been undercover as a go between for Vegas high rollers a deckhand on super yachts even you'll recall not so long ago as a cast member at Disney World now he's taken us behind the scenes at some ultra opulent weddings I mean we're talking ultra opulent like tens of millions of dollars Like crazy amount Brandon spent a week working with some of the top event planners in the world and discovered all the unromantic work that goes into achieving nuptial bliss He and Bloomberg pursuits editor Chris riles are joining us now with a look at the lead story in this week's pursuit section Chris let me just set you and Brandon of known each other for a while You've done a lot of these ventures I gotta say the Disney one was a fave of mine So tell me about how did you suggest this to Brandon Brandon did Brandon come to you with this idea Brandon came to us with this idea So we sometimes when we're daydreaming about where to send the amazing brand and undercover we'll think okay what's a crazy sort of ultra luxury experience that we want to know more about Being a ski instructor at Aspen or being a waiter at nobu And then Brandon through this process actually gets to know a lot of the people who work in service in these industries and he can sometimes say you know I have an inn at this place where I think we can do this So he did I'll try luxury vacations like honeymoon planning and that kind of led him to this We started think Brandon with Colin cowie That's a good place to start because he is the party planner to the stars Who is he and why do you need at least a million bucks for him to even pay attention to you Well I think Colin has cultivated a celebrity status in his own right And he sort of created a brand around himself long before the idea of branding oneself was a thing Back about 2025 years ago he started working with Oprah and Oprah Doug Kim the event printers to the star So then everyone came running And then so he's planned events and weddings for everyone from John Travolta to Bruce Willis around Seacrest to Mariah Carey And so the brand is called him around and people who want that sort of star studded experience seek him out and he can command a $1 million to produce a sort of entry level wedding in his world What is he like a supermodel from the 90s I don't get out of bed for a $1 million But that's because when I was writing this story I actually was toying with trying to do like a Linda Vanderbilt lead for the story and it just ended up being a bit of a big metaphor but I was thinking about that the whole time So Chris what was it that you wanted to know top of mind from Brandon Well you know a lot of times what's interesting about these undercover stories is a that the people who work that Brandon works with are incredibly talented and they are able to accomplish superhuman feats of making amazing things happen dealing with insane requests And then B the second most interesting thing is usually the bad behavior or the wild requests of the people who are indulging in the service So I wanted to know how crazy the brides and grooms were And Brandon actually learned that the whole sort of bridezilla groomsville thing isn't really as much of a thing at this tier when people are spending one to $11 million on a wedding They're getting everything they want Exactly But what about mom Zilla or dads though Right So the people the zillas are the people around the bride and groom and Brandon saw some bad behavior on the parts of families of celebrities So I don't know Brandon you wanna tell them about some of the family bad behavior you saw Yeah no absolutely Yeah going into this I was really excited to mine some of the more classic Red Bull stories And it was told to be right for the start you know when you're getting everything you want for your wedding the villa attitude doesn't come out But then the moms are like creeps out especially among new moneyed individuals because likely when they were in their 20s or early 30s having their wedding they didn't get to have the $9 million wedding So some of the funny things that I was hearing about was that a mom would wear white To the wedding in college champagne So evil There was a mom who had the videographer completely re edit the wedding video because she didn't star in it enough By the way who goes back and watches things anyway Yeah Well it's interesting too So tell us about some of the other things that you came about came across I mean open bars being kind of the devil There's a great story I'm gonna go there about someone who got so drunk What happened Oh yeah So at one point you know it's really hard to control alcohol consumption at a wedding You bought out the whole resort You have all the service that you could ever need And you can't water down the drinks because you need to keep everything at a certain level standard So people just get absolutely shattered And one woman actually was still junk she fell over onto her wine glass and then popped her silicone brat And that is why Colin.

And this can't be easy for a family to say that, especially since Bruce has been the breadwinner, not only for Demi and her kids, but his younger wife was beautiful and then two kids, it's a sad thing. She said thing to say the least and it hit me the other day and because this cognitive decline is aphasia that he's suffering from it just happened on the same day as my buddy Pauly Herman died and you know if you know anything about those two guys like I mentioned maybe you guys didn't hear this on Patreon but Pauly Herman used to run a club on the upper west side of New York City and Bruce Willis was the bartender before he was known. And the fact that both of them on the same day basically got silenced, it's very scary for a guy like me. It's scary for anybody because it just shows you how quick life goes and how quickly it can turn. And I can only wish Bruce some sort of turn around,

I'm sure some network is always running die hard. It's a fine movie. I won't say a great movie. I won't say a good movie because this year on top of people arguing whether die hard is a Christmas movie or not. They're also arguing whether it's a good movie or not. I don't know why that is.

Daniel Baldwin Protects His Brother Alec
"Daniel Baldwin, not the Baldwin you'd want to speak up for you if you're Alec 'cause Daniel has had to try his problems in the past. He's like the black sheep of the ball and family. Daniel Baldwin was on a podcast the other day and was saying out loud how he thinks his brother Alec is being scapegoated because of his political views when really everybody about that everything about that rust shooting should be focused on the many, many wonderful things he's done for different charities and people and his wife and this is the way Daniel thinks we should be thinking. We shouldn't be thinking about his politics. We should instead be thinking about the wonderful things he's done and also how wonderful his wife is and whatever the fuck. I mean, I guess he has a point, I haven't thought much about anything else about Alec Baldwin since he shot and killed the cinematographer halyna Hutchins. I don't know. The way Daniel sees it, the way he explained it on this podcast. Alex is being scapegoated because he's the big star with outspoken political views and that makes him an easy target. He went on to say that, you know, Alex got the name, though, doesn't he? So let's go ahead and take Alec for his political views and the many, many wonderful things he's done for different charities and people and his wife and let's see if we can sensationalize this and go after Alec. I'm not sure that's what's being done. I think we'd be up in arms if anybody killed a cinematographer on set under the same circumstances. I think we feel the same way of George Clooney did it or somebody like Bruce Willis, so many on the right. I don't think this is about politics.

Pandemic wage gains were just a fluke
"Come friday. We're going to get the latest stab shot on average hourly earnings in this economy and it is expected to show continued strong winds gains but our guy on economic statistics mitchell hartman. He says best to ignore that and focus instead on the trouble yet to come so a crazy thing happened on the way to the pandemic recession. After the economy shut down and twenty million people lost their jobs. Workers average hourly earnings went up skyrocketed. Actually up eight percent year over year but what got was was not signal. Joseph bruce willis is chief economist at rsm consulting. He'll be our guide through this thicket of wage data and when he says noise not signal he means fast. Rising wages have been a statistical anomaly of the pandemic economy high paid professionals kept working from home and mostly held onto their paychecks but millions of mostly low paid service workers lost their jobs. When you've got forty percent of households making forty thousand or less seen a job loss or loss in wages. That explains that head. Fake if you will on wages forty year old cinnamon deutsche is. An example of what bruce willis is talking about. She was teaching at a childcare center in asheville beulah ohio when it closed and she got laid off in march her three hundred and fifty dollars a week. Paycheck disappeared from the average earnings calculation. But she got unemployment which included six hundred dollars a week in extra federal pandemic pay until she was hired back three months later. I made twice as much on unemployment with the extra six hundred dollars. As i do now but i am glad to be back to work. I mean i like going to work so like many americans do inches. Income actually went up for a while because of additional unemployment benefits and relief checks but those temporary effects are fading. And just says we're in for a rude awakening. What i think we're going to see is a very bifurcated. Wage market this idea that k shaped economy separation between the hadgem. The have notch bruce willis says the haves those who work in what he calls. These zoom economy will have made goes at the upper end. Those who are already thriving. There's going to be competition for those workers. you know. Premium place their wages but for lower wage says workers even as the economy reopened and employers. Start staffing up again. Those in the middle to the lower end of the market where the damage occurred. They're not going to see a lot of wage growth. That's due in part to supply and demand. Lots of unemployed workers looking for jobs not enough job openings to give them leverage to demand higher pay. then there's something. Economists call downward nominal wage rigidity firms during hard times ten not reduce. The wages of the employee said they keep on the books but when the times get better wage gains core restrained. That is pretty much what cinnamon joy is seeing in her job. She's back at work fulltime at her previous salary of three hundred and fifty dollars a week. The extra unemployment income she banked back in the spring has run out. My credit card is back up to you. Know almost max out trying to pay five or ten bucks extra so that i can pay that down. I make enough money to pay my bills and have mcdonald's once in a while but you know if my car breaks down or have an emergency am just outta luck i i have to borrow from. Somebody doesn't expect chill get a raise until she hits ten years of service in twenty twenty

Unemployment is bad, but we dont know just how bad
"We begin today unemployment and I'm GonNa hit you with a bunch of numbers tomorrow morning the Labor Department will release its employment report for July the June report showed that nearly eighteen million Americans were out of work this morning we learned that just shy of one point two, million people filed for first time unemployment last week they joined the roughly thirty million Americans who are already claiming unemployment benefits. So eighteen million, thirty, million, thirty, one. And two how many unemployed Americans are there right now other than you know a lot we asked marketplace's Mitchell. Hartman to crunch the numbers. Let's start with those unemployment claims economists like this number because it's up to date and reflect the actual number of claims states process last week says Joe Bruce, Willis RSM consulting all of the people who were receiving some form of unemployment benefits, and that's north of thirty one, million people on the other hand. The Labor Department's monthly jobs report for June pegged the number of unemployed Americans at just under eighteen million. But that's likely low ball right now says at least Gould at the Economic Policy Institute to be counted as unemployed, you have to be actively looking for work, but in Cova Times, there are many people that are not actually looking because they are taking the advice of the health experts in this country maybe they're caring for children right now who schools have been closed former. Commissioner Eric Griffin has her own formula for counting total unemployment right now, what I've been doing is adding up all of the people whose jobs have been disrupted the bulk of them probably pandemic of recession related including those waiting to be called back from furlough and part timers who want fulltime work she comes up with twenty five million.

Iridium's Pivotal Role In Our Past And ... Maybe Our Future?
"We're talking about iridium as show. What does this element tell us about dinosaurs? and how they went extinct. We're going to go back. Tens of millions of years ago to start. Yeah well we start and say like nineteen eighty. That's what I said Richard. I said one thousand nine hundred nineteen eighty okay. Well that's actually. When an academic paper gets published by a group led by a father and son team from the a University of California at Berkeley Louis Alvarez the father of physicist and by the way Nobel Prize winner and his son Walter Alvarez? WHO's a geologist and they? We're interested in a specific period of time. In Earth's history it was a transition between two geologic periods the Cretaceous period and the Paleocene good ones too good period. Yeah so dinosaurs still roamed the earth during the Cretaceous period. But after that you don't find any of these dino bones except in our current dinosaurs birds. You're you know what I mean. I I do know what you mean. Yeah thinking of dinosaurs. Birds Birds Dinosaurs. Same thing it's sad. It's true so at any rate but the Alvarez's weren't actually trying to answer that big. Why did the dinosaurs go extinct? Mystery that point Walter and Louis Alvarez. We're trying to answer. Just one part of that riddle which is how quickly that transition between the two periods took place so walter trump off to Italy where there are rock outcrops that were laid down his sediment back at the time of that transition. Okay seems like a good idea. Why look at those rocks knocks well to get the back story? I talked to another Berkeley scientists. My name is Paul Renae. And I'm the director of the Berkeley Ju- Chronology Center any said the secret to figuring Out How fast. That transition happened involved measuring dust from outer space. That's constantly raining down on earth. Tiny amounts Louis Alvarez Walter's father her biggest physicist thought. Well you know we can determine that we can. We can make some reasonable assumptions about how much dust is coming in from from extraterrestrial sources. Okay extraterrestrial we're talking stuff from outside Earth or the atmosphere in Richard. Can I just say the fact that somebody thought thought about measuring cosmic dust to figure out the passage of time sixty million years ago is objectively awesome. It is and when you think about the dust coming from asteroids colliding with each other. It's even cooler and they were looking for particular stuff and In particular if we look at an element. That's rare on on earth but common in meteors in an element. That's rare on earth but common in asteroids Guess what we're talking about Matty I'm going to take out style and I'm GonNa say radium. Guess Excellent guests. Thank you are we. But what's the role of the dust here right well. Louis was operating unreasonable unreasonable assumption. which is that? This dust from meteors rains down on the earth. More or less constant rate. It's dust of course enriched with iridium. So I figured if they could measure is your how much iridium had built up in. This transitional layer. They would be able to tell. How long taken to accumulate? So I'm thinking sort of figuring out how much snow fell over a period of the time. If you know the rate at falls and how much is on the ground except this is tens of millions of years ago Roger Dodger tens of millions of years ago and the iridium doesn't Milton the sunlight so it sticks sticks around you can still see at sixty five or sixty six years later so so it didn't rate when they ran those calculations with the Alvarez's found was stunning. The results were so so extreme. That just just a the passage of a long time would not really explain this. It was many times greater than the amount amount of radium in this layer than expected just from this gradual accumulation so the conclusion they drew was that there had been some huge pulse of extraterrestrial Oriole's Joe Matter and the obvious conclusion that they quickly came to was that it was a large impact a large impact. We're talking to you asteroid did we are an asteroid They think the asteroid smashes into the earth destroying so much of life on earth and throwing up an enormous muscle mass of dust into the atmosphere. The dust itself caused mass extinctions but it also had iridium in it and it spread around the Earth so they realized this collision is a big one and and the conditions that resulted you know reasonably enough they thought they theorized killed off. These won't bring dinosaurs. You know what you're nobody ever thinks about that other life. I feel like it's always dinosaurs. Dinosaurs dinosaurs. I know you don't get little plastic models of marine for him. And if we're talking to you as I mentioned in this paper was published back in one thousand nine hundred eighty and back then. A catastrophic end seemed to mini scientists pretty far fetched because evolution takes place over millions of years so so a lot of scientists were expecting to see gradual changes. and and Paul Rennie says when the Alvarez has proposed this meteor theory created quite a stir in the community it did. Yeah I mean. It was originally not widely accepted but acceptance sort of came in waves and the biggest confirmation team win in the early nineties. There was the discovery of the crater on the northern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula. A study published in. Today's issue of Science magazine appears to add weight to a theory that a giant media or struck the earth. Sixty five million years ago and what is now Mexico many scientists. This is the Intro to my story that aired in NPR back in Nineteen ninety-two. Some scientists. See this as evidence that helps prove their theory that the dinosaurs were wiped out by a giant asteroid or comet but as NPR NPR science correspondent Richard Harris reports the theories baby Richard Harris Science reporter even covering this story for a bit. I have indeed actually packs into the early nineteen eighties but that no dinosaur drug please and a really big asteroid could scatter iridium dust. Globally the question was. Where's the crater that a huge asteroid like that would make take a look and listen to all that? Join Your Voice you know I know well what what can be more fun than dead dinosaurs. Really Okay So. This study found the point of impact for the giant asteroid. Yes it was a crater one hundred ten miles across called Jiffy Lube and it was created by this asteroid that had a tremendous amount of explosive power. As you can. Well imagine sure so. When these geologist tested the age of the materials from the crater it turned out to date very closely to the mass extinction by the way? Dating methods. have been recalibrated calibrated since that paper. So scientists now say that catastrophe happened. Sixty six million years ago. Not Sixty five million. What's a million years among friends? Yeah yeah yeah absolutely so Joe. Yeah but the point is of course the impact and the dinosaurs demise lineup perfectly and for that nineteen ninety-two story. I talked to Carl Swisher at the Institute of Human Origins which at the time was in Berkeley Berkeley Berkeley Berkeley no even much larger when we went across the street to the UC. Berkeley and told Walter Alvarez the ages we're getting I think he was quite excited because he spent What the last Ten fifteen years trying to find a crater of each throughout the World Team Alvarez for the win absolutely yes for the most part. There's a lot of evidence but there will always be some skeptics in the scientific community. And you know it's also important maybe to mention that at the same time about the same time there was a whole lot of volcanic activity we also on the earth. So there's always people thinking one two punch. Maybe you're saying definitely came. But was it the absolute Khuda Gra for all these dinosaurs. That's still that's still debated. Yeah astroid touch volcanoes low bit of mix maybe so okay Richard Radium helped us figure out our dinosaur extinction mystery. You mentioned earlier that it could also help us potentially prevent the next global catastrophe. We're not talking another asteroid here. No we have Bruce Willis For Asteroids if you remember the action movie Armageddon No no no actually. We're talking about climate change climate change. How does a radium help? Well what we really need to do to. Combat climate change is to have clean fuel. That's cheaper than fossil fuels. If we could get such a thing in other words would quickly switch to the cheaper fuel and we'd stop dumping all that carbon dioxide said in the atmosphere. I don't know about quickly but sure. That's the dream. Richard Yeah Fair enough. So what's the link between clean fuels radium. Well we really liked to capture energy. She from sunlight and turn that into liquid fuels now. Plants figured this out long before the dinosaurs were even around. Tho- sent this says that's right and the first step in this process is to split a water molecule. And the problem is this is not so easy to do in the lab what chemist need is a catalyst so the chemicals that that speed up chemical reactions out there getting stuff done. You got it and I'm guessing you can see where I'm going with this. A radium is a good catalyst. It is a great catalyst for this purpose and imagine turning sunlight into hydrogen fuel or liquid fuel. You could put into an airplane. Of course there's one eighty problem with the scenario. Iridium you will recall. Aw is one of the rarest elements on Earth's crust because of his scarcity's one of the most expensive metals as well. So he does complicate our Laura Research so is the Mother Nature through that us. That's Guanghui Wing. He's a chemistry professor at Boston College. And he's trying to develop an iridium catalyst to make fuel out of sunlight and he's trying to get around this issue of how little of it. We have our ideas that we wanted to utilize this catheters to his maximum. That is we wanted Khimik every atom conce and since iridium is so rare he wants to make sure every single atom in a catalyst is actually at work speeding up reactions even so oh it's probably a stretch to think about building industry around iridium right so he and his colleagues are also hoping that once they understand how iridium does this magic they can find something else that will work as a catalyst as well or nearly as well and ideally something. That's abundant on the earth. So iridium or something like it could potentially help save the day. That's
Popcorn with Peter Travers
Edward Norton Discusses His New Film 'Motherless Brooklyn'
"Everybody. I'm Peter Travers this popcorn where we tell you what's happening at the movies and there's a movie out now that I truly love called motherless Brooklyn which is written directed and starred my guest Edward Norton Great Devere then too long. It's been way too but I talk about long as long as I've known you which has has to be going on twenty years. We've been talking about mother. It was really you've been. That book came out. Jonathan Lethem's book came out and he said I'm going to do that. Yeah this is going to be. But it's finally here. Peter I told you I would and I did I did but you know I can't wait another twenty wanted to do it. But how do you feel now. Really good I when something's been rattling around your head for a long time it is it is nice to get it out. It's sort of like I relate. My character has to read syndrome and obsessive compulsive disorder and when he talks about having glass in the brain. And that's a little bit how this project was for me. It was like glass in my brain. I want. It was uncomfortable and I wanted to. I did want to get get it out but apart from that personal compulsion to see it through. I'm happy with the way it came out. Maybe maybe more than I usually am. Actually it's saying the things I wanted to say and I think maybe you commented on this. It's it's sort of. I don't think it would have had the resonance that that it has now ten years ago. Honestly We were talking about this before we started just the difficulty of course as he has commented on very eloquently. I think in his kind of elegy to the how difficult theatrical films have gotten how difficult it has gotten to release original theatrical films. It's it's always a struggle for filmmakers to make original Ville visions. It's always been you see the cast we had in this film. We have Bruce Willis and Willem Defoe and Alec Baldwin and Google about the Ron and Bobby Kennedy Volley in great great actors. But you still have to. You still have to sort of struggle to find the resources is you need to make it. And I wasn't and I didn't need them. Two hundred million easy. My I got all my actors working the free on my actors worked for nothing to help me get it made honestly but you still but you still have to still have to figure it out. Well there's so many things in terms of mother Louis Brooklyn about what you have to do even with a studio backing him. You have a movie that maybe they don't know what the title is. Maybe maybe they never read Jonathan's book it'd be they're saying what's it about right. I'll what is this and that money has to be poured into letting them know what it is. Ask because not presold been John Game. Yeah No to do the property those things and look in my case. I I was there saying look. I WanNa make a big old fashioned period epoch about New York in the vein of the Godfather or L. A. confidential confidential. or any any of these great old fashioned movie experiences I think demonstrably audiences really loved right when they're good. We all love of those films and and I wanted to mash it up a little bit with other another type of movie. I love which you also have a pure you know sort of the underdog the the forrest gump. The Rain Man That idea of a a hero. whose very unusual has an unusual condition edition? That you've never seen before that you feel empathy for and the empathy that you feel for him the the fact that you immediately. You're on his side. That's part of what that's what pulls you through. A murky. It takes is one of the nicest guys you've ever played. WELL HE IS I. I think he's well. It's funny and someone said to me you've done a lot of people with Conditions are afflictions. I said No. I've done a lot of people who are fating conditions or yeah like like primal fear baking the score with Deniro in American History X. There's no faking. He's he's just. He's angry mentally ill and the truth is this character. He's not mentally ill he. Just has he has terrip syndrome so people they call him freak show but he's he's smart and he's intelligent. He's he's susu sensitive. The great thing about watching this movie is that it takes awhile sometimes for you to say my brain isn't working like Lionel's right. Oh He's piecing together this puzzle in his own head his own synapses and we're trying to put a linear thing that isn't there. No Oh but I I actually the only thing that I just. I think that Agreeing in house district buys by a certain point story. I think when characters this goes back to like J D Salinger Holden caulfield and catcher in the Rye when sometimes when a character tells you his own story right from the start you you relate you feel the emotional hook and I think if you set that hook early with a character if in this case Lionel in a classic detective voice over where he tells you I have something wrong with me. I struggle with it. I I have friends. Who Understand? Me like Bruce Willis but not everybody does and it's it's tough. You know you start to go. Oh I inside this guy I understand him. You want him to do well. You don't want him to trip himself up. You're always reform. I I just think what you're doing you're saying I don't quite know how he's piecing it together doesn't tell you know and that goes to what you've done with Jonathan Lethem's book set in the late nineties but you send it back in time as through the fifty S. I don't think anybody ever knew what to read sets the well. That's what you just said is part of the reason we put it in the fifties the the the isolation the characters isolation not just in terms of other people being a little less sensitive calling him freak show But if you know that he doesn't even know what he has your even more sympathetic. It's it's it's even more isolating to not know what's wrong with you in some sense but the other thing was honestly Jonathan and I both really like those movies. The the the old fashioned atmospheric feeling of those noir films from that era. The novel motherless Brooklyn Brooklyn is very interior it's inside the characters head but obviously a film is a big a bigger canvas. You have you've got to create a landscape for people to look cat and it's great landscape. Yeah it's that whole fifties thing that's going on in New York and why. Why no is called called motherless Brooklyn Yeah you know why basically has nobody so no one looking for him? But he has Bruce Willis's character yes when a minutes boys so he he has something. And that's how this movie starts. It's about who killed my mentor. Who did this and then we get what to me? She has a real chinatown by. which is where's what's festering underneath this? It's not just who murdered character. What's going on? It's it's what's going on. Well you had the water in La. That was going on. You Know Chinatown chinatowns. Great because it's about La's original sin. It's not just about Out a mystery it's about the idea that La is built on crime. And that's and that's that's what I like about our foams. They they do. What you said is exactly right? It says hey they say hey yes. It's a certain mystery and a certain emotional relationship is driving why he's investigating but really what what this about is the more he he takes us into the shadow we realize there are things going on in what we call our democratic like Galateri in New York society that are violently antagonistic to everything. We say we believe in which we see through the out Baldwin Characters or Robert Moses type character master builder under a person that says I'm GonNa create the city to look like this and then cuts out anybody who's an outside anybody who is into one percenter right which which is what goes to the topicality. Yeah even now and was a racist t the total race. Yeah and I think that idea of the way that the way that we actually baked people talk about institutional racism but discrimination was literally baked into the Way New York was built into a modern city. They literally did do things like lower bridges to the new beaches. They overpasses they set them too. Low for buses is to clear them. Because they didn't want black and Latino minority citizens coming to the new public beaches so they literally limited access and people think that sounds like a conspiracy theory but it happened though it did happen and we see it and yet these are things that you have in your screenplay screenplay this book added to. Yes what was in the book right when you collaborate with somebody like Jonathan Right. WHO's a really terrific right? I really great writer. Is He with you on. I couldn't have done what I did on. This was bowled you could call it. Yeah but but he doesn't say what have you done. No no no no. I wouldn't do that without checking it out out with him. I I felt that I felt there was reasons to set it in the fifties. We talked about that. He liked that idea because he likes those films and I think he he knew is fill his book we had a certain Surreal Meta modernism. If you WANNA call it data it's really about the interior life of this character. He he wasn't so married to the plot per se. The plot didn't wasn't like the story of my family or the story of my city. It was it's a very Byzantine mazed. It's really an excuse to write the character in some sense. You know he also loves Raymond Chandler and you know those guys marlow at the detective. Active in Chandler with went through a couple of novels right so we kind of approached it like his great character going into another the next another another story in terms of taking a movie which you've described we've talked about it now and putting it on the screen. Do you worry about it reaching reaching an audience putting out kind of putting out work that you do that you you have a deep feeling for is always It's always got Certain emotional risk no matter how thick skin you get over the years no matter how many no matter how many you know. I've been through quite a few experiences like I'm getting a a nice honor from the camera. Image Festival in Poland this year. It's the Great Cinematography Festival right. And they sent me a rundown of the films they wanted to review in this thing. And it's amazing like at the top line of of those kinds of assessments of films. I've done that people think are really Definitive or something like that. You have like fight club. And he's always in there and the twenty fifth and American history x is always in there and none of those films did well.

Demi Moore on Writing Her Highly Personal New Book
"Demi Moore has recently released her memoir yeah and your brought up a pretty good point this morning. Ashton Kutcher and demi Moore were married for a long time yeah eight or nine years right and they've been divorced for a long time Ashton Kutcher has remarried did mela conus and they have two children together and then demi Moore has moved on she has three grown children with her former husband Bruce Willis and so all these family seem to kind of have settled in right and they don't talk about each other not really right it doesn't seem like they have a lot of bad blood every culture still gets along with his former stepdaughter's all three of them right and that he has this new families Mila Kunis will now demi Moore has released this book and is doing a lot of press talking about the book and so you brought up Jared Mila Kunis as PI think in great okay I don't need that thanks for this right you know because there are a lot of explosive details about Ashton Kutcher internees book including demi Moore talking about how she found out that Ashton Kutcher cheated on her I ask if it was true he admitted it right away and I think I felt like I could barely take a breath there are parts of what occurred with this relationship ending that were a level of devastating for me that wasn't really just about that relationship it was really about my whole life was about being the two year old who wasn't safe that this. really represented that I'm not lovable and that's not about him at all just about me well so action drama yeah she's had it's it's been rough for her and demi Moore posted or read about this in her own book and is releasing it and Ashton Kutcher. apparently in the book according to demi Moore side of the of the tail Ashton Kutcher were invited other women into the bedroom and demi Moore allowed it allowed it and said that she did feel some pressure because she wanted to be you know Ashton Kutcher is several years a young lawyer twenty years out then Jenny is and so she felt like well if I don't. hell get border and I do this because I want to I want to please him and if this is what he's into that she said that there was a pressure for her so he they invited other people into the bedroom and then also the cheating allegations and Ashton Kutcher responding saying I was about to push the button on a really snarky tweet but then I saw my son my daughter and my wife and I deleted it Ashton Kutcher goes on to give out his phone number and says that if people want to know the truth they could text him for the truth wow yeah now all you get though because I tried it now. now all you get is an auto reply reply with Ashton saying track I'll try to be in

"Asteroid danger a hundred percent chance of impact. the space expert alerts in life or death warning this is so many might lead bit optic who's the chairman of parliament for the space nation S. Guardia okay I don't wanna stop gloss over that no that's where I immediately stopped in the stories of what is S. Guardia apparently it's a micronation formed by a group of people who launched a satellite into earth orbit so it must be authoritative this nation I don't know if the representative the you and but this guy says look dinosaurs are right that sixty six million years ago by an asteroid it's common for us. yourselves what you gonna do you're gonna send Bruce Willis up there and try to blow it up before it gets here course you are this just sound like science fiction to me so this does sound silly but there's there called any owes near earth objects and NASA knows about I don't know nineteen thousand of them and about thirty of them they detect each week in and space is enormous right so the chances of us getting it are very slim but not. nothing sure there is a chance that over a long enough timeline we're going to get hit with something else and it really doesn't take a lot. right in space is so big you only get a narrow little slice of the pie to view out of so the chances of you even catching something like you have to be looking at the right part of the sky so it's. it's tricky so we're gonna end the show by saying the world's going to burn so get busy living or get
