Speaker 1 (00:01):
Juicing us hot guys, come stay on top in the
Woots shovel.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Again Pop Quiz in thirty seconds or less? Can you
tell the world who David Geffen is?
Speaker 3 (00:19):
David Geffen is a legendary music executive. He started as
a music manager for artists in the seventies, a lot
of like the California Sound, like Jackson Brown and the
Eagles and people like that. And then he dabbled in
getting into the music business and failed miserably, and so
when he recreated himself, he started the record label DGC,
(00:43):
the David Geffen Companies, which was responsible for the band Nirvana,
for example. So he was a legendary music executive that
then sold right before the crash of the record business.
He sold DGC for a ton of money, and then
I believe at that point he started Dream Works with
Steven Spielberg and somebody else. And he was also one
(01:09):
of the first openly gay executives in Hollywood. And he
was early on a big, you know, supporter of age
related charity.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
He's eighty two. Now.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
There's a really good documentary about him on Netflix. I
think it's on one of the things. Well, he's a
legendary guy. That goes back to the late sixties.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
This story is weird how sometimes something's fall on your lap.
Because yesterday I was I had a bit of a drive.
I went to my niece's birthday party yesterday, she's two.
It was Bluey themed, of course, tell you So. I
was listening to Conan's podcast and Conan had John mullaney
on and they are discussing this.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
Okay, my favorite part of the Eagles documentary as I
think they realized that David Geffen is kind of taking
advantage of them, and they unbelievably the way the documentary
lays out, if you watch the Eagles documentary and you
do not have to be an Eagles fan who love
the Eagles documentary, yeah, you just have to have some time.
So they have different Eagles talking about getting together, and
then they meet David Geffen, and then David Geffen says, oh,
(02:11):
they were the best. They're fantastic. They were amazing. I
knew right away. And then they all start working together.
Everything's great. And then some of them on cameras start
to say, yeah, but then we thought maybe this deal,
maybe David Geffen's getting a lot of money, and they
cut to David Geff and he went, ah, musicians are
in grades, I think in the same day.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Yeah, they go from Don Henley talking to Geff and
he goes, he's a malcontent.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
He's always been a MalCon.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
But then they all go their separate ways from David Geffen.
The Eagles break up. Then they're all on their own,
and Henley says, you know, I bump into David Geffen
and I'm thinking, what was that all about. Let's get
back together again. And then they cut to Geffen and
he's like, I knew Henley. He was the voice, and
he was so magical and he could.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Do no wrong.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
And then they start can you get it for a
little bit, and Don Henley goes, yeah, and then I
started to notice that, you know, my socks were missing
and my watch was missing. And then they cut to him.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
He goes, this has always gonna be a mouth.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
So basically, wherever the wind's blowing, David Geffen's like.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Yeah, there's a there's a rumor that the Carly Simon
song You're So Vain is about David.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Geffan, Okay, that's that's interesting.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Yeah, Well, I pull out my laptop last night to

on TMZ with the Top Stories is eighty two year
old billionaire David Geffen has filed for divorce from David Armstrong.
