1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: This is a podcast from wor Now the wr Saturday

2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: Morning Show.

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,879
Speaker 2: Here's Larry Minty this week on Saturday Morning, It's the

4
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 2: best of Curtis Leiwa and Larry Minty in the Morning.

5
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 2: Starting with Mark Zuckerberg and Meta losing a big lawsuit

6
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 2: that accused Facebook and Instagram of harming young users on purpose.

7
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 2: We talked with tech expert Rich Demiro from WRS Rich

8
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 2: on tech Rich a blockbuster ruling, a huge ruling for

9
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 2: the social media industry. Meta Orders is ordered to pay

10
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 2: a three hundred and seventy five million dollars. It could

11
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 2: have been worse. They were asking for two billion dollars

12
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: over child safety violations. What does this mean to the

13
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 2: entire industry.

14
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it means that it's a wake up call that

15
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 3: these companies can be held liable for what they're doing,

16
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 3: especially when they say they're doing one thing like protecting

17
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 3: teens and kids and actually are not.

18
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 4: So.

19
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,639
Speaker 3: These investigators in this case created fake accounts posing as kids,

20
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 3: and they were quickly exposed to sexual content and contacted

21
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 3: by predators, something that is probably not you know, not

22
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 3: all that random, I guess. I mean, it's probably pretty

23
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 3: common for a lot of kids on these practice on

24
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 3: these platforms. So jury said Meta engaged in deceptive practices

25
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 3: basically promoting safety but not really doing that.

26
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 4: So excuse me.

27
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 3: We have a case happening in California where Meta is

28
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 3: also on the stand and the jury is deliberating on that,

29
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 3: so we will see. This could open up the floodgates

30
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 3: for many more verdicts like this if these juries keep

31
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 3: deciding that, hey, you know what these companies are doing,

32
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 3: are saying one thing and doing another.

33
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: It's like a drug dealer pretty much. They've said, the companies,

34
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: you're a drug deal with our kids and grandchildren. You know,

35
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: they are addicting them to the constant usage. What I

36
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: don't understand is there are other people in Silicon Valley

37
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: who are also being sued. And there's no doubt. Dad

38
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: lawyer said, you do not want to be up on

39
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: the witness stand. Just settle, settle, settle, settle. Yeah, why

40
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: did Zuckerberg decide I'm gonna battle this, I'm gonna be

41
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: on the witness stand. I'm likable, I can win over

42
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: a jury. Boy for somebody who's made so much money,

43
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: not too bright.

44
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's never come off as likable He has

45
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 3: never come off as saying the right thing when he's

46
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 3: under pressure. We've seen that over and over. But he

47
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 3: seems to think that maybe in his heart of hearts,

48
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 3: he is doing the right thing. But I think that,

49
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 3: you know, he's one person in charge of a very

50
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 3: large organization. We're talking Instagram, we're talking reels, we're talking Facebook,

51
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 3: and so he may think they're doing the right thing

52
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 3: and by putting their best face forward and being on

53
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 3: the stand, But in reality, the way average people are

54
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 3: using these products and what average kids are exposed to

55
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 3: is a completely different story on all these platforms.

56
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 2: Rich schools across the country have been trying to deal

57
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 2: with AI and what they're going to allow and what

58
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 2: they're going to prohibit. Everybody a college is all the

59
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 2: way down to grade schools. Normally this is for the students,

60
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 2: but interestingly enough, in New York City schools they have

61
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: rules now for the educators and what they can use

62
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 2: and not use. For instance, AI cannot be used for grading,

63
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: it can't be used for student counseling, behavioral monitoring, and

64
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 2: other discussions. Is this a first or is this happening

65
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 2: across the country.

66
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 3: I think that every school district is figuring out how

67
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 3: to incorporate AI or how to I mean a lot

68
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 3: of them when it first came out just that absolutely

69
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 3: not it's banned, you can't use it. But I think

70
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 3: as every single person in America and the world at

71
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 3: large is starting to use AI or incorporating it in

72
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 3: their daily lives, these school systems have to say, Okay,

73
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 3: we can't just ban this. We have to either embrace it.

74
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 3: We have to come up with rules. And I think

75
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 3: what the New York City Department of Education is doing

76
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 3: is actually quite smart because they're telling teachers, look, we

77
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 3: understand that you're already using this behind the scenes in

78
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 3: a lot of different ways, so we're gonna allow it

79
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 3: and we're gonna let you brainstorm lesson ideas, which is

80
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 3: completely smart. Everyone's doing this, organizing your materials, drafting emails.

81
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 3: I use AI to write my emails every single day,

82
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 3: and so the things that they've kind of said no,

83
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 3: you can't use it for that's a smart carve out

84
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 3: right now. So I think every district is grappling with this.

85
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 3: But if you look at the students, they're all using it.

86
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 3: I don't think they should be using it to write papers,

87
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 3: but should use it to research. Absolutely, it's the way

88
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 3: people are researching today.

89
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: Speaking of students, mostly male, I have three shuns, remember

90
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: the TV program My Three Shuns. What is the one

91
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: thing that they have in common? Love of Fortnite or Roadblocks?

92
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: I hate Roadbox. I can deal with Fortnite, but I understand.

93
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: I'm with you, I'm with you. I despise Roadblocks, Yes, totally.

94
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: I'd rather watch Barney episodes as much as I hated Barney.

95
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: But they say that there is a broader weakness in

96
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: the video game industry. I haven't since that, and now

97
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: that I'm starting to make massive cuts, which means less

98
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: Fortnite content, you know, so they can constantly refresh in

99
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:32,119
Speaker 1: the game.

100
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 4: I thought, in fact, if anything, it was.

101
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: More use of video games by the new generation.

102
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 3: It is, but I think that what we're seeing here

103
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 3: is nothing can reach the levels of video gameplay like

104
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 3: we saw during the pandemic. Students, I mean kids, my

105
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 3: kids included. You know, they really got hooked on these games.

106
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 3: Not so much Fortnite for my kids, but Roadblocks especially

107
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 3: be Fortnite said they're laying off more than a thousand employees.

108
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 3: It's about twenty percent of their staff, one of the

109
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 3: biggest cuts we've seen in gaming so far. And they said,

110
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 3: you know what, engagement has just been dropping since last year.

111
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 3: But the thing that they made clear, because we're hearing

112
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 3: about AI impacting jobs so much, they said, this has

113
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 3: nothing to do with AI. We're not replacing workers with AI.

114
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 3: We're just seeing less people play. And last year they

115
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 3: raised the price of their in game currency, they call

116
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 3: them v bucks. But the reality is, yes, our kids

117
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 3: still playing Fortnite absolutely.

118
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:33,679
Speaker 2: Is it still popular.

119
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 3: Yes, I think we're just seeing a slow retreat as

120
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 3: there are more options available with gameplay and also social

121
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 3: media on these phones.

122
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 2: So what is Amazon up to? They bought a company

123
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 2: that makes consumer humanoid robots. Does that mean robots are

124
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 2: going to be making deliveries to our house or is

125
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 2: it drones that will be making deliveries too ourhouse?

126
00:06:58,600 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 5: Oh?

127
00:06:58,839 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 2: All the above there.

128
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 3: I think this is a This is a company called

129
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 3: Fauna Robotics. They're making a small humanoid robotic. It's named Sprout.

130
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 3: And you know Amazon already has robots making deliveries. They

131
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 3: already have robots in their warehouses, they have a ton

132
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 3: of automation. This I think is kind of a move

133
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 3: towards the humanoid robot for people. So we've seen a

134
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 3: lot of these robots that are trying to do things

135
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 3: in the home like fold laundry and you know, serve

136
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 3: you whatever. This is a very expensive robot fifty thousand dollars,

137
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 3: but could the scale of Amazon and all the people

138
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 3: that they have the smarts bring that cost down. The

139
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 3: dream for robotics has been we want a Rosy the

140
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 3: robot in our homes. Well, some people do, and so

141
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 3: far we have not seen that happen in a big way.

142
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 3: The best we have is a is a robotic vacuum

143
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 3: that gets caught on the first stock that it runs into.

144
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 2: I feel your pain.

145
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 3: Oh, we'll see this is you know, Amazon launched this

146
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 3: thing called Astro back in twenty twenty one. It was

147
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 3: a basically an Alexa on wheels. It was not very smart.

148
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 3: That thing flopped.

149
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 4: But we'll see.

150
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 3: Every company now is trying to be first in the

151
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 3: home because once we get that robot that the mass

152
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 3: American population can purchase and have actually do interesting things

153
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 3: in their home that could be game changing.

154
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 2: Rich DeMuro from rich On Tech rich on Tech has

155

Speaker 2: you know, the King of Subways. Curtis Leiwa has something

159
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 2: to say about that. Now more of the WOOR Saturday

160
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 2: Morning Show and Larry Mente the NTA claims that new

161
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 2: subway security gates are dramatically stopping fair evaders. Curtis Leiwa,

162
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 2: who spends a lot of time on the subways, disagrees.

163
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 6: So the money taking adency that just wants more and

164
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 6: more money had their monthly hearing and this guy Lee Ber,

165
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 6: somebody broke his arm. You know, he's got his arm

166
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 6: in like a slinger cast. I have no idea who

167
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 6: did that, but let's face it, this is a guy

168
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 6: that everybody hates. Put there by Kathy Hokeel who never

169
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 6: rides the trains of buses, has no idea. You know,

170
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 6: she she can see Canada out her window, you know,

171
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 6: on Tarrity from up there in Erie County.

172
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 1: So he's taking a victory lap claiming that this new technology,

173
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: which is these glass opening lever doors, that we've spent

174
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: incredible amounts of money to put in. It's a one

175
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 1: billion dollar contract. They're installed in twenty stations. Eventually it

176
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: will be about one hundred and twenty.

177
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 6: There's four hundred and seventy two stations right, and we're

178
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 6: already going to spend a billion.

179
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 4: Oh, it's stopped fair evasion.

180
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: So one of the board members says, oh, excuse me,

181
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: have you seen the videos out there?

182
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 4: What you gotta do is google it YouTube. They're going

183
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 4: over under.

184
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: They've already figured out every conceivable way to beat the technology,

185
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 1: and five people have already been injured, trapped by the doors,

186
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: one to five year old girl.

187
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 4: And you know the lawyers already there.

188
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: Slipping for lawyers already sending us documentation that they have

189
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: an intention to sue. So it's gonna cost us, the

190
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: tax payers more money because they.

191
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 4: Didn't take the time to work the kinks out of

192
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 4: the technology. Nothing that they've done has worked.

193
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 1: And then they spend millions on these guards, not even

194
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: from a New York company, Allied in Pennsylvania.

195
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 4: He said, who knows.

196
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 1: The people when Allied this is work that could be

197
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: for companies in New York City, of which there are

198
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: many guard companies. Why is the contract only with Allied,

199
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: And then at the hearing yesterday, a different board member says,

200
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 1: why are we paying these guards? Look at these videos

201
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: where they're actually opening up the emergency gates and letting

202
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: people do fair evasion, and Lieber gets into an argument

203
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: with his own board that's lies.

204
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 4: What are you talking about this?

205
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: We lose a billion dollars alone in not just fair

206
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: of agent subways one point thirty.

207
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 4: The people don't pay half. The people don't pay on

208
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 4: the buses. That's why I left.

209
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 1: When Zoran says free bus farewell halfway there, and all

210
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: the people who are not paying their tolls on the

211
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: bridges and tunnels a billion dollars, that's what congestion pricing

212
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: is for, to make up that loss.

213
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 2: It's always I'm going to make up people. Now you're

214
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 2: talking to us, Now you're talking to me, and you're

215
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 2: talking to Natalie. People are furious still about the congestion pricing,

216
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 2: and the.

217
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 4: Fact that we're paying for free.

218
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 2: Fares for everybody else is what makes it worse. Have

219
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 2: you seen on YouTube, by the way, there is a

220
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 2: guy that goes around and shows you how to scam

221
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 2: all the systems, how to get in yeah, and how

222
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 2: as soon as these new tolls were put in. He

223
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 2: showed how one guy goes in, stands there and then

224
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 2: everybody else can go in for free. Everybody else can

225
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 2: go in right after him. It's amazing, and they don't

226
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 2: do anything about it. That's the number one thing that

227
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 2: they should.

228
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 4: Tackle, and they don't.

Speaker 5: It's gorgeous. It's absolutely gorgeous. It's really you know that

250
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 5: it's like another world, which is like, I mean, it

251
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 5: almost feels like you're on a movie set or something.

252
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 5: It almost feels like you're you're looking at it like

00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 5: is that a green screen? No, No, it's Iceland, and

Speaker 5: it's it's terrific. The people are great, and this film

255
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 5: festival is is terrific. Speaking ahead, go ahead, I was

256
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 5: just gonna say, speaking about being on top of the world.

257
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 5: The movie this this week, fans of Vince Vaughan are

258
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 5: gonna feel like they're on top of the world that

259
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 5: they have Hulu and they watch this film. It starts

260
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 5: streaming this weekend, called Mike and Nick and Nick and Alice.

261
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 5: The goofy title and a kind of a goofy movie,

262
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 5: but it's really kind of fun. This has got two

263
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 5: roles in it. He plays a present day gangster and

264
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 5: then the same character from six months in the future.

265
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 5: So when this gangster named Nick who finds a time machine,

266
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 5: of course, because that's sometimes what happens, he goes back

267
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 5: in time to save his friend Mike from getting whacked.

268
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 5: And it's sort of like groundhog Day with an action angle.

269
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 5: But it's kind of funny too. Have you seen any

270
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 5: trailers for it or anything that not one?

271
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 2: Nope, not at all.

272
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, it's the.

273
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 5: It's I think it's really enjoyable, and I think it's

274
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 5: I'm giving it three stars. Larry. I think it's a

275
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 5: you know, it's kind of imaginative and fun. It's also

276
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 5: a little like Palm Springs, this movie from a couple

277
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 5: of years ago. And and you know, it's it's like

278
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 5: I said's kind of like groundhog Day. And and Vince

279
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 5: Vaughan is, you know, good to have him back after

280
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 5: a while. He kind of wasn't getting jobs. He was,

281
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 5: you know, in the nineties with movies like Swingers, and

282
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 5: then he you know, unfortunately did Psycho, but he was

283
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 5: wedding crashers. He's always been fun, but he was kind

284
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 5: of gone for a while, but he's back here playing

285
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 5: two roles, and it kind of reminds me that there's,

286
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 5: you know, there's this sort of a thing now with technology,

287
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 5: it's so easy to make actors play two roles in

288
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 5: a movie.

289
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 4: Right.

290
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 5: Sinners last year had Michael B. Jordan, who just got

291
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 5: Best Actor. He was in two roles. Robert de Niro

292
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 5: played two gangsters in Alto Knights last year. You know,

293
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 5: so it's like it's very easy to just press a

294
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 5: button and do it. It's no longer like you have

295
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 5: to do like you know, one actors is obviously a

296
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 5: stunt double, and then the other one is Betty Davis

297
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 5: or something, or Peter Sellers.

298
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 2: We had a couple, we had a couple high profile

299
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 2: Hollywood deaths this week, and let's take each one so

300
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 2: you can talk a little bit about them. How about

301
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 2: Chuck Norris.

302
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know what's interesting because Chuck Norris, of course,

303
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 5: you know, he was on Walker Texas Ranger. But before that,

304
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 5: you know, if he really set himself apart in the

305
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 5: late seventies and eighties as a martial arts action hero.

306
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 5: You know, his first big break was working with with

307
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 5: Bruce Lee in Lee's final completed film Way of the

308
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 5: Dragon in nineteen seventy two, and when I worked in

309
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 5: a video store Larry in the eighties, movies like The

310
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 5: Octagon and An Eye for an Eye good guys were black.

311
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 5: Those were always popular renters. But he also did some

312
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 5: bigger canvas films too that I always thought were kind

313
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 5: of fun, like the Missing in Action films and Invasion

314
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 5: USA and The Delta Phores, which is this really fun

315
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 5: movie that he did with Lee Marvin. And there's a

316
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 5: really a good top action or action movie called Code

317
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 5: of Silence that even Siskel and Ebert gave thumbs up to.

318
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 5: And so obviously once the nineties came around and he

319
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 5: was on Walker Texas Ranger, like he was obviously in

320
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 5: homes every week, But those movies in the eighties he

321
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 5: kind of set him apart from the guys like Schwarzenegger

322
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 5: and Stallone and later on Bruce Willis because he had

323
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 5: martial arts stuff going on. But he was also sort

324
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 5: of like he kind of had an everyman quality, and

325
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 5: I think that, you know, he was really an integral

326
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 5: part of that stuff. He had been, of course, co

327
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 5: starred in like I think it was twenty twelve with

328
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 5: a bunch of those guys in The Expendables too, which

329
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 5: is also fun. Those movies are fun. So yeah, it's

330
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 5: a loss for Chuck Norris.

331
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's also a Valerie Parene. And you know what,

332
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 2: I always thought I liked her a lot, and I

333
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 2: always thought she was underrated as an actress.

334
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 5: Totally agree. You know, she was sort of known for

335
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 5: being obviously very sexy in the nineteen seventies, but she

336
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 5: also had an Oscar nomination for playing Lenny Bruce's wife

337
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 5: in the hoff And drama Lenny that Bob Fosse directed,

338
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 5: and she did a few other things Slaughterhouse Fog. But

339
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 5: you know, anyone who was twelve as I was when

340
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 5: that first Superman movie came out in nineteen seventy eight,

341
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 5: the Christopher Reeve one remember her as miss Kesmacker, right,

342
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 5: she was Lex Loosers hench woman. She's also in Superman too.

343
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 5: But she was really funny and sexy and she could

344
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 5: kind of hold her own with guys like Hoffman and

345
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 5: Gene Hackman. And she also co starred with Jack Nicholson

346
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 5: in a movie called The Border from nineteen eighty two,

347
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 5: so she was really like she kind of was underappreciated

348
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 5: in a lot of ways. And I think it was

349
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 5: also that era for actresses, like they kind of, you know,

350
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 5: if you weren't one thing, they kind of didn't know

351
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 5: what to do with you, if you weren't or cal Wells,

352
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 5: you weren't, you know, Jane Fonda. I think Hollywood wasn't

353
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 5: sure what to do with Valerie Prane because she was

354
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 5: she was not she was not the average sex symbol,

355
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 5: but she was also she wasn't given enough goods but

356
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 5: you could be really good, and her career faltered in

357
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 5: the eighties. But like Norris, she has a really special

358
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 5: spot I think in movie history. And she was great

359
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 5: in Superman.

360
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exactly right. Everybody remembers Superman. Everybody remembers that

361
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 2: she is the heroine that saved Superman's life. He was

362
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 2: going to die. Do you remember with the Kryptonite tied

363
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 2: around his neck in the water and looking up at

364
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 2: her and saying help me, and then she did. It

365
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 2: was everybody's gonna remember her and save them. Everything, go ahead.

366
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 2: Every the headline I've seen has been Superman.

367
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 5: Yeah.

368
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 4: Yeah.

369
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 5: And you know what's funny because that role has been

370
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 5: been kind of recreated on the subsequent Superman movies. Parker

371
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 5: Posey did it in the in the two thousand and

372
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 5: sixth movie, but they can't ever really kind of capture

373
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,719
Speaker 5: it right. A couple of weeks ago, actually, as it happens,

374
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 5: I happened to see Superman at the United Palace Theater

375
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 5: about one hundred and seventy fifth and Broadway, and they

376
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 5: show great old movies there on the big screen, and

377
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 5: they showed that for a Superman movie from seventy eight,

378
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 5: and you know, the audience was applauding for everything, applauding

379
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 5: for all the all the big names, Marlon Brando and

380
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 5: Gene Hackman. But when Parne was on, and she's so

381
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 5: funny in certain scenes, and when she dives in to

382
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 5: save them, the crowd applauds and and really like, you know,

383
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 5: burst into into you know, kind of a roove, you know,

384
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 5: go the save Superman. She really was great and U

385
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 5: and I think that that's the kind of thing that

386
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 5: when you think about other actresses, even from the seventies,

387
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 5: I'm not sure a lot of actresses could have done

388
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 5: that and still held their dignity. She's funny, and she's smart,

389
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 5: and she's smarter than left Luthori's the other the other kick, right,

390
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 5: Gene Hackman is is talking to her and thinks he's

391
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 5: throunded by idiots, and obviously Ned Beatty is, but she's

392
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 5: smarter than he is, and she plays it like that.

393
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 3: So is it?

394
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 2: Valerie Parne? You said Parne, I had heard it on

395
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 2: Parin because I had heard on CNN. I heard Parene

396
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 2: on CNN. But I'm gonna go with you. I'm not

397
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 2: going to trust CNN. I don't know why I did

398
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 2: in the first place.

399
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,040

446
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 2: Hey, let's talk about Stephen Colbert because I can't. When

447
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 2: I saw this story, I could not be So he's

448
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 2: leaving the Late Show and he's doing what well.

449
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 7: Remember David Letterman leaves, he grows a beard, goes into hiding.

450
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 7: Johnny Carson. You never see him again except that one

451
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 7: time on Letterman's show. Conan did a new show, David Rather,

452
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 7: Stephen Colbert is writing the new Lord of the Rings

453
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 7: movie for Warner Brothers with his son. It's very, very bizarre,

454
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 7: but you know what it tells me. So I've never

455
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 7: really liked Stephen Colbert. Very very boring, very dull, very

456
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 7: nice excepted Trump. It's nice to everybody Excepted Trump.

457
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 4: Uh.

458
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 7: The best late night hosts are outsiders, right, David Letterman,

459
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 7: a weatherman from Indiana, Conan O'Brien and nobody. And then

460
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 7: you have Stephen Colbert, who's just kind of huggy, kissy

461
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 7: friendly with everybody, and that is why his show's so boring.

462
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 7: So meanwhile he's you know, calling up people looking for

463
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 7: jobs in Hollywood.

464
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 4: It's just so.

465
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 7: Bizarre to me that this guy is going to be

466
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 7: writing what Frodo and Gandalf have to say.

467
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 4: Now, you a big Stephen colbrit fan.

Speaker 7: and on HBO. So they're making this new show. It's

503
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 7: gonna cost as much as a Game of Throne, something

504
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 7: like twenty million an episode to do something that remakes

505
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 7: something where up people are all still watching. You know

506
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 7: those movies ended in twenty eleven. It's not that long ago.

507

513
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,879
