1
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:08,560
Speaker 1: And now it's time for Joe Escalante Live from Hollywood.

2
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: If by Hollywood you mean we'rebie across the street promo

3
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: meaners and it's at that serves beer.

4
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 2: Joe Escalanta Live from Hollywood, that is true. This is

5
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 2: two hours of the business, end of show business, and

6
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 2: we do it every Sunday from five to seven right

7
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 2: here on k EIB eleven fifty on your AM dial.

8
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 2: I'm joined with Sam all Right, producer, How are you doing? Sam?

9
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 3: Good good? How are you doing?

10
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 2: Busy week? Had the Vandals Christmas show last night?

11
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 3: How was it?

12
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 2: Two of them? Four of them? We had four of them?

13
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 3: Wow? You know my kid had four of his Christmas

14
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 3: shows at school, So I get Yeah, I get the feeling.

15
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 3: Y'all are on the same wavelength.

16
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely similar. This is just the next step to

17
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 2: the Christmas pageant at school and you get a similar

18
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 2: Christmas experience. There's a few cuss words, but I think

19
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 2: it's funny that after thirty years, the guys in my

20
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 2: band that wrote the songs with the cuss words are

21
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: now a little bit embarrassed of them. Yeah, they're just like,

22
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 2: why do we do that? And now they're like, you know,

23
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: making excuses cutting some of the songs, cutting the nasty parts,

24
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: because we have a whole Christmas album been going on

25
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 2: for thirty years. Anyway. It was sold out last night

26
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 2: at the House of Blues and Anaheim. If you missed it,

27
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 2: buy your tickets earlier. I try to tell people buy

28
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 2: your tickets early, you know. So let's get down to business, Sam,

29
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 2: what are we doing this week? We're doing same thing

30
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 2: with movies and TV and that kind of stuff. But

31
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 2: of course we've got the big stories, Netflix purchase of

32
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 2: where are they buying, Warner Brothers.

33
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 3: The flop of Paramount, Paramount trying to get in on it, yeah,

34
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 3: which is still it's still real.

35
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: They're still trying. They still making arguments that they have

36
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 2: the better option. And we got some pretty good box

37
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 2: office numbers, some celebrity lawsuits. We've got a band that

38
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 2: finally a mega band that finally called it quits. And

39
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 2: I got some weird stuff, some weird lawsuits that have

40
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 2: been filed this week that other people don't know about.

41
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 2: This are things that just fly below the radar. The

42
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 2: basic deal with this show is it's started out as

43
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 2: legal advice for showbiz people, and as we move to

44
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 2: Sunday nights. Just nobody's gonna call a radio station on

45
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 2: Sunday night. So we're doing these stories but in the

46
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 2: box office because we like the movies. Did you see

47
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 2: any movies this week?

48
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 3: No? I actually stayed in and did the streaming and

49
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 3: netflixing and watching YouTube. I was like me, I was,

50
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 3: I am horrible for the Hollywood industry and I actually

51
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 3: do need to start doing better by Hollywood.

52
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I mean it's a mixed bag. It's

53
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 2: like these TVs are so cheap that you buy at costco.

54
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, ninety five inches wide and they cost five

55
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 2: hundred dollars and then got your surround sound for another

56
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 2: five hundred dollars. Pretty soon you got a movie theater

57
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 2: in your house. But it's a lie. I'm trying to

58
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 2: tell you. It's a lie. You got to go out

59
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 2: to the movies. But you know that. So the big

60
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 2: news is still Netflix is moving forward with their acquisition

61
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 2: of Warner Brothers Film and TV Studios, not not the

62
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 2: the channels or whatever like that. So this is a deal.

63
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 2: It's worth about eighty two billion. That doesn't really mean

64
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 2: a lot to people. I mean, what does that really mean?

65
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 2: Eighty two billion.

66
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 3: That's a lot.

67
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 2: And when you get into when you get into the weeds,

68
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 2: you're like, well, this offers eighty two billion, but Paramount

69
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 2: wants to buy and they're going to offer ten more billions.

70
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 2: So the shareholders have to look at that and go whoa, whoa, woah,

71
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 2: which one's better for us? Okay, So under the agreement

72
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 2: with Warner Brothers, Discovery would spin off its cable networks

73
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 2: into a separate company before the Netflix purchase closes. Now

74
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 2: that's called spin Co. You might have heard this word

75
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 2: floated around. Okay, spin Co is the cable networks, like

76
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 2: and you know, CNN, stuff like that. But this deals

77
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 2: far from over because Paramount, as we know, launched a

78
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 2: rival hostile takeover bid valued at one hundred and eight

79
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 2: point four billion, because they're buying spin Co also, and

80
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 2: they're offering a higher all cash price per share. And

81
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 2: when I heard the head of it's called Redbird Capital,

82
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 2: I think I heard him explain it why his deal

83
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 2: at Paramount from you know, the Paramount deal is better

84
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 2: for everybody than the Netflix deal. But I think the

85
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 2: only thing that's better is they might have a better

86
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 2: attitude towards movies being played in theaters. But other than that,

87
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 2: it doesn't make a lot of sense for Paramount and

88
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 2: the already got a studio. So like David Ellison, the

89
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 2: guy who bought Paramount, he already makes movies. He's got

90
00:05:54,680 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 2: the Paramount thing. You've got a network, television network CBS,

91
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 2: And does he really need Warner Brothers studio. I mean,

92
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 2: it just doesn't. It's not a great idea. And generally

93
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 2: it's just just try and buy everything, you know. So

94
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 2: if they get away with it, see if they'll get approval.

95
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 2: So but if Netflix, you know, takes all the Warner

96
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 2: Brothers movies and puts them on TV and doesn't put

97
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 2: them in theaters, then I think America suffers. So the

98
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 2: the Paramount bid is a hostile bid. So Warner Brothers

99
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 2: doesn't want it. So you know, it's it's still weird.

100
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 2: It still can happen because they can just they can

101
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 2: just buy all the shares and and get control of

102
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 2: enough shares and uh then the shareholders that they if

103
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 2: they control the share the enough shareholders, they will it

104
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 2: will happen.

105
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 3: People think as far as shares go, that Netflix can

106
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 3: do to block that.

107
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 2: And and have them buy more shares. Yeah, yeah, I guess,

108
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 2: but I think they're confident they're just going to win.

109
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 2: So and then it has to be approved by the government,

110
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 2: of course, because the anti trust laws, which we won't

111
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 2: go over because we go over them far too much

112
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:20,679
Speaker 2: for a normal radio show. Let's go to the box office, Sam, Yeah,

113
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 2: we have time. Let's get too much started. We'll start

114
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:27,119
Speaker 2: it okay, Now in the box office, the big story

115
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 2: this weekend most people know is the domestic debut of

116
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 2: James Cameron's Avatar Fire and Ash starring Sam Worthington and

117
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 2: his dog Spot, which opened with an estimated eighty eight

118
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 2: million in US and Canadian ticket sales. So I'm thrown

119
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 2: in the Canadian sales now because there's three or four

120
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 2: dollars in that. So it's number one at the box office,

121
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 2: opening to about three hundred and forty five million worldwide.

122
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 2: That's a lot for that, and it only costs two

123
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty million to make this movie, so this

124
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 2: is a profit machine. Second place is the Biblical animated

125
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 2: feature David, with about twenty two million in box office.

126
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 2: But I think they spent like fifty million to make

127
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 2: this a Christian you know, in these Christian movies that

128
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 2: you know, keep doing better and better and better. But

129
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 2: to make a fifty million dollar animated film, that's wow,

130
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 2: that's a gamble. But they're number two at the box

131
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 2: office twenty two million, so they might they might make it.

132
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 2: And then they got a movie called The Housemaid nineteen million,

133
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 2: SpongeBob movie coming in at sixteen million, and the long

134
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 2: running family hit your Favorite Zuotopia two continuing to draw audiences,

135
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 2: and I think that's the next one I'm going to see.

136
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 2: If all the movies that are out there, Sam, I

137
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 2: got a few choices, there's no real It seems like

138
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 2: a lot of mid level movies. Would you go see

139
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 2: SpongeBob not SpongeBob? Would you go see SpongeBob or Zoutopia two?

140
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 3: If you were me, oh, SpongeBob ten times out of ten.

141
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 3: I'm actually surprised SpongeBob wasn't number one this week.

142
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 2: Now, have you seen it?

143
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 3: No? And I'm going to you because I have kids.

144
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, but what if you don't have kids? If

145
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 2: you're me and you don't have kids and it may

146
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 2: or may not even be legal for you to be

147
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 2: around kids.

148
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 3: I'd still go see it. That's I'm much more of

149
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 3: a fan of SpongeBob and that universe than Zutopia. And

150
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 3: I like Zutopia.

151
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, I don't know. Sponge is Utopia is pretty

152
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 2: successful though? Yeah? No, I why is it SpongeBob successful?

153
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 3: I saw the Firstbob sucks. Yeah, no, I saw the

154
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 3: first Utopia. It was a good movie. I enjoyed it.

155
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 3: I just don't know how excited I am for the sequel.

156
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 3: But anytime there's a SpongeBob anything, I'm going to get excited.

157
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 3: So it's just because I'm silly.

158
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 2: All Right, We'll take a break and I'll think about

159
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 2: that because I have something thinking to do. Joe's go on, Hey,

160
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 2: live from Hollywood. All right, Joe, let's go on to say,

161
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 2: live from Hollywood? Why Hollywood? You mean Burbank. I got

162
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 2: some Hollywood news here for you, Sam. Okay, well, it's

163
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 2: not really Hollywood. You know what in my docket that

164
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 2: I make for the show. There's so little news in radio,

165
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 2: even though radio we cover it's entertainment industry. We cover

166
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 2: the radio here. I don't even have a radio section.

167
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 2: I noticed today. I've been doing this for like what

168
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 2: eighteen years? I don't have a radio section in my docket.

169
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 3: Wow. Yeah, I have very little news ever really occurs

170
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 3: in radio. Most of it usually just goes straight to

171
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 3: TV or the internet.

172
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's really it's kind of sad that there's no

173
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 2: radio news. But I have some radio news right now.

174
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 2: It is Howard Stern. Howard Stern has signed a new

175
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 2: deal to stay with Sirius XM. Can you believe this

176
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 2: am through twenty twenty eight? Really a three year deal? Yeah, okay,

177
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 2: ending months of speculation that he'd retire. The financial terms

178
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 2: were not disclosed because the new terms reportedly involve Howard

179
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 2: Stern actually paying serious to broadcast his show and not

180
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 2: the other way around anymore. Yes, and he gets no

181
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 2: more lunch breaks and he has to pay for his

182
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 2: own parking.

183
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 3: So he has to pay to have his show on

184
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 3: there and not the other way around. As he's like

185
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 3: not getting spot does he have to go fill her

186
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 3: sponsors himself?

187
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 2: Now he has to physically write a check to each

188
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 2: person forced to listen to his Show's that's it's different

189
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 2: than it used to be. I mean, it's cultural impact.

190
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 2: You have to admit it's not what it once was.

191
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 3: Oh, absolutely, yeah, his cultural impact started fading the second

192
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 3: he went to the serious.

193
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 2: Yes, as soon as he moved to satellite radio, his

194
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 2: audience shrink compared to his peak terrestrial radio days like

195
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 2: the ones we're enjoying right now, Sam, Yeah, and longtime

196
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 2: fans argue that the shock jock, his edge that wants

197
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 2: to find him has been replaced by a heavy focus on,

198
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 2: like you know, celebrity therapy sessions and progressive, often woke

199
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 2: political commentary. So while Stern remains a big business asset

200
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 2: for Sirius XM, Sirius XM actually has to pay people

201
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 2: to listen to it as well. So that's what's going

202
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 2: on over there. Only a portion of that is true.

203
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 2: But hey, we're having some fun. No, I mean, he

204
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:00,719
Speaker 2: made a deal, but I won't say what the deal

205
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 2: is because usually they're saying, like, Howard Stern made a

206
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 2: big deal. It's andy, and they talk about how big

207
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 2: it is.

208
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's now you just hear about how much he

209
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 3: or you don't hear about how much he's going to

210
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 3: have to spend to keep that boat afloat.

211
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I wonder what it is.

212
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 3: Well, I mean it's it's obvious. Once he you know,

213
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 3: you go away from terrestrial radio, you take the seat

214
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 3: belt off, and it makes it so everybody was listening

215
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 3: because they wanted to hear the crazy stuff that he

216
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 3: would say, or he would not say but would infer.

217
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 3: And then once you got to satellite radio, it made

218
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 3: it very easy just to say whatever, and everybody got

219
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 3: numb to it. Plus a lot of you know, like

220
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 3: the idea of him going well, keuesed to have like

221
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 3: one of his big things. You remember his movie Back

222
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 3: in the Day. One of the things he mentioned in

223
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 3: the movie about his life Private Parts was that lesbians

224
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 3: lead to ratings. If you talk about lesbians on the radio,

225
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 3: people are gonna think you're woke.

226
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 2: Why lesbians lead to ratings? Like yeah, I mean like

227
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 2: like in a perverted way, like, hey, these two chicks

228
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 2: are gonna make out with each other, that kind of stuff.

229
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, the stuff that he would talk about anytime

230
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 3: you mentioned yeah. But now now now if he if

231
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 3: you mentioned that same content, it's considered woke.

232
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 2: It's considered woke to talk about lesbian pornography. Yeah, I

233
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 2: don't I don't understand. Yeah, I don't understand. I don't

234
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 2: understand that at all. I think it's just simple enough, as

235
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 2: he went, everyone thinks they're gonna be able to take

236
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 2: their audience to some new platform and everyone's gonna pay

237
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 2: to see it, and they're not or pay to listen

238
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 2: to it, and they're not. If you have like if

239
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 2: you take espn uh and and you move it over

240
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 2: to something where it's behind some giant paywall, people are

241
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 2: not gonna they're not gonna buy it. Just they're they're

242
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 2: over that if you take Howard Sterney put on serious.

243
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 2: But I do think there is something to your theory

244
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 2: about the He used to have it like the the

245
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 2: used to wonder if he was going to get in

246
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 2: trouble and be and be kicked off the air for

247
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 2: these racy things he said. And now he can say

248
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 2: whatever he wants, so who cares? And now he's talking

249
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 2: about telling people to get vaccines and stuff like that.

250
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 2: It's like, this is the edgy guy saying if you

251
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 2: don't have a vaccine, you're a bad person, you know,

252
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 2: And I don't know who wants to hear that and

253
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 2: the people that And it's also all his his jokes

254
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 2: used to be just boobs and peepee pooh pooh. Yeah,

255
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 2: And and I I gotta say I never liked it,

256
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 2: so I'm glad he went into a satellite prison.

257
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 3: It used to be edgy, and now it's just it's

258
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 3: not edgy.

259
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 2: But was it? Is it edgy to go on the

260
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 2: radio and say I'm going to talk about poop and

261
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 2: I'm going to talk about boobs and sex, and I'm

262
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 2: going to dress up in blackface and talk like a

263
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 2: black person. I mean, is that edgy? It was like

264
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 2: it was juvenile the whole entire time.

265
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, are absolutely juvenile.

266
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 2: Yes, it made money, but it was a It was

267
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 2: an abomination to me as far as clever entertainment goes.

268
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 2: It was just, hey, let's get this person on the

269
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 2: show and ask them if they ever had sex, you know,

270
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 2: or what you know, questions about poop and sex, and

271
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 2: and bring in these the whack pack and have them

272
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 2: talk about poop and sex never ever, never. All my

273
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 2: friends loved it, But this is just a way for

274
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 2: me to tell you that I'm better than my friends. Sam,

275
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 2: That's all it. Anyway, I don't feel bad another person.

276
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 2: I don't. I used to feel bad for him, but

277
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 2: now maybe I don't so much. Have you watched the

278
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 2: new documentary on Apple TV called Corey Feldman versus the World.

279
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 3: No, I have not, but I'm aware. I'm aware of

280
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 3: him and his trials and tribulations.

281
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well he of course he was a child star,

282
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 2: and then he got very controversial talking about you know,

283
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,719
Speaker 2: molestation in the industry. And then he starts putting out

284
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 2: these videos that are insane with him performing places, and

285
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,719
Speaker 2: it's become a joke, but in a fun way, like

286
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 2: you're rooting for him, like just go for it, do

287
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,959
Speaker 2: your Michael Jackson dance, have your terrible songs and terrible

288
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 2: backup singers and play somewhere where everyone's laughing at you. Okay,

289
00:17:55,680 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 2: it's kind of fun. And but there's this new documentary.

290
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 2: I mean, you've seen a lot of documentaries and on

291
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 2: this guy and specials, and but now there's like, you know,

292
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 2: if one's on Apple TV. I got to see it.

293
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 2: I'm gonna watch this thing tonight because this guy is

294
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 2: you know, he is fascinating him. I did feel sorry

295
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 2: for him. I ran into a few times, once at

296
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 2: Nam and once once I was in my office at

297
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 2: Kung Fu Records in Huntington Beach at Old World. We

298
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 2: started the Old World German october Fest Village which is

299
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 2: a really great place to put your Hollywood office. But

300
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 2: I did anyway, and I'm just sitting there doing some

301
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 2: work behind my desk and Corey Filman just burst through

302
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 2: the door, and I'm like, I'm in Huntington Beach at

303
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 2: Octoberfest Village. What is Corey Filman bursting through my door?

304
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 1: For it?

305
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 2: He goes, do you have a drinking fountain? You know?

306
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:56,959
Speaker 2: I guess a lot of officers do have drinking fountains

307
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 2: or water coolers or something. And I did have a

308
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 2: water cooler, So I'm like, I recognizing him right away.

309
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 2: I go, yeah, got a water cool right over here.

310
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 2: Let me get you a glass of water. And I

311
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 2: gave him a glass of water, and he told me

312
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 2: he was performing at the Octoberfest Banquet facility for I

313
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 2: think it was a meeting of the American Nazi Party

314
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 2: that day. I don't know what it was, but there

315
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 2: was like a Nazi bar in this place, not a

316
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 2: real Nazi bar, but the rat Scaler. A few people

317
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 2: that ever went there, you'll know what I'm talking about.

318
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 2: There was another There's a lot of other weird underground

319
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 2: things that at that place, but I've cleaned it up

320
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 2: it's a nice place. Do you ever go to the

321
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 2: Honeycoon Beach Old the world? You love it? You have

322
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 2: wi Internationals, Wiener dog races and stuff like that. So anyway,

323
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 2: I guess I rambled on so much that we'll have

324
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 2: to talk about Corey Feldman's shocking revelations after this break.

325
00:19:55,280 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 2: Jooascalante Live, Holliday Pay But Hollywood, you mean Bourbon. We're

326
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 2: going to go back to the Corey Feldman story right here.

327
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 2: The Apple TV documentary is now live Corey Feldman Versus

328
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 2: the World, and here's the breaking, shocking revelations that he

329
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 2: made recently in an interview. So the documentary follows the

330
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 2: former child star on a chaotic rock tour while he

331
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 2: revisits dark chapters from his Hollywood past. In the film,

332
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 2: Feldman recounts an uncomfortable encounter with the Light Lost Boys

333
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 2: co star Corey Ham from their nineteen eighty seven shoot,

334
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 2: describing what he perceived as unwanted sexual advances when they

335
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 2: were teens. This parked a major backlash when media outlets

336
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 2: interpreted his comments as saying Ham had molested him. WHOA,

337
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 2: but yeah, I mean this is what he's talked about

338
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 2: this before. Yeah, but guess what, he's walking it back. Basically,

339
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 2: he's saying, well, even physically molesting.

340
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 3: Emotional did it happen? Like what?

341
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:19,479
Speaker 2: Yah? What? Yeah? Yes, his mother or Corey hames mother,

342
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 2: who Corey's you know he's long dead. Uh. Hames's mother

343
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 2: has always denied these accusations, calling them exploitative of her

344
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 2: son's memory, And so he's now saying no, no, no, no.

345
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 2: I mean physically molested me is like emotional molest molestation.

346
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 2: But I don't know. I think Corey Fillman's gotta just

347
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 2: stop talking. Yeah, probably should. He probably should stop making music.

348
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 3: And I feel like it's therapeutic for him. If anything,

349
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 3: I'm sure he understands like the like it's got to

350
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 3: be the same feeling that like Tommy Wes gets when

351
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 3: he knows that everybody's making fun of it, but he's

352
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 3: it's something that he enjoys and he I'm sure he's

353
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 3: got to get something therapeutic out of it, you.

354
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 2: Know what, Sam, I think you're right. I think you're right,

355
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 2: and I think he knows that people are laughing and

356
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 2: I enjoy it, But I just don't enjoy going around

357
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,360
Speaker 2: telling people you're molested when you're only emotionally molested.

358
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know that. That's a little.

359
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 2: Bit different thing. Yeah, because that's you know, subject to interpretation.

360
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 2: If you're emotionally molested, it's I'm not a therapist, but

361
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 2: I might be talking to when he's not disagreeing with me.

362
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 2: So yeah, no, you need uh JM.

363
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 3: Right, I need to investigate the emotional molestation a little further,

364
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 3: a little more in depth, so that I could get

365
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 3: a better idea of exactly why he felt like whatever

366
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 3: emotionally was happening to him was violating boundaries.

367
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 2: Why don't you get into my van next time I

368
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 2: come around, and I will emotionally abuse you and well

369
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 2: and we'll see.

370
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, just bring just brought some Just bring some

Speaker 2: I'm in Oh that's that what you like? Okay? Cool?

373
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 2: In a In a more wholesome story, Sony making a

374
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 2: major move, paying four hundred and fifty seven million dollars

375
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:45,479

Speaker 2: They already yeah, yeah, yeah, they already owned thirty nine

380
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 2: percent of it, but that they want it all. They

381
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 2: want forty nine four one percent from the Canadian media

382
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 2: company wild Brain that I guess owned this like remaining

383
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 2: pieces and while the Schultz family retains the remaining twenty percent,

384
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 2: and you know they're just they've already cashed in a

385
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 2: long time ago. Good for them. The deal combines Sony

386
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 2: Music Entertainment Japan and Sony Pictures Entertainment and reflects more

387
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 2: than just a business play. Sam. I don't know if

388
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 2: you know this, but there is a deep affection for

389
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 2: the Peanuts characters in Japan. Oh yeah, Snoopy. Snoopy in

390
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 2: particular has been like a you know, just a mainstay

391
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 2: there for decades. Trends come and go. The kawai eh

392
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 2: what do you call that culture where everything must be

393
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 2: cute and you know, hello kitty, Yeah, you know that stuff.

394
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 2: Some are gloomy bear stuff comes and goes, but Peanuts

395
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 2: is always there. It's always when I go there. There

396
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 2: was a big giant Peanuts store in how Adjuku and

397
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 2: it's not there anymore, but you still see the Peanuts

398
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:06,199
Speaker 2: stuff in all the stores, and the licensing is just

399
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 2: off the charts. They're on everything. I bought last time

400
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 2: I was there about a super nice green embroidered sweatshirt

401
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 2: that says Joe Cool says no way to everything. Huh, well,

402
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 2: it's it, I go.

403
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 1: You know what?

404
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:30,919
Speaker 2: That that makes sense to me. Joe Cool says no

405
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 2: way to everything anyway, So they're going to own all

406
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 2: of it now and they love it.

407
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 3: That's interesting to me because you know me, I like

408
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 3: video games and just about every ip out there has

409
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 3: video games, especially stuff like Disney and stuff that's as

410
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 3: beloved as Peanuts. Peanuts does not have a video game

411
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 3: footprint out there, really, And when I hear that Sony

412
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 3: is picking up more of the rights to them and

413
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 3: maybe they have more of a deciding say and what

414
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 3: happens with it. Maybe we'll see some actual Charlie Brown

415
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:07,959
Speaker 3: and Snoopy video games that like we haven't seen him

416
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 3: since like Nintendo Era.

417
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 2: Well answer this for me, please, Yes, you're in the

418
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 2: video game world. Can you make a successful video game

419
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 2: with the Penuts characters without having them like getting into

420
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,360
Speaker 2: their cars and running over prostitutes?

421
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 3: Absolutely? Absolutely?

422
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, would be a quest top of a game? Is it?

423
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 2: Is it a first person kill game? What would it be.

424
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 3: A good if you want to have a first person

425
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 3: style game. What a great one would be a flight

426
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 3: simulator game where you fly, you know, like as Snoopy.

427
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 2: The Red Bearon.

428
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, like right there, that would be a great flight simulator,

429
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 3: a game where it could be animated, you could get

430
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 3: it make it a lot of fun to watch and play.

431
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 3: A great idea would be like a role playing game,

432
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 3: one where they go on an adventure and they all

433
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 3: have their own special skills and like ways to solve

434
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:10,719
Speaker 3: problems things like that. Lego, for example, has basically taken

435
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 3: like Lego video games have taken every ip out there

436
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 3: from Harry Potter to Star Wars and have made a

437
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 3: unique games play style that is engaging and it's very

438
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 3: easily identifiable. You could tell exactly that's like that's a

439
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 3: Lego style game, and you have Marvel and all of

440
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 3: these different ips and there. I wouldn't mind seeing Lego

441
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 3: Snoopy as a video game.

442
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 2: I think you're you're given away million dollar ideas, Sam,

443
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 2: million dollar ideas.

444
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 3: I would love to see a little bit.

445
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 2: Of the Red Baron and he's like, you know, take

446
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 2: it back to World War One, Yeah, instead of he's

447
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 2: attacking the Germans and instead of mustard gas. He throws

448
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 2: pig pan at them. I'm just spitballing here.

449
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 3: I like the idea. I like the idea a dirt

450
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 3: bomb with pig pen falling out of the plane and

451
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 3: just exploding in a giant cloud of dust. That would

452
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 3: be great.

453
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, here comes to Nurse Lucy.

454
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 3: Like like I can picture like one of the like

455
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 3: things that flies at you as an arrant football.

456
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, an arrant football bomb.

457
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

458
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 2: Because you know those German those German hand grenades, they

459
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 2: don't look like real hand grenads. I mean, like our

460
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,360
Speaker 2: hand garnads look like little pineapples. Theres are like they

461
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 2: look like billy clubs.

462
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were like sticks.

463
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 2: You ever noticed that?

464
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 3: Yah?

465
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 2: Yeah? Sticks? Yeah. Anyway, enough of this, Why don't we

466
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 2: check the traffic. I'm very concerned for our people in

467
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 2: the LA freeways. And then we come back. We will

Speaker 2: You hear it on eleven fifty on your AM dial

473
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 2: and then ont the serious radio it's not on, but

474
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 2: on the podcast stuff you get an iHeart or you

Speaker 2: get it, or you can listen live on iHeart all

476
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 2: over the world. A lot of people have done. Don't

477
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 2: know that, And now I'm going to say not a

478
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 2: lot of people. Not just not a lot of people.

479
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 2: Nobody knows that because every day someone's asking me if

480
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 2: I still have a radio show. So iHeart owns a

481
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 2: bunch of billboards, don't they or they used to.

482
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 3: It still is Clear Channel. Yeah, you still see them

483
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 3: out there Clear Channel.

484
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. They could make billboards in my show, but they

485
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 2: choose not to because this is an exclusive boutique show. Okay,

486
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 2: this one's kind of interesting to me. Did you know that? Well?

487
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 2: In federal court right now, the Donald Trump Organization has

488
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 2: reported that they have reached settlements with several anonymous online

489
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 2: sellers in its lawsuit targeting unauthorized Trump banded merchandise. These

490
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 2: sellers were accused of selling counterfeit or unlicensed goods using

491
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 2: Trump related trademarks, including MAGA branding Maga branding across online marketplaces.

492
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 2: Fighting doesn't end the case, It just removes a handful

493
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 2: of defendants who have agreed to settle while the broader

494
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 2: lawsuit continues against others. And to the bigger question that

495
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 2: I have and you probably have, MAGA. So MAGA is

496
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 2: not part of the public domain. It's not just a

497
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 2: fair use to use it or a freedom of speech

498
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 2: make America great again. It's actually protected by Donald Trump

499
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 2: himself and his organization. So when I see these stands,

500
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 2: like they have stands all over I live in Orange County,

501
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 2: so they're there. You see them, uh frequently, and they're

502
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 2: selling all kinds of Trump stuff, and you know, they're

503
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 2: just printing it themselves and they're selling it. So at first,

504
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 2: during the campaigns, I'm thinking, well, they're helping the campaign.

505
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 2: Donald Trump should be very happy. But then after the

506
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 2: campaign's done, it's just a brand. It's just a money

507
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 2: making thing that that Donald Trump kind of created. I

508
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 2: think it's it's kind of like making America grade again

509
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 2: was probably political slogans all over the country, you know,

510
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 2: all the time since since the beginning of America. But

511
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 2: he kind of made it famous. And if he trademarked it,

512
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 2: all right, good for him. If they gave him a trademark,

513
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 2: then he can enforce that trademark against people who are

514
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 2: using it to profit. Now, the problem is some of

515
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 2: these people are you know, are fans of Donald Trump

516
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 2: or they're you know, they're they're fighting for the cause,

517
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 2: and then they're getting sued by the guy. So it's

518
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 2: got to be a little awkward. You know, there's a

519
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 2: free there in my town in Seal Beach on Main Street,

520
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 2: there's a brick and mortar Donald Trump store.

521
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 3: Does he got royalties from this.

522
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 2: From that place? I don't know.

523
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 3: I wonder if they're going to get a cease and desist.

524
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 2: Well a lot of people have, but you know what

525
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 2: they are. There's like if you go to you know,

526
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 2: like any of these online T shirt places like t

527
00:32:54,360 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 2: spring or print full or actually princevill is just a manufacturer.

528
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 2: But these if you go, if you go on the

529
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 2: internet and look up Mega Shirt, you're going to see

530
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 2: a bunch of these little stores and it's just people

531
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 2: making them, you know themselves. And and he's got to

532
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 2: run around and stop them all because also the reason

533
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 2: why you don't, you have to stop them because if

534
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 2: you don't enforce this trademark, he will lose it and

535
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 2: then then his opponents could use it.

536
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 3: Now, so you got to protect you what if the

537
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 3: people making the products and distributing them are in Europe

538
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 3: or say the Middle East or another country.

539
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 2: You bomb them' that's the easy part.

540
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 3: But attached to it, yes.

541
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 2: Yes, these the foreign ones you have to join this.

542
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:53,719
Speaker 2: I haven't checked it in a while. I mean, you know,

543
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 2: it's something called the Madrid Protocol where you can register

544
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 2: your trademark in you know, multi regions and then you

545
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 2: enforce it based on this international mark enforcement and then

546
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 2: that's what he can do over there. But make America

547
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 2: great again in France, doesn't you know, No one's going

548
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,280
Speaker 2: to be exploiting it there, So it's mainly for people

549
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 2: who are But if it's a company over there and

550
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 2: they're exploiting it over here, yeah you go after That

551
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 2: happens all the time. That can that can be done.

552
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 2: But very interesting now, things like this. Political slogans aren't automatically,

553
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 2: you know, free for commercial use just because they're a

554
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 2: political slogan in their populular So, but when you start

555
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 2: getting to stylize logos and branded merchandise like a red

556
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 2: hat with a white lettering, that can trigger a trademark enforcement.

557
00:34:55,160 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 2: So we'll see, we'll be following that Okay, I don't

558
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,319
Speaker 2: have a lot of time in this segment, so I'm

559
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 2: going to I want to make sure I get to

560
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 2: the interesting stuff. Jane Addiction has broken up and they

561
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 2: have apologized to each other. For remember when Perry Farrell

562
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 2: fought the other guys in the band, actually the Eric

563
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 2: Avery and a longtime bassist and Stephen Perkins, and they

564
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 2: all fought and then they what happened was this. They

565
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 2: sued him after that and said, you made such a

566
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 2: mess of this band and this tour that we lost

567
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 2: millions of dollars and you're mentally ill, you're retarded, you

568
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 2: know whatever slings and arrows they shot at him. He said, well,

569
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 2: who what who? Whata you think? I lost you a

570
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 2: bunch of money? Well, by saying all that stuff, you

571
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 2: cost me money because now everyone thinks I'm retarding. So

572
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 2: they stewed each other and they I think they settled

573
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 2: and walked away. I mean there's a settlement. There could

574
00:35:56,640 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 2: have been some backdoor payment somewhere, but pretty much, you know,

575
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 2: Perry Ferrell was looking at a lot of defending a

576
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 2: pretty good lawsuit that says he, through his negligence and

577
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 2: immoral actions, cost them a bunch of money and then

578
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,320
Speaker 2: but they blew it by defaming him, is what I'm saying.

579
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 2: So he went back to him, So he defamed me

580
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 2: in this whole thing, and now they were able to

581
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:32,800
Speaker 2: get rid of this lawsuit. Okay, here's another thing I

582
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 2: want to end with. Okay, Nick Reiner, the thirty two

583
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 2: year old son of filmmaker Rob Reiner, his wife Michelle.

584
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:46,320
Speaker 2: Obviously we know that whole story, how they were brutally

585
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 2: murdered and they rested the sun saying he did it.

586
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 2: So he's doing charge on two counts of first degree murder.

587
00:36:55,120 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 2: Can he use the inheritance that he's you know, arguably

588
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 2: bound to receive to pay his legal bills?

589
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 3: It's an interesting question. I don't know.

590
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 2: I don't I wish hope not well, for right now,

591
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:21,280
Speaker 2: he needs let's say the the let's say the the

592
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 2: will or the says or the trust says I leave

593
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 2: ten million dollars to my son Nick, all right, can

594
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 2: he have it? Well, who's going to stop him? If

595
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 2: they don't give it to him, he can hire a

596
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 2: lawyer and say, hey, the will says this, the guy's dead,

597
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 2: give it to me. They're saying, yeah, but you killed him.

598
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 2: I haven't been convicted of anything, and he could drag

599
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 2: on the trial for years. And isn't he entitled to

600
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 2: his money? Well, there's something called the California slayer Statute.

601
00:37:56,840 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 2: A person who feloniously and intentionally kills someone from whom

602
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 2: they would inherit is barred from receiving any part of

603
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 2: that estate. But that's only if he's convicted. Right now,

604
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 2: he's presumed innocent. So it seems like he's got to

605
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 2: delay all this and get his money before they If

606
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 2: he convicted him, he gets no money. And if they

607
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 2: don't give him the money, he could sue them and say,

608
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 2: give me my money. So could he get more? Interesting?

609
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 3: Sam, that's fascinating. That's actually anything is.

610
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: Okay?

611
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 2: Here's the here's the last part. Yeah, when I, when I,

612
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:34,919
Speaker 2: when I, I do a summary of all these legal

613
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 2: cases and then a lot of legal things that I

614
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 2: used to do not have time to read, and now

615
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 2: I have chat GBT to summarize a lot of legal filings.

616
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:47,959
Speaker 2: And when I and when I had these summarized through

617
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 2: chat GBT, I got a thing in the middle of

618
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 2: it saying like the last thing it says is like

619
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 2: how those defense is being financed right now, remains unclear.

620
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 2: Could involve existing trust arrangements at least the court and

621
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 2: tell the carts will otherwise blah blah blah, and then

622
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 2: it just by itself says, I need to stop and

623
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,760
Speaker 2: correct the record. First. This is chat GBT talking because

624
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 2: something important went off the rails earlier. Correction very important.

625
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 2: I'm reading the word for word. There is no real

626
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 2: case in which Nick Reiner has been charged with murdering

627
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 2: his parents and Rob Reiner is alive. The scenario I

628
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 2: previously described was incorrect. I'm glad we caught it here

629
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 2: rather than letting it go on air. Thank you for

630
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 2: flagging this. So let me reset cleanly and give you

631
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 2: some accurate and usable radio information. What's the actual situation.

632
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 2: There are no criminal charges against any child of Rob

633
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 2: Reiner for murdering his parents. There is no pending murder case,

634
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 2: no arrayment, no bail issue, no inheritance dispute tied to

635
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:47,360
Speaker 2: such charges. Any stories suggesting otherwise are false and fictional

636
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 2: and should not be reported.

637
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 3: Wow. Okay, so chat GBT is not that good for research.

638
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 2: I mean, can you believe that?

639
00:39:58,080 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 3: That's ridiculous?

640
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 2: I mean, that's just sitting right in front of me.

641
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 2: I'm paying twenty dollars a month for this thing.

642
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, you should get a refund.

643
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know, I mean, I double check everything,

644
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 2: of course, but wow. Yeah, all right. I want to

645
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 2: wish everybody a merry Christmas if I don't talk to

646
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:24,319
Speaker 2: you about it before then, And I now leave you

647
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 2: with just a taste of the greatest song ever written.

648
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 2: Very Christmas. Y
