WEBVTT 1 00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:16.239 Joe Escalante live from Hollywood. By Hollywood, you mean Burbank, across the 2 00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:20.719 street from a Wienerschnut that serves beer.

It gets uploaded 5 00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:34.840 later on in the evening and or maybe even the next day. I don't 6 00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:38.439 know how this works, but you'll get it. If you subscribe, you'll 7 00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:46.240 get it automatically. Now, Sam, have you seen any movies this week? 8 00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:50.520 We're going to the movies. No, but I have been meaning to 9 00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:55.119 go see the Ninja Turtles movie. I've heard amazing stuff about it. Well, 10 00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:59.119 fortunately the host of this program has not given up on the movie theaters. 11 00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:03.240 And I have seen the Mutant Ninja Turtle Mutant Mayhem movie, and we'll 12 00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:11.000 talk about that in just a bit. We have a box office. It's 13 00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:15.920 just like it's just so much like a year ago. I forgot that. 14 00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:19.519 I don't know there was a year ago. There was a movie I just 15 00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:23.000 read. It was like this is what was the big movie a year ago? 16 00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:25.799 And it was like a thirty million dollar movie. Now we have a 17 00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:33.359 billion dollar movie, Barbie, crossing a billion dollars worldwide this week. It 18 00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:37.200 dropped off only forty three percent. If a movie drops off less than fifty 19 00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:41.680 percent, it's doing really well. And this one's dropped off forty three percent. 20 00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:48.799 Some of the theaters reduced amount of theaters, like one hundred and fifty 21 00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:57.200 nine less than last week, doing another fifty three million this weekend four hundred 22 00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.760 and fifty nine million domestically, and then over a bill And as we said, 23 00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:05.719 it's and now have you seen this movie? No, no, I 24 00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:09.840 haven't, but my daughter and co parent have seen it together and they both 25 00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:15.000 raved about it. And I'm I'm definitely going to see it at some point, 26 00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:16.680 just because I want to see what all the hubbub is about. I 27 00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:21.960 saw, I saw Oppenheimer. I got to see the Barbin part of it. 28 00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:27.360 Yeah you do. Uh yeah, it's just the only people that don't 29 00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:34.199 like it are people that are over concerned about woke things. And I would 30 00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:36.759 have to say, I think I said this last week, you really have 31 00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:40.400 your mind in the wrong place if you're trying to pick woke things out of 32 00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:47.360 this movie, because Barbie is the you know it is, it is what 33 00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:53.199 all the woke people or the feminists what they thought Barbie was the biggest evil 34 00:02:54.000 --> 00:03:00.039 that was ever produced by American culture. And somehow they managed to thread a 35 00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:07.039 needle and make Barbie likable to not just those people. But um, you 36 00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:09.120 know, it's kind of a compromise. Hey, look, I'm Barbie. 37 00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:14.840 This is this is what I do. This is this is me being Barbie. 38 00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:19.360 And somehow they got a story out of it. It's and still I 39 00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:22.039 want to see it again because the story is pretty complicated, the plot, 40 00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:28.759 it's actually complicated. It's Um, I wouldn't be surprised if Christopher Nolan really 41 00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:32.680 made a Barbie movie too. I wouldn't be surprised if that is a conspiracy. 42 00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:36.560 I can float out there anyway. You gotta see Barbie. And if 43 00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:38.319 you're if you're saying, oh, I would never see a movie about a 44 00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:45.479 doll, you're an idiot. Okay. Number two we have Megaladon two the 45 00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:49.639 Trench. Um, you know what I don't. I don't see these movies 46 00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:55.319 usually saw Jos, loved it, moved on. But it is number two 47 00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:59.599 in the box office. Did thirty million? Beat up Oppenheimer? That was 48 00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:03.199 the big I don't Oppenheimer did twenty eight million, and um, you know 49 00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:09.159 that's um, it's got over two hundred and twenty eight gross and that's pretty 50 00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:14.599 good for a long, serious, R rated biopick. Um. I just 51 00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:19.279 can't see too many people wanting to watch that movie again. The Oppenheimer. 52 00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:23.839 Yeah, I mean there's things on, there's things I want to know. 53 00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:25.920 I want to you know, I do want to see it again. I 54 00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:28.040 just don't want to sit through it again. Yeah, no, I mean 55 00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:30.279 pay also, I'll watch it when it comes out, okay, yeah, 56 00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:32.399 like repeat and go to the theater. Yeah. But I know plenty of 57 00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:35.639 people who are like, I've seen Barbie three times, four times, and 58 00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:39.399 that's like, yeah, that's the thing they're all about. Top Gun. 59 00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:45.519 Yeah, exactly exactly. So you know it's like Top Gun for girls. 60 00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:47.439 But you know how many girls want to see Top Gun. They all went 61 00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:51.560 to see it. They want to see the relive the volleyball scene on the 62 00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:57.480 beach. I guess I don't know, but men should see Barbie and girls 63 00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:00.040 should see Oppenheimer. Maybe not girls don't come want to see Oppenhammers, some 64 00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:08.680 of them. But if you like Florence pew oo, Um, okay, 65 00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:12.639 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, number four, number five, Hunted Mansion, number 66 00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:17.720 six, Sound of Freedom, number seven, Mission Impossible, Number eight Talk 67 00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:21.680 to Me, which is a horror film about a hand. And then number 68 00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:26.879 nine Indiana Jones. Um, that's kind of a sad story there a little 69 00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:30.680 bit. But number ten elementals still haven't seen that. I don't know if 70 00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:32.160 I will. Um, okay, So let's go back up a little bit. 71 00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:36.800 How much time we got in this segment? About four minutes here. 72 00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:41.519 I should start timing these segments. That's what I should do, Okay. 73 00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:51.480 So um we got number four the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Now I heard 74 00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:58.800 this was good on a podcast called Puck puc K by Matt bellani Us, 75 00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:03.879 guy that he's been on this show before. He's a entertainment legal journalist really, 76 00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:11.160 and he said, give a good recommendation for it. So I was 77 00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:14.759 up in the mountains. It's the only movie playing at the theater that I 78 00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:17.279 hadn't seen up in the Big Bear Village theaters. And that's a problem when 79 00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:18.920 you're me. You go to a theater and you go, oh, I've 80 00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:23.079 seen all these, you know. So that was the only one we hadn't 81 00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:25.160 seen, so my wife and I said, we're gonna go. I mean, 82 00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:29.480 we went. It was fantastic, super funny, kind of like the 83 00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:34.120 Spider Man animation. Yeah, I've seen and heard as much that it has 84 00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:38.199 a very similar energy to the Spider Man movies. Yeah, a little different, 85 00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:41.160 like sometimes things like Okay, this person's hair is just a bunch of 86 00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:46.279 scribbles, you know, and yeah, real comic book feel. There's so 87 00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:48.920 many jokes in it that are just firing rapid fire at you. You can't 88 00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:51.800 get them all, you can't hear them all. Sometimes two jokes are being 89 00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:57.720 told at once, three jokes are being told at once because there's four turtles. 90 00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:02.480 Yeah, they it really really cool job. I mean, the plot's 91 00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:08.439 not, you know, amazing, but it's it's all good. And one 92 00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:11.519 of the main fears that these turtles have I don't I haven't seen any other 93 00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:15.959 turtle movies, but evidently they're they're in constant fear that that that humans are 94 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:20.160 gonna milk them and their their their rat father tells them don't go out there 95 00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:25.279 because the humans will get you and they'll milk you. Just like think someone's 96 00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:28.079 want to milk them all the time. Um, so I thought that was 97 00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:31.439 funny. Um, definitely would recommend that movie to anybody. And I saw 98 00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:33.319 that in there, you know, in a fater full of kids. The 99 00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:39.199 only problem was I kept getting blinded by this little girl's sneakers that you know, 100 00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:41.639 kept going on, you know, because she's so fidgetty, so or 101 00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:44.399 sneakers turn on and little light's gone sneakers. I don't know if you know 102 00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:46.879 about that. You know your kids, you buy them light up shoes. 103 00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:49.040 No, I avoided doing that one. Okay, well, I mean it's 104 00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:51.839 kind of funny. I didn't bother me that much. Yeah, kids don't. 105 00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:57.600 Kids don't bother me. Um Haunted Mansion number five. I saw that. 106 00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:00.920 I saw it on Monday night. Um, you know, it was 107 00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:03.560 funny enough. I mean there's a lot of jokes. It's funny, very 108 00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:07.360 true to the ride. I mean, you're in the ride, you know 109 00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:13.279 it's But when I found out that Germo del Toro wrote a script for this 110 00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:18.519 movie and they rejected it because it was too edgy and two out there, 111 00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:24.560 and then then I wanted somebody's head. Okay, this movie was just okay, 112 00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:26.879 just good enough. Enjoyed it. I recommend it if you like the 113 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:31.920 Haunted Mansion. You like Disney movies, don't pass this up. But let 114 00:08:31.039 --> 00:08:37.519 us find the person that rejected Germo del Toro's script and tar and feather that 115 00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:43.200 person, because that's what it needed. Something far and out there like Sam 116 00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:50.399 Barbie. Barbie's killing it with their pushing the envelope and they're out there script 117 00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:54.039 that they that they somehow got Mattel to sign off on, and the Haunted 118 00:08:54.080 --> 00:09:00.200 Mansion. Some whiney Weasley executives said they don't like the Gamo Deltro script because 119 00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:01.840 it's a little too far out there. It's pushing the envelope too much. 120 00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:05.519 Okay, we don't need that guy and Disney suffering. You don't need people 121 00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:09.559 like that, so get rid of them. It's clean house, all right. 122 00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:11.919 So h and then Sound of Freedom. We got some Sound of Freedom 123 00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:18.240 news. Maybe we'll wait on that in the next segment. Sound of Freedom 124 00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:22.279 it still beating Mission Impossible. It has made twelve million dollars more in money 125 00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:31.000 than Mission Impossible. Indiana Jones is at one seventy million. It's only so 126 00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:37.639 the Indiana Jones movie has only made seven million dollars more than Sound of Freedom. 127 00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:41.480 And you pointed out that some people are buying tickets or sound Sound of 128 00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:46.559 Freedom and they're not showing up empty theaters or whatever. Astroturfing. Yeah, 129 00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:52.279 well, I do know that UM companies like in and out Burger will buy 130 00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:56.000 a theater, they'll buy out the whole theater, and then they'll tell their 131 00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:58.720 employees to go, and then some of the employees don't want to go. 132 00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:03.559 So that's where some of the sales come from. But they also, you 133 00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:05.759 know, they got to make up for the people that want this film to 134 00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:11.240 die, the pedophiles and other people or the pedophile the friends of the pedophiles. 135 00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:15.080 Well, we have we have some more friends of Pedophiles stories coming up 136 00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:18.120 after the break. Can we take the break now and check the traffic? 137 00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:22.320 Yea, let's tack the traffic and we'll come back. Joe's Scalante Live from 138 00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:30.159 Hollywood. Joe's excuse me there, Joe's Scalante Live from Hollywood. If by 139 00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:39.279 Hollywood you mean bird Banka. Okay, we're still talking about movies, and 140 00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:46.440 we were talking during the break. Sam and I were about Tom the Turtles, 141 00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:48.840 and Sam says that they you think that's a hot property, the Ninja 142 00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:52.759 Turtles coming forward. There's a video game. Yeah, well, well they 143 00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:56.399 have a lot of different storylines and things like that that they that have are 144 00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:00.679 in comic book for them. But there's one that's star it as a comic 145 00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:03.960 about like six seven years ago and is being developed into a video game that 146 00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:09.120 looks amazing. It's a really dark take on the turtles. It's called The 147 00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:15.399 Last Ronan And if you know anything about the turtles, it's basically all of 148 00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:18.200 them and like you know, Splinter and all of the turtles except for one 149 00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:22.960 of them are killed and there's just one of them left. I love it. 150 00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:26.720 Yeah, it's amazing. So yeah, if you get a chance to, 151 00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:28.320 we'll look into that one. Check it out. The Last Ronin is 152 00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:33.759 awesome. There there was a lot of um, I mean, I'm not 153 00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:37.200 familiar with these turtles there. I'm too old to have enjoyed them as a 154 00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:41.039 youth, and but I get it. You know, it's like, hey, 155 00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:45.080 we skateboard wet pizza, and you think maybe they can just hang their 156 00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:50.120 hat on that, but it was it was more than that. So I 157 00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:54.159 recommend it to people who who you know, are just moderately open to the 158 00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:58.360 idea of seeing it. It's not like I'm telling people, oh, whatever 159 00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:01.240 you do, drop what you're doing and go see the Ninja Turtles because it's 160 00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:07.799 life changing. No, but it was an interesting world under that in the 161 00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:11.159 sewers. They live in the sewers. I think people know and I just 162 00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:20.200 enjoyed it so sounded freedom. This film a lot of controversy, which is 163 00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:24.559 bizarre because it just to me it's demonic people. Some people don't believe in 164 00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:31.360 the devil. But when you're watching this movie, I encourage, highly recommend 165 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:35.039 this movie. When you're watching this movie and you're it's about a guy who 166 00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:43.639 sets up a sting in Colombia and he gets in Cartagena, he sets up 167 00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:48.399 a sting. I was not there for this sting, but the sting operation 168 00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:56.519 is working with the Colombian government to get them to rescue some children. Because 169 00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:01.559 this guy is a former law enforcement officer in the US and he was busting 170 00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:03.440 a lot of pedophiles, but he was never rescuing the children. So he 171 00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:09.159 wanted to go further and then he comes up with this insane plan and it's 172 00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:11.000 it's kind of it's one of those things like a movie where where you think 173 00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:13.879 there's no way he's going to get out of this. He can't pull this 174 00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:16.960 off, This can't be done. And he goes into the jungle and he's 175 00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:20.080 you know, no one will go with him, and he and he pulls 176 00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:24.840 it us off. He rescues the children. Then they then you're like, 177 00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:30.000 you're kind of in disbelief that anyone could be this gross to where they would 178 00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:33.639 want to go to a party where all these children are going to be busted, 179 00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:39.399 are floated in on these boats. It's basically about this, these um 180 00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:46.279 these people that will order children young children, and so you you have a 181 00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:50.440 hard time believing it that this is that this can actually happen, and so 182 00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:56.000 maybe it's exaggerated or whatever, and so you just kind of take take it 183 00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:58.559 for granted, it's not really maybe it's not really how it happened. Maybe 184 00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:03.559 it's a little some theatrical license going on here. Then they show real footage 185 00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:07.480 at the end of the actual sting, the party that the that these guys 186 00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:11.399 put on. They put on a party and they floated in these children. 187 00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:16.480 It was it was like the old Jasleneck joke. It was a camp for 188 00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:22.159 kids about to be molested. And they got there and then they busted him 189 00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:28.200 and they busted all the pedophiles and they rescue the kids. I mean, 190 00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:31.399 it's not really a spoiler alert because we all kind of know what's going on. 191 00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:35.399 The story is how he went about it and how he sacrificed everything in 192 00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:39.039 his life. Now, for some reason, people are associating this with a 193 00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:45.039 political movement and so they wanted to discount it. Um. So okay, 194 00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:48.279 that's on them. I believe it's it's that's the demonic part. Why would 195 00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:50.720 you be against this? Now? You maybe people don't believe in the devil, 196 00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:54.200 but the devil is mentioned, you know, I don't know how many 197 00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:58.399 times in the Bible, and most of the people in our country do believe 198 00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:01.200 in the Bible. I'm one of them, um, And the devil is 199 00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:03.879 mentioned all over. So who is the devil? What does the devil do? 200 00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:07.759 Jesus talks about the devil all the time, and the devil does bad 201 00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:13.000 things and causes people to do bad things. And when you see the real 202 00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:20.240 footage of this pedophile island sting operation, you could there really were people there 203 00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:24.919 that we would risk everything just to just to molesque kids, to rape kids. 204 00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:28.639 They were I mean the risks are so high, I mean, what 205 00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:33.360 is the there's what is the upside? You know what the downside is is 206 00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:37.639 tremendous. But they do it anyway. What is their motivation? My opinion, 207 00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:41.399 it's demonic. Now what is the motivation for people trying to get you 208 00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:46.200 not to see this movie? Um? I also agree that's demonic. H 209 00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:52.559 here's the latest article about the movie in Entertainment Weekly, where a guy named 210 00:15:52.639 --> 00:16:00.960 Christian Hulubum, probably demonically possessed, has written an article with the following headline, 211 00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:04.159 Sam, and you actually brought this to my attention. Sound of Freedom 212 00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:10.480 crowdfunder arrested on child kidnapping charges. Okay, so this guy writes for the 213 00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:14.759 Entertainment Weekly, and this is the story he wants to get across to people. 214 00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:18.399 Hey, everybody, don't go see Sound of Freedom. Even the crowdfunders 215 00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:22.159 are child molesters. They're trying to tell you that they're saving child molesters, 216 00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:26.120 but they are really child molesters. That's the message that I'm getting from this 217 00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:33.039 from this headline, don't go see this movie. It's it's there. They're 218 00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:38.240 hypocrites. Basically, Now I knew this is this is ninety nine percent chance 219 00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:42.039 this would be a b S story because I know people are working overtime to 220 00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:45.720 try to get you not to see Sound of Freedom, So I read it. 221 00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:51.519 It didn't take long to figure it out. This guy has nothing better 222 00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:56.159 to do and is so committed to making you not see this movie that he 223 00:16:56.320 --> 00:17:00.960 scoured through the crowdfunding list. Okay, you know in a movie's crowdfunding. 224 00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:03.639 You know, you see these movies and at the end there's like thousands of 225 00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:06.880 names in the credits. Hey, if you guys put up five hundred bucks, 226 00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:11.039 put your name in the credits. He scoured it. Six out of 227 00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:15.119 six thousand, six hundred and seventy eight people who invested an average of five 228 00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:21.200 hundred and one dollars each, he found one person that had a kidnapping a 229 00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:23.920 charge filed against them out of six thousand, six hundred and seventy eight. 230 00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:27.480 And he doesn't tell you who that person, anything about that person, like 231 00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:30.960 whether it's a uh. You know, we read all the time about the 232 00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:37.559 child custody cases. Where you're in the you're in the social services business in 233 00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:44.440 a way, Sam, you know what happens between people fighting over child custody. 234 00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:52.319 They they the kids brought home late and they file a kidnapping complete now 235 00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:53.720 he doesn't tell us anything about that. I don't know if this is the 236 00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:56.640 worst kidnapper in the world. I don't know if he's you know, just 237 00:17:56.759 --> 00:18:03.319 had some very toxic a relationship with his with the mother of these kids. 238 00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:07.440 I don't know. I don't know the guy. There's nothing in there about 239 00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:11.279 this guy's side of the story. The guy that was accused of this nothing. 240 00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:12.880 He's just been accused of it, not convicted. But this is the 241 00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:19.160 headline, sound of Freedom crowdfunder arrested on child kidnapping charges. Subtext, don't 242 00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:29.359 go see this movie. Um wow. So despite all that, this movie 243 00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:37.000 has beat mission impossible. So this is good versus evil in my opinion. 244 00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:41.319 How much time I got left? Do you have more rants? You've got 245 00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:47.559 about one minute? Okay, So Sam, I'm recommending you see this movie 246 00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:55.960 and m and buy ten tickets, but only see one of them. But 247 00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:57.720 they also do have at the end, Jim Cavizel. I don't know how 248 00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:00.599 to pronounce his name really, um, even though I've met him. Um. 249 00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:06.200 He has a message at the end saying if you want to buy tickets 250 00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:08.359 for other people that don't have money, it's a way to you know, 251 00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:12.720 donate to this cause because they're up against it on this thing. You know, 252 00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:17.599 Uh, nobody wants this thing. It's very hard to sell a project 253 00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:22.079 that it has to do with, um uh, sexual crimes against kids anyway, 254 00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:27.079 because the entertainment executives, you know, they just don't want that to 255 00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:32.799 be part of their daily work. And I understand that. But what's going 256 00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:38.359 on against this film is is gross. Um. Okay, let's take a 257 00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:47.160 break and we'll come back with more. Joe Scowante live from Hollywood. I 258 00:19:47.240 --> 00:19:56.480 cannot live the brothers, can't Denis anyway, extent around in your face, 259 00:19:56.079 --> 00:20:07.039 you say, all right. You know, at first I started to get 260 00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:11.279 annoyed about these AI songs, but now I'm starting to enjoy them. I 261 00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:15.720 think they they work well on this show. That was Presley singing, so 262 00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:22.559 makes a lots I like Big Butts. Thanks for playing that, Sam Oh 263 00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:29.559 yeah, no, absolutely my pleasure. Um. You know, I if 264 00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:32.480 Elvis was alive today, may or he wouldn't even have to be alive today. 265 00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:36.599 I mean that song came out in the eighties, right, Big Butts. 266 00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:37.880 He could have sang that just hang on. He could have hang on 267 00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:41.960 just for a little bit longer. And saying that song, it would have 268 00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:45.599 been nice to see Elvis do a cover of that live on stage when like, 269 00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:48.160 if he had lived long enough to be able to do that, he 270 00:20:48.279 --> 00:20:52.599 was a guy that could really take anybody else's song and turn it into his 271 00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:56.200 gold. So I think that's one that he could have really knocked out of 272 00:20:56.240 --> 00:21:03.559 the park. Absolutely. Okay, as far as the movies go, I 273 00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:08.720 think we've I think we've burned it into the ground. You want to go 274 00:21:08.839 --> 00:21:14.599 see The Ninja Turtles that if you haven't seen the Barbie and the Oppenheimer and 275 00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:18.160 the Mission Impossible is Impossible is a great movie. So it's getting burned because 276 00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:22.519 of the timing of when it came out. The same with the Turtles getting 277 00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:26.960 burned a little bit. Same with Indiana Jones. Indiana Jones got burned. 278 00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:30.960 But then there's a lot of Barbenheimer excitement of the movies that maybe Indiana Jones 279 00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:34.039 was going to fail even worse, and Indiana Jones is still it's good enough, 280 00:21:34.079 --> 00:21:40.680 it's good, it's better than the prior ones. And we're seeing so 281 00:21:40.839 --> 00:21:45.119 let's go to television. There's a lot of noise going on right now. 282 00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:52.000 Of there was a letter written by these some attorneys to NBC Universal, accusing 283 00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:56.240 them of grotesque and depraved mistreatment on a reality TV series, or on many 284 00:21:56.319 --> 00:22:00.480 reality TV series. You might see some headlines, and like many headlines that 285 00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:07.440 happen, there's there's not much substance to this because they don't name the shows, 286 00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:11.799 they don't name the people. They just say, NBC, we are 287 00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:15.319 coming after you. And it's Mark Garages, who's like a you know, 288 00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:22.240 a TV lawyer, like a publicity seeker. But so I wouldn't. I 289 00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:23.799 mean, you might be hearing about this, but it just doesn't seem to 290 00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:30.359 be more than maybe a shakedown and maybe a shakedown. And I don't think 291 00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:32.720 they're gonna give a lot of sympathy out of these people because the years are 292 00:22:32.720 --> 00:22:36.319 not likable people on most of these reality shows, and they're there only to 293 00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:40.599 get famous, and you know, the mistreatment is like, you know, 294 00:22:40.680 --> 00:22:47.160 you're going a long time without food and you're forced to do embarrassing things and 295 00:22:47.400 --> 00:22:52.839 the hours are long and the pay is low, but that is you know, 296 00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:57.720 my personal thing was just the time when somebody pooped on a slip and 297 00:22:57.799 --> 00:23:03.240 slide that kills you where you draw the line, No, well, that's 298 00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:07.920 where the like they killed an entire show before it even launched. Oh, 299 00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:11.319 some pooped on the slipping's line. Yeah. I don't want to be a 300 00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:14.480 part of a reality show like that. But I don't really want to be 301 00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:17.640 a part of any reality show unless it's like a you know, got a 302 00:23:17.680 --> 00:23:19.200 positive spin of some kind, but then it would get low ratings. So 303 00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:23.759 you can't win in the reality TV business if you're on one of my shows. 304 00:23:23.839 --> 00:23:27.759 I only hire experts, sam, I hire actors on my shows. 305 00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:32.599 If you want to see my shows, they're on Fox Nation, Monsters Across 306 00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:42.920 America and Alien Abductions with Abby HORNESSEC. I employ experts, authors and actors 307 00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:48.880 and animators, so no one's getting harmed on my shows. But I don't 308 00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:51.880 have the stomach for that kind of reality show. And maybe it's a bigger 309 00:23:52.559 --> 00:23:55.799 business, but I don't have a stuff. I've never had the stomach for 310 00:23:55.839 --> 00:23:59.079 a lot of businesses that are very big. Like when I owned a record 311 00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:02.680 label for twenty something years, I didn't have the stomach for some things that 312 00:24:02.759 --> 00:24:07.000 other record labels could do, like publishing, like buying people's publishing. If 313 00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:10.240 you buy people's publishing, wild just diverting into the music business right now. 314 00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:15.920 When whenever a songwriter sells, they're publishing or a portion of it. Sooner 315 00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:19.039 or later someone tells them they got ripped off, no matter what was paid 316 00:24:19.079 --> 00:24:22.759 for it and what it was worth, but they are getting people are telling 317 00:24:23.240 --> 00:24:26.079 them you got ripped off. Why would you sell your publishing? Well, 318 00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:30.559 they give me a large advance that they will never recoup and they're going to 319 00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:33.119 run around and try to promote my music. Oh no, they're taking your 320 00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:36.839 music. They're taking you. You just blew it, dude. So I 321 00:24:36.920 --> 00:24:40.960 just wouldn't do it. I did it once and because there was some nice 322 00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:48.359 guys that I knew that that wouldn't complain all the time and stuff like that. 323 00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:49.839 I don't have a taste. I don't have the stomach to do these 324 00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:56.640 kind of reality shows where you're harming people or pushing the envelope. But I 325 00:24:56.799 --> 00:25:00.319 also think that there's a there is a there is a level of well, 326 00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:03.440 you asked for it, you've seen a reality show, you know what it's 327 00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:07.720 like. And then there's a lot of you know, they're shakedowns everywhere, 328 00:25:08.319 --> 00:25:12.599 so this one and they're telling the people like preserve evidence, this is a 329 00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:22.160 demand for you to preserve evidence because we're coming after you. I'm not I'm 330 00:25:22.200 --> 00:25:25.680 not buying it yet. The music business right now, what's a big music 331 00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:27.880 story going on right now? What do you think it is? Sam? 332 00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:34.160 Something to do with AI and Elvis making a comeback. Maybe in your world, 333 00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:37.839 but the rest of the world, it's Taylor Swift. Oh, yes, 334 00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:41.799 yeah, she's been in town actually, like she just had what verse 335 00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:47.400 or second night of her concert last night at so Far. Yeah, a 336 00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:49.599 lot of fomo going on on Instagram. My wife's even got it. Like, 337 00:25:49.680 --> 00:25:52.960 I don't know, man, it looks like everybody's at Taylor Swift. 338 00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:56.799 Feel like I should be there, but uh, yeah, the shows look 339 00:25:56.839 --> 00:26:00.559 great, she looks great, she sounds great, and it's making so much 340 00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:03.400 money. It's like actually benefiting the economy in the towns that it's going to 341 00:26:04.599 --> 00:26:07.119 with all the Uh, there's a lot of people working on that tour. 342 00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:12.839 She was giving out one hundred thousand dollars bonuses to each truck driver earlier this 343 00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:18.680 week. Okay, that's life changing. Someone hands you one hundred thousand dollars, 344 00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:21.160 I feel bad because I feel like I should give you one hundred thousand 345 00:26:21.160 --> 00:26:23.759 dollars bonus now now, that now that she's done it, So, um, 346 00:26:25.119 --> 00:26:27.319 can that be a thing? I might, don't you know what, 347 00:26:29.200 --> 00:26:32.240 I just it's just I'd have to I'd have to move around some money, 348 00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:34.440 so I probably won't get around to it. Okay, it's the thought that 349 00:26:34.559 --> 00:26:37.960 counts. I appreciate it. I would love to do that. It'll change 350 00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:44.680 your life. Um. Uh. And then she has given out bonuses totally 351 00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:51.200 over fifty five million dollars to everyone from dancers to riggers, to sound technicians 352 00:26:51.279 --> 00:26:56.559 and catering unbelievable fluffers. What what's that to an in here? Lizzo, 353 00:26:57.400 --> 00:27:03.519 on the other hand, go on the other she's been accused of sexual harassment 354 00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:07.079 and weight shaming by her former dancers. Now, the reason why I would 355 00:27:07.079 --> 00:27:11.480 take this a little more seriously than some of these other stories is because Lizzo 356 00:27:12.039 --> 00:27:17.799 is a media darling. We're all rooting for Lizzo, aren't we. I 357 00:27:17.920 --> 00:27:22.880 Mean, she's, um, the body positivity thing, and that you know, 358 00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:27.960 the uh it is it is, you know, helped so many people 359 00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:30.759 that didn't fit into the Barbie category. I mean, wouldn't you agree? 360 00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:36.359 Yeah? No, she has definitely been influential. Uh. And she's a 361 00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:41.759 positive for so everybody. She's a woman of color, Sam, I don't 362 00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:47.839 know if you know that. Yes, she she ticks all the boxes. 363 00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:51.359 She's everything that we are supposed to be loving right now, and we do 364 00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:56.240 love her. Um and then, but now this story is getting a lot 365 00:27:56.279 --> 00:28:00.960 of traction. There's a lot of Purvo stuff and here too, Sam. 366 00:28:02.039 --> 00:28:06.440 I know you're not as sensitive as I am to the Purvo the purvo things 367 00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:10.640 that are that are being thrown around in our society today. But at least 368 00:28:10.680 --> 00:28:15.960 I do a better job pretending that I'm sensitive to them. Um. Yeah, 369 00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:19.079 there's like, you know, touch other people's body parts. Uh. 370 00:28:22.160 --> 00:28:26.640 I don't know a better way to use the word dildo. There's dildo's involved. 371 00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:33.400 One of the quotes from the suit says, the stunning nature of how 372 00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:37.680 Lizzo and her management team treated their performers seems to go against everything Lizzo stands 373 00:28:37.720 --> 00:28:41.599 for publicly, while privately she wait shames at her dancers and demeans them in 374 00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:48.480 ways that are not only illegal but absolutely demoralizing. Yeah. So anyway, 375 00:28:49.400 --> 00:28:55.279 this one, normally I would be like, well, let's just this is 376 00:28:55.400 --> 00:28:56.640 unfair. I mean, could it be true? It's got to be. 377 00:28:56.920 --> 00:28:59.759 It's one of those things where like in your mind, your own it's got 378 00:28:59.839 --> 00:29:06.039 to be true to some extent because who wants to go after Lizza And a 379 00:29:06.119 --> 00:29:07.319 lot of times That's what I'm saying. You got to look at these these 380 00:29:07.400 --> 00:29:14.599 news stories in that light because the there's so much bias now in the in 381 00:29:14.720 --> 00:29:18.519 the writing. Um okay, So do we need to take a break here 382 00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:22.640 or come on a break here? Keep coming here? Okay. When we 383 00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:29.920 come back, we're going to talk about Tory spellings, a sad situation or 384 00:29:30.160 --> 00:29:34.559 is it got some Disneyland news, some Disney news and morn coming up? 385 00:29:34.599 --> 00:30:08.079 Joe's Gone a line from Hollywood Joe you don't want Hey, Joe'scalante right here 386 00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:17.200 every Sunday from five to seven on kae IB The Patriot that's eleven fifty on 387 00:30:17.279 --> 00:30:22.680 your AM dial. And then you get them the podcast later. When you 388 00:30:22.759 --> 00:30:26.839 go to where you go, you go to Apple, you go to iHeart 389 00:30:26.680 --> 00:30:29.880 Media. That's where we want you to go. I Heart Media, I 390 00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:33.079 Hart Radio, I Hight Radio. That's where you go. Ohm okay. 391 00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:37.160 So I was talking about it's a lot of bias in the reporting these days. 392 00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:41.680 So I'm always careful when I read a story about a couple of people 393 00:30:42.119 --> 00:30:45.160 like, if there's a story about Sound of Freedom, I look at it 394 00:30:47.480 --> 00:30:51.200 skeptically, and today I was proved right. Two people sent me that story 395 00:30:51.200 --> 00:30:53.680 about Sound of Freedom and some kidnapper and it's a it's a b S story. 396 00:30:55.400 --> 00:31:00.519 Um as, uh, here's another one, Elon Musk. And are 397 00:31:00.519 --> 00:31:03.160 any articles about Elon Musk? Like, now that he has been flirting with 398 00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:08.240 conservatism, he's hated in the media. So you've got um, you got 399 00:31:08.319 --> 00:31:14.880 to watch out. Here's an headline that I saw today as twitters add business 400 00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:21.880 erodes, Elon Musk's ex Corps sues a nonprofit that tracks hate speech. Okay, 401 00:31:21.920 --> 00:31:26.759 so this headline was, you know, designed to what's the message here? 402 00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:32.960 The message is there is a very evil man afoot and he's doing horrible 403 00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:37.039 things and his business and he's not only harming other people's harming himself because he's 404 00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:44.599 so stupid. His ad business is eroding and he is and while that's going 405 00:31:44.680 --> 00:31:48.359 on, he's suing a nonprofit. A nonprofit. Oh, that's terrible. 406 00:31:48.440 --> 00:31:51.519 He must be really evil. What kind of a nonprofit? Is it? 407 00:31:51.640 --> 00:31:56.599 One that promotes hate speech? No, he's suing one that tracks hate speech? 408 00:31:56.680 --> 00:32:02.240 Oh? No, oh, okay, then when you dig into it, 409 00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:06.519 well, what's the real story here. The story is the media hates 410 00:32:07.160 --> 00:32:09.119 him, hates Elon Muskin. They like to tell you you even though this 411 00:32:09.200 --> 00:32:13.519 guy made all the electric cars and made all that possible, they hate him 412 00:32:13.559 --> 00:32:16.160 now. So every headline is they're trying to take him down, doing the 413 00:32:16.200 --> 00:32:21.200 best they can. So this one is pretty silly. But the real story 414 00:32:21.319 --> 00:32:27.839 here is that there's some company that is the Center for Countering Digital Hate. 415 00:32:28.839 --> 00:32:34.039 It sounds like just that sounds just kind of just kind of boring, but 416 00:32:35.119 --> 00:32:37.680 digital hate. Okay, So digital hate is, you know, it's kind 417 00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:44.880 of subjective. But what they did is they they were taking information that was 418 00:32:44.920 --> 00:32:52.960 proprietary and using that information to put out reports that would harm his advertising. 419 00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:58.240 So his advertising is going down. One of the reasons, they believe is 420 00:32:58.279 --> 00:33:01.480 the Center for Countering Digital Hate, because they're putting out reports and saying, 421 00:33:01.960 --> 00:33:06.960 don't advertise on Twitter. There's so much hate here you can't believe it. 422 00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:10.599 And since and here's the numbers, so they're sewing them. I'd sue him 423 00:33:10.599 --> 00:33:16.720 too. Let's go to Disneyland for some more happier news. Sam, How's 424 00:33:16.759 --> 00:33:22.000 that I really appreciate happy. I only went to Disneyland once this week. 425 00:33:22.279 --> 00:33:30.079 That's sad Disneyland news. I was going to Disneyland to meet my friend the 426 00:33:30.119 --> 00:33:32.559 Fancy Club, and on the way there, he's like, Hey, I 427 00:33:32.599 --> 00:33:37.920 can't make it. I'm too busy. I'm I'm a very important person. 428 00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:40.200 I can't be going to Disneyland at four thirty in the afternoon and then so 429 00:33:40.400 --> 00:33:44.200 I'm already there by the time I get this message. So I'm just gonna 430 00:33:44.279 --> 00:33:45.880 run. If you see me running around Disneyland by myself, a grown man, 431 00:33:46.440 --> 00:33:52.519 all dressed up, you know, feel sorry for me. But Disneyland, 432 00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:55.759 Disney itself right now, you know that Bob Iger is running things. 433 00:33:55.920 --> 00:34:00.160 Came back blah blah blah, save the company. He has admitted that it's 434 00:34:00.200 --> 00:34:04.720 in worse shape than he thought and he's having a hard time. So he's 435 00:34:04.759 --> 00:34:06.960 brought back to God. This is the big news out of Disney right now. 436 00:34:07.160 --> 00:34:09.559 He brought back these two guys, Kevin Meyer and Tom Staggs. Kevin 437 00:34:09.639 --> 00:34:14.280 Meyer is the guy who left when they hired Bob Chapeck because he thought he 438 00:34:14.320 --> 00:34:22.239 could run the place. And maybe he could, but he was he was 439 00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:23.599 just kind of, you know, sour grapes. You're not going to make 440 00:34:23.639 --> 00:34:28.320 me president CEO, then I'm leaving. So he went over to TikTok. 441 00:34:28.480 --> 00:34:30.400 Lasted only a couple of months there, and then he went over to some 442 00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:37.440 hedge fund kind of thing to raise money to buy other entertainment properties. Okay, 443 00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:43.000 not his glamorous as being the head of Disneyland and Disney everything, but 444 00:34:43.280 --> 00:34:46.039 you know, making some money. Tom Stags also over there with his hedge 445 00:34:46.079 --> 00:34:49.320 fund. I think it's the same one. They're all together over there. 446 00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:52.880 Tom Staggs used to be the head of a it's like the CFO. He's 447 00:34:52.920 --> 00:35:01.159 the guy who at one point took ESPN out of the like bundle thing where 448 00:35:01.159 --> 00:35:05.400 you like, if you buy cable, you get ESPN. Yeah, and 449 00:35:06.239 --> 00:35:07.199 then he took it out of there. He had some scheme. He goes, 450 00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:10.920 now we're gonna make people pay for blah blah blah. And then ESPN's 451 00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:17.480 ratings plummeted, the income plummeted, just exacerbated cable cord cutting and all that 452 00:35:17.679 --> 00:35:22.559 kind of stuff, and ESPN, which used to be the cash cow that 453 00:35:22.639 --> 00:35:25.000 paid for everything else in the Disney world, is now something they're looking to 454 00:35:25.039 --> 00:35:30.800 sell. Now. The reason why I'm bringing that up is because they the 455 00:35:30.880 --> 00:35:34.920 word on the street is the smart money. Why would he bring these two 456 00:35:34.960 --> 00:35:39.119 guys over that he passed over to be the CEOs last time, because they're 457 00:35:39.119 --> 00:35:42.400 part of this hedge money. I think's budding up to him and saying, 458 00:35:42.400 --> 00:35:45.239 hey, why don't you get your guys to buy CNN, to buy ESPN 459 00:35:45.320 --> 00:35:52.199 off me? That's the smart money. So look for Bob Biker to start 460 00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:58.039 selling Disney Disney properties. You can sell the stations, you can sell ABC 461 00:35:58.199 --> 00:36:00.760 Network, you can sell like you know, free Form TV. He can 462 00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:07.400 sell ESPN. He can That's a lot of things, and that's what he's 463 00:36:07.400 --> 00:36:10.480 got to do something to turn it around. One thing they're trying to do 464 00:36:10.559 --> 00:36:15.679 over there to turn it around is finally open up the Steakhouse fifty five. 465 00:36:15.719 --> 00:36:19.199 This is more Disneyland Park news for you locals. Do you ever go to 466 00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:23.239 Steakhouse fifty five Sam in the Disneyland Hotel? No, I've never been there. 467 00:36:23.840 --> 00:36:29.320 Do you like an old fashioned steakhouse? I love an old fashioned steakhouse? 468 00:36:29.840 --> 00:36:31.360 Okay, well there, you know most of them are in LA you 469 00:36:31.400 --> 00:36:35.760 know the ones that I grew up going to and h but this one is 470 00:36:35.840 --> 00:36:37.760 an Anaheim, you know, at the Disneyland Hotel, and it was a 471 00:36:37.960 --> 00:36:42.760 classic I mean, it wasn't around for you know, since the thirties or 472 00:36:42.800 --> 00:36:45.199 something like that. But but they did a great job and they turned this 473 00:36:45.400 --> 00:36:51.639 thing was the most insane breakfast. I spent my fifty fifth birthday there actually 474 00:36:51.800 --> 00:36:58.239 get it. So yeah, so it was so I was so devastated when 475 00:36:58.239 --> 00:37:00.199 they decided to close it down. And you know, it's probably it was 476 00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:06.159 probably the same guy that rejected the Guiermo del Toro haunted mansion script that closed 477 00:37:06.199 --> 00:37:08.039 this down. It was that bad of an idea. And and it's been 478 00:37:08.079 --> 00:37:13.480 sitting vacant for years and now they've the big news is from our friend Brady 479 00:37:13.599 --> 00:37:20.280 McDonald's an Orange County Register. They're going to turn it into a a brighter 480 00:37:20.440 --> 00:37:29.320 area bar and restaurant seasonal something. First of all, I never fall for 481 00:37:29.400 --> 00:37:31.079 the brighter an area or thing. That's what people like. Oh why don't 482 00:37:31.079 --> 00:37:35.760 we paint all the walls in um, this cool looking place white and get 483 00:37:35.760 --> 00:37:37.280 a bunch of white furniture, a bunch of square plates, and they'll be 484 00:37:37.360 --> 00:37:40.920 brighter an area. When I like a dark, old fashioned steakhouse. And 485 00:37:40.960 --> 00:37:45.320 that's what that was and it's gone and it's never coming back. So Disneyland, 486 00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:49.400 they got a lot of thinking to do about these decisions they're making. 487 00:37:50.280 --> 00:37:53.400 And I M, well, you know, I mean, you know, 488 00:37:53.440 --> 00:37:57.119 if they sell ESPN on a cry, who cares? Who owns ESPN? 489 00:37:57.599 --> 00:38:00.840 Who cares who owns ABC? They about ABC Television like in the nineties, 490 00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:04.239 it was like it wasn't even like they didn't own a network before. They 491 00:38:04.280 --> 00:38:07.559 weren't even allowed to own networks before because they were a studio. So it 492 00:38:07.599 --> 00:38:09.119 didn't work. None of this is working out for them. So maybe if 493 00:38:09.159 --> 00:38:15.039 they pare down and just stick to really cool parks and make some of their 494 00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:20.920 movies better. Maybe fire that guy that turned down the Gama though total script 495 00:38:21.000 --> 00:38:24.119 on Curiously, what was that all about? That one hurts my feelings. 496 00:38:24.519 --> 00:38:30.480 Yeah, they need to resurrect that and and make that movie. Who would 497 00:38:30.519 --> 00:38:32.639 Okay, there's such a thing. The only other thing, you know, 498 00:38:32.920 --> 00:38:37.920 the only other villain I have this week is Tory Spelling's mom, Candy Spelling. 499 00:38:37.719 --> 00:38:42.079 Um, there's a big to do because Tory Spelling she's got a mold 500 00:38:42.159 --> 00:38:44.119 problem in her house. And I gotta tell you, if you live in 501 00:38:44.159 --> 00:38:45.719 Beverly Hills and those houses I used to like, you know, I was 502 00:38:46.000 --> 00:38:50.400 looking for a house and went to a bunch of open houses there, and 503 00:38:50.519 --> 00:38:52.800 the ones that I could afford had the worst mold problems. I mean, 504 00:38:52.880 --> 00:38:57.559 these people, you know, they age in Beverly Hills and they don't clean 505 00:38:57.679 --> 00:39:00.360 it up and they don't take care of their houses. So I don't know, 506 00:39:00.440 --> 00:39:01.719 she's got a mold problem. So she had to move her kids to 507 00:39:01.800 --> 00:39:07.639 a motel for a while, and then she moved him to an RV and 508 00:39:07.760 --> 00:39:09.519 they're just staying down by the beach. And she's got like five kids. 509 00:39:10.360 --> 00:39:16.000 So the mom, Candy Spelling, is being scolded for not taking care of 510 00:39:16.039 --> 00:39:20.239 her because you know that Aaron Spelling, the most successful TV producer of all 511 00:39:20.320 --> 00:39:24.480 time, had an estate worth in the hundreds of millions, and I guess 512 00:39:24.519 --> 00:39:28.079 Tory Spelling ended up this is the interesting part of the story. I know 513 00:39:28.159 --> 00:39:30.960 you were waiting for it. She only ended up with about eight hundred thousand 514 00:39:30.960 --> 00:39:36.039 dollars out of out of Aaron Spelling's money, according to this story, and 515 00:39:37.039 --> 00:39:40.119 Candy Spelling was in charge of Aaron, you know, near his death. 516 00:39:40.880 --> 00:39:44.920 Aaron Spelling used to come into my not my actual office, but you know, 517 00:39:45.039 --> 00:39:46.400 on my floor and CBS a lot, and he was a big deal 518 00:39:46.480 --> 00:39:52.639 to CBS, and but Candy controlled him near the end, and it's too 519 00:39:52.679 --> 00:39:57.840 bad he couldn't do a better job of covering for his daughter. They did 520 00:39:58.039 --> 00:40:01.920 have a falling out before he died, and so she ends up like this. 521 00:40:02.360 --> 00:40:05.559 And I really don't think she's that bad of shape. I think she 522 00:40:05.599 --> 00:40:07.639 just said, I don't want to waste money on a fancy hotel for all 523 00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:10.239 this time while they're fixing my house at the moat, So let's take the 524 00:40:10.360 --> 00:40:13.920 kids to a cheap motel for a while and then we'll go down to the 525 00:40:14.000 --> 00:40:19.159 beach. And the shocking thing is how many paparazzi photos there are of Tory 526 00:40:19.199 --> 00:40:21.880 Spelling running around doing this like she's not even hiding any of it. So 527 00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:24.760 it can't be that bad for her. But she has a bad relationship with 528 00:40:24.840 --> 00:40:34.320 her mom and probably just waiting for her to pass on. So oh, 529 00:40:34.519 --> 00:40:37.400 I hear the music. It's time for us to go, Sam, It's 530 00:40:37.440 --> 00:40:44.119 been great, there's always more stick around. I now leave you guys with 531 00:40:44.360 --> 00:40:46.519 just a taste of the greatest song ever written.
