Spoiler alert, if you've not read, watched or listened to the media content discussed in this episode, it will be spoiled for you.

So please refrain from doing so until you have consumed said content.

Thank you.

This is julio's Corner, my corner of the internet, where I talk about whatever is on my mind.

Usually, I'll talk about TV shows, movies, or whatever new content has taken my interest.

This episode is being recorded on Sunday, August 4th, 2024.

And today's episode, we're making a little side detour.

I was gonna talk about just the docu-series on Netflix called Receiver, which is a follow-up docu-series to the original one, which was called Quarterback.

These are produced by Peyton Manning through his Omaha productions team, where they follow the lives of football players.

And in the first one, Quarterback, obviously, it was four quarterbacks.

It was, or three quarterbacks.

Was it three or four?

It was Kirk Cousins, Patrick Mahomes, and this other guy.

So three quarterbacks.

So it was a Journeyman quarterback.

Something, I forgot his name.

He's a second string quarterback on some team now.

He wasn't in the show.

He was with the Atlanta Falcons, but now he's moved to another team.

Maybe Philadelphia?

I don't remember exactly.

But yeah, he's not a starter.

So anyway, the follow up is called Receiver, where you guessed it, it's following a bunch of receivers.

In this case, there's four of them.

Before we get more into more detail in Receiver, there was an event that happened this weekend known as SummerSlam.

And I did have a wrestling podcast not too long ago when they did Clash of the Castle.

And as I said, I've been following wrestling since WrestleMania 40.

So I'm getting back into it.

I'm following the storylines.

And there was a little bit of a catharsis in SummerSlam because there was a couple of story developments that were happening, especially with Rhea Ripley, because last I spoke, I believe I told you about how she got injured and had to lose her title.

And Liv Morgan, the one who injured her, was the one who ended up getting that title.

And then there's been this love triangle thing going on between Liv Morgan, Dominic mysterio, and Rhea Ripley.

And so there's been a bit of a...

And of course, there's a spoiler warning at the beginning of the show.

So what I say here, if you have not watched SummerSlam, is of course spoilers.

So yeah, there's been a lot of further development of the story, some closing of some questions answered, I should say, but obviously a more, you know, a bit of a cliffhanger and more to follow.

So anyway, last I spoke about wrestling, I did not know the titles.

I kept getting confused.

So here we are.

Let me tell you what the titles are now.

So you have the Women's World championship Belt, currently held by Liv Morgan.

That's the one that Rhea Ripley had, and has since vacated due to an injury.

Which she's now sort of recovered, because she kind of re-injured her shoulder again during the match in SummerSlam.

She dislocated her shoulder while taking on Liv Morgan, but then she re-snapped it back in place.

But obviously, there's going to be a bit of a healing process.

So we'll see.

So anyway, Liv Morgan is currently the Women's World champion.

Then you have the other female belt that I never knew the name for it.

It's called the WWE Women's champion.

So you have Women's World champion, and you have WWE Women's champion.

So not a World champion, but a champion.

That one is now being held by Nia Jax.

She defeated Bayley at SummerSlam.

Then you have...

So those are the two female single title belts.

Then you have a couple of men, male belts.

So first off is the World Heavyweight champion belt.

And the World Heavyweight championship belt was held by Seth Freakin Rollins, but he lost it at WrestleMania 40 to Drew McIntyre.

And then he, five minutes later, lost it to Damian Priest of Judgment Day via his Money in the Bank suitcase.

So he was the champion from, you know, since WrestleMania 40 until last night's SummerSlam, in which he lost it to Gunter, thanks to a betrayal by his fellow Judgment Day member Finn Baylor.

So two betrayals from Judgment Day, one from Dominik with Rhea, one with Finn.

So that's the World Heavyweight championship belt.

Then you have the undisputed WWE championship belt, which was, you know, owned by, held by Roman Reigns of the Bloodline, who Cody Rhodes beat in WrestleMania 40.

He is still currently the undisputed WWE champion.

You have the Intercontinental champion, who Gunter, now the World Heavyweight champion, he had in WrestleMania, but he lost it to Sami Zayn.

And then Sami Zayn just now lost it to Braun Breaker.

So he's the new, Braun Breaker is the new Intercontinental champion.

You have the United States championship Belt, was held by Logan Paul, but now it is held by LA Knight, who beat him at SummerSlam.

And then you have the World Tag Team champions, which is currently the Judgment Day.

They beat Awesome Truth, I think is the name of the group, with R-Truth and The Miz.

And you have the WWE Tag Team championship Belt, which is now held by The Bloodline.

They beat DIY, was the group that held that one.

And then you have the Women's Tag Team championship Belt, which is currently held by Al Bafire and Isla Dawn, of the, I forget the name of their group, like Unholy Trinity or Unholy union or something like that.

These Irish gals.

So yeah, those are the belts.

So yeah, let me go, I already gave you some backstory to some of them, but yeah, let me get to the breakdown.

So you had the first match at SummerSlam, Rhea Ripley versus Liv Morgan.

Rhea was going to end Leah, sorry, wow, I can't talk.

Rhea Ripley was going to end Liv Morgan's Revenge Tour by regaining her belt and proving that Dirty Dom, Dominic mysterio, is her man.

Well, the joke's on her.

Dirty Dominic, towards the end of the fight, he stopped Rhea Ripley from using a chair against Liv Morgan, because in her anger of, this is like her second time popping her shoulder back in play, so not only is she in extreme pain, but obviously she's really angry and she wants to finish off Liv.

So she grabbed the chair, but Dirty Dom stopped her saying, hey, you can't win the belt if you use a chair, you're going to lose by disqualification.

So she agreed.

But while she was having that conversation, she got sneak attack by Liv Morgan, and then Liv did her move.

I forget what the name of her move is, her finishing move is, but Rhea came out of it.

And then a few minutes later in the midst of that battle, Dominic threw the chair back in the ring, for Liv to use and distract the referee.

So then, I think it's called the oblivion.

So, what's her name?

Liv Morgan did the oblivion again, using the chair to finish off Rhea Ripley.

And then as she is laying there or sitting there on the mat, defeated, she witnesses Dominic picking up Liv Morgan and then planting a kiss on her, showing that he switched sides and he's smiling the whole way around, you know, the whole way out the stadium, betraying her, his supposed love, Rhea Ripley.

So, in the back, you see Damian Priest, the other leader of the Judgment Day, like looking for him, like where the hell is Dominic?

And Finn Balor, well, the other two scatter.

JD McDonough and Carlito, they both scatter, and it's just Finn Balor there.

And he's like, I don't know, man, we can't find him.

We try reaching him, but we can't find him.

And Damian Priest questions him, like a little suspicious.

Did you know this was going to happen?

Did you have an idea?

And he's like, no, of course not.

Why would I know?

So now he feels bad that he accused, what's his name?

Finn Baylor of knowing that Dominic was going to betray them.

So anyway, he says, don't worry, I'll go look for him.

And then he walks out the club.

That's where chapter one of that story line, of the bloodline ends, basically.

And then you have the next match is Brawnbreaker versus Sami Zayn.

And yeah, it was a good fight.

Sami Zayn this time around did not best Brawnbreaker.

Brawnbreaker beat him fair and square doing his move, the tackle using the ropes.

I think they call it the gore.

So yeah, the spear, they call it the spear.

So he speared him and took him out.

So yeah, so now Brawnbreaker, that's how Brawnbreaker became the Intercontinental champion.

So even though he is sort of a heel, because he's always sneak attacking people, because he feels disrespected, he fought a fair fight against Sami Zayn and defeated him fairly.

You know, there's no way to take that match away from him.

He won fair and square with no outside help, no illegal means, just pure brutality.

After that fight, you have LA Knight against Logan Paul, and the MGK shows up as Logan Paul's cohort, which is suitable, right?

So for anyone who, I guess, follows the news or maybe follow the Olympics or whatever, I haven't really been following it, but apparently Logan Paul said some transphobic comments, or at least he, if he didn't say them, he associated with the transphobic comments that have been coming out about this female boxer that beat another female boxer.

They were calling her a trans woman, I guess, because she looks kind of manlier or whatever.

And it's actually, it was just another, I think she was from Turkey, and she beat a woman from like a European country.

I mean, Turkey is still, it's a European country, but you know what I mean, like a more Western Europe.

So like in England or France or Germany, so white, more Caucasian, quote unquote.

Whereas, I mean, even though Turkey is also Caucasian, but regardless, they're not as Caucasian as say the British and the French and the German and the Italians.

It was an Italian woman, I think, that lost.

Yeah, so it was a Turkey beat Italy in this female boxing match.

Don't quote me on that.

I could be wrong about the details, but I believe it was an Italian woman that lost to a Turkey woman.

And there's been these weird claims that the woman representing Turkey is a trans woman, and she isn't.

But I guess someone looked at her chromosomes, and she has a little more male chromosomes than female chromosomes, which is a little ridiculous, because we don't ever...

So now we're moving the gold post about what is a woman, because I mean, it's a social construct, really, but if you want to get biological about it, she's a cis woman.

So now we can't start talking levels.

But this seems to be a theme in the Olympics, especially in women's sports.

They don't ever really go into detail about chromosomes and testosterone levels in male sports.

But with female sports, they tend to do this with people of color.

And like I said, Turkey is technically white, but for some circles, they're not as white as other European countries.

So anyway, the point is Logan Paul is associated with that whole controversy.

And on top of that, he's already a heel.

And why do I bring that up?

Well, because, you know, MGK.

So generally, what's been the modus operandi or the MO of Logan Paul is he'll always bring someone with him, a celebrity of some or an influencer.

In the last match he had, he had that kid from YouTube, Something Speed, I Show Speed or I Quick Speed.

I don't know his name well.

I don't follow him.

I just know that he always has to say that Ronaldo is better.

Like he's a big Cristiano Ronaldo fan.

And so he's always praising Ronaldo.

But anyway, it's usually these jerkish type of characters.

So it's part of the course that MGK is his special guest.

I'm not a fan of MGK.

And yeah, Eminem beat him with a kill shot.

So to be associated with MGK who, yeah, it's perfect heel move, it just makes sense.

But anyway, moving on, I'm totally digressing.

The fight goes on, Eli Knight, you know, beats him.

And despite Logan Paul's dirty plays and trying to get the brass knuckles from MGK to try to knock him out illegally, but without getting caught, so he can win the fight, he didn't really hit him as hard.

He just did a quick jab.

That was as much as he was able to get on him.

But it wasn't enough.

And Eli Knight defeated Logan Paul for the United States championship belt, which is, I feel, I found it satisfactory.

I am, I'm sick of, well, maybe not sick, but I'm tired of Logan Paul having a belt that he's not defending.

It's just like, it's a wasted title.

So now we have an actual wrestler that is going to be able to actually have plenty of matches defending that title.

And who knows what else he'll do with that belt.

The next match was Nia Jax versus Bayley.

And for the most part, Nia Jax was dominating that match.

I didn't really think Bayley could beat her, but there was a point in the match where, because I mean, Bayley is, she's a fighter and she's persistent.

And even though she's not necessarily the most physically imposing fighter in the match or the strongest, somehow she always finds a way with persevering and besting, you know, coming out on top in the end.

Like Sami Zayn, generally speaking, but in this case, Sami Zayn lost.

So in this time, in this case, with Nia Jax, she, you know, it was a pretty, I mean, it was mostly in favor of Nia Jax, but there would be moments where Bayley would all of a sudden turn the tables on her and towards the end of the fight, it looked like she actually had her.

And as she was getting close to beating her, you start hearing the music for Tiffany Stradin, you know, Tiffany Time, Tiffy Time, I guess is what she calls it.

Because, you know, Tiffany is the Money in the Bank winner.

So she has her suitcase that she can always use to claim a title match at any given point.

So Bayley was like, oh no, now I have to deal with her Nia Jax.

So she then, because of that music, she merely attacks Tiffany as she's about to get into the ring, supposedly knocking her out.

And then because of that, she feels pressured to try to finish off Nia Jax.

And of course, you know, Nia Jax is just a more physically imposing character.

So by trying to rush it, she got a little careless and Nia Jax took advantage of that and beat her.

So now Nia Jax became the new, what's the belt again?

I just said it, the new WWE Women's champion.

So Liv Morgan is the Women's World champion, Nia Jax the WWE Women's champion.

Anyways, and in the next match, which is the one that was more, not a title match, but one of those more anticipated matches, it was Drew McIntyre versus CM Punk with special referee, special guest referee Seth Franken Rollins.

And now all three of them have a history with each other, and they all hate each other.

But as you know, in the Clash of the Castle, where Drew McIntyre had a chance of beating Damian Priest for his title, the, what title is it again?

The, I'm so bad at remembering these things, the heavyweight championship, the world's heavyweight championship belt.

As he was about to beat him, you know, he was awarded again, once again by CM Punk.

So, yeah, so since then, actually since WrestleMania when, when CM Punk beat him up a little bit to let, to allow Damian Priest, you know, beat him with with his Money in the Bank challenge.

So ever since that point, he kept rewarding Drew McIntyre from from having a chance of winning because every time he has a title belt, a title match and he's about to win, CM Punk will come in and stop it.

And so I think Drew had two two matches against Priest.

And in both times, when he came close to winning, CM Punk got in the way.

Clash of the Castle was one, and then there was another one.

And so that's it.

He's had it.

And now he wants to go up against CM Punk.

So here we are.

CM Punk, Drew McIntyre, Seth Rollins is the referee.

And for the most part, like Nia Jax, Drew McIntyre was dominating that match.

But CM Punk had a couple of times where he was able to turn the tables.

But the way Drew McIntyre would get distracted by CM Punk, CM Punk was not fully focused on the match because he would get distracted by his bracelet because he has his bracelet with the name of his wife and dog on it, which Drew stole from him after beating him to a pulp in a Monday Night Raw event that was held in Chicago.

Or was it SmackDown?

No, I think it was Chicago.

Yeah, yeah, because it was his hometown.

So he beat the crap out of him at his hometown and stole that bracelet from him.

And then that was the Monday Night Raw before his second chance at trying to win the belt against Damian Priest.

And then of course CM Punk came back and once again stopped them.

So that was it.

So anyways, I digress.

So the point is ever since that point, Damian, sorry, Drew McIntyre has been taunting CM Punk with that bracelet.

And because for whatever reason, CM Punk gets overly emotional because it's the name of his wife and his dog is on that bracelet.

But regardless, during the fight, Drew McIntyre pulled it out, but then it got, and then CM Punk took it off of him at some point when he was winning the battle, but he then lost it and it was just, well, he didn't lose it, but he lost possession of it.

So it was just there on the floor of the ring.

And so, you know, Seth Rollins, so that it wouldn't be in the way and it wouldn't get lost or damaged or stepped on or whatever, he just put it on his wrist just to, you know, as a placeholder.

But CM Punk, instead of thinking rationally, think he just like, as he's about to do his finishing move on Drew, he sees the bracelet on Seth Rollins and he starts getting all emotional about it and getting heated without thinking like, well, there must be a reasonable reason why he does it because he's not your opponent.

He's just a referee holding it.

But no, he he's not thinking rationally at this point.

And Drew McIntyre takes advantage of it and beats him.

So now we have like the final two big cards of the of the night.

You have Damian Priest vs.

Gunter for the, what was it again?

The World Heavyweight championship Belt.

And the fight was pretty.

It was a little more.

Balance, I would say, than, say, Drew vs.

CM Punk or Nia Jax vs.

Bailey.

But but I think for the most part, Damian really did have the advantage, except towards the end when he when he did his two finishing moves and he was about to pin, pin Gunter, he, he put Gunter's body too close to the edge of the mat, which allowed Finn Baylor to immediately lift, what's his name?

Lift Gunter's leg over the rope.

So it's hanging on the rope to make it seem like, you know, without the referee knowing, seeing I should say.

So then as the referee is doing the count, the referee then sees the leg on the rope.

And so he, you know, he or she stops the count because, hey, look, he put his foot on the rope.

You have to, you have to get off him.

We can't continue the count.

But of course, the teleprompter or, is that called teleprompter?

No, not the teleprompter, but the big turbotron or whatever you call those things.

The big screen on in the arena shows the replay.

And of course, Damien Priest now sees the replay.

And realizes, oh damn, my brother in arms, my fellow Judgment Day member betrayed me.

He cheated me out of a win.

Like what the hell?

And he gets distracted by that and tries to go after him.

But that allows Gunther to grab him and put him in a sleeper hold to knock him out for the win.

And of course, the final match of the night, Cody Rhodes versus Solo Sokoa in a Bloodlines Rule match.

Now, the last time there was a Bloodlines Rules match, it was in WrestleMania 40.

And so that means there's no disqualification.

So anyone can show up to assist or you can use weapons or whatever.

So in my mind, when Cody agreed to Bloodlines Rules, I was hoping, okay, great.

This does give an opening for Roman Reigns to get involved in the match.

And at first, it just seemed like it was just gonna be a standard one-on-one match, Solo Sokoa versus Cody Rhodes.

But then eventually the new Bloodlines started showing up.

So you had Tommy Tunga and Tungalowa come in and assist in beating up Cody, but he wouldn't let, you know, he wouldn't keep his shoulders down to get pinned for the final count.

And then of course, Kevin Owens and Randy Orton show up to chase Demoway.

So of course, that leaves Jacob Fatu, the third new member of the Bloodline to show up and get in the way of the match, which he does in spectacular fashion.

But when he did his new standard where he places his victim's body on the announcer table and then he goes on to the top rope of the ring and then jumps dives into a frog splash from there on to the announcer's table, it looks like he might have badly damaged his right knee or leg.

It didn't look good.

Like he started screaming like, oh, I can't move.

I can't move.

So that wasn't good for Jacob Fatu, I mean, because he had a promising run that was about to happen.

But now it looks like he's going to be sidelined because of due to an injury, because he might have broken his leg or something.

But anyways, after doing that move, it gives Solstico the perfect opportunity to try to pin him.

And he drags Cody Rhodes into the ring.

He tries to pin him, but Cody still manages to pull out before the third count.

And then, of course, you hear the music of Roman Reigns.

And Roman Reigns shows up.

And I was ecstatic to see that.

I was clapping vociferously.

And just exuberantly and just so happy and excited and amped up that he finally shows up.

Because I'm tired of this whole Solstico pretending to be the head of the table when the true tribal chief is Roman Reigns.

So anyway, Roman Reigns shows up, does his two finishing moves on Solo Sokoa, gives the nod of respect, I guess, to Cody.

The acknowledgement, because he did beat him at WrestleMania 40.

And then he leaves the ring, which allows Cody Rose to do his move and then pin him.

And he maintains his championship.

So come Monday, Monday Night Raw, oh, actually, no, SmackDown.

The Bloodlines is in SmackDown, so we have to wait till Friday for that part.

The Bloodlines on Monday Night Raw and the, no, not the Bloodlines.

Judgment Day is at Monday Night Raw and the Bloodlines on SmackDown program.

So Monday, I'll be able to see what's gonna happen, what's gonna be the continuation of the whole Judgment Day storyline with both Rhea and Damian Priest, Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest getting betrayed by Dirty Dom and Finn Baylor.

So now, is there gonna be like, is there gonna be two Judgment Days, or is Rhea and Damian gonna be given the boot out of their own group, the way Bayley was kicked out of her group that she created, known as Damage Control, when EO Sky got rid of her and she became a babyface.

So obviously, this was a move to make Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley into babyfaces, which I mean, Rhea Ripley was already there in a way, because whether, no matter what, she was getting cheered on for her matches.

So obviously, she's a fan favorite, even I'm a big fan.

So I'm looking forward to see what's gonna happen with that on RAW, and Friday will be the bloodline storyline.

But anyways, so that's SummerSlam in a nutshell.

Now, on to the Netflix show, Receiver.

We follow, as I mentioned, we follow four, no, five players.

Two of them are from the 49ers.

You have Deebo Samuel, wide receiver, and George Kittle, the tight end.

We follow Amon Ra St.

Brown from the Detroit lions.

We have Devonte Adams of the Las Vegas Raiders.

And Justin Jefferson of the Minnesota Vikings.

And so this was filmed during last season, which is the first season of the NFL that I've watched in many, many years.

So it was kind of cool rewatching some of these games, because I saw these, most of these games that they played, the lions are the only team I didn't really follow, but I did watch a bunch of 49er games, some Raider games and some Viking games.

So seeing them, seeing it from the this side of this point of view, from the point of view of the receivers was interesting.

And so, yeah, you get to follow the trials and tribulations.

obviously, you know, the 49ers make it to the Super Bowl, but they lose to the Chiefs against Patrick Mahomes and Tracy.

Wow.

Travis Kelce, the lions, they made it to the NFC championship, but they lost to the 49ers.

The Raiders did not go anywhere.

They started off horribly, ended up getting their coach fired, had an interim coach in, what's his name?

antonio Brown, who now is their full-time coach.

And of course, you have the Vikings with Kirk Cousins from the previous show, Quarterback.

So you got to see him in this show, but mostly it was, you know, following Justin Jefferson.

But, you know, obviously Kirk Cousins is his quarterback.

So you got to see Kirk Cousins have his Achilles injury, which ruined his career.

But before that, Justin Jefferson had a hamstring injury and that hamstring injury sidelined him for like six to eight weeks.

So for almost half a season, Justin Jefferson couldn't play.

And then he does come back.

But then he has a he has a back injury.

He gets hit in the back, which causes like a lot of internal bruising.

So that sidelined him for like another game or two.

I'm on St.

Brown had like this, this weird disease that he got in the middle of the season.

It was called like hand and foot disease or something like that, which is similar to like the chickenpox.

So I'm not sure how contagious that was.

Like the germaphobe in me started getting like nervous.

Like why isn't he just staying at home and like not accidentally, you know, not put others at risk, so to speak.

But regardless, he played most of the season.

That was, he had another injury, actually, where he got like hit hard on the side of his sternum, of his torso, I mean.

But I guess it wasn't enough to take him out for a couple of games.

George Kittle, he just got bruised up, but he didn't have a real serious injury until the Super Bowl itself, where it was a pretty bad shoulder injury.

Deebo Samuels had like a shoulder, a serious shoulder injury that took him out for a couple of games.

And Devontae Adams had like a shoulder separation thing happened to him, but he just played through it for the most part.

So yeah, man, you got to really see how these players played through the pain that they went through with the quarterback series.

You didn't really see it as much, but then again, the quarterback is a little, even though, well, Kittles, I mean, not Kittles, Kirk Cousins, you did see get hit a lot.

Patrick Mahomes, you didn't really see him get hit as much as Kirk Cousins.

And then the other guy, I think he got hit a bunch, but he also threw a lot of interceptions.

So they showed more of his interceptions versus him getting hit as much.

But wide receivers are the ones that are running routes through the defense and then making these turns to try to catch the ball from the quarterback.

So I guess they definitely have a higher risk of injury because they're out there in the open, waiting to catch a ball to then get hit once they have the ball.

Whereas the quarterback is behind the line of scrimmage.

He has this offensive line protecting him for the most part.

And then his goal is to get rid of the ball as fast as possible.

As soon as he throws the ball, he's untouchable.

You can't hit him.

Whereas if he doesn't let go of the ball, then it's fair game for the most part.

I mean, they've now made the rules a little more stringent on how you can hit a quarterback.

You can't go below the knee.

You can't go for a head hit, obviously.

You have to hit them between the knee and shoulders.

So basically the torso.

That's the only area you can grab and tackle, for the most part.

But yeah, but if they don't have the ball in their hands anymore, then they're untouchable.

So I guess that's why in quarterback, you don't really, except for the many times that Kirk Cousins got tackled, which means he didn't let go of the ball fast enough, so that allowed him to get hit more.

In this case, in receiver, they run their routes.

They make their, either they go their slants, or they do either a short slant in the middle, just a few yards away, or they go long, they go far, or maybe they stay in the back a little bit, just for a quick pass to them, so they can run out.

Point is, once they have the ball, then the objective of the defense is to take down that player who has the ball in their hand.

That's why they have a higher risk of injury.

So it was kind of cool to see all of that.

And the reason why I bring up Receiver in the first place is because the NFL season is about to come on.

We're already reaching the preseason.

I think this week the preseason starts for the NFL, and then come September, we're back in business, and I get to see my Houston Texans do their thing, and hopefully they do more than just make it to the first round of the playoffs.

Actually, I think they made it to the second round.

They had their wild card.

Well, yeah, they had two games.

They beat the Browns, and then they lost to the Ravens.

So yeah, they made two.

Did the Ravens play anyone else besides the Texans?

Oh yeah, they lost to the Chiefs, nevermind.

So yeah, they had two games.

So hopefully, they can make it to the AFC championship game this time around, at least.

Keep going one step better than the last.

So yeah, I love SummerSlam.

I think Receiver is a great show as a nice appetizer for the NFL season that's about to come up.

For those of you, like myself, who have been missing football content, you have Receiver.

There's also hard knocks on HBO, or MAX as they call it now, which I haven't seen yet, but there was this off season one taping the management of the Giants.

So you got to see how they decide their draft picks or contract negotiations and things like that.

And so yeah, that's it for SummerSlam and Receiver.

SummerSlam, you can catch on Peacock.

There should be a replay available now.

And of course, Receiver is on Netflix.

So that's it for this episode.

And I will now cue in the outro.

And that wraps up the show.
