Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: The wickedly talented Adela Zeem. It's one more thing.
- 0:05Speaker 2: I'm one more thing.
- 0:11Speaker 1: Or whatever it was that John Travolta family see said
- 0:14Speaker 1: at the award show.
- 0:15Speaker 2: And I think he was Adell does Eem and he was.
- 0:19Speaker 1: Talking about Iggy Azalea. Wasn't he No, No, he wasn't no.
- 0:24Speaker 2: Uh a, Dina Manzelle.
- 0:27Speaker 1: Oh, you're right.
- 0:28Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 0:28Speaker 1: Anyway, it doesn't make a difference to my premise here.
- 0:31Speaker 1: This is just another hard to pronounce name that I
- 0:33Speaker 1: don't know. Iggy Azalea is the number one Only Fans
- 0:38Speaker 1: model currently is a musician of some sort. I don't
- 0:43Speaker 1: know what she does on Only Fans. She makes nine
- 0:48Speaker 1: point two million dollars a month.
- 0:53Speaker 2: A month.
- 0:54Speaker 1: The age we're living in is like the gold Rush
- 0:59Speaker 1: and someone. I mean, it just it seems like the
- 1:03Speaker 1: the the supply and demand can't continue it the way
- 1:07Speaker 1: it is. It's just it's so new. Things haven't shaken out,
- 1:10Speaker 1: because at some point, I think things got to shake out,
- 1:13Speaker 1: don't they. There's no reason one young hot chick makes
- 1:16Speaker 1: nine point two million dollars a month when there are
- 1:19Speaker 1: unlimited young hot chicks. I mean, at some point I
- 1:21Speaker 1: would think that that's not really what I was My
- 1:25Speaker 1: main focus was going to be I was going to
- 1:27Speaker 1: talk about this person here.
- 1:29Speaker 2: I just to answer that. I think it would have
- 1:32Speaker 2: happened already. There are undeniably few women. It reminds me
- 1:40Speaker 2: in a weird way of like the world of podcasting.
- 1:43Speaker 1: Which always got to teak about here in a second.
- 1:45Speaker 2: Oh okay, interesting if similar dynamics. You've gotta be good
- 1:52Speaker 2: at it or like sexually attractive or whatever. You've got
- 1:57Speaker 2: to be willing to put the time and effort into it,
- 1:59Speaker 2: such as it is laying around in your underwear or
- 2:01Speaker 2: committing various acts or whatever. And then you've got to
- 2:05Speaker 2: be known. And that's why you know, like they're Joe Rogan,
- 2:11Speaker 2: who's got you know, a very good podcast. Well it's
- 2:14Speaker 2: very popular, so self evidently it's it's good to a
- 2:17Speaker 2: lot of people. Well, he was also the host of
- 2:20Speaker 2: Fear Factor and a big mma guy. He had a
- 2:23Speaker 2: built in magnet, he had a built in name and everything.
- 2:27Speaker 2: And so it is in the hottie industry.
- 2:31Speaker 1: Yeah, so here's one of your hotties. She doesn't do
- 2:35Speaker 1: anything other than like wear tight clothing and occasionally bikinis.
- 2:39Speaker 1: She's a virgin and a devout Christian who goes to
- 2:45Speaker 1: mass regularly. But for whatever reason, she caught on. Her
- 2:48Speaker 1: name is Sophie Rain and she last year or this
- 2:57Speaker 1: is how much money she has made so far. This
- 2:59Speaker 1: is her total net worth at this point. She's twenty
- 3:01Speaker 1: years old. Started this when she was eighteen. She has
- 3:06Speaker 1: a net worth of just over eighty million dollars.
- 3:10Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I remember when she first came.
- 3:13Speaker 1: And she doesn't radar screen and she's attractive, but she
- 3:16Speaker 1: is not I'll see five more attractive women today today,
- 3:22Speaker 1: just going to the mall.
- 3:24Speaker 2: Yeah, well you got the wrong picture. Well I'm looking
- 3:27Speaker 2: at it, built like a brick out house.
- 3:30Speaker 1: You gotta go to the mall more often. So are
- 3:32Speaker 1: lots of people, that's my point. Yeah, so are lots
- 3:35Speaker 1: of people. I just don't understand them all. I just
- 3:37Speaker 1: don't know one catches on over another. I really really
- 3:40Speaker 1: don't get it. But clearly they do. Eighty million dollars.
- 3:43Speaker 1: She's twenty years old. She doesn't even do anything.
- 3:46Speaker 2: Really, no, she just well she sells the vision of
- 3:51Speaker 2: the version the Virgin Horror. That's like timeless. I am
- 3:57Speaker 2: pure and innocent. I am not a tran pep will
- 4:00Speaker 2: not get a disease from me, but I will do
- 4:03Speaker 2: anything with you anything. It's like the greatest male fantasy
- 4:07Speaker 2: in the history of the world. I guess.
- 4:09Speaker 1: I mean that's true. How that translates to this, I
- 4:12Speaker 1: don't quite get. But including one guy who gave her
- 4:16Speaker 1: four million dollars last year, one rich guy, for doing
- 4:20Speaker 1: nothing really other than wearing the color bikini he wants
- 4:23Speaker 1: her to wear.
- 4:24Speaker 2: I guess now that I really don't.
- 4:28Speaker 1: Have you ever been to a beach, sir, so just
- 4:31Speaker 1: the Oh yeah, there's an example. I was just in
- 4:33Speaker 1: Miami South Beach. There's lots of girls that look like her,
- 4:37Speaker 1: They're all over the place. But she's got a brand,
- 4:40Speaker 1: built brand. How you become the name that somebody would
- 4:42Speaker 1: search he on, that's its own magic. I guess, yeah,
- 4:45Speaker 1: you know, I suppose lots of show businesses is that way.
- 4:48Speaker 1: There's lots of bands that sound the same white as
- 4:50Speaker 1: one pop up and the other one doesn't. Is always
- 4:53Speaker 1: been a bit of a mystery. But I was going
- 4:56Speaker 1: to get to this article that was in the New
- 4:57Speaker 1: York Times yesterday about how pop podcasting has gone video
- 5:01Speaker 1: to such a certain extent and all my favorite podcasts,
- 5:05Speaker 1: including ours soon have now put cameras in there so
- 5:09Speaker 1: you can watch also, And there's just so much demand
- 5:12Speaker 1: for watching the podcast that you had been listening to.
- 5:16Speaker 1: Lex Friedman does it now, Joe Rogan's been doing it forever.
- 5:21Speaker 1: Commentary Magazine. I listened their podcast. They got cameras now
- 5:24Speaker 1: and you can watch them on YouTube. I never have
- 5:26Speaker 1: I have no need to see them saying the things
- 5:28Speaker 1: they're saying while I listened to them to talk, but
- 5:30Speaker 1: a lot of you do apparently.
- 5:32Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm surprised by this, I've gotta admit, because just
- 5:35Speaker 2: the way I take in audio entertainment, it wouldn't make
- 5:37Speaker 2: any sense to be watching it because I'm walking or
- 5:41Speaker 2: driving or doing housework or whatever.
- 5:45Speaker 1: I used to think that. But the first radio show
- 5:48Speaker 1: that was regularly on television that I was aware of
- 5:51Speaker 1: was Imus way back in the day, and he was
- 5:53Speaker 1: on MSNBC in the morning. Famously got fired. They hired
- 5:57Speaker 1: Joe Scarborough is a fill in, and the rest is
- 6:00Speaker 1: but uh Imus was on in the morning, and like
- 6:03Speaker 1: sometimes they'd say something and I would come out of
- 6:06Speaker 1: my I'm listening to it. I'd come out of the
- 6:08Speaker 1: bathroom and walk down the Hall and like zap back
- 6:10Speaker 1: to watch them say it for some reason. I'm not
- 6:12Speaker 1: exactly even sure why myself, but videos of podcasters and
- 6:17Speaker 1: so we're testing our cameras today or tomorrow to get
- 6:20Speaker 1: that going too. I'm not excited about it, but if
- 6:23Speaker 1: we get some more listeners slash viewers, it's obviously a
- 6:26Speaker 1: good idea.
- 6:27Speaker 2: Hanson said, I have to be shirtless. Well, that's how
- 6:30Speaker 2: we're tying into the whole only fans thing, Michael. We're
- 6:32Speaker 2: trying to harness both of those dynamics at once.
- 6:37Speaker 1: It's out of the box one thing that COVID did,
- 6:41Speaker 1: and maybe just the ubiquity of video casts, there doesn't
- 6:45Speaker 1: seem to be much of a demand for lighting being
- 6:48Speaker 1: fantastic or you're wearing certain clothes or having makeup. Because
- 6:52Speaker 1: there's Joe Rogan doesn't obviously doesn't care at all how
- 6:55Speaker 1: he looks. The lighting is terrible. He's sitting there in
- 6:57Speaker 1: a sweatshirt. He looks like he hasn't watched his I mean,
- 7:00Speaker 1: he didn't care, and he's a he makes it whatever.
- 7:03Speaker 1: He made three hundred million dollars on his deal. Well,
- 7:05Speaker 1: and you've commented that his news breaks.
- 7:07Speaker 2: Halpern will hold these rodeos where various thinkers commentators will
- 7:12Speaker 2: get together and comment in real time, which is really cool.
- 7:15Speaker 2: But a lot of the times they're sitting there on
- 7:18Speaker 2: the same T shirt they worked out in.
- 7:20Speaker 1: Yeah, with headphones on and bad lighting. So Ryan caring
- 7:24Speaker 1: about that has gone out the window.
- 7:25Speaker 2: Well, normally you'd be trucked down to Manhattan, I mean
- 7:28Speaker 2: back in the day. Oh yeah, Literally you had to
- 7:32Speaker 2: be there in the studio wearing a suit with makeup
- 7:34Speaker 2: on your face.
- 7:35Speaker 1: Yeah, they would fly you in if they're going to
- 7:37Speaker 1: have you on the show. And then it became popular
- 7:39Speaker 1: for a while to have these mobile studios that would
- 7:42Speaker 1: come around. It was just a van with a tiny
- 7:44Speaker 1: little set in it, and they could come to your
- 7:46Speaker 1: place of work or your home. You'd go out and
- 7:49Speaker 1: sit in the van with the proper lighting, in the
- 7:51Speaker 1: proper set and the makeup person. But that's just nobody
- 7:54Speaker 1: needs that anymore, so that was all unnecessary, apparently, Jack
- 7:57Speaker 1: was it? Is this the slopifying of a America? Or
- 8:00Speaker 1: is it just that the ideas are what counts? I mean,
- 8:03Speaker 1: like that, I came across I shared a couple of
- 8:05Speaker 1: things on the show today.
- 8:06Speaker 2: I thought we're very smart, persuasive ideas, And if the
- 8:12Speaker 2: guy expressing that was on like it was wearing like
- 8:15Speaker 2: an ill fitting golf shirt, I wouldn't diminish the idea
- 8:19Speaker 2: in the least to me.
- 8:20Speaker 1: No, well, or nor the reverse. Somebody who's got nothing
- 8:23Speaker 1: to say. Being good looking with perfect makeup and perfect
- 8:26Speaker 1: air does nothing for me.
- 8:28Speaker 2: Maybe it's the falling away of that sort of pretense,
- 8:31Speaker 2: which would be great.
- 8:32Speaker 1: That's got to be a good thing, doesn't it.
- 8:33Speaker 2: I don't have a big problem with it. No, no,
- 8:35Speaker 2: because I think a lot of that pretense and you
- 8:37Speaker 2: see it in politics still. I mean, why do they
- 8:39Speaker 2: all wear the damn blue suit and the red tie
- 8:41Speaker 2: and the flag pin and the all got the same
- 8:45Speaker 2: damn haircut, A lot of them doing the rest of it.
- 8:47Speaker 2: It's all pretense. Yeah, you know, I think being average
- 8:49Speaker 2: looking makes you more relatable.
- 8:52Speaker 1: Well, then I should be damned relatable.
- 8:54Speaker 2: I should be favorable guys on her, the every man. Yeah.
- 8:58Speaker 1: Yeah, it's got to be bad use for eventually, for
- 9:03Speaker 1: hot young chicks wanting to get into TV. If it
- 9:05Speaker 1: just doesn't matter, maybe that will be the last boice matter.
- 9:10Speaker 2: Back to our previous discussion.
- 9:12Speaker 1: Ah, there you go. That'll be the last holdout having
- 9:14Speaker 1: a young hotty do your weather for whatever reason.
- 9:18Speaker 2: You know, that's I shouldn't admit this. It's a point
- 9:21Speaker 2: of personal cowardice. No, it's probably not cowardice. But you
- 9:26Speaker 2: remember back in the day when there were a handful
- 9:28Speaker 2: of lawsuits female newscasters sued because they were fired in
- 9:35Speaker 2: favor of younger hotties. Yeah, and we were on the
- 9:39Speaker 2: side of Look, it's show business. I mean, if they
- 9:45Speaker 2: think somebody else is going to get more clicks, more views, whatever,
- 9:49Speaker 2: you're in show business. You're not the you know, the
- 9:52Speaker 2: production manager at GM or something, fired in favor of
- 9:56Speaker 2: a hotter girl with the bigger boobs or something. You're
- 9:59Speaker 2: in the Look how attractive. I am business. And I
- 10:03Speaker 2: know a gal. She's a friend, the wife of a
- 10:06Speaker 2: friend who was involved in some of that stuff. By
- 10:09Speaker 2: the way, brilliant woman, like, intimidatingly smart, great reporter, I
- 10:16Speaker 2: mean researcher again, intimidatingly smart and tough. And I haven't
- 10:24Speaker 2: had that conversation with her.
- 10:28Speaker 1: Do you think she's on the other side.
- 10:29Speaker 2: Of the argument.
- 10:30Speaker 1: Oh she was, No, she sued, Oh she's smart. Of
- 10:32Speaker 1: those lawsuits, that's nuts. There's no justifying that. I don't
- 10:35Speaker 1: care how damn smart you are. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous.
- 10:38Speaker 1: It's like saying, sorry, Nirvana, you can't be a band.
- 10:41Speaker 1: Synthesizers are a thing and we can't change.
- 10:45Speaker 2: Well, no, I didn't know. That's a poor metaphor. And
- 10:48Speaker 2: I'll tell you why. She sees her job as being
- 10:54Speaker 2: a reporter and anchor. The network is like, yeah, that
- 11:02Speaker 2: we need you to do that. But you're a pretty
- 11:05Speaker 2: thing for people to look at. Well, that's part of
- 11:07Speaker 2: your job.
- 11:08Speaker 1: Did she win or lose?
- 11:10Speaker 2: I don't remember how it ended, honestly. I remember Christine Kraft.
- 11:17Speaker 2: She was the first to sue in California.
- 11:19Speaker 1: Right, how maybe maybe I alter my metaphor slightly. You're
- 11:24Speaker 1: a band that was very, very popular, but now you've
- 11:26Speaker 1: gotten a little older and people aren't as interested in
- 11:29Speaker 1: you anymore.
- 11:30Speaker 2: All right, So is it is it show business or
- 11:32Speaker 2: is it a production job? That's the that's the problem
- 11:38Speaker 2: that what happened. That's like the conundrum.
- 11:41Speaker 1: Wouldn't it be easy to get around by saying I
- 11:42Speaker 1: hired you in the first place because you were so hot.
- 11:45Speaker 1: There was a number of people that could do the
- 11:46Speaker 1: reporting you do. I hired you because you're the hottest one.
- 11:49Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, the government has never come to terms with that.
- 11:53Speaker 2: Where does show business turn into journalism? How would you
- 11:57Speaker 2: fire a newspaper columnist in favor of a younger hot
- 12:01Speaker 2: of course, not right.
- 12:03Speaker 1: Unless they're going on MSNBC or going on the cable
- 12:05Speaker 1: news channels and getting lots of attention for my my newspaper.
- 12:09Speaker 2: Which I'm not trying to be obtuse here. I'm just
- 12:11Speaker 2: saying it's difficult to draw the line where that becomes
- 12:16Speaker 2: age discrimination.
- 12:17Speaker 1: I'll tell you one place you can draw the line easily.
- 12:19Speaker 2: Weather.
- 12:19Speaker 1: Anybody could do the freaking weather. They're just reading it
- 12:21Speaker 1: from a computer, so that's got no talent whatsoever. They're
- 12:25Speaker 1: always going to go with the younger otter one that.
- 12:27Speaker 2: Goes to the Supreme Court. Nine oh, Catanji Brown Jackson
- 12:31Speaker 2: high five and Scalia these types meant, not scal high
- 12:37Speaker 2: five and the Gorsic Yeah nine O ruling. Well, I
- 12:43Speaker 2: guess that's it.
