And Uh, tonight, I 29 00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:45.879 want to start with something uh that affects the entertainment 30 00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:53.319 industry and it involves the Jost Josh Altman from a 31 00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:56.239 million dollar listening. Anyone seen that show? 32 00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:56.640 You guys? 33 00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:03.239 No, out of my text, I'm in the two point 34 00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:07.040 four million dollar listing shows because a million dollar listing 35 00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:13.479 I mean, I'm right series, Oh, Squatter's Rights would be 36 00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:18.039 a good TV show. It would. I spend a lot 37 00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:22.960 of time in squats as a youth because the punk 38 00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:28.639 rock tours, the early punk rock tours of were centered 39 00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:31.879 around squats. You would play a squat like you go 40 00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:33.759 to Amsterdam and there was that was one of the 41 00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:38.120 most famous ones, Van Hall Squat. You play there. First 42 00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:41.000 of all, you show up and you sleep there and 43 00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:43.439 whereever your show is might be their day early two 44 00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:45.439 days early, and they give you a place to sleep, 45 00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:48.520 and it's it's like a big Dutch building that they've 46 00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:53.960 taken over, the anarchiss and they have places to live upstairs, 47 00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:56.520 you know, which are kind of gross, but there's you know, 48 00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:58.759 the go ahead, the band is coming. That's mental mattress 49 00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:00.719 for them, you know. So you got a mattress, and 50 00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:03.159 then you have if you're lucky, someone will let you 51 00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:05.120 use their propane tanks. You can hook it up to 52 00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:08.120 the to the water and make hot water come out 53 00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:14.599 of the plumbing because they're essentially stealing all the uh 54 00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:20.120 the the services from the city and then they can't 55 00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:22.919 get hot water. So you if you have a propane tank, 56 00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:30.240 you could make that. And then then you have a show, 57 00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:36.039 and then you they charge money to get in there. 58 00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:38.840 Like the squad will have like the Vanhall squat in Amstagram, 59 00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:41.520 it would have a like a club on the bottom floor, 60 00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:46.080 look like a normal club, stage, sound system, a bar 61 00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:52.800 selling alcohol and and then then at the next day 62 00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:54.759 you wake up and you find out how the people 63 00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:56.639 are fighting with each other about who got to put 64 00:03:56.680 --> 00:03:59.319 on the show, because it's you know, it's a paradise, 65 00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:04.960 these squats, utopia. Everybody's equal. And then you just watch 66 00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:08.039 them fight with each other, and then you see what 67 00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:11.120 they do for money, which is usually sell drugs or 68 00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:16.439 steal bicycles as it was over there and steal bicycles 69 00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:18.680 and you know, rehab them and sell them. It's a 70 00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:22.879 wonderful world. Nikki, I'm glad you're interested in it, and 71 00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:24.519 then we would go to the next town and go 72 00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:27.240 to that squad. A next town and go to that squad. 73 00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:29.240 Then wait, you know what you do. Here's a little 74 00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:31.279 pro tip if you're going on one of these squad tours. 75 00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:34.560 I don't even know if they do them anymore, get 76 00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:36.839 all the McDonald's wrappers out of your van before you 77 00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:41.199 show up to the squad because they don't like that stuff. 78 00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:43.199 It's good advice. 79 00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:48.920 Yeah, so, oh, my gosh, paid my dues there, I'll 80 00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:54.800 tell you and let's see. Oh, then there's in Denmark 81 00:04:54.839 --> 00:05:02.839 there's a squat called Christiana and it's a whole like 82 00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:05.759 city block where just it's a giant part of the 83 00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:07.519 city that they just took over and they made their 84 00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:12.519 own city. Now in Christianity. They have their own movie theater, 85 00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:17.480 they have like like a four star restaurant, they have 86 00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:22.160 their own currency so you can, you know, buy and 87 00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:22.959 sell marijuana. 88 00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:24.920 Nice. 89 00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:29.759 Uh that was interesting. But the whole time you're like, 90 00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:33.680 is this, where's the hotel? That was our I. 91 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:36.639 Would kill for the crossover episode between Million Dollar Listing 92 00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:39.879 and Squatters Rights, our new proposed series. But what happened 93 00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:44.519 on them on this this guy's a million dollar program. 94 00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:47.240 Well, this guy is you know, he's people listen to him, 95 00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:52.199 and he's an experts. He's saying that after the aftermath 96 00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:55.959 of the devastating wildfires in Pacific Palisades in Malibu, he 97 00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:59.639 estimated that up to seventy percent of residents might not 98 00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:05.839 return due to financial challenges, including under insurance, high construction costs, 99 00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:12.920 and he emphasized that you need to streamline building processes 100 00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:17.160 and reduce bureauraic obstacles to support the affected homeowners. And 101 00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:19.199 then like Trump flew in and just kind of mimicked 102 00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:21.879 that exactly thing. So we're gonna there are no more rules. 103 00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:24.360 We're gonna build whatever we want to build, and we're 104 00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:29.040 gonna build it fast, which is, you know, it's the 105 00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:30.639 only way they're gonna be able to build anything is 106 00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:34.360 by getting rid of these regulations, especially the Coastal Commission. 107 00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:36.839 I was I was loving to listening to President Trump 108 00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:39.759 rail on the Coastal Commission because they are a pain 109 00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:45.360 in the ass. Now, like he says, they're talking like 110 00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:48.480 a thousand dollars per square foot to build in places 111 00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:52.000 like Palasuits in Malibu. Okay, so that's that's if you 112 00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:54.199 have a if you had a five thousand square foot home, 113 00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:58.439 that would be five thousand times one thousand. I don't 114 00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:01.879 know what that is. I guess it's fine million. And 115 00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:04.839 that's just for the construction costs to rebuild, you know, 116 00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:08.040 it doesn't count the price of your land. Most people, 117 00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:11.199 what you want is a one square foot home and 118 00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:15.079 then it's only a thousand. But those are hard to find. 119 00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:18.319 So with most people heavily under insured and the construction 120 00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:21.480 costs skyrocketing, it's just not feasible. 121 00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:21.920 He says. 122 00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:25.800 His groom prediction is compounded by the logistical nightmare of 123 00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:27.839 rebuilding amidst in an area that looks more like a 124 00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:31.720 war zone full of burned out buildings, ash coating the 125 00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:35.800 area and toxic chemicals everywhere. Getting construction crews to show 126 00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:37.839 up at your site is going to be nearly impossible 127 00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:42.079 when sixteen thousand structures have been destroyed. Can you imagine 128 00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:45.759 that you call the construction guy and how do you 129 00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:53.000 become one of the sixteen thousand? Like, how do you 130 00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:55.920 get to the top of that list? It's just horrific. 131 00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:59.680 I was talking with our good friend and your mortal enemy, 132 00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:00.639 Matt money Smith. 133 00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:04.199 Oh the evil Matt money Smith, Yes, sitting pretty in 134 00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:05.920 his Coastal Seal beach ho. 135 00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:06.360 Yes. 136 00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:09.240 We were talking about issues that he's had with the 137 00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:13.160 Coastal Commission and everything like that, and how it's not like, 138 00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:16.079 you know, people look at incidents and events like this 139 00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:19.279 as being highly traumatic because of the fire, but really 140 00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:21.240 what ends up happening is you end up getting re 141 00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:24.519 traumatized by the insurance process and the problem. Like you're 142 00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:27.879 at your as a homeowner, your house is gone and 143 00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:31.560 you're at your most vulnerable, and now you're in a 144 00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:34.600 position where you get re traumatized by the process of 145 00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:37.240 trying to rebuild. I got I get a feeling that's 146 00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:38.639 part of the reason why there's a lot of people 147 00:08:38.679 --> 00:08:40.279 who are just like, we're not going to come back, 148 00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:43.200 because it's not just like you. You know, there's the 149 00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:46.120 trauma of having to see all of your favorite landmarks 150 00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:48.840 not be there anymore and be burnt down and look 151 00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:51.720 like a war zone. But then there's the trauma of 152 00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:55.919 getting retraumatized by the insurance companies who are putting hurdles 153 00:08:55.960 --> 00:08:59.679 in your way when you're at your most vulnerable, and or. 154 00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:04.200 The Commission or listening to the evil Matt money Smith 155 00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:07.840 telling you while he's sitting in his beautiful home it 156 00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:10.720 was untouched. But I have to in Matt money Smith's 157 00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:17.080 uh defense. He's my neighbor and we had a one 158 00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:21.759 acre fire in Los Amadows here and so we are 159 00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:25.519 both fire affected now, so just one you know, one 160 00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:28.639 acre and looking up on the news, it is true. 161 00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:32.240 Get the watch Duty app. That that's where I found it. 162 00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:33.399 That's watch app. 163 00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:36.360 I know everybody got that app and it's like now 164 00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:39.519 they're glued to it. So it's a lot of people 165 00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:43.799 are checking the app to see how the rain impacted 166 00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:44.320 the fires. 167 00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:48.120 Nikki, how's things? How are things going in in out 168 00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:48.720 of Poland? 169 00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:51.720 Yeah, I actually did. 170 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:54.399 Uh you know, I hadn't seen my dad since I 171 00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:57.000 dropped off some stuff for him, like about a week 172 00:09:57.039 --> 00:09:59.360 and a half ago. So I went over today with 173 00:09:59.399 --> 00:10:02.240 a friend who's actually coming from out of town. She's 174 00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:05.519 getting the craziest LA experience ever. It's like rainy and 175 00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:08.200 gloomy for the first time all year. And I just 176 00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:12.679 gave her a little tour through Altadena. Not pretty, not pretty. 177 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:18.639 How my friend did not lose his home in altadid 178 00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:21.960 He had a big, giant home there, big spread and 179 00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:25.000 he did, so he went back after they let them 180 00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:28.039 go back in and they go start cleaning up, and 181 00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:31.159 they realized their home was was was saved, but they 182 00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:34.799 couldn't live in it. Yeah, it was too much smoke, 183 00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:38.120 the pool was destroyed, They couldn't breathe, you know, the 184 00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:41.720 the it was unsafe to live in. So they had 185 00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:44.679 to go get a rental six thousand a month for 186 00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:48.519 a two bedroom apartment and they were they were lucky 187 00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:52.399 to get it. So, uh, yeah, it's it's it's it's 188 00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:53.240 pretty rough out there. 189 00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:55.799 Here's another thing that I've noticed. I've noticed people who 190 00:10:55.879 --> 00:11:00.480 are currently in living situations getting their sixty day notices 191 00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:03.159 because there's a lot of people who are owners of 192 00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:05.600 these properties who want to get people out so that 193 00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:08.320 they can charge people more because of the fighters. 194 00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:10.720 Yeah, that's that's pretty ugly. 195 00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:14.840 We're reaching for some pretty desperate times right now. 196 00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:15.759 Yeah. 197 00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:18.919 Yeah, Well, it's going to affect the show business as 198 00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:21.080 if there was any production here anyway, There isn't, but 199 00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:23.759 the people that work in it's going to be kind 200 00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:25.480 of just like COVID. People are gonna have to move 201 00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:29.159 away and work remotely again because there's nowhere to live. 202 00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:31.960 I invite everybody to go where I'm building a home 203 00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:39.000 in the Kotino Complex, our development in Rancho Mirage. Now, 204 00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:43.240 Kotino is being built by the Disney Company and it's 205 00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:47.919 underway and there's I think there's about fifteen homes available 206 00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:52.840 right now. They keep going in phases and it's fricking amazing. 207 00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:56.080 So that's just my suggestion. 208 00:11:57.240 --> 00:12:00.200 Ktino looks really nice. 209 00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:01.399 You checking that out? 210 00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:04.000 Yeah, I'm looking at well, I mean, you know, daydreaming 211 00:12:04.039 --> 00:12:05.639 over here, but really pretty. 212 00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:09.879 Yeah, yeah, you got to.

If by Hollywood you mean Burbank. Okay, 217 00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:28.360 we're going to go to the movies right now. Movies 218 00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:30.639 number one of the box office this week, Flight Risk, 219 00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:36.120 and that is it's like mel Gibson and Mark Wahlberg. 220 00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:40.559 Uh you know, isn't that the one with Mark Wahlberg 221 00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:42.080 They shaved his head and made them bald. 222 00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:44.759 I don't know, I haven't seen it, but I just 223 00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:47.960 know they have a movie and it shows you these 224 00:12:47.960 --> 00:12:50.360 are this is this is like you know, red This 225 00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:54.080 is a Red State movie. But it's number one and 226 00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:57.320 did twelve million in the box office, So that's still 227 00:12:57.320 --> 00:13:01.120 a good business. Mel Gibson is still a good business. 228 00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:04.440 Mufasa the Lion King number two, she's making a ton 229 00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:08.919 of money with the fake animals. Three is one of 230 00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:14.679 them days with the African American comedians. 231 00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:18.600 Palmer yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, we like her, right, 232 00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:19.480 m hm. 233 00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:23.159 Well, it just shows you that there's just a diverse 234 00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:27.440 box office audience out there. We got the the right 235 00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:31.279 wingers are in the top three. We have the African 236 00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:36.000 Americans number three, the animals, you know, everybody, Sonic the 237 00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:41.480 Hedgehog number four, Moana twot number two, huge movie, the 238 00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:45.559 movie Presence. I'm shocked at this new first week, it 239 00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:51.399 is number six. This one is like a psychological thriller. 240 00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:52.519 I think you would call it. 241 00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:56.240 Oh yeah, oh, actually that's very interesting. Lucy los in it. 242 00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:58.559 I think I think she's like one of the moms 243 00:13:58.600 --> 00:13:58.799 in this. 244 00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:01.639 I saw the trailer when I went to the theater 245 00:14:02.200 --> 00:14:04.879 like last week, and it looked interesting. 246 00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:09.519 Yeah, So that's a pretty good showing for that from 247 00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:12.960 Neon Pictures, Wolfman from Universal that just sounds funny to me, 248 00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:19.080 wolf Man from Universal Pictures, seven, A Complete Unknown number eight, 249 00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:21.919 then of These Part two, number nine, and The Brutalist 250 00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:24.559 coming in at three hours and forty minutes from A 251 00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:28.279 twenty four at number ten. I have that on my 252 00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:30.679 streamer thing, but I haven't. I just can't. 253 00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:31.639 Not yet. 254 00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:36.240 Adrian Brody gonna win an Academy Award or something like that. 255 00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:38.879 I don't know. Oh, he's going to be nominated. But 256 00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:44.279 it's in the hunt, all right. So before I tell me, 257 00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:48.039 tell you the movie I saw, Nikki. You saw a 258 00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:49.039 prominent movie, didn't you. 259 00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:51.399 I saw two movies this week, but the one I 260 00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:54.559 saw at USC it was like a special screening. Was 261 00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:57.039 called The Girl with the Needle, made last year, but 262 00:14:57.080 --> 00:15:00.000 it's Denmark's entry to the twenty twenty five Academy Awards. 263 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.159 It's her best international feature this year, and it's based 264 00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:07.600 on a true story of a serial killer who was 265 00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:14.080 active after two thousand, after World War One, who killed invants. 266 00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:19.279 Though that was really crazy that it's true. It's true, yes, 267 00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:20.519 true story. 268 00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:23.440 It's these Danish people is what they do. 269 00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:28.879 Well. It's interesting because I guess this situation that happened 270 00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:31.879 with a serial killer killing a bunch of infants is 271 00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:34.759 part of why I think that the Danish are like 272 00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:38.720 very strict about birth records and those kinds of policies, 273 00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:41.440 because there was basically none up until this point, and 274 00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:43.320 then they realized, you know, they weren't keeping track of 275 00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:46.320 these births that were just uh getting handed over to 276 00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:48.919 this lady, so they had really no way of tracking down. 277 00:15:49.039 --> 00:15:50.840 Who you know. I think she was accused of like 278 00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:51.879 twenty five murders. 279 00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:54.279 Uh, And it's it's kind of a funny not a 280 00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:57.120 funny story here, but the I would to go see 281 00:15:57.120 --> 00:16:01.639 it because anytime there's a Polish name associated with anything prominent, 282 00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:02.960 my dad gets an email. 283 00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:06.320 So I happen to see it. So this was like 284 00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:07.519 a Polish co production. 285 00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:10.840 And the director I think he was Danish, but he 286 00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:14.679 moved to Poland. He was partially inspired to make this 287 00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:17.440 film because when he moved to Poland to study or 288 00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:21.879 continue filmmaking, he was very shortly afterwards he was robbed 289 00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:25.200 and that experience made him very fascinated. This is his 290 00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:29.320 quote with violent people, So I guess that's a really 291 00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:32.559 great way to spin getting robbed it's like, you know, 292 00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:34.399 you know what, getting robbed was actually the best thing 293 00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:36.159 that ever happened to me in my career, because now 294 00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:37.840 I love violent people. 295 00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:43.399 The other the other film I saw was called Baby Girl. 296 00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:47.440 This is the Nicole Kidman movie about a high profile 297 00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:52.679 girl boss CEO who has a thing for this young intern. 298 00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:55.559 The movie did exactly what it meant to do, so 299 00:16:55.639 --> 00:16:59.600 I didn't think it was trying to do anything unsuccessfully. 300 00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:01.399 I think it it did exactly what I meant to do. 301 00:17:01.799 --> 00:17:05.839 Very obvious dog metaphors with like control in this weird 302 00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:09.480 relationship dynamic. But honestly, half of the movie is just 303 00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:14.039 about telling people to sit back down, like well, there 304 00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:16.640 are so many conversations that are very tense and it's 305 00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:18.680 like no, no, no, no, don't leave the table, let's keep 306 00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:21.640 talking about this. I think about twenty minutes of screen 307 00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:25.440 time is spent on convincing other characters to stay seated 308 00:17:25.559 --> 00:17:27.920 to continue a conversation which. 309 00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:30.400 Was just I'm not done a lot that kind of stuff. 310 00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:32.839 A lot, well kind of it's more just like convincing 311 00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:35.240 people to sit back down, and they all took place 312 00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:39.319 in different scenarios like truly just conversational scenarios, and I 313 00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:41.359 was like, I think, really really poor. 314 00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:45.240 Communication in this film. But I enjoyed it. I probably 315 00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:46.799 wouldn't see it again, but I did enjoy it. 316 00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:50.799 Well, you're on the right track here, because the best 317 00:17:50.839 --> 00:17:57.400 International Academy features were announced and Your Girl with the 318 00:17:57.440 --> 00:18:03.640 Needle was one of them. Kneecap movie was I was robbed. 319 00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:04.519 They were no. 320 00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:08.160 Really, that's a shame they got nothing. Oh you know 321 00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:11.319 this show loves kneecap, so that's a bummer. 322 00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:14.119 Yes. So last night I saw I went to a 323 00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:18.200 premiere at the Bay Theater. It was the in Seal Beach. 324 00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:20.480 It was the opening of the Bay Theater after being 325 00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:24.960 closed for like twelve years for renovation and fifteen years, 326 00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:27.640 no since two thousand and six, it's been closed eighteen years. 327 00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:29.920 And they opened the theater with the movie of the 328 00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:34.000 Harbor Chronicles, a documentary about the longest running surf shop 329 00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:38.200 in world history, which actually is right across the street 330 00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:41.960 from the theater coincidentally, and it's still there, Harbor Surfboard. 331 00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:45.880 You've probably seen the Harbor Surf shirts around and featuring 332 00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:50.480 writer Joe Ascalante on this documentary. So wow, first time 333 00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:53.480 I've had a movie that I've written that had an 334 00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:58.319 actual premiere and so it was super fun.

It's kind 341 00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:14.920 of like a one film film festival at that Bay 342 00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:18.559 Theater right now on Main Street and Seal Beach.

I 374 00:21:24.119 --> 00:21:26.920 woke up three times just too, you know, so I 375 00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:30.480 could follow the story. That's a joke stolen from the 376 00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:35.079 Golden Globes. But Amelia Perez number is also nominated from 377 00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:38.960 Netflix Stupid Movie. So far, I haven't been able to 378 00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:41.359 get through. Its just it's just stupid. You know what 379 00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:42.920 this is. I don't know if you guys have seen it. 380 00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:43.359 Have you seen it? 381 00:21:43.359 --> 00:21:44.440 Which one? Which one? 382 00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:45.880 Amelia Perez. 383 00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:48.319 I don't want to see it. 384 00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:49.759 I think if I see it, I need to be 385 00:21:49.799 --> 00:21:52.359 really drunk, because then I would have an amazing time. 386 00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:54.319 You would, you would have an amazing time, or maybe 387 00:21:54.359 --> 00:22:03.039 smoke d MT. Okay, okay, now the it's so stupid. 388 00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:04.880 You're just going Okay, I get it. You're trying to 389 00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:08.640 challenge me and see if I can sit through your 390 00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:12.440 stupid movie. Well you win. I couldn't do it. I'm 391 00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:14.319 still here. Never heard about it. I've never heard of 392 00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:17.200 it until today. We'll check out it later, Nickel boys. 393 00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:22.039 Maybe maybe not the substance first, other than the last 394 00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:27.200 thirty minutes. It's the best picture a possibility. Then then 395 00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:30.119 the last thirty minutes. Last thirty minutes, it's a teen 396 00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:35.680 horror movie. Even Nicky producer Nicky would be too mature 397 00:22:35.720 --> 00:22:37.680 for disagree. 398 00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:40.599 Wicked, but we'll continue. Then. 399 00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:45.519 Wicked is the final nominee, which is so good. Only 400 00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:47.799 three people walked out of it and well in the 401 00:22:47.960 --> 00:22:50.759
