On twitter: You have to catch it live or watch the replay all in one go and the thing is like 6 hours long. There is no skip ahead function on twitter for video that i know of. (if there is then please enlighten me sherbros)

EDIT: you can actually skip on twitter but only on desktop(on mac, havent tried on PC yet). i had only tried that on my phone(android). isnt perfect but at least its something. Thanks @neandertal for that.

On espn website: It is required that you download the thing on your phone. Apparently you cant stream it. At least on my phone. For the desktop version they require some kind of flash thing to be installed/active. Tried on apple and regular computers and im sure i got the flash updated on both as everything else that requires flash runs no problem. But no dice.

On Youtube: The show will not be posted in full apparently. Only clips. And so far they have posted like 3 guests.... all the other ones are missing.

On itunes: I dont use it. (tried years ago and thought it was a terrible platform) So maybe it is all good over there, but its audio only. You cant watch.

On periscope: I heard you can do it... but really?? Peri-fucking-scope? <FookIsThatGuy> I dont want to have this exclusively to watch one show.

On Spotify: Finally the only place i could get it going, but still you cant watch it. Just listen.

What an absolute joke.... I literally went though every fucking possible means to watch it and none of them are good/ideal....

How are you dealing with it?

I guess it ain't that bad IF they put the timestamps of each guest in the description of the video.

ESPN's streaming sucks. Only worse service I have is Directv Sunday Ticket. That shit is 50/50 on the phone. ESPN is like 60/40.

Stream doesn't load half the time on the phone, links to the stream are wrong on the website, no starting from the middle of something old. I remember the effort required to watch the OJ 30 for 30. Jesus Christ
 
6 hours? Jesus that's an oppressive amount of time for anything, who the fuck has time for that?

no.... if you want to talk shit at least get your facts right.

anyone who follows ESPN on twitter and scrolled down during the 6 fucking hour long broadcast counted as a view... i did a few times that day alone. Thats why the numbers are jacked.

those numbers arent real. its fake news.

So im the illiterate on technology right?? ppppffff

I thought this today while trying to watch it at work.

It seems like it's twitter or espn app or Fuck off.

Cba with it.
 
I agree it's bullshit. I'm just using Spotify but no video now.
 
At least we still have Luke THOMAS hosting the old show! (Throws computer out window)
 
Download a program for your pc called Jdownloader2. It's free. Any twitter/YouTube any video site you copy its link and it will download it in full to a regular mp4 or similar. Then you can watch it with any device and pause,skip, etc like any other video
