6
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:27.839
<v Speaker 2>Let's start with HBO No Max No.

7
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:32.960
<v Speaker 3>Two years ago, the deep thinkers at Warner Brothers Discovery

8
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:36.880
<v Speaker 3>had the not so bright idea of taking HBO Max

9
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:41.560
<v Speaker 3>their flagship streaming service, dropping HBO, which was, as you know,

10
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:46.079
<v Speaker 3>synonymous as being the Cadillac of PayTV, and instead just

11
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:49.359
<v Speaker 3>went with Max. Yeah, that worked out really, really well.

12
00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:52.560
<v Speaker 3>It turned out that not only did consumers not really

13
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:55.320
<v Speaker 3>respond to a company called Max, but by bringing in

14
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:58.640
<v Speaker 3>all of the Discovery content as a selling point, turned

15
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:01.479
<v Speaker 3>out nobody's really watching the Discovery content. They were going

16
00:01:01.479 --> 00:01:03.960
<v Speaker 3>on to Max to see the HBO content.

17
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:07.040
<v Speaker 2>Now, hold on, I do love the HBO content, but

18
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:13.719
<v Speaker 2>I love watching house hunting shows because I I think

19
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:18.920
<v Speaker 2>I've mentioned this before, I mock the people on there mercilessly.

20
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:23.120
<v Speaker 2>If you want a genuine look into my ID, hang

21
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:24.760
<v Speaker 2>out with me while I'm watching one of those shows.

22
00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:28.319
<v Speaker 2>I am a horrible, horrible person. And my son and

23
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:30.239
<v Speaker 2>I do this together. It's how we bond, and we

24
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:35.760
<v Speaker 2>laugh and we laugh and we laugh, Okay, Carrion.

25
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:39.159
<v Speaker 3>And that was a real issue, and so the execsit

26
00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:42.799
<v Speaker 3>Warner Brothers Discovery finally came around after two years and said,

27
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:43.079
<v Speaker 3>you know.

28
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:43.640
<v Speaker 2>What we should do.

29
00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:48.599
<v Speaker 3>We should rename Max HBO Max. And so here we are.

30
00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:51.280
<v Speaker 3>What's old is new again, deja vu all over again.

31
00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:54.719
<v Speaker 3>Put it however you want. We're back where we started.

32
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:58.040
<v Speaker 3>And it's not such a big surprise because right now

33
00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:02.280
<v Speaker 3>Warnerer's Discovery is discovered they can't compete with Netflix. Netflix

34
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:05.159
<v Speaker 3>wants to be all things to all people, whereas Warner

35
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:09.000
<v Speaker 3>Brothers Discovery now realizes the way to position HBO Max

36
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:12.319
<v Speaker 3>as it's being re christened, is as a high end

37
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:16.400
<v Speaker 3>niche player, in other words, the Cadillac of PATV companies,

38
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:19.039
<v Speaker 3>which is what HBO was in the first place.

39
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:21.080
<v Speaker 2>All right, Well whatever, as long as I got the content,

40
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:23.599
<v Speaker 2>I was just getting used to calling it Max. But

41
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:25.240
<v Speaker 2>I thought it was a dumb move too. But I've

42
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:27.520
<v Speaker 2>seen other companies that have rebranded themselves, and it takes

43
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:28.879
<v Speaker 2>a little while for us to get used to it,

44
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:31.680
<v Speaker 2>and then we do or we don't call the max.

45
00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:34.360
<v Speaker 4>I just called it HBO Max the entire time, and

46
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:36.719
<v Speaker 4>it's just like Twitter and X. Nobody calls it X

47
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:41.879
<v Speaker 4>you're weird. So yeah, it's so pointless. Just give me

48
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:42.479
<v Speaker 4>my shows, man.

49
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:44.400
<v Speaker 2>I think you're right when when we've talked about Last

50
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:46.439
<v Speaker 2>of Us and other shows on there, we just say

51
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:50.120
<v Speaker 2>it's on HBO, don't we right? Yeah, you're right, you're right.

52
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:54.159
<v Speaker 2>I just don't care. But I don't have any investment

53
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:56.439
<v Speaker 2>in it. So as long as I know which icon

54
00:02:56.439 --> 00:02:59.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm clicking on on my Prime or my yeah my,

55
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:02.879
<v Speaker 2>what do I have Amazon TV or my Roku or

56
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:06.439
<v Speaker 2>whatever I have one of each, then uh, I don't care.

57
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:08.479
<v Speaker 2>As long as I can log in, I don't care

58
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:12.280
<v Speaker 2>what it's called. Don't don't start cracking down on passwords.

59
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:13.240
<v Speaker 2>That's the big one.

60
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:15.960
<v Speaker 4>That and never take friends off of the streaming service.

61
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:17.000
<v Speaker 4>That's all I care about.

62
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:19.479
<v Speaker 2>I think they're going to crack down on password schaaring.

63
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:21.960
<v Speaker 2>Why why do you say that I read something that

64
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:23.360
<v Speaker 2>they're cracking down on password chearing?

65
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:24.840
<v Speaker 4>Oh okay, well yeah do it?

66
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:28.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I hope they don't, but I hate when

67
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:28.599
<v Speaker 2>they do.

68
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:30.280
<v Speaker 4>Well Netflix said that they were going to do it,

69
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:32.439
<v Speaker 4>and I have not been impacted. I don't know about

70
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:33.479
<v Speaker 4>anybody else in the world.

71
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:35.800
<v Speaker 2>But here's the funny thing is that I'm not the

72
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:38.960
<v Speaker 2>one who's who's stealing it. I'm not the one who's

73
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:42.439
<v Speaker 2>benefiting than me. Well, no, I share my no, no, no, no, no, no,

74
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:44.680
<v Speaker 2>I would share with you. I share with my kids, though,

75
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:46.960
<v Speaker 2>who are all like your age. I share with my

76
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:50.960
<v Speaker 2>kids so that they don't have to pay right, because

77
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:51.479
<v Speaker 2>they're broke.

78
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:53.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, my brother shares with me because I live in

79
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:54.599
<v Speaker 4>LA and it's crazy.

80
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:58.199
<v Speaker 2>It's crazy, right, right, So I share with my kids

81
00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:01.319
<v Speaker 2>and they're like, well you can do that, Like, they

82
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:03.719
<v Speaker 2>don't have the money for it, so you know, as

83
00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:06.439
<v Speaker 2>far as they're concerned, they don't care. And I think,

84
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:09.039
<v Speaker 2>now you want my kids watching your shows because they're

85
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:11.199
<v Speaker 2>going to talk about it with other people. And that's

86
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:15.080
<v Speaker 2>how you you know, remember when Netflix used to encourage

87
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:19.160
<v Speaker 2>people to share their passwords because that's how they get

88
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:21.839
<v Speaker 2>word of mouth, that's how they get buzz. So some

89
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:24.360
<v Speaker 2>of these smaller streamers, you know, the HBO, I don't know.

90
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:28.959
<v Speaker 2>HBO has like thirty million subscribers, a hundred million I

91
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:30.639
<v Speaker 2>don't know how many of that, but not as many

92
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:33.120
<v Speaker 2>as Netflix. And so I think when you're the underdog,

93
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:35.360
<v Speaker 2>you've got to have as many eyeballs on your product

94
00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:37.279
<v Speaker 2>as possible. I was saying, give it away for free.

95
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:39.600
<v Speaker 2>You got to get eyeballs on your products. Speaking of

96
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:42.480
<v Speaker 2>trying to get eyeballs on the product, how about the

97
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:47.839
<v Speaker 2>greatest cable channel ever? You know what that is? C Span.

98
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:51.079
<v Speaker 2>Of course, c SPAN is getting ready to really live

99
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:51.800
<v Speaker 2>and things.

100
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:54.959
<v Speaker 5>Up in a nation divided, a rare moment of unity

101
00:04:55.439 --> 00:05:00.560
<v Speaker 5>this fall. C SPAN presents ceasefire, where the shouting stops

102
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:02.480
<v Speaker 5>and the conversation begins.

103
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:05.319
<v Speaker 2>This sounds like a Saturday Night Live bit, doesn't it.

104
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:11.120
<v Speaker 2>Cease fire. It's when we don't really do much that's exciting.

105
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:13.800
<v Speaker 2>Cease fire only on c Span.

106
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:16.600
<v Speaker 5>In a town where partisan fighting prevails.

107
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:19.079
<v Speaker 2>They even found like the boring is v O guy

108
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:22.199
<v Speaker 2>who's got a place. Don't get me wrong, I never

109
00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:23.839
<v Speaker 2>want to knock somebody in the business who's you know,

110
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:27.439
<v Speaker 2>working hard, but it's like they're trying to build excitement.

111
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:31.240
<v Speaker 2>And then they go in a world, in a world,

112
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:34.759
<v Speaker 2>in a town where in a town, in a town, right,

113
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:36.800
<v Speaker 2>you gotta in a world, give.

114
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:39.680
<v Speaker 4>The most boring delivery, drive delivery you could possibly get.

115
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:41.399
<v Speaker 4>That's kind of what the note said when they.

116
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:42.199
<v Speaker 5>In a town.

117
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:45.639
<v Speaker 6>Where in a town, in a town, and if you

118
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:47.680
<v Speaker 6>want to come by, it's okay, it'd be great.

119
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:49.560
<v Speaker 2>No, you gotta be like you want to be a

120
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:54.680
<v Speaker 2>town in a town? Yeah right, I just like I

121
00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:56.079
<v Speaker 2>kicked it by my EQ.

122
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:05.360
<v Speaker 5>In a town where partisan fighting prevails, one table, two leaders,

123
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:08.000
<v Speaker 5>one goal, to find common ground.

124
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:09.720
<v Speaker 2>No.

125
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:10.000
<v Speaker 7>No.

126
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:17.160
<v Speaker 2>In a town, one table, two leaders, one door, only

127
00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:22.040
<v Speaker 2>one gets out alive veins only on c SPAN.

128
00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:27.920
<v Speaker 5>In a town where partisan fighting prevails, Right, two leaders,

129
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:29.079
<v Speaker 5>one goal.

130
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:32.439
<v Speaker 2>Only one survives.

131
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:33.160
<v Speaker 5>To find common ground.

132
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:35.160
<v Speaker 2>No this fall.

133
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:40.399
<v Speaker 5>Ceasefire on the network that doesn't take sides only on

134
00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:41.079
<v Speaker 5>c SPAN.

135
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:49.519
<v Speaker 2>Listen to that uplifting music Ceasefire, turning down the rhetoric.

136
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:53.319
<v Speaker 2>I support it. I think it's going to be very intelligent,

137
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:55.959
<v Speaker 2>and it is also proof that we are never going

138
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:59.519
<v Speaker 2>back to a world of civility ever, because if it's

139
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:03.079
<v Speaker 2>on c SP, it is officially uninteresting and way too smart.

140
00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:05.319
<v Speaker 2>We are not going to sit down and try to

141
00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:08.560
<v Speaker 2>find solutions. That is not what America does anymore. We

142
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:15.839
<v Speaker 2>don't so good tri c span and you've ruined everything. Well,

143
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:19.680
<v Speaker 2>speak of politics in entertainment. Did you see that the

144
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:22.519
<v Speaker 2>the tariffs that proposed, you know, the one hundred percent

145
00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:26.920
<v Speaker 2>tariffs and things not produced in Hollywood could wreck Croatia?

146
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:32.959
<v Speaker 2>Did you catch this? Poor Croatia? It turns out that

147
00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:36.439
<v Speaker 2>the town that the Game of Thrones was filmed in

148
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:38.360
<v Speaker 2>has been in a number of other projects as well,

149
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:39.680
<v Speaker 2>and they are really worried.

150
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:43.199
<v Speaker 8>Dreams of tourists flocked to the ancient Croatian city of

151
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:46.480
<v Speaker 8>Dubrovnik to visit Game of Thrones filming locations.

152
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:49.360
<v Speaker 2>And now that we've got writers reporting in their high

153
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:50.839
<v Speaker 2>English accent, we know it's legit.

154
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:54.399
<v Speaker 8>But US President Donald Trump's threats to impose a one

155
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:58.240
<v Speaker 8>hundred percent tariff on all movies produced outside the US

156
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:02.879
<v Speaker 8>have alarmed the entertainment industry. Some locals in Dubrovnik, which

157
00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:05.800
<v Speaker 8>was also used to film Star Wars The Last Jedi

158
00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:10.360
<v Speaker 8>Thear directors, may no longer film there. Central European countries

159
00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:13.319
<v Speaker 8>and the Balkans have been used by Hollywood for years

160
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:18.040
<v Speaker 8>for their dramatic scenery, architecture and tuop filming costs. If

161
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:21.439
<v Speaker 8>a movie or series is a hit, those locations can

162
00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:25.360
<v Speaker 8>become hugely popular with visitors. At Dubrovnik, tour Guide said

163
00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:28.439
<v Speaker 8>the numbers of visitors there have hiked, with one thousand

164
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:31.480
<v Speaker 8>of tourists joining a Game of Thrones tour every day.

165
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:34.480
<v Speaker 2>Wow. Here Throw has been off the air for a

166
00:08:34.519 --> 00:08:36.519
<v Speaker 2>few years too, and they've still got a thousand tourists

167
00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:37.080
<v Speaker 2>a day for that.

168
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:40.519
<v Speaker 8>New souvenir shops were opened and jobs created for tourist

169
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:42.600
<v Speaker 8>tribes and locals. Assisting in form.

170
00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:45.399
<v Speaker 6>Was that let's say it's not too shocking, because don't

171
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:46.279
<v Speaker 6>people still.

172
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:49.279
<v Speaker 2>Do the walk for Lord of the Rings. Oh yeah,

173
00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:53.720
<v Speaker 2>probably in New Zealand probably. Yeah. Last Jedi, she said,

174
00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:58.039
<v Speaker 2>was film there twenty eighteen's Robin Hood. Did anybody see that?

175
00:08:58.759 --> 00:08:59.879
<v Speaker 2>Not like that was one of those where it was

176
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:05.320
<v Speaker 2>in the theater for a week. No. Yeah. James Bond

177
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:08.440
<v Speaker 2>franchise specific scenes are limited and often focused on locations

178
00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:11.320
<v Speaker 2>outside of the old town. The city's stunning coastline and

179
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:13.879
<v Speaker 2>architectural beauty have been featured in the background of various

180
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:18.240
<v Speaker 2>sequences in James Bond movies, as well so a few

181
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:20.399
<v Speaker 2>other things that have been in there. It's a really

182
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:25.000
<v Speaker 2>cool old town, kind of a medieval, kind of deal,

183
00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:28.080
<v Speaker 2>and yeah, they're worried about tariffs and it could could

184
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:30.639
<v Speaker 2>wreck everything. All right, we'll continue. There's no business like

185
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:33.200
<v Speaker 2>show business.

186
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:37.200
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

187
00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:40.000
<v Speaker 2>There's no business.

188
00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:41.759
<v Speaker 4>Line show business.

189
00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:46.080
<v Speaker 2>The latest on Diddy Diddy or Didity Union Tea and

190
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:54.159
<v Speaker 2>his ex girlfriend. I guess, Cassie Ventura. Fine, she's married

191
00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:57.159
<v Speaker 2>now and she's eight months pregnant. I took the stand

192
00:09:57.600 --> 00:09:59.840
<v Speaker 2>as a tough spot for defense attorney because they have

193
00:09:59.879 --> 00:10:03.120
<v Speaker 2>to you basically say to the victim, You're not really

194
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:06.120
<v Speaker 2>a victim, are you? That is awkward.

195
00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:09.120
<v Speaker 9>Cassie Ventura on the witness stand for a fourth day

196
00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:12.159
<v Speaker 9>in the federal criminal trial against hip hop mogul Sean

197
00:10:12.159 --> 00:10:16.799
<v Speaker 9>Diddy Combs. The defense continuing cross examination this morning, confronting

198
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:20.320
<v Speaker 9>her with dozens of her own messages, many explicit, hoping

199
00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:23.240
<v Speaker 9>to convince the jury she was an eager sexual partner

200
00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:26.720
<v Speaker 9>who matched Combs's desires. I'm always ready to freak off,

201
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:30.039
<v Speaker 9>one message, said. Ventura testified that she had no free

202
00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:32.440
<v Speaker 9>will in their relationship, and that when she tried to

203
00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:36.159
<v Speaker 9>leave one of those drug fueled performances, this violence captured

204
00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:38.720
<v Speaker 9>on cameras at a Los Angeles hotel ensued you can.

205
00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:41.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, you remember you saw that video. That's the

206
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:43.679
<v Speaker 2>one where he comes She comes out of a hotel

207
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:46.519
<v Speaker 2>room and heads to the elevator, and he comes out

208
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:49.159
<v Speaker 2>wearing nothing but a towel and flip flops, catches her

209
00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:52.000
<v Speaker 2>at the elevator and then just smacks the hell out

210
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:56.799
<v Speaker 2>of her, kicks her, drags her by her hair. Uh yeah,

211
00:10:56.919 --> 00:10:58.919
<v Speaker 2>that's the video we're talking about in Sea.

212
00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:00.440
<v Speaker 4>Combs kicking in, drag her.

213
00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:03.799
<v Speaker 9>But the defense said Ventura's participation in the freak Offs

214
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:06.639
<v Speaker 9>was at times her idea, showing a text message from

215
00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:09.600
<v Speaker 9>days earlier that said, baby, I want to fo so bad.

216
00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:12.440
<v Speaker 9>You proposed a freak off? A defense attorney said, you

217
00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:16.559
<v Speaker 9>kept asking him. Combs's lawyers revealed he overdosed on painkillers

218
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:17.399
<v Speaker 9>in twenty twelve.

219
00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:19.559
<v Speaker 2>That anybody ever been invited to a freak off? I

220
00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:21.000
<v Speaker 2>never got invited to one. I wonder why.

221
00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:22.960
<v Speaker 4>I don't think I'm cool enough to get invited to

222
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:25.440
<v Speaker 4>a freaking yeah or unlucky enough.

223
00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:28.399
<v Speaker 2>Usually they just tell me to buzz off freak but

224
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:29.440
<v Speaker 2>never a freak.

225
00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:31.159
<v Speaker 4>Off, So asking Ventura.

226
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:33.399
<v Speaker 9>Were the worst years associated in any way with his

227
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:36.600
<v Speaker 9>drug use. Yeah, I would say the defense.

228
00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:40.279
<v Speaker 2>Oh, the drugs made him do it. Oh, that's the problem.

229
00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:43.120
<v Speaker 9>I'm hoping to convince the jury Combs became violent not

230
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:45.559
<v Speaker 9>to coerce Ventura into sex, but because.

231
00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:46.080
<v Speaker 4>He was an addict.

232
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:48.440
<v Speaker 9>They argue he may have been abusive, but that he's

233
00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:49.840
<v Speaker 9>not guilty of sex trafficking.

234
00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:54.559
<v Speaker 2>Yah. That's the defense you get when you've got the

235
00:11:54.720 --> 00:12:01.639
<v Speaker 2>guilty as sin defendant. Like, he may have been very violent,

236
00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:06.600
<v Speaker 2>he may have beaten the the s out of his girlfriends,

237
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:11.360
<v Speaker 2>but he's not a sex trafficker, is he? Trump? Stop it,

238
00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:16.039
<v Speaker 2>don't go down that road. Don't you dare you? Don't

239
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:16.960
<v Speaker 2>you dare to?

240
00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:20.440
<v Speaker 9>As attorney's optimistic outside of court, get us in trouble,

241
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:21.279
<v Speaker 9>doing great.

242
00:12:21.320 --> 00:12:25.679
<v Speaker 2>I said she was ready, and I think she's demonstrating that. Okay,

243
00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:28.039
<v Speaker 2>But there's a twist to this. Remember I said she's

244
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:29.279
<v Speaker 2>eight months pregnant now.

245
00:12:29.320 --> 00:12:32.919
<v Speaker 10>In a letter to the judge overnight, federal prosecutors argue

246
00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:36.120
<v Speaker 10>that defense lawyers are trying to purposely prolong their cross

247
00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:40.279
<v Speaker 10>examination of Cassie Ventura, hoping that if she goes into

248
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:44.159
<v Speaker 10>labor that there could be potentially a mistrial. The defenses

249
00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:47.399
<v Speaker 10>argue though, that they have a right to thoroughly cross

250
00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:49.159
<v Speaker 10>examine the witness fill up.

251
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:52.159
<v Speaker 2>So they're like, well, maybe we just have to we

252
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:55.159
<v Speaker 2>just have to delay as long as we can, so

253
00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:57.679
<v Speaker 2>maybe she goes into labor and then they have to

254
00:12:57.679 --> 00:13:01.240
<v Speaker 2>call the whole thing off. You gotta love the American

255
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:02.840
<v Speaker 2>justice system. Were We're like, well, you know, what are

256
00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:05.159
<v Speaker 2>we gonna do? She went into labor, so I guess

257
00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:07.440
<v Speaker 2>we can't put this sex trafficking guy behind bars, So

258
00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:13.360
<v Speaker 2>you know better look next time. Sorry? Did he did

259
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:16.159
<v Speaker 2>send her a text after that elevator incident. You want

260
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:21.480
<v Speaker 2>to hear what it said? Mind you, this is pretty gross. Okay,

261
00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:24.120
<v Speaker 2>So here it is. So he beats the hell out

262
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:25.639
<v Speaker 2>of her at that elevator. It's the video that we

263
00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:31.480
<v Speaker 2>all saw. And then just days after the incident, did

264
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:35.679
<v Speaker 2>he texted Ventura and said, I'm so horny for you.

265
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:41.320
<v Speaker 2>Ventura said she was surprised and replied, you are What

266
00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:44.559
<v Speaker 2>made you feel that way? He said, I felt that

267
00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:51.440
<v Speaker 2>way from Friday? What you doing? Yeah? She said she

268
00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:53.440
<v Speaker 2>thought it was a little strange that Colmbs would say

269
00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:56.120
<v Speaker 2>that he desired her sexually after he kicked and punched

270
00:13:56.120 --> 00:13:58.720
<v Speaker 2>her that day. She said that wasn't a good vibe.

271
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:01.720
<v Speaker 2>We need a different vibe than Friday. And he said

272
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:04.519
<v Speaker 2>f Friday. Lol, I don't even want to do that again.

273
00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:12.480
<v Speaker 2>She said, lol. True, So that feels like a healthy relationship. Meanwhile,

274
00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:15.440
<v Speaker 2>just see, Chris Brown got dragged into this this ole

275
00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:18.279
<v Speaker 2>diddy thing. His name got dropped at one of the trials.

276
00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:24.240
<v Speaker 2>So Chris Brown's the name gets dropped, and he came

277
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:26.519
<v Speaker 2>up when Combs lawyer asked Casey Venture about the time

278
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:31.600
<v Speaker 2>when the Bad Boy Records mogul was mad at her.

279
00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:34.679
<v Speaker 2>Do you remember when Comb's thought you were dancing with

280
00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:37.120
<v Speaker 2>Chris Brown? She said, I do, but I was not.

281
00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:40.240
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't dancing with Chris Brown. And then he moved

282
00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:42.200
<v Speaker 2>on to another topic. So Chris Brown came up in

283
00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:44.480
<v Speaker 2>the conversation. Chris Brown has got his own problems. Though

284
00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:47.559
<v Speaker 2>Chris Brown is now under arrest in the UK.

285
00:14:47.799 --> 00:14:50.279
<v Speaker 11>A UK cort has ordered Chris Brown to be held

286
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:54.039
<v Speaker 11>in custody for twenty twenty three nightclub assault. Police arrested

287
00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:56.960
<v Speaker 11>Brown in Manchester for his alleged attack on a man

288
00:14:57.080 --> 00:15:00.480
<v Speaker 11>at a London nightclub two years ago. He's been with

289
00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:04.159
<v Speaker 11>grievous bodily harm with intent Brown is currently on tour

290
00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:06.639
<v Speaker 11>in the UK, but it's unclear how this case will

291
00:15:06.679 --> 00:15:08.320
<v Speaker 11>impact his remaining shows there.

292
00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:10.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, not the not great news for Chris Brown. You

293
00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:13.120
<v Speaker 2>just got brought up in a sex trafficking trial, although

294
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:16.399
<v Speaker 2>not really associated with anything, and then now you've been

295
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:20.360
<v Speaker 2>arrested for assault. Incidentally, did you see what sug Knight said?

296
00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:25.240
<v Speaker 2>Sug Knight said that Trump is gonna pardon Diddy if

297
00:15:25.240 --> 00:15:28.799
<v Speaker 2>Didd he is convicted. What are the odds that happens?

298
00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:34.159
<v Speaker 2>Is Trump gonna pardon did he if he found guilty

299
00:15:34.200 --> 00:15:36.200
<v Speaker 2>for sex trafficking and racketeering?

300
00:15:36.559 --> 00:15:38.720
<v Speaker 4>I don't think Trump said anything about Diddy.

301
00:15:38.840 --> 00:15:40.919
<v Speaker 2>And hasn't sug Knight did.

302
00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:43.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I know, but I think if Trump was gonna

303
00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:46.519
<v Speaker 4>do that, Trump would have probably said something, don't you think, Uh?

304
00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:49.600
<v Speaker 2>You know, they they pitched to Trump that he should

305
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:55.360
<v Speaker 2>that he should pardon Derek Chauvin. That's the guy that

306
00:15:55.440 --> 00:15:59.559
<v Speaker 2>killed George Floyd. Who do you think what would be worse?

307
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:01.960
<v Speaker 2>What would be a bigger mistake? Let me phrase it

308
00:16:01.960 --> 00:16:04.600
<v Speaker 2>that way, would be a bigger mistake pardoning Diddy or

309
00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:06.200
<v Speaker 2>partning Derek Chauvin.

310
00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:08.440
<v Speaker 4>Both of them are awful, horrible.

311
00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:12.360
<v Speaker 2>I think he could get away with. Politically speaking, I

312
00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:14.480
<v Speaker 2>think he could get away with pardoning Derek Chaulveren because

313
00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:17.919
<v Speaker 2>I think a lot of his his accolytes are like, oh,

314
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:22.639
<v Speaker 2>that was a terrible trial, that was all media and racism,

315
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:26.000
<v Speaker 2>and Derek Chauven was just being a good cop. But

316
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:30.000
<v Speaker 2>if you pardon a sex trafficker, then that's a bad deal. Like,

317
00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:33.720
<v Speaker 2>you'll have no support on that. But I'm with you.

318
00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:36.120
<v Speaker 2>How about you don't pardon anybody? That would be fine

319
00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:40.639
<v Speaker 2>with me too. I hope Chaven rots for the rest

320
00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:42.720
<v Speaker 2>of his life behind bars. That's what he deserves, So

321
00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:45.600
<v Speaker 2>I hope nobody gets a pardon. It just frustrates me

322
00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:51.799
<v Speaker 2>that these names even get thrown out as potential pardons.

323
00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:52.200
<v Speaker 4>And then this political climbing. You just never know what's

324
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:53.720
<v Speaker 4>going to happen. It's like, you know, you were talking

325
00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:56.639
<v Speaker 4>about the White House having its own channel or streaming

326
00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:59.000
<v Speaker 4>service service, yeah, entertainment service.

327
00:16:59.159 --> 00:16:59.360
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

328
00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:03.600
<v Speaker 4>It's like it's it doesn't feel like political reality. It

329
00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:05.440
<v Speaker 4>seems like a reality television show.

330
00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:08.400
<v Speaker 2>And it's plausible though, Like you throw that out and

331
00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:11.799
<v Speaker 2>you go, I believe that could happen, right, nobody goes

332
00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:13.880
<v Speaker 2>that would never happen. We all go, yeah, I could

333
00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:17.880
<v Speaker 2>see it. Oh, unbelievable. All right, we messed up with

334
00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:20.839
<v Speaker 2>No Broke Broke. Next, you're gonna find out just how

335
00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:21.799
<v Speaker 2>broke we all are.

336
00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:26.079
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

341
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:47.400
<v Speaker 2>made mention the last I don't know, two seconds ago,

342
00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:50.759
<v Speaker 2>whatever it was, we made mention that HBO is changing

343
00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:52.759
<v Speaker 2>their their name or I guess Max is changing their

344
00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:56.200
<v Speaker 2>name back to HBO Max. And we were talking about

345
00:17:56.240 --> 00:17:59.960
<v Speaker 2>how I don't really care what the what they call themselves.

346
00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:03.039
<v Speaker 2>Just don't crack down and password sharing because I share

347
00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:05.920
<v Speaker 2>my password with my kids. My kids are adults, they're

348
00:18:05.920 --> 00:18:10.200
<v Speaker 2>all they're all in there, rule breaker. Yeah, I know,

349
00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:13.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm a real rebel. Uh and uh so I share

350
00:18:13.400 --> 00:18:16.279
<v Speaker 2>with them. They're broke, they ain't got nothing, huh and

<v Speaker 2>uh As we all know, nobody's messing with No Broke Broke.

00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:25.279
<v Speaker 12>Saying see you go, dig u machine mess and win.

353
00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:31.640
<v Speaker 12>No broke broke up saying, see machine, well, how much

354
00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:33.440
<v Speaker 12>are you spending? Because I got to think it about this.

355
00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:36.759
<v Speaker 12>I have a lot of subscriptions I've made mentioned before.

356
00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:39.279
<v Speaker 12>I dumped Netflix because it was my most expensive subscription,

357
00:18:39.400 --> 00:18:40.920
<v Speaker 12>and so every time I see one of those, Oh,

358
00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:43.559
<v Speaker 12>this show on Netflix is breaking records and this has

359
00:18:43.559 --> 00:18:45.200
<v Speaker 12>one hundred percent Rotten Tomatoes score, I.

360
00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:48.119
<v Speaker 2>Kind of feel like I'm missing out. But I just uh,

361
00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:53.319
<v Speaker 2>I just added Disney Plus and so I've rather Disney

362
00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:57.880
<v Speaker 2>Plus Hulu package or whatever. And then, uh, I was

363
00:18:57.920 --> 00:18:59.960
<v Speaker 2>just thinking about this. I got Apple, which I like

364
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:05.519
<v Speaker 2>best value, although I got around Christmas. I got Peacock

365
00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:07.359
<v Speaker 2>for two dollars a month for a year, So that's

366
00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:10.440
<v Speaker 2>pretty good value. Hell yeah, Peacock rules, it's pretty good value,

367
00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:12.440
<v Speaker 2>especially two bucks a month, Right, how do you pass

368
00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:16.920
<v Speaker 2>that up? But I also have I got Max and

369
00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:19.519
<v Speaker 2>Amazon Prime, and I feel like I'm still missing one

370
00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:20.039
<v Speaker 2>in there somewhere.

371
00:19:20.079 --> 00:19:23.920
<v Speaker 6>I just feel like, and they all have their own strains,

372
00:19:24.119 --> 00:19:28.920
<v Speaker 6>but I feel like Peacock has like the broadest library

373
00:19:29.319 --> 00:19:33.240
<v Speaker 6>because technically it's NBC, right, right, But you've got shows

374
00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:37.960
<v Speaker 6>that are from CBS, Fox, Kate or not Kate DLA.

375
00:19:38.039 --> 00:19:42.200
<v Speaker 6>But the CW Yeah, like they it covers so many

376
00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:43.039
<v Speaker 6>great lot of them.

377
00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:45.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm with you on that. I get it. I

378
00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:47.880
<v Speaker 2>get it, which is what you know, Netflix was trying

379
00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:49.160
<v Speaker 2>to do with so many And that's one of the

380
00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:51.160
<v Speaker 2>reasons I like Hulu so much, because Hulu's got a

381
00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:53.440
<v Speaker 2>bunch of that too. It's not just ABC products, it's

382
00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:56.640
<v Speaker 2>it's it's a bunch of other stuff, including Wrexham, which

383
00:19:56.960 --> 00:20:00.519
<v Speaker 2>first two episodes of Wrexham are stellar. So I was

384
00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:02.440
<v Speaker 2>thinking about it and I go, man, I'm putting in

385
00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:05.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's ten bucks here, it's eighteen dollars there,

386
00:20:05.079 --> 00:20:08.400
<v Speaker 2>it's fifteen dollars here, and then Amazon Prime keeps going up.

387
00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:11.079
<v Speaker 2>To come to find out, Seene did a study and

388
00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:13.359
<v Speaker 2>they said that Americans spend over one thousand dollars a

389
00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:16.119
<v Speaker 2>year on just subscriptions. Now we're not even only talking

390
00:20:16.119 --> 00:20:20.880
<v Speaker 2>about We're not just talking about streaming subscriptions. These are

391
00:20:20.920 --> 00:20:22.359
<v Speaker 2>other subscriptions as well.

392
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:23.039
<v Speaker 6>And.

393
00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:29.400
<v Speaker 2>That's adding up quick like. But by generation it's a

394
00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:34.200
<v Speaker 2>little bit different. The generation that spends the most is Kayla,

395
00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:38.039
<v Speaker 2>that's you girl, You are spending the most.

396
00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:39.920
<v Speaker 4>I've really helped me.

397
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:43.480
<v Speaker 2>I can't do it millennials spending the most, but also

398
00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:46.440
<v Speaker 2>the millennials tend to and I'm going to lump you

399
00:20:46.519 --> 00:20:49.440
<v Speaker 2>in with all the other millennials, Kayla. They tend to

400
00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:52.440
<v Speaker 2>be at that age where they're settling down, starting families,

401
00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:56.519
<v Speaker 2>that sort of thing, and so they're starting to assuage

402
00:20:56.559 --> 00:21:00.400
<v Speaker 2>the night life and engage in the family life. Kaylee,

403
00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:01.759
<v Speaker 2>you're not. You're still crazy.

404
00:21:01.920 --> 00:21:05.000
<v Speaker 13>I'm a millennial doing exactly that what you're talking about exactly.

405
00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:06.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay, let's use Brigitta a lot.

406
00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:10.319
<v Speaker 4>That's an example. I'm outside party. I was spending so

407
00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:12.319
<v Speaker 4>much too as a family woman.

408
00:21:13.559 --> 00:21:15.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay, on streaming or on other stuff.

409
00:21:15.920 --> 00:21:17.920
<v Speaker 4>Oh I just jumped into this conversation.

410
00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:21.039
<v Speaker 13>No not oh yeah, no, on streaming and on just

411
00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:25.839
<v Speaker 13>subscriptions in general, every service, yes, everything.

412
00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:26.880
<v Speaker 2>The other thing too. If we take a look at

413
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:29.759
<v Speaker 2>the breakdown, it's not just it's not just streaming services.

414
00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:34.160
<v Speaker 2>We're spending it on. Hold on here, what I got

415
00:21:34.200 --> 00:21:37.400
<v Speaker 2>in front of me. It's not just streamers, industries under pressure,

416
00:21:37.559 --> 00:21:40.400
<v Speaker 2>blah blah blah blah. Oh, that's that's about streamers specifically,

417
00:21:40.599 --> 00:21:45.119
<v Speaker 2>But it's it's like you said, magazine or online news articles.

418
00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:47.799
<v Speaker 2>It's about other subscriptions that we get wrapped up in.

419
00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:50.519
<v Speaker 2>And then the crazy thing is you've got a lot

420
00:21:50.519 --> 00:21:52.759
<v Speaker 2>of places that are making money on you that promise

421
00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:56.440
<v Speaker 2>to track your subscriptions. Have you seen what's the is

422
00:21:56.480 --> 00:21:59.559
<v Speaker 2>it quick Books? It's got the They're like, oh, are

423
00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:01.680
<v Speaker 2>you anyway do you have a subscription? You don't even

424
00:22:01.680 --> 00:22:04.079
<v Speaker 2>know about it. And everybody's to spend a Spotify and

425
00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:08.000
<v Speaker 2>Pandora and maybe they got to satellite radio. Don't do that,

426
00:22:08.039 --> 00:22:11.079
<v Speaker 2>you got iHeart free. But a lot of other subscriptions

427
00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:14.319
<v Speaker 2>going on as well. So people are going, I don't

428
00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:15.519
<v Speaker 2>have any money, and then they take a look and

429
00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:17.240
<v Speaker 2>they go where's my money going, and go, oh, it's

430
00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:21.920
<v Speaker 2>going away fifteen bucks at a time. And we are shifting.

431
00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:26.640
<v Speaker 2>We are shifting to a rental economy. I tried to

432
00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:29.680
<v Speaker 2>explain this to my kids. I said, we rent everything

433
00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:32.359
<v Speaker 2>because you can't take anything with you. But the longer

434
00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:35.640
<v Speaker 2>you own it, the less your payments on the rent.

435
00:22:35.680 --> 00:22:39.119
<v Speaker 2>So for instance, you buy a house, I own this house. Sure,

436
00:22:39.160 --> 00:22:43.119
<v Speaker 2>you do until you're dust, and once your dust, you

437
00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:45.480
<v Speaker 2>don't own it anymore. That house is getting passed on

438
00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:47.880
<v Speaker 2>to somebody else, or it's being sold and somebody else

439
00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:50.920
<v Speaker 2>is going to take the profits. Ultimately, everything that we

440
00:22:51.079 --> 00:22:54.119
<v Speaker 2>have is temporary. And I'm gonna sound a little bit

441
00:22:54.160 --> 00:22:56.000
<v Speaker 2>philosophical here, and I don't mean to get too deep

442
00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:59.200
<v Speaker 2>in the weeds on this, but everything is a constant payment,

443
00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:01.400
<v Speaker 2>even after you get something paid off. Like, for instance,

444
00:23:01.400 --> 00:23:02.880
<v Speaker 2>I got a car. I'm making payments on my car

445
00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:05.880
<v Speaker 2>right and I know that once I have that car

446
00:23:05.960 --> 00:23:08.359
<v Speaker 2>paid off, the longer I hold on to that car,

447
00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:10.599
<v Speaker 2>the more value I get out of every payment that

448
00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:13.839
<v Speaker 2>I made along the way. Okay, so everything is a

449
00:23:13.880 --> 00:23:16.200
<v Speaker 2>constant payment. But what happens when you go and buy

450
00:23:16.200 --> 00:23:18.960
<v Speaker 2>a car? What does the salesperson always say? Salesperson doesn't

451
00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:21.519
<v Speaker 2>say how much you want to spend? No, no, no,

452
00:23:21.519 --> 00:23:25.640
<v Speaker 2>no no, no, salesperson knows. They say what do you

453
00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:29.079
<v Speaker 2>want your monthly payment to be? That's because we do

454
00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:32.759
<v Speaker 2>everything now. We don't base our lives any longer about

455
00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:35.640
<v Speaker 2>building equity. For many people, they've given up on the

456
00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:37.680
<v Speaker 2>American dream of owning a home and they just go,

457
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:40.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna be a forever renter. And rather than saying

458
00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:42.119
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna squirrel away money so I can come up

459
00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:44.640
<v Speaker 2>with a down payment, we start seeing the news articles

460
00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:46.559
<v Speaker 2>in California about how you have to make three hundred

461
00:23:46.599 --> 00:23:48.839
<v Speaker 2>and fifty thousand dollars a year to be able to

462
00:23:48.839 --> 00:23:51.400
<v Speaker 2>afford a median home in Orange County, and you go,

463
00:23:51.880 --> 00:23:54.119
<v Speaker 2>I'll never do that. But I can keep renting my

464
00:23:54.240 --> 00:23:57.480
<v Speaker 2>current place at three grand a month or four grand

465
00:23:57.519 --> 00:23:59.319
<v Speaker 2>a month, whatever you're paying, I don't know. And you go,

466
00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:01.480
<v Speaker 2>I can do that, but I can't keep squirreling away

467
00:24:01.559 --> 00:24:03.920
<v Speaker 2>enough money to come up with two hundred thousand dollars

468
00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:06.680
<v Speaker 2>for a down payment. Instead, I'm gonna take any extra money.

469
00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:08.119
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna put that in a vacation front and I'm

470
00:24:08.119 --> 00:24:10.759
<v Speaker 2>gonna go live my life. I'm gonna rent, and then

471
00:24:10.759 --> 00:24:13.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna spend the rest of my money on living.

472
00:24:13.519 --> 00:24:17.079
<v Speaker 2>In other words, we're not concerned with building equity any longer.

473
00:24:17.119 --> 00:24:19.720
<v Speaker 2>It's all about cash flow, not a great way to

474
00:24:19.759 --> 00:24:21.839
<v Speaker 2>build wealth. A lot of people saying, yeah, but I'm

475
00:24:21.880 --> 00:24:24.799
<v Speaker 2>living my life. I'm not saving money. I'm not squirreling

476
00:24:24.799 --> 00:24:27.119
<v Speaker 2>that away for a down payment in order to build wealth.

477
00:24:27.759 --> 00:24:31.119
<v Speaker 2>But I am going to enjoy the new season of

478
00:24:31.480 --> 00:24:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Wrexham or Last of Us or ted Lasso or whatever's

479
00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:40.279
<v Speaker 2>on Peacock. That's what we've decided we're gonna spend our

480
00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:44.200
<v Speaker 2>money on instead, and we've basically resolved ourselves to saying

481
00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:48.759
<v Speaker 2>life is about rentals, It's about cash flow. And since

482
00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:51.079
<v Speaker 2>I can't take it with me anyway, what do I

483
00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:53.599
<v Speaker 2>care if I have a lot in the end. When

484
00:24:53.599 --> 00:24:55.680
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna care is when you want to retire. That's

485
00:24:55.680 --> 00:24:59.440
<v Speaker 2>when you're gonna care about it, because honestly, building wealth,

486
00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:01.720
<v Speaker 2>as long as you're taking those cash flows, that's fine

487
00:25:02.119 --> 00:25:04.720
<v Speaker 2>until it comes time to retire. And I don't know

488
00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:08.359
<v Speaker 2>about you guys, but I hit my mid forties and

489
00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:12.119
<v Speaker 2>I went I only got about twenty some years left here,

490
00:25:13.000 --> 00:25:15.440
<v Speaker 2>and that means I better make sure I got enough money.

491
00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:17.480
<v Speaker 2>And if I got enough money, if I've got enough wealth,

492
00:25:19.240 --> 00:25:22.000
<v Speaker 2>I can enjoy another twenty years after that. Of course,

493
00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:26.720
<v Speaker 2>probably not. My heart will probably give out, probably have

494
00:25:26.759 --> 00:25:30.279
<v Speaker 2>some heart attack day before I retire. My wife will

495
00:25:30.319 --> 00:25:33.720
<v Speaker 2>collect all the life insurance. I won't enjoy anything. Just

496
00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:37.359
<v Speaker 2>don't get any fights, that's right, because, as we learned

497
00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:39.759
<v Speaker 2>earlier on tonight's show, every time I get in a fight,

498
00:25:39.799 --> 00:25:45.400
<v Speaker 2>I get my ass kicked bad. All right? If I

499
00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:48.200
<v Speaker 2>kick off, will my wife DI have a broken heart syndrome.

500
00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:51.160
<v Speaker 2>Probably not, according to science.

501
00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:56.200
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to kfi AM six forty on demand.

502
00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:01.559
<v Speaker 2>Thank you so much for spending time with us tonight,

<v Speaker 2>Chris Merril kfi AM six forty. Thank you to Foosh

504
00:26:05.519 --> 00:26:09.240
<v Speaker 2>the who stepped in. Thank you buddy, Thank you Foosh

505
00:26:09.240 --> 00:26:11.279
<v Speaker 2>stepped in for Raoul tonight. And of course you'll hear

506
00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:15.640
<v Speaker 2>Foush all the time during the week whenever people let

507
00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:19.519
<v Speaker 2>him talk on the air. And then h Kayla, Kayla

508
00:26:19.599 --> 00:26:24.200
<v Speaker 2>as always stellar, mediocre job, so well done. Kayla needs

509
00:26:24.279 --> 00:26:24.759
<v Speaker 2>to chill.

510
00:26:25.200 --> 00:26:29.240
<v Speaker 6>Just love Kaylea all right, I have just learned about

511
00:26:29.319 --> 00:26:30.960
<v Speaker 6>that drop today.

512
00:26:31.200 --> 00:26:33.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, what was it like three weeks ago that some

513
00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:36.039
<v Speaker 2>guy said that I love it. That's my favorite thing ever.

514
00:26:36.400 --> 00:26:42.160
<v Speaker 2>It's so good. Kayla needs to chill, calm down, Kayla exactly.

515
00:26:43.359 --> 00:26:46.319
<v Speaker 2>And then Brigitta. Whenever Brigitta comes in, everything gets a

516
00:26:46.319 --> 00:26:48.640
<v Speaker 2>little bit better. So we're we're so glad that when

517
00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:54.039
<v Speaker 2>Brigitta joins the show at six o'clock. Yeah, just everything

518
00:26:54.039 --> 00:26:59.000
<v Speaker 2>feels likelies come home. Yeah, yes, perfect. Speaking of family,

519
00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:03.200
<v Speaker 2>there's nobody we like more than our big sister, doctor

520
00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:06.039
<v Speaker 2>Wendy Walsh. She brings to doctor Wendy after dark, starting

521
00:27:06.039 --> 00:27:08.119
<v Speaker 2>at seven o'clock. Doctor Wendy, I wanted to ask you

522
00:27:08.119 --> 00:27:11.400
<v Speaker 2>about this. What's a broken heart syndrome? I was reading

523
00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:14.440
<v Speaker 2>about this week. It is the thing, and I've said

524
00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:18.440
<v Speaker 2>before my grandmother died like a year after my grandfather, huh,

525
00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:20.319
<v Speaker 2>and when he passed, she just didn't know what to

526
00:27:20.359 --> 00:27:23.920
<v Speaker 2>do with herself. And when she died, it was I mean,

527
00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:27.640
<v Speaker 2>it was a surprise, but well it was like I

528
00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:30.359
<v Speaker 2>think it was a broken heart syndrome situation. Yeah, And

529
00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:33.920
<v Speaker 2>they're saying that it kind of manifests itself in uh,

530
00:27:34.039 --> 00:27:34.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, like.

531
00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:38.200
<v Speaker 4>Right grieving.

532
00:27:39.440 --> 00:27:42.039
<v Speaker 7>Here's the thing about relationships, You actually kind of emerge

533
00:27:42.079 --> 00:27:45.160
<v Speaker 7>and become one identity. Obviously, you have to have individual

534
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:48.160
<v Speaker 7>autonomy to have a healthy relationship and some overlap, but

535
00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:49.640
<v Speaker 7>that overlap is what dies.

536
00:27:49.759 --> 00:27:50.039
<v Speaker 4>Right.

537
00:27:50.640 --> 00:27:53.799
<v Speaker 7>And actually my own parents, my mom died of breast

538
00:27:53.799 --> 00:27:56.519
<v Speaker 7>cancer and like about six months later, my dad got

539
00:27:56.599 --> 00:27:58.440
<v Speaker 7>lung cancer and died in six weeks.

540
00:27:58.480 --> 00:28:00.799
<v Speaker 2>Really, oh yeah.

541
00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:02.599
<v Speaker 4>And I was young. It was it was, it was bad.

542
00:28:02.599 --> 00:28:06.119
<v Speaker 7>But anyway, So we had a cardiologist on our show

543
00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:08.519
<v Speaker 7>a couple of years ago who said two things that

544
00:28:08.599 --> 00:28:10.880
<v Speaker 7>was interesting. He said, broken heart syndrome really is a

545
00:28:10.920 --> 00:28:14.279
<v Speaker 7>thing and people can die from it. But secondly, he's

546
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:17.920
<v Speaker 7>never known anyone who's in deep love in the early

547
00:28:17.920 --> 00:28:21.480
<v Speaker 7>stages of love to ever have a heart attack. He

548
00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:24.720
<v Speaker 7>thinks love is very protective of heart disease.

549
00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:29.000
<v Speaker 2>Interesting, is that like maybe the adrenaline or something, maybe.

550
00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:33.599
<v Speaker 7>All those hormones, all of those hormones.

551
00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:34.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

552
00:28:34.680 --> 00:28:39.039
<v Speaker 2>Interesting. So, doctor Wendy, I wanted to kind of talk

553
00:28:39.039 --> 00:28:40.559
<v Speaker 2>with you about that and then the things that you've

554
00:28:40.559 --> 00:28:44.359
<v Speaker 2>talked about about relationships, that relationships have like a time

555
00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:47.640
<v Speaker 2>period and you go and this relationship was great until

556
00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:49.920
<v Speaker 2>it was over right, But like in the case of

557
00:28:49.920 --> 00:28:51.920
<v Speaker 2>my grandparents is fifty years together and I'm guessing your

558
00:28:51.920 --> 00:28:53.319
<v Speaker 2>parents were together a long time.

559
00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:56.000
<v Speaker 4>You know, thirty thirty five, thirty years thirty five.

560
00:28:56.359 --> 00:28:59.480
<v Speaker 2>So I mean, when we talk about a relationship, it

561
00:28:59.559 --> 00:29:02.079
<v Speaker 2>was good and then we were just done and it

562
00:29:02.160 --> 00:29:05.359
<v Speaker 2>was fine, and that's that's part of the cycle of relationships.

563
00:29:05.359 --> 00:29:07.839
<v Speaker 2>But how does that how does that reconcile because this

564
00:29:07.960 --> 00:29:11.039
<v Speaker 2>broken heart syndrome seems like, as you mentioned, people start

565
00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:12.720
<v Speaker 2>to kind of meld into one identity.

566
00:29:13.759 --> 00:29:16.440
<v Speaker 7>A lot of people can suffer great mental health and

567
00:29:16.480 --> 00:29:19.480
<v Speaker 7>physical health after divorce as well, not just death. And

568
00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:23.200
<v Speaker 7>that's from really secure, long term attachments. But I think

569
00:29:23.200 --> 00:29:25.920
<v Speaker 7>the other thing you're kind of getting that here is

570
00:29:25.960 --> 00:29:29.480
<v Speaker 7>that because of our very long life expectancies, you know,

571
00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:34.640
<v Speaker 7>we're outliving our relationships, right, and they end when they end,

572
00:29:34.680 --> 00:29:37.839
<v Speaker 7>and closure and culmination happens. I hate the term a

573
00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:42.559
<v Speaker 7>failed relationship. No such thing, right, But in our grandparents' time,

574
00:29:43.240 --> 00:29:47.359
<v Speaker 7>there were different expectations for relationships. You didn't expect to

575
00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:50.839
<v Speaker 7>find your soulmate and have romantic love until death to

576
00:29:50.960 --> 00:29:53.480
<v Speaker 7>us part. You kind of stayed in your own lane,

577
00:29:53.519 --> 00:29:56.039
<v Speaker 7>and you each had your job to do, and it

578
00:29:56.119 --> 00:29:59.599
<v Speaker 7>was one of survival and exchanging enough care to get

579
00:29:59.599 --> 00:30:01.440
<v Speaker 7>some kids up and out of the nest and everybody

580
00:30:01.440 --> 00:30:07.319
<v Speaker 7>stay alive. And today relationships are far more fragile because

581
00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:10.839
<v Speaker 7>people are putting much higher expectations on them.

582
00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:12.039
<v Speaker 2>Is that fair?

583
00:30:12.799 --> 00:30:14.720
<v Speaker 7>It's not fair at all. But I'll tell you what

584
00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:18.240
<v Speaker 7>relationships have become a replacement for the village. We have

585
00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:23.400
<v Speaker 7>lost our interconnected village. So our social support system used

586
00:30:23.400 --> 00:30:27.440
<v Speaker 7>to be our friends, our family, our small town. But

587
00:30:27.640 --> 00:30:30.839
<v Speaker 7>now because of the last of really i'd say thirty

588
00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:36.599
<v Speaker 7>forty years of the mobility needed for modern capitalism, mobility

589
00:30:36.599 --> 00:30:39.319
<v Speaker 7>of employees. People are just moving around the country like

590
00:30:39.400 --> 00:30:43.799
<v Speaker 7>crazy and being pulled away from their support networks. So

591
00:30:43.839 --> 00:30:47.559
<v Speaker 7>they're putting it all on their significant other to be everything.

592
00:30:48.079 --> 00:30:49.759
<v Speaker 7>And it is really unfair.

593
00:30:50.480 --> 00:30:54.440
<v Speaker 2>I've really but I yeah, yeah, why is my wife

594
00:30:54.559 --> 00:30:58.759
<v Speaker 2>soone fair to me? I've done that. I mean radio,

595
00:30:58.839 --> 00:31:00.480
<v Speaker 2>You know how radio goes. You work your way up

596
00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:02.400
<v Speaker 2>and you move from market to market.

597
00:31:02.759 --> 00:31:02.960
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

598
00:31:03.400 --> 00:31:05.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, No, this is if you're moving.

599
00:31:05.440 --> 00:31:08.359
<v Speaker 7>You're moving her uprooting her and bringing her around. That

600
00:31:08.440 --> 00:31:11.440
<v Speaker 7>means every place you land and the people you've left

601
00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:15.440
<v Speaker 7>behind you replace them and their jobs in her life,

602
00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:16.440
<v Speaker 7>their emotional jobs.

603
00:31:16.759 --> 00:31:19.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but she the same thing for me, right, I mean, so.

604
00:31:19.680 --> 00:31:21.200
<v Speaker 4>You start to rely on each other more.

605
00:31:21.519 --> 00:31:22.920
<v Speaker 2>Right, But I always thought that was a good thing

606
00:31:23.000 --> 00:31:25.559
<v Speaker 2>for the relationship, like, hey, we're always there for one another.

607
00:31:25.720 --> 00:31:29.200
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, but humans need a wide support system. Yes, you

608
00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:31.480
<v Speaker 7>do need a best friend that you can rely on

609
00:31:31.960 --> 00:31:35.240
<v Speaker 7>in your relationship. But it also makes them more fragile

610
00:31:35.240 --> 00:31:39.480
<v Speaker 7>because most relationships can't live up to that expectation of

611
00:31:39.599 --> 00:31:41.160
<v Speaker 7>all be everything for you.

612
00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:43.519
<v Speaker 2>And this is why I keep telling her to lower

613
00:31:43.559 --> 00:31:44.599
<v Speaker 2>her expectations of me.

614
00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:47.920
<v Speaker 7>I actually think it sad, but it sounds like good

615
00:31:47.920 --> 00:31:50.960
<v Speaker 7>advice see listen.

616
00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:52.559
<v Speaker 2>If you want to warm up to Doctor Wendy, you

617
00:31:52.640 --> 00:31:54.559
