WEBVTT 1 00:00:07.679 --> 00:00:12.160 Joe Ascolante Live from Hollywood. By Hollywood, you mean Burbank across the street 2 00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:17.480 from a Wiener Schnitzer, a Wiener Schnitzel that serves beer. It's it's appropriate 3 00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:22.399 to pronounce that with the proper German because that is a proper German restaurant across 4 00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:27.079 the street. Here they're having another Saley. You know what. They brought 5 00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:33.280 back, the North Korean Fusion tacos, So everybody's excited about that. It's 6 00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:35.240 bigger than the McRib. I mean you can see the like, can you 7 00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:37.920 look out the window now and see the lines out front of that Wiener Schnitzel. 8 00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:42.479 It is packed all the way to the what's it called the chick fil 9 00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:45.719 A? The chick fil A? Yeah, I me and Chick fil A 10 00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:49.240 is closed today, so it's it might be a little bit of that. 11 00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:51.799 People go into the Chick fil A and then they see it's closed, and 12 00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:55.079 they go over to that Wiener Schnitzel, get a beer and a North Korean 13 00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:58.759 Fusion taco. But we are here to talk about the business end of show 14 00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:03.320 business, and we do this every Sunday from five to seven. I want 15 00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:06.319 to add that we're the first people to ever do this. You know, 16 00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:10.200 that's Sam. I've been doing this since two thousand and six, the first 17 00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:15.840 people to ever do a show on radio. Yes, but now there's like 18 00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:19.120 one hundred of these in the podcast world. They're all bigger and more successful 19 00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:23.280 and make more money than mine. But you know what, you have to 20 00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:29.599 be humbled to be before you can be exalted. We're underground, So we 21 00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:33.680 are underground. AM radio eleven fifty on your AM dial. All right, 22 00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:38.560 let's get to the show business. Box office pretty dismal, right now, 23 00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:47.239 going to a dismal period. But in the theaters we have a few notable 24 00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:51.640 things happening. Number one in the movie box office. What's your guess, 25 00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:56.920 I have no idea. I have not even gone downstairs. There's like I'm 26 00:01:56.959 --> 00:02:00.280 guessing maybe no, Marvel's comes out next week. I don't know, Oh 27 00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:05.680 five nights at Freddy's. Ahah. Yeah. It was Halloween and all the 28 00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:07.439 kids dragged their parents out to see it, and then the parents were like 29 00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:12.360 trying to cover their kids eyes throughout the most of it is that the word 30 00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:15.000 on the street for that movie it was it was actually like they made it 31 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:19.439 have like actual scary stuff. It was pretty realistic. Stuff from what I 32 00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:23.560 understand, Well, it's done one hundred and thirteen million at the box office, 33 00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:27.280 and I'm sure they didn't spend that much money on now maybe they did 34 00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:31.800 not on AMC's Taylor Swift. The I don't know why they call that AMC. 35 00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:37.400 AMC is actually a distributor of distributor of the of the Taylor Swift movie. 36 00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:44.360 That is one hundred and sixty five total millions at the box office thirteen. 37 00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:47.000 So that's These are two old movies that are the number one and number 38 00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:52.039 two, number three Killers of the Flower Moon, the worst movie ever made, 39 00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:55.560 is now creeping up in the box office rankings, but it was dropping 40 00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:02.280 and number four and limited release A twenty four's Priscilla, the story of Priscilla 41 00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:06.960 Presley married to Elvis at like well, I don't know, fourteen or something 42 00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.280 like that. So that's a salacious story. And it's they're billing it as 43 00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:13.840 people are talking about it as this is the stuff they didn't show you in 44 00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:19.479 the Elvis movie. I heard it's fantastic, only did about five million. 45 00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:25.680 It's a as I said, A limited release Number five at the in the 46 00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:38.479 box office is a movie called Radical. Now this is like it's his story 47 00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:50.400 about these sixth graders in Matamorris, Mexico, and I think it's some feel 48 00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:54.879 good story. But that's doing pretty well. It's not playing at my theater. 49 00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:01.599 Panteon Films is the studio they have like a I think Panteon has a 50 00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:06.240 a pentellion. I think they have like a streaming service with a bunch of 51 00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:12.159 Spanish movies. Number six Exorcists The Believer. I still haven't seen it because 52 00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:15.279 I can't see it with my wife and she doesn't like these kinds of movies. 53 00:04:15.279 --> 00:04:21.759 But I still will see it eventually after death. Number seven is from 54 00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:26.839 Angel Studios. Angel Studios who stunned the world with their Sounds of Freedom movie 55 00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:30.800 earlier in the year, and they keep churning out more movies and they're making 56 00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:34.639 money. This movie probably cost about two million to make. It's a documentary 57 00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:39.519 about near death experiences. Sam, have you ever had one of those? 58 00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:46.199 Every morning when I wake up? Yes, hilarious, this is funny radio. 59 00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:49.480 Well, it's done nine million at the box office so far for a 60 00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:54.360 movie that probably costs two million. So another successful I mean these Christian movie 61 00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:58.720 This is like in the Christian movie genre, near death experiences. I'll talk 62 00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:00.800 about a little more after I get done with the top ten. We have 63 00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:04.639 What Happens Later? Wait, Paw Patrol, which you saw or you didn't 64 00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:08.839 see, did not see? My kid is a little too old for that 65 00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:12.480 to think it's cool. Yeah, I heard from other parents. It's a 66 00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:17.279 good movie and it's doing well, very successful, sixty two million so far. 67 00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:23.879 What Happens Later is a bleaker street film directed by Meg Ryan or not 68 00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:27.920 directed by Meg Ryan, or Meg Ryan's in it. Meg Ryan is in 69 00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:34.920 it? When was she in anything? It's like welcome back to the to 70 00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:43.959 the uh to the movie business like is the story. She did direct it 71 00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:47.360 and it's you know, it's a rom com kind of thing with David Dukeveny. 72 00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:50.639 Sounds about right. But when was the last movie? What was the 73 00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:57.560 last movie she was in? It's been a while. She was like the 74 00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:01.680 biggest female lead that you could have in any movie. Her and Tom Hanks 75 00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:06.279 were like making magic everywhere they went, and then she fell off the earth. 76 00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:10.279 Yeah, it's very strange, and she probably went off and lived her 77 00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:13.240 life. You know, she probably she wasn't in jail. I'm pretty sure, 78 00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:23.839 I hope. So, So yeah, what Happens Later is number nine, 79 00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:30.120 Limited release Freelance number ten. It's like a John Cena movie that's like 80 00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:35.519 an action thing that's probably abysmal. But what did what did your host see? 81 00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:41.759 Did you did the did the engineer see anything? Did you see anything? 82 00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:44.800 Oh, you're the engineer. This is not engineer, actually, because 83 00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:48.360 that's what it sounds like. You didn't see anything. You didn't even go 84 00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:51.240 downstairs. When you say downstairs, you mean the movie theater that you live 85 00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:57.079 above. Yeah. No, I avoided going downstairs pretty much for the whole 86 00:06:57.079 --> 00:07:00.120 week. I was. I messed up my knee, so going anywhere was 87 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:04.079 pretty difficult. Okay, I'm sorry for your pain. I saw something because 88 00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:08.199 you know, I got to see something. Been very busy this week with 89 00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:13.839 a lot of stuff that I'll talk about later but not today, big things 90 00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:19.560 in the escalante world. But I saw After Death from Angel Studios. I 91 00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:21.720 was going there. I was gonna go see you went to the movies. 92 00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:29.399 I was gonna go see. Ah, I forgot what I was going to 93 00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:31.439 see. I was going to see something, you know, normal, and 94 00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:34.720 then I go, you know what, I think? I think my wife 95 00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:40.279 and I will enjoy this after death and better and it was very well made, 96 00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:43.600 said documentary about people with near death experiences, so they interview them, 97 00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:48.360 they reenact stuff. I like reenactments because I do that professionally for documentaries and 98 00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:54.319 for my own shows. So the reenactments were top shelf and that helps a 99 00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:57.439 lot. So you're watching cinema, you know, you're you're there's a reason 100 00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:03.319 to be in the theater, and the story were compelling, and you know, 101 00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:05.439 near death experiences are kind of like, well, you can explain it 102 00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:09.680 a lot of ways, but then when everyone has the same you're like start 103 00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:11.879 to think, well, maybe these there's more to these if everyone's having the 104 00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:15.279 same one. And then you might think, well, maybe there's like a 105 00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:20.040 collective consciousness and people are hearing other people's and then so they're you know, 106 00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:24.120 they're just dreaming. Are they just dreaming? But then people are able to 107 00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:28.639 hover above their body in the operating room when they're pronounced dead and explain, 108 00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:31.320 and when they come back, they tell people what was in what was happening 109 00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:33.960 in the room, and things they could not have known. Then you get 110 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:37.679 into the like you know, the paranormal realm or the mystical religious realm. 111 00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:43.799 So it's you know, it's all bigger than all of us and very well 112 00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:46.600 made. And then they get into the dark ones too. Not everybody goes 113 00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:54.240 to heaven and sees a you know, a beautiful blonde Jesus. Sometimes it's 114 00:08:54.279 --> 00:09:00.759 a dark experience and they come back from that. And so it's it's pretty 115 00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:05.679 if you if you don't believe in an after life, and if you especially 116 00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:09.360 specifically Christianity, even though they don't really mention Christianity hardly at all here. 117 00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:13.200 It's just it's just, you know what what happens to people. You won't 118 00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:16.480 like this movie, and you might be like some people that are calling it 119 00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:20.399 propaganda, but you know whatever I mean, Angel Studios there, they do 120 00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:24.879 have a message. Hey, there's there's a life after death, so behave 121 00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:28.360 yourself. Is that that's maybe the message of that of that company. And 122 00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:31.799 some people don't like that there is life after death, behave your self message, 123 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:35.679 and we all know why they because they think that somebody is going to 124 00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:39.240 tell them not to lead a debauchery life or a pleasant life, and they're 125 00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:43.799 gonna be someone's gonna give them a bunch of rules. But in any case, 126 00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:46.799 the Christians are making a lot of movies and they're making good movies and 127 00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:50.200 they're making a ton of money. So people are taking notice. How much 128 00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:52.519 time we got. Should we take a break and check the traffic. Let's 129 00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:56.240 take a bit of a break and check the traffic. All right, we 130 00:09:56.279 --> 00:10:01.639 are now checking taking a break and checking the traffic on Sclante Live from Hollywood, 131 00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:09.399 Joe Escalante Live from Hollywood. We are back and we are talking about 132 00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:11.799 the business end of show business like we do every Sunday. Here O K 133 00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:20.519 E I B eleven fifty on your AM dial back to the movies. Here. 134 00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:28.919 The the biggest movie in streaming right now, sam is None too anuin 135 00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:35.200 two Yes monhat dose as it's known in the Spanish speaking world. Uh, 136 00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:41.840 it's it's it came to streaming so far, so close to when it was 137 00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:48.720 in the box office that that it's it's uh. People are freaking about out 138 00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:54.279 about that too. Forgot why. But anyway, speaking of streaming, Windows 139 00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:58.440 and the Five Nights at Freddy's is still killing at the box office. Number 140 00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:01.600 one. It is also available on streaming. So even though it's available on 141 00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:05.679 streaming, people need to go see it at the box office. That that's 142 00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:09.159 what they're telling everybody. Nice, So it's good to see that finally, 143 00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:13.399 people like if they have the option to stay home, they're not, yes 144 00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:16.919 exactly, And it seemed like there was another like, you know, sort 145 00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:22.120 of a COVID scare coming for a while, but that I is it. 146 00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:24.720 You're in a different world to me. I'm down here in Orange County. 147 00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:28.120 You're up in la are you? Are you in that same sense? There 148 00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:30.480 was a COVID scare and then it went away, or you think it's still 149 00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:35.759 going there was because everybody caught it, and then everybody got better. Everybody 150 00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:39.600 realized that you don't really die from it this kind now or very rare. 151 00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:45.200 Well, I mean it's for example, my co parent had it. We 152 00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:48.759 both had it. I've had pretty mild symptoms. She had to go to 153 00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:52.440 the hospital. The difference was between here now and how things were a couple 154 00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:56.679 of years ago. They gave her a pill, so medication that knocked it 155 00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:01.440 out within a comp day. She was fine, and I understand she had 156 00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:07.240 a near death experience and she yeah, she re evaluated together for a little 157 00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:15.039 bit. How did that work out? We survived. It was near death, 158 00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:22.720 but we made it okay individually, Okay, Yeah, So people are 159 00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:26.240 going out one thing I did well, I can recommend one more thing in 160 00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:31.039 the entertainment world is oh my gosh. It seems like for a year my 161 00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:35.600 brother kept telling me, hey, you should watch you know, season four, 162 00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:39.639 episode three of the Twilight Zone. It's a it's a one hour Twilight 163 00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:43.320 Zone or even longer, I guess if you added commercials on it. But 164 00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:46.960 it's total fifty the original series. Yes, it's a fifty one minute episode 165 00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:56.320 of a Twilight Zone and it's called Valley of the Shadow reference to the Old 166 00:12:56.320 --> 00:13:01.159 Testament there, Okay. He kept telling me to watch it, and my 167 00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:05.919 brother watches Twilight Zones over and over. He gets together with friends and they 168 00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:11.080 watched like, you know, watch it together virtually online or whatever together, 169 00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:13.080 you know, the these kind of things where people watch shows together while they're 170 00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:16.159 on the phone with each other. I guess, so he does that. 171 00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:22.919 He kept telling me, you got to watch this thing, and I I 172 00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:24.200 didn't get around to it. But I have paramount plus, which is a 173 00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:26.519 paramoun plus. If you have that, you have every Twilight Zone episode at 174 00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:33.200 your disposal. Some people have them all on DVDs and you know, but 175 00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:35.799 if you have paramount plus, they're just sitting there anytime you want them. 176 00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:39.720 So I finally went and watched it. Sensational. So the episode is called 177 00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:45.039 Valley of the Shadow, and it's about a guy who comes into a small 178 00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:50.519 town. Classic Twilight Zone type plot, goes into a small town and he's 179 00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:52.919 got to get gassed and he's lost, and he ends up being stuck in 180 00:13:52.919 --> 00:14:00.200 the town, and you know, it's a weird society of people that have 181 00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:05.480 discovered peace and equality, but they have a secret that has been bestowed upon 182 00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:09.879 them that allows them to keep their world the way it is. And now 183 00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:13.399 that he's seen it, they can't let him out because part of their bylaws 184 00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:18.039 is knowing If any outsiders find out about this, then you have to eliminate 185 00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:22.200 them. They either have to join you and join the society, or you 186 00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:26.480 have to eliminate them. And it's kind of one of those maybe it's an 187 00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:33.480 allegory or a I don't know the English language that well, but the communism 188 00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:39.279 versus Freedom movies and Twilight Zone episodes and that were made a lot in the 189 00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:48.879 fifties, like High Noon is one. So do you choose this equal utopian 190 00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:54.720 paradise or do you choose which is you know, maybe kills your inner soul 191 00:14:56.200 --> 00:15:00.960 or do you choose freedom where people have the freedom to kill each other and 192 00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:09.519 commit evil and and that's a pretty common theme in twilet zones and a lot 193 00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:16.240 of movies in the fifties. So I recommend that the Valley of the Shadow, 194 00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:20.399 I think it's season four, episode three or twy the Zone. It's 195 00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:26.240 like a movie because it's long. Okay, it's kind of like like maybe 196 00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:31.399 The Black Panther. The Black Panther comic book came out not too long after 197 00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:39.279 this episode came out, and that's like a society that you know, has 198 00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:46.440 discovered a peaceful way to live and the outsiders aren't welcome and you either have 199 00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:50.240 to assimilate or you have to leave. Kind of like the Prisoner little TV 200 00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:52.720 show. Anyway, good one, interesting comparison. I like that. Yeah, 201 00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:56.919 So it's it's not a you know, it's not a new theme, 202 00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:02.600 but it's an in it's and it's you know, continues. Maybe Avatar. 203 00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:07.840 Avatar is kind of like that you have this wonderful society, but you have 204 00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:12.440 to be blue, so you know, Okay. Also in the television world, 205 00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:15.879 we have a little mini scandal that popped up this week. Sam, 206 00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:21.240 You're gonna like this one. In twenty twenty, the then president of Original 207 00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:30.440 Programming, Casey Bloyse of HBO anice to work for HBO just I mean, 208 00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:37.399 who cares? But whatever, Casey Bloyse, he's still there, by the 209 00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:45.000 way, now he's the CEO and chairman, but he was. He said 210 00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:47.399 someone needed to go on a mission, and what they needed to do was 211 00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:52.240 create basically fake Twitter accounts and go after the TV critics. And he was 212 00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:59.360 at first irked by a tweet from a Vulture TV critic, Catherine Van Aarandanc 213 00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:07.960 who who had some thoughts on the Perry Mason HBO series and she thought it 214 00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:11.240 was weak and blah blah blah, and she wrote, dear press to ch 215 00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:15.720 TV, please find some way to communicate male trauma besides showing me a flashback 216 00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:21.519 to the hero's memories of trench warfare. Okay, that's a fair criticism, 217 00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:25.559 you know, No, I'd actually agree with that. That is pretty fair. 218 00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:27.799 A lot of the like, when you have flashbacks to you know, 219 00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:33.160 what made a man a man, usually it flashes back to some kind of 220 00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:37.160 military combat. Yeah, yeah, trench warfare, like classic, and it's 221 00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:41.200 like you got nothing else? Is that all you could come up and it 222 00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:44.880 is I think it's fair. It's like think for five minutes. You know, 223 00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:48.640 you got all these writers in the writer room. Let's have five minutes 224 00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:52.559 and let's think of do we have anything else besides trench warfare that this guy 225 00:17:52.640 --> 00:18:00.039 might have gone through in his youth. And you know, let's me and 226 00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:03.799 me brainstorm right now. Maybe we can fix this. Like, Okay, 227 00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:08.039 Catholic school, maybe a lot of people traumatized by nuns hitting them. I've 228 00:18:08.079 --> 00:18:11.079 seen those in some movies. But yeah, that's one we can run with. 229 00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:18.759 Yeah, it's not very original. But and maybe he bullied in high 230 00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:22.319 school. I've seen that one. Yeah, made fun of in high school. 231 00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:26.119 But I guess after a while they started probably going through these and they're 232 00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:29.000 like, well, maybe he's Jewish and they called them you know, and 233 00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:33.000 that's what happened in the Steven Spielberg movie. It seemed a little try to 234 00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:37.000 beat you over the head with his and there you know, all these these 235 00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:41.599 things that happened in the movies, they're always so black and white. Maybe 236 00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:44.519 we got to think ahead, like, you know, instead of like looking 237 00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:48.079 backwards and thinking this is what is usually you know, what we've already seen. 238 00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:52.160 We got a look towards the future with like VR. Somebody raided virtually 239 00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:56.000 raided my bank account and took all of my money. And now I got 240 00:18:56.079 --> 00:19:00.960 get my revenge or something. Uh yeah, revenge point. But I mean, 241 00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:03.759 if it's a flashback, I don't know how you look ahead, but 242 00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:08.640 you know you're I mean, you have to set further. Guess. So 243 00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:11.799 he's a he's a lawyer and in his you know, he went to law 244 00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:19.039 school and it was traumatic because he h I don't know, maybe trench warfare 245 00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:22.279 is pretty good law school. He was pretty true too. I can see 246 00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:26.000 that maybe he was on his way to a camp for kids about to be 247 00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:32.359 molested, and that's a Jesil Nick joke. But anyway, well, anyways, 248 00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:33.720 they didn't. When I first read this story, igo, Well, 249 00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:38.640 the story is about evil critics and one guy finally got back at him, 250 00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:41.279 and now he's in trouble because they found out he was making it that they 251 00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:45.720 he was hiring his assistant or something that to make all these fake tweets to 252 00:19:47.400 --> 00:19:49.079 hit back at the critic. But now that I read the story, I 253 00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:53.839 think the critic was right. So first I thought he was the fight in 254 00:19:53.839 --> 00:19:56.680 the good fight. If he wants to fight the good fight, go back 255 00:19:56.720 --> 00:20:00.759 to the writer's room and say, come up with something besides trench warf because 256 00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:03.680 we got called out on it. All right, let's go to break and 257 00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:07.720 we come back. Scarlett Johansson and her body are in the news Joe Ascalante 258 00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:11.960 Live from Hollywood. We are back the show business, the business end of 259 00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:18.200 it, and let's let's go to the intellectual property portion of the show, 260 00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:26.000 where Scarlett Johansson has taken legal action against an AI app that is using her 261 00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:32.960 likeness. She is upset because there was a twenty two second ad posted on 262 00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:41.599 Twitter by an artificial intelligence imaging company called Lisa AI colon nineties yearbook and Avatar. 263 00:20:42.119 --> 00:20:53.799 It's a pretty awkward name, but what happened on the app was that 264 00:20:53.839 --> 00:20:59.039 they were using Obviously they're using her likeness. She's mad and she's very aggressive. 265 00:20:59.079 --> 00:21:03.799 Remember she went after did Disney or not Disney HBO for Mourner Brothers for 266 00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:11.000 not putting the movies out on their service instead of in the theaters and ignoring 267 00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:12.200 the fact that she gets a big bonus if it's in the theater. I 268 00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:15.279 thought that was with Disney through Marvel yeah, oh yeah, Disney, I 269 00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:19.200 mean, and then that's when and then HBO just try to solve their problem. 270 00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:26.200 They they just put everything on there. They'd had the same problem and 271 00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:29.200 other other companies. Yeah, but hers was Yeah, Disney, thank you. 272 00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:37.599 So in this ad twenty two seconds, it shows Scarlet Johanson, who 273 00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:42.480 we both love. We can agree on that. In there behind the scenes 274 00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:48.720 in the Black Widow movie, she's comes up to some people and says, 275 00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:52.519 what's up, guys. It's Scarlett and I want you to come with me, 276 00:21:52.880 --> 00:22:00.000 before a graphic covers her mouth and the screen transitions into AI generated photos 277 00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:04.920 resemble her. A fake voice imitating Johansson then continues to speak promoting the AI 278 00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:11.160 app, and she says it's not limited to avatars only. You can also 279 00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:15.880 create images with texts and even your AI videos. I think you shouldn't miss 280 00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:22.680 it. Fine print under the ad says images produced by Lisa AI. So 281 00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:26.799 it's telling you that the app made these images. They're not real. And 282 00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:30.880 then it says in the warning it has nothing to do with this person. 283 00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:42.400 So that's they thought that was like a disclaimer so they could show her and 284 00:22:42.519 --> 00:22:48.000 tell you this is what you can do by the way, this is not 285 00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:51.160 her. We created this and it has nothing to do with her. Trying 286 00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:53.039 to say that she's like not endorsing this project, but they don't really say 287 00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:56.920 she's not endorsing this project. They say it has nothing to do with her. 288 00:22:56.039 --> 00:22:59.279 You see how they're playing with words and they're trying to say like, 289 00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:03.960 well, yeah, we said this. There's no words that they could say 290 00:23:04.119 --> 00:23:11.440 that make this legal. I don't think do you think that's enough of a 291 00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:14.240 disclaimer? I mean, what do you think is this a free speech thing? 292 00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:18.119 Like, how are you going to tell people that you can make celebrity, 293 00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:22.640 you can make celebrities do things if you can't show that they made celebrities 294 00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:26.440 do things. Yeah, if I mean, if they're giving a disclaimer that 295 00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:32.480 this isn't the real person, I'm guessing that might help a little. But 296 00:23:32.599 --> 00:23:36.720 this is like new waters that people are treading legally. I don't know. 297 00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:38.640 Yeah, I mean it might help a little. They get to say, 298 00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:42.559 well, hey, what are the damages, because these kind of things are 299 00:23:42.559 --> 00:23:47.440 all about damages. How many how much damages did she suffer? Well, 300 00:23:47.599 --> 00:23:52.559 she suffered damages because people she's an endorser, She's a paid endorser of products, 301 00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:56.000 or she at least has the ability to do that it's a major part 302 00:23:56.039 --> 00:24:00.880 of her income or could be, or the fact that she doesn't do that 303 00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:06.319 boosts her box office and her credibility. That translates into money. So you're 304 00:24:06.359 --> 00:24:12.119 costing her money either because she now cannot endorse another company like this, or 305 00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:18.279 she's saturated in the marketplace. Either way, it's not very hard to tell 306 00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:21.480 a court that, like, look, this costs her a lot of money 307 00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:26.960 because she's now saturated and people think, well, whoa, WHOA what people 308 00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:32.480 think she's in she's being endorsable. We wrote that she's not endorsed by that, 309 00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:34.559 that this has nothing to do with her, and that might go to 310 00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:37.559 a jury, like one guy in a jury saying, hey, well, 311 00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:41.559 you know what, they wrote this, so don't let's not throw the book 312 00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:45.440 at them. So they're kind of managing their risk here by writing these disclaimers, 313 00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:51.519 hoping to make a splash, and then they'll just say sorry, just 314 00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:55.799 kidding and they'll stop doing it, which they have stopped, and now we're 315 00:24:55.839 --> 00:24:59.720 talking about them. So maybe they got what they wanted. But Scarlett Johanson 316 00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:02.400 knows that, so she's not gonna lay down she's going to go after him, 317 00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:06.079 and she's gonna get damages, and we'll see what kind of damages she 318 00:25:06.119 --> 00:25:15.039 gets. It'll be interesting. Okay. Now, in the celebrities behaving badly 319 00:25:17.720 --> 00:25:25.480 genre, nobody behaves more badly than rock star Steven Tyler of the rock band 320 00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:32.039 Aerosmith. I didn't like Aerosmith when I was young because I knew in my 321 00:25:32.079 --> 00:25:36.720 heart of hearts that when that guy puts down his microphone he's going to go 322 00:25:36.759 --> 00:25:41.880 sexually harassed women and assault them. So you might say I predicted this by 323 00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:45.640 my site. I predicted it with a lack of support for Aerosmith. And 324 00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:48.440 we can all say Aerosmith's cool now, you know, because we go like, 325 00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:52.839 hey, they're really cool. They're part of this you know, eighties 326 00:25:52.960 --> 00:26:00.599 rock thing, and you can go see their concerts and be cool. And 327 00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:03.440 their church t shirts are worth a lot of money from the old days, 328 00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:06.759 and everybody likes retro stuff. I'm not buying into it. The band was 329 00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:10.920 awful then, The band's awful now. To me. This might have been 330 00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:14.720 your world, this was not my world. So I'm just not buying into 331 00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:18.000 and and and part of it was I didn't like their image. I don't 332 00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:22.720 like that guy's image. Now that guy. Have you seen him? I 333 00:26:22.799 --> 00:26:26.359 have, yes, that guy, Like, you're a grown man. What 334 00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:32.680 are you wearing on your fingers? Like these rings? You wear, these 335 00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:37.599 scarfs, you wear this hair, You're a grown ass man. You get 336 00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:40.759 up in the morning and you put these rings on your finger, Like, 337 00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:42.599 I'm gonna look great with these things. You haven't wanted to have one of 338 00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:52.039 those scarves? You got me? You know me too well, Sam, 339 00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:59.319 So you know something made me cringe and I knew it was going on. 340 00:26:59.359 --> 00:27:03.119 And I'll also something I also knew is like one day when the me too 341 00:27:03.160 --> 00:27:08.880 movement moves into rock en Roll, it will explode because it's like, you 342 00:27:08.920 --> 00:27:11.480 know, it's it's part of the given. These guys, this is what 343 00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:17.000 they do and they're not, you know, arguably, they don't have the 344 00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:22.880 same education as Harvey Weinstein or less moon Vests or people that have been canceled. 345 00:27:23.839 --> 00:27:30.200 They are, you know, just degenerates. That's the image they sell. 346 00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:33.359 Look at me, I'm a bad boy. Do you know what a 347 00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:40.279 bad boy is saying? I've seen a few. Yeah, you bad boy 348 00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:45.279 does wonderful advantage, takes advantage of young women. It's like number one. 349 00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:47.480 That's a number of thing you do do you're a bad you leave your house? 350 00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:51.440 Whom I what woman am I going to try to trick into having sex 351 00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:56.240 with me? So that's the whole image. And I, you know, 352 00:27:56.319 --> 00:28:00.359 I was wondering what would happen when they start getting into this and the there's 353 00:28:00.680 --> 00:28:04.920 a lot of band members have been canceled here and there, even the guy 354 00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:08.759 from the band Anti Flag. Anti Flag is a big punk rock band that 355 00:28:10.680 --> 00:28:15.319 was, you know, in the scene and playing and very political, hyper 356 00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:21.279 political, just we are here to bring down the man, and we are 357 00:28:21.319 --> 00:28:27.440 for women's rights and all the disadvantaged. And then some some women start coming 358 00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:32.119 out, one after another after another, after another after another saying this singer 359 00:28:32.599 --> 00:28:37.440 assaulted me. This was happening. I was giving tours at the Punk Rock 360 00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:44.240 Museum, and while I'm giving tours, I'm like, over here is Anti 361 00:28:44.359 --> 00:28:45.880 Flag. I was like, wait, where did it go? And then 362 00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:51.480 people are running around the museum tearing down the Anti Flag stuff. This is 363 00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:52.519 in Las Vegas. If you haven't been in the museum, it's amazing. 364 00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:56.079 But they're tearing down, they're taking the stuff out. When this came out, 365 00:28:56.279 --> 00:29:00.079 and these are people that know, you know, people that know, 366 00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:03.319 they knew it wasn't just wild accusations, they said, they checked it out. 367 00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:07.519 They go, yeah, this is all true. The band broke up 368 00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:11.799 the same day because they knew, and so they just started dismantling this stuff 369 00:29:11.880 --> 00:29:14.359 right away. That's in the punk rock world. Punk rock world is not 370 00:29:14.480 --> 00:29:18.160 selling bad boy images. That guy was, you know, his politics might 371 00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:29.640 have been misguided, but he they were you know, legitimate political campaigns that 372 00:29:29.720 --> 00:29:33.480 he was running, and they were and that's how kind of punk rock is. 373 00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:38.160 Punk rock is not about this kind of bad boys stuff other than bad 374 00:29:38.160 --> 00:29:44.400 boy to authority. But in the you know, aerosmith world, you know, 375 00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:47.519 that's what they're selling. And so final they caught up with Stephen Tyler. 376 00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:52.319 You might have remembered a case recently, did you remember this one? 377 00:29:52.519 --> 00:30:00.079 This woman named Miserly was her name? She Missley, Missley. She he 378 00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:07.720 came out of the woodwork because Stephen Tyler, when she was sixteen or seventeen 379 00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:12.799 persuaded, oh no, yeah, sixteen, persuaded her parents to sign over 380 00:30:12.960 --> 00:30:17.480 the guardianship to her to him so he can have sex with her without going 381 00:30:17.519 --> 00:30:22.720 to jail and travel across state lines with him without criminal prosecution. Did you 382 00:30:22.759 --> 00:30:27.000 hear this story? I remember vaguely of it, but yeah, the details 383 00:30:27.039 --> 00:30:33.839 of it are pretty lurid. Yeah, and then forced her to persuade her 384 00:30:33.400 --> 00:30:42.200 to get an abortion. So this is in the monster category. And then 385 00:30:44.079 --> 00:30:48.000 for some reason he's not, you know, in jail or fully scorned. 386 00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:53.559 And then another lady has come out now with her. She was a model 387 00:30:53.960 --> 00:30:57.960 in New York. Her name is Jeane Bellino. This is the news she 388 00:30:59.279 --> 00:31:02.319 has come out. Let's say, because we got to go to break okay, 389 00:31:02.559 --> 00:31:04.319 so I'll tell you her claims when we come back. Joe Scalantate live 390 00:31:04.359 --> 00:31:32.400 from Hollywood. Joe Joe Escalante Live from Hollywood. We are back the business 391 00:31:32.519 --> 00:31:36.799 end of show business. K e IB eleven fifty on your AM dial every 392 00:31:36.799 --> 00:31:41.119 Sunday from five to seven pm. Unless we're preempted by a NFL game. 393 00:31:42.039 --> 00:31:45.200 Then here's what you do. Go to the podcast. We're going to record 394 00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:49.119 a podcast show anyway, and this show will become a podcast later. People 395 00:31:49.119 --> 00:31:52.319 always ask me, do you have a podcast? I got I don't have 396 00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:55.839 a radio show. Some guy named Sam turns it into a podcast, so 397 00:31:56.000 --> 00:31:59.200 I guess I have a podcast. And sometimes it's just a podcast. But 398 00:31:59.240 --> 00:32:02.480 today we're live on the radio for two hours from five to seven. We're 399 00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:09.079 talking about Steven Tyler and the latest case against him. This one's not as 400 00:32:09.119 --> 00:32:15.200 bad as the other one. This one is a girl that he definitely assaulted. 401 00:32:15.880 --> 00:32:25.680 She was seventeen years old and he's gross but he uh, it seems 402 00:32:25.680 --> 00:32:30.960 like they didn't have sex, but he, you know, groped her, 403 00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:37.319 grinded her, dry hump whatever, all this kind of stuff. And she 404 00:32:37.599 --> 00:32:40.839 then he tried to get her to go up into his hotel room and she 405 00:32:40.920 --> 00:32:52.119 finally got away. So her name is Billino. Billino. She's just a 406 00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:55.960 one named person in my mind now, Jean Bellino. So Jean Bellino. 407 00:32:57.079 --> 00:33:00.200 She alleges in a New York in a New York lawsuits. She actually filed 408 00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:07.359 the lawsuit in nineteen seventy five. She's seventeen years old. Steelen Tyler assaulted 409 00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:10.599 her. Now Stephen Tyler is still out there going to grammy things, and 410 00:33:13.119 --> 00:33:17.720 I don't know how he's getting away with it. After you convince some family 411 00:33:17.799 --> 00:33:22.200 to I'm like, maybe Elvis did the same thing, but Elvis is gone, 412 00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:31.759 okay, and he probably thought Elvis did this. Jerry Lee Luis that's 413 00:33:31.799 --> 00:33:34.920 what I was thinking. The name Jerry Lee Lewis did this, I'm going 414 00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:43.480 to do this, but it's still it's still gross. And I don't know 415 00:33:43.519 --> 00:33:45.119 what's going on with I apologize for this. I don't know what's going on 416 00:33:45.160 --> 00:33:50.680 with Miss Lee's claim and where that ended, the one that she that he, 417 00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:54.960 you know, persuaded to have the abortion and had the he had the 418 00:33:54.960 --> 00:34:00.279 guardianship over her. Well, he filed an anti slap motion against or in 419 00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:07.279 May just because yeah, okay, and that's gross. As guardian caretaker said 420 00:34:07.319 --> 00:34:13.880 that her claims were that she consented to the sexual relation. That's gross anti 421 00:34:13.880 --> 00:34:16.480 slap. She should file an anti slap against his anti slap. An antislap 422 00:34:16.519 --> 00:34:22.559 motion is is what you file if somebody is suing you and you're a tiny 423 00:34:22.679 --> 00:34:30.599 party and then a big company is suing you for a free speech issue, 424 00:34:30.239 --> 00:34:36.000 like you you want to tell your story, or you have an artistic endeavor 425 00:34:36.039 --> 00:34:39.599 and they're coming down on you and there and and you know how some companies 426 00:34:40.519 --> 00:34:45.000 will use the courts and say we are so big, don't even try to 427 00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:49.920 fight us because you will go broke. Well, the law has evolved in 428 00:34:49.920 --> 00:34:52.719 a way to protect small people to say, Okay, you can tell me 429 00:34:53.880 --> 00:34:58.840 that I'm going to go broke, but I'm going to file this anti slap 430 00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:04.920 thing against you. And then now you have to prove that what I say 431 00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:10.039 is not true, and then if you can't, then you have to pay 432 00:35:10.079 --> 00:35:17.679 my legal fees. So, but that's a big guy who is attacking a 433 00:35:17.679 --> 00:35:22.480 little guy, and the little guy uses the anti slap motion, so that 434 00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:25.639 it's because it's a bridging their free speech. In this case, Stephen Tyler 435 00:35:25.679 --> 00:35:30.079 is suing her for an anti slap. He's just trying to cost her more 436 00:35:30.119 --> 00:35:37.559 money, and he's gross. And I don't know why nobody cares. If 437 00:35:37.559 --> 00:35:42.559 we had to care about this one, then we would have to care about 438 00:35:42.719 --> 00:35:47.639 every band from that era. Guess who cares about every band from that era? 439 00:35:49.840 --> 00:35:52.800 Your host, Yeah, I care about all of them. And if 440 00:35:52.800 --> 00:35:55.280 you're going to go after these Hollywood people, you got to go after them. 441 00:35:55.559 --> 00:36:00.239 The problem is there's no evidence. There's such bad evidence. This is 442 00:36:00.280 --> 00:36:02.480 in nineteen seventy five of this new case, this new case that got filed, 443 00:36:02.480 --> 00:36:07.760 it's not very good. Nineteen seventy five, she says she was pushed 444 00:36:07.760 --> 00:36:14.119 into a phone booth and groped and dry humped and all that stuff. That's 445 00:36:14.239 --> 00:36:15.800 bad, and I feel sorry for it and I believe her, but there's 446 00:36:15.840 --> 00:36:22.800 not enough evidence so that it will survive from that long ago, even though 447 00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:29.519 she said the other band members were watching. So it's hard to get justice. 448 00:36:29.920 --> 00:36:34.119 You got to get justice right away. And if society won't give you 449 00:36:34.239 --> 00:36:38.360 justice right away, but society will give you justice later by changing the laws 450 00:36:38.440 --> 00:36:45.960 and saying the statute of limitations is now going to be expanded. That is 451 00:36:45.159 --> 00:36:50.159 it's not perfect, you know, because there's a balance that has to be 452 00:36:51.679 --> 00:36:58.280 met of justice for the accused and justice for the accuser. And that is 453 00:36:59.000 --> 00:37:00.760 not perfect even when you do it right away. But if you do it 454 00:37:01.320 --> 00:37:07.440 fifty years later, forty five years later, do you think there's really no 455 00:37:07.480 --> 00:37:10.559 age used? Because of just the fact that it was the era of sex, 456 00:37:10.639 --> 00:37:14.280 drugs, and rock and roll, and they went like through a very 457 00:37:14.440 --> 00:37:19.159 public like we need to walk away from the industry for a good five to 458 00:37:19.280 --> 00:37:22.079 ten years because we are on way too many drugs and drinking too much. 459 00:37:22.320 --> 00:37:27.599 They publicly went sober, and for a lot of the stuff that they did 460 00:37:27.639 --> 00:37:31.320 throughout the eighties and nineties was with this, with the perception that they were 461 00:37:31.360 --> 00:37:37.000 no longer doing any of that debaucherous stuff. Yeah, admirable, you know, 462 00:37:37.159 --> 00:37:45.840 and other people could learn from that. But fast forward, Why why 463 00:37:45.880 --> 00:37:49.800 are you further traumatizing this girl even though she's not a girl anymore, she's 464 00:37:50.119 --> 00:37:53.079 she's a woman. Why are you further traumatizing her with an anti slat motion. 465 00:37:53.400 --> 00:37:55.840 Yeah, no, I agree with you. Now what you're gross? 466 00:37:57.199 --> 00:38:01.119 You're gross. Then you're gross. Now make a settlement with her. And 467 00:38:01.519 --> 00:38:07.000 even I go back to my Bill Cosby thing all Bill Cosby, he didn't 468 00:38:07.000 --> 00:38:08.599 call me, but he should have, and I would have said, if 469 00:38:08.639 --> 00:38:14.559 I was Bill Cosby, I'm gonna take all my money, one hundred percent 470 00:38:14.599 --> 00:38:17.920 of my money, and I'm going to give it to these victims, and 471 00:38:17.960 --> 00:38:22.199 I'm going to live off social Security. And then it would have been over 472 00:38:23.000 --> 00:38:25.679 and no one would be trying to run him down and prosecute him. What 473 00:38:25.760 --> 00:38:29.239 was he hanging on to his money? What's he gonna do with his money 474 00:38:29.239 --> 00:38:32.000 in jail when he's disgraced? So if he gave it all away and lived 475 00:38:32.000 --> 00:38:35.480 on social Security, you know what would happen? Would he would would social 476 00:38:35.480 --> 00:38:37.360 Security be his only income at that point? No, I don't think so 477 00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:43.519 he'd work again. Yeah, Yeah, he'd spend the rest of his life 478 00:38:43.559 --> 00:38:46.079 working and it would be forgiven and it would be a model to what other 479 00:38:46.119 --> 00:38:52.480 people should do. And he didn't do that. And same thing, well, 480 00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:55.800 Harry Weinstein should have done. You just got to give it all away 481 00:38:55.880 --> 00:38:59.039 and say, okay, what do you want and give it all the way 482 00:38:59.199 --> 00:39:04.880 and then start working. Harvey Weinstein to be working, and they didn't do 483 00:39:04.880 --> 00:39:07.679 it. You know, the same disorder that forces you to, you know, 484 00:39:07.719 --> 00:39:12.800 take a fifteen year old and shover in a phone booth and or or 485 00:39:12.920 --> 00:39:15.559 get a guardianship and force you to have abortion. These are the same disorders 486 00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:22.760 that don't or drug people like Bill Cosby, the same disorders that don't allow 487 00:39:22.800 --> 00:39:30.639 you to think clearly and called Joe Sclante for advice. So too bad for 488 00:39:30.679 --> 00:39:37.280 these people. But why is Steven Tyler not being vilified? I don't know, 489 00:39:39.880 --> 00:39:45.920 but I do believe this case is not very good. There you go, 490 00:39:46.400 --> 00:39:51.559 the actor striking Sam. Do you have any more comments on my self 491 00:39:51.639 --> 00:39:55.440 righteous holier than now soapbox rants? Not at all. I actually, really 492 00:39:55.719 --> 00:40:00.400 I agree with a lot of what you're saying. That it's imp important to 493 00:40:00.440 --> 00:40:04.000 believe the victims on stuff like this, and it is re traumatizing for them 494 00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:07.760 to have to have a person like Steven Tyler basically tell them, you know, 495 00:40:07.119 --> 00:40:12.360 stop suing me. I'm invalidating all of your experiences and all of your 496 00:40:12.400 --> 00:40:17.840 sadness. But it's been fifty years. It's hard to find the evidence to 497 00:40:17.960 --> 00:40:21.599 stick. A lot of the people who are witnesses may no longer be with 498 00:40:21.719 --> 00:40:28.840 us, but and having guardianship, the guardian ship saying well, this was 499 00:40:28.880 --> 00:40:30.679 when we were doing a lot of drugs and stuff, so please forgive us. 500 00:40:30.679 --> 00:40:35.440 We've changed our ways. And where are the parents when the guardianship was 501 00:40:35.440 --> 00:40:39.559 happening. Yeah, you know they're they're obviously they're you know, bad parents. 502 00:40:39.599 --> 00:40:44.599 Or maybe the kid was such a mess that that was the least worst 503 00:40:44.639 --> 00:40:47.159 option at the time. Maybe she'd be dead, you know, she would 504 00:40:47.199 --> 00:40:52.079 have been dead somewhere or killed herself or something, So maybe it was the 505 00:40:52.159 --> 00:40:55.360 least worst option. Okay, doesn't sound like great parenting, but we in 506 00:40:55.360 --> 00:40:58.719 this case, we don't. It's not even like we don't have evidence. 507 00:40:59.280 --> 00:41:01.039 The guy went out and guardianship with her so he can have sex with her 508 00:41:01.159 --> 00:41:07.440 and bring her across state lines, so he convinced the parents to do something 509 00:41:07.519 --> 00:41:10.400 that society and who knows what he used money, you know, pressure, 510 00:41:10.599 --> 00:41:15.800 whatever. He convinced them to do something that society has decided is disgusting. 511 00:41:16.119 --> 00:41:22.480 And he did it anyway, And so there is evidence on this one. 512 00:41:22.679 --> 00:41:25.000 Now the other his new case. The lady's saying, ah, he traumatized 513 00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:29.199 me in nineteen seventy five. That's just a terrible case. You know, 514 00:41:29.280 --> 00:41:32.840 that's a terrible case. I wish her luck and also with him. If 515 00:41:32.880 --> 00:41:37.039 he remembers doing this, write her a check. Maybe she's down on her 516 00:41:37.119 --> 00:41:38.320 luck and this is her last thing and she'll just go away. Write her 517 00:41:38.320 --> 00:41:42.280 a check. If you did it, If you didn't do it, yeah, 518 00:41:42.320 --> 00:41:44.400 it's another thing. But if you're just saying, hey, there's no 519 00:41:44.440 --> 00:41:47.559 way, there's no proof, I'm not going to do it, because you 520 00:41:47.719 --> 00:41:51.679 might think it invites other people, and then all of a sudden, you 521 00:41:51.719 --> 00:41:54.039 got right, one thousand checks a month. That could be a problem. 522 00:41:54.119 --> 00:41:59.199 But in the Bill Cosby case, give them all your money and then you'll 523 00:41:59.199 --> 00:42:00.519 work again. But I don't know when he's going to work again. If 524 00:42:00.559 --> 00:42:07.920 I see him judging American Idol or the Masked Singer, you know, then 525 00:42:07.679 --> 00:42:14.000 you know we've we've we've gone beyond the point of no return with craziness. 526 00:42:14.800 --> 00:42:19.280 Okay, let's go to the writer strike. The actors have received the best 527 00:42:19.440 --> 00:42:22.599 and most final offer of the studios can produce, and that's what they're mulling 528 00:42:22.639 --> 00:42:24.760 over right now. We'll see what happens. I mean, my dear Tuesday, 529 00:42:24.760 --> 00:42:31.760 you could hear something changing Joe Ascalante live from Hollywood, leaving you with 530 00:42:31.880 --> 00:42:36.760 just a taste of greatest song ever written. But there's always more.
