1
00:00:00.942 --> 00:00:06.083
Well, I left a note for David that I had a film fund and that I had a deal with 20th Century Fox.
2
00:00:06.583 --> 00:00:07.343
It was a film deal.
3
00:00:07.943 --> 00:00:09.964
They put up 50 million, I put up 50 million.
4
00:00:10.184 --> 00:00:11.984
We got $100 million to make movies with.
5
00:00:12.344 --> 00:00:15.705
But David, I think we should start a record label like they used to have.
6
00:00:15.785 --> 00:00:19.085
They used to have a 20th Century Fox Records back in the day.
7
00:00:19.645 --> 00:00:21.826
I said, so you and I should start up Fox Records.
8
00:00:21.926 --> 00:00:22.706
So we go have dinner.
9
00:00:22.746 --> 00:00:24.206
But this Wednesday, we went to Shakeda.
10
00:00:24.546 --> 00:00:29.787
I did tell him to go to an Indian restaurant, but David said that Iman makes the best chicken curry in the world.
11
00:00:31.276 --> 00:00:32.376
I didn't want to argue with that one.
12
00:00:32.756 --> 00:00:34.037
And off we go to Chiquita.
13
00:00:34.437 --> 00:00:35.337
We talked about everything.
14
00:00:35.817 --> 00:00:36.778
We got this big booth.
15
00:00:38.518 --> 00:00:40.059
You see my eye, it's going over there.
16
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:41.219
This is my good eye.
17
00:00:41.839 --> 00:00:43.140
Though he's got the same situation.
18
00:00:43.180 --> 00:00:44.480
He's got a good eye, one bad eye.
19
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:46.221
So we're sitting there in the booth.
20
00:00:46.241 --> 00:00:47.021
He's sitting to my left.
21
00:00:47.341 --> 00:00:48.321
Our eyes are locked in.
22
00:00:48.742 --> 00:00:50.342
Man, we were talking.
23
00:00:51.663 --> 00:00:52.843
We talked about a lot of stuff.
24
00:00:54.023 --> 00:00:54.824
And it was intense.
25
00:00:55.164 --> 00:00:56.264
It really was intense.
26
00:00:56.504 --> 00:00:59.045
Because the guy doesn't like, you know, guy doesn't chill.
27
00:01:00.045 --> 00:01:02.206
He's like, brain's going like that.
28
00:01:02.506 --> 00:01:07.607
The next day, he brings me four CDs and a note.
29
00:01:08.687 --> 00:01:10.688
And in the note it says, Tim, please give a listen to this.
30
00:01:11.928 --> 00:01:12.568
See what you think.
31
00:01:14.188 --> 00:01:18.989
When I think about it, what a damn compliment because it's David Bowie, man.
32
00:01:19.510 --> 00:01:22.030
And he's asking me for my opinion on these four bands.
33
00:01:23.411 --> 00:01:28.272
But then I told him, he's standing in my living room and I said, look, David, I'll be the business guy.
34
00:01:28.312 --> 00:01:29.192
You'll be the visionary.
35
00:01:29.913 --> 00:01:31.835
and we'll have a vision, right?
36
00:01:32.315 --> 00:01:35.358
Artist friendly, fair to the artist, artist royalties.
37
00:01:35.518 --> 00:01:37.399
We wanna make sure artists are always earning.
38
00:01:38.100 --> 00:01:39.922
It's music first, money later.
39
00:01:40.662 --> 00:01:41.603
That's the deal.
40
00:01:42.624 --> 00:01:45.246
And we set up Fox Records and we'll start this process.
41
00:01:45.426 --> 00:01:51.411
That note that he gave me, I just kind of flipped it right on the sofa and he's kind of looking like childishly like, what'd you do with that note?
42
00:01:52.492 --> 00:01:54.754
And I go, so I look at it in my cushions and there it is.
43
00:01:55.074 --> 00:01:55.475
I found it.
44
00:01:57.190 --> 00:02:01.233
I just realized it's written by him and signed by him.
45
00:02:01.713 --> 00:02:02.854
Obviously, this means a lot.
46
00:02:02.894 --> 00:02:04.255
But, you know, I didn't think about those things.
47
00:02:04.295 --> 00:02:05.696
I didn't think about it.
48
00:02:06.057 --> 00:02:11.681
And then he points out, make sure he points out that that is a self-portrait lithograph that he did in Switzerland.
49
00:02:12.522 --> 00:02:13.182
That's on the card.
50
00:02:13.602 --> 00:02:16.144
Unfortunately, I lost it during the Northridge earthquake.
51
00:02:16.985 --> 00:02:20.107
California mudslides, fires, earthquakes.
52
00:02:20.227 --> 00:02:21.068
You lose a lot of stuff.
53
00:02:21.749 --> 00:02:23.010
But he's looking at my coffee table.
54
00:02:23.030 --> 00:02:23.390
Okay.
55
00:02:24.065 --> 00:02:25.687
And he sees this film and he goes, what?
56
00:02:26.027 --> 00:02:27.488
Tim, what's that?
57
00:02:28.549 --> 00:02:33.634
I go, David, this is the Palm Pilot Trio.
58
00:02:34.713 --> 00:02:37.316
This screen is where everybody's going to see everything with.
59
00:02:37.696 --> 00:02:39.698
Music, films are going to be on this.
60
00:02:39.978 --> 00:02:41.360
This is where we're going to put music.
61
00:02:41.640 --> 00:02:54.573
And this, with the satellites that News Corp has, that 20th Century Fox has access to, we're going to put all people's music to 1.8 billion people around the world in Southeast Asia.
62
00:02:54.733 --> 00:02:55.174
That's all.
63
00:02:56.375 --> 00:02:58.277
We're going to go satellite and mobile.
64
00:02:59.668 --> 00:03:01.429
Guys, this was before the iPhone.
65
00:03:01.709 --> 00:03:10.954
Thanks to John Hartnett, who was then the vice president of Palm, he sent a whole bunch over, and David and his team took their concerts with Nine Inch Nails.
66
00:03:12.135 --> 00:03:16.778
And that's why I invited David, so he could meet everybody on the next episode.
67
00:03:19.339 --> 00:03:20.300
What happens at the party?

00:00:00.942 --> 00:00:06.083

But this Wednesday, we went to Shakeda.
10
00:00:24.546 --> 00:00:29.787
I did tell him to go to an Indian restaurant, but David said that Iman makes the best chicken curry in the world.
11
00:00:31.276 --> 00:00:32.376
I didn't want to argue with that one.
12
00:00:32.756 --> 00:00:34.037
And off we go to Chiquita.
