Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Give us three minutes and we'll give you everything you
need to know for the day. Brought to you by Mucles.
She'd been going Auburn. You're home from Machino. It's time
for ninas. What's trendy?

Speaker 2 (00:06):
If you're one of those people that is constantly crying
about the dating apps, I get it. But this is
good news because there is a new way people are
meeting new people and finding dates. It's not actually new,
it's just making its comeback. But I'll tell you what
it is coming up in a second if you're out
here looking for love. But first, let's talk about this
Paramount WB also Paramount HBO Max combination. There's so much

(00:31):
going on here with the streaming networks, but for all
of us who do stream I watch everything, this is
good news because it's less places that you have to go. However,
isn't it kind of how can Paramount be with Warner
Brothers and HBO Max.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
So isn't that like a monopoly? Yeah? I don't have
no idea. There's other ones too, but there's other studios too.
There's Netflix there.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Yeah, I know, but like those are three of the
bigger ones. But I guess those are like the old
school ones, yeah, versus Netflix and Amazon.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
Yeah, so they're still competition.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Yeah. Interesting, Okay, anyway, your Paramount and Warner Brothers have
announced that their plan is to release thirty films theatrically
every year. That's not like a lot to me?

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Is that normal?

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Do you guys?

Speaker 3 (01:16):
Know?

Speaker 1 (01:16):
I think that is a lot, because a lot, especially nowadays,
Like I've been going to the movies a lot in
like in the last five years, and the amount of
people in theater is just like nothing.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
Would you prefer? Because I feel like there is a trend,
especially with Netflix movies and stuff. They feel rushed. They
don't feel like they're given the full you know, creative efforts.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
That they have in the past.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
Rushed.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Yeah, So like would you rather have like five great
films a year or thirty films a year?

Speaker 3 (01:46):
Well, I don't think thirty is a lot for because
if you think about it, like production companies also like
outsource and like they'll like they'll give opportunity to smaller ones,
Like are they taking talking thirty huge films or just like.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Yeah, theatricature releases in the movie movie theaters, but.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
There are also so many other films that just a
lot of people don't go see that. Still go in
movie theaters, but only for like a few days and
then they go like hit streaming or something like that.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
Yeah, I think that's what I'm trying to figure out.
I mean, I don't work in that inutry, so I
don't really know. But theatrical release remind it makes me
think of like they blow it up and get popcorn boxes.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Yang.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Anyway, if you know, then cool, maybe you can share
that info with us.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
The probably there are four one hundred to eight hundred
movies that are released in North America theaters annually.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
It reminds me of the music industry too. You know,
if you really think about how much music is released
every Friday, it's ridiculous what we're aware of.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Okay, so I take my question back. But still I
with like five good movies. Yeah too, But they have
to put out so much content now that they just
everything is quick, I know, I know, but keep those
shows going though. So anyway, Uber air Taxis are getting
ready to make their debut in Dubai. So we've been

(03:03):
talking about uber air Taxis for a while and I'm
picturing kind of like a hybrid of like a helicopter
in a flying car. They I haven't seen a picture
of it at this point, but Uber says that they've
teamed up with air Taxis who are able to take
off and land vertically and they're completely electric. So one
tap booking, there you go. You get to take off

(03:24):
right there in Dubai.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
I don't know if I like that.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Yeah, I don't know if I trust it. That's cool though, No,
I mean I'm want to be standing on the ground
and just like looking up like the jetson they're flying
around those futuristic bigetings and stuff. But it's there. If
you're into it, you can make it to Dubai. And lastly,
the way people are now finding love again is that
speed dating is making a comeback. So speed dating never

(03:48):
really went away. There were always kind of events that
people would throw more for fun or charities, but now
people are actually investing in speed dating and saying and
taking it more seriously. So there's higher quality of people
that are making their way to the speed dating events
and you know, really hoping to find people out there
that's just not online.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
I mentioned that on TikTok the other day in our
live stream, speed dating. We should do, like a speed
dating on TikTok?

Speaker 1 (04:10):
What were you? What would be your three questions for
a guy Victoria when you sat down?

Speaker 3 (04:16):
What's your name?

Speaker 2 (04:21):
What's your real name? Let's start there.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
Is that the second question? That's the first name? That's
first one. Yeah, what do you do? And do you
like what you do?

Speaker 1 (04:31):
Those are your three questions? Would you ask it in
the English? Do you like what you did? That might
not depending on who you're on the speed date, but
I think they'd be like.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
I don't know, what do you ask on a speed
Have any of you, I know guys like movies of it,
but like, I've never actually been on a speed date.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
Yeah, I've done it a few times and I've hosted one,
But I mean, now, my first question is are you married?
Be honest, that's a good question because when that comes
back to bite you in the butt, nobody wants that drama.
That is what's trending
