WEBVTT

00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:17.280
<v Speaker 1>Joe Escalante live from Hollywood, if by Hollywood you mean Burbank,

2
00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:19.679
<v Speaker 1>across the street from a Wiener Schnitzel that serves beer.

3
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:22.399
<v Speaker 1>And we are two hours of the business end of

4
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:27.199
<v Speaker 1>show business. I'm joined here by engineer Sam, producer Nikki,

5
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:31.079
<v Speaker 1>and we are going to get at it today. I've

6
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:35.240
<v Speaker 1>got way too many stories and I didn't see any

7
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:36.920
<v Speaker 1>movies in the theater, so I'm going to give away

8
00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:38.920
<v Speaker 1>that right now. We'll get to that in a little bit.

9
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:40.399
<v Speaker 1>How are you guys doing.

10
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:44.840
<v Speaker 2>Doing good? Joe, missed you. Good to hang out with

11
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:45.280
<v Speaker 2>you again.

12
00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:51.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, thank you. We were separated for a while, and yeah,

13
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:55.200
<v Speaker 1>i was doing a little traveling and then I'm going

14
00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:58.960
<v Speaker 1>to set my stop watch here so that could be

15
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:02.880
<v Speaker 1>a little more professional. Now. No one can see me

16
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:04.200
<v Speaker 1>in my bathrobe, right.

17
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:08.959
<v Speaker 2>No, but I can imagine just how glorious that bathrobe is.

18
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:12.280
<v Speaker 3>Right now, I can hear it.

19
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:16.319
<v Speaker 1>Relax voice. I got to stop wearing my bathrobe into

20
00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:19.439
<v Speaker 1>the studio. I mean, because that walk from the parking

21
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:21.840
<v Speaker 1>structure to the studio, I get a lot of weird looks.

22
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:25.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, for me, it's like the socks with the like

23
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:28.840
<v Speaker 2>the things that hold the socks up that is, you know,

24
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:32.040
<v Speaker 2>and the sand I need. It's the slippers. Like the

25
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:36.920
<v Speaker 2>combination of the robe and that whole outfit. It screams comfort.

26
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:38.959
<v Speaker 2>But I'm not sure if it's business appropriate.

27
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:43.079
<v Speaker 1>Well I need it, Okay, I need the very abstract

28
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:46.319
<v Speaker 1>silhouette for sure. You don't want to see my quitters after.

29
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:49.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure we don't if I take those. If I

30
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:53.959
<v Speaker 1>take those, uh hey, guess what last night? I uh,

31
00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:58.719
<v Speaker 1>I had a couple of shows, but Sublime, the bandit

32
00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:02.879
<v Speaker 1>that I managed, was playing at the Yamava Casino and

33
00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:07.879
<v Speaker 1>it was an iHeart Radio event for all ninety eight seven.

34
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:13.479
<v Speaker 1>And who came to meet with the managers of Sublime

35
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:18.960
<v Speaker 1>was mister Paul Corvino, the regional, the division president of

36
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:21.879
<v Speaker 1>iHeart Meetia. He's the president of all our stations and everything.

37
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:23.680
<v Speaker 1>So I met our boss.

38
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:24.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh cool, wow.

39
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:29.360
<v Speaker 1>I told him all about you guys. He's very proud

40
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:31.560
<v Speaker 1>of you, and he says he's got a lot of

41
00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:35.759
<v Speaker 1>a lot of new stuff coming up at K E.

42
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:42.840
<v Speaker 1>I B. And then he asked me to park his car.

43
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:46.319
<v Speaker 1>But everything's cool.

44
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:49.759
<v Speaker 2>That's what happens when you wear a red blazer jacket

45
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:53.080
<v Speaker 2>to functions. People just give you the keys.

46
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:55.759
<v Speaker 1>That's true. That's true. And if you're and if you're

47
00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:58.360
<v Speaker 1>at all Mexican, I've noticed that people I do ask

48
00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:01.039
<v Speaker 1>that people have asked me to park their car. I'm

49
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:04.319
<v Speaker 1>not I'm not. I'm not kidding. And I used to

50
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:06.240
<v Speaker 1>be a valet parker so I can park the car.

51
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:09.680
<v Speaker 2>See I was too. That was one of my first jobs.

52
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:11.919
<v Speaker 1>Where did you Where did you park cars.

53
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:13.000
<v Speaker 2>At a hotel in Michigan?

54
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:16.000
<v Speaker 1>What was the name of the hotel?

55
00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:18.599
<v Speaker 2>The Bell Tower Hotel in Ann Arbor, Michigan. If you

56
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:23.199
<v Speaker 2>ever played at Hill Auditorium, it was right across the street.

57
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:28.159
<v Speaker 1>Sold it out eight nights. Just kidding. I I parked

58
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:31.919
<v Speaker 1>the Irvine Hilton and Towers where you didn't even get

59
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:35.280
<v Speaker 1>to bring your You didn't even get to keep your tips.

60
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:39.599
<v Speaker 1>This is what a racket this was for the parking company. Yeah.

61
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:41.879
<v Speaker 1>You you, someone comes up and gives you a tip,

62
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:46.080
<v Speaker 1>you hand it to the manager on duty. So here's

63
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:48.439
<v Speaker 1>but first you put it in your pocket. They tell you,

64
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:50.719
<v Speaker 1>first put it in your pocket so it looks like

65
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:53.759
<v Speaker 1>you're getting it, because if they were, they knew you

66
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:56.439
<v Speaker 1>were handing it over to this evil manager, they wouldn't

67
00:03:56.439 --> 00:03:59.240
<v Speaker 1>give you a tip, so you have so like, okay, well,

68
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:02.120
<v Speaker 1>how's this. I have a dollar bill in my pocket

69
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:05.280
<v Speaker 1>at all times. Anyone gives me a five to ten

70
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:07.759
<v Speaker 1>or a twenty, i'd put it in the pocket, I

71
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:09.520
<v Speaker 1>change it for the dollar bill and that's what I

72
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:11.680
<v Speaker 1>give to you. And you'll never know unless you go

73
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:13.759
<v Speaker 1>inside my pockets and I told you to stop doing that.

74
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:15.560
<v Speaker 1>I would file acclaim with HR.

75
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:21.959
<v Speaker 2>Very nice. Hey, that's keeping your tips. I'm okay with you. Yeah.

76
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:25.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. It was a little you know, underground. But the

77
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:28.120
<v Speaker 1>other perk was, well, the only perk was I could

78
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:30.680
<v Speaker 1>wear my valet outfit on the weekends and go back

79
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:32.920
<v Speaker 1>to that hotel and get into the boxing matches for free.

80
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:35.279
<v Speaker 1>Could you just walk in the back door like it's

81
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:36.639
<v Speaker 1>a Valet parker walking around.

82
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:40.560
<v Speaker 2>Awesome. Well that's pretty good actually.

83
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:44.199
<v Speaker 1>And that way, those people that were beating the crap

84
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:47.480
<v Speaker 1>out of each other got less money. I guess that's

85
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:54.240
<v Speaker 1>not a great story either. Okay, all right, let's go

86
00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:59.519
<v Speaker 1>to let's go to the big story that we've been

87
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:02.839
<v Speaker 1>talking about out for a couple of weeks now, the

88
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:11.839
<v Speaker 1>Disney people and they're suing people. If you remember they

89
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:16.199
<v Speaker 1>had someone sued them for a wrongful death claim. And

90
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:19.360
<v Speaker 1>then they said, we got to go to arbitration. You

91
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:23.399
<v Speaker 1>can't use the courts. And the spouse of the dead

92
00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:25.839
<v Speaker 1>person says, why can't I use the courts? Everybody can

93
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:28.360
<v Speaker 1>use the courts, and Disney said, you have to use

94
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:30.879
<v Speaker 1>arbitration because when you signed up for Disney Plus a

95
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:33.959
<v Speaker 1>while ago, you didn't read the fine print, and you

96
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:37.360
<v Speaker 1>have to go to arbitration every time. Anytime you have

97
00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:39.720
<v Speaker 1>any dispute with the Disney Company, you have to go

98
00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:43.800
<v Speaker 1>to arbitration, even if it's us poisoning your wife with

99
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:50.000
<v Speaker 1>some dangerous food allegedly. So we were all shocked by that,

100
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:53.959
<v Speaker 1>right you were. I thought the guy should have read

101
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:54.480
<v Speaker 1>the thing.

102
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:58.639
<v Speaker 3>And well, that's your litigious side. But that's a crazy

103
00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:01.399
<v Speaker 3>fine print to include. And it was a one month

104
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:05.079
<v Speaker 3>Disney subscription, so it's not even like an ongoing subscription.

105
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:07.040
<v Speaker 1>Why not we only go for one month? What's that? All?

106
00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:09.720
<v Speaker 3>Probably wanted to watch watch some time.

107
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:14.319
<v Speaker 1>I'll watched all the Mandalorians and then quit. That's that's dishonest.

108
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:18.519
<v Speaker 3>That's how I do it. I mean, that's the watch HBO.

109
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:21.160
<v Speaker 3>I mean I just want to watch, you know, House

110
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:24.480
<v Speaker 3>of the dragon and then the season ends, and now.

111
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:26.079
<v Speaker 2>What, I have a life. I gotta go live it.

112
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:28.879
<v Speaker 1>Cancel it. I heard that season end. It was just

113
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:30.680
<v Speaker 1>like a battle and you don't even really know what happened.

114
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:31.199
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it was.

115
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:31.639
<v Speaker 2>It was.

116
00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:34.079
<v Speaker 1>It was all right, they're battling and then they're but

117
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:36.279
<v Speaker 1>they're battling. They're they're leading up to this big battle.

118
00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:37.839
<v Speaker 1>They have the battle, and then the credits roll.

119
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:40.720
<v Speaker 3>Well, you know, I let them have the battle. I

120
00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:42.680
<v Speaker 3>canceled my subscription and then I can have all the

121
00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:46.480
<v Speaker 3>legal battles I want with HBO, you know.

122
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:49.839
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because you're under you're not under You're not under

123
00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:53.519
<v Speaker 1>contract for arbitration now. So anyway, it was really stupid

124
00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:56.600
<v Speaker 1>because it didn't not only was it like, you know,

125
00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:59.279
<v Speaker 1>tone deaf or a bad look, as they say in

126
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:03.839
<v Speaker 1>Hollywood that's the new buzz phrase. It wasn't a good

127
00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:09.959
<v Speaker 1>look too, uh, to deprive the spouse of some deceased

128
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:13.639
<v Speaker 1>person of their rights just because they had signed up

129
00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:16.040
<v Speaker 1>for Disney. Plus, it's probably the worst look in the

130
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:21.079
<v Speaker 1>history of looks, I would say. So they backed off.

131
00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:25.040
<v Speaker 1>That's the big news. They gave up, they're saying, and

132
00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:30.079
<v Speaker 1>they're not saying like Okay, we agree our errant waiter

133
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:35.120
<v Speaker 1>is responsible for the death of your of your wife.

134
00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:39.800
<v Speaker 1>Now they said, okay, we can go to court and

135
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:44.120
<v Speaker 1>and and screw you there instead of instead of an arbitration,

136
00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:48.519
<v Speaker 1>so you get you you get the difference, right, Yeah,

137
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:51.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean yeah, they're still going to court. They're still

138
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:54.240
<v Speaker 1>saying it's not our fault. And I don't know if

139
00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:57.519
<v Speaker 1>you've ever seen a you go to waiters. My sister

140
00:07:57.560 --> 00:07:59.959
<v Speaker 1>I talked about this. I think she's a silly act.

141
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:02.879
<v Speaker 1>So she can't have gluten. And it just happened a

142
00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:06.000
<v Speaker 1>couple days ago where we all went out and she

143
00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:08.600
<v Speaker 1>ordered something I can't have any gluten. Is there any

144
00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:13.839
<v Speaker 1>gluten in this? They was like like chicken, like a

145
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:16.120
<v Speaker 1>fried chicken, so I don't know whatever it was, and

146
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:22.680
<v Speaker 1>he goes, I don't think so oh there shouldn't be

147
00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:27.920
<v Speaker 1>so far I know, And then they bring the manager over, Yeah,

148
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:31.360
<v Speaker 1>there really shouldn't be. And she's just like, never mind,

149
00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:37.559
<v Speaker 1>I will have a water and she's alive today and

150
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:42.480
<v Speaker 1>her Disney plastic count is fine. Everything's cool. So the

151
00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:45.480
<v Speaker 1>waiters don't know. And then but why do all these

152
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:46.960
<v Speaker 1>people have these food diseases?

153
00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:47.159
<v Speaker 2>Now?

154
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:51.159
<v Speaker 1>Then they didn't have them when we were young, right, Sam, No.

155
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:53.720
<v Speaker 2>They did. They just died before anybody noticed.

156
00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:58.639
<v Speaker 3>Okay, and then somebody was like, wait a minute, this

157
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:02.919
<v Speaker 3>peanut butter thing is killed five of my children. We've

158
00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:04.000
<v Speaker 3>got to work that one out.

159
00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:07.440
<v Speaker 1>That could be it. So speaking to Disneyland, I got

160
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:08.519
<v Speaker 1>a few Disneyland stories.

161
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:11.279

181
00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:25.039
<v Speaker 2>Like an actle like fisticuff fight.

182
00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:29.639
<v Speaker 1>It's a brawl and they're watching, you know, they're watching

183
00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:33.440
<v Speaker 1>the characters out over the rivers of America at tom

184
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:37.720
<v Speaker 1>Sorry's Island, and they are, you know, all the music

185
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:39.919
<v Speaker 1>is going and it just looks magical, and all of

186
00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:44.000
<v Speaker 1>a sudden there's a fight and they just start, you know,

187
00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:49.000
<v Speaker 1>they're all over each other ghetto style, and it is

188
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:55.600
<v Speaker 1>looks like the cause was just people being too close

189
00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:57.480
<v Speaker 1>to each other and they were in a VIP section.

190
00:10:57.559 --> 00:10:59.480
<v Speaker 1>That's what that was. I thought, maybe this is the

191
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:02.919
<v Speaker 1>this is where the ghetto people are, but they're in

192
00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:03.759
<v Speaker 1>the VIP section.

193
00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:06.960
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, I'm watching the video on the Facebook now.

194
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:11.080
<v Speaker 3>I appreciate your caption being being prey for these people.

195
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:14.039
<v Speaker 1>That's very beautiful. I didn't know what to saying. I

196
00:11:14.039 --> 00:11:16.120
<v Speaker 1>don't know what to say because I could be like, hey,

197
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:18.759
<v Speaker 1>Walmart comes to Disneyland, you know, and all that kind

198
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:21.879
<v Speaker 1>of stuff, and then that's a little too cynical.

199
00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:25.679
<v Speaker 3>Something about like seeing a video of a fight like

200
00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:28.799
<v Speaker 3>World Star or like this type of thing where you're

201
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:31.159
<v Speaker 3>watching them fight and then you realize, like one of them,

202
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:34.039
<v Speaker 3>if not both of them, have their iPhones in their hands,

203
00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:37.240
<v Speaker 3>and it's like, Okay, that's basically slinging around a brick

204
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:40.159
<v Speaker 3>with magic powers like that. First of all, that's gonna hurt,

205
00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:41.840
<v Speaker 3>but also like, if you're really gonna fight, put that

206
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:42.360
<v Speaker 3>thing away.

207
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:46.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I would always be worried about my my phone

208
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:50.120
<v Speaker 1>or or what kind of shoe am I wearing? Like

209
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:52.559
<v Speaker 1>I don't wear flip flops because what if I get

210
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:56.519
<v Speaker 1>in a fight? I need it. I need my heels.

211
00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:00.240
<v Speaker 2>Some people would look at their sandals as being an

212
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:04.080
<v Speaker 2>advantage because you can use it as a weapon. Yeah,

213
00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:08.279
<v Speaker 2>sort of a paddle. Anybody on the receiving end of

214
00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:10.200
<v Speaker 2>a chunkla knows what I'm talking about.

215
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:15.480
<v Speaker 1>That's a myth. I don't think a Mexican mother ever

216
00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:17.720
<v Speaker 1>hit a kid with the chancolate I'm going to say.

217
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:21.720
<v Speaker 3>I also have to say I love that the security

218
00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:24.559
<v Speaker 3>has to wear the silly little hats too, you know,

219
00:12:25.399 --> 00:12:28.320
<v Speaker 3>don't that's part of their as part of the costumes

220
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:29.480
<v Speaker 3>for the Fantasmic Show.

221
00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:32.360
<v Speaker 1>One of those guys, Yeah, one of those guys I

222
00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:37.399
<v Speaker 1>believe is is my wife's cousin in that video. I

223
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:39.159
<v Speaker 1>sent a text to him to say, is this you?

224
00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:42.840
<v Speaker 1>And he's a security guy. He gets in so many

225
00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:45.399
<v Speaker 1>fights there. All those guys get in fights all the time,

226
00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:48.720
<v Speaker 1>and they break bones in fights, they get black eyes,

227
00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:54.279
<v Speaker 1>and they always it's a dangerous job. And it used

228
00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:55.759
<v Speaker 1>to be a cool job. It used to be the

229
00:12:55.840 --> 00:12:58.200
<v Speaker 1>job I wanted as a kid. This is the job

230
00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:00.679
<v Speaker 1>I wanted because if you worked in the western town,

231
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:05.600
<v Speaker 1>you got to wear a like, not a cowboy outfit,

232
00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:12.320
<v Speaker 1>but a cavalry The security guys were, they were cavalry

233
00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:16.879
<v Speaker 1>outfits and and all they did walk around Disneyland looking

234
00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:19.960
<v Speaker 1>for trouble. But now they all have to wear that

235
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:24.000
<v Speaker 1>stupid outfit and they have to wear like a vest

236
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:29.919
<v Speaker 1>with a dayglow, you know vest thing that things that's

237
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:34.879
<v Speaker 1>you can't look cool in a dayglo. J leco.

238
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:36.960
<v Speaker 2>So this happened in the VIP section.

239
00:13:38.039 --> 00:13:41.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well I'll tell you I know why it happens. Okay,

240
00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:47.879
<v Speaker 1>financing people finance these things. So you got a few

241
00:13:47.879 --> 00:13:52.080
<v Speaker 1>people in that group right there. They're like, hey, you

242
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:54.080
<v Speaker 1>want to go to Disneyland, And the other one said,

243
00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:57.399
<v Speaker 1>it's got too much money. Bro said, nah, let's just

244
00:13:57.440 --> 00:13:59.440
<v Speaker 1>put it on a credit card. You'll finance it. You'll

245
00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:03.000
<v Speaker 1>finance it, finance my annual pass sixteen dollars a month,

246
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:06.600
<v Speaker 1>and then when we go, we'll just put it on

247
00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:09.399
<v Speaker 1>the credit card. And then when the credit card book comes,

248
00:14:10.360 --> 00:14:15.399
<v Speaker 1>you know what, we declared bankruptcy. That's how you do it. Oh,

249
00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:17.240
<v Speaker 1>that's a good idea, bro, Let's do it. Let's go

250
00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:22.080
<v Speaker 1>big though, VIP section that kind of stuff. If people

251
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:25.639
<v Speaker 1>really had to pay for this with like you know,

252
00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:27.879
<v Speaker 1>if they knew the value of the of the money

253
00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:30.240
<v Speaker 1>they were spending, they probably wouldn't pay for it, you know.

254
00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:33.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, and it just means that they had to

255
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:34.879
<v Speaker 2>pay extra for a beatdown, I.

256
00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:37.879
<v Speaker 1>Mean, come on, yeah. And then then after that they're

257
00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:40.759
<v Speaker 1>going to get thrown now, you know. So they're like,

258
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:43.360
<v Speaker 1>if it's your hard earned money, you're not going to

259
00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:45.440
<v Speaker 1>get thrown out. Like any trouble happens. You go, oh,

260
00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:47.080
<v Speaker 1>we'll better be cool because we don't want to be

261
00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:50.120
<v Speaker 1>thrown out of here because I spent you know, three

262
00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:53.120
<v Speaker 1>weeks wages on this trip with my kids. But if

263
00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:55.440
<v Speaker 1>you're financing it and you're at a stage in your

264
00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:58.279
<v Speaker 1>life when you don't know the value of money and

265
00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:01.080
<v Speaker 1>you're like, you know, all right, step up, bro, I'll

266
00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:03.320
<v Speaker 1>throw you on the rivers of America. All right.

267
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:06.200
<v Speaker 2>Now, I have a question. Have you ever seen a

268
00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:10.480
<v Speaker 2>fight breakout in the private access club, the one where

269
00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:12.080
<v Speaker 2>you need to know the secret handshake to get in.

270
00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:14.039
<v Speaker 2>Has there been a fight that's ever broken out in there?

271
00:15:15.559 --> 00:15:17.720
<v Speaker 1>No? But one time I was in there and I

272
00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:20.600
<v Speaker 1>wanted to beat this guy down for wearing pajama bottoms

273
00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:23.879
<v Speaker 1>at the bar. That's as close as That's as close

274
00:15:23.919 --> 00:15:24.360
<v Speaker 1>as it got.

275
00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:28.639
<v Speaker 2>Wearing pajama bottoms anywhere in public is a little bit off.

276
00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:32.000
<v Speaker 2>Wearing them at Disneyland is a little bit more off.

277
00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:35.600
<v Speaker 2>Wearing them at the exclusive club in the middle of

278
00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:38.159
<v Speaker 2>Disneyland that's about as low rent as it gets.

279
00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:42.200
<v Speaker 1>Wearing them at the bar at a beautiful bar that

280
00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:46.039
<v Speaker 1>they spend eight million dollars renovating, and you come in

281
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:49.279
<v Speaker 1>and Forbes magazine calls it the most exclusive club in

282
00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:51.480
<v Speaker 1>the world, and you're walking in there with your pajama

283
00:15:51.480 --> 00:15:53.879
<v Speaker 1>bottoms like you've kind of beat the system, and you're

284
00:15:53.919 --> 00:15:57.799
<v Speaker 1>so casual and you don't give a crap. You're very

285
00:15:57.879 --> 00:16:02.720
<v Speaker 1>lucky that my wife held me back. Very lucky.

286
00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:06.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay, would you have those bottoms off of him and

287
00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:09.279
<v Speaker 2>provided him with something more classy?

288
00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:12.360
<v Speaker 1>I would have turned him into my bottom, is what

289
00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:12.759
<v Speaker 1>I would have.

290
00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:18.440
<v Speaker 2>I believe you'd go. I believe you did.

291
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:19.080
<v Speaker 1>I go too far.

292
00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:24.360
<v Speaker 2>I think you were just far enough. That was perfect, you.

293
00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:31.639
<v Speaker 1>Know what I mean? Right well, I have a I

294
00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:33.759
<v Speaker 1>didn't see any movies, but the number one movie. We're

295
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:36.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna get some movies in the next after this break,

296
00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:42.200
<v Speaker 1>but the number one movie in America is Deadpool still,

297
00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:45.600
<v Speaker 1>which I saw. Is do you any you guys see it? Yeah?

298
00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:49.519
<v Speaker 2>I need to go downstairs and catch it. I'm gonna

299
00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:50.919
<v Speaker 2>watch it on Tuesday, because.

300
00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:53.399
<v Speaker 1>That's if you're an adult, it's definitely worth seeing. If

301
00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:57.919
<v Speaker 1>you're a kid, you know, parents got to decide if

302
00:16:57.919 --> 00:16:59.919
<v Speaker 1>this is okay for you, because there's some really crazy

303
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:03.120
<v Speaker 1>stuff in it. Like if I repeat these jokes, people go, Joe,

304
00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:05.920
<v Speaker 1>what is the matter with you? What happened to you?

305
00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:06.680
<v Speaker 1>You've changed?

306
00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:08.680
<v Speaker 2>You're selling it for me right now?

307
00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:11.400
<v Speaker 1>That sounds great? Oh yeah, no, if that's if that

308
00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:13.279
<v Speaker 1>sells it for you. You're gonna love it because there's

309
00:17:13.359 --> 00:17:16.680
<v Speaker 1>more of that Alien movie is number two and then

310
00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:18.920
<v Speaker 1>it ends with Us, which I didn't see and blink twice.

311
00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:21.400
<v Speaker 1>I didn't see. But I'll see some more movies this week.

312
00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:26.359
<v Speaker 1>I was just really wrapped up in this movie that

313
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:30.519
<v Speaker 1>I saw, not a movie. I saw a twelve part

314
00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:39.400
<v Speaker 1>series on a the history of sport fishing. M let's

315
00:17:39.720 --> 00:17:41.559
<v Speaker 1>take a break, and then we come back a little

316
00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:44.799
<v Speaker 1>bit more about that. And we got you know, we

317
00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:48.319
<v Speaker 1>got more Disneyland news. We got some you know, the

318
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:51.559
<v Speaker 1>usual stuff. The NBA's in the news. They got a

319
00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:54.799
<v Speaker 1>huge battle on their hands. And I got some food

320
00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:58.400
<v Speaker 1>Fighter news, which finally, the food Fighters have done something

321
00:17:58.559 --> 00:18:01.279
<v Speaker 1>in the in the political campaign song world that no

322
00:18:01.319 --> 00:18:04.440
<v Speaker 1>one has done. And I will tell you what that

323
00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:09.960
<v Speaker 1>is after the break. Joe Ascolante Live from Hollywood. By Hollywood,

324
00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:15.000
<v Speaker 1>you mean Burbank And uh, that girl is actually talking

325
00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:17.400
<v Speaker 1>about the bancake from Sacramento. I don't know if you

326
00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:19.240
<v Speaker 1>know that. It's a little rock and roll trivia that

327
00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:22.319
<v Speaker 1>we have for you today. For those of you that

328
00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:27.160
<v Speaker 1>messaged me and said that Matthew Perry is not the

329
00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:31.920
<v Speaker 1>husband of Katie Perry, you don't know what you're talking about. Okay,

330
00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:36.119
<v Speaker 1>all right, I know I said, we're going to talk

331
00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:37.559
<v Speaker 1>about a lot of stuff, but we're going to go

332
00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:40.240
<v Speaker 1>straight to the political stuff, because that's how, you know,

333
00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:44.799
<v Speaker 1>people stay friends by talking about politics. Of course, in

334
00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:47.359
<v Speaker 1>this case, I have two I think I have two

335
00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:50.160
<v Speaker 1>shows that are I mean two stories I think all American,

336
00:18:50.359 --> 00:18:58.680
<v Speaker 1>all of America can rally around. The first involves Zach Galifanakis.

337
00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:04.119
<v Speaker 1>Zach Galafanakis. It was talking about the Democratic Convention. I

338
00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:05.839
<v Speaker 1>don't know if you guys watched any of that. It

339
00:19:05.960 --> 00:19:09.240
<v Speaker 1>was it was quite a Hollywood show, you know. It

340
00:19:09.319 --> 00:19:13.119
<v Speaker 1>was people gave it pretty good reviews on a show

341
00:19:13.119 --> 00:19:14.839
<v Speaker 1>business thing. And how did they pull it together when

342
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:17.960
<v Speaker 1>they just like they were in disarray like a month ago.

343
00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:22.839
<v Speaker 1>They did it. But the celebrities, because we're this is

344
00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:26.079
<v Speaker 1>a Hollywood show, so we're talking about the celebrity aspect

345
00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:30.640
<v Speaker 1>of it. They had Eva Longoria, Ben Stiller, Octavius Spencer,

346
00:19:32.920 --> 00:19:40.640
<v Speaker 1>Pink Stevie Wonder, John Legend, Patty LaBelle and h and

347
00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:43.960
<v Speaker 1>John and Little John did you already did you already

348
00:19:43.960 --> 00:19:45.720
<v Speaker 1>know Little John was there? Well?

349
00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:47.440
<v Speaker 3>I mean I caught up on this because I thought

350
00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:49.119
<v Speaker 3>it was I thought I was making a good point

351
00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:50.400
<v Speaker 3>with this one, Will.

352
00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:56.039
<v Speaker 1>John, So anyway, litill John. I mean, if you have

353
00:19:56.279 --> 00:20:00.599
<v Speaker 1>not seen the remix of that song that we just

354
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:04.599
<v Speaker 1>played for our bumper music pie piece of Cake to

355
00:20:04.680 --> 00:20:10.519
<v Speaker 1>make a pretty cake featuring Little John, it's it's morally offensive.

356
00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:13.720
<v Speaker 1>But as far as mashups go, it's a masterpiece.

357
00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:17.799
<v Speaker 2>It sacrilicious.

358
00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:20.759
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's a good That is a very good term

359
00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:28.480
<v Speaker 1>that describes a lot of my sins. Yeah, they're sacrilicious.

360
00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:34.200
<v Speaker 1>So little John WHOA. I wonder if uh, miss Harris

361
00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:39.880
<v Speaker 1>has ever seen the bake a cake, piece of cake

362
00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:44.359
<v Speaker 1>to make a pretty cake featuring Little John mashup? It's uh,

363
00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:46.039
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. At least I ever meet her, I'll

364
00:20:46.039 --> 00:20:49.960
<v Speaker 1>have something to talk about. Okay. So, but but when

365
00:20:50.039 --> 00:20:57.640
<v Speaker 1>Zach Allifanakis has asked about the Harris phenomenon and the

366
00:20:57.640 --> 00:21:01.160
<v Speaker 1>the election, he had this to say, as a small

367
00:21:01.160 --> 00:21:04.680
<v Speaker 1>town guy from North Carolina, I do wish the Democrats

368
00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:07.920
<v Speaker 1>would step back from the celebrities a little bit. The

369
00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Hangover star told the Oh, that's one of those sentences

370
00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:16.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm not supposed to read. So he says it works

371
00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:21.079
<v Speaker 1>to a point, but they have to win over rural America.

372
00:21:21.720 --> 00:21:25.039
<v Speaker 1>Hollywood thinks it's so important, and that's a problem. Actors

373
00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:27.680
<v Speaker 1>are people too, and they're citizens too. But I'm more

374
00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:30.920
<v Speaker 1>on the small town side of that than i am

375
00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:35.960
<v Speaker 1>on the Hollywood side of that. That's just me very wise,

376
00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:41.960
<v Speaker 1>because really, all those Democrats would have to do is

377
00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:47.680
<v Speaker 1>just like move totally to the center and say we

378
00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:50.319
<v Speaker 1>are so normal and we are so centrist, and they

379
00:21:50.359 --> 00:21:55.119
<v Speaker 1>would win going away, but then they get they they

380
00:21:55.279 --> 00:21:58.519
<v Speaker 1>go to a very far extreme to one side, and

381
00:21:58.559 --> 00:22:00.359
<v Speaker 1>then they put the celebrities on top of that, and

382
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:05.599
<v Speaker 1>then the people in the rural areas identify celebrities with

383
00:22:05.720 --> 00:22:07.920
<v Speaker 1>people who have more money than they will ever have,

384
00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:11.079
<v Speaker 1>and they're like, well, yeah, it must be a luxury

385
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:17.519
<v Speaker 1>for you to say all these left leaning political things

386
00:22:17.519 --> 00:22:21.000
<v Speaker 1>that sound good, but you know, they maybe they harm

387
00:22:21.079 --> 00:22:25.359
<v Speaker 1>me on the farm or whatever. So very smart. He

388
00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:28.519
<v Speaker 1>gave the best. He gave the best advice to someone

389
00:22:28.519 --> 00:22:31.799
<v Speaker 1>if they wanted to win, Just you gotta win over

390
00:22:31.880 --> 00:22:33.680
<v Speaker 1>rural America. Look at that map. Have you seen the

391
00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:36.359
<v Speaker 1>map where they show who votes for who?

392
00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:42.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, generally, I mean, he's totally right. It's kind of like,

393
00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:45.319
<v Speaker 3>if anyone wants to be relatable, they need to humble

394
00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:47.759
<v Speaker 3>themselves just a little bit. Yeah, and I think it's

395
00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:53.119
<v Speaker 3>definitely tough to think that the majority of the country

396
00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:56.279
<v Speaker 3>really really relates to celebrities in the same way that

397
00:22:56.319 --> 00:22:58.400
<v Speaker 3>they do relate to their politics.

398
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:03.400
<v Speaker 1>I think a rural America is given up on celebrities.

399
00:23:03.960 --> 00:23:04.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

400
00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:08.279
<v Speaker 1>Sure, they're just like these guys, Uh, won't take your

401
00:23:08.319 --> 00:23:10.880
<v Speaker 1>Hollywood b s and get and get it out of

402
00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:13.599
<v Speaker 1>my town. You move to Montana, Oh you're from Hollywood.

403
00:23:13.640 --> 00:23:16.640
<v Speaker 1>Get out of here. They won't talk to you. They

404
00:23:16.759 --> 00:23:18.880
<v Speaker 1>just won't talk. And then people like you know in

405
00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:21.559
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee won't talk to you if you have California plates.

406
00:23:21.559 --> 00:23:24.640
<v Speaker 1>They're over it. So you gotta that's all they gotta

407
00:23:24.720 --> 00:23:27.880
<v Speaker 1>do if they want to win. So where did the

408
00:23:27.880 --> 00:23:31.240
<v Speaker 1>advice come from? Zach gallifanakas And he's not saying I

409
00:23:31.279 --> 00:23:37.319
<v Speaker 1>don't think he's saying, I'm a more conservative person and

410
00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:38.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to vote for these people and that's

411
00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:40.799
<v Speaker 1>why I'm not into it. I don't think he's saying

412
00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:43.720
<v Speaker 1>that at all. He's just saying, Hey, you guys want

413
00:23:43.720 --> 00:23:46.480
<v Speaker 1>to win. I'm down to the farm. Once in a while.

414
00:23:47.440 --> 00:23:51.279
<v Speaker 2>He's not wrong, he's not at all, he's not. I mean,

415
00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:54.720
<v Speaker 2>really that's uh. A lot of times what ends up

416
00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:59.079
<v Speaker 2>making it so that people get disconnected from all things

417
00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:01.079
<v Speaker 2>political is the fact that they just don't feel like

418
00:24:01.200 --> 00:24:05.279
<v Speaker 2>the people that represent them have any real interest in them.

419
00:24:05.759 --> 00:24:07.960
<v Speaker 2>And it's nice when you have somebody that's willing to

420
00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:10.240
<v Speaker 2>go down there and actually meet with you and hear

421
00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:11.119
<v Speaker 2>what you have to say.

422
00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:14.720
<v Speaker 1>And they are, like, I say, they've already given up

423
00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:18.079
<v Speaker 1>on celebrities. So the more celebrities you pile onto that DNC,

424
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:21.039
<v Speaker 1>it didn't help you help you at all. It's like

425
00:24:21.079 --> 00:24:23.039
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of like Trump on the other side, the

426
00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:26.680
<v Speaker 1>more rallies he does, these rallies in these red states.

427
00:24:27.319 --> 00:24:29.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, sure they're fun for everybody, but do they

428
00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:31.039
<v Speaker 1>win over any new people?

429
00:24:31.279 --> 00:24:34.279
<v Speaker 2>No, not really. But also I mean the DNC and

430
00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:38.960
<v Speaker 2>the RNC, those are basically just you know, public displays

431
00:24:39.000 --> 00:24:42.720
<v Speaker 2>of I guess political masturbation if you will, because it's

432
00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:46.599
<v Speaker 2>a party for it for themselves. So you saw what

433
00:24:46.640 --> 00:24:50.359
<v Speaker 2>the RNC was and how they celebrated their nomination of

434
00:24:50.519 --> 00:24:53.799
<v Speaker 2>their candidate, and the DNC wanted to make it seem

435
00:24:53.839 --> 00:24:56.119
<v Speaker 2>like it was much more of a party's atmosphere, and

436
00:24:56.160 --> 00:24:59.680
<v Speaker 2>I think they succeeded. It was it was definitely a

437
00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:00.680
<v Speaker 2>party atmosphere.

438
00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:01.559
<v Speaker 1>It's just definitely.

439
00:25:02.079 --> 00:25:05.680
<v Speaker 2>Is that is that like, does that mean one side's

440
00:25:05.720 --> 00:25:07.720
<v Speaker 2>going to be better than the other at, you know,

441
00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:10.319
<v Speaker 2>running the country. No, it just means that one side's

442
00:25:10.359 --> 00:25:11.839
<v Speaker 2>better at throwing a party right.

443
00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:14.759
<v Speaker 1>Now, Yeah, and then a few months from now will

444
00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:18.640
<v Speaker 1>be going. I think the problem was our convention. Whichever

445
00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:23.240
<v Speaker 1>side it is, perhaps, Okay, but let's get to the

446
00:25:23.319 --> 00:25:28.519
<v Speaker 1>Every election cycle, excuse me, I don't have a cough

447
00:25:28.519 --> 00:25:33.960
<v Speaker 1>button over here. Every election cycle, the celebrities of the

448
00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:43.519
<v Speaker 1>songwriters complain that their songs are excuse me once again. Okay,

449
00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:47.839
<v Speaker 1>Neil Hamberger over here. Okay, Nicki, Nikki, you don't know

450
00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:49.599
<v Speaker 1>who Neil Hamburger is, but you should look him up.

451
00:25:51.240 --> 00:25:55.279
<v Speaker 1>Classic Neil Hamberger. Okay, you might see You might want

452
00:25:55.319 --> 00:25:58.160
<v Speaker 1>to see Neil Hamberger live at the Dog Track directed

453
00:25:58.160 --> 00:26:00.640
<v Speaker 1>by Joe Ascalante. That's a good place start.

454
00:26:00.839 --> 00:26:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Neil Harbers a legend. So he looks pretty epic.

455
00:26:05.240 --> 00:26:08.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah he is. He gonna change your life. Uh? Okay,

456
00:26:08.839 --> 00:26:12.359
<v Speaker 1>so he uh, He's made an art out of coughing

457
00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:15.400
<v Speaker 1>into the microphone. Okay, so the food fighters, what did

458
00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:22.200
<v Speaker 1>they do their songs being played at Trump rallies like

459
00:26:23.039 --> 00:26:27.920
<v Speaker 1>and then what everyone does always says I. You know,

460
00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:33.400
<v Speaker 1>if they're a liberal musician, they say, I, I rebuke

461
00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:39.279
<v Speaker 1>you candidate for playing my song at your convention rally

462
00:26:39.359 --> 00:26:42.519
<v Speaker 1>at like let's say, the Honda Center. How dare you?

463
00:26:42.759 --> 00:26:45.839
<v Speaker 1>I did not give you permission. You stole that song,

464
00:26:46.319 --> 00:26:50.400
<v Speaker 1>just like you're about to steal the souls of our

465
00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:54.960
<v Speaker 1>nation if you get elected that. They say stuff like that,

466
00:26:55.960 --> 00:26:58.039
<v Speaker 1>and you are an evil person and you and this

467
00:26:58.079 --> 00:26:59.519
<v Speaker 1>is an example why no one should vote for you,

468
00:26:59.519 --> 00:27:03.240
<v Speaker 1>because you stole this music. Now, anybody who listens to

469
00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:07.480
<v Speaker 1>this show knows that when they do these conventions, they

470
00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:10.559
<v Speaker 1>go to a place like the Honda Center or the

471
00:27:10.759 --> 00:27:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Forum that has already bought a blanket license to operate

472
00:27:13.519 --> 00:27:17.000
<v Speaker 1>their building, to allow any music to be performed in

473
00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:20.000
<v Speaker 1>that building. And they're blanket licenses, so you can't pick

474
00:27:20.079 --> 00:27:23.759
<v Speaker 1>out songs that are not allowed. So anybody going into

475
00:27:23.799 --> 00:27:27.160
<v Speaker 1>these buildings can play any song they want. And then

476
00:27:27.480 --> 00:27:30.400
<v Speaker 1>the artists come out and they sound all indignant like

477
00:27:30.599 --> 00:27:32.839
<v Speaker 1>they stole that they didn't they'd had no permission. Just

478
00:27:32.880 --> 00:27:35.720
<v Speaker 1>the whole idea of saying a politician used your song

479
00:27:35.759 --> 00:27:39.519
<v Speaker 1>without permission makes people hate that politician when it's not true.

480
00:27:39.640 --> 00:27:43.200
<v Speaker 1>It is a lie, and that artists did give them

481
00:27:43.200 --> 00:27:47.000
<v Speaker 1>permission because they signed over a contract with Disney Plus.

482
00:27:47.319 --> 00:27:51.720
<v Speaker 1>And in the Disney Plus agreement, there's something in there

483
00:27:51.759 --> 00:27:56.960
<v Speaker 1>that says your blanket license will will be played everywhere

484
00:27:57.440 --> 00:28:00.319
<v Speaker 1>and anywhere that we give a license like a cat

485
00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:03.400
<v Speaker 1>B and I or CEASAC. It's not really Disney Plus,

486
00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:05.400
<v Speaker 1>but it might as well be. So all these and

487
00:28:05.480 --> 00:28:08.759
<v Speaker 1>all Track is another performance rights organization for you young musicians.

488
00:28:08.759 --> 00:28:12.559
<v Speaker 1>All Track is one partially owned by your host, Joey'scalante.

489
00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Thank you. So these are the people that are in

490
00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:23.200
<v Speaker 1>charge of deciding of going out and getting money for you.

491
00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:25.559
<v Speaker 1>So they sell the blanket license to these venues. You

492
00:28:25.640 --> 00:28:28.160
<v Speaker 1>have no choice. What did the food fighters do? The

493
00:28:28.200 --> 00:28:31.519
<v Speaker 1>food fighters said, we didn't clear it with them. They

494
00:28:31.519 --> 00:28:33.079
<v Speaker 1>were a little more vague. They didn't cut out and

495
00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:35.480
<v Speaker 1>lie and say what they used it withou permission? They said, hey,

496
00:28:35.640 --> 00:28:38.799
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's not on us. We didn't you know,

497
00:28:39.039 --> 00:28:44.359
<v Speaker 1>they didn't ask permission and we would not have granted it,

498
00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:46.680
<v Speaker 1>but they wouldn't have been able to deny it. That's

499
00:28:46.720 --> 00:28:48.839
<v Speaker 1>the big point. If they ask permission, they say no,

500
00:28:48.839 --> 00:28:51.160
<v Speaker 1>but they don't have to ask permission. So he said,

501
00:28:51.400 --> 00:28:53.839
<v Speaker 1>we didn't ask permission. They didn't ask permission, but he

502
00:28:53.880 --> 00:28:55.680
<v Speaker 1>recognized that they will get money for it, and they

503
00:28:55.720 --> 00:28:58.680
<v Speaker 1>will donate that to the Harris campaign. That's all you

504
00:28:58.720 --> 00:29:01.200
<v Speaker 1>have to do if you hate Donald Trump, to say, hey,

505
00:29:01.200 --> 00:29:04.119
<v Speaker 1>there's nothing we can do about that. It's a teachable moment.

506
00:29:05.400 --> 00:29:07.400
<v Speaker 1>We will give the money. Any money we get, we'll

507
00:29:07.400 --> 00:29:09.400
<v Speaker 1>give to the Harris campaign. I feel sorry for the

508
00:29:09.400 --> 00:29:13.599
<v Speaker 1>bookkeeper that has to go and find out which to

509
00:29:13.640 --> 00:29:16.759
<v Speaker 1>allocate that money. But it's a great statement. Another reason

510
00:29:16.759 --> 00:29:18.519
<v Speaker 1>why Foo Fighters are one of the greatest rock and

511
00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:20.559
<v Speaker 1>roll bands in the history of rock and roll bands,

512
00:29:20.559 --> 00:29:23.640
<v Speaker 1>and why Zach Galifanakis is one of the greatest comic

513
00:29:23.680 --> 00:29:25.640
<v Speaker 1>actors of our time. Do you guys have any comment

514
00:29:25.680 --> 00:29:25.880
<v Speaker 1>on that?

515
00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:30.240
<v Speaker 2>You are correct, Thank you, But Nikki.

516
00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:31.880
<v Speaker 1>Did you know that about Have you heard about this, like,

517
00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:34.559
<v Speaker 1>you know, people complaining that they're using songs with that permission?

518
00:29:35.000 --> 00:29:38.720
<v Speaker 3>No, but I didn't know anything about the blanket contracts

519
00:29:38.759 --> 00:29:41.039
<v Speaker 3>basically that allowed people to have access to all of

520
00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:43.279
<v Speaker 3>that and wait, this all track thing, I took a

521
00:29:43.319 --> 00:29:44.920
<v Speaker 3>look online and it's very interesting.

522
00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:46.160
<v Speaker 1>I'll need you to explain this to me a.

523
00:29:46.160 --> 00:29:51.039
<v Speaker 3>Little bit more about how this is beneficial for artists. Yeah,

524
00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:53.079
<v Speaker 3>to new artist, I'm just super curious.

525
00:29:53.480 --> 00:29:56.440
<v Speaker 1>It's the same as BMI and ASCAT and c SEC,

526
00:29:56.960 --> 00:30:02.920
<v Speaker 1>but it's like a new upstart, smaller going after more

527
00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:05.839
<v Speaker 1>independent artists and helping them not only sign up to

528
00:30:06.359 --> 00:30:08.200
<v Speaker 1>when if you sign up for askat, B and and

529
00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:11.000
<v Speaker 1>C sectors, they're giant and they're not going to really

530
00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:14.640
<v Speaker 1>work for you unless you're huge. But this organization will

531
00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:17.119
<v Speaker 1>work for you harder, and then they will take care

532
00:30:17.119 --> 00:30:20.720
<v Speaker 1>of all these other mystical neighboring rights they called. They

533
00:30:20.720 --> 00:30:26.359
<v Speaker 1>are called like sound exchange and getting a digital payments

534
00:30:26.359 --> 00:30:29.359
<v Speaker 1>for a lot of digital stuff that is confusing is

535
00:30:29.400 --> 00:30:31.880
<v Speaker 1>falling through the cracks. So that's all track dot com.

536
00:30:31.920 --> 00:30:33.680
<v Speaker 1>You can see that and join up if you're a

537
00:30:33.720 --> 00:30:35.759
<v Speaker 1>new band or or send a message to me and

538
00:30:35.799 --> 00:30:37.400
<v Speaker 1>I will tell you all about it. And then the

539
00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:41.240
<v Speaker 1>blanket licenses is a The blanket license is just a

540
00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:43.720
<v Speaker 1>fact of life. I'll tell you one more thing about

541
00:30:43.720 --> 00:30:46.680
<v Speaker 1>it when we come back from the break. Joe Scalante

543

<v Speaker 1>Joe askant, here's my lawyer.

00:31:17.440 --> 00:31:20.839
<v Speaker 2>and he knows.

547
00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:24.519
<v Speaker 3>Oh yes, he knows.

548
00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:30.640
<v Speaker 1>Hey, Joe's Galante right here, right here, Live on k E.

549
00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:32.720
<v Speaker 1>I b with the Business End of Show Business with

550
00:31:32.759 --> 00:31:39.079
<v Speaker 1>producer Nikki and engineer Sam Uh. We were talking about

551
00:31:39.079 --> 00:31:40.680
<v Speaker 1>the blanket license. I know it's a little dry, but

552
00:31:40.720 --> 00:31:42.519
<v Speaker 1>I'll just one more thing I want to add to it,

553
00:31:43.359 --> 00:31:46.799
<v Speaker 1>just so you know, when artists complained that their songs

554
00:31:46.799 --> 00:31:50.039
<v Speaker 1>are being played at political campaigns, they have they already

555
00:31:50.079 --> 00:31:52.519
<v Speaker 1>signed a paper that's that gave permission to the venue

556
00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:54.640
<v Speaker 1>to do that, and then they pretend like they're they're

557
00:31:54.720 --> 00:31:58.559
<v Speaker 1>incensed by it, which Sam you brought up a point, Yeah.

558
00:31:58.440 --> 00:32:02.279
<v Speaker 2>No, it does it. Artist nowadays basically just complain about

559
00:32:02.279 --> 00:32:05.400
<v Speaker 2>their music being used by politicians as it means to

560
00:32:05.519 --> 00:32:09.839
<v Speaker 2>virtue signal to other people that they're against that that politician.

561
00:32:10.200 --> 00:32:13.000
<v Speaker 2>There's no other reason for it because they I'm sure

562
00:32:13.119 --> 00:32:17.640
<v Speaker 2>they know that there they their music can be used

563
00:32:17.640 --> 00:32:20.559
<v Speaker 2>in any arena that has that's covered in this blanket agreement.

564
00:32:20.799 --> 00:32:23.640
<v Speaker 1>So I think they don't know because they're stupid.

565
00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:26.920
<v Speaker 2>Might be the case. I wouldn't I wouldn't put that

566
00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:28.119
<v Speaker 2>past them.

567
00:32:28.279 --> 00:32:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they're stupid, My artists know. And then the blanket license. Also,

568
00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:36.000
<v Speaker 1>an interesting thing about how I got interested in it

569
00:32:36.039 --> 00:32:40.039
<v Speaker 1>is because I was an anti trust UH specialist in

570
00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:43.359
<v Speaker 1>in law school. That was my field of specialization. They

571
00:32:43.359 --> 00:32:45.400
<v Speaker 1>don't give it, really give an official one, but you know,

572
00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:47.319
<v Speaker 1>you choose all these courses, and I just kept taking

573
00:32:47.359 --> 00:32:51.359
<v Speaker 1>anti trust course after course, after seminar, after paper, and

574
00:32:51.400 --> 00:32:53.599
<v Speaker 1>then I ended up writing a paper about how the

575
00:32:53.640 --> 00:32:56.640
<v Speaker 1>blanket license is a violation of the Sherman Anti Trust

576
00:32:56.720 --> 00:33:00.599
<v Speaker 1>Act because it makes the networks and all of buyers

577
00:33:01.640 --> 00:33:05.960
<v Speaker 1>pay the same amount of money for the Taylor Swift

578
00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:09.839
<v Speaker 1>song as they do for the Vandal song. So that

579
00:33:09.920 --> 00:33:12.880
<v Speaker 1>doesn't the Vandal song is worth infinitely less, but the

580
00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:15.279
<v Speaker 1>vandals are not. The vandals are not allowed to charge

581
00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:18.480
<v Speaker 1>less to break into the market because you have to

582
00:33:18.559 --> 00:33:21.480
<v Speaker 1>charge the same amount of money as Taylor Swift does

583
00:33:21.920 --> 00:33:28.640
<v Speaker 1>for your for your songs to be to be exhibited

584
00:33:28.680 --> 00:33:30.640
<v Speaker 1>on TV or or on the radio.

585
00:33:30.839 --> 00:33:33.759
<v Speaker 2>Fascinating, So I think it's like gate keeping a lot

586
00:33:33.799 --> 00:33:35.240
<v Speaker 2>of the yeah stuff from.

587
00:33:35.119 --> 00:33:37.359
<v Speaker 3>Those Yeah, it's like watching the highest bidder.

588
00:33:37.160 --> 00:33:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Right, there's no high spidder there's no market involved. It

589
00:33:40.599 --> 00:33:47.799
<v Speaker 1>is a bunch of h just industry types at bamboozled

590
00:33:47.799 --> 00:33:51.799
<v Speaker 1>the Supreme Court into creating these and the government and

591
00:33:51.839 --> 00:33:54.559
<v Speaker 1>creating these and improving these consent decrees that would say, okay,

592
00:33:54.559 --> 00:33:56.480
<v Speaker 1>you can have this low monopoly and have price fixing

593
00:33:56.759 --> 00:33:59.799
<v Speaker 1>because it's just too complicated otherwise. So my whole thing,

594
00:34:00.400 --> 00:34:02.160
<v Speaker 1>my whole paper that I wrote and was actually published

595
00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:06.599
<v Speaker 1>in the Western Law School some school, not my school,

596
00:34:06.640 --> 00:34:11.159
<v Speaker 1>published it in their lot review was No, I laid

597
00:34:11.159 --> 00:34:12.840
<v Speaker 1>out a whole way you could just do that. I

598
00:34:12.840 --> 00:34:15.679
<v Speaker 1>mean all you do is, you know, find out which

599
00:34:15.719 --> 00:34:20.039
<v Speaker 1>songs are being played, and everybody you know it gets

600
00:34:20.039 --> 00:34:23.519
<v Speaker 1>paid differently, and you can use cheap songs and blah

601
00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:26.440
<v Speaker 1>blah blah. Maybe patriotic songs are free. I don't know. Anyway,

602
00:34:26.679 --> 00:34:35.360
<v Speaker 1>too boring. But we had another story recently about Matthew Perry,

603
00:34:35.400 --> 00:34:41.079
<v Speaker 1>the the late husband of Katy Perry, who had a

604
00:34:41.360 --> 00:34:46.280
<v Speaker 1>ketamine overdose and then the doctors are going to jail,

605
00:34:47.440 --> 00:34:53.360
<v Speaker 1>and there was an article what do you have on that?

606
00:34:54.239 --> 00:34:57.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean it wasn't just the doctors who are

607
00:34:57.719 --> 00:35:01.119
<v Speaker 3>in some hot water for this, but also you know,

608
00:35:01.199 --> 00:35:05.719
<v Speaker 3>his personal pa, like his live and assistant who is

609
00:35:05.920 --> 00:35:09.960
<v Speaker 3>preparing himself for prison basically because he was asked by

610
00:35:10.519 --> 00:35:14.199
<v Speaker 3>Matthew Perry to inject him with the lethal dose of ketamine,

611
00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:18.440
<v Speaker 3>which is really tough. I mean, I know a lot

612
00:35:18.440 --> 00:35:20.480
<v Speaker 3>of people who have been pas who have.

613
00:35:20.880 --> 00:35:24.039
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you've had tough jobs in the Oh, no joke,

614
00:35:24.119 --> 00:35:27.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean Hollywood worker.

615
00:35:28.599 --> 00:35:30.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's true. I mean I'm lucky that I've never

616
00:35:31.000 --> 00:35:34.840
<v Speaker 3>had something that morally questionable come into my way. But

617
00:35:35.800 --> 00:35:38.199
<v Speaker 3>you do kind of accept that you're going to deal

618
00:35:38.239 --> 00:35:40.639
<v Speaker 3>with a lot of behavior that if someone were to

619
00:35:40.679 --> 00:35:43.559
<v Speaker 3>tweet about it, you know, everybody would be in big trouble.

620
00:35:44.440 --> 00:35:46.199
<v Speaker 3>But you just accept it because you're trying to get

621
00:35:46.239 --> 00:35:47.840
<v Speaker 3>your foot in the door. You're trying to do this

622
00:35:47.920 --> 00:35:51.639
<v Speaker 3>in that But that that age of giving in to

623
00:35:51.760 --> 00:35:57.480
<v Speaker 3>these questionable requests from your advisors or superiors is obviously

624
00:35:57.800 --> 00:36:00.440
<v Speaker 3>not over or even close to being over. It's extremely

625
00:36:00.519 --> 00:36:03.360
<v Speaker 3>unfortunate because I'm sure that this living assistant was.

626
00:36:05.000 --> 00:36:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Wanting.

627
00:36:05.639 --> 00:36:08.559
<v Speaker 3>I mean, his LinkedIn profile even said stuff like I'm discreet,

628
00:36:08.920 --> 00:36:12.039
<v Speaker 3>I'm loyal, and I honor absolute confidentiality, and.

629
00:36:11.960 --> 00:36:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Like very clearly he did.

630
00:36:13.559 --> 00:36:16.159
<v Speaker 3>But of course that comes with the cost of giving

631
00:36:16.199 --> 00:36:20.960
<v Speaker 3>in to your employer's every need, including things that are

632
00:36:21.280 --> 00:36:26.079
<v Speaker 3>super harmful. So it's really unfortunate that this is something

633
00:36:26.119 --> 00:36:29.400
<v Speaker 3>that like, God, I can only imagine, you know, trying

634
00:36:29.440 --> 00:36:33.119
<v Speaker 3>to do their job well and you know, you kill somebody.

635
00:36:33.199 --> 00:36:35.559
<v Speaker 1>And the producer, I mean, the actor or whatever the

636
00:36:35.559 --> 00:36:40.519
<v Speaker 1>celebrity is. They only surround themselves with people that demand

637
00:36:40.719 --> 00:36:43.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, little of them. They don't surround themselves to

638
00:36:43.719 --> 00:36:47.320
<v Speaker 1>people who who call them out on things and so

639
00:36:47.840 --> 00:36:50.039
<v Speaker 1>and whoever calls them out. I'm sure Matthew Perry had

640
00:36:50.039 --> 00:36:53.119
<v Speaker 1>a circle of friends and employees that were decent people

641
00:36:53.159 --> 00:36:56.159
<v Speaker 1>that just had to walk away and say I can't,

642
00:36:56.440 --> 00:36:59.039
<v Speaker 1>I can't be a part of this guy's demise. And

643
00:36:59.119 --> 00:37:01.079
<v Speaker 1>the people that were there, I don't want to judge

644
00:37:01.119 --> 00:37:03.159
<v Speaker 1>him because they you know, had their own reasons for

645
00:37:03.280 --> 00:37:06.559
<v Speaker 1>the hanging around. It could be like this guy is like, well,

646
00:37:06.599 --> 00:37:09.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm you know, trying to pay for my lung transplant

647
00:37:10.000 --> 00:37:13.079
<v Speaker 1>for my you know, grandmother or whatever. Who knows the stories.

648
00:37:13.119 --> 00:37:17.000
<v Speaker 1>But they get themselves in a pickle. And the celebrities

649
00:37:17.000 --> 00:37:20.960
<v Speaker 1>can be can be tough to work for. Yeah, read

650
00:37:20.960 --> 00:37:23.639
<v Speaker 1>a person that can they can do that definitely.

651
00:37:23.679 --> 00:37:26.360
<v Speaker 3>Actually, I have an experience from just this last week

652
00:37:26.400 --> 00:37:28.599
<v Speaker 3>that I thought was really interesting. It wasn't necessarily a

653
00:37:28.679 --> 00:37:31.679
<v Speaker 3>nefarious Necessarily that sounds like it was a little bit.

654
00:37:31.679 --> 00:37:34.360
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't nefarious at all, but it was one of

655
00:37:34.400 --> 00:37:37.480
<v Speaker 3>the interactions that I think I've never seen in person.

656
00:37:38.800 --> 00:37:41.840
<v Speaker 3>I was kind of I was at a music event

657
00:37:42.480 --> 00:37:45.880
<v Speaker 3>and I was witnessing a conversation between three people. It

658
00:37:46.000 --> 00:37:51.159
<v Speaker 3>was a very important, uh, music booker and a musician

659
00:37:51.360 --> 00:37:55.480
<v Speaker 3>and the personal assistant, and the very important music booker

660
00:37:55.559 --> 00:37:58.360
<v Speaker 3>was looking at the musician kind of speaking to him

661
00:37:59.119 --> 00:38:04.320
<v Speaker 3>and and and directing his words towards his assistant, like

662
00:38:04.519 --> 00:38:07.400
<v Speaker 3>how about you have this person come over tomorrow? And

663
00:38:07.480 --> 00:38:09.880
<v Speaker 3>this was like, yeah, sounds good, and all the while

664
00:38:10.039 --> 00:38:12.360
<v Speaker 3>the music booker is looking at the musician but but

665
00:38:12.480 --> 00:38:15.159
<v Speaker 3>not speaking to him. And I was just like, I

666
00:38:15.239 --> 00:38:17.920
<v Speaker 3>think I've never seen this in my life. Like not,

667
00:38:18.039 --> 00:38:21.119
<v Speaker 3>it wasn't crazy, it wasn't even a bad thing necessarily,

668
00:38:21.159 --> 00:38:23.039
<v Speaker 3>but I was like, this is a this is just

669
00:38:23.079 --> 00:38:26.039
<v Speaker 3>a strange dynamic that I've never seen take place in

670
00:38:26.039 --> 00:38:28.199
<v Speaker 3>front of my own eyes, like having a conversation with

671
00:38:28.280 --> 00:38:30.679
<v Speaker 3>someone by looking at them but not speaking to them

672
00:38:30.679 --> 00:38:32.840
<v Speaker 3>even a word.

673
00:38:33.159 --> 00:38:38.039
<v Speaker 1>That's like this story I heard about some politician gets

674
00:38:38.039 --> 00:38:40.760
<v Speaker 1>in an elevator with his assistant and stands by the

675
00:38:40.840 --> 00:38:43.800
<v Speaker 1>other people come stands by the buttons. He's standing by

676
00:38:43.840 --> 00:38:48.159
<v Speaker 1>the buttons, and the the the assistant is in it

677
00:38:48.239 --> 00:38:51.639
<v Speaker 1>is standing there too, but he's not by the buttons.

678
00:38:51.679 --> 00:38:55.320
<v Speaker 1>And then the politician says, this button is not going

679
00:38:55.400 --> 00:39:01.039
<v Speaker 1>to press itself. Okay, don't press buttons.

680
00:39:01.880 --> 00:39:04.199
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean, the being out of touch with reality

681
00:39:04.239 --> 00:39:06.920
<v Speaker 3>can can be, you know, kind of funny and small.

682
00:39:07.039 --> 00:39:09.519
<v Speaker 3>But in other examples and kind of the things that

683
00:39:09.559 --> 00:39:12.519
<v Speaker 3>I read related to this situation with Matthew Perry, I mean,

684
00:39:12.960 --> 00:39:17.760
<v Speaker 3>there were accusations that alleged that some people were being

685
00:39:17.800 --> 00:39:21.639
<v Speaker 3>asked to sleep in their bosses beds with them, even

686
00:39:21.679 --> 00:39:22.039
<v Speaker 3>if it.

687
00:39:22.079 --> 00:39:23.400
<v Speaker 2>Was just that alone.

688
00:39:23.519 --> 00:39:26.599
<v Speaker 3>Like, that's an extremely inappropriate ask to when you're.

689
00:39:26.480 --> 00:39:29.000
<v Speaker 1>On the job. That's the that's the top of the

690
00:39:29.039 --> 00:39:32.679
<v Speaker 1>inappropriate ass I've never asked Sam to to to sleep,

691
00:39:33.000 --> 00:39:35.159
<v Speaker 1>not even once, even on the night.

692
00:39:36.159 --> 00:39:41.280
<v Speaker 2>No, I seriously, I feel like I'm I'm feeling serious

693
00:39:41.280 --> 00:39:42.320
<v Speaker 2>fomo on this one.

694
00:39:42.360 --> 00:39:45.159
<v Speaker 3>Actually, yeah, that has that doesn't actually count because he

695
00:39:45.199 --> 00:39:47.000
<v Speaker 3>has volunteered many times.

696
00:39:47.280 --> 00:39:52.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, Sam, well, actually, the the the foot massages

697
00:39:52.280 --> 00:39:54.920
<v Speaker 1>I have to I used to give less moon vests

698
00:39:55.000 --> 00:39:58.519
<v Speaker 1>were voluntary. I just want to say that he didn't.

699
00:39:58.519 --> 00:40:01.760
<v Speaker 1>I didn't have to do it, but I did. When

700
00:40:01.760 --> 00:40:04.440
<v Speaker 1>I was a PA and I was an artissistant in productions,

701
00:40:04.480 --> 00:40:06.159
<v Speaker 1>it was hard and people were really mean and they

702
00:40:06.159 --> 00:40:07.840
<v Speaker 1>would make me cry, make me cry.

703
00:40:07.920 --> 00:40:08.880
<v Speaker 3>They were so true.

704
00:40:09.039 --> 00:40:09.639
<v Speaker 1>I have cried.

705
00:40:09.920 --> 00:40:11.960
<v Speaker 3>I have died with the way that some people have

706
00:40:12.039 --> 00:40:13.400
<v Speaker 3>talked to me. That is bad.

707
00:40:14.360 --> 00:40:16.519
<v Speaker 1>So I like it when this gets out, Like people

708
00:40:16.559 --> 00:40:19.559
<v Speaker 1>start talking about bad bosses, bad bosses because the bad

709
00:40:19.559 --> 00:40:21.480
<v Speaker 1>bosses they don't go away. But I think there is

710
00:40:21.519 --> 00:40:23.679
<v Speaker 1>a lot less of them then there used to be

711
00:40:23.719 --> 00:40:27.920
<v Speaker 1>in Hollywood because of these stories that get out because

712
00:40:27.960 --> 00:40:31.280
<v Speaker 1>there's cell phones and oh stuff like that.

713
00:40:31.480 --> 00:40:34.159
<v Speaker 3>Actually, no, this is reminding me of a story that

714
00:40:34.199 --> 00:40:35.639
<v Speaker 3>happened to a friend of mine.

715
00:40:36.280 --> 00:40:38.119
<v Speaker 1>Sam. How much time do we have for this story?

716
00:40:38.119 --> 00:40:40.639
<v Speaker 1>You gotta tell me we don't have much.

717
00:40:42.320 --> 00:40:46.639
<v Speaker 3>Basically, someone was at work, was accused of doing something

718
00:40:46.679 --> 00:40:50.599
<v Speaker 3>that they didn't do. I'll just say it was it

719
00:40:50.679 --> 00:40:55.880
<v Speaker 3>was entertainment related, and they received the nastiest text from

720
00:40:56.159 --> 00:40:59.920
<v Speaker 3>their former employer that I could even imagine, basically saying

721
00:41:00.079 --> 00:41:02.760
<v Speaker 3>they were blacklisted. No one was going to ever want

722
00:41:02.760 --> 00:41:05.000
<v Speaker 3>to work with them again and that they they had

723
00:41:05.039 --> 00:41:08.000
<v Speaker 3>hoped that no one would ever disappoint they would never

724
00:41:08.000 --> 00:41:11.079
<v Speaker 3>disappoint another team like they did in this situation for

725
00:41:11.199 --> 00:41:15.639
<v Speaker 3>something they did not do. And it was my friend

726
00:41:15.679 --> 00:41:19.719
<v Speaker 3>had just moved here to work in this industry and

727
00:41:19.760 --> 00:41:22.079
<v Speaker 3>this was the first message that they got for something

728
00:41:22.119 --> 00:41:23.360
<v Speaker 3>that they did not do on set.

729
00:41:23.480 --> 00:41:26.679
<v Speaker 1>So that was being chewed up and spit out, and

730
00:41:26.960 --> 00:41:29.239
<v Speaker 1>he was ever working this story again. And you show

731
00:41:29.280 --> 00:41:31.159
<v Speaker 1>business isn't for everybody, so.

732
00:41:31.280 --> 00:41:34.960
<v Speaker 3>I mean, luckily, luckily, this person immediately got another gig

733
00:41:35.000 --> 00:41:38.519
<v Speaker 3>because they're extremely talented and was actually invited to the

734
00:41:38.599 --> 00:41:42.800
<v Speaker 3>rat party from the same boss that sent this message

735
00:41:43.119 --> 00:41:45.920
<v Speaker 3>for that previous production. It was a bizarre way to

736
00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:50.480
<v Speaker 3>treat employee at all. So luckily, you know, this guy

737
00:41:50.559 --> 00:41:53.079
<v Speaker 3>is doing just fine because he wasn't guilty of the

738
00:41:53.159 --> 00:41:56.239
<v Speaker 3>charges brought against him. But my god, it was the

739
00:41:56.480 --> 00:41:59.639
<v Speaker 3>most cruel text I'd ever seen from someone.

740
00:42:00.280 --> 00:42:02.559
<v Speaker 1>Now, only in show business, I will tell you, only

741
00:42:02.599 --> 00:42:05.400
<v Speaker 1>in show business do people get this nasty and one

742
00:42:05.440 --> 00:42:10.599
