I was born man with a transistor 24 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 3: radio and I slowly worked my way up to getting 25 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 3: my way AM style and now here I am. You 26 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 3: can't this place can't lose me. 27 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 2: What does the AM stand for? Uh? 28 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 3: Something, I don't know. 29 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,359 Speaker 2: I'll tell you. I'll reveal it to you in the 30 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 2: next break. But you know what this is. This is 31 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 2: a podcast version because we got we got preempted hot 32 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 2: bye by the NFL. 33 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 3: That's right, National Football League, Sunday Night football. 34 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 2: Now and I didn't have a last week, but you know, 35 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 2: what are we going to do now? I'm more relaxed 36 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 2: because this is not going over broadcast here. I don't 37 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 2: care if there's any large gaps there. We just had one. Yeah, okay, 38 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 2: so AM radio, do you have any guests? No? 39 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 3: No, what's going on? 40 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,679 Speaker 2: It stands for amplitude modulation. 41 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 3: MMMM, and I'm guessing the FUM would be frequency modulation 42 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 3: m hm. 43 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 2: Very good. You're a very good student. So amplitude refers 44 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 2: to the height or the strength of the radio wave. 45 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 2: Modulation is the how much it varies like and that's 46 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 2: how it's carrying. It's you know this is too This 47 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:30,519 Speaker 2: is above my hand. But AM radio was first. First 48 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 2: there was just AM radio. There was no FM radio. 49 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 2: Am radio was the standard. It was in every car. 50 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 2: And then over time FM became some like kind of 51 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 2: rogue technology. And I remember it as a kid because 52 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 2: hippies were taking over and the hippies have their stations 53 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 2: on AM radio where they could play stations. It would 54 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 2: just play a whole album side of an album, and 55 00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 2: they would not play singles. You didn't have single Singles 56 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 2: were not in the They were for bubblegum music on 57 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 2: AM radio or you know standards. Frank Sinatra would put 58 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 2: out singles. But then FM radio was there, and you know, 59 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 2: I don't have any official proof of all. This is 60 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 2: me growing up and seeing, you know, what's going on. 61 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 2: And FM radio was was very kind of hard rock 62 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 2: stations like KNAC and Long Beach out at FM station 63 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 2: and it was next door to where my father our house, 64 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 2: so the you know house I live with my dad 65 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 2: and Long Beach and it was they're broadcasting there. I 66 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 2: used to go there and bug them and like you 67 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 2: when I was five, so that's like nineteen sixty eight, 68 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 2: and you could bang on their door and they just 69 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 2: come out and get you because they had whole album 70 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 2: to play, and then they would deal with they would, 71 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 2: you know, put up with me for a few minutes 72 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 2: and then you know, I have to leave. But AM 73 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 2: radio was and then soon as we know now, AM 74 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 2: radio has been eclipsed by f M radio. And AM 75 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 2: radio is you know, talk shows and foreign language programming, 76 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 2: maybe some Christian stations and a lot going on other 77 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 2: than that. And FM radio is where all the hits are. 78 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 2: I might add to you, Sam, for five weeks in 79 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 2: a row, I my band that I manage, has the 80 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 2: number one song on the Billboard Alternative Charts. So this 81 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 2: is I just found out a few minutes ago. I 82 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 2: just found out that's the fifth week in row. Four weeks. 83 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 2: Four weeks was a record for this year. No one, 84 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 2: No one has gone four weeks since like last year 85 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 2: and then now this year. It's it's sitting records all 86 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 2: over the place. The song is called en Sonata. You 87 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 2: should go listen to it on iHeart Media. I guess 88 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 2: that's what I'm supposed to say, right, because you can 89 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 2: hear this show worldwide on iHeart on your iHeartRadio app. 90 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 2: That's right, Okay, Okay, So there's a there. Congress passed recently, 91 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 2: something called the or Not a Committee was a committee 92 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 2: my Capitol Hill. The House and Energy Commerce Committee advanced 93 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 2: the Am Radio for Every Vehicle Act on a fifty 94 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 2: to one vote, sending it to the full House. The 95 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 2: bill would direct the Transportation Department to require AM radio 96 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 2: access in all new cars, including electric vehicles, as part 97 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 2: of a compromise with automakers members. Broadcasters, including the National 98 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 2: Association of Broadcasters and the nrb praised the move as 99 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 2: a public safety win, while Consumer Technology Association warned the 100 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 2: mandate could slow innovation. A floor vote could be scheduled 101 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 2: next Okay, so this was something that we championed here 102 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 2: in the show for a while. Is they've been taking 103 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 2: AM radio out of cars, and you know, that might 104 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 2: seem like the modern thing to do, but when the 105 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 2: crap goes down, you're gonna need an AM radio somewhere, 106 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 2: and you're gonna look around you're not gonna have one, 107 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 2: and you're gonna need an AM radio for emergency instructions, 108 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 2: and you need free AM radio that just comes into 109 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 2: his son antenna, you know. And so it's in people's cars. 110 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 2: That's where they're gonna rely on. This, and to me 111 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 2: it the problem happened. I think as a response to 112 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 2: Rush Limbaugh. Rush Limbaugh was a conservative radio phenomenon, and 113 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 2: I believe that to get rid of him, they couldn't 114 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 2: get rid of him. His enemies couldn't get rid of him. 115 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 2: He was like Trump of the radio. They they tried 116 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 2: to sue, They tried to say he was racist, they 117 00:07:54,160 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 2: tried to say he was a philand or a drug out. 118 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 2: You know, they got all those things, whatever they could 119 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 2: get against him, because he was a powerful voice, and 120 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 2: so his political enemies. Like any political powerful voice, the 121 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 2: enemies will come and try to get up and they 122 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 2: tried to do it with Well, why don't we compete 123 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 2: against him? I mean, why should he get all the listeners? 124 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 2: He had twenty two million listeners per week at his peak, Sam, 125 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 2: did you know that? 126 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 3: Yep? 127 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 2: So how did so? The people that were his political 128 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 2: enemies were saying, how are we going to stop this guy? 129 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 2: And then some people said why should we stop this guy? 130 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 2: Why can't we just be as good as him? Or 131 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 2: Baker drown him out with more voices, not less, and 132 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,559 Speaker 2: so they started Air America. Do you remember this? 133 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 3: Yep? 134 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, there America is When I first came to 135 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 2: K E I B. It was called Air America back 136 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 2: then and kt okay, yeah, K talk, so K talk. 137 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 2: When I first came to K talk, it was that's 138 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 2: that's what it was. It was like a lefty station 139 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 2: and they had Senator what's his name is alfrank Al Franken, Yeah, 140 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,559 Speaker 2: Al Franklin was on, Susan Miller. Was that her name? 141 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 3: Stephanie Miller? 142 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 2: Stephanie Miller, and then Joe Scalante and Sunday Nights Johnny Wendall. 143 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 2: There's a lifting, you know, I just didn't show BI show. 144 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 2: But then that didn't work. So then they were trying 145 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,199 Speaker 2: to destroy Rush Limbaugh by the best thing they could do. 146 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,839 Speaker 2: They came up with, which was very effective, boycotting is 147 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 2: advertisers and creating. Rush used to say it was eleven 148 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 2: people with a fax machine and they're faxing all these 149 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 2: advertisers saying, if you advertise on this program, we are 150 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 2: going to boycott your products because this man is a monster. 151 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 2: And it really worked because the AM stations were trying 152 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 2: to sell ads and some of the program some of 153 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:06,839 Speaker 2: the ad buyers would say, we can't I want to 154 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 2: advertise on your station, but just not during wrestling ball 155 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 2: and so I don't want to get boycotted. So then 156 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 2: how do you think that worked? Knowing what you know 157 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 2: about how traffic in a radio station. 158 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,719 Speaker 3: Works, that it probably did not work out well. 159 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 2: Because you know, sooner or later someone's gonna plug in. 160 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 2: You know, if you're Gallpin che Gallpin Ford and you 161 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 2: want and you don't want to be in a wrestling 162 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 2: bough show, sooner or later some guy is going to 163 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 2: end up placing one of your ads there. You know, 164 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 2: even in an emergency like oh I got to add 165 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 2: a commercial in here because I spilled coffee on my 166 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 2: growing or something. And then you lose advertisers because they say, hey, 167 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 2: I told you I don't want to be on that show. 168 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 2: I'm on the show. Now I'm getting boycotted. Look at me, 169 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 2: I'm losing my business, losing a nickel. So they had 170 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 2: to push rust Limbaugh and some markets they just pushed 171 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 2: him to his own station. And so if they had 172 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 2: a station where and because he did good business, but 173 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 2: it could it was hard to keep him on on 174 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 2: a station that was that where that was going to happen. 175 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 2: So that I think that's the birth of KiB kind of. 176 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 2: So now that you know they're doing whatever they can, 177 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:25,319 Speaker 2: then they came up with this other thing. What once again, 178 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 2: I don't have any facts. Oh this is all my opinions. 179 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 2: Once there America failed, they're going, okay, well we tried 180 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 2: to make our own wrestling baw and we couldn't and 181 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 2: the whole station went down in flames. I believe because 182 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 2: a conservative voice is a more uniting voice among their base. 183 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 2: They're like, okay, we're you know, god fearing Christians that 184 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 2: like traditional values and small government. Now that's pretty focused 185 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 2: and there there's not much else now when you get 186 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 2: into the so you can kind of unite all the listeners, 187 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 2: and one guy can like Rushlemba can be just just 188 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 2: bloviating all kinds of stuff that no one would ever 189 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 2: say in public, but it might be what people are thinking. 190 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,719 Speaker 2: People are on radio, they listen to alone. It's a 191 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 2: very intimate medium. Most of the time. They're driving around 192 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 2: in the car by themselves. So they're like, go ahead 193 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 2: and tell it like it is. I can't say that 194 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 2: at work, but you're saying it, and then they you know, 195 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 2: and then it's easier to unite these people. But the 196 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 2: lefties have a problem because their message is then correct 197 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 2: me if I'm wrong, Sam. But it's like you have 198 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 2: to unite big government people and union people together with 199 00:12:55,160 --> 00:13:03,319 Speaker 2: a social agenda, which is, you know, very open minded leftists, 200 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 2: promiscuous abortions on demand, and artistic freedom. It's harder to 201 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 2: get you know what I'm saying, Sam. 202 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 3: Well, usually here's the thing I feel like, it's more 203 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 3: of the left tends to if they hear somebody saying 204 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 3: stuff they agree with, they tend to just move on. 205 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 3: They don't want to stick around and just have their 206 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 3: biases endlessly confirmed. They're just going to move on and 207 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 3: not listen to whatever else is coming up. That's why 208 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 3: Air America didn't succeed. It was in LA and you 209 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,439 Speaker 3: had a huge market full of quote unquote liberals, and 210 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,319 Speaker 3: they just didn't want to hear stuff that was confirming 211 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 3: whatever biases they have. They just didn't want to hear it. 212 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 3: Then you flip it over to Patriot Radio and now 213 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 3: you know what we have with KiB and you're noticing 214 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 3: that you have more of like a united message and 215 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 3: everything like that. But also the audience that it's catering 216 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,959 Speaker 3: to is more or less the last loyal audience of 217 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 3: terrestrial radio. 218 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:17,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, and they're not gonna hear it anywhere else. They're 219 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 2: not gonna hear it on the CBS Evening News or 220 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 2: the ABC Evening News, yeah, or CNN or and intel 221 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 2: Fox News came along, they wouldn't hear it. There was 222 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 2: nowhere to hear Yeah. 223 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 3: So terrestrial radio especially, you know, well anywhere in the 224 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 3: United States is gonna be if you're gonna go with 225 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 3: AM talk stations, a conservative format is gonna be something 226 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 3: that holds more of the audience because that audience is 227 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 3: definitely It's the same reason why Fox News is consistently 228 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 3: pulling in higher ratings than most of the other TV 229 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 3: stations out there. It's because that audience is super loyal. 230 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 3: They like having their biases confirmed, and they aren't willing 231 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 3: to embrace the next step in technology like the Internet 232 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 3: or YouTube or stuff like that because they're old, most 233 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 3: of them, some of them some okay, so yeah, so 234 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 3: there you go. 235 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 2: These are just kind of like it's kind of like, 236 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 2: why do Mexicans like Morrissy. It's like, I don't know, 237 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 2: we're just kind of throwing our ideas at it at it, 238 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 2: but at some point someone I believe, said, you know, 239 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,239 Speaker 2: we got to do to get rid of these conservative 240 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 2: crack pots, gonna get these AM radios out of the cars. Okay, 241 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 2: that's probably driving around these cars. They're listening to this, 242 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 2: you know, misinformation. 243 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 3: Well, the thing that's going on, Like, I think the 244 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 3: car company that's leading that push was Tesla, and that's 245 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 3: definitely not a liberal company. 246 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 2: No, but when it started it definitely was. 247 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, absolutely, So. 248 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 2: I think this starts at Tesla. And again these are 249 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 2: just theories. I'm imagining a meeting at Tesla where they're saying, 250 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 2: like you know, they're trying to save space and they're 251 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 2: trying to streamline and be a car of the future, 252 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 2: and someone says, let's get we don't need AM radios 253 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 2: in these cars. That would be an innovation, right guys, 254 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 2: And everybody in the room said, I don't listen to 255 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 2: AM radio, do you? No way? I don't, no way. 256 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 2: I'm not a right wing crackpot. And there were no 257 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 2: right wing crackpots in the room or any right wing anything. 258 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 2: And so they said, yeah, and then we can get 259 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 2: rid of and then people support it gained support maybe 260 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 2: in other areas, other corporate Americas because everybody thought, yeah, 261 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 2: we can silence these voices that way. I don't have 262 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 2: any proof, but that's my theory. Now, so someone got 263 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 2: into this and they put and then they came up 264 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 2: with the thing, well like, if you don't put an 265 00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 2: AM radio in these cars, you and your whole family 266 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 2: are going to die. That's very that's very compelling as well. 267 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 2: So that you and your family are going to die 268 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 2: if there's no AM radio in every car. Lobby is 269 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 2: winning and so they're moving and so that's my news. 270 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 2: They moved, they're moving through the Congress and they're going 271 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 2: to make all the car manufacturers put AM radios in 272 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 2: the car. And in the climate we were in today, 273 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 2: it's going to probably become a law. And it's kind 274 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,399 Speaker 2: of funny because you know that the left is putting 275 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 2: so many regulations on cars, you know, forever and ever 276 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,199 Speaker 2: and ever, and now the right wingers come back, how 277 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,479 Speaker 2: about this regulation gotta have an AM radio? There a yeah, 278 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 2: unless you want your whole family to die. So it will, 279 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,399 Speaker 2: and you know, I think it's good. Another thing with Tesla. 280 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 2: Tesla said, you could the interference in an electric car 281 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 2: cannot pick up the AM single signal. That's what they 282 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 2: were saying. It's there's too much interference with the electricity. 283 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 2: It won't pick it up. Now, I would say I 284 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 2: had a Vault car, which is a half electric like 285 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 2: a plug in yeah hybrid, and and the AM radio 286 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 2: was it wasn't good in that car, but it was there, 287 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 2: but it wasn't good. So there there's But you know, 288 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 2: if if if Elon Musk can put a man on Mars, 289 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 2: you know, I'm sure he could solve that problem. And 290 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,439 Speaker 2: now he might want to now that he's you know 291 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 2: a little more of a of a right a writing, 292 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 2: he might So anyways, that's thank you everybody who supported 293 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 2: the AM radio for every Vehicle Act because it's moving. 294 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:47,120 Speaker 1: Yeah. 295 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 2: Okay, now let's get to Disneyland. Something happened this week. 296 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw this kind of gruesome. 297 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 2: At the at the Haunted Mansion, a guest died and 298 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 2: let's see my report on this cause of death will 299 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 2: not be revealed.

It's 305 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 2: likely indicse the doctor signed off on a death certificate 306 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,400 Speaker 2: and the family made their own arrangements to gain custody 307 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:49,400 Speaker 2: the body.

The Haunted Mansion is dark and 324 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 2: contain some mildly frightening scenes, but there is no gore 325 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 2: except for the headless woman you know, and is described 326 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 2: as a slow moving ride guess boord a doom buggy. Yeah, 327 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 2: this is all true, you know. I mean, there's nothing 328 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 2: in there that should give someone a heart attack except 329 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 2: for one of those things when you get up into 330 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 2: the attic and then goes ah, you know, and they 331 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 2: pop out. But if you that's going to give you 332 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 2: a heart attack, that's kind of on you. And I 333 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 2: don't think anybody's saying, you know, but you know, you 334 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 2: never know. Someone could sue because that's what people do. 335 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 2: I'm sure there's lawyers trying to contact this woman and 336 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 2: have her sue the park, and we'll see what happens. 337 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 3: So if I were to get a heart attack right now, 338 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 3: could I sue you for making that noise? 339 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 2: Yeah? Sure, okay, but you'd have to survive somemm rey judgment, 340 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 2: which you might not. But what you so usually when 341 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 2: Disneyland and someone dies of Disneyland. They have this rule theoretically, 342 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 2: and this is all unconfirmed, but my sources say they 343 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 2: when when someone appears to be dead, they they instigate 344 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:20,360 Speaker 2: a secret operation clandestine called Operation Parachute. Have you heard 345 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 2: of this? 346 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 3: No, I have not. 347 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 2: Yes, when someone is appears to have died, they they 348 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 2: they initiate Operation Parachute. This activates a team that comes 349 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 2: in and stealthily takes the body out of the park, 350 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 2: drives it to knots Berry Farm and dumps it off 351 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 2: below the parachute ride and and puts a chalk out 352 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 2: outline around the body and then gets out of there. 353 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 2: And they can do this very quickly, and then then 354 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 2: it's done. It's very clean, and then knots doesn't have 355 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 2: that you know problem. More people die there, the more 356 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 2: people go there actually inverse effect. So that's Operation Parachute. Yeah, 357 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 2: I'm surprised you haven't heard about it. 358 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 3: It's the first I've heard. Actually, I knew that there 359 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,120 Speaker 3: was something of that nature. I just didn't know that 360 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 3: it had an operation name. 361 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, And while we're talking about Disneyland, it's not. 362 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 2: A friend of mine called City was there at eight 363 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 2: forty five yesterday and they sold out a fast passes. 364 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 2: He said at seven point thirty they were out. 365 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 3: I didn't know that they could run out. 366 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, because if they gave them to everybody, then then 367 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,880 Speaker 2: the line would be too long, you know, I guess yeah. Okay, 368 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 2: so apparently, So what can you do if this happens? 369 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 2: This is I tried to do a little research on it, 370 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 2: and they say you can pre purchase a Lightning Lane multipass. 371 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,919 Speaker 2: That's the paid fast pass replacement that used to be 372 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 2: the Genie Plus as a ticket add on when you 373 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,120 Speaker 2: buy your ticket, and that protects you if same day 374 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 2: sales sell out. You still make your ride selections the 375 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 2: day of your visit, Like you can't make your right 376 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 2: selections in advance, but you can buy that thing in advance. Now, 377 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,439 Speaker 2: individual Lightning Lane single pass selections for the most in 378 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,360 Speaker 2: demand rides our day only. Like if you say, okay, 379 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 2: I'm gonna pay twenty dollars to not wait in line 380 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 2: on smugglers run in Star Wars Land, you buy those 381 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,160 Speaker 2: the day of the show, but you can't buy those 382 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 2: in advance. 383 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 3: Okay, makes sense. 384 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 2: So if you want, if you want to avoid these sellouts, 385 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 2: buy the multipass when you buy your ticket. All right, 386 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 2: it's public service announcement from this show.

He collaborates a lot with 534 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:33,880 Speaker 2: Ryan Gosling and and he just you know, just hit 535 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 2: it big with this true crime romance about this true guy, 536 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 2: Jeffrey man Manchester's rooftop Burglaries and toys r us hideout. 537 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 2: So he he the guy could like he was a 538 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:52,720 Speaker 2: veteran and he was very clever, but he just couldn't 539 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 2: seem to get ahead in life. And he just couldn't 540 00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 2: find a niche for himself in this you know, ah, 541 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 2: struggling in this this world. It is not a simple 542 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 2: world to succeed in. And he couldn't provide for his 543 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 2: kids the way he wanted to. So he started cutting 544 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:19,200 Speaker 2: holes in the tops of McDonald's and kind of like 545 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 2: when the and then he would pop out when the 546 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 2: uh manager came in to take the money out of 547 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 2: the safe to you know, to put in the tills 548 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:33,279 Speaker 2: and get everything ready. That's what he did. And he 549 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,319 Speaker 2: got caught. Then you escaped and you did. I'm not 550 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,759 Speaker 2: going to give away everything, but oh yeah, you're gonna 551 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 2: love it. Yeah, there's some more news about television and movies. Paramount. 552 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:49,560 Speaker 2: You know, Paramount bought CBS. I mean, uh David Ellis. 553 00:34:50,400 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 2: Ellison bought uh CBS and Paramount and then making some 554 00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 2: changes over there. He brought in this woman, Barry Weiss, 555 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 2: and installed her is the head of CBS News. Everybody 556 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:08,680 Speaker 2: at the CBS News believes they're going to be fired 557 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:13,359 Speaker 2: because she is known for as she was canceled at 558 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 2: the New York Times kind of she quit the New 559 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,520 Speaker 2: York Times because she didn't fall in line with everybody's views. 560 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:24,840 Speaker 2: She's not a lefty or a righty, but she's I 561 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:28,879 Speaker 2: think she's kind of anti pc DEI politically correctness, very 562 00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:34,160 Speaker 2: pro Israel. CBS had been known for running some anti 563 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,880 Speaker 2: Israel stories lately, and she's going to come in and 564 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:41,239 Speaker 2: probably put a stop to that. So people are a 565 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,920 Speaker 2: little bit worried about what she going to do, but 566 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:46,600 Speaker 2: we'll see. It's kind of interesting to me since I 567 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,720 Speaker 2: used to work at CBS, but CBS News it carries 568 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:51,440 Speaker 2: a lot of weight, you know, around the world and 569 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:57,879 Speaker 2: shaping public opinion, you know, Walter Cronkite, but it's only 570 00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:03,000 Speaker 2: three percent of the like cool you know, Paramount CBS World, 571 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 2: but it's it's kind of an outsized piece of property 572 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:11,400 Speaker 2: that is probably kind of like a headache for David Ellison. 573 00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,880 Speaker 2: He's got to deal with it. Okay, let's see what 574 00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:19,560 Speaker 2: else they got, Sam Okay, bad celebrities in the bad 575 00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:25,239 Speaker 2: celebrity category. 576 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:28,319 Speaker 3: Shm, there a few, ben quite a few. 577 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 2: I got a few. How was this one? New York 578 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:41,879 Speaker 2: City mayorial candidate Zoharan Mandani says producers of The Late 579 00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:45,480 Speaker 2: Show with Stephen Colbert pitched a thumbs up thumbs down 580 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:49,279 Speaker 2: game about Gaza ahead of his June appearance, which he 581 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:53,840 Speaker 2: called inappropriate and trivializing. The idea was dropped, though Colbert 582 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,279 Speaker 2: did ask him on air whether Israel has a right 583 00:36:56,320 --> 00:37:01,320 Speaker 2: to exist. CBS declined to comment reports up the exchange, 584 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,720 Speaker 2: which resurfaced this week as Mom Donnie discussed the episode 585 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:06,960 Speaker 2: in a new profile. Evidently they called him and said, 586 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:13,239 Speaker 2: can you play a game with us about Gaza? And 587 00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,719 Speaker 2: it was like, you know, this is an area of 588 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:21,000 Speaker 2: you know, genocide, ethnic cleansing. So he's now coming out 589 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,080 Speaker 2: and throwing Colbert right under the bus, saying that Colbert 590 00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:28,319 Speaker 2: is not sensitive to the people of Gaza because he 591 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,400 Speaker 2: wanted to make a game out of it. So not 592 00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:35,200 Speaker 2: good for Colbert, but he's on his way out anyway. 593 00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,319 Speaker 2: But we all know that he'll get some platform like 594 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,719 Speaker 2: a YouTube thing and make ten times more money than 595 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 2: he ever made it CBS, so nobody is weeping for him. 596 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,160 Speaker 2: I like these podcasts because I'm just going to whip 597 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:52,520 Speaker 2: through this. 598 00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,160 Speaker 3: We don't have it breaks and we just whipped right 599 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:56,279 Speaker 3: through and we're good. 600 00:37:56,680 --> 00:38:11,920 Speaker 2: Okay, Mansion, is this that? Okay? Okay?

Yes, I forget well. 606 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:35,480 Speaker 2: Studio Canal and the Estate of Paddington creator Michael Bond 607 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,759 Speaker 2: filed it a British High Court complaint over a new 608 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:41,839 Speaker 2: episode of the show Spitting Image. I don't know if 609 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:47,800 Speaker 2: you know that it's political satire using puppets, really ugly 610 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:54,399 Speaker 2: English puppets. They're ledging copyright and design right violations after 611 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:58,239 Speaker 2: the show portrayed Paddington as a foul mouthed drug using podcaster. 612 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,920 Speaker 2: Creators of the show Spitting Image, Al Maray and matt 613 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,399 Speaker 2: Ford said they are bakelet by the lawsuit they called 614 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:12,160 Speaker 2: a sketch satire and insist this parody isn't going anywhere. 615 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,840 Speaker 2: That show is on a million is on YouTube, attracting 616 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 2: millions as the dispute gains attention.

Anyway, 632 00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:05,720 Speaker 2: if you go to YouTube and you can see Paddington 633 00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:10,040 Speaker 2: Barry's a cocainet, wow, because he went to Peru. 634 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,759 Speaker 3: Somebody spiked Yeah, somebody spiked the marmalade. 635 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:17,520 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, padding it was something like Paddington's Peruvian Marching Powder. 636 00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:19,560 Speaker 3: Yes, I think that's what it was. 637 00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,799 Speaker 2: That was the name of our episode. Anyways, this is 638 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,640 Speaker 2: like there's a couple of bad lawsuits out there. This 639 00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:31,000 Speaker 2: one's bad because people making parodies. He's in a scene 640 00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:35,200 Speaker 2: with Prince Harry, Prince Harry and Paddington Bear. Obviously you 641 00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,680 Speaker 2: know it's parody. It's not really Prince Harry and it's 642 00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:41,800 Speaker 2: not really his opinions or whatever. And Paddington Bear is 643 00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:45,080 Speaker 2: doing cocaine. We know Paddington Bear doesn't do cocaine, but 644 00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,120 Speaker 2: you know, we don't want to stifle people's rights to 645 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,879 Speaker 2: parody things. To me, Studio Canal and then they made 646 00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:55,279 Speaker 2: fun of them in an episode of the lawsuits, so 647 00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,240 Speaker 2: they're kind of the backlashes coming. And then Spitting Image 648 00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:01,120 Speaker 2: has never been hotter, and they were like calling it 649 00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,920 Speaker 2: Studio Canal. They were calling it Studio cee Anal and 650 00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:09,759 Speaker 2: they were like, we don't understand what that is. So 651 00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:19,640 Speaker 2: that's a not going anywhere. I don't think so. I mean, 652 00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:21,600 Speaker 2: I you know, things could be different in England, but 653 00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,000 Speaker 2: all that show does is parody every week, day in 654 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:29,759 Speaker 2: and out. That's all they're doing. And Paddington Bear going 655 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,880 Speaker 2: to Peru and snorting a bunch of Peruvian marching powder. 656 00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:38,520 Speaker 2: That's funny. I did it myself here they copied me obviously. Okay, 657 00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:40,759 Speaker 2: Now we go to this other one that we've talked 658 00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,960 Speaker 2: about a lot of Federal judge has dismissed Drake's defamation 659 00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:47,560 Speaker 2: lawsuit against the Universal Music Group over the release and 660 00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:52,839 Speaker 2: promotion Kendrick Lamar's Distracked Not Like Us. In a written order, 661 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:57,400 Speaker 2: Judge Jeannette Vargas ruled the song is opinion and hyperpole 662 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,719 Speaker 2: in the context of a rap battle, not factual assertions 663 00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:05,239 Speaker 2: that Drake is a pedo file. Universal called the suit 664 00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:08,719 Speaker 2: in affront to creative expression. Drake's camp says it will 665 00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:14,840 Speaker 2: appeal the courts take away. In defamation law, context matters. 666 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:18,239 Speaker 2: Trash talk in a distract isn't the same as a 667 00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:20,840 Speaker 2: verified factual claim. So what do we have to have 668 00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:25,600 Speaker 2: in defamation? We have to have something that's not true, 669 00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:29,320 Speaker 2: makes people spit on the ground, and if it's a celebrity, 670 00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,440 Speaker 2: it has to have actual mouice. So in this case, 671 00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,000 Speaker 2: the judge is dealing mostly with the context and saying 672 00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,719 Speaker 2: nobody thinks this is It may not be true. It 673 00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:40,279 Speaker 2: may be true, maybe true, may not be true, but 674 00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:45,680 Speaker 2: nobody thinks that Kendrick Lamar's asserting that he has actual 675 00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:50,440 Speaker 2: facts that he's a pedophile and he's disclosing them and 676 00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:55,960 Speaker 2: then it's not true. Now Drake's people say, whoa in 677 00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 2: the thing? He says, I've got like information that I'm 678 00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,680 Speaker 2: going to buy to release, or I've got more information 679 00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:03,919 Speaker 2: like this is this is this is just I don't 680 00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,960 Speaker 2: remember the lyrics, but he's like saying, this is the 681 00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,719 Speaker 2: tip of the iceberg. I've got more, you know than this. 682 00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:14,359 Speaker 2: So they were saying that indicates that he's asserting this 683 00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,840 Speaker 2: is fact and he has, you know, the receipts to 684 00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,800 Speaker 2: back it up. So it might make people believe, Wow, 685 00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:23,200 Speaker 2: he's a pedophile because this guy saying he has all 686 00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:25,560 Speaker 2: the evidence and he's just gonna, you know, produce it. Later, 687 00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:30,080 Speaker 2: Judge didn't buy that. Judge said, this is hyperbole in 688 00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:33,279 Speaker 2: a distrack. It's a wrap battle. No one's gonna take 689 00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:37,080 Speaker 2: it serious. That was basically the thing, what are your damages? 690 00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,840 Speaker 2: My damages are to my reputation, So you have to 691 00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:43,080 Speaker 2: have actual, improvable damages in these things. What are they 692 00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:47,440 Speaker 2: my reputation my records. Well, the judge is saying, I 693 00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:50,120 Speaker 2: don't think those that's true because people know that in 694 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:54,880 Speaker 2: a distract, people say that, so nobody, nobody doesn't buy records, 695 00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:59,719 Speaker 2: or because they because someone called you a pedophile the 696 00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:03,000 Speaker 2: stone and it's weird. This thing was also weird because 697 00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:06,640 Speaker 2: they both are on the same record label, Universal Music Group. 698 00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:09,319 Speaker 2: So he was suing his own label saying, how dare 699 00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,560 Speaker 2: you promote that track? You're doing it and you're promoting 700 00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:15,960 Speaker 2: it to make him big and be small, and you're 701 00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:20,680 Speaker 2: hurting me every time you do it. Now, this is 702 00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,399 Speaker 2: what goes on with these guys. This guy is such 703 00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:26,560 Speaker 2: a narcissist, this drake. By the way, he's a Canadian. 704 00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,160 Speaker 2: So we're not even talking about Americans right here, right now, 705 00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:31,279 Speaker 2: right them, am I right? 706 00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:31,839 Speaker 3: That's right? 707 00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:37,000 Speaker 2: Okay, this Canadian comes into our country and it's trying 708 00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:40,120 Speaker 2: to change the laws to say that rap battles can't exist. 709 00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:45,160 Speaker 2: Rat battles are a time honored tradition and it goes 710 00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:48,120 Speaker 2: back to the I think it goes back to even 711 00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:54,359 Speaker 2: Africa or the Cajun South playing the dozens. You've heard 712 00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:59,360 Speaker 2: of this, yep? Absolutely, yeah, So this is this is tradition. 713 00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,000 Speaker 2: You know. It's like it goes back to your mama 714 00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:06,400 Speaker 2: so fat that when she sits around the house, she 715 00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:10,799 Speaker 2: sits around the house, that kind of stuff. Your mama 716 00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,800 Speaker 2: is so fat. When she goes outside in a yellow raincoat, 717 00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:20,800 Speaker 2: people drop by yelling hey, taxi, stuff like that. That's 718 00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:27,440 Speaker 2: that's a tradition, that's culture. This Canadian would like to 719 00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:31,399 Speaker 2: come into our country and make that illegal. Now, maybe 720 00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:33,520 Speaker 2: in England they throw where they throw people in jail 721 00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:42,719 Speaker 2: for posting things like this, but not in this country. Not. 722 00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:46,200 Speaker 2: I mean, so you Canadians and you English people, you 723 00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:49,600 Speaker 2: got to stay out of our creative expression because we 724 00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:52,760 Speaker 2: value it. And I think this judge made the right decision. 725 00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:57,560 Speaker 2: And for Drake to think what if he wins, like 726 00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:00,319 Speaker 2: he doesn't even think about that, what if he one? 727 00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:04,120 Speaker 2: Because sometimes we have bad decisions in this in this country, 728 00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:12,000 Speaker 2: like when Pharrell and Robin Thick lost that lawsuit to 729 00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:14,520 Speaker 2: the estate of. 730 00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:19,000 Speaker 3: Oh Marvin Gay. 731 00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:23,520 Speaker 2: Marvin Gay. Yeah, that was a bad decision and ruined 732 00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:25,799 Speaker 2: a lot of court cases after that. People brought too 733 00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:29,720 Speaker 2: many lawsuits thinking they're gonna win anyway. This one's even worse. 734 00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:33,920 Speaker 2: But you maybe could find a jury that would say, yeah, 735 00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:38,680 Speaker 2: uh this this you and you created defamation. It was 736 00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:41,120 Speaker 2: something makes people split on the ground and it wasn't 737 00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:43,919 Speaker 2: true and you were trying to Your actual malice could 738 00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:47,320 Speaker 2: be you were trying to lower his record sales so 739 00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:51,359 Speaker 2: you could increase yours. Now that's kind of satisfies all 740 00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:56,759 Speaker 2: the elements. So then you have to go, Okay, what 741 00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:59,799 Speaker 2: are the damages. Well, even if it went forward and 742 00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:02,879 Speaker 2: they they won, Jeriy could come back and say, yeah, 743 00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,319 Speaker 2: you went Now a smart judge would say what are 744 00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:08,479 Speaker 2: the damages, and the damages phase of the trout. Smart 745 00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:11,520 Speaker 2: judge would say, there's no damages here because it's a 746 00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:16,799 Speaker 2: rap battle. You idiots. Yeah, you Canadian. I'm not saying 747 00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:20,040 Speaker 2: all Canadians are bad. I'm just saying this one wants 748 00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:29,000 Speaker 2: to chip away at our ability to create. That's what 749 00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:33,080 Speaker 2: he's trying to do. And if he wins, then then 750 00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:36,200 Speaker 2: nobody can have these rap battles because they would be 751 00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:39,879 Speaker 2: too much legal liability. I'm not saying every case would 752 00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:42,040 Speaker 2: be adjudicated in the same way, but there would be 753 00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:45,479 Speaker 2: legal liability. So record labels wouldn't want to release these 754 00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:49,359 Speaker 2: kinds of distracts because they would not want to go 755 00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:52,360 Speaker 2: to jail or be sued into oblivion? Is that the 756 00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:56,040 Speaker 2: kind of world we want to live in? Evidently Canadian 757 00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:59,840 Speaker 2: Drake wants to live in that world, and so I 758 00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:03,440 Speaker 2: mean in England is headed towards that now, but we 759 00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:07,040 Speaker 2: don't want it. So this judge is a great patriot. 760 00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:10,760 Speaker 3: Uh, there's no better way to say it, show everybody 761 00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:13,279 Speaker 3: that you lost a rap battle than to sue and 762 00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:14,480 Speaker 3: lose the lawsuit. 763 00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:18,759 Speaker 2: Well that's a very important point too, because also for 764 00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:24,279 Speaker 2: street credit in the punk rock world, in the you 765 00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:28,880 Speaker 2: don't use the courts to settle your beefs. In the 766 00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:34,600 Speaker 2: biker world, you know, motorcycle clubs, same code of conduct. 767 00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:38,640 Speaker 2: You don't go to the police. You handle things, have 768 00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:43,440 Speaker 2: ethics yo. Yeah, so he he Drake should have known 769 00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:47,879 Speaker 2: you handle things by putting out more distracts not going 770 00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:51,279 Speaker 2: to court. Yeah, tailbit sys embarrassing so he Yeah. He 771 00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:53,880 Speaker 2: definitely is the biggest loser of a wrap battle in 772 00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:55,480 Speaker 2: the history of rap battles. 773 00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:01,359 Speaker 3: Okay, I think we're good. 774 00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:08,880 Speaker 2: I think we're good.
