All right, let's go to the lightning round, you guys.
Speaker A:Jeff, you get the first question here.
Speaker A:711 has snagged the naming rights to Live Nations.
Speaker A:When we were young, a pop, punk, emo festival held annually in Las Vegas.
Speaker A:It's the first time Live Nation has sold the rights for a US festival.
Speaker A:Jeff, what's the best music festival you've ever attended?
Speaker A:Or if you haven't attended one yet, which one would you most like to attend?
Speaker B:Great question.
Speaker B:It's been a while, but the last music festival that was worth this response, I was actually outside of Auckland.
Speaker B:I don't even know what the festival was called.
Speaker B:I'd met some random travelers in my early 20s and got invited to a concert with.
Speaker B:It was major.
Speaker B:Laser, Pearl Jam, Snoop was there.
Speaker A:Oh, my God.
Speaker B:It was definitely quite the day, but I couldn't even tell you the name of it.
Speaker B:It was outside of Auckland and it was a party.
Speaker A:So naming, naming rights are relevant.
Speaker A:It's really about who's there.
Speaker A:So hopefully when we were young, pop, emo and punk festival, they get some good people to headline that show.
Speaker B:I think that's the takeaway.
Speaker C:It's reported that Miami Vice is getting a reboot from Maverick Top Gun, maverick director Joseph Kaczynski.
Speaker C:I'm curious, are you more Crockett or Tubbs?
Speaker D:Why choose?
Speaker C:Why choose?
Speaker C:All right, you're.
Speaker C:You're equally in on both.
Speaker C:You're.
Speaker C:You're.
Speaker C:You're equally invested.
Speaker C:Your portfolio is 50.
Speaker D:I love.
Speaker D:I love their style and I love.
Speaker D:I love what they represent.
Speaker D:So I can't wait to.
Speaker D:I can't wait for it to come out.
Speaker A:Oh, my God.
Speaker A:All right, question number three.
Speaker A:Luis, this goes back to you.
Speaker A:Target just launched a line of sustainable wine that will be served in new compostable paper wine bottles.
Speaker A:I have to know, Louise, being the Frenchman on our show, would you ever bring a paper wine bottle to a party?
Speaker A:Or are you drinking at this.
Speaker A:This at home, or are you buying it at all now?
Speaker D:You said it.
Speaker D:I'm French.
Speaker D:I would never bring that to a party.
Speaker D:But I actually appreciate the industry's.
Speaker D:The wine industry's ability to.
Speaker D:To transform and adapt and bring, you know, more sustain.
Speaker D:And in fact, those bottles look pretty cool.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker D:So maybe, Maybe one day.
Speaker D:Maybe one day.
Speaker D:And I remember when it used to be you go from cork to screw caps.
Speaker D:All the classic French people were up in arms.
Speaker D:And in fact, it keeps the wine better.
Speaker D:And it's got lots of advantages, so.
Speaker D:And people have grown used to them, so we'll see about the paper bottles.
Speaker A:Oh, boy.
Speaker C:So, Louise, follow up question that if someone were.
Speaker C:If you were at a party and somewhere were to.
Speaker C:Someone were to bring a paper wine bottle to the party, would you disdain them?
Speaker C:As a Frenchman, I'm curious.
Speaker D:No, I would actually be curious to try what's in it.
Speaker C:All right, nicely done.
Speaker C:Nicely done.
Speaker C:All right, last one.
Speaker C:Beyonce kicked off the Cowboy Carter tour on Monday in Inglewood, California.
Speaker C:Jeff, this one is just for you.
Speaker C:What is your favorite Beyonce song?
Speaker B:I may get skewered for this response, but and only because I'm a country fan.
Speaker B:I have to go with Texas hold'em for.
Speaker B:For the new age.
Speaker B:But if we're.
Speaker B:If we're talking Beyonce, see, I.
Speaker B: probably go back to the early: Speaker B:And go, bills, bills, bills.
Speaker C:Nice.
Speaker A:I love that you appro.
Speaker A:I love that Jeff appropriately quoted Destiny's Child so that Michelle and all the other team get incorporated into that.
Speaker A:Included in that song.
Speaker A:The headlines for that song, but.
Speaker A:Oh, man.
Speaker A:I got a bodyguard.
Speaker A:Bodyguard is the best Beyonce song, I think, of all time from this album.
Speaker A:I.
Speaker A:I'm so upset that they're not going to be.
Speaker A:It's not coming through Minneapolis, so might have to catch him on the road.
Speaker C:Oh, man.
Speaker C:It's not.
Speaker C:Oh, wow.
Speaker C:Well, I'm gonna go with all the single ladies.
Speaker C:All the single ladies.
Speaker C:And we're gonna also.
Speaker A:Destiny's Child.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker C:Yeah, it was.
Speaker C:I thought that was Beyonce, Jeff, way in here.
Speaker C:It was Destiny's Child.
Speaker C:Oh, it was.
Speaker C:Okay.
Speaker C:All right, all right.
