1
00:00:10.039 --> 00:00:15.720
Joe's Galante Live from Hollywood, if
by Hollywood you mean Burbank across the street

2
00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:21.280
from a Wiener Schnitzel that serves beer, and it is truly live Sunday,

3
00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:26.160
September seventeenth. It's five oh six
in the city. Sam is here with

4
00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:31.519
me. Hi, Sam, Hey, how you doing super? Thanks for

5
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:36.560
asking. We do the two hours
of the business and to show business every

6
00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:43.399
week here on KiB even fifty on
your AM dial. And today, you

7
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:47.240
know, it's a kind of a
slow Hollywood week, like as far as

8
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:49.719
movies go. But there is some
stuff and I know that we both saw

9
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:52.640
some movies this week. We'll talk
about those. We'll talk about some TV

10
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:58.280
news. It's we're big on celebrities
behaving badly. Of course, there's always

11
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:03.879
some theme park information news or whatever
that we'd like to throw out there,

12
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:11.879
like the death watch for the Splash
Mountain at Disneyland. It's now gone,

13
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:19.640
it's under scaffolding. And before we
get to the movies, you know those

14
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:25.439
tags that the people at Disneyland were
wearing that we would usually they say what

15
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:29.599
town they're from. Well, during
the hundred like for the last you know,

16
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:32.519
year they've been they got rid of
that, and they just put their

17
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:37.239
their characters name. So we talked
about this with Brady McDonald from the Orange

18
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:42.159
Country Register and a couple of weeks
back and and I asked him if could

19
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:46.680
you get Uncle remus as as your
favorite character? And he says, now

20
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:53.159
there's a list. They've even approved
list of innocuous characters that can't offend anybody,

21
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:57.760
which I get it they got to
do that, but I'm always looking

22
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:04.120
for mischief. So they're bringing back
the cities now, so they're they're getting

23
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:07.799
rid of the characters and now it's
just the city that you're from. Okay,

24
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:09.719
cool if you always like that because
it gave you a chance to actually

25
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:14.159
have a conversation with people, especially
if they're from your neighborhood right or you're

26
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:17.960
from Hawaiian Gardens. What's that like? Have you been stabbed? Stuff like

27
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:28.039
that. The if you see someone
with Anaheim on their on their badge something

28
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:30.759
I do know, it means they
don't want to talk to you. It

29
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:35.800
doesn't mean they're from Anaheim. I'm
willing to bet that's a way that you

30
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:38.240
know you want to limit conversation.
Gout. I'm from right here, from

31
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:40.000
right here, Yeah, really,
how long did it take to get to

32
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:43.919
work? How long do you think? All right, move along, people,

33
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:47.800
you're standing in the way. Okay, so let's start with the movies.

34
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:53.400
Uh. What we do is we
look at the box office. It's

35
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:58.000
very clever, and then we figure
out what's the best movie, what's the

36
00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:02.759
top movie? The the top movie
number one? This week, Sam,

37
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:08.560
I almost saw it, then I
changed my mind. The Nune two or

38
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:20.080
monha dos as they say in Hawaiian
gardens, it is down fifty five from

39
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:24.800
last week. And the Haunting of
Venice in ventis a Haunting in Venice,

40
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:34.360
the Agatha Christie mystery. People thought
it might be the number one movie,

41
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:38.520
but it got edged out by monha
dose and it got fourteen million. And

42
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:43.039
I understand you saw that. We'll
talk about that. The Equalizer three.

43
00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:46.759
I mean, I couldn't even pretend
to want to see that, My big,

44
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:50.439
big fat Greek wedding three. That's
a movie you let your wife watch

45
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:53.400
over and over when you're when you're
doing something else at home. It's not

46
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:59.520
where you go to the theater for. You know, Barbie. I keep

47
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:01.479
trying to tell my friends who go
see Barbie, you saw it, right?

48
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:05.000
I haven't yet. I've been meaning
to it because everybody's been telling me

49
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:08.479
that you're one of those movies.
You're one of those MACHOs. I know

50
00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:13.400
your type. Oh yeah, so
that's what I get from my friends,

51
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:15.919
like I would never see Barbie.
What if I told you it's really good

52
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:18.639
and really funny, I wouldn't.
And then I a guy I know who's

53
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:23.000
not very macho. In fact,
he loves musicals. He saw it and

54
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:27.399
he thought it sounded like it was
like listening to a girl complained for two

55
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:34.800
hours, and I was it was
hot Jawan number six. That's an Indian

56
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:40.319
movie. A lot of Indian stuff
going to be flood in this country because

57
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:44.079
of the strike. So you you
might notice on your Netflix they're like trying

58
00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:47.680
to position Indian movies as English movies. Was subtypes. You know, it's

59
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:55.199
gonna be fine, there's gonna watch
it's like a French you know. Production

60
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:58.720
value in Bollywood is great, there's
no question about it. They got good

61
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:01.279
stuff out sometimes. But then remember
that movie that we talked about them.

62
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:05.120
They're big blockbusters. About the highest
rated movie every time came out of India.

63
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:09.800
Last year. I went to see
it and it was garbage, a

64
00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:15.160
bad special effects Blue Beetle still hanging
in there at number seven. Not interested.

65
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:18.959
Grand Thereismo based on a true story. That's the title of the movie.

66
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:27.199
Grand Thereismo based on a true story. It's a good movie. Oppenheimer.

67
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:30.720
Still in the top ten at number
nine, number ten, Teenage Mutant,

68
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:32.800
Ninja, Turtles, and number eleven. Will just say that because that's

69
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:39.759
the movie I saw Bottoms. I
gotta hear about this. You saw bottoms.

70
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:43.000
Bottoms is a is a high school
film. It's a kind of a

71
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:48.959
cross between American pie and rock and
roll high school and a really bad movie.

72
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:56.079
You could just name any teen bad
movie. So it's it's a half

73
00:05:56.120 --> 00:06:03.439
baked, silly story about two lesbian
girls in a high school who are self

74
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:10.160
described as ugly and untalented, and
they're trying to start a fight club so

75
00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:17.920
they can bed down with cheerleaders.
So it's got a lot of things that

76
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:21.720
you don't expect you're going to get
from like a woke lesbian movie. They're

77
00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:27.959
obsessed with hot cheerleaders. You know, they're not you know, some lesbians

78
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:30.879
are like, oh I look like
this, and I dare you to to

79
00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:36.879
not think this is normal or whatever. And I don't subscribe to Western values

80
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:42.759
of femininity. And I'm not going
to dress up like a blow up doll

81
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:47.240
for you, you male chauvinist pig. Sometimes you get that in my mind.

82
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:50.720
What do I know? But these
girls, you know, they don't

83
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:56.560
look great. They both have style, but all they want to do is

84
00:06:56.600 --> 00:07:00.839
do it with cheerleaders. Female chauvinists, female chaubness. Yes, and there

85
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:08.439
so you might you kind of identify
with them because you're looking at cheerleaders and

86
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:13.079
you're going, now, I get
it. Those cheerleaders are hot. And

87
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:17.360
so they start a fight club and
to learn, and it doesn't make any

88
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:19.839
sense, right, fight while you're
starting to fight club. It never made

89
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:23.959
sense. And they didn't have anyone
teaching them how to fight. But they

90
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:28.079
thought if they could teach everyone how
to fight, they could defend themselves when

91
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:31.680
the rival high school comes to beat
them up, because that's a rumor around

92
00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:36.240
town that the rival high school at
homecoming is gonna it's gonna beat up everybody.

93
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:41.240
So none of it made sense,
I mean very little of it.

94
00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:45.360
And it was a stretch. It
was you just the whole time, you're

95
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:48.600
wondering, like, I wonder what
quality movie was not made so that the

96
00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:54.920
funds for this movie could be made
available. And I wonder who is like

97
00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:59.040
on Suicide Watch for you know,
when someone at a studio said, well,

98
00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:03.399
we can't make your movie. We're
making bottoms. But there are a

99
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:07.600
lot of funny jokes in it on
the upside. On the downside, if

100
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:11.199
you're you know, if you're in
the camp in our country, which i'd

101
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:15.079
probably say is at least fifty percent
of the America that doesn't want to see

102
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:20.879
high school lesbianism normalized, you don't
want to see this movie because, yeah,

103
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:24.680
it's normalizing. So if you if
that's you, you don't want to

104
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:30.160
see this movie. I see these
movies, so you don't have to.

105
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:33.679
But it was. It was morally
offensive. But I have to say,

106
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:37.200
you've given me every single reason why
I gotta see it. I just gotta

107
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:43.559
tell you, well, for degenerates
like producer Sam, this is a dream

108
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:50.840
film and you should rush out and
see it. I guess the sooner wor

109
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:56.080
now. There was a stillard performance
of the teacher of these two girls by

110
00:08:56.120 --> 00:09:00.720
a gentleman you might know Sam named
Marshawn Lynch. Yeah, football player,

111
00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:03.519
yes, beast mode. He was
as good as any rapper that ever you

112
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:07.039
know acted in a movie or you
know the rappers, I all say,

113
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:09.240
oh, you're a rapper, you
can be in this movie. Well,

114
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:16.840
this guy's a good actor, and
he's funny and he's got all the skills

115
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:22.960
you need to be a film actor. So look for more Marshawn Lynch in

116
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:28.600
movies coming to you. Now,
you saw a movie, And I guess

117
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:30.799
we'll take a break now and we'll
check the traffic, and we're going to

118
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:37.120
talk about the film that producer Sam
saw right here on Joe Sclante Live from

119
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:43.840
Hollywood, Joe Scolmante Live from Hollywood, by Hollywood, Mean Burbank. Okay,

120
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:50.639
the engineer Sam has seen a movie. And I want to know,

121
00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:52.639
Sam, what movie did you see
this week? I saw a Haunting in

122
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:56.240
Venice, the number two movie in
the country this year this year or the

123
00:09:56.279 --> 00:10:01.279
swimber two movies this week? Okay? And did you see the last one

124
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:03.759
that was The Death on the Nile. I think that was no. I

125
00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:05.360
missed that one. And I went
with a bunch of friends who were fans

126
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:07.039
of the series, and I was
like, you know what, I might

127
00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:11.399
as well. I really do like
murder mysteries. I just haven't had a

128
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:13.200
chance to go and catch a lot
of movies recently, but this one was

129
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:18.519
good. I enjoyed it. My
only issue with it was that it's something

130
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:22.799
that I appreciate, but I felt
like it's it made the movie suffer.

131
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:26.960
Was a shorter run time really because
it was less than two hours. I'm

132
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.480
like, that's great, I think
I want that. Yeah, the problem

133
00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:33.600
is that it felt like a lot
of things were like, well, not

134
00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:37.639
a lot of things, but certain
things were rushed and they didn't get to

135
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:39.679
spend enough time to focus on it, so and it just kind of gets

136
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:43.919
brushed off a little. But it's
still a murder mystery. It's still a

137
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:48.399
great who done it? It's you
know, for some people they find that

138
00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:50.840
stuff very boring and for some people
they yet they're on their edge of the

139
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:56.679
seat the whole time. And I
enjoyed it. It was fun. Well,

140
00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:01.279
I'm glad you saw something. I'm
going to see that this week for

141
00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:05.399
sure. And then what did I
see in my letter boxed? I saw

142
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:09.200
you know, I was watching I'm
watched this week a Wolf of Wall Street

143
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:16.240
and The Big Short. So these
are all you know, high to testosterone

144
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:22.320
you know, uh, financial traders
being bad boys, and those are fun

145
00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:26.840
to watch over and over again.
Leonardo Dicapriel, Well, you know what,

146
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:31.960
we're just just had grateful, like
some of these actors that got into

147
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:37.240
acting. And he's a great actor. I love everything he does, except

148
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:41.320
for when he starts talking about climate
change. But you know, what are

149
00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:46.480
you gonna do? We have a
first Amendment in this country. There's an

150
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:54.600
article about the top ten movies of
well, this guy Richard Rust Rushfeld that

151
00:11:56.519 --> 00:12:03.600
has a column called The Ankler,
which has turned into a big Hollywood podcast,

152
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:07.120
newsletter all kinds of stuff, has
come out and said, nineteen ninety

153
00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:16.519
nine is possibly the best year for
movies ever. Nineteen ninety nine. Yeah,

154
00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:20.320
nineteen ninety nine. So let me
go over the movie. The movies

155
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:22.399
that that he said, I've seen
most of them, but not all of

156
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:30.960
them, being John Malkovic, great
movie, American Beauty, great movie,

157
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:35.399
one of the best picture. Yeah, Boys Don't Cry, very good movie.

158
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:41.600
Lets you Don't Hear Three Kings?
I remember that sat in the theater

159
00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:50.039
Boogie Nights. Great movie. Mmm, doesn't have these in a very good

160
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:58.559
organized as one of those articles where
it's like, here's one and we'll talk

161
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:00.720
about it for a bit. And
step of just giving us a list,

162
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:05.120
yeah, I don't have a list. That's very good. Honorable mention was

163
00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:11.080
South Park, Bigger, Longer and
uncut. Yes, Princess mana Oki animated,

164
00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:16.879
Gible Movie Studios. Great movie,
outstanding, the talented mister Ripley Ripley.

165
00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:22.120
Yeah, yeah, that's what I
say on that one too, Cookies

166
00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:26.360
Fortune from Robert Altman. These movies
are you know, sometimes they're great,

167
00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:31.120
sometimes they're not so much. Autumn
Tail. I didn't see Mansfield Park.

168
00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:37.519
I didn't see the Hurricane. I
didn't see anyway. Oh I wasn't not

169
00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:41.799
done Cela, Yeah, as a
hurricane. Carter the box Well, the

170
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:43.320
Boxer movie. Yeah, I know
this movie. Great movie. I might

171
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:46.879
have seen it. But I forget
movies, and that's why I have the

172
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:52.080
letterbox to count, so I don't
forget the movies. I saw U Tarzan,

173
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:56.440
the Disney movie. They said,
I've got an honorable mention. It's

174
00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:01.440
not in the top ten. But
Toy Toy Story two. I think that

175
00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:07.519
one set a standard for story for
just the effort put into story for the

176
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:13.320
Pixar movies. Yeah, sure,
for years to come. So I thought

177
00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:18.559
that's kind of cool. I like
that list. Ninety nine obviously was a

178
00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:20.679
good year. I can think of
other years. I think that I feel

179
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:26.240
like had a better collection of movies, and I honestly this year has three

180
00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:31.080
months left in it, and there
have been several good films that came out

181
00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:35.240
this year. Twenty nineteen to me
is the best mirror form movies that I've

182
00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:41.799
I remember in a long time.
That's and the best one being Once upon

183
00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:45.759
a Time in Hollywood. But maybe
during the break I'll look up and see

184
00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:48.360
the other movies of twenty nineteen.
It's all the stuff right before the pandemic.

185
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:52.840
I mean, obviously the production suffered
because of the pandemic. There's gonna

186
00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:56.840
be kind of a genre of films
that were you could tell this was made

187
00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:00.840
during the pandemic. Well, the
movies that came out in twenty were not

188
00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:03.440
made during the pandemic, and they
were hardly any good ones. Yeah,

189
00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:07.120
he was just a bad year,
and twenty nineteen was a good year.

190
00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:09.919
But twenty twenty one you had there
was like two Keanu Reeves movies, the

191
00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:13.639
Bill and Ted movie and the Matrix
movie. Both of those you could tell

192
00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:18.399
there weren't very many people that were
allowed to be around the production. Yeah,

193
00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:24.720
so it's yeah, it's it seems
like this year production value and standards

194
00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:28.320
have kind of gotten back to how
they were pre pandemic. But the quality

195
00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:33.159
of the films this year, yeah, I mean really had the Spider Man

196
00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:35.360
movie, you had Guardians of the
Galaxy. Just from the superhero movies,

197
00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:39.039
there was a lot of good ones. Then you had Barbie, and you

198
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:45.120
had Oppenheimer and yeah, and they
stunned everybody. Yeah, you had what

199
00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:48.720
was it, the Mission Impossible movie
that was a great movie. Yeah.

200
00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:50.159
Yeah, it kind of took a
back seat to Barbenheimer. That's a great

201
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:54.399
movie. There were several good films
so far, and we still have like

202
00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:56.720
what two and a half months left. I'm curious to see how this year

203
00:15:56.879 --> 00:16:00.399
will shape up and weigh off against
all of the other years that we've had.

204
00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:07.919
Well, the movies. Now that
you've mentioned movies, I'm glad you

205
00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:15.240
mentioned movies because because the movies that
are anticipated coming you know soon, are

206
00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:21.399
the Exorcist Believer. People are saying
it's good the creator Wait a second,

207
00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:22.639
no one says the exorcistem is good. I haven't heard anything about it.

208
00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:26.759
I don't want to say that.
The Creator, directed by my my new

209
00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:34.000
friend Gareth Edwards and Lord of the
Rings. The trailer for Creator looked great

210
00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:40.360
last night at the theater and pap
Patrol I know that's a big one in

211
00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:48.519
your thing. Killers of the Flower
Moon with Leonardo DiCaprio is a very old

212
00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:55.600
Robert Danio. That movie the most
recent trailer that they've had had one line

213
00:16:55.639 --> 00:17:03.759
in it from critics best role of
Leonardo DiCaprio's entire life. Wow, and

214
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:08.400
can't be better than Gilbert Grape.
I love that movie. But I gotta

215
00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:15.440
tell you this, he was unrecognizable. He does not look like himself.

216
00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:18.400
I was I was like, that
kind of looks like Leo. But that's

217
00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:23.160
got to be a different actors to
me. He in this This movie looks

218
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:29.519
outstanding. The most recent trailer I
the trailers previously that I saw in the

219
00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:33.240
theater got my attention. This one
has every bit of it. Like I

220
00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:37.319
alright, I saw this most recent
one and I threw my money at it.

221
00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:42.680
Yeah, yeah, I'm the same
way. What about the Marvels ladies

222
00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:45.759
looking forward? Are you looking forward
just to it just because you're woke?

223
00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:51.880
No, I'm looking forward to because
I actually am hoping that the Marvel Universe

224
00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:55.480
can slowly pick itself back up off
the floor. I mean yeah, but

225
00:17:55.519 --> 00:17:57.960
are you really looking forward? Oh? Absolutely, yeah, totally, totally

226
00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:03.880
Okay. That's a fun trailer to
at least true. It is Joesclante Live

227
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:10.519
from Hollywood. Back after this,
Joe Wescolante Live from Hollywood. By Hollywood,

228
00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:14.680
we mean Burbank. This is the
business end of show business every Sunday

229
00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:19.640
from five to seven. It is
five thirty six right now on a Sunday

230
00:18:19.640 --> 00:18:30.480
evening here in Hollywood, otherwise known
as Burbank. And here's an interesting deal

231
00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:33.519
point. We talk about deals here, kind of what the show is supposed

232
00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:38.200
to be about, Hollywood deals.
It's a deal. I mean, I'm

233
00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:45.680
a dealmaker. I was a negotiator
in television for a while. And this

234
00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:52.759
is a clause in Kevin Costner's Yellowstone
contract that I've never seen before. But

235
00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:56.599
now there's kind of gone back and
forth about whether he's going to come back

236
00:18:56.599 --> 00:19:02.680
to Yellowstone, or whether he's going
to sue them, or whether Taylor Sheridan,

237
00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:06.000
show runner, is going to get
the scripts done on time, or

238
00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:10.079
whether he's gonna fire Kevin Costner.
Is Kevin Costner hard to work with?

239
00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:12.920
Is he? Or is he just
sitting there waiting for them to get their

240
00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:19.599
act together. He's got some movies
he's making, like a three part movie

241
00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:26.000
trilogy. Maybe he's trying to copy
my favorite movie or one of my favorite

242
00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:30.000
movies, The Human Condition, the
nine hour Japanese drama he's trying to get

243
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:33.160
into. I mean, if I
if I, you know, had the

244
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:37.799
the support that Kevin Costner has in
the movie business, I might try to

245
00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:41.160
make a Human Condition. He's over
due. He was off the radar for

246
00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:45.759
a good fifteen years. Well,
so it's good to see that he's starting

247
00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:49.880
to put stuff back together. I
think the last thing I remember him having

248
00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:56.720
some kind of impact with was that
golf movie Tin Cup. But after that

249
00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:59.759
he fell off. He was off
the radar for a long time. Well,

250
00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:03.960
right now he's got the biggest TV
show in America. Well there you

251
00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:07.079
go, and he's about to make
this three this three part movie thing.

252
00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:10.480
Have you seen The Human Condition?
Have you seen any of it? Haven't?

253
00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:14.119
I've been meaning to ever since you
mentioned it, because I'm I'm on

254
00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:18.160
round two now. Yeah, nothing
sounds like entertainment. And like how I

255
00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:23.839
want to spend my weekend better than
a nine hour film, and sometimes in

256
00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:30.599
subtitles black and white. Please I'm
getting I'm aroused. Well, you might

257
00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:34.960
be like the one I'm making.
It's called the human Centipede condition. That

258
00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:40.680
was in three parts as well,
I want to be aroused. I'll be

259
00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:45.559
updating on that. Well. This
clause that Kevin Costner has in his contract

260
00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:48.759
is called a moral death provision.
That's what they know about what it's known

261
00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:55.559
by. It is a clause inserted
during one of his renegotiations where this,

262
00:20:56.200 --> 00:20:57.559
you know, the story was getting
big or the show's getting big, and

263
00:20:57.599 --> 00:21:00.160
they really need him. He's got
a lot of leverage. So he says

264
00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:07.440
in general terms the various ways that
his character John Dutton can or cannot be

265
00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:11.079
killed off. So he's not the
writer of the show. The star does

266
00:21:11.119 --> 00:21:14.640
not write the show. And if
the star tries to write the show,

267
00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:18.759
the we've got problems because the show
runner, you know, is the guy

268
00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:22.920
who's writing the show, or at
least dictating who's you know, who's writing

269
00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:26.559
what parts of what scripts or whatever. So his character cannot be killed off

270
00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:32.720
by a death that would cause shame
or embarrassment to the fictional character of John

271
00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:37.519
Dutton and and implicitly to cost Her
in his family too. So it can't

272
00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:41.240
be he can't be like killed.
He can't be turned into a human centipede

273
00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:48.319
and then that and thrown off the
into the Grand Canyon or anything like that,

274
00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:51.440
because that would cause shame. That's
a crossover. I'd love to see

275
00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:55.000
Costner in human Centipede. Yes.
And if by the way, if you've

276
00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:57.839
never heard human centipede, who ever
heard of it? Don't google it?

277
00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:02.920
That's my I just don't you just
do You can go through your life without

278
00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:08.039
googling that. Do you want to
talk about some music? Yeahs music?

279
00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:15.759
Uh? The Rolling Stone co founder
Jan Venner, it's been canceled. What

280
00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:22.039
did Jan do? He is also
one of the Rock and Roll Hall of

281
00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:27.799
Fame board members and he's I mean, think about it. He starts Rolling

282
00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:32.279
Stone magazine. It's like the biggest, you know, rock magazine. Oh

283
00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:37.039
oh, that's why that name sounded
familiar or winner or whatever you call it.

284
00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:41.759
Yeah, right now, his name
is Jan Loser. What happened does

285
00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:45.640
I'm seriously one of the biggest names
in Rolling Stone magazine, like of all

286
00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:52.799
time. He's interviewed all the greats. Yeah, and evidently he fell into

287
00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:59.799
a human centipede, don't we all
though? Come on? And he vlogged

288
00:22:59.799 --> 00:23:07.400
about out it. He uh was
being interviewed about his book that he wrote,

289
00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:11.039
like I think it's a compendium of
all the greatest interviews ever and it's

290
00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:14.359
called The Masters. These are the
Masters. Then he made a bunch of

291
00:23:14.359 --> 00:23:18.119
comments about why there's no black people
or women in there, basically saying they

292
00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:22.440
can't cut it. That's yeah,
this is ahead of a rolling stone.

293
00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:27.000
Rolling Stone, by the way,
has become like, you know, kind

294
00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:33.240
of a tool of the of the
left to advance their agenda, whether you

295
00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:37.920
like it or not, that's kind
of what they become. And they do,

296
00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:41.960
you know, like they did that
article on the lacrosse thing to try

297
00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:47.160
to make frat boys look terrible and
turn out to be false. Then they

298
00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:49.839
had to clawback another one we were
talking about a couple of weeks ago.

299
00:23:52.279 --> 00:23:56.759
So it's I mean, they almost
died from that lacrosse thing because they they

300
00:23:56.799 --> 00:24:00.400
they they ruined a bunch of people's
lives, and because they wanted to believe

301
00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:08.799
this trans party good time girl,
and and they wanted to make their statement

302
00:24:08.880 --> 00:24:12.559
that frats are are doucy. You
know what, we all know frats are

303
00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:17.480
doucy. But you know, you
don't can't ruin people's lives over it.

304
00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:21.000
Would we like frats to go away, you know in their present form?

305
00:24:21.119 --> 00:24:25.519
Yeah? But can you to try
to destroy them with fake news? No?

306
00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:29.400
But so and then I forgot what
was the way we were talking about

307
00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:33.039
him just a couple of weeks ago. They're up to some other shenanigans.

308
00:24:34.599 --> 00:24:41.319
But now the Jon Ventnor, I
mean, you can't be the Rolling Stone

309
00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:42.599
guy. I mean, if they're
like you know, they're they're progressive,

310
00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:45.359
let's say, not a tool of
the left, but they're progressive. They're

311
00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:49.960
they're carry the progressive flag. And
then you you're saying that you can't have

312
00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:55.920
black people or women in your book
because they're not articulate enough on this and

313
00:24:56.039 --> 00:25:00.720
tech intellectual level that he's on.
So he's he he's out of here.

314
00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:07.559
No one, no one cares in
this room. Well, I know,

315
00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:11.880
it's just that's the thing. It's
someone that if you that's an inside baseball

316
00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:15.160
kind of guy, if you know
the music industry and you know, you

317
00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:18.799
know, like the history of Rolling
Stone magazine, you'll know who he is.

318
00:25:19.119 --> 00:25:22.920
Outside of that, You're like,
who's this douche? He says,

319
00:25:22.200 --> 00:25:26.400
You know, maybe I'm old fashioned
and I don't give a blank or whatever.

320
00:25:27.319 --> 00:25:33.200
I wish in retrospect, I could
have interviewed Marvin Gaye. Maybe he'd

321
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:37.160
have been the guy. Or maybe
Otis Redding, had he lived, would

322
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:40.480
have been the guy. He's looking
for, a guy who's articulate on this

323
00:25:40.599 --> 00:25:48.039
level. He's apologized, he said
he didn't mean any of it. And

324
00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:55.319
you know, I forgive him because
there was a big sermon this morning at

325
00:25:55.359 --> 00:25:59.359
church about forgiveness. So I gotta
forgive everybody. I forgive you, I

326
00:25:59.400 --> 00:26:07.400
forgive the quiet today. Yeah,
I forgive them though, Okay, okay,

327
00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:11.039
speaking of a guys like that,
that that that that once carried the

328
00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:22.960
flag for of progressives, what do
you think about? And where's the guy?

329
00:26:23.400 --> 00:26:27.000
What do you think about? Where
is the guy? The guy who

330
00:26:27.039 --> 00:26:33.279
married Katy Perry, the guy who
married for a while, somebody married Katy

331
00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:38.480
Perry. I have too many,
too many I have too many notes in

332
00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:41.519
front of me. So here's what
I'm gonna do. Go to my computer.

333
00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:44.440
All I do is just stare at
Katy Perry and I don't care who's

334
00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:48.000
around her. Well, I have
so many notes, so many good stories

335
00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:51.680
to cover. I have to.
I have to just I have to.

336
00:26:52.160 --> 00:26:56.079
I had to to get to this
story. I had to just do go

337
00:26:56.160 --> 00:27:00.599
to my digital copy of my notes
and uh, I can't remember the name,

338
00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:04.960
his name or whatever. But I
had just put in search the word

339
00:27:06.039 --> 00:27:10.160
rape and it came out. So
when we come back, Wow, there's

340
00:27:10.160 --> 00:27:14.799
a celebrity accused of rape, sexual
assault, and emotional abuse. What's new?

341
00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:22.279
But this one will surprise you.
Joeyscalante Live from Hollywood Traffic pretty creepy

342
00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:33.160
Joelante Live from Hollywood. I'll accept, I will I take responsibility for all

343
00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:38.960
the creepiness in this show. We
Uh, Sam, You're familiar with the

344
00:27:40.119 --> 00:27:44.000
NIL deal, right? No?
Which is the NIL deal? The name,

345
00:27:44.279 --> 00:27:47.720
image and likeness deal that the athletes
game? Yes? Yes, yes,

346
00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:52.039
it's in general then nil deal.
Yeah, it's the reason why old

347
00:27:52.079 --> 00:27:56.480
athletes like Charles Barkley are Their likeness
isn't used in video games today. Wait

348
00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:02.720
the way I'm talking about it where
it's different, it's a different thing.

349
00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:11.799
It is a it's connected to that. But they are allowing student athletes not

350
00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:17.640
to get paid but they can sell
the rights to their name, image and

351
00:28:17.680 --> 00:28:23.599
likeness, so they get to in
college. It's one thing. Okay,

352
00:28:23.759 --> 00:28:30.400
college, you're generating a billions for
your school and you and you're you can't

353
00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:33.440
even pay your rent. And then
of course they get boosters to come in

354
00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:40.039
and you know, help you out. But at some point, you know,

355
00:28:40.119 --> 00:28:41.480
just like overnight, I don't even
want paying attention when a sudden it

356
00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:44.799
happened, because you know what,
go ahead, you can make deals to

357
00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:48.200
sell products, endorsed products. Name, image and likeness is worth something,

358
00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:52.039
go ahead and sell it. There
was a kid the high school in my

359
00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:55.880
neighborhood, the high school I went
to, still live in the district,

360
00:28:56.960 --> 00:29:00.799
driving around school and a one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars Mercedes as a junior

361
00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:06.480
Wow, as a junior sam because
he sold his life list. Yeah the

362
00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:11.839
deal. He was a top ranked
maybe number one, number two ranked quarterback

363
00:29:11.880 --> 00:29:15.960
in the country along with Arch Manning
and Maliki Nelson from Los Elmigles High School.

364
00:29:15.160 --> 00:29:19.000
Those two guys are neck and neck
that year, and they both had

365
00:29:19.079 --> 00:29:23.680
nil deals and they made a lot
of money. And then he gets drafted.

366
00:29:23.759 --> 00:29:30.279
I mean, he goes to Oklahoma
and then Lincoln Riley ends up leaving

367
00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:33.319
there, so him and his receiver
went there, Mackai Lemon and then Lincoln

368
00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:38.079
Riley that coach moved to USC.
They let them both follow Lincoln Riley to

369
00:29:38.200 --> 00:29:41.720
USC. And now he's he's a
third stringer, but he's making millions,

370
00:29:42.240 --> 00:29:45.599
So what does he care. He's
making millions and he's and by the time

371
00:29:45.599 --> 00:29:49.480
he's a junior, he'll be the
first string guy and he'll be healthy.

372
00:29:49.799 --> 00:29:52.240
He has two years at college as
a healthy guy, and he goes into

373
00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:57.680
the NFL. So in a way, he's not scrambling for you know,

374
00:29:57.720 --> 00:30:02.720
he's not scrambling for money or or
even playtime, you know, because he

375
00:30:02.759 --> 00:30:07.480
knows everything's going to be fine.
But obviously the this is just, you

376
00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:11.039
know, just the worst case scenario
for a lot of people think this will

377
00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:15.640
ruin sports, ruin kids. I've
watched it, and I've seen Malachi and

378
00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:18.480
his receiver, Mackai. They have
these deals and they have you know,

379
00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:23.319
nice cars and nice clothes. Uh, you know, they're now in college

380
00:30:23.640 --> 00:30:32.440
and they're fine young men from all
appearances. The now there's been an article

381
00:30:32.519 --> 00:30:42.599
that was that was printed recently as
part of Sports illustrated coverage of this this

382
00:30:44.119 --> 00:30:53.079
kind of stuff and the school Michigan
says, since they've had their NIO deals,

383
00:30:53.079 --> 00:30:59.119
some of their players had him that
they're they were reluctant, but they're

384
00:30:59.160 --> 00:31:04.680
saying it has made the players their
football program better and rather than fraying the

385
00:31:04.680 --> 00:31:08.400
team's culture, the nil deal has
reinforced it. And in the past two

386
00:31:08.480 --> 00:31:14.119
years, the Wolverines say they've played
harder with a hyper focus on team performance,

387
00:31:14.680 --> 00:31:18.279
and they've grown closer and their bonds
with one another and the fan base

388
00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:22.839
have strengthened. Since the Supreme Court
ruling that allowed this to happen, Michigan

389
00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:26.799
has won back to back to Big
Ten championships and earned berths in the first

390
00:31:26.839 --> 00:31:30.440
past two college football playoffs. Go
Blue. It has done this by fitting

391
00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:36.400
a blue collar approach into a flash
and cash era. The best players get

392
00:31:36.440 --> 00:31:41.359
the most playing time and the most
endorsement money. Seniors show freshmen how to

393
00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:45.559
succeed in the Big Ten and in
marketing. Because they're marketing themselves now,

394
00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:49.440
more stars look out for the lesser
known. The offense is built around a

395
00:31:49.599 --> 00:31:56.119
power run game. Players routinely outperform
their recruiting rankings, and while individuals can

396
00:31:56.200 --> 00:32:00.680
make big money, the team still
comes first, and there's stories about like

397
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:04.960
guys just like putting piles of cash
in the in the offensive lineman's lockers.

398
00:32:05.160 --> 00:32:08.200
Yeah, because they're they're even though
they're more valuable in the draft these days

399
00:32:08.839 --> 00:32:13.079
than quarterbacks, in many cases,
they don't make any money on these nil

400
00:32:13.119 --> 00:32:15.559
deals because they're not sexy. Well, think about it, there's more of

401
00:32:15.559 --> 00:32:19.200
it when you're coming out of high
school. The team that especially if you're

402
00:32:19.200 --> 00:32:22.599
a college a high school athlete,
your buddies, the ones that are around

403
00:32:22.599 --> 00:32:24.599
you, that's those are your people, that's what you have, and you

404
00:32:24.640 --> 00:32:28.960
haven't developed a sense of like selfishness
and I just need to look after myself.

405
00:32:29.319 --> 00:32:31.920
They a lot of times they haven't
had the like when the money comes

406
00:32:31.920 --> 00:32:35.920
to them, they're and that at
that point where they want to take care

407
00:32:35.960 --> 00:32:38.200
of everybody, They're not in the
place where they want to, you know,

408
00:32:38.319 --> 00:32:42.839
hoard all of that money and just
keep it for themselves. So it

409
00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:47.079
makes sense that it would increase that
sense of a bond and you know,

410
00:32:47.160 --> 00:32:52.359
like commitment to the team. When
you're approaching younger players with that kind of

411
00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:57.359
money, the better players because they
are looking out after the players below them.

412
00:32:57.359 --> 00:32:59.960
They are taking care of them.
They're not doing it from a perspect

413
00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:02.759
of I need to just keep this
money for myself. They know that they

414
00:33:02.799 --> 00:33:07.119
have a bigger paycheck waiting for them
once they get to the NFL. Well,

415
00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:10.799
now they're getting a paycheck in high
school. Hey, there were a

416
00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:15.200
lot of them quietly, very illegally. We're doing it anyways, that's true.

417
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:19.759
It cuts down on all of that. Yeah, it makes it so

418
00:33:19.880 --> 00:33:23.319
now there's more of a chance for
the kids to legally go and pay their

419
00:33:23.319 --> 00:33:29.160
bills. They don't have to struggle
to to get whatever tiny meal they may

420
00:33:29.200 --> 00:33:31.319
be able to get, or pay
their rent or whatever because they can't get

421
00:33:31.359 --> 00:33:37.200
a job or sell their bodies on
Craigslist. Yeah, or on only fans

422
00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:45.240
only fans. So remember the rape
story. I was teasing Russell Brand whoa

423
00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:50.160
Russell Brand accused of rape, sexual
assault and emotional abuse. I've read all

424
00:33:50.160 --> 00:33:55.240
the articles about this that have come
out today, and the allegations take place

425
00:33:55.279 --> 00:34:00.960
between two thousand and six and twenty
thirteen, or the result of a joint

426
00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:06.960
investigation by The Sunday Times and the
Channel four Dispatches. These are English papers

427
00:34:07.000 --> 00:34:13.880
because he's an English guy, and
they they have these ladies have said luck

428
00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:20.159
that guy forced themself. I mean, it's it's all the salacious details that

429
00:34:20.159 --> 00:34:22.320
you don't I don't have to go
through it. It's everything you've heard.

430
00:34:23.320 --> 00:34:25.719
Forced. He forced me to do
this. He forced me to do that.

431
00:34:27.159 --> 00:34:30.519
I was sixteen. Oh geez.
Yeah. And there was one he

432
00:34:30.559 --> 00:34:35.519
referred to as the child they say, and you know, there's some there

433
00:34:35.519 --> 00:34:38.280
seems to be quite a bit of
evidence. You know, everyone's doing the

434
00:34:38.440 --> 00:34:44.400
the the the deal. When someone
gets canceled, they start distancing themselves from

435
00:34:44.519 --> 00:34:52.400
him. And he says, there's
more at work here than just your average

436
00:34:52.920 --> 00:34:57.400
cancelation project. And we'll talk a
little bit about that. What's happening to

437
00:34:57.559 --> 00:35:02.440
Russell Brand when we come back for
our two on Joe'scalante Live from Hollywood Joe

438
00:35:02.559 --> 00:35:07.159
Escalante Live from Hollywood. If by
Hollywood you mean Burbank, here we are

439
00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:14.760
now we're number two of a live
show and AM radio. AM radio is

440
00:35:14.760 --> 00:35:19.280
pretty cool. Just ask you know
some of the legends that have been on

441
00:35:19.320 --> 00:35:22.760
AM radio, like wolf Wolf,
Wolfman Puck. I don't know if you

442
00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:27.239
know him, well, I thought
it was Wolfman Jack. That guy's good

443
00:35:27.239 --> 00:35:30.280
too. Yeah, yeah, because
a legend. Thank you, Wolfman Puck

444
00:35:30.360 --> 00:35:36.480
makes good pizzas. I think Wolfman
Puck is. Hey, did you ever

445
00:35:36.480 --> 00:35:38.360
go to not Scary Farm? Yes? I love it there, It's awesome.

446
00:35:38.480 --> 00:35:42.679
I've started going to Not Scary Farm
the first year, the second year.

447
00:35:42.960 --> 00:35:45.000
First year, they no one really
knew they had it. They were

448
00:35:45.039 --> 00:35:47.559
just like threw it up. They
weren't marketing it. Second year they put

449
00:35:47.599 --> 00:35:52.199
an ad in the the Orange County
Register where in the paper in my family

450
00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:55.920
got and I saw it. I
go back. I think it was Wolfman

451
00:35:57.000 --> 00:36:01.159
Puck, might have man wolf Man
Jack. It might have been Wolfgang Jack.

452
00:36:01.880 --> 00:36:08.760
Uh, Wolfgang Puck, that's the
pizza guy. So uh, I

453
00:36:08.800 --> 00:36:12.559
went, oh wait, I now
I know who it was. It was

454
00:36:12.599 --> 00:36:17.239
Seymour. Seymour from behind the Slimy
Wall. He was the host, the

455
00:36:17.280 --> 00:36:22.079
local host of the horror films.
Yeah, okay, so Seymour was appearing

456
00:36:22.079 --> 00:36:23.119
and I would go see Seymour anywhere. I saw him all the time.

457
00:36:23.400 --> 00:36:28.480
Oh, he's a hosting movie movie
nights. And uh. It was kind

458
00:36:28.480 --> 00:36:32.199
of like the way you see these
little kids are They're they're watching YouTube and

459
00:36:32.199 --> 00:36:37.960
they're listening to some middle aged man
play uh minecraft or whatever, or they're

460
00:36:37.960 --> 00:36:39.320
watching a middle aged man play Minecraft
and you're going, what are you doing?

461
00:36:40.000 --> 00:36:45.000
I was like that. I was
watching an old man introduced horror movies

462
00:36:45.000 --> 00:36:49.440
and he was my hero and I
would go see him everywhere. Uh he

463
00:36:49.480 --> 00:36:51.559
never laid a hand on me.
So don't I know what you're thinking.

464
00:36:52.039 --> 00:36:55.920
But I'm glad that you answered that
before my mind went there. Yeah,

465
00:36:57.000 --> 00:37:02.480
I know you so. Yeah.
And then wolf then yeah, Wolfman Jack

466
00:37:02.599 --> 00:37:08.440
ended up at the Not Scary Farm
and I liked him because of the movie

467
00:37:08.599 --> 00:37:16.039
American Graffiti. And then he's on
the radio a lot. But and on

468
00:37:16.079 --> 00:37:19.599
the Midnight special. Do you ever
watch the Midnight Special? Yeah, back

469
00:37:19.599 --> 00:37:21.880
in the seventies. Yeah, you
know, what do you think about that?

470
00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:27.639
I thought, that's like he's that's
an an American icon, right,

471
00:37:27.960 --> 00:37:31.440
really, I like only in America. Yeah, like seriously, only in

472
00:37:31.480 --> 00:37:37.239
America, only in that era,
because he really was a radio legend,

473
00:37:37.440 --> 00:37:43.840
a TV legend, and at some
point he stopped being a legend. I

474
00:37:43.840 --> 00:37:45.519
don't know why. Why did why
did he fall off? Well? People,

475
00:37:45.599 --> 00:37:50.559
you know, times change, things
change, and you know dog like

476
00:37:50.559 --> 00:37:53.760
wolf Man Jack. Pretty soon you're
that was the worst Wolfman. But you

477
00:37:53.800 --> 00:37:55.599
know, pretty soon end up.
You end up. You know, you're

478
00:37:55.840 --> 00:38:00.760
doing the country fairs and the county
fairs, and and that's just you're lucky

479
00:38:00.800 --> 00:38:06.599
to do the county fairs. That's
what I say. I'm doing the county

480
00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:14.599
fairs. Okay, So I wanted
to talk a little bit about Brandon Russell

481
00:38:14.719 --> 00:38:19.840
Russell Brand, that's the guy's name, right He So he was married to

482
00:38:19.880 --> 00:38:24.840
Katy Perry and she's now coming out
like or people are saying that Katy Perry

483
00:38:25.119 --> 00:38:30.800
hinted at what kind of person he
was and maybe that was part of her

484
00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:37.239
divorce with him. But he was
thirty one. One of the main people

485
00:38:37.280 --> 00:38:40.559
who blew the whistle on him.
She was sixteen and he's thirty one.

486
00:38:40.679 --> 00:38:46.800
And he's pretty much been canceled and
he's been it with no trial. I'm

487
00:38:46.800 --> 00:38:50.599
not saying he's not guilty or anything. Everything looks pretty bad, but this

488
00:38:50.639 --> 00:38:53.480
is the way it is. He's
he's toast. Yeah, because this isn't

489
00:38:53.519 --> 00:38:58.519
just like, hey, I'm against
trans athletes or something like that. You

490
00:38:58.519 --> 00:39:01.440
can bounce back from that if if
if you get canceled over but but I

491
00:39:01.440 --> 00:39:07.880
mean, these are crimes against children. If if they're so serious that people

492
00:39:08.559 --> 00:39:12.159
don't want. I mean, you
know, it's be nice if if if

493
00:39:12.199 --> 00:39:16.119
everybody listened to him, and you
know what if it what then let me

494
00:39:16.119 --> 00:39:19.559
ask you this, what if she
was sixteen and it was a state where

495
00:39:19.599 --> 00:39:22.599
sixteen is the age of consent or
a country where sixteen is the age of

496
00:39:22.599 --> 00:39:29.599
consent, and maybe they didn't consummate
their relationship until she was eighteen. That

497
00:39:29.679 --> 00:39:36.519
happens sometimes. But he's not given. He's not being given, you know,

498
00:39:37.199 --> 00:39:42.360
any chance. They're piling on and
he's done, and everyone's separating themselves

499
00:39:42.360 --> 00:39:45.920
from him. You brought up something
during the break. As I said,

500
00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:49.400
he is a standard bearer for the
progressive movement. Most of his career,

501
00:39:50.239 --> 00:39:53.039
he was out there doing what progressives
want him to do. He was on

502
00:39:53.079 --> 00:39:59.239
the team. Then suddenly he seemed
to have a weird a little bit of

503
00:39:59.280 --> 00:40:06.280
reversal that any people had during the
COVID pandemic over the vaccines and and some

504
00:40:06.320 --> 00:40:09.159
people it was weird to see when
some people are like, align this progressive

505
00:40:09.599 --> 00:40:15.360
leftist, but I'm not putting that
vaccine in my body, and then they

506
00:40:15.400 --> 00:40:17.760
become an enemy of the progressives because
most of the progressives are like, put

507
00:40:17.800 --> 00:40:23.440
that vaccine in your body, you
know, because it's better for everybody.

508
00:40:23.440 --> 00:40:28.480
Whatever. So he said, I'm
not putting that thing, that experimental,

509
00:40:30.119 --> 00:40:32.679
weird drug in my body. I'm
not going to and people said you're bad,

510
00:40:34.280 --> 00:40:39.599
and then pretty then then then now
he's being canceled over these things that

511
00:40:39.639 --> 00:40:45.280
happened in twenty sixteen and two thous
between that and like twenty thirteen. Why

512
00:40:45.320 --> 00:40:50.400
didn't they It's one of those things
where they're saying it was an open secret

513
00:40:50.920 --> 00:40:53.800
that he was acted this way,
but no one did anything. And then

514
00:40:53.840 --> 00:40:58.400
now that he's like, you know, this is a conspiracy. You brought

515
00:40:58.400 --> 00:41:04.760
it up. It perhaps they were
sweeping it under the rug. But now

516
00:41:04.800 --> 00:41:09.800
that he's an enemy of the progressive
left because of his vaccine stance, that

517
00:41:09.920 --> 00:41:13.920
maybe now they're saying, all right, let's get rid of him. Game

518
00:41:13.960 --> 00:41:17.559
a chance. It sounds it sounds
possible. It sounds possible. However,

519
00:41:17.599 --> 00:41:22.079
the thing that's like the overriding factor
is is there evidence of him committing that

520
00:41:22.159 --> 00:41:25.880
crime? If there is, bury
him under the prison. Yeah, it

521
00:41:25.920 --> 00:41:30.840
doesn't matter what his stance on vaccines
are at all. Right, when you

522
00:41:30.880 --> 00:41:32.440
have if there's evidence of that kind
of a crime, right, But that

523
00:41:32.440 --> 00:41:37.119
there seems like there was evidence,
I mean then a better evidence exactly.

524
00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:40.599
There was probably better evidence back then, but also probably has more to do

525
00:41:42.039 --> 00:41:45.239
with the feeling of the people who
came out against him. They may have

526
00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:52.199
felt more emboldened by the meto movement, whereas that that happened before, and

527
00:41:52.199 --> 00:41:55.719
they were more likely to stay quiet
because they said they were The one girl

528
00:41:55.760 --> 00:42:00.719
said, I didn't say anything,
but she went to a rape because she

529
00:42:00.760 --> 00:42:04.519
went to hospital and reported a rape
of some kind. But she didn't go

530
00:42:04.519 --> 00:42:07.400
to the police because she didn't,
you know, because of his stature and

531
00:42:07.440 --> 00:42:10.599
she thought she'd be ruined. So
anyway, it'll all come out. But

532
00:42:10.599 --> 00:42:15.559
he's toasting no matter what. And
another guy who's toasting no matter what is

533
00:42:15.599 --> 00:42:17.960
a Michigan State football coach, Mel
Tucker. Have you heard of this guy?

534
00:42:17.920 --> 00:42:24.400
Yeah, so that he brought in
a rape crisis counselor or a spokesperson,

535
00:42:24.480 --> 00:42:29.559
a woman who had survived a gang
rape sam not just any rape,

536
00:42:29.920 --> 00:42:32.800
a gang rape. She was Her
name was Brenda Tracy. She's a prominent

537
00:42:34.119 --> 00:42:38.440
activist. Mel Tucker brings her on
to talk to his students, ostensibly because

538
00:42:38.440 --> 00:42:42.199
he wants his students to grow up
to be ups astanding men and not to

539
00:42:42.320 --> 00:42:45.039
fall in this trap to home.
Any of these people with power from celebrity

540
00:42:45.440 --> 00:42:51.519
seemed to be falling into and taking
advantage of women. And the way I

541
00:42:51.559 --> 00:42:57.480
read this story is she he was
so excited by her, and he wanted

542
00:42:57.519 --> 00:42:59.840
to make her a conquest, and
he just started perving out on her,

543
00:43:00.280 --> 00:43:04.199
and he was fiddling with himself on
the phone with her, and she finally

544
00:43:04.239 --> 00:43:09.480
turned him in and said, this
guy is a purv and I'm a survivor

545
00:43:09.519 --> 00:43:14.239
and he's putting me through you know, you can imagine what that did to

546
00:43:14.280 --> 00:43:16.239
her. Oh, that's re traumatizing, rema, that's what that's what it's

547
00:43:16.239 --> 00:43:21.239
called. Retraumatizing. Yeah, Sam, you've seen this, Oh I have

548
00:43:21.360 --> 00:43:25.280
in your in your clinical clinical Uh
yeah, in my other job, in

549
00:43:25.360 --> 00:43:29.880
my other reliance, Yeah for sure. Now I work a lot with that

550
00:43:30.199 --> 00:43:35.480
exact population. And when you hear
stuff like that, it's you can see

551
00:43:35.519 --> 00:43:39.679
where people who spent a long time
trying to work past that kind of pain.

552
00:43:40.199 --> 00:43:45.559
When other people do stuff like that, it's just ripping an old scab

553
00:43:45.679 --> 00:43:52.119
right off and causing that retraumatization completely. Now you might know, say,

554
00:43:52.159 --> 00:43:55.519
well, who is uh Mel Tucker, who cares. Who is this guy?

555
00:43:55.599 --> 00:43:59.920
Is he anybody? Well, he's
only like like the fourth highest paige

556
00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:06.039
college football coach in America and he
had a ninety five million dollar contract.

557
00:44:06.480 --> 00:44:09.159
Good lord, they've already been paid
fifteen million on that, the other eighty

558
00:44:09.199 --> 00:44:16.119
million gone and he's toast. Yeah, he's not gonna He'll be lucky if

559
00:44:16.119 --> 00:44:21.440
he gets a job in a high
school after that. Yeah, he is

560
00:44:22.039 --> 00:44:27.199
gone, and he's just stupid.
Yeah, ninety five million dollars. That's

561
00:44:27.239 --> 00:44:30.159
demonic to me. That's one of
those things where you have a demonic oppression,

562
00:44:30.440 --> 00:44:36.039
a demonic u possession if if if
if you go that off the deep

563
00:44:36.119 --> 00:44:39.320
end when life has been has blessed
you so and uh, and you take

564
00:44:39.360 --> 00:44:43.760
other people down with you and you
don't care what you're traumatizing her? How

565
00:44:43.840 --> 00:44:49.079
dare you mail? Tucker? Okay, but that's Michigan State where also where

566
00:44:49.079 --> 00:44:53.480
they had that gymnastics coach Larry Nassar, who was fiddling with the girls on

567
00:44:53.519 --> 00:45:01.599
the gymnastics team, and like I
had one other at that school. So

568
00:45:01.639 --> 00:45:06.960
that school's got some problems. They
need to tighten it up over there.

569
00:45:07.239 --> 00:45:10.320
Yeah, no argument from me.
All Right'm gonna tighten up this segment and

570
00:45:10.400 --> 00:45:16.000
go check out the traffic in Los
Angeles. Joe's Galante Live from Hollywood back

do you solemnly swear to put this
podcast up tonight? I do solemnly swear

576
00:45:37.360 --> 00:45:44.920
to put this podcast up tonight.
Okay, thank you, And we're gonna

577
00:45:44.920 --> 00:45:46.760
have some strike news coming up pretty
soon. We don't do a lot of

578
00:45:46.760 --> 00:45:52.760
strike news here because it's so boring, but we're gonna do some. And

579
00:45:52.400 --> 00:45:57.320
but right now we'll talk about it. Just a good old fashioned legal case

580
00:45:58.360 --> 00:46:04.960
where there's a guy from a website
called Gizmoto. You're familiar with this website,

581
00:46:05.039 --> 00:46:07.519
I'm aware of it. Yes,
Okay, Well, this is a

582
00:46:07.559 --> 00:46:22.000
guy he wrote a book or something
about Tetris and the Tetris. Now there's

583
00:46:22.000 --> 00:46:27.239
a movie about Tetris. So what
do you think happen? Some kind of

584
00:46:27.320 --> 00:46:35.440
lawsuit right with was it the people
in Russia with Tetris, No, because

585
00:46:35.480 --> 00:46:37.320
I'm sure that was part of the
story the book in the movie was like

586
00:46:37.360 --> 00:46:40.280
all the legal issues that they had
to do in bringing that game over to

587
00:46:40.280 --> 00:46:44.519
the United States with the game Boy
back in the day. Now this one

588
00:46:44.599 --> 00:46:50.119
is Gizmoto editor in chief Daniel Ackerman
sued Apple and other parties over the twenty

589
00:46:50.119 --> 00:46:54.280
twenty three Apple TV Plus film Tetris, alleging it rips off his twenty sixteen

590
00:46:54.320 --> 00:47:04.440
book The Tetris Effect and the rights
holder. I guess he's also suing the

591
00:47:04.440 --> 00:47:07.320
people who own Tetris and Tetris Is
film producers, so they're all in and

592
00:47:07.320 --> 00:47:14.719
on it together, and that they
have taken the exact same feel, tone,

593
00:47:14.760 --> 00:47:20.800
approach and scenes from his book The
Tetris Effect, particularly it's framing of

594
00:47:20.880 --> 00:47:29.960
the game's release as a Cold War
spy thriller. So this is a problem

595
00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:35.800
because anyone can make a movie about
Tetris if they're if they're just talking about

596
00:47:37.320 --> 00:47:43.159
things that are in the public domain
and stuff you get from newspaper articles.

597
00:47:43.199 --> 00:47:45.360
Chany I gonna make a movie about
all the stuff that happened in the public

598
00:47:45.679 --> 00:47:47.119
you can do that. You can
even use the Tetris word. You can

599
00:47:47.159 --> 00:47:52.480
say tetris if it's if it's something
of public significance, you can you can

600
00:47:52.519 --> 00:47:57.039
go ahead and do that. But
and then these guys already you know,

601
00:47:57.079 --> 00:48:01.079
they bought thee the rights to from
the Tetris company, the Apple people,

602
00:48:01.400 --> 00:48:05.280
And so this guy's got an uphill
battle because he's suing people that have the

603
00:48:05.400 --> 00:48:07.159
rights to do this. But he's
saying, yeah, but you didn't have

604
00:48:07.199 --> 00:48:13.679
the right to take all that stuff
from my book. But you know your

605
00:48:13.719 --> 00:48:16.639
book is about stuff that's in the
public domain. This is this is one

606
00:48:16.679 --> 00:48:20.960
thing just as a lawyer, I'm
just listening to this and wait, if

607
00:48:21.039 --> 00:48:25.800
you were able to make a book
about something you don't own, you had

608
00:48:25.840 --> 00:48:30.840
to use stuff that was readily available
in the public domain. So how are

609
00:48:30.880 --> 00:48:36.000
you suing them for stuff that was
readily available in the public domain and they

610
00:48:36.039 --> 00:48:38.239
even own the intellectual property. Anyway, you got an uphill battle. He

611
00:48:38.280 --> 00:48:40.960
can say, well, it's the
way they arranged it, and I did

612
00:48:42.000 --> 00:48:45.960
add some original elements into my story
and they stole those. Going to be

613
00:48:45.079 --> 00:48:47.960
very hard. So it's like saying
the feel So you got to go in

614
00:48:47.960 --> 00:48:52.679
front of a jury and say these
people stole the feel. Now, in

615
00:48:52.719 --> 00:48:57.559
this guy's defense, what he has
going for him has how stupid jurors are,

616
00:48:58.159 --> 00:49:02.519
because if you remember the Marvin suit
against Farrell, yeah, and Robin

617
00:49:02.599 --> 00:49:08.360
Thick, where the jury and due
to bad jury instructions too, the jury

618
00:49:08.400 --> 00:49:13.679
was able to come to the conclusion
that they stole the feel of the song,

619
00:49:14.159 --> 00:49:17.840
which is not what you're what you
copyright. You copyright the sheet music

620
00:49:17.840 --> 00:49:21.599
and that's it was actually filed in
the copyright office, the sheet music.

621
00:49:22.159 --> 00:49:24.239
So the judge in that case should
have done is how to quartet come in

622
00:49:24.280 --> 00:49:30.440
and play the sheet music then compare
that and that only to the Robin Thick

623
00:49:31.199 --> 00:49:37.519
Farrell Williams song. But the judge
was stupid and the jury was stupid.

624
00:49:37.920 --> 00:49:44.199
And this is kind of the same
thing. You you are going to try

625
00:49:44.239 --> 00:49:46.760
to prove that he took the feel
and maybe if you lined it up and

626
00:49:46.800 --> 00:49:50.519
so, yeah, I think they
did take the feel and the scenes and

627
00:49:50.840 --> 00:49:53.280
a bunch of stuff from your from
your story. And then if you get

628
00:49:53.320 --> 00:50:00.320
some bad jury instructions and a good
slick city lawyer, yeah he could win.

629
00:50:00.679 --> 00:50:07.559
But what if the that like cold
War spy mystery thing is actually part

630
00:50:07.639 --> 00:50:13.960
of the actual story of the you
know, bringing Tetris over because at that

631
00:50:14.000 --> 00:50:17.840
time there was a lot of like
they had to do stuff in a way

632
00:50:17.920 --> 00:50:22.480
that was kind of you know,
clandestine, a little bit and a little

633
00:50:22.480 --> 00:50:25.519
bit under the radar because a lot
of the deals had to be done back

634
00:50:25.519 --> 00:50:31.920
in Soviet Russia. That's something called
scenes of fair a copyright doctrine where if

635
00:50:31.960 --> 00:50:37.760
you are going to, uh,
there's only so many ways to tell a

636
00:50:37.800 --> 00:50:40.480
story because you because there was a
cold war spy thing going on, and

637
00:50:40.519 --> 00:50:45.000
if you tell a story about Tetris, you would argue that you can't really

638
00:50:45.039 --> 00:50:47.679
do it without kind of coming up
with some kind of Cold war spy thing.

639
00:50:47.719 --> 00:50:52.280
That's probably that's It's the same way
you can't sue someone if you sue

640
00:50:52.320 --> 00:50:54.719
someone for making a doctor show because
you made a doctor show and then you

641
00:50:54.800 --> 00:51:00.920
say, well, my doctor show
also had a one a surgeon that didn't

642
00:51:00.960 --> 00:51:04.639
play by the rules and he was
having and this doctor was having an affair.

643
00:51:04.800 --> 00:51:07.559
Hey look at this right here,
this doctor's having an affair with this

644
00:51:07.639 --> 00:51:12.519
receptionist or this nurse. My story
had had a doctor having an affair with

645
00:51:12.519 --> 00:51:15.239
a nurse, so obviously you you
stole my story. No, those are

646
00:51:15.280 --> 00:51:20.000
called scenes affair, things that would
always be in any story about a given

647
00:51:20.000 --> 00:51:23.599
thing. So uphill battle, but
we'll we'll. It's a good old fashioned

648
00:51:23.599 --> 00:51:32.400
IP an infringement lawsuit that will keep
tabs on. Here's another quick story singing

649
00:51:32.480 --> 00:51:37.079
before we take a break. Singer
Marion Morris says she's leaving country music because

650
00:51:37.079 --> 00:51:43.840
she's blaming the Trump years. So
she says, I think what she is

651
00:51:43.840 --> 00:51:47.639
is a a she's kind of you
know, country music is a little bit

652
00:51:47.679 --> 00:51:52.039
right wingy, and I think she's
a little left wingy, and she's she's

653
00:51:52.079 --> 00:51:57.400
exhausted by it. And then when
she sees like these country songs that are

654
00:51:57.519 --> 00:52:01.800
used by for political movements, like
the Jason Aldean song that came out a

655
00:52:01.840 --> 00:52:07.559
little while ago, and there was
one recently, this guy Richmond north of

656
00:52:07.679 --> 00:52:10.039
Richmond, and that guy, I
don't know if you saw the interview with

657
00:52:10.119 --> 00:52:14.800
him, he was not pleased because
that song was aimed against a lot of

658
00:52:14.800 --> 00:52:19.840
the conservatives that were that were trying
to jump on his pap. I mean

659
00:52:19.840 --> 00:52:23.480
he they some conservatives used it instead. See he was really said about it.

660
00:52:23.559 --> 00:52:27.599
And then then then the lefties came
along and said, you know,

661
00:52:27.800 --> 00:52:31.719
actually this guy didn't like that stuff, and so you're using him for your

662
00:52:32.159 --> 00:52:39.599
political uh goals. And then they
were doing the same thing both sides.

663
00:52:39.719 --> 00:52:43.840
Both sides took that guy and ripped
them apart. So anyway, she Marion

664
00:52:43.920 --> 00:52:45.519
Morris is sick of it, so
she says she's leaving country music altogether.

665
00:52:46.480 --> 00:52:52.679
I look forward to listening to her
black metal album. That sounds hot when

666
00:52:52.719 --> 00:52:55.760
it comes out. All right,
Joe Scalante Live from Hollywood, A little

667
00:52:55.800 --> 00:53:02.360
more to go on this Sunday,
September seventeen. We're gonna be back,

668
00:53:02.679 --> 00:53:08.400
you know, Joe's Golante Live from
Hollywood. Why Hollywood to meet Burbank.

669
00:53:09.360 --> 00:53:13.480
Okay, let's get back to these
stories. I remember we were talking about

670
00:53:13.599 --> 00:53:17.559
the stan Lee estate had this like
elder abuse lawsuit. Remember that was like

671
00:53:17.639 --> 00:53:25.679
after he after he died. They
were saying that is that a people that

672
00:53:25.760 --> 00:53:30.800
were introduced into his life by his
daughter stole millions of dollars from him.

673
00:53:31.440 --> 00:53:36.079
That's been thrown out. So it's
finally done. There's no elder abuse,

674
00:53:36.480 --> 00:53:42.119
there's no anything. And we are
now putting the putting all that to rest

675
00:53:43.000 --> 00:53:51.800
and there's no more and just now
his estate just divide it up and there's

676
00:53:51.880 --> 00:53:54.519
no one to sue, and there's
no one to be suit and now his

677
00:53:54.639 --> 00:54:01.000
spirit can finally rest right, they
can finally be a piece. How about

678
00:54:01.079 --> 00:54:07.159
some strike talk. The strike,
as you know, is a scorage on

679
00:54:07.280 --> 00:54:15.519
the Hollywood industry as the two parties
cannot seem to come together, the w

680
00:54:15.760 --> 00:54:22.400
g A and the Screen Actors Guild
and the Motion Picture Television Organization, the

681
00:54:22.480 --> 00:54:34.639
Alliance of a Motion Picture and Television
Producers. So there's really there's every And

682
00:54:34.920 --> 00:54:37.840
there was a guy on the radio
the other day singh two to four weeks,

683
00:54:37.880 --> 00:54:40.320
it'll be done. Two for I
have inside information, two to four

684
00:54:40.360 --> 00:54:44.079
weeks it'll be done. And I
was listening to that, going, nobody

685
00:54:44.119 --> 00:54:49.079
knows that. This guy singing knows
that. Nobody knows that. But here's

686
00:54:49.119 --> 00:54:52.960
what's going on. There's a couple
of side shows on this thing as well.

687
00:54:54.360 --> 00:54:59.079
Here's another here's a strike case that
came down to before we get right

688
00:54:59.159 --> 00:55:01.440
into this one. This is an
interesting case. It's like a free speech

689
00:55:01.599 --> 00:55:07.880
union labor case. Medieval times where
you've been known to have a dinner and

690
00:55:08.480 --> 00:55:15.760
and maybe even worked as a night
joust. Okay, so you're a jouster.

691
00:55:15.679 --> 00:55:22.000
The vault. Okay, so Medieval
Times they had a strike. They're

692
00:55:22.039 --> 00:55:30.920
in show business, and they got
busted for forcing the TikTok to be banned,

693
00:55:30.719 --> 00:55:37.079
because the TikTok accounts to be banned
because the Medieval Times union was using

694
00:55:37.119 --> 00:55:40.760
TikTok to get their message out,
and Medieval Times was going to TikTok and

695
00:55:40.800 --> 00:55:45.360
saying, hey, we own the
name TikTok and we own the intellectual property.

696
00:55:45.519 --> 00:55:50.880
So banned their accounts and that is
not kosher. That's they have a

697
00:55:51.000 --> 00:55:55.599
right to to. I mean,
you know when you're talking about expressing your

698
00:55:55.760 --> 00:56:00.159
your free speech, that's like political
spee, some of the most protected speech

699
00:56:00.159 --> 00:56:06.440
there is. So are they getting
them to go trying as Medieval Times trying

700
00:56:06.440 --> 00:56:12.800
to get the employees to close out
their individual tiktoks and approaching TikTok to get

701
00:56:12.880 --> 00:56:16.400
them to close those accounts, ban
those accounts. Are they using Medieval Times

702
00:56:16.599 --> 00:56:22.840
name within their within their name with
I'm not in there and their identity.

703
00:56:23.000 --> 00:56:25.840
No, just they're just talking about
Medieval Times, then they should have no

704
00:56:25.960 --> 00:56:30.440
problem within this freedom of speech.
Yes, yes, yes I can talk

705
00:56:30.480 --> 00:56:32.800
about Medieval Times. Should my account
be banned? Right? Exactly? So

706
00:56:32.880 --> 00:56:37.960
they lost they the court said they
broke the law. So you gotta be

707
00:56:37.039 --> 00:56:42.639
careful what you do when people are
protesting you in labor dispeech. You can't

708
00:56:43.159 --> 00:56:49.800
you can't do stuff like that.
You also can't knife the tires of the

709
00:56:50.199 --> 00:56:52.920
of the executives if you're a protester
too. That just sounds like I'm not

710
00:56:53.039 --> 00:56:57.360
a lawyer. That sounds like basic
logic. Yeah, yeah, you know

711
00:56:57.440 --> 00:56:59.400
what it was. It was just
like, hey, this, uh,

712
00:56:59.719 --> 00:57:07.480
we're medieval Times just by our sheer
meaning of our name is is we don't

713
00:57:07.519 --> 00:57:10.880
know anything about modern technology. And
we see these TikTok's coming at us and

714
00:57:10.960 --> 00:57:17.159
they're hurting our negotiations, and so
maybe we could get them banned. See

715
00:57:17.199 --> 00:57:21.440
if you can do that. There's
no one in the Medieval Times room that

716
00:57:21.639 --> 00:57:25.599
that's got enough awareness to go,
well, wouldn't that be a little too

717
00:57:25.719 --> 00:57:29.840
far in the terms of free speech? Now? Can they put it in

718
00:57:29.920 --> 00:57:32.199
the terms of like a contract for
employees? Though never they're trying to,

719
00:57:32.440 --> 00:57:37.239
you know, sign people to work
for them. Part of the terms you

720
00:57:37.400 --> 00:57:39.599
cannot have a TikTok account? Is
that? Can that be one of the

721
00:57:39.760 --> 00:57:45.559
terms in that contract? You could? Yeah, but you could wouldn't do

722
00:57:45.599 --> 00:57:47.639
them any good because someone else.
You just tell someone else to make a

723
00:57:47.679 --> 00:57:52.360
TikTok account and express my views in
the labor movement, and they would shut

724
00:57:52.440 --> 00:57:57.360
down that one just the same way
they'd shut down an employee. It doesn't

725
00:57:57.360 --> 00:58:00.320
matter who owns it. But then
you know, they could try that too,

726
00:58:00.360 --> 00:58:06.239
and that might be Uh, you
can't have contracts that violate, you

727
00:58:06.320 --> 00:58:10.119
know, principles of you can't contract
your way around the Constitution basically, and

728
00:58:10.159 --> 00:58:14.519
stuff like that, and and people's
you know, God given rights. You

729
00:58:14.599 --> 00:58:17.519
can't say I have a contract with
you to work for free. Well,

730
00:58:17.559 --> 00:58:22.400
that would be against the fourteenth Amendment
or the thirteenth Amendment against slavery. So

731
00:58:22.519 --> 00:58:28.159
you you you you just can't contract
for things that are are already illegal.

732
00:58:28.559 --> 00:58:31.599
Yeah, right, you can't contract
around the law or the constitution. Okay.

733
00:58:31.960 --> 00:58:36.800
So the Writer's Guild is supposed to
meet with they have these show runners.

734
00:58:37.480 --> 00:58:45.320
The showrunners are meeting and they are
kind of fed up because the showrunner

735
00:58:45.519 --> 00:58:49.119
is in charge of the writer's part
writer, but they're part producer. They're

736
00:58:49.199 --> 00:58:55.079
kind of part of the management and
part of the the The writing staff sounds

737
00:58:55.119 --> 00:59:00.280
like they're everything. Yeah, I
mean and TV is interesting because as the

738
00:59:00.440 --> 00:59:04.559
TV the writer is the king.
In movies, the writer is not allowed

739
00:59:04.599 --> 00:59:07.519
on the set most of the time. But in TV, you wrote the

740
00:59:07.599 --> 00:59:09.599
movie, Oh, you wrote the
TV series, you wrote the pilot.

741
00:59:09.960 --> 00:59:15.800
Then they just put like a multimillion
dollar operation in your hands and say,

742
00:59:15.920 --> 00:59:20.960
run it. Hire the painters,
hire, the trucks hire everything. You

743
00:59:21.119 --> 00:59:24.679
wrote this story. Of course you
can do it. It's very strange,

744
00:59:25.239 --> 00:59:28.840
but it's you know, it's the
way the system is evolved in It happened

745
00:59:28.840 --> 00:59:32.119
to me. I'm a showrunner on
several shows, and you know, I

746
00:59:32.239 --> 00:59:35.039
had to do I was in charge
of a lot of weird things. Here

747
00:59:35.119 --> 00:59:39.679
you're in charge of the insurance and
you're in charge of kids, having teachers

748
00:59:39.719 --> 00:59:43.159
on the set, you know,
this kind of stuff. And I go,

749
00:59:43.360 --> 00:59:45.519
I just, you know, created
the show. Why would someone put

750
00:59:45.519 --> 00:59:46.079
me in charge of that? But
they do. And I already knew it,

751
00:59:46.239 --> 00:59:52.360
already already knew what I was getting
into. But that's one of the

752
00:59:52.400 --> 00:59:55.320
new developments is like they're having these
show runner meetings and they're supposed to meet

753
00:59:55.480 --> 01:00:00.000
with the both sides. You're supposed
to meet this week. But then also

754
01:00:00.079 --> 01:00:02.400
they're saying, well, maybe we'll
give up on the writers and we'll start

755
01:00:02.440 --> 01:00:07.559
meeting with the actors because the writers
we're getting nowhere, and maybe the actors

756
01:00:07.639 --> 01:00:08.559
we can get somewhere, and if
we can make a deal with them,

757
01:00:08.960 --> 01:00:12.639
they'll have to fall in line because
the director's already felon in the line.

758
01:00:13.840 --> 01:00:16.719
And my personal opinion at this point
is the directors have made a deal,

759
01:00:17.559 --> 01:00:23.280
take their deal and get back to
work. And I've seen the offer that

760
01:00:23.400 --> 01:00:28.280
the that the producers have given,
and I think that I think you have

761
01:00:28.400 --> 01:00:30.760
to live with that and put a
pin in certain things for three years.

762
01:00:30.880 --> 01:00:35.880
This is only a three year deal. Why why why stay out of work

763
01:00:35.960 --> 01:00:39.320
for a year for something that there
would have been only two years left in

764
01:00:39.400 --> 01:00:44.159
it. And you're talking, do
you think if you think AI is going

765
01:00:44.199 --> 01:00:47.559
to ruin your job and take your
job in those next two years and then

766
01:00:47.559 --> 01:00:53.119
you don't know much about a and
if you think that the studios can't just

767
01:00:53.360 --> 01:00:58.119
if you say I need to have
ten writers in the writer's room and the

768
01:00:58.239 --> 01:01:01.599
studio wants you to have only two
or four, and you come up with

769
01:01:01.719 --> 01:01:07.320
some you know, compromise. Now, maybe that's a compromise when the studios

770
01:01:07.360 --> 01:01:09.199
only want one and now they're gonna
have two or they're gonna have three.

771
01:01:10.039 --> 01:01:14.480
If if you say no to that, then they say, okay, you

772
01:01:14.559 --> 01:01:17.440
can have ten and instead of six
hundred programs this year, we'll have three

773
01:01:17.559 --> 01:01:21.280
hundred. Uh you know, because
that's six hundreds of the number. They

774
01:01:21.280 --> 01:01:23.519
say, wow, there's six hundred
shows being made. Well, what if

775
01:01:23.559 --> 01:01:27.280
they cut that down to three hundred
to save money? I mean they can.

776
01:01:27.320 --> 01:01:29.639
There's a lot of things they can
do to save money. So to

777
01:01:29.719 --> 01:01:31.400
me, it's like it's gone on
long enough, put a pin in the

778
01:01:31.519 --> 01:01:37.039
things that you disagree with, and
come back in three years. But they

779
01:01:37.079 --> 01:01:42.119
don't call me. They don't listen
to me. Medieval times certainly didn't listen

780
01:01:42.119 --> 01:01:46.000
to me. But yeah, they're
supposed to have their Their talks will resume

781
01:01:46.400 --> 01:01:52.639
this week because it's been a long
time with with without even talking. One

782
01:01:52.800 --> 01:01:55.920
we get back from this break,
we'll talk about what is how the studios

783
01:01:55.960 --> 01:02:00.559
are fighting the writers and what they're
planning is to keep stuff on the air

784
01:02:01.800 --> 01:02:06.880
if the strike continues to go on, and it's going to be more than

785
01:02:06.920 --> 01:02:09.679
just take away their TikTok's tell you
that much. Joe's Galante Live from Hollywood,

786
01:02:10.159 --> 01:02:15.039
Joe'sclante live from Hollywood every Sunday.
We're here the business end of show

787
01:02:15.079 --> 01:02:21.199
Business. K eibleven fifty on your
AM dial as you're driving around Los Angeles,

788
01:02:21.679 --> 01:02:25.000
or if you're tinkering in your garage, or you can listen to it

789
01:02:25.039 --> 01:02:30.519
all over the world on the iHeartRadio
app and later you will get an a

790
01:02:30.880 --> 01:02:35.840
podcast of this show. Okay,
So the last thing I'm going to say

791
01:02:35.840 --> 01:02:39.800
about the strikes is to one of
the things the studios also can do is

792
01:02:40.400 --> 01:02:45.079
to to just drive it to these
union people. I'm one of the union

793
01:02:45.119 --> 01:02:49.599
people. I'm in the Screen Actors
school. You might see me on the

794
01:02:49.599 --> 01:02:52.679
picket line this week, Sam,
really you might. If that's the case,

795
01:02:52.800 --> 01:02:55.039
let me know. I will be
happy to come by and bring you

796
01:02:55.159 --> 01:03:00.519
a bottle of water. Thank you. I to appreciate it. So,

797
01:03:00.960 --> 01:03:05.800
but I think it should end.
Here's another thing that the studios can do.

798
01:03:07.280 --> 01:03:10.639
They're and they're infiltrating. You're in
Netflix feed if you might have noticed,

799
01:03:10.679 --> 01:03:15.239
with like foreign programming, so they
can create things in South Africa,

800
01:03:15.320 --> 01:03:17.639
they can create things in India,
like we said, very high production values

801
01:03:17.679 --> 01:03:22.840
and some good programming there can create
stuff in South Korea. Have you ever

802
01:03:22.920 --> 01:03:27.199
heard of squid games? So they
you know, there's ways, so there's

803
01:03:27.280 --> 01:03:30.760
like a lifeline to them. Is
this foreign programming. But it is a

804
01:03:30.800 --> 01:03:32.920
gamble too because people might say,
I don't like it, let's stop watching

805
01:03:32.960 --> 01:03:37.400
it. Another thing they're doing is
they're canceling people's overall deals. And overall

806
01:03:37.440 --> 01:03:39.679
deal is when a studio gives you
a bunch of money and then you set

807
01:03:39.760 --> 01:03:44.440
you up a shop and a studio
and gives you pays your overhead, your

808
01:03:44.440 --> 01:03:46.840
assistant and all that kind of stuff, and then you promised only to make

809
01:03:47.159 --> 01:03:51.400
programming for them. They are now
since this is kind of like a forced

810
01:03:51.519 --> 01:03:58.320
massure type situation, they are suspending
the overall deals for Lauren Michaels very you

811
01:03:58.400 --> 01:04:02.639
know that's a list, Doctor Phil
b list. He's got some good he

812
01:04:02.679 --> 01:04:05.800
has really good shows he developing that
aren't the you know, Doctor Phil show,

813
01:04:06.400 --> 01:04:13.320
and some other ones. And then
so that means they're not getting their

814
01:04:13.320 --> 01:04:17.800
money, so they don't want to
strike to continue. Drew Barrymore said she's

815
01:04:17.840 --> 01:04:21.920
bringing back her daytime show without writers, and then she's going to interview people

816
01:04:23.039 --> 01:04:26.880
and she's just got to get the
below the line staff to work. She

817
01:04:27.039 --> 01:04:30.159
wants to. She thinks they should
just be making money. They're getting hurt

818
01:04:30.280 --> 01:04:34.320
the most. And then the she
got ruined for that. Everyone said,

819
01:04:34.360 --> 01:04:39.639
oh, how dare you stand with
us? Don't do that, and she

820
01:04:40.199 --> 01:04:45.000
backed off. So, you know, it's it's hard to know what to

821
01:04:45.039 --> 01:04:46.480
do or to criticize anybody for any
of this stuff, because it's very,

822
01:04:47.000 --> 01:04:51.360
very hard. But Bill Maher,
who doesn't give a crap, is coming

823
01:04:51.440 --> 01:04:56.559
back because he's one of the few
people that are is you know, can

824
01:04:56.719 --> 01:04:59.360
be his own person, and we
that's why we all love him. I

825
01:04:59.400 --> 01:05:02.920
think the left and the right now
love him, maybe the right. The

826
01:05:03.039 --> 01:05:05.960
left used to love him more,
the right used to hate him more.

827
01:05:06.280 --> 01:05:10.679
But yeah, it's shifting a little. He's but he's always tried to play

828
01:05:10.760 --> 01:05:13.760
more of the middle of the ground, and yeah, right now it's you

829
01:05:13.840 --> 01:05:17.119
know, obvious that things are getting
pretty polarized out there and somebody needs to

830
01:05:17.440 --> 01:05:21.119
kind of carry the torch for the
middle, and I think that's what he's

831
01:05:21.159 --> 01:05:26.639
trying to do. Yes, And
yeah, a lot of people are making

832
01:05:26.679 --> 01:05:30.559
the argument that he wasn't funny without
his writers anyways. So now he's just

833
01:05:30.639 --> 01:05:34.119
gonna rely on the political guests and
just go off the cuff. He doesn't

834
01:05:34.159 --> 01:05:36.159
really need to be funny. I
mean, he's a he's a comedian,

835
01:05:36.199 --> 01:05:39.559
he was always a comedian. He
doesn't mean to be that funny. He

836
01:05:39.639 --> 01:05:41.920
can just kind of rants like an
old man, and that's why you watch

837
01:05:42.000 --> 01:05:45.360
him. Yeah, I'll just give
you there's a before we go kind of

838
01:05:46.199 --> 01:05:51.400
This one's kind of satisfying. The
SEC has filed charges against the NFT project

839
01:05:51.519 --> 01:05:59.199
Stoner Cats, starring Ashton Kutcher and
Mila Kunis Membermila and Ashton were in trouble

840
01:05:59.280 --> 01:06:09.239
for defending Danny Masterson and then and
then apologizing for defending Danny Masterson, and

841
01:06:09.559 --> 01:06:14.000
now this week they this is a
cartoon made out of NFTs. Now NFTs.

842
01:06:14.199 --> 01:06:15.519
I'm not gonna sit here and explain
it because it's so lame. But

843
01:06:15.559 --> 01:06:19.880
it's just a bunch of digital crap. It's really agreed to play to me,

844
01:06:20.239 --> 01:06:24.920
it's it's agreed play. Hey,
if you buy this thing that is

845
01:06:25.039 --> 01:06:29.519
nothing, it will be worth even
more is nothing, And I'm going to

846
01:06:29.599 --> 01:06:31.719
con you into buying it's a digital
image. And then later there's going to

847
01:06:31.760 --> 01:06:34.440
be a market for this nothing because
people are weird and they think they're going

848
01:06:34.480 --> 01:06:36.840
to get rich and then you're gonna
sell it. So they did that with

849
01:06:38.000 --> 01:06:41.280
cartoons. So they made a cartoon
that they say is an NFT. I

850
01:06:41.360 --> 01:06:43.519
mean, what is it. It's
just like a moving picture. It's a

851
01:06:44.280 --> 01:06:45.639
MP four or whatever. I don't
know what it is. But if you

852
01:06:45.760 --> 01:06:49.840
gave them money, they told you
you would get access to this cartoon,

853
01:06:49.880 --> 01:06:55.440
and you would get access to the
behind the scenes and and and top Hollywood

854
01:06:55.480 --> 01:07:00.559
talent. He would be able to
witness how they make our tunes and animation.

855
01:07:00.679 --> 01:07:03.960
And you're gonna be cool now,
and then you're gonna get rich and

856
01:07:04.039 --> 01:07:08.840
we're all gonna get rich. It
was a rift. It was such a

857
01:07:08.960 --> 01:07:14.360
grift. It grift right, and
this is Ashton Kusher. I mean,

858
01:07:14.840 --> 01:07:18.679
it's it's a greed play. So
the SEC came in and said, you

859
01:07:18.800 --> 01:07:28.280
can't offer this speculative financial instrument without
running it through the Security and Exchange Commission.

860
01:07:28.920 --> 01:07:33.840
So you're busted. And they had
a one million dollar civil penalty and

861
01:07:33.880 --> 01:07:39.400
they're gonna have to clawback money that
they gave to whoever they gave to,

862
01:07:39.679 --> 01:07:43.920
and they're gonna have to they're gonna
refund money people who invested in it.

863
01:07:44.119 --> 01:07:46.960
What a mess, A lot of
celebrities are getting hit and some of these

864
01:07:47.239 --> 01:07:53.599
NFT scams where they went and advertised
for them and pitched them and Brady yeah,

865
01:07:53.679 --> 01:07:56.760
and a lot of people are ended
up getting sued because they took part

866
01:07:56.880 --> 01:07:59.199
in a scam. You know what
it is, I'll tell you what it

867
01:07:59.280 --> 01:08:04.800
is. It is the private jet. Because a celebrity can never be too

868
01:08:04.960 --> 01:08:08.519
rich because you think, why would
that guy lower himself. Why does Tom

869
01:08:08.599 --> 01:08:15.519
Brady need to lower himself to to
to to pitch some stupid crypto scam.

870
01:08:15.319 --> 01:08:21.199
Because the private jet that he has, someone else has a better one.

871
01:08:23.159 --> 01:08:27.119
And when his wife when he lands, yeah, when he lands his private

872
01:08:27.239 --> 01:08:30.560
jet, someone else has got a
better private jet, goes faster, holds

873
01:08:30.600 --> 01:08:36.560
more people or yeah, it goes
farther, and so he wants that private

874
01:08:36.640 --> 01:08:41.079
jet. So there's never enough money
for these people because they need the next

875
01:08:41.119 --> 01:08:44.239
biggest private jet. There, I
said it. I just solved the mystery

876
01:08:44.359 --> 01:08:48.239
of all this stuff. It's a
private jet and make sense. And and

877
01:08:49.439 --> 01:08:55.800
a little character named Satan. So
uh, let's be a little less greedy

878
01:08:55.880 --> 01:09:00.680
this week. Someone comes up to
you with the crypto cyber scam get rich

879
01:09:00.840 --> 01:09:08.439
quick thing, turn it down,
just just walk Away, walk Away.

880
01:09:10.399 --> 01:09:16.039
Now, Sam, we've come to
the point where I will I'm gonna leave

881
01:09:16.079 --> 01:09:18.880
you with just a taste of the
greatest song I've ever written. I've got

882
01:09:18.880 --> 01:09:24.600
a couple announcements. There's a Vandal's
Beer launch party in Long Beach on Thursday.

883
01:09:24.680 --> 01:09:29.079
Everybody can come. We're launching a
new beer. And so that's in

884
01:09:29.119 --> 01:09:32.079
Long Beach at a place called the
