00:00Why is LA actually losing out? Because I see headlines like Netflix is building a $1 billion
00:04studio in New Jersey, and no offense to New Jerseyans, but you know, we come to LA,
00:11seems pretty nice, the weather's nice, there's palm trees, I'm not sure what New Jersey has
00:15other than the tax breaks. Yeah, that's a big one, for sure. We, it's been a bit of a race
00:24at the bottom across the country, and I have worked on shows, so you mentioned Eastbound and
00:28down, we were in North Carolina, until they got rid of their tax break there, the governor sort of
00:35single-handedly ended it, and then we just ran across the border to South Carolina for the last,
00:41for their next show that they did, it was a show called Vice Principals, the Eastbound team, we shot
00:46that in South Carolina, and they've kept doing Righteous Gemstones there, like it followed the
00:51tax break, great show. I ran a show, we did a pilot for TBS, it was in Vancouver, a lot
00:56of my friends
00:57are shooting in Vancouver now, it does, and what is kind of most surprising to me, game shows, like
01:04if you see a Fox game show, or a Fox, yeah, like studio comedy, like a single cam, or a
01:11multi-cam
01:11comedy, you're, you're in Dublin, you are watching a show that is filmed in Dublin. You say Dublin?
01:17Dublin, Ireland. Dublin, Ireland, interesting. So they're flying out Rob Lowe, and an American
01:25game show contestant cast, to, that, you know, you used to, like, get, go to Universal Studios and
01:32get to just, like, be on a game show. Wait, is that a tax thing, or is it just much
01:35cheaper to operate?
01:36It's a tax and labor thing, yeah. Wow. And, and meanwhile, we have tons of studio space here.
