Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Everybody knows about Chick fil A. If you say chick
fil A, you probably think of their food. Well, Chick
fil A is going to start want you to think
of them in an additional way. Chick fil A is
going to start a streaming service with shows and movies. Now,
(00:29):
from what I understand, Chick fil A has been working
with a number of major production companies movie studios to
create family friendly shows, particularly reality ones, and it's also
in talks to license and acquire content. Now, I know
when you think about Chick fil A, you may not
think about TV and movies. But I actually get this
(00:52):
from a business standpoint. Hear me out, hear me out.
We know Disney is known for what like amusement parks, movies, TV,
but they've also moved into the space of real estate
and plan communities, diversifying their overall holdings. Remember Hallmark start
(01:13):
out with gift cards, and all of a sudden they're
doing what TV and movies Hallmark Channel.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
This is slightly different.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
I get that Chick fil A is moving from or
including entertainment with its food, but I kind of get it,
if only because oh I forgot the obvious one Chicken
suit for the soul that was a book and entertainment company,
and then they wove into that.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Red Box TV and movies.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Understandable, they just recently filed bankruptcy, but this is this
is not unprecedented.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
You're saying chick TV might throw them a lifeline. Maybe possibly,
who knows.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
But I get what Chick fil A is doing because
you get to leverage the brand loyalty.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
You know. It's like the name you know, what was.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
The movie I think was the perfect What was the
Eddie Murphy movie, The Distinguished Gentleman. Yeah, and it was
like Jeff Johnson, the name you know that was the
campaign slogan.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
This is kind of like that. People who like Chick
fil A really like Chick fil A, And I don't
get that.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Can you explain to me. I've tried it a couple
of times. It's just a chicken sandwich. What's the big
deal to me? It's not that big a deal. I
watched me get flooded with emails.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
You will, but people, and this goes back to politics.
People feel a personal affinity. I think part of it
is the other things associated with Chick fil A. The
Christian connection. That's part of it. Let's be honest. So
it's an identity thing. He's an identity thing.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Yeah, doning a Tesla, cyber truck or something possibly.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I think that's one way you could look at it.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
But since there is that personal connection to the brand
of Chick fil A, the thinking is it would carry
over to other things connected to Chick fil A, if
it's family friendly TV shows and movies, which is not
inconsistent with the overall perception of the brand of Chick
(03:18):
fil A.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Or let's just say In and Out for example. You
think of In and Out.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
If you know the larger story of In and Out,
that's also a Christian company that put the Bible versus
I think on the bottom.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Of the cup. This is not new.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
So if In and Out were to expand their business
into entertainment, those people who are really loyal to the
brand of In and Out could.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Be loyal to some other business entity.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
You wouldn't want an in and Out TV though, because
people would assume the worst.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Thank you, okay, I'll give you that one. I'll give
you that one. In and Out after Dark, Yeah, I
got it. Okay, oh my.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Good this, yeah, I wonderful. I'll have the squiggly line
down the center. There's another deep cut. You have to
be a certain age to know that. There's half my
childhood right the look what are you watching?
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Has no idea what I'm talking about, really not at all.
Oh my goodness. Okay, let me do this very quick.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Back in the day when cable first started, there were
these single channel cable systems.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
One was like on TV, one was select TV channel.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yeah, and they would scramble the signal if you didn't
pay for it, like you could turn on the channel,
but if you didn't pay for it, they would scramble
the signal and there would just be the squiggly line
down the center.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
And it was it's like really bad reception on a broadcast. Yes, yes,
I'm trying to remember.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
And adolescents like me the country over were turning our
head upside down trying to figure out where the boobs
were that's what to seepe to see It's like how
what there was one right there that was a nipple? Yeah, okay,
I completely forgot about that, but yeah, you just triggered
some like you.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Know, memory memory, You don't know how hard we had
it back then? What did you say?
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Well, it was rough, that's all I'm saying. It was difficult.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
We got the better word, yes, yes, yes, So it
felt like it felt like a win.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
When you were like a kid, you were just like, yeah,
you're getting overhere on the man, You're getting over on
the system.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Because my parents guarded our on TV like it was
my dad's stack of playboys and he had those, so
it was almost like they were trying to keep me
away from the evil of the pornography. And it's like
it was never successful because there were times I'd come
out there late at night because there was only one
TV in the house which had the on TV, so
(05:47):
I'm looking at the late at night because they would
show the skin flicks at night, so you watch the
squiggly line so hopefully you can see a little something.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
We're talking soft core porn.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
It wasn't on porn is just basically nudity and simulated sex.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
We had nothing. E Manuel after Dark.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Yes, those were the best ones because you had like
a Manuel goes to Paris.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
They had like five or six different Emmanuel and that
was the classy stuff there was. There was lower rent
stuff than that.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yeah, because those had like an actual storyline even though
it was crappy, but there.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Was way more.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Look one of my favorite actresses, actress, No, Marilyn Chambers.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Well, now, okay, that was a deep cut, quite deep
in fact, Yes, like deep ocean cuts. Not Marylyn Uh.
Never mind saying no, I'm withdrawing from this. What did
you say, You're you're pulling out? Look at the time,
(06:51):
it's Later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Can't find and now I know Chick fil A was like,
we did not want to be part of that conversation.
We're live everywhere the Iheartra app We'll talk Jana Jackson
and tell you some true stories when I was working
with Janet Jackson.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
In just a moment, you're listening to Later with Moe
Kelly on demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
And I love to hear from folks who can appreciate
the music stories that I get to tell. As we
get older, the only thing we have of value are
the stories and memories that we have to share. And
there's a story which is in the news where Janet
Jackson has announced her Las Vegas residency and she says
it's going to be a lot of fun. Five time
(07:34):
Grammy Award winning superstar announced her residency, which says to
me that she's finally getting her flowers. When you get
to Las Vegas, that is where you get to just
finish out your career. I know she was on tour,
but this is where you get to stay for as
long as you can bring in the fans, and she'll
probably bring in the fans for many years. But it
(07:55):
got me thinking about my time working at Virgin Records,
and at the time it was in Beverly Hills and
I was working as a manager of promotion and we
were responsible for her Velvet Rope tour and album. That
song you heard, I Get Loneli is from the Velvet
Rope album. And joining me on the line right now
(08:17):
is one of my closest friends in the business.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Is a former Marine did He worked.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Security for Virgin Records and has a lot of the
same stories as I do, and I love to bring
him on for storytime. Larry Pitkin LP as we call him,
and he joins me right now, LP.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
How you doing, sir?
Speaker 5 (08:36):
I'm great, fantastic, and.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Just correct me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
I may misremember some things you have worked security for
the entertainment industry, not just music industry, for the better
part of thirty years.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
That is right.
Speaker 6 (08:51):
I cut my teeth sad version though. That was my experience.
That's where I learned how to do what I do now.
Was what's the craziness at the that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
And you also worked for was it LA Port Authority?
You worked in law enforcement?
Speaker 5 (09:06):
I worked for sure modern police Department.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Okay, all right, see I get some things wrong every
now and then, but the but the point is you
and I had a level of access that not everyone
else would have when it would come to Janet Jackson.
You weren't guarding her, but you were, uh working as
a bodyguard for the top executive in Virgin urban music
at the time.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
Correct, Yes, uh huh, yep.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Do you remember when we were hanging out with Janet?
Speaker 3 (09:36):
It was there were two meetings.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
It was the first time where they did the the
album released party for just the DJs, and they had
Renee Alessando, her husband at the time, come in and
give a world premiere of previews just like the LA
Area of DJs.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
Do you remember that, I sure do, very vividly.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Yeah, And we and we were so tickled to be
able to hear all the music just like that song
before or anyone else in the world. And also there
was a time a few weeks later, if I'm not
mistaken where we had the official music industry album release
party of that album. And I can't remember it was
that her house or one of her houses, or there
(10:16):
was just a mansion that was rented for that, and
we had all the staff up there, and she went
around to everyone everyone and personally shook everyone's hands, spoke,
had time for dozens and dozens of people, and expressed
her just gratitude how hard we were working.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Do you remember that night?
Speaker 6 (10:36):
I do remember that night, but if I can, the
first time I really ever met her was on week
had an album release party, and she was very humble,
and she came to me and she said, you know,
I just wanted to say hy. I introduced myself, and
I was like, I know who you are, right myself.
I'm like I'm like, hey, I'm nobody, and she says, oh, well,
(10:57):
I always see you with and she mentioned my boss,
so you got to be important somewhere, and so I
was like, wow, hear this person.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Multay Platinum.
Speaker 6 (11:07):
Margis has done all these things here, she's going to
come and recognize me. But another story about that album
release party, I mean we had everybody there. I mean,
like I think Curtis blow was there. We had some
people there, and I remember her name was playing the
album and somebody said to him about you know who's
the boss and the family, and I'll never forget this,
he says, I would have passed the family, but Janet
(11:30):
buys them.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
That's not untrue.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
It's not the most truthful thing I heard that night, probably,
But yeah, uh there are.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
A few people that I can honestly say that I
do not have a negative word to say about. And
I would never presume to know Janet Jackson. I would
never presume that. But I've been around her, and you've
been around her enough times to have a real sense
of who who she is as a person. Because back
(12:02):
then it's pre social media. So it wasn't like, uh,
ye didn't have to worry about camera phones. We weren't
allowed to have cameras, but it wasn't like you had
to worry about No, we didn't.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Sign in NDIA.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
It wasn't like we weren't to be able to tell
anybody anything about anything so we got a real sense
of who she was, just in her natural habitat, as
they say, one of the nicest people I think I've
ever met in this business. And there are a lot
of a holes in this business.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Oh sure, they could do a whole show on that.
Speaker 6 (12:34):
The thing about Janet to her and mister B they
really got along really well, and she even said that,
you know, he reminded her of one of her brothers.
And you know, for someone to say that, you know
you're on the same level as a family member. You know.
I don't know if if Eric was really that great
(12:54):
of a guy. I mean, I think he is, but
you know, it just kind of showed her her humbleness
and humanity towards or everybody that helped her with the project.
She didn't forget who really did all the hard work.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Well, I'm going to go ahead and say the person's
name so people know to whom you're referring when you
say mister B. That's Eric Brooks, who was the vice
president senior vice president of Urban Music at the time.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Correct.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
But we had the luxury, i would say, and the
privilege to have a level of access that a lot
of people did not have. At that time, and I
know that you probably have other stories. Did you come
with me? And Twalla Sharp may remember this he's doing something,
but I know he can hear me. I had the
(13:36):
privilege of being able to take her to KKBT for
a radio day.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
Yeah, I don't remember that in particular. I mean, if
Eric was with her, then I was probably there, but
I really don't. You know, during that time, I was
doing a lot of people at different radio stations. I've
been there to that radio station many times, but to
put that one in.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Recollection of the Okay, then I got so lucky because
Mark Boyd, one of my mentors, may rest in peace
for some reason.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
I think he was out of.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Town because it fell to me, and I got the
privileges like, okay, you got to go with Janet today
over to KKBT, which was at the time the number
one urban station in LA and I got to walk
in with Janet Jackson.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
And I was like the.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Man because they were doing all the pictures and I
had to handle all that, and Jannet was looking at
It's like, where do you want me to go next?
They said, you're asking me like I I'm somebody. But
that's and she was very soft spoken. She never spoke
higher than a whisper. She was just one of those
people where she understood that she was a super celebrity,
(14:44):
but she did not present herself in that way ever,
not anytime I was around her.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Never.
Speaker 6 (14:51):
I can't speak yet, I have to say the same thing.
And you know, a lot of celebrities, high profile people,
you know, they get this attitude. And what I have found,
you know, in my experience of working with people like that,
is it the more powerful, powerful they are and the
more fans have it, more recognition, they seem to be
a little bit more humble. But out of all of
the people I've ever been with that are on that level,
(15:14):
with her, uh, she was the most normal person to
be around. She was always thankful and you really thought
that she appreciated, appreciated everything you were doing, uh with her project.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
And that doesn't seem like that's the case with superstars
today at all.
Speaker 6 (15:30):
Well, you know, the people that I work with now,
you know, they're people I work with a lot older now.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
But yeah, in general, a lot of.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
People now are still you know, they're I'm not going
to mention any names, but yeah, they're out of control
and it's it's embarrassing to be seen with them.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
To be quite honest with you.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Well, I got a ron LP.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
But I appreciate you or co signing some of these
stories so they know I'm not making it up.
Speaker 6 (15:54):
No, when you're talking stuff on the on the on
your show and you're talking about the times I was around,
I'm young at the radio like you. Yeah, that's how
it is, that's the way it was.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Well, we have there. We've had some moments, have we not.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
It was a good time, a great time. We were
right at the pinnacle peak of hip hop at the time.
And I'm going to tell you right now that hip
hop experience I have that's what's made my career to
this day. Really all experience I got there.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
And we've been friends ever since. I love you, brother, Sure,
I love you too.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
We'll talk soon. It's Later with mo Kelly can if
I Am six forty. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio
app and we have some new information talking about parties
at the endt it Dome.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Possibly that may go into the morning. That's next.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
The into it dome.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
There's been a lot of discussion about its importance to
the community, what it's going to mean for concerts, and
obviously the Clippers. But did you know, thanks to a
bill quietly passed in the California Senate earlier this week,
an exclusive venue in the end to a dome, we're
(17:06):
able to have parties until four am.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
AB thirty two oh six.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Says that alcoholic beverages sales to occur between.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Two am and four am.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Upon the on sale licensed premises operated in a fully
enclosed arena with a seating capacity of at least eighteen
thousand seats, located in the city of Inglewood. And I
quote now, for folks, Elmer, you're gonna know where I'm
going with this. For folks in California, we don't know
anything about an after hour set.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
If you were in New York, this is typical.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
You can go to a club at two three in
the morning and come out, you know, when the sun
comes up. That's an East Coast thing. We're not used
to that here on the West Coast. Mark you're not
in your head you know a little something about this.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
I'd be dead. I would be dead.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
I almost took a job with Comedy Central right out
of grad school in New York, and I can't even
imagine I would be long in the ground by now.
But so especially when you combine a later last call
with a sporting event. What could possibly go wrong?
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Well, it's not. It was loosely enforced.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Back in the eighties, during the showtime era of the Lakers,
there was this place called the Forum Club, which was
at the Forum.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Did they did pick that in that HBO show Winning Time? Yes,
it is okay, accurate, It is accurate. I didn't get
to go to it during the heyday because I was
only a teenager. How accurate was Jerry Buss's hair in
Winning Time?
Speaker 2 (18:45):
According to Genie Buss, she felt that she was watching
her dad. That's how accurate John c Riley's performance was.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
It was a terrific show, by the way.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Terrific show, and most of it they got right from
what I know about the l from what I remember
about that storyline and published accounts. And I did get
to go to the Forum Club on a couple of
occasions once I was under age, and because my cousin
went to college and back then they had junior varsity
(19:17):
college basketball teams in the eighties. He went to UNC
and he played with James Worthy, and so I was
about maybe fifteen years old and he came out to
California my cousin. He said, hey, let's go to the
Laker game. I'll introduce you to James Worthy. True story,
I can't remember who they were even playing.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
I was just so.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Over the moon to be able to meet James Worthy.
So he took me down to meet James Worthy after
the game, and he had showered and everything. So all
the players were coming out and the security is very
different back then, very different, so you had a chance
to really go up and meet them. This right outside
the Forum Club. And so I got to meet James Worthy.
They called him the stick Man, his nickname in college,
(20:01):
and I just remember he had these huge hands. James
Worthy six's eight now, I'm like, you know, four foot
two at the time.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Got to meet James Worthy.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
But then afterwards we hung out in the Forum Club
for a little bit because that's where all the Lakers
would go after the game.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
And then you get to see all the Lakers, and
it was it was.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
A different time and I'm quite sure you couldn't sell
alcohol until four in the morning. You couldn't have miners
in there. But I was up in there and they
were selling alcohol. And I know my mother's like, where
is my son? But I was with my cousin who
was like in his late twenties. He's about same age
obviously as James Worthy. So if this would be reminiscent,
(20:41):
the whole point of this is it would be reminiscent
of the Forum club, where you'd have NBA players, you'd
have stars, you'd have all sorts of notable people who
would come and be able to party until the wee
hours of the morning. This could be huge for the
Clipper and the into it, don't That's the point.
Speaker 7 (21:02):
I think this can be a huge problem, yes, and
for the city. You mean another problem, unfortunately, because we
have another level of crime and violence in Los Angeles,
and you and I we both know what happens to
individuals who are caught slipping leaving a club four o'clock
(21:22):
in the morning. This is going to be a target
for all these would be criminals who are carjacking, taking watches, whatever.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Not my problem, Not my problem.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Look, I just want to wait for the headlines because
you're gonna have all these drunk people leaving the club
at four four point thirty in the morning, who are
not gonna use Uber. I'm just I'm just waiting for
the people to start losing their jobs and their careers.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
It's coming. Oh, it's absolutely gone. You know.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
You can also just play Devil's advocate here. Look at
the situation in the UK where their last call is
like ten at night and people binge drink like crazy
because they want to get in as many as they can,
and they absolutely go. Brazil can have much worse hooliganism
sports hooliganism than we do.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
We do, but we can't have nice things. We just
don't know how to act. It may not be to
the extent of what happens in the UK, but there
is something to be said for not allowing people to
drink until three four in the morning in an area
that doesn't have real public transportation. In other words, in
New York you can catch a train, and I know
(22:25):
Elbur will back this up. You can get a train
anywhere in New York, true, anywhere.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
We don't have that.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
And these folks, even though we got Uber now which
helps and lift, you know, they're gonna get in their
car and they're gonna do something stupid because why it's
four in the morning and they're not gonna be waiting
out there, let's say, during the basketball season in the winter,
waiting for.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
An uber a little America. We can't have nice things.
Oh you gotta not a copyright that? Yeah, yeah, it's
a commercial right there. It's story timing out.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
All my great stories are coming out tonight, can if
I AM six forty we're live everywhere the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
And before we get out of here, I had a friend,
one of the loyal listeners in box me on Instagram
at Later with Mo Kelly and sent over this message.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Now, Tuala, you don't know what I'm getting ready to read.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Nope, but I'm going to read it on a briefly
respond and then I want you to respond because we're
all about the truth here. This guy on Twitter, so
it had to be sent to me. The dark Lord
seventy six said the following. So, if you're listening to
the dark Lord seventy six, I'm getting ready to correct you.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Quote from the dark Lord.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
I find it interesting HOWKFI am six forty it's covering
nearly every last bit of the DNC, but only had
snippets of the RNC. I wonder why that is? I
go first, Then you got okay number one. That is
one hundred percent untrue. We actually had more of the RNC,
(24:03):
at least on this show. Can't speak for other shows.
We played every single speech of every speaker in the
first hour which led up to the end of the
R and C each night. Here are the only two differences.
We played less of the DNC. Now, the DNC started
on Monday as opposed to Tuesday with the R and C,
so that may be part of the reason why you
(24:25):
may have felt it was longer. But we played less
of the DNC. We skipped over a lot of the
speeches in the DNC, and in fact, when it came
down to the vice presidential and presidential nominees, we took
both political parties of nominees speeches uninterrupted, blew out the
(24:49):
commercial breaks, and in fact jd Vance's speech was longer
than Tim Walls and Donald Trump's hour and a half
speech was longer than Kamala Harris's. So for those who
may be of the opinion that there was some sort
of favoritism shown to the DNC, that is factually untrue.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
We have the podcast to prove it.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Now you may say, well, why is it gas garon
Shannon only went to the DNC. Well, we only had
a sponsor for the DNC. If someone had stepped up
and sponsored a broadcast of the rn C would have
had a broadcast there. So if you think that some
sort of favoritism was shown to the DNC, that is
factually untrue, and we have all the audio to prove it.
Speaker 7 (25:29):
I find it interesting that the dark Lord obviously doesn't
listen to KFI, and if the dark Lord does, the
dark Lord only listens selectively. And maybe the dark Lord
only listened to a couple of the DNC segments and
missed the entire week where you cover the entirety of
the RNC. Top two bottom literally gave maybe a third
(25:54):
of the not even a third of the show, maybe
a third of the last hour of the show, two
any other content. Every single day of the DNC there
were literally only snippets of people played, and that was
only towards the end.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
We could tell we look four minutes of maybe Hillary Clinton, yep,
We took a few minutes of Ashley Biden leading into
Joe Biden, and we had a conversation about this with
station management. Hey, we want to listen to presidents and
former presidents. That was the only reason why we played
Biden and some of Obama. We didn't play all of
his speech.
Speaker 7 (26:26):
No, No, did not play all of his speech, only
played about a five minute segment of Michelle Obama skipped
every other speaker, every other person did not play Pelosi,
didn't play Newsom, didn't play Clinton, Budha, Jets, no one.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Okay, we didn't play anyone, okay, and not like that.
Speaker 7 (26:47):
Both of the Democratic vice president and the presidential nominie,
they were both very very short.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (26:53):
Outside of that, most of the show has been dedicated
to thought and analysis of But again, as you say,
time and time again, people only hear what they want
to hear.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Look, on this show, we tell the truth. And that
was sent to me, so I felt compelled to respond
to it. If you're gonna lie and I catch you lying,
I'm gonna call you out. We got podcasts. This is
not a debate. It's not like well I know, well
I hurt. No, you didn't well, I think I don't care.
Speaker 6 (27:21):
All right.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
We covered both parties equally, fairly and without any bias.
I did not tell you what I felt about the speeches.
I didn't go into why I thought this was a
good speech or a bad speech. I talked about what
may have been missed or what was omitted, something to
(27:43):
look for in the coming days. But no favoritism was shown.
That's not what we do. This is not advocacy radio.
And if you want to lege some sort of conspiracy
of favoritism between the two parties, not on this show,
or at least have you fact straight right.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Yeah, as the kids say, we have the receipts. Oh drop.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
The dark lord has a busy schedule. You can't listen constantly.
A dark lord has things to get done.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
But it was more important to impunion integrity because I'm
looking at the message and it was during our show,
So I think he's talking about us and the intimation
and supposition that there must be some sort of favoritism
because this guard is a Democrat or somehow left liberal,
not a tree hugger.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
I love when you.
Speaker 7 (28:31):
I love when you have that tone of I find
it interesting that that that's almost like you want to
get the taste lapped out of your mouth.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Yeah, don't don't say stuff that is just patently untrue.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
That's not what we do here.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
And if and if you want to accuse somebody of something,
you better have the facts to back it up. Like
Stephan said, you better have the receipts because all our
audio is recorded.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
And see, this is why I deleted my Twitter count
this evening. Well this was said to me because I
was just fine. I to my business.
Speaker 7 (29:00):
Probably couldn't have send it to me, because I literally
did after I saw the comments that were being made
about Governor Wallson and his reaction. I said, you know what,
that's it. I refuse to ever, ever, ever look at
this app again. That's probably why they had to send it.
By way, if someone else says, man, this, someone just
asked me about you, And I.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Appreciate that because because obviously the person had listened to
the show and said, mo, what this can't be true.
You know, Look, we'll see all tomorrow and tomorrow's Friday,
so I think we should have some fun tomorrow, maybe
give away some prizes, talk movies, you know, talk about
Twala's new car. We didn't get a chance to talk
(29:42):
about that tonight. He's actually wearing a collared shirt. I
don't remember the last time I saw Twalla.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
College shirt he was.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
I think we was at my wedding that it was
the last time I saw my collar shirt. No exaggeration,
They can me nervous, Am I lying Noway? He usually
has a hoodie on or something. I'm the one who's
using it. In the collared shirt.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
I had to do it. We'll see you all tomorrow.

You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Everybody knows about Chick fil A. If you say chick
fil A, you probably think of their food. Well, Chick
fil A is going to start want you to think
of them in an additional way. Chick fil A is
going to start a streaming service with shows and movies. Now,
(00:29):
from what I understand, Chick fil A has been working
with a number of major production companies movie studios to
create family friendly shows, particularly reality ones, and it's also
in talks to license and acquire content. Now, I know
when you think about Chick fil A, you may not
think about TV and movies. But I actually get this
(00:52):
from a business standpoint. Hear me out, hear me out.
We know Disney is known for what like amusement parks, movies, TV,
but they've also moved into the space of real estate
and plan communities, diversifying their overall holdings. Remember Hallmark start
(01:13):
out with gift cards, and all of a sudden they're
doing what TV and movies Hallmark Channel.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
This is slightly different.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
I get that Chick fil A is moving from or
including entertainment with its food, but I kind of get it,
if only because oh I forgot the obvious one Chicken
suit for the soul that was a book and entertainment company,
and then they wove into that.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Red Box TV and movies.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Understandable, they just recently filed bankruptcy, but this is this
is not unprecedented.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
You're saying chick TV might throw them a lifeline. Maybe possibly,
who knows.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
But I get what Chick fil A is doing because
you get to leverage the brand loyalty.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
You know. It's like the name you know, what was.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
The movie I think was the perfect What was the
Eddie Murphy movie, The Distinguished Gentleman. Yeah, and it was
like Jeff Johnson, the name you know that was the
campaign slogan.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
This is kind of like that. People who like Chick
fil A really like Chick fil A, And I don't
get that.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Can you explain to me. I've tried it a couple
of times. It's just a chicken sandwich. What's the big
deal to me? It's not that big a deal. I
watched me get flooded with emails.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
You will, but people, and this goes back to politics.
People feel a personal affinity. I think part of it
is the other things associated with Chick fil A. The
Christian connection. That's part of it. Let's be honest. So
it's an identity thing. He's an identity thing.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Yeah, doning a Tesla, cyber truck or something possibly.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I think that's one way you could look at it.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
But since there is that personal connection to the brand
of Chick fil A, the thinking is it would carry
over to other things connected to Chick fil A, if
it's family friendly TV shows and movies, which is not
inconsistent with the overall perception of the brand of Chick
(03:18):
fil A.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Or let's just say In and Out for example. You
think of In and Out.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
If you know the larger story of In and Out,
that's also a Christian company that put the Bible versus
I think on the bottom.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Of the cup. This is not new.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
So if In and Out were to expand their business
into entertainment, those people who are really loyal to the
brand of In and Out could.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Be loyal to some other business entity.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
You wouldn't want an in and Out TV though, because
people would assume the worst.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Thank you, okay, I'll give you that one. I'll give
you that one. In and Out after Dark, Yeah, I
got it. Okay, oh my.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Good this, yeah, I wonderful. I'll have the squiggly line
down the center. There's another deep cut. You have to
be a certain age to know that. There's half my
childhood right the look what are you watching?
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Has no idea what I'm talking about, really not at all.
Oh my goodness. Okay, let me do this very quick.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Back in the day when cable first started, there were
these single channel cable systems.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
One was like on TV, one was select TV channel.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yeah, and they would scramble the signal if you didn't
pay for it, like you could turn on the channel,
but if you didn't pay for it, they would scramble
the signal and there would just be the squiggly line
down the center.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
And it was it's like really bad reception on a broadcast. Yes, yes,
I'm trying to remember.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
And adolescents like me the country over were turning our
head upside down trying to figure out where the boobs
were that's what to seepe to see It's like how
what there was one right there that was a nipple? Yeah, okay,
I completely forgot about that, but yeah, you just triggered
some like you.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Know, memory memory, You don't know how hard we had
it back then? What did you say?
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Well, it was rough, that's all I'm saying. It was difficult.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
We got the better word, yes, yes, yes, So it
felt like it felt like a win.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
When you were like a kid, you were just like, yeah,
you're getting overhere on the man, You're getting over on
the system.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Because my parents guarded our on TV like it was
my dad's stack of playboys and he had those, so
it was almost like they were trying to keep me
away from the evil of the pornography. And it's like
it was never successful because there were times I'd come
out there late at night because there was only one
TV in the house which had the on TV, so
(05:47):
I'm looking at the late at night because they would
show the skin flicks at night, so you watch the
squiggly line so hopefully you can see a little something.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
We're talking soft core porn.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
It wasn't on porn is just basically nudity and simulated sex.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
We had nothing. E Manuel after Dark.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Yes, those were the best ones because you had like
a Manuel goes to Paris.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
They had like five or six different Emmanuel and that
was the classy stuff there was. There was lower rent
stuff than that.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yeah, because those had like an actual storyline even though
it was crappy, but there.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Was way more.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Look one of my favorite actresses, actress, No, Marilyn Chambers.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Well, now, okay, that was a deep cut, quite deep
in fact, Yes, like deep ocean cuts. Not Marylyn Uh.
Never mind saying no, I'm withdrawing from this. What did
you say, You're you're pulling out? Look at the time,
(06:51):
it's Later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Can't find and now I know Chick fil A was like,
we did not want to be part of that conversation.
We're live everywhere the Iheartra app We'll talk Jana Jackson
and tell you some true stories when I was working
with Janet Jackson.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
In just a moment, you're listening to Later with Moe
Kelly on demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
And I love to hear from folks who can appreciate
the music stories that I get to tell. As we
get older, the only thing we have of value are
the stories and memories that we have to share. And
there's a story which is in the news where Janet
Jackson has announced her Las Vegas residency and she says
it's going to be a lot of fun. Five time
(07:34):
Grammy Award winning superstar announced her residency, which says to
me that she's finally getting her flowers. When you get
to Las Vegas, that is where you get to just
finish out your career. I know she was on tour,
but this is where you get to stay for as
long as you can bring in the fans, and she'll
probably bring in the fans for many years. But it
(07:55):
got me thinking about my time working at Virgin Records,
and at the time it was in Beverly Hills and
I was working as a manager of promotion and we
were responsible for her Velvet Rope tour and album. That
song you heard, I Get Loneli is from the Velvet
Rope album. And joining me on the line right now
(08:17):
is one of my closest friends in the business.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Is a former Marine did He worked.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Security for Virgin Records and has a lot of the
same stories as I do, and I love to bring
him on for storytime. Larry Pitkin LP as we call him,
and he joins me right now, LP.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
How you doing, sir?
Speaker 5 (08:36):
I'm great, fantastic, and.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Just correct me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
I may misremember some things you have worked security for
the entertainment industry, not just music industry, for the better
part of thirty years.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
That is right.
Speaker 6 (08:51):
I cut my teeth sad version though. That was my experience.
That's where I learned how to do what I do now.
Was what's the craziness at the that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
And you also worked for was it LA Port Authority?
You worked in law enforcement?
Speaker 5 (09:06):
I worked for sure modern police Department.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Okay, all right, see I get some things wrong every
now and then, but the but the point is you
and I had a level of access that not everyone
else would have when it would come to Janet Jackson.
You weren't guarding her, but you were, uh working as
a bodyguard for the top executive in Virgin urban music
at the time.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
Correct, Yes, uh huh, yep.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Do you remember when we were hanging out with Janet?
Speaker 3 (09:36):
It was there were two meetings.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
It was the first time where they did the the
album released party for just the DJs, and they had
Renee Alessando, her husband at the time, come in and
give a world premiere of previews just like the LA
Area of DJs.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
Do you remember that, I sure do, very vividly.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Yeah, And we and we were so tickled to be
able to hear all the music just like that song
before or anyone else in the world. And also there
was a time a few weeks later, if I'm not
mistaken where we had the official music industry album release
party of that album. And I can't remember it was
that her house or one of her houses, or there
(10:16):
was just a mansion that was rented for that, and
we had all the staff up there, and she went
around to everyone everyone and personally shook everyone's hands, spoke,
had time for dozens and dozens of people, and expressed
her just gratitude how hard we were working.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Do you remember that night?
Speaker 6 (10:36):
I do remember that night, but if I can, the
first time I really ever met her was on week
had an album release party, and she was very humble,
and she came to me and she said, you know,
I just wanted to say hy. I introduced myself, and
I was like, I know who you are, right myself.
I'm like I'm like, hey, I'm nobody, and she says, oh, well,
(10:57):
I always see you with and she mentioned my boss,
so you got to be important somewhere, and so I
was like, wow, hear this person.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Multay Platinum.
Speaker 6 (11:07):
Margis has done all these things here, she's going to
come and recognize me. But another story about that album
release party, I mean we had everybody there. I mean,
like I think Curtis blow was there. We had some
people there, and I remember her name was playing the
album and somebody said to him about you know who's
the boss and the family, and I'll never forget this,
he says, I would have passed the family, but Janet
(11:30):
buys them.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
That's not untrue.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
It's not the most truthful thing I heard that night, probably,
But yeah, uh there are.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
A few people that I can honestly say that I
do not have a negative word to say about. And
I would never presume to know Janet Jackson. I would
never presume that. But I've been around her, and you've
been around her enough times to have a real sense
of who who she is as a person. Because back
(12:02):
then it's pre social media. So it wasn't like, uh,
ye didn't have to worry about camera phones. We weren't
allowed to have cameras, but it wasn't like you had
to worry about No, we didn't.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Sign in NDIA.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
It wasn't like we weren't to be able to tell
anybody anything about anything so we got a real sense
of who she was, just in her natural habitat, as
they say, one of the nicest people I think I've
ever met in this business. And there are a lot
of a holes in this business.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Oh sure, they could do a whole show on that.
Speaker 6 (12:34):
The thing about Janet to her and mister B they
really got along really well, and she even said that,
you know, he reminded her of one of her brothers.
And you know, for someone to say that, you know
you're on the same level as a family member. You know.
I don't know if if Eric was really that great
(12:54):
of a guy. I mean, I think he is, but
you know, it just kind of showed her her humbleness
and humanity towards or everybody that helped her with the project.
She didn't forget who really did all the hard work.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Well, I'm going to go ahead and say the person's
name so people know to whom you're referring when you
say mister B. That's Eric Brooks, who was the vice
president senior vice president of Urban Music at the time.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Correct.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
But we had the luxury, i would say, and the
privilege to have a level of access that a lot
of people did not have. At that time, and I
know that you probably have other stories. Did you come
with me? And Twalla Sharp may remember this he's doing something,
but I know he can hear me. I had the
(13:36):
privilege of being able to take her to KKBT for
a radio day.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
Yeah, I don't remember that in particular. I mean, if
Eric was with her, then I was probably there, but
I really don't. You know, during that time, I was
doing a lot of people at different radio stations. I've
been there to that radio station many times, but to
put that one in.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Recollection of the Okay, then I got so lucky because
Mark Boyd, one of my mentors, may rest in peace
for some reason.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
I think he was out of.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Town because it fell to me, and I got the
privileges like, okay, you got to go with Janet today
over to KKBT, which was at the time the number
one urban station in LA and I got to walk
in with Janet Jackson.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
And I was like the.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Man because they were doing all the pictures and I
had to handle all that, and Jannet was looking at
It's like, where do you want me to go next?
They said, you're asking me like I I'm somebody. But
that's and she was very soft spoken. She never spoke
higher than a whisper. She was just one of those
people where she understood that she was a super celebrity,
(14:44):
but she did not present herself in that way ever,
not anytime I was around her.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Never.
Speaker 6 (14:51):
I can't speak yet, I have to say the same thing.
And you know, a lot of celebrities, high profile people,
you know, they get this attitude. And what I have found,
you know, in my experience of working with people like that,
is it the more powerful, powerful they are and the
more fans have it, more recognition, they seem to be
a little bit more humble. But out of all of
the people I've ever been with that are on that level,
(15:14):
with her, uh, she was the most normal person to
be around. She was always thankful and you really thought
that she appreciated, appreciated everything you were doing, uh with her project.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
And that doesn't seem like that's the case with superstars
today at all.
Speaker 6 (15:30):
Well, you know, the people that I work with now,
you know, they're people I work with a lot older now.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
But yeah, in general, a lot of.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
People now are still you know, they're I'm not going
to mention any names, but yeah, they're out of control
and it's it's embarrassing to be seen with them.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
To be quite honest with you.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Well, I got a ron LP.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
But I appreciate you or co signing some of these
stories so they know I'm not making it up.
Speaker 6 (15:54):
No, when you're talking stuff on the on the on
your show and you're talking about the times I was around,
I'm young at the radio like you. Yeah, that's how
it is, that's the way it was.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Well, we have there. We've had some moments, have we not.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
It was a good time, a great time. We were
right at the pinnacle peak of hip hop at the time.
And I'm going to tell you right now that hip
hop experience I have that's what's made my career to
this day. Really all experience I got there.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
And we've been friends ever since. I love you, brother, Sure,
I love you too.

quote now, for folks, Elmer, you're gonna know where I'm
going with this. For folks in California, we don't know
anything about an after hour set.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
If you were in New York, this is typical.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
You can go to a club at two three in
the morning and come out, you know, when the sun
comes up. That's an East Coast thing. We're not used
to that here on the West Coast. Mark you're not
in your head you know a little something about this.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
I'd be dead. I would be dead.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
I almost took a job with Comedy Central right out
of grad school in New York, and I can't even
imagine I would be long in the ground by now.
But so especially when you combine a later last call
with a sporting event. What could possibly go wrong?
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Well, it's not. It was loosely enforced.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Back in the eighties, during the showtime era of the Lakers,
there was this place called the Forum Club, which was
at the Forum.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Did they did pick that in that HBO show Winning Time? Yes,
it is okay, accurate, It is accurate. I didn't get
to go to it during the heyday because I was
only a teenager. How accurate was Jerry Buss's hair in
Winning Time?
Speaker 2 (18:45):
According to Genie Buss, she felt that she was watching
her dad. That's how accurate John c Riley's performance was.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
It was a terrific show, by the way.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Terrific show, and most of it they got right from
what I know about the l from what I remember
about that storyline and published accounts. And I did get
to go to the Forum Club on a couple of
occasions once I was under age, and because my cousin
went to college and back then they had junior varsity
(19:17):
college basketball teams in the eighties. He went to UNC
and he played with James Worthy, and so I was
about maybe fifteen years old and he came out to
California my cousin. He said, hey, let's go to the
Laker game. I'll introduce you to James Worthy. True story,
I can't remember who they were even playing.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
I was just so.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Over the moon to be able to meet James Worthy.
So he took me down to meet James Worthy after
the game, and he had showered and everything. So all
the players were coming out and the security is very
different back then, very different, so you had a chance
to really go up and meet them. This right outside
the Forum Club. And so I got to meet James Worthy.
They called him the stick Man, his nickname in college,
(20:01):
and I just remember he had these huge hands. James
Worthy six's eight now, I'm like, you know, four foot
two at the time.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Got to meet James Worthy.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
But then afterwards we hung out in the Forum Club
for a little bit because that's where all the Lakers
would go after the game.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
And then you get to see all the Lakers, and
it was it was.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
A different time and I'm quite sure you couldn't sell
alcohol until four in the morning. You couldn't have miners
in there. But I was up in there and they
were selling alcohol. And I know my mother's like, where
is my son? But I was with my cousin who
was like in his late twenties. He's about same age
obviously as James Worthy. So if this would be reminiscent,
(20:41):
the whole point of this is it would be reminiscent
of the Forum club, where you'd have NBA players, you'd
have stars, you'd have all sorts of notable people who
would come and be able to party until the wee
hours of the morning. This could be huge for the
Clipper and the into it, don't That's the point.
Speaker 7 (21:02):
I think this can be a huge problem, yes, and
for the city. You mean another problem, unfortunately, because we
have another level of crime and violence in Los Angeles,
and you and I we both know what happens to
individuals who are caught slipping leaving a club four o'clock
(21:22):
in the morning. This is going to be a target
for all these would be criminals who are carjacking, taking watches, whatever.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Not my problem, Not my problem.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Look, I just want to wait for the headlines because
you're gonna have all these drunk people leaving the club
at four four point thirty in the morning, who are
not gonna use Uber. I'm just I'm just waiting for
the people to start losing their jobs and their careers.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
It's coming. Oh, it's absolutely gone. You know.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
You can also just play Devil's advocate here. Look at
the situation in the UK where their last call is
like ten at night and people binge drink like crazy
because they want to get in as many as they can,
and they absolutely go. Brazil can have much worse hooliganism
sports hooliganism than we do.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
We do, but we can't have nice things. We just
don't know how to act. It may not be to
the extent of what happens in the UK, but there
is something to be said for not allowing people to
drink until three four in the morning in an area
that doesn't have real public transportation. In other words, in
New York you can catch a train, and I know
(22:25):
Elbur will back this up. You can get a train
anywhere in New York, true, anywhere.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
We don't have that.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
And these folks, even though we got Uber now which
helps and lift, you know, they're gonna get in their
car and they're gonna do something stupid because why it's
four in the morning and they're not gonna be waiting
out there, let's say, during the basketball season in the winter,
waiting for.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
An uber a little America. We can't have nice things.
Oh you gotta not a copyright that? Yeah, yeah, it's
a commercial right there. It's story timing out.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
All my great stories are coming out tonight, can if
I AM six forty we're live everywhere the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
And before we get out of here, I had a friend,
one of the loyal listeners in box me on Instagram
at Later with Mo Kelly and sent over this message.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Now, Tuala, you don't know what I'm getting ready to read.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Nope, but I'm going to read it on a briefly
respond and then I want you to respond because we're
all about the truth here. This guy on Twitter, so
it had to be sent to me. The dark Lord
seventy six said the following. So, if you're listening to
the dark Lord seventy six, I'm getting ready to correct you.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Quote from the dark Lord.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
I find it interesting HOWKFI am six forty it's covering
nearly every last bit of the DNC, but only had
snippets of the RNC. I wonder why that is? I
go first, Then you got okay number one. That is
one hundred percent untrue. We actually had more of the RNC,
(24:03):
at least on this show. Can't speak for other shows.
We played every single speech of every speaker in the
first hour which led up to the end of the
R and C each night. Here are the only two differences.
We played less of the DNC. Now, the DNC started
on Monday as opposed to Tuesday with the R and C,
so that may be part of the reason why you
(24:25):
may have felt it was longer. But we played less
of the DNC. We skipped over a lot of the
speeches in the DNC, and in fact, when it came
down to the vice presidential and presidential nominees, we took
both political parties of nominees speeches uninterrupted, blew out the
(24:49):
commercial breaks, and in fact jd Vance's speech was longer
than Tim Walls and Donald Trump's hour and a half
speech was longer than Kamala Harris's. So for those who
may be of the opinion that there was some sort
of favoritism shown to the DNC, that is factually untrue.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
We have the podcast to prove it.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Now you may say, well, why is it gas garon
Shannon only went to the DNC. Well, we only had
a sponsor for the DNC. If someone had stepped up
and sponsored a broadcast of the rn C would have
had a broadcast there. So if you think that some
sort of favoritism was shown to the DNC, that is
factually untrue, and we have all the audio to prove it.
Speaker 7 (25:29):
I find it interesting that the dark Lord obviously doesn't
listen to KFI, and if the dark Lord does, the
dark Lord only listens selectively. And maybe the dark Lord
only listened to a couple of the DNC segments and
missed the entire week where you cover the entirety of
the RNC. Top two bottom literally gave maybe a third
(25:54):
of the not even a third of the show, maybe
a third of the last hour of the show, two
any other content. Every single day of the DNC there
were literally only snippets of people played, and that was
only towards the end.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
We could tell we look four minutes of maybe Hillary Clinton, yep,
We took a few minutes of Ashley Biden leading into
Joe Biden, and we had a conversation about this with
station management. Hey, we want to listen to presidents and
former presidents. That was the only reason why we played
Biden and some of Obama. We didn't play all of
his speech.
Speaker 7 (26:26):
No, No, did not play all of his speech, only
played about a five minute segment of Michelle Obama skipped
every other speaker, every other person did not play Pelosi,
didn't play Newsom, didn't play Clinton, Budha, Jets, no one.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Okay, we didn't play anyone, okay, and not like that.
Speaker 7 (26:47):
Both of the Democratic vice president and the presidential nominie,
they were both very very short.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (26:53):
Outside of that, most of the show has been dedicated
to thought and analysis of But again, as you say,
time and time again, people only hear what they want
to hear.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Look, on this show, we tell the truth. And that
was sent to me, so I felt compelled to respond
to it. If you're gonna lie and I catch you lying,
I'm gonna call you out. We got podcasts. This is
not a debate. It's not like well I know, well
I hurt. No, you didn't well, I think I don't care.
Speaker 6 (27:21):
All right.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
We covered both parties equally, fairly and without any bias.
I did not tell you what I felt about the speeches.
I didn't go into why I thought this was a
good speech or a bad speech. I talked about what
may have been missed or what was omitted, something to
(27:43):
look for in the coming days. But no favoritism was shown.
That's not what we do. This is not advocacy radio.
And if you want to lege some sort of conspiracy
of favoritism between the two parties, not on this show,
or at least have you fact straight right.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Yeah, as the kids say, we have the receipts. Oh drop.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
The dark lord has a busy schedule. You can't listen constantly.
A dark lord has things to get done.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
But it was more important to impunion integrity because I'm
looking at the message and it was during our show,
So I think he's talking about us and the intimation
and supposition that there must be some sort of favoritism
because this guard is a Democrat or somehow left liberal,
not a tree hugger.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
I love when you.
Speaker 7 (28:31):
I love when you have that tone of I find
it interesting that that that's almost like you want to
get the taste lapped out of your mouth.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Yeah, don't don't say stuff that is just patently untrue.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
That's not what we do here.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
And if and if you want to accuse somebody of something,
you better have the facts to back it up. Like
Stephan said, you better have the receipts because all our
audio is recorded.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
And see, this is why I deleted my Twitter count
this evening. Well this was said to me because I
was just fine. I to my business.
Speaker 7 (29:00):
Probably couldn't have send it to me, because I literally
did after I saw the comments that were being made
about Governor Wallson and his reaction. I said, you know what,
that's it. I refuse to ever, ever, ever look at
this app again. That's probably why they had to send it.
By way, if someone else says, man, this, someone just
asked me about you, And I.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Appreciate that because because obviously the person had listened to
the show and said, mo, what this can't be true.
You know, Look, we'll see all tomorrow and tomorrow's Friday,
so I think we should have some fun tomorrow, maybe
give away some prizes, talk movies, you know, talk about
Twala's new car. We didn't get a chance to talk
(29:42):
about that tonight. He's actually wearing a collared shirt. I
don't remember the last time I saw Twalla.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
College shirt he was.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
I think we was at my wedding that it was
the last time I saw my collar shirt. No exaggeration,
They can me nervous, Am I lying Noway? He usually
has a hoodie on or something. I'm the one who's
using it. In the collared shirt.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
I had to do it. We'll see you all tomorrow.
Kf I am six forty. We live everywhere on the
