Friend Trades Hulu Login for Peacock Login, Streaming Service to Be Named Later

By Joe Fernandez

A blockbuster trade made headlines Saturday as Dallas native Kyle McHenry traded his Hulu login to Los Angeles buddy Larry Hicks for Hicks’ Peacock login and a streaming service to be named later.

The trade has already caused stirs among McHenry’s friends and family, who felt he didn’t receive enough back in the trade.

“Peacock? What the hell is he gonna do with that?” Kyle’s brother and fellow user of Kyle’s streaming services said.

“None of us like reality TV, and that’s all Peacock is good for. I don’t give a shit about Real Housewives, Below Deck, Southern Charm or the fucking Traitors. God damn it, Kyle,” he continued at a press conference announcing the trade, where Kyle sat uncomfortably listening to his brother rant.

Pundits have already said this trade is a steal for Hicks and all of his friends who leech off his subscriptions.

“Look, we know McHenry already has Netflix, so that won’t be the other streaming service he gets back,” MLB and part-time friends-and-family streaming service analyst Keith Law said on The Rich Eisen Show.

“And there’s no way Hicks is parting with Max or Prime. Those are just too valuable. Most likely, McHenry will receive Paramount+ back, but anyone who’s used it knows how annoying it is to fast-forward, rewind or even get the goddamn thing to move to pick something to watch. I think down the road, McHenry will regret this trade.”

Kendrick Perkins agreed with this assessment on First Take, saying, “Even if he gets Paramount+ back, unless your ass is a fan of the Scream franchise, the only other watchable things on there are Landman and Yellowstone. That streaming service would be shut down if it weren’t for Taylor Sheridan. What am I gonna watch, fucking Ghosts all night?”

If the return is Paramount+, that could lead to more tension within McHenry’s circle, as its biggest programs are also reality TV-based, like Survivor, Big Brother and The Amazing Race, which—as stated earlier—is a genre his family “fucking hates.”

McHenry staunchly defended his decision to part ways with his Hulu login for a considerably weaker return when asked about it.

“Look, we have a strong streaming service roster,” McHenry said as his friends and family assembled around him at the dais, grumbling. “Between Netflix murder documentaries—which we can all agree are fire—and my ad-free Shudder subscription, we have a lot of stuff covered. Not to mention my Mubi subscription.”

Confused murmurs went across the room, including a hot mic moment where Kyle’s sister Linda was heard whispering, “What the fuck is Mubi?”

Brian Windhorst has reported on rumors that Hicks may also include “some shit on Plex Kyle wanted to see” as part of the deal, according to sources close to him.

The McHenry family is expected to give Bel-Air, the gritty remake of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, a watch this Friday, but some extreme right-wing members of the family have said they will boycott the viewing because it’s “woke DEI bullshit.”

As of this reporting, it is said that Hicks is “chilling and enjoying” all the seasons of award-winning shows like Fargo, The Bear and laughing his ass off at English Teacher and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia episodes.
