As you know, Disney and YouTubeTV haven’t been able to cut a deal, so ESPN and ABC are not being shown on the YTTV platform currently:

Despite our best efforts, we have not been able to reach a fair deal, and starting today, Disney programming will not be available on YouTube TV. This means you will no longer be able to watch channels like ABC and ESPN or access recordings from these networks in your Library.

So if your favorite college football team was playing on ABC this weekend you were shit out of luck. If you didn’t have a workaround you missed out on top-25 matchups like Georgia vs. Florida, Texas vs. Vanderbilt, and Oklahoma vs. Tennessee. If you don’t care about college football, well, now you’re on the wrong end of it because there will be no Monday Night Football on your TV tonight. No Cowboys vs. Cardinals for any YouTubeTV subscribers. Why? Cause fuck you that’s why. You chose the wrong provider this time. You pay your bill every month on time and you still get screwed over. It’s amazing how much these companies take, take, and take but never give anything back to the consumer. They’ve got us by the balls and it’s all over a fraction of the profits The Mouse and Google will make this year.

It’s not just television providers either. It’s everywhere. Yesterday I DoorDash’d a cheesesteak while watching football. Place was a mile down the road, but I wasn’t getting off my couch. So I’m waiting 30+ minutes and I see my driver hasn’t moved after picking up the order. No problem, maybe he’s waiting for more deliveries. Get as many Double Dash’s as you can my friend. But the time just kept increasing. First it got into an hour. Then 75 minutes. I’m texting the guy on the app – nothing. I’m calling and he’s picking up, but not saying anything. Now I’m pissed! I’m a pawn in his game. He’s kidnapped my cheesesteak! I know he has it because they send you a picture of the order when they pick it up! So I get in touch with support, which is just some AI robot filled with pre-recorded phrases that can’t help me, so I then request to talk to a human. I get on with a human and the my Dasher cancels the fucking order! After waiting for 90 minutes I’m just here starving, pissed off, and cheesesteak-less. I know that motherfucker ate it too because it was from Del Rossi’s and they’re one of the best in the entire world. Of course all the DoorDash support can offer is a refund and a $5 credit, which won’t even cover the delivery fees next time. That’s not the point. At this point it’s about pride. I was seeing red. I’m hungover and hungry and all I want to do is drown my arteries in gelatinous cheesesteak goodness. There...
