And but then I don't 31 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 2: know how this happened, but over time, just like you know, 32 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 2: bigger and bigger acts started playing there, just kind of 33 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 2: for fun, until it just reached a fever pitch a 34 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 2: couple of years ago with Paul McCartney playing there. Wow, yeah, 35 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 2: think about that. 36 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 4: That's like beyond fever pitch. 37 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's number one that it doesn't get any better. 38 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, so. 39 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 2: We put it on our list of like, yeah, I 40 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 2: just talked to my agent and I said, hey, why 41 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 2: don't we played this Pappy in Herriot's place. It's good 42 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 2: enough for Paul McCartney, it's good enough for the Vandals. 43 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 2: So we do a Christmas show every year. This show 44 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 2: sell out, sold out in minutes. It's only an indoor 45 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 2: small it's like a restaurant. We did our sound check 46 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 2: in front of people eating ribs and then they you know, 47 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 2: they eventually clear them out and they let the ticket 48 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 2: buyers in and it was just, you know, it's like 49 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 2: the Blues Brothers. You know, there's everything except for the fence, 50 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 2: chicken wire fence in front of the band. And the 51 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 2: food is as good as it gets in a barbecue, 52 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 2: you know, joint. It's so good. So anytime you can 53 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 2: get out to Pappy and Harriet's out in Landers, you should. 54 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 2: And if they're having a show, you check their calendar. 55 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 2: You're gonna have a great time. But you better get 56 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 2: your tickets early because it's small and everything, you know, 57 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 2: pretty much sells out early. And we had a great time. 58 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 2: And then we went to Phoenix or Chandler in Arizona 59 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:33,679 Speaker 2: to play a punk rock Christmas festival with MEMXPX, Face 60 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 2: to Face, the Vandals, Authority Zero, some of the bands. 61 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 2: Oh they're oh, man, how about this. There's a band, 62 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 2: a punk band called You're a Thane and they yeah, okay. 63 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 2: So they have a celebrity guitarist named Steve Cavaliero, one 64 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 2: of the most legendary skateboarders in the industry, and they 65 00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 2: the only reason why people, you know, go see this 66 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 2: band because Steve Caballero's in it. Other than that's pretty 67 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 2: you know, generic situation and the only people, the only 68 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 2: reason people book the band is because Steve Caballero's in it. 69 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 2: And then Steve Caballero wrote something sympathetic. I guess I 70 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 2: didn't see it about Charlie Kirk, and so the band 71 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 2: kicked him out. Wow, yeah, so you're a thane. I 72 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 2: don't know. 73 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 3: I heard about a lot of people getting fired for 74 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 3: their comments about Charlie Kirk, but not like that. 75 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, guy just supporting and saying it's not like he 76 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 2: he just it was a mild, you know, sympathetic statement 77 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 2: about because the guy got murdered. And then I don't 78 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 2: know where these guys think they're going in their career 79 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 2: after that. But Steve Cabalirera's a legend. It was really 80 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 2: sad to not see him there at the show. But 81 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 2: in any case, a couple of days in the tour 82 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 2: of US with the guys and the vandals, it's super fun. 83 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 2: Now I'm back and ready to go.

Because the movie 208 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 3: isn't necessarily that great. It's a it's a horror movie 209 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 3: that's targeting young teens. 210 00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 4: Uh, and it's it's. 211 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:03,439 Speaker 3: Interesting, it has you know, nice mild horror moments to it, 212 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 3: but it's in general not that great of a movie. 213 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 3: But it's not targeting me. So for me, I don't care. 214 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 3: I was just happy to see my kid get into it. 215 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 2: So you took your kid to a crappy movie and 216 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 2: you're all excited about it. 217 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, right, Well, No, it was about it was about 218 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 3: how the audience was interacting with the film. It really chanced, 219 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 3: Like you, I think we're starting to see the birth 220 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 3: of new traditions being built into films like you would 221 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 3: see at like Rocky Horror or that you would see 222 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 3: at the room, like you're seeing kids creating film interaction 223 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 3: moments and. 224 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 2: You're they throwing stuff at the screen. What was going on? 225 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 4: Popcorn? 226 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 2: Usually? 227 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 4: I mean, that's usually what happens. 228 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 3: It's not like, you know, with the room where you're 229 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 3: throwing spoons. 230 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 2: Okay, so you recommend. 231 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 4: It, ah, if you have kids. If not, then don't worry. 232 00:13:59,000 --> 00:13:59,680 Speaker 4: It's not yours. 233 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 2: So when I'm like, you know, wondering what's going on? 234 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 2: What's this all about? You know, since it's all confusing, 235 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 2: it's like chuck E cheese horror movie. I don't know 236 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 2: what it is, but I think, well maybe I better 237 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 2: see it. 238 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 4: It's based off of a video game. 239 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 3: A lot of things that are now becoming pop culture, 240 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 3: like phenomena are usually cheesy, independently created video games, and 241 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 3: that's what this was. And the characters connected because the 242 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 3: game had was had some horror moments to it because 243 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 3: it was a scary meant to be a scary game. 244 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 3: But the characters in it that are the scary characters 245 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 3: are animatronics that you would find similar to Chuck E Cheese. 246 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 4: So it made it so that it's you. 247 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 3: Know, like a lot of the you know how like 248 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 3: people are afraid of clowns, a lot of people are 249 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 3: probably have a similar kind of fear of animatronics coming 250 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 3: to life and wreaking havoc. 251 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 4: And that's what this movie is about. 252 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 2: You know that is not real fear or it's something 253 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 2: that people that freaks people out, just like clowns freak 254 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 2: people out. So I get it. And then it directed 255 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 2: by Emma Tammy who directed the original, and she's just 256 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 2: a Blumhouse, you know, horror director that they like at Blumhouse, 257 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 2: and Bumhouse is the only thing I think that Netflix 258 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 2: doesn't own if I'm if I'm correct looking on it, 259 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 2: And then we're going to get to so let's go 260 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 2: because that's cool. You saw it and everything. I saw 261 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 2: a couple of movies but they weren't in the theaters 262 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 2: and briefly go over them before we get to this 263 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 2: monumental deal. Well, in general, the box office, uh did okay? 264 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 2: Zouotopia two? Is? I mean these movies Zootopia two, Thanksgiving 265 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 2: week post Thanksgiving weekend horror and the Oscar stuff is 266 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 2: keeping the box office alive, but there is something, something 267 00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 2: on the horizon that is threatening the box office once 268 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 2: again and again. I will get to that, but I 269 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 2: will tell you what I saw and maybe can recommend 270 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 2: to you on Netflix, which is Selena Elos Dinos. This 271 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 2: is about Selena, my lady. You might know her. It's 272 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 2: just you know, at first you think this is another 273 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 2: documentary on Selena and her tragic death, but this one 274 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 2: is about her life, so much unseen footage of her 275 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 2: family life. You really get to know her, and it's 276 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 2: just more and more sad as you watch it, because 277 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 2: you're just like, what a loss, what a tragic murder? 278 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 2: Senseless and you know, we all know she was killed 279 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 2: by somebody that was like president of her fan club 280 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 2: and then worked at her dress shops. They didn't really 281 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 2: She was mentioned in news stories that they that they 282 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 2: showed clips from, but they didn't talk about her. They 283 00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 2: never showed her face, the murderer that is. And it 284 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 2: seems like it was directed by like you know, family friends, 285 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,199 Speaker 2: executive produced by family members, and they just put all 286 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,199 Speaker 2: their scrap took out their scrap books, put it together, 287 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 2: interviewed the family and you got a good idea of 288 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 2: what it was like back then. Really really fun documentary 289 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,919 Speaker 2: to watch. It's not fancy, doesn't have like, you know, 290 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 2: big bells and whistles, animation or anything like that, but 291 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 2: it's worth watching. The other thing I watched was The 292 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,360 Speaker 2: Stringer Sam. I think you might like this one. It's 293 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,159 Speaker 2: a new documentary that re examines the origins of one 294 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 2: of the most famous photographs of the Vietnam War. Maybe 295 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 2: remember Napalm Girl. 296 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the immediate image that came into my head 297 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,880 Speaker 3: when you mentioned a photo about the Vietnam War. 298 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 2: Well, her name was fon Ti Kim Fuck and she's 299 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,719 Speaker 2: They show her running naked from a napalm attack, and 300 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 2: the film investigates whether this photo was truly taken by 301 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 2: the fretographer Nick Out, as long believed, or by an 302 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:08,400 Speaker 2: uncredited Vietnamese stringer, which is like a freelance photo guy 303 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 2: named Nunntanae whose work may have been reassigned at the 304 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 2: time to this other guy. 305 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 5: Uh. 306 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:24,479 Speaker 2: The documentary includes forensic analysis, archival material, and testimony from 307 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 2: people involved at the time. It's pretty cool, like these guys, 308 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,679 Speaker 2: you know, they're all about a certain age who were 309 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 2: young photographers back then. Vietnam. They're just trying to recall 310 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 2: what happened, and it's just what a what an amazing, 311 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 2: you know time to be a photo journalist really, and 312 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 2: and the and the holy grail was to get to 313 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 2: Vietnam and to you know, be in in the s 314 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 2: h I t as they would call it, and get 315 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 2: these amazing photos. Nick Ut was the guy who was credited. 316 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 2: And it seems like there was like a h irascid 317 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 2: bowl editor at the AP Associated Press headquarters in Psychone, 318 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 2: and he just said when the photo came in and said, 319 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 2: this is it, we're running it. First of all, people 320 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 2: say we can't run a picture of a naked girl. 321 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,120 Speaker 2: And then the guy said, we're running it. This is it. 322 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 2: And the you know, the the journalists are looking to 323 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 2: put an end to the war and they're just looking 324 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 2: for something. This might be it, and maybe it was it. 325 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 2: So and then but then the guy said, yeah, give 326 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:38,360 Speaker 2: nik Ut credit for this, like put Nick Goot's name 327 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 2: on it. But it was unclear that nick really took 328 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 2: it the photo, and I guess for some reason he 329 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 2: wanted to give this guy credit. And then the guy 330 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 2: went on and just collected ward after award after award, 331 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 2: just ceremonies, hob nobbing with dignitaries, and then some guy says, 332 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 2: who was in the room at the time, who hated 333 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 2: that boss? After the boss dies, this guy comes forward 334 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 2: and goes, hey, I have to I have something heavy 335 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 2: on my heart. NICKO didn't take this photo, and we're 336 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 2: not really sure who did, but I know he didn't. 337 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 2: And so the film follows the journey of trying to 338 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,160 Speaker 2: find out who did take the photo. Then they isolate 339 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,360 Speaker 2: the guy and the guys you know, sitting somewhere in 340 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 2: what looks like stantone here in Orange County, and they 341 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 2: find him and they do all their you know, forensic 342 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 2: a lot of forensic laboratory work, and they looking at 343 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,200 Speaker 2: all the photos of that time, because there were cameras everywhere. 344 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,159 Speaker 2: Who was there? Could this guy have been even in 345 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 2: a position to take that photo? And they're like, no, no, 346 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 2: he was over here. You can't take that picture when 347 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 2: he's over here. Picture comes from this angle. He's over 348 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 2: here right right now. You can see pictures that he 349 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 2: did take them away far away, all this stuff, and 350 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 2: you're and for the most part, I'm just going like, 351 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 2: why just let this guy, you know, live out his 352 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 2: life or what. I'm just well, that's going to undo 353 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 2: a lot of stuff. It's really but then they find 354 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 2: the guy and then you feel sorry for that guy 355 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 2: and you're like, oh, I guess he should but how 356 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 2: do you know? But that's why the documentary is so interesting. 357 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 2: Do you believe it's nick oot or Nia? And I 358 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 2: went to have some fun the other night and I 359 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:25,880 Speaker 2: just wanted to ask the waitress, are you Nick out 360 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 2: or fat or Nie? What are you so? Anyways, that's 361 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 2: the stringer on Netflix. Highly recommend it and we'll come back. 362 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 2: It's all about Netflix buying HBO and other things and 363 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 2: what they are not buying. Joe'scalante Live from Hollywood, Joe's 364 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 2: Goalante Live from Hollywood. We are bound and Okay, Netflix, 365 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 2: this is crazy. We we knew that Warner Brothers or 366 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 2: Warner Discovery. Warner Discovery was putting the Oneted wanted us 367 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 2: get out of the Warner Brothers business that they bought 368 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 2: and they were selling it. They have David Zaslav who's 369 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 2: ahead of Discovery, and then he became ahead of all 370 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,120 Speaker 2: of it. It didn't go that well. I think he's 371 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:21,399 Speaker 2: a he's a very good executive, but he it didn't. 372 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 2: I don't know what they thought I was going to 373 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,159 Speaker 2: do with it, whatever it was. It you know, they 374 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 2: thought like combining this giant collection of cable channels uh 375 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 2: with HBO and Warner Brothers would just a weird thing. 376 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:43,160 Speaker 2: It didn't really, you know, they got naming HBO uh uh, 377 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 2: just calling it Max and changing it back to HBO Max. 378 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 2: It was one of those It was one of those things. 379 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 2: It just didn't really. It never clicked. It never, it 380 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 2: never really hit its stride. And then the stock was 381 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 2: going down and then they go, Okay, maybe we'll sell 382 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 2: this thing, Discovery saying, and then the stock goes up, 383 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 2: all right, and then they start looking for buyers and 384 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 2: Paramount wants to buy it. The Paramount owned CBS, so 385 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,719 Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, you know, Paramount is one 386 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 2: of the only major studios left and they're going to 387 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 2: buy one of our others, and then that's one less studio. 388 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 2: So what we're worried about is consolidation in the industry, 389 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,719 Speaker 2: less competition, and the regulators have to okay these deals. 390 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 2: So other people were interested in buying them, and then 391 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:35,360 Speaker 2: this was you know, everybody always wonders what will Netflix 392 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,439 Speaker 2: buy or what will Apple buy? They all have so 393 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 2: much money they can buy anything. So Netflix says we're 394 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 2: going to buy it, and the deal is accepted. So 395 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 2: that's the big news. The deal has been accepted, and 396 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 2: if regulators sign off, Netflix would control not only it's 397 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:52,199 Speaker 2: stream owned streaming service, but also HBO, HBO Max Plus, 398 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 2: Warner Brothers Television, the Warner Brothers Motion Picture Group, and 399 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 2: DC Studios. Now, what's Warner Brothers Television the WB Well 400 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 2: not just that, but like the like catalog stuff, like 401 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:18,360 Speaker 2: it's huge Friends. Okay, so now Netflix owns Friends. If 402 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 2: this goes through, they own The Big Bang Theory, they 403 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 2: own Two and a Half Men, they owned Full House, 404 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 2: Growing Pains, The Fresh Prints, Er West Wing, Gilmour Girls, Supernatural, 405 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 2: there's your CW jog or not, you know, Smallville, The Flash, 406 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:45,120 Speaker 2: all this stuff, Batman and then all that like Abbott Elementary, 407 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:49,439 Speaker 2: although we associate that with CBS, it's it's produced by 408 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:54,120 Speaker 2: Warner Brothers. It just happens beyond CBS. Oh man, It's 409 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 2: just it's it's it's a huge thing. And then the 410 00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:01,120 Speaker 2: movies they own, you know, it's a major, it's Warner Brothers, 411 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 2: you know, Bugs, Bunny, yeah, but what are they not 412 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 2: going to buy. They're not buying CNN, They're not buying 413 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 2: Discovery Channel, TNT Sports. These are the so CNN, Discovery 414 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 2: Channel and T ANDT Sports will be spun off into 415 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 2: a separate company called Discovery Global. They love that word 416 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:24,639 Speaker 2: over there, Discovery Global. The transaction is structured as a 417 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 2: cash and stock deal. Valued it's twenty seven dollars and 418 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 2: seventy five cents per Warner share, giving the studio side 419 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 2: an enterprise value of over eighty two billion dollars including debt. 420 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 2: And then I'm not going to get into this how 421 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 2: you how you acquire all this debt and what that 422 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 2: means to the shareholders because I'm not that smart. Expected 423 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 2: to close if it closes in the next twelve to 424 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:52,360 Speaker 2: eighteen months after Warners completes the split of their cable operations, 425 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 2: which they were planning to do anyway. But you know, 426 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 2: anti trust regulators are already under pressure from the left 427 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 2: and the right, with critics warning that putting the top 428 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 2: streamer together with HBO will create a goliath that squeezes 429 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 2: out competitors, cuts jobs, and further weakens theatrical exhibition. And 430 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 2: that's what we're interested in here. Of course, Sam is 431 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 2: what happens to the theaters? What does this mean? Netflix 432 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 2: notoriously thinks theaters are stupid. The theater owner group Cinema 433 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:31,400 Speaker 2: United is warning of theater closures, arguing that Netflix's business 434 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 2: model doesn't support robust theatrical runs well. And the Writer's 435 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 2: Guild and the Producers Guild so say this deal must 436 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:43,400 Speaker 2: be blocked or heavily conditioned to protect workers and preserve 437 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 2: theatrical distribution. And there's also a strategic question for consumers. 438 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 2: Netflix hasn't said whether HBO Max will be a separate 439 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,160 Speaker 2: service or if it will be bundled. Now, if it's 440 00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:01,120 Speaker 2: bundled into some mega platform, prices will probably go down 441 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 2: for people that had both. So that's like one good 442 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:05,879 Speaker 2: thing here, like, oh it may. 443 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,119 Speaker 4: Be they may be, But that's well thing. 444 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,199 Speaker 3: If they're the only ones that are in charge of it, 445 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 3: they can charge whatever they want. 446 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,399 Speaker 2: Yes, And this is how answer trust works. I know 447 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 2: I've usually this examined this this example before, but here 448 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,479 Speaker 2: it is. Let's say you come in and you you 449 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 2: you want to break into the milk business, and milk 450 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 2: is a dollar a gallon in Dallas, and so you 451 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 2: come in and you offer I'm going to offer milk 452 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,879 Speaker 2: for a penny a gallon, and then everyone buys your milk. 453 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,919 Speaker 2: And then for a while you're losing a lot of money. 454 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 2: But pretty soon you drive everyone else out of business, 455 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,919 Speaker 2: and after they're all out of business, you raise the 456 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 2: price of milk to five million to five dollars a 457 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 2: gallon or five million dollars a gallon, whatever you want 458 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 2: to do, because you're the only player in town. So 459 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:50,440 Speaker 2: that's where the government, the Sherman Antitrust Act was designed 460 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:55,439 Speaker 2: to prevent and to protect consumers and the economy in general. 461 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 2: So yes, they will, it'll probably go down, but then 462 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,399 Speaker 2: they after a while, they can charge whatever they want, 463 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 2: and uh, it's it's scary. Okay, here's your here's your 464 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:15,679 Speaker 2: big studios. You have Disney, Paramount, Sony, Universal, and Warner Brothers. 465 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 2: Now Warner Brothers goes to Netflix. And that's just some 466 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 2: weird it's not it's a it's just it's a I 467 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:26,879 Speaker 2: don't blame Netflix for wanting to do it. Yeah. Yeah, 468 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:28,440 Speaker 2: and they're only buying. 469 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 3: They're the ones who are benefiting from all of this 470 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,400 Speaker 3: potentially potentially. 471 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 2: Yes, So yeah, so they're they're not buying the traditional 472 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 2: cable network, So the cable channels like CNN, T and T, TBS, 473 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 2: Discovery Channel, HGTV Food Network, and T and T Sports 474 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 2: are going to be split off. As I said, the 475 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 2: spin offs also required so Warner can legally sell the 476 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 2: studio to Netflix without triggering the restrictive tax rules. So 477 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 2: that's one of the issues. One separated Disney Discovery Global 478 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 2: will operate independently with its own leadership, its own debt, 479 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 2: and no connection to Netflix. And I guess z Aslov 480 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 2: would run that and then everything else goes to Ted 481 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 2: Sarando's at Netflix. 482 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 4: Wow. 483 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 2: Okay, so pros and cons. As we said the pros 484 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 2: it does stabilize Warner's studio business. Warner Brothers has been 485 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 2: struggling with debt and underperforming streaming growth, and now a 486 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 2: well capitalized buyer like Netflix could restore consistent investment, keeping 487 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 2: the franchises alive, and prevent a studio collapse. That might 488 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 2: reduce competition even more. And that's what they go to 489 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 2: the government and say, like, hey, we're going out of 490 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 2: business here and we're competing against you know, more than 491 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 2: what you think. And this gives these HBO and the 492 00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 2: Warner Brothers and all that stuff, stronger competition against Disney, Amazon, 493 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:06,080 Speaker 2: and the regulators do consider that global competition. Netflix, combining 494 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 2: with Warner's deep library and HBO's prestige content, could create 495 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 2: a company strong enough to compete long term with Disney, Amazon, 496 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 2: Prime Video, and Apple, all of which have deep pockets 497 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 2: outside of entertainment. So it's kind of not fair that 498 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 2: Warner Brothers has to compete with these people that have 499 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 2: unlimited pockets. How are your unlimited pockets doing these days? 500 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 4: Not very well, They've become limited. 501 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 2: They so anyways, a lot of restrictions. 502 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 4: They've added restrictions. 503 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,719 Speaker 2: Okay, they've a lot of efficiencies. It's very attractive for these, 504 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 2: you know, business people to do this. But here's the 505 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 2: cons major anti trust red flags. Netflix is already the 506 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 2: largest streamer in the world. If they absorb HBO and 507 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 2: Warner Brothers, it gives it unpreceded It gives it gives 508 00:30:55,880 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 2: it unpreceded control over premium TV, Blockbuster films, talent pipelines. 509 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 2: Regulators could argue that this creates a dominant gatekeeper, that's 510 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 2: what you're worried about, making it harder for smaller streamers 511 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 2: and independence studios to survive. It's like those are called 512 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 2: barriers to entry. Does it create barriers to entry? I mean, 513 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 2: I mean, who's going to start a new streaming service anyways? 514 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 2: But I Fox did, Fox recently did, and you can 515 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 2: see my TV shows Monsters Across America and Alien Abductions 516 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 2: with Abbie Hornisick on that Fox new Fox network that 517 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 2: they started. I hope it survives because I'm sick of 518 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 2: my shows only being on Fox Nation. I think they're 519 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 2: still on Fox Nation, but you just can access it 520 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 2: easier through that. Anyway, You've got to take a break 521 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 2: and we'll come back with more of the cons and 522 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 2: the concerns about this blockbuster merger between HBO and our 523 00:31:55,200 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 2: Warner Brothers Netflix. Joe Ascalante Live from Hollywood. Joe Asante, Yes, 524 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 2: Joe's Gomante. He's your lawyer. Hey, Hey, Sam, we were 525 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 2: talking about my TV shows and they're on. My shows 526 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 2: are great. I wouldn't promote him, like I'm not sitting 527 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 2: here promoting all my albums. Some of my albums are good, 528 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 2: some they're not. I don't know. I mean, there's some 529 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 2: good stuff on all of them or whatever, but I'm 530 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 2: not But I will tell you my TV shows Monsters 531 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 2: Across America and Alien Abductions with Abby Hornyseck are excellent. 532 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 2: They're all a half hour. They're all paranormal investigations going 533 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 2: around America. Both my hosts are beautiful. Casey Hosmer, wife 534 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 2: of Eric Hosmer, the Padres you might know him, and 535 00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 2: Abby Horniseck, the daughter of Jeff Hornisack, the Utah Jazz 536 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 2: Basketball Hall of Famer. I don't know why these girls 537 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 2: both have connections to major sports, but they do. And 538 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 2: the shows are great, and you can only see him 539 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 2: on Fox Nation. You can access Fox Nation through you know, 540 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 2: Roku or the new Fox streaming series. But you know 541 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 2: how much Netflix not Netflix? You know how much the 542 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 2: Fox Nation costs Sam a month? How much take a. 543 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 4: Guess, ninety nine cents. 544 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 2: I think you could get an introductory date a month 545 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 2: for ninety nine cents or something. Anyway, the standard price, 546 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 2: the standard price for a Fox Nation is two dollars 547 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:51,600 Speaker 2: and ninety nine cents. 548 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 4: I knew it was a ninety nine cents somewhere in 549 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 4: there that month. 550 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 2: You did call that you nailed that one, yeah, nin 551 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 2: or Fox Nation, And that's where my shows are you know, 552 00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:09,880 Speaker 2: I wish more people could see them. They should be 553 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,839 Speaker 2: on YouTube so that you pay a dollar ninety nine 554 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 2: for my shows or ninety nine cents or just you know, 555 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 2: whatever you want. 556 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:19,400 Speaker 4: I don't know. 557 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 2: I wish more people could see them because they're really good. 558 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 2: But they're stuck on Fox Nations. So anyway, some good 559 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 2: stuff on Fox Nations. But it's just it's not for everybody. 560 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,440 Speaker 2: We all know. Okay, we're going through the cons of 561 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 2: the Warner Brothers acquisition by Netflix, and you know the 562 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 2: major anti trust rate flags, but the harm to theatrical 563 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:51,319 Speaker 2: exhibition is the most concerning because they have never prioritized 564 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 2: why theatrical releases. Now, what if Warner Brothers does that too, Oh, 565 00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,800 Speaker 2: let's just streaming first. Theater chains get a couple of 566 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,880 Speaker 2: weeks just we can qualify for oscars, and then we 567 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,480 Speaker 2: put it on our streaming services. That is horrible. So 568 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,800 Speaker 2: I'm not saying they should block this, Sam, not that 569 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:14,399 Speaker 2: they're gonna call me. They never do. But there has 570 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:19,200 Speaker 2: to be a lot of conditions, you know, yeah too, 571 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 2: because there's a lot of jobs and a lot of 572 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,520 Speaker 2: I mean, we talk about it every week, how important 573 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 2: the theaters are for everybody and there we need to 574 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,960 Speaker 2: do something to make sure they don't go away. And 575 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:38,319 Speaker 2: this is, you know, another step towards perhaps them going 576 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 2: away unless there's conditions like I don't know how you 577 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,400 Speaker 2: could do that, say like, you guys can do this, 578 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 2: but you have to put your movies in the theaters. 579 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,000 Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know how you can enforce that, 580 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:55,440 Speaker 2: but maybe they can, because if they wander, the titles 581 00:35:55,640 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 2: shift towards streaming. First, theater chains are worried about fewer 582 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 2: big movies to exhibit, and that's devastating reduced box office 583 00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:10,399 Speaker 2: revenue and greater volatility because sure you have these big 584 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,600 Speaker 2: like Paramount will release a top gun or something and 585 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 2: it gets huge or a demon slayer hunter, but then 586 00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,480 Speaker 2: then it goes back to nothing and then it's just volatile, 587 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,480 Speaker 2: lower wages for a lot of people, that kind of stuff. 588 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,280 Speaker 2: So this is what the regulators will look at. Fewer 589 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:33,759 Speaker 2: independent platforms, fewer competitors setting prices, so only the big couple, 590 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,240 Speaker 2: big fat cats are setting prices. This is a monopoly 591 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:39,880 Speaker 2: I mean, think of monopoly Man. What does monopoly man 592 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,239 Speaker 2: do when he's not on your when you're not playing 593 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 2: that game, he goes into a smoke filled room and 594 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 2: he engages in price fixing and to line his money 595 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,560 Speaker 2: bags pockets. 596 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:57,080 Speaker 3: So the closest thing I've seen to this was released 597 00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:03,160 Speaker 3: recently was the when Microsoft acquired Activision in the video 598 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,719 Speaker 3: game world, and you saw and there was a lot 599 00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 3: of people who were concerned that there were certain properties 600 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 3: like Call of Duty that are huge on multiple platforms 601 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:18,759 Speaker 3: become exclusively on Microsoft and Xbox, and that part of 602 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:20,960 Speaker 3: the deal was that they had to guarantee that that, 603 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:25,440 Speaker 3: you know, the games that are you know, popular cross 604 00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:29,040 Speaker 3: platform would have to be have conditions around it to 605 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,719 Speaker 3: make sure that they wouldn't be just set up as 606 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,080 Speaker 3: exclusives for Xbox. 607 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:38,200 Speaker 2: It's saying the non exclusive exclusive. That's pretty easy to 608 00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,360 Speaker 2: take a condition. Yeah, but it sounds this is more complicated. 609 00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,640 Speaker 3: It sounds like this is a lot more complicated because 610 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:47,640 Speaker 3: this involves significantly more money and a lot more companies 611 00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:48,040 Speaker 3: at play. 612 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, just like you have to put your movies in theaters, Like, 613 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,040 Speaker 2: how do you make a rule that says you have 614 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:54,880 Speaker 2: to put a movie in a theater, especially if you 615 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:59,719 Speaker 2: have these stupid ones that Netflix makes, you know, you know, 616 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,600 Speaker 2: cares about those, or do you have to have a 617 00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:07,879 Speaker 2: certain percentage in theaters. It's just scary. So we'll see. 618 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,399 Speaker 2: So I don't think it'll get blocked. I think there'll 619 00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,480 Speaker 2: be a lot of conditions, and maybe there'll be phony 620 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,120 Speaker 2: conditions because of a lot of corruption around town. Here's 621 00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:18,320 Speaker 2: a corruption I don't even have the guy's name, but 622 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,719 Speaker 2: the ticket company associated with Live Nation, Irving Azof and 623 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:27,239 Speaker 2: the partner, the president of the thing. He got caught 624 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:32,600 Speaker 2: in a big bribery kickback scam on concerts, and Trump 625 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:33,359 Speaker 2: just pardoned him. 626 00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:36,240 Speaker 4: That seems to be going around. 627 00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, that's just like I don't know who's 628 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 2: got his ear, But come on, that guy's a villain. 629 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:45,959 Speaker 2: You shouldn't be pardoning him. You should be going deeper 630 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:50,600 Speaker 2: into that company and putting them all in jail. This 631 00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,040 Speaker 2: guy's just going to get out of jail free. So 632 00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:56,279 Speaker 2: I'm not happy about that. But let's go on to 633 00:38:56,360 --> 00:39:01,400 Speaker 2: something else. The la PD have a arrested one of 634 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:04,400 Speaker 2: your guys, Sam thirty two year old rapper and social 635 00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:10,440 Speaker 2: media influencer Clinton Adams, otherwise known as Clinton Lord. Who 636 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:16,160 Speaker 2: you well he's been I'm glad you're not associated with 637 00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,040 Speaker 2: him and not a fan anymore because He's got to 638 00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:22,839 Speaker 2: rest on multiple rape and assault charges after accusations from 639 00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:26,480 Speaker 2: two women. Authorities say Adam met the women on separate occasions, 640 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:30,279 Speaker 2: so it's a pattern. Sam. He lures them into a 641 00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,800 Speaker 2: home in the Palisades, claiming it's his, and it's like, 642 00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,160 Speaker 2: you know, burn fire, damaged, oh damn. And then what 643 00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:42,080 Speaker 2: does he do when he's in there, He sexually assaults them. Sam. Yeah, 644 00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:46,319 Speaker 2: both victims identified him by name, and detexts are now 645 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,759 Speaker 2: urging anyone else who may have been lured into a 646 00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:54,920 Speaker 2: burnt up Palisades house with a disgusting rapper to contact police. 647 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,920 Speaker 2: He's in custody now waiting further court proceedings.
