WEBVTT 1 00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:15.160 Joe Escalante live from Hollywood. If by Hollywood you mean Burbank. This is 2 00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:18.519 two hours of the business end of show business, and we're coming to you 3 00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:23.879 live across the street from a Wiener Schnitzel that serves beer most of the time. 4 00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:30.079 Actually today I'm at the Planet of the Tape studios in Seal Beach High 5 00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:35.280 at top my beachfront home. Sam, are you there? I am here, 6 00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:40.200 and I am across the street from said Wiener Schnitzel. How's it doing. 7 00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:45.640 It's doing well. It's you know, it's Mother's Day, so everybody 8 00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:49.399 needs to go and get their Mother's Day chili dog. It's just tradition. 9 00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:54.880 It's an American tradition. Don't forget the North Korean fusion tacos, which were 10 00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:57.920 just like a special and now they just keep them all year round on the 11 00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:00.960 menu. I'm telling you. It started off at one of those you know 12 00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:04.680 food truck specials, you know, food for the people, and now it's 13 00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:11.159 become a big hit as well. It's the can Film Festival starting this week, 14 00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:14.439 so I expect you won't see as many celebrities in that Wiener Schnitzel as 15 00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:19.120 you usually do. But you know, I don't know, maybe it'll be 16 00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:26.719 less crowded on a On a sadder note, Sam, there's a there was 17 00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:36.640 like a horrible stage diving accident that occurred in Buffalo, New York by from 18 00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:42.120 a band called Trophy Eyes. They were playing out a show this past week. 19 00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:48.439 They're on tour. They're from Australia, and the singer did a stage 20 00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:57.200 dive and he landed on a on a girl and she's partially paralyzed. And 21 00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:02.319 there's a it's got a really bad, a catastrophic spinal cord injury what they're 22 00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:06.680 talking about. And the reason why I'm bringing this up because you know, 23 00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:15.800 there's a couple of reasons. The girl's name is Bird, not Bird. 24 00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:21.080 Piche is her last name, So I guess if you want to yeah, 25 00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:22.960 Bird, Yeah, her name is Bird. This is weird because I met 26 00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:25.599 a girl last night named Bird, So I'm like all confused. So this 27 00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:30.159 is Bird pichet p I c h E. She's got to go fundme maybe 28 00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:34.159 you can help her out. The band is called Trophy Eyes. They're doing 29 00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:39.439 this show at this place called the Mohawk Place in Buffalo. And the guy 30 00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:44.400 you can see it on well, you know what, we have a news 31 00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:49.599 reporter that came to us from Buffalo with the report, let's go to her 32 00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:53.319 right now and just get a whole summary on it. Can you do that? 33 00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:57.719 Saday was doing something she enjoys, listening to music. Last week at 34 00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:01.240 Mohawk Place where Trophy Eyes was performing, the lead singer did a stage dive 35 00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:05.919 into the crowd and the twenty four year old was severely injured. In the 36 00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:09.960 first song, he like stage shove into the crowd and there must just not 37 00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:14.520 have been enough people around her to catch him, or they weren't aware that 38 00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:17.599 he was going to jump, and that was kind of it. From then, 39 00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:21.759 a couple of people on Reddit said they thought she had fainted, so 40 00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:23.719 they went to grab her a cold rag, and then when they came back 41 00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:28.120 they realized she was on the ground and wasn't getting up. The show stopped. 42 00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:30.879 Bird was rushed to ECMC. The lead singer did go with Bird in 43 00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:37.240 the ambulance to the hospital. They did make a fairly large contribution on her 44 00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:40.840 go fundme. Bird, from the Only and Allegheny area, attended Fredonia University 45 00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:46.319 and now lives in Buffalo, where she works for Planned Parenthood. Bird is 46 00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:50.919 an activist and an advocate and an artist at heart. Now it's about healing, 47 00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:55.360 and now she's gona moved to a regular room, and everybody wants to 48 00:03:55.439 --> 00:04:00.159 know what her prognosisness and what will happen. But from my understanding on the 49 00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:04.599 conversation that we've heard so far from doctors is with catastrophic spinal injuries, you 50 00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:10.360 just can't tell, and they take a lot of time and patience to see 51 00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:15.240 what the outcome is really going to be. Thanks Claudine, I always like 52 00:04:15.279 --> 00:04:23.240 it when Claudine gets in the mix and gets out in the field. So 53 00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:29.360 the a couple of reasons why I'm I'm talking about this and at the top 54 00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:31.639 of the shows because this is I mean, primarily this show started out as 55 00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:36.240 a legal advice show and for you for entertainers. So if you're an entertainer, 56 00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:42.519 here's your legal advice that you already know is don't stage dive into your 57 00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:50.680 audience because you could give a fan a catastrophic spinal cord injury. If you 58 00:04:50.720 --> 00:05:00.160 want to give someone a catastrophic spinal cord injury, go to like a like 59 00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:03.560 a protest, like maybe a Hamas protest, and jump on them and hurt 60 00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:08.839 one of their spines unless you like them, then go to an Israeli protest 61 00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:12.319 and jump on them one of your enemies. Don't jump on your fans. 62 00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:15.519 Do you know where? Do you understand where I'm going with this? Him? 63 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:17.920 Yeah, And I just got to ask. I mean, you've been 64 00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:23.240 on stage, You've done several shows of this nature. Have you had any 65 00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:26.879 moments where you decided to throw caution to the wind and dive into the crowd. 66 00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:30.040 No? Well not when I was a professional. When I was a 67 00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:33.079 kid, we would jump on the stage and jump off. But I weighed 68 00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:38.079 about eighty seven pounds. I mean, and you'll weigh eighty seven pounds. 69 00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:42.279 You're not that large of a man. So when I would jump off the 70 00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:47.120 stage, it didn't hurt anybody, even a little scornny, little planned parent, 71 00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:54.720 good employee. I will give her. I'll donate to a GoFundMe to 72 00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:58.040 get her to quit planned parenthood. That's what I will do if anyone wants 73 00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:01.800 to start that up. But the earl was very small and frail, and 74 00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:06.759 the guy was huge. And I actually remember the first time I saw stage 75 00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:11.079 dive, and I think it might have been I'm gonna say that I've said 76 00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:15.199 it before, I think I saw the first stage dive ever at a concert 77 00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:19.600 and it was a guy named Dennis Denelle, who at the time was the 78 00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:26.279 guitar player for Social Distortion. And the show was that Royce Hall in Ucla 79 00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:35.560 and it was the Ramones. It's probably nineteen eighty two, eighty three, 80 00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:42.519 eighty two, I'm gonna say eighty one, maybe eighty two, and you 81 00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:44.959 know, the show's going good. It's a little a bit of a bore 82 00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:47.120 because they's sit down seats at the Royce Hall. You know, before people 83 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:49.879 realize you got to you can only have punk shows at places where there's you 84 00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:56.079 know, no seats. In the seventies, you really had to know what 85 00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:59.959 kind of venue you're going to because there were seats or there was general admission, 86 00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:05.079 and that like a dance floor area was was was rare. It was 87 00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:10.199 seats all the way to the front at most places unless it was a club. 88 00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:15.800 But this is Royce Hall. It's a very elegant hall until the AMAS 89 00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:19.319 protester people spray paint all little spray painted all over it recently, but it's 90 00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:23.560 a very nice place and there moon's a playing They got a little boring and 91 00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:26.480 then Dennis Denelle just I don't know how he got on the stage. I 92 00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:28.040 didn't see him get on the stage, but all of a sudden, I 93 00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:30.279 see him running across the stage and fly off the stage into the audience, 94 00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:35.560 and the security just pounced on him and dragged him out up the aisles. 95 00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:38.959 And I was sitting in one of the seats, you know, halfway up 96 00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:42.519 the aisle, and I looked at him and I went, I know that 97 00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:46.319 guy, awesome job. I just couldn't believe it. And then the next 98 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:48.759 show, because I mean you just if there's a punk show, we knew 99 00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:51.480 about it and so and there weren't that many, but the next show would 100 00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:56.639 probably be maybe that weekend the Whiskey or something like that. And then at 101 00:07:56.639 --> 00:08:00.759 that next show, everybody's jumping off the stage because he saw this guy do 102 00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:01.879 it and it was so awesome, and they knew that. Like five people 103 00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:05.160 jump off the stage, security can't get them all. So that's when you're 104 00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:09.720 a customer and you jump off stage. And if it's very very crowded, 105 00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:15.600 chances are you not going to cause that much damage if you're small, But 106 00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:18.399 if you're a giant, you're gonna hit a little girl and you're gonna hurt 107 00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:24.040 the little girl, So don't do that. But if you're the singer of 108 00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:28.040 the band or anyone in the band, you know, there was a time 109 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:31.800 you could do that and get away with it, and someone would get hurt 110 00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:33.039 and they would go, oh, I'm so bombed. But I'm you know, 111 00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:35.080 I like the band. I don't want to do anything about I want 112 00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:41.519 to assume him. But now in our religious society, Sam, you have 113 00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:43.840 to not only do you have to not jump off the stage, you have 114 00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:48.840 to to survive a lawsuit if someone gets hurt. You have to be on 115 00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:52.720 the microphone telling people not to stage dive. And this is something I used 116 00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:58.039 to always tell the fletcher from Pennywise, because he would encourage people to stage 117 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:05.799 dive. Jump the fens is, jump the rails, disobey security and get 118 00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:11.320 up on here and jump off and cause chaos. But now when someone gets 119 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:16.320 injured and then there's a trial, there's not always a trial, not often, 120 00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:20.919 but if the or you just have a transcript that the lawyers go to 121 00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:24.399 the defendants, you know, the injured person. It's usually their parents. 122 00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:28.720 They're suing the kids, like, don't sue Pennywise. And this is not 123 00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:33.200 taken from an actual case, but I'll just use Pennywise an example, because 124 00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:37.480 I was tell Fletcher, don't don't. He's the guitar player, iconic and 125 00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:41.679 very giant. He would never stage live on people. He knows that. 126 00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:46.320 He's very smart, but he likes chaos. Ooh doesn't. So I as 127 00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:50.360 a lawyer, you know, in the punk scene, I would tell everybody, 128 00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:54.559 hey, here's what you do. You get on that microphone and you 129 00:09:54.600 --> 00:10:00.559 say, hey, guys, whatever you do, don't jump this barricade and 130 00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:05.080 jump up here and then stage dive off the stage. Don't do that. 131 00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:11.279 Whatever you do in a sarcastic tone. Of course, people will do it. 132 00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:18.879 And then when the transcripts come out and the plaintiff lawyer sends that over 133 00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:22.960 to the defendant lawyer and say, hey, we have this transcript. He 134 00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:24.480 was telling people to stage dive. And then you look at it on paper, 135 00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:28.000 you go, no, he's telling people not to stage dive. Well 136 00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:30.440 we know what he meant. Yeah, well, I don't think you have 137 00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:33.240 a very good case, so that's all you gotta do. But of course 138 00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:35.399 it's not good to stage. My wife was once hit in the face by 139 00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:41.720 a very young John Feldman from Goldfinger when he was in a band called Electric 140 00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:48.320 Love Hogs at the Whiskey. No, she's a young Latina in the early 141 00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:54.159 eighties. Not going to sue anybody, but some people do, Sam And 142 00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:58.639 I mean, and then when you go to a jury and you have a 143 00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:01.000 slam you got a bunch of like, you know, seven year old lady 144 00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:07.720 that ends upon a jury and they show her the slam pit, They're just 145 00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:09.600 that jury's like, what are you doing? What is this? Yeah, 146 00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:11.919 we got to take a break on Yeah, let's take a break real quick. 147 00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:13.440 We can get back into this. I have a couple of stories. 148 00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:22.039 Okay. Joe Sclante Live from Hollywood, Joe Scolante Live from Hollywood Business, 149 00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:26.200 End of Show Business, every Sunday from five to seven k e IB eleven 150 00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:31.919 fifty on your AM radio dial. Okay, we've been talking about the bird 151 00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:41.879 Pichet spinal catastrophic spinal cord injury at the Trophy Eyes show at the Mohawk Place 152 00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:48.240 in Buffalo, New York. Now, when I first heard that, it 153 00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:52.159 sounded grim. You know, I'm like, who's going to this? It 154 00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:58.480 was a weak night. Someone's going to a show in Buffalo, New York. 155 00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:01.799 Trophy. Then I heard the bands from Australia. I go, well, 156 00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:07.200 if a punk band is from Australia, they got to be pretty good 157 00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:13.039 to get out to Los Angeles. I mean to Buffalo. To Buffalo, 158 00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:16.720 you know, pretty far away. I mean, I don't know how many 159 00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:18.799 days it takes to fly to Buffalo. But in any case, if they 160 00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:22.240 make it to the United States and they got the work permits and all that 161 00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:26.879 stuff, they're probably pretty good. And of course when you heard the news 162 00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:30.279 story, or if you read the news stories about it, she did like 163 00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:31.960 that. I don't know if I properly set this up. Sam. We're 164 00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:37.039 talking about the girl that got her spinal cord injured at the punk concert, 165 00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:41.159 and she was a fan of the band, so she's not probably not going 166 00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:45.639 to sue that. She was already a fan, and she's an adult, 167 00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:48.759 so it's not like her parents are going to sue. But it's still very 168 00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:50.879 dangerous. It's the worst thing you can do. I've seen it, so 169 00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:54.639 I've seen it in front of me, Sam. I've seen a guy jump 170 00:12:54.639 --> 00:13:00.799 off the stage from like our backstage and land and just just injured. I 171 00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:03.600 heard a guy. I saw a guy injure two girls where they were both 172 00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:07.679 crying and they were both dragged out, And then I went, I went 173 00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:09.840 to the promoter and I go, hey, find out who those girls are 174 00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:15.360 and we'll, you know, pay their medical expenses or whatever. But and 175 00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:20.720 what we were talking about right before the break is imagine a jury and a 176 00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:26.360 plaintiff's attorney trying to tell them how much negligence was involved in the injury, 177 00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:31.960 and they And if you get an average group of people that end up on 178 00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:33.919 a jury and you show them a slam pit at a punk concert, they'd 179 00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:37.399 be horrified. It would be going, why didn't the singer stop the show 180 00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:46.279 right when this swirling stew of slammers started bashing into each other? Sounds like 181 00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:50.840 this looks like an emergency, even though to a punk that's normal. You 182 00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:54.279 want to you want to make sure that slam pit is as furious as possible. 183 00:13:54.879 --> 00:14:01.320 But to a jury, it's just all about negligence. So you got 184 00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:03.879 to be aware of that. And the best thing you could do is minimize 185 00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:07.080 it by telling people not to stage dive. If you see there's there's you 186 00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:11.960 know any Yeah, you're just gonna get sued. You don't want to. 187 00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:16.840 And it cuts about it's only happened us once. We got sued for an 188 00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:22.360 injury at a at a show and it was it was a fight, and 189 00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:26.039 it was a fight during maybe the headlining band's performance, and we were like 190 00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:31.519 second on the bill, and they started suing everybody and we had to file 191 00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:35.440 an answer twenty years ago. It cost us five thousand dollars just to say, 192 00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:37.879 hey, we weren't even playing and then it went away. But it 193 00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:43.559 was five thousand dollars twenty years ago just to do that. So here's the 194 00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:48.320 silver lining on this sale, other than the fact the girl doesn't have to 195 00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:56.399 go back to play a parenthood to work anymore. The band Trophy Eyes. 196 00:14:56.440 --> 00:14:58.480 I looked them up because I'm thinking, if they make it to Australia, 197 00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:01.519 that must be pretty good. The band's a amazing I have a new favorite 198 00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:09.919 band. Truly encourage everybody go to Spotify or YouTube or whatever and and check 199 00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:13.399 out Trophy Eyes. It was a great band. I gotta get the lead 200 00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:16.720 singer credit. He jumped in the ambulance and went with her like he obviously 201 00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:20.399 felt some remorse. He stopped the show and took off with her. That's 202 00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:24.840 that takes. That takes some character right there. Yeah, you could tell. 203 00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:28.000 I mean, the guy, it just felt bad. And what he 204 00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:31.600 did is he like the song started and within like just a few bars of 205 00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:37.120 music, like right after he sang his first you know verse, he he 206 00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:43.399 jumped into the audience and flipped backwards. And it looks like it you can 207 00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:48.519 see this on on YouTube. It looks like he didn't hurt anybody. But 208 00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:52.480 he must have just landed right on the top of her head and you can't 209 00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:56.159 it's hard to see. You can see her in there, her pink hair, 210 00:15:56.840 --> 00:16:00.240 and and it just hit at the exact wrong angle and it you know, 211 00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:04.519 compressed or spine or whatever. And he's probably done it one hundred times 212 00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:10.360 and it's part of the show. People want to see it. But yeah, 213 00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:12.159 our prayers are with Piche and the band because I don't want them to 214 00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:21.240 get sued. But they're playing at the Tarogram Ballroom here in Los Angeles on 215 00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:26.639 May sixteenth, So if you check them out and you like him, you 216 00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:30.440 might want to go to that Tarogram show Teargramd Ballrooms in downtown, and it's 217 00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:36.159 pretty cool place. I played there a couple of times, so it shows 218 00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:37.399 you that they're still I mean, this is For me, it's like there's 219 00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:44.919 still new punk bands Turnstile Neck Deep, Trophy Eyes. They're still churning out 220 00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:48.519 punk bands that are really really good. And this is after I've been told 221 00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:52.840 punk is dead. My first time I was told punk is dead was nineteen 222 00:16:55.240 --> 00:17:04.119 seventy nine where I went over to my idol slash you know, neighbor Steve 223 00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:07.920 Olsen, a punk rock skateboard guy who kind of started the whole Orange County 224 00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:11.960 punk scene, and he said, you wanted me to play drums in his 225 00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:14.200 band? And I went over there to play drums in his punk band, 226 00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:17.400 which was called Butchie in the Hoods, and he told me, no, 227 00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:22.400 that band's over. Punk is dead. This is nineteen seventy nine. This 228 00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:29.279 is a rockabilly band. So I auditioned and I played in the Aristo Cats 229 00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:34.839 with Steve Olsen and Johnny Rockin for we probably about a year. We played 230 00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:37.359 all the clubs in LA, played with the Blasters, played with a bunch 231 00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:42.839 of rockabilly legends, and back then rockabilly wasn't even retro. It was just 232 00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:47.599 a little bit out of style, you know, right, This is before 233 00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:55.400 the Stray Cats stamp. Yeah, yeah, so cool story, bro. 234 00:17:56.519 --> 00:18:00.440 We can put that in the cool story. Bro Bucket, I think I'll 235 00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:07.599 give him credit for having foresight. Yeah, yeah, it was like neonatal 236 00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:15.400 death. Yeah, exactly exactly what it was. And then after after that 237 00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:18.759 band ran its course, they started a New York Dolls, you know, 238 00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:22.359 rip off kind of band, and like they were just like, you know, 239 00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:27.559 a couple decades behind everywhere and or ahead, I don't know. And 240 00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:30.240 then I went and joined the Vandals, which had been a band for a 241 00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:34.240 few months, already playing parties. And then finally I was in a punk 242 00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:37.440 band. And then they told me punk was dead. You know, so 243 00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:42.680 many other times, but here it is twenty twenty four, and if you 244 00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:47.519 want to see some new band like the Turnstile Band and the Garden. Another 245 00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:52.839 good new punk band the No Values concert on June eighth and Pomona. I 246 00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:56.400 think they just released a few more tickets for that, so they said it 247 00:18:56.440 --> 00:19:02.200 was sold out. And that is a show with Social Distortion, Iggy Pop, 248 00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:08.200 Bad Religion, the Vandals, the Misfits, Sublime. I'll be doing 249 00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:15.039 double duty so you can see you saw Iggy Pop in ninety eight in Pitts 250 00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:22.799 Dick in Pittsburgh. Yep, sorry, I don't want to top your story. 251 00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:26.359 But now iggy pop please. I saw iggy Pop for the Stardust Ballroom 252 00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:36.359 in nineteen eighty with the Go Gos and the Weirdos opening. Oh that's really 253 00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:40.839 good. Yeah no, no, no barricade, like just a stage about 254 00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:44.680 two feet off the ground, had no barricade and iggy Pop just crawling all 255 00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:48.480 over us. That's pretty odd and iggy pop. Yeah, so we'll be 256 00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:56.200 playing with iggy pop June eighth, be there or every punk band you've ever 257 00:19:56.200 --> 00:20:02.279 heard of It's in town is playing that thing. I guess we're up against 258 00:20:02.279 --> 00:20:06.079 it again. Let's take another break and come back with more. Joe'scalante Live 259 00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:15.799 from Hollywood.

There was not one bit of Star Wars anything. This how 280 00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:22.720 punk rockers are nothing on the poster and Star Wars notorious trekkies. That's why 281 00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:25.920 I guess so because there was no people dressed up like Star Wars at the 282 00:22:25.960 --> 00:22:29.039 show or anything. There was nothing. No punk rock, chew Bacca, 283 00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:30.759 no nothing like that. No, nothing like that. You know, there 284 00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:33.279 was a couple like usually there's at least a banana at the show. I 285 00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:37.319 think I even made a comment from the stage. There was like a like 286 00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:42.440 a hot dog and there was like some fries and stuff people in these costumes 287 00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:47.519 and there was no Star Wars and no banana. I was like, where's 288 00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:49.000 the banana guy? And who is the banana guy?

They look like you. The banana guy looks like you. 293 00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:06.240 It is okay. Let me go back to the movies because I want to 294 00:23:06.240 --> 00:23:11.079 make some recommendations. Sam Okay. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is 295 00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:15.240 the best Planet of the Ape movie since Battle for the Planet of the Apes, 296 00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:22.240 starring my brother in law Paul Williams as Virgil the Wise Orangutang as part 297 00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:26.680 of the Five original Planet of the Apes and movies, which were, you 298 00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:29.880 know, life changing for me, just life changing. I used to sit 299 00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:37.440 in on my roof with my pretend spaceship and just pray that the Apes would 300 00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:42.759 come and land in my street and take me away. And I wasn't unhappy. 301 00:23:42.839 --> 00:23:47.680 I just but their world looked that good. Then when the new Planet 302 00:23:47.720 --> 00:23:52.119 of the Apes stuff came along, I didn't like it, But this one 303 00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:55.759 I like because also I'm now used to the new apes that look like actual 304 00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:59.480 apes, and I don't pine away for the old apes anymore. This is 305 00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:03.400 a great movie, Sam, Really, it's that good. It was that 306 00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:07.839 good. It's great. It's like maybe I've been my bar is lower now 307 00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:15.240 because I've seen all these the the crap Marvel Marvel movies and the DC movies 308 00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:18.039 that have kind of dipped, and then the Star Wars movies which got worse 309 00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:22.880 and worse and worse, and the Star Trek movies which bored me. Yeah, 310 00:24:23.119 --> 00:24:26.680 and I just and then all of a sudden this one came. I 311 00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:30.720 go, this is a really good movie, and uh, that's my recommendation 312 00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:34.559 for the week. It's directed by a guy named Wes Ball, who is 313 00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:37.640 known for these Maze Runner movies. Have you ever seen one of the maze 314 00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:44.240 running Yeah? Yeah, those are surprisingly good movies. I didn't I did 315 00:24:44.319 --> 00:24:48.440 not expect the first one I thought was fantastic. Well, this is where 316 00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:56.079 he came from and he made he's he's like saving the the Planet of the 317 00:24:56.119 --> 00:25:00.400 Apes franchise, and uh and we thank him. Interesting. I'm I might 318 00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:03.680 have to go and check this out. I appreciate your recommendation. Oh man, 319 00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:07.240 you can't lose with this movie. It's just enjoyable. The plot is 320 00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:14.799 grown up. There's a hot chicken it I've never seen her before. And 321 00:25:14.839 --> 00:25:17.319 the apes are just like, these are talking apes. Okay, this is 322 00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:21.160 not it's not even cgi. These are talking apes. There's no way CGI 323 00:25:21.240 --> 00:25:25.039 could make apes this realistically talk. So we know that there is such a 324 00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:27.000 thing as a bunch of talking apes, because there are a lot of them 325 00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:33.000 are in this movie. All right, now we're going to get to the 326 00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:38.119 sad part of the show. We mourn the death of Roger Corman, a 327 00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:47.039 giant an independent filmmaking who died over the weekend at age nineteen. At age 328 00:25:47.119 --> 00:25:51.359 ninety eight, wow, so he was they called them King of the b 329 00:25:51.559 --> 00:25:56.079 movies. He's a producer, a director, and he was the guy that 330 00:25:56.160 --> 00:26:00.839 gave the career boost to a lot of untested talent in the seventies like Jack 331 00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:07.359 Nicholson first movies, Yeah, Ron Howard Hey, Ron direct this film Grand 332 00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:11.240 Theft Auto that was huge when I was in junior high. Peter Bogdanovich, 333 00:26:12.200 --> 00:26:19.519 Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, Jonathan dem Gail Aandherd, James Cameron, 334 00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:26.519 and a very young Joe Escalante in a nineteen eighty two thriller called Suburbia. 335 00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:32.160 His first appearance on the big screen. Sam really, Yeah, I owe 336 00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:41.720 it all to Roger Corman, dead at ninety eight. I'm still on Screen 337 00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:48.920 Actors Guild, but do I work a lot? I work never, But 338 00:26:49.079 --> 00:26:53.279 I love the credit union that the Screen Actors Skill has, and then every 339 00:26:53.599 --> 00:26:59.240 Awards season I get a bunch of movie screeners. So that's a good reason 340 00:26:59.279 --> 00:27:02.599 to stay on. See, I need to start looking at getting my SAG 341 00:27:02.640 --> 00:27:06.480 after card. I need to start digging in on that stuff. Now. 342 00:27:06.559 --> 00:27:10.880 Well, technically, right now, we're all violating finished non union rule number 343 00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:15.519 one. Right now, we're violating. We are scum. You are scabs. 344 00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:19.279 We are right now, with every breath that we take. But it 345 00:27:19.319 --> 00:27:26.079 wasn't my fault that after merged with SAG after his the American Federation of Television 346 00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:30.279 Radio Artists or something like that, and they merged at one point with the 347 00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:33.759 screen actors skilled. So now you know, now we're scaps, I guess. 348 00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:37.000 But anyway, back to Roger Corman. Yeah, he made the nineteen 349 00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:41.240 sixty version of a Little Shop of Horrors. And these are like ed Edgar 350 00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:45.759 Allen Poe adaptation starring Vincent Price. They were a big deal when I was 351 00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:48.279 a kid, a lot of biker movies like Wild Angels in nineteen sixty six, 352 00:27:48.839 --> 00:27:53.799 The Trip with Peter Fonda as a man on an LSD inspired odyssey, 353 00:27:56.240 --> 00:28:04.000 and this was one of the first films that people thought, you know, 354 00:28:04.119 --> 00:28:07.880 any publicity is good publicity, because people are saying these movies are terrible and 355 00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:11.920 they're offensive and we've got to run this guy out of town. But they 356 00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:17.920 would get a lot of publicity, like Bloody Mama from nineteen seventy. People 357 00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:22.319 say this thing is awful, but it has Shelley Winners, Robert de Niro 358 00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:25.720 and Bruce Dern And when I saw it as a seven year old in the 359 00:28:25.759 --> 00:28:33.039 Fox Theater in Rossmore. I was thrilled by it. So anyway, you 360 00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:36.720 can't go wrong by just looking up any Roger Corman film. You do a 361 00:28:36.759 --> 00:28:40.400 little research. See the good ones. The one that I'm in called Suburbia. 362 00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:45.079 It's pretty good. It's slow and cringey at times. The actors are 363 00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:49.960 all punk rock kids, but it's iconic. It was on the Criterion Network. 364 00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:56.240 I mean it's part of the Criterion collection, so it's important. And 365 00:28:56.400 --> 00:29:00.640 there's some books about Roger Corman you could get anyway. I'm really proud to 366 00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:03.119 be in a Roger Corman film. And and the guy went to Beverly Hills 367 00:29:03.160 --> 00:29:07.799 High School, Stanford. He had a great la life and we will miss 368 00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:11.000 him. I will now take a break and we'll come back with more. 369 00:29:11.079 --> 00:29:36.559 Joe A. Scolante Live from Hollywood. Yeah, Joe Aslante, here's my 370 00:29:36.680 --> 00:29:41.839 lawyer. You don't want money? He does it all. Joe A. 371 00:29:41.880 --> 00:29:48.799 Sclante Live from Hollywood. By Hollywood, you mean by bank. Hey. 372 00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:52.920 We talk a little bit about AI here in the legal aspects and like AR 373 00:29:53.000 --> 00:30:00.039 deficial intelligence, creating people's voices and fooling people, and legality of it, 374 00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:07.039 or the tragedy where people say oh everything AI this AI that this is bad, 375 00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:10.400 this is negative. It's going to ruin everything, it's going to take 376 00:30:10.440 --> 00:30:15.920 over our lives, all this stuff. I have never been on that bandwagon. 377 00:30:15.039 --> 00:30:22.240 I've just thought, Okay, hey, it's a cool technology, and 378 00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:26.559 let's see what we can do with it. I've done a few things with 379 00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:30.599 it in my movies or you know, just people like I know a guy 380 00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:36.599 who's vice president of a major, major corporation and he every one of his 381 00:30:36.640 --> 00:30:41.640 memos for the past several years he's been doing with chat GPT and people are 382 00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:45.480 like, man, Rob, you are you are kicking ass? You are 383 00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:48.000 kicking ass over there in your office. And he's like, just you know, 384 00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:52.799 I don't write these things, all these glowing you know, even Instagram 385 00:30:52.839 --> 00:30:56.720 messages and congratulating employees and stuff like that, and he's just pushing a button. 386 00:30:56.880 --> 00:31:02.880 Anyway, Yeah, how can it be used for good? Well, 387 00:31:02.920 --> 00:31:07.279 there's a great example now with the new Randy Travis song. Randy Travis, 388 00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:11.240 as you know, he suffered a stroke. I think it was in twenty 389 00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:18.720 thirteen, could be wrong on that, but anyway, he had a stroke, 390 00:31:18.799 --> 00:31:23.799 couldn't sing, couldn't walk, So yeah, twenty thirteen stroke but he's 391 00:31:23.839 --> 00:31:27.400 one of the greatest country artists of all time, digging up Bones, one 392 00:31:27.400 --> 00:31:30.559 of the best country music songs of all time. And then he all of 393 00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:33.119 a sudden he has a stroke. He can't do anything now with AI. 394 00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:37.440 They just take his voice. Got a new song and I think we can 395 00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:38.640 play a little bit of it, Sam, could you play a little bit 396 00:31:38.640 --> 00:31:47.119 of it? Yeah, here we go. I'm kay. Randy Travis new 397 00:31:47.160 --> 00:31:57.680 single it's called Where That Came From? Sounds very Randy Travis esque, so 398 00:31:57.799 --> 00:32:10.079 far shared eyes like diamond. They called the Life all the Day, We're 399 00:32:12.359 --> 00:32:20.759 king deeper then the n Okay, I mean that. I think that's that's 400 00:32:21.079 --> 00:32:22.640 I just want to play a little bit of it. But if you go 401 00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:29.480 to YouTube and look at the Randy Travis song called uh Where That Came From? 402 00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:35.680 You will lose it. It's you see him in the wheelchair. You 403 00:32:35.720 --> 00:32:39.119 see his surrounded by his loved ones and producers and studios and they're kind of 404 00:32:39.160 --> 00:32:44.240 listening, you know, to the final product or whatever, and you'll lose 405 00:32:44.279 --> 00:32:49.680 it. It's very emotional. So there there it is. There's your everyone 406 00:32:49.680 --> 00:32:57.519 who's freaked out about AI. If if that's all we get out of it, 407 00:32:57.720 --> 00:33:00.480 and then it destroys the world tomorrow. I'm gonna say it was worth 408 00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:06.240 it and the sam I know you'll agree with me, oh absolutely. Between 409 00:33:06.279 --> 00:33:10.680 that and the amount of help I got through my doctoral program using AI not 410 00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:15.759 to quote and you write memos off of, but to get a better understanding 411 00:33:15.960 --> 00:33:21.880 of what I was reading and writing about was definitely helpful. But I also 412 00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:28.680 recognize what's on the horizon or what Snoop Dogg was reading to you exactly. 413 00:33:28.839 --> 00:33:32.119 That's what I'm saying. I had Snoop Dogg reading me my lessons. This 414 00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:37.319 was absolutely fantastic. What's the what's the name of that program? It was 415 00:33:37.359 --> 00:33:43.519 Speechify, it was yeah, no, it just you you pop in a 416 00:33:43.559 --> 00:33:46.640 PDF or you type in a document and it has a bunch of pre programmed 417 00:33:46.720 --> 00:33:51.960 voices that like they have mister Beast as one of them. They have a 418 00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:57.119 bunch of different people who are really famous people. Gwyneth Paltrow is a voice. 419 00:33:57.200 --> 00:34:00.799 I believe They've got a lot of really famous people who voices on this 420 00:34:00.880 --> 00:34:05.680 thing. And it's it's it makes it so much more engrossing when you have 421 00:34:05.759 --> 00:34:09.480 when you get to hear Snoop give you your lesson. If Snoop Dogg was 422 00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:12.920 reading me my lessons. I wouldn't believe him because he didn't go to college, 423 00:34:12.920 --> 00:34:19.679 but I'm glad it worked for you. Let's go to streaming a couple 424 00:34:19.639 --> 00:34:22.639 of movies. I've been watching a lot of true crime things on streaming. 425 00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:25.400 What Jennifer Did is one I watched. It was pretty good, but an 426 00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:30.320 Asian girl that just got a little too greedy and did some really bad stuff. 427 00:34:31.440 --> 00:34:36.400 And then you don't see a lot of Asian girls committed major crimes that 428 00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:40.880 way. It was like fascinating, okay, but number one in the streaming 429 00:34:40.920 --> 00:34:45.119 world. It's number one on my list and number one on the Netflix list, 430 00:34:45.119 --> 00:34:47.400 too. Unfrosted. Have you heard of this movie? Sam? No? 431 00:34:47.840 --> 00:34:52.719 No, what's this? It is a movie about the war between Kellogg's 432 00:34:52.719 --> 00:34:59.400 Cereal and post Cereal in like the nineteen sixties, starring every comedian you've ever 433 00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:04.679 heard of, Jim the Stars, Jerry Seinfeld okay in the starring role, 434 00:35:05.719 --> 00:35:13.280 and then Jim Gaffigan, Uh, Thomas Lennon, H McCarty, woman whatever 435 00:35:13.280 --> 00:35:16.239 her name is, big girl, Jennifer McCartney. She's great, Yeah, 436 00:35:17.519 --> 00:35:22.119 but anyway, she's great. Everybody's great in it. You're sitting there and 437 00:35:22.360 --> 00:35:24.280 when my wife played a game. My wife and I played a game who 438 00:35:24.559 --> 00:35:29.119 was what comedian are we going to see next? And then I go Bill 439 00:35:29.159 --> 00:35:30.920 Burr, Bill Burr's got to be in this. And then like five minutes 440 00:35:31.000 --> 00:35:35.639 later, Bill Burr comes out playing John F. Kennedy and uh, he 441 00:35:35.760 --> 00:35:39.320 was great in it with a wig. I think I'll see the trailers on 442 00:35:39.400 --> 00:35:45.119 this, and it's the pop It's about pop tarts, isn't it. It's 443 00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:50.280 about the It's about the creation of the pop tart and the war between Post 444 00:35:50.800 --> 00:35:55.400 and Kellogg to get this pop tart, uh, you know, breakfast treat 445 00:35:55.639 --> 00:35:59.079 out. And I was alerted to it because my wife and I went to 446 00:35:59.079 --> 00:36:04.320 see Seinfeld at the Hollywood Bowl last week and he kept talking about this not 447 00:36:04.360 --> 00:36:06.639 a lot but unfrosted and you saw this. I didn't know what it was. 448 00:36:06.719 --> 00:36:07.960 And then I saw it on Netflix. You're gonna want to watch it 449 00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:10.599 over and over and over again because there's so much going on, so many 450 00:36:10.719 --> 00:36:16.639 jokes, so many great people in it. And this is the joy of 451 00:36:16.679 --> 00:36:22.800 Netflix giving someone like Seinfeld a ton of money, unlimited budget, and the 452 00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:27.440 stupidest idea for a movie ever in the history of the world and just go 453 00:36:27.480 --> 00:36:30.960 ahead and do it and we trust you and it turned out great. So 454 00:36:30.119 --> 00:36:37.719 definitely watch Unfrosted on Netflix. Yeah, that idea didn't quite hit as often 455 00:36:37.760 --> 00:36:43.480 as you would like when they did that with Adam Sandler. Hey, I 456 00:36:43.559 --> 00:36:45.880 like the Adam Sandler Halloween movies. Some of them were good. Some of 457 00:36:45.920 --> 00:36:50.719 them were good, but then you had that like weird western that they tried 458 00:36:50.760 --> 00:36:53.119 to put out and that it was I didn't see that. Maybe I'm glad, 459 00:36:53.280 --> 00:36:58.280 Yeah it was. It wasn't pretty, but it was okay. I 460 00:36:58.280 --> 00:37:01.679 can appreciate that they're putting money behind actual talent to see what they can whip 461 00:37:01.760 --> 00:37:06.079 up because they are going to come up with something good every once in a 462 00:37:06.079 --> 00:37:08.760 while. And it looks like this one was ahead. And you know, 463 00:37:09.960 --> 00:37:15.159 streaming wars are pretty much over. Netflix is the winner. The other ones 464 00:37:15.159 --> 00:37:17.639 are you know, some are gonna drop off. Some well consolidate, very 465 00:37:17.840 --> 00:37:23.199 very good stuff on Apple TV Plus, but nobody cares and nobody watches it. 466 00:37:23.920 --> 00:37:31.199 So Netflix everybody watches and there's a lot of good stuff. I mean 467 00:37:31.199 --> 00:37:34.679 it goes up and down sometimes. For a while there, I could tell 468 00:37:34.679 --> 00:37:37.760 they were saving money and they were just kind of like flood me with foreign 469 00:37:37.280 --> 00:37:40.079 shows, like here's an amazing movie you should watch, and I go, 470 00:37:40.159 --> 00:37:45.719 that's an Indian movie. Here's an amazing movie. That's that's that's Canadian. 471 00:37:49.159 --> 00:37:53.159 I'm not watching that, but but now it looks like I think they're on 472 00:37:53.199 --> 00:38:00.000 an uptick and oh so unfrosted. This week is CAM Film Festivals, as 473 00:38:00.039 --> 00:38:04.440 I said, and what's going on in cam Film Festival. We'll probably talk 474 00:38:04.440 --> 00:38:07.000 about this next week because we're kind of running out of time here, but 475 00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:14.280 there's supposed to be an explosive secret list of me Too villains going to be 476 00:38:14.320 --> 00:38:20.679 released this week at the can Film Festival in France, and so watch out 477 00:38:20.719 --> 00:38:23.880 for that because you know, you know, that's just like you know what 478 00:38:23.920 --> 00:38:31.239 I guess, like a sweater unraveling, an onion unpeeling, and it always 479 00:38:31.239 --> 00:38:37.400 never ends well. So we'll cover that next week. And now I will 480 00:38:37.440 --> 00:38:42.119 just leave you with just a taste of the greatest song ever written.
