1 00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 2 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 2: If I AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. 3 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 2: Thompson's sitting in on a Tuesday night, Wet's wet. Dodgers 4 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 2: win it in convincing fashion five to one. The final 5 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,320 Speaker 2: Nikki just came a running in here with a breaking 6 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 2: news breaking Jackson family news breaking, Michael Jackson benefits from 7 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 2: Jackson estate news. Apparently Paris Jackson getting sixty five million 8 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 2: in benefits from Michael Jackson's estate. Now that she is gorgeous, 9 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 2: that is Michael Jackson's. 10 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 3: Child, stunning girl. But I don't know. 11 00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 2: I mean she's named as his daughter, right, Yes, yeah, 12 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 2: that's his daughter. 13 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 3: But like I don't know, I don't know. 14 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 4: You're saying she doesn't look like Michael Jackson. 15 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,479 Speaker 3: There is no family resemblance there. 16 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 2: Well, she's got a point there, actually, Sam, there's no 17 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 2: family resemblance. 18 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 5: According to reports, his estate is estimated to be worth 19 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 5: around two point five billion. 20 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, so sixty five million is just a little bit 21 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 2: of a spinoff. It's kind of a rounding error. 22 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, where's all the money gone? 23 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,839 Speaker 2: She raised concerns over what she was calling premium payouts 24 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 2: made by the estate for attorney time that was unrecorded. 25 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 2: The estate said that the attorneys were instrumental and critical 26 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 2: in getting unprecedented results for this two billion dollar estate. 27 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 2: So you can imagine with all that money, there are attorneys, 28 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 2: they're investment lawyers there. I mean, there are so many 29 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 2: lawyers associated with all of this that there is an industry, 30 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 2: if you want to think of it that way, associated 31 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 2: with the Michael Jackson estate. So she and then we 32 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 2: only know this because of a public court filing, has 33 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 2: received sixty five dollars in sixty five million dollars in 34 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 2: benefits from her father's estate. But because of this legal 35 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 2: tangle and it being an open court, we see a 36 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,119 Speaker 2: little bit more of what is one of the most 37 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 2: valuable celebrity estates in history. Right, So, Paris Jackson getting 38 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 2: sixty five million dollars in benefits from her father's estate 39 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 2: really isn't a lot. And this is part of her 40 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 2: legal attempt to challenge the control and the transparency over 41 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 2: payouts from twenty eighteen. Here's what she said in the filing. 42 00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 2: Few have benefited more from the executor's business judgment then 43 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,079 Speaker 2: the petitioner herself, who has received sixty five million from 44 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,839 Speaker 2: the estate and benefits. I see, I'm sorry. The petitioner 45 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,359 Speaker 2: is a Paris. But what you're reading is the response 46 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 2: to the petition. In other words, she's suing, but this 47 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 2: is the response. And so they say, Look, few have 48 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 2: benefited more from the business judgment of the executors, all 49 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 2: these lawyers. In other words, few have benefited more than 50 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 2: she has. But she's gotten sixty five million as well. 51 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 3: She should. She was his only daughter. 52 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 2: The two billion dollar estate is certainly one that you 53 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 2: would think would spend off more than sixty five I mean, 54 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 2: it's a lot of money. But how old is Paris Jackson, 55 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 2: you may be wondering. I mean, it seems like just yesterday, 56 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 2: but it wasn't. It was a lot of yesterday's. She's 57 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 2: twenty seven years old now. So she's filing a petition 58 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 2: saying that there is excessive gifting and gratuities paid to 59 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 2: these law firms. And she's saying, you're not building for time, 60 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 2: this is just skimming, this is grifting. 61 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 6: She has two siblings as well. 62 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought she's not an only child. 63 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, she has Prince and Blanket. Oh yeah, what's the 64 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 2: story on Prince and Blanket. 65 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 3: They're not mentioned here are different mothers. 66 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 4: I believe that's the way to do it. I don't know. 67 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 4: I don't see Prince and Blanket mentioned. Yeah. 68 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 5: Do you remember when Blanket was dangled out the off 69 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 5: the balcony. 70 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 4: That was scary, That really was scary. 71 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, that was wild. 72 00:04:59,200 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 4: Man. 73 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 2: You know what was weird to me about some of 74 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 2: the stuff that had with Michael Jackson. I mean, there's 75 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 2: so much with Michael Jackson that his strained, perverse, odd 76 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 2: and ultimately mysterious. But one of the things I would 77 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 2: say is that I remember, toward the end of his 78 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 2: run in this world, he was struggling with debt. I thought, 79 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,359 Speaker 2: didn't he run up a lot of debt? 80 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 3: I think he was worth just five hundred million at 81 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 3: one point. 82 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 2: I mean, his intellectual property was of immense value, and 83 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 2: he owned the Beatles catalog too. Didn't they sell him that? 84 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 4: Yeah? 85 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, after he recorded with Paul McCartney, and then he 86 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 5: pulled like a bait and switch on Paul McCartney when 87 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 5: the catalog went up for sale. I think Paul McCartney 88 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 5: mentioned it to him, and so Michael swooped in and 89 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 5: bought the music. 90 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 4: Isn't that wild crazy. 91 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 2: At the time of his death, indeed, he was over 92 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 2: five hundred million dollars in debt. That was because of 93 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 2: his spending also legal battles high interest loans. So the 94 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 2: executors restructured that loan and most of that was paid off. 95 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 2: But he was five hundred million dollars in debt when 96 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 2: he died. So when you look at his pot of 97 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 2: gold of two billion dollars, it may not actually be 98 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 2: two billion dollars. But either way, this court case has 99 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 2: pulled back the curtain on what's going on with it. 100 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 2: And Paris Jackson gets sixty five million from her father's estate. 101 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:49,239 Speaker 4: That's the latest. 102 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 5: Well, it's because Sony Music purchased his catalog and it 103 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 5: was valued at one point two billion. 104 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 2: I see, So that just immediately took care of all 105 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 2: the debtors about all the day, and he turned into 106 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 2: a net. 107 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 3: Positive after his passing. 108 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 2: After his passing, I see interesting. I've got to admit, 109 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 2: Nicky knows her entertainment. 110 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 3: I used to be an entertainment editor and reporter. 111 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 4: I see, I see well, I mean it shows it 112 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 4: really does. 113 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 3: Thank you very much. 114 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 2: This just handed to me As the government continues in 115 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 2: its thirteenth day of shutdown, Marjorie Taylor Green is breaking 116 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 2: from most of her Republican colleagues on the issue at 117 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 2: the center of the standoff, which is healthcare. She is 118 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 2: siding with Democrats to preserve the Affordable Care Act subsidies, 119 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 2: and that is drawing attention inside and outside her district. 120 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 2: She's saying, I'm getting phone calls. This is a quote 121 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 2: from people that are saying, if the ACA tax credits expire, 122 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 2: that's of course, you know, Affordable Care Act Obamacare. If 123 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 2: they expire, they aren't going to be able to have 124 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 2: health insurance. They're going to have to drop it. She 125 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 2: understands what she can do and can't do, said one 126 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 2: of her Republican Party colleagues. About seventy four thousand people 127 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 2: in her district receive coverage through the Affordable Care Act, 128 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 2: and nearly all of them get tax credits to help 129 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 2: lower their monthly premiums. Again, a Republican colleague said, I 130 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 2: think she's looking out for her constituents. We just can't 131 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 2: let premiums double for those who are using it. She 132 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 2: won reelection now. Marjorie Teddy Greens one of those people 133 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 2: where you think gosh, she's like, you know, problematic figure. 134 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 2: She's kind of a lightning rod for controversy. She won 135 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 2: reelection with sixty five percent of the vote, and she 136 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 2: did it with the UH. Well, her general plank is 137 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 2: I support Donald Trump no matter what. And these subsidies 138 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 2: directly affect her voters, so she now is seeing how 139 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 2: they're going to be affected by this government shutdown and 140 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 2: the lack of the supplement for ACA. So in any case, 141 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 2: she is certainly one of the higher profile mouthpieces in 142 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 2: all and she may actually be a sign that on 143 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 2: the Republican side things are beginning to crack in terms 144 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 2: of solidarity. But the government shutdown enters its third week. 145 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 2: Mark Thompson sitting it on Tuesday night.

Good stuff, all right. 163 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 2: So you know, you're aware of the controversy involving Katie Porter, 164 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 2: and it's significant and super relevant because she was a 165 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 2: front runner in the gubernatorial race and she's a real populist. 166 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 2: You know, Katie Porter is she did the white erase 167 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 2: board thing. People really feel as though Katie Porter is 168 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,439 Speaker 2: an advocate for them, especially when it comes to representing 169 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 2: the people against special interests. She's you know, she feels 170 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 2: like she speaks truth to power, and that's something that's 171 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 2: quite unusual. And also in Sacramento, a place which is 172 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 2: controlled by Democrats, and you could say, you know, sort 173 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 2: of the corporatetocracy of politics is seated in Sacramento. She 174 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 2: doesn't feel like a corporate tool. So for all of 175 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 2: these reasons and more, she's got a lot of popular support. 176 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 2: So when she has this back and forth with this 177 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 2: reporter from ke cow and she she didn't leave the interview. 178 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 2: She and by the way, I'm not a Katie's Reporter supporter. 179 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 2: I like the fact that she speaks truth to power. 180 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 2: I like the fact that she, you know, talks smack 181 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:21,199 Speaker 2: to a bunch of corporate interests. I like all those things. 182 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,319 Speaker 2: I think it's hard to find those things in the candidate. 183 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 2: You find candidates that talk, that talk, but few that 184 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 2: want walk the walk. But anyway, so when she gets 185 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 2: in this back and forth with this cakew reporter, it's 186 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 2: it's a bad look. And then it opens up this 187 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 2: can of worms about her temper and the fact that 188 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 2: there have been complaints about her temper before. And I 189 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,679 Speaker 2: also feel like, just to be honest, if she were 190 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 2: a guy, we probably might be looking about at this 191 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 2: a different way. Now you can say, well, still a 192 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 2: guy would take some heat for some of these moves, 193 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,319 Speaker 2: you know, throwing potatoes at her axe and this kind 194 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 2: of thing. But now she's speaking out publicly. And by 195 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 2: the way, she didn't get up because, like you, this 196 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 2: interview is over. Like they played that part over and over, 197 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 2: and I thought the interview was over, but then I 198 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,680 Speaker 2: was reading No, she went on for twenty minutes with 199 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 2: that sit down. It continued for twenty minutes, but that 200 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 2: was the last I'd heard of it. And then, of 201 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 2: course I've seen the clips played over and over again, 202 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 2: and now I've seen all the different incidents related in 203 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 2: different news stories. Here she is speaking out publicly for 204 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 2: the first time since that incident. 205 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 4: So this is your. 206 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 7: First time speaking publicly since the now to viral videos. 207 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 7: What do you want people to know about you? And 208 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 7: do you have the temperament to be the next governor 209 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:41,119 Speaker 7: of California. 210 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 8: When I look at those videos, I want people to 211 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 8: know that I understand that I could have handled things better. 212 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 8: I think I'm known as someone who's able to handle 213 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,959 Speaker 8: tough questions, who's willing to answer questions, and I want 214 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 8: people to know that I really value the incredible work 215 00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 8: that my staff can do. I think I can. People 216 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 8: who know me know I can be tough, but I 217 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 8: need to do a better job expressing appreciation for the 218 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 8: amazing work that my team does. 219 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 7: Should California voters feel confident that there aren't any more 220 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,319 Speaker 7: Katie Porter videos out there. 221 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 8: Well, what I know is that I could have done 222 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 8: better in those moments. I'm going to be focused on 223 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 8: earning their votes and earning their trust. That's true in 224 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,079 Speaker 8: every election. I've only ever had tough elections. So I'm 225 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 8: absolutely aware that I'm going to have to continue to 226 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,319 Speaker 8: show them. I'm going to have to answer every question. 227 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 8: I'm glad I got to continue that interview and finish 228 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 8: that interview and answer all her questions. And that's what 229 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 8: I'm going to continue to do to show Californians not 230 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,839 Speaker 8: only that I understand their problems, but that I have 231 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 8: the will and the strength of character to actually get 232 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 8: something done about them. 233 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 7: But not just the CBS interview, the interview with the staffer. 234 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 7: Can voters be confident that there won't be another one 235 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 7: of those videos that's going to come to light? 236 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,439 Speaker 8: What I do know is that I could have done 237 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 8: better in that situation. 238 00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: That's not a no. 239 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 7: So is there potentially another video that we're gonna. 240 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 8: See, Nikki. I'm gonna be honest with you. I know 241 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 8: that that video and that video was several years ago, 242 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 8: as you know, and I apologize to the offer that's 243 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 8: super important to me, and will continue to try to 244 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 8: hold myself to do better. That's that's what I can promise. 245 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 2: I got to say one thing I think the the 246 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 2: follow up here and is a little bit obnoxious. You know, again, 247 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 2: am I wrong? 248 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 9: Ron Or you're you're you're a news guy, Melani responding 249 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 9: as a journalist, you can't help but notice he seems 250 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 9: to be held to a different standard. I mean, did 251 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 9: she call the journalist the enemy of the American people? 252 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 9: Just before I left for work today, I saw the 253 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 9: President say he wasn't gonna call on ABC fake news. 254 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 9: So I think if you're gonna, if you're gonna call 255 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 9: out Katie Porter, you've got to look at the big picture. 256 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 2: It's a it's a changing face of journalism, it seems, 257 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, look, when you're running for anything, 258 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 2: they're gonna dust off everything they can and find every 259 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 2: bit of opo that they can find on you, and 260 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 2: you're going to see it. And now she's had to 261 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 2: own it. But you know, she's in a tough spot 262 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 2: because you know she's thinking, I imagine, I don't think 263 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 2: there's anything else out there. But if I say there's 264 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 2: nothing else and then they find something else, It's like, 265 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 2: so you knew something else while I was out there, 266 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 2: and yet you told us there was nothing else out there. 267 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 2: It's a little bit of a trick follow up question. 268 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 9: Now, it makes you wish that you were in the 269 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 9: seat of the journalist questioning her, because she's not responding 270 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 9: very well at all, and she's on message, and when 271 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 9: the reporter tried to get her off message, she glitched obviously. 272 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 8: And I apologize to the staffer that's super important to me, 273 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 8: and will continue to try to hold myself to do better. 274 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 8: That's what I can promise, But. 275 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 7: Not that there's not going to be any more videos, 276 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 7: because that's what people are wondering. Are we going to 277 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 7: see something. 278 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 3: Else like that? 279 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 8: I can tell you what I've told you, which is 280 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 8: that I am taking responsibility for this situation, and I'm 281 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 8: also not going to back down from from fighting back 282 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 8: for California, from being tough. I don't think this is 283 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 8: a moment where the same old, same old is going 284 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 8: to cut it. But that doesn't change the fact that 285 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 8: what I did to that stuff her was wrong. I've 286 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 8: acknowledged it to her in that moment, and I'm acknowledging it. 287 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 10: Now. 288 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 7: Have you heard from any other Democrats? Have they reached 289 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 7: out to you? 290 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 4: Yes? 291 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 8: Of course? 292 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 7: Who has reached out to you? 293 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 10: Oh? 294 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 8: I couldn't tell you at the top of my at 295 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 8: the top of my top of my head, because I've. 296 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 2: Gotten, because I'm so filled with anger over this entire thing. 297 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 4: I get. I can't think clearly is. 298 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 8: The problem of text messages in the last as you 299 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 8: might expect? 300 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 7: What did they say? Words of support? Can you give 301 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 7: me anything specific? 302 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 4: You know? 303 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 8: Well, I mean, as you've seen. 304 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 2: A couple of them called you a couple of names 305 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 2: just now you mentioned, and I just I mean, if 306 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 2: you're forcing me that I can show you the time. 307 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 8: I mean, as you've seen publicly, many of the groups 308 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 8: that support me, in groups like the Teamsters, have said 309 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 8: that they're proud to stand with me because they know 310 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 8: I'm going to fight for California, that they know I'm 311 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 8: going to be tough, that they think what's needed is 312 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 8: a level of strength of character in this moment. So 313 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 8: I think there's been a lot of those comments. I 314 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 8: think everybody understands, and I've certainly acknowledged to everyone who's 315 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 8: reached out to me as I am now that I 316 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 8: could have done better. But I'm in this race to 317 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,479 Speaker 8: make sure that we have a governor who's not going 318 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 8: to sit back, who's not going to sit quietly because 319 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 8: we are in a moment where we have to tackle 320 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 8: our affordability crisis and we have to withstand the harms 321 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 8: that Trump is throwing at California. 322 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, there you going. 323 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 6: Why they got to ask the question like they found 324 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 6: an OnlyFans video of it? 325 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:29,719 Speaker 4: No, I agree. 326 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 2: It's like I almost was thinking I would have said, yeah, 327 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 2: I really am sorry and apologize to that staffer. That 328 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,439 Speaker 2: toughness that I expressed there, that's the toughness that you 329 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 2: need out of your governor when it comes to dealing 330 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 2: with corporate interests that have taken Sacramento. This state is 331 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,919 Speaker 2: swimming upstream against a strong current of corporate interests, and 332 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 2: instead of selling out, I hold them to account. 333 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 4: And yeah, I have. 334 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 2: Worked on my attitude, dude, and my general disposition toward 335 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,360 Speaker 2: staff and those who I need to work with more closely. 336 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 2: But my toughness can also be a good thing.

It's just that she blew up 341 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 2: at a staffer, and you know, again, if she were 342 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,239 Speaker 2: a guy, she probably would have gotten away with it. 343 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,399 Speaker 3: Yeah, she should lean into the fact that she's a 344 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:29,919 Speaker 3: tough bitch.

Probably contrition like is what she's doing. Like, 349 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I realize it. That's probably not a bad 350 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 2: way to go.

Jeez. 401 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 2: President Trump is angry. He's coming off that big uh 402 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 2: caes fire deal and he's still irritated. Yeah, he doesn't 403 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,719 Speaker 2: like even though a big cover of Time magazine. This 404 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 2: is a legit cover he's got, and it's I think 405 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 2: of plaudits, you know, it's like compliments, and it's very 406 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 2: favorable coverage. The titles are His Triumph, The Leader, Israel Needed, 407 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,679 Speaker 2: and how Gaza Heals? Those are the three titles. But 408 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 2: the thing that he's annoyed about is the photo. The 409 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 2: photo of Trump is taken from low down with the 410 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 2: sun creating a halo effect where his hair kind of 411 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 2: blurs into the light. I guess you could look at 412 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 2: it and see he sort of looks like balding or 413 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 2: isn't that sort of the way in which you could 414 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 2: interpret this, And I think it's the way he interprets it. 415 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 9: It's not a flattering photo. But to be fair, nobody 416 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 9: looks good from that angle. 417 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 2: No. And this is a tip to all of us 418 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:20,439 Speaker 2: and to all of you who give your camera phone 419 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 2: to someone to take a pick. 420 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 4: What do you need to tell them? 421 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 2: And constantly be reminded hold it up higher, higher. Everybody 422 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 2: wants to go low with the shot. Now, the lower 423 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 2: the camera, the more chins. 424 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, everything looks worse from underneath. 425 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, he looks like a turkey. 426 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 2: So he also agrees with you that he doesn't look good. 427 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 2: And he is the president of the United States. He 428 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 2: has a large megaphone which he dusts off and gets 429 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 2: going on that social platform that he runs and owns 430 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 2: a huge piece of truth social And so as he 431 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:05,879 Speaker 2: flew back to the US from Egypt, he took time 432 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 2: out to criticize the picture. Here is what the President 433 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 2: of the United States said. 434 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 4: Quote. 435 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:19,119 Speaker 2: Time magazine wrote a relatively good story about me, but 436 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 2: the picture. 437 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 4: May be the worst of all time. 438 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 2: They disappeared my hair and then had something floating on 439 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 2: top of my head. That looked like a floating crown, 440 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:37,159 Speaker 2: but an extremely small one. Really weird. I never liked 441 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,439 Speaker 2: taking pictures from underneath angles, but this is a super 442 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 2: bad picture and it deserves to be called out. What 443 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 2: are they doing? 444 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 3: And why he's such a bitch? 445 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 4: Well? 446 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 3: Please in a good way, Yessney. 447 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 4: There you go. 448 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 5: He makes me laugh. I'm a non voter. Yeah, it 449 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 5: makes me laugh. 450 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,239 Speaker 9: Well, I mean he has a point, but all so, 451 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 9: maybe could have taken the high road on this one thing. 452 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you know, the more you're talking about it, 453 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 2: the more you're you know, kicking and screaming about it, 454 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 2: the more people are going, oh, I want to see 455 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 2: that picture. 456 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:10,199 Speaker 7: Now. 457 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 4: What do they call that?

Yeah. 459 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 6: Of all the things he's complained about, though, this is 460 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 6: the one that I think is most legitimate. 461 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 4: You might be right, come on, anybody knows you don't 462 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:24,199 Speaker 4: take a picture for. 463 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,639 Speaker 2: We all agree with you, mister Trump, mister president.

The 510 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 2: stuff was upwards of two hundred and thirty dollars a share, 511 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 2: and again this is because there was a drive to 512 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 2: plant based meat alternatives. A lot of health conscious consumers 513 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 2: investors wanted to be part of it. 514 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 4: But that changed and. 515 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 2: This week, yesterday the shares fell below a dollar for 516 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 2: the first time, and the future ain't bright. They had 517 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:36,719 Speaker 2: a low of eighty five cents yesterday eighty eight cents today. 518 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 2: So what's happened? I mean, the world has fallen out 519 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 2: of love. 520 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 4: With this. 521 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:50,360 Speaker 2: Alternative meat and I think that there are more competitors 522 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 2: in that space. 523 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,120 Speaker 4: And apparently they did a debt swap. 524 00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 2: They tried to save the company, and that's where they 525 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 2: are now, just hanging on tight. But for me and 526 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,719 Speaker 2: for those who were watching this space, it's incredible they 527 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:14,399 Speaker 2: were listen, they were a ten billion dollar company. This 528 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,919 Speaker 2: isn't just something that you know, is of interest to 529 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,160 Speaker 2: those who had plant based diets are looking to change 530 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:25,119 Speaker 2: their diets. This was a real relevant company from the 531 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 2: standpoint of its valuation on Wall Street, and they had 532 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 2: celebrity endorsements. They had a partnership with Carls Junior, and 533 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 2: they were the first into the space in a big way. 534 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 4: But they never turned an annual profit. 535 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 2: Imagine that valuation I described ten billion dollars and never 536 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 2: turning a profit. So they've had revenue declining at at 537 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 2: eight percent a year for the past couple of years. 538 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 2: At most recent quarter revenue fell nearly twenty percent, and 539 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 2: you just it's over. 540 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 4: You know, it's really over. 541 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 5: Did you ever get Linda McCartney's brand over here, Paul 542 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 5: McCartney's deceased wife. No, she did Linda McCartney foods because 543 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 5: she was a vegetarian or vegan, and it's huge for 544 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 5: years in the UK. And you're much better than Impossible 545 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 5: and beyond I'll bet, I'll bet, and I'm a vegetarian 546 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 5: and I don't eat beyond meat or Impossible. I think 547 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 5: it's gross and overprocessed, and that's probably why it's fallen 548 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 5: out of favor and flavor. 549 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know something, I think you're on to what 550 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 2: is talked about increasingly, especially people that are health conscious, 551 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 2: that the processed nature of these plant based meat substitutes 552 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 2: is a real concern. 553 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not a good trade off. 554 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 5: It might be non animal based, but it's full of 555 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 5: just stuff that you don't want in your system. 556 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 3: It's not that healthy. 557 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 4: Yeah. 558 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 2: I mean, it's still maybe a net winner if you're 559 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 2: comparing any meat or not, but that's up to whatever. 560 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 2: But I would say that the idea that you're eating 561 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 2: the processed food is definitely a bad one. But the 562 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 2: Linda McCartney line, they didn't know about. She does this 563 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 2: Linda McCartney Foods, and they have a lot of vegetarian 564 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 2: and vegan foods like burgers, sausages, pies. 565 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 4: I'm just seeing it here. Yeah, And. 566 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 2: They do have these, you know, sausages and sausage rolls, 567 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 2: and there are a lot of them out there. And 568 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 2: I got to tell you something, this stuff tastes great. 569 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 2: I get it, it's processed. But you know when you're 570 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 2: at Dodger Stadium and you're eating a Dodger dog and going, well, 571 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 2: you know this is you know, it's in a hot dog. 572 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 2: I don't need to tell you, but you're not thinking 573 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 2: about it. You're thinking it's really great. I like all 574 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,959 Speaker 2: these spices and the way the other stuff that they 575 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 2: put in besides the you know, the stuff that I 576 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 2: don't want to mention. 577 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 3: Sausages are just made of lips and buttholes and. 578 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 4: All right, that's what I didn't want to mention. 579 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 3: I didn't say yeah, but I mean. 580 00:30:55,520 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 4: Okay, I try. I try. Few kids and still you 581 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 4: go to. 582 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 3: It kind of help myself, my god. 583 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,400 Speaker 2: Anyway, the point is you're not thinking about that stuff 584 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:14,959 Speaker 2: when you're chewing on the Dodger dog. And similarly, when 585 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 2: you're eating some of the plant based substitutes, you're not 586 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 2: thinking about the fact that the process. You're thinking about 587 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 2: the fact that they're great. The plant based sausages. Oh 588 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 2: they are great. They are just great. Now, there's none 589 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,440 Speaker 2: of that stuff that you were just talking about, but 590 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 2: it is processed stuff, so there's a lot of salt, 591 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 2: a lot of other stuff that are added to kind 592 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 2: of give it that, you know, to round out the feel. 593 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 2: But all right, I thought we were going to have 594 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 2: one more TV theme and you just ended up with 595 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 2: the Nori thing. 596 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 4: But no, that was a theme song to uh oh. 597 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, Stranger Things. You're right, but I can. 598 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 6: I will do this because NICKI was asking so kindly.

I think the song charted. 603 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 2: I think they released it as a single. 604 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 5: It's not my Spotify love it. 605 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 2: But those dreams all right, crank it up, We'll go 606 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 2: out with it.
