WEBVTT 1 00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:13.839 Joe Escolante live from by Hollywood, I mean Burbank, across the street from 2 00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:18.960 a Wiener Schnitzel that serves beer. And we are live tonight, which is 3 00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:26.679 November the nineteenth, twenty twenty three, and last week we were not on 4 00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:29.800 the air because I was in a I went on a cruise, punk rock 5 00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:37.159 cruise with the Vandals flogging Molly and Stiff Little Fingers and Pennywise into Baylee's in 6 00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:44.679 Mexico, and I went to Orlando to Disney World since I was out there. 7 00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:46.960 We're gonna do something a little different on this show. We're not gonna 8 00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:49.000 start with the box office. We're gonna start with stories, and we'll do 9 00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:56.079 the box office in the next segment. My first story is about a documentary 10 00:00:56.520 --> 00:01:06.120 that I was interest until I found out true. So this is that I 11 00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:14.000 was very excited to see Ruthless and it is the story of the origin of 12 00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:18.680 Monopoly. I mean, come on, Oh does that sound interesting? Sam? 13 00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:21.519 That sounds really cool? I got it. I'm so, this is 14 00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:25.359 this a Netflix documentary? Where where's it at? No, it's a PBSBS 15 00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:33.480 okay, yeah, extremely well made, interesting characters, interesting subject and it's 16 00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:38.000 right for this show because it was about a trademark, the Monopoly game, 17 00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:48.280 trademarked by the Parker Brothers company. And then some guy thought that the values 18 00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:57.319 that the game Monopoly a celebrated, meaning you know, wild capitalism and one 19 00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:00.560 winner and everyone else is a loser. He thought that he was offended by 20 00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:07.159 that. He thought, why can't we have a game called anti Monopoly and 21 00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:12.199 the goals to not get a Monopoly, I don't know, share the money 22 00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:20.400 with everybody. So this guy was a professor and college professor, and he 23 00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:23.560 he reworked the game to be an anti Monopoly game, and then he put 24 00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:27.080 it out and people liked it. It was doing pretty well, and then 25 00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:30.039 Parker Brothers sued him and said, that's a violation of our trademark. And 26 00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:34.000 he's like, well, really is it really? You know, I'm just 27 00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:38.319 so he had his reasons, like, you know, I'm doing something different. 28 00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:40.560 Things are different. I'm not using, you know, all these elements 29 00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:45.240 of yours. I got my own game. But they didn't like it, 30 00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:53.719 and so they went after him and he didn't stop, and he fought them. 31 00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:59.120 And it reminded me a lot of the time that I was sued or 32 00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:04.159 the vandals were sued by Variety magazine because we did a parody of their logo 33 00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:09.840 and wrote vandals similarly to where they write Variety, and our album was a 34 00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:16.400 parody on you know the Hollywood, you know the casting couch basically, and 35 00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:20.719 they went after us and they tried to ruin us, and they did everything 36 00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:23.840 they could. So I could really sympathize with this guy that this big company 37 00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:28.840 was trying to ruin him because Variety tried to ruin us, and he didn't 38 00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:30.199 have enough money to fight it. We didn't have enough money to fight it. 39 00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:34.560 We settled it the first time, and then they came back at us 40 00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:37.719 and said, oh, we've seen your logo on YouTube, and I go, 41 00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:39.080 yeah, we don't put it there like the old logo. It was 42 00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:43.360 released. We took it off the market. We gave them, you know, 43 00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:47.400 they made us put stickers on top of all the releases and never use 44 00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:52.319 it again, destroy merchandise, all that kind of stuff, all because we'd 45 00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:54.840 send it to them. They're artists, liked it, so we sent them 46 00:03:54.840 --> 00:04:00.879 some hats and some albums and some stickers, and they said thank you and 47 00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:04.199 then showed it to their bosses, and their bosses tell their lawyers and their 48 00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:10.080 lawyers suit us. Anyway, we ended up winning that, but it took 49 00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:14.840 year's out of my life and I had to get admitted to the federal bar 50 00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:18.079 to do it myself because all the lawyers I talked to had terrible advice. 51 00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:28.560 So this guy's fighting this thing the and he's fighting a giant company Parker Brothers, 52 00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:36.839 of course, a giant corporation. And he gets offered money to settle, 53 00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:40.120 won't take it. He's going to win, and he wants to be 54 00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:43.759 able to put his game out and he wants to be able to talk about 55 00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:46.360 it. And they're saying, no, we want to give you some money 56 00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:47.519 and you don't talk about it, you don't put your game out, or 57 00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:50.160 you can fight it us. So he fights, he fights them. You 58 00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:54.199 know, it's like a sad story. He's getting bankrupt and then and then 59 00:04:54.680 --> 00:05:00.480 in the end, this is spoiler alert. In the end, his he 60 00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:09.279 goes to court and they rule against him. And then according to the documentary, 61 00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:13.759 this man just wouldn't stop and he took his papers. This is straight 62 00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:18.600 from the script. He takes his papers and he marches. He goes to 63 00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:26.720 Washington and and because he's such a rugged individual, he knocks on the door 64 00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:31.680 at the Supreme Court and he gets them to take another look at his case, 65 00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:36.720 which is a Davy and Goliath case, and they rule in favor of 66 00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:46.120 him and he is now the winner, and Monopoly Parker brothers lose. And 67 00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:48.800 then you're and then I'm thinking, and I've gone to my wife. I'm 68 00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:53.360 like, wait, how do you knock on the door of the Supreme Court 69 00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:58.279 and get something get a decision to go to the Supreme Court? It takes 70 00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:01.600 first you have to go to Circuit court, and then after you get a 71 00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:09.920 determination there and there's like appeals and then at some point you can submit it 72 00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:13.920 to the Supreme Court and then you know, would take a year for them 73 00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:15.959 to look at it and say, okay, well we will take this case, 74 00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:23.720 and then they will hear it and then they will make a ruling on 75 00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:29.360 the lower court's decisions. And that's pretty much what the documentary said happened. 76 00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:30.800 So I go, that's kind of strange. I don't know how they do 77 00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:35.160 that, So I looked it up. It's a complete lie. Even though 78 00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:41.160 this monopoly thing on PBS was was interesting, but it's only interesting if you 79 00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:45.680 don't know that it's a lie. So what really happened when I went to 80 00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:56.000 research it is the court lower courts ruled against him. Then the circuit courts 81 00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:59.000 reversed that. So the Ninth Circuit Court reversed. He's done. He won. 82 00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:04.639 Now Parker Brothers goes to the Supreme Court and begs the Supreme Court to 83 00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:10.360 hear the case, and they finally do, and then the Supreme Court says 84 00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:13.160 no, they finally don't. They never hear the case. So this is 85 00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:17.040 so this guy. This documentary actually said the Supreme Court heard the case and 86 00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:21.680 voted in favor of this guy that invented mante monopoly. They didn't even take 87 00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:27.480 it. They they denied to take it. Okay, they said we're not 88 00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:30.120 going to hear this case, and so it just went. It stayed with 89 00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:33.360 the Ninth Circuit who had already were ruled in favor of this guy. So 90 00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:40.879 this PBS documentary trying to create some drama, just made up stuff, and 91 00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:44.279 you know, stuff that offended me because I go, that's not how the 92 00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:49.439 courts work. I'm very interested in this from a trademark standpoint, because can 93 00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:57.600 monopoly even own the trademark? Are is it a valid mark in the first 94 00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:01.600 place? And what is the process that he went to prove that they didn't 95 00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:05.399 own the trademark or they shouldn't own the trademark. Was fascinating to me, 96 00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:13.759 but it didn't really the people who make the documentary and PBS, I didn't 97 00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:16.160 care what was true. They're trying to tell some story. They were trying 98 00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:20.879 to tell a Davey Angelia's story, and they had written script and then backed 99 00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:24.800 the facts into the script that they wanted to. And then I felt a 100 00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:35.320 little bit manipulated because you'd think a documentary on PBS would have the utmost vetting 101 00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:41.360 and integrity and they would want to tell the truth. Why do a documentary 102 00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:46.080 and just make up lies to tell a good story? And then it made 103 00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:50.759 me doubt what else in this documentary is true and not true? What else 104 00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:54.480 at PBS is true and not true. I'm going to take a break right 105 00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:56.879 now and we come back. I'll get a little more into the actual case. 106 00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:03.120 And what if Parker Brothers does own a valid trademark? When should they? 107 00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:07.759 Now that I've got the lies out of the way, and you're listening 108 00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:13.440 to Joe Scalante Live from Hollywood, Joe Scalante Live from Hollywood, the business 109 00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:18.399 end of show business. Every Sunday here in k e IB, we were 110 00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:24.519 talking about the monopoly documentary on PBS, which I discovered is kind of full 111 00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:28.679 of lies. And for what I mean, this is a good story. 112 00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:31.039 I think we could have made something good out of it. But what I've 113 00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:37.799 discovered is they're so interested in making this Davy and Goliath a narrative, just 114 00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:41.320 front and center and clarified. Just like so the poor guy whoever's making this 115 00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:46.600 documentary, maybe he wanted to or she wanted to tell the truth, but 116 00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:54.120 somehow the lies ends up on the screen. The guy, this guy named 117 00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:58.120 mister Ann Sanch I'll get a little bit more into the actual trademark case and 118 00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:03.000 the last say, we're just talking about how I figured out a lot of 119 00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:07.759 it wasn't true. But mister Anspatch is a guy who's a professor at San 120 00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:13.279 Francisco State. He invents anti monopoly, he releases it, Parker Brothers sue 121 00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:18.960 him. He just goes on a rampage of research and figures out where that 122 00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:26.639 trying to figure out maybe their trademark isn't isn't valid, and he discovers where 123 00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:31.919 Parker Brothers got their trademark and where they got where they got the game from. 124 00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:37.559 They bought it from a guy named Charles Darrow. Now Charles Darrow is 125 00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:46.000 a guy who played Monopoly with his neighbor and I think they called it Finances, 126 00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:50.960 and he played it there with his neighbor. He liked it. It's 127 00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:54.159 like in the thirties. He likes it. He calls him up afterwards or 128 00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:58.399 sends him a letter, you know people are back then their letters, hey, 129 00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:00.879 and he says, can you write down the rules for me? That 130 00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:03.799 was really fun to play, And he wrote down the rules. And then 131 00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:09.480 Darrow started making him himself and he tried to sell him to games and told 132 00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:16.000 everyone he invented it. And then the guy that the neighbor who really invented 133 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:22.440 it sent to was like walking by a store one day and he saw a 134 00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:28.799 bank and it said, come and meet Darrow. Mister Darrow and the inventor 135 00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:31.840 of the new sensational game Monopoly. And so he just really and he made 136 00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:35.720 up a whole story about how he invented it. And that's like, so 137 00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:39.399 it has some story. Monopoly ends up buying our Barker brothers ends up buying 138 00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:43.159 it from him, and so this anspatch guy has got to prove that that 139 00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:46.720 trademark is not even valid so he can have his anti monopoly. Now that's 140 00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:48.799 a good story, that's a good fight. So all you got to do 141 00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:54.399 is figure out that they stole it or and then find out where they got 142 00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:56.840 it from and say theirs is invalid and challenge it and say that is not 143 00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:05.679 valid because they stole it, the guy that they got it from didn't own 144 00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:11.480 it, and other people were making the game simultaneously. So you can't just 145 00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:16.159 get a trademark on something because you want to win. It's already out in 146 00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:20.039 the marketplace. Now part of it is the Trademark Office's fault for giving a 147 00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:24.200 trademark to something that was already out there in several different forms. Some people 148 00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:30.519 were calling it finance or the Landlord's Game. I think the person that really 149 00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:33.679 invented it was a woman named Lizzie McGee that had something called the Landlord's Game 150 00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:37.399 and who knows where she got it. And the documentary is very interesting because 151 00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:41.960 they follow the path of these kind of games. They're called folk games, 152 00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:46.919 and they get handed down from generation to generation. People make their own versions 153 00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:48.360 and they you know, they actually write them down on a board or paint 154 00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:52.919 them on a board and they're like folk music, hand it down. So 155 00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:58.720 this guy you know in the end, as I told you in the last 156 00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:01.799 segment, hands up been winning it. But the case is that they tell 157 00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:09.759 you he won by is by proving that it wasn't then it was stolen and 158 00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:13.600 he did all this research, and then the research uncovered people who had already 159 00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:18.840 played Monopoly before and found the guy you know that they found even the people 160 00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:24.279 that the guy Darrow stole the Monopoly game from. But it's not really how 161 00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:30.679 the case went. The case was was decided from the point of can you 162 00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:37.879 trademark the word monopoly in association with the game? Is it a word that's 163 00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:41.919 already being used for in that purpose? And other people were using the word 164 00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:46.679 monopoly, So can you trademarket or can or can't you? The first court 165 00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:52.240 said you can, they can trademark that, and they have the reasons. 166 00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:56.679 Did anybody ever tell you the reason in this documentary? No nobody told the 167 00:13:56.679 --> 00:14:01.840 reasons. But eventually it was settled on whether or not this is a common 168 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:05.159 term like band aid or murphy bed, one of these terms that if you 169 00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:09.919 don't enforce it, you lose it, so they enforced it. They didn't 170 00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:15.440 force it, so they kept it. Then over time the Circuit Court said, 171 00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:20.559 nah, it's not you can't have it. You can't trademark that it 172 00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:24.320 was used too many times by other people. But we never heard that from 173 00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:26.519 the documentary. All we heard from this documentary is this Davy and Goliath story 174 00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:31.559 that they It's all they wanted to talk about. So anyway, I mean, 175 00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:33.200 I don't know. I felt a little violated. Should I do? 176 00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:37.759 I recommend it kind of if you already know there's a lot of good history 177 00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:39.720 in there. Maybe I don't know. As I'm telling you, I go, 178 00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:41.960 how much hot? What else is a lie? In this documentary? 179 00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:46.320 What else is a lie? On PBS? Similar to how I felt when 180 00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:48.600 I watched the Flower Moon movie. Not only was it too long, but 181 00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:52.720 it appears that they had one villain in there that was a Native American and 182 00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:56.200 they turned him into a white person. You know, I found his picture. 183 00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:58.799 I go, wow, this guy was not even Native American. Now 184 00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:01.440 when I look in the Internet, I can't even find a picture of that 185 00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:11.840 guy of any sort. So the conspiracy theory in me says, many they 186 00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:16.639 took that off the internet, because it's a very complicated thing to think about. 187 00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:20.879 If in the Flower Moon movie, the Orsese movie, they were Indians 188 00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:22.720 who are villains because they want to make it black and white, right, 189 00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:28.799 I just think you got to work a little harder on these things to make 190 00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:31.960 them interesting but still tell the truth. And I get a little bit bugged 191 00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:35.639 because you know, the people I work for. I make docuseries things for 192 00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:39.200 Fox Nation, which is on by Fox News Channel, and when I tell 193 00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:43.399 people this is what I do, they you know, some people say I 194 00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:45.960 love Fox News, and then other people say, oh, that's just all 195 00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:50.440 lies, lies, lies, lies. But there's no lies in anything I 196 00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:52.279 make, and no one's telling me to lie. I mean, mine are 197 00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:56.440 like paranormal stuff. Somebody's lying maybe if they said they saw were abducted by 198 00:15:56.440 --> 00:16:02.639 aliens. But I don't know. I just don't. I don't get that. 199 00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:07.440 But that's a reputation and here's PBS. These are demonstrable lies that are 200 00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:11.879 being told, and you know, I don't know, maybe you're not as 201 00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:15.759 mad about it as I am. So let's go back to the box Office. 202 00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:18.320 Okay, that's who we usually start the show, and the box Office 203 00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:23.799 this week is the leader is Sam. Can you take a guess? I 204 00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:30.480 have no idea. Okay, what's playing at the theater that you live on 205 00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:33.279 top of? At this point, I haven't really gone downstairs. I actually 206 00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:37.039 was at the Burbank wine Walk yesterday, so I got to wander around and 207 00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:40.960 stuff, but I didn't actually look at what movies were playing. That. 208 00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:45.200 That's why movies are doing so bad is because people are coming up with too 209 00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:48.919 many things for adults to do, like municipal concerts in the park, wine 210 00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:55.080 walks, pub crawls. Pickleball. This is killing the movie industry, Sam, 211 00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:57.919 pickleball is killing the film industry. Yes, you heard it here, 212 00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:02.360 because pick a ball. It's not even like exercise. You stand there and 213 00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:06.960 hit the ball back and forth. It's not like tennis. I'm just trying 214 00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:08.680 to make pickleball people mad at me, Glory. I'd like to see you 215 00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:14.400 play picklebull against me. Oh, why the court with your butt? Okay, 216 00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:17.079 all right, let's go to the box office. Number one is The 217 00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:22.400 Hunger Games, Sam, directed by some guy who Francis Lawrence, who directs. 218 00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:30.319 He's famous for directing other Hunger Games trolls. Number two Marvel's number four 219 00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:37.119 a total and utter disaster of a movie. But you and I are going 220 00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:41.519 to go see it tonight. Okay, excellent, I'm down. Okay, 221 00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:44.720 Actually I'm going to see Priscilla tonight, so I can't join you. But 222 00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:48.240 when you go see it, you tell me what the verdict is. Number 223 00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:53.200 three is Thanksgiving Eli Roth movie from Sony Pictures. Eli Roth is famous for 224 00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:59.039 like like Saw movies, Not Gonna Gore, porn and Thanksgiving. It has 225 00:17:59.079 --> 00:18:03.279 a plot, siwhat in't interesting to me? Sam about like a Black Friday 226 00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:10.839 rage turned into horror. It's a shopping theme some for the ladies. Five 227 00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:12.920 Nights at Freddy's Still hanging in there. Number five. That's one hundred and 228 00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:21.240 thirty two million dollars and that's that. That movie is the moneymaker. Holdovers 229 00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:29.240 number six, Number seven Taikey White, Titi's next goal Wins, which I'm 230 00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:30.839 sure is funny. I'm just not in that big of a hurry. Taylor 231 00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:34.559 Swift. Number eight, it's kind of an outlier. Number nine. Priscilla 232 00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:40.359 has made sixteen million dollars. It probably costs twenty five to make his my 233 00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:44.359 guess, but it's an eight to twenty four movie. Though they will squeeze 234 00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:49.839 twenty or thirty more million out of that and ancillary markets and other territories. 235 00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:55.079 Killers of the Flower Moon. The worst movie you ever made is number sixty. 236 00:18:55.319 --> 00:19:00.799 Is sixty three million dollars that it's made and costs i'll be three hundred 237 00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:03.720 million to make. Have you seen it yet, Sam? Not yet. 238 00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:06.680 I'm not going to spend money to sit in the theater for four hours to 239 00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:11.440 be outraged. Not my thing, dude. I would love for you to 240 00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:17.079 do that so you could. Maybe it's maybe I'm being too hard on it, 241 00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:23.039 but yeah, three hours and forty minutes. Whoa, that's longer than 242 00:19:23.079 --> 00:19:27.400 this segment of radio. Yeah, let's take it to break. Okay, 243 00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:30.279 we're going to take a break and we're going to come back with more exciting 244 00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:37.240 stuff from Joe Scalante Live from Hollywood. Joe's Scalante Live from Hollywood. If 245 00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:41.039 I Hollywood, I mean Burbank with the business end of show business every week 246 00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:47.680 here on k EIB eleven fifty on your AM dial. And we just finished 247 00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:51.000 up the box office. There's a couple of movies. I haven't gone to 248 00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:53.519 the theaters because of my my travels, and Sam, I know you haven't 249 00:19:53.519 --> 00:20:02.680 either because of your travails. Yes, I did see a streaming film, 250 00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:11.119 a brand new made for streaming film called The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar About. 251 00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:19.200 It's a Roald Dahl story, Sam So the guy who did Willie Wanka 252 00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:23.599 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the peach of this guy. He's 253 00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:26.759 a legend. So he wrote this in nineteen seventy six. I think are 254 00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:33.079 released it in seventy three years or somewhere around there. And it's very interesting 255 00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:36.720 this. I guess it's a short story. I don't know, but all 256 00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:42.359 Wes Anderson did really is have like it seems like Benedict cumber Patch just reads 257 00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:49.440 the book out loud and then they act out all the scenes in Wes anderson 258 00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:56.599 glory. You know what that looks like. Oh yeah, so it's narrated 259 00:20:56.599 --> 00:21:00.880 because the book is being read out loud. It's only thirty nine minutes. 260 00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:04.480 Not much of a commitment, but certainly worth checking out if you like Wes 261 00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:07.799 Anderson. If you don't like Wes Anderson, you know. And then of 262 00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:12.160 course there's just cameos everywhere, and you have your Benedict cumber Patch and you're 263 00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:27.160 sir Ben Kingsley, so definitely worth seeing on Netflix. I'm a big fan 264 00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:32.400 of Wonder Snatch. Oh yeah, cumber Patch. This is cumber Patch being 265 00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:37.000 cumber Patch. You know you got you want more cumber Patch. Henry Sugar 266 00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:42.079 is wall to wall cumber Patch. Okay, you were. And then as 267 00:21:42.119 --> 00:21:48.960 far as uh movies that we're anticipating, wish from Disney's coming out Napoleon, 268 00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:55.839 you got to want to see that. Joaquin Phoenix, what else is coming 269 00:21:55.839 --> 00:22:00.240 out? Captain America? Nobody cares? Am I right, nobody cares about 270 00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:03.559 Captain America. I'm sure people do. It's just I think everybody has superhero 271 00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:08.559 fatigue at this point. We want to see something quality that's not just like 272 00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:12.559 Loki or one of the Disney Plus series. Give us something that makes it 273 00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:18.000 so that we want to show up and make it more than just like the 274 00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:22.039 post credit trailers or the post credit scenes. Please, yes, because that's 275 00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:25.960 all really, that's what people are showing up now for, is just to 276 00:22:25.960 --> 00:22:30.839 see what's going to happen in the post credit scenes. Yes, I am. 277 00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:37.119 I am one of the people that wait around for them. So you're 278 00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:42.759 anticipating a wrestling movie. Yeah, it was an a twenty four film. 279 00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:47.799 I saw trailer four called The Iron Claw, and it's about the von Eric 280 00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:51.640 family. If you know anything about you know, pro wrestling, the von 281 00:22:51.799 --> 00:22:56.240 Erics are like the you know, first family of Texas wrestling, and they 282 00:22:56.240 --> 00:23:03.480 are a huge deal in Texas and they almost I think all of the kids 283 00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:10.359 died tragically within the family. It is, it is one of the most 284 00:23:10.359 --> 00:23:15.359 heartbreaking stories when you just hear the reality of it all. I'm curious to 285 00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:18.279 see how because this isn't a documentary, it's a scripted film. I'm curious 286 00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:22.960 to see how much Yeah, yeah, I'm curious to see how much they're 287 00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:26.119 going to be you know, how much is going to be dramatization and how 288 00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:29.640 much of it's going to be the real deal stuff, Because like Carrie von 289 00:23:29.799 --> 00:23:33.680 Eric, David van Eric, all of the von Eric brothers, they were 290 00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:40.119 all some of the most physically gifted elite athletes out there. Without question, 291 00:23:40.519 --> 00:23:45.039 they were you know, they were they were like all of them were alpha 292 00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:51.799 male and all of them had such tragic ends. It it is I am 293 00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:56.400 very curious to see how this film is made. Well, it looks like 294 00:23:56.440 --> 00:23:57.720 you won't have to wait long. It looks like it's already shot and zac 295 00:23:57.759 --> 00:24:03.359 Efron looks just like one of those von Erics, so that should be pretty 296 00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:08.359 good. Oh yeah, okay, so we did that, and man, 297 00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:15.400 Priscilla's doing well. I'm going to see that tonight. Let us now shift 298 00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:22.079 gears a little bit and go to the the Uh okay, well, I'll 299 00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:23.599 do a little bit on Las Vegas here. There's a Grand Prix going on 300 00:24:23.720 --> 00:24:27.680 right there right now. Did you know that I heard the Grand Prix Formula 301 00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:32.359 one driving through the streets. Yeah, I heard that, like within like 302 00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:36.279 the first couple of laps or something. They had to shut it down because 303 00:24:36.319 --> 00:24:40.079 somebody knocked over a manhole cover or something. Yeah, they ran over a 304 00:24:40.079 --> 00:24:42.880 manhole cover and it wasn't secured right away and it flopped up and did like 305 00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:48.160 eight million dollars worth of damage to that car and several million dollars. Do 306 00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:52.880 you ever go to have your car in an accident and go get an estimate 307 00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:56.960 and it's eight million dollars. That's enough to ruin your day. Well, 308 00:24:56.960 --> 00:25:00.720 that's kind of what happened. And then the manhole I guess or the car 309 00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:03.960 caused like, you know, twenty thirty million dollars with the damages to other 310 00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:08.720 cars and things, and so they had to scale back things. So there 311 00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:15.480 were people who paid fifty thousand dollars for their tickets that got to see eight 312 00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:18.319 minutes of racing. Wow, and it was done. You're out of here. 313 00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:26.920 So there's a class action lawsuit. Happened to thirty five just a little 314 00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:32.640 over six thousand dollars per minute, six thousand dollars per minute. It is 315 00:25:32.680 --> 00:25:37.839 more eight minutes fifty thousand dollars. Oh yeah for the ticket price. Yeah 316 00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:41.039 yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right about that. I was thinking about 317 00:25:41.039 --> 00:25:42.400 the damages, the damage. I mean eight million dollars. That's a million 318 00:25:42.440 --> 00:25:47.799 dollars a minute, and damages for that one car. So they uh, 319 00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:52.839 thirty five thousand people have filed the class action lawsuit to get their money back, 320 00:25:53.559 --> 00:25:56.839 and I guess it ended up there ended up being a race with no 321 00:25:57.000 --> 00:26:04.039 audience because they had to just do it when they're all gone and it's a 322 00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:08.119 mess over there. They were calling it the biggest sports spectacle ever staged, 323 00:26:10.039 --> 00:26:15.240 and it is popular. The only problem is this the hotel. What it 324 00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:21.119 does to the to the hotel prices over there makes it unaffordable for anyone to 325 00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:25.839 go. But the super elite, and I know that Formula one racing is 326 00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:29.279 you know, for the super elite anyway, but there are you know, 327 00:26:29.359 --> 00:26:33.240 there's regular people that really like it and they want to go, and you 328 00:26:33.240 --> 00:26:34.640 know, and they might even be able to afford a ticket a few hundred 329 00:26:34.680 --> 00:26:40.240 dollars. But then the hotel rooms are like when I checked, it's like 330 00:26:40.359 --> 00:26:44.839 a place I usually stayed. So it's over one thousand dollars a night, 331 00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:49.400 and you're not even on the track trying to get on the track. Well, 332 00:26:49.799 --> 00:26:56.279 anyway, it's I hear they're going to keep going. But this was 333 00:26:56.119 --> 00:27:02.759 very rough, a very rough start to the Formula one thing. And lawsuits, 334 00:27:02.799 --> 00:27:11.839 Now, will people win these lawsuits? They might because these people were 335 00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:15.799 arguably harmed. You pay fifty thousand dollars, you only get eight minutes. 336 00:27:15.559 --> 00:27:21.440 You're looking for somebody to pay for that. And perhaps on the other side 337 00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:27.039 of the ticket it said sometimes cars crash and the races are delayed. Will 338 00:27:27.079 --> 00:27:30.960 that language hold up? And I'm sure the Formula one people are going to 339 00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:40.400 be saying, hey, there, we had all kinds of waivers or clarifications 340 00:27:40.519 --> 00:27:48.640 or I'm struggling with my English right now. But they told people I'm sure 341 00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:52.160 anything can happen, and we're not responsible if there's crashes and stuff like that. 342 00:27:52.240 --> 00:27:59.279 But maybe there'll be a settlement, maybe the court will say I got 343 00:27:59.279 --> 00:28:03.119 to do something for these people. But Sam, how sorry do you feel 344 00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:08.799 for somebody who paid fifty thousand dollars for a ticket throwing that kind of not 345 00:28:08.839 --> 00:28:12.759 one bit? No, I'm not sorry at all that they can if they 346 00:28:12.759 --> 00:28:17.119 can drop fifty k on a ticket, they can go ahead and try to 347 00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:19.119 double it up and make a fifty thousand dollars bet at a table and see 348 00:28:19.119 --> 00:28:22.079 if they can go ahead and win it back. I'm not gonna get I 349 00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:26.240 mean, really, fifty thousand dollars for a ticket. Yeah, you know, 350 00:28:26.079 --> 00:28:29.680 buy the ticket t D. Yeah, here's what I'm saying. Watch 351 00:28:29.680 --> 00:28:33.039 it on ESPN. It was on regular ESPN. Take that fifty thousand dollars, 352 00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:37.759 donate it to the poor, and go to heaven. That's a better 353 00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:45.880 deal. Let us take the break and come back with more of Joe Scolante 354 00:28:45.960 --> 00:29:12.480 Live from Hollywood. Joe Alone, here's my lawyer, Joe Escalante live from 355 00:29:12.519 --> 00:29:19.480 Hollywood. By Hollywood, you mean Burbank. Let's move to the celebrities behaving 356 00:29:19.519 --> 00:29:22.799 badly, Sam Shalley, all Right, best time of the best time of 357 00:29:22.839 --> 00:29:27.960 the show for me. Yeah, I mean this one is like, this 358 00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:33.160 one's terrible. Did you hear about the lawsuit against Sean Puff Daddy Combs, 359 00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:37.400 otherwise known as Diddy? No? What did he? What did did he 360 00:29:37.480 --> 00:29:42.480 do? Well? There's a woman named Cassandra Ventura. She's an actress and 361 00:29:42.519 --> 00:29:48.359 a singer, and she signed to P Diddy's label two thousand and five, 362 00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:57.480 and the lawsuit alleged that Diddy brought the singer into his ostentatious, fast paced 363 00:29:57.559 --> 00:30:02.799 and drug fueled lifestyle soon after she met him and signed to his label in 364 00:30:02.839 --> 00:30:06.880 two thousand and five. She was nineteen and he was thirty seven. Think 365 00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:11.000 about that, Sam, nineteen and thirty seven. That's a little inappropriate for 366 00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:18.759 people to be getting intimate. Ventura is now thirty seven and Combs is now 367 00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:26.079 fifty four. But they began, she says, they had a pattern of 368 00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:30.680 abuse and they're on and off relationship, which began in two thousand and seven. 369 00:30:32.079 --> 00:30:40.319 The lawsuit alleged that he was prone to uncontrollable urge savage beatings in which 370 00:30:40.319 --> 00:30:45.839 he punched, kicked, and stomped her. Yeah, the allegens applied her 371 00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:49.680 with drugs and forced her to have sex with other men while he pleasured himself 372 00:30:49.759 --> 00:30:56.000 and filmed them. According to the lawsuit, Ventura was trying to end the 373 00:30:56.039 --> 00:31:00.640 relationship in twenty eighteen because she did not like being punched, kicked, stomped, 374 00:31:00.279 --> 00:31:03.599 and applied with drugs and forced to have sex with other men while he 375 00:31:04.519 --> 00:31:11.559 pleasured himself and filmed them. And then Combs forced her into her Los Angeles 376 00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:15.279 home at that time when she tried to get away from him and break it 377 00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:23.880 off. She then he raped her. This is according to her state. 378 00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:34.799 So she files a lawsuit against him. She just couldn't take it, okay, 379 00:31:34.920 --> 00:31:38.079 Well, see, I mean I think she already broke off with him, 380 00:31:38.079 --> 00:31:41.200 but then she at some point, you know, with the Me Too 381 00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:48.960 movement, she felt empowered to come to go public with this. Now. 382 00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:53.519 I don't know if you know anything about p Diddy, but he's you know, 383 00:31:53.559 --> 00:32:00.000 one of the most influential hip hop guys. Him and Russell Simmons. 384 00:32:00.079 --> 00:32:06.319 This also happened to the founder of bad Boy Records and a three time Grammy 385 00:32:06.319 --> 00:32:08.279 winner. He's worked with a slew of top tier artists. I don't know 386 00:32:08.279 --> 00:32:13.440 if you know this, Sam, the Notorious b I G Yes, Mary 387 00:32:13.519 --> 00:32:19.160 J, Mary J. Blige, Usher, Lil Kim, Faith Evans, 388 00:32:19.680 --> 00:32:25.039 and crazy Town. I made up the crazy Town part. Okay Yeah. 389 00:32:25.079 --> 00:32:30.119 This year he released his fifth studio album, the Love Album Off the Grid, 390 00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:32.359 first studio album in seventeen years. This has got to put a damper 391 00:32:32.400 --> 00:32:38.839 on that. So in last September, he was presented a key to the 392 00:32:38.880 --> 00:32:45.160 City for New York by embattled Mayor Eric Adams. And he was born in 393 00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:51.519 New York City and Ventura. She gained fame with a hit single called Me 394 00:32:51.559 --> 00:32:53.440 and You, which was number one of the Bolt Billboard Hot R and B 395 00:32:54.119 --> 00:32:58.400 in two thousand and six. Only if you remember that jam. But it 396 00:32:58.440 --> 00:33:00.559 was their only studio album. But then as actor, she was on Fox's 397 00:33:00.680 --> 00:33:12.799 Empire. So the lawyers for PDDY, they are saying that this woman had 398 00:33:12.839 --> 00:33:16.519 for the past six months persistently demanded thirty million dollars while threatening to write a 399 00:33:16.599 --> 00:33:22.480 damaging book about her relationship with Combs. And the lawyer said the demands were 400 00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:35.039 rejected as blatant blackmail. So he but then some people say he offered eight 401 00:33:35.079 --> 00:33:37.799 figures to silence her. What's eight figures is that like, six figures is 402 00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:45.119 one hundred thousand, seven figures is is a million, and then eight figures 403 00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:50.279 will be ten million at least. Well, Sam, what do you think 404 00:33:50.279 --> 00:33:54.440 of this case? I can't have any opinion. I don't know enough of 405 00:33:54.480 --> 00:33:59.359 the details. It sounds like, you know, it's a case from what 406 00:34:00.200 --> 00:34:04.440 years ago? Yeah, twenty three? I mean these are always rough two 407 00:34:04.480 --> 00:34:07.519 thousand and seven. Yeah, So it's it's hard to be able to say, 408 00:34:07.559 --> 00:34:12.480 but I I know, obviously sympathies are always going to go with the 409 00:34:12.559 --> 00:34:15.519 victim in this situation, but I'd like to hear more before, you know, 410 00:34:16.119 --> 00:34:22.800 making judgments one way or the other. I felt the same until I 411 00:34:22.840 --> 00:34:29.119 now have discovered the new the latest news, the latest news, ish p 412 00:34:29.320 --> 00:34:32.119 Deeddy has settled with her and written her a check to make her go a 413 00:34:32.159 --> 00:34:37.280 way. So well then, I mean, would you know? Yeah, 414 00:34:37.320 --> 00:34:42.199 it's like, well, to me, it's like, if you are not 415 00:34:42.320 --> 00:34:46.360 guilty, you're outraged by this and you're going to fight it. Yeah, 416 00:34:46.440 --> 00:34:51.280 and you're and you're gonna and you're gonna clear your name and you're gonna get 417 00:34:51.280 --> 00:34:53.000 out there because the bad news is already out there. They couldn't get any 418 00:34:53.000 --> 00:34:55.679 worse. So you're going to go and even though your name is going to 419 00:34:55.719 --> 00:34:58.960 be in the papers and they're going to go through your history, but you 420 00:34:59.000 --> 00:35:01.119 are going to make sure everybody he knows this is a lie and they're not 421 00:35:01.159 --> 00:35:04.440 allowed to bring other things in, you know, show a pattern. Usually 422 00:35:04.480 --> 00:35:06.880 you can, if you have good lawyers, you can. You can you 423 00:35:06.920 --> 00:35:14.000 can keep it to this specific these specific charges with this one woman. I 424 00:35:14.000 --> 00:35:15.320 mean, sometimes you can do that. Sometimes you can't. So there's an 425 00:35:15.400 --> 00:35:19.360 argument, maybe, well I don't want them to I don't want them to 426 00:35:19.360 --> 00:35:22.519 find out find you know, other women that have made up this phony story. 427 00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:27.239 So I'm going to settle with her. But I think the smart money 428 00:35:27.360 --> 00:35:30.360 is that enough of this is true to where he did. He's paying her 429 00:35:30.360 --> 00:35:34.719 to stop. And probably in that settlement is you cannot write that book. 430 00:35:35.480 --> 00:35:38.920 This is enough money for you not to write that book. But uh, 431 00:35:40.079 --> 00:35:45.679 yeah, anytime you see somebody settling that quickly without putting up a fight, 432 00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:51.400 typically I'd be like, yeah, you did it, Yeah, that quickly. 433 00:35:51.800 --> 00:35:55.519 That's the point that quickly he didn't like, uh you know, there 434 00:35:55.559 --> 00:36:00.079 wasn't a long negotiation and try to get her down to a reasonable thing, 435 00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:05.039 get her to calm down and then file some legal motions to let her know 436 00:36:05.119 --> 00:36:08.039 that you might win. It's just like I am going to lose. So 437 00:36:08.039 --> 00:36:12.079 I'm going to write you a check right now. Yeah, I'm going to 438 00:36:12.119 --> 00:36:15.639 make this all disappear right now. Enjoy your thirty million dollars. Yes, 439 00:36:16.039 --> 00:36:20.800 I think I think thirty million could be could be close to what she gone. 440 00:36:21.719 --> 00:36:24.039 Maybe I guess twenty God I'm throwing out there because you said eight figures, 441 00:36:24.039 --> 00:36:28.880 I'm guessing's she said for that. They did say she asked for thirty 442 00:36:28.880 --> 00:36:32.480 million. That was her demand, according to them. Then I'd say that 443 00:36:32.480 --> 00:36:36.519 that's what they settled down. If it happened that quickly, I don't think 444 00:36:36.599 --> 00:36:38.679 that. You know, maybe maybe you can hack five million off of it. 445 00:36:43.239 --> 00:36:49.079 So p Diddy Russell Simmons, I'm trying to think of the hip hop 446 00:36:49.599 --> 00:36:52.360 bad boys that are the real bad boys. But this guy's a bad night. 447 00:36:52.519 --> 00:36:54.440 Sug Knight's the real bad boy of all of them. Sug Knight is 448 00:36:54.440 --> 00:36:58.760 a bad boy. I was always offended by this from hip hop because when 449 00:36:58.760 --> 00:37:00.960 I was early punked in the eighties, the punk bands were not allowed to 450 00:37:00.960 --> 00:37:06.559 play shows. The police said, you know, prevented you know, threatened 451 00:37:06.559 --> 00:37:09.559 promoters if they put on these punk shows. It was a while where we 452 00:37:09.559 --> 00:37:13.519 couldn't play, and it was really but these hip hop shows were going on 453 00:37:13.599 --> 00:37:20.400 and they were nasty and people getting shot. But what are you gonna do? 454 00:37:22.360 --> 00:37:25.119 I went to a lot of these hip hop shows. I like the 455 00:37:25.159 --> 00:37:30.320 music, yeah, but then there were riots, and yeah, I stopped 456 00:37:30.360 --> 00:37:36.280 going. Okay. In the other general news of the entertainment industry, Sam, 457 00:37:36.760 --> 00:37:43.679 of cases we've been following, your friend and yours, ron Jeremy has 458 00:37:43.679 --> 00:37:47.679 been released from prison. Uncle Ronnie is out. Yes, he's been released 459 00:37:47.679 --> 00:37:52.039 to a private residence, less than a year after he was formally declared incompetent 460 00:37:52.079 --> 00:37:58.000 to stand trial on more than thirty counts of sexual assault. If you see 461 00:37:58.000 --> 00:38:00.159 the picture that's floating around of him, wow, does he look bad. 462 00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:06.880 He's suffering from dementia. He's place undered his conservator earlier this year, and 463 00:38:06.960 --> 00:38:08.480 he's been in the men's Central Jail in downtown LA. I don't know if 464 00:38:08.519 --> 00:38:13.760 you've ever been there, Sam, but I understand it's not a nice place. 465 00:38:14.440 --> 00:38:16.320 And he's been waiting for an assignment to a state medical facility. But 466 00:38:16.360 --> 00:38:21.559 on Friday, a judge granted a request to release the seventy year old to 467 00:38:21.679 --> 00:38:27.960 a private residence where he will receive around the clock medical care after it was 468 00:38:27.960 --> 00:38:31.679 determined that no medical facility will take him, according to an email obtained by 469 00:38:32.480 --> 00:38:40.280 the Los Angeles Times, so no place will take him, so someone probably 470 00:38:40.320 --> 00:38:47.480 said I'll take him. So yeah, that is. I think we're about 471 00:38:47.559 --> 00:38:52.440 done with this segment because I believe we're running up against the clock. Am 472 00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:54.239 I wrong? No? And the music is going, so yeah, time 473 00:38:54.280 --> 00:38:58.960 to roll. Yeah, Okay, didn't have time to talk about the washed 474 00:38:59.000 --> 00:39:04.960 up torso found in the ocean, which is believed to be the body of 475 00:39:04.960 --> 00:39:07.199 a famous Irish director, But we'll talk about that next week. And I'll 476 00:39:07.199 --> 00:39:12.079 tell you what I thought of Priscilla and the other movies I see. And 477 00:39:12.400 --> 00:39:15.760 I will now leave you with just the taste of the greatest song ever written. 478 00:39:15.840 --> 00:39:22.079 Make sure you go and buy those Christmas show tickets because the Vandals Christmas 479 00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:22.719 show tickets are on sale right now.
