Chapter 1: How does the sporting calendar look after American football season?
I guess when American football ends, everyone just assumes the sporting calendar slows down. This is a niche sport lollapalooza. I mean, I was locked in. I had to have four screens yesterday. There's so many things going on, so many events I want to be at. Say you're watching the NBA and you see Larry David and Stephen A. Smith touching wood and you're like, I want to touch some wood.
Chapter 2: What are the benefits of using the GameTime app?
Well, let me tell you somebody that can help you touch that wood. GameTime. The GameTime app. Yeah, you could see what the courtside seats would look like. I'm sure it's not too hard to imagine, but you could also see what your seats look like from the 400 level or 300 level. Any seat in the house.

Miami people, if you haven't used the promo code DAN to save yourself some cash, go ahead and do it. One of the things that didn't make my screen last night was White Lotus. I've kind of checked out on this. Whoa, that's it? No, I haven't watched a single one, nor have I shown any interest in watching it because everybody told me that the season started a little slower.
I did watch last season, but I also joined In Progress, and I was kind of waiting for word of mouth to get to a point where I wanted to take part in the social commentary and not miss out. And a lot of people feel strongly about White Lotus. I know we got a lot of fans here, so I'm not going to give anything away.
But the show started yesterday, apparently, with a scene with two actors I hold in very high regard. I love Walton Goggins. But another actor, an Academy Award winning actor, shared a scene with him. And he appears to be a full-fledged member of the cast now. And this was not announced. This was a surprise. And there was like 20 minutes of shared time to lead off this episode.
And I think I may be in. How do you feel about surprise cast members?

Chapter 3: Why are people divided over the new season of White Lotus?
Chapter 4: Is there a surprise cast member on White Lotus?
And I think I may be in. How do you feel about surprise cast members?
It was a surprise cast appearance, and I don't want to give anything away other than we already gave away that there is a surprise guest appearance. But if you know who the person is, you know anything about them, it makes total sense. because of something about them that I cannot reveal without saying who the person is.
Chapter 5: What criticisms are there about the pacing of White Lotus?
We're not going to spoil it. I believe the fairest criticism I've seen so far of White Lotus, wherever it is that you're saying slow, is they've had about two episodes worth of murder mystery. They've tried to string out over four episodes that there's just some fat in it that's unnecessary to make it hour-long, beautiful episodes of rich tourist landscape.
They could have really condensed some of the storyline. They added an episode this season because the first two seasons was like every day was an episode. And this season, this whole like lunar party or what, full moon party, right? They got its own episode, which is out of character. But they could have really like kind of like Jason Isaacs, we kind of know what is going on there.
We didn't need to stretch that out over four episodes.
I don't know. I mean, I feel like we kind of need to see how it ends, right? To figure out what details we're missing that's happening in these episodes that we're not thinking are that important until it kind of all gets wrapped together at the end, right?
Chapter 6: How does character ambiguity affect White Lotus?
I'm open-minded about it. The ending could make it all worthwhile. I agree with you. I'm very excited.
Is Jason Isaacs a good guy or a bad guy in this show? He's a pill popper. But is he a good guy or a bad guy?
Everyone sort of operates in the gray in White Lotus. No, but he's a defrauder. He's a person who's committed crimes, it appears.
That he wasn't really the driving force on what was talked into, but still committed the crime.
We don't know a lot about him, but I think you can deduce. The world is closing in on him. Do you mean spiritually in his soul, or do you mean his actions? We could get deep about it.
It's someone who's done wrong that you seemingly are finding yourself possibly rooting for.
I can never root for Jason Isaacs. There are certain roles that actors play that they are never gonna break the stigma associated with that character. Patriot. I mean, dude is a metal stand scumbag. Just pure evil. Do you know how hard it is for me to watch a movie and you're sharing scenes with Mel Gibson and I'm like, you're the asshole.
Is the word association for typecast George Costanza? Like is there a better one than that? Just like someone that couldn't work. Jason Alexander? Oscar the Grouch. Someone that couldn't work, that's true.
