Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Hey, getaing me, Chris Brrel, can't find em six forty
more stimulating talk. And there's no business, Lie shel business.
It's a big night. We're kicking off the awards season.
Here we are, first week of January, first weekend, first
chance we get, and we're just roll it all out.
We got the Golden globes are happening and already some

(00:26):
winners coming in. Niha Shida joining us right now. She's
our digital reporter. Nieha, great to talk with you. Thank
you so much for spending some time with us on
a Sunday night. And it's not a conventional time for
you high flute and celebrity types to be hanging out
on the radio on a Sunday night, but here you.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Are, no worries at all, glad to do it all right.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
So give me your observations. What's what are you witnessing,
Give me the give me the red carpet shockers, give
me the give me the excitement that went on and
what everybody is buzzing about right.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
Now, well, right now, there's only been a few awards,
so the big ones haven't been announced. Yet. But on
the red carpet we had the same fashion killers per
usuals and Dya was amazing. You know, we had Timothy Shallomet,
We had all of the big stars walk it and

(01:13):
they looked. Angelina Jolie she was more amazing in person
than you see on the TV screen. So all the
big stars are here. The energy is great, it's big.
I feel like we had so much great TV and
movies this year, so we'll see who who take home
the big awards.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Yeah, I agree. What made Angelina Joe Lee better in person?
Bigger in person?

Speaker 3 (01:39):
That's angelic. She's angelic. She has like she I don't
even think she walks. She was like floating, floating along
the carpet.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Ah. There, it's kind of a throwback then. That's cool.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
Yeah, I'm so calm. You know a lot of the
stars have a lot going on around them. They're they're
hustling and bustling. She was just like gracefully slowly walking.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
Wow. So else she's out a practice, right, She's done
that a number. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
I see thought the Wicked stars Arianna and Cynthia as well,
they were amazing as well.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
I love that. I saw Jeremy Allen White just won
for Best Actor in a TV Comedy in The Bear.
He was up against some pretty stiff competition too.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
Yes, I've heard of everybody in attendance.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
He was and went on, what's his deal? Is he
too good? I don't know.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
I hope he's filming something, because I don't know why
he isn't here.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Oh it's garbage. Steve Martin, Martin Short, Ted Dance and
Jason Siegel and Adam Brody all in that category as well,
and Jeremy Allen White comes away with it. Although I've
said this before and I'm going to stick to this,
The Bear is not a comedy, and I've never had
a comedy stress me out so much as The Bear does,
So I just I always think it's miscategorized.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
I agree with you there, it gives you a lot
of anxiety. It's very anxiety inducing. What's your prediction? What's
your biggest prediction for tonight? Oh?

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Man, Well, listen, I was really excited. I don't know
if it's a prediction. I was really excited to see
Hiroyuki Sonata win for Showgun because I thought he was
amazing in shows.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
Okay, fun fact, he is taking a picture in front
of me right now.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Oh my gosh, can you get us attention?

Speaker 3 (03:17):
Can you just tell him how much I love walking
past me. He's about to walk past me right now.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Tell him we're talking about it. I'm like, kfi.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
He just walked past. He just walked past. He's going
back into the room.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Okay, all right, well listen. I thought he was great.
He was super. Some other great names in that category
as well, Donald Glover for Mister and Missus Smith, Jake Gillenhall,
Presumed Innocent, Gary Oldman in Slow Horses, Eddie Redmain, Day
of the Jackal and Billy, Bob Thornton and Landman, And
I've seen most of those. I have to do some
catching up before we do our union votes too, so
there's gonna be a lot of these. This gives me
a cheat sheet going into the union voting because it's

(03:52):
the only it's the only competition I get to vote on.
But I have to do a little bit of cheating,
so I know what I really need to pay close
attention to because I haven't. I haven't seen a lot
of these, so I'm going to be catching up on
this stuff. As far as other predictions tonight, I don't
know what should I what should I predict? Motion picture?
Let me see comedy's going No, no, no, no, no. I think
Wicked will win for a motion picture comedy.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
It has got got to take home a lot tonight.
I predict as well.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
Yeah, I think that's a big one. Let me see
what else do we have for a big predictions? I
don't know, Kayla? Uh what am I predicting? Kayla? This
is why I have a producer, Neah, I have to
have I have to have somebody else predict for me.
What what? What am I predicting? Kayla? You're supposed to
be doing this? Is it fair to have Mickey Glazer
nominated and hosting at the same time she's nominated for

(04:38):
Best Performance in a stand up comedy special. That seems unfair.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
It does feel unfair. But I've got to say, you know,
she's doing a pretty good job. I like her hosting.
She's funny, she's funny.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
All right, Well, has she said anything that's really upset people?
Because that's what I was hoping for. I was hoping
she'd she'd kind of cross the line like Ricky Gervais
used to do.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
Oh, I'm sure she is. I'm sure she is. I'm
sure it's coming.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
I know. She kind of opened the show with some
crack about how this is Ozempic's biggest night, and I
thought that was funny.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
She also said something about how somebody in this room
will probably be in jail next year. She said that
was a faith prediction, crossing the line.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah, let me see. Do I have any other big predictions? Kyla,
You've really let me down on what my big predictions are. No, no, no,
not working for me. All right, I got nothing else Meah,
she had anything else that I that we need to
get out there because I think I think you're doing great.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
I will keep you guys updated. If anything big happens,
I will reach back out. Nothing yet, but we'll see
what happens. Anything can happen.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
Is there anywhere that we can follow you where we
see you at?

Speaker 3 (05:52):
Yeah, follow me on the KFI instagram k IF I
am six forty and as well as my personal it's
Neha Nahan.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
All right, that's what we're gonna do. Ne Ha Sida
joining us right now. And if you see Hirooki Sonata again,
please tell him.

Speaker 4 (06:08):
Okay, thank you so much.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Appreciate you. You're the best, all right, You just said
find her on Instagram Cafi Instagram. Good stuff there. Uh yeah,
I'm I'm still bummed at the bear ends up in
the comedy category. It just doesn't belong. And here's here's why.
It's more than just me being a little snarky about it.

(06:34):
The chops that it takes are different between comedy and drama.
And I can speak to this to some degree because
I do have a little bit of a background in
theater and acting. Right. I went to college for that
and I wasn't good enough. But if you're not good enough,
that means you're good enough to be a critic. So
it's different chops. I've always argued that comedic acting is

(06:58):
more difficult because timing is everything, right, That's what they
always say. Timing is everything. There's there the the nuances
of every intonation add to the elevation of that of
that comedy, and it is incredibly difficult. That said, dramas
always get the attention because dramas tap into deeper emotions.

(07:20):
So with the drama, you have to access another level
of your psyche. With comedy, it's all about the the
the technical of acting, and so if you can access
that that second level for a drama, for a dramatic acting,
then you can kind of get away with you know,

(07:40):
this side eye or or that that twitch or whatever else.
It is. With comedy, every little thing compounds for better
or for worse. It's it's just it's a more technical
acting experience. For Jeremy Allen White to win as Best
Actor in a TV comedy is not fair because credit
always love when somebody goes into that next level, that

(08:03):
depth of their emotion, which again, they're different, they're different.
I think comedy is more difficult. Others might say that
the drama's more difficult. They're just different approaches, which means
that you're judging someone on a different level. I don't
think that Jeremy Allen White in The Bear is funny whoa,

(08:24):
And I don't think that that should be considered a comedy.
I think it should be in the dramatic category. That said,
he should also be nominated for Best Actor in a
TV Drama, but he should be up against the Heroyuki Sonatas,
the Jake Gillenhalls, the Gary Oldman's That's that those are
the people he needs to be facing. Steve Martin, Martin Short,
Ted Danson, Jason Siegel, Adam Brody Best Actor in a

(08:46):
TV comedy, completely different scripts that didn't rely on them
going to that next level of internal turmoil, especially Jason
Siegel and shrinking is great. I see that Best Supporting
Actor in a TV role. Uh, now, this is just
they're all rolled into one, whether it's comedy or drama.

(09:08):
And Harrison Ford for shrinking. I was just watching two
episodes from wrapping that up. God, Harrison Ford is so
good in that he didn't win the h the award
for Best Supporting Actor, that again went to another actor
from Chilgun, which wonderful, wonderful series, and I love it,
but I thought Harrison Ford is just amazing and shrinking.

(09:28):
So uh, that's that's where we stand on that. We'll
give you updates is those there's more of those stories
come in. I'm going to extend today's no business Like
because easy easy, because we had we have a very
special night with the Gold Globes going on, so that
means I have to talk to you about the tragedy

(09:50):
that is that people are discussing and it is an
absolute heartbreaker that is next. Uh, there's no business Like.
That's good timing, Well done, Chris Merril k I AM
six forty live everywhere on your iHeart radio app.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
You're listening to kfi AM six forty on demand by
Chris Merril.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
Kfi AM six forty more stimulating talk. There's no Business Live.
Business news have known from Cinciltoon and Bionno got another
winner in the Golden Globes. It looks like Colin Farrell
wins for Best Actor in a Limited Series or TV movie.
He won for The Penguin. Did you see? I thought
Penguin was great? Did you see the makeup in the Penguin?

(10:33):
I mean I am not usually somebody who spends a
lot of time talking about the makeup or special effects,
because I know that's considered kind of a tech type category.
But the makeup in the Penguin for him was so good.
He's completely unrecognizable, so really great to see that, love
to see it. He beat out Richard Gadd from Baby Reindeer,

(10:53):
Andrew Scott and Ripley, Kevin Klein was a disclaimer Cooper
Coke and Monsters. It's the Menenda story and then you
and McGregor and a gentleman in Moscow. So anyway, Colin
Ferrell picking that one up Emilia Perez Win's the Best
Non English Language Film, which I think a lot of
people expected, and Ali Wong won for the best Performance
in a stand up comedy special for Single Lady, so

(11:15):
she beat out the host Nikki Glazer. All right, there's
your update on what's happening there. So I was quite
sadden when I started looking at the news a little
bit earlier this weekend and I saw the headline about
Jeff Bana dying, And like so many the reason the
headline was written the way it was is that people

(11:36):
don't necessarily recognize the name of Jeff Banit, but they
do recognize His wife is Aubrey Plaza, the actress Parks
and Rack and a number of other films. She's very
good and generally plays she's kind of the young bill Handle.
She's like a lovable jerk in everything she plays. So
when I saw that it was her husband that died

(11:57):
and he was only forty seven years old, I thought, Oh,
that's really too bad, And then I learned a little
bit more.

Speaker 5 (12:02):
Film director and husband of actress Aubrey Plaza, Jeff Bena,
has died at the age of forty seven. Banya was
discovered in his home by an assistant yesterday. It's believe
he died by suicide. He's been married to Plaza since
twenty twenty one, and they frequently work together on projects.
Begnyat was best known for directing the horror comedy Life After.

Speaker 4 (12:21):
Beth.

Speaker 5 (12:22):
Plaza has not yet commented on her husband's step. A
reminder there are free and confidential all right.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
Then ABC seven goes on to talk about the suicide
hotline and helplines and things like that, if you can
get through to them, they don't put you on hold,
which is something that someone very close to me has
been dealing with so devastated by hearing the news that
he took his own life. I don't know what. I
don't know what was going on in his world. I

(12:49):
don't have any idea. I don't want to pretend to know.
I just think it's always too bad when when somebody
takes her own life, and you know, when you see
somebody dying at age forty seven, you think, oh, this
is those weird freak accidents, like you know, like Jamie
Fox having the brain bleed. I had a friend of
mine who's she's in her late thirties or something, and
had a brain bleed last spring and was is fortunate

(13:12):
to be alive. Fortunately she started getting dizzy, fell to
the ground, was able to call nine one one before
she passed out, and basically saved her own life because
of it. I don't know. Maybe you guys, you guys
ever have somebody who just died of a freak accident
when they were younger in your world? Uh yeah, I
just had a coworker passed away at forty five, had

(13:32):
an asthma attack and then a blood clot in a lungs.
No kidding, he just wash. That's a terrible way to go.
That's freak, like you said, it just yeah, total freak accident.
Yeah yeah. My dad used tell a story about a
guy who went to high school with who had a headache,
went to bed early with a headache and never woke up.
Which I think that was probably one of those brain bleeds,
like like Jamie Fox a headache, He had a headache

(13:55):
and he went to bed. Wow. I went to college
with a girl and it was our junior year. I
think it was, uh, it was gonna be like October
November of our junior year. I went to I went
home for the weekend, I went back to college and
her boyfriend was my roommate and he's crying, and I went,
what happened? He says, Cathy died? What you know? So

(14:18):
yeah again, junior year of college. What was I twenty?
She died? She wasn't feeling she was at a friend's house,
wasn't feeling well, went to bed and didn't wake up.
So you know, when you hear about somebody dying young,
I don't assume suicide, but I guess it makes perfect sense,
and that, you know, somebody dying young. There's a reason

(14:39):
we call those freak accidents because happened so infrequently. But
terrible man, terrible deal. Let me see meanwhile, what else
is happening? Oh yeah, oh here? Armie Hammer is going
to make a comeback. According to movie maker Armie Hammer,
whose career collapsed amid revelations that I enjoyed cannibal themed
sexual role play as well as sexual assault accusations that

(15:02):
didn't lead to hi any criminal charges, says he's making
a quiet career comeback and that the general perception of
him in Hollywood is man, that guy got screwed?

Speaker 6 (15:14):
Is that?

Speaker 2 (15:14):
Is that a general perception is that is that right,
So he had private messages that went viral a few
years back. He was talking about cannibalism, drinking blood, enslavement,
and rope. He since contended that they were part of
a consensual fantasy role playing, taking away out of context.
All right, but what about the whole sexual assault allegation stuff. Yeah,

(15:36):
that's where it gets rough. But it didn't lead to
criminal charges, so it never happened. Sure, Oh, how dare
you say that? All right, there's a guy in Congress
by the name of Matt Gats that was never charged
with anything either. And let's also keep in mind that
Epstein was never found guilty. So all right, now you're

(15:56):
getting my point. Okay, all right, now you start to
pick up what I'm putting down. How about good news
around some celebrities. How about Simone Biles. Love Simone Biles.
She's the kind of person we all want to rally behind.
She's been named Sports Illustrated's twenty twenty four Person of
the Year, the most decorated gymnast of all time, has
altered the face of gymnastics, sparked sweeping change across sports,

(16:18):
and this year captain all with an astonishing personal comeback,
speaking of assault. Wasn't Simone Biles the one that had
to deal with that whole sexual assault thing from the trainer, right,
Raoul Am, I she was one of the victims, wasn't she.
I believe she was, yes involved, Yeah, I think she
was one of the victims because she was one of
those that was on her. Was there the court cases

(16:40):
and whatnot, watching the whole sentencing and speaking out. So, boy,
you talk about somebody that had to overcome not only
the rigors of training in order to be the best
at a particular sport. Boy, she had to overcome some
real challenges along the way. Holy cow, can't even imagine
what she went through. So anyway, twenty twenty four Sports
per of the Year. So congratulations to Simone Biles. Let

(17:03):
me see Meghan McCain. You know who that is, Keyley,
you know who Megan McCain is. Kyla's my lipman's test
on this.

Speaker 4 (17:13):
I'm young and cool.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
You do know?

Speaker 4 (17:15):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
Oh, you don't know.

Speaker 4 (17:16):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
Okay, So she was on she was on the view
for a while. Her dad was John McCain, the senator
that was runner up for president two thousand and eight.
So Megan McCain is now speaking out. She says that
Netflix's new series featuring Meghan Markle, called With Love Meghan,

(17:40):
she says it's out of touch. In the teaser, the
former actress shows off her cooking and gardening skills with
appearances from her celebrity friends like Mindy Kayleeing, Roy Choi,
Alice Waters, and her suits co star Abigail Spencer. However,
just hours after the trailer hit social media, Megan McCain
and ripped Markles tone deaf for at leasting the out

(18:00):
of touch project. McCain said now that she wants to
be an American instead of a British aristocracy. What she
seems to forget is Americans want real, raw uncensored. So
thank goodness we have Megan McCain's opinion on that. Right,

(18:21):
Megan McCain is fine. I just don't know why this
is the headline or why it deserves any Does she
not understand escapism? I mean, wouldn't that be like watching
The Real Housewives of insert city here and saying this
is how dare they even put this on television? People
are paying too much for eggs? Now we like the escapism?

Speaker 4 (18:40):
Well, I think it's kind of just that that Isn't
that Megan McCain's like brand to be out of touch?
Like I think that's that's what I've heard about her.
I'm not a huge fan of the view, but when
I ever heard her name being brought up, it was like, Oh,
she's so out of touch. She says things.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
She just wants to rip on Hollywood celebrities, that's it,
or celebrities in general. That's her brand. Yeah, Okay, it's
not that she's out of touch, is that she's gonna
it's kind of a Fox News thing where I'm just
gonna complain about things that I don't like, and I'm
going to say that if I don't like it, then
nobody likes it. And these people are tear It's not
just my opinion, this is everyone's opinion kind of thing. Okay,
So the trailer comes out and Megan McCain posts on

(19:15):
Twitter there have been two terror attacks in two days,
major wars raging, and Americans can't pay for groceries. We
are a country and rage, uncertainty and intensity right now.
This concept is ill advised. I would have told her
to do a show helping bring fresh food to food
deserts and low income neighborhoods. Do something to help people
instead of your ego. She's doing a cook who cares

(19:36):
all escapism And if you think Americans don't have royalty,
you are completely out of touch in America. Are royalty?
Are the politicians? Yikes? All right, I'm gonna give you
a bonus segment of There's No Business Like, including a
couple of prequels. I suppose who doesn't love a good

(19:57):
prequel and maybe a great crossover that is next No
business Like Show Business Squad Ahead Chris Merril kfi AM

Speaker 1 (20:07):
You're listening to kfi AM six forty on demand.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Good Evening, Golden Globes Evening Chris Merrill, paf i AM
six forty more stimulating talk updates on the Golden Globes.
Best Actress in a Comedy of your musical goes to
Demi Moore for the substance. She was up against some
pretty solid names too, Amy Adams from Night Bitch, Cynthia

(20:32):
Arrivo from Wicked, are the Sophia Gascone from Emilia Perez,
which already won for Best Foreign or Best Non English
Language Film, Mikey Madison from Honora and Zendia from Challengers,
and Demi Moore beat them out. Best Actress from a
limited Anthology went to Jodi Foster True Detective Night Country.

(20:52):
A couple of things there. One Jodi Foster was amazing too.
It's nice to see True Detective put out a solid season.
Really happy to see that number of other big actresses
in that category as well. Kate Blanchett, Christi Miliati from
The Penguin, Sophia Vergara from Griselda. Naomi Watts was in
that and Kate Winslet also in the category. So seeing

(21:15):
some seeing some some recognizable names that are that are
coming through big, coming through big on this. So there's
your update on what's going on with the Golden Globes.
I love me a good origin story. In fact, the
next Superman is going to be another Superman origin story,
and I don't know why, but I could watch everybody's

(21:37):
origin story sequels are fine, that's great. Love to see
what happens when Superman has to become human to fall
in love with Lois Lane. I'm going way back Cala
that was the original Superman with Christopher Reeve. But I
love Superman one loved it. I love when they do
an origin story. I love seeing Superman in Iowa or

(21:59):
cam this or wherever he staged at that time, which
changes based on the screenplay. I love seeing the Batman
origin stories, the different takes on how he got to
where he is. I love that stuff. I know the
origin story behind serial killer Dexter. But now it's a
guess going to come to life because we're getting a
Dexter prequel. Oh I miss it. He Dexter fans, you

(22:32):
felt guilty rooting for the serial killer, but he was
a serial killer with heart. Now I'm gonna get all
like snooty on you here. Actually read the books. I
don't like to read a whole lot, but I read
the books, and when I read the books, the Dexter
origin story becomes very clear, and I was excited to

(22:53):
see it brought to life a little bit in the series.
Sounds like we're gonna get it with this new one,
Dexter Aginal Sin. This becomes the second spin off of
the Dexter franchise. I guess so Dexter ended. People were
upset with the way that it ended the last season
of the original Dexter they brought back Dexter new Blood,
which was the I think they only ran for like

(23:18):
one season, and now we're getting Dexter Original Sin. This
is a prequel of The Serial Killer. The younger version
of Dexter. Michael C. Hall still provides narration and then
I guess he's on camera a little bit. I haven't
seen any of this yet, but it is set in
Dexter's earliest days working alongside Miami Metro. It's not exactly
an origin story because the origin was, for those unfamiliar,

(23:40):
from when he was four years old his mother was murdered.
But this sounds like it's sort of him when he
first gets a job helping himself cover up his own crimes.
So I haven't seen it. I'm looking forward to seeing that.
Might have to subscribe to another streaming service. Crap, hate that. Kayla,
uh producer, Kayla. A couple of Oh real quick, Kayla,

(24:05):
are we talking with doctor Wendy coming up here in
about fifteen minutes.

Speaker 4 (24:07):
Doctor Wendy wants nothing more than to talk with you.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
Oh good, I love her. I need my therapy this week,
and not therapy, I need my advice this week. She
doesn't like it when I call it therapy. Okay, good.
Second question, can I borrow four million dollars? Yes? Thank you?

Speaker 4 (24:22):
Actually, oh, I forgot. I don't have that much.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
I would like to buy a house in Albuquerque and
it's only four million dollars.

Speaker 4 (24:29):
Albuquerque.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
Yeah, really nice place, nice place to build a meth empire.
You here. The problem is the house is only a
praise at about four hundred thousand. So that's why I
need to borrow it from you, and I can't get
it from a bank. Yeah, are you?

Speaker 4 (24:44):
Are you a criminal?

Speaker 2 (24:46):
Not yet? Okay, We've got to get my layer. That's
exactly what this is, the original layer from Breaking Bath.
If you watch Breaking Back, one of the greatest television
series of all time, you know that they had a
very simple, single family, single story home and alb quirky.

(25:06):
It's the quirkiest of all the Owls right in New Mexico. There.
So the house where this was set, which I found
out from reading about this, the interior scenes were not
actually set inside that househole that it sure looked like
it did a nice job at the continuity on it.
The interior scenes were set I think they were here

(25:29):
on one of the sound stages but the house itself.
The exterior scenes were done at this place in Albuquerque,
and there's one scene that's very famous where Walter White
play by Brian Cranston, is gets into an argument with
his wife and he's holding a pizza and he comes
outside and he's so angry he throws the pizza up
on the roof. Now, come to find out, they ordered

(25:52):
a bunch of pizzas because they don't know how many
takes they were gonna have to do, and he threw
the first pizza on the roof first take. It landed
exactly how they wanted, So I guess I just meant
the crew had extra pizza that they could eat. And
I was thinking about this too. If you throw pizza
onto a shingled roof and it doesn't land the way
that you want it to do, you have to stop
everything down so that somebody can get up there and

(26:12):
clean it off for the next take. You would have
to write, Yeah, it's kind of like when you watch
one of those scenes where somebody's driving across a dirt
road or out into a desert or something, and you
can see the tracks from previous takes or from a
camera truck. I hate when it looks like they're driving
across the desert like no one's been here in years,
and then they start driving and they're following other tire tracks.

(26:35):
I hate that. So I guess good thing. Brian Cranston
nailed the pizza toss on the roof first take. The
problem is for the people that then live in that house.
It becomes one of those famous Hollywood houses, and I
guess they had a problem with people coming by and
throwing pizzas on the roofs. That's the good problem, Isn't

(27:00):
that messed up?

Speaker 4 (27:01):
I would love to go to my roof and just
get pizza every.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
Now, right, free pizza? Ye?

Speaker 4 (27:05):
Yeah, what am I complaining about?

Speaker 2 (27:07):
Right? Yeah? So I guess that it did bother the
neighbors for a while. They grew up there, The people
that owned the house grew up there. The mother just
passed away. They owned a place from the nineteen seventies. Yeah,
this is our family home from nineteen seventy three, almost
fifty two years according to the woman. So we're just

(27:27):
we're going to walk away with just our memories. It's
time to move on. We're done. There's no reason to
fight anymore. They're tired of fighting people who were driving
by the house to take pictures and everything else. They
had to put up a fence outside, and they had
to tell people stay away, keep out of here, stop
throwing pizzas on our roof. And so now they said,
we're going to walk away with just our memories and

(27:50):
four million dollars. Let's not forget about the four million
dollars that you're walking away with.

Speaker 4 (27:55):
A little hard to feel bad for them, right, just
a little.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
How do you suppose they picked that out? Because the
house is so nondescript, it's kind of you ever go
buy some of the houses you know around town here
that have been used for filming in different places, and
you know, oh, I can see how they came to
that one. Yeah, oh, I see how they got that,
you know, the house for Halloween or the house for
Frintay the thirteenth. I've been by these, you know, and
you go, oh, that's neat. I can see how they
picked that one out. This house in Albuquerque looks like

(28:23):
every other cookie cutter suburban home on the end of
every cul de sac in America, So which I guess
you have to pick one? Because that was the whole
point right that they were a very typical middle class
American family and a very boring town Albuquerque, but also
a border town that was key. So I get why

(28:48):
they had to have a house that looked like this.
I don't know why they chose this one. It doesn't
in any way, shape or form stand out. I mean,
they could have just as easily chosen the one next door.
I don't know if I had to do with lighting,
the direction that was facing. I really don't know why
they would have chosen this, but they did. They chose
this house out of the blue. And so I guess.
The family got to meet Brian Cranston when he was

(29:10):
coming to do some some shots, some shoots there and
things like that, so that's great. Two thousand and six,
a film scout approached the mother, who I told you
just recently passed away about shooting a pilot episode at
the home, and she said, I guess. So they said,
months later, the equipment shows up, they started filming, and
then they got to meet Brian Cranston and some of
the other stars. So that's cool. But four million dollars

(29:33):
and they say that the median price of an Albuquerque
home is about four hundred thousand. So if you've just
come up with a four million, then you are you're
going to live in that that celebrity house. Now, I
guess there you go. Oh and I did tease this.
I told you I was going to tell you about
a crossover. Two of the great shows that you can
catch right now from completely different vantage points, both set

(29:59):
in the same city. You guys watch Abbott Elementary.

Speaker 4 (30:02):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
I'm a fan. I think Abbot Elementary is great. I
think Kinda Brunson is a brilliant writer. It's wonderful. I
love it. Set in Philadelphia. Do you know what other
show is set in Philadelphia that you might recognize? It's
Always Sunny in Philadelphia is set in Philadelphia? Who knew
Always Sunny though was on Fax and Abbot is on ABC.

(30:28):
Am I right on that? I think ABC. I guess
they're gonna do a crossover episode. So this sounds great.
It's gonna air on the eighth, What is that Wednesday? Yeah,
So Charlie Day's character and Rob mclaney's character, and Danny
DeVito's character, Kaitlin Olsen's character in Glenn Howarden's character, so
the gang are gonna be visiting the Elementary school, the

(30:50):
Abbott Elementary, and they're not happy with the the crew
from Abbot Elementary and of course Shenanigan's continue. So there
you So there's little I guess inside jokes from the
two different shows about Mac flirting with the Janelle, James
Ava and Frank talking about trash. If you watched Always

(31:11):
Sonny then you would get that they go back to that.
If you watched Abbott, then you'll get some of the
jokes from that side. And if you watch them both
like I do, then you're going to just enjoy the
hell out of it. So the bar is said, Hi,
I'm really looking forward to it. Hopefully you are too.
That's all I have to say about that. Wrap up
the show business and we're going to talk with doctor
Wendy Watsh, doctor host of Doctor Wendy after Dark. She

Do you mind if we talk about sex?

Speaker 7 (32:28):
Come on, let's talk about sex, baby, Let's talk about
you and maybe let's talk about the things that maybe
see you know it. She's telling me not to sing.

Speaker 6 (32:39):
Kayle's like, no, don't please, don't sing, No, sing, don't sing.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
No, We're gonna cut an album together. It's gonna be great.

Speaker 6 (32:47):
Yeah. Apparently I'm a little tone deaf, but I enjoy
singing in the.

Speaker 2 (32:50):
Shower I Love It headline from the Daily Mail expert
predicts women will be having more sex with robots than
men next year, which led me to wonder.

Speaker 6 (33:01):
Well, wait, let's put some context there than you do
you mean?

Speaker 2 (33:05):
Yep, that's exactly where I was going.

Speaker 6 (33:07):
Go ahead, Will women be having more sex with robots
than men? Will be having sex with robots?

Speaker 2 (33:14):
Or does it mean what's the other one? Will women
be having more sex with robots then they'll be having
sex with men?

Speaker 6 (33:21):
Right? I think I think it's the first one.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
It is the first one. It's just a headline, it is,
and it's the Daily Mail, you know, so it's uh,
you know, you gotta think what you can out of it. Yeah,
although as I started reading about it, I thought they
shouldn't really count, Like, what are we considering as a robot?
Is any machine?

Speaker 6 (33:42):
Any vibrator is a robot.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
Exactly, That's what I'm saying. So I guess, Yeah, there's
a futurist who says that the humanity will start to
see some forms of robot sex appearing in high income,
very wealthy households.

Speaker 6 (33:56):
Have you googled, like, I just sex robots? I just
did it for fun. One time to see what's out there.
You're so realistic it's shocking. You can order as a gentleman,
just a posterior. Yeah, and it jiggles when you slap it.
It's a whole thing.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
You felt fun.

Speaker 4 (34:17):
Yeah, it felt very real. I was at a convention.
Is it? It was conventions you go to. It was
a toy convention. I was invited to by.

Speaker 6 (34:28):
They had an adult room or the whole whole thing
was adult. They had that thing in Vegas.

Speaker 4 (34:33):
Yes, yes, yeah, what was here? That one with a girlfriend.
And the butt feels real?

Speaker 6 (34:38):
So is there a heater in it?

Speaker 4 (34:39):
Like put my fingers in it?

Speaker 6 (34:43):
And it has three entrances.

Speaker 4 (34:46):
I didn't count the holes, I said, I.

Speaker 6 (34:49):
Just I said entrance. I could have meant fresh doors
that lead into a beautiful shacha.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
Okay finger Look at the time, guys, is it is there?
Is there going to come a time where where that's
completely acceptable, where people are just buying, Like I remember
a time when going online for dating was kind of like, oh,

(35:20):
you're online for dating, you must be desperate, you know
that kind of thing. And now that's like the first
place anybody goes with the only place.

Speaker 6 (35:26):
Yeah, you shouldn't be harassing people at work and you
should be in the vegetable.

Speaker 2 (35:30):
Are we going to Is there gonna be that point
where everybody's just like the sex robot is just what
you have.

Speaker 6 (35:36):
Here's what I'm going to tell you that human beings
Homo sapien, have the widest range of sexual behavior of
any primate species. So at any given time, there are
going to be very monogamous men who are very affectionate
and are never ever ever going to cheat. And at
the other end of the scale there's going to be

(35:58):
dead beat deads and robot using gentlemen whatever. And same
with women. I mean, I think men have a slightly
wider range than women do, but we have a wide
range both in and I've seen the internet what people
like to do, who they like to do it with,
and when and how. I will say this that research
has shown when there's more access to pornography, not by children,

(36:20):
not by children, by adult males, especially those who are
experiencing isolation, rape goes down.

Speaker 2 (36:29):
Oh that's interesting.

Speaker 6 (36:30):
It keeps them happy.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
So you know, the comparison you talked about the monogamous man,
the committed monogamous monogamous man, that you talked about the
womanizing deadbeat dad who has sex with robots? But are
those but in other words, is that a deviant behavior?

Speaker 6 (36:44):
Could it be a monogulous It sounds like you're saying
it's so atypical associated for society.

Speaker 2 (36:52):
You associated it with the dead beat dad, which I
would say is.

Speaker 6 (36:55):
Bad right, and bad for the woman who has babies
with him. But yeah, it's all I'm saying, is it
is you know, there's no judgment here. It's that we've
always had it all and it is buy or beware,
Which is why I'm in business and have been in
business for decades, because I'm on the radio and I
am writing books and blogs and podcasts to explain to

(37:16):
people that you need to look for the red flags.
You need to assess somebody because the mistake you can
make can be life long.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
Is it sex or about a red flag? Or is
it just a dirty sex robot that's a red flag?

Speaker 6 (37:29):
I don't know. I don't I just think, you know,
there's going to be a woman out there who's like,
cool dude to enjoy my night off, this is great.

Speaker 2 (37:38):
Yeah, And then there's Kayla who.

Speaker 6 (37:41):
Goes to conventions for it shoving that's amazing.

Speaker 2 (37:43):
I feel like we just we opened up a whole
new world of her that we didn't even know about.

Speaker 6 (37:46):
It's just something to see.

Speaker 2 (37:48):
Yes, this is why I love listening to doctor Wendy
after Dark. Wendy, I don't.

Speaker 6 (37:52):
Talk about sex that often. I talk about relationships.

Speaker 2 (37:55):
Which is why I had to draw it out of you.

Speaker 6 (37:56):
In fact, today I'm going to talk about whether you're
a candidate for dry January or damp January. Because remember
I'm a house psychology professor.

Speaker 2 (38:08):
There's some way sure you're not talking about sex because
that sounds like sex talks to me.

Speaker 6 (38:12):
See that sounds like a male brain to.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
Me, of course it is. Yeah, find the punchline, make
it thirty. Thank you what I do, Doctor Wendy after Dark.
She's fantastic. You're gonna love it and you learn something
along the way. It's what I do. I love listening
to doctor Wendy. Thank you so much. Doctor. We will
