1
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:08,560
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news. I want to start

2
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: everyone acts like Netflix has won everything, right, I get

3
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't. People, even people a Netflix,

4
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: don't like it when you say that Netflix has won

5
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,479
Speaker 1: the streaming wars. They think it's the wrong But I

6
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 1: want to so I want to start with something. Let's

7
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: let's go negative.

8
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 2: All right, well it is you're speaking to my personality here.

9
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: What is something that Netflix needs to do better?

10
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 2: We need to do everything better.

11
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 3: And I think you know the reason I hate, like,

12
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 3: you know, when I hear we've won everything or whatever.

13
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 3: I actually I think the worst position for a company

14
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 3: to be in is to feel like they've actually won everything,

15
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 3: because I think success has this, uh, you know, vulnerability

16
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 3: where you start to breed, you know, complacency, error against

17
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 3: and things like that. And I think in the world

18
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 3: that we live in entertainment, this has been the most

19
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 3: competitive entertainment environment that's ever existed in the planet, you know,

20
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 3: in the history of humankind. It's getting more and more competitive,

21
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 3: and if you don't maintain the sense that you are

22
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 3: constantly vulnerable, I think you will lose.

23
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: So I think the biggest thing that people point to

24
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: as perhaps a side of vulnerability at least that I

25
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: noticed is that your engagement, the amount of time people

26
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: spend on the service has been pretty flat over the

27
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 1: last couple of years. And then you look at the

28
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: regular drops from Meelsen and you see that streaming share

29
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: of TV time has gone up quite a bit, and

30
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: your share that's gone up is a pretty small fraction

31
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: of that. A lot of the growth has gone to

32
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: these free services. So how do you address that?

33
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 3: Well, I think you just essentially explained it right, which

34
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 3: is that we moved on demand very early on in

35
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 3: the process, so we sort of got the benefit or

36
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 3: basically built our business around that benefit. And then you know,

37
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 3: everyone over a period of time caught up and essentially

38
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 3: from our perspective, they're all now moving to that model

39
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 3: and moving to that benefit from consumers. So you know, frankly,

40
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 3: the fact that we were actually keeping pace in that

41
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 3: sort of you know, shifting tide if you will. I think,

42
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 3: as you know, reasonably good thing. It's not great, you know.

43
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,919
Speaker 1: I mean good thing, but from everything I've heard inside

44
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: the company, like the goal is basically to replace television,

45
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: right like have Netflix be the ones or if you

46
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: can watch basically anything on television on Netflix except for

47
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: news and until recently sports.

48
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 3: Well, I think, you know, expressing that as an ambition

49
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 3: and also that is a way to organize how the

50
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 3: company thinks about what we're trying to go do is great.

51
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 3: I also think that that's not consistent with saying that

52
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 3: we thought it was realistic that we were going to

53
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 3: be the only thing that people were going to watch, right,

54
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 3: because I also don't think that that's realistic at the

55
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 3: end of the day. So I think there's always going

56
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 3: to be like multiple sources of entertainment, even in the

57
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 3: categories that we serve. We want to be you know,

58
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 3: we want to win as more much of that as

59
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 3: we possibly can. So I'm not you know, the don't

60
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 3: back to being complacent. I'm not happy with the fact,

61
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 3: you know that we're not growing engagement. We should grow

62
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 3: more engagement. I think we will. I expect you'll see

63
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 3: engagement numbers will go up for us. But also I

64
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 3: don't think that I don't think there's a world in

65
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 3: which we be the only thing that people watch.

66
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: A big project I assumed to help grow engagement was

67
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,399
Speaker 1: the new you Use or interface UI that you rolled

68
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: out over the last year plus.

69
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 2: Yep.

70
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: Can you point to some key ways in which that

71
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: has already helped or you think it will help.

72
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 3: Well, I would say a lot of what we've been

73
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 3: doing is essentially re architecting the entire stack. This is

74
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 3: from sort of how algorithms get calculated. We used to

75
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 3: calculate overnight everyone's recommendations. When they show up in the morning,

76
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 3: we would have that baked. Now we do it dynamically

77
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 3: on the fly, and now we've created a UI where

78
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 3: essentially you can you know, connect those those algorithm pipes

79
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 3: in and also launch new modules.

80
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: Can you use words that I'm not even going to

81
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: insult the audience here that I will understand.

82
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, so thank you.

83
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 3: Basically, what happens now is that when we think about.

84
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 2: What titles do you want to watch? Right?

85
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 3: We used to do that overnight and you'd show up

86
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 3: and we'd give you those titles, right. But now the

87
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 3: way that we do it essentially is as you're navigating

88
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 3: the UI, we think about, oh, what are signals that

89
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 3: you're giving.

90
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: I skipped over this thing really quick. I'm not interested

91
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: in that, right.

92
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 2: Right, that's right. So I think that's something that's going

93
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 2: to take us.

94
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 3: I think a while to really build the fullness of

95
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 3: how that delivers, you know, benefit for our users. But

96
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 3: the thing that I can point to right now that

97
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 3: the new UI structure is just designed to go do

98
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 3: and is doing for us, is serving new content needs

99
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,799
Speaker 3: as we expand beyond just film and series.

100
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 2: We spanned a live events and.

101
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 3: The UI has to do a different job, which is like,

102
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 3: why do you want to show up at Thursday at

103
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 3: seven pm? Because oh you're going to watch a you know,

104
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 3: a boxing match that you know you would not otherwise

105
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 3: get to see, Or why do you want to play

106
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 3: a game or those kind of things. That's that's what

107
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 3: it's That's what it's doing for us right now.

108
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: Right when it comes to to live that was something

109
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 1: that you sort of famously said you weren't going to

110
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: do sports for a while. And I know it's not

111
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: just sports, you also do other live events, but the

112
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: sports have been the biggest. Right Your NFL game was

113
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: really big. Boxing match was huge, or both boxing matches,

114
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: the logan or the the Jake Paul one will decide

115
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: if it's really a boxing match.

116
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 2: Sure, very good offer you. Well, I'll refrain, how much more.

117
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: Are you going to invest in live events over the

118
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: next few years and are there things that you know

119
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: that you want to add to the service that you

120
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: don't have right now.

121
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 3: So it's a start with you know live, we think

122
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 3: of as an important additional form of entertainment that we

123
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 3: can deliver members. It's sort of a different style of

124
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 3: entertainment you know where. Actually it's interesting because in contrast

125
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 3: to our on demand service, which has tremendous benefit because

126
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 3: you control the entertainment when you want to watch it,

127
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 3: the big benefit alive is that we're all experiencing the

128
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 3: same thing at the same time, and that has tremendous

129
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 3: sort of social and conversational relevance. Right, So we want

130
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 3: to do more of it. It represents a very small

131
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 3: fraction of our total investment, It represents a small fraction

132
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 3: of our total hours, but we think it also does

133
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 3: a different job, so it sort of.

134
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: Comes does it have a different impact, Like do you

135
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: see because from the third party data I've seen, you

136
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: tend to see huge surges and sign ups around some

137
00:05:58,200 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: of those bigger events.

138
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we expected it will do the same

139
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 3: work ultimately that our other content does, which basically is

140
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 3: a reason to sign up and a reason to stay.

141
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 2: That's you know, at the end of the day.

142
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 3: Now, I think we back to your point about like

143
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 3: what do we know we want to get and stuff

144
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 3: like that. We're still really learning in the space, so

145
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 3: we're really trying to figure out, like, okay, what, how

146
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 3: is this delivering value to members? How is this delivering

147
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,799
Speaker 3: value to the business. And there's definitely a different phenomena

148
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 3: where these are punctuated.

149
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 2: Moments to your point, right, which you.

150
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 3: Know, people go like, Okay, if I'm maybe on the

151
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 3: edge of signing up for Netflix, this might be the

152
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 3: thing that pushes me over, you know, to actually do that.

153
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 3: So I think we'll see different things for sure, but

154
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 3: we really are learning.

155
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 2: As we go.

156
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: I want to throw one poll to the audience before

157
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: we ask the next question, because they are related. If

158
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: we get it up there, I will ask. So I

159
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: just want to I promise Greg I would do this.

160
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: Keep in mind how much these sports cost. Football is

161
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: the most expensive, Tennis is the least expensive. Everything else

162
00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: sort of.

163
00:06:58,320 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 2: Fits in between there.

164
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: So even though Greg and I both like tennis, probably

165
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: smallest audience but also least.

166
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 2: Expensive international audience, what.

167
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: Would you say the odds that you make a bid

168
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: for one of the football packages when the NFL ops

169
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: out of its current deal in twenty nine, or.

170
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 3: Doesn't it you know, it doesn't really fit with our

171
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 3: strategy as we understand it right now. So again back

172
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 3: to your point, we think about what we're doing as

173
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 3: an event's strategy, and it turns out, as you said,

174
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,679
Speaker 3: sports are big events, right, and so we can plug

175
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 3: those into that strategy. But we also want to make

176
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 3: sure that we're being really really disciplined about you know,

177
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 3: are we buying, are we investing in ways that are

178
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 3: profitable for the business and some of the big league

179
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 3: sports things.

180
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,239
Speaker 2: We don't actually have a way to figure out that math.

181
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: So okay, all right, although it doesn't I mean, isn't

182
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: the sort of the magic of football. I get that

183
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: the NFL is maybe tricky for you, and that it's

184
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,679
Speaker 1: not global and how expensive it is. But the reason

185
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: it's so successful it's the one sport where like every

186
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: Sunday sort of is an event.

187
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 3: It's amazing regard, right, But I think to some degree

188
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 3: that lack of substitutability is of course what gives the

189
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 3: rights holders the leverage.

190
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 2: And it's done a pretty good job at Yeah, I

191
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 2: know you have.

192
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: I can tell that you guys have this vision of

193
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,679
Speaker 1: where like you have more leverage than the sports leagues

194
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: that are negotiation and that has basically never happened in media.

195
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 3: That's right, until it happens, I would say you should

196
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 3: have some skepticism about that.

197
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 2: Okay.

198
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: One other thing that you guys have basically never done

199
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: is large scale em a day. But the bigger you get,

200
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: the more you tend to get tied to different companies,

201
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,839
Speaker 1: different deals. There's been some reports around you guys being

202
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: interested in Warner Brothers Discovery. Is there any truth to that?

203
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 3: I would say this, you know, we come from a

204
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 3: deep perriage of being builders rather than buyers. I also

205
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 3: think that it's you know, one should have a reasonal

206
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 3: amount of skepticism.

207
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 2: Around big media mergers.

208
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 3: They don't have an amazing track record over you know,

209
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 3: the history of time, so you know, I would say

210
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 3: it's our also, it's our responsibility to evaluate all our

211
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 3: options and.

212
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: Try so you'll look, you'll have a conversation, but the

213
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 1: odds of an offer are pretty low.

214
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

215
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 3: Our job is to figure out, like what's the best

216
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 3: way to grow our business? Right, and we have to

217
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 3: think you know, really carefully, like how do we invest

218
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 3: our capital, our time, and our attention and if that's

219
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 3: the best way to do it, great, and if it's not,

220
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 3: then we should do something else.

221
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: What area you're investing a lot of capital right now?

222
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: Or you might quibble with a lot, but it is

223
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: gaming small fraction of our total investment. But yeah, I

224
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: appreciate you saying that you've been offering video games for

225
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: four years? What would you what grade would little over three?

226
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: Little over three? Sorry? What grade would you give your

227
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: gaming efforts so far?

228
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 2: I'll give us a B minus? How's that?

229
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: Okay?

230
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 2: Yeah?

231
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 3: I would say, look, you want maybe just to start

232
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 3: where we're at right one. You know, it's a big

233
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 3: market you one hundred and forty billion dollars X China

234
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 3: X Russia. That doesn't that's just consumer spend that has

235
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 3: include ads. So we think it's a real opportunity for

236
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 3: us to try and earn a percentage of that over

237
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 3: a period of time. A lot of what we've been

238
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 3: doing is really just building the foundation, right We've been

239
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 3: doing a lot of like you know, real hard plumbing work.

240
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 3: But now we're getting to a really interesting place where

241
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 3: you know, we're going to deliver more of what our

242
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:14,719
Speaker 3: vision of what we.

243
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 2: Should be doing in the space is.

244
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 3: And we call it games because that's a you know,

245
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 3: a rubric or you know, a name that we all

246
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 3: can relate to. But really I would look at this

247
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 3: as how do we add more interactive capability? So that

248
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 3: means even things like taking our live program back to

249
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 3: the live program and how to add interactivity with live.

250
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 3: So we've got voting right now that we're in testing

251
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 3: on with David Chang and his live clicking show. You'll

252
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 3: see that interact those interactive features come up with star Search,

253
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 3: we do a lot another live event and non sports

254
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 3: live event of star Search.

255
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 2: So that's an exciting place to be. And then it

256
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 2: gets also.

257
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you can see this is sort of how

258
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 3: the Dave Chang experience is working. And you know, again

259
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 3: this is you know, the tip of the iceberg, and

260
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 3: we'll get deeper into this as we go. We're also

261
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 3: I think more clear around what are the gaming areas

262
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 3: back to the true you know, the more or traditional

263
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 3: gaming areas that we are operating in. You know, it's

264
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 3: a lot of interactive games around our IP. So you

265
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 3: think about what you did with skid squid game. I

266
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 3: don't know if you saw Throng. Let's based on the

267
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 3: Black Mirror universe, but it's worth checking out because if

268
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 3: you're a Black Mirror fan, it's so in universe, it's

269
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 3: and the fans of Black Mirror just loved it because

270
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 3: it was like they were having a meta experience there too.

271
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 3: But even like Happy Gilmore, we did a golf game

272
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 3: with Happy at Gilmore that got a remarkable amount of consumption.

273
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: So do most of the people who use Netflix know

274
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: you offer games?

275
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 3: I would say, And that's part of frankly, what's been

276
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 3: hard about this, And I think it's it's hard for

277
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 3: any brand that has a deep, you know, consumer sense

278
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 3: of what are you doing for me?

279
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 2: Right? And then you're like, well, I'm going to do

280
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 2: this as well, and you have.

281
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 3: It takes a while to really build up that sense

282
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,359
Speaker 3: of what's happening. But it's not it's not that dissimilar

283
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 3: to let's say we launched, you know, in a new country,

284
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 3: like you know, you went to Japan, right, So when

285
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 3: we started in Japan, two percent of the Japanese population

286
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 3: it ever heard of Netflix, So nobody knew what nobody

287
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 3: would nobody eve knew our name much.

288
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 2: Let's be able to tell you what we were doing.

289
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 2: And we're doing pay TV.

290
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 3: Service in a country that doesn't really have a great

291
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 3: PayTV you know operation we're doing over the internet in

292
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,719
Speaker 3: a way, it was totally new, and so you've got

293
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 3: to every day build a little bit of like what

294
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 3: are we doing, who we are, what are we you know,

295
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 3: how are we here to serve you? So that ten

296
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 3: year journey, let's say, you know, just did the tenth

297
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 3: universary in Japan. You know, tremendous progress over ten years,

298
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 3: but it took us a long time. And I think

299
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 3: you know, the gaming situation is not dissimilar to that.

300
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: How much is it an impediment that for the most

301
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: part now you can only play it on your on

302
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: your phone.

303
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 3: Well, I would say, you know, the phone is what's

304
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 3: great about it is it's a well developed gaming ecosystem,

305
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 3: right so you know, folks notifying games there. But it's

306
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 3: also a highly competitive gaming ecosystem, so it's developed. This

307
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 3: gives you both that upside and the downside. But what's

308
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 3: exciting is that now we are moving beyond the phone

309
00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 3: to the TV. So I mentioned like one of the

310
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 3: gaming areas we're going after. One of the big gaming

311
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 3: areas we're going after now is you know, social gaming experiences.

312
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 2: It will show up on your TV.

313
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 3: So we are now announcing we're announced here actually that

314
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 3: we're going to have these social party games, a pack

315
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 3: of social party games that you can play on your

316
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 3: TV with your phone as the controller. And it's things

317
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,599
Speaker 3: like you know, recognizable games like Boggle. You got Pictionary,

318
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 3: We've got a Lego party game, We've got Tetris, We've

319
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 3: got like a Mafia style Who've done it? This is

320
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 3: This is me and our CTO Elizabeth playing Boggle here,

321
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 3: which is it's we're two very competitive people, so it

322
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 3: got it got pretty ugly.

323
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 2: Who I'm not going to say that means he lost.

324
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,839
Speaker 3: Oh does it when she watched a video my friend,

325
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 3: you triggered my competitors. But this is again, this is

326
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 3: you know, so it's your phone, which is an incredible device,

327
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 3: and there's all sorts of things you're going to be

328
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 3: able to do on your phone that you.

329
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 2: Can't do on a normal controller, like touch screen.

330
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 3: And this is USA basically picking our words on that,

331
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 3: and it's you know, it's dead simple to use, it's intuitive.

332
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 3: And then this is you know, us on the earliest

333
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,719
Speaker 3: days of how we actually can use that and if

334
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 3: we you know, basically are going to like unleash this

335
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 3: with a bunch of creators and they're going to go

336
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 3: figure out stuff that we didn't even imagine that they

337
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 3: can do with that interactivity.

338
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: Got so you made to comment earlier about how it's

339
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: never been more competitive in media. How worried are you

340
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: about competition from the second richest person in the world.

341
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 3: Well, I guess I'm not sure that that's exactly who's

342
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 3: competing with us, And that's maybe a good question. Well, look,

343
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 3: I mean start with like, it's fun to have some

344
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 3: new vigor in the competitive ecosystem and the dynamic there.

345
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 2: I think it's exciting.

346
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 3: It sort of you know, keeps everybody on their toes

347
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 3: and we're trying to figure out everyone like sort of

348
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 3: figure ouare what.

349
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 2: Does that mean and what does it do?

350
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 3: I also think you have to go back to like

351
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 3: doesn't change the business fundamentals, right, you know, you still

352
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 3: have a bunch of problems to go solve and a

353
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 3: business to grow, and so we'll.

354
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 2: See what happens.

355
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: So you bid against them for UFC, they come way

356
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: over the top, that doesn't worry, that doesn't send the

357
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: signal that maybe they'll be able to spend somewhat irrationally for.

358
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 3: Loucause we are constantly dealing with situation where our competitors

359
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 3: outbid us. And what I try and remember our team

360
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 3: is we should bid up to the point where we

361
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 3: think it's going to deliver value back to business. And

362
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 3: if somebody outbids us, I say you should applaud and

363
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 3: say go with God and try and monetize the heck

364
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 3: out of that.

365
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: Is it fair to say that YouTube is the stiffest

366
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: competition or at least for attention.

367
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 2: Sorry saying YouTube? Oh, YouTube, Yeah, for sure, they're a competitor,

368
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 2: of course.

369
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, would you say that the toughest for you?

370
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 2: I mean, they're a formidable competitor, for sure.

371
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 3: I mean, and I think because of some degree they

372
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 3: compete in a different access you know. I think it's

373
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 3: you know, our thought on competition is always the hardest

374
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 3: competition to deal with because they you know, it's hard

375
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 3: to measure how you're doing things. They have angles against

376
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 3: you that you might not you know, be familiar with.

377
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 3: And so I think we're developing an understand ending of

378
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 3: like what's our place in the ecosystem relative to them

379
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 3: that we basically shore that up. We want to be

380
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 3: the place where we invest ahead with.

381
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: What is that like. Do you look at that and

382
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: say we need to do UGC? Do you look at

383
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: that and say we should skim off their biggest talent.

384
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 3: I think the dumbest move would be to try and

385
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 3: match them in every way, because I think you have

386
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 3: to really know what lane you're operating in and then

387
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 3: you try and be excellent at that and then defend

388
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 3: that lane.

389
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 2: And so you know what do we do? We invest

390
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 2: ahead with creators.

391
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 3: So that they can tell their stories in really really

392
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 3: compelling ways, in a way that the YouTube model doesn't

393
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 3: really allow them to go do. So we want to

394
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 3: work with the best creators in the planet. Some of

395
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 3: those folks are going to come from YouTube, they're going

396
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 3: to come from TikTok, They're going to come from traditional

397
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 3: places all over the place. We want to be the

398
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 3: place that they want to go when they're ready to

399
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 3: tell that story at that level. And then our job

400
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 3: is to find the biggest global audience for them and

401
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 3: make that really you know, a strong reinforced loop.

402
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was talking with your old friend Robert earlier,

403
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: and he made a parallel of sorts that I think

404
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: other people have done between two of the dawn of

405
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: UGC and where we're at with AI entertainment right now.

406
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: A lot of people over the last week in Hollywood

407
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: very alarmed about Sora, new product from Open Ai Netflix.

408
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:16,239
Speaker 1: It seems like has been slightly less reactionary than some

409
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: of its peers, if I'm being fair. You guys have

410
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: talked openly about using AI at least one project, So

411
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 1: why disclose that? And how are you using AI in

412
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 1: terms of the creative process, not tech product, any of that.

413
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 3: So I think a better parallel, in my mind is

414
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 3: actually the Internet rather than u GC. Sure, So that's

415
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 3: how I think about it generally. Maybe just to start with,

416
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 3: we've been in the AI business for people that haven't

417
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 3: tracked for two decades, and so we think of that

418
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 3: heritage our tech DNA, large sets of data, scaled consumer products,

419
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 3: scaled business processes, including on the content production side, as

420
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 3: being the reason that we actually have an advantage to

421
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 3: lean into how we use these technologies. We want to

422
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 3: do so in a disciplined way, though, because I think

423
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,719
Speaker 3: you can you can throw a lot of stuff around

424
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 3: that's not really going to matter, and we want to

425
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 3: figure out where the places that that deliver value to

426
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 3: the business. Consumer experience is one, Advertising is another big one.

427
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 3: You mentioned content production. We feel like our job is

428
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 3: to give our creators a suite of tools that we've

429
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 3: vetted in our work together orchestraight together. Well, they can

430
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 3: use other tools to them. That's up to them to

431
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 3: figure out what they want to go do. But you know,

432
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 3: we see a lot happening in previews and shot planning,

433
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 3: you know, and scheduling and perform a budgeting.

434
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 2: And all that stuff.

435
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 3: We see a lot happen in the you know, sort

436
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 3: of post side of things, the VFX, and you know.

437
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 2: You mentioned examples that we've used before.

438
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 3: That's a pretty good example where we've been able to

439
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,719
Speaker 3: do shots that we wouldn't able to do in other ways.

440
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 3: And so we see that, you know, continue to proliferate,

441
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 3: and you know, we'll let the creators lead the way

442
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 3: in that process, but I think our job is to

443
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 3: is to assist them in that rather than you know,

444
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 3: hold back.

445
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: So do you I'm curious because some of your peers

446
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: in Hollywood have sued some of the AI companies. Do

447
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: you feel confident that an open AI I, a Google,

448
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 1: a Meta or some of the smaller ones like the

449
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 1: Journey have violated copyrights to you guys own Well.

450
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 3: I mean, I think we're in this process where you're

451
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 3: going to see a lot of you know, people trying stuff.

452
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 3: But I would say we have a very strong position

453
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 3: that you know, IP should be protected.

454
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 2: You know, we believe in supporting creators.

455
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 3: They should tell amazing stories with us, with other people,

456
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 3: and they're that output should be protected. And so we

457
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 3: believe strongly that tool creators, some of the folks that

458
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 3: you mentioned, and also consumers. We have sort of a

459
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 3: legal standard around this, whether it's coming from an AI

460
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 3: model or from another human creator, like if you copy

461
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 3: you know without AI. You know, we've got a legal

462
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,199
Speaker 3: standard around that, and we shouldn't force those standards and

463
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 3: be strong about that.

464
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: Another area where some of your peers have gotten into

465
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: conflict that you have thus far avoided, although it flared

466
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 1: up a bit recently, is in politics at a moment

467
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: where you have a president who kind of has gone

468
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: after a lot of elite institutions, probably has treated nasty

469
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 1: things about your company at one point or another. How

470
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: do you think about you do you have to do

471
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 1: anything to proactively defend yourself.

472
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 3: I think we try to stay focused on serving members

473
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 3: and serving the business as being our overarching organizing principle,

474
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 3: and it comes to, you know, some of the things

475
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 3: that trip you know, we've been pretty clear about our

476
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 3: position that we are in the business of entertaining the world.

477
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 3: That is our mission.

478
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 1: But in entertaining the world, you are invariably going to

479
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: program certain things that a lot of people don't that

480
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 1: people don't like.

481
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 3: Right, that we are doing our job well, and so

482
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 3: just to be clear, like we're trying to now program

483
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 3: for a number of human beings on the planet that's

484
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 3: approaching a billion people, those people all do not think

485
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 3: the same. They have different views of what their entertainment

486
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 3: should be delivering to them. So if we are doing

487
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 3: our job right, we're working with a wide diversity of

488
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 3: creators and we're supporting their ability to tell you their

489
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 3: story and their own way. And that again, if we're

490
00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 3: doing it right, there's something on the service where every

491
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 3: one of us as employees, where every one of our

492
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 3: members probably thinks is not great or they don't like

493
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 3: or maybe they think it's harmful and frankly, if we

494
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 3: don't have that, we're actually not doing our job correctly, right,

495
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 3: And so we've been pretty clear that that's the business

496
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 3: we're in and we're going to keep doing that.

497
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: But you do every so often take stuff down when

498
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 1: governments still like it. We just haven't had it happen here.

499
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 3: Would well to be very clear, we do not respond

500
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 3: to government pressure. When the government has legal claim that

501
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,199
Speaker 3: there's we have to be you're legally obliged to respond to,

502
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 3: then we react to that, but we then actually post

503
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 3: that so that there's transparents around that. And again that's

504
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 3: like happened five times in the last year, right, So

505
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 3: it's not I mean, it's if you think about the

506
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 3: kind of content that we carry in the number of

507
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 3: places that we carry, we've generally been successful at having

508
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 3: a wide range of content up in every place that

509
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 3: we operate.

510
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: Okay, we're going to run through a few things quickly

511
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: because I really have a minute plus left. Would you

512
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: have made more money from kpe up Demon Hunters if

513
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: you'd released it in theaters?

514
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 2: I don't think so.

515
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 3: At the end of the day, I mean, it's worked

516
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 3: incredibly well for us. I mean, if you cherry pick

517
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 3: it and I don't, I don't know. Maybe I don't know,

518
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 3: it doesn't really matter, but that doesn't that would not

519
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 3: be a reason to go.

520
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 2: Change the strategy. So that's probably the more fundament question.

521
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: You've got a bunch of merchant Halloween costumes and stuff.

522
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 2: One more K pop question.

523
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: Has anyone approached you about a theme park attraction tied to.

524
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 2: Not that I'm aware of.

525
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 3: I bet you it's happened, though, you know, and I mean,

526
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 3: and you know we were doing these in a.

527
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: Very delicate way of saying it's happened, But I'm gonna

528
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: because I'm far enough removed from it, I'm not going

529
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: to touch.

530
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 3: That I don't actually know, So I'm legitim me telling

531
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 3: you I don't actually know, but I wouldn't be surprised

532
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 3: of it asn't happened. But we've got these Netflix houses

533
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 3: that we're building now, which would be the kind of

534
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 3: places where we want to put those kind of experiences in.

535
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 1: Will Netflix syndicate its programming to third parties within the

536
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: next three to five years.

537
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 2: I doubt it.

538
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 3: I don't just I don't think there's a lot of

539
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 3: value in it, and I'm not sure why we would

540
00:22:58,800 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 3: do it.

541
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: Okay, last one, who's a better tennis player? You or

542
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 1: Bill Gates?

543
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 2: You're really pretty fine. I think I'm a pretty good

544
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:09,439
Speaker 2: test player.

545
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 1: That is not an answer to the question, Greg, Thank

546
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: you very much, Thank you, m HM.
