E93: "Spirited", Streaming, and Disney's CEO Swap

Published: Nov. 28, 2022, 8 a.m.

It's post-Thanksgiving, but pre-Christmas season...or is it? This episode falls into a little bit of a limbo, but the spirit is alive in us, and on Apple TV+. If you haven't seen the new Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds movie, I do recommend it, but more on that in the episode.

\n

Watching it did give me some more thoughts on the evolution of streaming, how the companies goals vary by the financial standing of their biggest shareholders, and how we should measure success in this new world.

\n

Of course that gave me the perfect link for the link, and led us down the road of Disney re-introducing Bob Iger as CEO after a brief retirement, and how we'll end up looking at this move relative to the success of Disney +. 

\n

It's almost Christmas season, and you can expect a lot more jolly eps coming soon, so this was the warm up. Warm cocoa, if you will.

Follow @thelink_podcast on Instagram and Twitter for episode recaps, clips, polls, memes, and late-night thoughts that are generally so genius it's astonishing someone hasn't just hired me as an idea-man by now. Unless one of you fancy ad companies wants to drop some dollar bills in my lap and I can do it myself? That sounds like a ton of work though. No denying the ad would be great, but I'll probably hire a CEO to handle the day-to-day of all the innovation that will come from my head. Wonder how busy Shaq is...

\n

Anyway, until next time when the Santa hat will be on, enjoy the in-between...

We don't talk a ton of sports on the link, but I have a background working in sports, loving sports, raging about sports, and most importantly, gambling on sports...profitably...usually. So I started "MikeTheMush Sports" which you can find on YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter. We're up near 100 units of profit in 2022, and are looking to close the year strong. We're always posting picks, breakdowns, reactions, and trying our best not to completely Mush any reasonable take I put out into the universe. Still, if you would have followed every pick we made on our YouTube video this year, and bet $10 on it, you'd be up near $1,000. Join us if you like me, sports, or cash. Any one of the three will do. Two out of three and you have to follow. I don't make the rules. See ya out there. I won't slap your butt as you run onto the field, because I don't think you can do that anymore, but just know that I want to, and it's purely motivational.
