1
00:00:11.039 --> 00:00:15.640
Joe Ascalante live from Hollywood. If
by Hollywood you mean Burbank, across the

2
00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:20.480
street from this Wiener Schnitzel that sells
beer. I'm here in the studio with

3
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:25.519
engineer Sam and producer Nicki, and
we are going to do two hours of

4
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:31.039
the business end of show business until
seven pm, like we do it every

5
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:36.119
Sunday. Here NICKI are you there? I'm here? What's up? Everything's

6
00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:41.280
just the world is changing every day, isn't it. It's dark out here?

7
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:44.039
Sam? Are you? Are you
there? Sam? I'm here.

8
00:00:44.119 --> 00:00:47.240
I'm hiding under the table as we
speak. Okay, good, I was

9
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:52.039
wondering where you went. Okay,
So we're going to talk about movies.

10
00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:55.880
We're going to talk about television.
We're going to start with a little conversation

11
00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:06.159
about music that dimps into politics and
wow, you know, this is Hollywood

12
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:10.959
as it gets. When one of
the major actors, a less actor,

13
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:21.319
Jack Black, put out a statement
that says, I'm so ashamed of what

14
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:26.200
happened on stage. I was blindsided
last night when and then he didn't really

15
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:30.200
doesn't really refer to what happened,
but he just says, I profoundly apologize

16
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:38.400
to those Well, that's Kyle Gas's
actually is just an apology and a cancelation

17
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:42.799
from Jack Black. Can pull it
up right here actually on Instagram, because

18
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:47.200
I'm sure you want to hear word
for word, but well, I mean

19
00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:51.959
I would in this kind of situation, I would want to get the lines

20
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:57.239
directly quoted by Jack Black and Kyle
Gas. Absolutely start with Jack B.

21
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:01.680
I was blindsided by what what was
said at the show on Sunday. I

22
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:07.519
would never condone hate speech or encourage
political violence in any form. After much

23
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:12.039
reflection, I no longer feel it
is appropriate to continue the Tenacious D tour.

24
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:15.960
That's his band and all future creative
plans are on hold. I'm grateful

25
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:22.680
to the fans for their support and
understanding. And then Kyle Gas His apology

26
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:27.479
on Instagram was, I don't condone
violence of any kind in any form against

27
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:31.280
anyone. What happened was a tragedy, and I'm incredibly sorry for my severe

28
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:36.120
lack of judgment. I profoundly apologize
to those I've let down and truly regret

29
00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:42.639
any pain I've cost. Now the
incident was, you know they're on tour.

30
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:46.759
Jack Black and Kyle Gass are Tenacious
D. They have a backup Man

31
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:52.680
two and they're very good, they're
very talented, and it's humorous. They're

32
00:02:52.680 --> 00:03:00.520
comedians. They wheeled out a birthday
cake for Kyle on his birthday and he

33
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:06.680
in Australia on a tour and he
they said, do you have any wishes

34
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:09.199
before you blow out the candles?
And he says that they don't miss Trump

35
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:15.759
next time. So, you know, me, that is just like a

36
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:23.800
joke you threw out and maybe it's
too soon, but there was a backlash

37
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:27.520
that we didn't really hear in the
United States really, but there's a backlash

38
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:30.280
in Australia. So by the time
it hit, the thing hit the internet

39
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:34.199
and it started going viral. The
Australian authorities were like, what are these

40
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:39.360
people doing in our country? You
know? And then Jack Black, you

41
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:46.360
know I was and then Kyle gases
agency drops him, and then Jack Black

42
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:49.560
has to you know, he's got
a real career. Kyle Gass is a

43
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:53.120
sweetheart. He's a friend of mine. He's a sweetheart. He's a great

44
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:57.759
musician, he's a talented actor,
but you know, he's not anywhere near

45
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:00.479
the caliber of Jack. And I
mean, you can't you could bring down

46
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:02.280
Jack. Kyle could bring down his
own career and he could bounce back a

47
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:06.439
couple of days later. But you
bring down Jack Black's career, and that's

48
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:12.159
a there's just there's too much to
lose there. I would say too much.

49
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:17.000
Stakes are higher and it's got to
be so it's a little bit.

50
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:19.160
I don't know, what do you
guys think? Did Jack Buck say too

51
00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:23.279
much? Is it a big deal? Is it just a joke? No?

52
00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:27.519
I think it would be condemning these
people. I think the reactions that

53
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:30.920
they had are appropriate. They're very
obviously contrite, and yeah, they do

54
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:34.920
need to take a moment to reflect. It's just the look on Jack Black's

55
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:42.279
face at that moment reminded me of
the movie Anchorman when they got Will Ferrell's

56
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:46.160
character to drop the F bomb on
TV and then got him canceled. It

57
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:54.319
was like, everybody's is there footage
of Jack's Black's face when Kyle said it?

58
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:56.920
Because I haven't seen that. It
wasn't a close It wasn't a close

59
00:04:57.000 --> 00:04:59.720
up obviously, but it was one
where they were like the same footage where

60
00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:02.560
they have of it. You can
tell the reaction was not It was one

61
00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:05.959
where it was like, oh boy, here we go, Like you could

62
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:10.319
tell they knew what they were about
to unleash right there, what with the

63
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:13.759
storm that was about to hit them, and it seems like they wanted to

64
00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:16.199
jump ahead of it more than anything
and say, yeah, we're we're not

65
00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:20.399
even gonna bother trying to fight this. We are We're gonna take some time

66
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:25.279
and walk away from this creatively.
Everybody's gonna take a second. Here,

67
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:28.720
Nikki, what do you think about
this? Is this? Is this a

68
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:30.480
big deal? I mean to say, to make a joke like that?

69
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:41.279
Is it just a comedy night?
Yeah? Yeah, I mean jokes.

70
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:46.839
Yeah. I think that like recognizing
that your audience doesn't like the joke and

71
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:51.879
then apologizing realizing that you kind of
misread what they believed was appropriate makes sense.

72
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:56.839
I think that, like making a
comment about that in general is like,

73
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:00.439
I mean that that is one of
the more bizarre things to ever happen

74
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:05.160
in my lifetime, you know,
and residential ass assassination attempt, Like you

75
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:09.959
got to process it. I get
it. It's a joke, you know,

76
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:14.160
there's a lot of strong feelings about
what happened. From what I saw,

77
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:15.720
it looks like the audience did like
the joke and they did laugh.

78
00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:20.879
Yeah, so I think I think
it's also I read in another article about

79
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:25.680
this that the I think this was
what this was in Australia right on their

80
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:30.040
tour. Yeah, I know that
the there's an Australian senator who was very

81
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:35.120
unhappy about that and had like called
on the Prime Minister to revoke their visas

82
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:42.160
as a result of this. Because
so that's what Still do we not have

83
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:45.519
a sense of humor? Can't someone
tell a joke? And I will because

84
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:47.879
you tell jokes, you'd throw jokes
out. Some of them don't work and

85
00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:53.199
they move on. I think it's
like the you got when you have a

86
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:55.959
career. That's that high stakes.
I can see the problem, but I

87
00:06:56.040 --> 00:07:00.480
personally don't care. That's how I
get it. Personally, I don't care.

88
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:05.000
You make jokes. You make jokes
like that and that's what comedy is

89
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:08.800
all about. And some of them
don't work and you move on. They

90
00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:12.879
can't all work and this is live
just something blurted out, not in good

91
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:15.120
taste. I'm sorry, I didn't
really mean that. That's to me,

92
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:17.600
that's all at Warrnce is. I
go on my Instagram go I hope people

93
00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:20.240
know that I didn't really mean that. And then we're done. Yeah.

94
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:23.839
Yeah, And I also think that
when it comes to, like, you

95
00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:27.879
know, things to do with like
violence or hate, you know, I

96
00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:31.800
generally, I maybe I'm just overly
optimistic about this, and I'm young,

97
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:34.959
so I have some years left to
get jaded. But like, I don't

98
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:40.759
think most people condone violence. Like
generally, I think that you can tell

99
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:44.720
when someone does, and you don't
see them all exactly do we do we

100
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:46.199
have to? Like, don't we
really have to say that. I don't

101
00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:49.839
think that we're cool with assassinating people. I just I maybe I believe in

102
00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:54.319
America still and that's my problem,
But like, I don't believe that we're

103
00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:58.399
chill with this, so I don't
I wouldn't take it that way. Also,

104
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:01.879
I mean, he wasn't enough their
country. And if you've been outside

105
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:05.680
of the US, you know how
people see the US and their politics as

106
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:11.759
a massive comedy show. So frankly, I kind of I know why he

107
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:15.680
felt comfortable saying that. And there's
a lot of stars, A lot of

108
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:20.920
stars go overseas and they pander to
the audience by saying America has messed up,

109
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:24.560
and they get a big cheer for
it, which is smart. It

110
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:26.839
seems like, yeah, it seems
like it's a safe thing, a safe

111
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:33.320
audience. Uh. He probably had
a bunch of conversations that week in Australia

112
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:35.279
with people saying, what the hell
is going on with your country? You've

113
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:39.000
got one guy who's a raving lunatic
and the other guy's a cadaver and chief

114
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:45.240
you people are nuts And they probably
had that conversation over and over and then

115
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:48.679
and then that might have influenced him
too, But he to me, it's

116
00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:52.320
just a joke. You know,
it's a joke. So I hope they

117
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:54.240
get over it. I hope,
I hope, I hope every I hope

118
00:08:54.279 --> 00:09:01.039
the pr you know, world is
satisfied with Jack Black's apology and Kyle's and

119
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:07.279
they can get back to playing music. They make great music. So all

120
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:09.240
right, let's go, let's take
a break, check the traffic, and

121
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:13.759
we'll come back more. Joe's Galante
Live from Hollywood. Joe's Galante Live from

122
00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:20.519
Hollywood, by Hollywood, you mean
Burbank. We are two hours of the

123
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:24.600
business end of show business every week
on k e IB eleven fifty on your

124
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:28.240
AM dial. Now during the break, Nikki, you didn't hear us what

125
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:33.039
we were talking about. By the
way out of this for Jack, I

126
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:37.360
was asking Sam if he thought if
Jack might want to play the President in

127
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:45.000
an upcoming role in the movie Trump
Versus Bigfoot, you know, and it's

128
00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:48.279
just then it's kind of like,
hey, look, I'm fine. He

129
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:52.080
is he playing Trump or Bigfoot?
Miss Trump? Oh? You could do

130
00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:56.240
both. This is like, this
is in the category of scripts that Joe

131
00:09:56.320 --> 00:10:01.879
has lying around that never sold.
I think this is big. Have Kyle,

132
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:09.279
have Kyle be President Trump. That'll
resurrect the career. You know what,

133
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:13.440
he doesn't have the box. I
can't get a green light with Kyle.

134
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:16.440
I love him to death. I
can't get a green light. I

135
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:22.440
can get a green light with Jack. He would he would make a great

136
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:30.399
mic Pence Mike pens isn't in my
script. I like the idea of like

137
00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:35.200
a Trump Cocaine bear type film.
Well, that's what this is. This

138
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:39.919
is that kind of film. Because
what happens is in order to sway uh,

139
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:46.120
the swing states in the North are
are are affecting the enemies of Trump

140
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:52.840
are to have a plan to flip
the swing states or the or the solid

141
00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:56.759
red states in the North by killing
hunters and they do this with a diabolical

142
00:10:56.799 --> 00:11:01.080
bigfoot machine, and so all the
hunters are getting killed. And this is

143
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:07.919
a plan to keep Trump from getting
reelected. And so Trump has to go

144
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:09.600
out there and he has to kill
every one of these big foots and that's

145
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:15.320
what he does. So it's kind
of like Abraham Lincoln versus vampires kind of

146
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:20.360
thing with a heart. Yeah yeah, which okay, all right, So

147
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:24.200
anyway, that's where that is.
Now, let's go to the box office.

148
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:31.679
Box office very surprising this week because
the movie Twisters was projected to do

149
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:35.639
fifty million dollars in box office and
it did eighty point five million. How

150
00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:41.960
is that happening? Who is predicting? Who is predicting these box offices?

151
00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:48.320
And I hope it's not the same
people predicting the presidential elections. We might

152
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:52.759
have got rid of this Biden guy
for no reason. So yeah, eighty

153
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:56.159
five I've never seen anything like that, so where someone beats the spread by

154
00:11:56.159 --> 00:12:01.320
that much, so that it was
a huge boost to the box office,

155
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:09.200
to the movie industry. And uh, number two is Despicable Me four,

156
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:13.000
number three Inside Out two, number
four Long Legs, which I think Nicky

157
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:18.639
saw five at Quiet Place Day one, Number six fly Me to the Moon

158
00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:24.399
starring Scarlett Johansson and Chanting Tatum,
Number seven, Bad Boys, Ride or

159
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:30.000
Die, Number two Bad News.
Sorry, sorry, there's a Bad Boys

160
00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:33.000
then number seven, number eight is
Bad News, nine Maxine, and number

161
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:37.840
ten Bike Riders, which I hope
fails. How about his Bike Ride?

162
00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:43.000
We're still hanging in there, Geese, Yeah, we don't need it needs

163
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:46.200
to go away? What is did
any of you guys see any movies?

164
00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:52.240
Said? Okay, well guess,
let's play the game where we guess which

165
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:54.840
one of these movies on the top
ten Joe Scalante saw, even though he

166
00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:58.200
was in New Jersey for three days
and still managed to see a movie.

167
00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:07.759
I bet you saw Bad Boys,
Rider, Dive Sam, Despicable Me for

168
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:13.120
there's a Scarda Johansson movie, and
I'm not gonna go see it, all

169
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:16.120
right, all right, all right? How'd you like it? Terrible?

170
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:20.840
That's what I thought. It looked
like. I'm sorry. I watched the

171
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:24.320
trailer. I've been seeing billboards that
apparently only went up like days before the

172
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:28.879
movie came out, and I was
like, what this is? It was?

173
00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:31.600
It was so mid And also,
as a child, my dad would

174
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:37.240
go to Blockbuster and buy the bootleg
three D animations from Russia that were on

175
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:41.159
sale, and I grew up watching
a lot of very bootleg three D animated

176
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:45.480
kids movies. One of them is
called fly Me to the Moon. It's

177
00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:50.639
about three flies who get flown to
the moon on accident in like one of

178
00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:54.720
the spaceships that goes up there,
and that could happen. That's the same

179
00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:56.879
title, but whenever I see it, I just think about that crappy animation.

180
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:03.960
Well, there's a good that's there's
three or four movies called fly Me

181
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:05.840
to the Moon. But let's let's
let's hone in on that. Because this

182
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:09.279
is kind of a legal show.
It is okay to have movies called the

183
00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:15.600
same name. Why because you cannot
trademark the title of a movie. So

184
00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:20.360
you have a movie come out and
you can have another movie come out with

185
00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:22.480
the same title. There's a few
exceptions, like you can't have a movie

186
00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:28.639
come out that's like already a series, because you could trademark a series of

187
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:33.000
movies. So you can't have Spider
Man. Oh, Spider Man's already trade

188
00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:37.519
my character. That would be misleading. But these kinds of names like fly

189
00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:39.600
Me to the Moon. You can
have many of them. Suburbia like that

190
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:45.039
were there's a couple movies called Suburbia. And the Quiet Place is now a

191
00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:48.120
franchise, so you can't have a
Quiet Place because it's a franchise. But

192
00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:52.399
just you know, regular movies and
you can you can do that. But

193
00:14:52.759 --> 00:15:01.120
this movie Starlett Johansson, was a
great actress, but she's playing an unlikable

194
00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:07.440
character with no point to her life. And it's like this movie is like

195
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:15.360
it's like a party that was where
they had no buddy, no, they

196
00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:18.720
spared no expense on the budget,
there was no limit and that party was

197
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:24.360
decorated amazingly. And then you got
to the party and it was a turn.

198
00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:26.879
It was a terrible party. So
by the time you get to the

199
00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:28.919
party, you're looking around and if
I mean to the Moon party, everybody

200
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:35.039
looks great. Everybody, all the
sets look great, The costumes are awesome.

201
00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:45.639
You know, it's got that retro
atomic era, Cold War nineteen fifties

202
00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:48.679
look, their sixties nineteen sixties look, and they did a great job with

203
00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:52.080
that. And the director, Greg
Berlanti is a master of television. And

204
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:56.799
this is like a this is more
like a Hallmark movie. With a high

205
00:15:56.840 --> 00:16:00.960
budget. That's the vibe that I
got from the trailer, and then the

206
00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:07.600
script was as if it was just
plugged into an AI machine and they they

207
00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:11.039
typed in the premise and the and
the lines came out. They were so

208
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:21.120
trite and boring and predictable. So
I really wanted to like it, and

209
00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:26.519
I'm sorry, I can't recommend it. So what are you going to do?

210
00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:30.639
You know? But I did see
an amazing movie which one over the

211
00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:33.120
week, well, I saw an
advanced screening of the movie Kneecap Nikki,

212
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:37.639
whichever this is. This is one
of the best movies I've seen in years.

213
00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:47.000
I agree. It's got to be
a contender for Best Picture in the

214
00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:53.720
Foreign Film at least, but maybe
even in the God I'm gonna say it's

215
00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:59.639
my first Oscar Worthy movie that I've
seen all year. It's it's just it's

216
00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:04.640
a perfect movie about a rap group
from Ireland that wraps in Gaelic, the

217
00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:10.920
Irish language, and they rap about
drugs and violence and you know, these

218
00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:15.880
things the kids like, and at
the same time there's a The movie is

219
00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:22.200
also about the preservation of the of
the Irish language that is a source of

220
00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:29.599
pride and an identity for the the
Irish people that are opposed to the occupation

221
00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:37.759
by the the Brits. Then like
good Brits now in this country, thank

222
00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:41.160
you. I'm Irish, half Irish, half Mexican. We grew up being

223
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:45.960
Irish. All we care about is
Saint Patrick's Day and Lucky Charms, serial

224
00:17:47.799 --> 00:17:51.880
uh and the movie Darby O'Gill and
the Little People. That's it. That's

225
00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:55.640
all we get. But what was
really happening, you know while we were

226
00:17:55.640 --> 00:17:57.519
focused on those things, is these
people are fighting a war for their very

227
00:17:57.599 --> 00:18:04.519
survival of their of their their heritage
and their language. And you know,

228
00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:15.039
the people having hunger strikes. There's
violence with the ira a Irish Republican army

229
00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:19.319
trying to kick out the British from
occupying Northern Ireland. Most people I'm talking

230
00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:22.559
to right now don't even know what
this is, you know who the players

231
00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:29.319
are or because people don't talk about
it. Really, we're too busy talking

232
00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:33.240
about Notre Dame football when when when
we're talking about Ireland, it's embarrassing.

233
00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:37.079
So this movie will blow your mind. Let's take it a break. So

234
00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:41.240
let's take a break well, and
I'll criticize more things when we come back

235
00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:45.960
to Wiskelante Life from Hollywood, Jill, let's go on say Live from Hollywood

236
00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:52.119
by Hollywood Neighbor Bank. We're talking
about the movie Kneecap coming to theaters soon

237
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:56.839
from I think it's from Sony Classic, Sony Pictures Classics or Sony Classic Pictures,

238
00:18:57.480 --> 00:19:03.680
and Nicky and I both saw it
and extremely impressed and I cannot recommend

239
00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:11.000
any movie more than this Kneecap movie. If you're familiar with Irish troubles,

240
00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:14.920
and there's a lot of you know, I think people like these documentaries about

241
00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:18.680
the troubles in Ireland and the movies, and there's the best quin it's just

242
00:19:19.599 --> 00:19:22.119
and it's after the troubles, so
troubles are over. These guys are like

243
00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:26.359
the next generation of people that have
to live in this world after, you

244
00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:30.920
know, under the British rule,
and they're trying to preserve their language and

245
00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:38.160
they start this rap group and it's
just like it goes sideways. And what

246
00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:45.720
do you think about that character of
the female cop Nikki? Are you there?

247
00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:52.960
Hi? Yes, we are.
I was like blabbing on already,

248
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:57.160
but I was muted, but I
okay, I understood, like from a

249
00:19:57.200 --> 00:20:02.599
plot perspective why she had to be
there, because each of the characters kind

250
00:20:02.599 --> 00:20:07.519
of has their own side plot going
on to build up their personal struggle,

251
00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:11.839
right, and I kind of lost
sort of her purpose in all of it,

252
00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:17.200
Like I didn't really understand her motive
for being so that way. I

253
00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:22.559
mean, like her personality being so
yeah, she was like Nurse Ratchet from

254
00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:26.720
one of the Cuckoo's Nest. But
anyway, Yeah, we should just tell

255
00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:33.319
people when it comes to the theaters, look for it and watch Kneecap And

256
00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:36.599
it's a real band. You can
go on Spotify and they're good even if

257
00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:38.480
you don't speak Gaelic. It's a
lot of it is in English, like

258
00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:44.920
they go back back and forth and
they make it interesting for everybody. So

259
00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:52.079
a big recommendation for that. And
then I think I saw some other stuff.

260
00:20:52.119 --> 00:21:02.640
It's a bit random. Well,
but see this will just get into

261
00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:04.400
it. What did I see?
Oh no, it's gonna have to log

262
00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:08.000
into my letter box, so I
have to call it letter box. Actually,

263
00:21:08.759 --> 00:21:11.720
yeah, why aren't you following my
letter I just got one. I'm

264
00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:17.799
new. Yeah, everybody, everybody
needs to have a letterbox that listens to

265
00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:21.240
the show. So at least you
can see what movies I'm going to see.

266
00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:25.759
I saw a movie called cash Out, which is a John Travoltan movie

267
00:21:25.799 --> 00:21:27.359
that's that's current from twenty twenty four. Did you know there was a John

268
00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:30.920
Travolton movie that's current. I didn't
even think John Travolton knew that there was

269
00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:36.480
a John Travoltan movie in twenty four. You might not have. And this

270
00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:38.240
one is another one that's like,
you know, good acting, great premise,

271
00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:48.400
but it's a it's a heist movie. I like heist movies. This

272
00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:51.640
one is like an AI script,
kind of like fly Me to the Moon,

273
00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:56.400
so Anstebet. I've been trying to
I'm telling people I can honestly recommend

274
00:21:56.400 --> 00:22:03.720
that they Done Away documentary that they
have of right now on Max about fade

275
00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:06.880
done Away. That's what the Fate
done in my documentary is about it coincidentally

276
00:22:07.319 --> 00:22:14.720
and really good, fascinating woman and
the history of cinema since like nineteen sixty

277
00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:21.599
seven onto right now. She's still
live. And then I saw one of

278
00:22:21.599 --> 00:22:26.160
the greatest movies, like a silly
movie like I would give kneecap of five

279
00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:33.119
stars on my on my letterboxed.
But I saw a four star film called

280
00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:37.039
Shack. Have you heard of it? What was it? What's it called

281
00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:44.599
Snackshack? No? Oh man,
this is like a combination between sixteen Candles

282
00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:52.799
and Napoleon Dynamite and Super super Rat
or Super Bo eleven movies. So I'll

283
00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:56.920
put all those movies, roll them
in one, and you have Snackshack.

284
00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:04.559
You know, no stars in it. It just it's and it's you know,

285
00:23:04.640 --> 00:23:11.559
I like movies that are like really
where they show people doing bad things,

286
00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:17.759
because like unsafe kind of things.
These kids are taking over a snackshack

287
00:23:17.799 --> 00:23:22.960
and they're they're selling, they're doing
it. They're they're the're fourteen year old

288
00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:26.920
kids. They're making beer on the
side. You know, they're brewing beer,

289
00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:29.559
which is genius. Did you think
of that when you're fourteen? Just

290
00:23:29.559 --> 00:23:32.559
start brewing your own beer. No. But actually, in art school,

291
00:23:32.559 --> 00:23:36.400
I had a friend who made meat
in his fridge. See that's just medieval

292
00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:41.400
historical, you know, there's something
wrong with that. And so these two

293
00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:45.240
kids are I'll just give you one
and one. The guy gets a has

294
00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:48.359
a tantrum one day and he writes
the F word on a hot dog that

295
00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:52.400
he sells to a kid. That's
awesome in the catchup, and so he

296
00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:56.880
tells the kid one's seventy five and
he goes, wow, you're charging me

297
00:23:56.920 --> 00:24:00.519
seventy five cents more because it has
the effort on. It goes, yeah,

298
00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:04.640
F dogs are dollars seventy five,
and then the then so the kid

299
00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:07.559
pays it, takes it back,
and then then like a nine year old

300
00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:11.319
girl comes and goes slash down one
seventy five and goes, give me one

301
00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:14.599
of those F dogs and they say
the whole work. I'm not gonna stay

302
00:24:14.599 --> 00:24:18.200
it on the radio. Wow.
And then they're getting rich because every kid

303
00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:22.720
at the pool of the snackshack wants
an F dog. That's outstanding. Right.

304
00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:27.319
You know, they're always smoking,
they're always getting in trouble and kind

305
00:24:27.319 --> 00:24:33.279
of like the kneecap or like they're
just they're giving away drugs at their shows.

306
00:24:33.279 --> 00:24:36.160
It's so wrong, but I like
to I like movies where the stuff

307
00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:38.960
so wrong it's not real. I'm
just like laughing. They're throwing out drugs

308
00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:44.759
to the kids. Everybody's high in
that club. I'm assuming it's not real,

309
00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:48.359
but you know, Okay, So, so we had a couple of

310
00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:52.240
good ones this week. Snackshock is
a four star and decap is a five

311
00:24:52.279 --> 00:25:00.119
star. And yeah, so it's
kind of good week. That sounds like

312
00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:03.680
it. I want to catch that
movie that that you were just talking about

313
00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:08.240
though. That sounds amazing. That
sounds Snackshack sounds like it has like the

314
00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:12.799
pedigree of some great old school comedies
in it. It does. And it's

315
00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:15.720
like in these they don't make these
movies anymore, and no one's talking about

316
00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:18.839
this movie. It's a shame.
It's an underrated movie, and it's one

317
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:22.799
of those things that will live.
Like Better Off Dead. You guys ever

318
00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:25.200
see Better Off Dead? Young Nikki? Did you see Better Off Dead?

319
00:25:25.759 --> 00:25:30.480
No? Classic? That is a
great movie. This is a lot like

320
00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:32.759
that too. In fact, you
can tell they stole some of that,

321
00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:36.319
Like the parents. Remember the parents
in Better Off Dead. They're just like

322
00:25:36.799 --> 00:25:41.079
a little quirky and a little off, and the parents in this movie are

323
00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:44.759
off in the same kind of way. It's like a tribute to all these

324
00:25:44.759 --> 00:25:49.519
different kind of movies. All right, now that we've burned that to death,

325
00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:56.160
it's a couple other serious topics in
the news. We got about one

326
00:25:56.200 --> 00:25:59.440
minute here. If you want to
go serious, we may want to save

327
00:25:59.480 --> 00:26:06.559
it further neck segment. Okay,
Well, later on we're gonna we're going

328
00:26:06.599 --> 00:26:11.079
to talk about what hawk to is. A girl's manager says is in her

329
00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:14.480
and in her career, and I
don't want you to be jealous of her

330
00:26:14.519 --> 00:26:21.359
career. On Nickey, it's not
okay. And then there's also something on

331
00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:25.799
the internet that shows the cash me
outside girl, bad bad, bad baby.

332
00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:30.400
Uh huh, how about that make
fifty seven million dollars on on only

333
00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:37.599
tents. That's outrageous. Fifty seven
million dollars. Fifty seven million dollars and

334
00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:41.240
she's showing her receipts. Okay,
So Hawk to a Girl is uh,

335
00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:45.400
the world is your oyster. We're
going to take a break. Joe Scalante

336
00:26:45.559 --> 00:27:11.160
Live from Hollywood. Back after this, Joe asco content. Here's my lawyer.

337
00:27:12.359 --> 00:27:18.759
You don't want money. He does
it all for you and he knows.

338
00:27:19.720 --> 00:27:26.759
He's telling me in the fat.
Oh yes, you knows. Joe's

339
00:27:26.839 --> 00:27:33.519
Colante Live from Hollywood. Okay,
Hollywood, you mean Burbank. Wow,

340
00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:41.200
the Hawk to a Girl. There's
an interview with in Hollywood recorded with her

341
00:27:41.279 --> 00:27:47.759
manager, mister Johnny Forrester, and
he's so she's got management. Uh,

342
00:27:47.880 --> 00:27:49.599
she's going all the way. And
his first order of business, he says,

343
00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:59.000
is getting ready to getting rid of
all the impostor accounts. So that's

344
00:27:59.039 --> 00:28:03.440
a big part of of his job. And I guess she's right now.

345
00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:07.519
She's at the level where she's getting
like thirty grand to show up at a

346
00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:11.519
at an event, you know,
just to be there, and I'm sure

347
00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:17.720
that'll go up. I think she's
works a little more than that. But

348
00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:22.480
if you have a seener, she's
you know, she's a viral sensation and

349
00:28:22.759 --> 00:28:26.920
she's having her a moment. But
like I was before the break, I

350
00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:37.519
said, the cash me outside girl, bad baby. She's touting some fifty

351
00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:38.920
seven million dollar maybe it was fifty
four, I don't know, whatever it

352
00:28:38.960 --> 00:28:44.920
was million dollar statements that she's of
all the money she's received from her OnlyFans

353
00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:48.319
account, and that's a lot of
money. And all she did was go

354
00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:53.279
on whatever he talk show was and
say cash mouse, Si, how about

355
00:28:53.279 --> 00:28:59.599
that? That's all she did.
It was doctor Phil, doctor Phil.

356
00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:04.640
Yep. Yeah, So she's still
going strong. That was a long time

357
00:29:04.680 --> 00:29:08.880
ago, so hawk to a girl. You might call her like, you

358
00:29:08.880 --> 00:29:11.400
know, her fifteen minutes of fame, but it's not really fifteen minutes of

359
00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:15.839
fame. By the way, that's
not really accurate of that whole Andy Warhole

360
00:29:15.880 --> 00:29:18.559
thing. I love Andy Warhol,
but I mean the problem with that statement

361
00:29:18.759 --> 00:29:22.160
is it's not true. Now everybody
doesn't have their fifteen minutes of fame,

362
00:29:22.359 --> 00:29:26.119
some of some people have no fame, and some fame lasts more than a

363
00:29:26.119 --> 00:29:32.440
half hour. I don't know if
you know that. So, Sam,

364
00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:34.039
you were telling me that you were
upset at the hawk to a girl because

365
00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:37.759
you said she's a Jibbroni. Yeah, no, she is a jabbroni.

366
00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:41.079
She stole her bit from the iron
cheek. What's an iron cheek? Do

367
00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:42.640
iron cheek? That was his big
thing. He would go, you know,

368
00:29:44.240 --> 00:29:48.279
uh iran number one, everyone else
number two or lower haktoo, and

369
00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:52.079
he would just hit that was his
thing, and he would like he was

370
00:29:52.119 --> 00:29:55.640
like the Jabebroni ho coogan haktoo and
all that stuff. He would hit.

371
00:29:55.759 --> 00:29:59.000
That was his big thing. Okay, great. So if it was a

372
00:29:59.039 --> 00:30:08.519
really hot girl, e girl,
a hot young, witty girl, like

373
00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:14.880
howked to a girl, then he
could be in her position. But he's

374
00:30:14.920 --> 00:30:18.720
an old man and she's taking it
to the bank. He just died last

375
00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:21.880
year. Or so it was recent. He just passed away, and if

376
00:30:21.880 --> 00:30:23.119
he was still alive, he'd put
her in the camel clutch and make her

377
00:30:23.160 --> 00:30:29.799
humble. I think he would have. I think he would have loved talk

378
00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:32.440
to a girl. And if anything, that just speaks to the reincarnation.

379
00:30:32.519 --> 00:30:36.880
If he passed away last year and
then here she is, you know wow,

380
00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:38.599
Yeah, because I don't believe in
reincarnation, but you know, now

381
00:30:38.640 --> 00:30:44.000
I'm open to I'm open to learning
more about it. Yeah. No,

382
00:30:44.119 --> 00:30:47.759
she just embraced the spirit of iron
Cheek. You just convinced. Yeah,

383
00:30:47.799 --> 00:30:52.559
I'm all, I'm a girl now. So she's a fan, she's a

384
00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:56.319
fan of Iron Chic. And then
she's probably been saying that and repeating it,

385
00:30:56.440 --> 00:31:00.200
calling people Jibroni stuff like that,
iron cheek things. And then they

386
00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:06.000
asked her the question. She spit
it out as they say, Now,

387
00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:11.920
my serious stuff I was going to
talk to talk about is there's a couple

388
00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:17.000
of things. There's a there's a
bunch of reality TV people in Britain right

389
00:31:17.039 --> 00:31:22.200
now and they are they're on trial. They have pled not guilty, but

390
00:31:22.200 --> 00:31:30.720
they're they're going through the court system
criminal because they were hawking a like a

391
00:31:32.039 --> 00:31:38.720
get rid quick scheme, investment app
or something to get people to invest money

392
00:31:40.599 --> 00:31:44.359
in something, and they were all
talking about it on the air and everybody

393
00:31:44.680 --> 00:31:48.079
was losing money. So they are
they have violated the laws of the airwaves.

394
00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:52.440
I don't know how the airwaves work
in the UH they're probably owned by

395
00:31:52.480 --> 00:31:56.160
the Crown, I guess in the
Britain in the UK. But here in

396
00:31:56.160 --> 00:32:00.559
the United States they are written the
airwaves. When stuff goes over broadcast TV,

397
00:32:00.599 --> 00:32:04.799
it's owned by the people, and
so that's why you can't do a

398
00:32:04.799 --> 00:32:07.400
lot of things when things are broadcasts
that you could do on cable. Cable's

399
00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:10.400
just like it's a different thing.
It's not owned by the people. There's

400
00:32:10.400 --> 00:32:15.920
some monopolies that the government's grant to
different cable companies to run their pipes around.

401
00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:19.279
But when you're talking about stuff that
goes over the airwaves, you have

402
00:32:19.319 --> 00:32:22.920
to be really careful what you say, and if you're trying to hawk things,

403
00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:28.920
that has to be totally transparent and
above board, or you can go

404
00:32:28.960 --> 00:32:35.200
to jail or get a big civil
penalty from the FCC. So that's your

405
00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:39.279
legal lecture for the day. And
the other thing going on is the teamsters

406
00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:45.559
are negotiating with the producers right now, and there might be another big strike

407
00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:47.119
here in Hollywood. I don't know
if you know that. Did you know

408
00:32:47.160 --> 00:32:51.319
that, guys? I did.
I heard something of that sort coming up,

409
00:32:51.319 --> 00:32:54.039
that there's going to be another strike. Also, Jay's another strike with

410
00:32:54.119 --> 00:32:59.039
the Disney workers apparently is now happening. Yeah, yeah, so they might

411
00:32:59.039 --> 00:33:00.599
go and strike. I don't know
a lot about that one. The Teamster

412
00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:06.440
one looks like both sides are very
far apart, and then some people are

413
00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:12.799
saying like they put their finger in
the air the Teamsters and think, well,

414
00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:15.319
Donald Trump was going to be the
next president, So the president of

415
00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:17.519
the Teamsters, I think that was
his title, could have been the Grand

416
00:33:17.559 --> 00:33:22.599
Dragon. I don't know. The
Teamsters guy spoke at the Republican National Convention,

417
00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:30.319
which usually doesn't happen a union thing, and the guy spoke there,

418
00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:34.559
so that might he might be like
trying to get on the good side,

419
00:33:35.200 --> 00:33:42.799
kind of like Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg called
Trump a badass for getting shot. So

420
00:33:44.319 --> 00:33:47.440
I believe those people are going,
look, this guy is going to be

421
00:33:47.519 --> 00:33:52.200
president, and he's going to come
and clean our clocks. Start throwing a

422
00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:54.920
couple of compliments his way. And
go speak at his thing and hope that

423
00:33:55.000 --> 00:34:02.799
he doesn't hope no harm comes to
us. Very interesting to me, yeah,

424
00:34:04.680 --> 00:34:12.519
said me. Also, did you
hear Logan Paul was suing or I

425
00:34:12.519 --> 00:34:16.320
think he was suing or getting sued
by coffee Zilla for coffee Zilla calling him

426
00:34:16.559 --> 00:34:25.679
basically crook and corrupt because of the
issues with an what uh an an NFT

427
00:34:27.079 --> 00:34:31.039
game that he was trying to promote
and publish. So that's just starting to

428
00:34:31.199 --> 00:34:36.480
get boiling. And so we're gonna
see Logan Paul on the end of a

429
00:34:36.519 --> 00:34:42.039
pretty fun lawsuit coming up. Once
I see the word NFT or the letters,

430
00:34:42.039 --> 00:34:47.119
I tune now so well. But
it's amation. It's a defamation case.

431
00:34:47.320 --> 00:34:51.920
So it's one where it's involving Logan
Paul, defamation and all that stuff.

432
00:34:51.920 --> 00:34:54.719
I'm fine with that, you know. I always thought that once n

433
00:34:54.800 --> 00:35:00.039
f t's and like crypto became something
that everyone seemed to understand, I I

434
00:35:00.039 --> 00:35:02.800
always imagined I would get sat down
for like a bird's in the bee style

435
00:35:02.920 --> 00:35:07.199
conversation about what the hell any of
that actually is. But that never happened

436
00:35:07.239 --> 00:35:10.280
to me. And I've tried to, like I'll ask guys at parties like,

437
00:35:10.280 --> 00:35:13.679
hey, can you, like all
flirty, can you explain this to

438
00:35:13.719 --> 00:35:17.159
me? Because I bet you want
to explain NFTs to me and they don't

439
00:35:17.159 --> 00:35:21.360
even know what's going on. You're
crazy. Yeah, I'm trying to figure

440
00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:25.119
it out. Suicide mission, you're
suicidal. How do you know Nicky's going

441
00:35:25.159 --> 00:35:29.320
to be on suicide Watch this week? Yeah? Yeah, I'm fifty one

442
00:35:29.360 --> 00:35:31.960
to fifty myself. It's going to
be a special NFT minted on Twitter.

443
00:35:32.000 --> 00:35:36.760
You can find it there. But
