A Joe, what do you 14 00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:05.519 think it's just all about? And the story is there 15 00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:12.560 was a wrongful death case in Florida's disney Land area. 16 00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:16.159 I guess somebody ate some bad food at an Irish 17 00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:21.280 bar in Disney Springs. Do you know what Disney Springs 18 00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:21.480 is in? 19 00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:23.680 I think I do, And I don't want to call 20 00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:24.560 it bad food. 21 00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:27.280 I mean they made it clear that they had an allergy, 22 00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:32.359 like a deathly you know, like anaphylactic shock kind of allergy. 23 00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:35.000 And thanks, thanks for correcting that. 24 00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:37.760 Yeah, it wasn't just bad food. It wasn't like food 25 00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:40.200 that was rotting or anything. They have high quality and 26 00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:41.439 high services over there. 27 00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:42.879 It's just they were it was. 28 00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:49.959 Bad for her. Yeah, so they're going after them for 29 00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:53.680 a wrongful death claim. Now, in the wrongful death claim 30 00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:55.920 they will have to go through and there'll be a 31 00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:59.359 lot of issues of fact of like, well, did she 32 00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:05.480 communicate her allergies, did they were they negligent? Did they 33 00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:08.360 do it on purpose because they wanted to kill her? Yeah? 34 00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:11.479 All this stuff. So, but before we get to that 35 00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:13.159 point and do you have anything to add to the 36 00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:16.599 fact pattern on this one, Sam. 37 00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:19.120 I'm thinking that they I think she tried to inform 38 00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:21.400 them or she informed them that she had the allergy, 39 00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:25.919 and it was like one of the I think they 40 00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:28.759 asked if there was anything that she was allergic to 41 00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:32.319 in that specific dish, and they said that they didn't 42 00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:34.159 have the thing that she was allergic to in the dish, 43 00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:36.639 And it turns out that they had it and she 44 00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:38.840 became deathly ill as a result. 45 00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:44.039 You know what, I My sister is a celiac otherwise 46 00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:51.240 otherwise known as a food karen. So every time I 47 00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:53.319 eat with her. I got it. You know, we got 48 00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:57.000 to go through this process. And you know, I'm like, well, 49 00:02:57.039 --> 00:02:58.919 you know, she's a really nice lady. She just has these, 50 00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:01.960 you know, things she needs. She doesn't mean to be 51 00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:06.960 this abrupt, but you know she's tired of it. She's 52 00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.159 going it's hard for her to eat. You know, she's good. 53 00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:12.199 Do you have any gluten? Is there? I can't have 54 00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:14.719 a tortilla on my plate. You know, they don't understand that. 55 00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:16.400 You can't like, well, I'm going to bring you the 56 00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:19.120 whole week bread and you just toss it aside. No, no, 57 00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:21.360 I can't have it on my plate. You know, it's 58 00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:25.280 pretty it's pretty serious. So I've seen this, and I 59 00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:28.520 have I'd say about one percent of the waiters know 60 00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:32.000 what the hell they're talking about. Yeah, they're always saying, 61 00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:35.199 oh this, oh yeah, there's no gluten in the you 62 00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:37.840 know X or y Oh there's no gluten in this, 63 00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:42.000 there's no gluten in that, And like these people they 64 00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:46.120 don't know anything. And sometimes it's bad training. Sometimes they're 65 00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:49.000 just you know, they maybe they're too young to know 66 00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:56.599 people that have this problem. So I believe it's possible 67 00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:00.879 that the waiter could have what they're saying the waiter 68 00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:04.039 guaranteed that the food was allergen free, even though some 69 00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:07.719 of the items were not served with allergen free flags 70 00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:12.439 like in the menu. I believe that the waiter. It's 71 00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:16.560 possible the waiter made some assertions that were false. 72 00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:18.319 Sounds like a dumb waiter. 73 00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:21.120 Ooh, pretty good, pretty good? 74 00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:24.240 Yeah it was okay, it wasn't great, but I'll take 75 00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:25.120 it six out of ten. 76 00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:26.920 But if I was the waiter, I would say, what's 77 00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:30.399 wrong with the world and all your frickin' allergies that 78 00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:34.040 you people have? And I would I would. I would say, 79 00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:36.680 you know, would I would? I would go the anti 80 00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:38.560 vax route on his thing. I go, this is not 81 00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:42.439 my fault. This is the American government's fault for giving 82 00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:46.319 every baby thirty two vaccines when they're born. And I'm 83 00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:48.439 not smart enough to know whether that's good or bad 84 00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:50.879 for you. But that's what I would do if I 85 00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:52.839 was that guy. I mean, is this guy gonna be 86 00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:56.279 charged with negligent homicide? I mean, is that what's coming? 87 00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:57.000 I don't know. 88 00:04:57.480 --> 00:04:58.480 That's okay, we don't know. 89 00:04:58.639 --> 00:04:59.600 Fantastic question. 90 00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:04.399 Yeah, it certainly is. So, I mean, does he still 91 00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:08.759 have his you know job and they got to fire him. 92 00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:10.519 You know, someone's got to take the fall, Like one 93 00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:12.839 waiter really isn't enough for the human life. 94 00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:16.839 But you know who's Alan Baldwin. 95 00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:19.600 It's probably his fault, it. 96 00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:22.079 Is, I mean, because I could see the similarities between 97 00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:23.319 this case and the rest case. 98 00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:25.959 Yeah, I mean it's his fault. 99 00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:31.160 You you have a point, Okay, So let's get to 100 00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:34.480 why this case is so crazy. So they file the 101 00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:39.680 lawsuit and then the Disney says, no, no, no, this 102 00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:43.879 case has to go to arbitration. And so you so 103 00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:47.759 they're trying to deny the plaintiff, which is the spouse 104 00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:50.920 of the of the dead person, denying that plaint of 105 00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:52.800 the right to go to court and to use the 106 00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:55.079 court system. And you might say that sounds like a 107 00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:57.879 violation of his constitutional rights not to be able to 108 00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:03.040 use the court system to settle a dispute with Disney. 109 00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:07.079 Isn't that a basic right? Well not for this guy, 110 00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:11.879 because this guy and he should have known, I mean, 111 00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:15.160 if he really loved his wife, Sam, he should have 112 00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:19.600 read the fine print in the Disney plus agreement that 113 00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:24.279 he signed when he signed up to watch Mandalorian. In 114 00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:28.319 that agreement that he should have read it says any 115 00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:31.920 disputes that you have with the Disney Corporation will be 116 00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:37.319 settled in arbitration, not in the courts. So he signed it. 117 00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:41.279 He's a grown man. Why should Disney have to go 118 00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:43.480 and fight this guy in the courts when clearly he 119 00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:47.120 already agreed to an arbitration. It's hard for me to 120 00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:49.279 say this with this great place, but that is Disney's argument. 121 00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:51.759 I mean, I'm really I'm doing my best to not 122 00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:58.839 laugh at at the somebody's death, but this is ridiculous. 123 00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:01.240 It's like I'm laughing at the tragedy. 124 00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:04.879 I don't want to laugh everything. But I mean, these guys, 125 00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:12.399 the Disney lawyers, just heroes in the in uh, in 126 00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:16.040 the uh, in the realm of that part of hell 127 00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:17.040 where the lawyers go. 128 00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:22.600 I mean, seriously, these guys are now on the mount 129 00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:24.639 Rushmore of douchebag lawyering. 130 00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:28.759 They're heroes. I mean, they're they're legends. I'd say heroes 131 00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:31.279 is not the really word, because they're awful for doing this, 132 00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:34.920 but they are legends. And it's a lesson for people. 133 00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:37.360 If you want to go to law school, uh, and 134 00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:39.519 you want to be a lawyer, this is the kind 135 00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:45.639 of stuff you're headed for, so you know, get your 136 00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:52.199 say your prayers because you're doomed. I mean, I just 137 00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:55.319 can't believe somebody said, yeah, that's good, we'll go we'll 138 00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:58.399 go that way, and it's not like this is this 139 00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:02.519 is why you know, we all agree that guy should 140 00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:04.399 have read the thing and and and he should have known. 141 00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:07.920 I mean, he agreed to it. He did agree to it. 142 00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:11.759 You know, everybody reads those things before they sign up 143 00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:13.720 for Disney Plus. You read them, Sam, I read them. 144 00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:17.000 Hey, I get I have to get glasses specifically to 145 00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:18.000 read this fine print. 146 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:20.240 Yeah, you take them, and I know you've you've you've 147 00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:21.959 sent them to me, and you've paid me five hundred 148 00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:24.639 dollars an hour to to mark them up and send 149 00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:26.800 them back to the Disney Company. I still have. I'm 150 00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:28.720 still waiting to hear back from them on their comments 151 00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:31.439 on your last Disney Plus thing. And I know that 152 00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:33.080 you will sign up for Disney Plus as soon as 153 00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:36.559 we finish that negotiation, not before. 154 00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:38.440 Still waiting to see Mandalorian. 155 00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:44.440 Yeah. So uh, but it's not like these guys are 156 00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:48.440 saying we think we should win because you did X 157 00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:51.360 and it's a technicality and Hey, we hate to pull 158 00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:53.320 out the technicality, but it's a lot of money, and 159 00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:54.960 we want to win, and it's our job to win, 160 00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:58.399 So we want to win. We are dropping the nuclear 161 00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:02.240 bomb technology a technicality, and we're gonna win. We're going 162 00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:04.320 to say you have to arbitrate. But that doesn't even 163 00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:07.159 that doesn't make them win. That all that does is 164 00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:09.840 say like an arbitrator is going to decide instead of 165 00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:13.039 a judge. And what is an arbitrator. He's basically a 166 00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:19.279 retired judge. So you're not even guaranteed to win the case. 167 00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:22.440 By doing this awful thing. All you're doing is putting 168 00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:25.080 in a different form. Why couldn't somebody say, hey, look, 169 00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:27.960 let's just take our chances in court, and let's put 170 00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:31.559 out the best case we can put and and let's 171 00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:33.960 try to win. Because if we try to prevent this 172 00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:37.240 person from exercising their civil rights to have a trial, 173 00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:41.720 not only is this not America anymore, we're all going 174 00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:44.559 to hell. You realize that everyone in this room, we're 175 00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:48.960 all going to hell? And why are we going to hell? 176 00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:51.080 It would be one thing if we're going to hell, 177 00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:53.240 because we're gonna win this victory, and we're all gonna 178 00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:57.639 get bonuses. No, we're going to hell, and we're going 179 00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:01.639 to still have to try this case and we might lose. Now, 180 00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:04.960 we're going to lose the case possibly and go to Hell. 181 00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:08.200 We're going to perish on Earth and in the afterlife. 182 00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:11.600 That's what's going on here, and that's why somebody should 183 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:12.159 have thought of that. 184 00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:15.279 And honest to God, I swear there's one of the 185 00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:18.799 lawyers in that room sitting there saying to themselves, I 186 00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:21.200 just wanted a job at Disney. I wanted four free 187 00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:24.159 tickets to Disneyland every day. This is not what we 188 00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:26.759 signed up for. No, it's every day. If you're an employee, 189 00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:27.320 it's every day. 190 00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:30.279 Every day. You go, okay, good for you. I wanted 191 00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:34.240 to get a thirty five percent discount on merchandise at Disneyland, 192 00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:37.440 and that's all I wanted. I wanted to buy big 193 00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:44.159 giant popcorn holders that stay in landfills for you know, generations. 194 00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:47.279 I got the one and from Japan. It's really nice 195 00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:49.919 and it will yeah the popcorn holder holder, Yeah, and 196 00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:52.000 it will last for long after I'm dead. 197 00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:54.720 What do you do? I'm glad. I would like to 198 00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:57.960 interview somebody who buys these popcorn holders, because it's a 199 00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:00.600 mystery to me. What do you do with the holder 200 00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:01.279 when you get home? 201 00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:06.120 I let it hold dust. I find it very effective at. 202 00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:10.360 It, okay, because that's all. Was it fun to take 203 00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:11.919 it back in your suitcase from Japan? 204 00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:14.639 Absolutely? My kid plays with it every once in a 205 00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:16.639 while because it's one that's active. It has like a 206 00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:19.960 little it's like small world. Oh okay, yeah, it has 207 00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:21.480 moving pieces. It's really cute. 208 00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:28.559 I went to Disneyland on Friday. There was a I'm 209 00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:32.159 ashamed to admit this, but there was a Haunted Mansion 210 00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:37.759 tiki mug available with the girl in the parasol on 211 00:11:38.039 --> 00:11:43.480 the tight rope above the alligator from the elongated Haunted 212 00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:46.360 Mansion paintings in the beginning. 213 00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:49.279 So that's pretty cool. 214 00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:51.240 My wife had to have one, and some of her 215 00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:53.360 friends had to have one. So we went out there 216 00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:57.600 and had a drink and they served the drink in 217 00:11:57.679 --> 00:12:01.120 the thing, and then we walk. We do what I 218 00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:04.720 call a pickle walk. This is one of my ways 219 00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:07.879 to try to not gain weight when I go to Disneyland, 220 00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:10.480 because everything at Disneyland is pretty much bad for you. 221 00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:12.960 But if you get a pickle and walk around both 222 00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:18.000 parks and get your exercise in. Think you win. So 223 00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:21.600 that's that's the pickle walk, Joe Scalante, pickle walk. That's 224 00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:25.919 my tip for Disneyland, for you annual pass holders. That's 225 00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:27.919 for pass holders. You know that they go there and 226 00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:30.200 they don't have to pay to get in. Do a 227 00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:35.480 pickle walk. Great pickle Sam. All right, let's take a break, right, Yeah, 228 00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:37.559 take a break. Come, oh, check the traffic and we'll 229 00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:40.200 come back with more Joe Scalante Live from Hollywood, where 230 00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:43.399 we're going to talk about one of the biggest sexual 231 00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:48.039 scandals of all the entertainment history and sports involved too. 232 00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:52.519 It takes over everything all right after this Joe Scalante 233 00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:55.519 Live from Hollywood, if by Hollywood you mean Burbank two 234 00:12:55.559 --> 00:12:58.720 hours of the Business end of show Business. We got 235 00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:02.559 a bombs story that came out this week about Casey Wasserman, 236 00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:05.879 the head of the Wasserman Group, which is a huge 237 00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:10.919 agency that represents people like Billie Eilish and he's also 238 00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:14.519 the head of the Summer Olympic Committee that's in charge 239 00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:17.399 of putting the Olympics together in Los Angeles in twenty 240 00:13:17.799 --> 00:13:18.399 twenty eight. 241 00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:21.720 Yeah, you see robbing everywhere. 242 00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:26.440 Yeah, and full disclosure. He the agency Wasserman Group represents 243 00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:29.279 a client of mine, never had any problems with them, 244 00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:35.960 but his wife has his Evidently it's kind of a 245 00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:39.559 well known secret that he's a womanizer. And the headlines 246 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:45.000 were saying that he was a serial cheater who compulsively 247 00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:49.600 slept with his employees and love bombed them with gifts, 248 00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:54.320 a lot of shoes and cars, range Rovers. He was 249 00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:58.600 always buying these ladies a Range Rover and a bag, 250 00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:02.440 bags and stuff like that. I just bought my wife 251 00:14:02.720 --> 00:14:05.840 a Range Rover, so I know what he's The women 252 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:08.600 love the range Rovers. You buy a woman a Range Rover, 253 00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:12.080 she's yours. Now, it's it's really good to just buy 254 00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:16.720 one for your wife. But you know what, before we 255 00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:18.960 passed judgment, what if we had all the money in 256 00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:21.879 the world and we could buy range Rovers for any 257 00:14:21.879 --> 00:14:25.279 girl that you know, looked at us in a friendly way, 258 00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:26.919 you know, we all might get out of hand. 259 00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:29.559 Huh, right, Sam, Maybe if we had that kind of 260 00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:32.360 money and nobody ever checked us and was like saying, hey, 261 00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:34.480 you might that might not be appropriate. 262 00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:42.080 No, it's it's it's it's it's it's a dangerous world 263 00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:44.519 out there for some of these people, and is Lou 264 00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:48.399 Wasserman was according to people, I talked to his grandfather 265 00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:55.759 a womanizer, and this guy the womanizer, and he was very, 266 00:14:56.039 --> 00:15:01.159 very powerful. So now you know, the sleeping with people 267 00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:03.879 you work with is a no note, shows bad judgment. 268 00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:09.279 And one of his girlfriends was the flight attendant on 269 00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:15.399 the private jet and that's inappropriate. And there was some 270 00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:19.759 mile high club things that she admitted, and I guess 271 00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:25.799 she wrote a letter to the wife explaining their affair. So, yeah, 272 00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:29.679 you can be as clever as you want, but if 273 00:15:29.720 --> 00:15:36.080 you're what do they call those, a philanderer, your side piece. 274 00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:39.919 Or your side Yeah. 275 00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:41.879 She could just send an email to your wife and 276 00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:45.080 then you're screwed. But anyway, this is the way the 277 00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:48.200 guy operated. Seems like he didn't have any moral base 278 00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:50.519 at all. He was just I take whatever I take. 279 00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:53.879 And he was gifted one hundred million dollars in a 280 00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:56.039 trust that he got when he reached a certain age. 281 00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:59.200 But then when his mother died, I think all the 282 00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:03.360 or at least half of the of the fortune came 283 00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:05.480 to him from the Wasserman fortune. So this guy has 284 00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:10.240 more money than anyone that we've ever met. I don't 285 00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:13.519 know what the circles you're running in. But this guy 286 00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:16.919 seems to be one of the richest guys around and 287 00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:20.639 he's a big political player. He had he had a 288 00:16:20.879 --> 00:16:27.480 fiftieth birthday party where Bill Clinton came. That's interesting. Nancy Pelosi, 289 00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:37.799 Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris, ah, Now imagine dragons and Kamala 290 00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:41.399 Harris's husband, Doug em Off went to his party. So 291 00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:43.159 he's really he's a man of the people with his 292 00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:50.720 Democratic friends, and he has been seen with Jeff Epstein 293 00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:56.639 and so he's in that world. So does anyone surprise 294 00:16:56.759 --> 00:16:58.279 by this. Nobody's surprised. 295 00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:02.559 They this is kind of like the mo of everybody 296 00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:06.519 who came up in that generation who hadn't that much money. 297 00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:11.359 They just didn't have anybody checking their behavior. And nowadays, 298 00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:13.920 with me too, there's a lot and with social media, 299 00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:16.960 there's a lot more eyes on them. And history tends to, 300 00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:22.559 you know, hindsight seems to have twenty twenty vision, I guess. 301 00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:28.880 And he's married going through divorce when this came out, 302 00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:31.200 because she's been pissed off about it for a long time. 303 00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:35.680 Evidently it became public he was cheating five years into 304 00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:39.400 their marriage. They were married. Interesting about this because I 305 00:17:39.400 --> 00:17:42.039 know you're thinking, oh, what's she going to get in 306 00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:45.240 this divorce? Well, she's going to get everything because they've 307 00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:50.400 been married since she was twenty one and she's sixty now, 308 00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:54.920 and there's no pre nups when you're getting married at 309 00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:58.079 age twenty one back then, you know the likelihood of 310 00:17:58.119 --> 00:18:01.720 one even one. What would it say after she's married 311 00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:08.319 to this guy for you know, thirty nine years, she's 312 00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:11.400 getting She's going to be now the richest person in Hollywood, 313 00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:13.640 is what I'm going to say. I got some interesting 314 00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:17.359 stuff about some conspiracy theories about Lou Washerman too. I'm 315 00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:18.880 going to talk about when we come back from the break. 316 00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:25.839 Joe'sclante Live from Hollywood, Joe'scolante Live from Hollywood. If by 317 00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:31.200 Hollywood you mean Burbank two hours of the business end 318 00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:33.559 of show business every Sunday here in k E. I 319 00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:39.440 B eleven fifty on your AM dial. The podcast they 320 00:18:39.480 --> 00:18:41.920 come later, and then you can always, you know, listen 321 00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:45.720 to the podcasts, subscribe all that kind of stuff. Let's see, 322 00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:52.160 now we're talking about Lou Osman, the head of the 323 00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:55.400 Summer Olympics Committee, and I guess I don't know I 324 00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:58.079 haven't heard anything of him, you know, resigning yet, but 325 00:18:58.200 --> 00:19:01.640 he's been caught in a skin handle because everybody decided 326 00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:07.200 now is the time to write articles about all the 327 00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:10.279 compulsive sleeping with employees that he had been doing. And 328 00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:13.519 then the lady and the private jet I made in 329 00:19:13.519 --> 00:19:15.799 the private jet store. I think that was maybe already 330 00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:19.440 out because I thought i'd heard about that, or maybe 331 00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:24.640 maybe other people sleeping with their private jet attendance. I was. 332 00:19:24.880 --> 00:19:27.839 I was on a private jet recently because you know, 333 00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:31.759 I am a rock and roll manager now, and there 334 00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:34.599 was an attendant and I did not sleep with him. 335 00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:37.680 And just to let people know that you're you're getting 336 00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:42.400 your news from from an untainted source in this this world. 337 00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:45.240 But as I said before, one of my clients only 338 00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:48.720 have one client is represented by these people, and they're 339 00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:50.359 all great, and all the people there, you know, this 340 00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:55.039 doesn't reflect on the employees of the Washerman group. You know, 341 00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:57.880 the guy's a predator and he loved bombs people with 342 00:19:58.920 --> 00:20:04.000 cars and eggs and jewelry. But then they say he 343 00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:08.400 drops them like a hot potato, and that's shocking to 344 00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:11.119 these people. Do you have any insight, You're you're kind 345 00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:14.720 of like a therapist. Well, you are a therapist in 346 00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:17.640 this in this world. 347 00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:21.119 Yes, yes I am. I am a mental health professional. 348 00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:25.640 Uh yeah, what what what? What? What's your analysis? Uh? 349 00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:30.799 You know, armchair as it is? Uh, Casey Washerman. 350 00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:33.160 Well, I try not to diagnose people that I don't 351 00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:36.000 know or meet personally as you know, you know, as 352 00:20:36.039 --> 00:20:38.920 a therapist in a clinical setting. But that sounds an 353 00:20:39.039 --> 00:20:45.079 awful lot like narcissism, just classic narcissism where he loves bombs, 354 00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:47.759 because it's almost every time he loves bomb. It's like 355 00:20:48.359 --> 00:20:50.640 he loves bombs a girl. It's like he's handing them 356 00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:54.759 a mirror and then admiring himself in it until he 357 00:20:54.799 --> 00:20:57.480 finds somebody else who's prettier and younger to hold that 358 00:20:57.519 --> 00:21:00.000 mirror for him, and then he takes that mirror immediately 359 00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:02.119 away from them, hands it to someone else, and starts 360 00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:05.079 to admire himself in that mirror with that other person 361 00:21:05.119 --> 00:21:08.240 holding it. And that mirror is like all the gifts 362 00:21:08.279 --> 00:21:10.279 and everything and all that stuff and the love bombing 363 00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:13.039 and the attention, but really all of that stuff is 364 00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:15.200 just here, hold this mirror for me so that I 365 00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:16.319 can admire myself. 366 00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:23.039 Well, interestingly, he was raised by his grandfather, the Lou Washerman, 367 00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:25.119 the guy we were talking about, who evidently was also 368 00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:28.000 a womanizer. I wonder why where his dad is in between, 369 00:21:28.079 --> 00:21:30.079 Like who's you know, what's not all about? You got 370 00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:33.720 Lou Wasserman, then you got Casey Wasserman. Oh Sid was 371 00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:37.359 it Sid Washerman? I think maybe it was. I don't remember. 372 00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:41.880 But he's largely raised by this grandfather and grandfather's got 373 00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:47.680 his own issues. There's here's the conspiracy sam according to 374 00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:51.440 this book called Dark Victory by this guy named Dan Mouldea. 375 00:21:54.039 --> 00:21:59.160 It's it also inspired like a TV documentary in twenty 376 00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:05.400 seventeen Ronald Reagan involves Ronald Reagan. Washerman was the link, 377 00:22:05.559 --> 00:22:09.400 this is Lou Washerman between the mafia, the Hollywood film 378 00:22:09.400 --> 00:22:15.279 industry and Reagan, who obtained very lucrative deals as an 379 00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:20.279 actor with Washerman as his agent, and Washerman was allowed 380 00:22:20.279 --> 00:22:23.200 to be like an agent for people and the president 381 00:22:23.200 --> 00:22:27.039 of MCA at the same time. By nineteen forty seven, Okay, 382 00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:29.200 this is a long time ago, but this is when 383 00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:32.519 you know, this is when this guy's Lou Wasserman is 384 00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:35.160 just coming up in the industry. By nineteen forty seven, 385 00:22:35.599 --> 00:22:38.400 just after Al Capone died, and still with the help 386 00:22:38.440 --> 00:22:42.559 of his alliance with the Underworld, Washerman was instrumental in 387 00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:45.359 helping Reagan to become the president of the Screen Actors Guild, 388 00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:49.359 which kicked off Reagan's rise to power. Reagan allowed MCA 389 00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:53.599 to work both as a producer as well as an agent. 390 00:22:53.880 --> 00:22:57.799 That's a typo. He allowed Washerman to work both as 391 00:22:57.799 --> 00:23:01.039 a producer as an agent, which enabled them to earn 392 00:23:01.200 --> 00:23:04.599 huge income somehow. Anyway, what do you think of that? 393 00:23:05.279 --> 00:23:07.720 I thought that the whole big thing was that he 394 00:23:07.880 --> 00:23:10.319 was the one that Washerman was the one that introduced 395 00:23:10.359 --> 00:23:11.519 Reagan to Bonzo. 396 00:23:13.720 --> 00:23:16.599 Well, Bonzo didn't come up in this article. 397 00:23:16.519 --> 00:23:20.880 But clearly I was mistaken. Maybe that's another scandal altogether. 398 00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:24.640 But wow, that what you're saying is even more mind blowing. 399 00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:29.200 Even more mind boning than the Bonzo story. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 400 00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:33.160 that that Washerman was was a It's kind of It's 401 00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:34.839
