Another Alyssa Radio Interview

[robertq]

I just found another interview Alyssa gave to a Seattle radio station to promote her appearance. This one is classier than the earlier one posted.

Click on the "Shows" icon then scroll down to Thursday Oct 16, 5:00-6:00 then click on play it or download it.

Her interview happened at 5:30, so unfortunately you are forced to listen to the entire hour block of the show. The good part is no commercials, so in the playback mode her interview starts at 13:55 into the playback. The wait is worth it. She does talk about "SWP" and says production will start in 3 weeks, so that is early November. As for an actual airdate she can't confirm that, as it depends on openings in ABC's schedule. Though she hopes it will be on by February.

It would want to be, that last announcer was a bit too much....facetious twit:eek:

But you get those, especially amongst radio announcers. Lyssie was too professional for the guy. You have to wonder what she was feeling afterwards. I can imagine she had a sickly feeling in her stomach after putting up with him the way she did. Just another one of those juvenile shock jocks.

Hey guys

I'm sure Alyssa just hung up the phone and maybe thought "What a jerk" and just blew it off as another dumb radio jock.

I'm sure she doesn't let these things bother her.

Morning/Evening, guys.

Yeah, I doubt such a childish interview stays on Alyssa's mind for long.
Thanks for posing this interview - much better than Mitch's lame attempt.

Anybody got any (links to) old interviews?

I don't think she'd let it bother her, either. But you'd still come away feeling a little squeamish, though. Much like having eaten something that didn't agree with you.

Needs "alka selsa":D:D

[JTmist]

Wow, I was really hoping this one would be better than the KJR interview. Of course it would not take much to do that. At least she was able to talk more about the new show and her Dodgers. I guess there is a lesson to be learned here somewhere. Thanks again for the Link! At least with media player I could fast forward through all the garbage before her interview started.

Don't you just love it when some drive time FM jock swatting down 5 figures a year in a 4 year career arc takes an attitude? I'd just be repeating myself from the other interview thread, but if you've ever met one of these guys, they have egos that just don't quit. And reallllllly screwed up personal lives.

I think Alyssa is incredibly brave by sticking to her guns defending her baseball fandom. She takes an awful lot of flack for having dated players as if that somehow throws her real agenda into question. And like she says, Jose Conseco can date supermodels all the time and nobody gives him heat. There's a double standard between men and women celebs, I think. A woman is seen as somehow promiscuous or gold digging, but not men. I mean, I'm sure AJM makes more money in residuals from Charmed in one day than most of these guys do in a year, so money's certainly not her motive. And she could date any man on the planet, so why would baseball players be any different?

I think the real challenge is that someone this beautiful, talented, famous and wealthy is going to have every move she makes scrutinized, from dating to where she has her oil changed. She probably could not date anyone without enduring the withering scrutiny of someone, so it's not much of a surprise that she should be hiding her current interest from public view. And imagine the flack he would catch. I mean talk about being scrutinized...

Lyssie could buy and sell most of these guys with her small change.

The problem as I see it is that there's far too many people out in civvie street that thrive on the trash that these guys, including the paparazzi, dish up. They live their live vicariously through the nonsense they hear about celebs and others. Quite frankly, it's rather pathetic. That's why people like Lyssie have to endure the nonsense they cop day in and day out. I feel sorry for Lyssie, she could never truly have a normal relationship with a guy. Just to walk down the street in each other's arms without having some nosey parker stick their big beak into their business would be impossible. The only way they could have a normal life (if there's such a thing) would be if Lyssie just dropped off the edge of the planet and went to lead a private life doing something else....but I can't see that ever happening, not for a long while at least.

I'd fix these paparazzi, and damn the constitution. I'd make it a criminal offense to harass people the way they do, and any of these "spy" piccies that they take....make it a 10-15 year prison sentence and a million dollar fine. Too many of these fools hide behind the 1st, and it's an abuse of their rights and privileges, let alone an abuse of those of others.

With freedom comes responsibility, and that's something these guys lack in abundance.

[banjoist2008]

I agree completely, Ozzie. What I don't get about the whole paparazzi deal is just what rights they do have. Zoee told me in an offline post that Alyssa and her mom own the rights to most of Alyssa's photos. Doesn't someone have to have consent to photograph another person? A gig that we did a couple of weeks ago wound up on the evening news that night. I didn't catch it, but the next day someone told us about it and I went to the channel 8 news site only to find out that I would have to pay 32 dollars for rights to download the 5 minute clip that my band was in that was taken without our knowledge or our consent. I guess I don't understand the law. That implies to me that anyone can take a photo or movie of anyone else, use it for profit without the permission of the person photographed, and retain complete ownership of the photo.

What also amazes me about these guys is how they pop up everywhere. Stars go to some third world island nation that's not even on the map, and somehow someone manages to shoot telephoto shots of them at the beach. But, you know, they are doing this because the Inquirer will pay 60 thousand for a shot of a celeb in a bikini. And they pay that because people (not you or I!) buy their newspapers and help them sell space to advertisers. I mean, I can understand the supply and demand of the whole deal. I would like to know a little more about the law concerning these guys, though. The Constitution, as flexible and broad reaching as it is, was not conceived of by guys who thought someone would being using freedoms of press and speech to make 60k stealing someone else's image. I'd love to see the Supreme Court take this up. I know this really hit the fan when it was impuned that Diana was killed by hounding paparazzi, but I don't see any evidence of photographic censorship as a result of it.

I mean, shouldn't your image, whether in a camera, a mirror, the eyes of another person, by your's, and your's alone to own and control including the making of money from it?

[Four:Ten]

Valid points, friend.
Almost invariably, the rights to photos belong to the people who took them. The only exception is if that person was assigned to take those particular shots, in which case, it is usually in the contract that the shots belong to the assignee.
Scouts aren't always under contract - they work in their own time, and at their own expense, and retain the rights to the photos they shoot - they can choose who to sell to, and how much for.
Usually, they make far more money selling the rights exclusively.

However, if you make available images of somebody without their consent (in the form of a signed release), which could reasonably bring about embarrassment or worse (for example, somebody puking in an alley, undressing, etc.), you could easily lose a law suit to the person concerned.

If the subject of the photo or film has a reasonable expectation of privacy, then you are violating it to publish images - again only if they're doing something compromising.
If you publish a photo of someone sleeping in a dark corner at night, where they are likely to go un-noticed, you still have the right to make money from that photo, and still own the rights. Somebody sees a photo of themselves sleeping, and it's not going to cause a great deal of distress. You publish someone getting it on (without their consent), you're not going to get away with it. Of course, if they consent, you have every right to publish someone getting it on and make plenty of cash from it.

That's UK photographic copyright law in a nutshell.

...That's UK photographic copyright law in a nutshell.

Tom

Wow, Tom. Something tells me this is your area of expertise! Thanks for all this. I've read it a couple of times now and I am seeing all kinds of legal wiggle room in there for judges to determine. If I read you right, the intention and interpretation of the photo play a big role. I had no idea. God, no wonder the celebs get furious at these guys.

Thanks - lot's of knowledge on this list!

Jim:eek: Yes Jim I fully agree.This is a very good idea she keeps her current interest hidden. I am sure he can fully appreciate the love she has for him.

He better! He's the luckiest man ever born of woman...

Jim

[Ilovebrunettes]

I gotta admit that until I watched the interview with Alyssa on NFL's site, I had no idea she's been dating recently. Whoever this mystery man is, he's the luckiest guy in the world. Judging by the fact that their relationship has been going strong for 2 years now, I'd say that Alyssa has possibly found the man of her dreams. I couldn't imagine a woman like her being single for too long.

Zach

[banjoist2008]

Me, too. Zach. She had mentioned on one of her MLB blogs earlier this year that there was a "boyfriend", but I read that more like "date". Two years is an admirable period of time to date. I think she's playing it really safe and cool this time. I always got the feeling that the short marriage to Cinjun Tate left her determined not to repeat the past. I just went to my sister's fourth wedding this weekend, so I have a lot of respect for Alyssa in this regard.

But, of course, to be totally honest, my heart sank a little to hear about the two year boyfriend. I've never loved someone else so much that I want them to be happy with another person, but I do want Alyssa to have happiness. I could never stop loving her, I know this much, anyway. No matter how fruitless, ridiculous, pointless and futile it is, I can't imagine it any other way. Yes, he is the luckiest man on the planet...
