Speaker 1 (00:40):
So Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Taylor Swift announces on her the New Heights podcast with
her boyfriend Travis Kelsey, who has changed a lot and
the time the being together. She announces that she now
has a brand new well song album coming out titled
The Life of a Showgirl, and the track list right

(01:01):
now for the album that comes down October third includes
tracks like the Fate of Ophelia, Elizabeth Taylor Opalite father figure,
eldest daughter Ruined, the Friendship, Actually Romantic wish list with
Dollar Science would canceled, Honey, and She'll have a feature
track with Sabrina Carpenter who was the opening ic on

(01:23):
her airr's tour throughout and of course she has made
a name for herself on the title track, The Life
of a show Girl. So through her social media accounts
and appearing on Travis Kelsey and Jason Kelsey's New Heights podcast,
she made announcedent the album's coming out. She worked with

(01:43):
Max Barton and Shellback on the toll track record, so
the Swedish producers helped to produce the hits for Swift
on her Reputation in nineteen eighty nine Records. So the podcast,
she said, we never actually made an album before where
it's just the three of us, no other collaborators, just
the three of us making a folk album. It felt
like catching lightning in a bottle. And this is a

(02:06):
new album compared to the Taylor's versions where she got
to go and re record all her previous tracks for
her past catalog that she got back in the whole
case before where she was going to just re recording
music again. For some cases people really were happy about it. Well,
the Torture Post Department did have new music, but that

(02:27):
was also thirty one tracks on this particular album. So
she added on the podcast that there are other songs coming.
It's not like with Torture Ports Department. I was like,
here's a data dup of everything I thought, felt or
experienced in two or three years. Here are thirty one songs.
This is twelve. There's not a thirteenth, There's not other
ones coming. This is the record I've been wanted to

(02:48):
make for a very long time, she says, and she
also showed on the podcast that she's working on the
album while her Ears tour traveled to Europe. Yeah, I've
been hearing the whole story about how some of these artists,
you know, you don't have to be in a studio
to go and record. They're just ticket to recordings and
recording a hotel rooms or wherever they are in between
days or whatever, and then the tracks are being recorded

(03:10):
and sent back to the studios to get produced. The
aristour had one hundred and forty nine shows fifty one
cities globally, was the highest grossing concert tour in history,
the first in history to sell over two billion dollars
in tickets. And as we talked about the master recordings
of her first six to new albums from investment from

(03:31):
Shamrock Capitol back on May thirtieth, she got them back,
bought them back, and those are the master rights of
her self titled album, fear Lists, Speak Now, Read nineteen
eighty nine and Reputation. They were part of a six
year battle over artist's ownership rights, and originally it was
Scooter Bron's Big The Big Machine label group which sold

(03:53):
the Ethica Holdings and a twenty nineteen Ehica Holdings sold
the master rights to Taylor's first six to two albums
to Shamrock in twenty twenty. So all that's been done,
and she has successfully recorded four of the six disputed
albums Fearless, Red, Speak Now and nineteen eighty nine. All
she has left the recorder. She's gonna do it is
or a Reputation and her self titled debut album. And

(04:15):
I'm gonna make a prediction right now, because it always
happens anyway, when Taylor Swift puts out an album, the
songs are gonna go ahead and take over the chart.
I forget. I think she took nine of the top
ten spots when Torture Post Department came out, and I'm
gonna guess she does the same, eight or nine of
the top ten songs will be hers, and maybe that

(04:37):
will be enough to knock some of these older songs
off the charts permanently. When it comes to Lose Control
or bar song or die with a Smile or beautiful things,
you know, maybe those songs will just finally go by
the wayside because it'll be wiped out by Taylor Swift.
But She's not the only album coming up in September October,

(04:57):
because there are other albums also coming out. Apparently four
major artists are coming out with albums. Why do they
wait so long? Why did they not do it in
the summer, That's what I want to understand. Well, we
also know that Cardi B has a new album coming out,
am I The Drama comes out September nineteenth. Man's best
Friend Serena Carpenter is coming up in two weeks on
August to twenty ninth, v Vie and that's a new

(05:22):
Dojacat album on September to twenty sixth, and then Taylor
Swift's album The Life of show Girl on October third.
That was the plan altogether. There have been a lot
of stories have been written right now about this. Obviously,
it's a big deal because the music industry has been
in a lull, the doldrooms they might call it. That
would be what guy Napoleon would call that and his

(05:45):
particular method of how music goes a girls. Remember we
talked about that a few weeks ago, and the touring,
I guess did give enough time to kind of let
us see her just kind of separate a little bit
from what she was doing. Now I'm wondering if she's
going to be seen at the Chiefs games again with
Travis Kelsey, you know, to watch on the field, because

(06:09):
it's been such a commonplace thing right now. And obviously
Taylor Swift has brought a lot of fans into the NFL,
a lot of her female fans for sure. So this
is her twelfth studio album, and there's a lot of
things that are being talked about that the Swifties are
all getting up. And at about number one, the release

(06:30):
date shows that being October thirty ties to her personal numerology.
It's the closest you can get to her luck. At
number thirteen, the fall release date is also returned to
form because that's when she normally releases her records, and
the exception is the Spring twenty twenty four release. The
torture post department. I didn't necessarily get the whole deal

(06:52):
with her wearing a showgirl inspired bodysuit made of diamonds,
floating underwater in a bathtub. I saw a better picture,
and that's the one I use in the graphics this
week because it just looked better. It was a nicer
looking picture. She's just more attractive there. Looked more like
a showgirl right there. And what's gonna be amazing is
how well this is going to be crafted because of

(07:13):
the fact that she said that she will be playing shows,
do three in a row, have three days off, and
then those three days off she'd fly to Sweden, go
back to the tour. And the bulk of the album
was apparently created during the summer twenty twenty four while
the musician was in Europe going to studio and back,

(07:33):
and so Max Martin, who's been so much work in
terms of albums and show back also to produce the album.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
She says.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
When I'm on I was on tour in Stockholm, Max
Martin came to the show, was like talking to him,
I was like, I just feel like we could just
knock it out of the park. And we went back
in and some of the songs that Max Martin is
responsible for that Taylor Show made big hits off her
album Red was the song twenty two and Blanks off
of the nineteen eighty nine and the last time they

(08:03):
worked together was on twenty seventeen's Reputation eight years. She says,
we never actually made an album before where it's just
the three of us. There's no other collaborators, just the
three of us making a focused album. So no Jack
answered Off, no Aaron Dester, not this time. What's gonna
be interesting too is that she will have been in

(08:24):
a relationship the entire time. So the word is too,
is that the songs are going to be upbeat compared
to the melancholy that she's put out in some of
her albums as of late. Interesting. She says that right
now the album is about what is going on behind
the scenes of my inner life during the tour, So

(08:45):
exuberant and electric and a vibrant just comes from the
most infectiously joy at, full, wild, dramatic place I was
in in my life, and that the album melodies are
that are so infectious. She says that you're almost angry
at it. So She's says to Travis Kelsey on the
podcast that quote Head. He says, I'm unfortunate enough to

(09:05):
hear every song on here, so I know they're all
twelve bangers. It's a lot more upbeat, like fun pop excitement.
It's a complete one eighty of the songs on Torture
Poets Travis Kelsey and Sabrina Carpenter, which I'm gonna imagine
would be the song they'll proby release first sometime in
September before the album comes out, the Life of a

(09:26):
show Girl will be the title track, and that is
probably gonna be one of the first songs we might hear.
And Sabrina Carver is a featured artist on the song
and the only feature shit she has. But again, she
hasn't done mainly many right I Spice maybe kind of
a hit and the Miss bon Iver, you know, among
other things. But of course she's work with other artists,

(09:47):
but for her own albums that's a rarity. But Sabrina
Carpenter has gotten so much of an endorsement from Taylor Swift,
and you know, I could see those two complimying each
other really well. But she also that makes a point
about making twelve songs here. The last time she did
a shorter, shorter album was the thirteen track version of Midnights,

(10:08):
but that was a surprise album's worth of songs. She said,
you wanted to want what was focused so much on
quality and on the theme and everything fitting together like
a perfect puzzle that these twelve songs, I feel like
we achieved it. I'm really happy about that reputation. Was
the last album where the musician didn't offer more songs
that was on the original LP. So everything's being said

(10:30):
right now Corner Rolling Stone that this is gonna be
a big, glossy pop production. It doesn't mean Swiss signature
songwriting isn't taking a back seat. Max Martin made the
point that he did like the album Folklore. I thought
she was really good on Folklore and he loved the
storytelling on it. And she says, I don't want to
change that just because we're making these infectious anthems. I

(10:51):
don't want you to leave that behind. But you know what,
and her career is not a bad thing for her
to go and go back to something upbeat, because that
was something that was she was doing really well with
in various albums before. Even I will say that and
my thing is when I look at what she's done
for herself and like the songs that I look at

(11:12):
that she's made her career. I mean, you know, I
look back and I say myself, Okay, what songs I
go back to that I have in my playlist that,
you know, as a guy, what looks good? What looks
interesting to me that I would go ahead and fall
back into. That looks like it's pretty fun, you know,
And I look at that, and it's interesting to go

(11:33):
ahead and look back and say, Okay, what songs are
there that stand out overall among the songs that I
have in my list from her that I have held
onto that I thought were good songs that I like,
I could go back and listen to over and over.
These are the choices I would go with So Bad Blood,
I don't want to Live, It's always the hits right,

(11:54):
Don't Live Forever, End Game, Willow Delicate, Cardigan's Blank Space,
Anti Hero, Cruel, Summer, Look, What Look? What would you
maybe do? Those are the ones I always kind of
fall back on. So if you want a guys take
on what you know I think about her music, those
are the songs that really do take from there and
that's just my opinion anyway, but also very daring on

(12:18):
the graphics here on what she decided to go ahead
and get photographed to be looking like a show girl
in the first place. It was not something I'm gonna
look at. I mean, she definitely has never been one
to go ahead and bear her body that much. But
there's something to be said about that too, and maybe
people can also pay attention to that part as well.
Who knows.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
Now.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
Of course, what's gonna be the big deal for her,
which is with every tailor Swift album, is that she
sells vinyl and she sells physical copies very well. So
what she's gonna be doing right now is she'll have
variants of the album a sweat and vanilla perfume and
glitter orange vinyl and they'll we had to look CD
and cassette, and she'll have deluxe album covers also as well.

(13:04):
You can also take a look at like she's got
it all set. She's good to go. And that's for
the podcast. The New Heights podcast episode with Taylor Swift
has already gotten thirteen million YouTube views in twenty four hours.
As she gave the announcement and she was you know,
the idea that to announce the record, she did not
go on a radio station, and she did not go

(13:27):
to all these other big, you know, outlets. She went
on her boyfriend's podcast, which wasn't a big platform on Wondery,
and you know, they definitely get an audience. So for
that it works out for him. She helps him out
with a little bit of press and while he's busy
playing football this year in the NFL, I guess she's

(13:49):
gonna be promoting the album and whatever she's got to
do with that. Now, when it was streaming live on YouTube,
the stream did crash about our forty four minutes into
the episode on YouTube, but people were able to go
and watch the episode on Apple, Amazon and Spotify and ustree,

(14:09):
so people were able to go and get to it
and catch up with it. That did it well for
them anyway. But now what does that mean also for
the music industry itself? Because talk about like a stagnation
in the music industry right now, and for having the
wait for Taylor Swift to be the most important thing

(14:30):
that comes out of an album that comes out this
year and to wait till October. So it's very clear
that we're going to be hearing her songs up until
Christmas and then they will resurrect in January, February, March.
We just don't. And it's pretty obvious that, you know,
when she's put out other albums. Oh well, here's the
other thing too. We know that there's always a constant

(14:52):
push for listening to her music once she puts out
a new album, but then the rest of her catalog
starts getting a bump. She's gonna have a very good
month in terms of streaming across the board because all
her songs are gonna get caught up, and the Swift
is gonna be all into it because you know, they
already went on tour, they went to the door, they
paid the money for that. Now they're gonna pay for
the album support that, and you know she's the one

(15:16):
that pulls sales streaming, and because this Taylor Swift, the
course radio airplay will follow suit. It's just the way
it's gonna work out.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
Now.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
The other story I got to bring up that was
also front and center this week on the program was
the follow up to the Howard Stern episode that I
did last week and everything that came up out of
that as well, because there is so much that was
talked about. It crazy. So there was one video that

(15:48):
I put out and for me to get TikTok to
get me fourteen thousand views. That's pretty good. I'm a
serious exam will absolutely take his library they want to keep.
So let me give you what some comments were out there,
because a lot of people commented over the week about
what happened. I want to go take some of those
and bring them up to you right now. So here's
what I have so far, just some of the ones

(16:10):
that got in here. There were some supporters, but quite
a few detractors. So one comment we got was, yeah,
take it all and flush down the toilet. Another retire,
go away, another one I love everyone actually thinking he's retiring.
This all stem from an article on radiar online fake news.
Another person, Howard needs to retire, Come on, let's keep

(16:31):
it real. His voice is fake, those teeth are loose
and wet and sound gross. And then another person one
hundred and nine percent speculation for people who have no
actual information. I don't know if that was referring to
me or the other commentators. Another he needs to disappear.
He's has been. He was funny. Now he just interviews
the Elita's hollyweird and kisses her ass. If he's not

(16:53):
doing that, he's complaining of bitching a moaning. He's an
eight year old man. Go play with your cat's guitar
and paint. Another one, sell the library.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Who cares?

Speaker 2 (17:01):
I know, my granddaughters don't care about him. Nobody under
forty even knows who he is. Moving along. Another person,
he will do a weekly show with either Netflix or Apple.
But he was amazing. Another person, the serious business model
on twenty twenty five is not is obsolete. Steven Colberg
got canceled, not because of money. Because of money, not Trump.

(17:23):
Podcasts have more viewers and costs less. Sterned his millal
compared to the old days. Another person, they don't produce
his show the five hundred million every five years, went
to that telling him he has to do it for
less and that he is seventies. He will, That's why
he will walk away. Another person. Whatever he does next,
he will struggle to get ratings, to struggle to make
a deal. He's becoming a popular and a format of
his drenths will not translate the current meta delivery. Another

(17:46):
he used to be a great interview hasn't been good
in years since time has passed. Sign off for good
and leave gracefully. Another person, he will podcast. Another one
he has spent years bashing podcasts. Another, I think when
he leaves Serious, you're going to see a lot of
people cancel this Serious some subscriptions. Another if he doesn't
come back, he will not sell his archives. He fought
too hard and paid too much for that, and he

(18:08):
will take his work and start his own streaming service.
He did, you know, it's the access to the library.
He didn't sell the library to them. Another I remember
when Benji wanted to do a podcast and how I
ripped him apart, said podcasts will never be a thing
and never succeed. Another I agree. I think he will
keep his library and he will come and do one
hour special interviews every so often, maybe a couple times

(18:30):
a week, but no more show. But I don't think
it will not I don't think it will be on
Serious or any other radio platform. I think he will
go on to a streaming service and still do it video.
You still do television. I think I think he can
do that. Another we don't want to hear his video
interviews any longer. It's always the same thing where he's

(18:51):
trying to psychoanalyze the guests and always brings up parent trauma.
Another person. He won't ever do a podcast, he hates him.
If he can sit back and nothing and get paid
for his library, he will allow it. Another this is
also mean from one tiny article. All this nonsense is speculation.
And yes, Howard is the greatest celebrity interviewer that has

(19:11):
ever walked this earth. If any of you ever saw
the interview with Bruce Springsteen and his TV broadcast, that
has become the template for his next endeavor. And yes,
serious will pay Royal TV for Howard's contract, but they
won't own it. So that's the part that was said.
There a lot of good comments I say off of
that was so I can appreciate all that that was

(19:33):
on my TikTok feed. And as for on YouTube, the
one persons is all true, but let's see them the
last forty years like him, another person time to retire.
I wouldn't be surprised if they pay him too much
for his content. More dated by the day Metadar eighty
nine oh eight, hilarious how he hated podcast and said

(19:53):
he should be in his studio last five years. Couldn't
drag him in the studio. He is a phony like
the people he criticizes. Whare sorry, that's a different story.
Oh that wasn't on the track, I should tell you.
So Michael Harrison did get some commentary from the interview
I've put out with him a couple of weeks ago.
Making a point from underwear Right, he says, I don't
see public media as being particularly left. I do think

(20:15):
going to a private model could be very good for
liberal media because they'll have to get support from new
places and won't have to be so careful in the reporting.
We should get a clearer picture of the political divide
slash zeitgeist. So the story coming out from Howard is
that they hot controversy doesn't go to waste. So from
inside radio they come in and say that serious. Exem

(20:38):
aired a tongue of cheek promo on Wednesday, highlighting the
speculation they could part ways with Stern and Stern's deal
is currently an estimated one hundred million dollars annually, is
technically right to be renewed or extended, but sources say
the US Sun in the in the US said the
broadcaster is not expected to return when his current five

(21:00):
five year deal contract expires. Publicly said any comments about
this so far, but the provo goes on to say
that now we can reveal, all the questions will be answered,
all the truths will be told by one man, truly
on the inside, Howard Stern will speak Tuesday, September two.
So going on with what I was talking about, a

(21:22):
source talking to The Sun that serious ExM before we
plans to make an offer, but the company has no
real expectation he will accept, and they are trying to
negotiate a deal to retain Stern's extensive audio libry. But
the Daily Show appears to be winding down and serious
ExM executives publicly frequently you're asked about Stern during media
appearances continue to high line him as one of a

(21:45):
kind talent. But at the same time they're expending their
roster with Alex Scooper and call Her Daddy, Stephen A. Smith,
Trevor Noah, the SmartLess Team, and reachent editions such as
the Morbide Rue crime podcasts series six M has stars
on multiple platforms, and at the same time, financially, they're
tightening their belt due to reduce ad revenue because they're

(22:05):
down two percent on the year over your basis and
cutting their tech and product workforced by ten percent to
operate more nimbly. So they're not gonna have the money.
The money they already spent, they already spent on the talent.
There's no more money for Stern, and I believe there's
not much more for him to go and do in
this respect, so he will be out and that's okay.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Now.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
The one thing is that Stern is currently on a
summer hiatus. He did make an unscheduled return to Serious
XM on August sixth, hosting a surprise broadcast with Metallica's
large order to announce a new Maximum Metallica channel, and
it was a promotional ad leading into cancelation rumors. We
heard about that Sirius XM has had Stern on the

(22:53):
air since two thousand and six, and his show, which
once drew twenty twenty million losers in terrestrial syndication. As
of twenty twenty, the subscriber count had two point seven
million subscribers and some claim numbers of drop significantly. Speaking
of podcasters, there's been talk about the forty four most

(23:18):
powerful players in podcasting. We're going to go through this
real quick. This is very interesting about who is that
are going to put on this list, and of course
they're all major names. This is no there are no
grassroots on this program, on this list, not at all.
The Hallwold Reporter put this out and number one on
their list it goes to SmartLess. We'll learn at Jason

(23:41):
Bateman and Sean Hayes currently on one hundred million dollar
deal at Seria six m. They have done three hundred
plus episodes so far. Celebrities include Ariana Grande going to
Tim Waltz, the former Vice mess Price presidential candidate Bill Gates,
and John Mayer. And also got Howard Stern to sent

(24:02):
it for a special team in the Hamptons. And because
of their adventure, they now have a mobile service it's
SmartLess Mobile to compete against Verizon T Mobile at and T.
Next show is The Daily that's from the New York
Times at number two. Then they also Chock Bryant and

(24:24):
Josh Clark from the Stuff You Should Know Podcasts, which
that's good ended up getting bought by iHeartRadio, which is
why they're over there. Joe Budden's podcast is in the
list here in the top five, Tucker Carlson, Alex Cooper,
Ashley Flowers, The Crime Junkie Kill, Tony and Tony Hinchcliff.

(24:45):
So some of these podcasts when they put them up
here and they're just kind of, you know, transferred over
as some of the parts of it. The Huberman Lab
Andrew Huberman New Heights is in the top ten. Of course,
the bump of Taylor's twist this appearance will probably bring
them up a little bit higher. Megan Kelly is in

(25:06):
the top fifteen here asra a Client. Also up here
The Minus Touch, Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson and their podcast. Now. So,
like I said, they've got a bunch of these people
that are all you know, they're all notable talents, notable
people doing their own podcasting. And to me, I don't

(25:31):
think all these particular shows are really big on being
popular because of who they are. I mean, all these
people in necessarily are not like incredible interviewers are really
incredible on their own without a script or with somebody
else helping and handling them. The most were all these
names on this particular Power Players of Podcasting list. The

(25:53):
thing is is that they're all with a lot of
people on board, staffing and doing their shows, and if
you listen to those shows, you listen to them for
the people they have on, like in all these podcasts. Okay,
Jay Sheddy once again, here's another one on Purpose. He's
a top twenty five show. You look at the guests

(26:15):
they've had on. He's had Colonia Kardashian, Bill Gates, Julia Fox,
Nara Smith, Cynthia Rivo and also Michelle Obama. That he
gets headlines and everybody's talking about it. But that's the
part of the thing people always talk about, is that
how many of these people are really about the shows
themselves and what they're doing. The daily probably is one
that gets a lot of people that going come in,
even though it's not guess intensive. The same thing with

(26:37):
Karris Swisher and Scott Gallaway on pivot On that's more
just the both of them working together and what they're doing.
THEO Vaughn this past weekend, he's in the top thirty,
and he's also done a lot where he gets certain
people on his program. But he is a character and

(26:58):
kind of holds his own. He doesn't do a bad job.
He's kind of like where Joe Rogan kind of fits
into the whole dynamic when you look at it, I
k I can always keep looking at Pod Save America
and I look at the names Jon Favreau and John
love It. I was like, what are we doing? I
feel like I'm saying, Okay, So is it the guy
that directors some of the Marvel movies and also directed
you know, Swingers? Is it that guy? No, it can't

(27:21):
be him. And is it John Lovett's No, No, not
the sn O guy. Okay, Just I get confused. Man,
things are a little bit too familiar. Thee oh, the executives,
and they also have hosts that are on here. That's
their whole setup. Now, what's also interesting moving on into
the world of music since we talked about Taylor Swift

(27:42):
and the fact that we have albums that will be
coming out in September October to finally kind of build
some momentum where some of the major stars are trying
to go and get themselves out there and get noticed. Well,
what new music is out there right now that's actually
making a significant impact in the summer. Hey, pop Demon
Hunters and I meant they're gonna talk about this before

(28:04):
the song Golden has now become the number one song
in the country and original animated hit by Netflix took
advantage of the shareability of streaming to reach viral status.
And this is from the rap. And now they're taking
the movie and Netflix smart moved by them at this
part to even go and consider this. They're taking the

(28:26):
movie to theaters to do sing alongs. I mean, Netflix
could have done this before, but you know what, this
is the workaround reverse, because I mean, there might be
some people that might not have been familiar with K
pop Demon Hunters in the first place when they first

(28:47):
came out, But you know, animes do pretty well in theaters.
I must say, I watched a handful of them into
the theaters, and you know, I'm surprised I haven't seen
any others this year. What's really weird in the movie theaters.
I have not seen any Bollywood movies or anime movies
because they haven't been available or they haven't made it
either put out the release or my theater doesn't have them.
I don't know some variation or the other, but I

(29:09):
don't know what happened, but I've been looking for them.
I have really tried, so now They're gonna have sting lungs.
K Pop Demon Hunters. It was released on June twentieth.
This original English English film about Hunters, a K pop
trio using the music in shart Blades to protect career
from soul devouring demons, has only Snowball and popularity passing

(29:32):
carry On and the Oscar Nomnna Don't Look Up this
week to be the second most watched film in Netflix
history in two weeks. Theaters will now partake in the
cultural phenomenon on the singamalong version of the hits big
screen for a limited weekend engagement. If I can find it,
I might go watch it.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
I want to see what it's all about. Like, the
songs are not that bad. I've seen them being charted
and I'm like, it's good. The Golden Song is really good.
I actually like that. I mean, I got on my playlist.
It's not that bad.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
I like it.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
So the rise of kate Pop Demon Hunters comes along
where Hollywood has an issue on how to get the
public engage with news stories and characters. But this should
be a shot in the arm for movie theaters to
be able to and have this out there and let's
see how long it goes. It's the same thing actually happened.
What was it last year? The year before with Aroostour,
same thing with Taylor Swift. They put it out there
as a theater showing and everybody wanted to go see it,

(30:24):
and it was amazing. The first two days of release,
Kate Pop They've been Hunter's got nine point three million viewers,
pretty sigilicate. So studio executives talked to the rap and
they said that they get why Sony decided not to

(30:46):
release Hunters in theaters, because it would have been too
hard to sell theatrically, especially with the marketing spend that
would have needed to get it a chance. I don't
think a low opening weekend could have been avoided, but
then word of mouth gets saddled with the headlines that
come from that. But they're on the right moment right
now as the song Golden gets hot. The song right

(31:07):
now is at number one, and it rides up right now.
The movie itself up the all time viewership charts for Netflix.
This past week, k popdeman Hunter's added twenty five point
four million views to its total to get it to
one hundred and eighty four point six million views over
fifty two days. Carry On had the record at a

(31:30):
one hundred and twenty two million views in its first
ninety days of streaming last year. Music's key factor to
raise awareness and interest is drawing frequent comparisons to Disney's
Frozen and its lead song let It Go. The only
other comparisons we've had since the pandemic would be Disney's

(31:52):
and Canto and Don't Talk About We Don't talk About Bruno,
which became a hit song of everything that was out there,
which I think even got the number one. That's crazy
and the songs that turbo charge of the film's viralty,
several actual K pop groups getting into it to go

(32:13):
ahead and play along with it. And one thing that
Netflix also did smart was they're alying the public to
share clips from the film and so this out there
and the songs and the whole buzz for people to
go ahead and see it in the theaters in a
single long mode. Sounds good. Also trying to do the

(32:34):
same thing with Wicked last year, and looks like your
Parbaty did really well. But yeah, everything's all set with
it an anime musical if you will, kind of the
idea what they're doing with this here K Pop demon Hunters,
but yes, number one song in the country and I'm
just glad it took Alex weren't off the top of
the charts, which is a good thing. Several weeks ago

(32:57):
we talked about Paramount being bought by sky Dance, Paramount,
CBS all together, which is great. So there was a meeting,
a media gathering at the Paramount Pictures lot where the
entire team got together to go and talk about the

(33:18):
strategy for Paramount going forward for their film, TV and
streaming business, and the co chair of Paramount Pictures, Josh Greenstein,
that's the part I wanted to go and get to that.
The studio plans to raise annual output this year. They're
going from eight movies to fifteen movies very quickly, and

(33:38):
they're looking to go and start releasing twenty films a year.
The coming slate of new installments of familiar franchise like
Star Trek, Transformers and also original movies like the newly
acquired James man goaldfilm project High Side starting Timothy Shallame
will also be featured, and they're also looking to go
ahead and she got Family Fair in the vein of

(33:58):
a Night of the Museum or the Gooney and that
the idea is to make to transform Paramount Pictures into
a haven for the most talented filmmakers and seeing emerging
technologies like AI providing a tool they enhance storytelling. That's
the plan on that one last story to bring up

(34:19):
here on the program. And that's a study from Odyssey
au Dacy, that company that still has a little bit
of debt on their books and maybe not be able
to good and get to their interest and pay it
off anytime soon. But there was a released twenty twenty
five Vision Insights and Odyssey study about sports radio or
sports audio for that matter, Sports talk radio specifically live

(34:43):
NFL play by play and sports podcasts. They engage the
most passionate NFL fans, surpassing TV and social medium, and
over eighty percent of sports audio listeners identify as avid fans,
deeply invest in games, stats and team updates. I will
say this when it comes to me, play by play
is very important because I don't necessarily have to go

(35:05):
and watch the games live. Sometimes I'm gonna be out
working or doing something else, and I want to be
able to still fall along and hear the radio call
and down here in Southward to where I'm at. You know,
the college football landscape is filled to the brim with
great play by play coverage of all the sports. With

(35:25):
the fact also we have a lot of stations. There're
also on FM, so ESPN Radio where I'm at is
VILLEA on FM. WQAM, which is the franchise or the
flagship home now for the Dolphins, Panthers, Heat, and the Marlins.
I believe they actually have them all now all in
one place. WQAM just moved themselves to the FM doll

(35:46):
after they had Waxy on the FM doll for a
number of years. But yeah, now the idea is that
WQAM is now Simon Quest on FM. They're positioning for
FM and they having themselves one hundred dollar and want signal.
So the going cash to games now on that station
is a good thing, a good powerful stick. So the

(36:08):
NFL can't fan compositioned by platform and content. They show
that avid NFL fans, eighty two percent of them will
say they're avid NFL fans listen to the sports podcasts
or sports art radio or sports radio play by play,
and that those sports audio fans are high excitement trust

(36:29):
and goodwill towards team sponsors. They also have fifty percent
more likely to have house on incomes sixteeny one hundred
thousand dollars and wild strong influence over purchasing decisions. Finally,
they say that sports audio taps into fans passion, making
your brand part of the game, not an interruption. There
we go. So that's how the show ends out for tonight.

(36:52):
And I'm glad just enclosing to go and say that
it's about time that the music industry realized this is
that stagnation. We should not be having to sit around
all year for Taylor swith album or Doja Cat or
Cardi Beard and all these others. I mean, streaming is
giving us a chance to go and catch up with
a lot of independent artists, But the labels have been

(37:16):
they've been missing the boat pretty much like that. So
come back next week for another Broadcasters podcast. Remember the
content is king, and the control of your content is
in your hands.
