Speaker 1: And now it's time for Joe Escalante Live from Hollywood.
Speaker 1: If by Hollywood you mean Burbank across the Street promo
Speaker 1: meaners it's at that serves beer.
Speaker 2: Good Evening America. Tonight, we break down the box office
Speaker 2: with new films challenging Fantastic Four for the top spot.
Speaker 2: We'll also get into the latest legal troubles facing your
Speaker 2: favorite top stars and a shocking new lawsuit, a second
Speaker 2: lawsuit against Shannon Sharp, and some new developments in the
Speaker 2: Ditty case. And stay with us for all the drama
Speaker 2: from the big screen to the courthouse. Sam and yours
Speaker 2: truly your host, set our new record for seeing movies
Speaker 2: this week. So some of these are good, some of
Speaker 2: these are bad. Some of them are so bad they're
Speaker 2: good again. But we'll get into the whole list. First
Speaker 2: of all, we have some breaking news. A celebrity high
Speaker 2: celebrity hair colorist Ryan Pearl was arrested in Miami this week.
Speaker 2: Sam Pearl, whose clients have reportedly included Hayley Bieber and
Speaker 2: Sophie Turner, was arrested on felony charge including traveling to
Speaker 2: meet a childlish sexual contact, transmitting harmful content to a miner,
Speaker 2: and cocaine possession. According to Miami police, the arrest followed
Speaker 2: a tip from the mother of a fifteen year old
Speaker 2: girl who noticed suspicious transactions and inappropriate messages on her
Speaker 2: daughter's phone. Police took control of the teen's phone and
Speaker 2: posed as the girl, complete with a wig and a
Speaker 2: Hello Kitty outfit, in controlled conversations with Pearl. They say
Speaker 2: Pearl sent explicit photos and made sexual remarks, fully aware
Speaker 2: he was communicating with a miner or a policeman in
Speaker 2: a wig. The arrest was made when Pearl arrived at
Speaker 2: a pre arranged playground our meeting spot, where police found
Speaker 2: condoms and what they believe to be cocaine in his car.
Speaker 2: After appearing in a bond court, judge set the bail
Speaker 2: at twenty six thousand dollars, which he has since paid.
Speaker 2: In his roaming the Miami Dade area, a judge is
Speaker 2: ordered him has ordered him to have no contact with
Speaker 2: the victim. Police are looking into possible other victims. Sam,
Speaker 2: I'm leading that tonight because hair colorists of the stars
Speaker 2: are also getting into trouble. Everybody's joining the act.
Speaker 3: I was about to say, Oh, I'm clutching my pearls
Speaker 3: over here. But that would have been a pun considering
Speaker 3: the guy's name.
Speaker 2: Yes, so a celebrity colorist colorists, I know a colorist.
Speaker 2: It's a celebrity coloriss. He's a scoundrel. I think it's
Speaker 2: like one of those jobs you don't have to go
Speaker 2: to beauty school for you, just like, yeah, I color
Speaker 2: die your hair. I'll come over to your house and
Speaker 2: die your hair. This is this guy does. It goes
Speaker 2: to people's houses dyes their hair. And no one wants
Speaker 2: to dye their own hair. Even though everybody knows how
Speaker 2: to dye their hair. You just got to get someone
Speaker 2: else to do it. You need an extra set of hands.
Speaker 2: So it's a I think it's a low bar for
Speaker 2: entry in that career. So I think they should check
Speaker 2: out all the celebrity hair colorists.
Speaker 3: Give them a lot, make sure they take like some
Speaker 3: kind of licensing exam something.
Speaker 2: I could just follow them my ramp for a couple
Speaker 2: of days, check a confiscate their computers. That's what That's
Speaker 2: the easiest way. And this is just a lead into
Speaker 2: what's going on with Diddy right now. Prosecutors are saying
Speaker 2: that they will be asking for a substantially higher prison sentence.
Speaker 2: Than the four to five years that they originally anticipated.
Speaker 2: As you remember, Sam Diddy got off on most things,
Speaker 2: but he there was some.
Speaker 3: I think that's why he had these freak offs. Oh hilarious, heyo.
Speaker 2: Did. He was convicted on two counts of transportation to
Speaker 2: engage in prostitution charge. It carries a maximum ten years
Speaker 2: on each count. Okay, so two could go for twenty.
Speaker 2: But you know these people never never go for as
Speaker 2: much as they could unless they broke into the capitol.
Speaker 2: So sorry. He was acquitted on the more serious charges
Speaker 2: of racketeering and sex trafficking. They just couldn't make those stick.
Speaker 2: Too much baby oil. While prosecutors initially believed federal sentence
Speaker 2: seeing guidelines would recommend a sentence of four to five years,
Speaker 2: a new court filing argues the range will be higher,
Speaker 2: partly due to the risk that Combs may flee. In
Speaker 2: the same filing, prosecutors also opposed Comb's recent request to
Speaker 2: be released on a massive fifty million dollars bail while
Speaker 2: he awaits his October third sentencing. They argue he has
Speaker 2: fail to prove he is not a danger to the community,
Speaker 2: citing his extensive history of violence, some of which has
Speaker 2: been captured on surveillance videos and everybody's seen. The judge
Speaker 2: previously denied a similar bail request. For their part, Combs's
Speaker 2: lawyers argue that the sentencing guidelines, if calculated correctly, would
Speaker 2: carry a call would only call for a term of
Speaker 2: twenty one to twenty seven months. That's Combs's lawyers wow,
Speaker 2: twenty one to twenty seven months in prison. They have
Speaker 2: been fighting for his release, arguing that his detention is
Speaker 2: unjust and that he was acquitted of the most serious charges.
Speaker 2: Combs will remain in custody and tell the sentencing date.
Speaker 2: I think they have a point because he was acquitted
Speaker 2: on the serious charges. So what's he still doing in jail?
Speaker 3: What a good question?
Speaker 2: What's he doing there? I mean, I don't approve of
Speaker 2: anything he ever did, ever nothing. I don't like any
Speaker 2: of it.
Speaker 3: If he's is, he's still a threat to harror others
Speaker 3: and traffic others and do the same thing that he
Speaker 3: got thrown in.
Speaker 2: I don't think for And if you got a fifty
Speaker 2: million dollar bail, this guy doesn't have a lot of
Speaker 2: money left. That's that's you know, he's doing everything, and
Speaker 2: then they're gonna sentence him and there you know, then
Speaker 2: they're going to probably give him credit for time served.
Speaker 2: He served a lot of time. Uh, and what you
Speaker 2: know Pete did he can't. I don't think he's a
Speaker 2: flight risk because look at him. He could. He he
Speaker 2: beat these charges. So he goes out. It's, if anything,
Speaker 2: they should have just let him out during the trial
Speaker 2: so he could get into some other trouble and they
Speaker 2: could get some real charges against him. Yeah, because they
Speaker 2: they locked him up and then he couldn't do anything
Speaker 2: like murder any witnesses. So then now look at him,
Speaker 2: Not that you want witnesses to be murdered, but you know,
Speaker 2: if you're trying toil and nail this guy to the wall.
Speaker 3: Well you know what he should do.
Speaker 2: Team up with a celebrity hair colorist and.
Speaker 3: Obviously no, or just do what you always say, give
Speaker 3: away all of his money one percent.
Speaker 2: He should be giving away all his money one percent
Speaker 2: of it. And then after he's given it all the
Speaker 2: way and he's shown he has nothing, you stay at
Speaker 2: your friend's house for a while and then you make
Speaker 2: a deal somewhere where you get eight to ten million
Speaker 2: dollars to produce a bunch of records for some label.
Speaker 3: I'm sure there's a well loubed up couch to lay on.
Speaker 2: Somewhere and then or do an endorsement for baby oil.
Speaker 2: Not Johnson and Johnson, because that's too you know, standard,
Speaker 2: it's too high profile. But what if you want to
Speaker 2: break into the baby oil market and Johnson and Johnson's
Speaker 2: got it wrapped up? You get p Diddy. I'd say
Speaker 2: you'd be number two right away, number two in them
Speaker 2: in the nation in baby ohel ditty oil. You thought
Speaker 2: I was slimy, I'm just slippery thanks to Acme Baby.
Speaker 3: Oil slip out of any charges they throw.
Speaker 2: At Yeah, give the cops the slip with Acme baby
Speaker 2: Uh huh.
Speaker 3: Oh goodness. Do you want to My soul feels like
Speaker 3: it's burning a little right now.
Speaker 2: Do you want to make a boy?
Speaker 3: What was it?
Speaker 2: Do you want to make a Prince? No? I was
Speaker 2: gonna say, there's a famous quote by Prince No, by
Speaker 2: boy George. Have you ever heard it? No?
Speaker 3: I haven't.
Speaker 2: I don't want to repeat it. It's two racist.
Speaker 3: You want to do it off the air, Yeah, we'll
Speaker 3: do it off the air.
Speaker 2: And if you know it, you could call you could
Speaker 2: call into the studio what's our number here?
Speaker 3: Let's go with eight seven seven five two oh eleven
Speaker 3: fifty eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what if you call and you know,
Speaker 2: you know boy George's nickname for Prince or how he
Speaker 2: described him, I will give you a pair of tickets
Speaker 2: to see Sublime in Las Vegas at the Sublime Takeover
Speaker 2: August fifteenth or sixteenth in at the T Mobile Arena.
Speaker 2: I think that's what it's called. How about that? Okay,
Speaker 2: I'll give you a pair of tickets eight what's it called?
Speaker 2: Eight seven seventy five to eleven fifteen?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Do you think people are going to google that really
Speaker 3: fast and then try to find a way to sneak in?
Speaker 2: This is a prize for a good googler? You know,
Speaker 2: I don't know. Okay, all right, we're gonna take a break.
Speaker 3: And up your Google boxes.
Speaker 2: We take a break, and we're gonna come back and
Speaker 2: talk about all the all the movies I saw and
Speaker 2: which ones you should see, and who's winning the box
Speaker 2: office game, et cetera. After traffic Chilliscolante Live from Hollywood.
Speaker 2: WHOA Hollywood is so glamorous, isn't it?
Speaker 3: Sam yes, glitzy and glamour.
Speaker 2: Yes, I see starlits walking up the streets, down the boulevard,
Speaker 2: in the cafes, at the lunch counter. It's a dream
Speaker 2: out here.
Speaker 3: Okay, I feel so glamorous.
Speaker 2: Box office, the box office, millions of dollars, if not billions,
Speaker 2: are spent on glamorous Hollywood movies every week, Sam, And
Speaker 2: this week was no different. Number one at the box office.
Speaker 2: You may have guess, was just like last week Fantastic
Speaker 2: four First Steps. This comes from the Marvel Walt Disney organization,
Speaker 2: and it has collected one hundred and ninety eight American
Speaker 2: dollars so far at the box office. However, Sam, it's
Speaker 2: dropped off from the first week sixty six percent. Hmmm,
Speaker 2: that is uh, that's.
Speaker 3: Pretty rough considering it got pretty positive reviews. That is
Speaker 3: a pretty pretty drastic drop off. Yeah, they can't buy
Speaker 3: as much tensil now.
Speaker 2: Well, many critics, Sam. Critics are people who judge movies
Speaker 2: more than more than others. They say, it's, you know,
Speaker 2: the best cinematic take on this family yet. The film
Speaker 2: is praised for its confident tone. It's a retro futuristic
Speaker 2: nineteen sixties aesthetics and a narrative that drops viewers into
Speaker 2: a world where the team is already established. This approach
Speaker 2: largely sidesteps the typical origin story, which is usually the
Speaker 2: best story in a comic book thing. I mind, but
Speaker 2: they bypassed it just to be different. They use an
Speaker 2: in universe TV special to catch people up, which most
Speaker 2: see as a smart move. Did you see that as
Speaker 2: a smart move, Sam?
Speaker 3: I can see it as being a smart move for
Speaker 3: especially when you have a bunch of fans who have
Speaker 3: been disconnected from the universe for quite some time since
Speaker 3: Avengers happened.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's me. Yeah, I used to be in so
Speaker 2: into Marvel. Is your age, Sam? What are you ten?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Okay. When I was your age, I was subscribing to
Speaker 2: every Marvel newsletter. I was subscribed to Spider Man, and
Speaker 2: I went to the comic book store with all my
Speaker 2: money just spent on comic books. I went to comic
Speaker 2: book conventions. Over time, I got Marvel fatigue, and some
Speaker 2: people blame the drop off on superhero fatigue. But and
Speaker 2: I grew up and it just wasn't you know, comic books.
Speaker 2: I started reading you know, sophisticated things like Woody Allen books,
Speaker 2: and Mark Twain books and things like that, not Caro
Speaker 2: Whac and and and these kinds of things. Really, I
Speaker 2: wasn't a revolutionary but.
Speaker 3: Not so high brow kind of Hunter S.
Speaker 2: Thompson mid brow, yeah, Hunter S. Thompson. I read all
Speaker 2: his columns in the Herald Examiner, and I read all
Speaker 2: his books except for the ones that I didn't read.
Speaker 2: So the chemistry between these these stars on on Fantastic
Speaker 2: four pretty good. Vanessa Kirby and Pedro Pascal. Those are
Speaker 2: only two people that I knew. The other the other
Speaker 2: people Joseph Quinn and Eben Moss, Baccharac as Ben. Uh.
Speaker 2: I don't know who these people are, but Ben was
Speaker 2: great and Johnny was pretty good, and uh, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I just thought it was a great movie. And how
Speaker 2: many prompts with it? Did I fall asleep a part
Speaker 2: of it? Yeah, a little bit. But you know, these
Speaker 2: movies are just throwing buildings at each other for a while.
Speaker 2: You don't have to get that into it.
Speaker 3: And it's hot out and those seats are soft and comfortable,
Speaker 3: you have air conditioning. Of course, it's a nice place
Speaker 3: to knock out for a moment.
Speaker 2: The central conflict is with Galactus and the Silver Surfer. Yes,
Speaker 2: who somehow is the same girl from art from U
Speaker 2: from Ozark. I thought Silver Surfer was was a man,
Speaker 2: and I have I have a number one of Silver
Speaker 2: Surfer the comic book. A number one. Wow, number one.
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's worth, but if you call
Speaker 2: me and tell me what it's worth, maybe I'll give
Speaker 2: you some concert tickets. Okay, not me going to my
Speaker 2: phone the threat. Yeah, Gody from What's My Number one is?
Speaker 2: I don't think it's worth that much, but I certainly
Speaker 2: like having a number one. It's because I don't have
Speaker 2: a number one Spider Man, I certainly don't. Okay. So anyways,
Speaker 2: Galactus and Silver Surfer, you know, you got to receive
Speaker 2: the world from these these villains. But then their unborn son,
Speaker 2: Franklin is threatened, so now you got an emotional story
Speaker 2: along there. It's kind of a pro life Marvel movie,
Speaker 2: I would say the most pro life that has been
Speaker 2: because they show the baby in the womb, and obviously
Speaker 2: the young child after seeing Franklin in the womb, would
Speaker 2: never get an abortion because he sees the baby right
Speaker 2: in there. It's a real baby. So kudos to them
Speaker 2: for their Right to Life action film.
Speaker 3: About sixteen hundred bucks. No way, if it's in pretty
Speaker 3: decent condition and well capped.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's pretty good. I mean I keep it
Speaker 2: in my car on the dashboard. It's because I like
Speaker 2: to read it a lot.
Speaker 3: Oh, if it's an incredibly good condition, you could probably
Speaker 3: get something upwards of eight thousand bucks. M Yeah, like
Speaker 3: I mean spotless mint condition mm.
Speaker 2: Of anything like that. Yeah, I bet. I mean I've
Speaker 2: kept it in a plastic bag this whole time. Wow,
Speaker 2: stuffed away. Uh, that's pretty cool. Coodn'tws? He just made
Speaker 2: me feel better. Yeah, because every time I go look
Speaker 2: for what Now, if I go look into boxes for it,
Speaker 2: it's probably gonna be gone. Maybe because sometimes someone will
Speaker 2: go like, hey, oh this is the origin of the Punisher.
Speaker 2: It's an Spider Man, you know, sixty two or so.
Speaker 2: And I go look and I go, I know I
Speaker 2: have that because I read it and I had it,
Speaker 2: and then I'd go flok for it and it's gone.
Speaker 2: So but I no way, no one's taking my Silver Surfer.
Speaker 2: But anyway, Silver Surfer is a lady great actress, Julia Gardner.
Speaker 2: You know, as I said, the box office is great
Speaker 2: the first week, but then it dropped off. But you
Speaker 2: got to stay for the end, right.
Speaker 3: Sam, Always it's a Marvel movie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're showing some stuff at you. My wife will
Speaker 2: not leave before the end of any movie, he thinks.
Speaker 2: When when the movie's over, there's still something coming. She's
Speaker 2: gonna miss out. Yeah, okay, so uh that was That
Speaker 2: was one of the movies I saw this week, and
Speaker 2: I got time for another one. Yeah, I do. Next
Speaker 2: movie I saw is a little film called Quick Change.
Speaker 2: I saw this in the theater. You remember it, No,
Speaker 2: I do, not Bill Murray. He's a clown and he
Speaker 2: robs a bank. Now how old is this nineteen ninety okay,
Speaker 2: so uh, he's it's kind of a love hate letter
Speaker 2: to New York. It's uh. It starts with him robbing
Speaker 2: a bank and he's dressed like a clown, and then
Speaker 2: he lets one of the hostages out, and then he
Speaker 2: lets another one out, and then the but what these
Speaker 2: these hostages really take all the money and they hide
Speaker 2: it in their bodies, and he takes his clown makeup
Speaker 2: off and he becomes he and then he's the third hostage.
Speaker 2: It's let out and then they get away because they
Speaker 2: don't know that he's the clown. Yeah, and then he goes.
Speaker 2: Then the rest of it is just like how gross
Speaker 2: New York was in nineteen ninety and they tried to
Speaker 2: get on a plane anyway. This I was invited by
Speaker 2: a friend who rented out the screening room with the
Speaker 2: Soho Lounge here in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Talk about stars, Sam, Yeah, stars everywhere. So she rented
Speaker 2: it out for her birthday and she could show any
Speaker 2: movie in the world, and she chose. She chose Quick Change.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And she didn't tell anybody what movie we were
Speaker 2: going to watch. We sat down and there it came.
Speaker 3: That's pretty cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so pretty cool. So the plot I just kind
Speaker 2: of went over the plot of this thing. It was
Speaker 2: Bill Murray's directorial debut, and it was a box office flop.
Speaker 2: Sam really yeah, No one wanted to see it, But
Speaker 2: over time it's got kind of a cult following thanks
Speaker 2: to some memorable smaller rules by Stanley Tucci and Tony Shaohoub.
Speaker 2: Do you know him, Oh yeah, monk yeah, monk oh.
Speaker 2: He's great in this movie. Yeah, if just to see
Speaker 2: him in the movie. He plays like a uh Andy
Speaker 2: Kaufman character, a taxi driver that doesn't speak English. Pretty good.
Speaker 2: I mean it was just super fun. The perfect movie
Speaker 2: to watch.
Speaker 3: If you could rent out a giant spot like that
Speaker 3: and have a bunch of celebrity show up for your birthday,
Speaker 3: what movie would you screen? Deliverance, Deliverance, It's easy, not
Speaker 3: The Manitou.
Speaker 2: And not the worst movie on Earth, which we will
Speaker 2: talk about. Uh, I'd say the worst movie available to
Speaker 2: see today. I'm not gonna say what it is. I'm
Speaker 2: just gonna tease it it was. I'll just read my
Speaker 2: letterbox review for it and then and then you can
Speaker 2: guess what it is. Oh, where did it go? M
Speaker 2: This abortion seems like it was written by that guy
Speaker 2: who Sasha Baron Cohen took a comedy lesson from in
Speaker 2: the first Borat movie. Remember that guy he gave comedy
Speaker 2: lessons to Borat?
Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah, that guy.
Speaker 2: You say something and then you say.
Speaker 3: The guy who taught him a not joke?
Speaker 2: I like you not not? Yes, this movie was Perhaps
Speaker 2: it was written by that guy. I'll tell you what
Speaker 2: it is when we come back right here. Joe Scalante
Speaker 2: Live from Hollywood. Hey, Joe Scalante Live Hollywood, If by
Speaker 2: Hollyman you meet Holly. If by Hollywood you mean Burbank,
Speaker 2: Burbank not so glamorous.
Speaker 3: There's some glamour. I think I mean three AMC movie
Speaker 3: theaters within a block of each other.
Speaker 2: That's pretty good.
Speaker 3: That's not bad.
Speaker 2: Johnny Carson recording his show right down the Street four
Speaker 2: nights a week. That was pretty good. They stopped that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, he's okay. He I heard he had
Speaker 3: some issues with his wife.
Speaker 2: Oh, I teared up when he died. Johnny Carson one
Speaker 2: of the very fewish celebrities that that did that to me.
Speaker 3: Not many people had time.
Speaker 2: I watched you watched him every night, and my mom
Speaker 2: would just beg me to go to bed, and I
Speaker 2: just let me watch the monologue, just just the monologue,
Speaker 2: and then I would hope she would go away until
Speaker 2: I watch, you know, as much of it as possible
Speaker 2: and fall asleep on the floor in front of the
Speaker 2: TV set. That's why I'm so short, she said, thinking
Speaker 2: of sleep before midnight. She told me that you grow
Speaker 2: in the hours of sleep you get before midnight.
Speaker 3: That I didn't know.
Speaker 2: Well, I think that's what you say if you're trying
Speaker 2: to get your short kid to go to bed. Who
Speaker 2: wants to be in the NBA. Yeah, okay, so I'll
Speaker 2: read this review and you said you guess which movie
Speaker 2: I saw? Sam, Okay, here's my This is in my letterbox.
Speaker 2: If you want to get a tattooed on yourself, you
Speaker 2: could go there and get word for it. All right,
Speaker 2: This abortion seems like it was written by that guy
Speaker 2: who Sasha Baron Cohen took a comedy lesson from in
Speaker 2: the first Borat movie. Okay, do you have a guess.
Speaker 3: Of what movie it is?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I give a new movie.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm gonna take a shot. Okay, happy Gilmore two.
Speaker 3: Oh you must have seen it, then I've seen it. Wow,
Speaker 3: what a turn. I didn't feel quite as harshly as
Speaker 3: you did. At the same time, it wasn't. It's for
Speaker 3: these legacy films that we all thought would never have
Speaker 3: a sequel that like, over the last maybe ten years,
Speaker 3: we've seen an additional sequel out of them. Not many
Speaker 3: of them have been good. You had like Bill and Ted's,
Speaker 3: you had the Matrix, you had this one even coming
Speaker 3: to America too. There was a ton of these sequels
Speaker 3: of old legacy films that we remember from the eighties
Speaker 3: and nineties where they try to, you know, capitalize on
Speaker 3: the nostalgia of it, and it's Jude John. It's just
Speaker 3: it's just fan service. It's nothing. It's not supposed to
Speaker 3: at this point, anybody who has an expectation of these
Speaker 3: movies being good is going in just with way too
Speaker 3: high expectations.
Speaker 2: Well, I saw Godfather too, and that was sensational.
Speaker 3: That was sensation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I thought maybe this would be, you know,
Speaker 2: the same vibe. But it was just like, you know,
Speaker 2: bloated with stupid side plots and subplots, and they jumped
Speaker 2: between this family tragedy and some addiction storyline and then
Speaker 2: a new golf league rivalry, Like they're gonna make fun
Speaker 2: of of live golf. What live golf is? Like, that's
Speaker 2: not it's not anything so outrageous you make fun of it. Like,
Speaker 2: why would Happy Gilmour not be in the live golf side?
Speaker 2: Why would he be in the corporate golf side. He's
Speaker 2: sticking up for the corporate golf. And here's another thing.
Speaker 2: What is he wearing on the golf course.
Speaker 3: His usual garb?
Speaker 2: It looks terrible. Okay, he's an old man and he
Speaker 2: looks terrible in those clothes. There's are unflattering clothes, and
Speaker 2: so he decided maybe in the first movie that was something,
Speaker 2: But in the second movie, he's gonna wear clothes that
Speaker 2: he wore twenty years earlier and look bad on him,
Speaker 2: then look really bad on him now. And I got
Speaker 2: to watch this. It's like watching a movie where the
Speaker 2: characters are ugly, or like the movie Wicked, where the
Speaker 2: chorus was ugly and they made me watch ugly people
Speaker 2: in the chorus. I've got to watch him in these
Speaker 2: horrible clothing choices. And there's no golf technique that you
Speaker 2: can like look at, because there's a lot of beauty
Speaker 2: in a good golf swing. There's no beauty in this movie.
Speaker 2: His family is stupid, the jokes are dumb. It's I
Speaker 2: would say, the original Happy gil More. I I remember,
Speaker 2: I remember right where I was when I watched it.
Speaker 2: I was on an airplane and I was on my
Speaker 2: way home from Europe, and I put it and it
Speaker 2: was playing on the plane, you know, when everyone had
Speaker 2: to watch the same movie, and and but the flight
Speaker 2: was so long, nobody nobody was up and I was
Speaker 2: watching it. I was laughing out loud, just disturbing everybody.
Speaker 2: And I'm looking around to see who else is watching this,
Speaker 2: and I see one guy way across the jumbo jet,
Speaker 2: and I go, are you seeing this? Are you seeing
Speaker 2: how funny this is? And he's going, yeah, I am
Speaker 2: seeing this. And it was a it was a it
Speaker 2: was a moment. It wasn't a mile high club moment, but.
Speaker 3: It was a half mile high club.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Maybe it was you got off by yourself a little.
Speaker 2: We both enjoyed it together. But this movie it really suffers,
Speaker 2: I think from he has this deal with Netflix and
Speaker 2: it's like an output deal where he nobody's giving him
Speaker 2: notes and saying this joke is old, this joke is stupid,
Speaker 2: this joke doesn't really hit, doesn't land or whatever these
Speaker 2: people say, and nobody. Everybody's just saying, that's perfect, mister Sandler.
Speaker 2: Everything's good. This is a great movie. You would know
Speaker 2: you're the guy. It's awful. And he needs young people,
Speaker 2: is what he needs. Young new kind of comedy, people
Speaker 2: that are brighter than whatever. Like I said, the guy
Speaker 2: who the guy in the bar at movie where he
Speaker 2: gave comedy lessons and he said, like to do comedy,
Speaker 2: you might say, like I like your clothes, not that
Speaker 2: was that was a guy who would would think these
Speaker 2: jokes are probably wouldn't thinky're funny. You think they're service
Speaker 2: a book. And here's another one. I wrote, another one,
Speaker 2: I wrote another one. They're awful. Cameos are awful, Adam
Speaker 2: Sandler is.
Speaker 3: Just there was one good cameo. What was the son
Speaker 3: of the of Jaws?
Speaker 2: Oh, that's that's who that was. Yeah, yeah, he was cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was the guy who played Jobs.
Speaker 2: The son of Jaws looks like that.
Speaker 3: I'm getting that looked like him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it looked like Jows.
Speaker 3: Yeah, totally. Yeah, Okay, I felt like that was the
Speaker 3: best part of the entire film.
Speaker 2: Quite frankly, I'll give you that. I'd say that, I
Speaker 2: would say, but I never laughed out loud or went
Speaker 2: like oh, I just like, yeah, that's kind of that's funny,
Speaker 2: that's funny. Maybe two or three times, but never laughed
Speaker 2: out loud like I did in the original. So just
Speaker 2: just uh.
Speaker 3: Do you feel like you went in with the expectations
Speaker 3: too high?
Speaker 2: Maybe? Yeah, I thought it would be funny. That guy
Speaker 2: he's still a capable of Okay, is is happy Gilmour
Speaker 2: the one where he's in the I don't know, I
Speaker 2: don't remember. It's the same movie where Adam Sandler is, uh,
Speaker 2: he's like having love problems, and then the the someone
Speaker 2: rings the doorbell downstairs, it's that Asian girl. And then
Speaker 2: and then she got the wrong number. And then the
Speaker 2: next scene they see you show her leaving his apartment
Speaker 2: with with one of his T shirts or something like that.
Speaker 2: Do you remember that scene?
Speaker 3: I think so it might be that one that's sounds
Speaker 3: like just about anyone. It might be Building Madison that.
Speaker 2: That was anyway, so that kind of joke. Yeah, it
Speaker 2: is like brilliant. There's no brilliance in this so I
Speaker 2: it's it's way, it's it's it's just just it's an abortion. Okay,
Speaker 2: let's go to another film that I didn't make it through.
Speaker 2: I have a good movie that I recommend to you
Speaker 2: that I saw this morning at nine am at the
Speaker 2: Belaitarra in Cinema Theater at the Cinemak Belatara in Huntington Beach.
Speaker 2: Good one nine am screening this morning, A great one.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'll tell you about it in the next segment.
Speaker 2: This is a movie that you're gonna want to see.
Speaker 2: But in the Netflix Netflix Flicks world. I wonder what, uh,
Speaker 2: how how many minutes would you guess I got through
Speaker 2: the Billy Joel documentary before I changed the channel. Let's
Speaker 2: take a guess.
Speaker 3: Seven and a half?
Speaker 2: Pretty close? Nine?
Speaker 3: Wow?
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I mean, I just don't care. It seemed
Speaker 2: like a commercial for himself rather than the documentary. I'd
Speaker 2: rather watch a Billy Joe video about Green Day or
Speaker 2: or heck, I'd rather watch a Benji and Joel documentary
Speaker 2: about Good Charlotte. This was just insufferable and it's two parts.
Speaker 2: I got nine minutes. I was out. Do you see
Speaker 2: any of it? No, where'd you grow up?
Speaker 3: I grew up out here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's if you grew up back East,
Speaker 2: you might go that's Billy Joel.
Speaker 3: That's the thing outside of New York. I know there's
Speaker 3: a lot of He had some very good songs, not
Speaker 3: gonna complain, not gonna diminish him at all. But I never,
Speaker 3: as a guy who goes to karaoke pretty frequently, I
Speaker 3: never really got up for anybody singing Billy Joel's songs
Speaker 3: because they just never were that great to me. If
Speaker 3: you're from New York. Now, the people who I know
Speaker 3: who are transplants from New York. They live and die
Speaker 3: by that dude, and I get it at the same time. Okay,
Speaker 3: you know he's a piano man, very good but not thrilling,
Speaker 3: but nice.
Speaker 2: It just can't it just like it just had the
Speaker 2: wrong tongue to me. Yeah, it was like it was like.
Speaker 3: Was it slurping up to him a little bit too much?
Speaker 2: It was him?
Speaker 3: It was just him.
Speaker 2: When I was a kid, I worked in the oyster boats. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it looked I wanted to. Uh. I used to look
Speaker 2: up this mansion and say, what kind of a jerk,
Speaker 2: rich jerk would live in it, that mansion? And then
Speaker 2: now I live in that mansion. I'm a rich jerk
Speaker 2: and it's not done yet, but because it's got scaffolding,
Speaker 2: but either am I? Oh oh? And then you show
Speaker 2: him like, you know, in a silhouette, like just like pensively, what.
Speaker 3: Would be a good documentary that of that that of
Speaker 3: that nature like uh, one where it's a musician or
Speaker 3: an artist performer of some sort where it really gets
Speaker 3: it right.
Speaker 2: It's a good question.
Speaker 3: Do you want to go to break and ponder?
Speaker 2: It's a break. We'll give you ten of them, all right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I would know. I didn't watch the whole thing. What
Speaker 2: do I know?
Speaker 3: You only got through nine minutes of it.
Speaker 2: M okay, Joe Ascalante Live from Hollywood, all right. I
Speaker 2: can't think of any documentaries that that that I like,
Speaker 2: that are comparable to that to this Billy Joel thing
Speaker 2: that I didn't like? Was it Whitney Houston one came
Speaker 2: out a while ago. It was pretty good, I guess,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 3: I mean, they have ones about bands like Annville and
Speaker 3: the such that.
Speaker 2: Are very good, and the one is really good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but about individual artists, I'm not sure if there's
Speaker 3: any really great documentaries out there that you know, aren't
Speaker 3: like just completely slurping up to the performer, or aren't
Speaker 3: complete hatchet jobs.
Speaker 2: I know I'm thinking of some, and by the end
Speaker 2: of the show I'll have some. I'll at least one recommendation.
Speaker 2: But we'll speaking of singers with there's a bio pick
Speaker 2: on Michael Jackson that's finally going to come out, said
Speaker 2: to hit Theaters and Imax on April twenty fourth, twenty
Speaker 2: twenty six. It's delayed a release as because of we
Speaker 2: talked about this one time before, but then this is like,
Speaker 2: now we have a date April twenty four, twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2: It was. It's so confusing to me because it was
Speaker 2: delayed because they used a bunch of They had a
Speaker 2: storyline about this kid that sued Michael Jackson for molesting him.
Speaker 2: And the kid who plays Michael Jackson is Michael Jackson's nephew.
Speaker 2: Did you know that. Yeah, in the movie, Jaffar is
Speaker 2: the guy who is always harassing Aladdin.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so his his nephew is Jaffar.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the guy who's always harassing Aladdin, exact precisely.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, so they used they used the storyline of
Speaker 2: that kid. This is what the excuse are give. Now
Speaker 2: we have to reshoot the whole thing or a big
Speaker 2: good part of it because we can't use the story
Speaker 2: of that guy suing Michael Jackson. So it's weird that
Speaker 2: they would even include that if it's obviously it's controlled
Speaker 2: by the Jackson family, if the guy that harasses Aladdin
Speaker 2: is starring in it.
Speaker 3: So they don't want to have the story of the
Speaker 3: of the lawsuit. It's not that they don't want to
Speaker 3: have the story of the incident, it's of the lawsuit
Speaker 3: that they don't want to have in there.
Speaker 2: They just don't want any of the action scenes. Ah,
Speaker 2: I don't have. The kid had a deal, like I
Speaker 2: think he got paid off and they said, I don't
Speaker 2: want you to tell I don't want you to talk
Speaker 2: about this in any I want to leave me out
Speaker 2: of it. He just wants to go his separate way.
Speaker 2: And somehow someone wrote this movie and included that in it.
Speaker 2: I just don't understand why that would end up in
Speaker 2: it anyway, but that's what did it. And then they
Speaker 2: found out they were going to get sued and that
Speaker 2: guy Jordie was going to have a second crack at
Speaker 2: Michael Jackson's fortune. Okay, now, did you ever read the book? No,
Speaker 2: the kid wrote, no, I didn't. Well I did, really.
Speaker 3: Let me give you a book right book you right now,
Speaker 3: because I'm actually quite intrigued by this whole thing.
Speaker 2: Could not put it down. It was it was so compelling,
Speaker 2: and it was banished from all book distributors. The only
Speaker 2: place you could get it was at Circus of Books
Speaker 2: in West Hollywood, which is like a gay bookstore where
Speaker 2: a lot of weird shit goes on. And if you're
Speaker 2: a young kid like I was, I had to go.
Speaker 2: I had to go and find that book, and I
Speaker 2: got it, and then everybody wanted to borrow it from me.
Speaker 2: No one wanted to go the homophobes that I grew
Speaker 2: up around in Orange County, they didn't want to go
Speaker 2: in there. I didn't care. Right in there, right in there.
Speaker 3: And came out with every bit of your equipment in tact.
Speaker 2: I came out with the book, a couple of phone numbers,
Speaker 2: and a couple job offers. So all right, we're gonna
Speaker 2: get to Michael jackson biopic with Ja'afar does Jaffartan you
Speaker 2: still have that like go tee and that is that
Speaker 2: Arab outfit?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess they're going to have a couple of
Speaker 3: scenes at least with Ali Ababwa just to what about
Speaker 3: a parrot? Yeah, they have, you know, Unfortunately Gilbert Gottfried's
Speaker 3: not around to do.
Speaker 2: The huh that's said? He was a hero.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a legend, legend.
Speaker 2: I made a deal for him once at CBS and
Speaker 2: I had to I had to drive him somewhere afterwards.
Speaker 2: Remember that, that was like the biggest thrill of my
Speaker 2: executive life at the network.
Speaker 3: One of the best like comedy roasters that I've ever
Speaker 3: seen in my life. The guy is just blisteringly funny.
Speaker 2: Who can take over for him? But speaking of parrots,
Speaker 2: my parent can now say what you're talking about. He
Speaker 2: just picked that up. It's hard to teach your parent
Speaker 2: to say specific stuff. They can pick up things like
Speaker 2: you know here and there, and you don't want them
Speaker 2: to say you don't care like he goes. Who tell
Speaker 2: you that you got it from TV or something. I
Speaker 2: guess birds are born with it. I don't know. But
Speaker 2: he's what you're talking about. Now, Maybe that's where we
Speaker 2: got it from. Maybe what you're talking about willis is next.
Speaker 2: But I'm going in in you know, steps, because you
Speaker 2: want when you open up your door and you come
Speaker 2: home from a long day of word, you want to
Speaker 2: hear a bird say what you're talking about? Willis?
Speaker 3: What are the catchphrases? Are you trying to teach the bird?
Speaker 2: Hey? That's a oh well the one rhyme right now
Speaker 2: that I'm astered that This next one is not today, Karen.
Speaker 3: Not today Karen. Yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good one. I'm not gonna murder you.
Speaker 2: It's another one that's gonna be hard.
Speaker 3: That's gonna be a good one to teach, especially like
Speaker 3: late at night.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but at night he says good night, and he
Speaker 2: wants the blanket to be put around his cage. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he wants to go to bed. He tells you, Yeah,
Speaker 2: in the morning, I'm not going to murder you in
Speaker 2: the morning, in your sleep. In the morning, he says,
Speaker 2: good morning. That's a good Burdo, the best bird. So, uh,
Speaker 2: all right, if you don't get me started on my part,
Speaker 2: I'll talk about him all day long. Uh you ever
Speaker 2: hear a Soldier Boy?
Speaker 3: Yes, I have. He's had a couple of interesting moments
Speaker 3: as a video game aficionado. He's had some moments of controversy.
Speaker 3: But please go ahead.
Speaker 2: Well, his real name is DeAndre Cortes. Way, you never
Speaker 2: want your real name posted an article because it usually
Speaker 2: means you were arrested. That's why no one knows my
Speaker 2: real name. I've never been arrested. Soldier Boy. Joe Ascalante
Speaker 2: is my my DJ name. You know my radio name. Yeah,
Speaker 2: my real name is the Goblin, but I had to
Speaker 2: change it for radio. Okay. So, Soldier Boy was arrested
Speaker 2: Sunday morning this morning in Los Angeles on felony weapons charge.
Speaker 2: The arrest occurred after a traffic stop where police discovered
Speaker 2: a firearm in the vehicle he was a passenger in.
Speaker 2: Now do you think this was on his way to
Speaker 2: church at like eight am this morning when I was
Speaker 2: on my way to church, or was it at four am?
Speaker 2: On his way home from the cloud?
Speaker 3: I would say he's a good church going man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is Sunday morning. Because of a prior felony conviction,
Speaker 2: he's a bad boy. He is not legally allowed to
Speaker 2: possess a firearm.
Speaker 3: Ooh, this is.
Speaker 2: Not his first run in with the law on this issue.
Speaker 2: He previously faced weapons charges in twenty sixteen. Well, he
Speaker 2: must have a lot of enemies. This arrest comes on
Speaker 2: the heels of a particularly difficult year for the rapper.
Speaker 2: In April, a jury found him libel for a number
Speaker 2: of civil claims, including sexual battery and assault, in a
Speaker 2: lawsuit filed by a former assistant. Wow, she used to
Speaker 2: help him and then he started assaulting her and sexually
Speaker 2: battering her.
Speaker 3: That's not nice, that's not good at all.
Speaker 2: No, he was ordered to pay the woman more than
Speaker 2: four million dollars. Can you imagine that? I mean, I'm
Speaker 2: sure she wouldn't trade that four million dollars for whatever
Speaker 2: happened to her, And I'm sure it was terrible, But
Speaker 2: how do you think the assistant to Soldier Boy's life
Speaker 2: was changed when she got four million dollars?
Speaker 3: Yeah, not an equal payout. It was Soldier Boy.
Speaker 2: Now, probably forty percent of that went to her lawyers,
Speaker 2: and they probably deserved about four percent of it. His
Speaker 2: legal team at the time said they would fight the verdict.
Speaker 2: As of now, representative for Soldier Boy has not comment
Speaker 2: on the new arrest, and it's unclear what led to
Speaker 2: the traffic stop. I bet it was swerving. He was
Speaker 2: booked into jail on a felony charge. So what is
Speaker 2: he famous for? Soldier Boy?
Speaker 3: Ah, he did crank that. That was his song and
Speaker 3: it had a dance associated with that one that went
Speaker 3: viral back in the day, and so everybody would do
Speaker 3: the Soldier Cranked that, Soldier Boy, Superman whatever it was
Speaker 3: that Yeah. Yeah, But for him, he also had this
Speaker 3: weird thing like he wanted to like he viewed himself
Speaker 3: as being more of a you know, media mogul, and
Speaker 3: he wanted to try to get into the video game market,
Speaker 3: and he was trying to sell these video game consoles
Speaker 3: that he branded with his name and everything, but they
Speaker 3: were just like really cheaply created manufactured emulation consoles where
Speaker 3: basically you can just get the software for free online
Speaker 3: and play all these old school games and you see
Speaker 3: the app advertisements for them all over the.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, buy this thing and it comes with
Speaker 2: forty old school games.
Speaker 3: Yeah, or it has even more, like they'll have thousands
Speaker 3: of old school games because those old school games took
Speaker 3: up such little tiny room on data, so they could
Speaker 3: just like pile a ton of them on there. And
Speaker 3: so yeah, he got known for basically trying to scam
Speaker 3: people with the video game console.
Speaker 2: He'd make a box he sold Your Boys retro game.
Speaker 3: Box, overcharging for it hundreds of dollars, and it was
Speaker 3: it was stuff that you could get the equivalent for
Speaker 3: I had.
Speaker 2: The customer service was terrible on that.
Speaker 3: I don't think. I don't know how, because.
Speaker 2: You just brandish a firearm when you complained about it.
Speaker 3: He assues you if you complain. His complaints department is
Speaker 3: a lawsuit lawyer just starts not filing lawsuits against everybody.
Speaker 2: Is that true?
Speaker 3: Ah? Yeah, he's very litigious.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I got some WNBA news coming up in
Speaker 2: the next it's so funny. I mean, it's not funny,
Speaker 2: it's terrible, but it's you know, it is what it is.
Speaker 2: It is what it is. We'll talk about it and
Speaker 2: then I'll tell you and the next hour, I promise
Speaker 2: I'm gonn tell you the great movie that I saw
Speaker 2: that I going to recommend to you. Joe Scalante Live
Speaker 2: from Hollywood. Joe Scalante Live from Hollywood. If by Hollywood
Speaker 2: you mean Burbank. All right, this is two hours of
Speaker 2: the business end of show business. We're an hour number
Speaker 2: two for this evening, and we were talking in the
Speaker 2: last hour about the first of all, I'm going to
Speaker 2: tell you the movie that I recommend that you're gonna
Speaker 2: want to see that I saw at nine am this
Speaker 2: morning in the theater. It's important, it was. But we
Speaker 2: earlier we were talking about how I couldn't get through
Speaker 2: the Billy Joel documentary and I texted my friend, very
Speaker 2: close advisor, uh and And, who contributes a lot to
Speaker 2: this this show as well. He's always looking for stories
Speaker 2: for me, and I asked him, I go. I told him,
Speaker 2: I go. I couldn't get through nine minutes of it,
Speaker 2: and he said he didn't get past one minute.
Speaker 3: It was that bad.
Speaker 2: He also grew up out here on the West coast,
Speaker 2: so maybe that has something to do with it. So
Speaker 2: then you said, well, what are some good documentaries that I.
Speaker 3: Might Yeah, ones that got it right.
Speaker 2: I think the there's a couple. I'm gonna say, the
Speaker 2: one I can without a doubt recommend is called The
Speaker 2: Devil and Daniel Johnston, about the singer Daniel Johnston. He
Speaker 2: is a guy. He was born in California and he
Speaker 2: was his Oh this is where you might have heard
Speaker 2: of him. His cult status was propelled when Kurt Cobain
Speaker 2: was seen wearing a Daniel Johnston T shirt. Bat t
Speaker 2: shirt you can probably get at Urban Outfitters now and
Speaker 2: it's probably made him one million dollars. It's possible. So
Speaker 2: Daniel Johnson, you can play little Daniel Johnston music. You
Speaker 2: have it queued out. He's trouble, He's a troubled mind.
Speaker 3: True love will find you in the end. You'll find
Speaker 3: out just too with your friend.
Speaker 2: Okay, So if you if you want to look at
Speaker 2: this documentary, it is playing on Amazon Video right now.
Speaker 2: You got to rent it, but you can actually you
Speaker 2: can stream it free on Prime Video and it's it's, it's, it's,
Speaker 2: it's so it's so good. I mean, I just think
Speaker 2: it's God. He's a guy. He's a guy who I
Speaker 2: followed his career. I actually went to see him a
Speaker 2: couple of times. And uh, he's still alive. Yeah, A
Speaker 2: lot of like people compare him to Wesley Willis. Wesley Willis,
Speaker 2: who I don't believe is alive. But there's a documentary
Speaker 2: about Wesley Willis also, and I would say that is
Speaker 2: a documentary that got it right now. The documentary Hated
Speaker 2: featuring about g. G Allen, I'd say's another one. But
Speaker 2: these are like, these are niche, weirdo documentaries that no
Speaker 2: one wants to see. The New York Dolls one that
Speaker 2: like had the bass player who was ended up working
Speaker 2: at the Mormon genealogy Library. That was a good one.
Speaker 2: But I don't know, maybe the Billy Joe one gets
Speaker 2: good Billy Joel. I don't know, I don't know. It's
Speaker 2: like two parts. Can't I couldn't take it. Okay, So
Speaker 2: the movie I saw it was very good and I
Speaker 2: can recommend is called Architecton.
Speaker 3: Architecton. Yes, it sounds like a transformer, A little bit
Speaker 3: like that build cities.
Speaker 2: Yeah, or the Integratron, which is the name of the
Speaker 2: episode I wrote for Ancient Aliens. If you ever, if
Speaker 2: you're gonna see one Ancient Aliens episode, you should see
Speaker 2: the one about the Integratron because it's written by Joe's quante.
Speaker 3: Is it a gigantic machine that makes Acura integros.
Speaker 2: No, it can communicates with other worlds, and it's still
Speaker 2: sitting in Landers, California out there near Joshua Tree. You
Speaker 2: can go there now. Some ladies on it and they
Speaker 2: give like sound baths and yoga, but it's not what
Speaker 2: it was made for. I also did an episode on
Speaker 2: it and for my Fox Nation series Alien Abductions with
Speaker 2: Abby Hornisack, which can also still be seen on the
Speaker 2: Fox Nation app, which is probably down to like ninety
Speaker 2: nine cents by now to subscribe to that thing. Okayech
Speaker 2: Architecton saw it at nine am this morning at the
Speaker 2: Belitari Mall, the cinemak there. It's from A twenty four,
Speaker 2: so we know it's legit and it's less a story.
Speaker 2: It's less like about a story and it's more about
Speaker 2: a feeling. I would say it's for people who appreciate
Speaker 2: more artistic and contemplative approaches to filmmaking. Here's my review
Speaker 2: in letterboxed. You can if you want a tattooed on
Speaker 2: your back, you can go and get it there.
Speaker 3: I need the QR code so I can get that tattooed.
Speaker 2: It's so it's a film about architecture and the legacy
Speaker 2: that it leaves. Do you want to see a film
Speaker 2: that will make you think all day long and impact
Speaker 2: you for a long time and even maybe compel you
Speaker 2: to contemplate life itself. Or do you want to see
Speaker 2: Happy Gilmore too?
Speaker 3: That's what Happy Gillmore I was.
Speaker 2: Choice is yours? Some people call it a show don't
Speaker 2: Tell documentary. It's from this director named Victor Kosakovski, known
Speaker 2: for his critically acclaimed film called Gunda, which is about
Speaker 2: like pigs and ducks and stuff like that in a farm.
Speaker 2: And it's just like the cinematography is like over the
Speaker 2: top and you're just you're in this You're in this world.
Speaker 2: You're immersed in this world. And in this film, it's
Speaker 2: most mainly rock quarries and bombed out buildings in the Ukraine,
Speaker 2: buildings that have been destroyed by architects and by earthquakes,
Speaker 2: and Turkey, and then Old Ruins and Lebanon Roman ruins.
Speaker 3: With a focus on ferrets. No, come on some kind
Speaker 3: of animals.
Speaker 2: It's largely like wordless. It's like a meditation on the
Speaker 2: relationship between like humanity, nature and materials we used to
Speaker 2: build interesting. It's an immersive sensory experience, so make sure
Speaker 2: you see it in the theater. He uses like the
Speaker 2: stunning powerful images to make points rather than relying on narration.
Speaker 2: You're just saying you're having to put this story together,
Speaker 2: and by the end, then at the end they give you,
Speaker 2: they do your favor and the director comes out and
Speaker 2: tells you what it was on.
Speaker 3: See. Well, no, and I can appreciate stuff like that
Speaker 3: because there's so many documentaries and films that are focused
Speaker 3: and rely so much on talking head interviews to express
Speaker 3: points and narrations.
Speaker 2: A lot of films now they go, let's not have
Speaker 2: a narrator, let's have the scenes kind of just just
Speaker 2: tell the story and talk to each other and play
Speaker 2: off each other. Yeah, there's a different all the different theories,
Speaker 2: but this guy just says, I'm going to make you
Speaker 2: figure out what this film's about and what I'm trying
Speaker 2: to say, and it could take you a couple hours,
Speaker 2: but when you get it, it's going to hit you
Speaker 2: over the head. And it's centered around the contrast between ancient,
Speaker 2: lasting stone architecture and the modern ephemeral nature of concrete.
Speaker 2: This is basically what it's about, stone versus concrete. I
Speaker 2: never even thought about that, a stone versus concrete crete
Speaker 2: until I started building my own house, which I'm building
Speaker 2: in the desert right now at that Cootino place, And
Speaker 2: you know, the materials that we have to choose and
Speaker 2: stuff like that. This is a town built around an
Speaker 2: artificial lagoon and an artificial beaches, So I'm not that
Speaker 2: worried about building a lasting legacy. But this movie asked
Speaker 2: the question, what we know how to build buildings that
Speaker 2: will last one thousand years. We know how to do it.
Speaker 2: People two thousand years ago knew how to do it.
Speaker 2: Why do we insist on building the structures that only
Speaker 2: last forty to fifty years? Why do we do it?
Speaker 2: It's a good question. One of the reasons I've always
Speaker 2: told I figured this out. I thought when I was
Speaker 2: pretty young, the first time I toured around Europe and
Speaker 2: I looked at all the marvelous cathedrals and stuff. And
Speaker 2: then I go, I think I got it. Why don't
Speaker 2: we do this anymore because we don't have slaves anymore.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm sure if we had people, normal people that
Speaker 3: are building homes and houses and stuff like that, could
Speaker 3: build with the same materials. They're just look for the
Speaker 3: more economical way of getting it done.
Speaker 2: Well, because but if you had slaves and legions of them,
Speaker 2: you could build. It would be cost effective to build
Speaker 2: giant monuments. But we don't have them anymore. It's frowned upon.
Speaker 2: So we have to use We have to pay people
Speaker 2: for all their labor, and then we have unions making
Speaker 2: sure they have a good lifestyle and have a living wage.
Speaker 2: I'm all for it, but one of the things there's
Speaker 2: a price to pay for giving up the the slavery
Speaker 2: that we had in that built the Great Egyptian Tombs.
Speaker 2: I mean, do you think anyone signed up and got
Speaker 2: a living wage for that and got benefits and dental.
Speaker 3: They were sayings that they actually took pretty decent care
Speaker 3: of them, But it's hard to say that slaves were
Speaker 3: well taken care of.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, that's why we had to cancel that
Speaker 2: Zippity DooDah movie Song of the South, because they we
Speaker 2: portrayed those those those slaves were well cared for, but
Speaker 2: one wanted to. I mean, arguably that was the that
Speaker 2: was too much of that. But that's my theory. So
Speaker 2: this movie architect Ton still in theaters. It's usually playing
Speaker 2: early in the day, as you can see. You know,
Speaker 2: eight in the morning, nine in the morning, you're I
Speaker 2: was the only guy in the theater. You know how
Speaker 2: sometimes you're like the only guy in the theater and
Speaker 2: then but then someone walks in. You go, oh, was
Speaker 2: that always happens? I'm the only guy here or my
Speaker 2: wife and I really the only people here, and then
Speaker 2: someone walks in this No one walked in, just the
Speaker 2: guy to check on you, to see if I was
Speaker 2: filming the movie or something.
Speaker 3: Yeah. See, I like movie. I like being in theaters
Speaker 3: that are less crowded. I don't I don't mind being
Speaker 3: I like I don't mind being in crowded theaters because
Speaker 3: at that point when something exciting happens in the movie,
Speaker 3: you do get that extra bit of a rush from
Speaker 3: the audience. At the same time, I enjoy movies that
Speaker 3: are not crowded.
Speaker 2: I wish this film was crowd. I wish everyone could
Speaker 2: got to see what I saw this morning when I
Speaker 2: watched architectn And I've been thinking about it all day,
Speaker 2: about buildings, especially as I'm building a house and I'm
Speaker 2: just a part of me is a little embarrassed how
Speaker 2: I'm constructing this house out of manufactured crapola. But you
Speaker 2: know what, I'll be dead before it falls over.
Speaker 3: Not marble from the Carpathian Mountains.
Speaker 2: It's a little bit like in the you know, the
Speaker 2: the island in the kitchen. It's massive and it's you know,
Speaker 2: just now being dragged over here by traffic. Children. It's
Speaker 2: actually made up children.
Speaker 3: Speaking of traffic.
Speaker 2: Let's check the traffic. Sam Joe'scalante Life from Hollywood. Joe Scalante,
Speaker 2: Live from Hollywood, by Hollywood, you meet Burbank. This is
Speaker 2: two hours of the business, end of show business. We
Speaker 2: do this every Sunday from five to seven on radio
Speaker 2: station k e IB in Los Angeles. As you're driving
Speaker 2: around and you're convertible talking to your agent here in Hollywood.
Speaker 2: That's mostly I hear this like sometimes to people tell
Speaker 2: me they hear this radio show coming out of convertibles.
Speaker 2: Up and down. Sunset boulevard.
Speaker 3: Yeah, up and down p H for sure.
Speaker 2: Oh it's Highway one O one.
Speaker 3: It's sunset on a Sunday evening listening. You need that
Speaker 3: sunset going over the Pacific for you to get the
Speaker 3: full effect of Joe Escalante.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you. Here's another reason to watch the g
Speaker 2: g Allen documentary. Hated Gigion was a guy who was
Speaker 2: a you know, crazy punk rock singer. He might have
Speaker 2: seen him on like Sally Jesse Rafael or Jerry Springer
Speaker 2: or something like that. He would go on there and
Speaker 2: shock everybody. I'm so punk and he would like throw
Speaker 2: feces at the audience. He tried to poop on his
Speaker 2: hand and throw it at everybody. So I never saw
Speaker 2: him because I'm not going to that. Not going.
Speaker 3: You could show up like how people showed up at
Speaker 3: Gallagher shows like we're in a full tarp.
Speaker 2: Oh let me tell you the Gallagher show in England
Speaker 2: recently didn't go so well. And we'll get to that
Speaker 2: the other Gallaghers. Okay, well, I'm telling you there's some
Speaker 2: we have some Gallagher news about and Gallagher two. Okay.
Speaker 2: So the director of the gig Allen film is Todd Phillips. Okay,
Speaker 2: Todd Phillips. You might remember him as the director of
Speaker 2: Old School Y. Yeah. How about The Hangover?
Speaker 3: Eh?
Speaker 2: The guy who directed The Hangover directs a documentary about
Speaker 2: a punk rock singer who throws poop on people in
Speaker 2: the audience. You got to see it.
Speaker 3: Of course.
Speaker 2: He has some good songs dj Alan does. Whenever I DJ,
Speaker 2: I always play this one song called Don't Talk to Me.
Speaker 2: It's a great song. He also directed The twenty nineteen
Speaker 2: Joker and the twenty four Joker, Folly Eddy and so Yeah,
Speaker 2: you might want to It's a little bit different now,
Speaker 2: isn't it. Yeah, And he directed something called The Billy Joe. No, no,
Speaker 2: just no, he didn't. All right, is it time for
Speaker 2: a WNBA news?
Speaker 3: I guess yeah, Okay, I mean, you know it's all
Speaker 3: we always come at you with that hard hitting sports action.
Speaker 2: Okay. There's a wa NBA star named Satu Sabali. She's
Speaker 2: a ford for the Phoenix Mercury. She's been arrested. Can
Speaker 2: you believe this, Sam? I can't believe it for domestic violence.
Speaker 2: The incident involved her and her wife. However, there is
Speaker 2: no recent news detailing the specific charges or the outcome
Speaker 2: of the incident. News reports from a year ago indicate
Speaker 2: that the Las Vegas Aces guard Rackina Williams was accused
Speaker 2: of hitting and strangling her wife during an argument, which
Speaker 2: resulted in charges of domestic battery. The WNBA has a
Speaker 2: domestic violence policy that allows the league to conduct an
Speaker 2: investigation into any allegations. The Dallas Wings it's a weird
Speaker 2: name for a ladies team, okay, and the WNBA have
Speaker 2: not made any official statements at this time regarding Sabali situation.
Speaker 2: And in a related story, a game between the Golden
Speaker 2: State Valkyries and the Chicago Sky was paused this weekend
Speaker 2: in the third quarter when a green sex toy was
Speaker 2: thrown onto the court.
Speaker 3: This this is the second time that it's happened in
Speaker 3: the last week, folks.
Speaker 2: That is, yes, at a Valkyrie's game.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Now, I went to the sex toy conference about
Speaker 3: two weeks ago. I promise you this is there is
Speaker 3: no relation between these two things. I know I go
Speaker 3: to w NBA games. I know I go to sex
Speaker 3: toy conferences. This wasn't me. I promise you should be
Speaker 3: ashamed of yourself. I'm also going to plenty of reasons
Speaker 3: to be ashamed of my you should.
Speaker 2: Be ashamed of yourself for going to that, and also
Speaker 2: the sex toy thing, you should be ashamed of yourself
Speaker 2: for that too. So the incident drew mixed reactions. Some players,
Speaker 2: like Elizabeth Williams called it disrespectful. I could see throw
Speaker 2: one of these things and they're made a rubber so
Speaker 2: they bounce around and it's like while others like Camilla Cardoso,
Speaker 2: we're seeing laughing about.
Speaker 3: It because it's funny. At the same like, the thing is,
Speaker 3: I can understand why people like that. There's a tradition
Speaker 3: in one college somewhere out there in the United States
Speaker 3: where after the first basket, the entire crowd throws rolls
Speaker 3: of toilet paper on the crowd into onto the court.
Speaker 3: Ye now, peeping poo poo hermory can now. I could
Speaker 3: totally see this becoming a thing where after the first
Speaker 3: basket the entire crowd starts lobbing sex toys onto the court.
Speaker 2: The problem, Yeah, you'd have.
Speaker 3: To explain that to a lot of kids. Yeah, And
Speaker 3: that's where I'm like, Okay, it's funny. It's funny, funny
Speaker 3: except for until that moment, and even then, I don't
Speaker 3: mind it being a moment for parents to you know,
Speaker 3: educate and add context to it as best as they can.
Speaker 3: The problem is a lot of parents really don't want
Speaker 3: to do that.
Speaker 2: No, they and they should be given the choice. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but everyone's probably gonna start throwing them everywhere at those games.
Speaker 2: I don't well, I don't know. I mean, it could
Speaker 2: be a problem.
Speaker 3: It's only a problem if they missed the court and
Speaker 3: they short it and hit someone in the back of
Speaker 3: the head.
Speaker 2: Well then it's as Salt reminds me of the story
Speaker 2: once when when Dexter Holland, the singer of The Offspring,
Speaker 2: he signed my band to his record label. It was
Speaker 2: a really good deal. I mean, we got it. We
Speaker 2: quitter jobs, get to have a salary and all that
Speaker 2: kind of stuff. It was a rock and roll dream
Speaker 2: come true. And then at the first meeting he says, yeah,
Speaker 2: I saw you guys at this club called Night Moves,
Speaker 2: and at some point I got hit in the face
Speaker 2: with a sex toy. That where the starts with a D.
Speaker 2: I guess I don't really want to say it on
Speaker 2: my show, but I got hit in the face with
Speaker 2: one that came somehow your singer, your singer through it
Speaker 2: and he got hit in the face by it, and
Speaker 2: then we were a little embarrassed. So then we went
Speaker 2: on tour with them, and we opened at these abrenas
Speaker 2: all over the country, and on the last night, everyone
Speaker 2: plays a joke on the opening bands and we were
Speaker 2: hit by like fifty of them on stage while we're
Speaker 2: trying to perform. So I know what the w NBA
Speaker 2: is going through. Yes, it's humiliating, it is.
Speaker 3: It is so humiliating, but.
Speaker 2: Kind of funny. Nonetheless, hey, you.
Speaker 3: Should see some of the pictures I got from that.
Speaker 3: By the way, it's pretty entertaining.
Speaker 2: Now you can look at those dirty pictures all you want.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna oh, it's not dirty pictures. Yes, those
Speaker 2: are dirty pictures by definition, By definition, Harry, by definition,
Speaker 2: those are dirty pictures.
Speaker 3: I saw them apply the antibacterial stuff to them. They
Speaker 3: were very very clean. You did, yeah, of course they
Speaker 3: had to keep those products clean.
Speaker 2: It's gross, okay, you know. And now I'm in one
Speaker 2: of those situations where do I really want to go buy? Okay,
Speaker 2: what's the legal what do we learn legally from the
Speaker 2: from the sex toys getting thrown on the on the
Speaker 2: on the court?
Speaker 3: Is it assault if it hits you in the back
Speaker 3: of the had when you weren't when you were saying
Speaker 3: in the crowd and the guy's short arms the throw.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's definitely an assault. And also, uh, it's probably
Speaker 2: a you know, it's a violation of the rules throwing
Speaker 2: stuff on the court. You could be thrown out, absolutely,
Speaker 2: you could be thrown at. You could be charged, probably
Speaker 2: a misdemeanor charge from that, and then you could be shamed,
Speaker 2: and you could be banished from from ever going to
Speaker 2: a game again. And uh, but what if it came
Speaker 2: from one of the players.
Speaker 3: What it slipped out of the short leg or something, yeah.
Speaker 2: Or that you know, their gym bag. The trainer, that
Speaker 2: trainer has got like you know, hey, you need one
Speaker 2: of these. You know, you need to need a hyberprofen.
Speaker 3: That's an ivy profen these yeah, you know.
Speaker 2: And you know he's looking around like, hey, we need
Speaker 2: we need, we need some some tape to wrap whatever
Speaker 2: names Sabali's ankle. And then he's he's looking he's looking
Speaker 2: for the tape and that just things just flies out
Speaker 2: of the out of medical ban.
Speaker 3: Because every basketball trainer has one of those in their
Speaker 3: medical kits.
Speaker 2: Think they don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm sure alongside they do have tampons for nosebleeds. They
Speaker 3: do carry those as well, however, Yeah, no they do.
Speaker 3: I think have those two to help staunch and like cool,
Speaker 3: awesome swelling. I'm sure I have nothing to substantiate this.
Speaker 3: We should go to break all right.
Speaker 2: Uh, we still got a couple of segments left in
Speaker 2: this glorious program. Joe Scalante Live from Hollywood. When to
Speaker 2: come back?
Speaker 1: Uh?

Speaker 2: anticipated films are Freaky or Friday Sam Are you are
Speaker 2: you in for that?

Speaker 3: much because it was it the old parent trap or
Speaker 3: Freaky Friday Parent Trap.
Speaker 2: You know, body Body Switch kind of movies.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then but the the.
Speaker 2: The big movie that's getting the big push. When I
Speaker 2: went to the theater this morning, I got scared because
Speaker 2: they had all this promo for it is called Weapons.
Speaker 2: When all but one child from the same class mysteriously
Speaker 2: vanish on the same night at exactly the same time,
Speaker 2: a community is left questioning who or what is behind

Speaker 2: big one. It's called weapons. These are things that anticipated.
Speaker 2: Honey don't looks kind of good. Aubrey Plaza movie.
Speaker 3: Anything with Aubrey Plaza looks good.
Speaker 2: Though she's not even the star, but you know, but she's.
Speaker 3: She's in it.
Speaker 2: Okay, I got a couple of stories for you, Okay, okay.
Speaker 2: How much would you pay for the Sled from the
Speaker 2: movie Citizen Kane The Rosebud Sled. How much would you
Speaker 2: personally pay Sam. Considering you're a PhD candidate and you're
Speaker 2: working at a radio station, and you have a budget,
Speaker 2: you have kids to look after, how much would you
Speaker 2: like just kind of set us, justify setting aside.
Speaker 3: Just to have it forty five bucks?
Speaker 2: Forty five dollars some forty five bucks. Yeah, you're gonna
Speaker 2: come up short because the Rosebud sled from Orsonwell's nineteen
Speaker 2: forty one masterpiece Citizen Kane sold for a staggering fourteen
Speaker 2: points seventy five million.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: This makes it the second most expensive piece of movie
Speaker 2: memorabilia ever sold that auction, behind only what do you
Speaker 2: think was the other one?
Speaker 3: I have no idea.
Speaker 2: You're right, Dorothy's ruby slippers from the Wizard.
Speaker 3: Of Oz Okay, I can see that.
Speaker 2: Yeah. The sled was one of several props used in
Speaker 2: the film, and the only that sold for and the
Speaker 2: only the one that was miraculously saved from the studio
Speaker 2: dumpster in nineteen eighty four by director Joe Dante. The sled,
Speaker 2: a symbol of Charles Foster Kane's lost innocence, has a
Speaker 2: history almost as rich as the film. It's if the
Speaker 2: high priced tag is a testament to the enduring power
Speaker 2: and value of cinematic history fourteen point seven five million.
Speaker 3: Wow, what do you do with that?
Speaker 2: I take it to Big Bear, That's what I would do.
Speaker 3: What what do people do with all this memorabilia? Do
Speaker 3: they just like put it on display?
Speaker 2: You put it on your wall and he's a that's
Speaker 2: oh what's that? Oh that thing?
Speaker 3: Oh that was that's the banjo from Deliverance.
Speaker 2: Wow, I would pay fifteen million for that. Yeah, that's
Speaker 2: a really good movie memorabilia that I bet they don't
Speaker 2: even know where that is.
Speaker 3: I'm sure it's in somebody's closet somewhere. You know how
Speaker 3: they did gathering dust?
Speaker 2: Do you know how they did that scene?
Speaker 3: I don't want to know.
Speaker 2: Okay, they had the guy guy that looks like a bird,
Speaker 2: you know, and he's like obviously an appellationan inbread that
Speaker 2: looks you know, he's a symbol of the of the
Speaker 2: path in that movie, and he but a symbol of
Speaker 2: the culture and just what it's like to be an
Speaker 2: Appalachian and to live out there and be so isolated.
Speaker 2: So they have him, and they wanted him to play banjo.
Speaker 2: But I have an only that guy didn't play the banjo.
Speaker 2: So they put the banjo on his lap and they
Speaker 2: add some arms, sneak up behind him and play the
Speaker 2: banjo a little puppetry.
Speaker 3: Hmmm. Interesting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, next time you watch it, take a closer look.
Speaker 2: I've always wanted to play.
Speaker 3: The banjo from behind somebody.
Speaker 2: It would be a dream to be that guy. But
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know. I don't have the time.
Speaker 2: But if I had the time, I think that's where
Speaker 2: I would go. I'd go to I'd just sit down
Speaker 2: and go, honey, I'm sorry. I'm gonna learn the banjo,
Speaker 2: but thank you for bringing up that banjo, because you
Speaker 2: know I would like that Benjum when that when that
Speaker 2: movie came out. First of all, I saw I read
Speaker 2: the book before when the movie came out, because it
Speaker 2: was in the thrifty and I'm ten and I see
Speaker 2: them book in the thrifty and it says soon to
Speaker 2: be a major motion picture with Burt Reynolds. And I
Speaker 2: just seen Burt Reynolds in a bunch of movies, so
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm gonna buy this book. I'm gonna read it.
Speaker 2: Just be like my stepmother who always after every movie,
Speaker 2: She's like always saying oh the book was better. I'm like,
Speaker 2: where do you find out about these books and these movies?
Speaker 2: How do you read these books before the movie comes out?
Speaker 2: Is I'm only ten. I don't know how she does it.
Speaker 2: I thought she was a magic or a witch. Really,
Speaker 2: I thought she was a witch. So I thought it
Speaker 2: was some kind of witchcraft. And then I saw the
Speaker 2: book in thrifty said soon to be a major motion
Speaker 2: picture starring Burt Reynolds, So that's for me, and I
Speaker 2: bought it and I read it. Oh my god, horrified.
Speaker 2: And then I'm the worst is I'm at school at
Speaker 2: elementary school with it because it takes him a fast read. Right,
Speaker 2: I'm carrying this thing around me every day for fricking months.
Speaker 2: All Right, we have some defamation. Okay, how's your defamation
Speaker 2: theme song going?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, here, give me a second after to get up.
Speaker 2: Okay, you can sing it, you can sing it. Post story.
Speaker 2: This is a story about an NFL Hall of Famer,
Speaker 2: an im media personality named Shannon Sharp. He's in the
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame for football. I guess he was in
Speaker 2: the Denver Broncos. Maybe yeah, okay, a very successful tight.
Speaker 3: End, maybe one of the all time greats y.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, and he was you know, he got
Speaker 2: really popular in the field of broadcasting, and then he
Speaker 2: was He had a fifty million dollar lawsuit for sexual assault.
Speaker 2: Now he has a new lawsuit. Sam, did you hear
Speaker 2: about it? I've heard a bit and peace okay. The
Speaker 2: lawsuit is seeking twenty million dollars in damages and was
Speaker 2: filed by a woman named jim Alita Tillman. Jim Alita
Speaker 2: is a prominent arts executive from Chicago who went viral
Speaker 2: after she had a fan interaction with Usher at a
Speaker 2: concert in April following me, I'm following you. So she
Speaker 2: goes to an Usher concert and she has a fan interaction.
Speaker 2: The lawsuit a ledges that Sharp and his Nightcap co
Speaker 2: host Chad Ocho Cinco is that the guy from the
Speaker 2: other football player Ochosinco.
Speaker 3: Yes, he used to play for the Cincinnati Bengals.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's famous. So I guess they're both on this show.
Speaker 2: And they created a false narrative on their podcast, claiming
Speaker 2: that jim Alita was married and that her husband was
Speaker 2: filing for divorce because of the concert video Tilman. However,
Speaker 2: jim Alita Tillman stated she was not married at the time,
Speaker 2: so don't scandalize her. According to jim Alita, she tried
Speaker 2: to contact Sharp's team to correct the record and have
Speaker 2: the misleading comments removed from their platforms, but her request
Speaker 2: was disregarded. She claims that this caused significant emotional distress
Speaker 2: and reputational harm, affecting both her personal and professional life.
Speaker 2: The legal battle comes at an interesting time for Shannon Sharp.
Speaker 2: He recently settled a separate, high profile, fifty million dollar
Speaker 2: lawsuit that accused him of sexual assault. This new lawsuit
Speaker 2: is now another legal challenge for the media star, who
Speaker 2: also recently left his role at ESPN, and his legal
Speaker 2: team has not responded.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, formation time, come out.
Speaker 2: All right, so terrible. It's almost good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's almost good.
Speaker 2: And the weekend they announced it that this is happening.
Speaker 2: They told them, hey, we're going to go public with this,
Speaker 2: and he goes, can you wait till after the weekend
Speaker 2: because I'm about to make a speech inducting my brother
Speaker 2: Sterling Sharp into the Football Hall of Fame at Canton, Ohio.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this actually happened. Yes.
Speaker 2: All the Cantonese people that were there for the celebration
Speaker 2: said it was just it was just very awkward, and
Speaker 2: he was like the elephant in the room.
Speaker 3: I'm surely enjoyed good cuisine.
Speaker 2: They don't understand a word of Mandarin. That's the thing there.
Speaker 2: So you got to go, you know, you got to
Speaker 2: go straight Cantonese or nobody knows what you're talking about.
Speaker 2: So what do you think happens next for Shannon Sharp?
Speaker 2: What kind of person is this?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Well, obviously he's a person who attracts sexual assault lawsuits. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's a fact that he attracts them. That's a fact.
Speaker 2: We don't know if he actually sexually assaults anybody, because.
Speaker 3: We've heard the phone calls. So what are the phone
Speaker 3: calls like, Oh, the phone calls that he had from
Speaker 3: the previous case. Yeah, yeah, no, they.
Speaker 2: Were I'm sorry for as sexually assaulting you.
Speaker 3: They were a little aggressive.
Speaker 2: Oh well, he says, like I'm going to sexually assault
Speaker 2: you again, that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3: Not so much that more just like it was a
Speaker 3: little more aggressive than definitely needed to be he needed
Speaker 3: to be. And they she recorded the conversation and it
Speaker 3: was part of the evidence against him.
Speaker 2: If you get the right recording, fifty million dollars comes
Speaker 2: your way. Oh yeah, I'm telling you that. Now, what
Speaker 2: do you think. I wonder how much of that she'll get. Well,
Speaker 2: the lawyers will take most of it and earn almost
Speaker 2: enough of it, none of it. I'm I am a lawyer,
Speaker 2: by the way, people, I'm telling you, But these lawyers
Speaker 2: I don't know, and they're not that great. Okay. So
Speaker 2: he's got a twenty million dollar and a fifty million
Speaker 2: dollar and o Jo Sinko also has a twenty million
Speaker 2: dollar He's part of this too, so he he You know,
Speaker 2: when some actually, when someone asks you to co host
Speaker 2: a podcast, you gotta be careful because you could be
Speaker 2: on the other end of a twenty million dollar lawsuit.
Speaker 3: There was also another former athlete turned podcaster that had
Speaker 3: some brush ups with the law this last week. It
Speaker 3: was Gilbert Arenas who Gils Arena, the host of Gills Arena.
Speaker 3: He was a local from out here. He got in
Speaker 3: trouble for a high stakes poker game outside of his house.
Speaker 3: Now alleged all of the stuff is. You know, we
Speaker 3: are only in the allegation phase of all this stuff,
Speaker 3: but he's out. He posted bail, I believe, and he's
Speaker 3: now making jokes about it. And talking about it publicly
Speaker 3: as much as he can. Well, that's a victimist crime,
Speaker 3: right there. I would say so, yes, guess. But apparently
Speaker 3: it had the Feds pounding down in store. So whatever
Speaker 3: was the stakes were higher than your normal usual you know,
Speaker 3: kitchen table poker game with your buds.
Speaker 2: That's a badge of honor for that guy. Yeah, he's
Speaker 2: a badass now.
Speaker 3: Well, and the thing is, he's also you know, we
Speaker 3: talk a lot about movies and documentaries. He's one of
Speaker 3: the subjects of a documentary that you can find on
Speaker 3: Netflix right now. It's about the Javaris Critenden story that
Speaker 3: they had this issue back in the day when they
Speaker 3: both played in Washington together where they both brought guns
Speaker 3: into the locker room and both of them got suspended
Speaker 3: for a long time. But Javaris Crittenden that set off
Speaker 3: a whole chain of events that set him down in
Speaker 3: prison for a while. And he had been released and
Speaker 3: Gil wanted to do this documentary specifically for him to
Speaker 3: clear his name.
Speaker 2: Oh and then he now he's still in trouble again
Speaker 2: after the documentary.
Speaker 3: Now Gil is back in trouble with the law for
Speaker 3: something complete criminals related.
Speaker 2: If he's a criminal having a high stakes porco game.
Speaker 2: Then you know there's all kinds of in afaarious stuff
Speaker 2: going on, So the feds are going to be on
Speaker 2: top of that.
Speaker 3: If you're he lives out here in Encino, he's he's
Speaker 3: a local, he grew up out here in La typical

Speaker 2: to the owner of the museum.
Speaker 3: And not that guy that was on Saturday and the
Speaker 3: Night Live who's that kind Oh no, the other guy
Speaker 3: that you said, that really funny guy movie star that
Speaker 3: also is totally into the punk scene. Comedy. Oh, he
Speaker 3: was in a bunch of movies with Will Ferrell.
Speaker 2: Are you talking about the name you took well now that.
Speaker 3: He plays the drums, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know
Speaker 3: what I'm talking about. You.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but when you do that to me, then then
Speaker 2: his name goes out of my out of my head.
Speaker 3: Yeah, now I care for you. Yeah, exactly, that's who
Speaker 3: That's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2: And he is a too. He is a tour guy there,
Speaker 2: but he's not as good as me.
Speaker 3: And that's amazing, thank you, because that guy is like
Speaker 3: a comedy pretty common, you know, comedic legend guy, and
Speaker 3: you give a better more entertainment.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, he's Where was that guy, you know
Speaker 2: back in the day? Where was he really? Okay? So
Speaker 2: uh let's see speaking of Hollywood. Oh, I better cover this.
Speaker 2: We're talking about the Gallagher the Gallagher brothers, yes please,
Speaker 2: Gallagher one and Gallagher two. Evidently Gallagher one and Gallagher
Speaker 2: two had a concert.
Speaker 3: Did they smash fruit?
Speaker 2: No, it's kind of a tragic story. A man in
Speaker 2: his forties fell off the balcony during during an Oasis
Speaker 2: concert and he died after in Wembley Stadium in London
Speaker 2: on Saturday night.
Speaker 3: That's tragic and that's also a really lame way to die.
Speaker 3: I don't know at an Oasis concert.
Speaker 2: I think it's I think it's not bad. Of all
Speaker 2: the things you could do. According to the Metropolitan Police,
Speaker 2: that's the chocolate, vanilla and strawberry police you've seen walking
Speaker 2: around the United Kingdom. Oh that's the Neapolitan Oh yes,
Speaker 2: yes officers, medics and the London Ambulance Service responded to
Speaker 2: the scene, but the man was pronounced dead. In a statement,
Speaker 2: the band said they were shocked and saddened by the
Speaker 2: death and extended their condolences to the man's family and friends.
Speaker 2: Despite the incident, the concert, scheduled for Sunday night, proceeded
Speaker 2: as planned. Police are now appealing for anyone who may
Speaker 2: have witnessed the fall or have video footage to come
Speaker 2: forward as they investigate the incident. Now legally, his family
Speaker 2: needs to know how it happened, because if it was
Speaker 2: his fault and he was just had an beers, that's
Speaker 2: one thing. But if he was not intoxicated, and if
Speaker 2: maybe it was a slippery step and he tumbled backwards
Speaker 2: and fell off about the the thing because there was
Speaker 2: an inadequate guardrail that some lawyer will come along and say,
Speaker 2: there was not an adequate guardrail here, you need nonstick surface.
Speaker 2: All these things added up to a tragic death. So
Speaker 2: could be some liability there, or it could just be
Speaker 2: an unfortunate accident that could not have been prevented. And uh,
Speaker 2: you know what, he wanted to see Oasis get back
Speaker 2: together and and he did. Good for him, Hopefully he
Speaker 2: lastedn't tell that, you know, the main headliner went on stage.
Speaker 2: We can only help, Okay. Uh, there a couple of
Speaker 2: extra stories here. They discovered a tunnel between and that
Speaker 2: leads to the Chateau Marmontel right here in uh sunset
Speaker 2: stream where we're going after the show. Yes, there was
Speaker 2: a tunnel that led to the club underneath that used
Speaker 2: to be called the Players Club. Then at some time
Speaker 2: it was called I remember it was called the Imperial
Speaker 2: something when I was a kid. The Players Club I
Speaker 2: think closed down in the fifties. Then it was the
Speaker 2: Imperial forgot, then it was the Roxbury. Yeah, that was
Speaker 2: that inspired the movie Night at the Roxbury. And they
Speaker 2: were remodeling it to make a pink taco, which is gross.
Speaker 2: That's when Hollywood. That's when I moved out of Hollywood,
Speaker 2: when a Pink Taco opened up in front of me,
Speaker 2: in front of my house, like I mean, down the
Speaker 2: street on Sunset.
Speaker 3: Thank you for providing a little more context.
Speaker 2: Yes, as a restaurant, Yes, And I just said, let's
Speaker 2: get out of here, and okay, so I'm happy. But so,
Speaker 2: the tunnel had been built by a guy named Preston
Speaker 2: Sturgis in the nineteen forties. Is a way for celebrities
Speaker 2: to sneak in and out in the Lousive hotel and
Speaker 2: detected by the public and the paparazzi, and everyone thought
Speaker 2: it was just a legend. But the guy they found
Speaker 2: it and it was was shut by lapd in like
Speaker 2: the eighties or something like that.
Speaker 3: Like did they block it off or anything? Yeah, was
Speaker 3: this like al Capone's tomb or something.
Speaker 2: I mean, someone could go unblock it and make a
Speaker 2: TV special out of it, I think, But that was
Speaker 2: Preston Sturgis late And speaking of Sturgis, do you know
Speaker 2: what the Sturgis motorcycle.
Speaker 3: Condition is, Harley Davidson Heaven.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so they have. They had a record seven hundred
Speaker 2: thousand people showed up for that this weekend and probably
Speaker 2: they seven hundred thousand the eighty fifth annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.

Speaker 2: so it's this weekend and then it goes all week
Speaker 2: where they want to go there. It's a music event too,
Speaker 2: Zz Top, Gene Simmons, five Finger Death Punch and Jason Alden.
Speaker 2: That's that's a major that's turned into like a major festival.
Speaker 2: Beyond the concerts, she got the guided rides through the
Speaker 2: scenic Black Hills, stunt shows, bike shows, various competitions, raping, pillaging,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 3: Motorcycle and I don't know they had a competition for that.
Speaker 2: Yeah they do. Yeah, there's like you know, of course
Speaker 2: these motorcycle people don't do that anymore. Those are stereotypes.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, there were a bunch of those old
Speaker 3: exploit I don't even comment exploitation films, but those old
Speaker 3: films from the fifties and sixties where you know, those
Speaker 3: evil biker gangs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so those are the films won in Seal Beach
Speaker 2: in Main Street right in my neighborhood. The Wild Ones,
Speaker 2: the pre previous, the prequel to Billy Jack Okay. Conversely,
Speaker 2: Pope Leo the fourteenth, the first American Pope, received a
Speaker 2: rock star welcome at a vigil for the Jubilee of
Speaker 2: Youth that was the celebration this week and also going
Speaker 2: on at the same time. More than a million young
Speaker 2: people from one hundred and forty six countries gathered for
Speaker 2: the week long event. The show also featured guided rides
Speaker 2: through the scenic Black Hills, stunt shows, bike shows, and
Speaker 2: various competitions. Oh wait, no, they didn't. It was described
Speaker 2: as the It was described as the Catholic Woodstock, and
Speaker 2: during the vigil Pope Stock. Pope Leo encouraged the youth
Speaker 2: to aspire to great things, and he also took the
Speaker 2: opportunity to speak about global conflicts in places like Gaza
Speaker 2: and Ukraine, calling for peaceful resolutions. And the event, which
Speaker 2: took place took just three months into his papacy, is
Speaker 2: viewed as a major success for the new Pope and
Speaker 2: a strong sign of his appeal to a younger generation.
Speaker 2: The new Pope, the American Pope. I talked to a priest.
Speaker 2: I said, yeah, we got a new Pope and he said,
Speaker 2: never in his life did he think there would ever
Speaker 2: be an American pope. Never in his life. He just
Speaker 2: like blindsided by it. So and he spoke that Pope
Speaker 2: spoke at a White Sox game on the jumbo trum.
Speaker 3: Interesting. Yeah, I thought it was more of a Cubs fan.
Speaker 2: No, it's an underdone Yeah. So that's how you know
Speaker 2: he's legit. If he was a Cubs fan, then I
Speaker 2: would be suspicious. But as a White Sox fan, yeah,
Speaker 2: he's They still have a chance. Excellent. Unlike this radio show,
Speaker 2: which is it's just we're creeping up on it, it's toast.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So I want to reiterate architecton architect on. So if
Speaker 2: you want to see this movie, you got to go
Speaker 2: to a theater and you're gonna have to see it
Speaker 2: in the morning. Yeah, and it's from a twenty four. Now,
Speaker 2: there's some things in it that didn't work. So I'm
Speaker 2: not saying it's perfect, but it's it's worth it. They
Speaker 2: for some reason, the architect that's kind of the subject
Speaker 2: of that. They're reflecting on the what it means to
Speaker 2: build these buildings and blah blah blah. He's building a circle.
Speaker 2: Throughout the whole movie, they keep going back to the
Speaker 2: circle he's building. They never really tell you why, but
Speaker 2: it kind of keeps a story moving. I guess architect,
Speaker 2: all right. I will now leave you with just a
Speaker 2: taste of the greatest song ever written.
