Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty, and say.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
What you want about Jake Paul. And we said a
lot about Jake Paul last night. He is making googabs
of money and I know he does not care about
what anyone thinks as long as his bank account gets fatter.
Here's something that you do not know, or maybe did
not know. You may have watched Jake Paul Mike Tyson,
(00:30):
and you watched it on Netflix, but there were thousands
upon thousands of people who actually paid to see it
in person at at and T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
The gate net was eighteen point one million dollars net.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I did say gross.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
I said net of eighteen million, which is a US
record or a boxing or MMA event held outside of
Las Vegas.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
And we had boxing.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Events all over the world, We had MMA events all
over the world, but nothing approaching the gate of eighteen
point one million dollars. More than seventy two thousand, three
hundred fans were in attendance. And get this, I barely
(01:29):
watched the fight and it was included as part of
my subscription, and I had to lie to myself convince
myself that I needed to see this fight as if
it was a part of the news cycle and for
me to stay informed, I needed to stay abreast of
this fight, and I needed to watch it so I
could speak about it competently.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
That was the lie I told myself.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
But there were seventy two thousand people who actually paid
to get in. The average ticket price for those seventy
two thousand than three hundred people the average in other words,
some tickets were much higher, some were lower, but the
average ticket price was three hundred and four dollars. Three
hundred four dollars for the privilege the opportunity to watch
(02:14):
that horrible boxing exhibition in person. And if you've ever
seen the AT and T Stadium, it is cavernous. Unless
you're in the first five rows, you really don't have
a great sideline. You're not going to get a good
view of the fight. And those tickets were probably three
thousand dollars, not three hundred and four dollars, So you
(02:37):
paid probably top dollar to see the fight from a
worse vantage point than if you were at home watching
it via Netflix. But more than seventy two thousand, three
hundred people were in attendance.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Let's talk about streaming.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Netflix and MVP, the promotion company Responsible reported yesterday, excuse
me earlier today that the fight was the most streamed
sporting event ever, the most streamed sporting event ever, and
it was an ass competition. I mean, literally, did you
see Mike Tyson walking around in his song?
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I didn't need to see that.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I didn't want to see that, and I didn't need
to see thousands of people posting it and reposting it
and sharing it and sending to me on social media.
I didn't need to see that much of Mike Tyson,
not then, not now. I don't need that visual burned
into my brain. No, thank you very much. I'm quite
sure Mark Runners saw it, and he's not even a
(03:39):
sports fan. He didn't even want to see the fight.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
No.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
I like boxing, but it was kind of kind of
like an eyebrow raiser when you first saw Tyson's ass,
because it's like that scene in Animal House where you
don't realize that Donald Sutherland's not wearing any pants.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
It almost seemed like it was a bit in a movie,
and the joke was Mike Tyson walking away. Mike Tyson
clearly knew he had no pants on.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
I think he did know, yes.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
And he still did the interview and it turned around.
It threw both butt cheeks to the campus.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
That was a complete Benny Hill routine. We just had.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Surreal but the most streamed live sporting event of all time.
You can say what you want about Jake Paul, but
from a business standpoint, you can't say anything bad about him.
In fact, it peaked at sixty five million concurrent streams,
so if it was buffering, that's why sixty five million
(04:39):
concurrent streams with an estimated average minute audience of one
hundred and eight million live viewers worldwide. I don't know
what the deal looked like on paper, but I'm quite
sure there were tears. If it hits this strata, he
would make X amount of dollars, If it hits this
many viewers, it'd hit get a bonus of X amount
(05:00):
of dollars. He made money on top of money. Well,
didn't Jake Paul make forty million bucks? Yes, but that's
probably you think that's just a space pay. Yeah, there
have to be contractual incentives. I mean, he's not only
going to get forty million if he has one hundred
million people tuning in as opposed to forty five million
tuning in.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Well, yeah, and also, how can you scrape by on
just forty million? He doesn't have to scrape by, he doesn't.
I would get in the ring with him for what
Tyson got. I think Tyson got twenty.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
He got twenty, and it makes me think what would
I do? Because I would be the laughing stock of
forever if I got in a ring. You know, look,
I'm almost fifty five years old. I'm not Mike Tyson,
but I'm almost like Tyson in age, so there's no
way in the world I would actually do it. But
(05:49):
for twenty million, I'll have the conversation with you. I
would have to begin hundred. It has to be guaranteed.
It's not like I'm not doing any prop bet where
if I make could pass the fourth round.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
It has to be in my account before I step
in the ring, because I need to have the money
just in case they have to take me to the
hospital and I got brain damage. Everything has to be
in order. I think is as fat as he looked.
I think I'd stand an okay chance.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
I don't overestimate myself like that if I were in
my thirties, Jake Paul.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Yep, he's like six. Hey, look it up for me. Stefan.
I think he's like sixty three two forty right now.
Something ridiculous to me. That equals slow.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Yeah, but he's twenty seven years old, he's not fifty four.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
There's a difference. For twenty million bucks. I'd risk it. Yeah,
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
I tell you there's a idle heel as fast now
so oh no, not at your age, you know, six sixty.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
One two twenty seven to twenty seven. Okay, that's manageable.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
If I had six week's training, I might do it
for twenty million, but I I would need some other guarantees.
I would need more than just the money because it's
a one time thing. You know, people have died in
the Ring. I need a little bit more than twenty million.
I need generational wealth.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Wait, how many people outside of the Rocky franchise have
actually died in the Ring.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
A number, a number. Ray Boom boom Man c killed
a fighter. There have been fighters who've ended up incapacitated.
Gerald McClellan, I'm just taking off the top of my head.
There have been a number of fighters, and I see
Stephan looking up right now.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
No, it's okay, I'm just not interested in the BodyCount
of Yvonne Drago. Okay.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Over eighteen hundred and seventy six boxers have died since
eighteen ninety, including fifty five professional boxers and twenty six
amateur boxers.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
So if you're going back to the Marquis of Queensberry,
of course, but no.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
But the bottom line is that breaks breaks down to
a little less than one a year. It's and that's
not saying any of the fighters you can tell who
are punch drunk or suffering from Parkinson's or some sort
of congenitive decline, cognitive decline. No, no, that's why I
(08:13):
need like the generational wealth to make sure twenty million
sign me up.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Okay, too bad, no one would pay you that.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
But you know, no, no, you can be you can
be the Burgess Meredith to to my Rocky Well. Burgess
Meredith died of a heart attack in Rocky three. So
that's fine, I'll learn which movie are we talking. I'll
find a way to live without you eventually.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Okay, So we'll talk about Rocky one, Rocky two or
Rocky three. Well, let's not get hung up on the details.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Look at the time kf I AM six forty WeLive
everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
With six Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. And there's
going to be another statue erected outside of let's call
(09:10):
it what it is, Staple Center. Crypto dot com arena
doesn't flow off the tongue this easily, so it's going
to be Staple Center. And here is a pop quiz
for my non sports fans in the studio and Tuala,
I think you should take a try at this as well,
because I don't know if any of you can do it.
And the question is, without googling, can you name the
(09:35):
existing statues outside Staple Center before I tell you about
the new statue which is going to be put up
outside Staple Center.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Let's see Rowdy Roddy Piper wrong, what, Nope, Nope, And
I'll give you a hit.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
All of them Lakers, all the Lakers, Lakers connected to
the Lakers, Jerry Buss, Magic Johnson.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Wait, wait, wait, Kobe Bryant, yes.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Magic Johnson, Yes, Jerry Buss No, no, no, Jerry Buss
doesn't have a statue out there, not as of yet.
It's hard to do the hair in a statue. Hey, man,
I saw the show. No, we'll get to that. We'll
get to that. Hey, because these statues really struggle at
getting the face.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Accurate. Hey, that statue of.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Yeah, that is god awful. So Madge Johnson, Yes, Kobe Bryant, Yes,
who else?
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Oh, shack shack a gosh darted. Oh yeah, they're plenty more.
Think about the biggest and most famous people that ever.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Does Kareem have a statue out there? Yes he does,
he does.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Larry Berdy played with the Celtics Lakers.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
They're not gonna they're.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Not gonna put up a Larry Bird statue outside of
a Staple Center slash Crypto dot com or even go
and see the.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
The Kareem abdul Jabbar statue.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Yeah, so, Kareem, Magic, uh, Kobe Shaquille.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Those are the ones you've gotten. Four.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
There's another few that you're forgetting two, three, there's three
that you're forgetting before we get to this new one,
which is going to go up. I mean, I know
for a fact they don't have a statue of fish.
No they don't, but we're talking about who they do.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
So the fish did say Pittsburgh, LA.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
You need some hints? Worthy? No he does not, but
that's not a bad Worthy doesn't have one. No he
does not. WHOA?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
So how about this, who's the greatest basketball announcer of
all times?
Speaker 3 (11:54):
All time? Chick hern has a statue? Yes he does? Really,
that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
And that's that's not his jersey with a microphone is
retired up on the rafters inside the arena.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
I like that. Okay. So we have Shaquille.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Hick, Hearn, Kobe Bryant, Matthew Johnson, Kareem abdul Jabbar. They're
too that you are forgetting and you probably won't get
either because you don't Jennie Buss give herself a statue. No,
make sure, I'll just sure. Here's a hint. The logo
for the NBA.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Yeah, you don't know. Oh, you know what? You know what?
You know what? I know?
Speaker 2 (12:35):
I messed up, I said, I said, Jerry bust that's
what I'm thinking of. That's who I thought I when
you said the logo, I thought, Oh, that's what he
That's what I thought. Yes, no, no, no, uh no, no,
don't don't say it. Don't say oh no no, no,
oh my god. I don't know why Jerry Budd logo.
I know I that's why I thought in my mind
for some another hint.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Oh no, no, no, no, no. I know his hair, I
know the face. I know the guy. I know the guy.
He recently passed away. As a matter of no, I
know the guy.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Not not North, No, look, not sorry West. Yes, I
said Jerry Buss. I've met Jerry West, but they're two
very different. I know.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
I know Bus is the owner, Wes is the man. Yeah,
that's what.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
That's what I meant when I said that, And I
thought I had that down right. But yes, Wes, now
this one more. I'm just because he was part of
it for so long.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Phil Jackson, No, no, I would have liked that.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Guess you're not going to guess the last one. So
I'm going to, you know, put you out of your misery.
It's Elgin Baylor Wow before Worthy. Well yeah, because Worthy,
I'm not going to get her that. But okay, if
there's someone else who's connected with the Lakers success, and Showtime.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Is there any name which would come to mind? Twaalder.
You probably know this because you've seen the story.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Yeah, but I thought Fushia's guests would have been up there.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Okay, well here it is.
Speaker 5 (14:00):
The coach who helped guide the Showtime era Lakers will
be honored with a statue outside of Crypto dot Com arena.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
No, no, no, it's Staple Center.
Speaker 6 (14:10):
Camerena.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
No Stable Center, Crypto dot Comerena, no Stable Center.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Get it right, stay with me, Staple Crypto dot Com.
No no, no, no, it's Aitcrrypto dot com is the
wrong name.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
It's Staple Center Crypto dot Com Arena.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
Pat Riley coached the Lakers to four NBA titles. He
also won a title as a player with the Lakers
in nineteen seventy two. An unveiling date from the statue
has not yet been announced.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Riley with his trademark slicked back hair and his well
tailored suits, I'm quite sure that will be this. If
I were to make a guess, that would be the
statue because that's what he was known for. His style
as a coach. He was very stylished on the sidelines. Yes,
he's a player with the Lakers. Yes, he won to
(15:00):
ring with the Lakers, but he's best known as for
the clip the Four Championships.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
It's part of showtime.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
So they'll probably put him in a suit and they'll
probably mess up his face.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
They can't get the face right. I don't I don't
get it. I don't get and I'm not so sure.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I even liked statues just hang their banner, but the statues,
they just never get it right.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Ever.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Ever, Yeah, because even outside of sports, isn't one of
the more famous ones that they are infamous ones that
they messed up was mister Rogers. Well, and it's made
fun of, like left and right, just about everyone in sports.
There are very few which you get it right now.
Shack has a very good statue. It shows him donkey
to hanging on the rim, so it's less about his
(15:44):
face but more the action. But the one with Dwayne
Wade was horrible. You know, they're they're just they're just
not often accurate. I thought that Wayne Gretzky's statue, the
face was really Wayne.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
That was a bad one. Face was really really jacked up.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
So, you know, and for me it got me thinking,
would I want a statue outside of iHeartMedia when all
of a sudden done, No, I maybe want my stop laughing.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Trying to be funny. I'd want to bust.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
They get those right more times than that. Yeah, they
get it right at like the football, Pro Football Hall
of Fame, Baseball Hall of Fame. But when it comes
to the full body statue, not so much. Not even
the wax Museum. They're getting less and less accurate. But
as too, I was saying, as I was self aggrandizing myself,
I don't know if I would want a statue. I
think i'd want my name on the side of a building. No,
(16:35):
I would do that, But I don't need to be remembered.
It's just a little bit too much, even for my ego.
A whole statue of me, that's like, that's like almost
like worship.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
I don't need you to worship me. I don't need
you to even remember me.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
I'm I'm actually not all that concerned about how people
will remember me when I'm gone.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Say what you want, I'm going to you, Mike Tyson, No,
I'm just serious. It's trash.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
I just never care about that. I don't need the statue.
I don't need the building with my name on the side.
Although it would be kind of cool, but I would
want to be around to see it. I don't want
it done posthumously. You're dead, You're gone, You're dead. No
one kids. It's like untouchables. I can't do one. You
(17:19):
basically just want final approval. Yeah, yeah, I could get
I can understand that. Yeah, but I don't need the
actual statue. Yeah, you know, hang my jersey and the
rafters of KFI. That's what i'd want, That's what I want.
But I wouldn't need a whole like a bust or
even a full body statue. When you'd walk up to
the glass double doors, that'd be a bit much. Maybe
(17:42):
inside the glass double doors, maybe they had like a
some sort of neon sign.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Or you can name a bench after me, you know
the benches they have outside. How about a public toilet?
No no, no, not a public toilet.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
No no, mister mo Kelly, public toilet now, I don't
want people putting their ass on my face.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Can't six forty we're live everywhere the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
kf I.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
A M six forty. I'd like to buy the world
a home and furnish it with along grow up on
trees and things.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
So turtled.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
I like to teach the world to say.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Thing with me, county.
Speaker 6 (18:50):
To buy the world.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Come me. Can't find Kelly.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. If you're of
a certain age, you maybe remember that commercial. It's called
the Hilltop Ad. Of course people remember the song, but
the commercial itself was filmed on top of a hill
and they're about maybe one to two hundred people in
that ad. And since it was the early nineteen seventies,
no one had to worry whether it was AI. No
(19:27):
one needed to worry if there were some sort of
CGI adding people to the commercial.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
They were all real.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
The reason I played that commercial is yesterday Coca Cola
just dropped a holiday ad. And if you're following me
on threads at mister mo'kelly, I just posted it there.
You may not know this outside of me telling you,
but every single thing that you see in that Coca
Cola ad is AI. Every single quote unquote person, everything
(20:01):
that you see in that ad is not real. It's incredible,
but it's not real. For all the fights that sag
After had about making sure that TV shows would not
be using AI to create scripts or take over roles.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
On TV shows or movies.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Well, it doesn't stop AI from just creating wholesale creating
complete concepts like a commercial using nobody, absolutely nobody in
the creation of the content of the ad. No actors,
no actresses, no nothing, just a computer generated spot of
(20:54):
a minute long. And if you're wondering why Coca Cola
is doing that, well it's it's for the obvious reason.
It's for the reason that any company would want to
use AI. It's because it makes everything that a company
would do less expensive. They don't have to pay actors,
(21:16):
they don't have to pay really a director per se.
They just need to have someone with computer capabilities.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Always the real thing. Huh.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
Coca Cola out with a new set of holiday ads.
The catch everything from Santa to the people, to the
trucks to the animals. Literally everything you see in here
is AI generated. A spokesperson for Coca Cola heralding the
ads as quote efficient and cost.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Saving, efficient and saving.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
They can create that from a desktop computer and not
have to pay anybody, no residuals, just pay for the
creation of it and keep it pushing to Walla's been
in a commercial.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
He knows this better than I do.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
They can pay you a flat fee, but still it's
a flat fee that they didn't have to pay anyone
in this. Yeah, no flat fee or no option for
residual if this is gonna be a commercial that runs
you know, all HASH season nationally, anything like that. Yeah,
this is the unseen hand that many actors and actresses
(22:41):
were fighting against because there wasn't enough detail put into
the sag After contract in order to say no, you
cannot only not just digitally reproduce me or anyone in
the scene without our say so, you also have to
(23:02):
have some level of real people in an ad, or
you have to say this is a AI generated ad
something some things that I know I believe I'm paraphrasing,
but Justine Bateman was saying like, look, there's not enough
in this contract to really keep this what Coca Cola
did from happening. You can't stop this. You can't stop
(23:26):
companies from creating on their own. There's nothing preventing them
from doing it. This was inevitable. Now, I know Mark
hates us saying that it's inevitable and we should fight
the power and push back. But you know, there's a
complicated conversation where we can talk about capitalism doing what
capitalism does, and capitalism is about expanding revenue and contracting expenditures.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
This is what AI is going to do. Now.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Mark may take the standpoint that the position that AI
can't really create anything, well, it's doing a pretty good,
pretty good job here. And I posted the commercial if
you want to see it for yourself on my threads
account at mister m'kelly you can see it. There nothing
that you see in that ad from Santa Sleigh to
(24:13):
any of the people. Air quotes in the commercial are real,
and I think they figured out the hand thing because
it's not easily discernible that it's AI.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
It's more than passable.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
And if you didn't tell me it was AI, I
would have assumed it was people with a whole lot
of CGI, because I don't believe there's an actual real
sled flying around, so I think CGI. But as far
as the people are concerned, air quotes look real enough
to me.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Mark the dog los oh, it's all slop. It's slop.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
And you know, if you really want to use a
metaphor that I think is accurate. It's like sex with
a blow up doll. Maybe sometimes it'll do in a pinch,
but in general everybody can tell it's vastly inferior to
the real thing.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
I wouldn't say so in this In this instance, you
want to expand on the blow up doll part. No, no, no,
I'm actually trying to be serious here, if only because
when you're doing a commercial like this, it to do
this commercial you would need CGI. Okay, you don't need
people in this particular commercial.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
The only thing you needed was CGI.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
And so I don't know that sure, because we don't
know how much post production humans put into this. I
have a feeling that this wasn't somebody just saying, hey,
generate me this fun commercial and that gave you what
you saw. I think there were people involved on the
front and the back end of this, and it's not
as seamless a thing as you think.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
No, I didn't say it was seamless. I'm saying, go ahead, twell,
you're getting read to jump in and oh yeah, I
was gonna say, potentially, Mark, potentially there were still a
crew of people who did the actual animating and things
like that. But to look at this ad, even if
it was a CGI or AI created ad, it's no
(26:06):
different looking at least from the old Coca Cola ad
where the polar bears got a hold of the cokeine
we're drinking is and a CGI animated one that people did.
All this ad looks like they were allowed to do
is probably downsize the number of people. Even if there
were people involved, you're not talking a team of twenty animators.
(26:29):
You're talking like two guys with a with a chromebook.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Well, I mean a chrome book.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
The thing that I always have to come back to
is that the only people asking for the CGI slop
are the ones hoping to save money by not paying
professionals to work. And the CGA or the AI rather,
it can't function without stealing other people's work. You'll never
get an original piece of art from AI. And whether
whether or not the commercials art, that's a whole other conversation, right, But.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Commercials aren't going for art. Commercials are trying to get
you to buy something. And if they can get you
to buy something without spending I don't know, five hundred
thousand dollars to create a commercial and have to pay
in perpetuity when it comes to residuals. I understand the
mathematical and business calculation being made here. I'm not saying
I like it. I'm saying I get it. I get it.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Have you checked out the commercial? Mark?
Speaker 2 (27:23):
I would love to get your first hand account of
what it looks like, because if you didn't tell me,
I wouldn't know.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
It's just a commercial.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
I saw it there to go on my little iPhone
screen and I just thought, well, it doesn't look significantly
different than anything we've seen, But what's the ultimate cost
of this? Was there a problem with the previous ones?
Speaker 3 (27:45):
No, I mean.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Mark getting much now? There was a problem with the
original ad. What the polar Bear wasn't on a shrinking
ice flow? The problem associated with higher the staff and
having all those people in the ability to churn out
this ad that you're going to run in Super Bowl
or wherever.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
The cost associated.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Are you talking about the philosophical cost to our community
as opposed to a Whitney's commercial with a with a
real old woman saying where's the beef?
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Well, I mean, yes, you're a little too high minded here.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
I think for it's a commercial, it's not a polemic novel.
Speaker 5 (28:30):
No.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
I want to know what's real and what's not, and
whether it's a commercial or a film. The whole point
of all of that is to connect with other people.
And you know, I can take an AI just giving
me a message saying buy this drink. It is imperative.
That's fine with me. But I want to know what's
real and what isn't. And I want to know what's
generated by people and what isn't. And nobody, you know,
(28:56):
nobody's going to watch an AI generated movie of your
TV show. You'll have, you know, like the low end
of the bell curve of people watching it. I'll bet
you good money you're wrong. You are going to be
wishing for save the cat formula garbage the second you
see any shows.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Generating if world where TikTok rules, you bet your ass
they will watch an AI generated movie and they will
have kids. When I say kids, young adults, making them
in their own garage, putting them up on social media,
and making millions of dollars on YouTube or wherever.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
There are ways that it will democratize the process of creativity.
But there's a cost to all of that.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we got to go to break I know,
run away, run Away, Mark, run Away, that's right, it's
Later with mokel k if I AM six forty live
everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Because Mark was filibustering last segment, trying to take up
all the time in a segment. We don't have a
lot of time for this segment. It's okay, though, We'll
be quick. I was trying to do everything I could
to get out of that conversation.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
How dare you? How dare you go? Finish your dinner?
Not very farm. Some people got hurt on a ride.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
It's not uncommon at amusement parks that rides may break
down or stop and you're stuck on them for like
two three hours. It's not uncommon. It's infrequent, but it's
not altogether uncommon. And as I've gotten older, I can't
speak for you Mark or or you Stefan. I don't
have the roller coaster or the thrill ride desire anymore.
(30:33):
Part of it is because those are usually the longest lines,
and I can't sit in the line for an hour,
hour and a half and ride a ride which is
like two and a half minutes, because I need to
go to the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
I'm on the wrong side of forty five.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Okay, I can't wait that long, especially if I had
any type of beverage, any type of beverage.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
Yeah, you and your prostate aren't cut out for that
kind of ride anymore.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Hey, you know time waits for no man.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
I just reached age where I don't really understand why
that's fun anymore.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Maybe that's it as well. I don't get any joy,
or in enjoy mint out of those type of thrill
seeker rides at all, And I liked them to a
certain degree when I was in my teens, but not
as an adult, not at all.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
But some people do.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
And part of me maybe because working in news or
adjacent to news, sometimes you learn a little too much
about stuff and it pushes you away, like I talk
about with flying, talk about with restaurants. After you learn
a certain bit, you're less inclined to indulge. So I
don't necessarily want to go on all that many roller
coaster rides, because stuff happens more than people want to admit.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
In not Spury Farm. This is just the latest example.
Speaker 6 (31:48):
Two women were taking to the hospital after a ride
at not Sbury Farm. Got stuck in mid air. Twenty
two people were stuck on the Soul Spin ride.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
I got a question.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Can you get stuck in like one third air as
opposed to middle the air? What about two quarters, two thirds,
four sevens pedantic air?
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Well, I'm just.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Look, you could be a smart ass. You want I
just have a real question here I can tell yeah,
have a real question. I don't understand the phraseology of
mid air, low air, high air. Mid says to me
that in the middle of the air, which means that
there's a measurement of the end of the air, well
the side of the air.
Speaker 6 (32:29):
Two women were taking to the hospital after a ride
at Knot's Very Farm. Got stuck in mid air. Twenty
two people were stuck.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
That's an unnecessary modifier. Just say you're stuck in the air.
That would be enough, right, got.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
Stuck in mid air? Twenty two people were stuck on
the Soul Spin ride for more than two and a
half hours.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
For more than two and a half hours, could you
imagine having to go to bathroom for two and a
half hours, I'll bet some people did, and just let
it dribble on down to the ground. You can't control
it all the time, and sometimes you don't want to.
You just give up the fight.
Speaker 6 (33:03):
For more than two and a half hours this afternoon,
citizens' app video shows writers waiting to get a help there.
The park's website describes soul Spend as a high speed
spinning ride over six stories high.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
That doesn't sound like fun.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Centrifugal force doesn't sound fun that high up, not at all.
Speaker 6 (33:24):
As a high speed spinning ride over six stories high.
Knotsbury Farm didn't specify if the two people taking to
the hospital were actually injured, only that it was done
out of an abundance of caution.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
So do they get like free passes to come back?
What is the compensation here? That kind of ruined the day?
Don't you think you want.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
A free pass to come back after you've been traumatized
like that?
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Well that's really my question is like what makes it better?
Do you refund them their money? Do you say, hey,
you know, come back anytime you want for the next year,
a year past.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
What is it you give them?
Speaker 4 (34:01):
It's like an old David Letterman routine. You can get
a bad sandwich and off you another one. Yeah, yeah,
have another free one. No, that happened to me when
I went to Sizzler many years ago. Sorry Sizzler, but
that's where it happened. I love Sizzler. What happened to you?
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Very quickly before we go to break, I was using
the salad, the buffet salad, you know, the all you
can eat trough. Yeah, the trough, and I was getting
ready to eat and that did not start. But I
was getting ready to eat and it was a spider
in my salad. No true story, true story. And I
went to the counter with the bowl and it was
(34:35):
a young lady and I wasn't mad at her, but
I was trying to explain to her. I paid for this,
I didn't need the extra of a spider. And she said,
would you like to get another bowl of salad?
Speaker 3 (34:47):
Would you like a new spider shirt? And then I
got mad.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
It's like, you want me to get another bowl of
salad from the same freaking salad bar with the spider
in it? How do I know his cousins and mama
aren't in there as well? With spider eggs all over
my my romaine lettuce.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
Now see if you visit happened to you in Scotland,
they would have picked up the spider and smacked it
and been like spin it out, Spit it out to
your wee bastard.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
You gotta work on that that accent. You gotta work
on it. Let's talk Lioness with actor.

You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty, and say.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
What you want about Jake Paul. And we said a
lot about Jake Paul last night. He is making googabs
of money and I know he does not care about
what anyone thinks as long as his bank account gets fatter.
Here's something that you do not know, or maybe did
not know. You may have watched Jake Paul Mike Tyson,
(00:30):
and you watched it on Netflix, but there were thousands
upon thousands of people who actually paid to see it
in person at at and T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
The gate net was eighteen point one million dollars net.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I did say gross.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
I said net of eighteen million, which is a US
record or a boxing or MMA event held outside of
Las Vegas.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
And we had boxing.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Events all over the world, We had MMA events all
over the world, but nothing approaching the gate of eighteen
point one million dollars. More than seventy two thousand, three
hundred fans were in attendance. And get this, I barely
(01:29):
watched the fight and it was included as part of
my subscription, and I had to lie to myself convince
myself that I needed to see this fight as if
it was a part of the news cycle and for
me to stay informed, I needed to stay abreast of
this fight, and I needed to watch it so I
could speak about it competently.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
That was the lie I told myself.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
But there were seventy two thousand people who actually paid
to get in. The average ticket price for those seventy
two thousand than three hundred people the average in other words,
some tickets were much higher, some were lower, but the
average ticket price was three hundred and four dollars. Three
hundred four dollars for the privilege the opportunity to watch
(02:14):
that horrible boxing exhibition in person. And if you've ever
seen the AT and T Stadium, it is cavernous. Unless
you're in the first five rows, you really don't have
a great sideline. You're not going to get a good
view of the fight. And those tickets were probably three
thousand dollars, not three hundred and four dollars, So you
(02:37):
paid probably top dollar to see the fight from a
worse vantage point than if you were at home watching
it via Netflix. But more than seventy two thousand, three
hundred people were in attendance.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Let's talk about streaming.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Netflix and MVP, the promotion company Responsible reported yesterday, excuse
me earlier today that the fight was the most streamed
sporting event ever, the most streamed sporting event ever, and
it was an ass competition. I mean, literally, did you
see Mike Tyson walking around in his song?
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I didn't need to see that.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I didn't want to see that, and I didn't need
to see thousands of people posting it and reposting it
and sharing it and sending to me on social media.
I didn't need to see that much of Mike Tyson,
not then, not now. I don't need that visual burned
into my brain. No, thank you very much. I'm quite
sure Mark Runners saw it, and he's not even a
(03:39):
sports fan. He didn't even want to see the fight.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
No.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
I like boxing, but it was kind of kind of
like an eyebrow raiser when you first saw Tyson's ass,
because it's like that scene in Animal House where you
don't realize that Donald Sutherland's not wearing any pants.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
It almost seemed like it was a bit in a movie,
and the joke was Mike Tyson walking away. Mike Tyson
clearly knew he had no pants on.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
I think he did know, yes.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
And he still did the interview and it turned around.
It threw both butt cheeks to the campus.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
That was a complete Benny Hill routine. We just had.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Surreal but the most streamed live sporting event of all time.
You can say what you want about Jake Paul, but
from a business standpoint, you can't say anything bad about him.
In fact, it peaked at sixty five million concurrent streams,
so if it was buffering, that's why sixty five million
(04:39):
concurrent streams with an estimated average minute audience of one
hundred and eight million live viewers worldwide. I don't know
what the deal looked like on paper, but I'm quite
sure there were tears. If it hits this strata, he
would make X amount of dollars, If it hits this
many viewers, it'd hit get a bonus of X amount
(05:00):
of dollars. He made money on top of money. Well,
didn't Jake Paul make forty million bucks? Yes, but that's
probably you think that's just a space pay. Yeah, there
have to be contractual incentives. I mean, he's not only
going to get forty million if he has one hundred
million people tuning in as opposed to forty five million
tuning in.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Well, yeah, and also, how can you scrape by on
just forty million? He doesn't have to scrape by, he doesn't.
I would get in the ring with him for what
Tyson got. I think Tyson got twenty.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
He got twenty, and it makes me think what would
I do? Because I would be the laughing stock of
forever if I got in a ring. You know, look,
I'm almost fifty five years old. I'm not Mike Tyson,
but I'm almost like Tyson in age, so there's no
way in the world I would actually do it. But
(05:49):
for twenty million, I'll have the conversation with you. I
would have to begin hundred. It has to be guaranteed.
It's not like I'm not doing any prop bet where
if I make could pass the fourth round.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
It has to be in my account before I step
in the ring, because I need to have the money
just in case they have to take me to the
hospital and I got brain damage. Everything has to be
in order. I think is as fat as he looked.
I think I'd stand an okay chance.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
I don't overestimate myself like that if I were in
my thirties, Jake Paul.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Yep, he's like six. Hey, look it up for me. Stefan.
I think he's like sixty three two forty right now.
Something ridiculous to me. That equals slow.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Yeah, but he's twenty seven years old, he's not fifty four.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
There's a difference. For twenty million bucks. I'd risk it. Yeah,
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
I tell you there's a idle heel as fast now
so oh no, not at your age, you know, six sixty.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
One two twenty seven to twenty seven. Okay, that's manageable.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
If I had six week's training, I might do it
for twenty million, but I I would need some other guarantees.
I would need more than just the money because it's
a one time thing. You know, people have died in
the Ring. I need a little bit more than twenty million.
I need generational wealth.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Wait, how many people outside of the Rocky franchise have
actually died in the Ring.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
A number, a number. Ray Boom boom Man c killed
a fighter. There have been fighters who've ended up incapacitated.
Gerald McClellan, I'm just taking off the top of my head.
There have been a number of fighters, and I see
Stephan looking up right now.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
No, it's okay, I'm just not interested in the BodyCount
of Yvonne Drago. Okay.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Over eighteen hundred and seventy six boxers have died since
eighteen ninety, including fifty five professional boxers and twenty six
amateur boxers.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
So if you're going back to the Marquis of Queensberry,
of course, but no.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
But the bottom line is that breaks breaks down to
a little less than one a year. It's and that's
not saying any of the fighters you can tell who
are punch drunk or suffering from Parkinson's or some sort
of congenitive decline, cognitive decline. No, no, that's why I
(08:13):
need like the generational wealth to make sure twenty million
sign me up.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Okay, too bad, no one would pay you that.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
But you know, no, no, you can be you can
be the Burgess Meredith to to my Rocky Well. Burgess
Meredith died of a heart attack in Rocky three. So
that's fine, I'll learn which movie are we talking. I'll
find a way to live without you eventually.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Okay, So we'll talk about Rocky one, Rocky two or
Rocky three. Well, let's not get hung up on the details.

going to be another statue erected outside of let's call
(09:10):
it what it is, Staple Center. Crypto dot com arena
doesn't flow off the tongue this easily, so it's going
to be Staple Center. And here is a pop quiz
for my non sports fans in the studio and Tuala,
I think you should take a try at this as well,
because I don't know if any of you can do it.
And the question is, without googling, can you name the
(09:35):
existing statues outside Staple Center before I tell you about
the new statue which is going to be put up
outside Staple Center.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Let's see Rowdy Roddy Piper wrong, what, Nope, Nope, And
I'll give you a hit.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
All of them Lakers, all the Lakers, Lakers connected to
the Lakers, Jerry Buss, Magic Johnson.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Wait, wait, wait, Kobe Bryant, yes.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Magic Johnson, Yes, Jerry Buss No, no, no, Jerry Buss
doesn't have a statue out there, not as of yet.
It's hard to do the hair in a statue. Hey, man,
I saw the show. No, we'll get to that. We'll
get to that. Hey, because these statues really struggle at
getting the face.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Accurate. Hey, that statue of.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Yeah, that is god awful. So Madge Johnson, Yes, Kobe Bryant, Yes,
who else?
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Oh, shack shack a gosh darted. Oh yeah, they're plenty more.
Think about the biggest and most famous people that ever.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Does Kareem have a statue out there? Yes he does,
he does.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Larry Berdy played with the Celtics Lakers.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
They're not gonna they're.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Not gonna put up a Larry Bird statue outside of
a Staple Center slash Crypto dot com or even go
and see the.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
The Kareem abdul Jabbar statue.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Yeah, so, Kareem, Magic, uh, Kobe Shaquille.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Those are the ones you've gotten. Four.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
There's another few that you're forgetting two, three, there's three
that you're forgetting before we get to this new one,
which is going to go up. I mean, I know
for a fact they don't have a statue of fish.
No they don't, but we're talking about who they do.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
So the fish did say Pittsburgh, LA.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
You need some hints? Worthy? No he does not, but
that's not a bad Worthy doesn't have one. No he
does not. WHOA?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
So how about this, who's the greatest basketball announcer of
all times?
Speaker 3 (11:54):
All time? Chick hern has a statue? Yes he does? Really,
that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
And that's that's not his jersey with a microphone is
retired up on the rafters inside the arena.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
I like that. Okay. So we have Shaquille.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Hick, Hearn, Kobe Bryant, Matthew Johnson, Kareem abdul Jabbar. They're
too that you are forgetting and you probably won't get
either because you don't Jennie Buss give herself a statue. No,
make sure, I'll just sure. Here's a hint. The logo
for the NBA.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Yeah, you don't know. Oh, you know what? You know what?
You know what? I know?
Speaker 2 (12:35):
I messed up, I said, I said, Jerry bust that's
what I'm thinking of. That's who I thought I when
you said the logo, I thought, Oh, that's what he
That's what I thought. Yes, no, no, no, uh no, no,
don't don't say it. Don't say oh no no, no,
oh my god. I don't know why Jerry Budd logo.
I know I that's why I thought in my mind
for some another hint.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Oh no, no, no, no, no. I know his hair, I
know the face. I know the guy. I know the guy.
He recently passed away. As a matter of no, I
know the guy.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Not not North, No, look, not sorry West. Yes, I
said Jerry Buss. I've met Jerry West, but they're two
very different. I know.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
I know Bus is the owner, Wes is the man. Yeah,
that's what.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
That's what I meant when I said that, And I
thought I had that down right. But yes, Wes, now
this one more. I'm just because he was part of
it for so long.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Phil Jackson, No, no, I would have liked that.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Guess you're not going to guess the last one. So
I'm going to, you know, put you out of your misery.
It's Elgin Baylor Wow before Worthy. Well yeah, because Worthy,
I'm not going to get her that. But okay, if
there's someone else who's connected with the Lakers success, and Showtime.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Is there any name which would come to mind? Twaalder.
You probably know this because you've seen the story.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Yeah, but I thought Fushia's guests would have been up there.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Okay, well here it is.
Speaker 5 (14:00):
The coach who helped guide the Showtime era Lakers will
be honored with a statue outside of Crypto dot Com arena.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
No, no, no, it's Staple Center.
Speaker 6 (14:10):
Camerena.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
No Stable Center, Crypto dot Comerena, no Stable Center.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Get it right, stay with me, Staple Crypto dot Com.
No no, no, no, it's Aitcrrypto dot com is the
wrong name.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
It's Staple Center Crypto dot Com Arena.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
Pat Riley coached the Lakers to four NBA titles. He
also won a title as a player with the Lakers
in nineteen seventy two. An unveiling date from the statue
has not yet been announced.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Riley with his trademark slicked back hair and his well
tailored suits, I'm quite sure that will be this. If
I were to make a guess, that would be the
statue because that's what he was known for. His style
as a coach. He was very stylished on the sidelines. Yes,
he's a player with the Lakers. Yes, he won to
(15:00):
ring with the Lakers, but he's best known as for
the clip the Four Championships.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
It's part of showtime.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
So they'll probably put him in a suit and they'll
probably mess up his face.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
They can't get the face right. I don't I don't
get it. I don't get and I'm not so sure.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I even liked statues just hang their banner, but the statues,
they just never get it right.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Ever.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Ever, Yeah, because even outside of sports, isn't one of
the more famous ones that they are infamous ones that
they messed up was mister Rogers. Well, and it's made
fun of, like left and right, just about everyone in sports.
There are very few which you get it right now.
Shack has a very good statue. It shows him donkey
to hanging on the rim, so it's less about his
(15:44):
face but more the action. But the one with Dwayne
Wade was horrible. You know, they're they're just they're just
not often accurate. I thought that Wayne Gretzky's statue, the
face was really Wayne.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
That was a bad one. Face was really really jacked up.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
So, you know, and for me it got me thinking,
would I want a statue outside of iHeartMedia when all
of a sudden done, No, I maybe want my stop laughing.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Trying to be funny. I'd want to bust.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
They get those right more times than that. Yeah, they
get it right at like the football, Pro Football Hall
of Fame, Baseball Hall of Fame. But when it comes
to the full body statue, not so much. Not even
the wax Museum. They're getting less and less accurate. But
as too, I was saying, as I was self aggrandizing myself,
I don't know if I would want a statue. I
think i'd want my name on the side of a building. No,
(16:35):
I would do that, But I don't need to be remembered.
It's just a little bit too much, even for my ego.
A whole statue of me, that's like, that's like almost
like worship.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
I don't need you to worship me. I don't need
you to even remember me.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
I'm I'm actually not all that concerned about how people
will remember me when I'm gone.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Say what you want, I'm going to you, Mike Tyson, No,
I'm just serious. It's trash.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
I just never care about that. I don't need the statue.
I don't need the building with my name on the side.
Although it would be kind of cool, but I would
want to be around to see it. I don't want
it done posthumously. You're dead, You're gone, You're dead. No
one kids. It's like untouchables. I can't do one. You
(17:19):
basically just want final approval. Yeah, yeah, I could get
I can understand that. Yeah, but I don't need the
actual statue. Yeah, you know, hang my jersey and the
rafters of KFI. That's what i'd want, That's what I want.
But I wouldn't need a whole like a bust or
even a full body statue. When you'd walk up to
the glass double doors, that'd be a bit much. Maybe
(17:42):
inside the glass double doors, maybe they had like a
some sort of neon sign.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Or you can name a bench after me, you know
the benches they have outside. How about a public toilet?
No no, no, not a public toilet.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
No no, mister mo Kelly, public toilet now, I don't
want people putting their ass on my face.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Can't six forty we're live everywhere the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
kf I.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
A M six forty. I'd like to buy the world
a home and furnish it with along grow up on
trees and things.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
So turtled.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
I like to teach the world to say.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Thing with me, county.
Speaker 6 (18:50):
To buy the world.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Come me. Can't find Kelly.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. If you're of
a certain age, you maybe remember that commercial. It's called
the Hilltop Ad. Of course people remember the song, but
the commercial itself was filmed on top of a hill
and they're about maybe one to two hundred people in
that ad. And since it was the early nineteen seventies,
no one had to worry whether it was AI. No
(19:27):
one needed to worry if there were some sort of
CGI adding people to the commercial.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
They were all real.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
The reason I played that commercial is yesterday Coca Cola
just dropped a holiday ad. And if you're following me
on threads at mister mo'kelly, I just posted it there.
You may not know this outside of me telling you,
but every single thing that you see in that Coca
Cola ad is AI. Every single quote unquote person, everything
(20:01):
that you see in that ad is not real. It's incredible,
but it's not real. For all the fights that sag
After had about making sure that TV shows would not
be using AI to create scripts or take over roles.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
On TV shows or movies.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Well, it doesn't stop AI from just creating wholesale creating
complete concepts like a commercial using nobody, absolutely nobody in
the creation of the content of the ad. No actors,
no actresses, no nothing, just a computer generated spot of
(20:54):
a minute long. And if you're wondering why Coca Cola
is doing that, well it's it's for the obvious reason.
It's for the reason that any company would want to
use AI. It's because it makes everything that a company
would do less expensive. They don't have to pay actors,
(21:16):
they don't have to pay really a director per se.
They just need to have someone with computer capabilities.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Always the real thing. Huh.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
Coca Cola out with a new set of holiday ads.
The catch everything from Santa to the people, to the
trucks to the animals. Literally everything you see in here
is AI generated. A spokesperson for Coca Cola heralding the
ads as quote efficient and cost.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Saving, efficient and saving.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
They can create that from a desktop computer and not
have to pay anybody, no residuals, just pay for the
creation of it and keep it pushing to Walla's been
in a commercial.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
He knows this better than I do.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
They can pay you a flat fee, but still it's
a flat fee that they didn't have to pay anyone
in this. Yeah, no flat fee or no option for
residual if this is gonna be a commercial that runs
you know, all HASH season nationally, anything like that. Yeah,
this is the unseen hand that many actors and actresses
(22:41):
were fighting against because there wasn't enough detail put into
the sag After contract in order to say no, you
cannot only not just digitally reproduce me or anyone in
the scene without our say so, you also have to
(23:02):
have some level of real people in an ad, or
you have to say this is a AI generated ad
something some things that I know I believe I'm paraphrasing,
but Justine Bateman was saying like, look, there's not enough
in this contract to really keep this what Coca Cola
did from happening. You can't stop this. You can't stop
(23:26):
companies from creating on their own. There's nothing preventing them
from doing it. This was inevitable. Now, I know Mark
hates us saying that it's inevitable and we should fight
the power and push back. But you know, there's a
complicated conversation where we can talk about capitalism doing what
capitalism does, and capitalism is about expanding revenue and contracting expenditures.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
This is what AI is going to do. Now.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Mark may take the standpoint that the position that AI
can't really create anything, well, it's doing a pretty good,
pretty good job here. And I posted the commercial if
you want to see it for yourself on my threads
account at mister m'kelly you can see it. There nothing
that you see in that ad from Santa Sleigh to
(24:13):
any of the people. Air quotes in the commercial are real,
and I think they figured out the hand thing because
it's not easily discernible that it's AI.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
It's more than passable.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
And if you didn't tell me it was AI, I
would have assumed it was people with a whole lot
of CGI, because I don't believe there's an actual real
sled flying around, so I think CGI. But as far
as the people are concerned, air quotes look real enough
to me.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Mark the dog los oh, it's all slop. It's slop.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
And you know, if you really want to use a
metaphor that I think is accurate. It's like sex with
a blow up doll. Maybe sometimes it'll do in a pinch,
but in general everybody can tell it's vastly inferior to
the real thing.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
I wouldn't say so in this In this instance, you
want to expand on the blow up doll part. No, no, no,
I'm actually trying to be serious here, if only because
when you're doing a commercial like this, it to do
this commercial you would need CGI. Okay, you don't need
people in this particular commercial.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
The only thing you needed was CGI.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
And so I don't know that sure, because we don't
know how much post production humans put into this. I
have a feeling that this wasn't somebody just saying, hey,
generate me this fun commercial and that gave you what
you saw. I think there were people involved on the
front and the back end of this, and it's not
as seamless a thing as you think.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
No, I didn't say it was seamless. I'm saying, go ahead, twell,
you're getting read to jump in and oh yeah, I
was gonna say, potentially, Mark, potentially there were still a
crew of people who did the actual animating and things
like that. But to look at this ad, even if
it was a CGI or AI created ad, it's no
(26:06):
different looking at least from the old Coca Cola ad
where the polar bears got a hold of the cokeine
we're drinking is and a CGI animated one that people did.
All this ad looks like they were allowed to do
is probably downsize the number of people. Even if there
were people involved, you're not talking a team of twenty animators.
(26:29):
You're talking like two guys with a with a chromebook.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Well, I mean a chrome book.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
The thing that I always have to come back to
is that the only people asking for the CGI slop
are the ones hoping to save money by not paying
professionals to work. And the CGA or the AI rather,
it can't function without stealing other people's work. You'll never
get an original piece of art from AI. And whether
whether or not the commercials art, that's a whole other conversation, right, But.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Commercials aren't going for art. Commercials are trying to get
you to buy something. And if they can get you
to buy something without spending I don't know, five hundred
thousand dollars to create a commercial and have to pay
in perpetuity when it comes to residuals. I understand the
mathematical and business calculation being made here. I'm not saying
I like it. I'm saying I get it. I get it.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Have you checked out the commercial? Mark?
Speaker 2 (27:23):
I would love to get your first hand account of
what it looks like, because if you didn't tell me,
I wouldn't know.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
It's just a commercial.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
I saw it there to go on my little iPhone
screen and I just thought, well, it doesn't look significantly
different than anything we've seen, But what's the ultimate cost
of this? Was there a problem with the previous ones?
Speaker 3 (27:45):
No, I mean.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Mark getting much now? There was a problem with the
original ad. What the polar Bear wasn't on a shrinking
ice flow? The problem associated with higher the staff and
having all those people in the ability to churn out
this ad that you're going to run in Super Bowl
or wherever.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
The cost associated.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Are you talking about the philosophical cost to our community
as opposed to a Whitney's commercial with a with a
real old woman saying where's the beef?
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Well, I mean, yes, you're a little too high minded here.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
I think for it's a commercial, it's not a polemic novel.
Speaker 5 (28:30):
No.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
I want to know what's real and what's not, and
whether it's a commercial or a film. The whole point
of all of that is to connect with other people.
And you know, I can take an AI just giving
me a message saying buy this drink. It is imperative.
That's fine with me. But I want to know what's
real and what isn't. And I want to know what's
generated by people and what isn't. And nobody, you know,
(28:56):
nobody's going to watch an AI generated movie of your
TV show. You'll have, you know, like the low end
of the bell curve of people watching it. I'll bet
you good money you're wrong. You are going to be
wishing for save the cat formula garbage the second you
see any shows.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Generating if world where TikTok rules, you bet your ass
they will watch an AI generated movie and they will
have kids. When I say kids, young adults, making them
in their own garage, putting them up on social media,
and making millions of dollars on YouTube or wherever.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
There are ways that it will democratize the process of creativity.
But there's a cost to all of that.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we got to go to break I know,
run away, run Away, Mark, run Away, that's right, it's
Later with mokel k if I AM six forty live
everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Because Mark was filibustering last segment, trying to take up
all the time in a segment. We don't have a
lot of time for this segment. It's okay, though, We'll
be quick. I was trying to do everything I could
to get out of that conversation.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
How dare you? How dare you go? Finish your dinner?
Not very farm. Some people got hurt on a ride.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
It's not uncommon at amusement parks that rides may break
down or stop and you're stuck on them for like
two three hours. It's not uncommon. It's infrequent, but it's
not altogether uncommon. And as I've gotten older, I can't
speak for you Mark or or you Stefan. I don't
have the roller coaster or the thrill ride desire anymore.
(30:33):
Part of it is because those are usually the longest lines,
and I can't sit in the line for an hour,
hour and a half and ride a ride which is
like two and a half minutes, because I need to
go to the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
I'm on the wrong side of forty five.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Okay, I can't wait that long, especially if I had
any type of beverage, any type of beverage.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
Yeah, you and your prostate aren't cut out for that
kind of ride anymore.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Hey, you know time waits for no man.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
I just reached age where I don't really understand why
that's fun anymore.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Maybe that's it as well. I don't get any joy,
or in enjoy mint out of those type of thrill
seeker rides at all, And I liked them to a
certain degree when I was in my teens, but not
as an adult, not at all.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
But some people do.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
And part of me maybe because working in news or
adjacent to news, sometimes you learn a little too much
about stuff and it pushes you away, like I talk
about with flying, talk about with restaurants. After you learn
a certain bit, you're less inclined to indulge. So I
don't necessarily want to go on all that many roller
coaster rides, because stuff happens more than people want to admit.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
In not Spury Farm. This is just the latest example.
Speaker 6 (31:48):
Two women were taking to the hospital after a ride
at not Sbury Farm. Got stuck in mid air. Twenty
two people were stuck on the Soul Spin ride.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
I got a question.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Can you get stuck in like one third air as
opposed to middle the air? What about two quarters, two thirds,
four sevens pedantic air?
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Well, I'm just.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Look, you could be a smart ass. You want I
just have a real question here I can tell yeah,
have a real question. I don't understand the phraseology of
mid air, low air, high air. Mid says to me
that in the middle of the air, which means that
there's a measurement of the end of the air, well
the side of the air.
Speaker 6 (32:29):
Two women were taking to the hospital after a ride
at Knot's Very Farm. Got stuck in mid air. Twenty
two people were stuck.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
That's an unnecessary modifier. Just say you're stuck in the air.
That would be enough, right, got.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
Stuck in mid air? Twenty two people were stuck on
the Soul Spin ride for more than two and a
half hours.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
For more than two and a half hours, could you
imagine having to go to bathroom for two and a
half hours, I'll bet some people did, and just let
it dribble on down to the ground. You can't control
it all the time, and sometimes you don't want to.
You just give up the fight.
Speaker 6 (33:03):
For more than two and a half hours this afternoon,
citizens' app video shows writers waiting to get a help there.
The park's website describes soul Spend as a high speed
spinning ride over six stories high.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
That doesn't sound like fun.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Centrifugal force doesn't sound fun that high up, not at all.
Speaker 6 (33:24):
As a high speed spinning ride over six stories high.
Knotsbury Farm didn't specify if the two people taking to
the hospital were actually injured, only that it was done
out of an abundance of caution.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
So do they get like free passes to come back?
What is the compensation here? That kind of ruined the day?
Don't you think you want.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
A free pass to come back after you've been traumatized
like that?
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Well that's really my question is like what makes it better?
Do you refund them their money? Do you say, hey,
you know, come back anytime you want for the next year,
a year past.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
What is it you give them?
Speaker 4 (34:01):
It's like an old David Letterman routine. You can get
a bad sandwich and off you another one. Yeah, yeah,
have another free one. No, that happened to me when
I went to Sizzler many years ago. Sorry Sizzler, but
that's where it happened. I love Sizzler. What happened to you?
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Very quickly before we go to break, I was using
the salad, the buffet salad, you know, the all you
can eat trough. Yeah, the trough, and I was getting
ready to eat and that did not start. But I
was getting ready to eat and it was a spider
in my salad. No true story, true story. And I
went to the counter with the bowl and it was
(34:35):
a young lady and I wasn't mad at her, but
I was trying to explain to her. I paid for this,
I didn't need the extra of a spider. And she said,
would you like to get another bowl of salad?
Speaker 3 (34:47):
Would you like a new spider shirt? And then I
got mad.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
It's like, you want me to get another bowl of
salad from the same freaking salad bar with the spider
in it? How do I know his cousins and mama
aren't in there as well? With spider eggs all over
my my romaine lettuce.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
Now see if you visit happened to you in Scotland,
they would have picked up the spider and smacked it
and been like spin it out, Spit it out to
your wee bastard.
