t want to have to prepare it. I'm going to buy a steak and then maybe I'll change my mind and not eat it. I haven't eaten steak, I don't know, 40 years. Long time. About 40 years, I guess. And I thought, well, I just won't tell anybody because then if I change my mind, I don't have to explain it. But, you know, so I go to DoorDash and I start shopping for a steak. Do you know what a steak costs? O…

s up and starts creating some excitement. Yeah.

I'm watching Land Man with Billy Bob Thornton. If you haven't seen that show, Land Man, oh my god, is that well done. The acting, the casting, the writing, the concept, you know, of the people they put together for it. It's really good. It's like one of the best things you'll ever see. They do have at least two scenes where somebody's tied to a chair and tortured. I don't love that. But it was so good that I didn't turn it off because I have a rule. As soon as a movie puts somebody in a chair, ties them to a chair to torture them, as soon as that happens, I turn it off. And I will never watch the rest of that movie. But Land Man was so good, I was flexible on that rule.

All right. Land Man, I believe, is on Prime Video. Only Prime Video, I think. I'm not 100% sure. One of my biggest problems is I have a number of streaming services. Well, it's not my biggest problem, but pain in the ass. And I'll start watching something and I'll like it and then I'll never be able to find it again. Has anybody had that problem? I'll be like, "Was that on HBO Max?" Then you spend 10 minutes looking, it's not there. Okay, I think it was on Netflix. Spend 10 minutes looking and it's not and then you're like, "Okay, I've been here 20 minutes. I only had 20 minutes to watch the show. I'm done." It's so hard to find anything to watch, especially even if you've started it. Trying to navigate to the Paramount stuff from where you are. It's tough.

All right. I'm going to say hi to my beloved subscribers on Locals. The rest of you, I'm hoping to see you tomorrow, same time and same place for more fun. But right now, we'll update the stream if this works.
