Netflix has its own shows! Who knew?

And I've been looking everywhere for my beeper, thought it was lost between the couch cushions. Damn, beepers can't be gone.

All the money wasted on my undergrad and MBA degrees, when I could have just driven to the corner liquor store and listen to Con Man teach Econ 101 after his first bottle of Ripple.

Are you kidding me? Disney movies are almost always big hits. Kid movies at the theatres are always big draws, it is rare that one bombs.

You still did not answer the question...

how much profit did the cable companies bring in 2016?
I already know the answers, but I want you to post them.

I know when I think of Berkshire and Warren Buffett, the very next name that comes to mind is the Con Man. Because, you know, your history with predictions is right up there with Buffett's.

Next, how about a lecture on Keynesian economic theory? I'll buy the Ripple!

Now wait just a minute, Con Man. Now you're saying "PayPhones" and the Grand Ole "Oprey" are gone too? Say it ain't so, Joe. Even MTV? Tell us more on current pop culture, Con Man.

BTW, what's an "Oprey"? Don't worry, we chalk up your deficient spelling up to your IQ and Ripple consumption.

You never disappoint, Con Man. How does someone get to be you? Can you throw a football over the mountain like Uncle Rico?

Con Man, what's the over/under on the amount of times you said you would leave the board when proven a liar? Is it hire or lower than NetFlix's stock price?

Well, Con Man, we were stressed out. But now that we know you and Dr. Rudd are negotiating with Silicon Valley, things are looking up.

BTW, were you and Dr. Rudd able to find everything OK when you were in Silicon Valley?

Here's something My Mom passed years ago...So when you say this or that like my Mom's computer or such, It doesn't bother me...When people use to ask why me and My Beautiful Amazing wife never had or wanted kids, it was simple because we wanted to travel,live and enjoy life..then people use to say to me, that You should have kids to take care of you so when you get old and begin to not be able to care for yourself....Point is you have your opinion, I have mine...Things of Tomorrow will Not be as Things of Today.....#Changes Are Coming...#The World Is Ours Memphis....

Never said a word about your mom's computer, Con Man. Said lots of words about you lying, because you lie constantly.

You keep saying Dr. Rudd and Mike Aresco keep going to Silicon Valley, right? Why would they do that when Amazon is in Seattle and Hulu is in Los Angeles?

And you said Amazon took the NFL Thursday Night Football from ESPN, right? ESPN does not have Thursday Night Football, the NFL Network does. ESPN had absolutely nothing to do with Amazon streaming TNF games this year.

Quit lying and acting like you know more than you do, and maybe in a few years people will quit mocking you. Con Man.
