@aceboon how'd you do it?

I can only do it from a desktop browser but right click the video and then click "Copy video address", you can then paste the link in the coli and change the address from x.com to twitter.com as you would do with other twitter links

Fascinating convo and the issues between ownership and needing help with infrastructure so you can be successful... it is a tough path

I mentioned it on the budden thread a few days ago, in reference to what I said last week in this thread about Gil’s Arena moving to 2-days

Yea, if we go by what openai says, a YT video with 1-million views centered on NBA-content would generate between $4k-$12k, and for NFL content between $3k to $8k. Tho of course other types of advertisements and sponsors can blow that number up, some say as much as $30k per 1-million views.

From what Gil was saying, Gil's Arena was averaging about 1.1 million or so total views a week, and said Gridiron averages about 400k views a week. So even if you go with the high end estimates, that's great for a 1-man show but not if you're splitting it 4-ways + a full production team and budget. It's no wonder you see the Double Toasted guys and now Jeff Teague's 520 crew doing road shows and spamming merchandise. Or always emphasizing the "super chat", etc

Ultimately getting picked up by an Amazon, Netflix, HBO, ESPN, etc., is the more lucrative/stable play for these mutli-cast shows.

Yep and the clip posted above, Gil basically just said what you said. What Underdog pays everyone is way more than what the channel makes. Gil said the channel makes around 3M a year. He said he could tell from the way underdog was talking they were gonna cut ppl, sorta name dropped Lexi as one of the ppl that would be cut if they didnt do the 2 days a week think and tried to buck and get more days or w/e.

Josiah probably makes 3M by himself. You know skip getting paid a lot. A good nugget is the sponsors. It seems the basketball show isnt getting the sponsors they thought it would and they may be tried to use Skip/Gridiron's potential for a package deal with that too for the channel. Gil said Underdog was gonna give Gridiron it's own channel and stuff at first and he suggested they just use the Gil's arena channel for it.

From the way Gil talking, if this football show doesnt work and neither show gets picked up by Netflix/Amazon, Underdog may be throwing in the towel.
Seems all the basketball people's contracts end after this year and they all free agents in 2026. Sounds like Gil may be ready to pivot to go independent, although he says Netflix/Amazon sorta trying to check them out.

Where'd you get that Josiah number from?

Just me guessing. First contract Josiah had was 1.5M and they reupped after that/their success and I imagine he got a nice pay raise

Just when I thought podcasting was dead

Netflix is adding video podcasts, marking ‘a new chapter for podcasting’ - 9to5Mac

Netflix dominates paid TV streaming, and now it’s coming for podcasts next. Netflix and Spotify have announced a new partnership...

9to5mac.com

I can see why Gil/Underdog think Netflix is an option

This is what Gil said. Gil did a show when he was going at Miko, straight up broke everything down contract wise. This 50/50 shyt isnt news. He covered the shyt damn near 2 years ago. Ppl just werent paying attention. He broke down the first contract of what almost everyone on the pod was making on their first contracts. 1.5M for Josaiah, Kmart like half a mil, Lexi like quarter mil.


Fake Edit:
This me talking about the live in Nov 23.

Damn at the pocketwatching section. First yearly contracts were 1.5M for Josaiah, half mil for Kmart, 200k for Lexi
Gil said them the old deals and they all reupped after the show blew up. Gil also broke down his contract and how he is basically a 50/50 partner with Underdog/Showtime.

If you think Gil lying, then w/e

 

[J-MIL]

Damn I liked Lexi on the show
