Speaker 1: am six forty.
Speaker 2: So usually to people that I sent a choir taste.
Speaker 2: But I've always wondered, and the oysters are expensive? Why
Speaker 2: would you ever pay for an oyster when all you
Speaker 2: need to do is have a cold.

Speaker 1: And now handle on the news, ladies and gentlemen. Here's

Speaker 2: sometimes works sometimes doesn't.
Speaker 4: Uh, there's a Wayne Good morning, Wayne.
Speaker 3: Good morning, sir.
Speaker 4: How are you I am? You know it's hotter in hell?
Speaker 4: It's already hot, yes, yeah, it's just it's crazy. And
Speaker 4: then Amy, good morning.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm last, okay, and I'll tell you why because
Speaker 2: I'm gonna spend a little time with you.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 2: First of all, I noticed you're wearing the Disneyland black
Speaker 2: shirt with uh, I think is that black and white
Speaker 2: many on there?
Speaker 4: It's Mickey and oh it's Mickey. I'm sorry. I looked
Speaker 4: like Mini all right, Yeah, but that's.
Speaker 2: The old that steamboat Willie Minnie is Mickey, right, yep, Okay.
Speaker 4: Those are kind of neat when Disney does those.
Speaker 2: Also, I was listening to the last part of the
Speaker 2: show when you were interviewing Jason Nathanson about Beetlejuice and
Speaker 2: he didn't like it very much and compared its returns
Speaker 2: to faith based movies.
Speaker 3: Well, no, that was Reagan.
Speaker 5: He was talking about Reagan by then because we talked
Speaker 5: about Beetle Juice, which he didn't okay, and then he
Speaker 5: really hated the movie Reagan.
Speaker 2: Okay, got it. I was a little confused. I conflated
Speaker 2: the two and as you were as that discussion was
Speaker 2: going on. I've seen a couple of faith based movies,
Speaker 2: you know, Passion of the Christ. We had a KFI
Speaker 2: event for that, by the way, and a lot of
Speaker 2: people showed up to that, and my best friend Savile
Speaker 2: was with me, and we were the only.
Speaker 4: Two Jews in the movie theater. And if you've seen
Speaker 4: that movie, there were.
Speaker 3: A lot of Jews on the screen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but not in the movie theater. I mean
Speaker 2: that was and the problem was is that the audience
Speaker 2: was primarily Goyam non Jews. And he and I are
Speaker 2: sitting next to each other about third row. And if
Speaker 2: you've seen the movie, it's number one, very realistic. It's
Speaker 2: a Mel Gibson movie.
Speaker 4: It's in Aramaic, which is kind of bizarre subtitled. And Jesus.
Speaker 2: The scene where Jesus gets beat up and he's carrying
Speaker 2: the cross to cavalry, I think.
Speaker 4: If I have it right, where.
Speaker 2: He is beat mercilessly, I mean it's several minutes and
Speaker 2: it is gut wrenching, and I look at Savil and
Speaker 2: I said, we're gonna die.
Speaker 4: This crowd is gonna kill us. I'll let you know,
Speaker 4: right now.
Speaker 2: So also, it doesn't help to cheer for the Romans
Speaker 2: in a movie either when you're seeing something like that.
Speaker 4: Real quickly, did you cheer for the Romans? Well, let's
Speaker 4: just I was in trouble. Now.
Speaker 2: One other thing is faith based movies. You know, you'll
Speaker 2: never see a mystery Jesus movie. They don't exist because
Speaker 2: you always know how it ends every single time.
Speaker 4: Okay, guys, are you ready to go?
Speaker 2: Yes, Okay, let's do it. It's handle on the news
Speaker 2: on this Friday morning, September sixth, and let's get to it.
Speaker 4: Amy King, Wayne and me lead story.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, this is the story we're going to
Speaker 2: do at seven o'clock obviously, but we're getting more information
Speaker 2: of the Georgia school shooting. That fourteen year old suspect
Speaker 2: who has admitted it. By the way, I think he's
Speaker 2: already cooperating him said yep. And we were asking yesterday
Speaker 2: how does it get hold of an AR fifteen?
Speaker 4: He's fourteen years old.
Speaker 2: And the story is an and now we know because
Speaker 2: the fathers had been to this. He bought this kid
Speaker 2: an AR fifteen assault weapon as a Christmas present. And
Speaker 2: that's months after the FBI shows up. And investigates and
Speaker 2: questions both the son and the dad as to an
Speaker 2: anonymous tip that was given or several anonymous tips that
Speaker 2: we're given that he was involved in threats on the
Speaker 2: internet against school, against the school, in school shootings, and.
Speaker 4: He denied it. Father denied it.
Speaker 2: Father said, we lock up the guns, which by the way,
Speaker 2: may have been true at that point. I have guns,
Speaker 2: lock him up and all right. Six months later, he
Speaker 2: gives the kid an AR fifteen. I mean, that's scary,
Speaker 2: and the kid had access to it. And then something
Speaker 2: else he said, which really struck home. And I heard
Speaker 2: this yesterday, I think I was on CNN. The father
Speaker 2: said he gave it to him so they could go
Speaker 2: out together and shoot a practice. Now I can see
Speaker 2: you give your fourteen year old kid even a hunting rifle.
Speaker 2: You know, you go out, you shoot squirrels, you do whatever,
Speaker 2: or you go to a shooting range.
Speaker 3: Who practices.
Speaker 2: Were their kid with an AR fifteen, Their fourteen year
Speaker 2: old kid with an assault type weapon, which is you know,
Speaker 2: more dangerous it is this is a military weapon. It
Speaker 2: was designed for the military. It was not designed for
Speaker 2: the public. It was designed for the military. And swat
Speaker 2: and then because of the Second Amendment issue became a
Speaker 2: available to the public.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's I don't get it. I don't get it.
Speaker 2: You know, Wayne, you understand weapons more than I do.
Speaker 2: You know, what's your take on this?
Speaker 3: Well, this is a can of worms that we don't
Speaker 3: want to open right now in terms of and just
Speaker 3: in terms of the differences between a weapon that would
Speaker 3: qualify as a so called assault weapon underhap fans and
Speaker 3: one that doesn't. But I think this the problem here
Speaker 3: is the parenting. In other words, he could have given
Speaker 3: him a twenty two rifle, a twenty two not you know.
Speaker 4: That's what they do, That's what parents do with a
Speaker 4: kid for a kid.
Speaker 3: But I guess it's just that there's so much here
Speaker 3: about He was on the radar of the cops, but
Speaker 3: there was nothing they could do right. There were no
Speaker 3: red flag laws that could have been implemented. And you
Speaker 3: have a father who apparently when the cop. If the
Speaker 3: cops showed up to your house, Bill and they said, hey,
Speaker 3: we're here because we are getting multiple tips that Barbara
Speaker 3: has threatened to shoot up the school, would your reaction
Speaker 3: be to like, no, not my baby, girl, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: totally protect her and believe her one hundred percent, and
Speaker 3: have no further concerns about my daughter and continue to
Speaker 3: end her interest in guns.
Speaker 4: The FBI showed up.
Speaker 2: The authority showed up and said, we've gotten tips at
Speaker 2: Barber's threatening to a few schools.
Speaker 4: I go, oh, yeah, that's about right. Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 3: Also to be serious for a second ago he's being
Speaker 3: charged with something about it.
Speaker 4: Of course.
Speaker 2: Well I'll tell you what I wouldn't do is give
Speaker 2: my daughter a weapon. Well you know how I feel
Speaker 2: about weapons anyway. Also, dad's been charged with murder.
Speaker 3: Yes, we're going to be the new vanguard of Yeah,
Speaker 3: these things are absolutely all right.
Speaker 2: Another story and then we'll try to get a couple
Speaker 2: more before we take our break.
Speaker 5: Hunter through in the twy yesterday, in a rather surprise,
Speaker 5: he pleaded guilty to all nine charges against him, including felonies.
Speaker 5: Of course, he's accused of not paying one point four
Speaker 5: million dollars in taxes, so he could be getting up
Speaker 5: to seventeen years in prison and more than a million
Speaker 5: dollars in fines when he's sentenced to Sentencing is supposed
Speaker 5: to happen in December.
Speaker 2: Okay, Wayne, before you jump in, which I'm not going
Speaker 2: to have you do now at seven point thirty, we're
Speaker 2: going to do this topic and then Wayne is going
Speaker 2: to do it because this is so in his wheelhouse.
Speaker 4: His so expertise is so high on.
Speaker 2: This where if Wayne had nothing to do with the show,
Speaker 2: I would go to Wayne to help explain this. You know,
Speaker 2: how long with Alfred Plea, how long he's going to
Speaker 2: be in jail, what he's looking at, I mean all
Speaker 2: of that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Can I just say the one thing, It was
Speaker 3: a crazy, crazy federal court day with this case yesterday.
Speaker 2: That's what's going to make it fun. That's a seven
Speaker 2: thirty and that is and you really want to stay
Speaker 2: tuned for this because Wayne's bringing perspective that you're not
Speaker 2: going to get.
Speaker 4: Any place else.
Speaker 3: Okay, So there's a new Figaro A Corridor Human Trafficking
Speaker 3: initiative that is a joint effort between local law enforcements
Speaker 3: such as LAPD as well as the FBI and Homeland Security,
Speaker 3: and the US Attorney here is saying we're going to
Speaker 3: get some very very great results from doing this because
Speaker 3: the LAPD has already been trying to crack down on
Speaker 3: child sex trafficking along a stretch of Figaroa in South LA.
Speaker 3: For example, last year, they saved sixty victims. This year,
Speaker 3: during the same time period, they've saved eighty four victims.
Speaker 3: And now the FEDS are getting involved to help with
Speaker 3: this effort. This is apparently a notorious stretch of road
Speaker 3: for prostitution and unfortunately even worse child sex trafficking.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we're talking about the pimps are getting popped,
Speaker 2: and I have a question. It's I understand the pimps
Speaker 2: doing this because they're just disgusting, horrible.
Speaker 4: I can understand that philosophy.
Speaker 2: They just reached that level of depravity right at that point.
Speaker 2: And I understand the vulnerability these poor girls, most of
Speaker 2: them coming out of foster care. By the way, there's
Speaker 2: a whole story there at Karon Bastopout. What I understand
Speaker 2: is if someone goes to neither solicitous and solicits engages
Speaker 2: in sex with someone who's clearly a minor, shouldn't that
Speaker 2: be twenty five years in prison? And I don't hear
Speaker 2: much about that. I hear about the traffickers. I hear
Speaker 2: about those poor girls that are so vulnerable, runaways, et cetera.
Speaker 2: But you know, these guys do it, and then they're
Speaker 2: driving around and they're not the poor. They're not homeless,
Speaker 2: clearly because homeless people can't afford that. And it's it
Speaker 2: just floors me why they're not in handcuffs and you
Speaker 2: never see the they would I should never see the
Speaker 2: outside of a jail cell.
Speaker 4: Just don't get it.
Speaker 3: I don't know the answer. But obviously legislatures have not
Speaker 3: decided that this is such bad behavior that we should
Speaker 3: have a zero tolerance policy for it and jack up
Speaker 3: the penalties to life sentences or as you talk about,
Speaker 3: very very very long sentences, and it just has never happened.
Speaker 3: I can't imagine that there's a big money lobby of
Speaker 3: child sex predators that are bribing our politicians. So, to
Speaker 3: be honest with you, I don't know why. It seems
Speaker 3: like that's something everybody could get behind.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just don't hear about it. You're right, I
Speaker 2: don't know, And I don't know what the penalties are
Speaker 2: for having sex.
Speaker 3: Well, you go to prison, but you know there's like
Speaker 3: lut acts with a child, and that doesn't end your life,
Speaker 3: That doesn't end your freedom for your life, and maybe
Speaker 3: it should.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well it sort of does. If you go to prison.
Speaker 2: If someone is sentenced as a child, a child molester,
Speaker 2: or a predator, as far as I'm concerned, they can
Speaker 2: get thirty days in jail.
Speaker 4: That's fine with me. Just put them in the general population.
Speaker 3: A lot of money is spent to protect those people
Speaker 3: in custody.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they won't last thirty days if they're out in
Speaker 2: the general population.
Speaker 4: So you know they're gone. All right, let's move on.
Speaker 5: If at first you don't succeed, try try again. Lawyers
Speaker 5: for former President Trump, I've asked a federal appeals court
Speaker 5: to stop his sentencing until the judges can hear the
Speaker 5: former president's legal argument to move the hush money case
Speaker 5: into federal court. Of course, the federal judge rejected Trump's
Speaker 5: motion to move the trial over to court, and then
Speaker 5: he's also waiting for I believe Judge Murshan to decide
Speaker 5: whether to delay sentencing or convictions of falsifying business records.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there's a in Wayne jump into this.
Speaker 2: I think there's a legitimate reason to delay sentencing pending
Speaker 2: the election coming up in sixty days. And at the
Speaker 2: same time, one of their arguments, and this is Trump's lawyers,
Speaker 2: I mean they just throw everything against the wall. He
Speaker 2: is in the middle of election and he might be
Speaker 2: sentenced to go to jail immediately and therefore can't campaign.
Speaker 2: What are the chances of anybody going to jail immediately
Speaker 2: like your remanded right now, they throw you in handcuffs
Speaker 2: and now you're in prison, And that's what they're saying,
Speaker 2: that there's a chance of that happening.
Speaker 4: Therefore, the sentencing shouldn't go forward.
Speaker 3: For these charges for this man who is hardly a
Speaker 3: flight risk. It's not like Donald Trump, can you know,
Speaker 3: fly away to Venezuela and hide. It would be the
Speaker 3: only way it could happen is if the judge was
Speaker 3: completely out of line to immediately remand him. Yeah, he'll
Speaker 3: be given time if first of all, we have no
Speaker 3: reason to think he's going to get jail time.
Speaker 4: No, of course not.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't give him jail time for this. But even
Speaker 3: if he gets a jail sentence, he'll be given ample
Speaker 3: time to self surrender.
Speaker 2: Right and as far but here's the argument in terms
Speaker 2: of flight risk. He does have access.
Speaker 4: To a plane.
Speaker 2: Now can he do this, sir? Repetitiously? Well, it's hard
Speaker 2: to fly around in a plane that has letters eight
Speaker 2: feet tall that say Trump on it. You know, it's
Speaker 2: kind of hard to hide that one unless you on
Speaker 2: the Trump part you put another part of you add
Speaker 2: a on the t you add what is it, a
Speaker 2: part of it going across so it says Trump. That
Speaker 2: might fool people.
Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not Donald Trump. I'm Donald Trump.
Speaker 4: Just all you do is change the lettering a lot.
Speaker 3: I Am not the Trump you're looking for.
Speaker 2: Right anyway, So that species and I don't know what's
Speaker 2: gonna I can't imagine Mersham doing that.
Speaker 4: I'll tell you.
Speaker 2: If Trump in fact does get sentenced, it would be
Speaker 2: the best thing for him. And why because the Appeals
Speaker 2: s Court would turn it over overnight. And then his
Speaker 2: argument is I'm a victim, I'm being the judicial system
Speaker 2: has been weaponized against me. Boy would that lead? Would
Speaker 2: that lend credence to that argument?
Speaker 3: Reinvigorate his base?
Speaker 4: Oh for sure?
Speaker 3: Okay, you know that Kroger and Albertson's, the two grocery chains,
Speaker 3: want to get married, and the government doesn't want them to.
Speaker 3: They say it'll hurt competition. So they really want to
Speaker 3: get married so badly that the CEO of Kroger said
Speaker 3: if you allow us to merge, we will cut grocery
Speaker 3: prices by one billion dollars on day one. Please let
Speaker 3: us merge.
Speaker 2: Now, assuming that the government buys that or the courts
Speaker 2: buy that, does it not assume that on day two
Speaker 2: the prices go up.
Speaker 3: That's a good point, Phil there is a day two.
Speaker 4: Also.
Speaker 3: Part of this is because Albertson's prices are already ten
Speaker 3: to twelve percent higher than Krogers. So what they might
Speaker 3: do is say we'll make Albertsons lower their prices because
Speaker 3: they're higher than Kroger's. That's not the same thing as
Speaker 3: saying everybody's grocery prices will be reduced.
Speaker 4: I wonder I've never done a comparison.
Speaker 2: I shop at Ralph's my store, because that's the nearest
Speaker 2: store to me, is Ralph's, and then there's also a
Speaker 2: Gelson's that I only do that when someone sticks a
Speaker 2: gun to my head and said you have to.
Speaker 4: Buy something here. I wonder where that is? Where ralph is?
Speaker 2: And I heard Stater Brothers is pretty low in terms
Speaker 2: of prices, but then they sell used food, so.
Speaker 4: That doesn't count. We should do that, and we should
Speaker 4: know which is.
Speaker 3: Now well, ralse is owned by Kroger. Ralphs is a
Speaker 3: subsidiary of Kroger. So when you're shopping at RALS, you're
Speaker 3: shopping with the Kroger company.
Speaker 2: But they separate them the some stores are more expensive
Speaker 2: than others.
Speaker 3: Yes, they have different levels because Kroger also runs King soupers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and those are Dylan's and Smith's and Payless and
Speaker 2: absolutely all right, So this is.
Speaker 5: Just playing tragic. So there's no Olympic runner from Uganda.
Speaker 5: She's a long distance runner. She competed in the Paris
Speaker 5: Olympics and she is now dead. She got into a
Speaker 5: fight allegedly with her boyfriend, who officials say doused her
Speaker 5: with gasoline and set her on fire. She was taken
Speaker 5: to the hospital with severe injuries. Apparently had burns over
Speaker 5: like seventy five percent of your body.
Speaker 4: What kind of cockroach does something like this?
Speaker 2: I mean it's you just shake your head and you go,
Speaker 2: you know, how do you wrap your head around someone
Speaker 2: does this? Oh story, Wayne ye at jd Vance, I
Speaker 2: did this yesterday.
Speaker 4: I said exactly the same thing that he said.
Speaker 2: No what I said, And it was almost as if
Speaker 2: you were listening to this show.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying you said yesterday what jd Vance
Speaker 3: is now saying yes about.
Speaker 4: Also shooting word for word.
Speaker 3: The school shooting in Georgia and school shootings in general.
Speaker 3: And he said, I don't I don't like it. It's
Speaker 3: a fact of life. I don't like it. We need
Speaker 3: more security at our schools. And he said, you know,
Speaker 3: if you're a psycho and you want to make headlines,
Speaker 3: you realize our schools are soft targets. And that's why
Speaker 3: we have to make them hard targets.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 2: And that's exactly what I said. It's the cost of
Speaker 2: doing business living in America.
Speaker 4: Now, that's it.
Speaker 2: You know, it's just not big news unless you have
Speaker 2: multiple people.
Speaker 4: Shot, killed, wounded.
Speaker 2: And I talked about how do you make the school safe, Well,
Speaker 2: you make them tsa checkpoints centers every single every single
Speaker 2: entrance to the school. You've got to metal detectors, you've
Speaker 2: got fencing, you've got armed police around there, you have wands.
Speaker 2: Every backpack is searched. That's the only way you're going
Speaker 2: to do it. That's the only way you're going to
Speaker 2: do it. They have to effectively, schools have to become
Speaker 2: arm camps.
Speaker 3: Well, and it's the act because you know, this kid
Speaker 3: left and came back.
Speaker 2: Right, he came back, and he should have been Again
Speaker 2: he if we had the kind of security we do
Speaker 2: at airports or military bases, he wouldn't have gone in. Unfortunately,
Speaker 2: and Vance is right, there's it's horrible. I'm glad to
Speaker 2: say he I'm glad he said it's horrible. Thank you,
Speaker 2: But he said we have to live with it. And
Speaker 2: then the then the argument is that, as I said yesterday,
Speaker 2: it's critical mass. I mean, if you literally stopped the
Speaker 2: sale of every gun in America and starting today, no
Speaker 2: more guns, no more assault weapons or assault type weapons,
Speaker 2: which I know we and I have talked about that
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter. There's forty million of them out there,
Speaker 2: you know. I mean, it's there's hundreds of millions of guns.
Speaker 4: I mean, what do you do with that? Okay, So anyways,
Speaker 4: let's move on.
Speaker 2: I was amazed that he and I said exactly the
Speaker 2: same thing.
Speaker 4: JD.
Speaker 2: Vance and I agree. Well, actually we agree on a
Speaker 2: lot of stuff.
Speaker 5: Verizon wants to play with the big boys. It's buying
Speaker 5: Frontier Communications in an all cash deal valued at twenty
Speaker 5: billion dollars. It's expected to close in about eighteen months,
Speaker 5: and Verizon says it's going to help it compete against
Speaker 5: AT and T and other large carriers by letting it
Speaker 5: get more broadband to more customers and more states.
Speaker 4: Hey, I have a question about this, okay. Frontier is
Speaker 4: two point two million.
Speaker 2: Subscribers five or subscribers twenty five states, and they're offering
Speaker 2: twenty billion dollars.
Speaker 4: And how many people use cell phones? Right? Hundreds of millions? Right?
Speaker 2: If you look at this, the value of this particular
Speaker 2: sector has to be a zillion trillion quadrillion dollars.
Speaker 5: It has to be because AT and T has more
Speaker 5: than one hundred and fifteen million customers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think and only has seven.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would love to know what that's what AT
Speaker 2: and T its cap is, you know what it's valued,
Speaker 2: although it can have pretty old equipment.
Speaker 4: So this is this is fiber.
Speaker 2: You know, my neighborhood just went fiber and it was horrible.
Speaker 2: You know what they do is the installation is horrible.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's the part. I mean they're out there
Speaker 2: and you have to drive around and you know, you
Speaker 2: can't even hit the workers or you can't haunt the
Speaker 2: horn to get all upset.
Speaker 3: All right, let's move on. Oh, what's happened to this country?
Speaker 3: I know, when you can't just randomly run a person
Speaker 3: over Scott Free. NASA says we now know when Boeing's
Speaker 3: Starliner capsule will return to Earth. Today is when it
Speaker 3: will return to Earth, having been up there for about
Speaker 3: twelve weeks with lots of mechanical problems. Of course, one
Speaker 3: thing that we'll be missing when it returns is the crew,
Speaker 3: the people. The people are not allowed to come back
Speaker 3: on it because there's still some gas leak and other
Speaker 3: issues with that capsule that makes it unsafe for a
Speaker 3: human to be on it. So it will do an
Speaker 3: autonomous return and we'll get those We'll get those two
Speaker 3: people some other time. February next year, right, Yeah, it's
Speaker 3: not until next year. So instead of one week, they
Speaker 3: get eight months in space.
Speaker 2: All right, what's an extra vacation? You know, it's all
Speaker 2: you hang around, You have a good time.
Speaker 4: I mean, the food's kind of.
Speaker 3: You know, the the omship comedians not very good.
Speaker 4: I heard. That's the other thing. Also, now is a
Speaker 4: good time to buy Boeing stock.
Speaker 2: I would think, based on what's happening with the airline
Speaker 2: division and what's happening with the Space Division, except that's
Speaker 2: based on the belief that at some point they'll get
Speaker 2: their act together again. I can't imagine they wouldn't. I
Speaker 2: cannot imagine they wouldn't. It's just it's changing the culture,
Speaker 2: which which can be changed.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: For example, you wake up in the morning and the
Speaker 2: CEO decides, you know today we're going to decide to
Speaker 2: keep people alive and our airplanes.
Speaker 4: We're going to change our culture.
Speaker 5: A powerful storm is pounding Paradise. The Chinese holiday island
Speaker 5: of High Non is getting hit by the strongest typhoon
Speaker 5: to make landfall in about ten years. It's got maximum
Speaker 5: sustained winds of one hundred and forty miles per hour,
Speaker 5: which is equivalent to a Category four hurricane. They're expecting
Speaker 5: wind damage, trees, buildings, power lines down, flooding, big waves
Speaker 5: along the coast, and then it's supposed to head out
Speaker 5: to sea and then make another landfall in northern Vietnam
Speaker 5: by tomorrow evening.
Speaker 4: Isn't that lovely? Well?
Speaker 2: Hot eroceans more strong, We've been talking about that for years.
Speaker 2: More of them, bigger intensity.
Speaker 4: Droughts. Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Go to woodland hills, today, one hundred and eighteen degrees.
Speaker 2: What is it now in Burbank by the way, Amy,
Speaker 2: right now?
Speaker 3: Right now?
Speaker 5: Well, it was eighty four when I got in this
Speaker 5: morning at here.
Speaker 2: That's unbelievable. Eighty four degrees at what three am?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's eighty two right now, Isn't that special? It's
Speaker 3: cooling down? Yeah, also feeling some heat. Ticket Master regulators
Speaker 3: in the UK have launched an investigation into their use
Speaker 3: of what they call dynamic pricing over this Oasis Reunion
Speaker 3: tour where people waited for hours and hours in the
Speaker 3: queue on ticket Master only to find that the tickets
Speaker 3: were two, three, four five times face value. That's what
Speaker 3: dynamic pricing does. They also call it platinum pricing, and
Speaker 3: it is Ticketmaster saying what we want to do is
Speaker 3: if we have a concert and it's selling very quickly,
Speaker 3: we know there are a lot of ticket scalpers out there,
Speaker 3: so we adjust the price to meet the demand so
Speaker 3: that the scalpers would have to pay so much more
Speaker 3: money that there'd be no incentive for them to buy
Speaker 3: the tickets at face value. They sell them for two
Speaker 3: to five times face value later.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they'd rather make the two to five times as much.
Speaker 3: That's exactly right. Basically, Ticketmaster is saying we want to
Speaker 3: reap the profits right ticket South.
Speaker 4: But let me ask you this.
Speaker 2: First of all, this dynamic pricing go on uber lift.
Speaker 2: That happens all the time airlines. I mean, I booked
Speaker 2: to Las Vegas with my daughter when we went up
Speaker 2: there a couple of weeks ago, and we decided on
Speaker 2: the times that we're going to leave, and I said,
Speaker 2: these are the prices, and I okayed it.
Speaker 4: I told her go ahead.
Speaker 2: Now, between go ahead and the time she app from
Speaker 2: the price we got to the time she booked, it
Speaker 2: was ten minutes and the price had gone up in
Speaker 2: ten minutes, that's what happens. That's dynamic pricing. So you know,
Speaker 2: welcome to the world. A hotel room, right, you can
Speaker 2: do a hotel room fagus one hundred and thirty dollars
Speaker 2: on a Wednesday, that same room as four hundred.
Speaker 4: Ninety five bucks on Friday and Saturday.
Speaker 3: Hey, you know, but pee, I guess people have accepted
Speaker 3: it in some contexts and not yet for count tickets.
Speaker 4: Don't give it.
Speaker 3: Don't give it a face value. You know, when you
Speaker 3: look go look at the hotel room, they say this
Speaker 3: is what it costs you right now. It doesn't say
Speaker 3: this is this is our list price, but right now
Speaker 3: it's two times as much. So the I think people
Speaker 3: are angry because the ticket on it says one hundred
Speaker 3: and fifty dollars or one hundred and ninety dollars for Oasis,
Speaker 3: and then Ticketmaster goes, yes, four hundred dollars please.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's the cost of doing business if you
Speaker 2: want to go see.
Speaker 4: Uh, by the way, is that a group Oasis? Or
Speaker 4: is that?
Speaker 3: Yes? Oasis, a very famous popular group that with two
Speaker 3: brothers that hate each other and back up because they
Speaker 3: could not stop fighting, and announce that next year they
Speaker 3: are going on a reunion tour.
Speaker 2: Ninety's a hot cot ticket Wembley ticket capacity at Wembley Stadium,
Speaker 2: and it's selling out.
Speaker 3: I'm assuming, oh yeah, yeah, there's selling This is not the.
Speaker 2: Beatles where they're exhuming two of them, which I would
Speaker 2: pay this kind of money. Uh okay, let's just move
Speaker 2: on until I'm really into Rocket Roll in a big way.
Speaker 5: Some fans in Brazil are seeing red over the Packers
Speaker 5: and Eagles wearing green, So the Packers and Eagles are
Speaker 5: going to play in South Polo and the Brazilian soccer
Speaker 5: club Corinthians wear green, and so that's a big no
Speaker 5: no to wear green because only the Corinthians can do it.
Speaker 5: In fact, players can be fine. The soccer players can
Speaker 5: be fine if they're spotted wearing clothes or shoes of
Speaker 5: the wrong color. But on Friday, the arena is going
Speaker 5: to be filled with green with the Packers and the Eagles.
Speaker 3: But the Eagles are going to try to sort of.
Speaker 5: Keep things calm by wearing black helmets, white jerseys and
Speaker 5: black pants. And then the Green Bay Packers, which are
Speaker 5: the designated visiting team, are allowed to wear their.
Speaker 4: Green okay pronunciation lesson. Yes, they're ready.
Speaker 2: It's so follow some follows, you know.
Speaker 4: It's it's not easy.
Speaker 3: It's just just just so that we don't get overrun
Speaker 3: by soccer hooligans at the station. The Corinthians, that's whose
Speaker 3: stadium they're using for this game. The Corinthians hate green.
Speaker 3: They don't wear green. They haen because green is the
Speaker 3: color of their local rival, the Palmeiras. So they even
Speaker 3: tried to paint the pitch black because even they didn't
Speaker 3: even want green grass. So that's why they're so upset
Speaker 3: at any green.
Speaker 2: Hey, a quick one about this because I'd ask someone
Speaker 2: some friends that live in England and when the NFL,
Speaker 2: for example, when they played in London and they did
Speaker 2: one of their games, which is now happening. They're going
Speaker 2: around the world and for example, this one is some
Speaker 2: follow I go, boy, do the locals go? No? No,
Speaker 2: it's Americans who are there. It's actually expat sewer there.
Speaker 2: That's the only people that show up. So I don't
Speaker 2: even know why they bother. I guess it's for the
Speaker 2: ex pats.
Speaker 3: Sounds like it's a smart way to get to an
Speaker 3: untapped market because they can't they can't attend games here. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I guess there's and you have to bring the game
Speaker 3: to where the people are.
Speaker 4: And it's uh. I find that interesting. I thought it
Speaker 4: would be locals to that experience this. It's not. It's not. Okay,
Speaker 4: We're done, guys.
