WEBVTT

1
00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:34.479
If by Hollywood do you mean Burdbank. I'm on the right microphone. Now

2
00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:37.960
there we go. Yeah, yeah, we are across the street from Wiener

3
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:45.280
stencil that sells beer to anybody.
Two hours of the business, end of

4
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:50.799
show business, and we will talk
about the movies, we'll talk about television,

5
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:57.479
and sometimes we get into sports.
Today. I'm not so sure,

6
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:02.200
although I just got back from Japan. Sam and Otani fever over there.

7
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:06.239
Oh yeah, apparently it's Otani fever
here. Now he's got his I guess

8
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:10.480
translator in some trouble. We just
heard a news update about that. That

9
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:12.840
is that is the Houston Astros written
all over it. Yeah, well,

10
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:18.319
you know you can't beat him on
the playing field. This is their taking

11
00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:25.480
a page from the political playlist.
Apparently people don't take too kindly to others

12
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:29.159
betting on sports when you're inside of
a sport itself. Well, also,

13
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:34.599
if you're if you're a translator,
there's no easier way to pull the wool

14
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:40.640
over someone's eyes. You're the only
person they can tell them what's going on

15
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:46.840
in their life. Just like,
uh, he said, you should put

16
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:51.920
money in this account, and that's
good for you. That's the way they

17
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:53.920
do it here in America. I
mean, I'm not up on it,

18
00:01:55.000 --> 00:02:00.719
but I'm just blaming the Houston Astros
because Otani's a phenomenon. People are scared

19
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:06.079
of him, and if you have
otanid arrangement syndrome, you will do anything

20
00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:10.360
and you'll think you're doing the Lord's
work to bring him down, because it's

21
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:16.240
not fair how amazing he is.
He is quite good. So in Japan

22
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:27.240
he is just all over the place. He is selling everything, and he's

23
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:32.919
on every billboard and he doesn't even
play in their country other than whatever off

24
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:38.199
season things he does. So they
love him. They you know, are

25
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:44.199
all paying attention. And when they
played the Houston the San Diego Padres last

26
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:50.960
week, you would think it was
the World Series. It was just you

27
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:53.199
know, you know those giant electronic
billboards because you just went to Japan as

28
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:57.080
well. Yeah, yeah, I
was just there last year. It loved

29
00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:00.759
it out there, and I am
excited and eager to go back, but

30
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:06.319
I went prior to Otani fever,
and so now I would love to go

31
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:10.080
and see just how much the culture
is embracing all of the media that's happening

32
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:14.400
out here, even for a player
that's not out there, and it's not

33
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:17.120
the first time that we've seen greatness
come out of Japan as far as baseball

34
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:21.759
goes. So this is something that
I get the feeling. If there's money

35
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:24.800
to be made, they're going to
take, just like it is out here.

36
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:28.960
If there's money to be made around
somebody, they're going to do everything

37
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:30.400
they can to milk as much as
they can out of it. Well,

38
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:35.919
the great sadaharu Oh was so great
he ended up in a Beastie Boys lyric.

39
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:40.039
True, So that's the highest honor. Home run king, the highest,

40
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:45.360
Yeah, the home run King.
So should we talk about the box

41
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:49.639
office? We can. My parking
lot is full this week man. Oh,

42
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:53.680
yeah, you live on top of
the what is it an AMC theater?

43
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:58.360
Yeah, I live above an AMC
theater and it is. You can

44
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:00.919
tell when it's a big movie weekend
just based off of how parking is and

45
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:03.960
how getting in and out of the
parking lot is. It took me ten

46
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:08.240
minutes just to get out of the
parking lot. That usually takes me about

47
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:12.280
like seventy five seconds up most.
Oh, that's rough. They changed the

48
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:17.879
intersection lights on the corner of pch
and Seal Beach Boulevard. So now it's

49
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:21.959
like for me, it's like catching
a train. If you miss the train,

50
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:25.839
you have to wait for the next
train. Yeah, and you're gonna

51
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:30.120
be late. So this morning I
missed the train and then the rain came

52
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:32.160
on the way here, and then
I don't know what it was. It

53
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:38.319
was just Sunday traffic. I was
lost, but I'm here. Let's take

54
00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:43.720
the box office first. Usually I
try to bury this in between later in

55
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:46.160
the show. I don't know if
you've noticed that, Sam, but we're

56
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:50.720
going to go start with it right
now. And the Ghostbuster's Frozen Empire is

57
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:58.079
number one. And now that is
when the Ghostbusters call on the help of

58
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:04.759
Elsa and her sister to combat some
specters and spooks and ghosts in New York

59
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:09.160
City. That's some good crossover action. Yeah, she comes all the way

60
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:13.360
from Norway. Yeah did she bring
the moose? She brings a moose and

61
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:18.879
that adorable Oslo, the the snowman. Snowman. Oh yeah, yeah,

62
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:23.120
yeah. Is that's name as I
have no idea, I can't remember.

63
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:27.040
Is that just the capital of Norway? It is the capital of Norway,

64
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:30.319
but it's it might be the name
of a moose. Or something. Have

65
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:34.839
you been to Oslo? I have
not. It's pretty I've always wanted to

66
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:40.839
go to the Scandinavian region just to
see how it is. But I'm not

67
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:44.959
a fan of that much of the
cold cold. Well, Japan was cold,

68
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:47.800
I'm sure it was. It's around
that time of year. If you've

69
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:50.120
heard of Japan, I was not
gonna get back to Japan for a little

70
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:54.199
bit. If you've heard of Japan, you probably heard the number one thing

71
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:57.279
people ask, well, that's very
expensive. Expensive. No, no,

72
00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:00.240
no, no, you know,
and I know what. Imagine a world

73
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:06.560
where you have Japan and Tokyo and
all that exotic excitement, but the prices

74
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:10.879
are more like Tijuana. Yeah,
and that's what Japan is right now.

75
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:15.839
Yeah, it's amazing. We went
there and definitely got our money's worth.

76
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:19.279
It was what sixty eight dollars for
a ticket to Disney and Tokyo, So

77
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:25.879
can you imagine sixty eight dollars?
It's Disney fantastic. It was amazing.

78
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:28.439
And the hotel you can stay right
on the property for like one hundred and

79
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:31.000
twenty bucks exactly. We stayed at
one of the resorts for the entire time

80
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:34.600
that we were there, and that
when you told me that I thought you

81
00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:38.279
were embezzling money from the show,
and I had you checked out and I

82
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:42.000
apologize. That's okay, that's okay. I appreciate you looking in. That's

83
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:46.160
what a it's what a good boss
should do, is to make sure that

84
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:48.800
embezzlement doesn't happening. However, I
got my money's worth out there. I

85
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:55.399
ate wonderfully and it was and the
kids had it. I brought children with

86
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:59.560
me, brought chill dread. Yeah, that's why I felt I go.

87
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:03.160
This guy's skimming, Yeah, there
was. I think my last meal was

88
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:09.399
in Osaka. At it's just like
on the main drag there in a sushi

89
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:13.800
place with the conveyor belt sushi where
evidently invented in Osaka, the conveyor belt

90
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:19.279
sushi. And I was just eating
amazing toro and uh the tuna. They

91
00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:23.079
call it a pickled tuna, but
it's not pickled. It just tastes.

92
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:27.240
It's amazing, the best of fish
I've ever had. Some of these sashimi

93
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:33.399
pieces were sixty six cents each,
oh baby, and uh they so it's

94
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:36.240
probably I just we just you know, we just kept ordering ordering it like

95
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:40.319
like pigs. You know, because
we're walking all over the place, We're

96
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:44.319
walking up all this food. We're
walking it off order like pigs wouldn't stop.

97
00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:48.480
My bill was twenty nine dollars my
wife and me. That is phenomenal.

98
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:53.600
Twenty nine dollars. You know when
you just when you're watching your sushi

99
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:55.920
budget at a sushi restaurant and you're
like, oh, I want to get

100
00:07:55.959 --> 00:08:00.480
crazy here. That's seventy two minimum. Yeah, seventy two. Twenty nine

101
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:05.720
are the socks I'm wearing right now. It's just some Osaka socks. Ohsaksa

102
00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:11.079
very nice lesson a dollar. Oh
wow, serious, it's crazy there.

103
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:13.759
It used to be. It used
to be insane. It used to be

104
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:18.240
just like unaffordable. So go to
Japan, have a great time. I

105
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:22.519
went to the sumo wrestling tournament.
I've always wanted to go. I've been

106
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:26.120
to Japan like twelve, thirteen,
fourteen times. I've never been because it's

107
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:28.600
very hard. Yeah, there's no
information about it in English anywhere. They

108
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:33.120
don't really want any any tourists going. Yeah, it's very sacred to them

109
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:35.480
and they just don't need they don't
need that, Yeah, so they don't

110
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:39.600
publicize it. I went to a
sold out tournament. It's all day long.

111
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:43.559
It went for days. I just
went for one day and it was

112
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:46.799
just so great to sit there and
watch, even though it's kind of the

113
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:52.559
same thing over and over and they
look the same and it's hard to distinguish

114
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:54.679
one thing from you can't look away. You got to keep here comes another

115
00:08:54.720 --> 00:09:00.080
one. Each match only lasts,
but you know, ten to seconds to

116
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:03.039
a minute, and then you just
keep waiting for the other, waiting for

117
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:05.519
the other rituals. Before it is
going on, they're throwing salt in the

118
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:09.919
in the ring to ward off the
evil spirits. It's probably a good idea.

119
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:13.399
And I'm a big fan of sumo
from when I was a kid,

120
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:20.360
so I've I've been paying attention to
sumo since the early nineties, and when

121
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:22.720
I went out there, I since
I've had kids, I've kind of just

122
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:26.559
stopped paying attention to just about every
other thing that I used to get pleasure

123
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:31.240
out of, because that's what kids
do to you. I ended up we

124
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:33.679
ended up going out there during one
of the tournaments, and I was They

125
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.840
have four tournaments throughout the year,
and they're in the they have them in

126
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:41.600
different parts of the country and they're
seasonal, they're only four. Yeah,

127
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:43.960
so you can't. It's not like, oh, let's let's get if you

128
00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:46.519
go to America, chances are you
going to catch a baseball game. Yeah.

129
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:50.320
See, I really want to get
two things. I want to go

130
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:52.919
because I couldn't do them because I've
brought the kids with me. You know,

131
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:56.200
we were busy doing a lot.
We went to like Hello, kitty

132
00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:58.399
Land and things like that. We
wanted next time, I'm going, I'm

133
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:03.679
gonna go a baseball game, and
I'm going during sumo and I am going

134
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:07.120
to just go for one day.
I am a huge fan, and I'm

135
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:11.759
really happy you went and experienced that
so I can actually pick your brain about

136
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:16.080
it. Yeah, it was great, and yeah, it takes a lot

137
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:20.759
of insider knowledge to do it right. We got kind of lucky. And

138
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:24.559
then I played a concert on Sunday. Oh by the way, I was

139
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:28.080
going there for work. I played
a festival called punk Spring Festival, No

140
00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:31.159
Effects and the Damned and High Standard, and that was, like, you

141
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:35.799
know, sixteen thousand people, probably
one of the best shows we've ever played

142
00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:41.399
me as far as like audience,
you know, reaction and fun. And

143
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:48.519
then after that we stayed for like
six more days. And that's when we

144
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:54.639
just started just you know, shopping
like crazy and nice and and the sumo

145
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:58.639
and the you know, the trains, and the went to Mount Fuji and

146
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:05.320
rode these vintage electric go karts of
various styles and designs that they have over

147
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:09.080
there to ride around the base of
Mount Fuji and around the lake and in

148
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:13.080
the city. And you have to
have an international driver's license. Interesting,

149
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:16.720
so driving on the wrong side of
the road. It's a weird thing,

150
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:20.759
it is. It took me a
second because and right now my kids are

151
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:24.840
actually my son is an international man
of mystery. They're in Spain right now.

152
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:28.600
That's where I'm going in June really
sorry, July July sixth to the

153
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:33.960
fourteenth, Pamplona at sanfordin festival.
Oh, that's gonna be awesome. Yeah,

154
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:37.799
they're out there right now for there. They're on spring break and their

155
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:39.240
mom was like, let's let's go. I'm going to go take them out

156
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:43.840
there. I'm like, how are
the prices in Spain right now? I

157
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:46.120
have no idea. I haven't asked. They were never bad in Spain anyway,

158
00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:50.320
But yeah, unless you're going to
Pamplona, of course, I always

159
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:54.279
pick the place where it's most expensive
and the most expensive time because I'm dumb.

160
00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:58.919
Okay, So if I think of
anything else cool about my jop and

161
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:05.120
experience that I could impart onto the
fans of this show, I will.

162
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:07.559
I just been watching a lot of
Andrew Dice Clay, so I'm just calling

his instagram? No? I have?

up and has awkward conversations with people.

173
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:48.440
awkward. Please check it out.
Okay. So we're going down the box

00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:56.759
Dune Part two. I saw it

Yeah, it was a very good experience.

179
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:05.879
I was more engaged in it than
part one, and then it made

180
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:09.559
me want to go watch part one, so I kind of get it now.

Fu Panda Part four I haven't seen. I apologize, seems to be doing

184
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:24.000
well. My kids are not anxious
to see it, and from what I

185
00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:28.039
understand, the reviews are not the
best. That's a shame. It's a

186
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:33.519
shame. Number four Immaculate. That
is a horror film starring and None.

187
00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:37.679
That's like just now that like go
to you know a thing, you put

188
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:41.960

and horror ensues. Arthur the King from

189
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:48.440
Lionsgate. Number five, Late Night
with the Devil, Kinny what is that

190
00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:54.399
about? Stephen Colbert? Stephen Colbert
documentary Dennis the Bio. No, not

191
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:58.279
funny. I think I thought he
was Catholic. Oh, Oh, the

192
00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:05.320
Devil used many many the Devil's quote
scripture during the many time they're in the

193
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:11.360
forty days of the Jesus' time in
the desert. So yeah, don't I

194
00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:16.200
was just joking, But you bring
up an important fact. Eight Love lies

195
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:20.519
bleeding from A twenty four. If
it's an A twenty four movie, people

196
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:24.120
are gonna go see it. Number
nine Cabrini, who I told you,

197
00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:28.919
I'd say, best movie of the
year so far from Angel Studios, although

198
00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:35.399
there's a little backlash in the religious
community saying they have whitewashed sainthood and the

199
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:39.840
spiritual nature of Cabrini's life. Yeah, but you know, at least they're

200
00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:43.360
making a movie about a saint that
we can look up to and emulate.

201
00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:46.120
And if you look into it,
you'll find everybody knows she was more spiritual

202
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:52.360
than you're. She's gonna appear in
a commercial film. I think it's a

203
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:54.879
movie, folks. It's a movie, people, it's a movie. They're

204
00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:58.759
gonna make it. Yeah, They're
gonna dramatize things. Yeah, and they're

205
00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:01.279
gonna you know, the there's a
lot of people going, well, I

206
00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:03.440
think we might alienate some of our
audience if we put too much of this

207
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:05.879
or too much of that in it, and really it's just about her life.

208
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:11.639
We really don't have to go too
deep into her mystical the mystical nature

209
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:13.399
of her life. But okay,
I get I was already ready for that.

210
00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:20.639
Bob Marley One Love still still in
the top ten, ninety five million

211
00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:24.480
at the box office. That is
not only good news for America, good

212
00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:33.159
news for Joe Scalante, who is
working on his own biopic biopic that will

213
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:39.000
be shot sometime this summer. Everything
God willing about Bradley Knowle and Sublime.

214
00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:45.000
Let's take a break and when we
come back, more of Joe'scalante Live from

215
00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:48.320

I B eleven fifty on your AM dial.

218
00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:03.320
If you're listening to this show on
the iHeartMedia app, which you can

219
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:07.080
all over the world, probably hearing
two feeds, Sam, That's what I'm

220
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:12.080
hearing. I'm getting I'm getting it
from from listeners that have I don't have

221
00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:17.879
no way of knowing how they have
access to me being such a prominent celebrity,

222
00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:25.159
but they are getting to me and
they are saying, there's two feeds

223
00:16:25.159 --> 00:16:27.799
out there. So if you're if
you're listening to the two feeds, I'd

224
00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:30.919
say, you know what, just
either find an AM radio or listen to

225
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:36.200
the podcast that's gonna be posted later
tonight. That will be clean and Sam

226
00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:41.840
will make sure it's it's great.
Okay, let's go back to the movies.

227
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:45.200
I did see a couple of movies
this week, even though I was

228
00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:48.679
in Japan. Did I mention I
was in Japan? I don't know if

229
00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:53.279
I did. You did, And
I'm I was at San Francisco and that

230
00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:56.480
just wasn't That doesn't compare. Now, when you go to San Francisco,

231
00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:59.879
do you like, you know,
you just go buy your business and it's

232
00:16:59.919 --> 00:17:07.039
like any normal city. Or do
you see the hobo diarrhea and the syringes

233
00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:10.119
on the ground, children walking over
them like they would like us to believe

234
00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:11.839
in the news A little a column
man, a little a column B To

235
00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:18.759
be honest, Yeah, it's never
as bad as they say. But saw

236
00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:26.200
two movies on the on the jet
the jet thing, you know. The

237
00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:30.960
first one was being married Tyler there
was an outbound flight Being Mary Tyler Moore.

238
00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:37.400
First of all, I usually rejected
movies that are started with the word

239
00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:41.640
being, because has that not been
played out like ten years ago. I'm

240
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:45.240
trying to think of which other ones
being we started with being John Malkovitch.

241
00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:48.480
Oh, yes, that's right,
and then since then and being married Tyler

242
00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:52.519
Moore. There's about one hundred movies
called being something. It's come on,

243
00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:57.119
come up with something else. But
congratulations to being John Nakovich for starting such

244
00:17:57.160 --> 00:18:07.119
an amazing trend. The Exorcist is
the movie I saw on the outbound flight

245
00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:11.119
or the you know or the the
inbound flight. Talk about that in a

246
00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:15.599
second. Being married Tyler Moore.
Mary Tyler Moore, such a big star

247
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:22.720
from the Dick Van Dyke Show.
She was a model before that, such

248
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:27.960
a she's so delightful that it's really
fun to see see where she came from.

249
00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:34.720
And she seems like a puritan of
some kind. But I don't know

250
00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:41.720
if you know this, Sam.
She smoked tobacco cigarettes, No, y

251
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:48.839
she did, and which which brand? Did? She? Probably Virginia Slims,

252
00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:56.920
you know those ladies do so uh
No, but she she was you

253
00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:59.799
know, she tried to fight her
Mary Tyler Moore image, but she would

254
00:18:59.880 --> 00:19:03.440
make men and let them run her
lives. She wanted to be bostar.

255
00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:07.640
She didn't want to pay attention to
the business. So her husband, Grant

256
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:14.480
Tinker, ran Mary Tyler Moore enterprises
that had, like I mean, they

257
00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:18.640
had several shows on the air at
the same time, and they were a

258
00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:25.039
joggernaut, a TV joggernaut. They
could sell anything, and she just let

259
00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:26.480
her husband run it. She didn't
even know what the heck he was doing.

260
00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:33.160
He didn't rip her off or anything
but lucky. And then she married

261
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:38.240
three times and she was a pioneer, but you could tell she wasn't a

262
00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:45.680
you know, committed feminist. She
was trying to like helped women who wanted

263
00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:48.319
to work. I mean, she
was like an icon of the working woman

264
00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:52.960
because of her TV show that showed
her working. And it was one of

265
00:19:53.000 --> 00:20:00.839
those famous stories where they somebody at
I think was maybe Ed Murray or no

266
00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:03.880
Pailey, Ed Paley, Ed Paley, I'm gonna contribute it to this guy,

267
00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:07.319
this old TV legend. Uh,
even if it wasn't him. Uh.

268
00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:14.640
They said they told the writers that
there are two things that we will

269
00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:18.519
never show on television. One is
a divorced woman, the oh there is

270
00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:22.799
a Jew. These are two things
you cannot have on TV. And you

271
00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:26.720
know later and then the Jews and
this comes out in the thing is that

272
00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:30.920
Jews would use Jewish humor through the
goy, which is the non Jew.

273
00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:33.960
And they said, look, we
all know the Jews camp be on TV.

274
00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:37.519
So we use Jewish because all these
Jewish writers we use, we use

275
00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:45.519
the the the gentile to get our
Jewish humor out. And uh, that

276
00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:53.000
was interesting. But they but so
I think, and you know, eventually

277
00:20:53.039 --> 00:21:03.200
divorced, you know, things change. But the documentary is, you know,

278
00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:06.960
it's it's one of those documentaries where
they I don't know if you've seen

279
00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:10.559
this trend lately, Sam, where
they don't show anybody in the interviews.

280
00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:14.680
They just have their voices. Yeah, and they just put it on across

281
00:21:14.759 --> 00:21:19.799
the screen and the lower third of
whose voice is talking about the Mary Tyler

282
00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:25.079
Moore And it's I get it.
You know what The thing about it is

283
00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:29.799
you get a lot better people because
you can get anybody to talk and put

284
00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:33.400
their their audio in there, and
they can do it at home. They

285
00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:37.319
could literally phone it in. Yeah, but if you have to, if

286
00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:41.960
you have to sit down everybody you
you you suffer because you know it's that's

287
00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:48.039
too hard to do, too expensive
to go to them, and to inconvenient

288
00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:52.880
for them to come to you.
So people get away with it. And

289
00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:56.000
I think it works better on a
celebrity thing because if you hear somebody's celebrity

290
00:21:56.079 --> 00:21:57.119
voice and you see their name,
you can okay, I get there.

291
00:21:57.240 --> 00:22:00.720
That is. But if it's like
a true crime and this is a detective

292
00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:06.880
talking and this is another detective talking, it's going to be a little complicated,

293
00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:08.799
but it's one of those. And
then I always wonder, like,

294
00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:15.279
what, how would her life be
different if she would have been had some

295
00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:18.920
kind of faith, because it looks
like she was a secularist of some kind,

296
00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:22.720
and you know, so she had
a lot of sadness in her life.

297
00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:26.079
I always wonder what being a Catholic, I look at these people and

298
00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:32.359
say, well, I identify their
problems and they would all be solved by

299
00:22:32.599 --> 00:22:34.920
just following, you know, the
magisterium of the Catholic Church. And I

300
00:22:36.039 --> 00:22:40.119
realized that's silly to apply that to
everybody. But I'm always looking at documentaries

301
00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:41.960
like that, and I think my
life would be better if I follow the

302
00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:45.039
Magisterian but nobody can do it one
hundred percent, and we all fall.

303
00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:49.319
And But then when I watch these
celebrities and I see them try and they

304
00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:53.200
think it seems like they think they're
they've got everything figured out and they've got

305
00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:57.160
the answers, and there's so much
sadness in some of their lives that I

306
00:22:57.279 --> 00:23:03.319
wonder if if it could have been
different. But I loved the Mary Tyler

307
00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:07.559
Moore documentary. Now I saw the
Exorcist movie. It's called Exorcists The Believer

308
00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:11.559
and it just came out last year
and it stars Ellen Burston, who is

309
00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:15.480
the star of the original Exorcist movie, one of the greatest movies ever made.

310
00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:18.880
Now, you always got to be
suspicious when somebody's going to do a

311
00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:25.160
remake or a sequel of one of
the greatest movies ever made, because really,

312
00:23:25.359 --> 00:23:29.319
how are you gonna you know,
there's only one Godfather too? Yeah,

313
00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:32.839
can you think of another one?
Doom too, But that's not the

314
00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:37.599
greatest movie ever made. That's just
the longboring space movie. So when you're

315
00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:38.960
trying to do the X and there's
been all these other Exorcists, like the

316
00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:48.200
Exorcists to the heretic, so we
go far into the future from the original

317
00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:52.079
like nineteen seventy one. I think
it was something like that in a nineteen

318
00:23:52.079 --> 00:23:56.880
seventy two Extorsi movie. And they're
the only reason this one's getting made is

319
00:23:56.920 --> 00:24:00.000
because they have Ellen Burston, who
played the mother on the regional Exorcist.

320
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:07.559
She was great, and then then
the new one they dig her up like

321
00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:12.240
somebody's. First of all, it's
a diverse Exorcist movie. Now, of

322
00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:19.000
course we have a African American and
a white girl that are both possessed,

323
00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:30.480
and they go and dig up Ellen
Burston. So after the original Exorcist movie.

324
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:33.160
I'm telling you this because I think
a lot of people just don't want

325
00:24:33.160 --> 00:24:37.279
to see this. You know.
It's My wife won't even look at a

326
00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:42.440
trailer for a demonic movie. She's
gonna she After the first Exorcist movie,

327
00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:48.680
the mother of Reagan went on to
lecture about exorcisms and demonic possession. But

328
00:24:48.759 --> 00:24:52.920
she came an expert in it,
and so but she became estranged from Reagan.

329
00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:56.759
And she's living in, of course, one of those perfect homes on

330
00:24:56.799 --> 00:25:00.160
the beach that people in movies seem
to always live. In when only I

331
00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:03.519
live in a perfect home on the
beach in real life. Again, yes,

332
00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:07.440
but she's living in that home.
They dig her up, and she's

333
00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:11.160
going to come and help with the
exorcism, and and it just becomes really

334
00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:12.640
silly. But I get it.
She later in life, she wanted she

335
00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:15.759
wanted a big payday, and she
and how much are you getting me?

336
00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:17.240
All right, I'll go do it. You and know that it's going to

337
00:25:17.319 --> 00:25:21.640
suck anyway, kind of silly.
Don't recommend it just because it's silly.

338
00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:22.640
It got really silly. And then
at the end they had to go that

339
00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:26.079
we have to have a Protestant exorcist. Those are very good exorcist, don't

340
00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:29.920
get me wrong, but Protestant extracists. We have to have a Catholic one.

341
00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:32.720
We have to make him wick foolish. And then we have to have

342
00:25:32.759 --> 00:25:36.000
an African voodoo one. I don't
know what that, dave. I think

343
00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:37.680
they probably could have done without that. You want to make an African African

344
00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:41.839
voodoo movie, make a separate movie. Let's take a break. Check the

345
00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:48.000
traffic on more. Joe Sclante Live
from Hollywood. Joe Escalante Live from Hollywood.

346
00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:56.119
If by Hollywood you mean Burbank.
Okay, everything in Japan has to

347
00:25:56.160 --> 00:26:00.960
be cute, it really does.
All the art kids, they are so

348
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:03.759
much fun. Well, I didn't
have to go in those because I'm bringing

349
00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:10.480
no kids. But ah, the
sounds are spilling out into the streets,

350
00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:17.599
you know, of those arcades and
the just I wonder, let's get back

351
00:26:17.599 --> 00:26:18.880
to your pan a little bit.
I wonder what there's There's gotta be some

352
00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:23.640
ear damage from other employees in those
stores that are just listening to the bombardment

353
00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:30.319
of pachinko or video game noise and
sounds coming over the speakers. Uh,

354
00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:34.440
seems like a couple of health things
that they ignore over there. They eat

355
00:26:34.519 --> 00:26:41.599
well, the food is very healthy. But you know, they are running

356
00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:45.039
out of people because the younger generation
aren't making babies because all they do is

357
00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:51.880
play video games. And this is
a generalization of course, and you know

358
00:26:51.920 --> 00:26:57.480
they have sex robots and video games
and they have they work just enough to

359
00:26:57.640 --> 00:27:00.400
get by and live in a small
part. Meant they don't see any value

360
00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:07.119
in dating and getting a girlfriend and
getting a marriage. It's not a religious

361
00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:15.839
country, so they don't have any
what there's no tradition right now that they're

362
00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:22.200
paying attention to to have a family. So the real estate is a byproduct

363
00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:26.759
of that, is the real estate
business, which is like you can buy

364
00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:30.680
a house and you can buy definitely
a condo in Shibuyah, like the best

365
00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:36.799
neighborhood for I mean the coolest neighborhood. You know, forty five thousand dollars.

366
00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:45.759
You can the guy that did my
weird electric go kart voyage in Mount

367
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:49.039
Fuji, he was buying house is
he bought one for ten thousand. Fixing

368
00:27:49.119 --> 00:27:52.759
it up. Problem is fixing it
up. There's no no one to fix

369
00:27:52.839 --> 00:27:55.440
it up for you. You got
to fix it yourself because you can't.

370
00:27:55.960 --> 00:28:00.519
The labor is very high because nobody
wants to work, and it's very hard

371
00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:03.079
to get anyone to do anything.
They don't want your money. They want

372
00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:07.160
to go play video games. I
tell you. So he confirmed all this,

373
00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:10.359
so that there's like millions and millions. I forgot the number. He

374
00:28:10.400 --> 00:28:15.839
said between two and five million abandoned
homes in Japan. Because the prop the

375
00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:19.240
price of these homes goes lower and
lower and lower till it's underwater and they

376
00:28:19.400 --> 00:28:26.400
have a negative value. It's fascinating. Yeah, it's crazy. I've always

377
00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:30.279
considered moving out there, and uh, he'd be giving more reasons. It'd

378
00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:38.160
be perfect for you. So uh, it's it's it's very sad. What

379
00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:41.640
they need is to just start,
you know, open up the spigot and

380
00:28:41.720 --> 00:28:45.359
let in some Filipinos. The Filipinos
will do the work and they'll fix up

381
00:28:45.359 --> 00:28:49.400
those houses and that I think that's
my solution for them. But they haven't

382
00:28:49.440 --> 00:29:00.440
called me, So that's just that's
sad. But yeah, and still fun

383
00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:02.559
to go. I mean, like, you know, the world may be

384
00:29:02.599 --> 00:29:04.519
coming to an end, sand but
there's still time to live. Well,

385
00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:08.440
oh yeah, and there's still time
to go to Japan and see it all

386
00:29:08.519 --> 00:29:14.160
and do it all. Now,
let's get to the OSCAR ratings because this

387
00:29:14.279 --> 00:29:18.759
is fascinating to us because the OSCARS
I thought was better than most years,

388
00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:22.240
most recent years. I mean the
bottom of the oscars was twenty twenty one,

389
00:29:22.359 --> 00:29:25.640
during the COVID when they were in
the train station. Yeah, when

390
00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:29.440
they really didn't have any movies to
talk about. Yeah, it was the

391
00:29:29.480 --> 00:29:33.640
bottom. Yeah, ten million viewers
I'm talking about, you know, twenty

392
00:29:33.720 --> 00:29:37.079
fourteen they got over forty million,
so they usually used to have around forty

393
00:29:37.119 --> 00:29:41.599
million people watching. I mean,
it was a big deal. And if

394
00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:44.680
you look at what were the big
deals back then on TV, the Oscars

395
00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:47.880
and the super Bowl. Now the
super Bowl is like, you know,

396
00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:52.079
skyrocketing to like ninety five million or
something. That could be wrong, but

397
00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:56.640
I know it's at least that.
And when I say I know it is,

398
00:29:56.880 --> 00:30:02.240
it means I think it is.
But then the Oscar started, you

399
00:30:02.359 --> 00:30:06.039
know, falling because two things were
happening. I'm sure people have heard this

400
00:30:06.119 --> 00:30:11.799
too many times. The movies were
evermore niche and art house films that people

401
00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:18.119
didn't want to see. They're commercially
unsuccessful. Then people stopped going to the

402
00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:23.519
movies because people could watch. When
I was a kid, you couldn't watch

403
00:30:23.559 --> 00:30:27.759
a real movie on TV without commercials. You had every movie you watched had

404
00:30:27.759 --> 00:30:30.839
been modified for the small screen and
had commercials in it. Yep, it

405
00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:34.039
was a huge deal, and Gone
with the Wind would play, and but

406
00:30:34.200 --> 00:30:37.400
it was you know, it took
all it took. It took three days

407
00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:41.359
to watch that film with all the
commercials inserted into it. And then now

408
00:30:41.519 --> 00:30:45.119
you have Then they had a Z
channel, which is the first one then

409
00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:48.079
they had on TV. These are
the first cables that came into your home

410
00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:53.039
and would just play movies with no
commercials, first run movies sort of that

411
00:30:53.119 --> 00:30:57.960
were just you know, they didn't
have video cassette stores. So this was

412
00:30:59.160 --> 00:31:03.599
a magical time for these channels.
Now you have movies everywhere, So do

413
00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:04.680
you really have to go to the
movies? You don't. You go to

414
00:31:04.720 --> 00:31:07.119
the movies and you know what,
I'm going to stay home, I watch

415
00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:10.000
a movie, and then you can't
really decide what movie to watch, and

416
00:31:10.039 --> 00:31:11.960
then it's like pretty soon as nine
thirty, haven't figured it out, and

417
00:31:12.119 --> 00:31:17.440
you watch a half hour of a
movie and you fall asleep. So but

418
00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:19.480
people don't just not going to the
movies. We all know that. So

419
00:31:19.720 --> 00:31:22.920
oscars are suffering, and then they
just start, you know, getting a

420
00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:26.599
little you know, pretentious and self
important with their with their selections. And

421
00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:30.119
then they try to remember a couple
of years ago they said, well,

422
00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:37.319
we're gonna put a category of two
categories. We have the best Oscar and

423
00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:40.440
then we have best Oscar Popular.
Ooh, what a bad idea. So

424
00:31:40.559 --> 00:31:45.039
much backlash, however, they have
just by you know, throwing up their

425
00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:52.000
sleeves. They have they're grinding their
way out of their hole. Two two

426
00:31:52.079 --> 00:31:57.000
years ago, it was sixteen point
six million, up from ten million the

427
00:31:57.039 --> 00:32:01.160
year before, eighteen million, year
after that with the slap, the famous

428
00:32:01.200 --> 00:32:07.759
slap, and this year nineteen point
five million. So they're going in the

429
00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:16.920
right direction for the Oscars. And
that's we didn't even have like an Oscar

430
00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:22.640
wrap up show. We did Oscar
postgame show. You were in Japan.

431
00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:24.960
Yeah, number we did that one
where my microphone wasn't working. And oh,

432
00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:30.720
because that was all post Oscar stuff. I went over the whole thing,

433
00:32:30.359 --> 00:32:35.200
all the movies and all the movies
that my list. I'll give you

434
00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:39.039
my list right now. Number one, Zone of Interest number two, Oppenheimer

435
00:32:39.200 --> 00:32:44.039
number three, Barbie number four,
Past Lives number five, Anatomy of a

436
00:32:44.119 --> 00:32:50.119
Fall number six, Cocaine Bear number
seven, Saltburn number eight, The Holdovers

437
00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:52.759
number nine, ren Field, Nicholas
Cage. Remember I told you I saw

438
00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:55.720
him in the movie in the Restaurant. Great movie, Great movie, number

439
00:32:55.759 --> 00:33:00.759
ten, Sound of Freedom. So
I didn't have Maestro of the ones that

440
00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:05.480
won. I didn't have Maestro on
my list because it was who left Snoopy

441
00:33:05.880 --> 00:33:08.799
abandoned Snoopy in the Vestibule. That
was the only good part of it.

442
00:33:09.119 --> 00:33:13.759
Who Abandoned Snoopy in the vestibule.
You've seen it, you know what I'm

443
00:33:13.759 --> 00:33:16.759
talking about. I didn't have poor
things on my list is a little filthy.

444
00:33:16.880 --> 00:33:22.079
Killers are the Flower Moon just too
much? Too self important? Holdovers?

445
00:33:22.599 --> 00:33:27.119
Pretty good? Madam of Adam of
Anatomy of a far That was a

446
00:33:27.160 --> 00:33:29.839
great movie. I have that on
mind. Yeah, so the only ones

447
00:33:29.880 --> 00:33:36.440
I don't have are poor things and
poor things and killers of the farm and

448
00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:40.000
poor thing's a little filthy. We'll
be back after this. Joe's Galante Live

449
00:33:40.039 --> 00:33:45.799
from Hollywood. Joe's Golante Live from
Hollywood. If by Hollywood you mean Burbank

450
00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:50.519
across the street from this Wiener Schnitzel
here that sells beer, gott to check

451
00:33:50.559 --> 00:33:53.240
it out. I've been sponsoring the
show. I haven't been in a while.

452
00:33:53.359 --> 00:33:57.799
I'm sad. I've been on a
diet. I've and over the last

453
00:33:57.880 --> 00:34:00.519
six weeks I've lost like almost twenty
pounds. Really yeah, well, you

454
00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:04.359
look fantastic, Thank you, thank
you. I always look fantastic, but

455
00:34:04.440 --> 00:34:07.199
now I'm looking more spelt than aerodynamic. Hmm. Well, that Wiener schnitz

456
00:34:07.199 --> 00:34:12.159
will lift the beer. It doesn't
kill you. The ingredients and the food

457
00:34:12.199 --> 00:34:15.000
will. But I still want to
thank him for sponsoring our show for so

458
00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:19.320
for so long. I'm kind of
like the Don Lemon of radio. I'd

459
00:34:19.360 --> 00:34:22.480
bite the hand that feeds me.
Not afraid we'll get to Don Lemon.

460
00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:25.559
But first, do you like rap
music, Sam? I'm a fan of

461
00:34:29.119 --> 00:34:32.039
Yeah, the back in the day
rap. Yes, The more recent stuff

462
00:34:32.119 --> 00:34:36.679
not so much. I'm the same
way, same way with country music.

463
00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:42.719
Not much of the new stuff.
I want. I want to see if

464
00:34:42.760 --> 00:34:45.760
you can guess which of the following
popular rap stars or what they have in

465
00:34:45.840 --> 00:34:52.440
common this list number one, Sexy
Red Okay, number two, Kodak Black,

466
00:34:54.039 --> 00:34:59.440
number three, Walk a Walk a
Flame, Walk a flocka Flame.

467
00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:02.280
I believe, Oh see, you
got me, you gought me. You're

468
00:35:02.360 --> 00:35:07.360
you are a connoisseur. You're not
gonna let me slip with any mispronunciations.

469
00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:12.519
I've just noticed his social media presence. That's about it. I noticed the

470
00:35:13.079 --> 00:35:15.840
speaking of mispronunciations. We should have
you should have heard the guy doing the

471
00:35:15.880 --> 00:35:20.880
reading today at the Palm Sunday mass
you know, wasn't that good. Well,

472
00:35:20.880 --> 00:35:22.480
I'm just saying, like you can
tell when a young guys trying to

473
00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:28.599
figure out how to pronounce things like
you know, Joseph of Arimathea or Barabbas.

474
00:35:29.320 --> 00:35:30.599
You can tell he's never seen a
cecil b to mill film, because

475
00:35:30.639 --> 00:35:35.239
I think that's where we get the
proper pronunciations. Charlton Heston and people like

476
00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:38.000
that. You'll Brenner. But if
you haven't, you know, if you

477
00:35:38.079 --> 00:35:42.400
haven't seen those things, you just
you're just you know, you might even

478
00:35:42.440 --> 00:35:45.480
be pronouncing them correctly. But there's
a lot of news floating around. The

479
00:35:45.239 --> 00:35:51.480
Pope John Pope Francis didn't didn't do
the homily today. He skipped it,

480
00:35:52.119 --> 00:35:55.559
really and there's a lot of speculation
about why that might be. But the

481
00:35:55.840 --> 00:36:00.840
reading on Palm Sunday is so long. I think you gotta cut him slack,

482
00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:02.559
so long he's got to stand up
the whole time. Just let him

483
00:36:02.559 --> 00:36:05.760
sit down and get on with the
mask. He doesn't have to do homily.

484
00:36:05.960 --> 00:36:08.199
Priests don't have to do a homily. That's the speech following the reading

485
00:36:08.480 --> 00:36:13.079
from the Gospel, otherwise known as
the sermon. They don't have to do

486
00:36:13.159 --> 00:36:15.519
one. They could just say,
hey, that was enough, we read,

487
00:36:15.639 --> 00:36:19.119
we rode from the Bible. You're
welcome, then sit down. I'm

488
00:36:19.199 --> 00:36:22.400
the Pope. Yeah, I'm the
Pope. Have a good day. I

489
00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:25.760
have a great Sunday. Yeah,
okay. So number two yeah, Codek,

490
00:36:25.840 --> 00:36:30.000
Black Flock, I Walk, you
said, walk a flock of Flame?

491
00:36:30.119 --> 00:36:34.519
Yeah, okay. Azellia Banks,
you've heard of her? Correct?

492
00:36:34.559 --> 00:36:39.360
Probably? I think so? Um, Chief keif Ah, who doesn't like

493
00:36:39.440 --> 00:36:46.280
some Chief Keith, Benny the Butcher. Not that familiar with Benny Benny the

494
00:36:46.320 --> 00:36:54.079
Butcher, Little Pump a little Pump. You're trying to like keep these all

495
00:36:54.159 --> 00:36:57.440
in a group, and then then
you're gonna guess at what they all have

496
00:36:57.519 --> 00:37:05.960
in common. Number eight Bandman,
Kevo mm hmm and uh o, j

497
00:37:06.159 --> 00:37:10.280
z h oh jez oh. Jeezy's
kind of like a white rapper. He

498
00:37:10.360 --> 00:37:20.559
looks like p Z and money Man. He's probably done with money Man.

499
00:37:21.559 --> 00:37:27.000
Probably saw his interview on the Hood
Clips. Yeah, so that's Those are

500
00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:32.960
eleven rappers, money Man, pz
oj Z, Baman, Kivo, Little

501
00:37:32.960 --> 00:37:39.239
Pump, Benny the Butcher, Chief
Keef, Azelia Banks, Walk a Flock

502
00:37:39.239 --> 00:37:44.480
of Flame, Kodak Black and Sexy
Red. What do they all have in

503
00:37:44.559 --> 00:37:47.920
common? They all have songs that
I can't identify. Nope, they're all

504
00:37:49.039 --> 00:37:55.800
backing Donald Trump in twenty twenty four. All right, so he's got the

505
00:37:55.920 --> 00:38:02.079
rapper vote, at least a significant
portion of them. So look out,

506
00:38:02.679 --> 00:38:07.679
just look out. Let's go to
Don Lemon. This might take a while.

507
00:38:07.679 --> 00:38:13.920
Don Lemon, speaking of rappers,
he wraps on TV on the news,

508
00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:19.880
he's he's, he's, he's a
news reader. And I can't tell

509
00:38:19.960 --> 00:38:22.559
on CNN, is he just like
straight news or his opinion I think his

510
00:38:22.639 --> 00:38:27.000
opinion guy. At this point,
it's all blurred together, okay, because

511
00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:30.000
I know in Fox they have their
news people that don't express opinion. Then

512
00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:34.840
they have their opinion people that you
know, you know, stir stir up

513
00:38:35.079 --> 00:38:39.840
everybody. CNN. I have a
hard time figure out which is which.

514
00:38:42.079 --> 00:38:44.039
I guess if I see a guy
with a microphone on the street, I

515
00:38:44.159 --> 00:38:50.840
know he's not going to give an
opinion usually. But Don Lemon was fired

516
00:38:50.880 --> 00:38:54.599
from CNN recently, and then,
you know, like a lot of people

517
00:38:54.639 --> 00:39:02.400
to get fired from these major news
things like Bill Over and Tucker Carlson,

518
00:39:04.039 --> 00:39:09.760
he went off to use the internet
to be his new platform. In a

519
00:39:09.840 --> 00:39:13.719
lot of these guys make a lot
of money on the internet. But there's

520
00:39:13.760 --> 00:39:16.320
two things that you got to do. You either can have a subscription,

521
00:39:21.119 --> 00:39:24.039
three things you can do seems like
from from where I sit. When once

522
00:39:24.079 --> 00:39:27.239
you get fired or you're out in
the colby, you have a large following.

523
00:39:27.239 --> 00:39:29.960
You got to act quickly because people
will forget about you. So you

524
00:39:30.039 --> 00:39:36.639
can either go to like the Daily
Caller or one of these websites where you're

525
00:39:36.679 --> 00:39:39.000
going to get a lot of subscribers, or you know, people listen to

526
00:39:39.119 --> 00:39:43.000
for free. But you have to
do commercials I'll send. You've got to

527
00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:45.360
do these sixty second spots, which
these people don't know how to do,

528
00:39:45.440 --> 00:39:49.320
so they do them like three minutes. So you got to read. You

529
00:39:49.400 --> 00:39:51.760
got to shill. I guess he
would call that, and that's tough for

530
00:39:51.840 --> 00:39:53.920
some people to do. Tucker Carlson. He don't want to do that,

531
00:39:54.039 --> 00:39:58.800
so he takes the other option.
He goes, you can go. You

532
00:39:58.880 --> 00:40:01.760
can go have just have a raight
up subscription model and people pay five ninety

533
00:40:01.800 --> 00:40:05.480
nine a month or three dollars a
month. You can make money that way.

534
00:40:05.920 --> 00:40:07.960
If you've got a million listeners at
three million at three dollars a month,

535
00:40:08.000 --> 00:40:13.079
that's three million a month. You're
making most of it's going to you.

536
00:40:13.480 --> 00:40:16.840
Yeah, Or you go to Twitter. Now Twitter will pay you,

537
00:40:19.800 --> 00:40:22.480
so Tucker Carlson goes to Twitter,
right, I think I'm right. He's

538
00:40:22.519 --> 00:40:27.880
on Twitter, and then Tucker Carlson
Elon Musk has a few people that he

539
00:40:28.880 --> 00:40:38.239
that he will favor with a a
platform. So you're on Twitter and your

540
00:40:38.280 --> 00:40:43.760
show's as long as you want it, I guess. And then you're getting

541
00:40:43.800 --> 00:40:49.519
paid by Elon Musk because you're attracting
people to Twitter. So you can get

542
00:40:49.559 --> 00:40:55.079
millions that way if you're worth it, or you can. So that's at

543
00:40:55.159 --> 00:41:01.280
the you know, subscription start your
own yeah, start your own subscription theme,

544
00:41:02.280 --> 00:41:08.440
or just go on YouTube and collect
the advertising dollars, or maybe you

545
00:41:08.480 --> 00:41:15.119
can make a deal with Twitter.
So Don Lemon made a deal with Twitter.

546
00:41:15.079 --> 00:41:20.719
Then his first guest guest on the
show was Elon Musk, and then

547
00:41:20.800 --> 00:41:25.719
he started grilling Elon Musk, who
is now his boss, about things like,

548
00:41:27.280 --> 00:41:32.559
hey, isn't this platform a haven
for hate speech? Because of your

549
00:41:32.679 --> 00:41:37.760
neglect? Basically I think that was
the point. Are you allowing hate to

550
00:41:38.199 --> 00:41:43.840
to fester on your thing? And
he's like, look, guy, I

551
00:41:44.000 --> 00:41:45.239
just gave you millions of dollars.
Why are you doing this to me?

552
00:41:46.159 --> 00:41:49.039
And he's said, well, I'm, you know, trying to be a

553
00:41:49.079 --> 00:41:53.119
serious journalist. Well, I'm not
having it. So he canceled the deal.

554
00:41:54.880 --> 00:42:01.239
And the question is, the legal
question is could he cancel that deal

555
00:42:02.920 --> 00:42:07.400
without paying a bunch of money to
this guy he just promised a deal to

556
00:42:08.559 --> 00:42:13.400
And so we don't know what was
in that agreement, so we don't really

557
00:42:13.480 --> 00:42:15.960
know the answer. People are running
around saying, oh, this is bad.

558
00:42:15.960 --> 00:42:17.599
He's gonna have to pay millions of
dollars, and they're also saying this

559
00:42:17.800 --> 00:42:23.280
is well lean Elon Musk can obviously
he took over Twitter to have free speech.

560
00:42:23.840 --> 00:42:28.519
But then if he fires this guy, obviously he's not serious about free

561
00:42:28.559 --> 00:42:32.519
speech. So legally, let me
address that right now, we don't know

562
00:42:32.559 --> 00:42:36.079
because we haven't seen the contract.
It might be in there. That's something

563
00:42:36.119 --> 00:42:39.239
that says you can't disparage Twitter itself, which means Elon Musk, if you're

564
00:42:39.280 --> 00:42:43.719
disparaging it, then we'd have to
go to court and say is asking these,

565
00:42:43.880 --> 00:42:47.480
you know, hard questions disparaging it
or is that his job to ask

566
00:42:47.519 --> 00:42:52.000
these hard questions. So we don't
know that would be a determination for the

567
00:42:52.039 --> 00:42:57.559
try or fact in a courtroom.
But you know you're playing with fire if

568
00:42:57.639 --> 00:43:00.400
you are going right to the heart
on day one of Twitter. The complaints

569
00:43:00.400 --> 00:43:05.639
about Twitter are it used to be. They are controlled by the government and

570
00:43:06.039 --> 00:43:10.079
of FBI and the CIA are having
regular meetings with him and saying censored stuff

571
00:43:10.159 --> 00:43:15.159
like this, this and this.
Take the Hunter Biden laptop, where they

572
00:43:15.719 --> 00:43:19.559
they anybody who I think was a
New York Post that posted that broke a

573
00:43:19.639 --> 00:43:22.960
story and then they just lost their
Twitter account even though what they were reporting

574
00:43:23.199 --> 00:43:30.400
was turned out to be true.
So you so he takes it over and

575
00:43:30.480 --> 00:43:34.119
then he's going to let everybody speak
and they're not going to do that anymore.

576
00:43:34.400 --> 00:43:36.239
But then the first day one,
the guy asking him a bunch of

577
00:43:36.239 --> 00:43:42.519
our questions, he says, you're
out of here. So that's it.

578
00:43:42.800 --> 00:43:45.159
We don't really know what's in the
contract. So we don't really know.

579
00:43:45.880 --> 00:43:49.840
Now let's go to the free speech
thing. I have two things to say

580
00:43:49.840 --> 00:43:53.039
about that. The free speech thing, he doesn't really have anything to argue

581
00:43:53.039 --> 00:43:59.360
about complain about because he didn't cancel
his Twitter account. He's allowed to be

582
00:43:59.400 --> 00:44:01.880
on Twitter like everybody else. It's
just not gonna pay them, and not

583
00:44:01.960 --> 00:44:05.480
everybody has a right to get paid. And I would say, if you

584
00:44:05.480 --> 00:44:08.960
want to get paid, might want
to wait till day two before you start

585
00:44:10.039 --> 00:44:19.320
trying to push the envelope, and
he's accusing the guy of allowing hate speech.

586
00:44:19.480 --> 00:44:23.920
But you know, hate speech in
this definition is anything he disagrees with.

587
00:44:24.480 --> 00:44:29.719
When there's also hate speech on both
sides. There's people who hate who

588
00:44:30.440 --> 00:44:35.039
call people monsters. On the right, they call the people on the left

589
00:44:35.079 --> 00:44:37.719
monsters, baby eating communists, and
then people on the left call the people

590
00:44:37.760 --> 00:44:46.559
on the right homophobes and racists and
all that kind of stuff. So it's

591
00:44:46.599 --> 00:44:51.400
not a pure argument because you're only
going to take your side. I'm going

592
00:44:51.480 --> 00:44:54.159
to say you foster hate speech because
you allow the stuff I disagree with.

593
00:44:57.199 --> 00:45:00.679
Now, of course, on the
far, far far reach of each side,

594
00:45:00.400 --> 00:45:02.280
we could all agree on some of
the said okay, that's actual hate

595
00:45:02.320 --> 00:45:06.400
speech. That's actual hate speech.
But they're usually not complaining about that.

596
00:45:06.480 --> 00:45:09.039
They're just trying to silence people they
disagree with on both sides. That'd be

597
00:45:09.079 --> 00:45:14.840
a natural thing to do. So
I don't think he has a free speech

598
00:45:15.559 --> 00:45:19.280
argument. Elon Musk is not part
of the government. He doesn't have to

599
00:45:19.360 --> 00:45:27.119
give people equal amounts of money to
do their speech. And then the legal

600
00:45:27.199 --> 00:45:30.320
argument, we don't know yet,
we'll find out, but it is a

601
00:45:30.400 --> 00:45:32.920
lesson for all employees out there.
This might happen to you, and it's

602
00:45:32.920 --> 00:45:38.639
happened to him before. He's been
fired for and reprimanded many times from many

603
00:45:38.760 --> 00:45:44.079
things. Let's take a break and
check the traffic. Come back more.

604
00:45:44.159 --> 00:45:47.360
Joe Escalante Live at Hollywood. Joe
Escalante Live from Hollywood. If by Hollywood

605
00:45:47.360 --> 00:45:52.400
you mean bird Bank. This is
two hours of the business end of show

606
00:45:52.440 --> 00:45:55.920
business. We do it every Sunday
right here on k the IB eleven fifty

607
00:45:55.960 --> 00:46:00.559
on your AM dial. Sam is
with me, Sam. Yes, we

608
00:46:00.679 --> 00:46:07.320
talked a little bit about the burden
on somebody putting together a remake of a

609
00:46:07.360 --> 00:46:12.280
classic movie like The Exorcist, and
how you know, why are you going

610
00:46:12.360 --> 00:46:15.280
to do it? And I know
the reason why they own the ip people

611
00:46:15.320 --> 00:46:17.519
are looking at old IP ands and
what are we going to do that it's

612
00:46:17.599 --> 00:46:22.320
valuable, We're going to do something
with it. And then if we can

613
00:46:22.360 --> 00:46:23.719
get Alan Burston, let's make this
movie no matter how bad it is.

614
00:46:24.320 --> 00:46:30.639
It's kind of Yeah, so that's
what happened. Another movie is being remade

615
00:46:30.960 --> 00:46:38.679
with a with a real time backlash, The Crow, the original Crow Brandon

616
00:46:38.760 --> 00:46:44.239
Lee where he died on the set. Yeah, that was a cult classic

617
00:46:44.360 --> 00:46:47.039
for people my age, that movie
holds a special place. For sure.

618
00:46:47.239 --> 00:46:52.360
Alec Baldwin was nowhere to be seen
in this movie, yet he still died.

619
00:46:52.440 --> 00:46:54.280
So I think that goes to I
don't know if he can the judge

620
00:46:54.280 --> 00:47:00.519
will allow that comparison in the courtroom. But they wanted to be alone.

621
00:47:00.280 --> 00:47:05.760
But it was so successful. There's
got to be something. Maybe it's more

622
00:47:05.800 --> 00:47:08.760
tasteful to make a sequel than an
actual remake because of your an actual remake,

623
00:47:08.800 --> 00:47:15.400
you're replacing Brandon Lee as the as
the crew. The Crow is about

624
00:47:15.519 --> 00:47:20.920
a musician I think that dies and
he yeah, comes back to haunt the

625
00:47:21.159 --> 00:47:25.000
people. He was a musician that
got killed on Devil's Night in Detroit.

626
00:47:25.719 --> 00:47:30.079
I believe it's based on the life, true life story of Davey Havoc from

627
00:47:30.119 --> 00:47:35.800
AFI. That's what I'm hearing.
No, you know buying that. No,

628
00:47:36.320 --> 00:47:40.719
Okay, just made it up.
Okay, So yeah, they don't

629
00:47:40.719 --> 00:47:45.079
want to. The directors come out
and said not, you leave this alone.

630
00:47:46.719 --> 00:47:53.400
And but it's hard to tell someone
who owns the IP. And when

631
00:47:53.400 --> 00:48:00.840
I say IP, I mean intellectual
property. If you own that and you

632
00:48:00.880 --> 00:48:04.559
can't do anything with it because of
an emotional there's a group out there that's

633
00:48:04.599 --> 00:48:07.840
gonna come, come and get you. That only lasts so long, and

634
00:48:07.039 --> 00:48:10.719
that probably was preventing, you know, people to do things with it for

635
00:48:10.800 --> 00:48:14.519
a while. And then now he
has new people in power and they're like,

636
00:48:14.639 --> 00:48:17.760
I don't care about this. The
Bruce Lee family gets no respect.

637
00:48:19.000 --> 00:48:23.760
See what they did to Bruce Lee
and the beloved Quentin Tarantin who destroyed him

638
00:48:23.800 --> 00:48:31.719
and once upon a time in Hollywood. Yeah, so now they're getting this,

639
00:48:34.119 --> 00:48:38.039
I understand, but I just don't. You know, it's like people

640
00:48:38.119 --> 00:48:40.920
in Hollywood are doing disgusting things all
day long. That's that's you know,

641
00:48:42.559 --> 00:48:45.320
it's half the business. Yeah,
so they're gonna they're gonna make a repeat.

642
00:48:45.320 --> 00:48:50.320
They don't care. They're not gonna
they're gonna say, this is not

643
00:48:50.360 --> 00:48:52.400
that pressure. It's precious, but
not that pressureus. We're doing it.

644
00:48:52.480 --> 00:48:54.880
Get out of my face. That's
the thing. I I've got issues with

645
00:48:55.079 --> 00:49:00.159
remaking classic movies. A lot of
people are just trying to bank on the

646
00:49:00.480 --> 00:49:05.320
legacy of other stuff that was already
good and they don't need to push that.

647
00:49:06.559 --> 00:49:12.280
I would love to see movies that
flopped get remade, Movies that should

648
00:49:12.320 --> 00:49:15.239
have been a lot better. Where's
my water World remake? Where's my ish

649
00:49:15.320 --> 00:49:21.280
Tar? That's what I'm saying.
Yes, yes, I watched Ishtar again

650
00:49:21.400 --> 00:49:27.159
for the unteen. Why why are
you doing that? It's like self flagellations

651
00:49:27.199 --> 00:49:31.559
on Criteria Channel and Criterion Channel a
very prestigious film. All you do,

652
00:49:31.880 --> 00:49:35.119
all you have to do is watch
the first hour and then after that you

653
00:49:35.280 --> 00:49:37.280
just turn it off. First hour
is amazing. It's the greatest movies ever,

654
00:49:38.039 --> 00:49:46.480
all of us. It's about two
struggling nightclub entertainers and they can't make

655
00:49:46.519 --> 00:49:51.480
cat a break and they and they
can't realize how bad they are. So

656
00:49:51.599 --> 00:49:52.960
someone had to write all the bad
songs that will be the original material.

657
00:49:53.280 --> 00:49:57.440
And the person they went to was
my brother in law, Paul Williams,

658
00:49:57.519 --> 00:50:00.800
to write all those songs. Really
yeah, and they are a amazing you

659
00:50:00.920 --> 00:50:08.559
know, just amazing songs. Like
playing the accordion. It's dangerous business.

660
00:50:09.800 --> 00:50:15.760
If you admit that you play the
accordion, you'll never get hired in a

661
00:50:15.920 --> 00:50:20.079
rock and band. It's one of
those songs. It's good one, okay.

662
00:50:20.679 --> 00:50:27.639
And some other celebrity news here,
Bill Maher fired Caa his agent.

663
00:50:28.320 --> 00:50:31.280
I heard about this top agent in
the business because he did not get invited

664
00:50:31.960 --> 00:50:37.519
to the to an Oscar party.
But whose Oscar party was it? It

665
00:50:37.639 --> 00:50:42.599
was CIA's Oscar party. Yeah yeah, oh yeah. Like does that speak

666
00:50:42.719 --> 00:50:47.559
to how much Bill Maher is not
being like he would not be appreciated by

667
00:50:47.599 --> 00:50:51.880
the crowd that would show up to
the CAA party or is that just a

668
00:50:52.079 --> 00:50:55.079
lapse on his agent's part. I
don't know, but because you bring up

669
00:50:55.079 --> 00:50:59.000
a good point, because he has
kind of made a shift towards the center

670
00:50:59.239 --> 00:51:02.519
politically and he's attacking people on the
left, which is a no, no,

671
00:51:02.880 --> 00:51:07.159
yeah, and he so maybe he's
not welcome with Margot Robbie and Kamala

672
00:51:07.280 --> 00:51:15.920
Harris, JJ Abrams, Dana Walden, Brian Robbins, Jason Blum. Maybe

673
00:51:15.960 --> 00:51:17.960
they don't like him, They don't
want them around. They want to They

674
00:51:17.960 --> 00:51:23.079
don't want to be reminded of his
position on these things. They don't want

675
00:51:23.079 --> 00:51:25.599
to hear it. They live in
a bubble. Don't tell me what might

676
00:51:25.639 --> 00:51:32.079
be the truth? I'm trying to
party or is it elapse? Either way,

677
00:51:32.800 --> 00:51:36.599
fired I would I think I would
do the same thing. When I

678
00:51:36.679 --> 00:51:39.760
was a successful morning radio host,
I went to one of the indie one

679
00:51:39.760 --> 00:51:46.639
of three one parties and I couldn't
even get into the VIP area. And

680
00:51:46.760 --> 00:51:50.320
I was the morning host. I'm
the highest paid guy in the station,

681
00:51:51.320 --> 00:51:53.119
and no one gave me a wristband
or anything to get into the VIP area.

682
00:51:53.199 --> 00:51:54.760
So, you know, it is
embarrassing. And tell my wife,

683
00:51:54.800 --> 00:51:58.800
we can't go here. We've got
to stand over here with them the punters.

684
00:52:00.199 --> 00:52:02.320
It. Oh, and then that
Coachella, they had a Coachella house.

685
00:52:05.039 --> 00:52:07.000
I wasn't invited to it, and
so I go to Coachella because I'm

686
00:52:07.119 --> 00:52:12.119
I go. You know, I've
got access beyond belief. I'm crising around

687
00:52:12.159 --> 00:52:15.199
in my own golf cart, my
own dedicated golf cart. I'm backstage talking

688
00:52:15.199 --> 00:52:16.719
to everybody. And then the program
manager says, I heard you had your

689
00:52:16.719 --> 00:52:20.880
own golf car at Coachella. You're
just going in and out all through the

690
00:52:21.000 --> 00:52:22.480
artist area. Yeah, I did. Well, why didn't you get a

691
00:52:22.519 --> 00:52:25.320
center interviews? That? What's the
minter with you? And I got,

692
00:52:25.400 --> 00:52:31.480
you know, uh, almost fired
for that. Well maybe not almost fired,

693
00:52:31.519 --> 00:52:35.360
but I mean I got I got
called into the office and got lectured

694
00:52:35.360 --> 00:52:37.599
because I didn't get any I didn't
use that access to help the station.

695
00:52:38.320 --> 00:52:40.320
I'm like you didn't even let me
go to the Coachella house. I did

696
00:52:40.360 --> 00:52:46.679
all this on my own. Screw
you, that's life. But I just

697
00:52:46.679 --> 00:52:50.320
so I feel for Bill Maher and
I say, yeah, fire the guys.

698
00:52:51.280 --> 00:52:54.760
Joe's Goalante Live from Hollywood. Back
after this, Joe's Goalante Live from

699
00:52:54.880 --> 00:53:01.599
Hollywood. If I Hollywood, you
mean Burbank? All right, Sam,

700
00:53:02.199 --> 00:53:06.920
let's just magic you do with those
those mixes, those Sam mixes. Yeah,

701
00:53:07.119 --> 00:53:08.719
those are Sam. Those are Sam's
New York mixes that he does.

702
00:53:09.920 --> 00:53:17.679
All right, let's keep talking about
Hollywood. Hollywood is a place for elites.

703
00:53:19.159 --> 00:53:24.760
We all know. Bill Maher firing
is agents just because he was snubbed

704
00:53:24.760 --> 00:53:32.039
at the party. That sounds like
the kind of thing that I'm a It's

705
00:53:32.079 --> 00:53:36.559
a very Hollywood thing. But you
can understand why I'm on his side.

706
00:53:37.599 --> 00:53:40.000
Fine, you're gone. There's a
lot of other here's I just had to

707
00:53:40.000 --> 00:53:45.480
pick out an agent for a multimillion
dollar act, and we had our choice

708
00:53:45.920 --> 00:53:52.599
Cia William Morris or smaller boutique now
we could be. Now. Basically,

709
00:53:52.760 --> 00:54:00.440
a band is fighting for festivals,
biggest attention from the festival promoters out there,

710
00:54:01.000 --> 00:54:09.119
and that's really the the records and
the and the publishing, you know,

711
00:54:09.840 --> 00:54:15.880
aside, the big money is in
live performances at these big festivals,

712
00:54:15.239 --> 00:54:19.039
big tours. I mean you hear
all the numbers the rolling Stones going out

713
00:54:19.079 --> 00:54:22.360
and they're you know, they're going
to gross one billion dollars or whatever.

714
00:54:22.400 --> 00:54:25.960
It's Taylor Swift. Her live performances
are changing the economy of many cities.

715
00:54:28.039 --> 00:54:31.440
So you want to be you want
the attention of these promoters who are paying

716
00:54:31.440 --> 00:54:38.239
the money. Those are the ones
with the money. AEG Live Nation run

717
00:54:38.320 --> 00:54:46.960
by my uh step brother Mike Freeze. Yeah, so what we do we

718
00:54:47.079 --> 00:54:51.039
looked at. What we did is
we look through do you want to be

719
00:54:51.239 --> 00:54:52.599
there's a list of bands that are
going to be considered for these festivals.

720
00:54:52.920 --> 00:54:57.199
Do you want to be somewhere in
the middle of this list as far as

721
00:54:57.239 --> 00:55:00.119
the attention you're getting from your agent, or do you want to be at

722
00:55:00.119 --> 00:55:02.760
the top of the list. Get
a smaller agent. They're working harder,

723
00:55:04.159 --> 00:55:07.800
that'll gag. So you've got two. You got two choices. We went

724
00:55:07.880 --> 00:55:12.639
with being the big the big fish
in the smaller pond. So far it

725
00:55:12.719 --> 00:55:16.079
has made all the difference. And
what he is is not a big fish

726
00:55:16.199 --> 00:55:21.960
in a small pond. He's off
fish in a giant pond. So that's

727
00:55:22.000 --> 00:55:24.440
just this. This is a life
lesson for people who are choosing an agency.

728
00:55:25.599 --> 00:55:29.719
One of the other things. Since
I'm in the advice mood right now,

729
00:55:30.440 --> 00:55:37.400
don't choose an agent too soon because
you want a good agent. So

730
00:55:37.519 --> 00:55:38.840
you want to, you know,
go out there and get you know,

731
00:55:38.960 --> 00:55:42.800
do whatever as much as you can
on your own to like, you know,

732
00:55:42.880 --> 00:55:47.159
with your social media or your your
performances, and whether it's you know,

733
00:55:47.800 --> 00:55:53.679
is an actor or a musician,
do much on your own, get

734
00:55:53.719 --> 00:56:04.239
that, get that fury going in
the social media world, and then pick

735
00:56:04.320 --> 00:56:07.840
your agent from from some of the
best. Because if you just some people

736
00:56:07.840 --> 00:56:09.679
are going I just need an agent. If I need it, If I

737
00:56:09.679 --> 00:56:12.960
could just get an agent, I
could get work, and I could get

738
00:56:12.960 --> 00:56:15.000
attention, and I could get famous. That's not true. You're not going

739
00:56:15.079 --> 00:56:19.000
to get an agent like that.
You got to get an agent by going

740
00:56:19.039 --> 00:56:22.239
out and making a splash. So
go out, make a splash. If

741
00:56:22.280 --> 00:56:25.320
it's if you're an actor, go
into the small you know, theater world

742
00:56:25.920 --> 00:56:30.679
and blow people's minds, make some
tape. Have If you don't have two

743
00:56:30.760 --> 00:56:35.559
agents or more fighting for you,
you're gonna end up with the wrong agent.

744
00:56:35.679 --> 00:56:37.119
It's too early to get an agent. Now, let's go to managers.

745
00:56:37.119 --> 00:56:39.400
If you get a manager, anybody
can get a manager. They don't

746
00:56:39.400 --> 00:56:45.559
have to be licensed. Just any
schmuck off the street can can can be

747
00:56:45.639 --> 00:56:49.400
your manager. Now, if you
get one too early, that's called the

748
00:56:49.480 --> 00:56:52.840
manager, and it's going to be
very hard to get rid of that person.

749
00:56:52.920 --> 00:56:55.440
And then it's gonna be hard to
get a real manager when you've got

750
00:56:55.639 --> 00:57:02.239
this manager hanging on. Now you've
got legal problems, and do everything on

751
00:57:02.320 --> 00:57:06.440
your own. Be self managed for
as long as you can take it till

752
00:57:07.119 --> 00:57:12.239
you've done something till it's undeniable.
You have two managers or more fighting over

753
00:57:12.320 --> 00:57:16.000
you, then that's time to get
a manager, all right, And then

754
00:57:16.039 --> 00:57:20.239
you won't you won't have to be
You think anyone I think Bill Maher would

755
00:57:20.239 --> 00:57:23.559
have been kicked out of the girsh
Agency Oscar party. No he would not.

756
00:57:24.760 --> 00:57:28.719
I think he wouldn't have been kicked
out of the party two years ago.

757
00:57:29.400 --> 00:57:31.280
Oh okay, So you think it's
political. I think it might have

758
00:57:31.400 --> 00:57:37.239
to do something to do with that
interesting well, and so if you speak

759
00:57:37.280 --> 00:57:42.440
your mind, you're gonna be punished. Got a fall in line like sheep.

760
00:57:43.960 --> 00:57:46.400
Yeah, when you're outspoken on that
level, Yeah, yeah, Like

761
00:57:46.480 --> 00:57:50.360
I mean, when you're at when
you're literally the host of a political talk

762
00:57:50.440 --> 00:57:52.639
show. Then if you're going to
start, you know, like you said,

763
00:57:52.719 --> 00:57:58.000
biting the hand that feeds you,
they're gonna be a little less likely

764
00:57:58.159 --> 00:58:01.679
to want to invite you to their
little parties, right because you you can

765
00:58:02.199 --> 00:58:07.320
revel in all your independence and fearlessness
courageous speech, but you'll be very lonely

766
00:58:07.360 --> 00:58:12.719
on Oscar night, or just find
another party, throw your own party.

767
00:58:13.079 --> 00:58:15.519
Oh there you go, I throw
your own party. I'll go, I'll

768
00:58:15.559 --> 00:58:19.400
throw by. Oh. If I
was him, I would say, everybody,

769
00:58:19.480 --> 00:58:22.639
come on by. Y'all know what
I'm about. Just come on by

770
00:58:22.719 --> 00:58:27.320
and chill and enjoy the oscars.
Come on by. Okay, I'm sure

771
00:58:27.360 --> 00:58:30.599
he'd have plenty of celebrities come by. Seth MacFarland would come by. That

772
00:58:30.639 --> 00:58:32.239
would be enough for me to want
to do it. Yeah, I think

773
00:58:32.440 --> 00:58:37.159
I think you've you've come up with
a solution for Bill Maher, Bill Mark,

774
00:58:37.280 --> 00:58:40.000
How good would the Oscar party next
year be for Bill Maher? You

775
00:58:40.079 --> 00:58:44.679
know, if that'd be an exclusive
guest list, he'd have to be trimming

776
00:58:44.760 --> 00:58:47.679
it down. There'd be many other
agents fired on that day for not getting

777
00:58:47.719 --> 00:58:51.159
them into that party. I want
to get invited just because I came up

778
00:58:51.159 --> 00:58:54.039
with the idea, you should,
That's right. You know what, Maybe

779
00:58:54.079 --> 00:59:00.519
we should switch the the honoree at
the Wienerschnitzel party that we have after Oscars

780
00:59:00.400 --> 00:59:06.199
to Bill Maher. We should,
But Wiener Schnitzel still sponsor and like,

781
00:59:06.360 --> 00:59:09.199
bring the hot dogs and chili.
Oh no, it's it's Bill Maher's Wiener

782
00:59:09.239 --> 00:59:13.360
Schnitzel Oscar party. Okay, I'm
good with that. Let's do that next

783
00:59:13.440 --> 00:59:15.239
year. Yeah, and we don't
need his permission, no, no,

784
00:59:15.039 --> 00:59:20.159
And it's just his party. It's
a party on his behalf. He should

785
00:59:20.159 --> 00:59:22.360
come. It's he's he's he's just
you know, sitting around. Oh,

786
00:59:22.360 --> 00:59:23.760
who's honoring me? Now? Oh, those guys are at Wiener Schnitzel.

787
00:59:23.760 --> 00:59:27.880
If he wants to come, fine, Yeah, I was kind of scheduled

788
00:59:27.960 --> 00:59:30.800
to come, not necessarily, Like, okay, listen to it on the

789
00:59:30.840 --> 00:59:35.639
calendar right now. Next year we're
having the Bill Maher Wisnitzel Oscar party done.

790
00:59:36.280 --> 00:59:39.840
Okay. A couple other people in
the news, celebrities, uh,

791
00:59:40.280 --> 00:59:44.840
people are making a big deal of
Judd Apato saying that Netflix, now that

792
00:59:44.960 --> 00:59:51.480
Netflix is licensing shows from HBO,
think about that digest that it's scary because

793
00:59:51.480 --> 00:59:53.800
you're gonna have fewer new shows.
Of course, of course, because if

794
00:59:53.800 --> 00:59:58.119
you're at if you if you can
grab on those net those HBO shows that

795
00:59:58.239 --> 01:00:00.440
people that that don't subscribe, there's
a lot of people that only have Netflix.

796
01:00:00.599 --> 01:00:05.960
Yeah, they're never going to watch
those HBO shows. Get them now.

797
01:00:05.960 --> 01:00:07.639
You don't have to buy a new
show. It's genius. Netflix,

798
01:00:07.679 --> 01:00:12.280
by the way, is crawling back
and just becoming you know, the unstoppable

799
01:00:12.320 --> 01:00:15.840
number one again after a rough couple
of years of just you know, overspending

800
01:00:16.039 --> 01:00:21.280
and a little shrinkage in the subscribers. So they're they're doing well. Jed

801
01:00:21.440 --> 01:00:23.559
Apatos says, it's scary, but
you know, TV business is scary.

802
01:00:25.119 --> 01:00:29.159
Let's go to the Soho House where
speaking of getting kicked out of parties,

803
01:00:30.920 --> 01:00:35.360
have you been to the Soho House? The exclusive private club? I'm I've

804
01:00:35.440 --> 01:00:37.880
heard of it, though I've heard
of it, like loosely, it's there's

805
01:00:37.880 --> 01:00:42.119
certain private clubs that it's like you
smell the whiff of it, but you're

806
01:00:42.199 --> 01:00:44.199
like, yeah, they're not going
to allow a guy like me in there.

807
01:00:44.480 --> 01:00:51.000
Well maybe maybe not. It's I
don't think it's that expensive to belong

808
01:00:51.079 --> 01:00:55.559
to it. But there's two.
There's a couple of tiers and I went

809
01:00:55.599 --> 01:00:59.880
to the one in West Hollywood,
you know, just invited by a member

810
01:01:00.159 --> 01:01:06.599
have a meal. It wasn't my
scene. Put it this way, this

811
01:01:06.760 --> 01:01:12.519
is where the Duke and Duchess of
Essex met. So the royalty guy,

812
01:01:13.679 --> 01:01:21.079
the redheaded royalty step child, and
the ambitious young actress Megan Markle end up

813
01:01:21.079 --> 01:01:25.760
at the same room at the Soho
House and sparks fly. So it's that

814
01:01:25.880 --> 01:01:30.480
kind of vibe and for a lot
of people, wow, I mean,

815
01:01:30.719 --> 01:01:35.639
it doesn't get better than that.
To me, it leaves me. I

816
01:01:35.719 --> 01:01:37.719
know, the food's not gonna be
there's not gonna be a lot of comfort

817
01:01:37.760 --> 01:01:43.400
food like there is at my country
club that I belonged to down in Seal

818
01:01:43.440 --> 01:01:49.039
Beach. So it's not really I
wasn't, you know I when I after

819
01:01:49.119 --> 01:01:52.039
that, I'll tell you if I
take you to my club, Sam the

820
01:01:52.079 --> 01:01:54.400
way out, you're gonna be asking
how you can become a member. You'll

821
01:01:54.440 --> 01:01:59.239
give me that dazzle. I belong
to two clubs. I don't doubt you

822
01:01:59.360 --> 01:02:01.639
on this one. I don't like
to talk about very expensive, very so

823
01:02:01.719 --> 01:02:07.519
exclusive. It's it's ten times more
exclusive than the Soho House, tens every

824
01:02:07.920 --> 01:02:09.719
the most prestigious person in that Soho
House could ask me to get him a

825
01:02:09.760 --> 01:02:13.239
membership of my club. I could
do it. Probably take a year,

826
01:02:13.840 --> 01:02:15.960
probably take a year, at least
a year. And I've done it,

827
01:02:20.239 --> 01:02:27.000
so uh I'm not. I'm not
that. I have no envy, I

828
01:02:27.079 --> 01:02:30.800
have no fomo over the over the
And I also agree like you like I

829
01:02:30.400 --> 01:02:34.400
don't want me. I'm too much
of a regular guy. Their food,

830
01:02:34.440 --> 01:02:37.320
They're not going to have any comfort
food for me. Uh well, I

831
01:02:37.360 --> 01:02:38.920
have already been there, and I'm
just like get it. I mean,

832
01:02:39.159 --> 01:02:43.079
Hollywood is that way in general.
I usually go to more old school shows

833
01:02:43.199 --> 01:02:47.800
restaurants like Musso and Frank and Polo
Lounge, where at least it's really old

834
01:02:47.840 --> 01:02:52.400
and I'm not worried about the latest
chef. Nothing wrong with the latest chef,

835
01:02:52.960 --> 01:02:54.239
but I don't. It's not my
scene, but a lot of people

836
01:02:54.280 --> 01:02:57.159
love it. And if you want
to be able to invite people to,

837
01:02:57.639 --> 01:03:00.840
you know, a nice private meal. If I think if you're going there

838
01:03:00.920 --> 01:03:06.199
route you want to join the Bungalows, the Hollywood Bungalows. They I have

839
01:03:06.360 --> 01:03:09.840
been there and that was just delightful. I would pay. I would pay

840
01:03:09.880 --> 01:03:13.639
to be a member of that club
if I lived in la I just don't

841
01:03:13.679 --> 01:03:16.159
go there enough, and I live
pretty close to my two clubs are Orange

842
01:03:16.199 --> 01:03:22.719
County. So how do you like
that? So we got? But the

843
01:03:22.760 --> 01:03:25.320
Soho Club the reason why I'm bringing
up they have problems. They could turn

844
01:03:25.360 --> 01:03:29.760
into legal problems. Really, yes, and we're going to talk about that

845
01:03:29.840 --> 01:03:32.639
when we come back on Joe Escolante
Live from Hollywood. Joe A. Scolante

846
01:03:32.719 --> 01:03:37.679
Live from Hollywood. Yes, that's
me, the famous person the trophy.

847
01:03:39.360 --> 01:03:45.480
My wife doesn't like me referring to
myself as the trophy. Is not She's

848
01:03:45.559 --> 01:03:49.840
not done with that, But I'm
just imitating. Andrew disk Clay was the

849
01:03:49.880 --> 01:03:54.760
greatest Instagram these days. Okay,
the Soho, The Soho Club has some

850
01:03:54.920 --> 01:03:59.159
problems, Sam, This is a
celebrity club. Uh. There. It

851
01:03:59.280 --> 01:04:03.360
started out with one place, and
then two, and then three, and

852
01:04:03.480 --> 01:04:09.519
then as they expand then now it's
a publicly traded company. I'm not sure

853
01:04:09.559 --> 01:04:12.639
it's publicly traded, but they have
shares maybe it might be closely held,

854
01:04:12.760 --> 01:04:15.880
but there's shares and that people are
selling. This stock went down, so

855
01:04:15.880 --> 01:04:20.480
I guess it's publicly traded. Yeah, the stock plummeted recently because they've got

856
01:04:20.519 --> 01:04:28.199
a problem. And the problem was
a one of those short selling like newsletter.

857
01:04:28.280 --> 01:04:30.840
Maybe it was like people who are
like, what kind of companies are

858
01:04:30.880 --> 01:04:34.880
going to go down? You could
short sell them. Yeah, they targeted

859
01:04:34.920 --> 01:04:41.920
them and say they might have a
problem on their hands. Not unlike eerily

860
01:04:42.039 --> 01:04:46.000
similar to We Work. I don't
know if you've seen the we Work documentary

861
01:04:46.280 --> 01:04:54.360
that's on the streaming service, where
there was a it's a place for communal

862
01:04:54.440 --> 01:05:00.679
workspace building okay, and they were
They came on with a splash and they

863
01:05:00.880 --> 01:05:08.360
crashed and burned so much so that
there's a you know, documentary series about

864
01:05:08.400 --> 01:05:12.079
them. So anyway, they're saying
they're fighting this, saying this is we

865
01:05:12.119 --> 01:05:15.960
don't We're not having these problems that
people say we're having, but they did.

866
01:05:15.159 --> 01:05:25.000
You can imagine the exclusivity that comes
with owning a membership. You know,

867
01:05:25.079 --> 01:05:29.079
you have your your your feeling of
specialness. And as the club expands

868
01:05:29.199 --> 01:05:35.239
and pretty soon there are let me
see two hundred thousand members. Wow,

869
01:05:35.280 --> 01:05:38.679
because I told you before the break, I belonged to the couple. I

870
01:05:38.719 --> 01:05:42.760
have two clubs. None of them
approached anything like that kind of membership,

871
01:05:43.159 --> 01:05:45.760
none of them. And two hundred
thousand. There are forty two locations.

872
01:05:46.519 --> 01:05:49.360
But here's the numbers. It's not
that much money if you want to be

873
01:05:49.639 --> 01:05:56.320
exclusive. Uh two nine and twenty
pounds a year, So that's like three

874
01:05:56.440 --> 01:05:58.960
thousand, five hundred. Maybe I'm
just I don't have no idea, but

875
01:05:59.039 --> 01:06:04.679
I'm just thrown out numbers. Okay, then maybe thirty seven hundred. I

876
01:06:04.760 --> 01:06:08.920
mean, I think there's there's there's
very few people that couldn't manage that if

877
01:06:08.960 --> 01:06:12.199
that was a priority to them.
Now, the problem is once you pay

878
01:06:12.239 --> 01:06:16.320
that got to get a reservation and
you gotta go. You can't just walk

879
01:06:16.360 --> 01:06:19.159
in. Oh look, mister Zia, good to see you. Mister.

880
01:06:19.400 --> 01:06:23.880
Your table's ready. Membership has its
privileges. It's not like that at all.

881
01:06:24.360 --> 01:06:27.559
It is, oh, you're here, we're a bit full, right

882
01:06:27.599 --> 01:06:33.159
now, have a seat and you're
gonna wait. Some guy summed it all

883
01:06:33.280 --> 01:06:38.320
up in a video online said,
love it when two hundred pounds leaves my

884
01:06:38.400 --> 01:06:42.199
bank account, which just be his
monthly thing, I guess, and then

885
01:06:42.199 --> 01:06:46.760
I'm told to wait four hours for
a table at three pm? That can

886
01:06:46.880 --> 01:06:49.840
you know? And that that's okay
if you really love it, and you

887
01:06:49.920 --> 01:06:54.480
know, you're just feel you're lucky
to be involved in a member of this

888
01:06:54.559 --> 01:06:58.559
club. But it's a problem.
And I do run into this problem at

889
01:06:58.559 --> 01:07:00.119
one of my clubs, and one
of my clubs is sometimes more popular than

890
01:07:00.159 --> 01:07:04.920
others, and I can't get a
reservation when I need it. So when

891
01:07:04.920 --> 01:07:08.679
you're inviting someone, hey, come
with me, we're going to do this,

892
01:07:08.880 --> 01:07:11.519
and then you get there and they
say you have to wait. Well,

893
01:07:11.559 --> 01:07:15.679
I thought you're I thought you're like
a member, And then the awkwardness

894
01:07:15.719 --> 01:07:18.760
starts, like so wait you you're
a member, but you have to wait?

895
01:07:19.039 --> 01:07:21.800
Yeah, well yes, you know
they're they're a big back that you

896
01:07:21.840 --> 01:07:26.159
have to wait four hours? Well
yes, wait, who is that?

897
01:07:26.480 --> 01:07:29.480
Isn't that Alec Baldwin just walked by
and got a table? Well yes,

898
01:07:29.599 --> 01:07:33.480
yeah, but you know, I
think he works here, after all the

899
01:07:33.519 --> 01:07:39.599
stuff he's been through, he he
works here. So that's a problem when

900
01:07:39.599 --> 01:07:44.360
you're going to bring someone into these
private clubs. I went to the Bungalows

901
01:07:44.400 --> 01:07:46.519
Hollywood bungalows, and you know they
someone was trying to whine and dine me

902
01:07:46.599 --> 01:07:53.400
on that particular day. Big misnake
on their part. But anyway it happened.

903
01:07:53.840 --> 01:07:56.599
We had a great time. And
even if I can't do a lot

904
01:07:56.639 --> 01:07:58.960
of business for you, Sam,
I'm going to dazzle you at lunch with

905
01:07:59.360 --> 01:08:02.039
my weird resume. Me and people
are there there, there's lawyers in their

906
01:08:02.079 --> 01:08:06.760
mouths, their jaws weren't the table. But I didn't bring him any business

907
01:08:08.239 --> 01:08:11.480
in the end. Oh, did
you hear my watch? I got dead

908
01:08:11.719 --> 01:08:15.760
that. I guess we could use
this now as a radio tool. Is

909
01:08:15.800 --> 01:08:20.039
that Mickey Mouse's voice? Yeah?
Wow, Mickey Mouse now in the public

910
01:08:20.079 --> 01:08:27.079
domain? Right? Is his voice? Good question? Only the silent film

911
01:08:27.800 --> 01:08:31.319
of playing Crazy is in there?
Yeah? And then the steamboat Willie the

912
01:08:31.439 --> 01:08:35.680
voices in there. We made a
I'll get back to the club. I

913
01:08:35.920 --> 01:08:41.239
know, I got like two minutes
left little commercial. I made a Steamboat

914
01:08:41.239 --> 01:08:45.079
Willie Vandals T shirt, biggest selling
shirt in decades. Nice. If you

915
01:08:45.119 --> 01:08:51.640
go to the the you go to
vandals dot com or the Facebook page for

916
01:08:51.720 --> 01:08:57.840
this show, you can you can
get one sold out in Japan before we

917
01:08:57.920 --> 01:09:00.079
even before the doors were open.
Wow, Yeah, it's done. It

918
01:09:00.199 --> 01:09:03.800
was like the day before that was
up in that so Old anyway, So

919
01:09:06.520 --> 01:09:11.680
SOHO club's got a problem on their
hands because if they can't deliver what they've

920
01:09:11.800 --> 01:09:15.239
promised in the agreement and it comes
down to the agreement, it might say,

921
01:09:15.279 --> 01:09:17.399
hey, you're going to have a
weight and you can't sue, but

922
01:09:17.520 --> 01:09:20.319
it becomes a fraud act, like
a consumer fraud act. If you're selling

923
01:09:20.760 --> 01:09:25.159
membership and membership is a lusory,
that's a legal term there for you,

924
01:09:25.520 --> 01:09:30.000
the lusory. If their privileges are
I lusory because you cannot get a table

925
01:09:30.079 --> 01:09:35.079
within four hours, then it could
be a consumer fraud and that could be

926
01:09:35.159 --> 01:09:41.279
a problem with them. And so
we'll kind of follow the story. And

927
01:09:42.000 --> 01:09:44.239
one of the problems is they don't
allow bankers in. Then they kind of

928
01:09:44.279 --> 01:09:47.760
public about it. Now they're going
around trying to borrow money to people that

929
01:09:47.840 --> 01:09:50.880
they won't let in their club.
Yeah, so this is a little shad

930
01:09:50.920 --> 01:09:56.840
and freud for all these people that
could use a little on Palm Sunday and

931
01:09:57.039 --> 01:10:00.319
I will now leave you just a
taste of the greatest song ever written
