Transcripts

Speaker A:

All right, let's go to the lightning round, you guys.

Speaker A:

Jeff, you get the first question here.

Speaker A:

711 has snagged the naming rights to Live Nations.

Speaker A:

When we were young, a pop, punk, emo festival held annually in Las Vegas.

Speaker A:

It's the first time Live Nation has sold the rights for a US festival.

Speaker A:

Jeff, what's the best music festival you've ever attended?

Speaker A:

Or if you haven't attended one yet, which one would you most like to attend?

Speaker B:

Great question.

Speaker B:

It's been a while, but the last music festival that was worth this response, I was actually outside of Auckland.

Speaker B:

I don't even know what the festival was called.

Speaker B:

I'd met some random travelers in my early 20s and got invited to a concert with.

Speaker B:

It was major.

Speaker B:

Laser, Pearl Jam, Snoop was there.

Speaker A:

Oh, my God.

Speaker B:

It was definitely quite the day, but I couldn't even tell you the name of it.

Speaker B:

It was outside of Auckland and it was a party.

Speaker A:

So naming, naming rights are relevant.

Speaker A:

It's really about who's there.

Speaker A:

So hopefully when we were young, pop, emo and punk festival, they get some good people to headline that show.

Speaker B:

I think that's the takeaway.

Speaker C:

It's reported that Miami Vice is getting a reboot from Maverick Top Gun, maverick director Joseph Kaczynski.

Speaker C:

I'm curious, are you more Crockett or Tubbs?

Speaker D:

Why choose?

Speaker C:

Why choose?

Speaker C:

All right, you're.

Speaker C:

You're equally in on both.

Speaker C:

You're.

Speaker C:

You're.

Speaker C:

You're equally invested.

Speaker C:

Your portfolio is 50.

Speaker D:

I love.

Speaker D:

I love their style and I love.

Speaker D:

I love what they represent.

Speaker D:

So I can't wait to.

Speaker D:

I can't wait for it to come out.

Speaker A:

Oh, my God.

Speaker A:

All right, question number three.

Speaker A:

Luis, this goes back to you.

Speaker A:

Target just launched a line of sustainable wine that will be served in new compostable paper wine bottles.

Speaker A:

I have to know, Louise, being the Frenchman on our show, would you ever bring a paper wine bottle to a party?

Speaker A:

Or are you drinking at this.

Speaker A:

This at home, or are you buying it at all now?

Speaker D:

You said it.

Speaker D:

I'm French.

Speaker D:

I would never bring that to a party.

Speaker D:

But I actually appreciate the industry's.

Speaker D:

The wine industry's ability to.

Speaker D:

To transform and adapt and bring, you know, more sustain.

Speaker D:

And in fact, those bottles look pretty cool.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker D:

So maybe, Maybe one day.

Speaker D:

Maybe one day.

Speaker D:

And I remember when it used to be you go from cork to screw caps.

Speaker D:

All the classic French people were up in arms.

Speaker D:

And in fact, it keeps the wine better.

Speaker D:

And it's got lots of advantages, so.

Speaker D:

And people have grown used to them, so we'll see about the paper bottles.

Speaker A:

Oh, boy.

Speaker C:

So, Louise, follow up question that if someone were.

Speaker C:

If you were at a party and somewhere were to.

Speaker C:

Someone were to bring a paper wine bottle to the party, would you disdain them?

Speaker C:

As a Frenchman, I'm curious.

Speaker D:

No, I would actually be curious to try what's in it.

Speaker C:

All right, nicely done.

Speaker C:

Nicely done.

Speaker C:

All right, last one.

Speaker C:

Beyonce kicked off the Cowboy Carter tour on Monday in Inglewood, California.

Speaker C:

Jeff, this one is just for you.

Speaker C:

What is your favorite Beyonce song?

Speaker B:

I may get skewered for this response, but and only because I'm a country fan.

Speaker B:

I have to go with Texas hold'em for.

Speaker B:

For the new age.

Speaker B:

But if we're.

Speaker B:

If we're talking Beyonce, see, I.

Speaker B:

probably go back to the early:

Speaker B:

And go, bills, bills, bills.

Speaker C:

Nice.

Speaker A:

I love that you appro.

Speaker A:

I love that Jeff appropriately quoted Destiny's Child so that Michelle and all the other team get incorporated into that.

Speaker A:

Included in that song.

Speaker A:

The headlines for that song, but.

Speaker A:

Oh, man.

Speaker A:

I got a bodyguard.

Speaker A:

Bodyguard is the best Beyonce song, I think, of all time from this album.

Speaker A:

I.

Speaker A:

I'm so upset that they're not going to be.

Speaker A:

It's not coming through Minneapolis, so might have to catch him on the road.

Speaker C:

Oh, man.

Speaker C:

It's not.

Speaker C:

Oh, wow.

Speaker C:

Well, I'm gonna go with all the single ladies.

Speaker C:

All the single ladies.

Speaker C:

And we're gonna also.

Speaker A:

Destiny's Child.

Speaker A:

Yes.

Speaker C:

Yeah, it was.

Speaker C:

I thought that was Beyonce, Jeff, way in here.

Speaker C:

It was Destiny's Child.

Speaker C:

Oh, it was.

Speaker C:

Okay.

Speaker C:

All right, all right.
