Speaker A

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

I probably go back to the early 2000s when she's in Destiny's Child and.

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.
