  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_04: So uh this individual, that's how this individual got started was viral memes that got uh I believe his inspiration was based on videos that were circulating before like the internet was like really a big thing, and um like direct to consumer kind of an idea of like sending people like funny videos uh that were viral moments, I guess.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_04: That was part of the inspiration for Joe Francis.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_03: Girls gone wild?
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_03: Yes, it was a deep cut.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_04: Yes, I mean you without hesitation.

• 5:55
  SPEAKER_03: How old are you?

  SPEAKER_03: I'm uh born in 1990.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_03: So I I I grew up I'm like, I'm pretty weird when it comes to certain like I don't know, like I grew up watching uh, I wouldn't say watching Girls Gone Wild, but one of my first earliest pervy moments was me and my cousin went to the video store and uh we we had my aunt rent us a girls gone wild.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_03: We were like, my cousin was like 12, I was like 10.
• 6:21

  SPEAKER_03: We're like, just pay for it.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_03: We did the Jedi mind trick on her.

  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, that's not one of my proudest moments, but you you probably got one of the first videos then.
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_04: If you were 10 when it because that was probably about when it came out, it probably came out in like 2000, I think.
• 6:54

  SPEAKER_04: I remember, I remember it.

  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, the commercials were intense, and they're it felt like they were 20-minute commercials, like yeah, that changed me.
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_04: Uh shit.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_00: At like two, three o'clock in the morning, they had whole hour-long infomercials.
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_04: And then, so was that your gateway drug?
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_03: Um maybe a little bit.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know.

  SPEAKER_03: I like bodybuilder chicks because of her China would swallow you with her vagina.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_04: This is where I go, I don't know.

• 7:59
  SPEAKER_04: I mean, Hulk and obviously, and Joe Francis was a sleaze ball, I heard though.
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_04: I heard a lot of stuff came out about well, we're not gonna talk about the sli like the super sleazy stuff because he has some pretty bad convictions.
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that's what I was saying.
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_03: I don't support him now, you know.
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_03: Like I don't want you to do it.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I'm not like a you know, Joe's not my homie.
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_04: Well, you might have participated in some of his bad acts because allegedly some of the girls that were videotaped may or may not have not, you know, may or may not have been of age.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_03: Hi Karama.
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_04: I was 10.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_00: I was 10 years old.
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_00: I was not of age.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_04: Add it to the list of charges.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_03: I mean I was 10.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_04: No, so yeah, so he he has a couple things going on that I thought would be interesting for today.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_04: So one of the things was kind of boring, but um, so he was charged uh in Reno, but it the the court got venue changed to California.
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_04: Um, but uh that he under-reported taxes.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_04: So the feds were saying rule number one.
• 9:08
  SPEAKER_04: Feds were saying that he under-reported taxes to the tune of twenty million dollars.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it later becomes that that the government acknowledges that he actually under-reported it by five hundred and sixty-three thousand dollars.
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_04: Quite a bit of a difference.
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_00: Uh and I didn't realize they made that much money off of that shit.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, yeah.
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_04: Think about it.
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_04: I mean, uh he was coming out with different uh you know videos because it was like it would be Cancun, it'd be Hawaii, whatever, Florida.
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_04: Um he then did like a bunch of merch too.
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, merch.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't even consider that.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you would see GGW shirts everywhere.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_04: I feel like he then merged into like interview series like in the bus, which also seemed very creepy.
• 9:52
  SPEAKER_04: Um, but like he I like going and then also I'm sure there was like appearances, you know, they would yeah, they were probably paying him for public appearances back in the day.
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_03: That's a good point.
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_04: Right, right, right.
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_03: Um, so sponsorships and stuff too.
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_04: For sure, for sure.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_04: Uh, and this was he was like one of the proprietors of this type.
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_04: I mean, it wasn't necessarily Playboy, because I was the proprietor of like magazines, right?
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_04: But it was not it was softcore porn, so it's not hardcore, but it was just like that gray area, right?
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_00: It was like the limbo was like, whoa, where you could still put it on HBO, right?
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_04: It and it could still be on channel 11 at 2 a.m.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_04: as a commercial, yeah.
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_03: So you get away with a lot of stuff back in the day.
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, for sure, for sure.
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, the Carlos Jr.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_03: commercials gave me a sexual awakening as a kid.
• 10:41
  SPEAKER_03: The what?
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_03: Carlos Jr.
• 10:43
  SPEAKER_03: commercials?
• 10:43
  SPEAKER_03: You know what I mean?
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_00: I grew up in Virginia, Carls Jr.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_00: Carls Jr.
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_00: on the East Coast, it's called Hardy's Hardees.
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_03: They used to have some like baddies, you know, washing cars and eating famous stars.
• 10:53
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it would be That's fire.
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_04: Jenny McCarthy, I think, Carmen Aktra.
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it was wild, bro.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_04: Paris Hilton.
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_00: Sex sells, dude.
• 11:00
  SPEAKER_04: Kim Kardashian.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_04: Can't think of I'm sure there's a few others that are high high level, but yeah, it was it used to be like a thing to try to be the Carl's Jr.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_04: like girl for these commercials.
• 11:13
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, they were they were out of control.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_04: That was early 2000s so far, yeah.
• 11:18
  SPEAKER_04: But anyways, um so yeah, so instead of going to trial, and this is around 2007, instead of going to trial, um he on felony charges he entered a plea agreement and he had two misdemeanor accounts for filing false tax returns and one count of bribing jail workers.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_04: Bribed um yeah, for um exchange for food and other favors.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_04: Other favors is not clarified, so I don't know.
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_00: But we know we know.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, and then his sentence was uh 301 days in jail, which was already served.
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_04: Uh he had to pay$250,000 in restitution.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_00: And now that's just for the monetary crimes.
• 12:00
  SPEAKER_04: Well, that's for underreporting his taxes.
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_04: Right.
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so it's specifically for the taxes, the 301 days.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_04: That is that's my understanding.
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, he has multiple.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_00: That's what I'm saying.
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_00: We we had said that he had more serious charges.
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_04: Uh I don't think that these overlapped.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_04: These these are first in time.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_00: So those were a different sentence altogether.
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_04: I'm not familiar.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_04: I didn't I I only saw what they were.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_04: I didn't get into it.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_04: You can look it up for yourself.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_04: It's not good.
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_04: But um, yeah.
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_03: He's no bueno.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_04: He's no good.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_03: He's a bad hombre.
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_04: And he lives in Mexico.
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_00: I'm learning all of this.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_00: That's perfect.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_04: So you used his uh native language now.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_03: He's no good, that guy.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_04: Um, and then he had a year of supervised uh he was on supervised release.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_04: So that was that was his 2007.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_04: Now what's interesting about that I found is that um right after the interdisciplinary agreement, the IRS went in and um wanted to get back taxes.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_04: So so there's two different things going on underreporting taxes and not paying taxes.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_04: So he underre reported and then didn't pay.
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_04: And then I allegedly didn't pay.
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_04: Um so they froze his assets.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_04: They did a thing called jeopardy assessment.
• 13:19
  SPEAKER_04: So basically they were able to go in immediately and freeze his assets.
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_04: And this is a special thing I didn't know about.
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_04: I had to look it up.
• 13:27
  SPEAKER_04: Um basically it's when the IRS believes it's the only way to preserve assets for satisfaction of tax obligations.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_04: So they're afraid that the person is gonna leave the country or deplete their funds before there's an adjudication on the issue.
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_04: Immediately froze it, yeah.
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_04: So um they filed a lien for$33.8 million for three years of back taxes.
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_04: God damn.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_03: That's crazy.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_04: But then it's crazy here, as it always does.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_04: He then starts to do this thing which I call the blame game.
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_04: So he says that his CPA stole millions of dollars from the company, then contacted the IRS as a part of a whistleblowing plot.
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_04: Because I guess if you whistleblow and it's found that whatever they were doing was wrong, you also get a uh an award or a reward rather, a reward from the IRS for turning people in.
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_04: So so he allegedly stole money and then basically turned Joe in so that way he wouldn't have to like pay his money back allegedly.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_04: All alleged, none of this is proved.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_04: There's no convictions of this.
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_04: Uh, I don't even want to say the CPA's name, but yeah, so yeah.
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_04: Um, so all I could find on this issue was that the government witness, uh, a key government witness had withheld information from prosecutors.
• 14:50
  SPEAKER_04: So it seems like there might be some truth to it, but not complete truth.
• 14:55
  SPEAKER_04: But basically he's saying, like, my accountants did my books, I shouldn't be responsible because I hired them.
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_04: But then you're in charge ultimately, and you're the one that said.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it's your money.
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_04: Right, yeah.
• 15:07
  SPEAKER_04: Right.
• 15:08
  SPEAKER_04: So um one of the things also I found interesting is that during a court-ordered uh mediation session, apparently uh well let me back up.
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_04: When you went to court, Tonyo, did you how would you dress for court?
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_04: Did you dress like nice or oh I was in jail jumpsuit?
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, okay.
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_04: So you didn't even you bypassed that situation.
• 15:29
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I didn't have a that was it.
• 15:32
  SPEAKER_00: When I went into the courtroom, I was in a fucking Chesapeake City jail fucking blue jumpsuit.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_04: Well, Mikey, assuming I'm assuming you haven't I got a DUI before.
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_00: Mikey's definitely been to court at least once.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_04: You don't you don't need to confess any, you don't even have to confess here.
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_04: But okay, so when you went to court, were you wearing a suit?
• 15:49
  SPEAKER_04: What did you wear?
• 15:49
  SPEAKER_03: I looked like I was ready for my bar mitzvah, you know.
• 15:54
  SPEAKER_03: I was all ready to go.
• 15:55
  SPEAKER_03: You had a yamaka too?
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_03: No, I don't know.
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_04: But you had a suit on, right?
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_04: That seems fresh.
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_04: Right.
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_04: You want to look you want to look presentable, you want to look professional, you want to look like you're taking it seriously, right?
• 16:08
  SPEAKER_04: So apparently, allegedly, from one of the reports I read, um at one of the court mandated mediations, he showed up four hours late.
• 16:18
  SPEAKER_04: I can wearing sweatshorts and uh a baseball hat backwards, barefoot.
• 16:27
  SPEAKER_04: And then at one point barefoot?
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_03: Is he mogly?
• 16:31
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, what the fuck?
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_00: Jungle book the people versus Tarzan.
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_00: What the fuck?
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_04: And then apparently he put his dirty feet on the mediation table.
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_04: So this guy didn't care.
• 16:45
  SPEAKER_04: He was like, I'm just that Caucasian bold.
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_03: Damn.
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, right.
• 16:49
  SPEAKER_03: That's that Caucasian work.
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 16:54
  SPEAKER_04: So that was his introduction into the world of the court system.
• 17:01
  SPEAKER_04: But then a couple years later, he gets himself into trouble.
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_04: Now, this is not a criminal case.
• 17:06
  SPEAKER_04: This is not a fraud, this is not a scam.
• 17:08
  SPEAKER_04: I just thought it was very interesting because it is a legal matter.
• 17:11
  SPEAKER_04: Okay.
• 17:12
  SPEAKER_04: Uh, do you know who Steve Wynne is?
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_03: His name sounds familiar.
• 17:16
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know him like uh isn't he with Wynne hotels?
• 17:19
  SPEAKER_04: That's right.
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_04: So he owns, he's like basically owner operator of Wynn Hotel, uh the Entrage Hotel.
• 17:28
  SPEAKER_04: Uh I think there's a couple other ones that he's uh sleaze bag too.
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_03: Allegedly.
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_04: Allegedly, yeah.
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_04: Allegedly, that is correct.
• 17:36
  SPEAKER_04: That's my understanding.
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_04: Um so anyway, so he runs a casino.
• 17:43
  SPEAKER_04: And apparently Joe liked to gamble.
• 17:46
  SPEAKER_04: And apparently he ran up a debt with markers up to two million dollars.
• 17:49
  SPEAKER_04: Now I didn't know exactly what a marker was.
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_04: Do you know what a marker is?
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_04: So it's a term that you've I've heard before, like in casino, whatever.
• 17:56
  SPEAKER_04: So it's basically a short-term loan with no interest.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_04: So that way you're enticing your uh patrons to gamble, right?
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_04: Like you people that you know are quote unquote good for it, right?
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_04: So that way they don't have to run to the ATM and give you cash.
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_04: They can buy the money later, right?
• 18:11
  SPEAKER_04: So like afterpay.
• 18:13
  SPEAKER_04: Exactly.
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_04: Right.
• 18:16
  SPEAKER_04: So he apparently runs up a two million dollar tab and then Wynne takes him to uh debt collection court, whatever that is, to try to collect the money.
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_04: And during these proceedings, uh Joe Francis says uh that he has been informed that Steve Wynne has sent an email saying that he wants to use a shovel to hit him in the back of the head and bury him in the in the desert.
• 18:46
  SPEAKER_03: That's pretty That's a crazy threat.
• 18:48
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 18:49
  SPEAKER_03: So on tool and shit.
• 18:52
  SPEAKER_03: It's very specific, like it's like let me stop by Home Depot, maybe maybe Lowe's real quick, decide between a flathead and a speed language.
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 19:03
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, by the way, so so Wynne was uh he's a CEO of other resorts Mirage, which I think is gone now.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_04: Bellagio also.
• 19:09
  SPEAKER_04: So back to that.
• 19:10
  SPEAKER_04: Anyways, so he uh Wynn is like I never said that.
• 19:14
  SPEAKER_04: That's not what I said.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_04: Quincy Jones is in the middle of this.
• 19:18
  SPEAKER_04: Now, do you guys know who Quincy Jones is?
• 19:19
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, absolutely.
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_00: How the fuck did he get in the middle of it?
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_00: Do you know who Quincy Jones is?
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, he's a uh record producer, yeah.
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_04: Oh record producer.
• 19:26
  SPEAKER_03: Music producer produced a bunch of stuff.
• 19:27
  SPEAKER_04: Like just stuff?
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_03: A bunch of classics.
• 19:30
  SPEAKER_04: Classics?
• 19:30
  SPEAKER_03: Uh-huh.
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_04: Uh how about Michael Jackson's authority wall, thriller, yeah.
• 19:35
  SPEAKER_03: He's a beast.
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_04: Bad.
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_04: I mean, only three of like the biggest uh records in Rashida Jones is his daughter.
• 19:42
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, she's uh outstanding.
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_04: She's yeah, she's one of my first crushes.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, she's uh she's uh she's stunning and she's a very smart lady.
• 19:53
  SPEAKER_04: So I think he has a lot of kids actually.
• 19:55
  SPEAKER_04: But I don't know.
• 19:56
  SPEAKER_04: Rashida, I guess, just got the lucky draw and she became a successful actress.
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_04: Anyways, so Wynne says, no, no, no, uh, I'm gonna take you to court, get my money back, and I never said that, right?
• 20:11
  SPEAKER_04: Uh Joe Francis says, Well, Quincy Jones told me about the emails, and that's how I know these emails exist.
• 20:17
  SPEAKER_04: But Quincy Jones is Joe Francis's neighbor at this time.
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_03: Oh damn.
• 20:22
  SPEAKER_04: And that's where I'm like, how do you feel?
• 20:25
  SPEAKER_04: You're Quincy Jones.
• 20:27
  SPEAKER_04: You produced like basically art and music, you know what I mean?
• 20:31
  SPEAKER_04: And you're one of the, if not the most nominated individuals for Grammys.
• 20:36
  SPEAKER_03: One of the most prolific producers ever.
• 20:38
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 20:38
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, hands down.
• 20:39
  SPEAKER_04: He's a composer, he's all the things.
• 20:42
  SPEAKER_04: And your neighbor's Joe Francis.
• 20:44
  SPEAKER_04: Like I don't know.
• 20:46
  SPEAKER_04: You know what I mean?
• 20:47
  SPEAKER_04: What are your thoughts?
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_03: We did have a lot of kids, so you know, he'd like to party.
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_03: He'd like to pr you know.
• 20:55
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, I don't know.
• 20:58
  SPEAKER_00: I don't I don't I think the best thing about my house is that I don't know any of my neighbors.
• 21:03
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know my neighbors either.
• 21:05
  SPEAKER_00: And like I like to think that no matter what level I'm on of success, like I wouldn't even know if like fucking the rock lives next to me.
• 21:14
  SPEAKER_00: Like, I wouldn't care.
• 21:16
  SPEAKER_00: Stay off of my little square and we're cool.
• 21:19
  SPEAKER_00: I don't give a fuck who it is.
• 21:21
  SPEAKER_04: But this is most likely in Beverly Hills.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_04: So like you're not they probably partied.
• 21:25
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, no, they probably did.
• 21:26
  SPEAKER_04: I know, but it it's gotta be a little bit interesting, like where you're like the old guard and the new guard.
• 21:31
  SPEAKER_04: You know what I mean?
• 21:32
  SPEAKER_04: Like when when that happens, when you're like when your neighbor probably had been like Desi Arnaz and now it's Joe Francis, you know what I mean?
• 21:40
  SPEAKER_04: No, I mean I I'm assuming I that's not the truth.
• 21:43
  SPEAKER_04: I'm just saying, like somebody of that caliber.
• 21:44
  SPEAKER_04: Like he had somebody like some old Hollywood legend live next to you now, it's Joe Francis.
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_00: Like, I mean, hey, as I one point in time, I guess he was technically a sort of a you know, a legend.
• 21:57
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I think I think more than anything, it's just as I guess as long As he can afford the house and he can pay the bills, who cares, right?
• 22:02
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, he wasn't paying his taxes, of course he could afford the house.
• 22:12
  SPEAKER_04: One of his arguments was that oh, so basically, sorry, let me go back.
• 22:15
  SPEAKER_04: Wynne wants that two million dollars.
• 22:17
  SPEAKER_04: Francis says he tried he wanted to kill me or hit me in the head and bury me, and Wynne's like, no, that's absurd.
• 22:23
  SPEAKER_04: So Wynn files a defamation claim, I based on it.
• 22:28
  SPEAKER_04: And uh but but being that he's a public figure, it's an extra element that you have to prove that it was basically a knowingly false statement or a reckless disregard for the truth.
• 22:38
  SPEAKER_04: And so Wynne has to, if he's gonna take this to jury trial, his attorneys have to prove that element.
• 22:43
  SPEAKER_04: And it's a it's a tough standard.
• 22:45
  SPEAKER_04: Um it's really, you know, you have to prove that that uh Joe Francis was knowingly lying when he said it, right?
• 22:54
  SPEAKER_04: So they end up having to bring uh Quincy Jones in as a witness.
• 22:59
  SPEAKER_00: That's crazy.
• 22:59
  SPEAKER_04: And when he and Quincy Jones is like, I I don't I don't remember any of these emails, I'm not involved.
• 23:06
  SPEAKER_04: Like, this is absurd that I'm even being called as a witness.
• 23:10
  SPEAKER_00: I produce thriller, goddammit.
• 23:11
  SPEAKER_00: I shouldn't even be here.
• 23:13
  SPEAKER_04: Right, right.
• 23:14
  SPEAKER_04: So um Francis claims it's a litigation privilege.
• 23:18
  SPEAKER_04: Now, when there's a lawsuit going on, you can uh you can pretty much say whatever you want as a la as it pertains to the to the court case, right?
• 23:28
  SPEAKER_04: I don't know if you know this, but that that's something you can do.
• 23:31
  SPEAKER_04: Um but if so, if you do that, now I I would like to propose something.
• 23:37
  SPEAKER_04: Uh if if the producer Tony would like to do this, at this point in time you can edit this part out if you would like, but you can you can move me over and put a box here and we can put my husband explaining what happens in this instance.
• 23:51
  SPEAKER_00: That would be great.
• 23:52
  SPEAKER_04: And I can give you a kind of an idea right now, but you can cut this part out and then we can just like this.
• 24:01
  SPEAKER_04: Uh so if you have a lawsuit, my understanding is because I don't do this area of law, but when you do this, if like we were involved in a lawsuit and then I was like, uh, you know, Tony is a swindler.
• 24:13
  SPEAKER_04: Swindler.
• 24:14
  SPEAKER_04: He swindles his customers out of money.
• 24:16
  SPEAKER_00: That's a strong accusation, but okay, carry on.
• 24:18
  SPEAKER_04: But if we're involved in a lawsuit and then you sue me for defamation, my lawyer can then do what's called an anti-slap.
• 24:27
  SPEAKER_04: Called anti-slap file anti-slap complaint and uh get attorney's fees because it is actually not defamation, because it's a privilege within litigation to be able to say what you want during litigation.
• 24:42
  SPEAKER_04: So sometimes I think it people get away with stuff because of that.
• 24:45
  SPEAKER_04: Like in the Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni case, I don't know if you know that, but basically that was one of the things that they were trying to say is that there was like a defamation, but it was because of privileged uh litigation, it it goes nowhere.
• 24:56
  SPEAKER_04: So but it carries with it attorney's fees.
• 24:58
  SPEAKER_04: So it's very um attorneys that are filing the anti-slop like it because then they can get their attorney's fees back.
• 25:05
  SPEAKER_04: So, anyways, you can cut all that out.
• 25:07
  SPEAKER_04: It's all nerd nerd alert stuff.
• 25:09
  SPEAKER_00: But, anyways, all right, so you now we're leaving it.
• 25:16
  SPEAKER_04: Perfect, perfect, perfect.
• 25:17
  SPEAKER_04: Um, so basically the judge was like, no dice.
• 25:20
  SPEAKER_04: Uh, this wasn't you, even though you think it's part of it, you what you said it was in the middle of a debt hearing, and uh you never you said you were gonna pursue a uh restraining order and you never did.
• 25:34
  SPEAKER_04: So you're not getting the litigation privilege.
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_04: I don't know, that's interesting.
• 25:38
  SPEAKER_04: But it was Steve Wynn also said that Francis said it to TMV TMZ as well.
• 25:43
  SPEAKER_04: So on that aspect, that would be outside of the litigation privilege as well, potentially.
• 25:49
  SPEAKER_04: So yeah.
• 25:50
  SPEAKER_04: Um, but yeah, so anyways, he ends up going, they go the distance, and the court, the jury ended up uh awarding Steve Wynn something like 20 million dollars.
• 25:59
  SPEAKER_03: Damn, I know.
• 26:01
  SPEAKER_04: So, like if he would have just paid the two million dollars or even probably worked out a deal with them, you know what I mean?
• 26:06
  SPEAKER_04: Like if he would have been like, hey, I don't have the two now, I'll give you one, and then you know they could have been give you a couple of DVDs on the side, we'll be good, you know what I mean?
• 26:14
  SPEAKER_04: Like uncut DVDs.
• 26:15
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah, act all crazy, go all barefoot, you know.
• 26:22
  SPEAKER_04: Anyway, so that's my story.
• 26:24
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, so basically, um they knew that the uh Steve Wynn's uh sorry, uh Steve Wynne's attorneys were able to prove that uh Francis knew that the story was false or had recklessly disregarded whether it was true.
• 26:39
  SPEAKER_00: Damn, that's crazy.
• 26:40
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's crazy.
• 26:41
  SPEAKER_04: Anyways, what do you got for us?
• 26:43
  SPEAKER_00: Uh a quick little tidbit um I've read something stupid online and I just wanted to share.
• 26:50
  SPEAKER_00: Uh so a guy, I I forget where he was at.
• 26:55
  SPEAKER_00: I want to say it was Florida.
• 26:56
  SPEAKER_00: It's usually Florida.
• 26:58
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but he broke into a pet store.
• 27:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 27:02
  SPEAKER_00: And he stole a cat.
• 27:05
  SPEAKER_00: And then he took the cat with him.
• 27:08
  SPEAKER_00: Can you guess where he went?
• 27:10
  SPEAKER_04: He was in Florida?
• 27:11
  SPEAKER_00: I think it was Florida, don't quote me, but when he left the pet store that he heisted a cat from, where do you think he went after that?
• 27:20
  SPEAKER_00: Home?
• 27:22
  SPEAKER_04: Uh he went to McDonald's.
• 27:27
  SPEAKER_00: To rob a bank.
• 27:29
  SPEAKER_00: Oh wow.
• 27:30
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 27:30
  SPEAKER_00: He then he took the cat with him to rob a bank.
• 27:36
  SPEAKER_00: That's crazy.
• 27:37
  SPEAKER_00: He gave the teller the cat and then slipped her a note that said this is a robbery type shit.
• 27:47
  SPEAKER_00: He's mentally ill.
• 27:49
  SPEAKER_00: To say the absolute least.
• 27:51
  SPEAKER_00: Like, bro, you didn't take your Lexapro this morning.
• 27:54
  SPEAKER_04: To be fair, I think it means that he's a cat burglar.
• 27:58
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he's a cat.
• 28:02
  SPEAKER_04: He's on the prowl.
• 28:03
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 28:03
  SPEAKER_00: Like, what a crazy.
• 28:05
  SPEAKER_00: I don't remember if it said he was on drugs or not, but like I feel like there had to be like some PCP involved or something.
• 28:12
  SPEAKER_00: That motherfucker thought he was bringing a goddamn tiger with him.
• 28:18
  SPEAKER_03: To quote Hank Hill, that boy ain't right.
• 28:23
  SPEAKER_00: Something wasn't wired correctly because that's a that's a very quickly escalating series of events.
• 28:31
  SPEAKER_00: Wow.
• 28:32
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I got away with breaking into this pet store.
• 28:34
  SPEAKER_00: Let me try my luck at Robin a bank.
• 28:37
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, get that feline involved.
• 28:41
  SPEAKER_00: The cat's day now.
• 28:43
  SPEAKER_00: Hell yeah.
• 28:43
  SPEAKER_00: You think pet stores have guard dogs?
• 28:46
  SPEAKER_04: Not anymore.
• 28:47
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 28:48
  SPEAKER_00: There's not even pet stores.
• 28:49
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, there's not even pet shops no more.
• 28:51
  SPEAKER_00: Really?
• 28:51
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 28:52
  SPEAKER_03: Not really.
• 28:53
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I never I didn't like going in pet stores.
• 28:55
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, not in California.
• 28:56
  SPEAKER_00: It was depressing.
• 28:57
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 28:58
  SPEAKER_00: They used to have a pet store at the mall when I was a kid and I fucking hated it.
• 29:01
  SPEAKER_03: In New York, they got a bunch of crazy pet stores.
• 29:04
  SPEAKER_03: Like iguanas and stuff like that.
• 29:05
  SPEAKER_03: Like just, I don't know, just a bunch of dogs.
• 29:08
  SPEAKER_00: Welcome to Ostriches Aurora.
• 29:11
  SPEAKER_04: I had one time read an article that there was a person in New York who had I think like a two-bedroom apartment and had an alligator in one room and like a like I want to say like a tiger.
• 29:26
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, like a baby tiger or something.
• 29:27
  SPEAKER_04: In the other one.
• 29:28
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, people are crazy with their exotic pets.
• 29:30
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 29:31
  SPEAKER_03: 100% was a white guy.
• 29:32
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I know.
• 29:33
  SPEAKER_04: All I know is not only the scariness of like sleeping with that situation, but like their poops must have been massive, you know?
• 29:40
  SPEAKER_00: Like and feeding them.
• 29:42
  SPEAKER_04: How do you afford to feed them?
• 29:43
  SPEAKER_04: Like that's gotta be a lot of meat.
• 29:45
  SPEAKER_00: New York has a lot of rats.
• 29:47
  SPEAKER_00: I'm sure they figured it out from there.
• 29:49
  SPEAKER_03: I know.
