0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:52.000
<v Speaker 1>first guest, who is absolutely stunning and intelligent and successful

0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:55.040
<v Speaker 1>and I'm so excited she's on the podcast today. She's

0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:58.000
<v Speaker 1>a Beverly Hills based entertainment attorney. Her name is Mitra

0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:01.519
<v Speaker 1>are In. She's represented every type of player in Hollywood,

0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:05.560
<v Speaker 1>from actors, every type of player, including my ex Okay,

0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:07.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's like you knew it was coming, all right.

0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:11.680
<v Speaker 1>From actors, musicians, producers, movie studios, book publishers. Her longtime

0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:17.560
<v Speaker 1>clients have included Justin Baldoni, Oh I love him, NFL

0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:21.240
<v Speaker 1>player Ryan Claudy, the world famous Magic Castle. She just

0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:24.959
<v Speaker 1>reps the Magic Castle casually. That's pretty wild. She's done

0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:28.760
<v Speaker 1>deals for Larry King, Bill Maher Rain Wilson, Penn Badgeley,

0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:32.920
<v Speaker 1>Ja Shetty. Not only does she have firsthand knowledge on

0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:37.640
<v Speaker 1>a wide range of issues including intellectual property, copyright infringement, incorporation,

0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:41.000
<v Speaker 1>show business contracts, and sexual harassment plates. But she has

0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 1>been closely following amber Heard's defamation trial. Why do I

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:47.840
<v Speaker 1>say defamation every time? I'm not sure, I think because

0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:50.160
<v Speaker 1>after that one story, I'm you're afraid that you're gonna

0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:52.680
<v Speaker 1>say defecation. So I think you just kind of tweak

0:03:52.760 --> 0:04:02.200
<v Speaker 1>it defamation. It's it's the defamation defication trial. Sadly, it

0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:06.360
<v Speaker 1>is the deafamation death vaication trap. We should make a musical.

0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:10.960
<v Speaker 1>We should make a musical. Um, Okay, so you guys,

0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:15.080
<v Speaker 1>basically moral of the story is she's going to come on,

0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Mitra is incredible. She's gonna share some insight on the

0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:23.400
<v Speaker 1>Johnny Depp amber Heard story, and maybe we can slowly

0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:27.119
<v Speaker 1>or very quickly ask her about Mike Tyson and asap Rocky.

0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Let's see. All right, please, welcome to the show, Mitra.

0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:34.279
<v Speaker 1>How's it going. Hello, Oh my gosh, it's nice to

0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:37.839
<v Speaker 1>meet you. To me, just so you know, I've already

0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:43.719
<v Speaker 1>introduced you. I can just just imagine feeling very loved

0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:50.440
<v Speaker 1>with a very big, flattering introduction. We're so exciting, said,

0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:55.680
<v Speaker 1>but okay, you know, yeah, only only the best things,

0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:58.080
<v Speaker 1>only your biggest credits, all of it. They were Honestly,

0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:00.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm still learning how to read. And it was a lot,

0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:05.599
<v Speaker 1>so thank you. Um, you know, it was just like intelligent, successful,

0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:09.160
<v Speaker 1>gorgeous killing It worked with all the stars, but then

0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:11.160
<v Speaker 1>named them all, you know. And then there was a

0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:14.400
<v Speaker 1>gas when we got to the Magic Castle. There was

0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:17.640
<v Speaker 1>a bit of gasp from both of us. We gasped.

0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:22.200
<v Speaker 1>I was like, the whole Magic Castle is your client. Yeah,

0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:25.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's wild. For people who don't live in

0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:29.840
<v Speaker 1>Los Angeles, you don't know how legendary the Magic Castle is,

0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:35.880
<v Speaker 1>and that's a you problem. But but it is a

0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:38.640
<v Speaker 1>destination where it's worth coming to l A just to

0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:41.400
<v Speaker 1>go to the Magic Castle. I actually know it sounds crazy.

0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Hate magic. I have magic phobia. Well I know, except

0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:48.320
<v Speaker 1>for when I go to the Magic Castle because I

0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:50.560
<v Speaker 1>get so nervous that they're not going to finish their

0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:56.479
<v Speaker 1>trick and it just performers anxiety. It's performers anxiety. And

0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:58.680
<v Speaker 1>so every time I even went on a date with

0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:02.240
<v Speaker 1>this guy once and he hired a magician. Is a

0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:04.080
<v Speaker 1>long story, but I was like this, I mean, you're

0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:10.640
<v Speaker 1>not gonna get a second date. Yeah, surprisingly we're not

0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:14.480
<v Speaker 1>married anyway, Enough about me, Mitra, let's just jump right in.

0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Weird you're here? Sorry, go ahead? Do you feel good

0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:20.160
<v Speaker 1>about that one? To me? Do you know what? It

0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:21.440
<v Speaker 1>came to me? And I was just like, you know what,

0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:25.839
<v Speaker 1>that's gotta be seen? Sorry, go ahead? Oh boy, Okay,

0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:27.400
<v Speaker 1>he really would have had to pull a rabbit out

0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:30.120
<v Speaker 1>of a hat to get a second date. Okay, we're

0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:33.640
<v Speaker 1>moving on anyway. All right, Okay, I'm gonna go back

0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.280
<v Speaker 1>in the waiting room and come back. Guys are done

0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:41.480
<v Speaker 1>with whatever this is. Okay, I'm like interview, so sorry,

0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:46.599
<v Speaker 1>come on one this morning. Um, Metra, can you tell

0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:49.240
<v Speaker 1>us what is the latest with the Johnny Depp and

0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Amber Heard trial. First of all, this has been the

0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:57.360
<v Speaker 1>most amazing case to cover. Um, it's like so many

0:06:57.400 --> 0:07:01.599
<v Speaker 1>emotions happening. It's sad. Um, it's hard to see, you know,

0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:04.640
<v Speaker 1>a celebrity you know and love kind of airing it

0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:07.640
<v Speaker 1>all out like that. Um. There are times when he's

0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:12.960
<v Speaker 1>charming and funny and you know, and it's really kind

0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:17.840
<v Speaker 1>of hard to imagine that in order to get justice

0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:21.360
<v Speaker 1>a celebrity has to go through all of this and really,

0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:25.760
<v Speaker 1>Era all his dirty laundry. So as far as the updates. Um.

0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:28.720
<v Speaker 1>But so we started with the plaintiff's case, which is

0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:32.000
<v Speaker 1>Johnny Depp sued Amber heard right, and then of course

0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:35.520
<v Speaker 1>she countersued for the same thing for defamation for what

0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:39.360
<v Speaker 1>he alleged in his lawsuit, basically that she was a liar. Um.

0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:43.880
<v Speaker 1>And so he sues her for defamation. And defamation we

0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:46.400
<v Speaker 1>all know is like something that somebody says about you

0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:50.480
<v Speaker 1>that's negative, or somebody puts something in print that's negative. Um.

0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:53.239
<v Speaker 1>But for a celebrity, they have to also go beyond

0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:56.520
<v Speaker 1>that and show that they did it with malice so

0:07:56.680 --> 0:08:00.720
<v Speaker 1>maliciously meaning knowing it was, knowing it was false, or

0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:05.760
<v Speaker 1>not caring if those false. Um. So Johnny's lawyers kind

0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:08.400
<v Speaker 1>of started by, you know what I like to call

0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:11.840
<v Speaker 1>the character development phase of a trial, which is very

0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:15.360
<v Speaker 1>much like a movie. You're kind of introducing Johnny Depp

0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:18.840
<v Speaker 1>as the character. Um, you know, his childhood. It started

0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:22.320
<v Speaker 1>with testimony of his sister talking about when he was

0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:26.560
<v Speaker 1>a kid and was abused and also describing kind of

0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:30.920
<v Speaker 1>the learned adaptive behaviors that he picked up as a kid,

0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:34.200
<v Speaker 1>which is getting you know, kind of escaping from the

0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:36.320
<v Speaker 1>abuse or staying out of the line of fire, so

0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:39.760
<v Speaker 1>to speak. Um, and then sort of went through the

0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:45.439
<v Speaker 1>dynamic of their relationship with Amber being the aggressor and

0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:49.000
<v Speaker 1>the one that's constantly sort of poking at him, and

0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:52.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, even played some recordings of her admitting to

0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:54.640
<v Speaker 1>having hit him. I hit you, I hate you, sort

0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:58.520
<v Speaker 1>of stuff like that, and um. And then after that,

0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:00.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, they get to cross exam and him on

0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:02.679
<v Speaker 1>the other side, and that's when sort of the ugly

0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:05.280
<v Speaker 1>stuff comes out. So can I ask you a quick question?

0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:08.280
<v Speaker 1>So it's funny because we think that we know somebody,

0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:10.000
<v Speaker 1>especially when they're an active you think you know. So

0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:12.920
<v Speaker 1>the character set up is always quite fascinating because you

0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:14.760
<v Speaker 1>learned so much more about someone that you kind of

0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:16.960
<v Speaker 1>even though we know we know don't know them, we

0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:19.400
<v Speaker 1>think we do. Um, how do you think his team

0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:22.959
<v Speaker 1>did with his character set up? I think they did

0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:26.520
<v Speaker 1>a great job. They made him look really vulnerable. Sometimes

0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:30.080
<v Speaker 1>celebrities are really larger than life, and so you know,

0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:32.040
<v Speaker 1>and it's and like you said, it's really hard to

0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:36.080
<v Speaker 1>distinguish what we know about them as characters and what

0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:39.200
<v Speaker 1>we also project on celebrities as you know, this is

0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:41.240
<v Speaker 1>who we think they are, who we want them to be.

0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:44.920
<v Speaker 1>So they presented him as this, you know, this guy

0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:49.200
<v Speaker 1>who has had addiction problems but also created empathy around

0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:51.240
<v Speaker 1>that with his you know, sort of his abuse and

0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:54.920
<v Speaker 1>all of that, um and his struggles to get sober.

0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:57.240
<v Speaker 1>And so I think they did a really really good

0:09:57.320 --> 0:10:00.720
<v Speaker 1>job of humanizing him, and that's key when you're in

0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:16.000
<v Speaker 1>any lawsuit. Yeah. So, I mean I have a million questions,

0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:20.160
<v Speaker 1>but you know, I see him as Captain Jack Sparrow

0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:23.640
<v Speaker 1>on the stand. You know, he's so charming and he's

0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:28.160
<v Speaker 1>without even trying to hilarious. You know, his use of

0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:31.440
<v Speaker 1>language is so unique, and the fact that he even

0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:34.160
<v Speaker 1>when he's insulting someone, he's like, refers to her as

0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:37.280
<v Speaker 1>a slippery whore. It's like, what, you know, do you

0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:41.240
<v Speaker 1>think that these elements of charm will and his you know,

0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:46.000
<v Speaker 1>humor so to speak. You know, when he's correcting, um,

0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:48.080
<v Speaker 1>correcting them when they're asking, oh is that right, and

0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:49.960
<v Speaker 1>he's like, no, it's not best of luck, it's best

0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:56.400
<v Speaker 1>if luck. Yeah, he's good, but I mean, I mean,

0:10:56.440 --> 0:11:00.280
<v Speaker 1>he's a good actor. But I honestly, I'm like, wow,

0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:02.319
<v Speaker 1>this feels like they are shooting a movie that we're

0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:04.079
<v Speaker 1>all watching in real time, like we're all on the

0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:06.360
<v Speaker 1>Truman Show. But do you think that that sort of

0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:08.840
<v Speaker 1>element of charm and humor will help him in the

0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:11.960
<v Speaker 1>trial or do you think that ultimately people will see

0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:14.360
<v Speaker 1>through it or they won't be able to identify that

0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:17.400
<v Speaker 1>as as something that would help him in the trial. Yeah,

0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:20.000
<v Speaker 1>that's a good question. So you got to think like

0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:22.600
<v Speaker 1>a jury, right, so you are going to be here

0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:27.040
<v Speaker 1>for six weeks not able to look at anything because

0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:28.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's a high profile case, so you're not

0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:32.000
<v Speaker 1>allowed to really look at anything outside of what's going

0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:35.200
<v Speaker 1>on in that courtroom. Some of it's really boring. Some

0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:37.280
<v Speaker 1>of it drags out. I mean some of the questions

0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:40.480
<v Speaker 1>that lawyers have to ask are really foundational or you

0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:42.760
<v Speaker 1>know kind of no one cares in a sense, but

0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:45.240
<v Speaker 1>they have to kind of lay things out legally. So

0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:48.120
<v Speaker 1>it's you know, hours and hours a day. So if

0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:50.280
<v Speaker 1>I were on a jury, I'd be like, oh my god,

0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:52.040
<v Speaker 1>thank god somebody made me laugh or thank god I

0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:55.080
<v Speaker 1>saw like some emotion or some personality or something, because

0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:57.120
<v Speaker 1>you kind of need those moments, you know, of like

0:11:57.240 --> 0:12:02.360
<v Speaker 1>comic relief or entertainment. Um, so I can't imagine that

0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:04.960
<v Speaker 1>would that would hurt him. You know what's interesting too,

0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:07.880
<v Speaker 1>is that when stuff like Lea pointed out like like oh,

0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:10.320
<v Speaker 1>he's like, no, it's not of it's if like when

0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:12.600
<v Speaker 1>correcting those things, if I'm on a jury, if I'm

0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:15.360
<v Speaker 1>just thinking from a differ, from a different perspective, he's

0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:17.720
<v Speaker 1>correcting it to make sure that they get the smallest awards, right.

0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:19.960
<v Speaker 1>So in my mind, I'm like, oh, this guy's this

0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:22.480
<v Speaker 1>guy's a stickler for details. He's telling the truth. He's

0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:26.680
<v Speaker 1>making sure that everything's right. So subliminally, subconsciously, as it

0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:28.679
<v Speaker 1>goes on, I'm thinking, oh, he's telling me the truth

0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:33.439
<v Speaker 1>because he's corrected the Yeah, he's he's come off as

0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:38.959
<v Speaker 1>really credible, as authentic. Um as you know you believe him.

0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:43.320
<v Speaker 1>Um he was. I mean they really leaned into the

0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:48.560
<v Speaker 1>drug abuse and the alcoholism his lawyers did before the

0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:51.080
<v Speaker 1>defense even had a chance to bring it up, basically

0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:55.600
<v Speaker 1>getting rid of that surprise factor or that sting that

0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:57.199
<v Speaker 1>you know they're going to come in and say, well,

0:12:57.240 --> 0:12:59.280
<v Speaker 1>he was an addict, and you know, ad ex abuse

0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:01.160
<v Speaker 1>people and they block out, they don't know what they

0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:03.800
<v Speaker 1>do and all of that, but they leaned into that,

0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:08.520
<v Speaker 1>which made him super vulnerable and really credible, and I

0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:11.479
<v Speaker 1>think that that was that, I mean, obviously very deliberate,

0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:15.360
<v Speaker 1>but like you said, you know, he also senses when

0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:18.120
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to catch him in something he said before

0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:21.040
<v Speaker 1>and kind of twist and minipulate his words, so instead

0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:24.400
<v Speaker 1>of giving them the yes or no that they want,

0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:29.199
<v Speaker 1>he sort of is like clarifying, which is really smart. Okay,

0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:31.640
<v Speaker 1>so sorry, I just wanted to piggyback on something that

0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:34.160
<v Speaker 1>you brought up before, which was that if you're on

0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:36.360
<v Speaker 1>the jury, you're not allowed to be watching clips of

0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:39.240
<v Speaker 1>the trial online, you know, or check them out. It's

0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:43.560
<v Speaker 1>almost like you're in a quarantine again. Yep. But I

0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:49.040
<v Speaker 1>remember reading just maybe last week that one of Johnny's witnesses,

0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Georgina Dooders, was dismissed from the trial because she watched

0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:58.280
<v Speaker 1>clips of the trial online allegedly and because Amber Heard's

0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:01.000
<v Speaker 1>friend was watching in the courtroom. Man now she's Eve

0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Barlow has now since been banned from the courtroom because

0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:06.720
<v Speaker 1>of this um and also apparently her dramatic nature and

0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:08.720
<v Speaker 1>tweeting and texting from the front row of the courtroom,

0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:12.000
<v Speaker 1>which is something that usually people who are just friends

0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:14.760
<v Speaker 1>of someone on trial don't really have the privilege of

0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:18.880
<v Speaker 1>doing right. Um, but do you think that you know

0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:22.040
<v Speaker 1>this will hurt his case? Do you think that? Um?

0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:24.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean I read that it seemed like it was

0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:26.200
<v Speaker 1>going to be a blow to the case. But do

0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:28.360
<v Speaker 1>you think that he'll have enough to go off of

0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:31.920
<v Speaker 1>to win. Well, we don't know what her testimony was

0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:34.040
<v Speaker 1>going to be, and usually the testimony is like a

0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:36.120
<v Speaker 1>big piece of the puzzle, right the way they're going

0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:38.960
<v Speaker 1>to tell the story. Um, it didn't hurt them that

0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:43.360
<v Speaker 1>she did that, because you know, the judge even said

0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:45.080
<v Speaker 1>it was kind of obvious that they didn't know. She said,

0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:47.880
<v Speaker 1>I believe you guys that you didn't know that this happened. Um,

0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:50.120
<v Speaker 1>So that was okay, didn't kind of get you know,

0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:52.040
<v Speaker 1>they didn't get out of the good racist of the judge.

0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:54.240
<v Speaker 1>But in terms of storytelling, they're going to have to

0:14:54.360 --> 0:15:00.440
<v Speaker 1>find a way to kind of connect the dots without her. Okay. Also,

0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:03.840
<v Speaker 1>there is a rumor that Amber's lawyer quit. Is that true?

0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:07.520
<v Speaker 1>I didn't hear that. Okay, I don't think so, because

0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:11.520
<v Speaker 1>he's still the main there's two main lawyers. Um, and

0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:13.040
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna love it when I hit one of them.

0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:16.840
<v Speaker 1>His name's Rotten Born. Um, and everyone like you can't

0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:19.480
<v Speaker 1>when you're commenting on this and you just can't not

0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:24.920
<v Speaker 1>can't make fun of that. But those are the things

0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:28.320
<v Speaker 1>that you change. Yeah, does that not get change? Yeah? Yeah?

0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:31.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean so yeah, that's you know, he's in a

0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:34.720
<v Speaker 1>very public case and people cannot help but bring that up.

0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:38.120
<v Speaker 1>But um, but those two are definitely there. They have

0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:40.360
<v Speaker 1>obviously a team of lawyers, so there's a lot of

0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:44.120
<v Speaker 1>people that are also there that might be, um, you know,

0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:48.880
<v Speaker 1>involved kind of behind the scenes. Um, but as far

0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:52.840
<v Speaker 1>as I can tell, everyone's still there. Okay. So also,

0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:57.080
<v Speaker 1>just on the note of them continually bringing up him

0:15:57.080 --> 0:16:01.040
<v Speaker 1>being quote unquote a monster when he's drawn or on drugs,

0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:03.400
<v Speaker 1>and that he's an addict and that you know, Elton

0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:06.400
<v Speaker 1>John tried to help him get sober and he gets

0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:09.920
<v Speaker 1>aggressive when he's drunk and all these different things. I

0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:12.320
<v Speaker 1>thought that it was interesting that they were like, oh,

0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:14.640
<v Speaker 1>when you do drugs or when you get drunk with

0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:17.600
<v Speaker 1>Marilyn Manson. It's like he gets drunk with everyone, not

0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:21.040
<v Speaker 1>just Marilyn Manson. So I'm wondering do you think that

0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:24.880
<v Speaker 1>they keep trying to align him with Maryland so that

0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:28.240
<v Speaker 1>people's perception of him is that he is painted in

0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:32.760
<v Speaker 1>a more negative light. Because okay, one, because he was

0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:35.360
<v Speaker 1>I think he was convicted of abuse or play guilty too,

0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:39.440
<v Speaker 1>amusing a woman too, and just he's I mean, everyone

0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:48.120
<v Speaker 1>knows he's like weird, right, no matter, just yeah. Well,

0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:50.920
<v Speaker 1>I will say I was at Marilyn Manson's birthday party

0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:55.840
<v Speaker 1>five years ago, six five, and Giant Up was there,

0:16:55.920 --> 0:16:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Courtney Love was there, and everyone was quote unquote having

0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:02.640
<v Speaker 1>a good time. So um, but I would say probably

0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:05.880
<v Speaker 1>one of the more magical musical performances I've ever seen.

0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:10.560
<v Speaker 1>Not that I'm sure that must have been because you

0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:12.439
<v Speaker 1>don't drink, right, so that must have been quite an

0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:14.560
<v Speaker 1>event for you to be there with all those heavy

0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:18.480
<v Speaker 1>party ers just watching. Well, I mean, this is like

0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:22.560
<v Speaker 1>the story of my life. Okay. So so okay, Mitra,

0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:27.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, we have photo and video evidence of him

0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:29.800
<v Speaker 1>having bruises on his face, of her having bruises on

0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:33.639
<v Speaker 1>her on her face, um, of him saying, you know,

0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:38.080
<v Speaker 1>she like burst open the bathroom door and bashed his head,

0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:43.200
<v Speaker 1>and you know they have a very violent relationship and

0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:49.520
<v Speaker 1>it's super intense and filled with drama. I mean, at

0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:52.879
<v Speaker 1>this point, I don't know if I feel like I

0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:56.760
<v Speaker 1>really can tell who's in the right or the wrong,

0:17:57.000 --> 0:17:58.800
<v Speaker 1>because there's a part of me that's like, deep down,

0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:00.879
<v Speaker 1>if I look into my self, do I think that

0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:03.320
<v Speaker 1>Johnny Depp is just very charismatic and I love him

0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:06.480
<v Speaker 1>and so I just believe him more. Um, But then again,

0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:09.239
<v Speaker 1>I you know, Amber Heard did ship the bed and

0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:12.439
<v Speaker 1>leave it there, so you know, a lot of questions,

0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:15.280
<v Speaker 1>but how do you think this will turn out? So

0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:17.880
<v Speaker 1>I think a lot of people are sort of struggling

0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:20.040
<v Speaker 1>with what you're you know, what you're describing is we

0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:21.960
<v Speaker 1>love Johnny Depp. We don't want to believe that he

0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:24.760
<v Speaker 1>was the aggressor here. You know, today we have testimony

0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:29.400
<v Speaker 1>from a psychologist saying Amber Heard has porterline personality disorder.

0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:32.560
<v Speaker 1>And you know, she's clearly from the videos and the

0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:35.480
<v Speaker 1>audio that we're hearing, I mean, she's got a lot

0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:37.879
<v Speaker 1>of issues too, and she's causing a lot of this.

0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:43.760
<v Speaker 1>Their own marriage counselor described them as being mutually abusive.

0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:47.240
<v Speaker 1>So I think that's kind of like we recognize, you know,

0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:50.440
<v Speaker 1>we either some people have been or they know people

0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:53.200
<v Speaker 1>who have just been in these toxic relationships where their

0:18:53.320 --> 0:18:55.800
<v Speaker 1>traumas are attracted to each other and they can't get out,

0:18:55.960 --> 0:18:58.880
<v Speaker 1>like they are horrible to one another, but they love

0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:02.199
<v Speaker 1>each other. And it just sounds like that. So if

0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:04.879
<v Speaker 1>there's anyone on the jury that kind of knows people

0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:07.040
<v Speaker 1>like that or has been in a relationship like that,

0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:09.639
<v Speaker 1>or even is just watching the evidence, is like, you,

0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:12.960
<v Speaker 1>guys are both involved in this somehow, you know. So

0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:15.640
<v Speaker 1>that's going to make the case really hard for him

0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:20.360
<v Speaker 1>to prove. It's so interesting because she keeps filming him

0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:23.200
<v Speaker 1>when he doesn't know he's being filmed, and it's like,

0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:25.880
<v Speaker 1>are you doing that because you were trying to show

0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:29.439
<v Speaker 1>people the abuse because it's happened so many times, or

0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:33.560
<v Speaker 1>because you are trying to trap someone and somehow catch

0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:37.400
<v Speaker 1>them in a moment out of context, you know? I mean,

0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:40.679
<v Speaker 1>I just yeah, So so you don't so do you

0:19:40.680 --> 0:19:42.920
<v Speaker 1>feel like you know who will come out on top

0:19:42.960 --> 0:19:45.679
<v Speaker 1>in this case? I think that the jury is going

0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:47.920
<v Speaker 1>to be kind of tired of hearing all this after

0:19:48.000 --> 0:19:52.520
<v Speaker 1>six weeks, and they're gonna be I think there's enough

0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:55.639
<v Speaker 1>there to really say that they were both involved in

0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:58.159
<v Speaker 1>the abuse and there's different kinds of abuse, right, So

0:19:58.200 --> 0:20:01.159
<v Speaker 1>it's not just physical. There's a lot of you know,

0:20:01.200 --> 0:20:05.080
<v Speaker 1>emotional abuse and psychological abuse. I mean the kind of

0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:07.720
<v Speaker 1>the stuff you hear her saying about, like why would

0:20:07.760 --> 0:20:09.600
<v Speaker 1>you or want to work with you? You know, like

0:20:09.640 --> 0:20:12.679
<v Speaker 1>they they are a classy brand, like why would they

0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:14.600
<v Speaker 1>want why would they want you? Like stuff like that,

0:20:14.760 --> 0:20:18.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, or it's like it's super degrading and just

0:20:18.359 --> 0:20:22.439
<v Speaker 1>not a healthy, healthy relationships. So I think people are

0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:24.520
<v Speaker 1>going to see that and not be able to say, Okay,

0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:27.160
<v Speaker 1>this was a one way thing. Do you think there's

0:20:27.200 --> 0:20:30.879
<v Speaker 1>any way that she goes and testifies and just ruins

0:20:30.920 --> 0:20:35.800
<v Speaker 1>it for herself. You know, it's interesting they have, UM,

0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:39.080
<v Speaker 1>they have people like like you know, people study human behavior,

0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:42.520
<v Speaker 1>UM sort of watching her. She's been really good about

0:20:42.680 --> 0:20:47.480
<v Speaker 1>kind of having this very stoic, like straight face, trying

0:20:47.520 --> 0:20:50.480
<v Speaker 1>not to react to too many things. But there's people

0:20:50.640 --> 0:20:53.880
<v Speaker 1>that are observing her, you know, especially with the case

0:20:53.960 --> 0:20:56.439
<v Speaker 1>like this, when you have millions of dollars being spent

0:20:56.880 --> 0:21:01.600
<v Speaker 1>on legal fees, everyone's interpreting and analyzing everything that happens

0:21:01.600 --> 0:21:05.000
<v Speaker 1>in that courtroom, from every single juror you know, to her.

0:21:05.160 --> 0:21:08.760
<v Speaker 1>And I was watching this thing. Um it was actually

0:21:08.840 --> 0:21:12.960
<v Speaker 1>on air with this woman who was um like observing

0:21:13.040 --> 0:21:18.439
<v Speaker 1>her microbe expressions, and there was a moment where she

0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:21.679
<v Speaker 1>was expressing like contempt because just like one side of

0:21:21.680 --> 0:21:24.679
<v Speaker 1>her cheek was up like you couldn't even notice it.

0:21:25.640 --> 0:21:28.760
<v Speaker 1>So I think that if people, and I think people

0:21:28.880 --> 0:21:32.160
<v Speaker 1>kind of feel those things like they don't realize what's

0:21:32.200 --> 0:21:34.760
<v Speaker 1>happening necessarily, but that's how we kind of gauge people,

0:21:34.880 --> 0:21:38.520
<v Speaker 1>is like body language. So I think there's a lot

0:21:38.560 --> 0:21:41.520
<v Speaker 1>of ways where she can she can hurt herself, and

0:21:41.560 --> 0:21:43.359
<v Speaker 1>I think it's going to be an uphill battle for

0:21:43.400 --> 0:21:47.840
<v Speaker 1>her just because she's going second. We've heard so much

0:21:47.920 --> 0:21:52.440
<v Speaker 1>about her. Mm hmm. Okay, Tom too. Do you have

0:21:52.440 --> 0:21:55.359
<v Speaker 1>any final questions or can we move on? We have

0:21:55.440 --> 0:21:57.320
<v Speaker 1>a couple of moments with Mitra and I want to

0:21:57.320 --> 0:21:59.480
<v Speaker 1>slide in a couple of Mike Tyson questions, a couple

0:21:59.520 --> 0:22:02.280
<v Speaker 1>of eyes after hockey questions. Yeah, no, I want to

0:22:02.440 --> 0:22:06.720
<v Speaker 1>as well. Okay, awesome, Semitra. I know because we don't

0:22:06.760 --> 0:22:08.120
<v Speaker 1>have that much time with you, we also just want

0:22:08.119 --> 0:22:10.359
<v Speaker 1>to ask you quickly, what do you think is going

0:22:10.400 --> 0:22:14.239
<v Speaker 1>to happen with the Mike Tyson incident? You know, do

0:22:14.240 --> 0:22:17.000
<v Speaker 1>you see I mean, like, do you think he'll get

0:22:17.040 --> 0:22:19.280
<v Speaker 1>charged for punching the other passenger even though he was

0:22:19.320 --> 0:22:22.320
<v Speaker 1>the one being provoked? I think so. I mean, I

0:22:22.320 --> 0:22:26.000
<v Speaker 1>think physical is a whole another level. You know, that's

0:22:26.000 --> 0:22:29.560
<v Speaker 1>that's sort of you know, it's there's a separate line

0:22:29.680 --> 0:22:34.080
<v Speaker 1>for physical um, and that's that's battery. Um. And so

0:22:34.160 --> 0:22:37.480
<v Speaker 1>I think there's a criminal element. There's also federal like

0:22:37.560 --> 0:22:43.639
<v Speaker 1>federal laws when in the in an airplane. Um. And

0:22:43.720 --> 0:22:46.439
<v Speaker 1>so there's those kinds of laws that are specific to

0:22:46.760 --> 0:22:49.080
<v Speaker 1>being on board with a plane where people can't really

0:22:49.200 --> 0:22:52.639
<v Speaker 1>escape and you're you know, threatening the lives of other people. UM.

0:22:52.760 --> 0:22:54.800
<v Speaker 1>So there's an issue with that, and people take that

0:22:54.880 --> 0:22:58.879
<v Speaker 1>really seriously because of not only terrorism, but because of

0:22:58.920 --> 0:23:01.920
<v Speaker 1>the stuff we've seen with the mask bandate and people

0:23:02.200 --> 0:23:07.240
<v Speaker 1>getting kind of aggressive with flight attendants. UM. And then

0:23:07.320 --> 0:23:09.640
<v Speaker 1>of course, you know, the guy that got beat up

0:23:09.720 --> 0:23:11.400
<v Speaker 1>is going to sue Mike Tyson and get a lot

0:23:11.440 --> 0:23:15.720
<v Speaker 1>of money. M hmm. Do you think Mike Tyson will

0:23:15.800 --> 0:23:20.960
<v Speaker 1>have will be eligible to counter sue. I don't know.

0:23:21.359 --> 0:23:23.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think I'll certainly try because a lot

0:23:23.480 --> 0:23:26.440
<v Speaker 1>of times these things happen, things people countersuit to kind

0:23:26.440 --> 0:23:30.320
<v Speaker 1>of protect their image. But it's probably something that's going

0:23:30.359 --> 0:23:33.840
<v Speaker 1>to settle that we might not even hear about. Mm hmm.

0:23:34.280 --> 0:23:36.159
<v Speaker 1>And do you think that this will get Mike Tyson

0:23:36.200 --> 0:23:40.160
<v Speaker 1>on some sort of like no fly list or does

0:23:40.160 --> 0:23:42.360
<v Speaker 1>hee kind of walk around scotfree after this? I mean

0:23:42.359 --> 0:23:45.360
<v Speaker 1>this also is really interesting. Yeah, I mean this also

0:23:45.359 --> 0:23:47.959
<v Speaker 1>feels reminiscent of Will Smith and Chris Rock. It's like,

0:23:49.320 --> 0:23:53.320
<v Speaker 1>even though Chris Rock didn't press any charges, Will Smith

0:23:53.320 --> 0:23:55.760
<v Speaker 1>did face a lot of consequences and he's not allowed

0:23:55.800 --> 0:24:01.880
<v Speaker 1>back at the OSCARS for ten years. Yeah. So with

0:24:01.920 --> 0:24:04.919
<v Speaker 1>Mike Tyson, I mean, no finalists. I don't know what

0:24:05.119 --> 0:24:09.240
<v Speaker 1>the rules are around that specifically, but definitely not whatever

0:24:09.240 --> 0:24:12.040
<v Speaker 1>that airline was. And also Mike Tyson should be flying

0:24:12.119 --> 0:24:18.600
<v Speaker 1>private anyway because he's Mike Tyson. Don't shots fired? Shots fired? Yeah?

0:24:18.920 --> 0:24:20.840
<v Speaker 1>You know what his thought when he punched the guy

0:24:20.880 --> 0:24:22.640
<v Speaker 1>in the face is probably like, why am I still

0:24:22.680 --> 0:24:27.600
<v Speaker 1>flying commercial? Right? How did it here? Yeah? Let me

0:24:27.640 --> 0:24:29.800
<v Speaker 1>make sure I never have to fly commercial again. I

0:24:29.880 --> 0:24:32.080
<v Speaker 1>know a way. I'm only one row away from a

0:24:32.080 --> 0:24:36.840
<v Speaker 1>guy like this commander right, dear lord, that Mike Tyson.

0:24:37.800 --> 0:24:41.359
<v Speaker 1>It's just it's weird because when you're that famous, I

0:24:41.400 --> 0:24:45.199
<v Speaker 1>didn't even know you could fly commercial. How do you

0:24:45.240 --> 0:24:48.320
<v Speaker 1>walk through the airport? It's rough, Yeah, it is rough.

0:24:48.359 --> 0:24:50.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean I have a lot of clients obviously who

0:24:50.960 --> 0:24:54.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, are flying because the projects that they work

0:24:54.440 --> 0:24:59.439
<v Speaker 1>on are not paying for private planes. They're typically paying

0:24:59.480 --> 0:25:03.800
<v Speaker 1>for it for class trouble, and so they're all Most celebrities,

0:25:03.880 --> 0:25:07.440
<v Speaker 1>unless they're arranging or going through something other than work,

0:25:07.520 --> 0:25:09.320
<v Speaker 1>you might catch them in an airport at some point.

0:25:09.400 --> 0:25:11.920
<v Speaker 1>So that's why you see people with bodyguards. I guess

0:25:12.000 --> 0:25:17.280
<v Speaker 1>my cousin doesn't need a bodyguard, right hilarious is an

0:25:17.280 --> 0:25:22.000
<v Speaker 1>extra fee for being his own bodyguard, right, Yeah. So

0:25:22.040 --> 0:25:24.359
<v Speaker 1>if you wanna catch a celebrity, just hang out at

0:25:24.480 --> 0:25:27.880
<v Speaker 1>L a X all day you might see one. Yeah.

0:25:27.960 --> 0:25:31.080
<v Speaker 1>And lastly, just real quick, so we want to ask

0:25:31.160 --> 0:25:35.480
<v Speaker 1>about the asap Rocky arrest. Do you think that he

0:25:35.600 --> 0:25:38.240
<v Speaker 1>knew or that we knew that this was coming when

0:25:38.240 --> 0:25:40.439
<v Speaker 1>he landed back in the States after all the drama

0:25:40.440 --> 0:25:44.000
<v Speaker 1>with him in Rihanna and their little vacation after the

0:25:44.040 --> 0:25:49.119
<v Speaker 1>whole cheating incident. I don't think so. Um, because usually

0:25:49.119 --> 0:25:52.679
<v Speaker 1>when something like that happens, people call the cops. You know,

0:25:52.800 --> 0:25:56.760
<v Speaker 1>people do something right away. Why didn't Why weren't the

0:25:56.800 --> 0:26:00.639
<v Speaker 1>cops called in that moment, especially if there was an injury? Right, So,

0:26:00.720 --> 0:26:04.320
<v Speaker 1>now we're months later, months down the line, which always

0:26:04.400 --> 0:26:07.800
<v Speaker 1>makes the cop, the police's case a lot harder anyway,

0:26:07.800 --> 0:26:10.240
<v Speaker 1>because you don't really have the evidence that you had before.

0:26:10.760 --> 0:26:12.640
<v Speaker 1>You're not right there on the scene where people are

0:26:12.680 --> 0:26:16.919
<v Speaker 1>fresh with their memories. Um. So, I mean, and I

0:26:16.960 --> 0:26:19.280
<v Speaker 1>also think anytime you have someone in the press living

0:26:19.320 --> 0:26:23.320
<v Speaker 1>their best life and someone's like, now you're out there

0:26:23.320 --> 0:26:25.320
<v Speaker 1>living your best life and you try to shoot me, No,

0:26:28.320 --> 0:26:31.400
<v Speaker 1>it's a little damper on things. Yeah, that's a good

0:26:31.400 --> 0:26:36.360
<v Speaker 1>way of putting it. Yeah, boy, I mean all right, well, Dmitri,

0:26:36.440 --> 0:26:39.680
<v Speaker 1>do you have any final questions? Real quick? Is there

0:26:39.680 --> 0:26:41.880
<v Speaker 1>any has there ever been in a case where you're

0:26:41.920 --> 0:26:45.240
<v Speaker 1>representing somebody and you're like, I cannot touch this. I'm

0:26:45.280 --> 0:26:49.000
<v Speaker 1>not doing this for either moral reason or you and

0:26:49.000 --> 0:26:50.760
<v Speaker 1>you don't have to tell us what it was. But

0:26:51.080 --> 0:26:52.840
<v Speaker 1>is the one where you're just like, I'm out of here.

0:26:53.560 --> 0:26:56.959
<v Speaker 1>I've I've actually had to let go of clients because

0:26:57.080 --> 0:27:01.399
<v Speaker 1>I felt like they were they were the problem. Um

0:27:01.400 --> 0:27:03.879
<v Speaker 1>in a lot of situations. Yeah, it was. It just

0:27:03.960 --> 0:27:07.640
<v Speaker 1>kind of became clear that like, this is you. This

0:27:07.800 --> 0:27:14.200
<v Speaker 1>is not right now, It's not me, it's you. Um.

0:27:14.280 --> 0:27:16.119
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, and you know, I'm really lucky. I have

0:27:16.240 --> 0:27:18.720
<v Speaker 1>my own firm and I started it because I want

0:27:18.720 --> 0:27:20.719
<v Speaker 1>to work with people I love and I believe in.

0:27:20.760 --> 0:27:23.000
<v Speaker 1>I work with a lot of artists and um and

0:27:23.080 --> 0:27:27.280
<v Speaker 1>producers who want to change the world, and there for

0:27:27.320 --> 0:27:31.280
<v Speaker 1>the most part, really good people. So I kinda I'm

0:27:31.320 --> 0:27:33.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm lucky to be able to sort of pass on

0:27:33.680 --> 0:27:35.880
<v Speaker 1>people that that I'm like, yeah, you're not. Like. There

0:27:35.960 --> 0:27:38.400
<v Speaker 1>was one guy. Remember I can say this because he's

0:27:38.480 --> 0:27:41.680
<v Speaker 1>not a client, but I just remember like the first

0:27:41.720 --> 0:27:44.280
<v Speaker 1>phone call we had, he was just going like he

0:27:44.320 --> 0:27:47.520
<v Speaker 1>had a temper problem. He was just kind of like

0:27:47.640 --> 0:27:49.800
<v Speaker 1>it was it was bad, And I was like, I'm

0:27:49.840 --> 0:27:52.000
<v Speaker 1>I can see what I'm going to be dealing with

0:27:52.119 --> 0:27:57.080
<v Speaker 1>for months and no, thank you. It's really cool. Yeah,

0:27:57.400 --> 0:28:00.600
<v Speaker 1>no one could pay you enough. They're just people. No

0:28:00.680 --> 0:28:03.840
<v Speaker 1>one can pay be enough. Yeah, well I don't have

0:28:03.920 --> 0:28:05.879
<v Speaker 1>a law degree, but you could pay me enough to

0:28:05.920 --> 0:28:09.000
<v Speaker 1>do nothing for you. Mitro, will you wrap me? You're

0:28:09.040 --> 0:28:12.960
<v Speaker 1>so cool? I love it. I love comedians. I have

0:29:22.080 --> 0:29:25.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, my favorite part of the Amber heard Johnny

0:29:25.200 --> 0:29:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Depp trial is listening to him how oh like you

0:29:28.840 --> 0:29:30.640
<v Speaker 1>know she threw a bottle at his finger and the

0:29:30.680 --> 0:29:32.720
<v Speaker 1>tip cut off, and then he mixed you with blood

0:29:32.800 --> 0:29:35.680
<v Speaker 1>and pain and then started like drawing on the walls

0:29:35.880 --> 0:29:39.040
<v Speaker 1>penis and then then like I love you. Hey, whatever

0:29:39.120 --> 0:29:43.000
<v Speaker 1>right because it doesn't no, But I'm like this sounds

0:29:43.040 --> 0:29:47.480
<v Speaker 1>like some Billy Bob Thornton, Angelina Jolie bullshit where they're like,

0:29:47.520 --> 0:29:51.040
<v Speaker 1>we're having vials of blood with each other's names on

0:29:51.080 --> 0:29:52.920
<v Speaker 1>them and a piece of rice and the necklace and

0:29:52.960 --> 0:29:54.800
<v Speaker 1>I threw it in the backyard and now it doesn't

0:29:54.800 --> 0:29:56.400
<v Speaker 1>know where it is. And then when you look up

0:29:56.440 --> 0:29:59.640
<v Speaker 1>what happened. Billy Bob Thornton and Amber Heard were shooting

0:29:59.640 --> 0:30:01.960
<v Speaker 1>a movie together, and that is what calls the drama.

0:30:02.160 --> 0:30:04.760
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, see, I knew it. Billy Bobb is

0:30:04.800 --> 0:30:11.160
<v Speaker 1>somehow Billy Bob is the problem. Why isn't he testifying? Yeah, alright, guys,

0:30:11.200 --> 0:30:12.760
<v Speaker 1>I think let's take a little quick break before we

0:30:12.800 --> 0:30:15.560
<v Speaker 1>bring on our next guests. What do you think? Dmitri agree?

0:30:16.240 --> 0:30:18.960
<v Speaker 1>I love that for us, guys, don't commit any crimes.

0:30:19.640 --> 0:30:35.440
<v Speaker 1>See in a minute. Hey, hello everyone, and welcome back

0:30:35.480 --> 0:30:37.800
<v Speaker 1>to Real Time Crime. I'm your host Lee Lamar, and

0:30:37.800 --> 0:30:44.000
<v Speaker 1>I have with me sometimes Dmitri what's up. Wow. Dmitri

0:30:44.120 --> 0:30:46.360
<v Speaker 1>is thrilled to be here today. I just want to

0:30:46.360 --> 0:30:50.000
<v Speaker 1>get to the next guest. I'm excited. Okay, okay. Our

0:30:50.200 --> 0:30:54.720
<v Speaker 1>next guests are Ben Crompton and Alex where So. So.

0:30:55.360 --> 0:30:58.600
<v Speaker 1>They're both producers on this new incredible show called ABC's

0:30:58.760 --> 0:31:01.720
<v Speaker 1>Who Do You Believe, which comes out May third. That's

0:31:01.720 --> 0:31:04.280
<v Speaker 1>when it airs. Okay, So, Who Do You Believe is

0:31:04.480 --> 0:31:07.840
<v Speaker 1>a new series that features simultaneous storytelling to take viewers

0:31:07.840 --> 0:31:12.000
<v Speaker 1>through compelling true crime cases from dual perspectives, and in

0:31:12.120 --> 0:31:14.720
<v Speaker 1>each episode, the audience steps into the shoes of two

0:31:14.760 --> 0:31:18.560
<v Speaker 1>contrasting narratives to hear the recounts directly from the victims

0:31:18.760 --> 0:31:22.680
<v Speaker 1>and criminals with never before revealed details. Then the viewer

0:31:22.720 --> 0:31:25.760
<v Speaker 1>plays armchair detective to deduce and piece together different versions

0:31:25.800 --> 0:31:30.960
<v Speaker 1>of the truth. This sounds almost like a comedy, but

0:31:31.160 --> 0:31:35.640
<v Speaker 1>it's not. This is real, okay, So, because we all

0:31:35.680 --> 0:31:37.720
<v Speaker 1>know that there are always two sides to every story,

0:31:37.760 --> 0:31:39.720
<v Speaker 1>and there's no telling how far one would go for

0:31:39.760 --> 0:31:43.560
<v Speaker 1>their marriage, child, their way of life. Within this unique

0:31:43.560 --> 0:31:47.160
<v Speaker 1>storytelling format, every episode culminates by revealing key details from

0:31:47.160 --> 0:31:50.160
<v Speaker 1>the adjudicated cases, leaving you to question, who do you

0:31:50.400 --> 0:31:57.280
<v Speaker 1>Believe and it's being produced by Line Pictures and in

0:31:57.400 --> 0:32:01.640
<v Speaker 1>association with Walt Disney and and Ben Crompton is one

0:32:01.680 --> 0:32:05.560
<v Speaker 1>of the executive producers, and Alex Wereso is the showrunner

0:32:05.560 --> 0:32:08.440
<v Speaker 1>and EPs, and we have them both with us here

0:32:08.480 --> 0:32:12.840
<v Speaker 1>today and I'm really excited to chat with them. Hello,

0:32:13.480 --> 0:32:20.560
<v Speaker 1>how are you, Alex? I'm fantastic And I think Ben, Hello, Ben,

0:32:21.440 --> 0:32:23.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, nice to meet you. Very nice to

0:32:23.600 --> 0:32:29.720
<v Speaker 1>meet that accent. Okay, so, gentlemen, we've already introduced you,

0:32:30.080 --> 0:32:32.800
<v Speaker 1>so we're going to go right into it because we're

0:32:32.800 --> 0:32:35.240
<v Speaker 1>so excited to hear more about who do you believe

0:32:36.040 --> 0:32:39.320
<v Speaker 1>and about your careers in general. And for those who

0:32:39.360 --> 0:32:42.080
<v Speaker 1>may not be as familiar with you both, can you

0:32:42.120 --> 0:32:44.960
<v Speaker 1>tell us a little bit about how you got excited

0:32:44.960 --> 0:32:49.640
<v Speaker 1>about the true crime genre? M M yeah, I mean

0:32:50.280 --> 0:32:53.880
<v Speaker 1>it's a good question. I think truth crime is is

0:32:54.360 --> 0:32:56.640
<v Speaker 1>a really exciting space and has been for the last

0:32:56.720 --> 0:33:01.440
<v Speaker 1>decade right on all platforms. And what I think we

0:33:01.560 --> 0:33:04.640
<v Speaker 1>particularly liked it at Lime when we were looking at

0:33:04.680 --> 0:33:07.719
<v Speaker 1>the genres as with the development team, was like, we

0:33:07.840 --> 0:33:10.520
<v Speaker 1>love stories. When we were really trying to put ourselves

0:33:10.560 --> 0:33:14.400
<v Speaker 1>into people's heads, not necessarily in you know, interested in

0:33:14.440 --> 0:33:18.200
<v Speaker 1>the the facts or the intricacies of the evidence, but

0:33:18.280 --> 0:33:22.160
<v Speaker 1>more like how how these people went through their experiences,

0:33:22.160 --> 0:33:25.000
<v Speaker 1>like what was actually going through their head when something

0:33:25.080 --> 0:33:27.880
<v Speaker 1>crazy happens or something bad happens, and you know, how

0:33:27.880 --> 0:33:30.880
<v Speaker 1>did they rationalize what was happening and then also how

0:33:30.880 --> 0:33:34.200
<v Speaker 1>did they experience it versus how the other side experienced it.

0:33:34.320 --> 0:33:36.840
<v Speaker 1>So we love true crying, but I think we felt

0:33:36.840 --> 0:33:39.720
<v Speaker 1>like we really wanted to get inside people's heads more

0:33:40.040 --> 0:33:42.040
<v Speaker 1>than what we're finding on on you know, lots of

0:33:42.080 --> 0:33:45.080
<v Speaker 1>shows that were involved in um so that's what kind

0:33:45.080 --> 0:33:47.560
<v Speaker 1>of led to the development of this show. That's how

0:33:47.600 --> 0:33:49.680
<v Speaker 1>we kind of started the process on it. We wanted

0:33:49.720 --> 0:33:51.800
<v Speaker 1>to actually speak to people on both sides of a

0:33:51.840 --> 0:33:56.160
<v Speaker 1>crime and find out what what their experiences was in full,

0:33:56.440 --> 0:34:00.320
<v Speaker 1>without being influenced by what the verdict was. I think

0:34:00.360 --> 0:34:03.160
<v Speaker 1>that's that's brilliant because um, well, everybody wants to play

0:34:03.200 --> 0:34:05.280
<v Speaker 1>arms to our quarterback, but it's brilliant to to bring

0:34:05.360 --> 0:34:07.000
<v Speaker 1>up both sides. Because we were just talking about the

0:34:07.080 --> 0:34:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Johnny Depp and for heard thing and people said, oh,

0:34:09.520 --> 0:34:12.319
<v Speaker 1>you know, people have many have said, oh, they're both

0:34:12.360 --> 0:34:14.640
<v Speaker 1>at fault, they're both crazy and they're both this, but

0:34:14.840 --> 0:34:16.680
<v Speaker 1>what it's what's interesting is to sit there and look

0:34:16.719 --> 0:34:19.839
<v Speaker 1>at Okay, well, yes they both did this, but did

0:34:19.880 --> 0:34:22.239
<v Speaker 1>this happen first? And then you gotta put yourself in

0:34:22.280 --> 0:34:24.279
<v Speaker 1>their shoes. If this was happening to me, how would

0:34:24.280 --> 0:34:27.200
<v Speaker 1>I react? Would I then do something crazy? Because you're

0:34:27.200 --> 0:34:30.440
<v Speaker 1>just so it's it's interesting to see how things unfold

0:34:30.640 --> 0:34:32.040
<v Speaker 1>and look at it that way. So I think that's

0:34:32.040 --> 0:34:33.799
<v Speaker 1>a great idea, and that's kind of what our show

0:34:33.960 --> 0:34:36.920
<v Speaker 1>is too. But putting those two perspective side by side.

0:34:36.960 --> 0:34:40.680
<v Speaker 1>So when Johnny Depp makes an accusation about what happened

0:34:40.680 --> 0:34:44.040
<v Speaker 1>that one night, we then play Amber heard right up

0:34:44.080 --> 0:34:47.760
<v Speaker 1>against him and she responds exactly, and we do them separately.

0:34:47.800 --> 0:34:49.800
<v Speaker 1>All our interviews are done separately. But I don't know

0:34:49.800 --> 0:34:51.680
<v Speaker 1>if you've had a chance to to look at the show,

0:34:51.719 --> 0:34:54.120
<v Speaker 1>but we had this device where all of our master

0:34:54.320 --> 0:34:56.319
<v Speaker 1>wide shots they kind of make up a half of

0:34:56.320 --> 0:35:00.200
<v Speaker 1>a room, so symmetrically, when you piece them together, looks

0:35:00.239 --> 0:35:02.400
<v Speaker 1>like they're in the same room, which creates this interesting

0:35:02.400 --> 0:35:05.399
<v Speaker 1>effect of having them in the same room but they're not.

0:35:05.880 --> 0:35:08.839
<v Speaker 1>But you get these outsized reactions, you know, as if

0:35:08.880 --> 0:35:10.920
<v Speaker 1>the other person wasn't listening to them, but for the

0:35:10.960 --> 0:35:14.120
<v Speaker 1>audience subconsciously, it kind of puts them together. And I

0:35:14.160 --> 0:35:17.160
<v Speaker 1>like playing with with that device. Um and I think

0:35:17.160 --> 0:35:19.400
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of what's going on in a lot of

0:35:19.440 --> 0:35:22.400
<v Speaker 1>these criminal cases. And you know, who do you actually

0:35:22.400 --> 0:35:25.080
<v Speaker 1>believe is at the root of what you're thinking? But

0:35:25.120 --> 0:35:28.440
<v Speaker 1>we're bringing that in the forefront and kind of simplifying

0:35:28.760 --> 0:35:32.880
<v Speaker 1>the format. Two, it's not you know, detectives with cops

0:35:32.920 --> 0:35:35.560
<v Speaker 1>and this and that. It's two voices primarily for most

0:35:35.600 --> 0:35:38.000
<v Speaker 1>of these episodes, and it's just their opinions, and it's

0:35:38.080 --> 0:35:41.279
<v Speaker 1>bringing their sides of the story to life. Um. And

0:35:41.320 --> 0:35:45.799
<v Speaker 1>we have dual perspective p o vs in recreation that

0:35:45.840 --> 0:35:49.319
<v Speaker 1>we're playing around. Split screen is as well. UM. So

0:35:49.360 --> 0:35:52.200
<v Speaker 1>the split screen thing is is imperative to our show

0:35:52.280 --> 0:35:56.800
<v Speaker 1>and um kind of takes from that those court trial

0:35:56.880 --> 0:36:03.360
<v Speaker 1>things you know. Um yeah, scream scenes very metaverse. But okay,

0:36:03.400 --> 0:36:07.160
<v Speaker 1>So has there been anything that has surprised you about

0:36:07.160 --> 0:36:09.520
<v Speaker 1>the show, anything that you learned you you thought you

0:36:09.600 --> 0:36:13.400
<v Speaker 1>might not, for example, where you actually decided that you

0:36:13.440 --> 0:36:16.560
<v Speaker 1>really were citing with the criminal instead of the victim,

0:36:16.800 --> 0:36:21.360
<v Speaker 1>or are all these cases very um equally matched in

0:36:21.400 --> 0:36:23.680
<v Speaker 1>a sense or does it feel like there are some

0:36:23.800 --> 0:36:25.880
<v Speaker 1>that are very lops We tried to make them all

0:36:25.880 --> 0:36:28.000
<v Speaker 1>equally matched, and that was one of the criteria for

0:36:28.160 --> 0:36:31.480
<v Speaker 1>picking a story. You know, can I actually believe this person?

0:36:31.520 --> 0:36:35.040
<v Speaker 1>If somebody's story was so unbelievable or they didn't believe

0:36:35.080 --> 0:36:37.040
<v Speaker 1>in their own story, they did not make the cut

0:36:37.160 --> 0:36:40.400
<v Speaker 1>for our show. Um, that was very important that you

0:36:40.440 --> 0:36:43.239
<v Speaker 1>actually could go along for that ride. You know, in

0:36:43.360 --> 0:36:47.880
<v Speaker 1>one act you're believing that Charity is correct, and the

0:36:47.920 --> 0:36:49.920
<v Speaker 1>next act you're like, oh, now she's a liar. It's

0:36:49.960 --> 0:36:52.680
<v Speaker 1>definitely Marcus who's telling the truth. And I love going

0:36:52.719 --> 0:36:57.520
<v Speaker 1>back and forth, right what kind of crimes? It properly

0:36:57.960 --> 0:37:00.279
<v Speaker 1>pinballs back and forth, And that's what we willed to

0:37:00.280 --> 0:37:04.040
<v Speaker 1>really play with. And it's also not just who you believe,

0:37:04.160 --> 0:37:06.799
<v Speaker 1>it's also who do you relate to the most? And

0:37:06.880 --> 0:37:09.799
<v Speaker 1>who's who's a response to a certain situation, did you

0:37:10.120 --> 0:37:12.040
<v Speaker 1>did you understand the most? I think viewers go on

0:37:12.040 --> 0:37:14.759
<v Speaker 1>a real journey in there. It's not just their allegiances

0:37:14.800 --> 0:37:17.160
<v Speaker 1>tested as they try to decide who is right and wrong.

0:37:17.480 --> 0:37:20.400
<v Speaker 1>You know that it is their allegiance, you know, tested

0:37:20.400 --> 0:37:22.920
<v Speaker 1>as to who they like the most. At certain scenarios

0:37:23.000 --> 0:37:25.640
<v Speaker 1>and and whose head they can get in the most.

0:37:25.760 --> 0:37:28.279
<v Speaker 1>So you know, it's it's been fascinating. It is a

0:37:28.320 --> 0:37:31.960
<v Speaker 1>proper journey, and it does feel completely different and unexpected

0:37:32.360 --> 0:37:35.840
<v Speaker 1>pre each episode. And what types of primes do you feature?

0:37:36.120 --> 0:37:38.279
<v Speaker 1>Lots of different times. I don't want to tell you

0:37:38.320 --> 0:37:41.120
<v Speaker 1>all of them, but some of them are more domestic disputes.

0:37:41.160 --> 0:37:42.879
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to give away the endings. There are

0:37:43.400 --> 0:37:46.279
<v Speaker 1>a good share of murders, but nothing's too like gruesome.

0:37:47.040 --> 0:37:50.200
<v Speaker 1>A good share of murders, good share of murders. You know,

0:37:50.239 --> 0:37:55.000
<v Speaker 1>we're aiming for like fifty umme party. But it's it's

0:37:55.000 --> 0:37:57.160
<v Speaker 1>ABC prime time, you know, so we don't want to

0:37:57.160 --> 0:38:01.720
<v Speaker 1>get to too gory to you heavy you know. Um,

0:38:01.560 --> 0:38:04.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying that murder is not heavy. It's always

0:38:04.480 --> 0:38:08.640
<v Speaker 1>pretty heavy. Um what else can I say? There's a

0:38:09.520 --> 0:38:14.120
<v Speaker 1>conservatorship battle in episode to all of the um Britney

0:38:14.160 --> 0:38:18.120
<v Speaker 1>Spears case. This one is with Michelle Nichols, who was

0:38:18.160 --> 0:38:23.719
<v Speaker 1>the first African American UM actress on Star Trek the

0:38:23.760 --> 0:38:28.279
<v Speaker 1>original series with Robert Chattner, Robert Chatner, Richard what's his name,

0:38:29.200 --> 0:38:34.759
<v Speaker 1>Willie chat Robber or somebody else. Yeah, Um, so there's

0:38:34.800 --> 0:38:37.960
<v Speaker 1>a conservator ship. Um, a couple of murders. I don't

0:38:37.960 --> 0:38:42.040
<v Speaker 1>want to give away the first one, I think, I think,

0:38:42.080 --> 0:38:44.719
<v Speaker 1>I mean what the reason why we don't want to

0:38:44.719 --> 0:38:47.640
<v Speaker 1>give anything away is the kind of whole point of

0:38:47.680 --> 0:38:51.160
<v Speaker 1>this show is we want everything to be reset at

0:38:51.239 --> 0:38:54.239
<v Speaker 1>the top of the episode and you meet two parties,

0:38:54.360 --> 0:38:57.120
<v Speaker 1>and then over the course of that episode, the story

0:38:57.200 --> 0:39:00.920
<v Speaker 1>will unfold and your legences will be tested, and you know,

0:39:00.960 --> 0:39:03.040
<v Speaker 1>we really do want it to feel unexpected. And you know,

0:39:03.160 --> 0:39:06.120
<v Speaker 1>is that it's saying we do explore murder from two sides.

0:39:06.600 --> 0:39:09.919
<v Speaker 1>We explore conservative ship, we have some theft in there,

0:39:10.000 --> 0:39:13.120
<v Speaker 1>we have some interesting black moil for us. It's a

0:39:13.160 --> 0:39:16.920
<v Speaker 1>really interesting way to kind of fit different crime and

0:39:17.040 --> 0:39:21.160
<v Speaker 1>crime adjacent stories into this format framework and see how

0:39:21.160 --> 0:39:24.920
<v Speaker 1>it pays out. Do you struggle at all putting that together? So,

0:39:25.000 --> 0:39:27.440
<v Speaker 1>for instance, like a lawyer would say, I'm a public

0:39:27.440 --> 0:39:29.560
<v Speaker 1>defending I'm defending this person, but in their head they

0:39:29.600 --> 0:39:32.680
<v Speaker 1>know they're guilty. Do you have trouble putting these together

0:39:32.760 --> 0:39:35.919
<v Speaker 1>and maybe thinking I'm gonna make this person look too

0:39:35.920 --> 0:39:37.759
<v Speaker 1>good or I don't want them to look as good

0:39:37.760 --> 0:39:40.120
<v Speaker 1>because they're clearly the ones obviously you're trying to go

0:39:40.160 --> 0:39:42.400
<v Speaker 1>down the middle because you want people to to kind of,

0:39:42.480 --> 0:39:44.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, like you said, play armature quarterback and make

0:39:44.640 --> 0:39:46.640
<v Speaker 1>their own decisions. But do you struggle with that and

0:39:46.880 --> 0:39:48.719
<v Speaker 1>putting it together? A do, And it's something we get

0:39:48.760 --> 0:39:51.040
<v Speaker 1>a lot of development on before we got to the

0:39:51.040 --> 0:39:52.960
<v Speaker 1>stage of pitching it actually, because you know, there are

0:39:53.120 --> 0:39:55.920
<v Speaker 1>many shades are right or wrong. Clearly some people are

0:39:56.000 --> 0:39:59.359
<v Speaker 1>right and some people are wrong, but we're not we're

0:39:59.400 --> 0:40:02.080
<v Speaker 1>not cast as versions on that. When we're not as

0:40:02.120 --> 0:40:05.320
<v Speaker 1>producers pointing out what is right right and what is wrong,

0:40:05.560 --> 0:40:08.120
<v Speaker 1>we are allowing them to air their truth, the truth

0:40:08.160 --> 0:40:12.080
<v Speaker 1>that they experienced it, how they experienced it, and eventually

0:40:12.520 --> 0:40:15.000
<v Speaker 1>the truth, the truth will catch up with them. And

0:40:15.040 --> 0:40:16.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, in the later part of the episodes, we

0:40:16.960 --> 0:40:18.840
<v Speaker 1>have the verdict and we have the you know, the

0:40:18.880 --> 0:40:22.120
<v Speaker 1>results of the adjudication. So you know, we're not really

0:40:22.120 --> 0:40:24.840
<v Speaker 1>were What we really want to explore is that people's

0:40:24.880 --> 0:40:28.640
<v Speaker 1>own perspectives and logical experiences, they skew their own version

0:40:28.640 --> 0:40:30.520
<v Speaker 1>of the truth, but that's their version of the truth.

0:40:30.719 --> 0:40:34.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, they fully believe that, and then it's down

0:40:34.040 --> 0:40:37.600
<v Speaker 1>to the viewers to deduce whether they believe any part

0:40:37.600 --> 0:40:42.759
<v Speaker 1>of that. Really, it's down to them. I have a

0:40:42.760 --> 0:40:48.000
<v Speaker 1>million more questions, right, but I mean I want to

0:40:48.040 --> 0:40:50.840
<v Speaker 1>ask you more about true crime, obviously, but I just

0:40:50.880 --> 0:40:56.560
<v Speaker 1>want to quickly pivot and ask a very selfish question. Um, Alex,

0:40:56.600 --> 0:40:59.759
<v Speaker 1>I know that you were an EP and showrunner on

0:41:00.120 --> 0:41:06.840
<v Speaker 1>Lea Remini Scientology in the Aftermath Soil series. I'm wondering

0:41:07.239 --> 0:41:11.120
<v Speaker 1>where did you guys receive any threats from Scientology? Um?

0:41:11.160 --> 0:41:15.720
<v Speaker 1>A lot of letters, Um, a lot of letters telling

0:41:15.760 --> 0:41:18.360
<v Speaker 1>us not to But did I I never myself felt

0:41:18.360 --> 0:41:22.920
<v Speaker 1>physically threatened. Um. There was a couple occasions where there

0:41:22.920 --> 0:41:24.919
<v Speaker 1>may have been somebody outside of my house and going

0:41:24.920 --> 0:41:30.320
<v Speaker 1>through my trash and things like that, but UM, you know, nothing,

0:41:30.440 --> 0:41:32.759
<v Speaker 1>nothing too intense of what some of those people on

0:41:32.800 --> 0:41:35.440
<v Speaker 1>that show have experienced. The amount of fair game that

0:41:35.960 --> 0:41:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Scientology has opposed on these people is brutal when ripped

0:41:40.160 --> 0:41:43.360
<v Speaker 1>those families apart. So I'm very grateful that none of

0:41:43.360 --> 0:41:45.839
<v Speaker 1>that has happened to me and they haven't come after

0:41:45.880 --> 0:41:48.719
<v Speaker 1>me full force. But it was the original showrunner on

0:41:48.760 --> 0:41:51.480
<v Speaker 1>that show, and yeah, it was a it was a

0:41:51.520 --> 0:41:54.840
<v Speaker 1>tough decision. One season was was enough for me. Um.

0:41:55.000 --> 0:41:57.640
<v Speaker 1>They didn't, you know, make an attack page attacking me?

0:41:57.800 --> 0:42:02.719
<v Speaker 1>Thankfully knock on wood, there's still time. Um. Yeah, I

0:42:02.719 --> 0:42:04.600
<v Speaker 1>was kind of putty. Would you be hesitant there? I

0:42:04.640 --> 0:42:06.759
<v Speaker 1>was in a bunch of that that first season, and

0:42:06.800 --> 0:42:09.359
<v Speaker 1>they were kind of following us around and they would

0:42:09.360 --> 0:42:11.919
<v Speaker 1>show up at airports when we were there and they'd

0:42:11.920 --> 0:42:15.040
<v Speaker 1>have the p I s waiting for us, and you know,

0:42:15.200 --> 0:42:17.880
<v Speaker 1>they would a lot of It's just intimidation, but not

0:42:18.040 --> 0:42:22.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot of bite behind the park. Would you be

0:42:22.239 --> 0:42:24.319
<v Speaker 1>hesitant to do something like that again? Yeah, I feel

0:42:24.320 --> 0:42:26.000
<v Speaker 1>like I've already done that. I have a family now,

0:42:26.239 --> 0:42:30.680
<v Speaker 1>and I feel like I escaped unscathed, and I think

0:42:30.719 --> 0:42:32.960
<v Speaker 1>that's a good thing. Um, I've done that. I've told

0:42:33.000 --> 0:42:37.000
<v Speaker 1>those stories to tell other stories, but my heart is

0:42:37.000 --> 0:42:41.439
<v Speaker 1>still with those those victims. Wow. Okay, well we won't

0:42:41.480 --> 0:42:45.520
<v Speaker 1>press too much on that and we'll just pivot real fast,

0:42:45.880 --> 0:42:49.760
<v Speaker 1>Ben Alex, do you guys have a favorite true crime story?

0:42:49.840 --> 0:42:51.960
<v Speaker 1>And I put favorite in air quotes because it's like,

0:42:52.080 --> 0:42:55.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, how can you have a favorite story about murder?

0:42:55.400 --> 0:42:58.280
<v Speaker 1>But do you have a case that you are super

0:42:58.320 --> 0:43:00.839
<v Speaker 1>passionate about or something that really threw you into true

0:43:00.840 --> 0:43:04.560
<v Speaker 1>crime in the first place. Mmm, I notice. I mean

0:43:04.600 --> 0:43:06.600
<v Speaker 1>the lead remedy thing is what kind of got me

0:43:06.680 --> 0:43:09.280
<v Speaker 1>in that space, and it's kind of true crime adjacent.

0:43:09.360 --> 0:43:12.879
<v Speaker 1>I had never done true crime before. I did more

0:43:12.960 --> 0:43:17.680
<v Speaker 1>kind of British experimental social experiment shows like Undercover Boss

0:43:17.680 --> 0:43:21.279
<v Speaker 1>and Wife Swap, more more formatted kind of stuff. Um,

0:43:21.320 --> 0:43:23.640
<v Speaker 1>but I always wanted to do more serious stuff. I mean,

0:43:23.680 --> 0:43:26.160
<v Speaker 1>I saw that Alex give Me Going Clear thing and

0:43:26.239 --> 0:43:30.160
<v Speaker 1>it seemed like a incredible new world to discover. And

0:43:30.200 --> 0:43:32.239
<v Speaker 1>that's that's one of my favorite parts about producing, is

0:43:32.280 --> 0:43:35.560
<v Speaker 1>just learning about new world and immersing yourself in that.

0:43:35.800 --> 0:43:39.440
<v Speaker 1>And true crime offers a lot of that. You know, um,

0:43:39.560 --> 0:43:43.040
<v Speaker 1>people from all different kinds of socio economic backgrounds, and

0:43:43.080 --> 0:43:45.960
<v Speaker 1>to get to know those people in their circumstances and

0:43:46.239 --> 0:43:49.200
<v Speaker 1>tell their stories is an interesting part for me. But

0:43:49.239 --> 0:43:51.279
<v Speaker 1>now there's no one that really sticks out. I guess

0:43:51.360 --> 0:43:55.200
<v Speaker 1>the Natalie Holloway case. I did a series on Natalie

0:43:55.239 --> 0:43:58.680
<v Speaker 1>Holloway when Oxygen first launched into true crime, and I

0:43:58.719 --> 0:44:01.160
<v Speaker 1>got to know they've all the way pretty well, spent

0:44:01.480 --> 0:44:04.600
<v Speaker 1>a year with him as he searched for his daughter,

0:44:04.880 --> 0:44:10.040
<v Speaker 1>so that one kind of emotionally unattached to Ben. Do

0:44:10.080 --> 0:44:13.040
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm I'm less of a true crime

0:44:13.160 --> 0:44:15.239
<v Speaker 1>fanatic in the sense that I you know, I don't

0:44:15.320 --> 0:44:18.360
<v Speaker 1>track stories. I watch good great docks. You know, I

0:44:18.400 --> 0:44:21.400
<v Speaker 1>love the stuff that raw do. I love in The Swindler.

0:44:21.600 --> 0:44:23.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, I love going back to the Impostor, which

0:44:24.000 --> 0:44:25.880
<v Speaker 1>is like a decade ago. You know, I love a

0:44:25.960 --> 0:44:30.719
<v Speaker 1>great version of storytelling. Um, you know, true crime story.

0:44:30.760 --> 0:44:33.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm I'm raptured by all of the stories

0:44:33.239 --> 0:44:34.960
<v Speaker 1>that everyone else are talking about. I've been watching a

0:44:35.000 --> 0:44:38.120
<v Speaker 1>hell of a lot of Johnny Depp and versus Amber Heard.

0:44:38.360 --> 0:44:42.080
<v Speaker 1>I find it just fascinating and kind of you know,

0:44:42.520 --> 0:44:47.480
<v Speaker 1>um interesting, how he is enacting himself and court and

0:44:47.520 --> 0:44:49.480
<v Speaker 1>how that process is all working out. But you know,

0:44:49.680 --> 0:44:51.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm really drawn. I what I really like is that

0:44:52.440 --> 0:44:55.719
<v Speaker 1>the way that the production community are telling true crime

0:44:55.760 --> 0:44:57.719
<v Speaker 1>stories and the way that they're telling them. So I'm

0:44:57.719 --> 0:44:59.799
<v Speaker 1>a big fan more of the format behind a lot

0:44:59.800 --> 0:45:02.759
<v Speaker 1>of that. You know. What I find is maddening is

0:45:02.880 --> 0:45:05.400
<v Speaker 1>um which is nice that you guys are doing this

0:45:05.440 --> 0:45:07.719
<v Speaker 1>with your show and showing different things, but stuff like

0:45:08.440 --> 0:45:13.040
<v Speaker 1>the the just laying Maxwell because Ley Maxwell and stuff. No,

0:45:13.200 --> 0:45:15.400
<v Speaker 1>there's no cameras, isn't We're just left out here to

0:45:15.480 --> 0:45:18.399
<v Speaker 1>speculate what's happening, right, Johnny Depp and never heard we're

0:45:18.440 --> 0:45:22.080
<v Speaker 1>getting full on, like all this stuff. It's maddening that

0:45:22.160 --> 0:45:25.839
<v Speaker 1>there's stuff that's not not to put one crime over another,

0:45:25.880 --> 0:45:28.200
<v Speaker 1>but one of them, in my opinion, is more serious

0:45:28.200 --> 0:45:30.360
<v Speaker 1>because it affects a lot of people, that affects children

0:45:30.440 --> 0:45:33.360
<v Speaker 1>as underage, and yet we we can't know and I

0:45:33.400 --> 0:45:35.560
<v Speaker 1>understand that that's part of that, but we don't know

0:45:35.719 --> 0:45:37.319
<v Speaker 1>enough about what's going on, and it just kind of

0:45:37.320 --> 0:45:40.160
<v Speaker 1>fades away. But this Johnny Depp, we're getting six weeks

0:45:40.160 --> 0:45:44.319
<v Speaker 1>straight up of a bad marriage. Yeah. I'm starting to

0:45:44.320 --> 0:45:48.440
<v Speaker 1>think there's a merged store outside the courtroom. Yeah. I

0:45:48.480 --> 0:45:51.120
<v Speaker 1>also think, you know, so much of it is about

0:45:51.160 --> 0:45:54.040
<v Speaker 1>the process of court. So much of it is just

0:45:54.160 --> 0:45:58.799
<v Speaker 1>an answer to, uh, you know, a defense question. It

0:45:58.880 --> 0:46:02.480
<v Speaker 1>doesn't I'm not really I'm getting snippets of responsive. I'm

0:46:02.520 --> 0:46:04.880
<v Speaker 1>not really able to build a full picture. And you know,

0:46:04.880 --> 0:46:07.640
<v Speaker 1>it kind of goes back to what I like about

0:46:08.080 --> 0:46:10.239
<v Speaker 1>some great crime docs and what we're trying to do

0:46:10.280 --> 0:46:11.840
<v Speaker 1>with our show as well. There's like I want to

0:46:11.880 --> 0:46:13.719
<v Speaker 1>hear the full story. I don't want to keep being

0:46:13.800 --> 0:46:16.799
<v Speaker 1>interrupted by a lawyer saying, let's hearsay, you know, just

0:46:16.920 --> 0:46:18.520
<v Speaker 1>let me just hear it, let me understand it and

0:46:18.520 --> 0:46:21.960
<v Speaker 1>get inside their head and what they experienced. Um. And

0:46:21.960 --> 0:46:24.720
<v Speaker 1>I also think it's it's more accessible to the Johnny

0:46:24.760 --> 0:46:27.560
<v Speaker 1>Depp amber heard stuff even have you know, domestic violence

0:46:27.600 --> 0:46:31.920
<v Speaker 1>is and a like subject, But compared to the um

0:46:32.239 --> 0:46:35.279
<v Speaker 1>Giselle Maxwell stuff, that stuff gets really dark and really

0:46:35.320 --> 0:46:37.640
<v Speaker 1>heavy and that stuff. You know, I don't know how

0:46:37.719 --> 0:46:39.640
<v Speaker 1>much time you can emotionally invest in that kind of

0:46:39.640 --> 0:46:42.480
<v Speaker 1>stuff day after day, you know. In being producing a

0:46:42.520 --> 0:46:44.239
<v Speaker 1>lot of true crime stuff, it wears on you. I

0:46:44.239 --> 0:46:46.879
<v Speaker 1>don't know if anybody talks about that, but it's it's

0:46:46.880 --> 0:46:48.719
<v Speaker 1>hard to to shake some of these stories when you

0:46:48.760 --> 0:46:50.560
<v Speaker 1>come home and you want something a little bit lighter.

0:46:50.600 --> 0:46:53.120
<v Speaker 1>So I think most people that I know who actually

0:46:53.120 --> 0:46:55.279
<v Speaker 1>make true crime don't like to watch it when they

0:46:55.280 --> 0:46:59.320
<v Speaker 1>go home. Um, it's it's it's a lot so that stuff,

0:46:59.320 --> 0:47:02.480
<v Speaker 1>like what you too, It's just it's more entertainment, you know.

0:47:02.520 --> 0:47:05.279
<v Speaker 1>And I think our show kind of falls in that

0:47:05.320 --> 0:47:09.360
<v Speaker 1>line to where, yeah, it's it's still murder and stuff,

0:47:09.400 --> 0:47:13.279
<v Speaker 1>but it's not as intense, all encompassing. I can't go

0:47:13.360 --> 0:47:17.719
<v Speaker 1>to sleep that night, you know, Yeah, what do you

0:47:17.760 --> 0:47:19.719
<v Speaker 1>do when you go home? Like, if you've had a

0:47:19.760 --> 0:47:22.480
<v Speaker 1>long day of producing something that's super heavy and and

0:47:22.560 --> 0:47:24.279
<v Speaker 1>you feel so you said you'd like to kind of

0:47:24.360 --> 0:47:25.719
<v Speaker 1>move away from it. What do you do when you

0:47:25.800 --> 0:47:27.799
<v Speaker 1>go home? Do you watch a certain show? Do you

0:47:28.320 --> 0:47:30.160
<v Speaker 1>what do you do to kind of get that feel

0:47:30.760 --> 0:47:33.319
<v Speaker 1>kiss off of you to spend some of your kiss

0:47:33.360 --> 0:47:36.080
<v Speaker 1>my little baby girl. And that's what I do. I

0:47:36.080 --> 0:47:38.640
<v Speaker 1>spend time with my family and try not to think

0:47:38.760 --> 0:47:41.320
<v Speaker 1>or discuss work and stuff. My wife also works in

0:47:41.360 --> 0:47:44.120
<v Speaker 1>the business, because she's always interested about what I'm doing.

0:47:44.120 --> 0:47:46.360
<v Speaker 1>But the last thing I want to do sometimes is

0:47:46.600 --> 0:47:48.640
<v Speaker 1>is talking about murder again when I've been talking about

0:47:48.640 --> 0:47:52.560
<v Speaker 1>it all day long. Um, so funny, I'm the opposite.

0:47:52.640 --> 0:47:56.680
<v Speaker 1>But I also don't have a family or anyone who

0:47:56.680 --> 0:47:58.520
<v Speaker 1>loves me here, so it doesn't really matter. It's just

0:47:58.680 --> 0:48:02.200
<v Speaker 1>me talking to me, So she's just talking about murder,

0:48:02.239 --> 0:48:04.279
<v Speaker 1>whether someone's in the room or not. It's basically where

0:48:04.320 --> 0:48:07.840
<v Speaker 1>that comes down to. Yeah, and Ben, do you have

0:48:07.880 --> 0:48:10.279
<v Speaker 1>a routine for watching selling Sunset? I do have a

0:48:10.360 --> 0:48:12.719
<v Speaker 1>lovely family, and I kissed them on the foreheads as well,

0:48:12.719 --> 0:48:14.879
<v Speaker 1>and then I watched Selling sunset for maybe an hour.

0:48:16.840 --> 0:48:20.240
<v Speaker 1>And that's my that's my general's fisher. We we produce

0:48:20.280 --> 0:48:23.040
<v Speaker 1>a lot of reality as well a lot of entertainment format.

0:48:23.120 --> 0:48:27.600
<v Speaker 1>So luckily I'm not one buried in the true crime world. Um,

0:48:27.960 --> 0:48:32.200
<v Speaker 1>and so I have other events, which is great, and

0:48:32.320 --> 0:48:35.480
<v Speaker 1>a family. Yeah, so if you guys could bring up

0:48:35.480 --> 0:48:42.760
<v Speaker 1>your families one more time. Yeah, hey you guys, I'm married,

0:48:42.800 --> 0:48:47.239
<v Speaker 1>I have four kids, so yeah, alright, alright, guys, I

0:48:47.280 --> 0:48:49.480
<v Speaker 1>got it. Okay, But as soon as we're done here,

0:48:49.480 --> 0:48:51.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go kiss my kids and you know, tell

0:48:51.160 --> 0:48:53.959
<v Speaker 1>him I love you. So but Leah's going to a visa,

0:48:54.080 --> 0:48:55.800
<v Speaker 1>so don't don't make it seem like she doesn't have

0:48:55.840 --> 0:48:58.080
<v Speaker 1>anything going on. She's going to Europe for like a month.

0:48:58.440 --> 0:49:01.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh I know. Well because they don't have a family,

0:49:01.440 --> 0:49:04.520
<v Speaker 1>so yeah, um, you know the trade offs. But okay,

0:49:04.560 --> 0:49:08.239
<v Speaker 1>So your show airs on May third on ABC. It's

0:49:08.280 --> 0:49:11.080
<v Speaker 1>called Who Do You Believe? And do either of you

0:49:11.200 --> 0:49:14.160
<v Speaker 1>have anything you want to share about the show that

0:49:14.480 --> 0:49:17.000
<v Speaker 1>we may not have covered, or anything that might surprise

0:49:17.120 --> 0:49:19.920
<v Speaker 1>viewers or excite them that we didn't get to talk

0:49:19.960 --> 0:49:24.160
<v Speaker 1>about today, or anything anything any final notes about the show.

0:49:24.320 --> 0:49:26.680
<v Speaker 1>I think every every episode is different. You know, every

0:49:26.680 --> 0:49:29.279
<v Speaker 1>episode there's one special two part of but every every

0:49:29.280 --> 0:49:33.840
<v Speaker 1>episode is its own true crime story or dispute um.

0:49:33.880 --> 0:49:37.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, it is told from the two central perspectives involved,

0:49:37.560 --> 0:49:39.759
<v Speaker 1>and it's fascinating and we can't wait to hear what

0:49:39.760 --> 0:49:41.920
<v Speaker 1>people think about it. You know what. I like the

0:49:41.960 --> 0:49:45.480
<v Speaker 1>idea that debates will continue after they have watched the episode.

0:49:45.480 --> 0:49:48.919
<v Speaker 1>You know, people will still have questions after they've seen

0:49:48.920 --> 0:49:52.000
<v Speaker 1>the verdict and after they've heard both sides um. The

0:49:52.040 --> 0:49:53.920
<v Speaker 1>other thing I will say is that it's incredibly brave

0:49:54.000 --> 0:49:57.160
<v Speaker 1>for both sides to, you know, appear on something like this.

0:49:57.640 --> 0:50:00.640
<v Speaker 1>We found from responses from the been involved that it's

0:50:00.640 --> 0:50:03.080
<v Speaker 1>also a really cathartic experience for them. Is they're able

0:50:03.120 --> 0:50:07.160
<v Speaker 1>to fully air their perspective and get a right to

0:50:07.200 --> 0:50:10.880
<v Speaker 1>apply to some of those opposing, contrasting perspectives that they

0:50:10.880 --> 0:50:13.279
<v Speaker 1>didn't get a chance to do before. So I think

0:50:13.320 --> 0:50:15.920
<v Speaker 1>I'll be interested to hear what they think. That's one

0:50:15.960 --> 0:50:18.600
<v Speaker 1>of the most challenging parts of actually getting people to

0:50:18.640 --> 0:50:20.799
<v Speaker 1>participate in the show. We're up front that the other

0:50:20.840 --> 0:50:24.080
<v Speaker 1>side is going to have their equal airing, and oftentimes

0:50:24.520 --> 0:50:26.759
<v Speaker 1>this is their mortal enemy in life and knowing that

0:50:26.800 --> 0:50:29.440
<v Speaker 1>they're going to have the rights to reply scares a

0:50:29.440 --> 0:50:31.120
<v Speaker 1>lot of people away and they don't want the other

0:50:31.160 --> 0:50:34.520
<v Speaker 1>side to have their opinion aired. So that's been a

0:50:34.600 --> 0:50:36.920
<v Speaker 1>challenge with the people, to de Ben's point who have

0:50:36.960 --> 0:50:39.319
<v Speaker 1>agreed to do it, have been been brave and I

0:50:39.320 --> 0:50:41.800
<v Speaker 1>feel like we're we're giving them each a fair shakes

0:50:41.880 --> 0:50:46.960
<v Speaker 1>as much as we can. Yeah, I can see that,

0:50:46.960 --> 0:50:48.759
<v Speaker 1>and I can see that. Do you have problems with

0:50:48.840 --> 0:50:54.319
<v Speaker 1>lawyers wanting stuff out? No? No, yeah, um, but so

0:50:54.400 --> 0:50:56.120
<v Speaker 1>but you what you're saying about in the courtroom, you

0:50:56.160 --> 0:50:59.360
<v Speaker 1>were saying that, you know, you're always being interrupted and

0:50:59.400 --> 0:51:01.719
<v Speaker 1>there is here say that. But that's they've got to

0:51:01.760 --> 0:51:03.840
<v Speaker 1>feel good about that, because that's gotta be frustrating for

0:51:03.880 --> 0:51:06.320
<v Speaker 1>them as well when they understand, oh I didn't say correctly,

0:51:06.360 --> 0:51:09.160
<v Speaker 1>oh this person so they can just sit down and

0:51:09.200 --> 0:51:10.799
<v Speaker 1>tell their side of the story. So I can see

0:51:10.800 --> 0:51:12.880
<v Speaker 1>how there's a lot of stuff that goes on behind

0:51:12.880 --> 0:51:15.960
<v Speaker 1>the scenes to corroborate, you know, the things that they're saying,

0:51:16.080 --> 0:51:20.000
<v Speaker 1>and in legal documents and in other ways. Um, but yeah,

0:51:20.040 --> 0:51:22.560
<v Speaker 1>there are certainly as any true crunch, there's lots of

0:51:22.640 --> 0:51:27.600
<v Speaker 1>legal landlines to navigate through. Yeah, but you're right though,

0:51:27.640 --> 0:51:29.319
<v Speaker 1>it's that and it's not just went that what went

0:51:29.360 --> 0:51:32.640
<v Speaker 1>down in court, it's also you know, how the case

0:51:32.840 --> 0:51:35.600
<v Speaker 1>was reported, and you know what their family or their

0:51:35.640 --> 0:51:38.040
<v Speaker 1>community that the kind of the nuggets of the case

0:51:38.040 --> 0:51:40.239
<v Speaker 1>that they've held onto that they want to finally have

0:51:40.280 --> 0:51:42.719
<v Speaker 1>a chance to kind of rebuff or they want to

0:51:42.719 --> 0:51:45.600
<v Speaker 1>have a chance to respond to something that's kind of

0:51:45.640 --> 0:51:47.719
<v Speaker 1>been a shadow over them for a long time. So

0:51:48.239 --> 0:51:50.959
<v Speaker 1>it is it isn't you know, fascinating to see how

0:51:51.040 --> 0:51:54.080
<v Speaker 1>their story has evolved and how good they feel after

0:51:54.120 --> 0:51:57.440
<v Speaker 1>they've been able to fully air in. Can I just

0:51:57.480 --> 0:52:00.279
<v Speaker 1>say Legal land Mines is the best name for show

0:52:00.400 --> 0:52:05.719
<v Speaker 1>for lawyers who've had difficult cases, Alex, I mean, I'd

0:52:05.719 --> 0:52:09.319
<v Speaker 1>love to come on as a creative story producer. Just

0:52:09.400 --> 0:52:15.439
<v Speaker 1>let me know I'm available for hire, And I will say, also, Ben,

0:52:15.520 --> 0:52:18.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, I noticed that you were one of the

0:52:18.120 --> 0:52:22.360
<v Speaker 1>EPs on Ease Dating No Filter. If you haven't noticed,

0:52:22.400 --> 0:52:24.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't have a family, I'm very lonely and I

0:52:24.320 --> 0:52:26.440
<v Speaker 1>have no filter. So if there's a season to just

0:52:26.640 --> 0:52:32.919
<v Speaker 1>let me know. We cast like it was really fun,

0:52:33.040 --> 0:52:35.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, having a comedic commentary on top of dates

0:52:35.360 --> 0:52:37.879
<v Speaker 1>dates always funny, you know. So yeah, it's a very

0:52:37.880 --> 0:52:40.480

0:52:40.480 --> 0:52:44.080
<v Speaker 1>and have a family. That's all I'll say. Dating is

0:52:44.120 --> 0:52:47.239
<v Speaker 1>no longer fun. I'm not having fun. No one's having fun.
