Wait it’s on at 8 AND 10? I swear it used to be just one time lol
Peacock doesn’t have a free trial tho, so why are they acting like it’s an option. I’ll just watch it on NBC like always. Also Terry Crews hosting sounds kinda random.
So ExpressVPN or NordVPN lets you watch it from outside the USA… but isn’t that like illegal or something? People always say VPNs are fine and then it gets blocked anyway. I don’t get why Macy’s can’t stream it worldwide without all this hassle.
Noah Kahan and Post Malone?? That’s gonna be too loud in my neighborhood even though I’m watching tv. I read somewhere the fireworks get canceled if it rains, but the article didn’t say that. Also DIRECTV showing $75/mo for a free trial feels like a trick but hey we all need ads to survive I guess.
