"Order in? I ordered online and then I went and grabbed it. From the Burbank location, for whatever reason, they weren't taking pickup orders from Hollywood for whatever reason.

The ArcLight is shut down, and I'm like, yeah, I'm wondering the same thing. I mean, horror Ramadan. All those business businesses right there. I'm sure in supposedly the domes coming back wags, don't miss supposedly coming back.

I've been looking here. I can't get Intel on whether or not the veggie grill by that cinerama dome theater by the now closed arc light is open or not. It looks like it says it's open, but it doesn't necessarily let you order pick up online. So maybe that's what's going on. Here's the thing with UCB Franklin getting shut down. I'm like, hey, I want to pick up a copy of Martin and orloff today. But where? But where? And I go over there. What did you find it? Franklin's closed. No. You want a deep baby. 24 80 P DVD.

She like, and it was like such a weird thing where I was like, how did she even find out about these movies? But she gifted me one bundle of Christmas. Like it was like 5 DVDs and one present.

Do you text your wife differently than you. Text your friends for example if your wife reached out would you respond quicker than if a friend reached out. Yes that's my point. I think that if she's reaching out and he's not responding then maybe he isn't as into her as she's hoping interesting. I think i'm good texter. Though is just a little bit intimidated by this phone. In their pocket is kind of a weird thing. I i think unless there are other problems that i think everything's okay but i mean you make a point jerry for sure eastern with your take on this.

"Big money changed hands it. I think it was close to five billion dollars or not changed. Yeah did technically changed hands. If you're losing money you're changing money from hand to hand here but it was quite the ride there and i think we're not done yet. But the announcement this morning that they were going to be selling. Eleven million shares caused a little bit of an impact on the price. There was about a twenty percent hike in premarket trading prior to this morning's announcement and then they took a four percent loss which triggered a circuit breaker. And if you don't know what a circuit breaker is it's literally just a pause in the trading of that stock for think it's a predetermined amount of time it's fifteen minutes or by other words is just going crazy right now. It's crazy it's going up it's volatile. It's going all over the place you know. I think what you're seeing here. Is that retail investors. Get a little scared there. They wanted to pull that profit before they saw things disappear when amc decided to announce that they were going to be selling off eleven million shares to it was a capital group. Can't remember who it was off the top my head but you know i think that scares the retail investor when you see that the institutional investors are getting a little bit more. I don't blame them. They'll find amc. And i just come off the worst year and a half ever. I would want to sell off you know. Have that in my kitty as well. I mean that's back up the brinks truck. If that's the case and please do it at the all time high. That would be awesome. I would have done it too but again. That's the way the things are bouncing right. But there's so much interest now in these types of stocks unfortunately the pandemic of closed for good a lot of things as far as the theater chancer that they close the arclight cinemas the pacific theatres chain. Those are closed for good. They're not being brought back only if amc or regal or some other theater chain reopened them under their banner will they be to go ahead and open up and that includes the historic cinema. Dome in hollywood some hoping that somebody will be able to go ahead and open that one up. because that's historical monument to me and filmmaking. Alamo draft house is reopening up. They were on the verge of bankruptcy. Now they're thriving now they're going to open up more theaters..

"All right our first story this week. Amc entertainment has sold two hundred and thirty million dollars in stock in order to go on a buying spree. they're already talking to the landlords of arclight cinemas pacific theatres. some of the movie chains. One of the things that happened in a pandemic or crisis is that some of the small players fall because they don't have enough cash or ability to raise cash to survive while bigger players that either have the cash or the ability to borrow cash and ab- scooping them up and i think that's what we're about to see we're about to see amc gonna buying spree of a bunch of little feeder jane's regionals and things like that that could have individually survived like the crazy thing is so it's not like amc had this money went and raise this money so arkley could also like investors could have just invested straight in arc light instead of investing game see to by arc light but there's this belief among certain investment groups. That bigger is better in there will be efficiencies of scale and like i guess there might be i guess. Amc might be able to get like cheaper popcorn buying it bigger volume and they'll have more powers negotiations with the studios. Here's a line from the from the article on the rap about this we also have coverage on it on no film school but the new deal The recent market surge has enabled the new deal since the eight point. Five million shares represent a small portion of the current trading volume. That's a wall street jargon. This transaction underscores the real value of having some authorized share capital available for us to opportunistically capitalize on shareholder value creation possibilities as and when they arise with our increase liquidity and increasing vaccinated population blah blah blah blah timeframe to go on the offense. So it's sort of like that's part of the the size and scale that affords them the ability to get their hands on this kind of cash quickly to make this kind of deal. That's my reading of that but it sounds like that's the reasoning. Why it's amc. I guess and not having the ability to get that kind of authorized share capital. What that means now. I feel like i need a glossary. Is it always goes back to we. Have this idea that like there are natural forces that are actually the results of design and so the way our stock markets are designed to operate is. They're designed to favor bigger organizations that think in shorter-term increments and so like if we redesigned our stock market. Which like. i don't know how to do. But i'm sure i'm sure there's a lot of people great ideas that favored longer term investments. That paid out money over time and favored smallness instability. It would have been easier for smaller companies to find those direct investments. I remember once. I met an investor and a coffee shop. It's a long story but we're like sitting three in a row and a coffee shop in someone else was like telling like the table next to us. Someone was saying about a need they had. I owned a company that time that provided that i like interrupted their conversation to be like. Oh hey i actually do what you need. You should call me. Give my card and the guy was like that was a really smooth way to do that. And we like a long conversation about sales and wind up people and stuff. And then i tried to put him in an idea and he was like. I'm really not interested in anything. That's not a core technology that will make billions of dollars. And i was like yeah. I don't have any like that. He's like yeah of course but like And it was one of those moments where i was like you know. Investors want tax returns investors. Big you know all of those things and so like does bum me out. That it's like. I really wish that somehow that two hundred like that the market. I don't blame any individual player in this but it would be awesome if our market were designed such that two hundred and thirty billion dollars could just be separately given to each of the individual little movie theater chains to keep doing what they are doing. As opposed to having to be given to one entity that will then go up by all the others and like that's can you realize names e in particular. Yeah yeah no i have. You make really good point. Amazing i think knocking min height myself before i say it but i think i have a really good corollary to industry creative experience in the film making industry. Which is that when you say you're a writer or director and you have a bunch of properties you're working on like ideas and you take a bunch to your manager and agent and they start trying to sell them. They will always take the ideas they think are the most profitable to the biggest companies. Because they're not that interested in small games because they get a small piece. They are interested the first they wanna they want to hunt the biggest game i because they're only going to get a certain amount like the hyenas that they are. Just kidding. 'cause you're doing the hunting right. They're just getting a percent. I'm just kidding they. They're they're whatever hunt you hunt and kill with your you know creative with your manager. Agent that manager agent is getting ten percent fifteen percent so or whatever so that i think the correlation is that amc is for the investor. It's the biggest bet. It's the biggest by. You're going to get the biggest chunk. Your tiny chunk is going to be a bigger chunk whereas if it's small investors then the junk is going to be smaller because the total is smaller. So i think that that's why we see this across all things in business where you know i. I am surprised. Honestly that we haven't seen in all this an amazon decide to buy an amc yet or frankly not just low but that was the other thing that was interesting in. This is like only two hundred and thirty million dollars like there's movies that cost two hundred thirty million dollars like this is too small potatoes for amazon. To care about like amazon's only ever bought two or three things ever and they're all in the billions of dollars range and mike. This is like why doesn't apple. Let's let's like. I wonder aloud. Why just say like hey you know what. Let's by all the movie theater like everywhere like why not right now would be the perfect time to just be like we own movie theaters like if you see a movie theater. You're seeing in an apple theater. Theory i wanna hear it. I'm curious dying model. No because that's no. I don't think i think that anybody. I don't think it's dying model. My grand children will still see movies in theaters. Like what's coming. The only be like one hundred people left on earth. But i think they'll still fire up the movie theater on friday nights. No i mean apple's not buying movie theaters because aesthetically. They're not interested in them. If every movie theatre had been built most in years and all had glass stairways the vast majority of them. They all like spaceships. Yeah the ugliest ones are the most revenue beneficial. The beautiful ones are still not apple. Beautiful right like be addiction. The are still like not anything. Apple is interest the end but then why does it networks netflix's basically in crazy debt. But don't you feel like net flicks would be a really interesting like we own the mood. The we are movies. It's part of our brand like it would be cool if netflix defined its friend beyond just we have a bunch of nasr really in their name though. Yeah yeah that's literally. But then i was on was known for like i'm sorry county just but but the that's true but then the thing with amazon to me. That's amazing is. They started opening bookstores because they were born to destroy the bookstore. None of.

"Remember that it's a show and it needs to be entertainment in a sense You know. I think A lot of people think that know just get on the mic and just start talking and people will will enjoy. I'm saying but there has to be a performance side of it a little bit and it doesn't have to be laid on like hey welcome to takeda but now there is there you have to remember what you're creating is entertainment. And and that should be part of the forefront of all thoughts of the things you do. Is this entertaining is something that can sell josh. My number one number. One thing that i always think to say is what is your mentality about it. because the thing that i see a lot in the podcasting realm is that people start a podcast and what is it. Is it a business or is it a hobby because those are two very different factories because if it's a hobby chill bro. But if it's business you're asking the questions all the time. Like what corey said. Is this topic even entertaining. Is this topic important. Do the season of this or should we do this. And when he's treated as a business you are much more A lot more thought goes into it in terms of Strategically strategy content. Planning 'cause you're thinking of how to do the thing. yeah With my hands for me. My bit of advice is going to be Your hesitation is probably more detrimental than you think you need to get out in earner scrapes. Get it wrong before you get right Because a lot of the times you're gonna be guesstimate before you even do a thing and you should always constantly ask yourself those questions but don't stop yourself being like. Oh shy work with other people. Before i just do my own thing just work with other people. Just you know collaborate you know. Put the episode. I'll do the thing if you get called out. You get called out but you have to be able to do that. You can't be paralyzed by like. Should i would i how do i. The audio is imperfect. the said. i'm here and it's like you want your your in more dire risk of getting Drowned out by everyone else. Then you are of making a splash. And that's just to put it very nicely. So you've got to have the courage to go out there and do it Was say it's good last question last question So now that oh. This is from talent the dragon so now that every major nerd group or every other major nerd group has started a dnd other table top campaign. When is nerd.

There was a time. Let's let's let's put this in perspective. There was a time in this country where there was a lot of known about this virus and it wrist overwhelming hospitals in some areas of the country overwhelmed hospitals. There are parts of this country that have done better than others. You would not know this from a lot of the media coverage the media coverage for example of brian Georgia relentlessly negative. Would he was the first governor to reopen his state and yet his state has outperformed every other state economically including florida were robbed. This was the second governor to reopen his state and and his lockdown was barely a minimum lockdown and yet the media coverage of him as well was relentless upbeat and positive about andrew.

"Clamoring to get the vaccine. This just is not helpful. Covert coverage by the us national media is an outlier study. Finds bruce sacra dot an economics. Professor at dartmouth college noticed something last year about the cove nineteen television coverage. He was watching on cnn pbs. It almost always negative regardless of what he was seen in the date or hearing from scientists he knew when cova cases were rising in the us. The news coverage emphasized the increase when cases were falling the coverage instead focused on those places where cases were rising and vaccine research began showing promising results coverage downplayed as far as he could tell if he was not sure whether it's perception but he wasn't sure if he is perception was correct to check. He began working with two other researchers building database of coverage from every major news network. Cnn fox news politico the new york times and hundreds of other sources in the us and overseas the researchers did analyzed it with a social science technique that classifies languages positive neutral negative. The results show that sacra dots instincts were right and not just because the pandemic had been mostly grim story the coverage by us publications with national audience has been much more negative than coverage by every other source that the researchers analyzed including scientific journals major international publications in regional us media the most. Well read us. Media are outliers in terms of negativity. Molly coca co author of the study told me about eighty seven percent of covid coverage national. Us media last year was negative. The sheer was fifty one percent and international media fifty three percent. Us regional media and sixty four percent scientific journals notably the coverage was negative in both us media outlets liberal audiences like msnbc and those with conservative audiences like fox news. Sacramento's careful to emphasize that he does not the journalists usually report falsehoods. The issue is what facts. They emphasize still the new study which the national bureau of economic research is published as a working paper titled. Why is all cova. Bad news calls for some self reflection in the media and impossibility. They will not self reflect in part of this. Let's be honest was all about trump as well but the negative coverage actually continues even now into the biden administration. The negative coverage is continuing led by. Dr fauci. Telling people stay home. It doesn't matter. Stay home It doesn't matter you can't you you can't go outside. You've got to wear your masks at some point. The assumption of the risk has to take some level of precedent overall of this washington. Examiner has great editorial today to consider. We are fast approaching the point in the coronavirus pandemic at which the supposed cure is almost as bad as the disease. This isn't about the johnson. And johnson vaccine this is about the closure and restrictions on civil society on main street and on businesses where people get together. Governments rover year have demanded compliance from restaurants. Movie theater storefronts gyms play places and countless other third places the closures the sanitation rules the capacity limits on these institutions has been based more in fear and outdated practice than in science but proprietors along yet for many businesses.
