Speaker 1 (00:22):
K if I'm O'Kelly. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
If you are in your car right now, I feel
for you. In fact, I am praying for you. If
you are in your car, you probably have been in
your car for the past seventy two hours.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Okay, I'm exaggerating sixty four.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
If you are in your car right now, be it
the one ten, the one oh five, the one eighteen,
the four oh five, the one o one, the one seventy,
the fifty five, the fifty seven, the two ten. If
you are on any of those freeways right now, you
probably have been using all sorts of profanity. You probably
(01:08):
have been very frustrated. And that's just the traffic, saying
nothing of the rain that Mark Ronner could not get
right and adequately prepare us for. He said, it's going
to be here closer to Thanksgiving. No, it's not closer
to Thanksgiving. It's Tuesday. It's Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Mo. I realized that it's not appropriate to celebrate New
Year's Eve stuff yet, But I think that your resolution
for twenty twenty five should be to undermine your coworkers
less less.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Okay, Twala, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I will try to undermine you less in the new year, Isabella,
I apologize lociento mucho. I will undermine you less five
And Stephan.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
I almost forgot Stephan, Yes, Stefan, I'm sorry. Stefan.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
I promise to not undermine you as much in twenty
twenty five.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Okay, you're a change man. Are your birthday? Happy birthday?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Goods? Oh gosh, I'll try to skip by that. You
can't skip by that. I'm surprised.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
I forgot to tell foods to throw on the happy
birthday music with that cue.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
This is what I think of my birthday.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Oh who's this, Marilyn Monroe, mister president?
Speaker 1 (02:30):
You know, I woke up this morning and I have
a routine ritual each birthday. Usually get on my knees
and pray, thank the Lord for another year. Hopefully I'm
a little bit wiser, a little bit more patient, a
little bit more kind.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
That's what I try to do.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
I try to improve as I get older. It's kind
of the same with my New Year's resolutions. So it's
interesting you said that, Mark. I don't have New Year's resolutions.
I just try to incrementally improve in certain aspects of
my life. And I was laying in the bed this morning,
and I don't get too high or too low on birthdays.
(03:04):
It's like, oh, yeah, it's my birthday. But I was
doing the math, and the math gets more troubling as
you get older.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Okay, and I.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Realize today, no exaggeration, I'm closer to ninety than I
am twenty. Not to mention death, well, you know. And
it's funny because they want to say, oh, you're middle aged.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
No, I'm not.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
If you plan on living to one hundred and ten, yeah,
I mean. Look, yet I do get very philosophical on birthdays.
I think about what I've done, what I would like
to do, assuming I have any measurable time remaining, and
you know, some portion of health. I always want to
(03:46):
make sure that I'm maximizing what I'm doing while I'm here.
I'm not one of those people saying, you know, I
always want to go to. No, I'm trying to go
to I'm trying to make sure that I get it done.
I every day is a bucket list day, every single day.
And it almost feels like if you're under the age
of thirty, you won't quite understand this, but you will
(04:07):
as you get older. It does feel like time moves
quicker with each subsequent year.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
It feels like year one of my.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Life had three hundred and sixty five days, Year two
three hundred and sixty four, and so forth.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
It just moves down where each year seems a little.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Bit quicker and a little bit lost in the mix,
where you know, the birthdays don't mean as much individually.
And then you kind of realize, Ooh, I need to
hurry up. Ooh, I need to worry about you know, retirement.
I have to worry about health insurance, life insurance, all
(04:47):
these things that I'm not supposed to ever worry about
because that's for older Ooh.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
You know.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
You start making certain self realizations, and I get to
be a bit more pensive on my birthday. It's nice,
you know, the birthday wishes. Appreciate it, Thank you very much. Yes,
I don't hide my age. I'm fifty five, but it
seemed like just yesterday I was turning fifty.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
It just seems that way.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
It feels that way, and the reality is I'm closer
to ninety than I am.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Twenty. Feel great, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
I stretch every day and I'm in a good place
physically all that could change tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
But quality of life is good.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
So I don't have any real major complaints other than
working with Mark Ronner. Other than that life is outstanding.
That is your birthday gift. Hey, you said New Year's resolution.
You didn't say, like tonight, I need to work on it.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Well, it's never too or early to start showing a
little basic human decency now is no.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
No, no, no, no, let's slow down. Okay, yeah, okay, I'm
an old dog. I can't learn any new tricks. Well
let's start with no biting then and see.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Okay, Oh, but we have a full show tonight, I
mean a full show tonight.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
We have to remind you of pastathon coming up. There
are some very cool auction items which will be available
between now and Postathon. Yes, the whole crew will be
broadcasting live from five am all the way through to
ten pm on December third. But right now you can
(06:35):
also put down your bid. If you would like to
be co hosts of Later with Moe Kelly, you can
go to Postathon dot excuse me actually, KFIAM six forty
dot com Forward Slash Postathon, and then you'll see the
link to click on the bidding items, and we're auctioning
(06:56):
off an opportunity for you to be cost of Later
with Mo Kelly on a Friday. In other words, we're
gonna play the game, name that movie called Classic.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
You will be if you would like.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
To, running the game, guiding the game, participating in the game,
giving subjects to be discussed on the show on the air,
maybe engaging Mark Ronner for the runner report, having your
own segment even, yeah, let's do that. If you're gonna
co host later with mo Kelly, you should have your
(07:28):
own segment, just like Mark Ronner. So if Jill Johnson
happens to be the top bidder to be co host
with Later with mo Kelly, will name a damn segment
after you and you'll have your own segment to yourself.
But you got to go to KFI AM six forty
dot com Forward Slash Pastathon and all this is to
(07:50):
support a wonderful cause, obviously, Katerina's Club, and we are
doing this down for the fourteenth year. Fourteenth year, and
it's scary to me because that was a year before
I came to KFI.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
So it's just before I started here at KFI.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
In fact, next month will be my thirteenth anniversary here.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Lucky.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
I would have to say yes, because I've never worked
any place as long as I've worked here. And when
you talk about radio, it's always hit and miss from
day to day, week to week, month to month, and
year to year.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Yes, radio is known for being stable and lucrative, isn't
it now?
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Or neither?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
No, seriously, and I would tell people this, and I
say this with great respect of what has been going
on in the news lately.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
You don't need me to talk about it.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
But I tell people you have not worked in radio
unless you've lost a job in radio. And I mean
that seriously and sincerely. It is difficult. This business that
we call radio is. It is taxing, and it is
it is demanding in many ways because you do it
because you love it more than anything. You love doing it.
(09:04):
And circling back to Pasathon, I would love you to
have some of that same opportunity to feel what we
feel as far as being behind the mic here at KFI,
having something to say for practically all of southern California
to hear, and also get yourself at Aircheck be heard
(09:26):
on the number one news talk station in America and
the number one streamed station on the iHeartRadio app. I
don't know if you can get bigger than that, I
just don't know. And it's a wonderful opportunity for someone
who would maybe like to be a part of radio
or wants to do that whole daycamp fantasy thing. You
(09:46):
know how Gary Hoffman usually goes to fantasy camp with
the San Francisco Giants.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Same thing, except it's going to be for real.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
You're actually going to be on air, you're actually co
hosting the show, You're actually contributing and producing the show
from top to bottom. It's a three hour tour, and
we're not going to leave you stranded on some island.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Gell a good reference there.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Go with a WKRP reference the TB go with the
Turkey episode.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
I wonder would.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
To throw them out of the plane or the helicopter.
As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
It is a shame that people don't get to experience
some of the best of primetime television in its heyday,
because now you don't see many scripted comedy sitcoms anymore.
You just don't and you don't have the feeling of
watching some like twenty three episodes. They are like twenty
(10:38):
episodes in a given season. You don't get that anymore.
For as much as I love streaming, you don't get
the type of sitcoms that we used to have.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
It's almost like that time is gone.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
No, and there it's fun to watch them, and when
you're feeling nostalgic and sitting up late at night with
perhaps a cocktail like the old episodes a taxi and
the stuff that we grew up with, they truly don't
make them quite like that anymore.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
No, not at all.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
And if you watch a lot of these shows, with
the exception of the dated references, most of the comedy still.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Holds up well.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Not only that, but it's pretty bold by today's standards.
They got away with stuff that we absolutely could not
with no comparison, not even close. There's no way you
could listen to the humor of All in the Family,
or even the Jeffersons with a lot of their references
made all the show.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
It would not fly at all.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
I was just watching an All in the Family clip
before we went on the air tonight.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
It's like Oh, how about that.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
I will make a nostalgic for the times that you
could say things that would get you absolutely canceled immediately.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Your whole life because you fired disappeared like you'd be
fired before the show was.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Over, like you were a Russian and you had that
falling out the window disease.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I do remember when I was watching WKRP in Cincinnati
and I didn't know whether I would rather be Venus
fly Trap or less Nessman.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
What about Johnny Fever. I'll tell you why.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Johnny Fever seemed a little too cool for school. For me,
less Nessman, I could identify with the nerdy news guy
who people would make fun of. You always have to
find yourself in one of the characters, and it was
strange Venus sly Trap. I wanted to be him because
he was just cool, but less Nestman is like I
(12:25):
can understand what he was going through and and in
my mind he was running the station even though he
wasn't the owner.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Have you put tape around the floor to demarcate an
imaginary office, I'm that.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Nerd like I could see you doing it. I could
see it as well. And Stefan Alnicher help with this.
That is why I have the a cappella drops that
I do for this show. That is a direct derivative
of WKRP in Cincinnati. And if Stephan could find one
of them or any of them, you can see it
(12:59):
directly comes from that and old time radio.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I never knew that. Now, this is an important question,
and I hope you take it seriously. Bailey or Jennifer.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Oh Bailey all day every day. The answer is both
at the same time, at the same time. No, Bailey
was always played down. You could tell that she was gorgeous,
but with the glasses whatever they were just they were
really dressing her down.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Okay, you heard WKRP in Cincinnati. Now listen to.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
This direct descendant derivative of WKRP and Cincinnati. That is
my WKRP in Cincinnati fantasy in real life, in real time.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Did you ever wonder why the WKRP mascot was a carp.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
I remember the episode where they actually got the mascot.
It's KRP. It could disasily been crapped. Did they say
that in the episode?
Speaker 2 (14:08):
I don't remember. It's been since we were kids.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Oh my goodness, No, since you were a kid, because
you were older that.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Watch it, watch it look at the time, I am
six forty left everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty And at.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
The beginning of the show, I was praying for you
because I know if you were in your car, you
were going to still be in your car for the
next forty five I don't know days or so wherever
you're going, you're not there yet. You are still in
your car. It is really really bad out there. Why
because Tuesday and Wednesday before Thanksgiving, whether you're flying, whether
(14:48):
you're driving, those are the worst travel.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Days of the year in terms of congestion.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
And some of you might be actually driving to the
airport and some of you might be taking your Thanksgiving
dinner with you. And it never occurred to you, Can
I can I bring this food on the plane? Can
I bring the mac and teese? Can I bring the ham?
The turkey?
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Can I bring the cranberry on the plane? Mark? Some
people do. I've seen it before.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
I'm just fascinated because when you were doing this ranch
just now, you sounded like Shatner doing the ed Plebnista.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
In Star Trek. Well, only I would know that.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
But I'm saying, you get these obscure references.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
There's nothing obscure about that. Well, we'll have stefan pullets
so people will know.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Okay, okay, But you might be wondering, or you should
be wondering, if you're going to be taking food through
TSA and taking it across state lines. What you are
or or not or are not allowed to take with
you on a plane.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
It's a great question.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
And actually I didn't know this why because I would
never try to take food on a plane with me
other than food with a purchase from the airport terminal.
But here is what you can take through a TSA checkpoint.
You can take cooked mac and cheese in a pan.
In other words, it has to be cooked. It can't
(16:18):
be like straight out of the refrigerator. And you're gonna
cook it when you get to your relative's house. I know, Mark,
it's strange. You're just gonna walk in there with a
pan of mac and cheese.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
It's gotta be cooked, and the like, what are they
gonna do if it's not cooked?
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Turn you away? Or if it's not cooked enough? Have
a question? Mac and cheese, bread crumbs or not on top?
Absolutely not. Never See there's the half white of you
coming through. What how is that?
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Folks? We want we want bread crumbs on the top.
It wants your crust, yes, good, yes? Okay? How about this.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Sweet potatoes with or without marshmallows on top? I don't care, indifferent,
I prefer without. But that's just me.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
For me, I need the marshmallows.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Sounds serious. No, when it comes to Thanksgiving dinner, it
is serious.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
I don't like savory foods that are meant to that
swap flavors with sweet foods.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
I don't like sweet and savory either, Like, for example,
I don't want my sausage touching syrup.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
I just don't like that. I'm just gonna not not
proceed with that one. The sausage on the plate, of course. Yeah,
I need you to grow up. Mark. Wait, so do
you have like cranberry sauce? I don't eat cranberry sauce. Okay,
what's happening? I'm serious, I don't This is delicious. No,
it isn't.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Notice it's the law, though it is there is. I'm
on the lamb, I'm on the run.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
I need you to search every outhouse, back house, front house, roundhouse.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Man, I'm a fugitive. My name is doctor Richard Kimball.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
One day a year. You can't tolerate cranberry suing. Right,
it doesn't have to be the slice kind out the can.
You can get the fresh maid. What are you doing.
You're getting in the way of my story. You can
take cooked mac and cheese in a pan, in a pant.
It's got to be a pan. It can't be crust.
It can't be a glass dish. It has to be
a pan with crust.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Yes, if you're trying to go to a black household,
no olives, what the frick is wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (18:24):
I'm just trying to get a handle.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
I never have olives at any Thanksgiving dinner. It's hard
to keep track of all your bizarre dietary.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
You need if you want to be fully black, you
need to learn some of these things so you don't
get put out of the house.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Okay, what else? Okay?
Speaker 1 (18:39):
This is for going through a TSA checkpoint. Cooked or
uncooked stuffing in a bag or box is okay, pillow case?
Why not that in a pan? I mean, if mac
and cheese could be in a pan, why not the
stuff stop making sense? Okay. You can bring your cooked
or uncooked stuffing in a bag or box. He doesn't
(19:01):
say trash bag, he doesn't say plastic bag. It doesn't
specify what type of bag. It doesn't say whether it's
a single use bag from rouse. It doesn't say. It
just says in a bag or a box. It doesn't
even say that it needs to be sealed.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Again.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
You can carry this on the plane and check with
your luggage. Sweet treats and baked goods such as homemade
or store brand cakes, pies, and cookies. Who's gonna check
a cake? Who's taking a cake through TSA and gonna
put it in the overhead.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Bend or in their lap? Who's doing any of this?
Speaker 1 (19:40):
I'm just reading this story. You can also take through
TSA and check with your luggage. Green bean cast roles
or other types of cast roles. That's so nineteen seventies.
Do they make cast rolls anymore? And I say it
because I like cast roles. I'm just saying I don't
see them much anymore. They do green green bean cast
roll Gelson's really, yeah, Gelson's is green bean. It has
(20:02):
a bunch of other little stuff in it, but yeah,
it has like bits of ham and all that kind
of stuff. Do you have to show that you can
remove your teeth before they'll sell it to you? Because
that's very nineteen seventy. It really is like what your
grandparents would eat. Yeah, that is true, like ambrosia. Does
anyone like ambrosia? I used to love it? Are you serious?
Speaker 2 (20:21):
I did? Oh? I did used to love.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
I'm getting ready to pull your black cart. No, no, no, no,
I don't like walnuts. No, no, Ambrosia is useful for
nothing but a spackle.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
You you don't eat that stuff.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
No.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
You used to have to fill up holes in the world, exactly. Yeah,
just no walnuts on the white people used to pull walnuts,
and I like walnuts, but just not in ambrosia. I
like it in my salad. Okay.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
You can take yams, potatoes, green beans, squash, or other
types of fresh vegetables, but the potatoes in front of
the beans hams.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
All right, red lobster.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Yeah, And you could carry this on the plane and
check with your luggage, so if you have some green
be laying around. It doesn't say how it has to
be packaged. That's also interesting. It just says you can
take it on the plane. You can take chicken hams, turkey,
and steak which can be frozen, cooked or uncooked.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
And you know that's gonna be stinking up the plane.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Yeah, you could be smelling someone else's food for five hours.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
I hope that people are considerate, like, can't you seal
that stuff? I don't want to sit next to you.
If you got some funky smelling food. People don't care.
They are very inconsiderate. They almost like, well, I pay
for the seats, so I can go ahead and smell
up the cabin. And also, these are foods that TSA
says should be packed with your check luggage, including sparkling cider.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Who's gonna put a bottle in your never mind? Cranberry
sauce homemade or canned, it should be packed mark since
you want to have cranberry sauce.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Yeah, you don't want anybody brandishing some cranberry sauce aboard
a plane.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Maple syrup and gravy homemade or in a can or jar?
Who's carrying a mason jar of gravy on a plane?
Don't answer that. Don't answer that.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
And if you plan to take your food on the plane,
is a carry on. Make sure your.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Dishes that have liquid meet TSA's three one one rule,
which mandates that it must be three point four ounces
or less, fit into one quart size bag, and it
is one bag per passenger, or just cook it when
you get there.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Buy it when you get there. Why has he got
to take it on the plane with you? Yeah? What
are they?
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Is this an article for the Jodes traveling in their
Prairie schooners? Who carries all that crap on a plane?
Speaker 2 (22:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
I'd never taken food with me on a plane. No,
people don't do that. Well, evidently enough people are because
people are unsure how to do it, and they're doing
it until you know. TSA is putting out these rules,
and I'm reading it right here for you.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Here's a little pro tip for if somebody is sitting
next to you with stinky foods that have no business
being on a plane, rules or not, that's the time
you crack open your laptop and fire up a rotten
movie because you paid for your seat too. It can be,
you know, an old Italian gore film. It could be
it could be porn. You've got to judge the person
(23:16):
sitting next to you and what will defend them the most.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
You know that other people beyond just a person sitting
next to you, can see your screen.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
But if somebody starts waging a war with you or
like that with their food, all bets are off.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
It's called collateral damage. You can do what you have
to do. It could be other kids around. Says well,
I don't like flying, the whole concept of it. Every
time I hear about this, whether there's someone fighting or
someone getting drunk, or I just say I just won't
see y'all. Yeah, just stay home. Yeah, you come to California. No,
don't come to California. I get that problem all the time.
(23:50):
Everybody wants to use my house as an airbnb. Yeah, no,
you don't want this problem. Mark you talking about buying
a house in California. You don't want my problem. Come
to Moe's villa. No, No, stay your ass where you are.
It's Later with Mo Kelly CAFI AM six forty. We're
live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
And I love looking at the news like just about
anyone else. And you may see a story and say like,
oh my goodness, that's such a shame. I was looking
forward to that. Did you see the story about the
La Latin Music Festival, which was going to feature Pitbull, Shakira,
Los Tigres del Norte and others. It's supposed to happen
at Dodger Stadium on December twenty first, but back on
(24:37):
Monday it was canceled as in yesterday, And I'm thinking,
as someone who worked in the music industry, something horrible
is about to happen to these concert promoters.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
To cancel a date less than a month.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Before it's supposed to happen, someone lost millions of dollars.
And what I mean by that is regardless of the
actual reasons why it was canceled, And I don't care
about that. I care more about what was happening behind
the scenes. If you did it for low ticket sales,
if you did it because someone couldn't come up with
a guarantee whatever Dodger Stadium has to hold that date.
(25:20):
You're paying Dodger Stadium to say, hey, we know that
you could have made money with this other concert tour
or something something something going on that day, but we're
going to pay you Dodger Stadium to hold December twenty
first for this La Latin Music Festival, and you canceled
thirty days out. Well, whatever they put down as a deposit,
(25:41):
they're not getting back, and there's probably some penalty on
top of it. To while you have produced a bunch
of music concerts more than me.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
What jumped out at you.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
The first thing I saw about this was whatever had
to be the reason for them canceling had to be major.
Only once in my lifetime have I ever come up
again to show that we thought was going to be
canceled because the station where we were promoting it went
under and that took everything away from our promotion. But
(26:16):
because we had already reserved the venue, this was when
it was Universal Amphitheater, and we had already put our
down payment down, we had already taken care of the insurance,
we stood to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars in
money that was already promised to the venue.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
That's only a quarter of the size of Doctor Silf.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
Like a penny to a dollar. But I saw this,
I said to myself, my god, what could have happened
for this to be canceled, and you have all of
these guarantees that you have already put down for the artists.
If the artists were coming out, you have had to
have paid at least half of the deposit for the artists.
(26:57):
But this close to the date, you're not paying them
when they get there. These artists have already sent their
writer and they've already sent their half now guaranteed. This
is what you're going to pay me now, so that
I know you're serious. I will get the rest upon arrival.
They've lost a whole lot, and this is form. This
is an event which.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Is probably still due because these artists. Shakira could have
made more money elsewhere because she saved this date.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
The Many artists have clauses in their contracts where unless
it is a natural disaster, you are going to pay.
It doesn't matter if there was going to be rain
on this day, they still would have had to make
provisions for this concert to happen. This is so so
(27:43):
bad for that it reminds me of the time Rest
in Peace DJ Prime Time and a promoter who used
to promote concerts all the time on my station back
in the day. He had reserved the Staple Center to
hold a concert, and I believe at the time one
of this headliners was shocked the Staple Sens.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Staple Center is still one third the size to Doctor Stadium,
and he had to cancel last minute.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
This poor brother had to go into foreclosure. It damn
near wrecked his entire life. I know this is bad
for these individuals.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Not only that the promoter most likely can be sued
by the performance artist and maybe the venue, depending on
the reason why it was canceled. I just known the
concerts that I was doing. You have the not that
you guarantee, and if you if you uh don't follow
through on that contract, you're opening yourself up to a
(28:40):
lot of litigation. Oh absolutely lot, and not just the
money you owe the tickets. They say that right now
the people are already having trouble going on and refunding
because tickets have already been sold. This is an event
that that the tickets were already up and running to
have to refund this money. The old only thing that
(29:00):
I can see these promoters doing is running, and they
will never ever do anything else anywhere. No one else
will ever take a contract or deal with them unless
they are backed by goog gobs of money. Yeah, I
don't see how that would be the case, and not
even give you the name. It's the Best of Mimucho
(29:22):
Latin Music Festival. It could be any number of reasons.
But when the.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Whole concert is canceled.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
That says to me that either the ticket sales were
so sluggish that they knew they were not going to
be able to pay the artists, and I've been in
that situation before, I know what that is like, or
something else that we don't know. I mean, that was
really serious. This is the last case, worst case scenario.
You would rather put on the event in the hopes
(29:50):
of just making some of your money back so you
could at least fulfill your agreement with the venue. You
can maybe negotiate something with the artists, but the venue
they want their money.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
That night, they don't get their money. The venue is
absolutely going to get their money. There is no win
for this for these individuals, even if they had an
investor group backing them to put this on. Whoever, the
individuals that are behind the Best in May Mood Chill Festival,
they've lost everything. These are individuals who will likely have
(30:23):
to put their houses, sell their cars, everything is going
up for sale. There's no way they're walking away from this.
