Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Forty Yes Later with mo Kelly. We are live everywhere
in the iHeartRadio app. And I was listening to Mark
Roner one of the few times I was actually listening.
Oh no, no, it's different because I was listening to
you talking about the best horror movies of all time,
and I was thinking, like, these aren't horror movies.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
No, no, you and I really went to town on
Variety last week they published their top one hundred. This
week it's Rotten Tomatoes with two hundred. Yes, I'm not
sure I have the fortitude to get through that one.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I was sent that list by Aaron in the newsroom.
She was nice enough to send it to us, and
I was explaining to her, Hey, if you ever listened
to us, you would you know, you would see we
talked about horror movies. No bless her horr. I'm just
giving our hard time. But I guess it's vogue to
come out with these lists knowing that all of us
will debate them, but at least be in the realm
(00:53):
of horror. You're given us thrillers, you're giving us monster movies.
You've given us, you know, find movies, I FI, yeah,
hit everything, but an actual bonified horror movie.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
It's very frustrating if you know and love horror movies
to see these trash lists.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
But that's what they want. It's nothing but clickbait. No,
it is clickbait, and they want us to discuss it
on KF I am six forty number one news saux
station in America, and iheartrate. I get all that. I'm
not a fool, but at least you can have a
genuine attempt at putting a credible list together. When you
have Grimlins at number forty two, you're not being serious
(01:35):
and you deserve ridicule. Aaron said that the Rod Tomatoes
list had Jaws at number one. Yeah, that's what Mark
was saying during the newsbreak. I know, honestly, I don't
listen to him ever either, but he I just happen
to be listening at that moment. We'll go for you, Mark. Yeah,
that's that's a little uncalled for it. But I'm just
gonna keep moving forward here. I'm not gonna You're not
bringing me down on a Monday. But can we agree
(01:57):
Jaws is not a horror movie? Absolutely not it's a
horror movie. No, what is a horror movie? I haven't
seen it, but from what I understand, Terrifier three is
definitely a horror movie. Just because bad things happen to
people in the movie doesn't make it a horror movie. Okay,
falling down, bad things happen, he was killing people. It's
(02:18):
not a horror movie. No, he's on Golden Pond a
horror movie. Someone died someone. Oh, look at the los
you oh pooh. I liked on Golden Pond. You know,
you know does a great on Golden Pond impression. Michael
Krozer of Katherine Hepburn. Yes, yes, Catherine Hepper I'm going
(02:42):
to need to hear that. Oh, we ask him about it.
If he's not listening right now. He does a great
Katherine Hepburn impression. Terrorfire three was number one with fourteen
million domestically, and I haven't seen any of the Terrifier movies,
but I'm not a big on, you know, that genre
of horror. They didn't do anything internationally. It's just released
(03:04):
in the US, but it brought in some nineteen million overall.
It's already made its money back. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I don't have any idea how much the third one
could have cost because I haven't seen it, But the
first one you could have made on somebody's lunch money.
It's I mean, it's just a slasher movie with a
killer clown. That's it.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Kind of like it.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
No, not even not even close. It has much more
ambition in terms of the story and what the clown
really is. This is nothing but a killer clown that
kills people for no good reason.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
That's all it is. There's nothing to it. Is there
a good reason to kill people?
Speaker 3 (03:40):
We'll get back to me by Friday, okay, because the
answer differs between Monday and Friday.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
The Wild Robot strong second week came in at number
two with its fourteen million, and it's one hundred and
forty nine million overall. I'm hearing nothing but great things
about the movie. I haven't seen that.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
You know.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
You know why I haven't seen it? An adult? There
we go, Did you see Beetlejuice? Beetlejuice? Because you're an adult?
I did?
Speaker 3 (04:07):
It was a live action film. I in fact, I oh,
so anything which I here on your show.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I know that. Only the reason I'm saying that is
because some people would say that's not exactly for adults either. No,
it kind is? Is it a horror movie?
Speaker 3 (04:22):
No, it's a comedy the horror comedy homedy, horror with
an H?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
What is that? What other kind of horror is there?
Kind with the W?
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Don't you just Stefan, I will get that button out
of your hand.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
He can't threaten you. We just tend to take a
workshop on that all if he tells hr Hr doesn't
listen to Number four? Was say it for me?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Mark Joker, oh Falia deuce Walia dece in seven million. Domestically,
it has a worldwide total of one hundred and sixty
four million. Its budget was two hundred million. If I'm
not mistaken, yep, it's not going to make its money back.
But I'm surprised if you go to see the movie
(05:14):
in a second and third week, then there's something wrong
with you personally. No one has said anything positive about
the movie. Why would you spend your money? It's going
to be on streaming I think next week.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
I've had friends on social media posts that they've seen
it and liked it, and it has seriously caused me
to reevaluate my friendships with these people.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Lying, Yeah, they're just being contralling Transformers one to wilet.
You did not like it, even though our friends did
like it. It's hanging in there. It's at number six.
It's gross to one hundred and twelve million worldwide. Looks
like it's going to make some money. I mean, that's
respectful of man, and I understand they're hardcore Transformer fans,
(05:53):
respected and like it what it did. But you know,
I'll never get over or get past Transforms, the original
animated movie, and this is a far cry from that.
That's all. The Apprentice is now out. It was in
limited release. It's the story of how a young Donald
Trump started his real estate business in the nineteen seventies.
(06:14):
It star as Sebastian Stan as Donald Trump. It brought
in I guess a respectable one point six million. It
was only in seventeen hundred theaters. It's not great, but
it hasn't had a great promotion either. So we'll see
if they expand its release in the next week or two.
The trailer looks pretty entertaining. It does. It does, and
(06:34):
I'm getting to the point where Sebastian Stan can play
just about everyone at this point. Give him the right
makeup speak No Evils number eleven this week. You saw
that one, right, Mark, Yeah, it's not bad, okay, and
that's about it. You know, I don't know what piece
by Pieces which came in at number five. That's the
Pharrell Lego movie. Oh that's right, Yeah, that's right. Okay.
(06:58):
I heard that was entertaining. If you like the Lego movie.
It's the Lego movie with music by Pharrell tell his
life story. That's free money for him. Yeah, why not.
I am surprised and even upset that one piece, not
one piece, but My Hero Academia your next is not
(07:19):
on this list. Me and my son want to go
see that. And it was fantastic. Well, it came in
a number eight with three million. Oh you skipped over that.
The idea did and it did better internationally, had twenty
three million internationally six million. My Hero Academia did better
outside the States than in the States. Well, that makes sense.
It's anime, and the fan base for it, of course
(07:40):
overseas is insane. But every theater here was sold out
absolutely and it was a beyond beyond expectation. It was
it was everything we could imagine. Hey, Stephen, do you
remember when we were playing the audio for the Elon
Musk event for the Robotaxis. Uh yeah, and they had
(08:01):
the humanoid robots come out. Yeah. Do you remember the
comment I made about them? I forgot. I don't think
I made the comparison looks like I Robot looks exactly
like the movie I Robot. Oh yeah, yeah. The funny
thing is funny haha, funny aha. I'm not the only
one who believed it. It seems that the director of
I Robot immediately noticed it and complained on social media,
(08:26):
posting photos of his version of I Robot and Elon
Musk's humanoid and also that ROBOTAXI that came out and
had twenty five people get out like clowns out of
a car. The director Alex Proyus for I Robot did
side by side, so the picture it looked exactly the same,
and he called him out, called out Elon Musk on
(08:49):
X and it was kind of funny. We'll talk about
it when we come back once again. I just want
to say I'm right again. All right, That's all I'll say.
I need more credit. Let and hurry and go to
break fush hurry k.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
I six forty you're listening to later with Moe Kelly
on demand from KFI AM six forty with Kelly on.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
And six Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. I wonder
if Gene Roddenberry saw an Apple I Watch, would he
complain or the first flip phone? Would he complain about
someone using his idea and turning it into actual technology?
(09:42):
How many inventions can we chase back to Star Trek
or even Star Wars two thousand and one a space odyssey?
I know Mark knows this should Should science fiction be
possessed SIV of real technology, it may indirectly lead to.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Well, I mean, they say Arthur C. Clark, the author
of two thousand and one, created the idea of orbiting satellites.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Yeah, yep, I forgot about that. That's a great point, Mark,
you could be a wealth of information. You hate saying
that I do. I do. The only reason I asked
that because I want to be fair here. When Elon
Musk had his his his show, for lack of a
better word, it was actually just one building over at
the Warner Brothers Discovery a lot. He was debuting his
(10:34):
ROBOTAXI and also his humanoid robot. It appeared to me
almost instantaneously if you go back and check the podcast
available on Apple Podcasts, Spreaker, iHeartRadio podcast, Attic wherever we
get podcasts. I said, immediately, it reminds me of I Robot.
If you know that movie starring Will Smith. It seemed
(10:55):
the robots to humanoids were eerily similar to that. And
when Elon Musk rolled out his robo taxi group taxi
that could like a bus, it looked just like a
vehicle in Ie Robot looked like a toaster. Yeah, but
it's toaster on wheels, but it was. It was very
(11:15):
reminiscent of that. And I'm and the director for I Robot,
Alex Proyas, took exception to it, and he said on
X commenting quote, Hey Elon, can I have my designs
back please? And you know, there's there's probably some overlap.
I'm quite sure that Elon his engineers and whomever they
(11:37):
were probably inspired by I Robot in any number of things,
maybe Boston Dynamics. But I personally am not offended that
science has adopted something from science fiction. Say what you
want about Elon Musk, but there are all sorts of
(11:58):
examples of action rual science being born because of science
fiction how science fiction has either inspired, encouraged, or directly
led to a lot of the things that we see today.
We can go back to Star Trek and the whole
idea of a tricorder, the scanning technology that we use
(12:20):
today when we go to the doctor, I would say
that's a direct descendant of Star Trek. I'm still waiting
on the teleporter. You need to hurry the hell up
on that one.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Well, there's no guarantee that that won't just kill you
and create a duplicate of you.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Oh look, ever since I saw the Fly, I'm scared
of that.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Yeah, there's a whole book about that, about how the
transporter and Star Trek. The person who materializes on the
other end isn't the original.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Person a copy? I it's yeah, I have to say,
because in theory you're disintegrated and then reintegrated in another
location in theory, in theory, and I don't know who's
going to be the first one to try that. I'll
stick with the shuttle craft. Yeah, yeah, physically transport me. Yeah,
we'll get there slower, you know. No, you don't have
(13:08):
to beat me down. That's okay, that's okay. There's a
shuttle leaving right now. Basics, I'll take the shuttle, but
I'm not actually for all the complaints and criticisms of
Elon Musk, did I actually have this is not one
of them, if only because there are too many things
that we have benefited from because of science fiction, encouraging
engineers of future generations to actually create.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Well did you see though, the follow ups from people
claiming that the robots were just remote controlled and weren't
even real robots.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Ah, that's the second part of the story. I'm sorry
to step on. No, no, no, not at all, not at
all all. You have to run down you know what
we're going to talk about. So there is the question,
and I said the question because it hasn't been proven.
There is a question that the humanoid robots that we
saw were not actually acting under artificial intelligence. They were
(13:59):
basically being puppeted by people who are on site to
give the illusion of you know, AI intelligence. And that
didn't bother me either, except for the fact that they
were being represented as being under their own power and
their own intellectual energy. If it you know, however you
want to phrase it, so you know, if you're going
(14:20):
to present something as wow and wonderful. Then make sure
it actually is wow and wonderful, or at least give
us a sense of, hey, it's not ready for primetime,
but you put it out there like it was ready
for prime time. You told us one day it'll be affordable,
you know, twenty to thirty thousand dollars. And I was
under the impression. I can't speak for anyone else, but
I was under the impression that these were working models
(14:45):
on some level. And it turns out from what we
know now, they weren't.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
If only they work as well as his cyber trucks. Well,
the cyber trucks are on the road, you know, when
they're not getting recalled.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
No, no, no, that's true. But I'm saying, at least they
are actually in society, and you know, people are using
them varying levels until they can't police departments. Some are
purchasing them. You know. Lookby it's real. At least it's real.
I can't say it's really good, but it's real in
(15:19):
the sense that it sort of exists, it exists. Yeah,
I can't say that the humanoid exists, I can't say
that the neuralink technology exists. Goes back to what we
said before give us an actual demonstration. Don't tell us
that you've achieved something. You know, it's a scientific method.
You should be able to demonstrate and also reproduce your results.
(15:39):
That's how the scientific method works. And if you don't
do that, then there's no reason for any of us
to believe any of this. But it was a fine presentation.
I think he needs another person to work as MC
who could better explain his products and sell his products.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
You find him lacking in the riz department. He is
not a good public speaker at all. No, No, you're
right about that. And he doesn't really create, slash invent
anything of his own either, from what I understand.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Well, a lot of this is a vehicle for him.
You know, his ego is sizable, and that I think
you would have to have a sizeable ego to be
ahead of these tech companies, to be president of the
United States whatever, you have to have an outsized ego.
There's a thought President Elon Well, the constitution as it
(16:30):
stands as it stands, won't allow that.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Well, there's a workaround, but I don't really want to
get into that. Yes there is.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
We'll see what happens after November, whether we'll start on
that workaround KIM six forty. We're live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Let's get morbid for a moment. Have you ever thought
about the music which might be playing as you're getting
ready to expire, if you're getting ready to leave this world,
this life. Well, we have the list of the top
ten songs that people used or shared while their relatives
(17:12):
or friends were in the process of kicking the bucket.
The top ten songs to play as you're leaving out
of here. Let's say number ten, These are the days
of our lives Queen. Number nine, Hey Jude, the Beatles,
(17:43):
I don't know. Look, it's your death.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
So if you're going to play a Beatles song, why
wouldn't you play in my life?
Speaker 2 (17:50):
I don't know. I wouldn't choose a Beatles song. But
you know, to each their own, no accounting for taste. No,
it gets worse, it gets much worse. Number eight, Beautiful
Christina Aguilera. I don't know that song. Will you sing it? Please?
(18:10):
I don't there You're beautiful? Okay, that's funny, that's funny
right there. Ya can't bring me down?
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Oh no, so the purpose is that it makes you
want to let something like that?
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Yeah, yeah. Number seven, I don't know all the lyrics
and the words. What a wonderful world, Louis yep, I
think dud I say. Number six.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
Wasn't bad.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
I know Angels by Robbie Williams. Not familiar, Stephan Do
you know that song? No, I don't know that one. Yeah,
it's the first one I didn't know. Number five of
the top ten songs people played during their final moments,
(19:08):
the phone rigs in.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
A middle of the night.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
By five they just what you want to do.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
With Joe life?
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Wow? Seriously seriously. Number five, f You're making me want
to die? All right? And why is most signas because
we're not allowed to use actual music in the podcast.
Number four Something with the Rainbow.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Oh that Hawaiian version of it? No, it's the Judy
Garland version. Okay, the Hawaiian version, I challenged. Yeah, yeah
for sure.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Number three you sit there the best? Yeah dead, Oh
the rest Tina Number two and I will oh and
(20:23):
the Pain bring an end to our suffering. It's gonna
make the podcast too. And number one of the top
ten songs dying people play during their final moments. Any
guesses Sinatra, my way, Stephen, I don't know that, Mark,
(20:52):
you guessed it? You get to sing it? No way? Really? Yeah?
By way? Wow, that's funny.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
I respect our listeners too much to say to them,
everybody happened. Oh come on, no, I can't sing I'm terrible.
That's the whole point. That is literally the whole point.
So it's like, have you seen the show from Uh,
They've got a guy singing a really our version of
the Doris Day song for the theme.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Oh have you ever heard the version of ka by
Sliding the family Stone? No? What's not to love?
Speaker 5 (21:31):
No?
Speaker 2 (21:31):
No, no, it is. It is one of those it's
it's one of those things where rarely do you find
a remake better than the original. But I think this
is better than the original. It's as funky and soulful
as you would ever want it to be. We often
play it for our Mother's Day special, absolutely because it
(21:51):
has a Mother's Day lyric to it.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
My point in mentioning the song in the first place
was that the the version of the song done on
from is a guy who sounds like lurch going okay, Sarah, Sarah,
it makes you want to kill yourself.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
That was pretty good, though, Mark, thank you. I like
how you rolled that base out. You like that. And
now begin just near and so I face the final curtain,
my friend. I'll say it clear. I'll state my case
(22:28):
of which I'm certain I've lived a life that's full.
I've traveled each and every highway at.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Home and more, much more than this. I didn't mind way.
Now kick it up, here we go. Come on k
IF I AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
What you're listening to later with Moe Kelly on demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Before we get out of here, tonight, want to salute
Michael Cooper, one of our favorite Lakers, one of my
favorite Lakers, and also a southern California tie. He was
a guest on the show a couple of years ago.
Friend of the show. We just couldn't get our schedules
together together to get him back on the show in
regard to his Hall of Fame induction, but I did
(23:21):
want to play just some of his speech as we
close out the show tonight.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
Give me glory and honor to God. I want to
thank all of you so much. I feel like I'm
being welcome into an amazing new family, one with some
familiar faces. And for that, I'm so grateful and honor
so grateful to the Hall and to all of you.
As I stand here, I know that there are many
(23:46):
people that I want to think, and that's how I
want to spend my time with you today. There is
something that I've accomplished that I believe makes me unique,
and it's a steamed company. I've achieved something not even
Michael Jordan couldn't. Everyone knows that he was cut from
his high school basketball team.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
I was cut twice.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
In fact, my early life was filled with setbacks. My
father abandoned us soon after I was born, and my
mother had to flee to northern California to escape a
violent and dangerous relationship. As a result, I was brought
up by my incredible grandmother, or Deasy Butler, and right
alongside her, my aunt Honey, my uncle John, and his
(24:31):
brother Tom my uncle. As you can imagine, we weren't
allowed to call him Uncle Tom. They raised me to
love sports, to be persistent, and to be fearless. Their support,
wisdom and faith made me the person I would become.
Then there was my high school coach, George Tershan. It
(24:53):
may seem odd to think thank the band who cut
me twice, but he might have been more important to
me than any other individual in my basketball life. Yes,
he taught me how to play for Rosia's defense, but
he also showed me that passion for sports could go
hand in hand with devotion to God. Nothing before or
(25:14):
since has mattered more. My life didn't follow a smooth
path though. No big schools recruited me, and I ended
up at Pasadena City College. Now, look, PCC was good
enough for Jesse Owens and Jackie Robinson, so it was
gonna certainly be good.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Enough for me.
Speaker 5 (25:36):
I was and I am beyond proud to have followed
in their mighty footsteps. But it wasn't exactly a fast
track to the NBA. From there, I transferred to the
University of New Mexico, and my time in Albuquerkley was
truly special. Coach Norman Ellenberger took my raw skills and
made me a far, far better player, but I was
still no NBA shoe in. Finally, at the end of
(26:01):
the third round, with the sixtieth pick in the draft,
someone took a gamble on me. You maybe have heard
of him. Jerry West, the logo, the icon of our game.
(26:23):
He was a friend and a mentor, and I owe
him more than he could ever understand. I've been seem
more than I can ever express. Jerry West was always
a voice of reason and what a teen Jerry and
(26:46):
Bill Charmon put together. Before long we were off and running,
headed to title after title. It was great to see
so many of my teammates up here with me today,
Spencer Haywood, Jamal Wills, Big Game, James Worthy, and unfortunately
the uncomfortable Kareem Abdul Jabbar cannot be here today.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
He showed me, as.
Speaker 5 (27:08):
Well as all of us, how to be leaders on
and off the floor.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Thank you, captain, get well soon.
Speaker 5 (27:21):
And of course has Irvin Magic Johnson, the magic man.
He made it all happen. He brought the best out
of all of us and showed us how to win
with joy, with consistency, and a whole lot of ass
kicking legends and inspirations, each of them, these men and
(27:46):
our other incredible teammates who are here today, like Byron Scott,
Ac Green, Norm Nixon and Kurt Rambis, Bob McAdoo and
Michael Thompson, and all of those who are not here
too will forever be my brothers, including Jim Jones. I
(28:09):
love all of you from the bottom of my heart,
and I'm so glad we went on this journey together,
playing in front of the greatest fans in the world,
men and women who decade long support in every sense
of the word, means more.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Than they will ever know. That's the Laker Nation fans
talking about me. Laker Nation.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
Also wanted to thank Boston Celtics and Larry Bird. As
that old saying goes, iron sharpens iron, and the Celtics
made us the sharpest tool in the box, and Larry
kept me on my toes too. That's why the Laker
Celtic rivalry was so special. And I know I speak
(28:53):
for us all when I say none of it could
have happened without coach pat Riley. He made me a
better player on the court, and he made me a
man off of it. And while folks today talks so
much about his incredible sense of style, no one should
(29:13):
forget what an absolute genius he was as a basketball coach.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
He toured. Let's give it up, Ron, there's more, but
It was a really nice acknowledgment of his former teammates,
the people in his life who made him the man
that he eventually became, and also giving credit to his
competitors who brought the best out of him. Congratulations to
Michael Cooper, now a member of the Natesmith Basketball Hall
(29:39):
of Fame, and Coop, I know you listened to KFI.
I know you listened to the show. Come on back
on the show so we can celebrate together. Congratulations to
you and your family. KFIM six forty. We're live everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
The news has been updated strict to refresh.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
K and Fine and the KOSTHD two Los Angeles, Dane
County live everywhere on the Young Art Radio
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Forty Yes Later with mo Kelly. We are live everywhere
in the iHeartRadio app. And I was listening to Mark
Roner one of the few times I was actually listening.
Oh no, no, it's different because I was listening to
you talking about the best horror movies of all time,
and I was thinking, like, these aren't horror movies.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
No, no, you and I really went to town on
Variety last week they published their top one hundred. This
week it's Rotten Tomatoes with two hundred. Yes, I'm not
sure I have the fortitude to get through that one.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I was sent that list by Aaron in the newsroom.
She was nice enough to send it to us, and
I was explaining to her, Hey, if you ever listened
to us, you would you know, you would see we
talked about horror movies. No bless her horr. I'm just
giving our hard time. But I guess it's vogue to
come out with these lists knowing that all of us
will debate them, but at least be in the realm
(00:53):
of horror. You're given us thrillers, you're giving us monster movies.
You've given us, you know, find movies, I FI, yeah,
hit everything, but an actual bonified horror movie.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
It's very frustrating if you know and love horror movies
to see these trash lists.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
But that's what they want. It's nothing but clickbait. No,
it is clickbait, and they want us to discuss it
on KF I am six forty number one news saux
station in America, and iheartrate. I get all that. I'm
not a fool, but at least you can have a
genuine attempt at putting a credible list together. When you
have Grimlins at number forty two, you're not being serious
(01:35):
and you deserve ridicule. Aaron said that the Rod Tomatoes
list had Jaws at number one. Yeah, that's what Mark
was saying during the newsbreak. I know, honestly, I don't
listen to him ever either, but he I just happen
to be listening at that moment. We'll go for you, Mark. Yeah,
that's that's a little uncalled for it. But I'm just
gonna keep moving forward here. I'm not gonna You're not
bringing me down on a Monday. But can we agree
(01:57):
Jaws is not a horror movie? Absolutely not it's a
horror movie. No, what is a horror movie? I haven't
seen it, but from what I understand, Terrifier three is
definitely a horror movie. Just because bad things happen to
people in the movie doesn't make it a horror movie. Okay,
falling down, bad things happen, he was killing people. It's
(02:18):
not a horror movie. No, he's on Golden Pond a
horror movie. Someone died someone. Oh, look at the los
you oh pooh. I liked on Golden Pond. You know,
you know does a great on Golden Pond impression. Michael
Krozer of Katherine Hepburn. Yes, yes, Catherine Hepper I'm going
(02:42):
to need to hear that. Oh, we ask him about it.
If he's not listening right now. He does a great
Katherine Hepburn impression. Terrorfire three was number one with fourteen
million domestically, and I haven't seen any of the Terrifier movies,
but I'm not a big on, you know, that genre
of horror. They didn't do anything internationally. It's just released
(03:04):
in the US, but it brought in some nineteen million overall.
It's already made its money back. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I don't have any idea how much the third one
could have cost because I haven't seen it, But the
first one you could have made on somebody's lunch money.
It's I mean, it's just a slasher movie with a
killer clown. That's it.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Kind of like it.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
No, not even not even close. It has much more
ambition in terms of the story and what the clown
really is. This is nothing but a killer clown that
kills people for no good reason.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
That's all it is. There's nothing to it. Is there
a good reason to kill people?
Speaker 3 (03:40):
We'll get back to me by Friday, okay, because the
answer differs between Monday and Friday.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
The Wild Robot strong second week came in at number
two with its fourteen million, and it's one hundred and
forty nine million overall. I'm hearing nothing but great things
about the movie. I haven't seen that.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
You know.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
You know why I haven't seen it? An adult? There
we go, Did you see Beetlejuice? Beetlejuice? Because you're an adult?
I did?
Speaker 3 (04:07):
It was a live action film. I in fact, I oh,
so anything which I here on your show.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I know that. Only the reason I'm saying that is
because some people would say that's not exactly for adults either. No,
it kind is? Is it a horror movie?
Speaker 3 (04:22):
No, it's a comedy the horror comedy homedy, horror with
an H?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
What is that? What other kind of horror is there?
Kind with the W?
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Don't you just Stefan, I will get that button out
of your hand.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
He can't threaten you. We just tend to take a
workshop on that all if he tells hr Hr doesn't
listen to Number four? Was say it for me?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Mark Joker, oh Falia deuce Walia dece in seven million. Domestically,
it has a worldwide total of one hundred and sixty
four million. Its budget was two hundred million. If I'm
not mistaken, yep, it's not going to make its money back.
But I'm surprised if you go to see the movie
(05:14):
in a second and third week, then there's something wrong
with you personally. No one has said anything positive about
the movie. Why would you spend your money? It's going
to be on streaming I think next week.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
I've had friends on social media posts that they've seen
it and liked it, and it has seriously caused me
to reevaluate my friendships with these people.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Lying, Yeah, they're just being contralling Transformers one to wilet.
You did not like it, even though our friends did
like it. It's hanging in there. It's at number six.
It's gross to one hundred and twelve million worldwide. Looks
like it's going to make some money. I mean, that's
respectful of man, and I understand they're hardcore Transformer fans,
(05:53):
respected and like it what it did. But you know,
I'll never get over or get past Transforms, the original
animated movie, and this is a far cry from that.
That's all. The Apprentice is now out. It was in
limited release. It's the story of how a young Donald
Trump started his real estate business in the nineteen seventies.
(06:14):
It star as Sebastian Stan as Donald Trump. It brought
in I guess a respectable one point six million. It
was only in seventeen hundred theaters. It's not great, but
it hasn't had a great promotion either. So we'll see
if they expand its release in the next week or two.
The trailer looks pretty entertaining. It does. It does, and
(06:34):
I'm getting to the point where Sebastian Stan can play
just about everyone at this point. Give him the right
makeup speak No Evils number eleven this week. You saw
that one, right, Mark, Yeah, it's not bad, okay, and
that's about it. You know, I don't know what piece
by Pieces which came in at number five. That's the
Pharrell Lego movie. Oh that's right, Yeah, that's right. Okay.
(06:58):
I heard that was entertaining. If you like the Lego movie.
It's the Lego movie with music by Pharrell tell his
life story. That's free money for him. Yeah, why not.
I am surprised and even upset that one piece, not
one piece, but My Hero Academia your next is not
(07:19):
on this list. Me and my son want to go
see that. And it was fantastic. Well, it came in
a number eight with three million. Oh you skipped over that.
The idea did and it did better internationally, had twenty
three million internationally six million. My Hero Academia did better
outside the States than in the States. Well, that makes sense.
It's anime, and the fan base for it, of course
(07:40):
overseas is insane. But every theater here was sold out
absolutely and it was a beyond beyond expectation. It was
it was everything we could imagine. Hey, Stephen, do you
remember when we were playing the audio for the Elon
Musk event for the Robotaxis. Uh yeah, and they had
(08:01):
the humanoid robots come out. Yeah. Do you remember the
comment I made about them? I forgot. I don't think
I made the comparison looks like I Robot looks exactly
like the movie I Robot. Oh yeah, yeah. The funny
thing is funny haha, funny aha. I'm not the only
one who believed it. It seems that the director of
I Robot immediately noticed it and complained on social media,
(08:26):
posting photos of his version of I Robot and Elon
Musk's humanoid and also that ROBOTAXI that came out and
had twenty five people get out like clowns out of
a car. The director Alex Proyus for I Robot did
side by side, so the picture it looked exactly the same,
and he called him out, called out Elon Musk on
(08:49):
X and it was kind of funny. We'll talk about
it when we come back once again. I just want
to say I'm right again. All right, That's all I'll say.
I need more credit. Let and hurry and go to
break fush hurry k.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
I six forty you're listening to later with Moe Kelly
on demand from KFI AM six forty with Kelly on.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
And six Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. I wonder
if Gene Roddenberry saw an Apple I Watch, would he
complain or the first flip phone? Would he complain about
someone using his idea and turning it into actual technology?
(09:42):
How many inventions can we chase back to Star Trek
or even Star Wars two thousand and one a space odyssey?
I know Mark knows this should Should science fiction be
possessed SIV of real technology, it may indirectly lead to.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Well, I mean, they say Arthur C. Clark, the author
of two thousand and one, created the idea of orbiting satellites.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Yeah, yep, I forgot about that. That's a great point, Mark,
you could be a wealth of information. You hate saying
that I do. I do. The only reason I asked
that because I want to be fair here. When Elon
Musk had his his his show, for lack of a
better word, it was actually just one building over at
the Warner Brothers Discovery a lot. He was debuting his
(10:34):
ROBOTAXI and also his humanoid robot. It appeared to me
almost instantaneously if you go back and check the podcast
available on Apple Podcasts, Spreaker, iHeartRadio podcast, Attic wherever we
get podcasts. I said, immediately, it reminds me of I Robot.
If you know that movie starring Will Smith. It seemed
(10:55):
the robots to humanoids were eerily similar to that. And
when Elon Musk rolled out his robo taxi group taxi
that could like a bus, it looked just like a
vehicle in Ie Robot looked like a toaster. Yeah, but
it's toaster on wheels, but it was. It was very
(11:15):
reminiscent of that. And I'm and the director for I Robot,
Alex Proyas, took exception to it, and he said on
X commenting quote, Hey Elon, can I have my designs
back please? And you know, there's there's probably some overlap.
I'm quite sure that Elon his engineers and whomever they
(11:37):
were probably inspired by I Robot in any number of things,
maybe Boston Dynamics. But I personally am not offended that
science has adopted something from science fiction. Say what you
want about Elon Musk, but there are all sorts of
(11:58):
examples of action rual science being born because of science
fiction how science fiction has either inspired, encouraged, or directly
led to a lot of the things that we see today.
We can go back to Star Trek and the whole
idea of a tricorder, the scanning technology that we use
(12:20):
today when we go to the doctor, I would say
that's a direct descendant of Star Trek. I'm still waiting
on the teleporter. You need to hurry the hell up
on that one.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Well, there's no guarantee that that won't just kill you
and create a duplicate of you.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Oh look, ever since I saw the Fly, I'm scared
of that.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Yeah, there's a whole book about that, about how the
transporter and Star Trek. The person who materializes on the
other end isn't the original.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Person a copy? I it's yeah, I have to say,
because in theory you're disintegrated and then reintegrated in another
location in theory, in theory, and I don't know who's
going to be the first one to try that. I'll
stick with the shuttle craft. Yeah, yeah, physically transport me. Yeah,
we'll get there slower, you know. No, you don't have
(13:08):
to beat me down. That's okay, that's okay. There's a
shuttle leaving right now. Basics, I'll take the shuttle, but
I'm not actually for all the complaints and criticisms of
Elon Musk, did I actually have this is not one
of them, if only because there are too many things
that we have benefited from because of science fiction, encouraging
engineers of future generations to actually create.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Well did you see though, the follow ups from people
claiming that the robots were just remote controlled and weren't
even real robots.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Ah, that's the second part of the story. I'm sorry
to step on. No, no, no, not at all, not at
all all. You have to run down you know what
we're going to talk about. So there is the question,
and I said the question because it hasn't been proven.
There is a question that the humanoid robots that we
saw were not actually acting under artificial intelligence. They were
(13:59):
basically being puppeted by people who are on site to
give the illusion of you know, AI intelligence. And that
didn't bother me either, except for the fact that they
were being represented as being under their own power and
their own intellectual energy. If it you know, however you
want to phrase it, so you know, if you're going
(14:20):
to present something as wow and wonderful. Then make sure
it actually is wow and wonderful, or at least give
us a sense of, hey, it's not ready for primetime,
but you put it out there like it was ready
for prime time. You told us one day it'll be affordable,
you know, twenty to thirty thousand dollars. And I was
under the impression. I can't speak for anyone else, but
I was under the impression that these were working models
(14:45):
on some level. And it turns out from what we
know now, they weren't.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
If only they work as well as his cyber trucks. Well,
the cyber trucks are on the road, you know, when
they're not getting recalled.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
No, no, no, that's true. But I'm saying, at least they
are actually in society, and you know, people are using
them varying levels until they can't police departments. Some are
purchasing them. You know. Lookby it's real. At least it's real.
I can't say it's really good, but it's real in
(15:19):
the sense that it sort of exists, it exists. Yeah,
I can't say that the humanoid exists, I can't say
that the neuralink technology exists. Goes back to what we
said before give us an actual demonstration. Don't tell us
that you've achieved something. You know, it's a scientific method.
You should be able to demonstrate and also reproduce your results.
(15:39):
That's how the scientific method works. And if you don't
do that, then there's no reason for any of us
to believe any of this. But it was a fine presentation.
I think he needs another person to work as MC
who could better explain his products and sell his products.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
You find him lacking in the riz department. He is
not a good public speaker at all. No, No, you're
right about that. And he doesn't really create, slash invent
anything of his own either, from what I understand.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Well, a lot of this is a vehicle for him.
You know, his ego is sizable, and that I think
you would have to have a sizeable ego to be
ahead of these tech companies, to be president of the
United States whatever, you have to have an outsized ego.
There's a thought President Elon Well, the constitution as it
(16:30):
stands as it stands, won't allow that.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Well, there's a workaround, but I don't really want to
get into that. Yes there is.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
We'll see what happens after November, whether we'll start on
that workaround KIM six forty. We're live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Let's get morbid for a moment. Have you ever thought
about the music which might be playing as you're getting
ready to expire, if you're getting ready to leave this world,
this life. Well, we have the list of the top
ten songs that people used or shared while their relatives
(17:12):
or friends were in the process of kicking the bucket.
The top ten songs to play as you're leaving out
of here. Let's say number ten, These are the days
of our lives Queen. Number nine, Hey Jude, the Beatles,
(17:43):
I don't know. Look, it's your death.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
So if you're going to play a Beatles song, why
wouldn't you play in my life?
Speaker 2 (17:50):
I don't know. I wouldn't choose a Beatles song. But
you know, to each their own, no accounting for taste. No,
it gets worse, it gets much worse. Number eight, Beautiful
Christina Aguilera. I don't know that song. Will you sing it? Please?
(18:10):
I don't there You're beautiful? Okay, that's funny, that's funny
right there. Ya can't bring me down?
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Oh no, so the purpose is that it makes you
want to let something like that?
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Yeah, yeah. Number seven, I don't know all the lyrics
and the words. What a wonderful world, Louis yep, I
think dud I say. Number six.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
Wasn't bad.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
I know Angels by Robbie Williams. Not familiar, Stephan Do
you know that song? No, I don't know that one. Yeah,
it's the first one I didn't know. Number five of
the top ten songs people played during their final moments,
(19:08):
the phone rigs in.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
A middle of the night.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
By five they just what you want to do.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
With Joe life?
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Wow? Seriously seriously. Number five, f You're making me want
to die? All right? And why is most signas because
we're not allowed to use actual music in the podcast.
Number four Something with the Rainbow.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Oh that Hawaiian version of it? No, it's the Judy
Garland version. Okay, the Hawaiian version, I challenged. Yeah, yeah
for sure.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Number three you sit there the best? Yeah dead, Oh
the rest Tina Number two and I will oh and
(20:23):
the Pain bring an end to our suffering. It's gonna
make the podcast too. And number one of the top
ten songs dying people play during their final moments. Any
guesses Sinatra, my way, Stephen, I don't know that, Mark,
(20:52):
you guessed it? You get to sing it? No way? Really? Yeah?
By way? Wow, that's funny.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
I respect our listeners too much to say to them,
everybody happened. Oh come on, no, I can't sing I'm terrible.
That's the whole point. That is literally the whole point.
So it's like, have you seen the show from Uh,
They've got a guy singing a really our version of
the Doris Day song for the theme.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Oh have you ever heard the version of ka by
Sliding the family Stone? No? What's not to love?
Speaker 5 (21:31):
No?
Speaker 2 (21:31):
No, no, it is. It is one of those it's
it's one of those things where rarely do you find
a remake better than the original. But I think this
is better than the original. It's as funky and soulful
as you would ever want it to be. We often
play it for our Mother's Day special, absolutely because it
(21:51):
has a Mother's Day lyric to it.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
My point in mentioning the song in the first place
was that the the version of the song done on
from is a guy who sounds like lurch going okay, Sarah, Sarah,
it makes you want to kill yourself.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
That was pretty good, though, Mark, thank you. I like
how you rolled that base out. You like that. And
now begin just near and so I face the final curtain,
my friend. I'll say it clear. I'll state my case
(22:28):
of which I'm certain I've lived a life that's full.
I've traveled each and every highway at.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Home and more, much more than this. I didn't mind way.
Now kick it up, here we go. Come on k
IF I AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
What you're listening to later with Moe Kelly on demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Before we get out of here, tonight, want to salute
Michael Cooper, one of our favorite Lakers, one of my
favorite Lakers, and also a southern California tie. He was
a guest on the show a couple of years ago.
Friend of the show. We just couldn't get our schedules
together together to get him back on the show in
regard to his Hall of Fame induction, but I did
(23:21):
want to play just some of his speech as we
close out the show tonight.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
Give me glory and honor to God. I want to
thank all of you so much. I feel like I'm
being welcome into an amazing new family, one with some
familiar faces. And for that, I'm so grateful and honor
so grateful to the Hall and to all of you.
As I stand here, I know that there are many
(23:46):
people that I want to think, and that's how I
want to spend my time with you today. There is
something that I've accomplished that I believe makes me unique,
and it's a steamed company. I've achieved something not even
Michael Jordan couldn't. Everyone knows that he was cut from
his high school basketball team.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
I was cut twice.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
In fact, my early life was filled with setbacks. My
father abandoned us soon after I was born, and my
mother had to flee to northern California to escape a
violent and dangerous relationship. As a result, I was brought
up by my incredible grandmother, or Deasy Butler, and right
alongside her, my aunt Honey, my uncle John, and his
(24:31):
brother Tom my uncle. As you can imagine, we weren't
allowed to call him Uncle Tom. They raised me to
love sports, to be persistent, and to be fearless. Their support,
wisdom and faith made me the person I would become.
Then there was my high school coach, George Tershan. It
(24:53):
may seem odd to think thank the band who cut
me twice, but he might have been more important to
me than any other individual in my basketball life. Yes,
he taught me how to play for Rosia's defense, but
he also showed me that passion for sports could go
hand in hand with devotion to God. Nothing before or
(25:14):
since has mattered more. My life didn't follow a smooth
path though. No big schools recruited me, and I ended
up at Pasadena City College. Now, look, PCC was good
enough for Jesse Owens and Jackie Robinson, so it was
gonna certainly be good.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Enough for me.
Speaker 5 (25:36):
I was and I am beyond proud to have followed
in their mighty footsteps. But it wasn't exactly a fast
track to the NBA. From there, I transferred to the
University of New Mexico, and my time in Albuquerkley was
truly special. Coach Norman Ellenberger took my raw skills and
made me a far, far better player, but I was
still no NBA shoe in. Finally, at the end of
(26:01):
the third round, with the sixtieth pick in the draft,
someone took a gamble on me. You maybe have heard
of him. Jerry West, the logo, the icon of our game.
(26:23):
He was a friend and a mentor, and I owe
him more than he could ever understand. I've been seem
more than I can ever express. Jerry West was always
a voice of reason and what a teen Jerry and
(26:46):
Bill Charmon put together. Before long we were off and running,
headed to title after title. It was great to see
so many of my teammates up here with me today,
Spencer Haywood, Jamal Wills, Big Game, James Worthy, and unfortunately
the uncomfortable Kareem Abdul Jabbar cannot be here today.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
He showed me, as.
Speaker 5 (27:08):
Well as all of us, how to be leaders on
and off the floor.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Thank you, captain, get well soon.
Speaker 5 (27:21):
And of course has Irvin Magic Johnson, the magic man.
He made it all happen. He brought the best out
of all of us and showed us how to win
with joy, with consistency, and a whole lot of ass
kicking legends and inspirations, each of them, these men and
(27:46):
our other incredible teammates who are here today, like Byron Scott,
Ac Green, Norm Nixon and Kurt Rambis, Bob McAdoo and
Michael Thompson, and all of those who are not here
too will forever be my brothers, including Jim Jones. I
(28:09):
love all of you from the bottom of my heart,
and I'm so glad we went on this journey together,
playing in front of the greatest fans in the world,
men and women who decade long support in every sense
of the word, means more.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Than they will ever know. That's the Laker Nation fans
talking about me. Laker Nation.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
Also wanted to thank Boston Celtics and Larry Bird. As
that old saying goes, iron sharpens iron, and the Celtics
made us the sharpest tool in the box, and Larry
kept me on my toes too. That's why the Laker
Celtic rivalry was so special. And I know I speak
(28:53):
for us all when I say none of it could
have happened without coach pat Riley. He made me a
better player on the court, and he made me a
man off of it. And while folks today talks so
much about his incredible sense of style, no one should
(29:13):
forget what an absolute genius he was as a basketball coach.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
