All right, let's go to the lightning round, you guys.
Speaker AJeff, you get the first question here.
Speaker A711 has snagged the naming rights to Live Nations.
Speaker AWhen we were young, a pop, punk, emo festival held annually in Las Vegas.
Speaker AIt's the first time Live Nation has sold the rights for a US festival.
Speaker AJeff, what's the best music festival you've ever attended?
Speaker AOr if you haven't attended one yet, which one would you most like to attend?
Speaker BGreat question.
Speaker BIt's been a while, but the last music festival that was worth this response, I was actually outside of Auckland.
Speaker BI don't even know what the festival was called.
Speaker BI'd met some random travelers in my early 20s and got invited to a concert with.
Speaker BIt was major.
Speaker BLaser, Pearl Jam, Snoop was there.
Speaker AOh, my God.
Speaker BIt was definitely quite the day, but I couldn't even tell you the name of it.
Speaker BIt was outside of Auckland and it was a party.
Speaker ASo naming, naming rights are relevant.
Speaker AIt's really about who's there.
Speaker ASo hopefully when we were young, pop, emo and punk festival, they get some good people to headline that show.
Speaker BI think that's the takeaway.
Speaker CIt's reported that Miami Vice is getting a reboot from Maverick Top Gun, maverick director Joseph Kaczynski.
Speaker CI'm curious, are you more Crockett or Tubbs?
Speaker DWhy choose?
Speaker CWhy choose?
Speaker CAll right, you're.
Speaker CYou're equally in on both.
Speaker CYou're.
Speaker CYou're.
Speaker CYou're equally invested.
Speaker CYour portfolio is 50.
Speaker DI love.
Speaker DI love their style and I love.
Speaker DI love what they represent.
Speaker DSo I can't wait to.
Speaker DI can't wait for it to come out.
Speaker AOh, my God.
Speaker AAll right, question number three.
Speaker ALuis, this goes back to you.
Speaker ATarget just launched a line of sustainable wine that will be served in new compostable paper wine bottles.
Speaker AI have to know, Louise, being the Frenchman on our show, would you ever bring a paper wine bottle to a party?
Speaker AOr are you drinking at this.
Speaker AThis at home, or are you buying it at all now?
Speaker DYou said it.
Speaker DI'm French.
Speaker DI would never bring that to a party.
Speaker DBut I actually appreciate the industry's.
Speaker DThe wine industry's ability to.
Speaker DTo transform and adapt and bring, you know, more sustain.
Speaker DAnd in fact, those bottles look pretty cool.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker DSo maybe, Maybe one day.
Speaker DMaybe one day.
Speaker DAnd I remember when it used to be you go from cork to screw caps.
Speaker DAll the classic French people were up in arms.
Speaker DAnd in fact, it keeps the wine better.
Speaker DAnd it's got lots of advantages, so.
Speaker DAnd people have grown used to them, so we'll see about the paper bottles.
Speaker AOh, boy.
Speaker CSo, Louise, follow up question that if someone were.
Speaker CIf you were at a party and somewhere were to.
Speaker CSomeone were to bring a paper wine bottle to the party, would you disdain them?
Speaker CAs a Frenchman, I'm curious.
Speaker DNo, I would actually be curious to try what's in it.
Speaker CAll right, nicely done.
Speaker CNicely done.
Speaker CAll right, last one.
Speaker CBeyonce kicked off the Cowboy Carter tour on Monday in Inglewood, California.
Speaker CJeff, this one is just for you.
Speaker CWhat is your favorite Beyonce song?
Speaker BI may get skewered for this response, but and only because I'm a country fan.
Speaker BI have to go with Texas hold'em for.
Speaker BFor the new age.
Speaker BBut if we're.
Speaker BIf we're talking Beyonce, see, I.
Speaker BI probably go back to the early 2000s when she's in Destiny's Child and.
Speaker BAnd go, bills, bills, bills.
Speaker CNice.
Speaker AI love that you appro.
Speaker AI love that Jeff appropriately quoted Destiny's Child so that Michelle and all the other team get incorporated into that.
Speaker AIncluded in that song.
Speaker AThe headlines for that song, but.
Speaker AOh, man.
Speaker AI got a bodyguard.
Speaker ABodyguard is the best Beyonce song, I think, of all time from this album.
Speaker AI.
Speaker AI'm so upset that they're not going to be.
Speaker AIt's not coming through Minneapolis, so might have to catch him on the road.
Speaker COh, man.
Speaker CIt's not.
Speaker COh, wow.
Speaker CWell, I'm gonna go with all the single ladies.
Speaker CAll the single ladies.
Speaker CAnd we're gonna also.
Speaker ADestiny's Child.
Speaker AYes.
Speaker CYeah, it was.
Speaker CI thought that was Beyonce, Jeff, way in here.
