    Yeah, Dwayne Johnson is cool and all… but maybe give someone else a shot. If Verizon didn’t give me free Hulu and Disney, we wouldn’t have them, getting rid of Prime this year, and Netflix is pretty close to the chopping block. I watch a lot of YouTube and pay to not see ads. Probably continue that for a while. Just don’t get the value and as I get older, just less interested in any of the content. I find myself going back and watching things for the past decades.

      We can do Chris Pratt, or Jack Black. But it needs to be one of those 3.
