(00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kellyon demand from KFI AM six forty.
The PBS Short Film Festival returns onMonday, July fifteenth, and it runs
through Friday, July twenty six toall PBS and stationed digital platforms, including
PBS dot org, YouTube, andthe PBS app. The twenty twenty four

(00:20):
festival is themed story Time and itcelebrates the art of short form storytelling and
will feature fifteen different independent films selectedfor their impact and stories that reflect a
variety of American cultures, families,and experiences. Tarren Jackson, director Editorial
and Brand Engagement at PBS, ishere to give us a look behind the
scenes at the film festival, aswell as preview some of the featured shorts,

(00:45):
and she joins me right now onthe show, Tarran, thank you
for coming on this evening. Howare you? I am doing well.
Thank you so much for having me. For thirteen years, the festival has
showcased films about love, acceptance,family, strength, equality, friendship,
loyal to you, so much more. But what was the impetus for this
film festival? What gave birth tothis? The film festival started all the

(01:07):
way back in twenty twelve, andwe wanted to make sure that we were
highlighting and celebrating independent film and independentfilmmaking. You know, PBS has been
the home of documentary films for avery, very long time, and we
already knew that, but we werelike, is there a way where we
can bring more visibility even more tofilms and filmmaking on the independent level.

(01:32):
So what we decided to do isdo a festival. So that's how we
started in twenty twelve, just wantingto bring even more awareness to independent film,
independent filmmakers and giving them a trustedplatform to tell their stories. The
visual media landscape has changed so muchin the past twenty years. I need

(01:52):
not tell you. You can realisticallyshoot a movie on an iPhone, you
can edit it on your laptop,and thanks to the Internet and YouTube,
you can get it out to theworld for them to see. That was
unheard of some two decades ago.How would you characterize the growth of independent
filmmaking and that changing landscape. Ilove it. I am a supporter of

(02:15):
creators telling their stories. That iswhat this is all about, and that's
why I love that PBS is stillhere to help these like you mentioned there's
so many different platforms, so manydifferent ways for people to tell their stories.
But PBS has always been accessible,So you have the trusted brand and
platform of PBS as well as theaccessibility because you can find all of this

(02:38):
great content like you mentioned on ourapp, YouTube channel, facebook page,
on our PBS dot org slash FilmFestival show page. There's so many ways
to interact with this content. SoI think that you know, while I
support completely support content creators getting theircontent out anyway that they see fits,

(02:58):
I do feel that they're still aplace for a trusted public media brand to
help bring this content to light.Let's get into the PBA Short Film Festival,
which runs, as I said earlier, across all PBS stations and digital
platforms between July fifteenth and July twentysixth. What should someone like me who
is a public media fan be onthe lookout for. Well, I want

(03:21):
you to schedule time to sit downand watch all fifteen Okay, I'm gonna
give you some highlights that I reallydo feel like there's a lot for you
know, everyone to just run thegam of emotions and their feelings because there's
something for everyone. We have acouple of standout. I mean, there's
a lot of standouts, but oneof the ones that really touches my heart
is Caught the Forgotten Ones. Itfollows Willie Smith. They call him Billy

(03:46):
Brown. He's a seventy five yearold black man, and you know that
resonated with me because that's he's thesame age as as my parents, and
he's lived on the streets of Hollywoodfor nearly forty years. And why he
battled both like drug use an alcoholabuse. He's getting his life all the
way together. And as he startspiecing his life back together, that's where
the film picks up. So youget to see this beautiful story of redemption.

(04:09):
And I just I love that.And that's one of the films that
even after I screened it, Ithought about it. But long after,
long after I finished watching it,we also and you know this is an
acchoirt taste, but we have ourfirst musical as a short film. It's
presented by Louisiana Public Broadcasting. It'scalled The Ballad of may Rose. So
this description is gonna provide more You'regoing to have more questions than I'm going

(04:32):
to give you answers. But that'swhy we need people to watch these films.
It's a creative musical that portrays aserious story. Edwin Gray he is
our star of this film. Heloses his first wife and he finds himself
at the funeral of his child,rose May, who despite suspicion, fell
prey to a plague. So it'sa really different story and the way it's

(04:54):
told, it's very different and interesting. It's like a musical at a funeral.
So I can't wait to hear peoplethink about that one. There's also
another film called Take Me Home,and this is by This is presented by
CAM the Center for Asian American Media, and this is about two sisters.
One of them has a cognitive disabilityand has been taken care of by her

(05:15):
mother for so long, but hermom falls ill, so now her other
sister has to come in and helpand it's a struggle, but these sisters
find their way together and it's sucha beautiful story. And so yeah,
that's another one that had me,you know, just in my feelings for
the entire day even after, youknow, after watching it. So these
stories are told, they're short stories, so you can get through a lot

(05:36):
of films and the short amount oftime, but the impact that they leave
is a big one. Public mediawas a part of my educational development as
a child and part of my professionalgrowth as an adult, having worked many
years in public radio. What wouldyou say is the importance of public media
in today's world, in this twentyfirst century. One of the biggest things

(06:00):
is the accessibility. And I knowthat I already talked about that, but
that is really big and that's whypublic media means so much to me.
That's why I've been working in thispublic media space for sixteen years. It'll
be sixteen years next month. It'sbecause projects like the PBA Short Film Festival.
They're born out of PBS's mission topresent programs that capture the lived experiences

(06:20):
and rich diversity of all Americans andprovide a platform where audiences can see their
personal stories are the stories of peoplethat they love reflected. So just like
a lot of PBS programming, thefestival also aims to amplify the work of
up and coming independent filmmakers from acrossthe nation, fresh perspectives and a unique

(06:41):
window into communities that are rarely giventhe spotlight. And that's why the Film
Festival means so much to me becausepublic media provides access to people that would
not normally get it, you know, so from the people that are creating
the content to the people that areconsuming the content. PBS is there on
the front end and on the backend. That's why I believe that PBS
and public media as a whole isso important. It is very important.

(07:05):
It cannot go anywhere because it's areflection of the country, you know,
public media should be that mirror,and I feel that PBS provides that.
I remember how I found PBS whenI was a child, but I'm quite
sure it's very different than how youngpeople are finding PBS or public media more
generally today. In your professional experience, how are people the gen z Ers

(07:28):
of the world finding public media?You know, it's it comes in a
lot of different ways. And Ithink that that is the beauty of the
film festival, because what will happen? You know, like you said,
we have our story right how welike turned on the TV and we saw
something and couldn't turn away. Wesaw our first you know performance from great
performances or even you know, aPBS kids show, and then we were
hooked. You know, kids theyconsume so much media and it's right in

(07:54):
their faces, and it's so fast, and it's so quick, and so,
you know, PBS and other publicmedia entities, I do feel like
we're doing a good job of keepingup with the time. You know,
PBS has their own TikTok, Wehave our own TikTok channel. You know,
we're across all of our you know, the social media platforms. So
it's important for public media to stayin the conversation, you know, that
way. But I still think thehook is the same. I think you

(08:15):
come across something that you did notnormally, you wouldn't be interested in.
You didn't think that it resonates withyou, you didn't think it was a
big deal, and then that storypulls you in and you can't turn away.
It sparks your curiosity and then yougo deeper. And public media still
does that. And so it mightbe different. It might be on a
YouTube right on a YouTube channel,it might be you know, on a

(08:37):
TikTok, or it might come froma Facebook post or an Instagram story,
but the story is still the same, and you know, just that access
that public media provides that curiosity thatsparked out of that. So while the
entry point may be different, theimpact is the same. Taron Jackson is
the director Editorial and brand Engagement forPBS, and we've been talking about the

(08:58):
PBS Short Film Festival, which runsMonday, July fifteenth through Friday July twenty
six. Miss Jackson, thank youso much for coming on Later with mo
Kelly this evening, and I'll besure to be tuning in myself. Thank
you so much for having me.You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on
demand from KFI AM six forty KFIAM six forty. It's Later with mo

(09:20):
Kelly live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. And I'll just tell you upfront.
At the end of the segment,we'll give away our not one, not
two, but three pairs of ticketsto Drunk Theater, La, the wildest
improv comedy show around where one comediantakes five shots of whiskey in a row
and tries to perform and improvise playwith five sober comedians. The show is

(09:43):
tomorrow night, so you have tobe able to go to the show tomorrow
night at the Santa Monica Playhouse andGroup Theater. That's at the end of
this segment. Three pairs of tickets. But before we get there, we
have to talk about the most recentepisodes of both The Acolyte on Disney Plus
and The Boys on Amazon Prime.The Acolyte has been highly criticized, highly

(10:07):
discussed, as in dscussed, andalso there's been much discussed DS gust surrounding
the series. The content of theseries. I thought in episode five that
had taken a turn for the better, had some of the best action I'd
ever seen in a Star Wars property. And then after that we got a

(10:30):
lot of walking and talking and illogicalplot twists and horrible writing and more horrible
acting. And now I'm back towhere I started, where really I disliked
this series top to bottom. I'mgonna have to take it a step further.
Oo. I hate this show now, Okay, after this week's episode,

(10:52):
I officially despise this series. Andyou cannot say, coming from U
MO or me, that we havea problem with the wonkness. This is
not a problem with the wontness ofthis series. Casting has nothing with it
being women, nothing like that.Nothing. It has every single thing to

(11:13):
do with this show having some ofthe worst Star Wars writing, some of
the worst Star Wars acting and someof the worst Star Wars dialogue and one
of the as you said, oneof the most illogical stories I've ever seen
in Star Wars. Lord, nothingthat happens in this series can possibly happen

(11:35):
based on what we've seen from theorigination of the Star Wars franchise. This
story flies in the face of allof that. It's interesting you said that
because one of the sticking points frommany fans like me was the showrunner was
known to be a non Star Warsfan. They specifically put someone in place
as the head writer and showrunner whowas not originally eligible about Star Wars.

(12:03):
I have to wonder out loud,why does Kathleen Kennedy hate us? Why
does Kathleen Kennedy hate nerd kind?Why does she hate the Star Wars franchise?
I thought she was one of themain supporters of George Lucas through much
of his career. She has provenright now that she truly is the Sith

(12:24):
Lord. She's the words because she'sgreenlighting this gud. She's not the Sith
Lord because the Sith are good.Yes, she's Jedi, yeah, according
to her, According to her andher telling of this franchise, this is
utter hogwash. This week's episode wasso offensively bad. I could not take

(12:48):
it. I literally could not takeit. I and this is for you
know, if you've ever watched youknow, the legendary knights of the nerd
around table, you know I defendso much. You know, I'm one
of those individuals. I did nothave as big a problem with thora love
and thunder as everyone. So Idefend some stuff that most would say,
Nah to you, that's indefensible.Though this right here, I just I

(13:13):
don't like anything about it now.And I'm offended because I'm like, you're
treading on my Star Wars youth andmy Star Wars adulthood and my sensible sense
of good storytelling. They've given usmore bad Star Wars since the sale of
the Star Wars IP to Disney thanthey've given us good Star Wars. If

(13:35):
you talk about the totality of theseries, the totality of the movies,
the third trilogy, it hasn't beengood. With the exception of a couple
of seasons of the Mandalorian, Ithought Obi Wan was good here and there
and there. Ahsoka was good hereand there, here and there, But

(13:56):
on balance more trash than treasure.I want what say you? I think
that Towala's hatred nourishes me, andI'll tell you why. Because for him
to come out like this and hateso much on a Star Wars show,
he's a big fan, and Ias a non huge fan. I mean,
I'm a fan of like the firsttwo movies, and I think most
everything else that has been terrible,But some of my greatest entertainment is listening

(14:22):
to Twala recaps Star Wars stuff becauseit's more entertaining than the actual shows themselves.
So for him to come out andtake a huge douce on on the
show like this, this tells yousomething. Oh Mark, I'm fart walking
with this. I can't take itnow. I dropped this show after two
episodes because they had the most promisingcharacter maybe of all time, introduced in

(14:46):
the first episode and they kill heroff right away. Yeah no spoiler at
this point. But they try toreintegrate Carrie on Moss the actress through flashbacks
and look back in this reverse tiredyou know, start at the end and
then go back to the beginning andtell the story, and it just it

(15:07):
doesn't work. It's lazy writing andformulaic. It is not inventive, it's
not ingenius, it's not insightful,and it's not entertaining. I'll tell you,
as a writer, I've always wantedto pitch a show or a movie
or a comic about a couple ofJedi buddy cops, which we kind of
we saw a little glimpse of inthe prequel trilogy, but not enough to

(15:30):
be satisfying. I've always wanted that, and so after the first episode,
I thought, Okay, well,let me stick around. Maybe we're gonna
get some of that, but notenough. It's terrible. It's really you
get none of that. Conversely,the Boys, last night's episode or today's
episode, Oh my god, it'ssome of the best television around. And

(15:50):
I don't say that lightly. It'sfunny, it is gross with its humor.
It's over the top with its imagery. It's topical, timely, it
existed our world. It makes realworld references talking about the things that people
may talk about today, but itputs it against the backdrop of superheroes and

(16:15):
comic book lore. I think Itexted you at like five am a couple
of weeks ago after I had watcheda Boys episode and every time I see
an episode, I think to myself, I don't think I've ever seen an
hour of television like this. No, they're going for broke. They're doing
things which have never been done ona screen before, not big screen,
not small screen. Nowhere. Howthis show does not have an X rating.

(16:37):
I'm being serious. I really don'tknow how this show has avoided an
NC seventeen X rating, at leastNC seventeen. I mean, yesterday's episode
was so hardcore, and there weremoments where I literally cursed the show for
its goodness. I found myself sayingout loud, I hate you. I

(17:00):
hate you in such a good way. There's a line that they had in
this series about something that's happened onthat one No, not even the smell
bad, but something that happened tothe individual as a result of the flu
shot. Did you catch that?Yes? I did, and I said,
I hate you. I hate youso much. This show is too
damny. Just talking about everything thathas been talked about in talk radio,

(17:23):
cable news, chat rooms, redditboards. It puts it all in there
under this single thread of superheroes areruining the world. They've really amped up
the satire and made it much moreon the nose this season, and it's
far transcended anything in the comic it'sby far the best season as well.

(17:45):
Yes, absolutely, And this iscoming from someone Mark who in the beginning
I was not a fan. Idid not like this series, but I
love it now. And if AnnyStarr does not get every single award that's
available to human either, something wrong. I hope. So he is so
underappreciated and his performance is understated fora satire which is so over the top,

(18:08):
he is not over the top,and I like that almost incongruous nature
where you have the other characters whichcan be kind of over the top and
ridiculous, where he's he's very understated. He's cerebral, he has internal emotional
issues going on, and it's acharacter study. But you can't really appreciate

(18:30):
it unless you look at it acrossthe four seasons because that character arc is
long. Yeah, there are alot of levels to him, and he
switches between them just effortlessly. Andhe's easily the best psychopath I've ever seen
on any TV show. I surehope he's not type cast going forward.
If you were type cast for thisone thing that wouldn't be so bad.

(18:51):
It's not bad, but I thinkof him in a career where he will
become a household name because of thisrole. But I don't want this to
be the high point of this career. Well, we should say, if
this is the only thing of hisyou've ever seen, go back and watch
Banshee, which was a series onCinemax, and the final season is no
good, but the first seasons areterrific. Along those lines, let's get

(19:14):
into Drunk Theater LA the wildest improvcomedy show. A comedian takes five shots
of whiskey in a row and triesto perform an improvise play with five sober
comedians alongside, and what possibly couldgo wrong? Hopefully everything. The show
is tomorrow night at the Santa MonicaPlayhouse in Group Theater. You have to
be able to see tomorrow's show.The doors open at eight point thirty,

(19:37):
show starts at nine. If you'renot available, don't even try to call.
This will be the Troops one hundredthshow in LA. We have three
pairs of tickets to give away rightnow to callers six, seven and eight,
Caller one and over, twenty oneand over. You got to be
twenty one and over caller six,callers seven, caller eight, you and
a guest both over the age oftwenty one. If you're a available for

(20:00):
tomorrow night's Drunk Theater LA show atthe Sata Monica Playhouse, you will be
going to see the show. Butyou gotta be over twenty one and you
got to be available for tomorrow's showat the Santa Monica Playhouse and Group Theater
at which is one two one onefourth Street, Santa Monica. When we
come back, we will remember ShelleyDuvall. You're listening to Later with Moe

(20:22):
Kelly on demand from KFI AM sixforty. And I think the hardest part
about working in entertainment and also gettingolder is being reminded of your own mortality
through the passing of our favorite artists, be it movies, television, music.
And I was getting ready to doa call in to the Bill Handles

(20:45):
Show this morning, and we're goingto talk about one thing, and then
we got news that this other moreimportant news had just broken, and that
was the passing of legendary actress ShelleyDuvall. And I think of the many
roles that she was in be itAnnie Hall, of course, the Shining

(21:07):
of course Popeye, And I thinkabout when she was cast in Popeye.
They made the announcement, and Iremember, I don't know if there was
anyone better on the face of theearth to be cast as olive Oil.
Oh, she was born for that. She physically could do. It sounded
like her. It was almost likeyou could not get a better live action

(21:27):
version of olive Oil than Shelley Duvall. And she knocked it out of the
park. Of course, later onin life she left Hollywood. I think
it was around two thousand and two, just dropped off the face of the
earth as far as the public,and then she resurfaced. And I'll never
forget and I'll still have misgivings aboutdoctor Phil interviewing Shelley Duvall. I think

(21:52):
it was back in twenty sixteen.She obviously was going through a lot physically,
physical ailments, emotional ailment, andI think doctor Phil took advantage of
that for the sake of, youknow, getting in exclusive with Shelley Dvall.
She passed away today from complications ofdiabetes, but there were other things
going on with her. I don'tknow emotionally where she stood whether she was

(22:15):
at peace or not, but herlife partner made it clear that she had
been physically suffering for quite some time. And as they often say, you
know someone's glory, but you maynot know their story. And for all
the glory of Shelley Duvall, thestory of Shelley Duval is heartbreaking in many
instances. But for me, Iwill always remember her not for her words

(22:41):
on screen, but the sounds shemade, little DAGs, little dings.
Let me come in, not bythe hair on your chitty, to the
jaimul and I'll blow in your househere. Wow, Wow, here's Johnny

(23:48):
Mark. I know you know theanswer to this. But Kubrick was world
renowned for his strange methods of inspiringactors. Oh he terrorized her, Yes,
Yes, he terroriz and kept herin a constant state of fear and
depression to keep her in a spacewhere she could deliver scenes like that.
Yeah. And he was reputed tohave just been mean to her overall on

(24:11):
the set. And it was exhaustingfor her because she had to cry and
shriek all day for days on end, and that took a toll on her.
And that's been reported on ad nauseum. I thought, you know,
I read the book overnight before Isaw The Shining way back when I came
out, and I thought she wasa really weird choice to play Wendy.
But boy did she sell the aspectof her just being terrified of Jack losing

(24:34):
his mind, and with her bulgingeyes and her shrieks. I didn't think
she was the greatest actress in thatpart. She'd been in seven Robert Altman
movies and she was completely different ineach one of those, and you mentioned
the Woody Allen film she'd been in. I wasn't sure she was a great
choice for Wendy, But boy,those scenes, the one that you just
played, she's part of film historybecause of that now. And there's also

(24:56):
another scene in there where she's waya bat at Jack Nicholson's character, and
reportedly she had to redo that sceneone hundred and sixty two times. Kubrick
was notorious for that. I mean, in the same movie, he made
Scatman Cruthers do the action the chestthing, until Nicholson was like, hey,

(25:18):
maybe you should take it easy beforehe dies. For real. He
was like the seventies and eighties versionof David Fincher, who would just shoot
something until there was something that physicallystopped him from doing it. To these
poor actors anymore, Well, allI can say is her legacy is intact.
I'm sorry there wasn't a happier endingto all of this, because it

(25:41):
was well publicized how she had sufferedall sorts of physical ailments, she had
gained considerable weight. It seemed likeshe might have been an invalid. It
didn't seem like that she was doingmuch movement at all. It's hard to
say, And I think that therewas a real voyeuristic and outright cruel aspect
to some of the coverage of alllater years. And I tried not to

(26:03):
patronize that because it really kind ofmade me ill to watch. And you
mentioned how exploitive doctor Phil's thing was. I'm not down with any of that.
I think that's really punching down andkicking people while they're down. Yeah,
And it was clear to me inthat interview that Shelley Duval didn't I
don't think, had a full understandingof how she was being positioned and presented

(26:30):
to the world. No, Ihave nothing but compassion for she deserved to
be treated with care, and dignityand not you know, to make more
money for doctor Phil. Yeah.I wonder what he would have to say
in this moment like this. Iwonder if he has any type of remorse.
That's the word I was looking for. I wonder what that interview did

(26:53):
to her. Did it further spiralfor her, make her further spiral or
something else? Never know, butI am pleased at least that for all
her physical suffering, she's no longerphysically suffering, and hopefully there was a
degree of peace which she reached beforepassing. She was terrific and she is
immortal. It's Later with mo Kellycaf I AM six forty live everywhere in

(27:17):
the iHeartRadio app. You're listening toLater with Moe Kelly on demand from KFI
AM six forty. And before weget out of here, congratulations to our
winners who will be going to drunktheater La. I'm waiting on the names
and so I can shout you outspecifically where you'll be going to see.

(27:37):
A comedian's going to take five shotsof whiskey in a row and tries to
perform and improvise play with five sobercomedians that sounds like my kind of time,
you know what. I would liketo do that on the radio,
but they would fire me. Theywouldn't pay me for that. I don't
think Robin would even call. Ithink she would drive in all you off
the edge. She would get onthe mic and fire me in front of

(28:02):
everyone, so everyone knew that thatwas gonna be the last segment. I
wouldn't even be able to finish theshow. But it'd be funny. Oh,
it would be funny, and itwould make news that I'd probably go
viral and all those things you can. No, I would not. They
would not pay me thirty thousand dollarsjust to show up and hang around.

(28:22):
No, there's certain things that arereserved for people who are not me.
And hot to a girl is no, that's not no, I'm not gonna
spit on that thing. Yeah youknow what I mean? No, No,
I am not, definitely am not. That's not my Bailey wickup pun
intended. Uh. Before we go, just got to let you know we

(28:45):
will be having another round of namethat movie cult classic tomorrow night. I
couldn't think of a theme. Cananyone think of a theme for tomorrow?
I can't think of one. Imean, there are no real holidays coming
up in the middle of summer,so I guess it'll just be random movies.
Just keep it to summer. Iguess we have movies about hot summers,
like Summer of sam that kind ofstuffy. Yeah, okay, Night

(29:10):
of the Juggler, that's a nastyone with James Brolin. There's all sorts
of movies. Okay, we cancome up with movies which were the heat
of summers involved. Yeah, thereyou go. All right, then that's
what I'll do, all right,And before we leave, Congratulations to Jacob
Burns of Huntington Beach. He willbe going to see Drunk Theater LA tomorrow.
And Bobby Wade in Culver City.I don't know if that's he or

And George Bell of South LA.He will be going tomorrow with a
guest as well. We love givingaway free stuff here on later with Mokeller,
and we'll have more in the future. In fact, I have to
order some more T shirts. Whatcolor did we decide on? Pink?

(29:57):
I think it was pink pink.Okay, order some more T shirts.
You gotta get some Chopski's or somethingbecause I like giving away stuff. It
keeps me happy. And what arewe getting to eat tomorrow? Oh?
Good question? Start thinking about itnow, all right, we'll figure it
out. Mark, do you haveany desires? I feel like we're getting
kind of pizza out, don't you. That's part of the reason why I

(30:17):
say something. Now, that's it'sa sad situation to be in, isn't
it. Well, we can alwayscome back to pizza, but we've had
too much pizza for us. Youknow, their worst job to have where
you complain about getting so much pizza. Yeah, too much good stuff.
No sympathy from anybody. All right, so what what are we going to
get? What? What are wegoing to do? That's well brainstorm,
Yeah, okay, I need youto figure out these things, all right,

(30:40):
because I'm modifying my diet and Ihave to plan my day around what
we're most likely going to eat.I know. That's the funniest thing is
when I come in and it's like, oh, we're gonna have let's just
say pizza. But it's like,you know, mo or twelve, Now
I already ate this, and thatyou have to plan around it, because
you have to expect the food tobe here. If you let me know
in advance, then I can eithereat a late lunch or not. And

(31:04):
I've been very good since coming offvacation in the fourth of July. I've
really restricted my diet, you know, on the wrong side of twenty five.
I got to watch my cholesterol andblood pressure, that kind of stuff.
So I'm monitoring what I eat veryclosely. And if I'm going to
splurge and have some pizza, wellthat means earlier in the day. I'm
not going to have anything fried whenit's hot like this. All sorts of

(31:26):
foods just sound too grossed. Ea, it's too hot to cook some foods
like I haven't. Well, I'mnot going to share this. I always
I don't mind hot food on ahot day. I really don't. So
when you've just raced indoors from theburning heat outside you want something deep fried,
I will take a burger and aheartbeat, really I shouldn't eat it,
but I'm saying no. When I'mhungry, I want food. I

(31:48):
don't want food to offset the weather. That doesn't even get wrong with yeah,
no, I want what about pfslike oh, like a couple of
the dishes. Yeah, but isthere one that's somewhat near. I thought
the nearest one was like maybe likein the studio city. No, no,
no, it's right around the corner, over by the by the Vonns.

(32:09):
Really there's a right, Yeah,it's not too far. No,
that's I get off the free wind. I know there's a Panda Express over
there, but it's not the same. You're right, it's like Gap Panda
that's over there. The PF Changsis over closer towards uh. I think

(32:31):
towards the airport. Okay, I'vebeen out all the time. I'd be
getting Yeah, pan Express. Idon't remember a PF Chang. It's either
over there that's over either by theby the Target Walmart area or over by
the airport, all the same area. But I like that theme. I
think we should stick to that changeor Panda Panda. You know Panda is

(32:53):
the knockoff. But yeah, okay, all right, that's what we'll get
tomorrow, and you listening, youwill get that movie cult classic and we'll
see if what we'll have a prizeor anything. I gotta get out of
here now because I have to beup at four in the morning because I
want to be on Spectrum one NewsNews SoCal at five a m. Between

(33:14):
five and five thirty talking about allthings political and Biden press conference and everything.
So if you're up you have SpectrumNew Soulcal you can check me out
between five and five thirty sometime aroundthat time. If you're up, I
know I'm never not working. Imight still be up. Then I might
just be going to bed. Well, there you go. You'll have something

(33:35):
to watch, something to put meright to sleep, is what you're saying.
