00:01:17.960 studios, out to the general
00:01:19.660 population, and in
00:01:21.920 betwixt there's a big party going on i think i was invited to it like three hours before it kicked
00:01:28.360 off and i'm a few hundred miles away couldn't make it couldn't make it wish i could i do like
00:01:35.200 a good shindig it's uh apparently an oscar party oscar oscar oscar it is the 98th oscar awards the
00:01:47.140 academy awards and um my god i really don't um care personally you know i do a show
00:01:59.260 allegedly i allegedly do a radio uh show so you know we have to sometimes comment and talk
00:02:08.960 about things we're not particularly interested in and uh i haven't really had an interest in
00:02:16.160 the academy awards in quite some time uh years ago it was great you could sit back with your
00:02:22.360 family the old tv guide had uh had a a page a full page even even more than just one page
00:02:32.040 of all the nominees and there were little boxes next to them you could check off
00:02:36.580 which one uh you thought was going to win and you'd uh you'd have your favorites and you'd make 0.99
00:02:42.760 little friendly bets with your family and then you'd all sit down and watch the the damn thing 0.95
00:02:49.280 and uh it was great it was a great family experience and um and we cared we cared about 0.98
00:02:57.360 the actors and actresses and the movies and um you know who's gonna get best uh special effects
00:03:06.160 who's going to get best sound in a foreign short film always my favorite category by the way uh
00:03:14.560 but uh now uh i they have tainted the movie industry so much so badly with their uh holier
00:03:29.340 than thou attitudes and they're we're going to uh tell you how to live your life and we're going
00:03:36.680 to tell you what america should be and they are the least qualified people they they live
00:03:44.520 away from the general public uh some of these people if they were child stars uh and they grew
00:03:54.720 up in the industry they have no clue they've never known what it was like to live amongst
00:04:03.160 the wild animals the uh the the the prairie fed americans they don't know like i've heard
00:04:16.420 leo dicaprio is a nice guy i've heard that i've had some friends uh of course that were police
00:04:22.540 officers in new york city and he would roll in with his posse for me use a word the kids are
00:04:28.220 using today posse and uh and he was very nice he was very cordial to everybody uh but that guy
00:04:38.940 has been a celebrity since he was a little child and he is now i mean he's a huge he's bigger than
00:04:48.660 he was when he's a well bigger physically too than a child but um as far as a child star goes
00:04:54.540 uh he has made it you know he actually grew up constantly in movies i don't think he was ever
00:05:01.860 out of it and then had a comeback you know and uh how does this guy that's lived that life
00:05:10.600 know anything about how the american people live their lives the struggles they have
00:05:18.000 uh their their ideologies and uh what what annoys us yeah i worked for a living don't worry about it
00:05:28.980 so it it it disqualifies them in my mind look they could talk everyone's got freedom of speech
00:05:36.960 but you kind of disqualify what they're saying because you know they don't have any credibility
00:05:44.380 or any experience in what the hell they're talking about
00:05:50.120 when it comes to living a life.
00:05:55.600 There are some celebrities that it didn't click for them until later on
00:06:00.140 or some that were child stars and then they aged out of that genre,
00:06:08.400 that place in Hollywood.
00:06:10.620 God knows the atrocities that happened to them.
00:06:13.920 And then they make a comeback and they do very well.
00:06:18.960 And maybe they can say, yeah, I've worked for a living.
00:06:22.460 I had to wait tables or park cars before I got this movie.
00:06:28.120 And at least they know.
00:06:29.400 They have some inkling of what the hell is going on in the world. 0.97
00:06:32.580 But most of these vapid, holier-than-thou jackasses that you see on the red carpet, they don't know. 0.97
00:06:42.860 They don't know. 0.94
00:06:43.660 But they have no problem telling you what you should be doing.
00:06:47.920 And that has just brillo and bleached away the shine, the glitter on old Tinseltown, Hollywood.
00:07:00.420 And I was just, as I do throughout the program, I will be checking X, X, formerly Twitter.
00:07:11.560 My account is Anthony Cumia, and I post a little thing saying I'm going to be doing this show.
00:07:16.380 And if you have comments on the show and you can't get through on the phones, you could reach me there.
00:07:22.060 I check, I read things, and my comment on it on the show.
00:07:25.940 If you want the phone line, that would be 800-848-9222.
00:07:31.720 800-848-9222.
00:07:35.060 two and uh the first thing i see this is seconds seconds in to the academy awards the host conan
00:07:44.620 o'brien conan funny guy right conan o'brien show is very funny we started losing uh him
00:07:53.860 with the haiti situation when donald trump called haiti a uh crap hole i have to adhere to certain 0.97
00:08:02.740 rules and regulations by the government uh he called it a a crap hole i'm paraphrasing 0.93
00:08:09.240 and conan thought it would be great to take his show down to haiti and do a few shows from down 0.51
00:08:17.260 there and uh talk about how wonderful haiti is and he went to a resort and he was protected by
00:08:26.460 I can't even imagine the amount of security that Conan O'Brien gets down in Haiti.
00:08:33.460 And they show him drinking a coconut drink floating in the water and saying, 0.98
00:08:38.560 ah, does this look like a crap hole? 0.99
00:08:41.060 No. 0.98
00:08:42.540 No.
00:08:44.060 I'm sure in 1968, some of the beaches of Vietnam looked awesome. 0.99
00:08:49.600 I wouldn't want to surf on them unless you're Kilgore. 0.82
00:08:53.520 but uh i i think he was trying to cover for what for the clintons all the money they contributed
00:09:02.620 that supposedly contributed that did nothing for haiti i don't know i don't know what the motive
00:09:07.380 is here but conan he lost me there i thought he was a very funny guy i thought he was a regular 0.88
00:09:13.440 kind of knock around funny guy and then he does this haiti thing no haiti is a crap hole and 0.67
00:09:20.560 especially now look at it now there's people eating other people to get their strength that's 0.99
00:09:28.220 what i hear there are uh warlords that have bizarre names buck naked general buck naked
00:09:38.080 uh is down there i don't know if he's still down there but he was
00:09:42.060 and um that doesn't sound very good to me so conan's hosting and his first joke of the night
00:09:50.900 was uh hey it's the first time since 2012 there are no british actors nominated for best actor
00:09:58.980 or best actress a british spokesperson said yeah well at least we arrest our pedophiles
00:10:05.960 get it now the the unbelievable gall to to say that joke in front of the hollywood community 0.79
00:10:22.400 probably the biggest uh collection of pedos uh there have been uh so many young stars that have 0.57
00:10:33.880 been destroyed because of the hollywood industry taking advantage of the youngsters and spitting 0.96
00:10:42.020 them out the other end of this hollywood machine uh drug addicts psychological disasters mental
00:10:50.720 patients and uh to make a joke like that and you know what he's doing is uh he's firing that one
00:10:58.720 at donald trump who's been accused of all kinds of things the epstein files and there's nothing
00:11:03.740 there's nothing there of legitimacy that you could say oh yeah they should arrest the guy
00:11:09.060 he did this that or the other thing nothing but that's what he's doing and and i'm sure they all
00:11:14.300 chuckled and laughed as they looked next to them and uh know that people in that audience they're
00:11:21.320 sitting in that well-dressed well-to-do audience they're sitting in are um are ghoulish criminals 0.93
00:11:28.800 as far as child abuse goes. 0.90
00:11:31.760 So that's how we kick it off 0.98
00:11:34.260 with a hypocritical joke 0.86
00:11:36.880 by once funny Conan O'Brien. 0.80
