Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing starts now. Welcome to Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing . I'm Travis Hoium. I'm joined today by Lou Whiteman and Matt Frankel, guys, the big news for the day is that Paramount has officially closed its merger or acquisition of Warner Brothers Discovery , $110 billion deal for context, that's about half the value of Disney , but they don't have the Parks, which is the profit driver of Disney. Matt, when you look at this deal, also $80 billion worth of debt, which seems like a notable amount of money. When you look at this deal and all the competition that's happening in the streaming space, everybody's raising their prices. Does this merger, does this new company have a chance to thrive in a world where you have YouTube with actually the number one market share in streaming? You have Netflix , there's Disney, and then a whole bunch of other players. Is this going to work out?
