| 0:08.8 | Well, we'll talk to Roger Friedman in a moment. |
| 0:11.7 | We're hunting for him as we speak. |
| 0:14.4 | Little controversy yesterday, the health and human services, |
| 0:19.2 | you know, the Robert F. Kennedy, Dr. Oz was there, Brooke |
| 0:22.1 | Rollins for this thing. They redid the food pyramid. I don't know if it's good or bad. |
| 0:28.0 | Do you know anybody actually looks at this food pyramid? Do you know anybody that follows the |
| 0:31.8 | before you eat these? Let me check that food pyramid. So they want you to eat more protein. |
| 0:37.0 | The good part is less sugar. That's the good part. We'll get back to that. Anyway, Roger Friedman, the great entertainment reporter, his website, you should check it every day. There's always great stories. Showbiz 411.com. Showbiz 411.com. Roger Friedman, how you doing? I'm great. Good morning. How are you? Good. Hey, we haven't talked to this couple of weeks. I've got to catch up on a few things. One. Okay. Marty Supreme, they talked about it as the biggest movie of the year. It's doing okay, but it's not... It's doing great. Did you see that I used your picture? Yeah. I featured you. I know. It was great. I actually |
| 1:14.2 | knew the real Marty Supreme, uh, who by the way had nothing to do with this movie. He was the |
| 1:19.1 | ping pong champion, but this stuff with the shooting. It's inspired by him. The idea of the movie is |

| 1:39.8 | It's not like number one every week. |
| 1:42.1 | Well, you know, Avatar is out. So that's like the big commercial movie of the moment. But Marty Supreme is up to like, uh, $60 million, I think after just a couple of weeks. That's great. Are you kidding? Oh, okay. That's wonderful. It's a great movie. Oh, yeah. It's a great movie. Everybody should go see it. When does it start streaming? Because some people wait for that. Oh, it's not, oh, it's a 61 million. That's fantastic after 20 days. And the first few days were not really, they were just in two theaters. Yeah. No, it's doing great. It won't be streaming for a long time. |
