2:07How is it only Thursday? I don't know. It's Thursday. Thank you, Morgan. It is very nice out, so there's that. Gonna be hot today, everyone. How hot? How did it yesterday? Yes. Oh, yesterday was hot. And there's more heat. Like the next 10 days, it's going to fluctuate, but there are going to be some record-breaking heat days. Oh, boy. And it's March, so that's, you know, it's not supposed to be hot yet. Right, so going 80 or 90 anywhere could break a record, but it's going to be hot. I was talking to Riley in New York. He's like, cats, like 75 degrees out. It's great. What? Even on the east coast? It's- you guys are having the heat. That was one and about it, being 88 degrees. How's our boy doing? Good. He loves- he's going to grad school at NYU. And he loves New York. He loves- he loves New York. The lifestyle, all the stuff. He's just really- he loves the place he lives in. He's thriving. Yeah, he seems really happy. Good for him. This part of the show is brought to my creative energy.

3:08We've been thinking about getting a hot tub. We got a couple days left. This particular sale ends on the 14th. So you got today, tomorrow, and Saturday, March 14th.

It's just- I- even if I don't get in it every single day, just like knowing that there's a pool of hot water in my backyard, I can slip into. How often do you use your hot tub? I'm not the right person to ask. My wife uses it all the time. Well, she's up when it gets cold at night. I go in the ocean. Like, that's my thing.

4:08So I'm- I'm often- You don't come home all chilly and just jump right in the hot tub. I have. Yes. But often I've gotten all of my outdoors done already when I get home and then I'm home. You can call or text us anytime. 800-400-3697. Email us too, Sarah and Vinny Radio at gmail.com. And of course, we're fully powered by San Francisco Bay coffee this morning. Delicious. It is delicious. Let's see here. I think there was something I wanted to mention. Oh, you know what? I wanted to mention this for Bob. But Bob is in Whistler, having the time of her life. I was driving her to the airport when I went, wait a minute. Where are you going? And she goes- She didn't want to say on the island. She didn't- Oh, really? Oh, I don't know. I- No, I don't- I didn't try to ask her. We just didn't ask her. No, we never asked her. We don't know who her boss is.

5:10Who would she even put in for days off with? I have- I'm not her boss. I'm not either. Yeah. No corporate. Corporate hired her to run the- We just- We just take advantage of this. Well, we love her. I'm a supervisor, but not her boss. Yeah, I don't know. So anyway, I was just- I was driving down the road and she goes, I need to go to the international terminal. I'm like, Where are you going? Whistler? You're going skiing. Yeah. And I guess it's- I mean, spring breaks on. So this is spring break time. She's going to go skiing in Canada. No. Good for her. It sounds great. I've always wanted to go to Whistler. Anyway, I was going to do this for her, but the secret lives of Mormon wives, the new season. And by the way, I don't know if everybody does this, but because it seemed like Hulu was episodic, like once per week, but they're dropping all the episodes. Let's put them all out there. That's awesome. Yeah, I know. Can you do more of that, you guys? You streaming guys.

6:11Um, there was a survey done asking if you went to the movie theater last year. The Oscars are the Sunday, and very few people see all the movies. I like to think that the Academy does watch every nominated movie because they are making these decisions. I seriously doubt any of them are going to see all these movies and theaters, but maybe they're purists and they are. Our union does make it easy or easy year to get to everything because they make them available. Right. Well, now we get links for sure. Yeah, it was better when it was DVDs sent to us so that we could just put them in watch. I love that. Yeah. And then you could, you know, hand them to your friends. Hey, there you go. It's property of Sony pictures. Now we get an email with a code and I'm way less likely to look, but you know, they do have access to these films. And if it's their job to vote, I would like to think they take it seriously. Yeah. I don't know how many Academy members there are.

7:13Which old guys, I guess. I don't know. Yeah. I think you're not automatically in that if you are a star in Hollywood, I don't think. It's probably like a lot of producers. To answer your question, though, and I don't know because you used to go to films by yourself on your way home all the time. Yeah, fairly regularly. I never went to films until I had kids. And so I go see kid movies. So you've definitely gone to the, in the last year, you've, in 2025, you have gone to the movie theater. It's absolutely one of the weekend things. Like someone goes, is there a, is there a film the kids want to see? Or I may have come home and go. How many times do you think you, it happened? Five. Okay. Maddie, did you go to any theaters last year? Yes. I saw F one of the theaters. Really? And yeah, I think that's it. I was trying to think about this. I don't think I went to the movies last year. And I've already been this year too.

8:14Oh, I take it back. I did go to the movies last year because I didn't spot movie club. Yeah. So I saw Final Tab two. Oh, there you go. I am going next weekend, though, to see I think I may go to the theater. I already bought my ticket. Oh, oh, yeah, you said that. Yeah, I'm running ticket. I'll just go during the day because I love being alone in movie theaters. It is a, I have high curiosity. And I don't want to be that guy that says, you're going to ruin my book. And so I just watch it with a sour pus. I don't want to be that guy. I want to go in and let them tell the story and see at the end if I feel satiated, whatever the term, you know, that like they did it. Yeah. I have feelings about the main character, right? And I don't want Ryan Gosling to ruin that for me. Well, I'll tell you what he's very right and Gosling in a lot of things. I don't want them to soften

9:15right any of that. There's a real blow there that makes you change your opinion greatly. And I don't want them to change that. Because the conflict there for me was was big. Like head off. Well, what it's such a great, well, someday we'll talk about it. But it is such a crazy thing that happens. And on one hand, you're like, wow, I feel bad for him. And on the other hand, it's like, you piece of how dare you. Right. What percentage of people said that they'd been to a movie theater in the past year? 25% 35% 53% wow. And I think as I think about it because I didn't even think about the kid thing. I figured you hadn't been to a movie theater. But then I was like, of course he has. He went last weekend. We look for, you know, you start seeing the ads and you go,

10:19oh, there's something to do on whatever weekend. All right. So that's a point for Maddie. Yeah. Yeah, baby. Next question. Who went more? People 18 to 29 or people over 65. I'm going to say people 18 to 24. I'll say over 65. Three of people 18 to 29 to 29. Oh, 29. Yeah, sorry. 67% of younger adults aged 18 to 29 said that they have been in the past year versus about 39% of people who are over 65 years old. Did you go to the movies a lot as a kid? Yes. Me too. Yeah. We had this place called Brockton East and it was $1.50 to go see. And but it was movies about three or four months after they'd had their first theatrical run. Oh, yeah. So you'd go see whatever the blockbuster was that past summer

11:19because your mom didn't want to pay $4 a ticket over at Westgate Mall. So we went to Brockton East instead for $1.50 in November. Oh, so you had a legit first run movie theater. You just went to the, yeah. Okay. We had one little theater in my hometown. It's not there anymore on the guy Jimmy Lambert who ran it did not care how old you were. Like I saw rated our movies at age 98. I just want your money. Yeah, go ahead in. Go on, kid. And my mom was, you know, absent most of the time working. Well, she was at the bar. No, she was working a lot. But still, she was, she was like, yeah, here's some money. Go to the movies. Well, didn't she make you make out with your second grade teacher or something? She made me, but she didn't make it, sir. Yeah, kind of. She didn't make me. She didn't say, I wanted to. She was good looking. You know, so what you would like had a conversation with before, where you were like, mom, if you can wrangle a situation where I could

12:21make out into a truck into a drunken girl party. It was her and her friend and how old were you? Third grade, second grade. Second grade. After you kissed her, were you like, are we married now? Like, what kind of handle on things did you have? I don't remember. I don't think I, I was like, oh, you know, like we're in love now, but I certainly told you what did you? Oh, yeah. These days, I get reported. Oh, yeah. Well, there's no more kissing kids that are your students. There were, I don't, it's very strange because I have trouble sort of deciding the 70s and 80s were pretty sexed up. And there were less, there was less warning about the stuff that was happening. So like, I also, I kissed a sixth grader when I was in third grade. And when I look at a third grader, I think, Jesus, what the? That's a little kid.

13:21Well, your, so your one daughter is a sixth grader. Yeah. So that's, she's playing the girl in this role. And think about like what third graders look like and picture your daughter make out with one of them. Yeah, it's very strange. I can't, I can see why. You're a head of your time, though. Well, I was hanging out with older kids. So I was hearing a lot of stuff, you know, that I should be, you know, what you should do. Is it because the kid your age didn't have pubic hair yet? And you, it wasn't because of that. It was because I skateboarded. And I was hanging out with older kids that also skateboarded. Vinnie got Vinnie filled out early. Oh, yeah. I didn't know that I did. He took off his pants in the locker room and all the other little boys. What's going on down there? Oh my goodness. We were going, we, Mike Dar had a pool. Mike Dar was one of these older kids. We all were going to skinny dip. We all took our clothes off. And all I looked up and all these boys are staring at all these older boys. Oh, and I was like, what the, what is your problem in there?

14:25Why are you guys all bald? Weird. Were they impressed? Did they ask for questions? Obviously, right? Well, I don't think he was a second grader. Old bush. Anyway, how do we end up on this? I don't know. He's got a mustache down there. What's that all about? I think it was because you were talking about making out with a sixth grader when you were, they're great. And because you were so advanced, you know, we meandered, but we got there. Okay. And that's what's important. All right. Back to the movie theater thing. Domestic ticket sales have been having a pretty steady recovery actually. As you, I'm sure, are well aware, nobody went to theaters in 2020. And it was a slow trickleback. Um, last year, over $9 billion worth of movie tickets were sold. However, in the 2020, in the 2020s, I'm sorry, in the 20 zero, the odds, the nots, and uh, 2010s,

15:25it was about 14 to 16 billion a year. So it's still far below where it was. I mean, streaming has taken a huge chunk out of that. And the turnaround time is fabulously low. Like, it feels like only a couple of weeks go by between the release of movies in theaters. And then when you can do like the premium rental, when you can or buy it, and it's 20, 30 bucks. One of the movies we saw this year already is goat. That's the cartoon that Steph put out. Steph Curry is a like producer of the story. Right. And uh, my kids already going, why can't we rent this? Hmm. Well, because it was, we saw it. It's been in theaters three weeks ago. Like calm down. Remember when you would wait months for the VCR ever, ever come out like a year. Yeah, forever. I want to say they probably ran it in theaters for however long.

16:26And then packaged it for TV. Because remember, like, there would be a special event. You know, this movie is going to premiere, but it would be cleaned up for TV. I don't remember that, but I do remember the absolute grind at Blockbuster. Between looking in the returned movies, hoping there's one from the, you know, the most recent movie. They were always empty and you go up and ask, hey, did anybody bring anybody? Yes. Yeah. Or even be looking through the little hole and hoping you can catch the title you're looking for. So there was a whole thing about wrangling your movie. But yeah, they're there. Now it's available so fast that like my kids don't get it that it's not right. I want it now and movies are going to put ham that I was going to rent that last weekend because I want to see that's like my last of the movies that I need to see for the Oscars. And it's on peacock now. Yeah, it started streaming yesterday. Yeah, and I'm like, oh my gosh. I'm so glad I didn't pay you to rent that because it came out a week later. Yeah, I know.

17:26The turnaround is, I don't know when that movie came out. It feels like not a giant wide release style movie. So it's possible. It's actually been around long enough that it's had a rental period. It had to buy it period. It had and now it's in the you have to pay a subscription. It's rental period was maybe three weeks because I saw it when it came up and I was like, I got to see that movie and then all of a sudden. Yeah, and then they turn it around and watch it for free this weekend. Well, and I'm sure they get money from peacock to buy the rights to stream it. Yeah, but Gonia was another one that peacock. I think I actually think I rented begonia. I think I paid for a lot. So anyway, 14 to 16 billion during the 2010s. The price of a ticket has also gone up in 2010. The average price of a ticket for a movie theater was $7.89. Which even that seems low to me. I mean, I was going to movies all the time in 2010. I always feel like maybe that I would pay like eight bucks to go to a matinee because

18:27that's always cheaper. And now I could probably get a senior discount. Oh, I really like the new way that you can buy tickets online. You have your seat. And that's you just just like a concert. You find your spot and sit down. I mean, you stop at concessions first, right? Yeah, absolutely. But it's I think that's it's a huge improvement in my mind. They say the average price. 16 years ago in 2010, we were paying supposedly about about eight bucks a ticket. And it is twice that now. The average price these days is 16 bucks. And I because I think about a place like, um, you know, Alamo Drafthouse or that place we went to in Timberon, the movie house that, you know, these places where you also get you can get some food, you get some drinks, which I think is cool. I would almost think they'd charge you less for a movie at a place like that. But I'm not sure that that's the case. I got a staff to pay. Anyway, there you go.

19:27One story down. Next up, Kelly Clarkson. Kelly Clarkson is undeniably the most successful contestant ever to win American Idol. There are other famous ones. Plenty of them. Very successful. But Kelly Clarkson is the one. You say definitively the most talented American Idol contestant winner ever. And when on to continue the fame, hugely, okay? You know, I'm not saying that there aren't other successful ones because they're absolutely are. I mean, Carrie Underwood, you can't deny that. Jay, Jay Hood. She's got a talk show right now. She got, didn't she maybe even get an Oscar? Oh, yeah. She got a whole. He got in that Dream World movie. I mean, I got to read some songs. I did do it like I think he's still probably takes that band out on tour. Yeah. Who else? Clayton, he's been on TV. Actually, did he to try to be a senator or a rapper or something? I think so.

20:27Yeah. The guy who actually won the season, he was on Rubin Stuttard. Where's he now? I think he died. Why true? I don't know. I didn't say it's true. I said, I think he died. I don't know. The rumors of my death are. I, I, he, he was a big man and had health problems. Now that I think about it, I don't know that I heard he died. You always see, it's funny. It doesn't say he died. It looks like he's alive. How old does it say he is now? 47 years old. Whoa. That's time. I was like, so he's probably like, you know, 32, 33 now. Jesus. Anyway, you know, Kelly Clarkson, she's a big star, huge star. She says she never received the prizes that she was promised for winning. She was having a conversation. With a very random trio, it's Kelly Clarkson, the guy who just won the trade tours, Rob Roush,

21:29and Daniel Radcliffe, Harry Potter. So this is all on her TV show. Yeah. Oh, this is on her show? This is on her show. I have the clip. Oh, great. So she set it up by asking Rob about how much money he made from the traders. I think he, I think he was trying to join in $20,000. Yeah, a lot. And he was, he didn't split with anybody. But here's what he had to say and what she said. That changed her mind. They still haven't paid me. This is, let me, you know what? I relate to this. Put the pressure off. I relate to this so hardcore. Because whenever I won, they sold my, you're, you probably weren't alive when I was on American Idol. But I, but I literally was on the show and they were like, oh, you win a million dollars or whatever. No, you didn't. They lied. You did not. No, it was like a million dollars worth of investment in you. That's great. Like, you know what I'm saying? Yes, and then, and then they said, you get a car. And I needed it because my car is bashed in. And I couldn't afford the deductible. And I, and then, and no, I did not get a car.

22:32And then Clay Aiken who didn't win the second season got a car. And his mom also got a car. You know, I would argue that the million dollars of investment that they put into her did work. But if the price is a million dollars, that's the prize. Well, the car deal like the same car these massive contracts too. Like before they were even in the top 10. It's like, we own you. I understand both sides of that. I would say what you just said is probably the, you, you could get handed a million dollars. That doesn't mean you're going to be able to record with good producers who can, and when good musicians that can package these first songs you're going to release. And you have, you're left to your own devices and you're writing your first songs in your life ever, you're probably failing. You know, and there was someone at American Idol probably to say,

23:33no, that's not a good enough, that's not a hit song. We have one for you to say. They bought her all the songs on her first record. And then her second record, she was like, no, I want to put out my own record. And here's the thing and she wrote and made a second record that failed. Oh, I didn't know that. And then she apparently said, okay, buy me more songs. And then had more hits. So that speaks to exactly what we're talking about. Those connections and the money invested on you was worth way more than a million dollars. In the end, because you could sit at your kitchen table in the dark in your after taxes, maybe $200,000 condo. And right all night, every night, and still not have a hit song. You need to have a hit. It needs to be a hit. You need Bruno. Yeah, the cheap code to a hit. All right, Vinnie, what are you got coming up? So much stuff, including the hot new trend of snake yoga.
