Speaker 1 (00:00):
There's a seventh Shark Nato movie in development.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Not more.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
I'm not kidding, no more. I gotta be honest. I've
never Alex Stone. ABC News is joining us. Now have
you even seen Have.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
You seen people watching one through six? I guess they've
been popular. If they're making a seventh, I.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Don't know, but I've never even seen one. I've never
seen a shark.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
Well.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
I know they've got a lot of cameos in there.
I remember, like Ian Zering from Beverly Hill is nine
o two is a star in there, and I know
that there are some other people that just randomly are
in there. I think they get people to watch that way,
so you see what random stars pop up in there.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
But no, I've never seen one.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Yeah, production is slated to begin soon.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Production quote unquote. If you've seen the quality of the cliffs, can.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
We call it production? I don't know, can't you? Casting
also has not been announced. They say they're going to
be doing that.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
Who's going to admit to being in it?
Speaker 3 (00:56):
You guys should be in it, I was gonna say,
And then you'll talk about it on the air, and
that's how they get free publicity. And I would love
it if you guys were in Shark Nado.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
That way, I would go right now and do that,
depending especially if they're going to give us a little
bit of money for you kidding me?
Speaker 3 (01:09):
They'll have you playing uh, you know, poker in Vegas
and then a shark out of Nework.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
I mean, it doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Like I'll be like, excuse me, I gotta go to
the bathroom, and I'll go into the bathroom and then
like one will come out of the toilet.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
Yeah, Vegas.
Speaker 6 (01:22):
There's going to be a guy in a shiny sequel,
mister Blaze, and we need to have a word that's
the shark in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
No, No, we need the real shark coming.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Out of it, to come out of like Mandala a
Bay's aquarium and or bust through the glass and take
you out.
Speaker 7 (01:36):
Yeah, you guys can make fun of the production value
of Shark Nato, But if a shark gets picked up
by the wind and it goes past an apartment building
and somebody with a chainsaw jumps inside the shark and
kills it, that's pure cinema right there.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
That's the same pure somebody here's the reality.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Is that really what happens in one of them. The
first Oh my gosh, because you know the wind can
pick up what are those a large? Great?
Speaker 3 (02:04):
What?
Speaker 6 (02:05):
Well?
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Sharknado? Sharks are what five pounds or more?
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Minimum?
Speaker 6 (02:09):
Okay, when are we going to get bass Nato? I
want to see bass Nato?
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Which is the fish?
Speaker 6 (02:15):
Yeah, like like a tornado goes over a lake and
picks up a bunch of bass and they.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Just what do they do? Just like suck onto your
your cheek.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
There's big lips on them, and they like they fling
them into your face and cut off your ability to
breathe because they're big mouth bass and they they like
cover your Yeah, they're killing humanity.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Sometimes.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
Yeah, occasionally there's a song.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
They bend off the wall and start singing to you.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
What's the what's the song? I can't remember? Don't they
typically have? It's like a hit, but they turn it
into its right, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:48):
Exactly mean the mounted fish thing? Yeah, I don't I
forget what they sing.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
So yeah, Summer twenty twenty six is the that's the
Eyed release date, as they put it, so casting will
be announced soon. I know a lot of people waiting
to hear with baited breath, as they say to find
out who is going to be cast in Sharknado seven?
Speaker 5 (03:10):
And this is it is?
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Is this?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Oh that's the past button on his fish? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Oh is uh? Is that you doing that? Zach the
playing the Okay? That was I'm not singing it, no, No,
I just wondered. I was like, is Alex doing that?
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Or is that doing it?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (03:34):
Will Smith won't test this movie, but they can get
Todd Bridges, Todd Bridges for Shark. Todd Bridges will be in.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
He would do that. I mean, what's he doing sitting
around uh doing World's Dumbest uh edition talking about World's
Dumbest Edition for ninety six? Is that what's happening with
that anyway?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
All right?
Speaker 1 (03:53):
So I you know, I was saying Alex that OJ's
in the grave, and we're like, okay, everybody's moved on
and no more OJ drama. Well guess what, there's now
something going on with OJ Simpson. This whole saga I
as a head scratcher. But what do we got here?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
I mean the problem is he doesn't have the money
to pay the Goldman family, and he's spent so long
trying not to pay them that now that he's dead
that we kind of know his finances a little bit better.
But the family of Ron Goldman has fought four years
to get the money that a court ordered O. J.
Simpson to pay them. But when Simpson was alive, he did,
you know, really and he was very open about it,
(04:32):
saying that he was never going to give the Goldman's
any amount of money. And it seems like at this point,
based on what is a status saying that he also
avoided paying a lot of taxes in California, and that
they are now willing to try to get some of
this money to where the courts have said it needs
to go. But it was nineteen ninety four when Ron
Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson were murdered. You remember the
(04:52):
famous moment Simpson acquitted, was able to walk away all.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
James Simpson not guilty of the crime of murder.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
And then after that acquittal, he was found liable for
their deaths, and at the civil trial he was ordered
to pay the Golden family a little over thirty three
million dollars for the murders, and he didn't pay and
the interest has been growing ever since that point. So
when he died of cancer last year, he was seventy
six years old, and the Goldman family said that they
had received pretty much nothing at that point from Simpson
(05:19):
over the years, but the money had been growing and
they expected it from the estate. Malcolm Laverne is the
executor of the estate. He's telling our Vegas affiliate that
Simpson didn't have any money.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
I'm hoping to get an estate that's somewhere in the
neighborhood of close to half a million dollars, and.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
That would be through selling memorabilia and because of interest.
Now the amount owed to the Goldman family is fifty
eight million dollars. Started at thirty three million, now it's
fifty eight million. The Goldman's actually said was like one
hundred and seventeen million, but in court it got down
to fifty eight million, and LaVerne's saying that that maybe
by selling memorabilia he thinks he can raise around five
(05:54):
hundred grand.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Five hundred thousand compared to seventy million eighty million million.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
But the estate is now agreeing officially in court to
pay the Goldman family fifty eight million, or at least
giving them money as they auction things off, and an
auction of simpson stuff earlier this year they got about
three hundred thousand. They planned to do another one. They
may get about two hundred thousand. But Laverne says, the
truth is the Goldmans are never going to get their money.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
It's not realistic to think that that judgment is going
to be satisfied.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
That's never going to equal fifty eight million dollars. They
may get half a million, they may get a million,
and still the interest is growing, so it's going to
keep going up.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Oh and there is the other problem.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
After he died, there was this California tax Liane that
brought sight of me.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
So Jay Simpson had unpaid taxes in California, have over
six hundred and thirty five thousand dollars. They've got to
pay California as well. So all of that money that
they're raising through memorabilia may just go to the state
of California.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
So he's got to pay that.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
In two thousand and seven, the Goldmans they got the
rights to the Simpson book If I Did It, which
had that you know, so called hypothetical description of the murders.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
But the rights to that book have.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Not claimed a lot of money for the Goldmans, and
so they're really going to ever see much money. And in
a statement they're saying that this is all positive now
that the estate is acknowledging that there is the debt
there that the court ordered so many years ago, but
it's not payment, and that they're going to watch this
as it goes through probate. But they haven't seen much
money and they may never in the end.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
It's so bizarre to me that it sounds like, well,
we're happy to just hear them acknowledge this, and even
if they don't end up getting money, and certainly the
endgame is, you know, collecting on that judgment. But that's
one thing that I kind of got out of this,
like this report. The other thing which I'd forgotten, but
(07:37):
somebody explain, like I'm five, how a court can say
you are acquitted, you're not, but you're still liable for
all of this and you're still on the hook for
I just I've never understood that.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Oh yeah, because you have the criminal and then the
civil and it was a whole nother trial where another
jury said essentially that he did it, that he was
liable for their deaths, and on the civil side totally
separate from the criminal side.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
That then that jury said, well, you owe the money
for their dencker.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
I hate that.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
It's so stupid. It's one it's one judgment. It shouldn't
be like, well the truth, like exactly how you laid
it out. That's the dumbest thing to me. And I
know that's not what we're really arguing here or even
talking about, but to me, that's the thing that and
that might be why how did he get away with
just going yeah, I'm not paying you. I know it's
a court judgment. Well okay, well you're going back to
(08:27):
jail or prison, because that's what they do to people
like me and you, Alex and Chuck. That's what they
do to us if we.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Got years golf course said he had no money.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
He remember hello Twitter World? Remember that, I mean, hello
Twitter World. You know he's doing Twitter World updates and
all that. He's he's having a big old time.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
Sane though that a court would award you some amount
of money from somebody who doesn't even alive. He didn't
have access to that kind of money anymore. He was
washed up, he was broken.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
There they're trying to bury you. I mean, it's that simple.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Well, and you remember what he actually went to prison
for or not. That long ago, I was in Vegas
for stolen memorability. I covered that trial for a very
long time. We were in court with OJ Simpson day
in and day out, and he was always very friendly
and come up and say hi to everybody. But yeah, kid, Yeah,
they got him for kidnapping, and the charges were kind
of insane that because because he allegedly said, well not allegedly,
(09:20):
the jury found him guilty that that the collectors could
not leave the room, so they got him for false imprisonment.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
Wasn't it his stuff? I didn't know you covered.
Speaker 6 (09:29):
That was his way to the hotel room and say,
ain't nobody leaving here till I get my stuff back?
Speaker 5 (09:34):
And that was somehow illegal.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
I was on There was a gun involved in some
other things that the jury determined that he knew and
was part of the whole plan to go back, and
he claimed to get his stuff back that had been
stolen out of a storage container before that. So but yeah,
that's what he ended up going to prison for, was
not the the murders, but for memorability.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
He went, I mean he really did. Yeah, I mean that's.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
I might do the same thing if it was my stuff.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Yeah, but the.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Thing is you should probably call the cops and not
going with a gun and slam the door and not
let people leave.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
That's what I was thinking too. And and did he
file any cut And maybe it was him trying to
just take care of all of it because he knew
he had that judgment against him at the time, right
where the court said you owe this money, and he
might be thinking, man, they're going to take my if
we get the cops involved. They took a confiscate.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
He thought this stuff had been stolen, but it was
like legally bought out of a storage container somewhere where
it was being stored, so.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
They were in legal possession of it.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
But he in his mind it was his stuff, his
old USC stuff and other things. And so yeah, but
that's what he went to prison for, not for the murders,
but for that.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
In the court of OJ Simpson he found them guilty.
Is when he's like, get.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Me my stuff exactly.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
No, he didn't have a trial. He was just like
give it back to me.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Unbelievable. Wow, uh, well, this would be interesting that they're not.
You know, they might get a little bit of money
and then it's like, well, in California's like, ah, you're
getting behind us because Yo, Texas a government kind of
trumps them. I guess yeah. It seems like unbelievable. Wow,
Alex Stone, ABC News, that's very interesting, Alex, thank you
so much. You got it letter see it Man Orenthal,
(11:15):
James Simpson.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
Give me my stuff. Ain't nobody leaving this room. I
had enough because it's my stuff. Johnny Crockman rhyme. I'll
do it all the time.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
If the glove don't fit, you must have quit.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Yes, it's a gun.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
I'm gonna have a little fun.
