Happy Friday Bros, I hope you love this weeks video! I love talking about business and I hope you enjoy this one as much as I do!

You should do the best now Bro but you should leave out the Big Pharma companies

I would 100% give up streaming for blockbuster

2:23 lol is that Carnosaur?! that's a pull

With how expensive streaming services have became, Blockbuster could make a come back renting physical media for significantly cheaper. I think it would take a bit but I think people would bite

There is a blockbuster building 15 min from my house, idk if they are open , but it's cool to look at it every time I pass by, still has the old sign on top , like a time capsule.
I might try to walk in one day to see if they are locked. 9:12

Not to be an ass but how old are you? When I was 17 Blockbuster was going out the door and suddenly when I was 19 it was gone or not hiring. Given how young you sound I don't believe you experienced any of that and are going off 90s hype. To be clear the 90s weren't that cool we had less things and the Internet wasn't there. Calling some one on they payphone without a cell phone was regular for me till 2009 when I got a cell phone and it wasn't smart.

The story behind Gatorade fits here

24:28 😳…. Wow…. His partners were psychos for even offering Wayne those deals.

Is it just me or are TMB's videos quieter than others? I'll be at work listening and I can hear other videos fine over workplace noise but I struggle to hear this dudes. Sucks cause I love his shit

Lol, it's crazy to think if Blockbuster at their peak would have bought or partnered with Netflix, Netbusters would be like the king of streaming and renting movies. Also, if they were making 20M a day, basically 50M investment would have been a drop in the bucket. Just dumb. The Yahoo and FB hold out was smart too. Knowing what you have and it's worth very important in business. The Skype deal I wasn't really interested in just because that's not something I used. Guess I'm more of a traditionalist, lol. Now, the Apple deal is just bonkers, lol.

22:06 i RAN to that insta.

Hmm, so Netflix was only doing the DVD rental via mail business at the time? If so, there's no guaranteed that Netflix under Blockbuster would have evolved into a streaming service tech company which is where all its value is and has been for a long time.

0:28 Hey, when did you recorded me?

0:36 or maybe they are not Canadian or American

I did that mail dvd service, but im sure it was Amazon? I think it was called "Lovefilm" though that could have been a separate company that Amazon bought up. It was a pretty good service.

4:07 I find it hilarious that now in 2026 two of those companies are completely gone

When Blockbuster declined too buy Netflix it was a company that send DVDs by mail, lost 50 millions $ last year and never made a $ profit. It was not a streaming service yet at all and it is not very probable that they would ever have changed into streaming if bought by Blockbuster. They did not pitch the idea of streaming too Blockbuster but sending DVDs by mail, which is a venture as dead today as Blockbuster.

Had to pause to follow your insta. I'm watching your videos for 12-18 years now, but I have seen almost every video. Is the insta acc new?

19:00 Skype went exactly how Microsoft wanted. Buy up the competition, extract what they can for their own stuff and throw the remaining parts into the trash. It's been like that since the 90s. They could have reverse engineered Skype for their own app, but that doesn't remove Skype from the market and free up it's market share.

Buster, get off my block
