Speaker 1: Joe Escalante live from Hollywood. If by Hollywood you mean Burbank.
Speaker 1: It is two hours of a business, end of show business.
Speaker 1: Whether it's movies or TV, or books or sports, we
Speaker 1: do it all here. I'm joined by my engineer and
Speaker 1: producer Sam. Sam. How are you doing.
Speaker 2: I'm okay. I'm hanging in there. Had a decent week.
Speaker 1: Good. We'll get into whether you saw any movies or
Speaker 1: not a little bit later. What We got a lot
Speaker 1: of things going on today. Minecraft continues to make news
Speaker 1: and money and Kneecap your host's favorite band at Coachella
Speaker 1: is in a lot of trouble, Sam, I've heard. We'll
Speaker 1: explore the concerning decline in film and TV production in
Speaker 1: Southern California and Snoop Dogg's new deal at NBC Universal Universal,
Speaker 1: And in our Celebs Behaving badly segment Shocking development Sam
Speaker 1: in the Shannon Sharp lawsuit, including a disturbing audio recording
Speaker 1: that we might even be able to listen to tonight
Speaker 1: and leak to our listeners.
Speaker 2: I'm disturbed.
Speaker 1: Plus, we have updates on the missing person at Disneyland
Speaker 1: was reported missing.
Speaker 2: Someone was missing at Disneyland. They were missing and intentionally.
Speaker 1: It started as a family squabble and turned into a
Speaker 1: big missing person's case.
Speaker 2: Wait, so somebody it became a giant game of hide
Speaker 2: and seek. Then that's what I'm guessing's.
Speaker 1: Exactly what happens to.
Speaker 2: That's kind of cool.
Speaker 1: And we'll have a frank discussion about who should be
Speaker 1: the next pope, because I think we might have some
Speaker 1: influence before those guys get locked into the conclave. We
Speaker 1: might be able to persuade one or two of them.
Speaker 1: Now poison the uh, we're poisoning the voting pool and
Speaker 1: the conclave. That's what we're doing.
Speaker 2: And everybody knows all of the cardinals huge fans of life.
Speaker 1: From Hollywood, a lot of them, a lot of them.
Speaker 1: They're English is a second or third language. They don't
Speaker 1: get as much out of it as the popes from
Speaker 1: the English speaking languages. But we know the listen. Plus
Speaker 1: we'll have updates on nothing else. That's it. That's what
Speaker 1: a terrible showy. You know what though right now we're
Speaker 1: getting to it. By the end, you might want to
Speaker 1: change a channel. But for now, let's dive into the
Speaker 1: festival season is officially begun. Music festival season begins with
Speaker 1: Coachella two weeks of Coachella and one weekend of Stagecoach,
Speaker 1: and this year national news was made on the front
Speaker 1: of a band that you heard on this show. I
Speaker 1: don't know anyone else that has interviewed this band in
Speaker 1: the whole country, but we got an interview with them.
Speaker 1: And they are called knee Cap and they are from
Speaker 1: Northern Ireland and they are a hyper political band in
Speaker 1: a sense. But I didn't really notice it because I
Speaker 1: thought everybody in Northern Ireland hates the British and it's
Speaker 1: not even I mean, if you don't know anything about
Speaker 1: Northern Ireland, Northern Ireland is ruled by Great Britain and
Speaker 1: regular in Ireland is ruled by Regular Irish. So they
Speaker 1: don't like the Queen. They don't like Prince William, Prince Harry.
Speaker 1: Actually they probably like the Queen the way she is now,
Speaker 1: but they don't like the King. And of course that's
Speaker 1: been going on for a long time. So there's a
Speaker 1: rap band that surfaced last couple of years called Kneecap,
Speaker 1: and I found out about them because they made a
Speaker 1: movie where they started in their own movie. You might
Speaker 1: think that's a terrible idea, but they were great actors.
Speaker 1: And they got training, like six months worth of intents
Speaker 1: of intensive acting training. Sam I was in a TV
Speaker 1: show once where I was the star of a sitcom
Speaker 1: called Fear of a Punk Planet and I had an
Speaker 1: intense three week acting course.
Speaker 2: How intense was this acting course?
Speaker 1: It was just go to the lady about three times
Speaker 1: and she's like, who just kind of worked. I already
Speaker 1: had a script and I had to say these lines.
Speaker 1: It was like, we're just working with this particular script.
Speaker 1: She didn't make me like, you know, do weird exercises
Speaker 1: like sit in a circle with people and go like
Speaker 1: this is something, this is nothing, this is something, this
Speaker 1: is nothing, something, nothing, something nothing. We didn't play games
Speaker 1: like that. We just got right to the script.
Speaker 2: It sounds intense.
Speaker 1: It was intense. You can find episodes of this on
Speaker 1: the internet on YouTube. Some of them are on their
Speaker 1: Fear of a Punk Planet. Check it out. See. Let
Speaker 1: me know if I'm a good actor, but I'm certainly
Speaker 1: not as good as these guys in Kneecap. So they
Speaker 1: made a really good movie. It was an Oscar contention,
Speaker 1: but then it didn't get a nomination, and I think
Speaker 1: I know why. Now these guys are hyper political against
Speaker 1: you know, they want freedom for the people in Northern
Speaker 1: Ireland against the British, and that's been you know, that's
Speaker 1: something called the Troubles, been fighting for a long time.
Speaker 1: But then, as I think, they branched out into other
Speaker 1: political causes and performed at Coachella where I saw them.
Speaker 1: I talked to Jev DJ Proval, the guy that wears
Speaker 1: the mask. He wears like an Irish beanie mask thing
Speaker 1: and that's his stick. And then there's two other guys.
Speaker 1: There are a lot like the Beastie Boys. If you
Speaker 1: like the Beastie Boys at all, you will like these guys.
Speaker 1: But they rap in Gaelic Sam, the traditional language of
Speaker 1: the Irish. And so what the one thing they've done
Speaker 1: is they have caused a trend in Ireland for young
Speaker 1: kids to learn their native language. And people have been
Speaker 1: trying for you know, one hundred years to get kids
Speaker 1: to learn their native language in Ireland. These guys did
Speaker 1: it by becoming a great rap band. I mean genius, right,
Speaker 1: that's how you do it. Then they played in Coachella
Speaker 1: and they started getting real political and they started putting
Speaker 1: stuff up on the screen like you know, uh, basically
Speaker 1: it's the they're on the side of against Israel and
Speaker 1: the Israel Palestinian the Gaza thing they were they put
Speaker 1: up on the on the screen something like when I
Speaker 1: saw them, they it just said the genocide against the
Speaker 1: Palestine people is terrible or whatever. Fight support, blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: I mean, let me ask you, that's that's pretty It
Speaker 1: seem like mainstream politics to you right now.
Speaker 2: It's pretty mainstream at this point. Yeah, a lot of
Speaker 2: people are really attuned to what's happening, and people are
Speaker 2: picking sides. But I mean Irish tend to. I've seen
Speaker 2: soccer games out of Ireland where the crowd themselves are
Speaker 2: chanting chants in allegiance with the Palestinian people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting because they're because of the way that
Speaker 1: they've been treated by the British.
Speaker 2: They understand occupation.
Speaker 1: Yes, right, so that's where they're where they come down.
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you, I don't I don't really have
Speaker 1: a side in this dogfight. I don't have a dog
Speaker 1: in this hunt. They say. I look at it, and
Speaker 1: I listen to one podcast and I go, yeah, that
Speaker 1: sounds right. And then I listen to a podcast or
Speaker 1: that they say the opposite and I go, ah, that
Speaker 1: sounds right. I'm not even smart enough to know, you know,
Speaker 1: uh where to come down on this one. I'm just
Speaker 1: not so I don't. But I certainly wouldn't stand on
Speaker 1: stage and say, uh, free Palestine, f Israel.
Speaker 2: Now, even Coachella, like the live stream censored that part out,
Speaker 2: but it's still appeared on other people's streams throughout social media.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I probably got it on my phone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I didn't put it. I wouldn't. I wouldn't put that.
Speaker 1: I put some pictures of me on it on there,
Speaker 1: and like someone like Greg Gutfeld that Fox News I showed.
Speaker 1: I go, hey, this man was really good. But I
Speaker 1: think there's a controversy. This is before we can too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: then after we can too. He goes, you don't post that,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, way too late, I'm already there, so
Speaker 1: but I just don't. I don't agree. Well, my this's
Speaker 1: my question to you, Sam and the listeners. Even has
Speaker 1: there ever been a band where you you disagreed with
Speaker 1: your politics but you liked them anyway?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, Metallica. Typically there's a couple of bands out
Speaker 2: there that I still have a deep amount of appreciation
Speaker 2: for but I don't have to agree with their politics.
Speaker 2: I mean, the way I've always looked at it is
Speaker 2: like you can have an opinion, but you don't need
Speaker 2: to adopt other people's problems. Yes, right, and this is one.
Speaker 1: What they did. They they bid off quite a chunk,
Speaker 1: but now they're in a corner.
Speaker 2: But they also understand that this is something like a
Speaker 2: problem that they have in common with the Palestinian people.
Speaker 2: So it's hard for them to not speak up about it,
Speaker 2: especially when they're on that big of a stage in
Speaker 2: a country that has that much influence.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, and they were influencing people. There were people
Speaker 1: in the audience with Irish flags and you know they're
Speaker 1: fighting the British, and then there are Palestinian flags in
Speaker 1: the audience, and you know it's I mean, it's just
Speaker 1: I think people can have sincere, sincerely had beliefs on
Speaker 1: both sides, and it's just where you are, We are
Speaker 1: from your frame of reference, and these guys, their frame
Speaker 1: of reference is occupation. So they cannot look you know,
Speaker 1: they can't as a political ban, they can't stand by
Speaker 1: while an occupation is taking place. So f Israel, though,
Speaker 1: the reason why I wouldn't say that no matter how
Speaker 1: into it I was, is because that has anti Semitic,
Speaker 1: Nazi connotations because Israel is made up of Jews, it's
Speaker 1: a Jewish state. So but in what they're in their defense,
Speaker 1: they're saying, and they're getting a lot of trouble now,
Speaker 1: a lot of blowback. We'll get more into that after traffic.
Speaker 1: But they are in their defense they're saying, hey, look,
Speaker 1: we don't care what people religion people are. We don't
Speaker 1: care if if Israel is Jewish or whatever they're doing.
Speaker 1: We don't like their policies and what they're doing in
Speaker 1: the aftermath of the attack by the Uh what do
Speaker 1: they call these people? The Hamas? Okay, And you can
Speaker 1: argue over, well they did that because of this. Whatever
Speaker 1: they're saying, I hate, they hate Israel as a as
Speaker 1: a country. They don't hate their religion at all. And
Speaker 1: these are Catholics. I interviewed them, the Roman Catholics. Decent people.
Speaker 1: But you just don't go around saying ef it is
Speaker 1: reel without unless you really want to drop a bomb.
Speaker 1: And they dropped the bomb, and uh sure, yeah, and
Speaker 1: when we come back, I'll tell you what happened to
Speaker 1: them and what the reaction is on this and it
Speaker 1: was on Fox News Channel. I mean it was like,
Speaker 1: I'm watching I just look at the TV and my
Speaker 1: favorite band is like on Fox News Channel. I go, h,
Speaker 1: we're in trouble. I don't know. I don't know what happened,
Speaker 1: you know, I just just don't listen to the A
Speaker 1: lot of time, I don't listen to the politics because
Speaker 1: usually they're just too left for me. Like Crass. Crass
Speaker 1: is an anarchist band and love Crafts. I love how
Speaker 1: they they they fashion their anarchist lyrics. I vehemently disagree
Speaker 1: with their with their politics and almost everything they say,
Speaker 1: but they do it so well. I can't stop listening
Speaker 1: to it. And and I don't know. I hope that
Speaker 1: people can kind of do the same thing forneecap. But
Speaker 1: so we'll find out what happened to them when we
Speaker 1: come back to Joe Scolante Live from Hollywood. Joe Scolante
Speaker 1: Live from Hollywood, and we got a live We had
Speaker 1: a lot of movie stuff. There's there's big movie news
Speaker 1: like more and more coming up. But every week there's
Speaker 1: like things are rapidly changing I feel in the movie world.
Speaker 1: But first I want to get back Toneecap, who is
Speaker 1: kind of being canceled because of their performance at Coachella,
Speaker 1: and Coachella said, hey, they blindsided us. We didn't know
Speaker 1: and you know, and then they So what happened to
Speaker 1: him is after they've said they're basically I think it
Speaker 1: was f Israel was where it pushed the push, pushed
Speaker 1: the limits. They had to complain about the first weekend
Speaker 1: saying they were censored because they went on an anti
Speaker 1: Margaret Thatcher range grant and anti because they did this
Speaker 1: big like, oh we hate Margaret Thatcher and they've got
Speaker 1: all these images behind them, they got a song against her,
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah. So they were trying to
Speaker 1: claim that they were censored because they were, you know,
Speaker 1: they took this brave stand against Margaret Thatcher. And I
Speaker 1: got to tell you that's just not true. I talked
Speaker 1: this over with someone on the inside too, and he's like,
Speaker 1: if they think any of our freaking Generation Z technical
Speaker 1: people know who Margaret Thatcher is, they're out of their minds,
Speaker 1: just don't even know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you mentioned Margaret Thatcher, I can laughed. I chuckled,
Speaker 2: because nobody out here cares about Margaret Thatcher. They they
Speaker 2: have a very strong identity of feelings of whatever feelings
Speaker 2: they have with Margaret Thatcher because they were directly impacted
Speaker 2: by the monarchy. Yeah, I get it. But out here, yeah,
Speaker 2: You're people are gonna be like, yeah, Margaret Thatcher, we're
Speaker 2: still partying here at Coachella exactly.
Speaker 1: So some of the articles you'll read about kneecap getting
Speaker 1: you know, canceled, et cetera, are are just uh, just
Speaker 1: you know, fake news because there there's you know, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of misinformation. The misinformation I's noticed right away
Speaker 1: is that that somebody in Coachella cares about Margaret Margaret Thatcher.
Speaker 1: They don't. But as you said, some of the images
Speaker 1: that they maybe someone said, hey, f Israel, they would
Speaker 1: like if they had a switching station, which they do,
Speaker 1: they might have said, you know what, we don't need
Speaker 1: to someone in there in the radio go like, you
Speaker 1: know what, let's not show the screen right now with
Speaker 1: the f Israel on there, and and that's prudent, and
Speaker 1: that would be a guy that's his job to just
Speaker 1: you know, let's tone it down. I think you could
Speaker 1: say free Palestine all you want, but when you say
Speaker 1: f Israel, and I don't think it's because Israel is
Speaker 1: controlling you know, the universe. I think it's just because
Speaker 1: it's just you know, a the one's violent. One is
Speaker 1: is like you know, passive free Israel, like we would
Speaker 1: like to be free. The other one is f or
Speaker 1: free Palestine. Yeah, we want to be free f Israel.
Speaker 1: Totally different. Yeah, but should they be Okay, maybe a
Speaker 1: wag of the finger for your f Israel, and but
Speaker 1: should should they be ruined? Like Sharon Osborne accus Deecap
Speaker 1: of a hate speech and called for the revocation of
Speaker 1: their US work visas, so she's getten right to federal
Speaker 1: law bring down the federal government on them. Osborne argued
Speaker 1: that music festivals should unite people, not promote hate or
Speaker 1: terrorist organizations. Okay, I I heard him say support Palestine.
Speaker 1: I didn't really hear them say they like the Hamas organization.
Speaker 1: Should you know, send your checks in and your donations in.
Speaker 1: They might feel that way, but it wasn't an over
Speaker 1: writing message. They were trying to get out and they
Speaker 1: got everybody to do a free Palestine chant. But again
Speaker 1: they're drawing parallels between Irish persecution and the situation in Palestine.
Speaker 1: Osborne criticized Coachella organizers for allowing them to perform again,
Speaker 1: so she would like them to basically, I use this
Speaker 1: argument as she would. She believes that because of their
Speaker 1: art and their politics different from hers, she would like
Speaker 1: them to starve to death, like not work, basically, deprive
Speaker 1: them of their right to work, and there up there
Speaker 1: their right to get their message out. That's what where
Speaker 1: Sharon Osborne comes down on this, and I don't agree
Speaker 1: with that. I think you don't either, And I just
Speaker 1: independent from their political message again, which I don't believe.
Speaker 1: I don't believe in their political message. There's great musicians
Speaker 1: and they're caught up in their occupation. Go see the movie.
Speaker 1: You don't have to go now, Sam. The movie Kneecap
Speaker 1: is on Netflix right now for free excellent. If you
Speaker 1: called Netflix free, Yeah, it's on right now. You can
Speaker 1: just push a button and you're watching Kneecap tonight. And
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, audience America and all the ships at
Speaker 1: sea that listen to this show, put on your Netflix
Speaker 1: tonight and watch Kneecap. You're not going to find a
Speaker 1: better movie, I'm telling you. And I've seen some movies.
Speaker 1: So they lost their agent in the US, and Sharon
Speaker 1: Osbourne is is that much closer to getting her wish
Speaker 1: that they starve to death in their and their family
Speaker 1: starve because of their their views. And you know how
Speaker 1: to you know, Ozzy Osbourne is the one who they
Speaker 1: said he was a Satanist for biting a head off
Speaker 1: a bat or something like that, and it was all
Speaker 1: media frenzy. But how quickly they forget that the media,
Speaker 1: you know, causes a frenzy And there's truly a frenzy
Speaker 1: over this when it gets all the way to Fox
Speaker 1: News and you know what, it's just Coachella is a
Speaker 1: great festival. And then you know what, maybe this is
Speaker 1: good for them and Coachella in the long run. I
Speaker 1: don't know, how do you come down on that. Do
Speaker 1: you think this is good for them? Or is it
Speaker 1: going to ruin them and they go home and break up.
Speaker 2: If the President doesn't decide to completely ban them and
Speaker 2: boycott them from the entering the country ever again, then
Speaker 2: I can see I see this as being a plus
Speaker 2: for them because they are getting the attention of people
Speaker 2: who typically would not be attuned to what their messaging is,
Speaker 2: what their music is, who they are and now all
Speaker 2: of a sudden, people know who they are, and there
Speaker 2: are people overnight, Yeah, overnight, and there's a whole bunch
Speaker 2: of people who are like I didn't know that they
Speaker 2: are making songs and putting out messages that I already
Speaker 2: agree with. Yeah, so now they're already being attracted to them.
Speaker 2: The people who are disagreeing with them want to hear
Speaker 2: what they're talking about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what what's this all about?
Speaker 2: Here?
Speaker 1: I gotta check it out.
Speaker 2: So a lot of times you have people out there
Speaker 2: who are.
Speaker 1: Gonna neecap necap necap.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're gonna they're gonna judge them without listening. But
Speaker 2: the thing is, I love what you're doing. You're telling
Speaker 2: them go see the movie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's on Netflix, and you'll understand so much about them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you'll get it, and you'll understand where their perspective is.
Speaker 2: You don't have to agree with them, you don't have
Speaker 2: to adopt their perspective.
Speaker 1: And before this, even before any of this even went down,
Speaker 1: you can look on my list of top ten movies
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty four, number two was kneecapp. It was
Speaker 1: my number two movie of the whole year, and for
Speaker 1: sure the movie that I'd most like to see multiple times,
Speaker 1: so check it out on Netflix. It's just called Meecap,
Speaker 1: named after the band. Yep, Let's take a break, come Back.
Speaker 1: Joe Sclante Live from Hollywood, Joe Us Goolan Teke Live
Speaker 1: from Hollywood. If by Hollywood you mean Burbank. We are
Speaker 1: here every Sunday from five to seven on Los Angeles
Speaker 1: radio station k e I B. And then later Sam
Speaker 1: turns it into a podcast, which is so an MP
Speaker 1: three that you know you can download.
Speaker 2: I save it, I edit it, and then I throw
Speaker 2: it up there. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It takes all the f Israel's out of the show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I add a few more in later.
Speaker 1: Okay, well that's what we're we're But we were just
Speaker 1: talking about Kneecap getting canceled for saying f Israel at Coachella.
Speaker 1: But I know I've said enough about this, But let
Speaker 1: me ask you another question. Because I talked to an
Speaker 1: agent because they lost their agent in the US and
Speaker 1: that's not fun. You know, you're like Pariah canceled. I
Speaker 1: talked to my agent who new were their agent. I
Speaker 1: asked him to go ask him if they've if they
Speaker 1: have any bands in their roster that yell F the USA,
Speaker 1: either in their music or on stage, and I guarantee
Speaker 1: they do, and if they didn't, I guarantee if that
Speaker 1: band did that at Coachella from the main stage for
Speaker 1: an hour, everyone would say how brave, how brave? Yes,
Speaker 1: this country what it does to oppress the world, It's
Speaker 1: an occupying nation, imperialist. I spit on the ground when
Speaker 1: I hear the word USA. It's not even a word,
Speaker 1: and I still split on the ground. I think that's
Speaker 1: just part of rock and roll F the USA, even
Speaker 1: British rock and roll, like Who's it exploited? I think
Speaker 1: they might even have a song called F the Usa,
Speaker 1: Sam and it's all over So do I like it?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: You know what you tell me, you're gonna say F
Speaker 1: the USA. I might go, I don't know if I
Speaker 1: want you to play tonight, yeah, but I'm just it's punk.
Speaker 1: Crop just go do your F the USA. I'm not
Speaker 1: going to do it. And I think the audience of
Speaker 1: the Vandals knows that we don't do F the USA.
Speaker 1: It's not our shtick, and we now may not even
Speaker 1: be as good as the F the USA band, but
Speaker 1: we have the people that appreciate and we don't. We
Speaker 1: don't do that. And one of the reasons why I
Speaker 1: do that is because it's low hanging fruit to to
Speaker 1: to being a rock band and criticize the US government.
Speaker 1: It's just yawn. You know, yawn. I've heard it, and
Speaker 1: I'm not But to your young kid, they don't know
Speaker 1: what's come before them to much showneecaps a half Israel,
Speaker 1: they're occupying this and then, and I think nobody really
Speaker 1: knows what's right or wrong in that region. But all
Speaker 1: I do know is people should have the right to
Speaker 1: have deeply held beliefs, and you know, as long as
Speaker 1: they're not well, they just should. People should just try
Speaker 1: to respect that. See. Okay, you could say, well, I
Speaker 1: don't like them because I don't like kneecaps saying that
Speaker 1: because there were violence. You know, they're promoting violence, blah
Speaker 1: blah blah. Yeah, but an individual and an artist has
Speaker 1: a right to have these deeply felt beliefs that they
Speaker 1: are occupied and there is a genocide. I don't agree
Speaker 1: with that, I really don't. I haven't seen enough. I
Speaker 1: haven't seen enough to make me go like wow, where
Speaker 1: some other podcasts couldn't convince me of the opposite. Because
Speaker 1: everybody's got their arguments and my brain isn't big enough
Speaker 1: to I don't have an AI Google Gemini inside my
Speaker 1: brain to really come up with an answer. I have
Speaker 1: to look at and go, wow, that sounds terrible, and
Speaker 1: then the other side tells me this is well, the
Speaker 1: other side is worse, and I go, you know what,
Speaker 1: At the very least, I'm gonna tell everybody on both sides, yeah,
Speaker 1: I respect your your views, and especially if you're going
Speaker 1: out on a limb and you're gonna risk your career
Speaker 1: for your political beliefs and you don't care. Now, if
Speaker 1: they do care and they came groveling back, then I
Speaker 1: might even have less respect for them. But if they
Speaker 1: go on their way and they say, hey, this is
Speaker 1: our message and we're gonna to the hill, we're gonna
Speaker 1: die on, I have respect for that.
Speaker 2: There's I mean, there's a history of Irish performers taking
Speaker 2: political stances. We had Shenad O'Connor like four decades ago
Speaker 2: getting banned from basically existence after ripping up the picture
Speaker 2: of the Pope, and that was very political. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well because on that day she was banned from heaven
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, I felt I didn't have to do anything. No,
Speaker 1: I go, you know what, live your miserable life, which.
Speaker 2: She smote herself.
Speaker 1: She smote herself.
Speaker 2: But that's the thing that you can't. You cannot disassociate
Speaker 2: politicism with art and music when you look at Irish performers.
Speaker 1: Very dangerous to do so, uh, I think you're looking
Speaker 1: at YouTube bands like YouTube. That's to me like a
Speaker 1: soft pedaling of politics. Oh yeah, first in a pop
Speaker 1: culture commercial way, but if every I think two of
Speaker 1: my favorite bands in the world are Kneecap and the
Speaker 1: Stiff Little Fingers, also a band from Ireland, and they
Speaker 1: say a lot of stuff I don't agree with and
Speaker 1: but man are they good and they still play too.
Speaker 1: I think a Kneecap and Stiff Little Fingers would be
Speaker 1: a great tour. I would work with Kneecap, even though
Speaker 1: I know that there's a lot of people that would
Speaker 1: want to ban me or my organization or the people
Speaker 1: that I would work with them because I have a
Speaker 1: saft spot even though I don't disagree with their politics.
Speaker 1: I have a soft spot for people who are persecuted.
Speaker 1: When they get persecuted, I have this thing inside me
Speaker 1: that goes reach out to them, reach out to them
Speaker 1: and see if they need help because everybody is against
Speaker 1: them and that's just you know, it's not smart of me,
Speaker 1: but I get I just get that way. Let's go
Speaker 1: to the movies. Number one movie to see tonight is
Speaker 1: Kneecap on the I'm telling I'm saying it over and
Speaker 1: over because it's free, it's there, and it's what's going
Speaker 1: on right now. It's a topic of conversation at Coachella. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: so it couldn't get more hip. You better see this
Speaker 1: movie or you're some kind of a dope. Okay, there
Speaker 1: I said it. No, let's go to the top nine movies.
Speaker 1: Why the top nine because someone I was doing the
Speaker 1: cutting pasting we got tonight. Number one is Sinners. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is what you would call a urban thriller. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I've been hearing incredibly good things. A lot of people
Speaker 2: in to tell me I need to go see this one.
Speaker 1: People like it. People that like good movies like it.
Speaker 2: Sam.
Speaker 1: Number two Star Wars Episode three, Revenge of the Sith.
Speaker 1: What the heck is that? Sam? Maybe you can explain
Speaker 1: that to me. Why I went to the movies last
Speaker 1: night and it looked like a Star Wars convention in
Speaker 1: that place at the Belletara.
Speaker 2: I'm guessing it's some kind of anniversary screening of it.
Speaker 2: They're really these and I mean, I get it. It
Speaker 2: was of the orid like those first three, you know,
Speaker 2: episode one, two, and three. This was probably the most tolerable.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, this is the one. I remember this
Speaker 1: being the one.
Speaker 2: But yeah, no, no, I get the feeling that people
Speaker 2: are that starved for Star Wars content that they'll just
Speaker 2: just give us whatever it is that that you guys
Speaker 2: showed us twenty years ago, and we'll take it at
Speaker 2: this point.
Speaker 1: Well, also, they're always looking for somewhere to go and
Speaker 1: and be seen, and they don't want to miss out
Speaker 1: on another thing.
Speaker 2: I will give them this. They I mean, like Rogue
Speaker 2: one may be the best movie of the entire Star
Speaker 2: Wars series. They took a movie where you knew what
Speaker 2: the ending was going to be and made it so
Speaker 2: you cared.
Speaker 1: Everybody just changed the channel because you got too nerdy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so let's dial it back a little bit and and
Speaker 1: just just say these are nerds and they're getting together.
Speaker 1: And there were enough of them to get eleven three
Speaker 1: hundred thousand in the theaters. Number three, The Accountant two
Speaker 1: that seems to be the hottest movie right now, The
Speaker 1: Accountant Too. Look for The Accountant Too to rise this
Speaker 1: week and Sinners to fall? Number four and The Accountant
Speaker 1: Too is a is it Beneffleck?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: On the prowl. Anyways, I almost saw that last night
Speaker 1: because I had to make a decision. What am I
Speaker 1: going to see that. My wife is such a saint
Speaker 1: that she just sees whatever I say to see. You know,
Speaker 1: I kind of like I eat whatever she tells me
Speaker 1: to eat, or wear what she tells me to wear.
Speaker 1: She sees what movies I tell her to see. So
Speaker 1: we didn't see Accountant two because we saw a movie
Speaker 1: I think is better. But I'll get to it. Number four.
Speaker 1: Minecraft movie still making news Sam because people are bringing
Speaker 1: fireworks into the theaters and.
Speaker 2: Chickens, Yeah, live chickens.
Speaker 1: So if the guy says chicken.
Speaker 2: Was it chicken jockey?
Speaker 1: Chicken jockey.
Speaker 2: As soon as they say chicken chocky, it's like going
Speaker 2: to a Gallagher show. You need to wear a poncho
Speaker 2: and just cover up because you don't know what fluid
Speaker 2: maybe flying out of where.
Speaker 1: When I was there, they were just standing up and shouting,
Speaker 1: and then I went to the bathroom and they threw
Speaker 1: a bunch of popcorn over my wife's head when when
Speaker 1: they said chicken jockey, and my wife was scared. And
Speaker 1: I'm glad I wasn't there, because maybe I would have
Speaker 1: been startled to say what all right, you guys, and
Speaker 1: I'd be the old man telling them all to settle down.
Speaker 1: Don't want to be that right now. Went to the
Speaker 1: movies last night. My wife ordered a chicken sandwich.
Speaker 2: Chicken jockey sounds like an insult. It sounds like you
Speaker 2: said you would say that to somebody.
Speaker 1: People are bringing in live chickens to the theaters.
Speaker 2: I know, with wearing saddles.
Speaker 1: This chickens saddle or they wear something the chicken. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: and then that's cool. And I told them, you know, like,
Speaker 1: they go ahead, it's gonna take ten minutes for that
Speaker 1: chicken sandwich would be done. I go, is this because
Speaker 1: you think we're gonna throw it? And they say, chicken jockey, No, sir,
Speaker 1: you're sixty two years old. I don't think you're gonna
Speaker 1: throw anything.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Number five until dawn, let's put a pin in that
Speaker 1: one for another week. Number six King of Kings. I
Speaker 1: think it's an animated Jesus movie. Good for them on
Speaker 1: this divine mercy Sunday. I think it's a good idea
Speaker 1: to go see a religious movie, King of Kings. The
Speaker 1: number seven is Amateur, The Amateur with Remy Mallick. I
Speaker 1: think that one not as good as The Accountant. I'm
Speaker 1: just getting a perception of my next movie to go see.
Speaker 1: I think I'd rather see the Accountant too than the Amateur.
Speaker 2: But I heard that Amateur was like a spongey, like
Speaker 2: not necessarily entertaining to look at version of James Bond.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, yeah, maybe not as glamorous.
Speaker 2: Yeah, somebody like a nerd Bond, a geek Bond.
Speaker 1: Okay, good good, good morning. Number eight Warfare, which is
Speaker 1: a in Iraq war movie. Number nine is the Legend
Speaker 1: of Ochi, which is you know exactly what it sounds like.
Speaker 1: It's about this legend of this thing called Ochi. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: from age twenty four. It's a legendary warfare. Okay, that's
Speaker 1: a movie I saw.
Speaker 2: Let's take a break, Okay, a.
Speaker 1: Break, and I'm gonna tell you what I thought about Warfare.
Speaker 1: It's so disturbing in a good way that I don't
Speaker 1: I don't know if I can get through the segment.
Speaker 1: I might need a moment. So let's take a moment
Speaker 1: now to get ready for it. Joe Scolonte Live from
Speaker 1: Hollywood with the traffic. Okay, Joe Scalante Live from Hollywood
Speaker 1: all the time. The pizza well's speaking of pizza. That's
Speaker 1: reminds you we've got to talk about the popes. We're
Speaker 1: going to get to the popes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, pizza boy.
Speaker 1: Have you heard a pizza boy?
Speaker 2: Uh No, he's a cardinal.
Speaker 1: He's a he's one of the eligible cardinals. And his
Speaker 1: nickname is pizza boy. Really, so we'll talk about him
Speaker 1: a bit. The movie. So the movie I saw last
Speaker 1: night that is out in the theaters right now, and
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, number it is the number number
Speaker 1: eight and playing only at small theaters. But when I
Speaker 1: went there, it's from A twenty four. A twenty four
Speaker 1: is the hottest studio in the world right now. And
Speaker 1: I just put something on my Facebook page for this
Speaker 1: radio show, Live from Hollywood, Josclante Life from Hollywood, that
Speaker 1: ranks the top thirty five A twenty four movies. It's
Speaker 1: a good list to say like to go, Well, you don't,
Speaker 1: you don't know what to watch tonight? Go to the
Speaker 1: go to my Facebook page. There's thirty five movies. Guarantee
Speaker 1: all of them are good. Yeah, and they're modern and
Speaker 1: their hip and you know you look smart. Now. Warfare
Speaker 1: it's a film about a battle in a rock in
Speaker 1: two thousand and six, I think November of two thousand
Speaker 1: and six. I got out ov rock in the in
Speaker 1: January of two thousand and five. Sam. I don't like
Speaker 1: to call myself a hero. I don't like the term.
Speaker 1: But I was there for eight whole days, saw some stuff,
Speaker 1: left some good men behind. All right, that's enough of
Speaker 1: my stolen valor. It is true. I wasn't Iraq for
Speaker 1: eight days in two thousand and five. It was it
Speaker 1: was ugly the what were you doing, Joe singing and dancing? Okay,
Speaker 1: I had a mission. I accomplished my mission. Now. This
Speaker 1: is about a battle that took place in a neighborhood
Speaker 1: where like eight guys or something. You know, they're trying
Speaker 1: to secure some house so they can spy on some
Speaker 1: enemy combatants that are pulling off from Shenanigans in this neighborhood,
Speaker 1: hiding among civilians, and this is like, you know, one
Speaker 1: of the things that always irks the Americans is like, like,
Speaker 1: can you imagine an American army going in to you know,
Speaker 1: let's say the battle is in uh, the United States,
Speaker 1: and we go hide in a in a home like
Speaker 1: Huntington Beach house in a neighborhood so that we so
Speaker 1: that the enemy won't bomb us because there's all these
Speaker 1: civilians around and then there's kids and babies and schools
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. So that always erks the Americans.
Speaker 1: They don't like that. So they they're they're I don't
Speaker 1: know why they're rooting out these guys in this neighborhood,
Speaker 1: but they go in to do it. And basically it's
Speaker 1: kind of a real time experience based on their memories,
Speaker 1: real soldiers' memories of what happened during this siege. It's
Speaker 1: basically a siege. It's so intense, so well done, such
Speaker 1: a you know, war as hell. Uh, the kind of
Speaker 1: movie vivid and I don't think I don't think I've
Speaker 1: seen one this graphic and.
Speaker 2: It's the Battle a movie about the Second Battle of Ramadi, is.
Speaker 1: What they're calling it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's what it was. It was the from
Speaker 2: March of two thousand and six to November of two
Speaker 2: thousand and six. It was a pretty gruesome, bloody thing.
Speaker 2: So it seems like this movie is definitely one of
Speaker 2: those films that brings out a lot of the vivid
Speaker 2: imagery and violent imagery of it all.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was mostly in Baghdad and then a foreign
Speaker 1: operating bases on every every a different one every day
Speaker 1: when the vandals went there to play for the troops.
Speaker 2: Weren't you staying at one of Saddam's palaces?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what, there's almost nothing that's not a
Speaker 1: Saddam's palace. You know.
Speaker 2: Well, no, that's what I'm saying. I said, one of them,
Speaker 2: one of those.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we're we're staying at them, We're hanging at them,
Speaker 1: we're spending the night. Udi and Cusier have all these
Speaker 1: you know, these facilities. Here's where Udi and kuse Uh
Speaker 1: trained olympians for the Olympics. Here's where Udi and Kusi
Speaker 1: just basically just raped win h Here's where Udi and
Speaker 1: Kusse mostly raped men but occasionally a woman. You know,
Speaker 1: you hear stories like that every day. But Yeah, to
Speaker 1: see this, this film and to see what these guys
Speaker 1: are really doing. When we saw them, they were they
Speaker 1: were ready for recreation, and that's what we were over
Speaker 1: there for. We were over there because these guys were
Speaker 1: a lot of them were becoming suicidal. They missed home,
Speaker 1: they're confused about their operation and their mission, and there's
Speaker 1: a lot of violence and you know, just the general, uh,
Speaker 1: the dramatic stress of war. So this is a very
Speaker 1: vivid a depiction of it. And you can't relax. You're
Speaker 1: not gonna enjoy your popcorn.
Speaker 2: So it's not a documentary, it's a reenactment, right, yeah, wow, Okay,
Speaker 2: that's uh.
Speaker 1: It's really good. Yeah, really well done. And it's scarier.
Speaker 1: You're praying for them in the theater. You get caught
Speaker 1: up in it, you go, these guys are real. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's so well done and the and the acting is
Speaker 1: so well well done. So I do recommend it. But
Speaker 1: just remember, you're not gonna enjoy your popcorn. You won't
Speaker 1: even remember you ate it. You're just gonna be like,
Speaker 1: holy cow, what happened? And you want to like, can
Speaker 1: I find one of these guys and thank them for
Speaker 1: their service? All that kind of stuff. So it was
Speaker 1: it's just a great piece of filmmaking. I hope it
Speaker 1: has a life. I hope it gets some awards, all
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2: You know, Yeah, looks fascinating. I'm a big fan of
Speaker 2: military history, contemporary military history, and that one looks like
Speaker 2: it's gonna be something to catch.
Speaker 1: Real time, real time battle. Now we're gonna we're taking
Speaker 1: a break. We're gonna go for Hour number two and
Speaker 1: we'll talk about bats Day and a bunch of other
Speaker 1: stuff like Billy Mitchell. Batstays today. You can still go
Speaker 1: to Disneyland if you don't know what that is. Stick around, Joe,
Speaker 1: It's go on to Live from.
Speaker 3: Hollywood, Joe, Let's go on say live from Hollywood on
Speaker 3: this in Bat's Day, and also Divine Mercy Sunday.
Speaker 1: It's kind of the sacred in the profane being celebrated
Speaker 1: today in southern California across the world. We've got a
Speaker 1: new pope coming out. I don't know if you have
Speaker 1: any favorites. Sam and Junior. Sam is here with me.
Speaker 1: We're gonna do two. I forget this is an intro
Speaker 1: for like the hour. I better tell everybody what we're doing.
Speaker 1: This is this Hour number two of the Business. End
Speaker 1: of show Business. Right here in k e IB eleven
Speaker 1: fifteen your AM dial in Los Angeles. You can and
Speaker 1: live anywhere in the world with iHeart Radio app Woo.
Speaker 1: You got a favorite in the Pope Run.
Speaker 2: I haven't seen the Vegas odds on it yet, so
Speaker 2: I really don't know who to go for.
Speaker 1: Oh, there will be odds.
Speaker 2: I mean, I know you're much more plugged into the
Speaker 2: game than I am, so I've got a Before giving
Speaker 2: you my idea of a favorite, I kind of need
Speaker 2: to get your opinion on it first. Well, and it
Speaker 2: reminds me of my One of my favorite lines of
Speaker 2: any movie is from Top Secret in women's Tennis. I
Speaker 2: always bet against the heathorosexual.
Speaker 1: Wow, Well, and here who would you bet against? I
Speaker 1: think you? I think you betted against the conservative. In
Speaker 1: the Catholic Church, there are conservatives and liberals, just like
Speaker 1: just like the world. And there's the conservatives that want
Speaker 1: to It's a little more cut and dry though, because
Speaker 1: the conservative what does he want to do. He wants
Speaker 1: to conserve the rules of the religion sometimes called the
Speaker 1: magisterium of the faith. The liberal wants to go you
Speaker 1: know what. Jesus was a cool guy that were sandals
Speaker 1: and had long hair. He wouldn't want to be so strict, now,
Speaker 1: would he. I think anything goes. So between those two extremes,
Speaker 1: you have all of them in the Catholic Church. So
Speaker 1: we had like John Paul in recent memory, John Paul
Speaker 1: the second, who was running around to traveling everywhere. It
Speaker 1: was like the traveling Pope. He brought so many young
Speaker 1: people into the faithful, and he was a very saintly figure,
Speaker 1: an intellectual, you know, tons of like philosophical philosophy degrees
Speaker 1: and all this stuff. Credited with ending the Cold War
Speaker 1: by many people, along with Margaret Thatcher is now going
Speaker 1: to mention twice on this show.
Speaker 2: Which is I think we've hit our quote.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Ronald Reagan saw that people many people credit
Speaker 1: those three with bringing down the Iron Curtain. And then
Speaker 1: you had his enforcer. So he was a guy of
Speaker 1: a lovey dovey guy, not conservative, not liberal. Then his enforcer,
Speaker 1: who was in charge of the doctrine of the faith.
Speaker 1: While John Paul was running around being Levey dove, the
Speaker 1: rules were be enforced by a guy who ended up
Speaker 1: becoming Benedict the sixteenth. And then he's eight years I
Speaker 1: think he lasted that before he retired. A lot of
Speaker 1: people say he was blackmailed because there's a lot of
Speaker 1: intrigue in that. There's tons of intrigue, you know, there's
Speaker 1: like there's there's like mafia controlled banking stuff. There's freemason infiltration. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of enemies from within Sam, a
Speaker 1: lot of So we had him. He was he was
Speaker 1: a very conservative, and he brought back easy Latin mass
Speaker 1: before it was he had to apply for a permit
Speaker 1: basically to say a Latin Mass in the church, even
Speaker 1: though it was for you know, a couple of thousand years,
Speaker 1: the normal thing to do. And then all of a
Speaker 1: sudden and and when the when the additional people, the
Speaker 1: conservatives got a taste of the Latin Mass, they became
Speaker 1: addicted to it and they loved it. And then then
Speaker 1: there now we have another divide. Is a Latin mass
Speaker 1: is a mass that is not Latin valid? Well, of
Speaker 1: course it is, well not of course to me, I
Speaker 1: think it's valid, but some people don't think it is.
Speaker 1: So you have that divide. Now what h But it
Speaker 1: brought new people into the church. I mean, John Paul
Speaker 1: the second was great, but I mean the pews were empty,
Speaker 1: you know, they were getting more and more empty, except
Speaker 1: for in Africa. So I don't know. He was great,
Speaker 1: but that wasn't a great It's not a great legacy
Speaker 1: if you're counting the number of people in the pew,
Speaker 1: especially in Europe. Okay, So I don't know, and I
Speaker 1: think this isn't a really show. And I'm not an expert,
Speaker 1: but man, I kind of am, so I'm gonna keep going.
Speaker 1: So so it's easy to have a Latin Mass. And
Speaker 1: then that people got a taste of it and they
Speaker 1: loved it, like my family loves it. Seems like Saint
Speaker 1: Francis saw something he didn't like in that, like the divisions,
Speaker 1: like these people are too conservative and they're obsessed, and
Speaker 1: he didn't like conservative Catholicism. He wanted more anything goes.
Speaker 1: And again, my brain is too small to know which
Speaker 1: is right. If this is the pope and he was
Speaker 1: chosen by the Holy Spirit, I'm going to sit around
Speaker 1: and saying say that he's the wrong guy. I can't.
Speaker 1: I'm not smart enough and I'm not holy enough. So
Speaker 1: a lot of people loved him, a lot of people
Speaker 1: did not love him. He takes away the Latin mass. Am,
Speaker 1: the people are having it and they're and they're enjoying it,
Speaker 1: and it's bringing new people to the church. Young people, especially,
Speaker 1: families are getting bigger and they go, we loved it
Speaker 1: to have a million. When you go to the Latin Mass,
Speaker 1: you see people with giant families. And when people with
Speaker 1: young people get married and they're hanging out with people
Speaker 1: with giant families, they have giant families. So it seemed
Speaker 1: to be really good for the Catholic Church. He took
Speaker 1: it away and then people said I don't like you
Speaker 1: for that, and that hurt a lot of people, and
Speaker 1: he was suspicious of the people. And then some of
Speaker 1: the diocesi they said, you can only have a Latin
Speaker 1: Mass if you have it in the cathedral. Can't have
Speaker 1: it in these regular churches. Why going to keep an
Speaker 1: eye on you. That's kind of insulting. Yeah, so not
Speaker 1: only we lost it, we have to go downtown or
Speaker 1: wherever the cathedral is. That's a burden. Women in minorities
Speaker 1: hurt the hardest.
Speaker 2: Sam Probably it sounds very gatekeepy of like, you know, oh,
Speaker 2: this is the only true authentic Mass. And if you're
Speaker 2: trying to, you know, preach and get people on board
Speaker 2: with what you're trying to, you know, to get people
Speaker 2: on board with then yeah, you don't. You don't want
Speaker 2: to be exclusionary with that kind of thing. You don't
Speaker 2: want to gate keep the stuff as if this is
Speaker 2: the only place where you're allowed to be pure.
Speaker 1: Well, these are these are rules that excluded people. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's more complicated than that, because you have people that
Speaker 1: are saying this is the true Mass, the Latin Mass,
Speaker 1: and then you have the Pope saying you're getting a
Speaker 1: little too into it, and I'm scared of you, and
Speaker 1: so I want to reduce that. I want to take
Speaker 1: it away from you. I want to deprive you of it.
Speaker 1: I want to exclude it so you can if you
Speaker 1: want to have it, you can have it at the cathedral,
Speaker 1: or I can keep an eye on it, and one
Speaker 1: of my bishops can keep an eye on it. And
Speaker 1: at the same time, the FBI is investigating people who
Speaker 1: like a Latin Mass and saying these could be domestic terrorists.
Speaker 1: So they went through all that. The Pope could have
Speaker 1: come out and kind of had their backs. The traditional
Speaker 1: Catholics had their backs, but they felt abandoned by him.
Speaker 1: But then other people loved him for a million reasons.
Speaker 1: So we have this guy, So who's going to be
Speaker 1: the next pope? We had conservative, we had lefty, and
Speaker 1: now what do we have next? Well, you're likely to
Speaker 1: have more lefty because the pope picked all the cardinals,
Speaker 1: like eighty percent of the cardinals that will be voting
Speaker 1: will be one here picked and he picked he I'm
Speaker 1: not saying he picked lefty ones, but there were conservative
Speaker 1: ones that he ignored and he just said, you're out.
Speaker 1: You don't like him, but he's a poop. He gets
Speaker 1: to do that. Is it right? Is it wrong? You know? Again,
Speaker 1: not smart enough.
Speaker 2: I don't put that much sacredness around the language of
Speaker 2: Latin because I took three years of it in school
Speaker 2: and the only thing that really stuck out were the
Speaker 2: curse words, so I can curse out some people in Latin.
Speaker 2: I just feel like, I feel like this idea of
Speaker 2: making something less sacred based off of the language, it
Speaker 2: seems like it's you know, for how many people listening
Speaker 2: are actually understanding what they're hearing when it's in Latin.
Speaker 1: Well, it takes like no time to learn the Latin
Speaker 1: mass like, it really doesn't. It takes no time. And
Speaker 1: then you have a universal language for the whole world.
Speaker 1: Everybody's doing the same mass. So it's a more some
Speaker 1: people say it's more uniting. It's it takes no time,
Speaker 1: no time at all, because you're saying, you go to
Speaker 1: church in the in your own language, the vulgate they
Speaker 1: call it, and you you've heard it. It's absorbed into
Speaker 1: your skin, and all you're doing is hearing the exact
Speaker 1: same thing said in Latin. And then you have a
Speaker 1: little book that translates it both sides, on both sides
Speaker 1: of the page, as the Latin over hearing the English
Speaker 1: over there. If you care at all, you learn that
Speaker 1: thing in like, you know, six months, you got it all.
Speaker 1: So but at the in the end, though, I think
Speaker 1: it became something people were that the Vatican thought people
Speaker 1: were kind of fetishizing, and but instead of like trying
Speaker 1: to preach in a way that's like, hey, let's minimize this,
Speaker 1: and they just took it from them, and so that
Speaker 1: that made a lot of people mad. But we have
Speaker 1: a new pope, and so that will be one of
Speaker 1: the number one things that that people will look for.
Speaker 1: Is this a pope that will further ban Thelatin mass
Speaker 1: or will he bring it back or make it at
Speaker 1: least easier to have one. So look for that. So
Speaker 1: you look for the cardinals that that are in favor
Speaker 1: of Latin Mass. And there's some that if you read
Speaker 1: their biographies, some say advocate of the Latin Mass, some
Speaker 1: say an opponent of the Latin Mass. And you look
Speaker 1: around and then give you an idea. If they're honoring
Speaker 1: if they were picked by Francis and they're honoring his legacy,
Speaker 1: they will keep the Latin Mass. Hard to do. But
Speaker 1: if he gets a uh, there are many cardinals that
Speaker 1: that could be eligible that are in favor of it.
Speaker 3: So uh.
Speaker 1: Other things that they that they look for are things
Speaker 1: like the role of the of the laity, like how
Speaker 1: much stuff has to be done by the priests versus
Speaker 1: just the people. Stuff like that. You know, divorce is
Speaker 1: a big topic. Gaze, of course is a big topic.
Speaker 1: So it's hard to say because you don't know. And
Speaker 1: then what about diversity. The biggest growth in in the
Speaker 1: in the Catholic Church right now is in Africa. And
Speaker 1: when I say that, it doesn't mean I know anything
Speaker 1: about the actual statistics, but that's the conventional wisdom is, Hey,
Speaker 1: Africa's doing great and so and and I go to
Speaker 1: Mass in Europe and it looks it's terrible, like the
Speaker 1: places are empty. So African pope, a lot of people
Speaker 1: believe it's time and they've they've done the work and
Speaker 1: they're growing the church there, so there must be something
Speaker 1: to it. So if the Holy Spirit wants to reward that,
Speaker 1: we will have an African pope, and that would be
Speaker 1: my preference if I was sitting there voting. There's a
Speaker 1: couple of Africans that I would nominate. One of them
Speaker 1: is Cardinals Sarah of Guinea. I don't know where that is,
Speaker 1: but ah, that's my that's my number one pick right now.
Speaker 1: There could be a whole bunch of great ones that
Speaker 1: I just don't know about. When we come back, we'll
Speaker 1: talk about we won't really, but Pierre Pizza Bala, the
Speaker 1: Cardinal of of he's the Grand Prior of the Order
Speaker 1: of the Holy Sepulcher and he's eligible. But they call
Speaker 1: him Pizza boy, Pierre Batista Pizza Bola, and he's eligible.
Speaker 1: So when we come back, I promise we'll get back
Speaker 1: to show business. But this is a show. It's on TV,
Speaker 1: and it's going to be on TV for the next
Speaker 1: several weeks. So it's a big TV things are there.
Speaker 1: I said it. Let's check the traffic. Joe Ascalante Live
Speaker 1: from Hollywood. Joe Escalante Live from Hollywood. If by Hollywood
Speaker 1: you mean Burbank. You know, typically the last weekend in
Speaker 1: April is a depressed one for Moon movies. It's, you know,
Speaker 1: before the Marvel Cinematic University Universe takes up all the
Speaker 1: oxygen out of the start of the summer with all
Speaker 1: their movies. But this year, like things are happening, movies
Speaker 1: are on an uptick and and they're usually falling every year.
Speaker 1: This year they're up at this time from this time
Speaker 1: of last year. And it's not because of a giant,
Speaker 1: you know movie. You know, Minecraft was big, but it's
Speaker 1: not you know, Joggernaut level. It's just really big, and
Speaker 1: it's bringing these young boys into the theater. Young boys
Speaker 1: are setting fires in the theaters and they're saying, you
Speaker 1: know what, the movie theater is fun. And so I
Speaker 1: think that's good for everybody because these guys will it
Speaker 1: gives it gives life to the movie business, which really
Speaker 1: needed it. So despite the burned seats from the I
Speaker 1: mean they're literally Roman candles going off in these theaters
Speaker 1: and chickens and everything for the Minecraft movie. But I
Speaker 1: think it's good. I think it's And I noticed in
Speaker 1: the cinemak Belitaria that I go to, in the Belitaria
Speaker 1: Mall in Huntington Beach, I noticed that that they they
Speaker 1: increase the staff because you know, like over COVID they
Speaker 1: would just decrease and decrease everything there. You know, they
Speaker 1: didn't have staff. People are living off of COVID. Remember
Speaker 1: all this people, no one wanted a job because they're
Speaker 1: living off the COVID box or whatever, and they just
Speaker 1: didn't want one, and they didn't want to go certainly
Speaker 1: didn't want to go into an office. And they could
Speaker 1: they could have three jobs if they worked from home.
Speaker 1: Only do one of them. We'll do one third. Anyway,
Speaker 1: these are fully staffed.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: I noticed that at the Beltarira, the bathrooms are cleaner,
Speaker 1: the you know, managers running around trying to you know,
Speaker 1: help fix things. So but there's another problem, the Golden
Speaker 1: age of Hollywood and californ that's not getting any better.
Speaker 1: There's a report we just came out. It highlights a
Speaker 1: significant decline and on location filming in Los Angeles reaching
Speaker 1: the lowest point in thirty years, excluding the pandemic here.
Speaker 1: Of course, shockingly, only about one fifth of the film
Speaker 1: and TV content watched by North American audience has now
Speaker 1: made in California, let alone. Hollywood downturn has attributed to
Speaker 1: fierce competition from other locations, both domestic like Atlanta and
Speaker 1: New York and international like Australia and Catalina.
Speaker 2: Just made that up.
Speaker 1: Offering more attractive, you know, financial incentives, and critics accused
Speaker 1: California's politicians of complacency. While the former president appointed actors
Speaker 1: Mel Gibson, Sylvester Stallone, and John Voight as special Ambassadors
Speaker 1: to the help of the industry. This move has been
Speaker 1: met with skepticism, of course, because people, yea, the people
Speaker 1: I'm reading like my summary of an article from someone
Speaker 1: who hates Donald Trump. So it's like, I get it,
Speaker 1: you hate Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: Yeah, never mind. My biggest the only thing I can
Speaker 2: say about is like, if the President's going to appoint
Speaker 2: these actors as special ambassadors to the industry, maybe pick
Speaker 2: somebody who's been relevant within the last four decades.
Speaker 1: Well, those people who don't have time, Yeah, exactly, people
Speaker 1: don't have time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, But I mean Mel Gibson was wonderful and he's
Speaker 2: you know in the eighties, and Sylvester Stallone back in
Speaker 2: the eighties. I mean John Voyd might have might be
Speaker 2: the one who John Voyd still he still carries some
Speaker 2: relevance as far as like you know, still gets jobs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely. And but Mel Gibson is a guy who
Speaker 1: number one, he's you know, he's an A list name,
Speaker 1: and he's got time and probably cares. But what they're
Speaker 1: really in that thing, they're really saying, go out and
Speaker 1: tell and and and kick Gavin Newsom's butt and tell
Speaker 1: him to do a B and C and he won't
Speaker 1: and we'll be back to the same. So who cares.
Speaker 1: But you know, if they have all the studios here,
Speaker 1: they have everything it takes, but they never do it.
Speaker 1: So they let other cities like Atlanta just come and
Speaker 1: build all these studios and start from nothing. It's like
Speaker 1: a young kid going to take over your career. Like
Speaker 1: you're the quarterback and you're getting slower and fatter and
Speaker 1: there's some hungry kid that's working his ass off and
Speaker 1: taking steroids and he's going to murder you, and you
Speaker 1: just sit around and let it happen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know a lot of people work who worked
Speaker 2: in the industry out here looking to move to Georgia
Speaker 2: because cost of living is cheaper and basically all of
Speaker 2: the Marvel films are are being produced out of there.
Speaker 1: Now you can get a job there, you can. So
Speaker 1: that's just something that that's what politicians asleep at the
Speaker 1: wheel and it'll be up to you. California can't do
Speaker 1: it because those are the ones that are gaining, like
Speaker 1: Florida and Atlanta. These are red states that that can
Speaker 1: streamline regulation and make favorable tax things that no other
Speaker 1: states are willing to do. So that's the way it is.
Speaker 1: But I mean, it's sitting there. They can do it
Speaker 1: if they want, but they're not doing it. Oh see,
Speaker 1: we've got to take a break, Sam, I want to
Speaker 1: come back. We're going to do it. We got We're
Speaker 1: going to go back to the bad celebrities, celebrities behaving badly.
Speaker 1: And this time we got a like a TV star
Speaker 1: and an NFL star, got some Sean Diddy news still
Speaker 1: in jail. Trial just about to happen, and we'll tell
Speaker 1: you what happened. Does missing Girl in Disney Man talk
Speaker 1: a little bit more about bats Day? Did we talk
Speaker 1: about it at all.
Speaker 2: I don't remember. No, we didn't bring it up, but
Speaker 2: I'm curious to see your respective on Obviously, people still
Speaker 2: have a little bit of time to go and enjoy it.
Speaker 1: Tonight, Batsay at Disneyland. If you haven't, if you have
Speaker 1: an annual pass it all, get down there. Joe'scalante Life
Speaker 1: from Hollywood. Joe Ascalante Live from Hollywood. By Hollywood, you
Speaker 1: mean Burbank, Kayak bad celebrities, Sam h Do you know
Speaker 1: who this guy Shannon Sharp is?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a big sports fan. If you know sports,
Speaker 2: you know Shannon Sharp well.
Speaker 1: Alleged audio of a highly explicit conversation between Sharp and
Speaker 1: his accuser, identified as Jane Doe, a very popular name
Speaker 1: among grape victims, has been released. In the audio, obtained
Speaker 1: by The New York Post, a man purported to be
Speaker 1: Sharp is heard making a chilling threat, allegedly saying do
Speaker 1: we have it?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I have it?
Speaker 1: Let's here.
Speaker 2: Anything I say, You're just gonna like get mad at
Speaker 2: He's gonna hang up on me.
Speaker 3: So I feel like I'm hang up on you?
Speaker 2: What what does that even mean? You don't think yamby,
Speaker 2: do you want to be a dick? To me, now,
Speaker 2: so if you said that one one more time, choke.
Speaker 1: Finally, the beep guy came.
Speaker 2: I was a little worried.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 1: I don't want to be true. She doesn't want to
Speaker 1: be choked, he says, she does.
Speaker 2: I don't think you have a choice in the matter,
Speaker 2: and she.
Speaker 1: Has no choice. Wow, I mean, you know, if she
Speaker 1: wants to be if he hasn't, he has a right
Speaker 1: to have an opinion that she wants to be, uh choked.
Speaker 1: Let's just give him that. But she doesn't have a
Speaker 1: choice whether she's going to be choked. Come on, Shannon Sharp,
Speaker 1: do you think that's ai? Shannon Sharp? Are real? Shannon Sharp?
Speaker 2: Sam? I, I don't want to speculate. It's it's pretty
Speaker 2: damning evidence against him. Really when you hear stuff like that.
Speaker 2: I mean, you can bring up the idea and the
Speaker 2: concept of consent, but really with that kind of talk
Speaker 2: and stuff, Yeah.
Speaker 1: It sounds like he's a thug that uses his power
Speaker 1: to we.
Speaker 2: Might be witnessing the slow swirl of his career down
Speaker 2: the toilet.
Speaker 1: He's been suspended, I understand on ESPN. Yeah, okay, and
Speaker 1: they suspended him probably because they looked into it and
Speaker 1: said we don't know if you're guilty or not, but
Speaker 1: it looks really bad.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he has i mean, one of the biggest
Speaker 2: podcasts and like video YouTube channels out there for Club Shasha.
Speaker 2: He's had some of the some of the most popular
Speaker 2: interviews on YouTube within the last year. So this is
Speaker 2: something that a lot of people are keeping their eyes
Speaker 2: on because this is somebody that there's a lot of
Speaker 2: people who are like just knee jerk reaction, were very
Speaker 2: defensive and protective of Shannon Sharp until they heard and
Speaker 2: like that audio, but also like heard more of the details.
Speaker 1: So he's an NFL champion that is also a commentator
Speaker 1: and a podcaster, and he is in a lot of trouble.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, quite a bit.
Speaker 1: We'll stand top of that one. Now we have another one,
Speaker 1: which is the p Diddy. P Diddy in court, his
Speaker 1: legal teams outlining their defense strategy. I want to hear
Speaker 1: it here. It is they're arguing that while he may
Speaker 1: have engaged in a swing or lifestyle, he never committed
Speaker 1: any inappropriate or criminal acts. His lawyer suggested this lifestyle
Speaker 1: was common enough that did he may not have thought
Speaker 1: twice about certain alleged behaviors prosecutors. However, they pushed back,
Speaker 1: saying attempts to draw comparisons to other public figures don't
Speaker 1: do it. The hearing also touched on I guess they
Speaker 1: were comparing him to you know, yeah, maybe. The hearing
Speaker 1: also touched on allegations that did he may have compelled
Speaker 1: one of the alleged victims to undergo a medical procedure,
Speaker 1: which prosecutors claimed is directly linked to the sex trafficking charges. Hmm,
Speaker 1: what do you think what medical procedure do.
Speaker 2: You think that might be for a man or a woman?
Speaker 1: For a woman? Do you see how these Yes, it's
Speaker 1: an abortion, and the and the the newswires don't want
Speaker 1: to say that, so they call it a medical procedure.
Speaker 1: He was forced to have an abortion, Okay, so she was.
Speaker 1: He was trying to force girls to have abortions. And
Speaker 1: that's manipulative. I impregnant you, I offer you money to
Speaker 1: have an abortion. That's just gross. The judge is ruled
Speaker 1: that the video appearing to show did he assaulting Cassie
Speaker 1: Ventura will be admissible in the trial. That's a big deal. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's the one everybody's seen. The near the elevators and
Speaker 1: he's kicking her and beating her, dragging her.
Speaker 2: So.
Speaker 1: Uh but as I said before, you gotta be careful
Speaker 1: how much you let in because these can all be
Speaker 1: grounds for a appeal. Yeah, you let too much in.
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. That's what they did to Cosby.
Speaker 2: I mean, really, it seems to like, just like Cosby's behavior,
Speaker 2: everybody seems to already be throwing the book at Diddy
Speaker 2: as far as his behavior being considered unlawfully awful. But
Speaker 2: at the same time, yeah, he deserves to have due process.
Speaker 1: You know, and I you know these are these are
Speaker 1: you know, as a hip hop guy and as an
Speaker 1: athlete guy, African American both. Uh, you know, it doesn't
Speaker 1: paint Africanerain American entertainers they're all They're not all like this,
Speaker 1: of course, why can't people meet more like Snoop Dogg.
Speaker 1: Snoop Dogg is expanding his presence in the entertainment world
Speaker 1: with a new major deal at Universal. NBC Universal and
Speaker 1: Studio UH Entertainment and Studios have announced a why arranging
Speaker 1: creative partnership with the rapper and his production company death
Speaker 1: Row Pictures. The agreement covers film, television, sports, entertainment and
Speaker 1: streaming content. NBC executives express their excitement about partnering with Snoop,
Speaker 1: highlighting his global appeal, business acumen, and authenticity in the
Speaker 1: gangster rap world with a company called death Row Records.
Speaker 1: Yet he is surprisingly squeaky clean.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't call him squeaky clean. He's had his legal
Speaker 2: run ins throughout his.
Speaker 1: Life, but he survives and he's like when he's on TV,
Speaker 1: he just seems like a smooth character. You can sell
Speaker 1: your beer, you can sell the Olympics.
Speaker 2: Him with Kevin Hart doing commentary on the Olympics might
Speaker 2: have been the funniest thing I've ever seen. I really
Speaker 2: put it up there as one of the funniest things
Speaker 2: I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: And he's going to return as a voice on the Coach.
Speaker 1: This guy is prime time, just mainstream. So whatever he
Speaker 1: whoever his publicist IST's hire that person to rehabilitate your reputation,
Speaker 1: Shannon Sharp's definitely gonna need it at this point. You
Speaker 1: don't need it, You're saying me personally.
Speaker 2: No, My reputation I've already accepted is in the ground
Speaker 2: is dirt, right.
Speaker 1: Tell me about Billy Mitchell. This guy is the Donkey Kong,
Speaker 1: King of Donkey Kong. I saw a movie called Love
Speaker 1: and Arcades not out yet, so don't try to see
Speaker 1: it probably, uh, And it's about one of the people
Speaker 1: in the Donkey Kong. There was a movie was the
Speaker 1: other movie called Donkey Kong, King of Kong, King of Kong. Yeah,
Speaker 1: two people battling for the championship of Donkey Kong. And
Speaker 1: it's kind of you know, it's all weird and funny,
Speaker 1: and uh, it's the documentary is interesting. Billy Mitchell was
Speaker 1: one of them. But he's the most hated man in
Speaker 1: all of arcade sports.
Speaker 2: Right absolutely, Uh, one of them. Another word that I've
Speaker 2: been repeating today. Polarizing, very polarizing figure within video games,
Speaker 2: especially competitive video games. He held so many records throughout
Speaker 2: the eighties and was known for that and had a
Speaker 2: reputation of being an elite gamer. And underneath all of it,
Speaker 2: there was a lot of rumors of him doing a
Speaker 2: lot of little things to cheat. And you know, I'm
Speaker 2: not going to go and say one way or the other,
Speaker 2: weather or not he was cheating, but that was the
Speaker 2: reputation that he had earned.
Speaker 1: And to get a record and to publicize your record
Speaker 1: basically you videotape some in videotapes, you playing the game
Speaker 1: and you watch he look, he got the highest score. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but they were saying he could doctor these machines and
Speaker 1: then he would sue people for defaming him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's where a lot of people were, you know,
Speaker 2: suing him to find you know, based off of the
Speaker 2: idea of him being a cheater, so they want to
Speaker 2: find ways to expose him. Now, he was in a
Speaker 2: lawsuit with this YouTuber in Australia named Carl j and
Speaker 2: or Jokes. I'm not sure how it's pronounced, but what
Speaker 2: Jokes was doing in a lot of his videos, and
Speaker 2: I watch a lot of his videos because most of
Speaker 2: his content, when it's not focused on Billy Miller or
Speaker 2: Billy Mitchell and trying to defame him, it was focused
Speaker 2: on video game records and focused on if people were
Speaker 2: cheating on them or not. And Billy Mitchell has that reputation,
Speaker 2: so he just focused right on him now.
Speaker 1: Then, and you don't want to get a girlfriend, so
Speaker 1: you watch these videos.
Speaker 2: Obviously, so within like everybody was talking about how you
Speaker 2: know this. You know, Billy Mitchell's a very litigious guy,
Speaker 2: and this one guy went and more or less to
Speaker 2: fame them based on and was posing it as like
Speaker 2: he's going to take him to court to expose him
Speaker 2: as the cheater that he is. Yeah, And what ended
Speaker 2: up happening was that he kind of misled his audience
Speaker 2: into believing what the actual case was about. It was
Speaker 2: a defamation case based off of Carl Jobs saying that
Speaker 2: Billy Mitchell's Billy Mitchell's legal act actions led to the
Speaker 2: suicide of another YouTuber named Apollo Legend.
Speaker 1: So that was what the suit was about. That's what
Speaker 1: the suit was about, causing causing a debt as death.
Speaker 2: And during when the judge was at the end of
Speaker 2: it all, was in there telling everybody what's going on,
Speaker 2: he basically said, I am not judging whether or not
Speaker 2: Billy Mitchell is a cheater. I am judging whether or
Speaker 2: not he was defamed by Carl Jobs based off of
Speaker 2: what was said, uh, and the allegation that what Billy
Speaker 2: Mitchell did legally against Apolo Legend led to his suicide.
Speaker 1: So if you say something to somebody like in this case,
Speaker 1: he's defending himself saying I Am not a cheater and
Speaker 1: I'm going to sue you and then the guy who
Speaker 1: said you're a cheater and says when the pushback comes,
Speaker 1: he takes his own life. And that could be. That
Speaker 1: could have been unless there was a suicide note, you know,
Speaker 1: saying Billy Mitchell's at fault here you he that's a
Speaker 1: tough case.
Speaker 2: There was and that's the thing. There was a suicide note,
Speaker 2: oh no, and there were other YouTubers mentioned in it,
Speaker 2: but Billy Mitchell was not mentioned in it.
Speaker 1: And he wasn't but he has the money.
Speaker 2: And what Carled Jobs was doing was going on his
Speaker 2: videos and saying that the legal issue, the case that
Speaker 2: Apollo Legend had against which I believe was another defamation
Speaker 2: case against Billy Mitchell, led to his suicide, said that
Speaker 2: that was directly what led to Apollo Legend suicide. That's
Speaker 2: what the case was about. It had nothing to do
Speaker 2: with litigating whether or not he was a cheater. And
Speaker 2: what Jobs did was use the court's time to bring
Speaker 2: up every single time he cheated so that it would
Speaker 2: be in legal record that he's a cheater, a known cheater.
Speaker 2: But that's not what this case was about.
Speaker 1: Now, was that the defamation defamation based on court case,
Speaker 1: court filings, or just he was saying it in public.
Speaker 2: He was saying it in public on his videos.
Speaker 1: Okay, now we all know.
Speaker 2: And not retracting them.
Speaker 1: Defamation saying something that makes people spit on the ground,
Speaker 1: like he's a cheater, his whole life is a lie.
Speaker 1: That qualifies it has to be not true. So that's
Speaker 1: going to be established, maybe as by the Trier of fact.
Speaker 1: And but he's a celebrity, so there has to be
Speaker 1: a high the malice. It has to be done to
Speaker 1: cause some kind of you know, premeditated evil, like take
Speaker 1: him down or not, so that maybe jokes could be
Speaker 1: more famous or something. I don't know. Is he in
Speaker 1: the game too?
Speaker 2: Is he he's known within the gaming community.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he's trying to take him down by spreading
Speaker 1: lies that make people spit on the ground. That is
Speaker 1: a defamation case, and the Trier of Fact can decide
Speaker 1: whether it was true and whether it met the bar
Speaker 1: of malice. Yeah, okay, we've seen it before. But you're
Speaker 1: saying he won.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he won three hundred and fifty thousand dollars in
Speaker 2: damages from Jobs.
Speaker 1: But Jobs, oh okay, from Jobs who was an actual
Speaker 1: living night.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Carl Jobs said that what he said, led
Speaker 2: to the suicide of another YouTuber.
Speaker 1: So he's in Australia. Yeah, so is it three hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty thousand Australian dollars? I believe so, yes, So
Speaker 1: they could I have that on mer Change. Okay, Joe's
Speaker 1: Golante Live from Hollywood. One more segment coming up after this,
