$50–60M per episode vs YouTube scale; $400–480M/season; $2M ≠ $2M (Schedule F).Kim K moon-landing debate; David Harbour allegations (opinion/speculation; “not sexual” discussed; details unclear).Jared and Bo talk Kim K, Harbour, and whether platform scale beats traditional/linear TV’s cost and red tape—plus why a “$2M budget” isn’t really $2M (Schedule F 70–80k/5 days), how vertical proofs become backdoor pilots, and Ronaldo’s “$400M or something like that.” Why it matters: this hits the shows you watch and the gigs you chase—especially with YouTube’s fastest growth on living-room TVs.
