WEBVTT 1 00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:15.439 Joe Escalante live from Hollywood. By Hollywood, you mean Burbank across the street 2 00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:20.239 from Wiener Schnitzel. It sells beer. And we are coming to you for 3 00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:25.440 two hours live on KiB eleven fifty on your AM dial with the business end 4 00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:31.359 of show business, like we do every Sunday and today. Oh, there's 5 00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:34.799 a lot of movie stuff heating up, Sam, producer, Sam, you 6 00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:38.719 can hear me right, Yep, we got you out and clear. Okay, 7 00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:41.840 good Sam. You've been in Japan, so you probably didn't see a 8 00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:44.359 lot of movies. No, no, before we go to the movies, 9 00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:48.280 before we go to the movies, you saw on the plane, which I'm 10 00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:50.520 sure you did. Oh yeah, I had a lot of time for that. 11 00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:55.399 You took your just so I'm gonna let you know one time I flew 12 00:00:56.679 --> 00:01:00.439 to Japan without getting out of my seat to go to the bathroom. That's 13 00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:07.640 impressive that there has to be some kind of record where for that. Yeah, 14 00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:10.000 I did it. I did it, and usually that's not me. 15 00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:11.920 But I was just like in the window seat, you know, and there 16 00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:17.680 was two fat people next to me. I just like, you know, 17 00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:21.000 and I hadn't drank that much, so I didn't drink hardly anything on the 18 00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:23.359 flight. Probably not good for me, but I did it. Oh and 19 00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:27.959 I held my breath the entire time too. Just maybe more impressive, but 20 00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:32.400 I really did that. Okay. Anyway, So you're in Japan, just 21 00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:36.319 like a quick review of Japan for a first time visitor with his family. 22 00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:38.799 I'll bet you had a great time. Oh, it was outstanding. And 23 00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:41.159 you know, I went with kids. A lot of times people will go 24 00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:42.799 out there and think Japan, the nightlife and all of the stuff. In 25 00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:48.760 Tokyo. I stayed at one of the Disney hotels over there, and first 26 00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:51.599 off Disney and the tickets. They have two different parks like we do here. 27 00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:55.879 Both of those parks are great and they're like sixty five dollars to get 28 00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:00.840 in. So for people looking for affordable Disney vacation, look at Tokyo. 29 00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:06.480 It's really really nice out there. Tokyo. People have an impression that it 30 00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:14.879 is um completely uh out of reach for for for travelers, like you're going 31 00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:16.639 to get there and the food's going to be too expensive in the hotel and 32 00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:20.520 all that stuff. It's not really true. There's two ways you can do 33 00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:24.960 it. You can you can go eat at the Businessman Salary Man Expense account 34 00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:28.759 restaurants, or you can you can get for five dollars, you can get 35 00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:30.560 the best bowl of ramen you ever had in your life. Yeah. Really, 36 00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:35.000 the food out there is outstanding. They have a lot of different options. 37 00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:39.159 There's a mall right at the train station and where the Disney resort is, 38 00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:43.960 so you can ride the monorail between the parks and the hotel and the 39 00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:46.080 train station that takes you into Tokyo, which is like a ten minute ride. 40 00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:51.240 But the train system out there is outstanding. I loved I loved both 41 00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:55.520 Disney parks. By the way, their version of California Adventure has different flavor 42 00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:00.919 popcorns and people coordinate their schedules based off of the flavor of popcorns they have 43 00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:07.879 there. I saw garlic shrimp popcorn. Ouch, all right, they might 44 00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:10.159 have gone too far. Oh no, I want that out here. That 45 00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:15.479 garlic shrimp popcorn. It wasn't It was flavored like garlic shrimp. It was 46 00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:19.000 delicious. They had curry popcorn. They had a bunch of different flavors of 47 00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:21.680 popcorn. It was outstanding. I want that kind of action out here. 48 00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:23.639 I also went to the San Rio Park the place where they do all the 49 00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:28.719 Hello Kiddie stuff that's about two hours outside of Tokyo. Yeah, it was. 50 00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:30.280 It was. Yeah, I've never been there because it's two hours outside 51 00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:32.479 of Tokyo. Yeah. No, it was great. It was a lot 52 00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:37.360 of fun. Didn't understand a single thing that they were saying in the show. 53 00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:39.360 My kids were totally embarrassed. When, you know, like they do 54 00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:44.000 the live show and the person on the microphone is asking for volunteers and I 55 00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:51.879 raised my hand not speaking a word of Japanese. It was hilarious. I'm 56 00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:54.840 better at that train station than I am at the subway in New York. 57 00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:59.159 Oh. Yeah, easier. It's easier, much easier. And even though 58 00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:01.000 there's even though it's Japanese, it's easier than the subway in New York. 59 00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:04.800 Yeah. Get on that Yamanote line of the Green thing and you can go 60 00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:10.199 anywhere. Yeah. But you saw some movies on the plane. Yeah yeah. 61 00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:13.960 I had eleven hours on the way there. In nine hours on the 62 00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:16.199 way back, I think I watched ten total movies. It was great. 63 00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:19.920 I saw bashes of Innisharon finally that I've been dying to see it, and 64 00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:24.519 I had the chance to finally sit down and watch it. That's a good 65 00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:27.040 one. I'm going to change my story and say it was on the way 66 00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:31.639 back that I was able to not leave my seat for the entire flight, 67 00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:38.439 because that's the shorter one. All right, just clarification. Okay, let's 68 00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:41.319 go with the movies that are in the box office right now. I've seen 69 00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:48.399 a few movies this week, and we have Spider Man across the Spider Verse, 70 00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:57.160 and that's you know, cleaning up. It's a cartoon. So when 71 00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:00.800 I look at it, I'm like, I don't know if I'm gonna get 72 00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:02.519 if I can get that excited at the cartoon. So I haven't seen it, 73 00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:13.240 but it is number one, and the number two was number one last 74 00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:15.399 week. Is a Little Mermaid and now a Little Mermaid. You know, 75 00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:20.439 a Little Mermaid is people I've heard. I was hearing two things about it. 76 00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:26.759 This could be you know, huge, or it could be the New 77 00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:32.279 Cats, depending what trailer you saw. So I went to see it, 78 00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:34.959 and we'll talk about that in a little second. The number three is the 79 00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:40.600 Boogeyman. I didn't see it. Guardians of the Galaxy. I still haven't 80 00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:43.040 seen it. Have you seen it? No? No, I haven't had 81 00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:45.480 a chance to see it. I'm probably gonna go see Spider Man first. 82 00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:49.879 At this point, everybody's going crazy about it, so peep. So people 83 00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:54.560 like in your world, Oh yeah, nerd World, nerd World. Okay, 84 00:05:54.720 --> 00:06:00.480 number five, so number five is fast X. Number six Uper Mario 85 00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:05.000 Brothers with five hundred and sixty six million total in the US. That's one 86 00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:09.360 of those movies where you have to I mean, you know, it's like 87 00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:14.439 young kids they caught the four Quadrants or whatever. Kids, girl kids, 88 00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:18.319 boy kids, adult males, adult females. Everybody likes Super Mario Brothers and 89 00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:24.959 it's and they got a you know, the new attraction at Universal Studios, 90 00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:30.199 so that that's working. About My father with Robert de Niro is at number 91 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:39.600 seven. It's not too too good. Number eight the machine from Sony Pictures. 92 00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:42.360 Number nine, you hurt my feelings, some kind of a twenty four 93 00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:50.240 romcom or something. Conde har h four million total, and number ten, 94 00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:56.240 So let's see into them. Let's go to these I saw because it's all 95 00:06:56.279 --> 00:07:00.079 about me. Really, Okay, we go to my letterbox to film diary 96 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:04.079 Sam, and since we were not live last week, we got to go 97 00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:09.279 back pretty far to all the movies. I saw The Master Gardener. I 98 00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:12.560 don't know if we talked about that last week, but anyway, so it's 99 00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:15.920 a Paul Schrader film. I did talk about that because someone was sitting in 100 00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.199 my seat. I remember that, okay, and then so let's go to 101 00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:23.279 this week's movies. I go see The Little Mermaid, The Little Mermaid. 102 00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:31.040 Five minutes into it, I realized I've never seen The Little Mermaid the original 103 00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:35.920 really never saw it, never saw it. I just assumed I saw it. 104 00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:41.519 I go, of course, I've seen the Little Mermaid, and it's 105 00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:43.920 all I go, what is going on here? This is the Little Mermaid? 106 00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:45.639 I asked my wife. You know, I've never seen this movie. 107 00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:49.360 So anyways, as a first impression for the live action one, I thought 108 00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:54.240 it was really good. I liked it better than the live action Lion King, 109 00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:57.560 which I guess we would compare it to. It's doing better than that 110 00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:03.160 in the box office. And I was just very impressed with the plot. 111 00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:07.079 I never I didn't know all this stuff that's going on. I just heard 112 00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:09.399 like under the Sea, I want to be part of your world, you 113 00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:13.360 know, I hear the songs. I think that movie's for anybody at really 114 00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:18.240 good special effects. The new Little Mermaid is you know, she's a sensation. 115 00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:24.120 She's she's beautiful, and you know that's one of those things where like 116 00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:28.879 this, this girl looks like kids today. You know, she's got this 117 00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:33.519 you know, I guess she's part black or all black. I don't know. 118 00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:35.559 She just looks like you know, most of the kids you see around, 119 00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:37.759 so I'm sure they relate to her better than this weird redheaded one. 120 00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:43.200 How many redheads are there, really, Sam, not much, not anymore. 121 00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:50.440 So I thought a really good choice of casting the newcomer of which I 122 00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:54.440 would call him, that plays the king. He was great and Harvier Bardam. 123 00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:56.399 It's a little silly, but you know, pretty good. You know, 124 00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:01.960 it's really great in at Aquafina. She's great in everything. And the 125 00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:05.440 only thing that was weird, there's only one, like Cringey song that was 126 00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:09.159 kind of catsy, but you get past that one the prince sings it to 127 00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:11.440 himself, or that he's a king. I don't know what's the king of. 128 00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:13.840 And that's the one thing that bug me. What is the what is 129 00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:18.840 he the king of? Stupid? I know that's my favorite of all the 130 00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:22.759 Disney movies, actually, of all the old cartoons. That was one of 131 00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:26.240 my favorites, and that I don't think that song was ever actually in the 132 00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:30.440 original movie. No, it's a new song. Yeah, the song that 133 00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:33.559 he sings, it's there's a couple of new songs. One of them is 134 00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:37.360 pretty good, like Aquafina has a really good song, and that one that 135 00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:39.600 he sings towards the beginning is not very good, but you get past that. 136 00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:43.279 But what is he the king of? Like? What? What? 137 00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:46.759 Why? Would steaks aren't very high? Because if you're not, if you 138 00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:48.559 don't end up as queen of that of that dirt claude with a with the 139 00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:54.519 castle on it, I just don't think, you know who cares find something 140 00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:58.799 else to do. Anyway, I saw Luca since I watched that, and 141 00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:01.039 just that just came up, and I'm okay, he's a sea monster and 142 00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:03.080 he's a kid. I get it, you know what I saw. I 143 00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:07.559 can recommend. Are we out of time? Uh? Yeah? Yeah, 144 00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:09.440 let's go, let's take a break and we'll come back and I'll tell you 145 00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:15.559 a movie I can really recommend you. Joe Scolante Live from Hollywood. Alrighty, 146 00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:20.720 Joe's Scolante Live from Hollywood, the Business End of Show Business every Sunday 147 00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:26.799 from five to seven on k IB and all over the world on iHeartRadio. 148 00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:30.840 So I was talking about the movies I saw this week, and I saw 149 00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:37.799 a Little Mermaid. Definitely recommend that. And on Criterion Channel, I watched 150 00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:48.600 a movie called Winchester seventy three starring Jimmy Stewart and directed by that's this guy's 151 00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:58.639 name, Sam, I forgot what his name is. I mean, it's 152 00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:03.360 this guy, Anthony Man. Anthony Man made a bunch of movies with Jimmy 153 00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:05.039 Stewart, and there's a special and Criterion right now of all the movies that 154 00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:09.159 they made together. And I guess he worked with Anthony Man the director, 155 00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:15.879 because he wanted to change his image from just a lovable nice guy to a 156 00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:22.600 complicated, you know, kind of sometimes villain. So Winchester seventy three is 157 00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:24.799 it's just the Western that I can't believe I never saw because I usually see 158 00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:31.240 all the classic westerns. But so good there. The whole movie is about 159 00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:33.600 this gun, the Winchester seventy three that's so great, you know, no 160 00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:39.080 one will even it's it's a priceless So this town competes as a competition. 161 00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:43.639 If you're the best shot, you can win the Winchester seventy three, the 162 00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:52.720 Priceless Gun, and Jimmy Stewart and his enemy in the movie compete for it. 163 00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:56.480 And then sooner or later, I won't give you the spoiler, you 164 00:11:56.519 --> 00:12:00.720 find out a they have a deep, dark secret in their past and they 165 00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:05.159 are Jimmy Stewart wins the gun, but the other guy steals it, and 166 00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:09.080 so the whole movie is about getting the gun back. And it's set up 167 00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:16.039 against like a Indian Wars of the eighteen seventies, and which are the are? 168 00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:18.240 I think the official name for those wars, sam is the Great Indian 169 00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:26.840 Wars. There's a banner for them in the American Legion Hall in Hollywood that 170 00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:30.679 shows, like all the wars, if you belong to the American Legion, 171 00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:33.120 you can if you're a veteran, you belong to the American Legion. But 172 00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:37.320 if you're a son of a veteran you can become you can be a member 173 00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:41.440 of the Sons of the American Legion. I'm in that, so I go 174 00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:45.440 there a bit. I went there on Memorial Day. They have a big 175 00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:48.559 banner that next to the World War Two Banner and World War One and the 176 00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:52.960 Civil War and then the Great Indian Wars. So it might not be politically 177 00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:56.480 correct, but it's certainly glamorous. So this is about the Great Indian Wars 178 00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:01.399 and the Chief of the Indian the Indians. Can you take a guess of 179 00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:05.200 what kind of actor they got to play the Chief of the Indians? Sam 180 00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:11.480 a very white one. How about Rock Hudson? Who anyone, Wow? 181 00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:16.679 So he's so white, he's gay? Is that's hot? Yeah, that's 182 00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:22.759 pretty hot. So he's like he's he's so he's he's like shirtless if you 183 00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:28.039 want to see shirtless Rock Hudson. He plays an Indian chief. Um that 184 00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:31.399 is, you know, just wreaking havoc on the on the settlers. And 185 00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:39.120 then there's like surprises in it, like uh, Tony Curtis playing a nothing 186 00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:43.879 role as a small bit role as a soldier under the name Anthony Curtis before 187 00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:48.600 he became famous. And then Will Gear, who plays the grandpa on The 188 00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:52.559 Waltons um but twenty five years before he was an old guy in The Waltons, 189 00:13:52.559 --> 00:14:00.320 He was an old guy in this movie. Will Will Gear. Yeah, 190 00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:03.960 he ran a theater off to Panga back in the day the will gear 191 00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:07.600 at theatric and Botanical. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I actually met him 192 00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:11.000 on the set of The Waltons when I was his young boy and my brother 193 00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:16.600 took me to see watch The Waltons get filmed in early seventies and I was 194 00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:20.200 just so amazed by I just sat there and go, I want to make 195 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:24.639 television. This is this is what I want to do, and ended up 196 00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:28.120 doing it. I wasted a little time in the music business, but you 197 00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:35.120 know what, music business, pretty glamorous makes money too. Speaking to the 198 00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:37.279 music business, let's take a detour and talk about the Foo Fighter Sam. 199 00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:43.559 What did they do while you were gone? The Food Fighters were big news 200 00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:48.600 because they announced their new drummer. And you know, Taylor Hawkins passed away 201 00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:54.600 last year, and you know they didn't he was in the band for fifteen 202 00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:58.720 years or something, so no one knew what they were going to do. 203 00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:03.559 They had a memorial two memorial concerts where every drummer in the world played songs 204 00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:09.879 with them, and the winner in the search was mister Josh Freeze, the 205 00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:16.080 drummer of the Vandals. So what this happened in? Yeah, so Josh 206 00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:18.759 Freeze, the drummer of the vandals is now the permanent drummer of the Food 207 00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:24.120 Fighters. Wow. So yeah, while you were dead to the world, 208 00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:28.799 this was big news. It was on network news, it was on all 209 00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:39.440 the papers and the The interesting thing about it, for for you and for 210 00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:43.000 everybody listening, is your humble host Joe Sclante made the deal for him to 211 00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:48.799 join the Food Fighters. Yeah, and I made it back in January. 212 00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:54.200 So I had to keep this secret for like five months. Wow, who's 213 00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:56.879 the drummer? Who's the drummer of the Food Fighters? Who is it? 214 00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:00.519 Who's going to be? Who's who? Do you think it's gonna be? 215 00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:07.480 Josh? I go, I don't know, how would I know? So 216 00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:10.679 sometimes people will ask me to make these deals. I mean I do. 217 00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:15.080 I was a deal maker in television I made I certainly made dozens of deals. 218 00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:17.679 As the owner of a record label with all the artists, I did 219 00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:22.039 all the negotiating, did tons of negotiating and television. I made the deals 220 00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:29.559 for the new the latest addition to Avenged sevenfold, mister Brooks Whackerman. I 221 00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:32.159 made that deal, and that would deal is like this deal, they want 222 00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:33.759 to keep it secret, they want to keep it confidential, so they ask 223 00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:37.639 me because I'm not part of the law firm. I don't have a secretary 224 00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:40.399 that's going to leak it all that kind of stuff. I just do it. 225 00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:45.919 I made the deal for the most recent member of Metallica, mister Robert 226 00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:49.279 Rahel, and so that's a lot of little side business I got gone is 227 00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:55.200 making rockstar deals. And now Josh Freeze. Yeah, so I flew out 228 00:16:55.200 --> 00:17:03.960 to New Hampshire to watch his first show and basking Mike Glory it's all about 229 00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:07.759 me and I got to hang out with everybody, and I've never seen a 230 00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:11.279 guy. These guys fit together so perfectly. And after they played a few 231 00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:15.839 songs, you could just see the looks on the band members faces of like, 232 00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:21.039 wow, did we make the right choice? Yeah, so here's two. 233 00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:22.920 You'll be seeing it if you look on YouTube and stuff like that. 234 00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:26.160 You'll see a lot of salutes and like, he's getting very good reviews. 235 00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:30.680 Everybody them. There were signs up saying Josh, welcome to the Fumile. 236 00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:37.279 I guess it's a fumile And they made a cool intro when they announced it. 237 00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:40.480 They made a video where they had all these clues where they were rehearsing. 238 00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:42.079 But you couldn't see who the drummer was and the rehearsal. But then 239 00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:47.680 people would come in with clues like Tommy Lee walked in with a Vandal shirt 240 00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:52.240 on and some PF Chang's delivery, which is one of Josh Freeze's trademarks is 241 00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:57.440 PF Changs fetish. And then another guy walks in with the poodles. He's 242 00:17:57.480 --> 00:18:00.559 got a bunch of here's your poodles, and then then by then you should 243 00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:03.799 know it's Josh Freeze the poodles and the PF chains and the Vandals shirt. 244 00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:10.319 Um, so there you go now, and people ask it will he still 245 00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:15.359 play with the Vandals? That was what I was because yeah, well, 246 00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:18.200 well well of course he's allowed to because who made his deal? Um. 247 00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:23.359 But we you know, Josh free is always in somethings and stings and the 248 00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:26.680 offsprings and devo. He's in a perfect circle and we kind of just let 249 00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:30.119 him go off and then we use a substitute when he's gone, and then 250 00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:32.799 when he comes back, like if he has any days off and we have 251 00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:37.599 a show, then he plays that kind of stuff. Um. So we'll 252 00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:41.680 be playing July third at the glass House and Pomona for a special Third of 253 00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:48.079 July celebration, and we'll be using the drummer from Avenged Sevenfold because they're not 254 00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:49.839 on tour that day, but the Food Fighters are on tour that day, 255 00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:53.000 so we just kind of pick and choose, and if we run down, 256 00:18:53.599 --> 00:18:57.400 we run out of drummers, then we just don't play. So that's the 257 00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:03.000 big music news. I got other music news. But let's take a break 258 00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:06.319 and we'll come back and we will talk more about the movies and TV and 259 00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:11.759 all that kind of stuff. Joe Scolante Live from Hollywood, Joe Escalante Live 260 00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:15.680 from Hollywood. By Hollywood, you mean Burbank, across the street from a 261 00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:22.519 Wiener Schnitzel that sells beer. Wow, we're continuing on. We're gonna go 262 00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:26.119 back to the movie business. We were talking about Food Fighters because I'm very 263 00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:33.359 excited to have Josh Freeze in the Food Fighters. And yeah, I mean, 264 00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:37.200 what a great group of guys. Just just Chris Shifflet from No Use 265 00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:44.680 for Her Name is in the band. You've got Pat Smear from the Germs. 266 00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:52.720 It's just and then you know Dave Dave girl has been in punk bands, 267 00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:56.200 been in Nirvana. I mean, you know, it's just very cool. 268 00:19:56.000 --> 00:20:00.640 Guy's got a formula for writing rock hits. Doesn't see to be slowing 269 00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:03.480 down. All right, let's go back to the movies. Tom Cruise has 270 00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:07.400 got a problem, Sam. While you were gone, I don't know, 271 00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:11.799 maybe you didn't hear about this, but Oppenheimer. The biggest movies of the 272 00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:21.200 year that have yet to be released maybe Barbie, A Mission Impossible seven and 273 00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:26.720 Oppenheimer from Chris Nolan. Now you've seen Chris Nolan movies, right, yes, 274 00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:33.000 I have. They're those very complicated movies where you watch them and then 275 00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:37.440 you have no idea what the movie was about. Like it was the one 276 00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:41.640 that came out during the pandemic. Tenet was Inception, No no, no, 277 00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:45.279 Tenant Yeah yeah, yeah. Inception is another bizarre one. Yeah, 278 00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:48.640 I mean every yeah, Tenant right in the middle of the I saw it 279 00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:52.400 in the middle of the pandemic, and I was like, what the hell 280 00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:55.759 did I just see? I knew I would need to see it four times 281 00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:56.839 to figure out what was going on there. Every once in a while he 282 00:20:56.880 --> 00:21:00.960 makes a movie where you can tell what's going on, like Harry Styles, 283 00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:07.759 Dunkirk and Interstellar. Almost I almost knew what was going on in that One 284 00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:11.440 Dark Knight. I don't watch those things because I do, and now I 285 00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:15.799 know why. I don't know what's going on if he's making them. But 286 00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:26.720 Oppenheimer is about the guy who developed the nuclear technology behind nuclear bomb, so 287 00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:34.039 that will be fun and cheery, I guess. But he always picks this 288 00:21:34.200 --> 00:21:37.799 one week in July to open his movies, and he's got a lot of 289 00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:41.000 pull. He can just say, I want my movie released on July twenty 290 00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:48.480 first. That's what he does. Also on that date is the Barbie Movie. 291 00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:52.599 Now, many people say the Barbie. The Barbie movie is gonna crush 292 00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:56.599 it. It's gonna beat Oppenheimer. That's the smart money. Did you know 293 00:21:56.680 --> 00:22:00.960 that, Sam? Yeah, there's a lot more little screaming girls that want 294 00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:03.240 to go and spend their money to see a movie like that. When Oppenheimer, 295 00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:07.400 that's a kind of movie that you I think you could get just as 296 00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:11.400 much out of it watching it at home as you could in on a big 297 00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:17.160 screen. I disagree there because of his you know, the production values. 298 00:22:17.839 --> 00:22:22.160 Um, but are you saying I'm a little screaming girl because I want to 299 00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:26.039 see Barbie a little bit? Well, okay, that's fine, that's fair. 300 00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:32.400 Fair, Um, so but to me, it's like that day, 301 00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:34.119 what are you going to do? Are you gonna go see Oppenheimer first or 302 00:22:34.119 --> 00:22:38.680 Barbie first. I'm a little bit torn. I would go see Oppenheimer. 303 00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:44.119 You I think I would see Openheimer first, But then you think my wife's 304 00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:45.960 gonna want to see Oppenheimer first, So you know how it's gonna go. 305 00:22:47.319 --> 00:22:49.240 Now, I see that's the thing I'm gonna I have a daughter, so 306 00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:53.440 Barbie is definitely on the list of movies that are gonna be seen. It's 307 00:22:53.599 --> 00:23:02.599 just I'm I personally am much more and I'm biased. My flavor of disaster 308 00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:07.519 porn. Are watching old nuclear footage, old nuclear chest footage, so I 309 00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:11.880 have a like I'm like, yeah, Oppenheimer, rock on. Oh I 310 00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:18.559 love it when I'm doing my TV my doing my TV shows and there's a 311 00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:23.480 nuclear aspect to it, like this monster could have been created by a nuclear 312 00:23:23.519 --> 00:23:30.440 explosion or this alien. These aliens were warning about nuclear explosions. And then 313 00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:34.400 I get to go into the archives and search the best nuclear explosions that money 314 00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:40.200 can buy. And I have pretty much an unlimited budget to buy nuclear explosions, 315 00:23:40.200 --> 00:23:42.240 so I don't have to get a cheap one off of YouTube. That's 316 00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:51.559 one of my favorite things. Yeah. Okay, So Mission Impossible seven is 317 00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:57.160 coming out on July twelfth, and now, so you have Barbie Oppenheimer on 318 00:23:57.319 --> 00:24:03.160 the twenty first, you got Mission Impossile on twelve. Now Tom Cruise's problem 319 00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:11.720 is that he's releasing it on the twelfth. It goes into these Imax theaters, 320 00:24:12.359 --> 00:24:15.920 which is I think it's like about a third of the box office comes 321 00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:22.200 from these Imax theaters. They're called plfs, Premium large format screens. Okay, 322 00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:26.559 PLF. That's a new word I learned this week. So the plfs 323 00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:30.359 and they're up charges, are are very crucial to all movies because you know, 324 00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:33.200 that's a lot of box office because you're you're charging way more and it's 325 00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:37.000 all profit. You know, after these things are installed, it's just like 326 00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:41.319 a big you know, it's a it's a windfall of money. So on 327 00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:47.799 July twelve, he gets into a bunch of screens, these plfs, and 328 00:24:47.839 --> 00:24:49.359 then on July twenty first, he gets kicked out of all of them. 329 00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:55.960 He's he's kicked out, Yeah, and he's only on regular screens. He's 330 00:24:56.039 --> 00:25:00.240 kicked out because Christopher Nolan has wrapped up not just a portion of the IMAX 331 00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:04.960 screens, he gets all of them, of the IMAX screens in the country 332 00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:11.519 will go to Oppenheimer. So, uh and and how do you think this 333 00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:17.279 makes Tom Cruise feel a little upset? I would say, I'd say betrayed, 334 00:25:17.319 --> 00:25:19.599 bewildered. How do you think it makes him feel? Yeah, he's 335 00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:23.000 um. So he starts making calls. He's calling. I mean he's a 336 00:25:23.039 --> 00:25:27.319 paramount guy. Oppenheimer's in a universal guy. He calls. He starts calling 337 00:25:27.359 --> 00:25:33.359 people and saying, hey, uh, why don't you push back? This 338 00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:37.519 will change the reach trying to get up. He's trying to get Christopher Nolan 339 00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:41.000 to change the release date when this guy has always has the same release date. 340 00:25:42.799 --> 00:25:49.200 So Cruiz is personally calling around to exhibition and studio executives, per multiple 341 00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:53.880 sources, and according to one top execut Cruz has asked rivals to relinquish the 342 00:25:55.400 --> 00:26:03.960 premium long form long formats UM screens or plfs, or even move the release 343 00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:08.920 dates for the good of the entire theatrical business, something that is just not 344 00:26:10.039 --> 00:26:15.039 going to happen. But it's bizarre, right, Yeah, I if I 345 00:26:15.119 --> 00:26:18.599 was Tom Cruise, I'd consider moving it back to the fourth of July open 346 00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:22.960 because that's when more people have time to go and do that stuff. Yeah, 347 00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:26.400 I don't know when what's on fourth of July, but there's gotta be 348 00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:29.039 a reason. I don't know, but it's you know, it's hard. 349 00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:32.680 There's Yeah, he probably thought the twelfth is fine. There's probably something on 350 00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:34.680 the fourth that he didn't want to compete with. So now he's going to 351 00:26:34.720 --> 00:26:37.640 the twelfth and now he realized he probably didn't realize he's going to be booted 352 00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:47.079 out of every PLF. Okay, PLF Changs is my favorite restaurant, and 353 00:26:47.240 --> 00:26:51.920 like I don't go to the same place as Josh Freeze eats. Okay, 354 00:26:52.519 --> 00:26:56.200 here's some television news. Let get out of that right now, and then 355 00:26:56.400 --> 00:27:00.359 some TV stuff. This is a cool story. Actually it's not a cool 356 00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:06.240 story. Actually, we're almost from out of time too. A woman is 357 00:27:06.279 --> 00:27:15.720 suing American Idol over unpaid wages and royalties, unpaid wages and over time based 358 00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:23.759 on her audition process to American Idol. Should American Idol audition auditioners get paid 359 00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:30.720 at least minimum wage and overtime compensation? Um, well, we'll talk about 360 00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:59.359 that when we come back. Joe Escalante Live from Hollywood Joe Scalante Live from 361 00:27:59.359 --> 00:28:03.079 Hollywood with the Business End of Show Business, every Sunday from five to seven, 362 00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:07.319 right here on KiB eleven fifty on your AM dial, and all over 363 00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:11.640 the world on iHeartRadio. All right, Sam, we were talking about the 364 00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:15.599 American Idol audition process. It's a lot of work. It's a lot of 365 00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:22.200 be here, wear this, be on call, stay here all day, 366 00:28:22.599 --> 00:28:30.039 get humiliated, and then do you get any money for that? No? 367 00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:33.559 I think traditionally everybody agrees you don't get any money to go audition for something. 368 00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:38.640 They're not going to pay you to audition, right right. But this 369 00:28:38.720 --> 00:28:44.480 girl, her name is Normandy Vamos and if you if you remember her on 370 00:28:44.519 --> 00:28:47.279 the American Iol, I still watch it. Maybe some people don't, but 371 00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:51.799 she was the girl that had an extremely high voice when she spoke and then 372 00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:56.119 a crazy low voice when she sang. So she starts singing and it just 373 00:28:56.160 --> 00:29:00.519 makes Katy Perry get up out of her chair and walk out of the room. 374 00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:02.599 She thinks she's being set up. She because I will not be set 375 00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:06.160 up. It's just too much. But when they get down to it, 376 00:29:06.200 --> 00:29:08.200 she's a very good singer and she has a crazy high voice. She has 377 00:29:08.359 --> 00:29:15.440 a full personality, so they all vote her to Hollywood. Okay, now 378 00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:18.240 maybe she should get paid when she gets to Hollywood. Would you agree to 379 00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:22.599 that? Yeah, I think that maybe you could once they make it past 380 00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:26.039 that first initial audition round. Yeah. Yeah. Now you're a cast member. 381 00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:29.759 Now you're a cast member. You're on TV. So they don't pay 382 00:29:29.799 --> 00:29:33.119 them for auditioning. But it is a lot of work. And then here's 383 00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:34.519 what happened to her. So you can make arguments, well, they should 384 00:29:34.519 --> 00:29:37.559 pay them for the auditioned thing after a certain after if they end up on 385 00:29:38.160 --> 00:29:44.039 TV. Maybe I don't know, but they don't. Then they tell her 386 00:29:44.079 --> 00:29:45.880 she's she's going to Hollywood. You're going to Hollywood. Now, this is 387 00:29:45.920 --> 00:29:48.640 a little something about American Idol that I didn't know that I will reveal to 388 00:29:48.680 --> 00:29:53.599 you now that has come out in all this. Sometimes you might notice if 389 00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:57.359 you watch it, you're going to Hollywood. People you don't see them in 390 00:29:57.519 --> 00:30:00.559 Hollywood. But you figure they can't show everybody, so maybe they just didn't 391 00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:04.680 didn't make any good TV moments. But what happens is they tell anybody they 392 00:30:04.680 --> 00:30:10.160 want, you're going to Hollywood. Then later they decide who's going to Hollywood 393 00:30:10.200 --> 00:30:12.000 based on how many people they have and what the who the what they want 394 00:30:12.039 --> 00:30:15.720 to do. So if they all three stand up and say you're going to 395 00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:18.359 Hollywood, it does not mean you're going to Hollywood. So with her, 396 00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:19.920 they just called her and say, hey, guess what, You're not going 397 00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:25.839 to Hollywood. She was very gracious about it on her social media, but 398 00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:27.920 then she got a lawyer. Guys like, this is BS. She should 399 00:30:27.960 --> 00:30:33.559 get paid. You know. They they told her what to wear, they 400 00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:36.400 told her what to do, they made her stick around, then they made 401 00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:38.559 TV out of her, and then they sold commercials for that TV time. 402 00:30:38.960 --> 00:30:41.640 Why doesn't she get any money? And then at that point I'm thinking, 403 00:30:42.119 --> 00:30:48.599 Um, I know it's silly to be paid for auditions, but you know 404 00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:53.920 where we where do we draw the line? So this law suit was filed 405 00:30:53.960 --> 00:30:56.200 in February. I missed it, so I'm bringing it to you now, 406 00:30:56.440 --> 00:31:00.279 and the court system moved slow. So we'll follow this and we'll find out, 407 00:31:00.920 --> 00:31:07.079 um what you know, where do we where do we draw the line? 408 00:31:07.240 --> 00:31:11.799 Well, here's another aspect of it. They they're making revenue off of 409 00:31:11.839 --> 00:31:15.519 YouTube as well, and it's not like they could, you know, make 410 00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:18.480 the videos and stuff for TV. That's not going to last very long. 411 00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:22.079 But I'm looking at this right now. She's got two point eight million views 412 00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:26.440 on YouTube. They're monetizing that. Yeah, that's where the money should be 413 00:31:26.440 --> 00:31:32.160 coming from. And it's just checks. There's just her clip for four minutes. 414 00:31:32.319 --> 00:31:34.400 It has nothing like it has the judges reacting and nobody like that. 415 00:31:34.440 --> 00:31:38.599 It's nobody else singing, it's just her, And they're monetizing that. Yeah, 416 00:31:38.640 --> 00:31:44.440 that's where the money should be coming from. Something's off. Yeah, 417 00:31:44.519 --> 00:31:48.839 so I would be interested to see where this goes. Now, would you 418 00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:52.200 have to pay everybody to audition? You know, we don't want that world. 419 00:31:52.279 --> 00:31:53.200 We don't want to live in a world where you can't have a TV 420 00:31:53.279 --> 00:31:56.279 show because it's too expensive to pay everybody to audition. Well, and you 421 00:31:56.359 --> 00:32:00.160 remember William hung right, You remember that dude from one of the earlier seasons. 422 00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:04.960 He made an an album based off of the audition that he did that 423 00:32:05.079 --> 00:32:07.279 everybody would say it was like, you know, from a singing standpoint, 424 00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:10.480 wasn't that great, But it was a viral sensation and he knew how to 425 00:32:10.519 --> 00:32:15.720 maximize it and to profit off of it himself. Oh yeah, ye had 426 00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:21.400 a celebrity poker career. Yeah, um okay, so all right, so 427 00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:24.240 we'll follow that another news. I'm going to whip through some stories because we're 428 00:32:24.240 --> 00:32:29.799 almost done with the hour m Vice Media. I think we've reported on this 429 00:32:29.880 --> 00:32:31.680 there there. You ever watched the Vice Channel, Sam, Yeah, they 430 00:32:31.680 --> 00:32:35.599 had a couple of decent shows, but yeah, not that much good stuff. 431 00:32:35.680 --> 00:32:38.240 Yeah, well, also made for people. Would you agree they don't 432 00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:44.799 watch cable Their their demographic is people who is chord cutters? Absolutely, absolutely 433 00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:47.720 right. Yeah, the whole business built an a whole empire built on chord 434 00:32:47.720 --> 00:32:52.880 cutters for cable TV. Yeah, they had an HBO show that one made 435 00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:57.559 a little more sense. So then this empire gets built and this Shane I 436 00:32:57.599 --> 00:33:02.559 forgot his last name, Um, it becomes a multimillionaire um, probably hundreds 437 00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:07.920 of millions of dollars he makes off this, and everybody's investing in it. 438 00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:10.720 Everybody wants this demographic, the cool hit people, but they don't watch cable. 439 00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:14.000 So the thing I mean, I looked at it from the beginning, 440 00:33:14.079 --> 00:33:15.839 I said, this is a disaster. These people don't watch cable, so 441 00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:22.680 you can't who would advertise to these people they're not watching? And the ratings 442 00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:23.839 were terrible, and it all turned out, it all bore out to be 443 00:33:23.880 --> 00:33:29.279 true true I could find if we had that kind of a system, my 444 00:33:29.359 --> 00:33:32.759 predictions that this would never last, and it not only did. The problem 445 00:33:32.799 --> 00:33:37.559 is it did last, and they kept pouring more money to it and going 446 00:33:37.599 --> 00:33:42.000 to other investors, and so many people people lost their careers by making decisions 447 00:33:42.039 --> 00:33:45.480 to invest in this. Now they were they were valued at one point at 448 00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:50.920 four billion dollars. Now there there there. People don't want it for free, 449 00:33:51.880 --> 00:33:54.839 So what's going to happen. It looks like the biggest creditor, which 450 00:33:54.880 --> 00:33:59.400 is George Soros, who many people think is like, you know, an 451 00:33:59.400 --> 00:34:04.720 evil, manipulating foreign wizard, he has to take it over for his two 452 00:34:04.799 --> 00:34:07.200 hundred and twenty five million dollars in debt, and all of a sudden he's 453 00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:08.679 got to run and he's saying, this is the worst case scenario. We 454 00:34:08.719 --> 00:34:10.719 don't know how to run this, we don't know what to do with it. 455 00:34:12.039 --> 00:34:14.440 We need another buyer. So they're looking for another buyer. No buyer 456 00:34:14.519 --> 00:34:16.599 is going to come, but they're looking. And so it'll be interesting to 457 00:34:16.639 --> 00:34:22.000 see if you're a creditor and then you take you invest in something like Vice 458 00:34:22.079 --> 00:34:24.639 TV, and then you end up acquiring the assets, what do you do 459 00:34:24.719 --> 00:34:29.840 with them? His original plan was to sell them off in pieces, but 460 00:34:29.920 --> 00:34:35.360 people are saying nobody wants the pieces. It's a toxic asset. They're saying, 461 00:34:35.679 --> 00:34:37.320 yeah, and it's toxic because it doesn't make any money. It only 462 00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:40.000 loses money. People have lost, you know, they've got a lot of 463 00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:45.960 trouble for investing in this. So Vice TV. Yeah, that's a YouTube 464 00:34:46.079 --> 00:34:50.599 channel. If anything, they shouldn't have gone table with that because the people 465 00:34:50.639 --> 00:34:53.000 that watch it are going to be likely to just want to get ten minute 466 00:34:53.039 --> 00:34:59.039 bits and chunks of stuff on the toilet watching YouTube. Yeah, it's a 467 00:34:59.199 --> 00:35:02.400 it's a racket. Um, okay, let's see. We don't have a 468 00:35:02.400 --> 00:35:05.599 lot of time life. I'm gonna go a little bit to the Taco bell 469 00:35:05.920 --> 00:35:07.480 Um thing. I don't know if we've talked about that Taco bell Maybe while 470 00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:12.480 you were gone you missed this. Taco Bells is petitioning the court to allow 471 00:35:12.519 --> 00:35:20.119 anybody to use Taco Tuesday. And there's a company called Taco Jahns in I 472 00:35:20.199 --> 00:35:23.920 forget where it's in Montana or something. Taco John's trademark Taco Tuesday at one 473 00:35:23.960 --> 00:35:30.159 point. Now, the trademark office shouldn't have granted that it's two it's it's 474 00:35:30.880 --> 00:35:34.400 just they should have known. Don't don't give one person a Taco Tuesday trademark. 475 00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:37.800 That's stupid. But the trademark office does this all the time. So 476 00:35:38.039 --> 00:35:43.639 Taco Bell is petitioning to have it, challenging it, saying everybody should be 477 00:35:43.679 --> 00:35:47.079 allowed to use it, and so many people do use it that it might 478 00:35:47.280 --> 00:35:52.599 lose its protection just because they haven't policed everybody. They haven't policed at all. 479 00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:59.920 Now Lebron James has made a Taco Tuesday peel. He's siding with talk 480 00:36:00.199 --> 00:36:05.079 Bell saying everybody should be allowed to be used Taco Tuesday. But here's the 481 00:36:05.119 --> 00:36:15.199 problem. Lebron James actually try to trademark Taco Tuesday once. Oh jee yeah 482 00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:17.000 yeah, So anyway, but I could go on and on about Lebron James. 483 00:36:20.119 --> 00:36:23.039 That's I don't know. You know. What I think is that it 484 00:36:23.119 --> 00:36:25.880 was never it should have never been granted. They should get rid of it. 485 00:36:27.440 --> 00:36:30.599 And the reason why Taco Bell has to go through the courts because a 486 00:36:30.599 --> 00:36:32.559 lot of people like if you and I opened to taco place, we can 487 00:36:32.639 --> 00:36:36.440 use Taco Tuesday. You see it all the time. They can't police all 488 00:36:36.480 --> 00:36:39.360 those but but if if Taco Bell does it, oh yeah, they're going 489 00:36:39.440 --> 00:36:44.920 to go after that because of the deep pockets, the deep hot pockets of 490 00:36:44.920 --> 00:36:50.239 Taco Bell. Other than that things, before we get out here, Queen 491 00:36:50.440 --> 00:36:53.400 is negotiating the deal that they claim is a billion dollar deal to buy their 492 00:36:53.480 --> 00:37:00.840 catalog, to sell their catalog of music publishing and sound recordings. That is 493 00:37:00.880 --> 00:37:07.719 like about five hundred million more than the like the the Springsteen and Bob Dylan 494 00:37:07.840 --> 00:37:12.519 and other ones that have that have come up for sale. And that's because 495 00:37:12.599 --> 00:37:15.599 these songs, like the Queen songs, we Will Rock You, you know, 496 00:37:15.960 --> 00:37:20.360 um Way Hamium Rhapsody, these are like they pay off like a broken 497 00:37:20.360 --> 00:37:23.559 slot machine from all the sync licenses and movies and stadiums playing them and all 498 00:37:23.559 --> 00:37:28.760 that kind of stuff. So we'll follow that. A lot of people say 499 00:37:28.800 --> 00:37:31.239 billion dollars number was floated just to drive the price up, but it's not 500 00:37:31.360 --> 00:37:36.159 real or they don't have the right to sell all of it because they've sold 501 00:37:36.199 --> 00:37:37.880 off some little pieces. So we'll follow that too. And I think, 502 00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:42.280 um, I think that's about it for us in this segment. But there's 503 00:37:42.320 --> 00:37:45.840 always more, and make sure you check out the podcasts. I will now 504 00:37:45.800 --> 00:37:51.400 leave you with just a taste of the greatest song ever written, and we'll 505 00:37:51.400 --> 00:37:52.679 see you next time.
