Speaker 1 (00:22):
KFIM six forty is later with Mo Kelly. We're live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. And I hate to start
off the show which I told you so, but we
pretty much told you so. Last night we were talking
about how Cassie Ventura's lawsuit opened the door for everything
which you are seeing right now with respect to Sean P.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Diddy Combs.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
And because of that lawsuit, there were another nine which
were filed in the days after that, and then you
had the criminal charges filed by Homeland Security. And now
today you have another lawsuit in which a woman is
suing Sean Diddy homes and also his head security person,
Joseph Sherman, Bad Boy Entertainment, and various companies and attributed
(01:08):
to Combs for alleged sexual assault and emotional distress, alleging
Combs and Sherman quote unquote mercilessly raping her and other
I can't get too specific, but it's very graphic. What
I'm saying is because of those previous lawsuits, and I
said how those lawsuits were sharing information and testimony with
(01:32):
the DOJ, Homeland Security, federal authorities, you would have more
accessibility to evidence. They were going to be sharing witness testimony,
and you could have people who would be coming forward
and offering evidence which could further implicate Sean Combs.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
And you're seeing that right now. Although this is.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
A civil suit, I'm quite sure this victim, alleged victim
is going to be talking with federal authorities as well
and see if there are any criminal implications. Because of
Cassie Ventura, because she was brave enough to step forward,
you will see more and more people coming forward. Now
(02:14):
to a person who doesn't really understand how these things work,
then they say, oh, they're just piling on, oh this
trust trying to get paid.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
No, they're going to have to back up what they're saying.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
It's not like they're just going to make these allegations
and then that's that and they'll get paid. No, they
will have to go through the same type of scrutiny
as everyone else. The only point that I'm trying to
make is since they're also criminal charges pending, you will
see a back and forth and flow of evidence and
testimony shared information between the criminal allegations, that indictment, and
(02:50):
also these civil lawsuits. We tried to tell you that
this is going to be the reckoning for the music
industry and in my other worlds, I said that Sean
dit Combs is arguably, and I would say almost definitely
at this point, the most consequential member of the Me
Too movement. Here's why Jeffrey Epstein is not really connected
(03:12):
and was not connected to the Me Too movement. Those
are also criminal investigations had been going on separate and distinct.
Now you can say Bill Cosby, but it wasn't the
type of criminology criminality which was alleged share even with
r Kelly, not the same depth of alleged depravity that
we're talking about on this level. And given I will
(03:34):
say the monetary access and success, the supposed billionaire status
of Sean Didcombs, he is at least at this moment,
the most consequential result of the Me Too movement women
coming forward telling their stories, and then also Sean did
Coombs being held to account. What you saw today, and
(03:57):
I know that CAFI News has been talking about it
in the news that you're going to see more of.
I'd be willing to bet that there will be other
women and possibly men who will be coming forward. And yes,
the larger public and the civil court system will judge
them on their merits. Some will be taken seriously, some
will not be taken seriously. But what you're seeing is
(04:20):
and Twalla and I had talked about this, the difference
between Sean Ditty Combs and I will say other people
caught up in the B two movement other people. There
was a feeling that people were going to be afraid
of losing their place, losing their job, losing their career,
but there wasn't the threat of physical violence as it's
(04:41):
understood with p Diddy Combs. The people are coming forward
now are saying that they were afraid for their own lives,
not just their livelihood, but their lives. They were concerned
about whether they were going to be in physical danger
by coming forward and speaking. And because someone did come
forward looking at the video right now on NBC four,
(05:02):
because this woman casting ventor did come forward, it gave
not only other people cover but also protection to tell
their stories as well. And with Diddy going to jail
at least in the short term, being remanded, not being
able to tamper with witnesses or or threaten witnesses, it
(05:25):
allowed other people some cover and some confidence to come
forward and tell their stories that's the main difference. And
we told people all the time the threats were real,
the concern about violence was real. I know to while
I can't speak for you, I know I've had my
life threatened in the music business at least twice that
(05:46):
I can think of.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
I've had my life threatened several times where guns were
pulled out, and even at one point in time the
radio station I worked at, we as the station were
threatened and told we cannot go out and do street
promote motions anymore for threat that our very street team
will be shot up if we did not pay due
to this one specific gang. It's interesting more, for the
(06:10):
longest time, you had posed this following question that one
day ago the New York Times has finally asked. The
headline reads, Sean Combe's arrest has the music world asking
is our me too?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Here? But we were talking about that months ago.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
I saw this as I said to myself, we need
to see say that again.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Yes, because anyone who's listening to Later with Mo Kelly
knows that we have not only asked that question, but
answered that specific question on a number of occasions.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Say it again, please, to Wala from The New York times,
Sean Combe's arrest has our music world asking is our
music is our me too?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Here, well, I think we've already answered that question.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
We said, not only was there a separation between the
original me too movement, which had largely to do with
television and movie slash film, the music industry was pretty
much skipped over. And we said, we had people guests
come in and talk all about their stories about oh
my goodness, there's so much which was going on in
the music industry. Maybe it didn't receive the same type
(07:23):
of press because the names, by and large were not
as well known, with the exception of someone the high
prifile profile nature of a Sean Ditty Combs or an R. Kelly,
you know, someone has to be on a certain level
for the general public to know. But we always knew
it was right there. It was always there.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
We talked about it when the me Too movement first
came around. We did not scoff at the idea, but
we looked at some of the stories that were coming
out and we said, even then, since two three years ago,
we said, this is Tuesday in the music industry. All
the stuff you see in these music videos and these
(08:06):
and here on these rap records where they're talking all
this graphic, crude language towards women. This is not just lyricism.
A lot of this comes from real life experiences that
you and I have seen that you and I have
called out and it was just a wonder. We said,
then when is it going to hit and who's going
(08:26):
to be the first domino to fall?
Speaker 1 (08:28):
We said, at least in terms of Diddy, there would
be more people coming forward in the past week. I
know that we've said exactly that, and we see that
today with the press conference with Gloria Allread. This woman
has sued Sean ditty Comb's alleging violent forcible rape. Statute
(08:49):
of limitations prevents a criminal prosecution. But I am sure,
as I said before, that she will be offering testimony
to federal authority, which because she also alleges that it
was recorded, and so remember Diddy's house has been rated,
if that video should also be part of what was
(09:11):
rated from his house. Look, I'm not a lawyer. I'm
just saying the implications as far as pornography and the
use of wire. Look, there could be other criminal charges
pending which don't have to do specifically with rape, where
the statue of limitations has expired. This is going to
(09:34):
get a lot worse before it gets better. And if
you didn't believe me last time, please believe me this time.
There will be more people who will come forward. It's
Later with mo Kelly. We want to talk about USC
getting sued by Reggie Bush. I thought he was just
inducted back into the fold of USC and now he's
turning around and suing the university.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Yes he is. Will tell you why in just a moment.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
If you know, I'm a huge USC Trojans football fan.
The team losing last Saturday against Michigan broke my heart.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
They should have won that game.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I say that only because I followed the program for
the better part of forty years, going back to the
days of John Robinson when he was head coach.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
So I know the USC program.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
I know what has been through the ups and downs,
that probations, the vacated wins. I know what Reggie Bush
meant to not only the program.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
But the institution itself.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
And it broke my heart when Reggie Bush had his
Heisman Trophy stripped why because it was a part of
the most recent scandal with USC of im promissible what
was then impermissible benefits that his family was receiving from
a third party. They stripped Bush of his Heisman trophy,
(11:01):
removed his name from the Heisman winner Roles, did not
allow him to come to the ceremony. He was not
allowed on campus the USC for anything. He was persona
non gradi. It was almost like he never existed at
the university. USC lost one of its national championships. As
far as the record of it, they had a season
(11:22):
worth of wins which were vacated. They were limited a
number of scholarships for the football team for a number
of years that they were put on probation. It was
devastating what happened to USC. But if you put it
in the context of what is happening right now in
college sports with nil name, image and likeness, where players
(11:47):
now can negotiate their own deals with different companies and
ad agencies what have you, and they're getting paid literally
millions of dollars for use of their name, image, and likeness.
And Reggie Bush, to make a long story short, is
suing the university saying hey, not only did you penalize
(12:08):
me for trying to get just a little bit of money,
you USC marketed my name, my image, my likeness.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
You made millions of dollars.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
And the lawsuit points to unrecouped nil benefits involving revenue
streams such as TV contracts, merchandise sales, and media rights,
which Reggie Bush's people say are linked to his time
and prominence at the university. And it also alleges that
a school conference as Impact twelve and the NC TWOA
(12:45):
took financial benefits from Bush's reputation without monetary acknowledgment. Well,
that's basically a fact because none of the players were
allowed to get any type of revenue then and when
you were in the early two thousands, when the US
was at his peak, and Reggie Bush was on campus
as an athlete.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
His number.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Now you may not know this, but USC players they
don't have the name on the back of the jersey,
but you know the player's number. And Reggie Bush, his
five number, was being sold in stores everywhere, and it
was making millions and millions of dollars for the university.
(13:25):
And Reggie Bush is basically saying, wait a minute, Wait
a minute, how is it that you were able to you,
you USC were able to make all this money, these
millions of dollars, and me I got sanctioned. I lost
my Heisman Trophy for the pittance of money that my
family received as far as this house somewhere some impermissible,
impermissible benefits back then. But now since everything is legal
(13:49):
with NIL, shouldn't I be do some sort of compensation?
And this is not an exact analogy, but he's basically saying,
wait a minute, upon a time, marijuana was illegal, but
it's legal now. Shouldn't I be able to reap the
benefits now because it is legal. You've made all this
(14:11):
money and you've penalized me. You use my name, you
use my image, you use my likeness, and you've promoted USC.
You got a national championship, you went to Rose Bowls,
and you were making more than fifteen million dollars just
for that appearance. And I'm Reggie Bush got absolutely none
of that. But you didn't give back any of that money.
(14:32):
And now that I've been reinstated as a person who's
acknowledged by USC, I'm basically paraphrasing, but this is the
argument which has been had for years now, decades, now
that I've been reinstated, now that the NC TWOA has
given me back my Heisman trophy, in part because they
acknowledge the duplicitous nature of trying to sanction me or
(14:55):
keep my Heisman Trophy away from me while at the
same time paying place like Caleb Williams for his name,
image and likeness. Well, he started USC. You can't have
it both ways, USC. That's what Reggie Bush is saying
with this lawsuit. You can't have it both ways. You
can't profit from me when I'm not allowed to profit
(15:17):
off my own name, image, and likeness. And now that
you're profiting off of other student athletes name, image, and likeness,
well I should be be able to get a piece
of that too, because I helped build what is now
the greatness of the USC football program. USC has no
comment at this point, but Reggie Bush, I don't know
(15:38):
how it's going to turn out, but he has an argument.
He has an argument for all the years that players
did not get paid or any type of compensation, and
I don't want to hear the bs about well, they
were given a college education and that's worth more than
anything in the world. Hold on now if that were true,
(16:00):
and USC should give back some of the money, because
Reggie Bush more than earned his college education. He made
the university, the institution, the program, the football conference, if
you put it all together, as far as broadcast rights,
university fees, and also Rose Bowl appearance fees, Bowl fees,
(16:24):
hundreds of millions of dollars, of which Reggie Bush saw
none of it. And there's an argument and a question
to be answered as far as damage to his reputation,
since all is supposedly forgiven, since name, image, and likeness
is fair game. Now, since all of these players in
college football are making millions of dollars and they're making
(16:47):
millions more than what Reggie Bush made, Reggie Bush is saying, hey,
you didn't make it right then, why don't you make
it right now? And if you thought that, Reggie Bush
found that it was just water under the bridge because
of how he was treated by the conference, the PAC twelve,
how he was treated by the University USC, how he
(17:10):
was treated by the NC two A, how they dragged
his name through the mud for years, couldn't go on campus,
couldn't be seen on the USC sidelines, couldn't in any
way associate with the program, and now that they've reinstated
all that, Reggie Bush is saying, no, you're going to
have to do more than that, and it's going to
(17:31):
have to come out of your pocket. It's later with
mo Kelly k if I AM six forty. We are
live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Let's keep it in
college academia. When we come back, we'll talk about the
top public universities in the United States according to the
US News and World Report. And I wonder if any
(17:51):
of your favorite Southern California universities are on that list,
Probably because we're talking about it.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
US News and World Report has recently come out with
its annual list of the best colleges in the United
States for twenty twenty five and as far as the
top public colleges in the US according to US News
and World Report, let's start with number eleven, the honorable
(18:23):
mention and yes it is actually you see Irvine coming
in at number eleven as the top public college in
the United States and tuition and fees forty six thousand
(18:44):
dollars a year that's expensive, at least for out of
state fourteen thousand in state. Coming in at number ten,
you see Davis and it's it's only fifteen thousand dollars
in state tuition. But if you're coming from out of
state forty seven thousand, six hundred, I feel like Mark
(19:10):
Ronerd right about now, you wish coming in at number
nine Georgia Tech cost you thirty four, four hundred and
eighty four dollars if you're come in from out of state,
twelve thousand dollars in state and you have to stay
in Georgia while you matriculate. Yeah, see that's the problem.
(19:33):
You know, they make it real inexpensive because they want
to keep you in the state. Now, coming in at
number eight University of Texas Austin, and it's about the
same forty two thousand dollars out of state, eleven thousand,
(19:54):
six hundred in state. So if you're in Texas, University
of Texas Austin is definitely an option for you.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Coming in at number seven.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
University of Florida the Gators twenty eight thousand out of state,
six thousand dollars in state. That's not free, but that's
damn economical.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Well, they got to do something to make up for
the fact that you can't ensure your house in Florida.
There's not life's nothing but trade offs. Okay, yeah, yes,
you have to give something to get something. Wait, so then,
who's the mascot for Florida State Seminoles?
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Okay, Florida Gators. Florida State Seminoles only because I know sports.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Coming in at number six, you see San Diego. That's
one of the schools actually applied to and got in.
That's my backup school. Fifty one thousand dollars out of state.
But it's a nice campus, it really is. It's a
party school. It's one of those schools where if you
got to go to college, yes, sixty eight hundred dollars
(21:04):
in state tuition and fees. Coming in at number five,
North Carolina Chapel Hill forty one grand if you're from
out of state, nine thousand in state. Yeah, pretty economical.
(21:27):
Coming in number four, we call it UVA University of
Virginia sixty.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Thousand, nine hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
If you're trying to go to UVA from out of state,
twenty three thousand in state. That is not affordable at all.
It's a beautiful campus, it's a great school. It's just
an expensive af. Number three, the school to just beat
(22:05):
usc and football on Saturday. University of Michigan and Arbor
the Michigan Wolverines. Another inexpensive school. Eighteen eight hundred and
forty eight dollars tuition and fees if you live in
the state of Michigan. If you're out of the state,
sixty three thousand dollars. Wowser for a public university. Yeah,
(22:25):
and coming in at number two. You see Berkeley sixteen thousand,
eight hundred dollars for in state tuition and fees if
you're out of state. When I say only relatives to
some of the other schools on the list, only fifty
(22:45):
one thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Is that all?
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Well?
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Relative to University of Michigan and Arbor, which is sixty.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Three for Berkeley, that's pretty shocking. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Yeah, And coming in at number one, the top public
university in the United States according to the US News
and World Report, and for the eighth year in a row,
the eighth year in a row, And I didn't even
know this until I saw this story.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
The eighth year in a row.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
UCLA the top public university in all these United States
according to the US News and World Report fourteen two
hundred and eight dollars, if you should be from California
and you want to go to UCLA tuition and fees
if you're out of state, forty six thousand dollars. Relatively speaking,
that is a deal. When you compare it to University
(23:47):
of Michigan or University of Virginia, you.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
Wouldn't even know that's missing mo you personally, what do
you mean forty seven grand is nothing to you?
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Stephan?
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Who does he think I am? What does he think
I'm getting this money from. I'm just frugal. I don't
spend a lot of money. Okay, it doesn't mean I
make a lot of money. I think that's couch cushion
money for you.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
No no, no, no no. Maybe maybe in another life,
but not this life. No, no, no. I am very very economically.
Thinks you're one of the shark sharks and shark take look.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
I'm flattered that he believes that, even if he's only
saying it tongue in cheek.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
But the truth is, I just don't spend money. You know.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
If I spend money, it's on things that I just
like in the moment because I'm not. I don't collect anything.
Like I don't buy a lot of clothes. Buying a
suit is a special occasion, and I like wearing suits,
but I don't buy a lot of them. I don't
buy shoes. I definitely don't spend money on new cars.
I buy a new car every fifteen to twenty years.
(24:47):
So that's seven eight hundred dollars of a car payment
that I don't pay each month. I save that, and
then I have like eight thousand dollars for a vacation.
You know, I'm just living within my means. It's nothing special,
that's all, of course. Yes, of course, if you say so.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
What the look, I tell you what.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
I have an old Honda and you know this, Well,
there's something we have in common.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
How about that?
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Yes, I'm not rolling in it. Please, this is KFI.
They don't pay like that.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Oh I know.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
I've gotten a taste of that sweet host money lately. Okay,
then you should know firsthand. Well, if I did it
five days a week, that'd be another story.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
In Yeah, so you get five times a pittance, which
equals what.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
A pittance?
Speaker 5 (25:37):
I gotta be careful what I say here because I'd
kind of like to do it again.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Oh yeah, you will, you will.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
But you're what you're saying, though, is if if you
go back to college for any.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Reason, it's going to be community college. Well if here's
the serious point.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
If I were to go back to college, I wouldn't
because financially it would not be worth it at this
point in time, unless I was trying to go into
a whole different because an advanced degree doesn't do anything
for me professionally.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
Not just the love of learning, No, no, you hate learning, admitted.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
No.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Ego wise, I wanted to get my PhD back in
the day.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
I absolutely wanted that. You wanted to force people to
call you doctor lug damn right.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Uh huh, yes, but we don't say doctor for PhD.
You're gonna say it to me? Oh no, they aren't it. No,
I don't have a problem with that. So yeah, and
then I realized, Okay, it's way too much school and
I'm not ever going to be making any money ever. Ever,
the best the best I can do is probably teach
on a collegiate level.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
I could publish, you know.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
But it's I could be an academic now in today's world.
You can parlay that into becoming like a personality. And
you see a lot of professors they're doing a lot
of media and they've made money that way. But as
far as just having your PhD, no big deal financially.
So there's no reason for me to go back to
school to get it an advanced degree for the purpose
(27:02):
of forty my career. Now, if I were working somewhere
hit and they paid for it, yeah I do it.
Oh totally, Yeah, if they paid for it, But me
just because I can put it on a resume. Now,
I think though that you'd feel a lot more secure
personally if you had an next to you, a set
of initials no behind your name, I would you know,
I would like the master's PhD, you know, some honorary degrees,
(27:27):
just so I can walk around and you know it.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
Lorded over people is the word you're looking for, And
that's more like shoving in their faces.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Okay, okay, it's important to be clear. Yes it is.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Later with Mokelly, can't f I am six forty we're
live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and speaking of doctors,
but medical doctors impacts, it's on the rise.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Here.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Here's what you should know. It's dangerous. We'll tell you
about it next.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on Demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Impos is a very serious thing and it's an issue
here in La County that La County Department of Public
Health wants you to know, Stephan, you specifically, I need
you to pay very close attention. Okay, Well, Monday, as
in yesterday, Eli County Department of Public Health announced that
fifty two cases of IMPOCS had been reported in the
(28:18):
county over the last four weeks. That's more than twice
a number of cases over the previous four week period.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Okay, that's a trend.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Of those new cases, about seventy percent of them affected
people who were not vaccinated for IMPOCS. And the vaccine
is strongly recommended for men. This is very important men
or transgender individuals who have sex with men or other
transgender individuals, as well as anyone involved in commercial or
transactional sex.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
But here is most important.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
It can also be transmitted because I know people say like, well,
I'm not transgender, I'm not a man having sex with man.
I don't have to worry about that at all. Well,
let me scare you a little bit. It can also
be transmitted through respiratory droplets from kissing, coughing, and sneezing.
It is airborne and as you heard in the song,
the really inappropriate song that Stefan decided to play without
(29:12):
my permission or my advisement. Symptoms range from fever, chills, headache,
and muscle ache to swelling of lymph nodes and unusual
blister like sores on the face, body, and genitals. Anyone
with these symptoms is urged to contact a healthcare provider
(29:33):
for testing, and Public Health has released the following tips
to reduce the risk of spreading impacts. Ask partners if
they have IMPOC symptoms or feel sick, and avoid intimate
contact if there's a new or unexplained rash or illness
until consulting a healthcare provider, and of course, limit the
(29:53):
number of partners, especially those with unknown sexual history.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Let's be honest, do you really know some one sexual history? Never?
Speaker 5 (30:02):
Oh you know?
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Is what they tell you.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Yes, and everyone's going to put forth the best face
on that they're going to send out their publicists.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
So how many partners have you had in the last year?
Have you ever been with a monkey?
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Oh my gosh, trying to have a serious public health.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
So you want to know these things, by the way,
by the way, by the way, mo, Yes, why why
did they change it from monkey pox to MPOs? Were
monkeys complaining? Did they feel insulted? No, there was a
story on this.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
I don't remember the actual reason, but if we look
it up, it had something to do with twalla.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Do you remember.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
I remember there's something about monkey pocks being politically incorrect.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
There's a variation and they had to change it. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
Yeah, it was being considered a slurb because large in part,
this was a virus that was spreading primarily amongst the LGBTQ,
primarily gay community, and by calling it monkey pops, of course,
as you could imagine, that's like, what the hell are
you doing? Like like, we don't need you just naming
(31:08):
a disease so uh so derogatorily and then also connecting
it to our community.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Hell no, So.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
There's something inherently offensive about monkeys. Can be okay, can
and Mark I can tell you this.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
And because you are half black, as being someone who
is full black, any connection, any connection to people and
monkeys is not cool.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
When there. I hear that. Hear that I'm saying like.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
Like, so, then when you also say I want to say, well, yeah,
this this is something that is spread amongst the gay
and or transgender community and let's throw monkey on top,
that's like no.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
And also you have to include the history of HIV
and how that stigma, what that did to the lgbt
Q community.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
And the origins of where they said came from. Unfortunately,
and this was wildly inappropriate. But originally the first rumors
I remember hearing about it was that it is because
they had sex with a monkey. Yeah, and it's like,
what do you That's how stupid people were.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
And that was before social media. Yeah, so I understand why.
I just don't remember all the particulars, but that's probably
pretty much close to it. That's not the hill I
want to die on. No, I hope not. I hope not.
K IF I am six forty We are live everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 5 (32:38):
Indifferent f I K O S T A HD two
Los Angeles County
Speaker 2 (32:46):
Live everywhere on the radio
KFIM six forty is later with Mo Kelly. We're live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. And I hate to start
off the show which I told you so, but we
pretty much told you so. Last night we were talking
about how Cassie Ventura's lawsuit opened the door for everything
which you are seeing right now with respect to Sean P.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Diddy Combs.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
And because of that lawsuit, there were another nine which
were filed in the days after that, and then you
had the criminal charges filed by Homeland Security. And now
today you have another lawsuit in which a woman is
suing Sean Diddy homes and also his head security person,
Joseph Sherman, Bad Boy Entertainment, and various companies and attributed
(01:08):
to Combs for alleged sexual assault and emotional distress, alleging
Combs and Sherman quote unquote mercilessly raping her and other
I can't get too specific, but it's very graphic. What
I'm saying is because of those previous lawsuits, and I
said how those lawsuits were sharing information and testimony with
(01:32):
the DOJ, Homeland Security, federal authorities, you would have more
accessibility to evidence. They were going to be sharing witness testimony,
and you could have people who would be coming forward
and offering evidence which could further implicate Sean Combs.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
And you're seeing that right now. Although this is.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
A civil suit, I'm quite sure this victim, alleged victim
is going to be talking with federal authorities as well
and see if there are any criminal implications. Because of
Cassie Ventura, because she was brave enough to step forward,
you will see more and more people coming forward. Now
(02:14):
to a person who doesn't really understand how these things work,
then they say, oh, they're just piling on, oh this
trust trying to get paid.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
No, they're going to have to back up what they're saying.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
It's not like they're just going to make these allegations
and then that's that and they'll get paid. No, they
will have to go through the same type of scrutiny
as everyone else. The only point that I'm trying to
make is since they're also criminal charges pending, you will
see a back and forth and flow of evidence and
testimony shared information between the criminal allegations, that indictment, and
(02:50):
also these civil lawsuits. We tried to tell you that
this is going to be the reckoning for the music
industry and in my other worlds, I said that Sean
dit Combs is arguably, and I would say almost definitely
at this point, the most consequential member of the Me
Too movement. Here's why Jeffrey Epstein is not really connected
(03:12):
and was not connected to the Me Too movement. Those
are also criminal investigations had been going on separate and distinct.
Now you can say Bill Cosby, but it wasn't the
type of criminology criminality which was alleged share even with
r Kelly, not the same depth of alleged depravity that
we're talking about on this level. And given I will
(03:34):
say the monetary access and success, the supposed billionaire status
of Sean Didcombs, he is at least at this moment,
the most consequential result of the Me Too movement women
coming forward telling their stories, and then also Sean did
Coombs being held to account. What you saw today, and
(03:57):
I know that CAFI News has been talking about it
in the news that you're going to see more of.
I'd be willing to bet that there will be other
women and possibly men who will be coming forward. And yes,
the larger public and the civil court system will judge
them on their merits. Some will be taken seriously, some
will not be taken seriously. But what you're seeing is
(04:20):
and Twalla and I had talked about this, the difference
between Sean Ditty Combs and I will say other people
caught up in the B two movement other people. There
was a feeling that people were going to be afraid
of losing their place, losing their job, losing their career,
but there wasn't the threat of physical violence as it's
(04:41):
understood with p Diddy Combs. The people are coming forward
now are saying that they were afraid for their own lives,
not just their livelihood, but their lives. They were concerned
about whether they were going to be in physical danger
by coming forward and speaking. And because someone did come
forward looking at the video right now on NBC four,
(05:02):
because this woman casting ventor did come forward, it gave
not only other people cover but also protection to tell
their stories as well. And with Diddy going to jail
at least in the short term, being remanded, not being
able to tamper with witnesses or or threaten witnesses, it
(05:25):
allowed other people some cover and some confidence to come
forward and tell their stories that's the main difference. And
we told people all the time the threats were real,
the concern about violence was real. I know to while
I can't speak for you, I know I've had my
life threatened in the music business at least twice that
(05:46):
I can think of.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
I've had my life threatened several times where guns were
pulled out, and even at one point in time the
radio station I worked at, we as the station were
threatened and told we cannot go out and do street
promote motions anymore for threat that our very street team
will be shot up if we did not pay due
to this one specific gang. It's interesting more, for the
(06:10):
longest time, you had posed this following question that one
day ago the New York Times has finally asked. The
headline reads, Sean Combe's arrest has the music world asking
is our me too?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Here? But we were talking about that months ago.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
I saw this as I said to myself, we need
to see say that again.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Yes, because anyone who's listening to Later with Mo Kelly
knows that we have not only asked that question, but
answered that specific question on a number of occasions.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Say it again, please, to Wala from The New York times,
Sean Combe's arrest has our music world asking is our
music is our me too?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Here, well, I think we've already answered that question.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
We said, not only was there a separation between the
original me too movement, which had largely to do with
television and movie slash film, the music industry was pretty
much skipped over. And we said, we had people guests
come in and talk all about their stories about oh
my goodness, there's so much which was going on in
the music industry. Maybe it didn't receive the same type
(07:23):
of press because the names, by and large were not
as well known, with the exception of someone the high
prifile profile nature of a Sean Ditty Combs or an R. Kelly,
you know, someone has to be on a certain level
for the general public to know. But we always knew
it was right there. It was always there.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
We talked about it when the me Too movement first
came around. We did not scoff at the idea, but
we looked at some of the stories that were coming
out and we said, even then, since two three years ago,
we said, this is Tuesday in the music industry. All
the stuff you see in these music videos and these
(08:06):
and here on these rap records where they're talking all
this graphic, crude language towards women. This is not just lyricism.
A lot of this comes from real life experiences that
you and I have seen that you and I have
called out and it was just a wonder. We said,
then when is it going to hit and who's going
(08:26):
to be the first domino to fall?
Speaker 1 (08:28):
We said, at least in terms of Diddy, there would
be more people coming forward in the past week. I
know that we've said exactly that, and we see that
today with the press conference with Gloria Allread. This woman
has sued Sean ditty Comb's alleging violent forcible rape. Statute
(08:49):
of limitations prevents a criminal prosecution. But I am sure,
as I said before, that she will be offering testimony
to federal authority, which because she also alleges that it
was recorded, and so remember Diddy's house has been rated,
if that video should also be part of what was
(09:11):
rated from his house. Look, I'm not a lawyer. I'm
just saying the implications as far as pornography and the
use of wire. Look, there could be other criminal charges
pending which don't have to do specifically with rape, where
the statue of limitations has expired. This is going to
(09:34):
get a lot worse before it gets better. And if
you didn't believe me last time, please believe me this time.
There will be more people who will come forward. It's
Later with mo Kelly. We want to talk about USC
getting sued by Reggie Bush. I thought he was just
inducted back into the fold of USC and now he's
turning around and suing the university.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Yes he is. Will tell you why in just a moment.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
If you know, I'm a huge USC Trojans football fan.
The team losing last Saturday against Michigan broke my heart.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
They should have won that game.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I say that only because I followed the program for
the better part of forty years, going back to the
days of John Robinson when he was head coach.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
So I know the USC program.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
I know what has been through the ups and downs,
that probations, the vacated wins. I know what Reggie Bush
meant to not only the program.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
But the institution itself.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
And it broke my heart when Reggie Bush had his
Heisman Trophy stripped why because it was a part of
the most recent scandal with USC of im promissible what
was then impermissible benefits that his family was receiving from
a third party. They stripped Bush of his Heisman trophy,
(11:01):
removed his name from the Heisman winner Roles, did not
allow him to come to the ceremony. He was not
allowed on campus the USC for anything. He was persona
non gradi. It was almost like he never existed at
the university. USC lost one of its national championships. As
far as the record of it, they had a season
(11:22):
worth of wins which were vacated. They were limited a
number of scholarships for the football team for a number
of years that they were put on probation. It was
devastating what happened to USC. But if you put it
in the context of what is happening right now in
college sports with nil name, image and likeness, where players
(11:47):
now can negotiate their own deals with different companies and
ad agencies what have you, and they're getting paid literally
millions of dollars for use of their name, image, and likeness.
And Reggie Bush, to make a long story short, is
suing the university saying hey, not only did you penalize
(12:08):
me for trying to get just a little bit of money,
you USC marketed my name, my image, my likeness.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
You made millions of dollars.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
And the lawsuit points to unrecouped nil benefits involving revenue
streams such as TV contracts, merchandise sales, and media rights,
which Reggie Bush's people say are linked to his time
and prominence at the university. And it also alleges that
a school conference as Impact twelve and the NC TWOA
(12:45):
took financial benefits from Bush's reputation without monetary acknowledgment. Well,
that's basically a fact because none of the players were
allowed to get any type of revenue then and when
you were in the early two thousands, when the US
was at his peak, and Reggie Bush was on campus
as an athlete.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
His number.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Now you may not know this, but USC players they
don't have the name on the back of the jersey,
but you know the player's number. And Reggie Bush, his
five number, was being sold in stores everywhere, and it
was making millions and millions of dollars for the university.
(13:25):
And Reggie Bush is basically saying, wait a minute, Wait
a minute, how is it that you were able to you,
you USC were able to make all this money, these
millions of dollars, and me I got sanctioned. I lost
my Heisman Trophy for the pittance of money that my
family received as far as this house somewhere some impermissible,
impermissible benefits back then. But now since everything is legal
(13:49):
with NIL, shouldn't I be do some sort of compensation?
And this is not an exact analogy, but he's basically saying,
wait a minute, upon a time, marijuana was illegal, but
it's legal now. Shouldn't I be able to reap the
benefits now because it is legal. You've made all this
(14:11):
money and you've penalized me. You use my name, you
use my image, you use my likeness, and you've promoted USC.
You got a national championship, you went to Rose Bowls,
and you were making more than fifteen million dollars just
for that appearance. And I'm Reggie Bush got absolutely none
of that. But you didn't give back any of that money.
(14:32):
And now that I've been reinstated as a person who's
acknowledged by USC, I'm basically paraphrasing, but this is the
argument which has been had for years now, decades, now
that I've been reinstated, now that the NC TWOA has
given me back my Heisman trophy, in part because they
acknowledge the duplicitous nature of trying to sanction me or
(14:55):
keep my Heisman Trophy away from me while at the
same time paying place like Caleb Williams for his name,
image and likeness. Well, he started USC. You can't have
it both ways, USC. That's what Reggie Bush is saying
with this lawsuit. You can't have it both ways. You
can't profit from me when I'm not allowed to profit
(15:17):
off my own name, image, and likeness. And now that
you're profiting off of other student athletes name, image, and likeness,
well I should be be able to get a piece
of that too, because I helped build what is now
the greatness of the USC football program. USC has no
comment at this point, but Reggie Bush, I don't know
(15:38):
how it's going to turn out, but he has an argument.
He has an argument for all the years that players
did not get paid or any type of compensation, and
I don't want to hear the bs about well, they
were given a college education and that's worth more than
anything in the world. Hold on now if that were true,
(16:00):
and USC should give back some of the money, because
Reggie Bush more than earned his college education. He made
the university, the institution, the program, the football conference, if
you put it all together, as far as broadcast rights,
university fees, and also Rose Bowl appearance fees, Bowl fees,
(16:24):
hundreds of millions of dollars, of which Reggie Bush saw
none of it. And there's an argument and a question
to be answered as far as damage to his reputation,
since all is supposedly forgiven, since name, image, and likeness
is fair game. Now, since all of these players in
college football are making millions of dollars and they're making
(16:47):
millions more than what Reggie Bush made, Reggie Bush is saying, hey,
you didn't make it right then, why don't you make
it right now? And if you thought that, Reggie Bush
found that it was just water under the bridge because
of how he was treated by the conference, the PAC twelve,
how he was treated by the University USC, how he
(17:10):
was treated by the NC two A, how they dragged
his name through the mud for years, couldn't go on campus,
couldn't be seen on the USC sidelines, couldn't in any
way associate with the program, and now that they've reinstated
all that, Reggie Bush is saying, no, you're going to
have to do more than that, and it's going to
(17:31):
have to come out of your pocket. It's later with
mo Kelly k if I AM six forty. We are
live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Let's keep it in
college academia. When we come back, we'll talk about the
top public universities in the United States according to the
US News and World Report. And I wonder if any
(17:51):
of your favorite Southern California universities are on that list,
Probably because we're talking about it.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
US News and World Report has recently come out with
its annual list of the best colleges in the United
States for twenty twenty five and as far as the
top public colleges in the US according to US News
and World Report, let's start with number eleven, the honorable
(18:23):
mention and yes it is actually you see Irvine coming
in at number eleven as the top public college in
the United States and tuition and fees forty six thousand
(18:44):
dollars a year that's expensive, at least for out of
state fourteen thousand in state. Coming in at number ten,
you see Davis and it's it's only fifteen thousand dollars
in state tuition. But if you're coming from out of
state forty seven thousand, six hundred, I feel like Mark
(19:10):
Ronerd right about now, you wish coming in at number
nine Georgia Tech cost you thirty four, four hundred and
eighty four dollars if you're come in from out of state,
twelve thousand dollars in state and you have to stay
in Georgia while you matriculate. Yeah, see that's the problem.
(19:33):
You know, they make it real inexpensive because they want
to keep you in the state. Now, coming in at
number eight University of Texas Austin, and it's about the
same forty two thousand dollars out of state, eleven thousand,
(19:54):
six hundred in state. So if you're in Texas, University
of Texas Austin is definitely an option for you.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Coming in at number seven.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
University of Florida the Gators twenty eight thousand out of state,
six thousand dollars in state. That's not free, but that's
damn economical.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Well, they got to do something to make up for
the fact that you can't ensure your house in Florida.
There's not life's nothing but trade offs. Okay, yeah, yes,
you have to give something to get something. Wait, so then,
who's the mascot for Florida State Seminoles?
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Okay, Florida Gators. Florida State Seminoles only because I know sports.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Coming in at number six, you see San Diego. That's
one of the schools actually applied to and got in.
That's my backup school. Fifty one thousand dollars out of state.
But it's a nice campus, it really is. It's a
party school. It's one of those schools where if you
got to go to college, yes, sixty eight hundred dollars
(21:04):
in state tuition and fees. Coming in at number five,
North Carolina Chapel Hill forty one grand if you're from
out of state, nine thousand in state. Yeah, pretty economical.
(21:27):
Coming in number four, we call it UVA University of
Virginia sixty.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Thousand, nine hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
If you're trying to go to UVA from out of state,
twenty three thousand in state. That is not affordable at all.
It's a beautiful campus, it's a great school. It's just
an expensive af. Number three, the school to just beat
(22:05):
usc and football on Saturday. University of Michigan and Arbor
the Michigan Wolverines. Another inexpensive school. Eighteen eight hundred and
forty eight dollars tuition and fees if you live in
the state of Michigan. If you're out of the state,
sixty three thousand dollars. Wowser for a public university. Yeah,
(22:25):
and coming in at number two. You see Berkeley sixteen thousand,
eight hundred dollars for in state tuition and fees if
you're out of state. When I say only relatives to
some of the other schools on the list, only fifty
(22:45):
one thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Is that all?
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Well?
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Relative to University of Michigan and Arbor, which is sixty.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Three for Berkeley, that's pretty shocking. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Yeah, And coming in at number one, the top public
university in the United States according to the US News
and World Report, and for the eighth year in a row,
the eighth year in a row, And I didn't even
know this until I saw this story.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
The eighth year in a row.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
UCLA the top public university in all these United States
according to the US News and World Report fourteen two
hundred and eight dollars, if you should be from California
and you want to go to UCLA tuition and fees
if you're out of state, forty six thousand dollars. Relatively speaking,
that is a deal. When you compare it to University
(23:47):
of Michigan or University of Virginia, you.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
Wouldn't even know that's missing mo you personally, what do
you mean forty seven grand is nothing to you?
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Stephan?
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Who does he think I am? What does he think
I'm getting this money from. I'm just frugal. I don't
spend a lot of money. Okay, it doesn't mean I
make a lot of money. I think that's couch cushion
money for you.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
No no, no, no no. Maybe maybe in another life,
but not this life. No, no, no. I am very very economically.
Thinks you're one of the shark sharks and shark take look.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
I'm flattered that he believes that, even if he's only
saying it tongue in cheek.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
But the truth is, I just don't spend money. You know.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
If I spend money, it's on things that I just
like in the moment because I'm not. I don't collect anything.
Like I don't buy a lot of clothes. Buying a
suit is a special occasion, and I like wearing suits,
but I don't buy a lot of them. I don't
buy shoes. I definitely don't spend money on new cars.
I buy a new car every fifteen to twenty years.
(24:47):
So that's seven eight hundred dollars of a car payment
that I don't pay each month. I save that, and
then I have like eight thousand dollars for a vacation.
You know, I'm just living within my means. It's nothing special,
that's all, of course. Yes, of course, if you say so.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
What the look, I tell you what.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
I have an old Honda and you know this, Well,
there's something we have in common.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
How about that?
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Yes, I'm not rolling in it. Please, this is KFI.
They don't pay like that.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Oh I know.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
I've gotten a taste of that sweet host money lately. Okay,
then you should know firsthand. Well, if I did it
five days a week, that'd be another story.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
In Yeah, so you get five times a pittance, which
equals what.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
A pittance?
Speaker 5 (25:37):
I gotta be careful what I say here because I'd
kind of like to do it again.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Oh yeah, you will, you will.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
But you're what you're saying, though, is if if you
go back to college for any.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Reason, it's going to be community college. Well if here's
the serious point.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
If I were to go back to college, I wouldn't
because financially it would not be worth it at this
point in time, unless I was trying to go into
a whole different because an advanced degree doesn't do anything
for me professionally.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
Not just the love of learning, No, no, you hate learning, admitted.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
No.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Ego wise, I wanted to get my PhD back in
the day.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
I absolutely wanted that. You wanted to force people to
call you doctor lug damn right.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Uh huh, yes, but we don't say doctor for PhD.
You're gonna say it to me? Oh no, they aren't it. No,
I don't have a problem with that. So yeah, and
then I realized, Okay, it's way too much school and
I'm not ever going to be making any money ever. Ever,
the best the best I can do is probably teach
on a collegiate level.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
I could publish, you know.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
But it's I could be an academic now in today's world.
You can parlay that into becoming like a personality. And
you see a lot of professors they're doing a lot
of media and they've made money that way. But as
far as just having your PhD, no big deal financially.
So there's no reason for me to go back to
school to get it an advanced degree for the purpose
(27:02):
of forty my career. Now, if I were working somewhere
hit and they paid for it, yeah I do it.
Oh totally, Yeah, if they paid for it, But me
just because I can put it on a resume. Now,
I think though that you'd feel a lot more secure
personally if you had an next to you, a set
of initials no behind your name, I would you know,
I would like the master's PhD, you know, some honorary degrees,
(27:27):
just so I can walk around and you know it.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
Lorded over people is the word you're looking for, And
that's more like shoving in their faces.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Okay, okay, it's important to be clear. Yes it is.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Later with Mokelly, can't f I am six forty we're
live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and speaking of doctors,
but medical doctors impacts, it's on the rise.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Here.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Here's what you should know. It's dangerous. We'll tell you
about it next.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on Demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Impos is a very serious thing and it's an issue
here in La County that La County Department of Public
Health wants you to know, Stephan, you specifically, I need
you to pay very close attention. Okay, Well, Monday, as
in yesterday, Eli County Department of Public Health announced that
fifty two cases of IMPOCS had been reported in the
(28:18):
county over the last four weeks. That's more than twice
a number of cases over the previous four week period.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Okay, that's a trend.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Of those new cases, about seventy percent of them affected
people who were not vaccinated for IMPOCS. And the vaccine
is strongly recommended for men. This is very important men
or transgender individuals who have sex with men or other
transgender individuals, as well as anyone involved in commercial or
transactional sex.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
But here is most important.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
It can also be transmitted because I know people say like, well,
I'm not transgender, I'm not a man having sex with man.
I don't have to worry about that at all. Well,
let me scare you a little bit. It can also
be transmitted through respiratory droplets from kissing, coughing, and sneezing.
It is airborne and as you heard in the song,
the really inappropriate song that Stefan decided to play without
(29:12):
my permission or my advisement. Symptoms range from fever, chills, headache,
and muscle ache to swelling of lymph nodes and unusual
blister like sores on the face, body, and genitals. Anyone
with these symptoms is urged to contact a healthcare provider
(29:33):
for testing, and Public Health has released the following tips
to reduce the risk of spreading impacts. Ask partners if
they have IMPOC symptoms or feel sick, and avoid intimate
contact if there's a new or unexplained rash or illness
until consulting a healthcare provider, and of course, limit the
(29:53):
number of partners, especially those with unknown sexual history.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Let's be honest, do you really know some one sexual history? Never?
Speaker 5 (30:02):
Oh you know?
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Is what they tell you.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Yes, and everyone's going to put forth the best face
on that they're going to send out their publicists.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
So how many partners have you had in the last year?
Have you ever been with a monkey?
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Oh my gosh, trying to have a serious public health.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
So you want to know these things, by the way,
by the way, by the way, mo, Yes, why why
did they change it from monkey pox to MPOs? Were
monkeys complaining? Did they feel insulted? No, there was a
story on this.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
I don't remember the actual reason, but if we look
it up, it had something to do with twalla.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Do you remember.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
I remember there's something about monkey pocks being politically incorrect.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
There's a variation and they had to change it. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
Yeah, it was being considered a slurb because large in part,
this was a virus that was spreading primarily amongst the LGBTQ,
primarily gay community, and by calling it monkey pops, of course,
as you could imagine, that's like, what the hell are
you doing? Like like, we don't need you just naming
(31:08):
a disease so uh so derogatorily and then also connecting
it to our community.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Hell no, So.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
There's something inherently offensive about monkeys. Can be okay, can
and Mark I can tell you this.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
And because you are half black, as being someone who
is full black, any connection, any connection to people and
monkeys is not cool.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
When there. I hear that. Hear that I'm saying like.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
Like, so, then when you also say I want to say, well, yeah,
this this is something that is spread amongst the gay
and or transgender community and let's throw monkey on top,
that's like no.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
And also you have to include the history of HIV
and how that stigma, what that did to the lgbt
Q community.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
And the origins of where they said came from. Unfortunately,
and this was wildly inappropriate. But originally the first rumors
I remember hearing about it was that it is because
they had sex with a monkey. Yeah, and it's like,
what do you That's how stupid people were.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
And that was before social media. Yeah, so I understand why.
I just don't remember all the particulars, but that's probably
pretty much close to it. That's not the hill I
want to die on. No, I hope not. I hope not.
