Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
I don't even know. Speaking of sincerely subject, I pulled up, you know, the I like to pull up the uh the page, and I see uh the top story is the Mist Universe Puerto Rico announces second, second transgender contestant.
SPEAKER_02What second second trans contestant in in three years. Uh if if at first you don't succeed, try try again. Uh yeah, yeah. I was a little surprised to see this because it's been a while since I've seen uh transsexuals performing in the major uh pageant circuit. But there it is. There it is, couldn't resist, couldn't resist. So fingers crossed.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, fingers crossed and apparently legs crossed. The question I have for you is why do they think that this is acceptable? I thought we've kind of moved past this, but apparently we have not.
SPEAKER_02I am a fan, uh just for professional reasons of the content. And so if if in if indeed we have not moved past the era of men taking women's jobs, then you know, okay, I'm I've I'll strap my seatbelt back on then and continue to take the ride.
SPEAKER_00Yes, I know. It is fodder for the entertainment page on Breitbart. By the way, uh it's no, it's more than that.
SPEAKER_02I mean, I think it's it's it's well, it's voter registration, it's cultural shifts. Um the Democrats have shown zero uh signs or evidence that they are willing to snap out of the lunacy of backing uh anti-biology uh, you know, so I'm all for it. I'm all for it.
SPEAKER_00Speaking of weird things, but not so weird, and somewhat predictable if anyone was paying attention. I really wanted you to talk to me about Obamas and Netflix. What is going on? Are they feuding or are they just amicably saying, yeah, the content we gave you kind of sucks and we're not making money, so goodbye.
SPEAKER_02Um well, you know, the Obama's. So Ted Sarendos was the co-founder of Netflix. His wife was Barack Obama's uh ambassador to the Bahamas for a couple years. And, you know, uh Ted personally donated to the Obama campaign. Um Reed Hastings, who just resigned from Netflix last week, uh, also donated a buttload of money. So they're all chummy to begin with. Um, and this this deal started with an overall deal uh between Netflix and the Obamas in 2018. So there were years of just chumminess and financial backing politically uh before that. And an overall deal is basically um, if if I give you an overall deal, uh it basically says, Nick, that if you have any project, uh animated, uh feature film, documentary, sitcom, um, that I I I will back it financially for you, hire uh the directors, the writers, the filming space, and that is what this deal turned out to be um for the Obamas. Um, at least for the first few years. Um they did a documentary, I I think it was called American Rough. It was about like what happened to uh manufacturing in Middle America. Actually won a doc uh an Oscar um in 20 uh I think it was I think it was 2018 or 2019. Um 24 projects in the uh eight years now, I think, of this 10-year deal. Uh and so that's like a project every four months. I mean, anyone listening to me probably can't remember any of the Netflix Obama uh projects, even though there were a couple dozen of them.
SPEAKER_00Well, see that no, that leads me to my question. Was any of it quality? Was it any of it something that like I really gotta watch this?
SPEAKER_02There was one I've I've I've reported on the ones that were, you know, a bit controversial, I guess. There was uh an animated series about the history of America. It was sort of a uh I don't know, uh informational geared at children. Um, but it was all DEI and racially struck. And, you know, you just it it just n none of it ever really broke through, I guess, the the uh the pop culture zyge. Um, you know, it it's no the the Obamas didn't come up with the Lulu limit, if you will, blues blues, um, something that's stuck to the ribs of the American culture. And that's uh that's I I think that's kind of hard to do if you're the Obama. You know what I mean? Um you it wouldn't be easy for you to recruit top talent uh writers, producers, um, creatives, uh animators, and they just really didn't do that. And I don't know if that was just like a creative directional uh approach from the Obamas. But you know, Netflix is obviously known um for you know coming out with either uh political drama, uh like House of Cards, something that just sort of takes over the water cooler conversation for years. Um and you know, they Obamas just didn't deliver that. Uh so this just felt like homies looking out for homies. Democrats really do have it really, really good. And it's this deal always felt like a byproduct of that. Um, you know, i to the to the same extent, you know, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, like uh they they're interesting, but are they worth, you know, multi-million dollar, multi-year uh production deal from Netflix? Probably not. But they got it anyway, and Netflix is slowly backed out of that as well. Yeah, that's like it's if this was if this was if this was mutually beneficial, any of these deals, Netflix would continue to do them. It's not like they don't have money. Netflix just gave the NAFLAC$650 million for his AI company. Netflix just got$2.8 billion from Paramount because Paramount beat them out of buying Warner Brothers. And Paramount actually did itself a lot of favors by going to Warner Brothers and saying, um, if you accept our deal and not Netflix's deal, we will pay the fee, the the the breakup fee for Netflix, which ended up being 2.8 uh billion dollars. So anyway, um, you know, it's just it's there are a lot of politically connected. I mean, being a Democrat j is is is the ultimate affirmative action card. Um and there are a lot of actors who continue to get work and get production deals just because their politics happens to be um the the acceptable quote unquote politics, uh any entertainment business. It reminds me of the line.
SPEAKER_00It reminds me of the line from Mel Brooks' History of the World Part One. It's good to be the king.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. It's it's it's just as it's as simple as that, basically. Uh, you know, as it you know, as Spotify gave Barack Obama like uh um a carte blanche deal. And uh you may recall it was like a series where Barack Obama basically sat down in a cabin at a table with Bruce Springsteen for like six episodes. It was boring.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_02You know, time I'll never get back. I was excited for Michelle Obama's podcast. I didn't know she was hosting it with her brother, which is like the human equivalent to a jar of mayonnaise. Um I guess the I guess the mayonnaise is brown. I don't know. Uh okay, he's the he's the human equivalent to a jar of Nutella. Dude is beyond boring. And Michelle Obama is not much better, but they'll continue to uh have that deal. I think it's with I can't even remember who that production partnership is with, but they'll continue to get it. It doesn't, it doesn't mean that the products that they make are entertaining or that they're good, that that each episode you can you you're sure to go viral. Like Joe Rogan gives you that. He certainly gives me that, and I see it. I read this stuff all day. Um Bill Maher sat down with Woody Harrison. They have a a pot shop in California. It's been up and running for years. The first 20 minutes is Bill Maher and Woody Harrison in the 420 episode yesterday talking about how it's almost impossible to do business in California, particularly if you're in the marijuana business. Um, just just clips everywhere. Anyway, uh so if you're struggling in life and you want a fast track to success, just you know, become a Democrat, I guess. I don't know.
SPEAKER_00Uh yeah, no thanks. By the way, today, since yesterday was 4 20, I don't know if you know this or not. I don't know if it's on purpose, but today is keep off the grass day.
SPEAKER_02Uh is that like an internationally recognized day?
SPEAKER_00Well, every day has its own thing. You have to go to check a day. Uh, and every day has its own thing, like kindergarten day is today, creativity and innovation day, and it so happens to also be keep off the grass day.
SPEAKER_02So I'm just saying that started. Was that day uh initiated by the old man yelling at clouds association?
SPEAKER_00I don't know. I didn't do a deep dive on the history of my grass, yes. I'm thinking. All right, so tell me about uh uh how Nancy Nancy Sinatra is like all bent out of shape with Donald Trump. I want to hear that story. What's going on there?
SPEAKER_02Generally, when when the president takes to his favorite social media platform, Truth Social, and he I guess his his White House production company, they make the the video or the meme, and they put the music in the background. We've seen this time and time again.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Um, you know, it just NWA song, uh Jack White, the White Stripes. I mean, the list Stevie Wonder. Uh I mean, it's he he doesn't care. Um, and he used Frank Sinatra's famous uh My Way, and Nancy Sinatra has been an anti-Trump rabbit screaming celebrity for many, many years. She's actually one of our favorites. Um because I think if she's like she was like one of the first uh Trump derangement syndrome converts. We didn't really have a name for the diagnosis at the time, but she so clearly was suffering from it for the longest time. Um and we sort of felt sorry for her because it just seemed involuntary. There was no real rhyme or reason to her reactions. Um do TV interviews and just would have nothing laudatory at all to say. Like if you can't come up with like one positive thing to say um about a president of the United States that won not one but two elections, then there's there's more than one screwless. Uh so anyway, the president sends out the meme over the weekend, and and Nancy Sinatra does what Nancy Sinatra does. I I mean I say all that to say she never really needed an excuse that would be so personal as the president that she hates um sharing a meme with her father, one of her father's most successful songs in it, but the president did, and she just she just was like a hyena man.
SPEAKER_00Um I'm here for it. I like it because the the TDS, I will tell you, is very entertaining. It's on full display every day.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I I yeah um what else is on our list? I think there like that that's that's an old example because this has been happening with Trump. He started running for president in summer 2015. The fact that Netsy Sinatra is like it's it's like an old trick, you know what I mean? Yeah um like how are you still how are you still being turned into an embarrassing crazy person um over a decade later? Um I i I mean, don't get me wrong, I I agree with you. We love to cover it and everything else, but I mean it's personal. It was her father's right.
SPEAKER_00At this point in her career, all she has is her dad's last name and her hatred for Trump. So she exists purely on those two things. So there's that. Oh, okay. All right, before we go, uh tell me how we're living uh in this Trump era is like the Hunger Games. What's that all about? Because that sounds interesting. I don't know.
SPEAKER_02Well, yeah, it just again, you know, just kind of divorced from reality. But uh how many how many people actually know Josh Hutcherson, the actor? Well, he started a couple different uh franchises. His most successful was the Hunger Game, uh, alongside uh Jennifer Jennifer, so maybe Jennifer's Jennifer, I can't remember the other Jennifer's last name. Is it Jennifer Garner? Jennifer, that's right. Anyway, uh this shot shot was uh he did an interview with GQ and was sort of asked about contemporary politics. And he compared uh, you know, he compared the political environment in America today to that of the Hunger Games. Um and I actually looked up, I was like, as I saw it and as I was assigning the story, I was like, well, how big is Josh Hutcherson's house? And wouldn't you know it? Yeah, two years ago, some professional real estate company uh got some 4K cameras and toured his sprawling LA mansion, which he bought after selling another sprawling LA mansion. Um so a little bit off key there, Mr. Hutchinson, but nevertheless, why introduce logic and reason when you could just go say some dumb sugar honey iced tea like he did?
SPEAKER_00Why do people keep asking these idiots what they feel about today's political climate? What do you expect them to do?
SPEAKER_02When's the last time you read a GQ uh interview with any celebrity? Take your pick. They gotta get thousands of words in that article, man.
SPEAKER_00Unlike celebrity? Listen, unlike Playboy, I only check out GQ for the pictures. Well, for style points. Style point!
SPEAKER_02Sure, yeah, no, I I did the same thing. I used Windows in my head.
SPEAKER_00Hi, goodbye. Thank you so much for your time today. I appreciate you.
SPEAKER_02Absolutely. I won a lot of prizes.
SPEAKER_00Yes, you did your own hot and Bright Bart. Check him out online. You can always go to Bright Bart.com slash entertainment. He is the entertainment. Are you the entertainment director? I think you are. He he's like the from the cruise chip of the Love Boat. What's her name? Yeah, that's him.
