1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

2
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 2: There's no business like shelf business. Here's a note from

3
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 2: Cincyltown and Beyond and this week there really is only

4
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 2: one story, and that is all about the massive merger.

5
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 2: Will it even take place? Netflix Warner Brothers mega deal

6
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 2: rattling Hollywood. ABC seven covering that.

7
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 3: Well, it is a mega deal for Hollywood, Netflix acquiring

8
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 3: Warner Brothers for more than eighty billion dollars.

9
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 4: Witness News reporter Rob Hayes live in Burbank with those details, Rob.

10
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 2: Rob, Yeah, Hollywood? What was that they call him on

11
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 2: his mother's landline? What the heck was that? This's do

12
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 2: that again? Bank?

13
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 4: With those details, Rob, Yeah, Hollywood.

14
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 2: Is sounds like when somebody calls and they're on speaker

15
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 2: phone and then we're like, let's talk with Robin Burbank

16
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 2: and they said, oh, oh yeah, hey, hey, yes, interview Yeah.

17
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 4: Gill spinning after this announcement, Netflix is looking to drop

18
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 4: more than eighty two billion.

19
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 2: Dollars to buy Warner Brothers.

20
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 4: It's a deal that would put a lot of power

21
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 4: in the hands of just one entertainment company. Depending where

22
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 4: you stand, this sound could be considered the Deathnell for

23
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 4: Warner Brothers, or it's Wedding Shaw. Either way, Netflix's offer

24
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 4: to buy up Warner Brothers is way beyond a big deal.

25
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 5: The amount of content, the amount of platforms, the amount

26
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 5: of eyeballs involved in this is megabox on a mega level.

27
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 4: Dominic Patten is the executive editor at Deadline dot com.

28
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 4: The offer price of eighty two point seven billion dollars

29
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 4: the biggest sale of a Hollywood studio ever. It combines Netflix,

30
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,919
Speaker 4: the world's largest streaming company with more than three hundred

31
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 4: million subscribers, with the third largest streamer, home to HBO,

32
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 4: and a trove of popular entertainment franchise. It's just like

33
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 4: Batman and Harry Potter.

34
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 2: I know those are the popular ones. But my son

35
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: and I love watching HBO. We do it. But you know,

36
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 2: the crazy thing too, is that it's HBO Discovery. So

37
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 2: we'll watch like really random stuff like Mysteries of the Abandoned, right,

38
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 2: and we love I think I've talked about this before.

39
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 2: We love watching like the house Hunters and then just

40
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 2: making fun of the people and the realtors pretty mercilessly.

41
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 2: That's a good drinking game. So that's the linear product.

42
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 2: Which is not going with this.

43
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 4: Whether or not this deal would cast a good spell

44
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 4: out of the industry or a bad one is still

45
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 4: up in the air.

46
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 5: I've talked to a number of people who said this

47
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 5: is the worst thing ever. The former CEO of Warner

48
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 5: Brothers said this is the worst thing ever. But I've

49
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 5: also talked to people who said this could be really

50
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 5: the revitalization that the industry needs after the tough years

51
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 5: of the pandemic, the strikes, and the wildfires.

52
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: Consolidation doesn't exactly have a strong history of working out well.

53
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 4: The Netflix deal comes as a surprise, not just for

54
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 4: its size. For the past several weeks, Warner Brothers has

55
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 4: been in talks with Paramount, the presumed front runner, mostly

56
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 4: because it wanted to buy all of Warner Brothers.

57
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, keep that in mind. This eighty three billion dollars

58
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 2: is just for the studio products. It's not for CNN

59
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 2: and TNT and Discovery and HGTV and Food Network and

60
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: all those other things. It's just for the film product,

61
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 2: all right, continue on.

62
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 4: Please, unlike Netflix, which is carving out the company's cable assets.

63
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 4: But even with the Netflix announcement, experts say this deal

64
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 4: is far from done, why with some serious anti trust

65
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 4: issues facing them.

66
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 5: Simply put, you take Netflix, the biggest streamer in the

67
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 5: country and in the world, with the third biggest streamer

68
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 5: in the country, HBO Max, and you do have more

69
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 5: than fifty one percent of the streaming audience.

70
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, so then the question is does it become basically monopoly?

71
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 2: That's the anti trust issue here.

72
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 4: Now. Patton says a deal like this could push Hollywood

73
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 4: and its movies further down the streaming line with a

74
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 4: bigger focus on the smaller screens at home instead of

75
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 4: the bigger screens in the theaters. Reporting live in Burbank,

76
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 4: Rob Hayes ABC seven, I witnessed it.

77
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 2: So what does that mean? Then, here's the concern that

78
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 2: so many people have. In fact that you may have

79
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,679
Speaker 2: seen that a number of the different cinema stocks dropped

80
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 2: right away, AMC, Signmark, Regal, They all dropped after this

81
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 2: deal was announced because the concern is that that Netflix

82
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 2: is gonna make these products and then they're gonna turn

83
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 2: around and they're gonna put them up on the streaming platform.

84
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 2: They're gonna say we can bring more people into the

85
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 2: streaming platform. At eight eighteen twenty two, dollars a month,

86
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 2: whatever the package is that you're getting. And if we

87
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 2: can get more people and grow our product, we're gonna

88
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 2: make more money that way than we are by trying

89
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 2: to turn things over into the theater. Here's the problem, though,

90
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 2: that you do reach a point of saturation, which is

91
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 2: why Netflix is not announcing their subscriber numbers anymore. They

92
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 2: go through all of the earnings calls and they don't

93
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 2: talk about new subscribers. They don't talk about those numbers

94
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 2: any longer because you hit a point of peak saturation

95
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 2: in the market. Now with this, you're gonna bring some

96
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 2: people over from HBO that that don't have Netflix. I

97
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 2: might be one of those people, right My wife wants

98
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 2: Netflix for Christmas, and I'm hesitant to do it, but

99
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 2: you know, what she wants, she gets. But then, how

100
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 2: many people already have both of those products? And if

101
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 2: you didn't like paying eighteen dollars for Netflix commercial free,

102
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 2: and you didn't like paying eighteen dollars for HBO commercial free,

103
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 2: how much are you gonna like paying thirty six dollars

104
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 2: for the two of them together? Oh, Chris is not

105
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 2: gonna be like, oh no, it'll be thirty now it'll

106
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 2: be a deal, you'll save money. Bulloony, I'm calling boloney

107
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 2: to start with. Sure, they might start it that way,

108
00:05:58,440 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 2: but if you take a look at how much the

109
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 2: price has gone up on all the different streaming services

110
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 2: over the course of the last even ten years, you

111
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,799
Speaker 2: would see that. Nope, they get you in the door.

112
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 2: They're like crack dealers. First one's on me. Then it's

113
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 2: gonna cost you. So they get you in the door,

114
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 2: and then the prices go up, and they go up,

115
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 2: and they go up and they go up. Now, what

116
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,679
Speaker 2: about that anti trust issue? Now, there were questions about

117
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 2: paramount being able to get away with this because Ellison's

118
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 2: are tight with the White House and they thought Trump

119
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 2: will grease the wheels of regulation to get this pushed through.

120
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 2: If it's Paramounts guidance, because the Ellisons are close with

121
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 2: the Trump administration, they'll make that happen. Now we've got

122
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 2: word from Wall Street Journal reported about four point thirty tonight,

123
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 2: President Trump saying that Netflix deal to acquire Warner Brothers

124
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 2: could be a problem because it would result in a

125
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 2: large market share for the streaming giants, signaling possible government resistance.

126
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 2: In his first public comments since the sale. Now here's

127
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 2: the trouble with President Trump. He always hedges. He's always

128
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 2: very wishy washy on things. He allows you to interpret

129
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 2: whatever he's saying right, and then he moves forward based

130
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 2: on what he decides later on. But here's what he said.

131
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 2: They have a very big market share, and when they

132
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 2: have Warner Brothers, that share goes up a lot. I'll

133
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 2: be involved in that decision. But he's not really telling

134
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 2: us which way. He said, that's a lot. You're gonna

135
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 2: have a lot of market share. I'll be involved. So

136
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 2: now is he sending a message saying, Oh, I'm gonna

137
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 2: scrutinize the stealers. He's sending a message saying, if you

138
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 2: want to get this done, I think we all know

139
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 2: what you're gonna have to do. I'm gonna need Netflix

140
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 2: very first ever Netflix Piece prize, and then I'll approve it.

141
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 2: Speaking of Ted Sarandos, the co chief executive there at Netflix,

142
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 2: he said, I have a lot of respect for him.

143
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 2: He's a great parison. He's done one of the greatest

144
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 2: jobs in the history of movies and other things. But

145
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 2: it's a big market share, There's no question about it.

146
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 2: It could be a problem. Wink wink, where's my Netflix piece? Prize?

147
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 2: I may have added that last part, so we were

148
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 2: going to run into this. Anyway, if Paramount had bought HBO,

149
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 2: it wouldn't have been as big an issue because Netflix

150
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 2: is already the big dog. This would be like Walmart

151
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 2: buying Amazon. Okay, that we feel like that would be

152
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 2: too much of a market share. But what if Target

153
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 2: bought Amazon? Is that better? If Paramount buys out Warner

154
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 2: Brothers and they take they take the not only the

155
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 2: studio product, but also the linear product, the cable services,

156
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 2: and they just merged with sky Dance. Now they're owning

157
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 2: Newline Warner sky Dance, obviously the Paramount studios. Now they've

158
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 2: got all those studios locked up. Is that less of

159
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 2: a regulatory issue? Now they might not have fifty one

160
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 2: percent of the subscribers out there to the streaming services,

161
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 2: but their goal would be to acquire that and in

162
00:08:55,840 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 2: any in any scenario, Oh, Amazon was a bitter too. Incidentally,

163
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 2: in any scenario, the race for consolidation is on, and

164
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 2: in any scenario, the question is what happens to the

165
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 2: film product? Does it go to streaming? You could make

166
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 2: the argument that Netflix is better off by not putting

167
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 2: everything on their streaming platform, because the only way to

168
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 2: make money on that is one through the ad supported

169
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 2: subscriptions two to bring more people in. But if the

170
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 2: hitting peak saturation, they're not really making any money. They're

171
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 2: just spending money to keep the people that are already

172
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 2: there happy. So is it possible that they do continue

173
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 2: to create products that are specific for the cinema? You

174
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 2: could make that argument. The question is how good are

175
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: the product's going to be? How much do they care

176
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 2: as long as they're breaking even does it even have

177
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,719
Speaker 2: to be that good? Are we going to see a

178
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 2: lack of innovation? This is always the question when it

179
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 2: comes to anti trust and monopolies. Does this ruin competition?

180
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 2: And if ruins competition, is that ruin innovation? Do we

181
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 2: find stagnation? And if that's the case, if we allow

182
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 2: this to go through, what happens when all of a

183
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 2: sudden you've got Paramount and Amazon going uh oh, this

184
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 2: Netflix Warner deal has left us in the dust. Does

185
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 2: that mean that all of a sudden you've got Paramount

186
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 2: saying Amazon, you guys want to get together, you want

187
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 2: to knock boots calea. Do people still say that No, Okay,

188
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 2: Apple and Peacock, do they go, hey, you want you

189
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 2: wanna saddle up and ride into the sunset? Was that

190
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 2: any better? I felt like that wasn't a whole lot better.

191
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 2: That was actually worse worse.

192
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 6: Yeah.

193
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 2: In other words, are we seeing the beginning of a

194
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 2: race for consolidation? And for those of you that say no,

195
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 2: that can't happen, I mean, prior to Cable we had

196
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 2: three networks. That was it. So the idea that we

197
00:10:55,600 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 2: could have three or four major streaming conglomerates still make

198
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 2: the argument that actually it's not exactly a monopoly because

199
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 2: you still have all of these you know, there are

200
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 2: still three or four different choices out there. I My

201
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 2: concern here is obviously the creatives, the employees. Consolidation always

202
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 2: costs jobs, and honestly, selfishly, I'm concerned that the what

203
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 2: I think is kind of the revitalized golden era of television,

204
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 2: which I would say started with AMC's productions Mad Men,

205
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 2: Walking Dead, those shows that came out in the twenty tens,

206
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 2: and then on into the streaming wars where we actually

207
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 2: saw good quality streaming products that were being made in

208
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 2: the in the late twenty tens in the early twenty twenties.

209
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 2: I'm afraid this is the beginning of the end of

210
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 2: that era. It was nice while it lasted. Speaking of

211
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 2: the other streamers, I don't know who does Hulu matchup? Oh,

212
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 2: they're already with Disney. Weel he saw Disney Hulu ESPN.

213
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 2: That's already together. Right, So there you go. You got

214
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 2: Disney and Hulu, Apple, Peacock, Paramounse Guide answer they match

215
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 2: up with Amazon? I think it happens. Meanwhile, we're taking

216
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 2: what's on the streaming screen, we're putting it onto the

217
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 2: cinema screen. People are getting excited about it. I'm not

218
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 2: so sure the reviewers are, though. That's next.

Speaker 2: the howling market should crash precipitously. I would love to

Speaker 2: Meanwhile? I got hot girls calling me? Okay, all right, yeah,

00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 2: she's hot. You just sound pervy. Can we get into

250
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 2: the content. You need to just relax a little bit. Uh,

251
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 2: we were just discussing the Netflix Warner Brothers deal and

252
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 2: what does that mean to theaters. Are we going to

253
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 2: see fewer films in the theaters and are they going

254
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 2: to be worth a crap? I mean, the the quality

255
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 2: of content has been a concern for a while. And

256
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 2: also I think that a number of people and I'm

257
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 2: included in this category too, this is one of the

258
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 2: things Netflix says, Oh, this is consumer driven, It's what

259
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 2: the consumers want. I think I made the point that

260
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 2: when the Superman movie came out, I was excited. I

261
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 2: wanted to see the new Superman. I thought it looked

262
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 2: really good. I heard good reviews. I'm a fan of Superman.

263
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 2: When the Superman movie came out, I was like, that

264
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 2: looks amazing. But then again, if I just wait for

265
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 2: like six weeks, then I can just watch it in

266
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 2: my living room. That's what I did. No, I mean,

267
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 2: I don't need to pat myself on the on my back.

268
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 2: I did rent it before it became before it was

269
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 2: free on HBO. I did pay the twenty bucks or

270
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 2: whatever it was, so I did end up throwing a

271
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 2: little money back at the studio. But I think for

272
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 2: a lot of people that go Wow, that looks really good.

273
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 2: I can't wait for it to come out. And there

274
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 2: was a time. This is back when you were just

275
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 2: a wei lass, Kayla, before you knew you liked those

276
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 2: hot accents from Ferners anywhere, a wee lass before then, Okay,

277
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 2: a film would come out and then you'd have to

278
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 2: wait like two years before it hit Blockbuster, at least

279
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 2: a year before I hit Blockbuster, and then got all

280
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 2: excited because it was finally coming out. Okay, so Blockbuster

281
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 2: was a store that used to have tapes vhs. Yeah,

282
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 2: so how do I describe this? Okay, you get the point. Now.

283
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 2: The turnaround is so fast it takes like no time

284
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 2: at all. In fact, get this, I close it. My

285
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 2: wife wants to get to Netflix for Christmas. Right, She's like,

286
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 2: I want Netflix for Christmas. Okay. We've been without it

287
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 2: for like two years because I thought it's kind of crap.

288
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 2: But then we keep hearing about you know, you start

Speaker 2: two hours long with a bunch of fans. It's almost like,

328
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 2: what's that thing we did when there would be like

329
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 2: a big like cinema. Oh, it's like going to a movie.

330
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 2: We get all excited because we go all, look, there's

331
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 2: gonna be a bunch of fans. They're watching the same thing.

332
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 2: Experiencing it all together. Yeah, yeah, Look, the idea of

333
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 2: going to the cinema is still alive, but then at

334
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 2: the same time it's gonna drop on Netflix. So what

335
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 2: is the What is the urgency then, other than going

336
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 2: to be with a bunch of other people who are

337
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 2: like minded, and that's that's one of the big draws

338
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 2: to going to the cinema. There's no urgency. If the

339
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 2: only way you could see that until April was to

340
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 2: go to the cinema, it would drive more people to

341
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 2: put their butts in the seats. But if you have

342
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 2: these big conglomerate studios merging and streaming everything, what's the urgency.

343
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 2: There's no fomo with it anymore. All Right, The second

344

Speaker 2: biggest economy in your household might actually be the little

345
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 2: mouths that you're feeding. There's no reason their GDP should

346
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,560

353
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 2: So if you missed anything, lucky you you can still

354
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 2: catch it. When you were a wee one, you remember

355
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 2: when your parents give you an allowance. Now, for some

356
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 2: of you, you're gonna say, my parents never give me

357
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 2: an allowance. I'm not talking to you then. But if

358
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 2: you had gotten allowance, you remember when your parents gave

359
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 2: me an allowance and he thought, oh look at this,

360
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 2: I've got that that coveted dollar a week. I remember

361
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 2: getting the dollar a week, man. I thought I was

362
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 2: rolling in it. I thought I was living high on

363
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 2: the hog dollar a week, and I used to look

364
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 2: forward to it. My parents used to get paid on Wednesdays.

365
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 2: I know, it's a weird payday. They ran their own business,

366
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 2: so they decided when payday was. It was always Wednesday.

367
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 2: And I remember my parents Wednesday was when we got

368
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 2: our allowance. I wake up in the you know, get

369
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 2: on by allowance. Man. I never forgot. That's what it

370
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 2: got me looking forward to paydays because I knew my

371
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 2: parents pay day was Wednesday. That was also my payday.

372
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 2: I knew it. Got a dollar a week. And then, uh,

373
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 2: you're a little bit older. My parents stopped giving me

374
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 2: that dollar a week, and they said I needed to

375
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 2: earn my keep. I needed to bring my own money in.

376
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 2: My father first started nagging me about a job when

377
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 2: I was nine. It's nine years old. My father's like,

378
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 2: you need to get a job. Start pulling your weight

379
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 2: around here. I did, but it was I just you know,

380
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 2: you're nine years old. You should be doing something, should

381
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 2: be mowing lawns. Not even allowed to touch the lawnmower. Well,

382
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 2: your mother will teach you how to use it. My

383
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 2: mother taught me how to start mowing lawns when I

384
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 2: was nine. I'm pretty sure that's an ocean violation. Probably

385
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 2: could have been mulched. That was back in the day.

386
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 2: We still didn't used to leaded gasoline. We didn't even

387
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 2: have multures a bag or you could not bag. Those

388
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 2: are your choices. That was me nine years old out

389
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 2: there pushing a lawnmore didn't have self propelled either to

390
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 2: push it. By the time I was twelve, I finally

391
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 2: got a paper route. Yeah, I did a lot of

392
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 2: substitute paper routing. I had a couple of buddies at

393
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 2: paper routes. They were the coolest because they got in. Finally,

394
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 2: somebody quit their paper route, and the local newspaper gave

395
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 2: me the paper route. I was rolling in dough. I

396
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 2: was making upwards a seventy dollars a month take that,

397
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 2: mowing lawns in the summertime, delivering newspapers, bought myself a

398
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 2: bike man. That's when I knew I was. I was

399
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,479
Speaker 2: doing well. But did I get an allowance at that point? No,

400
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 2: Pops is like, you don't need an allowance. You've got a job.

401
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 2: I don't need to give you handouts. You got a job.

402
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 2: Whole point of getting a job is no more handouts.

403
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:04,239
Speaker 2: He's pretty old school. So imagine when I see that

404
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 2: the average child now gets fifty two dollars a month

405
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 2: and allowance, that is an increase of thirty six dollars

406
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 2: over what their parents got at the same age. And

407
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 2: I'm old enough to be there, not quite parents yet,

408
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 2: but thirty six thirty six dollars. So see, hang on,

409
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 2: So fifty kila, what's the difference here? It's fifty two

410
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 2: dollars a month, it's thirty six dollars more. That means

411
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 2: that we would take we would take fifty two and

412
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 2: we would subtract sixteen thirty six. Hang on, I gotta

413
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 2: borrow from over here and then carry the Do I

414
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 2: carry it to? Or do I borrow? I have to borrow, right,

415
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 2: and then I end up with it's twelve. Hang on,

416
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 2: I gotta take my socks off. Oh Jesus, sixteen dollars.

417
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 2: In other words, their parents were getting about four dollars

418
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 2: a week an allowance, and now the kids these days

419
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 2: are getting like thirteen, fourteen dollars a week. It's wild

420
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 2: to me, it's crazy. I don't even think it's outrageous.

421
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 2: I think I'm just getting old. See, I don't think

422
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 2: that's a crazy, crazy amount depending on their age. I

423
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 2: don't think a five year old needs that much a week.

424
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 2: I think a five year old get like five dollars

425
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 2: a week. That's fine. That's probably about equivalent of me

426
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 2: when I was getting a dollar week back in the day.

427
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 2: It's enough for like a candy bar, right, you get

428
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 2: a candy bar, pack of gum. That's it, whatever it is.

429
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 2: My parents never let me use my allowance for buying candy.

430
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 2: They always told me I had to save it. You

431
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 2: need to save that for what? Oh, then you can

432
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 2: buy something big. You know what I bought with my allowance?

433
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 2: Bought the Ghostbusters soundtrack. Yes, I did. First record I

434
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 2: ever bought Ghostbusters soundtrack, No apologies. Yeah, I danced the

435
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 2: night away to that thing. I loved it, Yes I did.

436
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 2: Isn't that Ray Parker Junior? Do I remember that? Right? Yeah? Yeah? Okay,

437
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 2: thanks to Ally helped me out of that one. Man,

438
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 2: I'm booking down to this thing. I had to say

439
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 2: birthday money and everything for that. I think that record

440
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 2: was like six dollars or something like that. You said,

441
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 2: dance around to that my underwear every Saturday morning. I

442
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 2: loved it. That was the good stuff. But here's where

443
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 2: I think things are getting a little a little trippy.

444
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 2: Instead of giving their kid cash, which I think is

445
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 2: very helpful psychologically. When you're giving your kid cash as allowance,

446
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 2: allows the kid to see the green back, they can

447
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 2: count it in their hands. I think that's important. When

448
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 2: you're talking about a small child who's learning account money,

449
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 2: I think that's an important thing. I also think it

450
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 2: gives them a sense of the practice of trade. In

451
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 2: other words, I'm going to give you this piece of

452
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 2: paper and exchange for something else in return. I think

453
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 2: that the physical machination of doing that has a psychological effect,

454
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 2: it gives that money value. Instead, what parents are doing

455
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 2: is they're sending them money to their kids via apps,

456
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 2: or they're giving their kids pre loaded debit cards for

457
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 2: their allowances. I am actually concerned about money management skills

458
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 2: that the kids are not learning. Part of the reason

459
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 2: foreign allowance is learning money management skills. Instead, what we're

460
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 2: doing is I'll venmo it to you, sweetie. So that

461
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 2: kind of trips me out a little bit. I don't

462
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 2: think that's beneficial. So if you're giving your kids an allowance,

463
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 2: or if you've got the kids that have kids and

464
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 2: they're giving their kids a wall allowance, maybe encourage them

465
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 2: to use cash so that the kids understand the psychological

466
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 2: practice I guess of of trading and the value of

467
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 2: those paper dollars. Now the future, they may be using

468
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 2: their own apps, they may be venmoing, they may be

469
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 2: doing Apple pay, whatever else it is, but they need

470
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 2: to have a ground and base level understanding of what

471
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 2: it means to trade cash for things. Also, stop giving

472
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 2: them like fifteen dollars a month or fifteen dollars a week.

473
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 2: Don't do that. It feels like excessive. Although I suppose

474
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 2: to your kids are like I don't know, in sixth

475
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 2: grade and you're still giving them allowances. Then they could

476
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 2: get a paper route. Ooh, do we even have paper

477
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 2: routes anymore? No, we don't. What do people even line

478
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 2: their bird cages with? Now? I had coupons ad edit

479
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 2: val packs, but the only thing that still gets mailed out.

480
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 2: That's about it. Unbelievable, all right. Imagine you're out there

481
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 2: trying to date and half the goober's and the apps

482
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 2: haven't done this one very basic thing since the Obama years.

483
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 2: Maybe that's why they're still on the apps. Your love

484
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 2: life deserves better than this laziness. What that is next?

485
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: Chris Merrill, you're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

486
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 6: From the talkbacks, Chris Merrill, I have been remiss in

487
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 6: saying how wonderful Kayla is as well.

488
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 2: Whoa whoa, whoa, whoa whoa.

489
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,199
Speaker 6: So I hope she's gonna be on every day in

490
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 6: the upcoming weeks as well.

491
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 2: She's not. No, her contractor is weekends only. I told

492
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 2: her she should come in, she didn't want to.

493
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 6: But about allowance, may I just tell you I received

494
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 6: a quarter from my father until he passed away. When

495
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 6: I was nine, and he taught me to hold the

496
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 6: quarter up to the sun and it could block out the.

497
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 2: Sun at your dog. All right, So she got cut

498
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 2: off again. I think this is the third time she's

499
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 2: called and got cut off every time, although this time

500
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 2: I think she just ran out of time. She likes you, Kayla.

501
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 2: Kyla was out trying to wrestle up. Doctor Wendy.

502
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 7: I like her too, and I appreciate people wanting me

503
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 7: on with you because I think we make a dynamic duo.

504
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're all right for a girl. Dr Wendy Walsh

505
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 2: takes over the padded room, coming up here at seven o'clock,

506
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 2: Doctor Wendy, I've been sitting on this one for a while. Girl.

507
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 2: I was reading the story about how men are basically

508
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 2: screwing themselves over in the dating app by not making

509
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 2: enough effort. So here it is. According to Newsweek, straight

510
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 2: millennial men are failing to make enough effort on dating apps,

511
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 2: contributing to what some describe as they brought her dating crisis.

512
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 2: They explained dating app habits over all these different members,

513
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 2: and they said basically that dudes don't update their profiles.

514
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 2: Seven out of ten straight millennial mens surveyed say they

515
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 2: have never or rarely updated their dating profiles since first

516
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 2: creating them, and so they said, that's an obstacle to connection.

517
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 2: Is that one of those deals where in advertising sometimes

518
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 2: we'll have somebody come in and they'll say, hey, the

519
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 2: commercials aren't working. We're not getting the phone calls that

520
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 2: we want. And the first thing that we always do,

521
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 2: taking people behind the scenes. You you already know this

522
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 2: because you've been around me to your whole life. But

523
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 2: the first thing we do is we go, Okay, what's

524
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 2: the message and how do we tinker with the message

525
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 2: to make the message, you know, ring true? Is this

526
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 2: Are they sabotaging themselves by not going, oh, I'm not

527
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 2: getting any dates? They don't know why no women are

528
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 2: reaching out to me. Is it because they're not taking

529
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 2: a look at their messaging here or is it that

530
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 2: they're just lazy? And is that a red flag?

531
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 8: I think the problem is with the apps and the

532
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 8: way they're structured. I'm actually going to be talking about

533
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 8: this in our show tonight. So the apps are designed

534
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 8: to keep you addicted to the apps, not necessarily to

535
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 8: help you find them. If that were true, they'd be

536
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 8: advertising how many marriages they were responsible for this year,

537
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 8: but you'll never hear that, right, And what they do

538
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 8: is as soon as you have a match, what they

539
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 8: should be doing the apps is cutting you off from

540
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 8: anyone else till you explore that. And in the messaging

541
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 8: side of the app, giving you prompts to help you

542
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 8: build a connection, but they don't do that. They keep

543
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 8: supporting you, supplying you with a new stream of possible mates,

544
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 8: so you can't focus. And we know that men have

545
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 8: trouble focusing.

546
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 2: Okay, so there we go.

547
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 8: They're just scrolling on through looking at what possibility could

548
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 8: be there instead of focusing on the bird in the hand.

549
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 8: I hate to individually blame men or women for how

550
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 8: they're using the app, because the apps themselves are not

551
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 8: designed well to have love the mates.

552
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 2: This is why I brought this up with you, because

553
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 2: I knew that you'd have a beautiful perspective on it.

554
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 8: So I'm just thinking that having said that, yeah, if

555
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 8: they are swimming in that polluted sea, they might as

556
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 8: well update their profile. And yes, I mean as possible.

557
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 6: Right.

558
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 2: Well, I'm just thinking, I'm processing what you just said,

559
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 2: and I'm thinking to myself from a psychological standpoint. Is

560
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 2: it one of those situations where you do you start

561
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 2: dating someone, but you don't delete the app because well,

562
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 2: you know, there might be somebody prettier come along. Right, So,

563
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 2: when you're always comparing them to the next possible thing,

564
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 2: it's not even that you're comparing them to something tangible,

565
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 2: is that you're comparing them to the potential for something

566
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 2: even better out there.

567
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 8: And the phenomenon that you're describing is something I talk

568
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 8: about on my show regularly, which is paradox of choice.

569
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 8: It's a cognitive bias that says, when the human brain

570
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 8: is presented with too much choice, it has trouble making

571
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 8: a choice. And when it does make a choice, find

572
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 8: a match on an app, it doesn't value that choice

573
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 8: very much. It's always thinking about the bigger, better deal

574
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 8: that might have gotten away.

575
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 2: So kind of a paralysis situation too.

576
00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's biohacking your brain. My advice to everybody is

577
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 8: never matched with more than two people at once. Ignore

578
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 8: the stream, Never open up the deck and start flipping

579
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 8: through again. Just focus on those two. Get on the phone, talk,

580
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 8: choose one or the other. Have a coffee. If neither

581
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 8: of them work, get rid of both of them and

582
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 8: start over, but just two, because what guys do is

583
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 8: they'll fill their message box with six women and they'll

584
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 8: just be messaging and then they'll be like, I don't

585
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 8: really want to leave my porn hub and go out. Now,

586
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 8: It's fine, I had enough texts.

587
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 2: Is there an ego gratification that goes with that? For instance,

588
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 2: if I've got one person who's interested in me, I

589
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 2: may not focus on that one person. But if I

590
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 2: can get six people in there, I feel pretty good

591
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 2: about myself. That's very validating that there will be six

592
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 2: different women out there interested in me right now, Well,

593
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 2: I must really be a catch that feels like it.

594
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 8: And also there's this other problem that the app it

595
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 8: actually tricks women into thinking that they can get a

596
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 8: higher status men than really they can. So what ends

597
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 8: up happening is women match with this very small group

598
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 8: of men who are just inundated with women, and then

599
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 8: these other guys are left out in the cold and

600
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 8: they're rarely getting matches because it's an illusion it creates.

601
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 8: It creates this illusion for women that they can all

602
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:21,879
Speaker 8: get this you know, tall, deep voiced, young, good looking

603
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,879
Speaker 8: CEO who's driving a Porsche right and so they're all

604
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 8: going for him, and that guy is going to end

605
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 8: up being a loser because he has so much sexual opportunity.

606
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:34,760
Speaker 8: The last thing he's going to be his commitment oriented.

607
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 2: Doesn't that happen with dudes too, because dudes are always

608
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 2: chasing the hot blonde swimsuit model and we never really

609
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 2: want to settle for the very normal, down to earth

610
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 2: not crazy chick. I'm going to wash your mouth out

611
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 2: with soap.

612
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 8: I'm gonna wash wash her. Yes, I'm going to wash

613
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 8: your mouth out with soap. There's a word we never

652
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:39,160

653
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 8: woman who's very high value because she's a woman and

654

655
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 8: She is a cool woman, but she's regular looking, she

656
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 8: would go into her town, her bar or whatever, and

657
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 8: she would see her regular looking guys. There would be

658
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,760
Speaker 8: one or two of them who are the town doctor

659
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 8: or lawyer, and maybe she has a couple of cheerleaning

660
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 8: friends who are vying for them, but she would pick

661
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 8: who she would pick because he makes her happy and

662
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 8: she loves them. Now she goes on an app and
