobody goes to movies anymore.
02:18But they still watch it.
02:19And it's all Netflix awards.
02:20Yeah.
02:21And streaming and stuff like that.
02:22I don't know if it's good or bad.
02:26The NFL's hold on it.
02:27Going by what you've talked about today.
02:29Yeah.
02:29I actually think as a society, because people get very upset if you talk about the NFL sometimes.
02:34Right.
02:34If those people are in charge, we're all in trouble.
02:40I just feel very comfortable saying that.
02:41If the people in charge of the NFL are in charge of all of our entertainment, we're in trouble.
02:47Because these are not the most competent people outside of football, football, football.
02:51They don't do anything else good.
02:53It also means that we're sheep.
02:55Yeah.
02:55Right?
02:55And we no longer watch television for anything other than live events.
03:00We're live event people.
03:01Right.
03:01Right.
03:02Because if you, like, look, I just fell in love with the show Blacklist.
03:06I didn't see a single episode when that show aired.
03:08Right.
03:09But now I'm watching, I'm on season two now, and the show's been off the air for seven years.
03:13Right.
03:13Right?
03:14So Blacklist didn't get me as a viewer.
03:16I'll give you another one.
03:17Suits.
03:18All right?
03:18I didn't see a single episode of Suits.
03:20Me neither.
03:21Until I saw it on TikTok.
03:22Let me tell you, once I started seeing it on TikTok, Suits was a good show, Jack.
03:26I should be watching that.
03:26One of my closest friends in the world now is one of the stars of Suits.
03:31Who?
03:31Rick Hoffman.
03:32Are you kidding me?
03:33No.
03:34Come on.
03:35Yeah.
03:35Come on.
03:36And a funny story, they booked him as a guest on my radio show, and I have no recollection
03:43of it.
03:43Wait a minute.
03:44So you had him on the show.
03:45When Suits was a show, I guess, on NBC.
03:48Or Fox or everyone.
03:49Or USA.
03:49Whatever one.
03:50USA.
03:50Family as NBC.
03:51All right.
03:51So real quick.
03:52I know it's not sports.
03:53Just real quick.
03:53Yeah.
03:54So I was very good friends with the president of USA Network.
03:58Okay.
03:58And I appeared as myself on a couple of USA Network shows.
04:02Okay.
04:02All right?
04:03And I filmed a pilot for USA Network.
04:07They were dabbling with the idea of doing a late night show.
04:10Whoa!
04:11So Chris McCumber is his name.
04:13He was the president of USA Network.
04:14He came to me, and I filmed a late night pilot for USA Network.
04:21They didn't pick it up.
04:22The show never happened.
04:23But because of my relationship with the network, they put me on a bunch of their shows.
04:27Okay?
04:28And then they booked Rick Hoffman on my radio show, New York.
04:32I had never seen Suits.
04:34I didn't know who Rick was.
04:36And I never watched Suits after he came on the show.
04:40Fast forward a decade.
04:42Legitimately a decade.
04:43Okay?
04:43I'm a big TikTok guy.
04:45We have 200,000 followers on TikTok.
04:48I love TikTok videos, right?
04:50All of a sudden, I'm seeing this show Suits on TikTok.
04:54I had no idea that Rick was on my radio show.
04:56We become very close personal friends.
04:59And he's like, what a great world.
05:01Ten years ago, I was a guest on your show.
05:03And you're like, what?
05:04And now we're friends.
05:05And you're like, what?
05:05And I'm like, when were you on my radio show?
05:08What radio show?
05:09Exactly right.
05:10You sure?
05:11In any event, that's why TV's got a problem.
05:14Yeah.
05:14I now digest TV through apps, not through TV.
