1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:02,120
Speaker 1: Can if I am six forty.

2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: It is the John Cobelt Show. Mark Thompson sitting in

4
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: and gas prices are insane already in California, as you know,

5
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,600
Speaker 1: getting more insane with everything going on in the Middle East.

6
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,760
Speaker 1: From gas buddy, Matt McClain joins us to help sort

7
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: this out a bit.

8
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 2: Hi, Matt, how's it going so?

9
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: Matt? Uh? You know it already stinks in California to

10
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: be paying more than anywhere else in the entire nation.

11
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 1: What is happening with gas prices and what are the

12
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: realities concerning where they're going to be going given what's

13
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: happening in the Middle East.

14
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 2: Man, I wish I had better news for you right

15
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 2: now four ninety nine a gallon. That's the statewide average

16
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 2: for California. Los Angeles County is sitting at four eighty nine.

17
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 2: That is up seventeen point six since just since yesterday,

18
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 2: thirty seven point six cents since last week, fifty nine

19
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: cents a gallon since last month. On this particular time,

20
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 2: I highly expect that California is a statewide average will

21
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 2: top five dollars a gallon before midnight tonight. We have

22
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 2: seen prices increasing across the country in a very staggering pattern.

23
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 2: In fact, nationwide gas prices on average are up eleven

24
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 2: cents a gallon just in the past twenty four hours

25
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 2: and forty two cents for the past week. And that

26
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 2: straight of hormuz. That's the main issue, the main culprit,

27
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 2: and it is becoming a very sincere problem, and the

28
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 2: longer it stays closed, unfortunately, the worst it's going to get.

29
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: Well, just because you mentioned it, I'll focus on that

30
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: for a second. Then I want to double back to

31
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: what we're paying in California versus the rest of the country.

32
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: But the straight up hormones, the problem can be really

33
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: so tough to short out because even if tankers aren't

34
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: attacked and that is being threatened without question, the insurance

35
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: rates I guess for these tankers to go through now

36
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: they're up five hundred percent, I mean literally, just they

37
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: can't afford to go through the straightformers. And then there's

38
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: even the notion that there can be mining of the strait.

39
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: There can be all kinds of attacks now that are threatened,

40
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: and just the threat essentially creates the logjam.

41
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 2: That is the unfortunate aspect, And you're exactly right, and

42
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 2: I can actually add to that a little bit. We're receiving,

43
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 2: obviously word from some of those Middle Eastern countries a

44
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 2: part of OPEC and OPEC plus that their storage tanks

45
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 2: are basically full. They're ramping down production because they've gotten

46
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: no place to store the oil simply because there are

47
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 2: no tankers that can pull up to port and begin

48
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 2: loading the oil. So this doesn't have a quick ending.

49
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 2: Even if the conflict ended tonight and things we waved

50
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,399
Speaker 2: a magic wand and things went back to some sort

51
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 2: of sense of normalcy, we could not unwind the straight

52
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 2: of hoorn moves issues overnight. It will take days, and

53
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 2: quite a few of them, just to begin seeing things

54
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 2: roll out. And that's just a role play. I don't

55
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 2: expect that to happen. You probably don't either. It's going

56
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: to be a while, and the longer it stays closed,

57
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,399
Speaker 2: I'm getting genuinely very concerned.

58
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: So where does that leave us in California? And in fact,

59
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: just you talked about the increase in prices here in California.

60
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: You talked about the increase in prices elsewhere, are we

61
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: seeing greater increases here than elsewhere. I saw something yesterday

62
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: that suggested that actually the rest of the country, you see,

63
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: I mean again, these are all modest amounts, but the

64
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: rest of the country was actually paying a bit more.

65
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: They'd seen a slight increase beyond what we've seen in California.

66
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 2: Correct, And I wouldn't necessarily feel lucky, obviously, and you're

67
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 2: not alluding to that, but at five bucks a gallon,

68
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: I wouldn't call that a good deal no matter what

69
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: it is. But the reality, yes, California has gone up

70
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 2: just a little little bit less than maybe the rest

71
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 2: of the country. So take for example, today was up

72
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 2: eleven cents nationwide, but in California it went up a

73
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 2: seventeen point seven Since nation wide over the past week

74
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 2: on average, forty two point four cents, back to California

75
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 2: we go, and just within the past week thirty seven

76
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 2: point seven cents. So it's a very moot point, and

77
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 2: you're catching up quickly. I do expect that you will

78
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 2: overall catch up quickly. In fact, just as you and

79
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 2: I have been talking, we've added another fraction of a

80
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 2: penny to the price point, and you're only seven tenths

81
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 2: away from being five bucks a gallon on average. And

82
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 2: that's literally live as we're talking.

83
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: Matt McLain from a gas buddy watching it, I guess

84
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 1: in real time even as we're talking. All right, So

85
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: now let's talk about some of the things that could

86
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: happen to take the prices down. You can, I guess.

87
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: I'll let you start, and then I know what I've read,

88
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: but you really know this base better than anyone. Go ahead.

89
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 2: The very best thing that could happen would be to

90
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 2: open up the straight up or moves. Unfortunately, lead there's

91
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 2: just simply not a lot else there. Now, I do

92
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 2: want to preface this and balance out the comments by

93
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 2: simply saying, because we've been asked this an awful lot.

94
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 2: Will America experience shortages and other aspects when it comes

95
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 2: to fuel, that's really not in the cards overall for

96
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 2: our country. We get such a small amount of oil

97
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 2: from the Middle East, somewhere between seven to ten percent,

98
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 2: maybe on a good week twelve or thirteen percent. But

99
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 2: the reality the vast majority of our oil supplies come

100
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 2: from domestic produced oil or our friends in Canada or Mexico.

101
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 2: We really are not going to run into a supply issue.

102
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 2: But because the crude oil pricing is are on a

103
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 2: global scale and traded in UF dollars, that's where we

104
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 2: start running into a bit of a different situation all

105
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 2: the way around. And it's why because we're having such

106
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 2: an upset over in the Middle Eastern area that it's

107
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 2: creating a huge intake as far as the price points go,

108
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 2: and everyone across the globe is going to be paying

109
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 2: royalty for this. And I hate to say it, but

110
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 2: five dollars a gallon is going to look very cheap

111
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 2: to some other places like Asia, which gets the vast

112
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 2: majority of their oil from the Middle East.

113
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: Wow. Wow, I mean there is the ripple effect, as

114
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: you say, man in this country, could you see something

115
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: along the lines of what you saw Biden do, which

116
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: was release all of these strategic reserve.

117
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 2: It's really not going to help. We don't have a

118
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 2: supply issue. What we have is a price issue, and

119
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 2: more oil out on the market isn't going to help that.

120
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 2: We're we are completely satisfied with our oil production needs domestically.

121
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 2: We're having no issues. If if God forbid, an oil

122
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 2: pipeline burst, maybe the strategic petroleum reserve might be able

123
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 2: to step in, or we had some sort of other

124
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 2: issue that would create a hiccup in our oil supply

125
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 2: that would make a great reason to tap the Strategic

126
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 2: Petroleum Reserve. But there's really no way to just hop

127
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 2: on in there and try to decrease the price by

128
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 2: adding more oil to the system. We have plenty of product,

129
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 2: plenty of ability to refine it, and the price of

130
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 2: oil is why things are going up, not because of

131
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 2: a supply issue.

132
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,679
Speaker 1: So this sort of gets to the essence of how

133
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: oil and the drill baby drill thing works. The oil

134
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: goes out onto the world market and then it is

135
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: sold at whatever the oil is sold for per.

136
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 2: Barrel correct, And there's a couple of different exchanges, one

137
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 2: West Texas Intermediate that's handled in the New York Exchange,

138
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 2: and then we have the brink crude handled in the

139
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 2: European Exchange. And usually there is a slight difference between

140
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 2: the two exchanges when it comes to crude oil. But

141
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 2: now we're starting to see a slight demand on the

142
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 2: West Texas Intermediate because well countries need oil, and so

143
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 2: when you can't get it from the Middle East, there

144
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 2: are other avenues. One of them being the West Texas

145
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 2: intermediate oil and so now we're seeing a higher demand

146
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 2: on that regard. It's not anything that's stressing out the

147
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 2: situation for our own domestic supply, but it is driving

148
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 2: the price point up, and it's really almost in parody

149
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 2: now with the Brink crued out of the European exchange.

150
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: Matt McLain from Gas Buddy, My last question is, as

151
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: you game it out, and I know you do, how

152
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: high could the price actually go in California.

153
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 2: There are times where it's really wise to try to

154
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 2: game it out and create projections. I have had well

155
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 2: over one hundred and fifty television and radio interviews this week.

156
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 2: Patrick Dahan has as well, independently from those accounts that

157
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 2: I've given you what I have been saying consistently across

158
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 2: the board, conflicts are very volatile, and you don't know

159
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 2: how it ends until it ends. We don't know what

160
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 2: the missiles are, where the missiles are going to land

161
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 2: today until they land, and so it's really not wise

162
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 2: as an analyst to try to get out in there

163
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 2: and start projecting way off into the distance because the

164
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 2: amount of scenarios that it could roll or at that

165
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 2: particular point, it would basically be like putting a blindfold

166
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 2: on and trying to throw a dart at the dartboard

167
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 2: and hopefully hitting the bulls eye, and it's probably not

168
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 2: going to happen. I'm not even good without a blindfold,

169
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 2: So we don't really want to go back direction. The

170
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 2: reality that we want to look at, though, is kind

171
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 2: of an integral analysis. I should say, the immediate past

172
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 2: in the conflict. So when we say that on average

173
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 2: gas prices across the nation are about to hit three

174
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 2: point fifty to three seventy a gallon, we feel concrete

175
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 2: about that right now in the ongoing conflict because we

176
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 2: are basing that prediction upon the immediate past, the past

177
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 2: twenty four forty eight seventy two hours, and we feel

178
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 2: very confident about that. But tomorrow we don't know where

179
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 2: the missiles are going to go to create any additional

180
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 2: havoc at this point, Well.

181
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: Matt, I would say you're a help, and then you're

182
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: really not much of a help, is what I would say.

183
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 2: Matt. Now, I did radio for twenty seven years, so

184
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 2: I mean, here we are.

185
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: We'll be in touch. That is the one certainty. Matt

186
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 1: McClain from guess, buddy, thanks for joining us today on KOFI.

187

188
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: All right, when we come back, it's a bizarre story.

189
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: The registered sex offender who's been making your headlines nationally

190
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: announcing a run for Fresno City Council. The paperwork just

191
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: got filed. We'll tell you that story next. Mark Thompson

198
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: sitting in. Have you seen this controversy that's racking Hollywood. Yeah,

199
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:51,439
Speaker 1: they're two parallel controversies. My friends. We are getting to

200
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: awards season so that when a controversy crops up, it

201
00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: can have the ripple effect of affecting voting or the

202
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: many awards that are presented during the holiday season. During

203
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 1: the award season, I should say the star of the

204
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: Oscar nominated film Hamnet, a film that I can state

205
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: with confidence as you listen to me now you have

206
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:17,719
Speaker 1: not seen.

207
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 4: I say that I haven't seen it.

208
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: No, because I don't know anybody who's seen it.

209
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 4: I haven't seen any movie.

210
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 1: Have any I haven't either. No, no, no. And I'm

211
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 1: making fun because I think it's one of those films

212
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: that I just feel like it's not super mainstream, but

213
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: it's Look, it's Oscar nominated. It must be great. I'm

214
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 1: sure everybody has it on their list of things to do.

215
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: Maybe not. Anyway, the star is Jesse Buckley, and again

216
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: this is an Oscar nominated film and Jesse Buckley. You

217
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: know how they do these interviews. It's all part of

218
00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: really the what would you call it is that ablicity

219
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: tour that they're on yet. Okay, so publicity tour around

220
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: both promoting the film and trying to get it out

221
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: there a bit, and also to curry favor with many

222
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: who might be again during this award season, voting for

223
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: one award or another, not the least of which is

224
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: sort of those who are in the Academy and are

225
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: voting on for the Oscar. So anyway, she apparently doesn't

226
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: like cats, or had a bad interaction with her husband's cats,

227
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: and she joked this is in a podcast that she

228
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: forced her husband to get rid of his two cats.

229
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 1: She claimed that one cat staged a coup by poohing

230
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: on her pillow, prompting her to say, quote, it's me

231
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: or the cats.

232
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 4: And what did the husband say?

233
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: Well, I guess they're married, so.

234
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 4: Oh no, the cats. The cats are gone.

235
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: Well, she's saying she despite this controversy, and you can

236
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: imagine the cat community bit back with some fervor that

237
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: she is still a lover of cats. She said this

238
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: to deal with the backlash, I need to clarify something

239
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: for all cat lovers, she said. I am a lover

240
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: of cats. I woke up this morning to the world

241
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: thinking I really don't love cats, and it really weighed

242
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: on me all day. I felt sick. I want to

243
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: just tell cat people there's been misconceptions because of an

244
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: interview that I did that asked me if I was

245
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: a dog or a cat person. By the way, to

246
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: be fair to her, I hate that question. Why do

247
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: you have to be a dog or a cat person?

248
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: It's absurd. It really is just absolute. It's like one

249
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: more way that we divide ourselves. Why do I have

250
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: to be dog or cat?

251
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 5: Because I think there are not a lot of people

252
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 5: that have dogs and cats.

253
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 4: Cobel does.

254
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 5: He has a dog in the cat you have, you're

255
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 5: a cat. I don't want to say you're a cat person.

256
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 1: No, we have cats, but we had a dog with

257
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: the cats. But now the dog dies, so now it's

258
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: just you.

259
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 4: Okay.

260
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 5: I have never had a cat because I'm allergic, but

261
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 5: I like that it has nothing to do with not

262
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 5: like cats.

263
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then you get Eric, who that that hate

264
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: is based on what Eric, Well, when I was a kid, See,

265
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: I knew there was an incident would go ahead. What

266
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: was it?

267
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 6: I was my parents would take me to a daycare

268
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 6: so they could go to work and stuff. When I

269
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 6: was young and couldn't go to school whatever. I was

270
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 6: probably like three years old. This daycare had a lot

271
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 6: of cats, and me, being the curious three year old,

272
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 6: decided to pull one of the tails of the cat.

273
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: Okay, well then I know what I was doing. Okay, No,

274
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: I'm not blaming you, but I'm.

275
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 4: Just saying, you don't pull the cat's tail.

276
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: You can't blame the cat for the reaction. Turn the

277
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: cat turns around and swipes me. Of course, what would

278
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:00,040
Speaker 1: you what?

279
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 6: He was traumatized Okay, alright, traumatized. I read a poem

280
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 6: in third grade I hate cats. Oh my god. Wow,

281
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 6: well that's just uh look, no, I thought this actress

282
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 6: was in trouble.

283
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: I think Eric could be in trouble. Team dog all

284
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: the way. All right, Well again, I don't think you

285
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: should have to choose between one and the other. But

286
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: at least you've contextualized your hate, which I but it's interesting.

287
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 6: My Hebrew name means God's lion, so it's like I

288
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 6: have the lion is my favorite animal.

289
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: So it's like it's kind of you're in a tough physician,

290
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: aren't you. You really are lions? Aren't cats? Those are? Those?

291
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: Are those big cats? Okay, all right, but I get it.

292
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: They're not house cats, but they are. Yeah. Uh well,

293
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: I mean apparently Eric hasn't issued his formal apology yet,

294
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: but she has. And uh this actress again from Hamnet

295
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: uh saying look, I am, uh someone who has been misunderstood.

296
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: They're asking me if I They asked me if I

297
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: was a dog or cat person, and I'm thinking I'm

298
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: probably a quarter cat and three quarters dog. Anyway, I

299
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: love cat, and that's fair. She didn't address her comments

300
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: about giving her husband Freddie Sorenson an ultimatum on the cats.

301
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: The interview with her co star in November included the

302
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: comment I don't like cat. Cats are mean my husband.

303
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: When I started dating you, I had two cats. This

304
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: is bad, so I'm going to get canceled. But one

305
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: of the cats was like a pedigree model b So.

306
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 4: How can you say you like cats?

307
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 7: Yeah? And I didn't like him.

308
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: And she continued and she staged like a coup against me.

309
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: I come home and there's just like boo on my pillow,

310
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: and I was like, it's me or the cats. But

311
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,360

334

Speaker 1: Fresno City Council. I mean, it's more than a little

336
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: bit odd. This is a well obviously, you can imagine

337
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 1: him battled guy and mired in this controversy and finally

338
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: decided to come out and face the press. Had kind

339
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: of a series of public remarks today to talk about

340
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: this Fresno race and about the fact that he's a

341
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,199
Speaker 1: registered sex offender running for office, and one of the

342
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 1: ongoing controversies is like, how do you handle the fact

343
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: that you know this is in front of a church

344
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 1: where he's having this thing, and I guess the church

345
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 1: is across from an elementary school and you know you're

346
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 1: not allowing It's it's like, you know who thought this out?

347
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 4: I mean this is he needs to fire his peace.

348
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 7: I build the city of Fresno.

349
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 8: There are certain areas that represent rehabilitation people. This church

350
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 8: has been here for hundreds of years. Forgiveness isn't something

351
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 8: that is just given to you. It is not handed.

352
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 8: You earn it day by day, minute by minute. That's

353
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 8: what I'm doing. I'm not asking, I'm not demanding. I'm saying,

354
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 8: grow with me.

355
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 7: Trust me.

356
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 8: They chose to go on the news and say I

357
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 8: don't belong here, I don't belong in this race.

358
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 7: What type of person doesn't belong here? Today?

359
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:42,239
Speaker 8: I don't belong Tomorrow they don't belong. So what are

360
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 8: we saying? Does the constitution matter anymore? The laws they're

361
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 8: pushing on us. They want us to believe in them.

362
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,640
Speaker 8: You want us to follow them, You follow them. I've

363
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 8: been accountable. Let's hold them accountable.

364
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 1: I got to say you're on thin ice, my friend.

365
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: They're trying to now pass legislation aimed at preventing registered

366
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: sex offenders from holding public office, as you might imagine,

367
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: but again, composts addressing the practice is in front of

368
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: Saint John's Cathedral on Mariposa Street in downtown Fresno. For

369
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: those who know the Fresno area.

370
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 7: Lead by example.

371
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 8: There is another issue that I like to address. All right,

372
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 8: there is something that has publicly been said. How would

373
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,199
Speaker 8: I address the issue of schools. I've never said I

374
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 8: would go to schools. Over the last few days, mothers

375
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 8: have reached out to me angry. I didn't silence them.

376
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 8: I talked with them. They said, how could a person

377
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 8: like you help? I listened, and I said, I can't

378
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 8: fix everything, and I'm not going to promise you the world,

379
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 8: but I.

380
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 7: Can give you the advice I learned. That's the best

381
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 7: I can do.

382
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 1: Okay, the conditions what what? What is the advice?

383
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 8: Though there are California restrictions people must follow within the law,

384
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 8: and I follow the law to.

385
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 1: The letter, what are those constrictions associated with the schools?

386
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 8: Is the fact as of right now, it's the basic

387
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 8: restrictions of California law.

388
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 1: And what are those again, It's going to.

389
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 8: Be the California laws that are restricted to that pinal

390
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 8: code elementary school.

391
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: Okay, there's an elementary school right across the street, is

392
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 1: what the guys saying.

393
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 8: I would say during operational hours. Absolutely, I believe they

394
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 8: are closed right now. I don't see anyone, and I

395
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 8: don't see I don't Yeah.

396
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 1: So the point is, you know, this is a guy,

397
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: by the way, you know, registered sex offender because said

398
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 1: child porn by the way, I don't know if that

399
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 1: was said earlier. So this is why there's a restriction

400
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 1: on him having anything to do with elementary school. But

401
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: the guy has a pressure in front of a church,

402
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 1: which is sort of to suggest, you know, it's about forgiveness,

403
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: it's about moving on. Yeah, well, you can't get any

404
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: closer to that elementary school than you are right now

405
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: because you are legally restricted from doing so because you're

406
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 1: a registered sex offender who had child pornography and you're

407
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: running for political office.

408
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 7: I understand the issue.

409
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 8: However, I called it here because I felt this place

410
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 8: was important. We can't say, we can't say this person

411
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 8: is that person I have rehabilitated, and people can't keep

412
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 8: saying I'm afraid of him. If you keep saying that

413
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 8: you don't believe in rehabilitation, you don't believe in what

414
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 8: you're voting for.

415
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I'll I'm going to call this one now

416
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 1: on Renee Campos in Fresno. Yeah, take this to the

417
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 1: to the to the betting window. Renee Campos will be

418
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: losing in the race for city council in Fresno, I

419
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: would hope. So, yeah, I don't even understand it. I mean,

420
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: if ever you wanted to move on with your life,

421
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: this isn't the way to do it. You've now achieved

422
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 1: notoriety in all the ugliest ways, both here in California

423
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: and across the nation.

424
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 4: What parent is going to want to vote for him?

425
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 1: Thank you? Thank you? And he doesn't even do anything

426
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: to suggest that. You know, somehow he's found a magnetic

427
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: north in his life.

428
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 4: You know, he's been rehabilitated.

429
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: Right exactly, when we continue, I will tell you one

430
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: last controversy as we tie think of This is a

431
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: Hollywood controversy. This is a little less sortid as we

432
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: wrap things up around here. So we'll do it next.

433
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: It's the John coblt Show. Mark Thompson sitting in KFI

434
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.

435
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM sixty.

436
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: John Cobelt's show. He was mentioning before that, you know,

437
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 1: it's an Oscar season and awards season. There's a lot

438
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: of controversy. See it's funny how they yeah, they go

439
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,199
Speaker 1: out and they do these publicity interviews. They have to

440
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: promote the film and they have to promote themselves. It's

441
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: so different than the old days. I think it's become

442
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: almost part of contracts now that when you sign on

443
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: to do the film, doing the film part is just

444
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: a portion of what your obligation will be. You'll need

445
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 1: to go out and do publicity for the film, and

446
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: then if award season comes, you'll want and you know,

447
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: I get it, they have an interest in doing that,

448
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: but there's a contractual obligation now to do it. There's

449
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: a real obligation on the part of actors and performers

450
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: and stars to show up and support the project. So

451
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, this you know, there are a

452
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 1: lot of close races, and you could even argue the

453
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: whole things ridiculous. I mean, how can you compare movies?

454
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 1: I mean, they're pieces of art on one level, right there,

455
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 1: creations that just are so different. How do you compare?

456
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 1: How do you award one over the other? You'd almost

457
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: have to how do you even award best Actor? Wouldn't

458
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 1: the actor have to be in all the different movies

459
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,919
Speaker 1: to really evaluate if they're best at it. I mean, so,

460
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 1: what started as a promotion for Hollywood, which is what

461
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: the Oscars really started as, has turned into, you know,

462
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: something of such great value because it is truly monetizable.

463
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 1: These are awards that you can get big money as

464
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: a result of winning. So all the studios have great

465
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 1: interest in this. And there are many many award ceremonies

466
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: and award events that go into this season. So when

467
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: you look at the Critics Choice Awards and they're the

468
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: Independent Spirit Awards, and then the Oscars, and then the

469
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 1: Golden Globes, you know, and so on, and when an

470
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: actor or a high profile person steps in it, it

471
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: becomes a problem. I told you about the start and

472
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 1: what she got into, and apparently the race for Best

473
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: Actor at the Academy Awards is suddenly turning into one

474
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 1: of the most unpredictable showdowns in memory. They say, for months,

475
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: timoth A's Schallomaye looked unstoppable because of his performance in

476
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:23,719
Speaker 1: Marty Supreme. But now in the final round of voting,

477
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: the mood in Hollywood appears to be shifting. Rivals are

478
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: gaining ground, industry chatter is growing louder, and a quiet

479
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: push among insiders is raising a controversial question. Is the

480
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: industry starting to turn on Timothy's shallow? May? Are you

481
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: turning on Timothy Shallow?

482
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 7: Yeah?

483
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: Turning on it? No, I just like turning on people.

484
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 1: I don't even know why I'm turning on it. The

485
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: truth is that he is so talented, so good. I mean,

486
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 1: he inhabits that that Bob Dylan thing he did kidding

487
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: me phenomenal. The guy is incredible and he truly like

488
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: an actor just so inhabits a role, reinvents himself. It's extraordinary.

489
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: So that's why I say, because I get this at home,

490
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: at least dating a Kardashian, I don't know how you

491
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: can like him because he's dating a car So what

492
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 1: he's He's an young actor in Hollywood. Why shouldn't he

493
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: be dating a Kardashian. Well, She's a Jenner. That's it, right, Okay,

494
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 1: So I'm just if we want to be Samantha samant it.

495
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: So you're saying that that that's a better that's the

496
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: better strain of that group. Well, she's just not a Kardashian. Yeah,

497
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: you're right, she is a Kardashian. I guess what is

498
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 1: argued is why is he someone of such elevated performance

499
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 1: sullying himself with those who are involved in the gossip

500
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: and the kind of that stuff of Hollywood. Have you

501
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: seen what Kylie looks like? That's what I said. I

502
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: said the exact same thing I said, Why shouldn't he

503
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 1: as result of his prowess in acting in show business?

504
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 1: His excellence gives him, you know, four seats at the

505
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 1: Lakers game, and you know the key to her a house.

506
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 6: Well, I mean, if you just think about it like this,

507
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 6: shouldn't the number one IT guy be with quote unquote

508
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 6: the number one IT girl, thank you?

509
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 1: Shouldn't the apex predators of show business hang out together?

510
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 1: It's the way I see it. Well, if you can,

511
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 1: wouldn't mind stopping by the house leader, you could argue

512
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: with my de facto wife about this, say less I'll

513
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: be there anytime for you. Mark. Apparently, his performance in

514
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: Marty Supreme, this is a wildly successful film, positions him

515
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: for this Oscar. He acknowledged his girlfriend Kylie Jenner when

516
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: he was at the Golden Globes, and everybody thought he

517
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: was on track for, you know, the final approach for Oscar.

518
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: But now Michael B. Jordan appears to be in position.

519
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: Sinners has suddenly gained strong backing and it looks as

520
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: though Michael B. Jordan, who won Best Actor at the

521
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 1: Actors Awards, may be the one who'll get the coveted statue.

522
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. His public remarks also have gotten him

523
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: into trouble last thing, because this is sort of the

524
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: cancelation of Hollywood. It's what he said about ballet and opera.

525
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: We're talking about the endurance of film, okay, And in

526
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: so doing he kind of said, Wow, I'd rather be

527
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: in film than like in ballet or opera. Members of

528
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: the ballet and opera community would differ. He said, I'm glad.

529
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: I admire people and I've done it my myself. Who

530
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: go and say we've got to keep movie theaters alive.

531
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: We've got to keep this genre alive. And then he

532
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: was kind of talking about I guess with the in

533
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: the Matthew McConaughey podcast or conversation, he said, I don't

534
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: want to be working in ballet or opera or things

535
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: where it's like, hey, keep this thing alive, even though

536
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: like no one cares about this anymore. So he was

537
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: suggesting ballet and opera is kept alive, but it's essentially

538
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: two art forms that are not valued. Well, Hollywood is

539
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: filled with actors and performers and others who feel tied

540
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: to the arts and they're not happy. So it's the

541
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: thinking that Oscar voting may not favor him as a

542
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: result of these remarks, even though his remarks had nothing

543
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: to do with movies. I mean, really, the Royal Ballet

544
00:30:55,680 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: and Opera countered the actors take in a statement, Ballet

545
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: and opera have never existed in isolation. They said, they've

546
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: continually informed, inspired, and elevated other art forms. Their influence

547
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: can be felt across theater, film, contemporary music, fashion and beyond.

548
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: And it's the way they said it that was so good. Well,

549
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,959
Speaker 1: they're saying, now, look, if you take cheap shots at

550
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: fellow artists, it really reflects negatively on your characters. So

551
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: the way, even that we have elevated him, Eric and

552
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: I both have mad respect for timothay' shalomey. The show

553
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 1: business community could be turning on him. How you could

554
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 1: diminish others who are in the arts. It's simply unacceptable.

555
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: The Berlin based opera performer Dean Murphy even took him on.

556
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: This is a worldwide scandal, my friends, and so it

557
00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: is an Oscar night. If Timothy Shallam doesn't get it,

558
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: you'll know. Maybe not saying it was the only reason,

559
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: but it might be a warm weekend. Awake two and

560
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: strong wins, but it should be a gorgeous southern California weekend.

561
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: So enjoy always love hanging out on the John coblt Show.

562
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:23,680
