And there is a couple that's been 119 00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:29.920 banned from Disneyland they're suing and they're spilling all of 120 00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:33.560 these secret details. Diana and Scott Anderson are their names, 121 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:37.839 and they estimate they've spent about a million dollars living 122 00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:41.319 out their dreams at Disneyland. Now they're both sixty years old, 123 00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:43.759 and from twenty twelve to twenty seventeen they were members 124 00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:44.879 of Club thirty three. 125 00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:46.600 Of course, not a lot. 126 00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:48.920 You don't know a lot about Club thirty three unless 127 00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:52.040 you're privy to somebody who's been inside, and even then 128 00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:55.319 people are very cagy about what goes on. It's the 129 00:05:55.360 --> 00:06:00.079 exclusive private lounge where the wealthiest disney Files escape the crowd. 130 00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:03.160 You can have cocktails, there's gourmet meals. 131 00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:05.519 These two, this couple, they. 132 00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:08.319 Said they would visit Disneyland as many as eighty times 133 00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:08.759 a year. 134 00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:12.000 Yeah, and blow all kinds of money. 135 00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:14.360 Think of the thousands of dollars that they're spending on 136 00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:19.480 hotel rooms, food and drink transportation. They're paying for access 137 00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:23.879 to the special events, including dining in the Haunted Mansion. 138 00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:24.319 Ride. 139 00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:26.000 I didn't know you could do that, but for twenty 140 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:28.319 five hundred bucks the New Year's Eve parties. 141 00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:32.079 They say their social circle revolved around friends they had 142 00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:35.839 met at Club thirty three. In fact, after twelve years 143 00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:38.279 on a waiting list, they were finally invited to join 144 00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:41.800 Club thirty three and twenty twelve. They paid fifty thousand 145 00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:44.920 dollars in sign on fees and dues their first year 146 00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:48.160 for a Platinum pass, which gave them guest passes to 147 00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:52.040 bring along their family and friends. And this is where 148 00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:55.079 their social circle revolved, they said. But it all came 149 00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:58.600 to a crashing halt when their membership was terminated in 150 00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:03.439 twenty seventeen because the husband, Scott, was accused of being 151 00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:07.519 drunk inside a Disneyland park. He says he was suffering 152 00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:16.519 from a medical condition vestibular migrainevestibular thank you, which causes disneyness. 153 00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:20.680 So they sued to be reinstated. They've lost that legal 154 00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:22.600 battle that went on for seven years, and now they 155 00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:26.480 face a huge legal bill and exile from Disneyland. 156 00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:29.399 So they said, the first four years, like you said, 157 00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:32.079 joined in twenty twelve Club thirty three. They paid fifty 158 00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:34.600 thousand and sign on fees. The first four years were bliss. 159 00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:38.480 They mingled with Hollywood A listers. In twenty seventeen, they said, 160 00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:43.079 the magic began to fade. Prices went up quality decline 161 00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:48.680 and ms Anderson was suspended for using salty language. 162 00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:50.920 Yes, she said she had been drinking at the bar 163 00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:53.800 when their alcohol service was suddenly cut off after her 164 00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:57.000 friend split her mirmosa. I'm sure there was more than 165 00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:00.680 one split mimosa involved with her salty language. Apparently she 166 00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:03.000 complained to the manager and said the words to the 167 00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:05.920 effect of what the f is going on? The suspension 168 00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:11.439 was swift came immediately on the night their membership was 169 00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:14.920 terminated the same year, twenty seventeen, the husband, Scott, says 170 00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:17.680 he was with fifteen to twenty friends at Club thirty three, 171 00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:20.040 that he had two beers and a glass of wine 172 00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:23.360 over three hours. Right at nine point thirty, he was 173 00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:26.199 found slumped on a park bench by two security guards. 174 00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:28.480 They reported back to Club thirty three management that he 175 00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:31.399 smelled of alcohol he was slurring his words. They were 176 00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:37.480 terminated on the spot. The jury took just forty five 177 00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:40.639 minutes of deliberating to rule against them. Yet, you don't 178 00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:43.720 get to go to Disneyland, get drunk and ruin Club 179 00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:47.679 thirty three and you know, be slurring your words on 180 00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:50.240 a park bench in front of children and a jury 181 00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:52.080 in Orange County take your side. 182 00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:53.519 That's just not going to happen. 183 00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:55.279 Uh. 184 00:08:57.639 --> 00:09:01.320 I've heard of people. I think my I think my 185 00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:02.279 wife knew some. 186 00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:05.519 I don't know anybody who has an official membership to 187 00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:08.919 Club thirty three, but I I mean, I'm sure I 188 00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:12.320 do at some point. It's just not something I asked about. 189 00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:15.639 This couple claimed that eighty percent of the members sold 190 00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:19.080 access to the club in return for dinner, drinks or 191 00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:22.320 one hundred and fifty dollars in cash. Other members would 192 00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:26.320 buy Club thirty three merchandise polo shirts, napkins, handbags, mugs 193 00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:28.039 and sell it online at a markup. 194 00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:31.440 And they said that Disney staff members would monitor a 195 00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:34.240 private Facebook page for Club thirty three members, and if 196 00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:39.399 members complained on that private page, they would face repercussions 197 00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:44.000 in the park, they said, celebrity members were afforded special treatment. 198 00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:47.000 You know why, because they're celebrities. They were able to 199 00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:49.960 flout the strict rules, like Rebel Wilson. For example, she 200 00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:52.600 revealed last year that she'd been suspended from the club 201 00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:55.559 for taking pictures in the bathroom and joked that membership 202 00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:57.720 was being was akin to being a member of the 203 00:09:57.759 --> 00:10:03.200 Disney Illuminati. The other there is one Thanksgiving Diane and 204 00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:05.799 Scott said that they were having lunch in Club thirty 205 00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:08.960 three and it was closed at short notice. The dining 206 00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:11.679 room was so that Tom Hanks and his family could 207 00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:12.679 have a private dinner. 208 00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:16.159 Scott Anderson said he sued Disney because he believed his 209 00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:19.320 integrity had been maligned. I became known as the drunk 210 00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:25.159 in the park. Missus Anderson. Diana now sees Club thirty 211 00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:27.320 three as a cult. We all laugh and we go, God, 212 00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:29.000 we were in a cult. We didn't even know it. 213 00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:31.000 You guys are ass hats. 214 00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:35.159 That's what you are. I defend Disney. There is a 215 00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:37.639 new report on the state of parenting in America. Also, 216 00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:40.879 why is childcare so expensive? We've got a lot of 217 00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:42.000 stories about that as well. 218 00:10:42.440 --> 00:10:45.759 Residents of Wyoming have the most positive outlook on life. 219 00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:50.720 That makes sense to determine where states land on the 220 00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:53.960 scale of optimism and seeing the bowl half full instead 221 00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:58.480 of half empty. A yogurt brand did a study with 222 00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:01.480 the support of a group called Wakefield Research, and your 223 00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:05.000 Optimism Index score would range from zero to ten based 224 00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:08.320 on ten different metrics, including how likely you were to 225 00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:12.559 persevere in challenging situations, how often you exercised, how often 226 00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:16.320 you eat a healthy breakfast things like that. Okay, yeah, yeah, 227 00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:19.639 Maryland was number five, okay, where Alabama was number four. 228 00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:22.879 New Jersey was number three, California was number two. Wow, 229 00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:24.399 and then Wyoming number one. 230 00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:27.759 Kathy just sent me some pictures. I love burger wars, 231 00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:30.120 don't you. It's always so much fun. So two days ago, 232 00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:33.120 USA Today comes out with the best fast food burgers 233 00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:36.360 in America, and the number one spot was Habit. 234 00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:38.120 Number two was in and Out. 235 00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:42.440 Now both based in California, of course, but now everyone 236 00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:44.960 knows the in and out in your Lax, right. The 237 00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:48.120 billboard went up the same day that this survey came out, 238 00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:50.720 and the billboard right outside the In and Out at 239 00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:53.919 Lax says congrats on being number two in and Out, 240 00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:57.000 and then the Habit logo and the Habit girl or whatever. 241 00:11:57.519 --> 00:12:02.000 And then they took out also a a backpage at 242 00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:04.879 a full ad in the paper deer in and Out, 243 00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:08.120 and there's a big trophy that says number two. There's 244 00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:11.200 so much emphasis on winning in today's society. Let's take 245 00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:14.600 a beat to celebrate the silver medalists, the runners up. 246 00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:17.679 There are hundreds, if not thousands, of Burger options out there, 247 00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:20.399 and yours was just voted number two by USA to 248 00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:24.360 Day's ten Best Number two. That's pretty darn good. So 249 00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:26.679 here's to you, in and out. Congrats on number two. 250 00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:28.679 Your friends, Habit Burger and growth. 251 00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:29.440 Oh that's great. 252 00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:32.279 It's not wonderful. I love a healthy competition. 253 00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:35.120 So that statistic that. 254 00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:39.360 We were talking about was that of the twelve shows 255 00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:42.399 that won Primetime Emmys just a couple weeks ago, two 256 00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:47.600 of them Hacks on HBO Max Hacks and Apple TV's 257 00:12:47.720 --> 00:12:51.399 The Morning Show. Those two are the only two to 258 00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:53.639 have been filmed in California. 259 00:12:53.799 --> 00:12:57.200 Other states and countries have been ramping up incentives to 260 00:12:57.320 --> 00:13:01.600 arrest productions away from California, and it's working. This is 261 00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:04.600 a warning sign that we are no longer the worldwide 262 00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:05.679 leader in entertainment. 263 00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:07.919 Well, one of the things that we have done as 264 00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:12.480 a result we being California is right now we have 265 00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:15.159 a three hundred and thirty million dollar film and Television 266 00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:18.360 tax credit program, which offers studios and producers credits of 267 00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:21.679 up to twenty five million based on eligible spending of 268 00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:25.639 twenty to thirty percent on productions in the state. But 269 00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:28.440 we may need to triple the size of our program 270 00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:31.320 and expand the types of productions that can apply for this. 271 00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:37.279 Just give you an idea of recently, the the movie 272 00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:40.279 Wicked that is coming out later this year was filmed 273 00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:44.200 almost entirely in the UK. All of the Marvel movies, 274 00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:48.440 Think Avengers, Captain America, all those, most of that is 275 00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:54.639 based in Georgia. Barbie, for example, another huge movie that 276 00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:57.200 came out last couple of years, filmed. 277 00:13:56.879 --> 00:13:58.559 Almost entirely in London. 278 00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:01.960 TV show Why Master Chef, you know, the Gordon Ramsay 279 00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:05.159 show that's going to be outside the United States for 280 00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:06.799 the first time. It's going to be out of La 281 00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:10.679 the Floor, the game show Beat Shazam, the game show 282 00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:15.360 named that tune. They're all now shot in Ireland as 283 00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:17.440 part of a production deal that was formed a couple 284 00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:18.360 of years ago. 285 00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:22.519 So how do we get this? What exactly happened? They 286 00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:23.399 said that. 287 00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:27.720 A time when Hollywood's working class has already seen its 288 00:14:27.759 --> 00:14:30.840 financial reserves drained by the strikes from last year, a 289 00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:33.639 bunch of these major production houses are setting up shops 290 00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:37.159 in other states, even other countries, which generates frustration for 291 00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:39.799 crew workers find it harder than ever to find employment 292 00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:43.360 during COVID For example, I knew a guy who was 293 00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:47.879 working set construction. He picked up and moved for two 294 00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:51.399 full years because of the restrictions on productions here in 295 00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:56.320 the state of California, specifically with COVID. If you look 296 00:14:56.360 --> 00:15:00.039 at the Employment Development Department, the information sectors of the 297 00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:03.159 largest monthly decline in jobs from July to August, largely 298 00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:07.039 because of the motion picture and sound recording industries. Jobs 299 00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:11.679 dropped by four thousand to under one hundred thousand. That's 300 00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:13.720 about four and a half percent higher than the total 301 00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:17.240 job count a year ago at the peak of the 302 00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:20.159 writers and actors strikes. And then you had, of course 303 00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:24.120 contract negotiations between IATZI and the teamsters that took place, 304 00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:27.279 and everybody was mad because they didn't trust the workers 305 00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:31.279 and studios to actually follow through on the promises that 306 00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:33.519 they were supposedly asking for or making. 307 00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:34.279 Say. 308 00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:38.519 One of the major factors is the question of above 309 00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:42.960 the line pay. California does not permit productions to include 310 00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:46.320 the salaries of actors, directors, and other top talent towards 311 00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:49.799 any tax credits, but places like Georgia and the UK 312 00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:54.279 say that the above the line salaries can be deducted, 313 00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:58.200 which is a major reason why major films are going there. 314 00:15:58.480 --> 00:15:59.960 Yeah, that's real money. 315 00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:04.159 Not just the actors, but the types of shows. Because 316 00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:08.000 game shows, commercials, animated films, they're not eligible for those 317 00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:09.080 tax credits for the moment. 318 00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:11.679 Is this why you haven't hosted a game show recently? 319 00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:13.639 That is exactly the reason. 320 00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:16.559 Yeah, they went fly you to Georgia to do that. 321 00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:20.360 They would not right now. 322 00:16:20.799 --> 00:16:23.360 The issue of how much in total tax credit the 323 00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:27.120 state's the state allocates to eligible productions. Georgia does not 324 00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:29.720 have a cap on its tax credit program, which is 325 00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:33.679 why you're seeing some massive studios. Tyler Perry's billion dollar 326 00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:36.080 studio that's going up is in Georgia. 327 00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:38.600 A lot of the Amazon productions that we've seen. 328 00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:43.000 I'm looking at Jack Reacher, the new series on Amazon 329 00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:48.320 that was filmed entirely in Georgia. They said that Georgia 330 00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:51.039 has no cap on its tax credit program. New York 331 00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:54.919 increased its cap up to seven hundred million, and like 332 00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:57.879 I said, our tax credit program, despite the fact that 333 00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:00.799 we have a much larger industry, is still capped at 334 00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:03.679 three hundred and thirty million. The teamster's goal is to 335 00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:06.960 triple that amount, expand that to one billion, because if 336 00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:10.279 nothing else. It at least fits the scale of the 337 00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:14.039 production business here in the state of California. But that's 338 00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:15.680 going to be a hard sell because the state of 339 00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:18.440 California doesn't have any money. And I can't wait to 340 00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:19.960 see Gavenowsom walking around. 341 00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:21.319 The hallways today. I'd ask him more about it. 342 00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:25.599 Yeah, but no pictures. Remember, Yeah, the it is beaten 343 00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:26.119 down the door. 344 00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:29.400 The Tampa International Airport's going to close at two am 345 00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:30.640 because of the hurricane. 346 00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:32.440 They're going to shut down the airport. 347 00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:33.440 I could see that. 348 00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:36.440 So that is going to snarl things if you're headed 349 00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:41.440 to the East coast or through any sort of Yeah, 350 00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:41.839 just check. 351 00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:46.039 I mean, airlines are already releasing different alerts for that. 352 00:17:46.559 --> 00:17:50.559 North Carolina has declared a state of emergency at COORDA 353 00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:54.720 ahead of Hurricane Helen touching down there. You've got Florida 354 00:17:54.759 --> 00:17:58.279 A and M, University of Tampa, Florida, State, University of 355 00:17:58.279 --> 00:17:59.839 Florida all have closed down. 356 00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:03.640 Yeah, and we're more than twenty four hours away from landfall. 357 00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:06.680 They said it could be a high end Category three 358 00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:09.319 with one hundred and twenty five mile per hour wins 359 00:18:09.319 --> 00:18:11.759 by the time it makes landfall tomorrow night. 360 00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:14.799 I guess that's good news, and that it's not a 361 00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:15.839 four or a five. 362 00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:20.799 It might be a category four. They said during Landfall 363 00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:26.440 last night at the end of the Dodgers Padres PA 364 00:18:31.279 --> 00:18:34.920 such a better call. It's always such a better call. Well, 365 00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:36.799 this was Joe Davis on KLA City. 366 00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:41.160 Smoke the third me Toronto steps on the back like 367 00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:45.880 all the way around and turn a triple play ten 368 00:18:46.079 --> 00:18:49.400 the game been impossible.
