(00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kellyon demand from KFI AM six Boarding.
It was Friday Nights with Notica dela Cruz. Well, thank you so
very much, mo Mo. Itold you maybe about a month and a
half ago that there was a skateboardHall of Fame museum that I was going
to go, and I finally went, you went, I went yes,

(00:21):
And let me tell you something more. I don't really geek out off of
like boys stuff, but I wasreally geeked out on this. The Skateboard
Hall of Fame and Museum is inSemi Valley. It is a vibrant tribute
to the rich history and culture ofskateboarding, established to honors the sports most
influential figures and documents and evolution.The museum is a must visit it for

(00:44):
enthusiastics, for enthusiasts, and forcurious visitors. And they do get visitors
anyone from the age of twelve allthe way, the owner said, up
to seventy five years of age.Wow, which is pretty pretty intense.
Now, the first type of skateboardI'm gonna give you a little bit of
history here, which date back datesback to the early nineteen hundreds was actually

(01:07):
more like a scooter. It thenchanged and had roller skate wheels attached to
a two by four. You seethem there. Often the board had a
milk crate and hiled to it withhandles. I remember that, yes,
with the handles sticking out of control. Can you see the future they had?
Yes, they did. Now,over the next five decades, kids

(01:27):
kind of changed the look of thecontraptions and they took off the crate and
they were just cruising on the twoby fours, but they were steel wheels,
not the rubber ones that they havenow. Tens of thousands of roller
skates were dismantled and joyfully hammered ontoplanks of wood. You'll see the examples
there on the wall as well.The first commercial skateboard was manufactured in the

(01:51):
early nineteen sixties by companies such asRoller, Derby and Macaha. The design
and functuality of skateboards have signal nificallyevolved, and the first patent of the
skateboard was filed by Larry Stevenson.You kind of see the sketch of the
the patent when you enter the museum. It's kind of like on the left

(02:13):
on the floor it was a keyfigure skateboard innovation, innovation, and in
nineteen sixty three they file the patent. Of course, the museum has an
extensive collection that is spread over tenthousand square feet. The museum houses the
world's largest collection of skateboard memorabilia,featuring over five thousand vintage skateboards. When

(02:38):
I say it is from the floorto the ceiling field of skateboards skateboards,
I am not exaggerating. Now thereis a big wall. It's called the
Hall of Fame, and it honorsthe pioneers and legends of skateboarding. Since
its first induction ceremony in two thousandand nine, it has celebrated icons like
Tony Hawk, Stacey Perol, andPatty McGee, among others. The only

(03:02):
name that sticks to me is Hawk. Yes, of course, and each
year new skaters who have made significantcontributions to the sport are inducted into the
Hall of Fame. Now, beyondjust viewing exhibits, they do have private
exhibits there too. Visitors can enjoyan indoor skate park, including a halfpipe,

(03:23):
where beginners and experienced skaters can alsotry their skills. The museum also
hosts skateboarding classes and events, makingit a dynamic spot for learning and fun.
And whether you're a lifelong skater orsimply interested in learning, or maybe
your kids want to learn about thehistory of skateboards or their skateboards and they
skateboarders and they want to see moreand learn about the sport, you definitely

(03:47):
want to check out the museum.It's located in Siami Valley Town Center.
The museum is easily accessible, andit offers free admission, which we love,
free ninety nine free ski. It'sopen from Wednesdays to Sunday with various
hours, and there's also a giftshop, so for those who want to
take a piece of skateboarding history home, you can. Hours are Wednesday through

(04:10):
Friday two to nine. Saturday they'reopen from ten am to nine pm Sunday
eleven to seven. And like Isaid, they're at one five five five
Seami Valley, Seemi Town Center,Way, number two thirty. And how
ironic that the museum is right acrossfrom a Vans And that's what yes,
that's what skateboarders wear is Van shoes. And I got to talk to the

(04:32):
owner. The owner his name isTodd Hubber, really really nice guy and
he knows a lot about skateboards.Now, he was never a professional skateboarder,
but he was a fan. Sohe said that he stopped quitting in
the eighties and he needed a newhobby, so he started collecting these skateboards.
He opened his first mini museum inhis garage in nineteen ninety seven and

(04:57):
people started sending him so many skatesboards that he outgrew his garage, and
so in twenty eighteen he went tothe Semi Valley Town Center and people from
around the world have donated skateboards thatthey either have in their garage or the
atticts, or they're like, hey, this is something that you might like,
and they send it to him andhe just nails it on the wall

(05:17):
basically. So it's a really reallycool place to see, and I highly
recommend that if you were a skateboarderor if you like the history, definitely
go see the evolution of of theskateboard museum. You don't know this,
but I was a skateboarder back inthe day. I wasn't doing all the
types of tricks that they do now, but absolutely and my first pair of

(05:41):
skates had those steel wheels that you'retalking about. That really telling all my
age now. So yeah, Igo back. I was doing seven twenties
and just some basic tricks back inthe day, but most definitely and I
wore nothing but Vans through middle school. Well in the high school that Van
deck shoe, both laces and alsoslip ons. Those are only shoes that

(06:04):
I would wear until I got inthe Nikes when I started playing basketball in
high school. Because Nike was stillcoming on the scene. Yes, then,
I think my first pair of Nikeswas in fourth grade, but it
was like pro kids at that point. It was not a big company.
And by the time I got tohigh school, they really started leaning in
the basketball shoes. But other thanthat, I was wearing Vans, and

(06:26):
I was a skateboarder one hundred percent. Well, and you know, Vans,
Like I said earlier, skateboarders areknown for wearing Vans. Plus there's
such a flat shoe, so itgives them the support to hold the grip
on the skateboard. And you know, I don't think I've ever seen anybody
skateboard with a pair of Jordan's on. No, you know what I mean,

(06:47):
Oh, you know what you justsaid something that's really cool. You
said shoes. You were talking aboutshoes. If there is a museum,
If anyone knows the Museum of theEvolution of Shoes, I would definitely love
to go because I have the book, but I would you know, I'm
like that show and tell, likeI want to really see and take pictures.
But I'm saying, this is anamazing museum. I didn't think I

(07:09):
would be interested, but sometimes youknow, it's kind of like, you
know, try this tea and youmay like it or you may not,
but then you go, hmm,this is pretty good. So I really
enjoyed it. Skateboarding Hall of aFame Skateboard Museum, Semi Valley. It's
in the Seami Valley Town Center.You definitely want to go. Like I
said, it's free ninety nine andone last thing. They do have on

(07:31):
Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from twoto eight if you want to learn how
to skateboard, if you have kidsor grandkids, I want to learn.
I mean, they have that halfpipeand it's it's really cool. Yeah,
I'm at that point in life whereI can say that I've done it,
but I'm never going to do itagain because I don't want to accidentally bust
my ass, break a heap ordo something because you know, I'm not

(07:55):
the kid I was, you know, doing stupid stuff when I was fourteen
and fifteen years old. But II thoroughly enjoyed that and I've always been.
Part of the reason why I don'tbuy Vans now is because I need
more art support. And to yourpoint, they don't. They're very flat
on the inside. Yeah, butI used to love Vans. Well,
that's what happens, you know,when you get older and you're fifty years

(08:15):
of hip hop, you know,yeah, you know the math is the
math, right, the math gota math. But also before we go
to break, I want you tomake sure you promote your podcast frequency.
Yes, you could catch us anywhere. Just look up frequency podcast that's frequency
f R E q U E Ns h E Frequency podcasts. And you

(08:37):
could also follow Amy Lopez my Iwould say, my partner in crime and
myself at Nautica de la Cruz onInstagram as well. What are some of
the stuff that you'ld be talking about? Oh, I don't know, we
talk you know about my I knowthat's what I'm saying, let people know,
give the little taste. You know, we talk about relationship. You
know, Amy and I talk aboutthings that you are thinking, but we

(09:01):
say it, and I have noshame, I have no filter. They
don't know that side of you.You are so prim and proper on Fridays

got a cute little smile. Hm, honey, there's something else going on.

(09:22):
Like I said, I've said before, you could take the girl out
of Brooklyn, but you can't takethe Brooklyn out of the girl. So
yes, we talk about relationships.We give advice. We don't. We
stay away a little bit from politicsbecause Amy and I could get a little

we're just gonna give it to youraw frequent she podcast Amy Lopez and our

(10:05):
own Natica de la Cruz. We'llhave your hitten gym with Nautica just a
moment you're listening to later with MoeKelly on demand from KFI AM six forty
Now for our hidden gym with Naticade la Cruz. Thank you Mo Today's
hidden Gem. Her name is Saditato Malta. She was born in Santiagole,
Kuwa. Her parents played Kuwa whenshe was just a young child with

(10:28):
little money and stayed with family membersuntil her family members were evicted. She
lived in a car with her motherand her father for one week only,
but that week made an impact inher life. The memories of sleeping in
a car, being hungry, andhaving to use greenery around a bush to
relieve herself made her feel uncomfortable.Her parents did end up finding a small

(10:50):
apartment and her mother found employment.She learned English at school and she helped
teach her parents English as well.Every day after dinner. That was kind
of their thing. She loved playingteacher at home with her parents. She
said it was that one hour ofthe day she felt like a boss and
she could tell her parents what todo because she was teaching them English.

(11:11):
Sadita is now a successful recruiter forvarious companies and has always had this deep
seated desire to give back to hercommunity. Despite her busy schedule and demanding
career, she found herself yearning fora more meaningful way to make a difference.
Some childhood memories or trauma I thinkall of us can feel that can

(11:33):
affect you as an adult. SoSadita stumbled upon Dreamcenter dot org, a
nonprofit organization that provides support and resourcesto those in need. Sauditha began volunteering
on available weekends, and she startedwith the food distribution program, where she
helped prepare and serve meals to hundredsof homeless individuals. The gratitude and smiles

(11:56):
she received in return were immensely rewardedif you quickly realized that a simple meal
could make a significant impact on someone'sday, offering not just nourishment, but
also a sense of dignity and care. The Dream Center, based in la
is a faith based charitable organization committedto transforming lives and communities through various outreach

(12:20):
programs. Its mission is to meetboth immediate and long term needs of individuals
and families facing difficult circumstances. Thisincludes providing food, shelter, education,
job training, and counseling services.The Dream Center aims to empower people to
overcome obstacles and build a brighter future, offering a more holistic approach to rehabilitation

(12:46):
and support the addresses of physical,emotional, and spiritual needs in the community.
The Dream Center operates multiple programs andservices designed to address pressing issues such
as hunger, homelans, blessness,and addiction. Their transitional housing program offers
a safe space for individuals and familiesto regain stability, while their food truck

(13:09):
outreach distributes meals to those in needacross the city. The Dream Center also
runs a residential recovery program for individualsstruggling with substance abuse, providing comprehensive support
to help achieve long lasting sobriety andI have to tell you in the heart
of Los Angeles, where the glitzand the glamour of Hollywood coexist with the

(13:33):
stark realities of homelessness and poverty.There are countless stories of resilience and transformation.
And I am so glad to getto meet people through other people or
events where I can spark conversation andhear people's stories like Saditha do Mata.
So I have to say thank youSaditha for being a hidden gem and for

(13:54):
making a difference one meal at atime. And I just some research.
I looked at Dreamcenter dot org andthe website is extensive. I made a
phone call into the organization and theyare really about empowering the people who need
it the most and to get themback on their feet once again. So

(14:15):
if you would like to either getinvolved or even donate monetary, go to
Dreamcenter dot org. That's Dreamcenter dotorg. How did you even come across
her, To be honest with you, she was delivering food to one of
my neighbors down the street. Thereyou go, Yeah, you know she
yeah, So I saw the theI saw the van, and I you

(14:41):
know, I'm just one of thosepeople, mo, I ask a lot
of questions. I guess that's why. Also, I love in broadcasts.
I really should have been a detectiveor an FBI agent. Because I love
to ask questions. And I sawthe lettering the Dreamcenter dot org on it
and I was like, hmmm,anything with dot org. I'm like,
I got to see what it is. And so I asked her. You

(15:03):
know, some people get a littleand I would say, you know,
not defensive, but it's like Idon't really want to talk to nobody,
and I'm like no, you know, I was like, I would love
to get your story this and thatand so far. And so we had
a conversation. It took her aminute to return my phone call, but
you know, we had a conversationand she told me and then I was
like, oh, you're Cuban,I'm Puerto Rican. Oh okay, we

(15:26):
have, you know, some thingsin common. And she told me her
story. And when she told meabout her and her parents living in the
car for a week, I waslike, She's like, it was just
a week, but that week traumatizedme. And I know that when certain
things happen to us, whether it'sa day or a week, or a
month or a year, as weare young young adult's, young children,

(15:46):
a kuld really affect us in thefuture. And I love the fact that
she's done something about that, andI love the fact that people will try
whatever time to give to an organizationand just help out. And I also
appreciate you find that point of connection. It could be with you and her,

(16:07):
you know, Puerto Ricana and Kumana. I look at it as a
faith based organization and that's something thatoh, I always love to see when
an organization is actually dwelling in theirpurpose. And if you're a faith faith
based organization, you're actually doing thework which is connected to the faith.
Far too often, you know whoalways say that we're Christian? Is a

(16:30):
Christian? That? But there theyare No, they're no fruits which are
which make it evident, you know, there's no outward side of their inner
grace. No. I I completelyagree with that, and I think that
you know, whether you are faithbased or not, the people that start
a charitable organization, they do itfor a reason. They do it for

(16:52):
not only magnificant causes that help otherpeople. It's it's it's the spark within
the human being that they want toconnect, that they want to help,
that they want to pay forward veryquickly. Yes, how can they reach
the Dream Center again? Please Dreamcenterdot org. You could volunteer. You
could volunteer, you could donate.The website is very extensive and it gives

(17:12):
so much information. It's dreamcenter dotorg. And you know, sometimes whether
you donate an hour of your daya Saturday, you know anyway is you're
you're still serving the community. AndI've noticed, and I've been to downtown
Los Angeles and just in the LAarea, that the population of homelessness is

(17:37):
just really rising. Well, youhave to fill the need where you can
fill the need, do as muchas you can with what you have right
where you are. Yes, sir, I believe that you're listening to Later
with Moe Kelly on demand from kfI, a M. Six fording with

(18:00):
Kelly, Mark talks abouts about popculture, Ron and Report with Mark Ronner.
If I am six forty is Laterwith mo Kelly? Is that time
in the show where Mark Ronner takesover with the run and Report? Okay,

(18:23):
Twisters is new in theaters today.But rather than run down a list
of things I'd rather do than watcha movie about people chasing tornadoes with trucks,
let's try something else. For starters, we can just run at full
speed into a wall with our headstoo much. We all have stuff we
do outside work. Here at KFI, Mo has his martial arts classes and
he also does hits on other media. Twala does the Lord's work at a

(18:47):
school and on SoCal Saturday on weekends. And I know what you're thinking,
but no, I won't do porn. I haven't hit rock bottom yet.
Maybe soon, but not yet.I'm a writer. I've written a ton
of comic books, articles about moviesand TV op eds. I've also written
for video games and this week arereally cool ones out that I wrote the
dialogue for it. It is calledNobody Wants to Die. I know it

(19:11):
sounds like that awful last James Bondmovie, but it's a future noir mystery,
cyberpunk thriller game. It is beautifullyrendered. It gets into some fairly
sick and unsettling territory and I couldnot be prouder of this thing. Think
Blade Runner in terms of visuals.But if you get to be a detective
and you have some wondrous future techfor examining crime scenes and manipulating time at

(19:34):
the crime scenes, and as youget further and further into this story,
in this dystopian future where the bodiesare piling up, you have a dawning
realization of where you stand amid allthe corruption and cruelty and murder. You
know, perfect for kids. NobodyWants to Die is made by Critical Hit
Games, a newish company, andit should be available. However, you

(19:56):
play this stuff on Steam, whereit's got a nine out of ten so
far, Angers cross on consoles,all of it everywhere. Here's here's some
of it. This is an earlytrailer from about four months ago that I
wrote. And we start off lookingdown an urban canyon of tall buildings and
neons, swarming with flying cars whichare still somehow vintage looking. They say

(20:21):
time heals all wounds, but that'sd I'll tell you what time does.

(20:42):
Time reveal secrets, Secrets that enslaveus, the secrets, the poisonous secrets

(21:14):
that rip us apart, secrets I'mgonna drag into the light or they'll drag
me. Now. Now, that'sNobody Wants to Die. And the game

(21:40):
looks absolutely stunning. And I've alwaysloved norm movies. You know what those
are. You've seen them, Thesehard boiled detective movies that started in the
forties and fifties that had more cynicalheroes, kind of anti heroes coming out
of World War Two with all thedisillusionment that entailed. These weren't guys who
came home from the war and shoutedUSA. They were generally sarcastic, self

(22:02):
destructive, hit the bottle pretty hard. The story he's often involve a fem
fittal who's bad news, but Steerstill irresistible, you know, like real
life, very little chasing tornadoes aroundin trucks as well. You should know,
you know, the Maltese Falcon withHumphrey Bogar. You've seen that,
and we've talked about in Monsieur Spadehere not long ago. The Clive Owens
series that's really good. Out ofthe Past with Robert Mitcham. Lots of

(22:26):
great newer ones too, or neonoir which they're called. Robert Altman's The
Long good Bye is one of myfavorites. Scott Elliott Gould in it.
It's really good and if you haven'tseen that one, you should. And
nobody wants to die. You playas a detective in New York in the
year twenty three twenty nine who's calledback on the job to investigate him off.
The book's case of mass murder ofthe city's elite. This detective has

(22:48):
some issues though. For instance,he's not in his first body anymore,
and he's start having trouble settling intohis new body. And this future,
you can transfer your mind, yourconsciousness to a new body when you wear
out the old one if you havethe money. People who don't have the
money, they have nots. Theydo what they gotta do, and it
isn't always pretty. And again I'mnot talking about porn. The choices you

(23:08):
make throughout this game affect the outcome. It's not a shooter, although there
is some shooting, very procedural,very visual, vibe oriented. Not the
same old, same old. Justto be clear, the game's absolutely not
for kids. Along with all thedrinking and some fairly grizzly stuff, there
is a very generous amount of swearing, which was great fun writing. I'll

(23:30):
tell you, by the way,there were many times when we were racking
our brains trying to get the rightphrasing for a line, and I'd ask,
how about just an mffort here?Oh yeah, that works perfect.
Everybody wins. If we have time, I'll play a little bit more from
the official launch trailer that's from thisweek. I've admitted here before though,
that self promotion just makes my skincrawl, which can be a bit of

(23:51):
a speed bump if you're working inthe radio business, and I want you
to know also as a writer,I don't get one dime exter, no
matter how many or how few peoplebuy this game. I have one payday
when I finish my work. I'monly telling you about the game right now
because I think it's turned out tobe something really special and I think you're
gonna love it. You can seegameplay of Nobody Wants to Die on YouTube,

(24:11):
along with reviews and all sorts ofother stuff, and since radio is
more of an ural medium, youkind of need to see this for yourself
in a visual medium. I spenta few minutes looking up reviews last night
it's brand new this week, andmy favorite was surely someone Wants to Die
Hard to argue with that. Also, a user called fart Night called the

(24:33):
game a straight banger. That's good, right, mo, Yeah, that's
that's positive. You appreciate a straightbanger or banger, perhaps less often in
your later years. A banger isalways positive, unless it's preceded by gang
in a civic sense, you know, in the criminal sense. Yeah,
we're a little ahead on time.So let's just hear a little bit more
of the trailer where I didn't haveto beep out a swear word. In

(24:56):
my own twenties, having a goalis better than inactivity, an alternative to
focusing on the symptoms and the memories. I'm one hundred and twenty years old,
and I don't have any strength leftto keep recalling the past. You're

(25:22):
a goddamn departmental legend. Legend,uh more like cautionary tale. I need
access. Do you think I don'tknow why the chief put you on restrictive
duty, No doubt about it.This case smells worse than a two week
old corpse and a storm drain.Can I ask you something personal? Do
you believe in life after death?Well, apparently in the past people used

(25:48):
to ask stuff like that all thetime because the average lifespan was less than
one hundred years. And now canwe believe in anything beyond this? What
if you could choose the bank ordeath? Now, the bank is the
memory bank, And if you're toopoor to afford a new body, that's

(26:10):
where your consciousness goes and it staysthere until you get some money or something
changes. It's an absolutely stunning game. Nobody wants to die. I hope
you check it out. I don'tmake any extra money telling you about it.
I'm just excited about it. Itreally turned out to be a special
thing. Sounded like Scarlot Johansson wasdoing that narration there. I don't know
who did the narration. I reallywanted to do the voice of the detective

(26:36):
because as we're writing these lines ofdialogue I'm actually performing them over Skype with
these guys at the company in Poland, and I so wanted to do this.
But the guy who did it soundsterrific. How did you fall into
this? Oh, nepotism and corruptionof course. Okay, No, it's

(26:56):
like a lot of games or comicsor things like that. It's kind of
who you know combined with what you'vealready done that you can show people.
So I had to display, ifyou'll pardon me for sounding and modest about
this, a somewhat encyclopedic knowledge ofnoir films, because when I was back
in grad school, I was goingto do my dissertation on existentialism and film

(27:18):
war. So I've seen a lotof the stuff, and it's kind of
the way I write and talk,and yeah, it is definitely how you
talk. So if you play thisgame, or if you just watch the
walkthrough on YouTube, you'll kind ofhear my voice, even though it's not
me doing the actual narration. I'mvery intrigued, and congratulations are in order,

(27:40):
regardless of whether you get another dimeor not. Thank you very much.
It's a ton of fun. Thegame is nobody wants to die.
So why did you keep it underwraps for so long? Well, I
had to sign an MDA. Thatoh the kind of answer the question.
Okay, yeah, they would havemade me homeless if I violated the MDA.
I'm sure you understand how those were. Oh yeah, but it also
was kind of stealth release. WhenI was looking up the reviews last night,

(28:02):
I saw that people felt that itwas just kind of dropped out of
nowhere. There wasn't really any bigbuild up to this, and I don't
know if that's because the company iskind of a newer company or what,
but I feel like it's making abig splash coming right out based on what
I've seen so far. The reviewsare terrific and I hope it keeps going
that way. Well, many congratulationsto you and hopefully you'll get to voice

(28:26):
it next time. Yeah, forGod's sake, what's the guy have to
do? Who do I have tosleep with? Well, don't ask that
question, because someone will give youan answer. Oop. Oop, Look
at the time you're listening to Laterwith Moe Kelly on demand from KFI AM

seen the season finale of the Boys. I saw it last night and it
was even better than I expected itto be. It was as over the
top as I hoped it would beexplicit, gory, ridiculous, and yet

(30:52):
moved the story forward. There weresome unexpected events and it reminded me that
every care character, as far asI'm concerned, is expendable, and that
makes the show appointment watching. Youjust don't know who's gonna make it from
one episode to the next. AllI can say is, can't wait for
season five, the final season.Don't know what to tell everyone else,

(31:15):
But if you don't like it,that's a U problem. There's no way
you cannot like what I have dubbedthe greatest season finale of any show ever
made. Why Because every time wewatch a season finale of a show,
we're always left hanging. There's alwayssomething like you didn't button something up.

(31:37):
There's a story that they started thatthey didn't end with the character. We're
always left hanging with this season finale, they brought things to a close that
they brought up in seasons one,two, and three. There were through
lines through all those seasons that theybuttoned up and brought to closure to a
point where it's like, hey,everything we said that was lead just one

(32:00):
this has happened. But there issomething major on the other side and hold
on to your butts because it isgoing to be insane. They said that
season five next season will be thefinal season, so there's nothing to leave.
There's nothing to leave on the table. They're going to end the story.

(32:22):
And if you're not familiar with thestory, it's kind of hard to
explain, but The Boys is basicallyabout what if superheroes were corporate entities and
a holes and how would that playout in a political sense, in a
capitalism sense, in a media sense. See they address all of that,
and it's very much set in ourworld, but names have been changed,

(32:44):
networks have been changed, but youcan tell they're making a statement about present
day America but throwing some superheroes ontop of it. They really ramped up
the current satire in this season muchmore than the previous ones, and it
is just masterful and hilarious and outrageous. I love the fact that they knew

(33:05):
the tension that was going to befelt going into this episode, because again,
they're talking about some real world issuesin a very satirical way, and
it just so happened that what wethought was going to happen in this uh
season finale Unfortunately, it mirrored theevents of the attempted assassination of presidential nominee

(33:32):
Trump, and we were all worriedthat they weren't even going to air the
episode. It's like, how areyou going to air an episode where the
plot and this is this is alla part of the story, where the
plot is to overthrow the government,you know, and possibly assassinate the present.
That was a big fear going intothis, but that was our season
long story, season long storylark.The warning that they put up front,

(33:55):
it was like, Okay, they'vehandled it. There, they are there,
are aware of what we're aware of. They're very aware of what how
people could take this story. AndI loved it. I literally I cannot
wait to get home so I canwatch it again tonight. It took me
forever to watch it because I keptrewhinding saying no, you didn't just do
that. It's visually over the top. It's storyline over the top. There

(34:20):
is there is nothing out of bounds, there's nothing off limits. There's some
things that I saw like I can'tunseeing. Su Yeah, very very ditty,
very ditty, and uh yeah,and I honestly care for all the

(34:40):
characters usually they're like three or fourthat you don't care about. No,
no, no, You get emotionallyinvested in the characters because there's real danger
for all of them, their stakes, they're real relationships, and you don't
know what's going to happen to them. You don't just don't know. This
is a this is a master classof writing. And this is why with

(35:02):
the popularity of The Boys, itis again proof positive that people are not
suffering from superhero fatigue. They aresuffering from piss poor writing. A delivery.
If you if you stick to thescript and give us something that we
want to see and make it exceptional, we will tune in everywhere and this

(35:23):
might go down as one of thehighest rated, most viewed shows on Prime
Absolutely, and that says a lot, a lot, a lot. We're
live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.We tried less stimulating top it ended poorly.
K s I KOs HG two LosAngeles, Orange County, lots everywhere
