Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh, when moo Kelly.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Sex Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. I wonder if
Australia might be on to something. For as much as
you may complain about social media, as much as I
may complain about social media, I wonder if Australia is
(00:29):
onto something, the Australian government will legislate a ban on
social media for children under the age of sixteen. Can
you imagine an America with no stupid TikTok challenges that
kids are doing, no tide pod challenges.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Can you imagine? No? I can't because we would never
do anything like that.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
But I'm just saying Australia might be on to something,
and if America told the truth, they would agree. Here's
how I know, because as you already have the state
level bands on certain apps like TikTok, you already have
the state regulations where they have to have age verification
(01:16):
in certain states, So you're already there. You as in America,
you already agree with me, but you don't want to
take that next step because of you know, freedom. Australia
is presently trialing an age verification system to assist in
blocking children from accessing social media platforms and This is
(01:39):
just part of a range of measures and it's probably
arguably some of the toughest controls in the world. Quote,
social media is doing harm to our kids and I'm
calling time on it. That's the Prime Minister Anthony Albansia.
And he also cited the risks to physical and mental
health of children from excessive social media use. Yes we
(02:02):
know that, Yes, physical and mental health. Kids sitting around
on social media all damn day mental health, they're maladjusted,
They don't develop the necessary and requisite socialization skills. They
don't know how to talk to anyone, they don't know
how to interact with anyone because they're on their damn
(02:23):
phones all damn day long. And social media is just
a portion of it, but it's a big portion of it.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Quote.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
If you're a fourteen year old kid, getting this stuff
at a time where you're going through life's changes and maturing,
it can be a really difficult time. And what we're
doing is listening and then acting. I don't have any
school aged children, but I can see what school aged
children are doing. I can see how they're acting, how
(02:54):
they are not performing as well as they could or
should in schools. And I defer to you, T Waller,
because you're working with America's youth every single day. But
I know what I see, I know what I'm experiencing.
I know that these kids. Yes I'm broad brushing here,
these kids are way too dependent on social media. They're
(03:15):
way too invested in their phones. And I think that
we're growth. We're not that we're breeding psychopaths and sociopaths,
but we're sure helping it out.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
We are absolutely stunting the growth of America by allowing
young people unfetter time on social media and unfetter time
on their phones. It's bad enough for us as adults
in the addiction that we have with our phones, as
addicted as we are on our phones, just imagine how
(03:48):
much more that is a problem for children whose minds
are maturing, who haven't been able to formulate their own thoughts,
who haven't been able to develop the requisite skills to
communicate and have a real interpersonal relationships with each other
when all they're doing is looking at their phones. I jeez, Louise,
(04:10):
this is one thing. Look, Governor Newsom, if you're doing
anything anything about helping our children, why don't you call
the Prime Minister of Australia and say, hey, so give
me the blueprints for that plan so we can do
that here in California.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
The Communications Minister for Australia, Michelle Roland said, quote, what
we are announcing here and what we will legislate will
truly be truly world leading.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
No argument there. Roland said.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Platforms impacted would be meta platforms, and that's Instagram, Facebook,
as well as Byte Dances, TikTok and also Elon muss x.
It would also impact YouTube, which is a subdivision of
Google and Alphabet and yeah, just about every social media
(05:00):
portal that we all love and use.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
And here's something I want to go back to what
you were saying, Twala.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
It's not just that kids are still developing in a
mental and physical sense that social media I think stunts
that growth. Kids have more time than most adults. I
you know, we have jobs to go to, we have
kids to take care of, we have other responsibilities which
(05:28):
by and large preclude us from just playing on social
media all day. Let's think back to when we were kids.
We never had as much free time then we were kids.
You know, Yeah, you go to school from nine am
to maybe three pm maybe maybe, and then you come home.
(05:48):
In our day, we watch cartoons. Now take off the cartoons.
You put on the phone and you're doing the phone
thing instead, and then you know you may do was
it I think you were telling me Twala that kids
don't have homework anymore for the most part.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Yeah, that's weird. That's so weird the whole day. How
does that work?
Speaker 4 (06:06):
They do everything in school, They do these group lessons,
They have these periods, and the way they're broken down,
you have one entire period dedicated to doing homework.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Because what kids.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Homework at school at school, so at school work, it's schoolwork,
but it's what you would do at home. But because
of the complaints of us parent folk who are saying,
hey man, my kids are up till damn near midnight
doing homework because you're giving them so much there's no
balance in between, they just say, you know what, You're right,
(06:39):
no homework. What we're going to focus on is building
them up in school.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
All right, So let me go back to what I
was saying.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
So they're in school on average maybe eight am to
two o'clock, eight am, nine am to three o'clock something
around there. They come home, they don't have any homework.
They don't have a job. Why because they're twelve thirteen
years old. They may not have any parental supervision. Why
because working folks like Twalla and me and maybe Mark Ronner,
(07:12):
we're usually working and so we may not get home
until some hour late in the evening. Like Twalla Sharpe
will be midnight. I'm not gonna get home until eleven
o'clock at night. Mark Runner, he doesn't go home. He
just sleeps here. I just cruise around after work.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Were you like trolling for pros like taxi driver, just
like Robert de Niro and taxi driver.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Okay, if we're gonna leave that alone.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
But the bottom line is that's I would then argue
that kids have even more unsupervised, unstructured time than we
did as kids, if only because we actually had homework,
we actually had jobs. I don't know if kids have
jobs today like when we were. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
(07:56):
So yeah, So I say all that to say social
media has an outsize level of impact, and I would
say time in which they're occupying kids as opposed to
because our distraction was maybe the Atari video game that
was about it twenty six hundred in television, I had television.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Well at your villa, yeah, we didn't have any of
that stuff. In the winter, we had snowballs and that
was it I had in television and I was not
rich that moment.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Okay, well, if you say so, it's later with mo Kelly,
can if I am six forty live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app And we have a Disney Adult update. Remember
we told you how Disney was moving in a certain
direction because of Deadpool and Wolverine and people were upset
about what was happening at the amusement park. Well, we
have another update and it kind of confirms we were right.
(08:45):
This is not your parents, Disney. This is this is
for the adults, the grown folks. Pretty soon they'll have
sex shows.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Disneyland, once upon a time, at least in the vision
of Walt Disney, was all about the family experience. It
was supposed to be something where it was catered towards
kids and family and not the adult experience. And that's
part of the reason why up until twenty nineteen, Disneyland
(09:21):
was considered a dry park. You couldn't buy alcohol anywhere
except for the exclusive Club thirty three, and we all
know that you can't get into Club thirty three without
really knowing someone. It wasn't available to the public, so
you couldn't go to Disneyland and get liquored up inside
the park. Now people have brought in liquor and got
(09:44):
liquored up, but you couldn't purchase alcohol. That was up
until twenty nineteen, and all of it started to change,
especially at Star Wars Galaxy Edge. The first bar Ogu's
Cantina opened in nineteen and.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
It serves some alcohol.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
And I don't remember the year, it might have been
the same year, but Blue Bayou Restaurant they served these
Hurricane cocktails and beer and wine. How do I know
because I got liquored up on them when I went
to Disneyland two three years ago. All right, So I
know alcohol has become more and more plentiful at Disneyland.
(10:25):
And to that end, they've added alcoholic beverages to another
restaurant and it's going to be available at the Docking
Base seven Food and Cargo in Star Wars Galaxies Edge
for guests who purchased the nighttime gathering Fireworks dining package,
which starts at eighty nine dollars per guest. It includes food,
(10:48):
a specialty drink in a souvenir cup, unlimited fountain drinks,
and premium fireworks viewing at the Falcon Overlook patio.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
But that aside.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
The real story is there is more alcohol which is
being served at Disneyland, and they're moving away from the
quote unquote family friendly amusement park experience. Why because they're
trying to appeal to a wider swath of would be attendees.
I know that there are a lot of fathers out there,
(11:18):
and I'm not gonna blame mothers, but I'd say fathers
who dread going to Disneyland with the family. They got
two or three kids. They're getting on their freaking nerves.
They won't shut up, they won't get tired. And I
know the dad is saying, gosh, I just wish I
could have a drink, And Disney understands that, and now
they're offering more alcohol, and I'm with it. I'm glad
(11:43):
that Disney is now coming into the twenty first century.
There's profanity at Disneyland. You have Deadpool and Wolverine, you
have inappropriate sexual remarks in a Deadpool and Wolverine show.
I look I like it. For me, Disneyland was always
an adult park. All what I did on Small World
with someone who I'm not going to use their real
(12:04):
name on the radio with it's an adult theme park.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Small World though, huh not the matter horn give it
to them.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
We'll wait, Okay.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
All I know is there were some very angry people
at me on Small World when I was on there
with my girlfriend, completely inappropriate behavior. And back in the
day Small World. Since you mentioned it was a much
darker ride, I was going to say the lights were
really down and maybe.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Because of hooligans like me, they changed it. Uh.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
There was a what was it called the people Mover
I think it was, Yeah, the tram.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
It was.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
It was kind of it was kind of like a trumpet.
It was also like a ride. Yeah, it was like
a ride. All I can say is grad Night nineteen
eighty seven. That was the night that I figured out
that there's no ride that they can't see you.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Because someone spoke over.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
The intercom system with the camera and they say, hey, hey,
you guys, stop doing that.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Were you going for the full Bobert look?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
You know how they have the mile high Club. This
was like the sixty foot high Club.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Okay, we were getting it in.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
So when you hear the voice of gods, I'm like, hey, hey, hey,
stop doing that.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Get that out of there. Yeah, you can't hide from
the Disney Gods.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Yes, they're everywhere, And I can only imagine what the
technology is like now. They probably got like a heat
signatures and everything. They know where you are and what
you're doing. To see the silhouette of two people getting
it in black lights.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Next yeah, next day, after the fact, when they try
to clean the Uncle Walt would be ashamed of you. Ashamed. No,
I think he would. Actually.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
The serious point is Walt Disney probably would not approve
of what Disneyland has turned into now. And I think
that's a function of it just being a corporation which
cares less about art and more about money, where Walt
Disney was about the art of it all. Yes, it
was a business, but I don't think that was the
driving force for what he was creating with Disneyland.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
It was all about the fantasy.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
It was all about the experience for the child originally,
and now it's turned into a playground of sorts.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Which is catering to a wider range of ages.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
If you ever go to Downtown Disney, which is pretty
much a part of Disneyland, you can't leave the Disneyland
Hotel and you know this, to Wala, you have to
go through Downtown Disney because they want to make sure
that you have every opportunity to spend money. There's nothing
but adult stuff there. Bars, it's a bar scene. It's
(14:59):
basically a club in Miami. That's what it looks like,
that's what it feels like. And the only thing they're
missing are women in thongs. But I'm holding out against hope.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Hmmm, I don't think that's coming what.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
I'm the only one who wants to see some some
jiggling and some wiggling at Disneyland.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
I don't know if I want.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Uncle Walt wouldn't give you high fives for that. He
didn't want that.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
He didn't want it. But he's he's dead.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Look everything that's going on to Disneyland now, he wouldn't
want any parts of I think he would probably look
upon Star Wars and Avengers and Marvel as an abomination, honestly,
because that's not Disney that's just a property that was purchased.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
And they folded into Disneyland. Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Yeah. I don't think Uncle Walt would have been down
with Deadpool. No, no, I don't think he would.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Have liked Star Wars at all at all, because it's
just it's Disney only by purchase, not by idea. It
wasn't originally Disney, and it was not speaking to the
same market as Disneyland. Disneyland in twenty twenty four looks
nothing like Disneyland in the early nineteen seventies when I
first started going, not because of the rides and attractions.
(16:12):
It's more a function of who Disneyland is trying to
reach to get them to spend their money, as in
all of their money.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
So Disneyland needs to listen to me. Since the going down.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
The alcohol alcohol route, they might as well just go
all the way in.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
You just coind a new word alcohol.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Because I was trying to get ready to go somewhere
and it evolves holes and I got there too fast.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
But my point is you got to You got to
the whole too fast. Yeah, the alcohol. You got to
the alcohol. Yeah, it's like Caddyshack, is it?
Speaker 5 (16:47):
The whole?
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Look at the time. Can I get one more? No,
thank you very much?
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Can't I a six forty live everywhere in the iHeartRadio
app So alcohol Disneyland. I want someone from Disneyland who's
listening right now, because they are listening. Don't dismiss out
of hand the whole strip club thong attraction.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Uncle Walt didn't want anybody to make it rain. Okay, Look,
a lot of money is spent in a strip club
a lot, and Small World was originally a very dark ride.
He knew that he did it for a reason. He
did it for a reason. Shake it like a salt shaker.
Shake it like a salt shaker, Small World.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Set your new pillow.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Talk now, hey baby, you want to take a trip
to Small World?
Speaker 3 (17:38):
No no, no, no, no, no no. Do you know
what I mean by assault shaker? We gotta go. It's
to do.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
I want you to find yin Yang Twins salt Shaker.
We'll play it for Mark when we come back. I
don't need it, you know, you know you do need
it in your life.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on Demand from
KFI AM six four.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Let's stay in the Realm of Theme Parks six Flags
is considering closing parks all across the country after its
recent merger with Cedar Point and Cedar Point as the
parent company of the Six Flags Magic Mountain. They're saying,
we don't need all these amusement parks anymore. So if
(18:22):
you've been to maybe Six Flags over Texas or Magic Mountain,
those parks, we don't know what is going to happen
in the future. They don't need all forty two of them.
And in a report published on Wednesday, SFEC provided a
rough outline for its long range plan titled Project Accelerate,
(18:43):
and the project promised a comprehensive review of the portfolio
to evaluate the potential divestiture of non core assets to
help reduce leverage.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
And I'm going to I'm going to make a guess.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Here and I'm going to link it back to last
segment's commentary, because we know that Disney the corporation is
trying to expand its theme parks and also its real
estate portfolio. They're trying to diversify what they do because
(19:17):
it's not going to be about just movies and television
programming anymore for the Disney Corporation, and they're trying to
broaden what the theme parks do to bring in more people.
That should tell you that the theme park business is
probably not as profitable.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
If you look at Disney's numbers.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
We talked about how the theme park revenue was down
this past year. Theme parks probably are not as profitable
across the board. That's part of the reason why Six
Flags merged with Cedar Point. That's probably why they're going
to be closing down some of these theme parks because
I guess you can say the industry, the amusement park industry,
(20:03):
is not as profitable as it once was. Why Because
we have other places that we can go. There are
other things that we can do. And if you're going
to spend all this money at an amusement park, you're
going to have to make it as appealing as possible
to a wide enough age demographic where everyone would want
(20:25):
to come. Because I remember, and I can't speak for you, Tuala,
after I hit the age about maybe twenty three twenty four,
I didn't have any reason or desire to go to
Disneyland unless unless I had like a girlfriend or someone
I wanted to take along with me.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
That was it.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
It's a small world that too, but I'm saying it
had no real appeal for me. It always had an
appeal for the girlfriend, but it didn't have any appeal
for me. Now it has more of appeal for everyone. After,
Like I hit twenty three twenty four, I was maybe
going to Magic Mountain. That was the only real amusement
(21:06):
park that I was willing to go to. And now
I'm at the age where roller coasters don't appeal to
me at all, so you need to find some other
reason to get me to go. Now, I may go
do the family thing at Disneyland, but if you're offering
more mature options like a Deadpool and Wolverine show, then
(21:27):
I would be more inclined to go. And I think
the strategy here is you can't do the same thing
the same way and expect to attract more people each
year because.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
There are other things.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Look, I would rather stay home and save hundreds of
dollars than go to a theme park which is basically
advertising themselves for just kids. You got to give me something.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think we talked about this off
the mic. If Disneyland, say disney World, was to open
up an adult's only bar, you know, twenty one over bar,
have you know people that work there dressed as flirty
Disney characters that would make a lot of money, you know,
(22:15):
and they don't have to be you know, ying Yang
Twin salt Shaker with it, but it would be really,
really dope if they did something in.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
That vein.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
What what song did you say, ying Yang Twin salt Shaker?
And that is going to rise from the grave and
decapitate both of you could drop it like his eye?
You know you want to see a net drop it
like a eye. Well, she's probably one of the first
you want to see drop it like his eye.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
What's a Britney part of the Mickey Mouse Club? She was,
and look at her.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Today, Christina Aguilera was, But I remember a net.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
A lot of people wanted to shake like.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
That. You know that you're both filthy animals believe we're
even having this kind of Okay, mister.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Small world, it's just me. Okay, hey, you brought that up,
so to speak. Maybe that was the wrong thing to say.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
The new six Flags reported more than twenty one million
guests for the period ending September twenty ninth, twenty twenty four,
with an average guest in park spending of sixty one
dollars and twenty seven cents, which is nothing.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
You can spend sixty.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
One dollars at Disneyland on one meal for two people,
no exaggeration.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Now does this closure? And I've been reading this article,
it wasn't clear. Are they closing six flags or is
Cedar Park closing knots locations because that's the merger.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Well, see that's the thing. It could be either or
both and not sure. That's I think that's why we're
talking about this from a general amusement park standpoint, And
I think the shrinking of the industry has more to
do with what's going on right right now than anything.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
It.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Look, all these things have to evolve or you become obsolete,
and this is the way that they're going to evolve
because they have to reimagine an amusement park, like we
were talking about AMC having to reimagine a movie theater
experience and how movie theaters here's a correlation.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Movie theaters were not about kids anymore. They had to
make it.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
You had alcohol, you had more adult feeling entertainment and
acoutram to get folks in there to spend that money.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Adults love a koutrama spending a coutra Dad, what are
we doing?
Speaker 3 (24:38):
It was corny, but it was funny, Thank you very much.
Six forty WeLive everywhere the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
And from time to time I may ask the guys
in the studio what you're watching. Let me start with this.
I finally got around to starting the Paramount Plus series Lioness.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
It's so good. Oh, it's so good.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
And the best part is I almost never start a
show with season one because I'm always afraid that they're
going to cancel after one season and then I'm emotionally
invested and I have nowhere to go and I'm just
pissed off. But they recently dropped season two, so for me,
it's a good way to start. I could binge two
seasons just about I'll finish season one and you know,
(25:27):
just about the time season two is over. It stars
as Zoe Saldana. It's really really good and yes, and
this is how I know because it has a little
squiggly mark. I can't remember what it is above ye
above the end, and she doesn't always have it on
(25:48):
her name in the credits, but this one it's prominently featured,
so I'm clear that's how she intends for her name
to be pronounced. Because I've been saying Donna forever, but
it's Aldonia. I've been saying missus Ronner. I just avoided
the whole thing. But does the long suffering one know
that quiet?
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Please? You already said it on the air. Does she
doesn't listen? Would she care?
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Because my wife, she always goes on and on about
the rock like I'm like, I'm sitting I'm not gonna
worry about it.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Why we just.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Watched the entire Hell on Wheels series with antson Mount
and uh, his quality as an actor. I got an
ear full about about Anson Mount. My self esteem is in.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Tattered as not as acting but just him right, emphasis
on the mount.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
The reason I was bringing this up is because the
creator of Lioness is the same creator of Tulsa King.
Taylor shared it, so it makes me want to go
back and see what else is Taylor is attached to,
because obviously Taylor knows what I like in television entertainment.
(27:02):
And this is the best part of streaming because Lioness
is violent enough, you're not going to get that on
normal TV. Tulsa King is vulgar enough and violent, You're
not going to get that on regular broadcast TV. So
these are two solid shows, solid shows, And if you
haven't seen Tulsa King, I think you'd really really enjoy it.
(27:24):
It has enough violence for you mark where you need
it to be violent. But also it's well, it's a
gangster tale, but it's set in Tulsa as opposed.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
To New York. Yeah, I'll pick it back up. I
picked back up The Penguin because of the two of
you shamed me into it. I still am not sure
if I'm enjoying it or not, but I think Kristin
Miliotti is terrific.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Yes, yes, just forget that it's connected to anything Batman,
and you'll be fine. If you look at it like
you it's like some Martin scor Sesi gangster drama, you'll enjoy.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
It even more.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
It's her show, though, I mean, they shouldn't even call
it Penguin. She dominates every scene she's in.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
She is not only does she dominate the scene, she
fills up the scene.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
And that's the only way I can describe it.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Her screen presence is so tremendous given how slight her
physical build is.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Yeah, but it's believable.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
One because I'm not really giving in away anything because
they let you know it early on that she's coming
from Arkham Asylum, so you know that she's been through
some stuff and she's willing to do some stuff. And
I don't want to tell you what that stuff is
because they'll let you know. But it's a well written show.
(28:46):
And it's not a comic book show because it's all
about the violence and the vulgarity. It's just a tightly
written gangster drama setne York called another name.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Yeah, we were joking about what Uncle Walt would and
would not approve of. I don't think old Bob Kane
had anything like this in mind.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
No, back when we were kids.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Looking at I think even before our time that all
the covers with the penguin and his and his gadget
umbrellas shooting stuff at Batman and Robin, this is not
that universe.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Look, Colin Ferrell, he's gonna get an Emmy. He has
to get it. He has to, he has to.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
I keep forgetting it's him on always factor is fantastic,
whoever he is I'm like, that's Colin Ferrell in makeup.
It doesn't sound like him, it doesn't look like him. Obviously,
it doesn't move like him. It's like, that's not the
same guy from Minority Report. It just isn't.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
No.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
I agree that it's an interesting performance, but I think
he overdoes it, like a lot of foreigners who don't
completely get American accents, all the all the kind of
phony New York isms and the accent, like like saying
toins instead of turns. It's really overdone to the point
where it pulls me right out.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
That doesn't bother me because I know that it still
is in this universe which doesn't exist.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Ah, this fire in Ventura County, it really boins. Yeah,
I can't stand that. Mark don't stop. But he likes
shows like Kung Fu. I don't get I don't get it.
I don't get it. Don't you even start with me
on Kung Fu Tonight? I won't look at the time.
We gotta go k if I am six forty. We're
lived everywhere. The iHeartRadio app try to tell me what
to do.
Speaker 5 (30:24):
Whatever happens, we have got it covered. K f I
and kost
Speaker 1 (30:30):
HD two los Angeles, Orange County live everywhere on the
art Radio app,
Oh, when moo Kelly.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Sex Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. I wonder if
Australia might be on to something. For as much as
you may complain about social media, as much as I
may complain about social media, I wonder if Australia is
(00:29):
onto something, the Australian government will legislate a ban on
social media for children under the age of sixteen. Can
you imagine an America with no stupid TikTok challenges that
kids are doing, no tide pod challenges.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Can you imagine? No? I can't because we would never
do anything like that.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
But I'm just saying Australia might be on to something,
and if America told the truth, they would agree. Here's
how I know, because as you already have the state
level bands on certain apps like TikTok, you already have
the state regulations where they have to have age verification
(01:16):
in certain states, So you're already there. You as in America,
you already agree with me, but you don't want to
take that next step because of you know, freedom. Australia
is presently trialing an age verification system to assist in
blocking children from accessing social media platforms and This is
(01:39):
just part of a range of measures and it's probably
arguably some of the toughest controls in the world. Quote,
social media is doing harm to our kids and I'm
calling time on it. That's the Prime Minister Anthony Albansia.
And he also cited the risks to physical and mental
health of children from excessive social media use. Yes we
(02:02):
know that, Yes, physical and mental health. Kids sitting around
on social media all damn day mental health, they're maladjusted,
They don't develop the necessary and requisite socialization skills. They
don't know how to talk to anyone, they don't know
how to interact with anyone because they're on their damn
(02:23):
phones all damn day long. And social media is just
a portion of it, but it's a big portion of it.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Quote.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
If you're a fourteen year old kid, getting this stuff
at a time where you're going through life's changes and maturing,
it can be a really difficult time. And what we're
doing is listening and then acting. I don't have any
school aged children, but I can see what school aged
children are doing. I can see how they're acting, how
(02:54):
they are not performing as well as they could or
should in schools. And I defer to you, T Waller,
because you're working with America's youth every single day. But
I know what I see, I know what I'm experiencing.
I know that these kids. Yes I'm broad brushing here,
these kids are way too dependent on social media. They're
(03:15):
way too invested in their phones. And I think that
we're growth. We're not that we're breeding psychopaths and sociopaths,
but we're sure helping it out.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
We are absolutely stunting the growth of America by allowing
young people unfetter time on social media and unfetter time
on their phones. It's bad enough for us as adults
in the addiction that we have with our phones, as
addicted as we are on our phones, just imagine how
(03:48):
much more that is a problem for children whose minds
are maturing, who haven't been able to formulate their own thoughts,
who haven't been able to develop the requisite skills to
communicate and have a real interpersonal relationships with each other
when all they're doing is looking at their phones. I jeez, Louise,
(04:10):
this is one thing. Look, Governor Newsom, if you're doing
anything anything about helping our children, why don't you call
the Prime Minister of Australia and say, hey, so give
me the blueprints for that plan so we can do
that here in California.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
The Communications Minister for Australia, Michelle Roland said, quote, what
we are announcing here and what we will legislate will
truly be truly world leading.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
No argument there. Roland said.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Platforms impacted would be meta platforms, and that's Instagram, Facebook,
as well as Byte Dances, TikTok and also Elon muss x.
It would also impact YouTube, which is a subdivision of
Google and Alphabet and yeah, just about every social media
(05:00):
portal that we all love and use.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
And here's something I want to go back to what
you were saying, Twala.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
It's not just that kids are still developing in a
mental and physical sense that social media I think stunts
that growth. Kids have more time than most adults. I
you know, we have jobs to go to, we have
kids to take care of, we have other responsibilities which
(05:28):
by and large preclude us from just playing on social
media all day. Let's think back to when we were kids.
We never had as much free time then we were kids.
You know, Yeah, you go to school from nine am
to maybe three pm maybe maybe, and then you come home.
(05:48):
In our day, we watch cartoons. Now take off the cartoons.
You put on the phone and you're doing the phone
thing instead, and then you know you may do was
it I think you were telling me Twala that kids
don't have homework anymore for the most part.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Yeah, that's weird. That's so weird the whole day. How
does that work?
Speaker 4 (06:06):
They do everything in school, They do these group lessons,
They have these periods, and the way they're broken down,
you have one entire period dedicated to doing homework.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Because what kids.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Homework at school at school, so at school work, it's schoolwork,
but it's what you would do at home. But because
of the complaints of us parent folk who are saying,
hey man, my kids are up till damn near midnight
doing homework because you're giving them so much there's no
balance in between, they just say, you know what, You're right,
(06:39):
no homework. What we're going to focus on is building
them up in school.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
All right, So let me go back to what I
was saying.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
So they're in school on average maybe eight am to
two o'clock, eight am, nine am to three o'clock something
around there. They come home, they don't have any homework.
They don't have a job. Why because they're twelve thirteen
years old. They may not have any parental supervision. Why
because working folks like Twalla and me and maybe Mark Ronner,
(07:12):
we're usually working and so we may not get home
until some hour late in the evening. Like Twalla Sharpe
will be midnight. I'm not gonna get home until eleven
o'clock at night. Mark Runner, he doesn't go home. He
just sleeps here. I just cruise around after work.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Were you like trolling for pros like taxi driver, just
like Robert de Niro and taxi driver.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Okay, if we're gonna leave that alone.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
But the bottom line is that's I would then argue
that kids have even more unsupervised, unstructured time than we
did as kids, if only because we actually had homework,
we actually had jobs. I don't know if kids have
jobs today like when we were. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
(07:56):
So yeah, So I say all that to say social
media has an outsize level of impact, and I would
say time in which they're occupying kids as opposed to
because our distraction was maybe the Atari video game that
was about it twenty six hundred in television, I had television.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Well at your villa, yeah, we didn't have any of
that stuff. In the winter, we had snowballs and that
was it I had in television and I was not
rich that moment.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Okay, well, if you say so, it's later with mo Kelly,
can if I am six forty live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app And we have a Disney Adult update. Remember
we told you how Disney was moving in a certain
direction because of Deadpool and Wolverine and people were upset
about what was happening at the amusement park. Well, we
have another update and it kind of confirms we were right.
(08:45):
This is not your parents, Disney. This is this is
for the adults, the grown folks. Pretty soon they'll have
sex shows.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Disneyland, once upon a time, at least in the vision
of Walt Disney, was all about the family experience. It
was supposed to be something where it was catered towards
kids and family and not the adult experience. And that's
part of the reason why up until twenty nineteen, Disneyland
(09:21):
was considered a dry park. You couldn't buy alcohol anywhere
except for the exclusive Club thirty three, and we all
know that you can't get into Club thirty three without
really knowing someone. It wasn't available to the public, so
you couldn't go to Disneyland and get liquored up inside
the park. Now people have brought in liquor and got
(09:44):
liquored up, but you couldn't purchase alcohol. That was up
until twenty nineteen, and all of it started to change,
especially at Star Wars Galaxy Edge. The first bar Ogu's
Cantina opened in nineteen and.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
It serves some alcohol.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
And I don't remember the year, it might have been
the same year, but Blue Bayou Restaurant they served these
Hurricane cocktails and beer and wine. How do I know
because I got liquored up on them when I went
to Disneyland two three years ago. All right, So I
know alcohol has become more and more plentiful at Disneyland.
(10:25):
And to that end, they've added alcoholic beverages to another
restaurant and it's going to be available at the Docking
Base seven Food and Cargo in Star Wars Galaxies Edge
for guests who purchased the nighttime gathering Fireworks dining package,
which starts at eighty nine dollars per guest. It includes food,
(10:48):
a specialty drink in a souvenir cup, unlimited fountain drinks,
and premium fireworks viewing at the Falcon Overlook patio.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
But that aside.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
The real story is there is more alcohol which is
being served at Disneyland, and they're moving away from the
quote unquote family friendly amusement park experience. Why because they're
trying to appeal to a wider swath of would be attendees.
I know that there are a lot of fathers out there,
(11:18):
and I'm not gonna blame mothers, but I'd say fathers
who dread going to Disneyland with the family. They got
two or three kids. They're getting on their freaking nerves.
They won't shut up, they won't get tired. And I
know the dad is saying, gosh, I just wish I
could have a drink, And Disney understands that, and now
they're offering more alcohol, and I'm with it. I'm glad
(11:43):
that Disney is now coming into the twenty first century.
There's profanity at Disneyland. You have Deadpool and Wolverine, you
have inappropriate sexual remarks in a Deadpool and Wolverine show.
I look I like it. For me, Disneyland was always
an adult park. All what I did on Small World
with someone who I'm not going to use their real
(12:04):
name on the radio with it's an adult theme park.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Small World though, huh not the matter horn give it
to them.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
We'll wait, Okay.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
All I know is there were some very angry people
at me on Small World when I was on there
with my girlfriend, completely inappropriate behavior. And back in the
day Small World. Since you mentioned it was a much
darker ride, I was going to say the lights were
really down and maybe.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Because of hooligans like me, they changed it. Uh.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
There was a what was it called the people Mover
I think it was, Yeah, the tram.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
It was.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
It was kind of it was kind of like a trumpet.
It was also like a ride. Yeah, it was like
a ride. All I can say is grad Night nineteen
eighty seven. That was the night that I figured out
that there's no ride that they can't see you.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Because someone spoke over.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
The intercom system with the camera and they say, hey, hey,
you guys, stop doing that.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Were you going for the full Bobert look?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
You know how they have the mile high Club. This
was like the sixty foot high Club.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Okay, we were getting it in.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
So when you hear the voice of gods, I'm like, hey, hey, hey,
stop doing that.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Get that out of there. Yeah, you can't hide from
the Disney Gods.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Yes, they're everywhere, And I can only imagine what the
technology is like now. They probably got like a heat
signatures and everything. They know where you are and what
you're doing. To see the silhouette of two people getting
it in black lights.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Next yeah, next day, after the fact, when they try
to clean the Uncle Walt would be ashamed of you. Ashamed. No,
I think he would. Actually.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
The serious point is Walt Disney probably would not approve
of what Disneyland has turned into now. And I think
that's a function of it just being a corporation which
cares less about art and more about money, where Walt
Disney was about the art of it all. Yes, it
was a business, but I don't think that was the
driving force for what he was creating with Disneyland.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
It was all about the fantasy.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
It was all about the experience for the child originally,
and now it's turned into a playground of sorts.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Which is catering to a wider range of ages.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
If you ever go to Downtown Disney, which is pretty
much a part of Disneyland, you can't leave the Disneyland
Hotel and you know this, to Wala, you have to
go through Downtown Disney because they want to make sure
that you have every opportunity to spend money. There's nothing
but adult stuff there. Bars, it's a bar scene. It's
(14:59):
basically a club in Miami. That's what it looks like,
that's what it feels like. And the only thing they're
missing are women in thongs. But I'm holding out against hope.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Hmmm, I don't think that's coming what.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
I'm the only one who wants to see some some
jiggling and some wiggling at Disneyland.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
I don't know if I want.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Uncle Walt wouldn't give you high fives for that. He
didn't want that.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
He didn't want it. But he's he's dead.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Look everything that's going on to Disneyland now, he wouldn't
want any parts of I think he would probably look
upon Star Wars and Avengers and Marvel as an abomination, honestly,
because that's not Disney that's just a property that was purchased.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
And they folded into Disneyland. Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Yeah. I don't think Uncle Walt would have been down
with Deadpool. No, no, I don't think he would.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Have liked Star Wars at all at all, because it's
just it's Disney only by purchase, not by idea. It
wasn't originally Disney, and it was not speaking to the
same market as Disneyland. Disneyland in twenty twenty four looks
nothing like Disneyland in the early nineteen seventies when I
first started going, not because of the rides and attractions.
(16:12):
It's more a function of who Disneyland is trying to
reach to get them to spend their money, as in
all of their money.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
So Disneyland needs to listen to me. Since the going down.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
The alcohol alcohol route, they might as well just go
all the way in.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
You just coind a new word alcohol.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Because I was trying to get ready to go somewhere
and it evolves holes and I got there too fast.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
But my point is you got to You got to
the whole too fast. Yeah, the alcohol. You got to
the alcohol. Yeah, it's like Caddyshack, is it?
Speaker 5 (16:47):
The whole?
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Look at the time. Can I get one more? No,
thank you very much?
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Can't I a six forty live everywhere in the iHeartRadio
app So alcohol Disneyland. I want someone from Disneyland who's
listening right now, because they are listening. Don't dismiss out
of hand the whole strip club thong attraction.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Uncle Walt didn't want anybody to make it rain. Okay, Look,
a lot of money is spent in a strip club
a lot, and Small World was originally a very dark ride.
He knew that he did it for a reason. He
did it for a reason. Shake it like a salt shaker.
Shake it like a salt shaker, Small World.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Set your new pillow.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Talk now, hey baby, you want to take a trip
to Small World?
Speaker 3 (17:38):
No no, no, no, no, no no. Do you know
what I mean by assault shaker? We gotta go. It's
to do.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
I want you to find yin Yang Twins salt Shaker.
We'll play it for Mark when we come back. I
don't need it, you know, you know you do need
it in your life.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on Demand from
KFI AM six four.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Let's stay in the Realm of Theme Parks six Flags
is considering closing parks all across the country after its
recent merger with Cedar Point and Cedar Point as the
parent company of the Six Flags Magic Mountain. They're saying,
we don't need all these amusement parks anymore. So if
(18:22):
you've been to maybe Six Flags over Texas or Magic Mountain,
those parks, we don't know what is going to happen
in the future. They don't need all forty two of them.
And in a report published on Wednesday, SFEC provided a
rough outline for its long range plan titled Project Accelerate,
(18:43):
and the project promised a comprehensive review of the portfolio
to evaluate the potential divestiture of non core assets to
help reduce leverage.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
And I'm going to I'm going to make a guess.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Here and I'm going to link it back to last
segment's commentary, because we know that Disney the corporation is
trying to expand its theme parks and also its real
estate portfolio. They're trying to diversify what they do because
(19:17):
it's not going to be about just movies and television
programming anymore for the Disney Corporation, and they're trying to
broaden what the theme parks do to bring in more people.
That should tell you that the theme park business is
probably not as profitable.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
If you look at Disney's numbers.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
We talked about how the theme park revenue was down
this past year. Theme parks probably are not as profitable
across the board. That's part of the reason why Six
Flags merged with Cedar Point. That's probably why they're going
to be closing down some of these theme parks because
I guess you can say the industry, the amusement park industry,
(20:03):
is not as profitable as it once was. Why Because
we have other places that we can go. There are
other things that we can do. And if you're going
to spend all this money at an amusement park, you're
going to have to make it as appealing as possible
to a wide enough age demographic where everyone would want
(20:25):
to come. Because I remember, and I can't speak for you, Tuala,
after I hit the age about maybe twenty three twenty four,
I didn't have any reason or desire to go to
Disneyland unless unless I had like a girlfriend or someone
I wanted to take along with me.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
That was it.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
It's a small world that too, but I'm saying it
had no real appeal for me. It always had an
appeal for the girlfriend, but it didn't have any appeal
for me. Now it has more of appeal for everyone. After,
Like I hit twenty three twenty four, I was maybe
going to Magic Mountain. That was the only real amusement
(21:06):
park that I was willing to go to. And now
I'm at the age where roller coasters don't appeal to
me at all, so you need to find some other
reason to get me to go. Now, I may go
do the family thing at Disneyland, but if you're offering
more mature options like a Deadpool and Wolverine show, then
(21:27):
I would be more inclined to go. And I think
the strategy here is you can't do the same thing
the same way and expect to attract more people each
year because.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
There are other things.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Look, I would rather stay home and save hundreds of
dollars than go to a theme park which is basically
advertising themselves for just kids. You got to give me something.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think we talked about this off
the mic. If Disneyland, say disney World, was to open
up an adult's only bar, you know, twenty one over bar,
have you know people that work there dressed as flirty
Disney characters that would make a lot of money, you know,
(22:15):
and they don't have to be you know, ying Yang
Twin salt Shaker with it, but it would be really,
really dope if they did something in.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
That vein.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
What what song did you say, ying Yang Twin salt Shaker?
And that is going to rise from the grave and
decapitate both of you could drop it like his eye?
You know you want to see a net drop it
like a eye. Well, she's probably one of the first
you want to see drop it like his eye.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
What's a Britney part of the Mickey Mouse Club? She was,
and look at her.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Today, Christina Aguilera was, But I remember a net.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
A lot of people wanted to shake like.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
That. You know that you're both filthy animals believe we're
even having this kind of Okay, mister.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Small world, it's just me. Okay, hey, you brought that up,
so to speak. Maybe that was the wrong thing to say.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
The new six Flags reported more than twenty one million
guests for the period ending September twenty ninth, twenty twenty four,
with an average guest in park spending of sixty one
dollars and twenty seven cents, which is nothing.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
You can spend sixty.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
One dollars at Disneyland on one meal for two people,
no exaggeration.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Now does this closure? And I've been reading this article,
it wasn't clear. Are they closing six flags or is
Cedar Park closing knots locations because that's the merger.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Well, see that's the thing. It could be either or
both and not sure. That's I think that's why we're
talking about this from a general amusement park standpoint, And
I think the shrinking of the industry has more to
do with what's going on right right now than anything.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
It.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Look, all these things have to evolve or you become obsolete,
and this is the way that they're going to evolve
because they have to reimagine an amusement park, like we
were talking about AMC having to reimagine a movie theater
experience and how movie theaters here's a correlation.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Movie theaters were not about kids anymore. They had to
make it.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
You had alcohol, you had more adult feeling entertainment and
acoutram to get folks in there to spend that money.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Adults love a koutrama spending a coutra Dad, what are
we doing?
Speaker 3 (24:38):
It was corny, but it was funny, Thank you very much.
Six forty WeLive everywhere the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
And from time to time I may ask the guys
in the studio what you're watching. Let me start with this.
I finally got around to starting the Paramount Plus series Lioness.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
It's so good. Oh, it's so good.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
And the best part is I almost never start a
show with season one because I'm always afraid that they're
going to cancel after one season and then I'm emotionally
invested and I have nowhere to go and I'm just
pissed off. But they recently dropped season two, so for me,
it's a good way to start. I could binge two
seasons just about I'll finish season one and you know,
(25:27):
just about the time season two is over. It stars
as Zoe Saldana. It's really really good and yes, and
this is how I know because it has a little
squiggly mark. I can't remember what it is above ye
above the end, and she doesn't always have it on
(25:48):
her name in the credits, but this one it's prominently featured,
so I'm clear that's how she intends for her name
to be pronounced. Because I've been saying Donna forever, but
it's Aldonia. I've been saying missus Ronner. I just avoided
the whole thing. But does the long suffering one know
that quiet?
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Please? You already said it on the air. Does she
doesn't listen? Would she care?
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Because my wife, she always goes on and on about
the rock like I'm like, I'm sitting I'm not gonna
worry about it.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Why we just.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Watched the entire Hell on Wheels series with antson Mount
and uh, his quality as an actor. I got an
ear full about about Anson Mount. My self esteem is in.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Tattered as not as acting but just him right, emphasis
on the mount.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
The reason I was bringing this up is because the
creator of Lioness is the same creator of Tulsa King.
Taylor shared it, so it makes me want to go
back and see what else is Taylor is attached to,
because obviously Taylor knows what I like in television entertainment.
(27:02):
And this is the best part of streaming because Lioness
is violent enough, you're not going to get that on
normal TV. Tulsa King is vulgar enough and violent, You're
not going to get that on regular broadcast TV. So
these are two solid shows, solid shows, And if you
haven't seen Tulsa King, I think you'd really really enjoy it.
(27:24):
It has enough violence for you mark where you need
it to be violent. But also it's well, it's a
gangster tale, but it's set in Tulsa as opposed.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
To New York. Yeah, I'll pick it back up. I
picked back up The Penguin because of the two of
you shamed me into it. I still am not sure
if I'm enjoying it or not, but I think Kristin
Miliotti is terrific.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Yes, yes, just forget that it's connected to anything Batman,
and you'll be fine. If you look at it like
you it's like some Martin scor Sesi gangster drama, you'll enjoy.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
It even more.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
It's her show, though, I mean, they shouldn't even call
it Penguin. She dominates every scene she's in.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
She is not only does she dominate the scene, she
fills up the scene.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
And that's the only way I can describe it.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Her screen presence is so tremendous given how slight her
physical build is.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Yeah, but it's believable.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
One because I'm not really giving in away anything because
they let you know it early on that she's coming
from Arkham Asylum, so you know that she's been through
some stuff and she's willing to do some stuff. And
I don't want to tell you what that stuff is
because they'll let you know. But it's a well written show.
(28:46):
And it's not a comic book show because it's all
about the violence and the vulgarity. It's just a tightly
written gangster drama setne York called another name.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Yeah, we were joking about what Uncle Walt would and
would not approve of. I don't think old Bob Kane
had anything like this in mind.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
No, back when we were kids.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Looking at I think even before our time that all
the covers with the penguin and his and his gadget
umbrellas shooting stuff at Batman and Robin, this is not
that universe.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Look, Colin Ferrell, he's gonna get an Emmy. He has
to get it. He has to, he has to.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
I keep forgetting it's him on always factor is fantastic,
whoever he is I'm like, that's Colin Ferrell in makeup.
It doesn't sound like him, it doesn't look like him. Obviously,
it doesn't move like him. It's like, that's not the
same guy from Minority Report. It just isn't.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
No.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
I agree that it's an interesting performance, but I think
he overdoes it, like a lot of foreigners who don't
completely get American accents, all the all the kind of
phony New York isms and the accent, like like saying
toins instead of turns. It's really overdone to the point
where it pulls me right out.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
That doesn't bother me because I know that it still
is in this universe which doesn't exist.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Ah, this fire in Ventura County, it really boins. Yeah,
I can't stand that. Mark don't stop. But he likes
shows like Kung Fu. I don't get I don't get it.
I don't get it. Don't you even start with me
on Kung Fu Tonight? I won't look at the time.
We gotta go k if I am six forty. We're
lived everywhere. The iHeartRadio app try to tell me what
to do.
Speaker 5 (30:24):
