Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
kf I Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Key Show, social media, Facebook extract, vil.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Viral load, viral load, the viral load. Lady k if
I Am six forty is Later with Mo Kelly alive
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. She's back, She's viral. Yes,
she's loading.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Toody Hobbs, take it away.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Very loaded. Okay.
Speaker 5 (00:45):
Another very loaded topic has been the Grammys, of which
were just held. A lot of viral moments came out
of the Grammys. Of course, you saw Kanye's wife. You
saw the reactions to war.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
No, no, we didn't see his wife.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
We saw every nookiing, cranny, crevice, dimple.
Speaker 6 (01:08):
Blimish, nothing left to the imagination.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
For people don't know. She walked out on the red carpet.
They weren't even invited to the Grammys. Kanye and his
wife bianchis sin sorry. And she was wearing a nude dress.
When I say nude, I mean completely new.
Speaker 6 (01:22):
There's nothing.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
I think she had a choker maybe around her neck
that was it, just a necklace of some sort. And
that's not the story that we're covering because we're not
going to really give that that much attention. The story
is about Grammy Award winning musical icon Babyface. Babyface who
is Kenny Edmonds, longtime producer, longtime artist, amazing singer, songwriter,
(01:49):
has written for everyone, Madonna.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
He's one of the most proliferents songwriters of the nineteen nineties.
Second maybe maybe eclipsing Jimmy jam and Terry Lewis and
David Foster.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
He's right there behind Diane Warren up there in that
same class again an icon. He's on the Grammy's Red carpet,
and on the red carpet people interview the ap associated
press is out there.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
They sent a.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
Few of their reporters to do interviews and two women
were on the carpet. As Babyface approached, they called Babyface over,
and this is what happened.
Speaker 7 (02:31):
Can you talk about just this new trend that we're
seeing an R and B where we're seeing more of
a fusion.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
We're seeing people blend the.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Genre with pop, blend the genre with hip hop and
rock as well.
Speaker 6 (02:42):
Yes, so I think though it's interesting, Chapel chapel, you
guys want.
Speaker 7 (02:49):
To go through that.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
If they were interviewing Babyface, yes, they saw chapel Rong. Yes.
They called out the Chapel Roll yes while interviewing Babyface
mid answer, and Babyface was kind enough I would say
to say, you know, go ahead and handle that, because
obviously your attention is elsewhere, and they actually left him
(03:14):
to start an interview.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
With Chapel Rong.
Speaker 6 (03:16):
That is exactly what happened.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
And this interview, which was very cut, very short, as
you can hear there, has gone viral because the Internet
just went ballistic, and rightfully so, accusing these two AP
reporters of being disrespectful to this living legend, Babyface, and
saying that, hey, it's okay to want to interview the
(03:38):
next hot thing, the up and coming hot thing, but
you end one interview, especially with an icon, with this legend,
and then you move on. You don't cut it short
in the middle. Because this interview has gone viral, the
two AP reporters have both issued apologies separately and through
the Associated Press, and they were reported to be friends
(04:01):
prior to this interview. They are apparently no longer following
each other these two AP reporters on their social media pages,
as one of the reporters specifically is trying to distance
herself as much as possible from this fiasco. She's saying,
you know, I never intended to interrupt Babyface. I respect him,
(04:21):
I am very knowledgeable of his work, and I didn't
mean for that to happen, Whereas the other one has
continued being a bit dismissive, and so this has made
just for a huge conundrum.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Let me just say this, I don't know if I
can think of a time where I, at least in
recent memory, saw someone a part of a venerable organization
like AP reporters. It's not like they're doing so and
so's blog, yeah, YouTube channel two. It's the AP to
show something to be so demonstrably unprofessional very much so,
(04:54):
I understand those interviews are never longer than two minutes, right,
And if you're working together, one of y'all could have
walked over there and tried to hold up chaperone and say, hey,
we want to come to you next.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
I've been in that situation. I've done that.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
And Babyface has two He's forty years in the music industry.
He understands what a red carpet is. He understands the
perishableness of a red carpet, and that you move along
it's like a conveyor belt. But you don't cut it
the way as you heard there in that audio they did,
because it just makes you a target.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
He let the man finish his answer, did you cut it?
There you go? There you go.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
The next story also has to do with some audio
that came out of a viral moment, and let me.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Set it up for you.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
First.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
There's a classroom. There is a teacher at this point.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
It is said to be a college classroom, so either
college or upper high school by the looks of the
video which has gone viral, and this teacher or professor
is at the front. He is responding to a question
that may have been asked off of our out of
our purview, and the answer that is given is very polarizing.
(06:07):
Some might say that it is insensitive, and some might
even call it racist or prejudiced. But after you hear
this clip, I will tell you how the Internet has
gotten their mass reaction wrong.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Let's roll the clip.
Speaker 7 (06:26):
Why do we have.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I don't want to be with your kid.
Speaker 8 (06:37):
Anyway?
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (06:40):
So you hear in that clip this professor say why
do we have gated communities? Because I don't want to
be with your kind and a person says something, there's
some response there, and the professor a teacher goes on
to say not for long, insinuating that people who perhaps
(07:02):
maybe not necessarily in this country.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Legally would then be deported soon enough.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
That's kind of the suggestion of the clip, as well
as removing oneself from maybe other minorities.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
But here's how the Internet got it wrong.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Of course, when you first hear that, it is easy
to categorize this as a racist tirade, but the devil
was in the details. You go into the comments of
this now viral clip, and what has been uncovered is
that this teacher or professor was merely role playing, and
(07:39):
he was giving kind of antithesis or an antithesis or
an oppositional statement to students who were asking questions about
how to interact with people in this current political climate,
who may have strong opinions about race and diversity in
their own neighborhoods.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
So this professor or teacher was actually.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Arming them or preparing them in a debate style class
for possible reactions to their statements or questions, and he
was recorded and uploaded without context.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Clearly, whoever uploaded it and whoever recorded it knew the context,
and they were just trying to.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Set them up exactly.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
And that is a huge issue when it comes to
media literacy. You don't know the full context of a clip,
it's very easy to draw conclusions, and it's very easy
to supplant situations and create these situations so that people
can come up with their own ideas that may not
(08:45):
be rooted in fact. This is an example of that.
This professor or teacher now is the target of a
lot of vitriol. But what's happening is people in that
class are coming up and explaining and saying, hey, that's
not at all what was happening. Our professor is not
at all racist or bigoted. He was merely role playing
(09:06):
and giving us possibilities of what might happen in an
interaction with people who are racist or bigoted.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
I hate the Internet.
Speaker 6 (09:15):
The Internet is a very tricky place.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
I hate the Internet.
Speaker 7 (09:18):
That I did. Yeah, there we go.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Let's come back and do some more of the viral
load with Tiffany Hompson. Just a moment.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
If I am six forty, it's later with mo Kelly.
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Now it's Suffer My Room Little.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
With Tiffany Live on camfile, Sir we O Kelly.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
She'll talk about the toughness on social media. Room Alone
with Tiffany humps can if I Am six forty Its
Later with Mo Kelly Live Everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Is part two of the viral Lobla tiffty hobbes MO.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
What is fomo?
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Fom? Are you familiar with fear of missing out? Okay,
a very popular acronym. You've seen it in social media.
But have you seen poe bo?
Speaker 4 (10:20):
I've seen a f O.
Speaker 5 (10:23):
There's a new phenomenon on social media that is considered
to be kind of like the evil brother of fomo
and phobo.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Is actually described as.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
Quote the anxiety that something better will come along, which
makes it undesirable to commit to existing choices when making.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
A decision, is relationships or something.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
It is talking about anything that requires you to make
a decision between one or more things, and it is
the newest trend taking hold.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
In the viral world of social media.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
There are lots of people who are saying, you know, hey,
I'm caught between a rock and a hard place. I'm
caught between two jobs or two relationships, like you talked
about with the possible Will Ferrell Jennifer Aniston movie. I'm
glad we're pitching them as actors for movie, and I
want all.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Credit if they get cast in at all the credit.
Perfect casting for that.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
But if you're caught between two or more decisions, there's
the idea of fear of better out there, fear of
better out there, fobo that if you commit to one thing,
oh no, you might in fact be missing out on
something better.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
But this isn't that life, that's life.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
Yeah, And people are saying that it could include, of course,
something as small as picking from a menu. Say you
want the spaghetti or you want the pasta, but on
the other side of the menu there's a great steak dinner,
and now you're caught in the middle, and it cost
there's so much anxiety.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
I figured that out. My OCD figures that out for me.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
When I have go to a restaurant that I have
something that I know I love, I always get that
because I know I'm guaranteed to have a certain level
of enjoyment if I pick my favorite food off the menu.
My fear is choosing something else and then having a
lesser experience when I should have gone with my first
mind and go with.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
What I knew.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
So yours is more a fear of missing the greater
experience versus.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
So the known experience. I know what you know.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
I know what I get when i'm let's say I'm
going to Denny's, I'm gonna get my you know, French lam.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
I know that's what I'm gonna get.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
So fear of missing out on familiarity doesn't have the
same ring as phobo.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Right, I need these fun rings. Why am I going
to complicate the decision get the stuff you want?
Speaker 7 (12:43):
Well?
Speaker 5 (12:43):
The thing about it is, well where you are able
to uncomplicate your life. There are people who are leaning
fully into phobo as the newest acronym. You'll start to
see it everywhere because people are saying, again, what if
there's something even better out there? So you'll see this bagline.
Phobo most likely popping up through twenty twenty five. Is
(13:04):
one of the newer acronyms that's popular. It may even
end up in the Dictionary at the end of the year.
We'll see I was child of my lad exactly perfect
that it could be called Phobo.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
To be honest, the movie could be called Phobo, could
be We better like copyright all this before someone tries
to steal it and put it in a movie and
have it star Will Ferrell and Jennifer Andiston and no
one give us any credit. Underwritten Vio latter with mokel
that's right. I want a producer's credit.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Dammit.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Giving all the way this good stuff, the least you
can do is give me a producer's credit.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
Moving on to the next story, there's a really unfortunate
social media trend. There have been lots of unfortunate social
media trends that have gone viral, from the bucket challenge
where people were dumping buckets of water on themselves, to
other challenges that might have put people in harm's way
or even got them locked up, perhaps maybe die. Your
(13:59):
consequence says, well, this one falls within that latter category
of stupidity and really harsh consequences if you should get caught.
There is a new TikTok prank, and it is to
go around asking children if they want to be kidnapped.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
And it's a prank. Okay, let me just stop right there.
One you don't talk to other people's children.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
Period, ever, ever, ever, ever, You don't ever do that
kid in the grocery store who's crying and having a fit.
Speaker 6 (14:39):
No security, No, no, no, we're past those times.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
Yes, and we're certainly and we should have never ever
been even in the vicinity of being in a place
where we're asking kids if they want to be kidnapped.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
But but look, if you happen to be scene asking
a child, not your child, do you want to be kidnapped?
And someone beats the hell out of you because they
heard you ask that, I am all for it.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
And there's another acronym for thata f.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Oh yeah, yeah, there you go. Yep, all for that.
Free ass whippons. Don't talk to other people's kids, don't.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
And if you do, and you decide that you want
to ask a child if they want to be kidnapped, no,
it will likely result in your arrest. And that's what
two teenagers in Texas have found out this week as
they participated in this really stupid viral challenge where they
went up to two kids ages seven and nine as
(15:46):
they were walking home from school and approached these kids
and said, hey, do you want to be kidnapped. The
people who were the ones asking the question, Cain Villareal
nineteen years old and Lane Birch, eighteen years old, both
residents of Kyle, Texas, were arrested on charges of terroristic threats.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Yes, terroristic threats.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
You can't kid around with words like a bomb or kidnap.
You can't do that stuff.
Speaker 7 (16:15):
No.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
And their justification and when they were trying to defend
themselves was saying, hey, no, no, no's we're not We
don't mean any harm. We were just acting out a
TikTok rank.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
I'm question.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
They didn't mean any harm, but it doesn't mean it's
it's legal to do.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
No, And you're stupid if you think that that's something
that's funny in the first place.
Speaker 6 (16:35):
Very dangerous.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
Last story, really quickly, men are flocking to female dominated
yoga and pilates classes and women are outraged. They're saying,
stay away from these female only classes. They're our safe space.
It's where we go to do our stretching, where we
go to do our cardio, and they're women only for
(16:57):
a reason, you stay out. And I'm not talking about
a political statement. I'm talking about specifically men going into
these women only or are women inclusive spaces simply to
quote grunt and moan and make weird noises so as
to interrupt and disrupt these classes.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Just for fun. That sounds like something dudes would.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Do, grunting, slurping and heavy breathing.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
And they should get their ass. Well. I'd be okay
with that too.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
I'm serious, because you're you're going in there trying to
disrupt what is going on.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Now.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
I know that pilates and hot yoga and all that
kind of stuff is much more popular among men now
than ever before. Sure it's not my thing, but I
hear more and more of my friends and colleagues participating
in that. And I did always think, in the back
of my mind, I wonder how welcoming or how appreciated
that is, because historically it was mostly women on the
(18:00):
space where they could be comfortable with themselves, their bodies, right, movements,
all that kind of stuff without worrying about a leering
man's eye right.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
And the reason that this story has gone viral is
that people have taken to their social media pages, of course,
TikTok being the main one to complain about this new
kind of phenomenon of men coming into the spaces and
saying that you know it is not anymore, It's not
quiet and peaceful anymore, one woman said, and another said,
why can't you be seen and not heard? Why do
(18:30):
these men have to come in and do these kind
of extra make these extra sounds, and be just disruptive
deliberately so their responses, their complaints are going viral all
over social media, and people are involved in the you know,
in the conversation where there are some accusations of sexism
(18:51):
towards the women and men are chiming in. But this
is one of the newest social media debates. Should men
be in women's own spaces when it comes to exercise, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
I don't mind if whoever's running the class says I
think it's a safe enough space where men, assuming that
you act right, can be in the space. But I'm
also of the opinion if they want to make it
a woman's only class, which I've seen in many places,
I'm cool with that too. I think it's up to
whoever's teaching the class whether he or she can maintain
(19:22):
control of the environment.
Speaker 6 (19:24):
And if you're invited in, don't be a jerk about it. Right,
be seen and not heard.
Speaker 7 (19:29):
Got that mark. If you're invited in the next time,
we know you have lobo. Okay, does it matter what
I wear? By the way, I got to tell you,
since you're talking about these online pranks, I keep on
seeing these, especially on Reddit pranks where people on escalators
going opposite directions will reach across and touch somebody's boyfriend
(19:51):
or girlfriend in the face and then just get the
absolute hell kicked out of him.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
I'm all for that. Is this proliferating?
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Yes it is. It's everywhere. All I know is if
I'm in a public place and prank or not you
touch my wife, I'm probably going to jail that night.
I'm probably going to jail. How could it be any
other way? What are these people thinking? There's only one response,
and I'm not waiting for an explanation afterward, and that's
(20:18):
probably going to make it worse. He's no, no, no, no,
it's just from TikTok oh. Okay.
Speaker 7 (20:22):
I mean we used to see viral videos of people
getting pranks, startled by somebody who would pop out of
say a dumpster or a garbage can, maybe in costume,
maybe not, And about every I don't know, sixth or
seventh person would just jack them unconscious right there. They
wouldn't feign a surprise or run or shriek. They just
punched the guy out immediately reflexively.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
You may not say this, but I'm going to say this,
and this is something which is culturally specific.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Leave black people alone when it comes to those pranks.
I feel like I need this.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
We do not respond. I'm being very serious.
Speaker 7 (20:56):
Well, you're right, it's always a black guy in the
videos who punches the other person out.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Leave us alone.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
We do not respond well to pranks, maybe because we
come from usually from a more aggressive environment, so something
like that is perceived as a threat and we respond accordingly.
I know I'm being very you know, generalizing, but I'm
just saying, leave us alone when it comes to those pranks.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
You're much safer that way.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
And to further that point, which is that's why people
like me and Moe would not enjoy a Halloween horror next.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Correct, right there? Correct, Nah, don't try to touch me.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Dog, we're going this year.
Speaker 7 (21:35):
We're not.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
We're not.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
No, we want to jail there, and I don't need
to go to jail.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
Let me film it so we can go viral and
be on the viral load.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Oh gosh, you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on
demand from KFI Am sixty with mo Kelly.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Six Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Last night, I was talking about this new show that
I've fallen in love with called Paradise. It's on Hulu.
I don't know how I found my way to it.
I think I saw an interview with two of its stars,
James Marsden and Sterling K. Brown, and it seemed like, okay.
James Marston, he's playing the President.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Sterling K.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Brown, he's playing head of the Secret Service detail guarding
the President.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Said Oh, that's cool enough. I like that kind of stuff.
It seemed like there was.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Some government intrigue. But I didn't hear anything about the plot.
And if you should happen to know the plot, no,
I am not going to give it away, fear not.
But I did say it's really it's compelling TV. And
I say give it the first episode, just one episode,
and if you're not in after the first episode it's
(22:51):
a consequential episode, don't watch anymore. But I believe if
you watch the first episode, you'll want to stick with
the series.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
Unless your name is Mark Ronner and had it messed
up for you prior to No, here's what happened again
last night.
Speaker 7 (23:05):
I told you before that it was on The Long
Suffering One was on episode three while I was in
the room, and I asked her to kindly watch it
during the vast amount of time I'm at work so
she doesn't spoil.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
It for me.
Speaker 7 (23:16):
And she's like, just don't pay attention, look at your computer.
So meanwhile, the end of the third episode is ruined
for me. Last night, I come home and she's still up,
which isn't a very common thing. I'm in the next
room over and I can hear her watching the show saying,
oh no, oh no, they didn't just do blank to blank,
And I'm like, what are you.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Doing so you can't go to movies together?
Speaker 7 (23:41):
No, It's like the old Happy Days episode where Ralph
Mouth has seen everything and finally the dad gets angry
and says, we're going for a walk. Ralph, have you
seen that too? Yeah, you don't want anyone spoiling this
for you. But Stephen, you watched episode one last night.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
I did. What were your thoughts or conclusions? All I
can say is.
Speaker 8 (24:03):
Because I don't want to like oversell it because Moke
kind of understold it, but you won't know what's coming next.
That's like the best way to describe it, because of
the way that they play it out. And he's also right,
it's the dialogue is like they're just having a conversation.
Like it doesn't sound like there's a lot of parts
where I'm like, oh, this is a written thing, but
(24:24):
it doesn't feel like it. It just feels so natural.
And he was right about James Marson. He's having fun
and he did great in his role, Like he's doing well,
he's doing really well. But yeah, you just can't tell
what direction it's going to go. You're constantly on the
whole time. The whole time, I was like half asleep
(24:49):
and I started that ten minutes in. I couldn't stop
watching it. It was so compelling. There are four episodes out.
I've seen them all, and each one is consequential in
its own way. And I'm not going to say anything
beyond that, but I just say to you, as I
say to everyone, just watch the first episode. You can
give up forty minutes of a given night and you
(25:10):
won't feel robbed of those forty minutes. No because usually
those types of shows, because it does have a decent
amount of dialogue, but it doesn't drag. It keeps you
just into the moment and you get just without spoiling anything.
You get to that end, you're you're gonna want to
watch the next one. I wanted to, but I was
(25:31):
have to sleep. And also, the initial plot point happens
early on. It's not like you're waiting for something to happen. Yes,
it's early on. And that's actually I'm glad you brought
that up because that's also ironic too, is that you're
basically given the plot point in the beginning, so you think, oh,
we're going left, and then literally in five minutes you're like, oh,
(25:54):
wait a minute, that's not where we're going. We're going
somewhere else. And that's what it does the entire episode,
and then you get to the end. It's just completely
just mind blowing.
Speaker 7 (26:04):
For me.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
I wasn't clear on who I was.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Supposed to root for or against, and that has remained
consistent throughout the four episodes. I'm unsure of everyone's motivations.
Everyone everyone, that's all I'll say. I'll shut up because
there are other people in the studio need to do
their homework before coming to class.
Speaker 7 (26:26):
Well, I need one of those men in black mind
wipes so I can go back and start. For you again,
I understand, I understand, and I'm sorry that it was
ruined for you in that way. Actually, could you call
her up and talk to her? No, I don't think
that'd be goodter, No, I think it'd be funny. She
she never listens to the show. She might not expect it.
She's not listening to us right now. And if you
could call her up and just scold her, be like,
what were you thinking? That probably doesn't sound like a
(26:49):
good idea. No, no, No, it'd be funny, trust me. Yeah,
she seems like that she'd be open to be scolded her. So,
Tiffany High, when are you going to complete the homework assignment?
Speaker 6 (27:01):
I plan to watch it tomorrow, and I am excited.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
We were talking off air and I made some parallels
and you were kind of saying, yeah, it's kind of
like that, but not like that. And I think the
ambiguity of it all made me even that much more
intrigued because it didn't seem like you really know what's
going on, And so I'm interested.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
In finding it. It changes from episode to episode because
it's almost like they very slowly open the aperture on
the lens and what you initially see as you only
focused in a very narrow field a vision, and then
it gets wider, you get a larger sense of what's
going on beyond the characters.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
That's the only way I can describe it.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
And it gets the picture gets bigger and bigger, bigger
with each episode where you find out not only what's
happening with these five or six people at the beginning,
but also everyone around them.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
See it sounds like it's smart, Like it's a very
very smart, intelligent series, and I'm looking for something like that.
I just finished one that was kind of, you know,
kind of lighthearted, younger.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
I love it.
Speaker 6 (28:07):
It's on Netflix.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
Which one is that about it?
Speaker 5 (28:09):
That's the one about the woman who is in her forties, Hello,
who pretends to be twenty seven to get a job
at a major publishing house, a book publishing house, And
she pretends because of agism, and she does, in fact
land the job. Then she has to keep up the
charade of being twenty seven with all of the coworkers,
the whole team family, trying not to let her worlds
(28:32):
collapse onto each other.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
It's really good.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
You like kids.
Speaker 6 (28:36):
She hasn't an eighteen or nineteen year old kid.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
It's funny, it's mindless comedy, but it's really smart and
well done. But I'm finished, and you know when you
finish a good series, how you're just kind of empty empty? Yep,
I'm empty now and I am mourning what I've now finished,
and I need something new, and Paradise sounds perfect.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
It's almost like when you binge. It's almost like dating relationships.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
When a dating relationship comes to an unfortunate end, you
need a rebound. Hey, you need to hurry up and
get on. You know, the best way to get over
someone is to get under someone. The best cure for
a show is another show. Yes, it's Later with mo Kelly.
When we come back, we'll check in with George Norriy,
who probably thinks very little of me with that remark.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
KFI Moll Kelly Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Coming
up next is Coast to Coast am with George Norri
and he joins me for a preview. Good evening, sir,
mister Kelly, We've got lots going on tonight.
Speaker 5 (29:43):
We're going to talk a little bit about how to
keep going on after life throws a curveball at you.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
And then later on UFO's Outside of the United States.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
George, if I haven't told you lately, you complete me.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
By the way that was attack you remark you used.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
I can't disagree with you, but thank you for listening.
George always bye.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
So yeah, the tack he remarked that he was referring to,
I feel obligated to refresh people's memory. We were talking
about the feeling of loss after ending one show that
you were binging, and it's almost like ending a relationship
and you feel empty, you feel lonely. And I made
the comparison it's kind of like when you're dating someone
(30:31):
you have an unexpected breakup, and the best way to
get over someone is to get under someone else. That's
all just want to you know. So people knew that
what he was referring to as far as being tacking. Yeah,
Like Bill Handle will say, Okay, I think we're not here.
Got my final thought something new that we've been doing
(30:52):
on the show kind of has to do with the
show and kind of has to do with life in general.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
And I thought about Mark Ron when I wrote this.
You'll know why in just a second.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
We often hear about how people are angry at Disney,
can't stand there, woke castings quote. If you go woke,
you go broke close quote you know the same. But
the truth is, Disney movies were four of the top
five movies in America last year. And here's another truth.
You can make the argument that Disney single handedly kept
(31:24):
your favorite movie theater in business, no exaggeration. Without Disney,
you can bet your favorite theater would be gone. It's
just a fact. What's also a fact is that Disney's
not going anywhere and creates art for the world, not
just to please one single political ideology in a single country.
Put another way, if you're mad, nobody cares cry more,
(31:47):
matter less. On the other side, I often hear I
can't stand Tesla. I'd never buy a Tesla just because
of that guy, Elon Musk. He's been in the news
a lot lately. Or if they don't call him Elon,
they'll call him Elmo. Apartheid Clyde, that's my favorite. Or
space Karen, you get my point. Kind of funny actually,
(32:11):
but you get the point. Here's another point. Without Elon Musk,
the EV market as we know it, now know it
and pay attention very closely green energy folks. Without Elon Musk,
the EV market likely does not exist. I didn't say
he invented it. I'm saying facts or facts. And you
(32:31):
know there are other EV companies out there, but Tesla
is the one which kind of got that ball rolling.
And same is true for privatized space as we know it.
So you yelling from the rooftops that you won't ever
buy a Tesla doesn't mean a damn thing. Nobody cares
cry more, matter less. But here's what I want to
(32:52):
say tonight. How about we just spend our money how
we want, where we want, for whatever reasons we want,
and just leave it at that, because honestly, and you've
heard me say this many times, there is no such
thing as cancel culture. Nobody has ever been canceled. Here's
some more truths. Mel Gibson is still acting and the
(33:12):
director of a top ten movie. Right now. Donald Trump
is president again right now. Hell Alec Baldwin just dropped
a new reality TV series trailer today and his ass
shot and killed someone a few years ago. If that
dude can't get canceled, there is no such thing as
(33:34):
canceled culture. So I want to leave you with this.
Just go spend your money however you want, with whomever
you want. I don't care where you refuse to spend
your money, and I don't think you should care where
I refuse to spend my money. Nobody's getting canceled, and
no one's changing anyone's minds and definitely not stealing anyone's joy.
(33:57):
And besides, this place could use a little bit more joy.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
So this is what I would like you to do.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Go drive your Tesla or don't, or don't go buy
yourself with Tesla, or don't go see Captain America Brave
New World like me and the Fellas are going to
do next week, or don't because it really doesn't matter.
Disney's not going anywhere, Donald Trump is not going anywhere.
Elon Musk and Tesla they're not going anywhere. In the
(34:25):
world is going to keep on spinning. But what I
would like you to do is just exhale for once,
Just breathe. It's later with Mo Kelly. We're live everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Remember when you used to have to have a radio
to listen to gaf I, k s I, KOs HD
two Los Angeles, Orange County, Live everywhere on the radio
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
kf I Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Key Show, social media, Facebook extract, vil.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Viral load, viral load, the viral load. Lady k if
I Am six forty is Later with Mo Kelly alive
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. She's back, She's viral. Yes,
she's loading.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Toody Hobbs, take it away.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Very loaded. Okay.
Speaker 5 (00:45):
Another very loaded topic has been the Grammys, of which
were just held. A lot of viral moments came out
of the Grammys. Of course, you saw Kanye's wife. You
saw the reactions to war.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
No, no, we didn't see his wife.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
We saw every nookiing, cranny, crevice, dimple.
Speaker 6 (01:08):
Blimish, nothing left to the imagination.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
For people don't know. She walked out on the red carpet.
They weren't even invited to the Grammys. Kanye and his
wife bianchis sin sorry. And she was wearing a nude dress.
When I say nude, I mean completely new.
Speaker 6 (01:22):
There's nothing.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
I think she had a choker maybe around her neck
that was it, just a necklace of some sort. And
that's not the story that we're covering because we're not
going to really give that that much attention. The story
is about Grammy Award winning musical icon Babyface. Babyface who
is Kenny Edmonds, longtime producer, longtime artist, amazing singer, songwriter,
(01:49):
has written for everyone, Madonna.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
He's one of the most proliferents songwriters of the nineteen nineties.
Second maybe maybe eclipsing Jimmy jam and Terry Lewis and
David Foster.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
He's right there behind Diane Warren up there in that
same class again an icon. He's on the Grammy's Red carpet,
and on the red carpet people interview the ap associated
press is out there.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
They sent a.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
Few of their reporters to do interviews and two women
were on the carpet. As Babyface approached, they called Babyface over,
and this is what happened.
Speaker 7 (02:31):
Can you talk about just this new trend that we're
seeing an R and B where we're seeing more of
a fusion.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
We're seeing people blend the.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Genre with pop, blend the genre with hip hop and
rock as well.
Speaker 6 (02:42):
Yes, so I think though it's interesting, Chapel chapel, you
guys want.
Speaker 7 (02:49):
To go through that.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
If they were interviewing Babyface, yes, they saw chapel Rong. Yes.
They called out the Chapel Roll yes while interviewing Babyface
mid answer, and Babyface was kind enough I would say
to say, you know, go ahead and handle that, because
obviously your attention is elsewhere, and they actually left him
(03:14):
to start an interview.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
With Chapel Rong.
Speaker 6 (03:16):
That is exactly what happened.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
And this interview, which was very cut, very short, as
you can hear there, has gone viral because the Internet
just went ballistic, and rightfully so, accusing these two AP
reporters of being disrespectful to this living legend, Babyface, and
saying that, hey, it's okay to want to interview the
(03:38):
next hot thing, the up and coming hot thing, but
you end one interview, especially with an icon, with this legend,
and then you move on. You don't cut it short
in the middle. Because this interview has gone viral, the
two AP reporters have both issued apologies separately and through
the Associated Press, and they were reported to be friends
(04:01):
prior to this interview. They are apparently no longer following
each other these two AP reporters on their social media pages,
as one of the reporters specifically is trying to distance
herself as much as possible from this fiasco. She's saying,
you know, I never intended to interrupt Babyface. I respect him,
(04:21):
I am very knowledgeable of his work, and I didn't
mean for that to happen, Whereas the other one has
continued being a bit dismissive, and so this has made
just for a huge conundrum.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Let me just say this, I don't know if I
can think of a time where I, at least in
recent memory, saw someone a part of a venerable organization
like AP reporters. It's not like they're doing so and
so's blog, yeah, YouTube channel two. It's the AP to
show something to be so demonstrably unprofessional very much so,
(04:54):
I understand those interviews are never longer than two minutes, right,
And if you're working together, one of y'all could have
walked over there and tried to hold up chaperone and say, hey,
we want to come to you next.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
I've been in that situation. I've done that.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
And Babyface has two He's forty years in the music industry.
He understands what a red carpet is. He understands the
perishableness of a red carpet, and that you move along
it's like a conveyor belt. But you don't cut it
the way as you heard there in that audio they did,
because it just makes you a target.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
He let the man finish his answer, did you cut it?
There you go? There you go.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
The next story also has to do with some audio
that came out of a viral moment, and let me.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Set it up for you.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
First.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
There's a classroom. There is a teacher at this point.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
It is said to be a college classroom, so either
college or upper high school by the looks of the
video which has gone viral, and this teacher or professor
is at the front. He is responding to a question
that may have been asked off of our out of
our purview, and the answer that is given is very polarizing.
(06:07):
Some might say that it is insensitive, and some might
even call it racist or prejudiced. But after you hear
this clip, I will tell you how the Internet has
gotten their mass reaction wrong.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Let's roll the clip.
Speaker 7 (06:26):
Why do we have.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I don't want to be with your kid.
Speaker 8 (06:37):
Anyway?
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (06:40):
So you hear in that clip this professor say why
do we have gated communities? Because I don't want to
be with your kind and a person says something, there's
some response there, and the professor a teacher goes on
to say not for long, insinuating that people who perhaps
(07:02):
maybe not necessarily in this country.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Legally would then be deported soon enough.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
That's kind of the suggestion of the clip, as well
as removing oneself from maybe other minorities.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
But here's how the Internet got it wrong.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Of course, when you first hear that, it is easy
to categorize this as a racist tirade, but the devil
was in the details. You go into the comments of
this now viral clip, and what has been uncovered is
that this teacher or professor was merely role playing, and
(07:39):
he was giving kind of antithesis or an antithesis or
an oppositional statement to students who were asking questions about
how to interact with people in this current political climate,
who may have strong opinions about race and diversity in
their own neighborhoods.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
So this professor or teacher was actually.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Arming them or preparing them in a debate style class
for possible reactions to their statements or questions, and he
was recorded and uploaded without context.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Clearly, whoever uploaded it and whoever recorded it knew the context,
and they were just trying to.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Set them up exactly.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
And that is a huge issue when it comes to
media literacy. You don't know the full context of a clip,
it's very easy to draw conclusions, and it's very easy
to supplant situations and create these situations so that people
can come up with their own ideas that may not
(08:45):
be rooted in fact. This is an example of that.
This professor or teacher now is the target of a
lot of vitriol. But what's happening is people in that
class are coming up and explaining and saying, hey, that's
not at all what was happening. Our professor is not
at all racist or bigoted. He was merely role playing
(09:06):
and giving us possibilities of what might happen in an
interaction with people who are racist or bigoted.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
I hate the Internet.
Speaker 6 (09:15):
The Internet is a very tricky place.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
I hate the Internet.
Speaker 7 (09:18):
That I did. Yeah, there we go.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Let's come back and do some more of the viral
load with Tiffany Hompson. Just a moment.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
If I am six forty, it's later with mo Kelly.
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Now it's Suffer My Room Little.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
With Tiffany Live on camfile, Sir we O Kelly.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
She'll talk about the toughness on social media. Room Alone
with Tiffany humps can if I Am six forty Its
Later with Mo Kelly Live Everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Is part two of the viral Lobla tiffty hobbes MO.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
What is fomo?
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Fom? Are you familiar with fear of missing out? Okay,
a very popular acronym. You've seen it in social media.
But have you seen poe bo?
Speaker 4 (10:20):
I've seen a f O.
Speaker 5 (10:23):
There's a new phenomenon on social media that is considered
to be kind of like the evil brother of fomo
and phobo.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Is actually described as.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
Quote the anxiety that something better will come along, which
makes it undesirable to commit to existing choices when making.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
A decision, is relationships or something.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
It is talking about anything that requires you to make
a decision between one or more things, and it is
the newest trend taking hold.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
In the viral world of social media.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
There are lots of people who are saying, you know, hey,
I'm caught between a rock and a hard place. I'm
caught between two jobs or two relationships, like you talked
about with the possible Will Ferrell Jennifer Aniston movie. I'm
glad we're pitching them as actors for movie, and I
want all.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Credit if they get cast in at all the credit.
Perfect casting for that.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
But if you're caught between two or more decisions, there's
the idea of fear of better out there, fear of
better out there, fobo that if you commit to one thing,
oh no, you might in fact be missing out on
something better.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
But this isn't that life, that's life.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
Yeah, And people are saying that it could include, of course,
something as small as picking from a menu. Say you
want the spaghetti or you want the pasta, but on
the other side of the menu there's a great steak dinner,
and now you're caught in the middle, and it cost
there's so much anxiety.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
I figured that out. My OCD figures that out for me.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
When I have go to a restaurant that I have
something that I know I love, I always get that
because I know I'm guaranteed to have a certain level
of enjoyment if I pick my favorite food off the menu.
My fear is choosing something else and then having a
lesser experience when I should have gone with my first
mind and go with.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
What I knew.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
So yours is more a fear of missing the greater
experience versus.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
So the known experience. I know what you know.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
I know what I get when i'm let's say I'm
going to Denny's, I'm gonna get my you know, French lam.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
I know that's what I'm gonna get.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
So fear of missing out on familiarity doesn't have the
same ring as phobo.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Right, I need these fun rings. Why am I going
to complicate the decision get the stuff you want?
Speaker 7 (12:43):
Well?
Speaker 5 (12:43):
The thing about it is, well where you are able
to uncomplicate your life. There are people who are leaning
fully into phobo as the newest acronym. You'll start to
see it everywhere because people are saying, again, what if
there's something even better out there? So you'll see this bagline.
Phobo most likely popping up through twenty twenty five. Is
(13:04):
one of the newer acronyms that's popular. It may even
end up in the Dictionary at the end of the year.
We'll see I was child of my lad exactly perfect
that it could be called Phobo.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
To be honest, the movie could be called Phobo, could
be We better like copyright all this before someone tries
to steal it and put it in a movie and
have it star Will Ferrell and Jennifer Andiston and no
one give us any credit. Underwritten Vio latter with mokel
that's right. I want a producer's credit.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Dammit.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Giving all the way this good stuff, the least you
can do is give me a producer's credit.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
Moving on to the next story, there's a really unfortunate
social media trend. There have been lots of unfortunate social
media trends that have gone viral, from the bucket challenge
where people were dumping buckets of water on themselves, to
other challenges that might have put people in harm's way
or even got them locked up, perhaps maybe die. Your
(13:59):
consequence says, well, this one falls within that latter category
of stupidity and really harsh consequences if you should get caught.
There is a new TikTok prank, and it is to
go around asking children if they want to be kidnapped.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
And it's a prank. Okay, let me just stop right there.
One you don't talk to other people's children.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
Period, ever, ever, ever, ever, You don't ever do that
kid in the grocery store who's crying and having a fit.
Speaker 6 (14:39):
No security, No, no, no, we're past those times.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
Yes, and we're certainly and we should have never ever
been even in the vicinity of being in a place
where we're asking kids if they want to be kidnapped.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
But but look, if you happen to be scene asking
a child, not your child, do you want to be kidnapped?
And someone beats the hell out of you because they
heard you ask that, I am all for it.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
And there's another acronym for thata f.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Oh yeah, yeah, there you go. Yep, all for that.
Free ass whippons. Don't talk to other people's kids, don't.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
And if you do, and you decide that you want
to ask a child if they want to be kidnapped, no,
it will likely result in your arrest. And that's what
two teenagers in Texas have found out this week as
they participated in this really stupid viral challenge where they
went up to two kids ages seven and nine as
(15:46):
they were walking home from school and approached these kids
and said, hey, do you want to be kidnapped. The
people who were the ones asking the question, Cain Villareal
nineteen years old and Lane Birch, eighteen years old, both
residents of Kyle, Texas, were arrested on charges of terroristic threats.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Yes, terroristic threats.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
You can't kid around with words like a bomb or kidnap.
You can't do that stuff.
Speaker 7 (16:15):
No.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
And their justification and when they were trying to defend
themselves was saying, hey, no, no, no's we're not We
don't mean any harm. We were just acting out a
TikTok rank.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
I'm question.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
They didn't mean any harm, but it doesn't mean it's
it's legal to do.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
No, And you're stupid if you think that that's something
that's funny in the first place.
Speaker 6 (16:35):
Very dangerous.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
Last story, really quickly, men are flocking to female dominated
yoga and pilates classes and women are outraged. They're saying,
stay away from these female only classes. They're our safe space.
It's where we go to do our stretching, where we
go to do our cardio, and they're women only for
(16:57):
a reason, you stay out. And I'm not talking about
a political statement. I'm talking about specifically men going into
these women only or are women inclusive spaces simply to
quote grunt and moan and make weird noises so as
to interrupt and disrupt these classes.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Just for fun. That sounds like something dudes would.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Do, grunting, slurping and heavy breathing.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
And they should get their ass. Well. I'd be okay
with that too.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
I'm serious, because you're you're going in there trying to
disrupt what is going on.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Now.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
I know that pilates and hot yoga and all that
kind of stuff is much more popular among men now
than ever before. Sure it's not my thing, but I
hear more and more of my friends and colleagues participating
in that. And I did always think, in the back
of my mind, I wonder how welcoming or how appreciated
that is, because historically it was mostly women on the
(18:00):
space where they could be comfortable with themselves, their bodies, right, movements,
all that kind of stuff without worrying about a leering
man's eye right.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
And the reason that this story has gone viral is
that people have taken to their social media pages, of course,
TikTok being the main one to complain about this new
kind of phenomenon of men coming into the spaces and
saying that you know it is not anymore, It's not
quiet and peaceful anymore, one woman said, and another said,
why can't you be seen and not heard? Why do
(18:30):
these men have to come in and do these kind
of extra make these extra sounds, and be just disruptive
deliberately so their responses, their complaints are going viral all
over social media, and people are involved in the you know,
in the conversation where there are some accusations of sexism
(18:51):
towards the women and men are chiming in. But this
is one of the newest social media debates. Should men
be in women's own spaces when it comes to exercise, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
I don't mind if whoever's running the class says I
think it's a safe enough space where men, assuming that
you act right, can be in the space. But I'm
also of the opinion if they want to make it
a woman's only class, which I've seen in many places,
I'm cool with that too. I think it's up to
whoever's teaching the class whether he or she can maintain
(19:22):
control of the environment.
Speaker 6 (19:24):
And if you're invited in, don't be a jerk about it. Right,
be seen and not heard.
Speaker 7 (19:29):
Got that mark. If you're invited in the next time,
we know you have lobo. Okay, does it matter what
I wear? By the way, I got to tell you,
since you're talking about these online pranks, I keep on
seeing these, especially on Reddit pranks where people on escalators
going opposite directions will reach across and touch somebody's boyfriend
(19:51):
or girlfriend in the face and then just get the
absolute hell kicked out of him.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
I'm all for that. Is this proliferating?
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Yes it is. It's everywhere. All I know is if
I'm in a public place and prank or not you
touch my wife, I'm probably going to jail that night.
I'm probably going to jail. How could it be any
other way? What are these people thinking? There's only one response,
and I'm not waiting for an explanation afterward, and that's
(20:18):
probably going to make it worse. He's no, no, no, no,
it's just from TikTok oh. Okay.
Speaker 7 (20:22):
I mean we used to see viral videos of people
getting pranks, startled by somebody who would pop out of
say a dumpster or a garbage can, maybe in costume,
maybe not, And about every I don't know, sixth or
seventh person would just jack them unconscious right there. They
wouldn't feign a surprise or run or shriek. They just
punched the guy out immediately reflexively.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
You may not say this, but I'm going to say this,
and this is something which is culturally specific.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Leave black people alone when it comes to those pranks.
I feel like I need this.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
We do not respond. I'm being very serious.
Speaker 7 (20:56):
Well, you're right, it's always a black guy in the
videos who punches the other person out.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Leave us alone.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
We do not respond well to pranks, maybe because we
come from usually from a more aggressive environment, so something
like that is perceived as a threat and we respond accordingly.
I know I'm being very you know, generalizing, but I'm
just saying, leave us alone when it comes to those pranks.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
You're much safer that way.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
And to further that point, which is that's why people
like me and Moe would not enjoy a Halloween horror next.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Correct, right there? Correct, Nah, don't try to touch me.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Dog, we're going this year.
Speaker 7 (21:35):
We're not.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
We're not.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
No, we want to jail there, and I don't need
to go to jail.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
Let me film it so we can go viral and
be on the viral load.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Oh gosh, you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on
demand from KFI Am sixty with mo Kelly.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Six Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Last night, I was talking about this new show that
I've fallen in love with called Paradise. It's on Hulu.
I don't know how I found my way to it.
I think I saw an interview with two of its stars,
James Marsden and Sterling K. Brown, and it seemed like, okay.
James Marston, he's playing the President.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Sterling K.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Brown, he's playing head of the Secret Service detail guarding
the President.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Said Oh, that's cool enough. I like that kind of stuff.
It seemed like there was.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Some government intrigue. But I didn't hear anything about the plot.
And if you should happen to know the plot, no,
I am not going to give it away, fear not.
But I did say it's really it's compelling TV. And
I say give it the first episode, just one episode,
and if you're not in after the first episode it's
(22:51):
a consequential episode, don't watch anymore. But I believe if
you watch the first episode, you'll want to stick with
the series.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
Unless your name is Mark Ronner and had it messed
up for you prior to No, here's what happened again
last night.
Speaker 7 (23:05):
I told you before that it was on The Long
Suffering One was on episode three while I was in
the room, and I asked her to kindly watch it
during the vast amount of time I'm at work so
she doesn't spoil.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
It for me.
Speaker 7 (23:16):
And she's like, just don't pay attention, look at your computer.
So meanwhile, the end of the third episode is ruined
for me. Last night, I come home and she's still up,
which isn't a very common thing. I'm in the next
room over and I can hear her watching the show saying,
oh no, oh no, they didn't just do blank to blank,
And I'm like, what are you.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Doing so you can't go to movies together?
Speaker 7 (23:41):
No, It's like the old Happy Days episode where Ralph
Mouth has seen everything and finally the dad gets angry
and says, we're going for a walk. Ralph, have you
seen that too? Yeah, you don't want anyone spoiling this
for you. But Stephen, you watched episode one last night.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
I did. What were your thoughts or conclusions? All I
can say is.
Speaker 8 (24:03):
Because I don't want to like oversell it because Moke
kind of understold it, but you won't know what's coming next.
That's like the best way to describe it, because of
the way that they play it out. And he's also right,
it's the dialogue is like they're just having a conversation.
Like it doesn't sound like there's a lot of parts
where I'm like, oh, this is a written thing, but
(24:24):
it doesn't feel like it. It just feels so natural.
And he was right about James Marson. He's having fun
and he did great in his role, Like he's doing well,
he's doing really well. But yeah, you just can't tell
what direction it's going to go. You're constantly on the
whole time. The whole time, I was like half asleep
(24:49):
and I started that ten minutes in. I couldn't stop
watching it. It was so compelling. There are four episodes out.
I've seen them all, and each one is consequential in
its own way. And I'm not going to say anything
beyond that, but I just say to you, as I
say to everyone, just watch the first episode. You can
give up forty minutes of a given night and you
(25:10):
won't feel robbed of those forty minutes. No because usually
those types of shows, because it does have a decent
amount of dialogue, but it doesn't drag. It keeps you
just into the moment and you get just without spoiling anything.
You get to that end, you're you're gonna want to
watch the next one. I wanted to, but I was
(25:31):
have to sleep. And also, the initial plot point happens
early on. It's not like you're waiting for something to happen. Yes,
it's early on. And that's actually I'm glad you brought
that up because that's also ironic too, is that you're
basically given the plot point in the beginning, so you think, oh,
we're going left, and then literally in five minutes you're like, oh,
(25:54):
wait a minute, that's not where we're going. We're going
somewhere else. And that's what it does the entire episode,
and then you get to the end. It's just completely
just mind blowing.
Speaker 7 (26:04):
For me.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
I wasn't clear on who I was.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Supposed to root for or against, and that has remained
consistent throughout the four episodes. I'm unsure of everyone's motivations.
Everyone everyone, that's all I'll say. I'll shut up because
there are other people in the studio need to do
their homework before coming to class.
Speaker 7 (26:26):
Well, I need one of those men in black mind
wipes so I can go back and start. For you again,
I understand, I understand, and I'm sorry that it was
ruined for you in that way. Actually, could you call
her up and talk to her? No, I don't think
that'd be goodter, No, I think it'd be funny. She
she never listens to the show. She might not expect it.
She's not listening to us right now. And if you
could call her up and just scold her, be like,
what were you thinking? That probably doesn't sound like a
(26:49):
good idea. No, no, No, it'd be funny, trust me. Yeah,
she seems like that she'd be open to be scolded her. So,
Tiffany High, when are you going to complete the homework assignment?
Speaker 6 (27:01):
I plan to watch it tomorrow, and I am excited.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
We were talking off air and I made some parallels
and you were kind of saying, yeah, it's kind of
like that, but not like that. And I think the
ambiguity of it all made me even that much more
intrigued because it didn't seem like you really know what's
going on, And so I'm interested.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
In finding it. It changes from episode to episode because
it's almost like they very slowly open the aperture on
the lens and what you initially see as you only
focused in a very narrow field a vision, and then
it gets wider, you get a larger sense of what's
going on beyond the characters.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
That's the only way I can describe it.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
And it gets the picture gets bigger and bigger, bigger
with each episode where you find out not only what's
happening with these five or six people at the beginning,
but also everyone around them.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
See it sounds like it's smart, Like it's a very
very smart, intelligent series, and I'm looking for something like that.
I just finished one that was kind of, you know,
kind of lighthearted, younger.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
I love it.
Speaker 6 (28:07):
It's on Netflix.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
Which one is that about it?
Speaker 5 (28:09):
That's the one about the woman who is in her forties, Hello,
who pretends to be twenty seven to get a job
at a major publishing house, a book publishing house, And
she pretends because of agism, and she does, in fact
land the job. Then she has to keep up the
charade of being twenty seven with all of the coworkers,
the whole team family, trying not to let her worlds
(28:32):
collapse onto each other.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
It's really good.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
You like kids.
Speaker 6 (28:36):
She hasn't an eighteen or nineteen year old kid.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
It's funny, it's mindless comedy, but it's really smart and
well done. But I'm finished, and you know when you
finish a good series, how you're just kind of empty empty? Yep,
I'm empty now and I am mourning what I've now finished,
and I need something new, and Paradise sounds perfect.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
It's almost like when you binge. It's almost like dating relationships.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
When a dating relationship comes to an unfortunate end, you
need a rebound. Hey, you need to hurry up and
get on. You know, the best way to get over
someone is to get under someone. The best cure for
a show is another show. Yes, it's Later with mo Kelly.
When we come back, we'll check in with George Norriy,
who probably thinks very little of me with that remark.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
KFI Moll Kelly Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Coming
up next is Coast to Coast am with George Norri
and he joins me for a preview. Good evening, sir,
mister Kelly, We've got lots going on tonight.
Speaker 5 (29:43):
We're going to talk a little bit about how to
keep going on after life throws a curveball at you.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
And then later on UFO's Outside of the United States.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
George, if I haven't told you lately, you complete me.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
By the way that was attack you remark you used.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
I can't disagree with you, but thank you for listening.
George always bye.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
So yeah, the tack he remarked that he was referring to,
I feel obligated to refresh people's memory. We were talking
about the feeling of loss after ending one show that
you were binging, and it's almost like ending a relationship
and you feel empty, you feel lonely. And I made
the comparison it's kind of like when you're dating someone
(30:31):
you have an unexpected breakup, and the best way to
get over someone is to get under someone else. That's
all just want to you know. So people knew that
what he was referring to as far as being tacking. Yeah,
Like Bill Handle will say, Okay, I think we're not here.
Got my final thought something new that we've been doing
(30:52):
on the show kind of has to do with the
show and kind of has to do with life in general.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
And I thought about Mark Ron when I wrote this.
You'll know why in just a second.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
We often hear about how people are angry at Disney,
can't stand there, woke castings quote. If you go woke,
you go broke close quote you know the same. But
the truth is, Disney movies were four of the top
five movies in America last year. And here's another truth.
You can make the argument that Disney single handedly kept
(31:24):
your favorite movie theater in business, no exaggeration. Without Disney,
you can bet your favorite theater would be gone. It's
just a fact. What's also a fact is that Disney's
not going anywhere and creates art for the world, not
just to please one single political ideology in a single country.
Put another way, if you're mad, nobody cares cry more,
(31:47):
matter less. On the other side, I often hear I
can't stand Tesla. I'd never buy a Tesla just because
of that guy, Elon Musk. He's been in the news
a lot lately. Or if they don't call him Elon,
they'll call him Elmo. Apartheid Clyde, that's my favorite. Or
space Karen, you get my point. Kind of funny actually,
(32:11):
but you get the point. Here's another point. Without Elon Musk,
the EV market as we know it, now know it
and pay attention very closely green energy folks. Without Elon Musk,
the EV market likely does not exist. I didn't say
he invented it. I'm saying facts or facts. And you
(32:31):
know there are other EV companies out there, but Tesla
is the one which kind of got that ball rolling.
And same is true for privatized space as we know it.
So you yelling from the rooftops that you won't ever
buy a Tesla doesn't mean a damn thing. Nobody cares
cry more, matter less. But here's what I want to
(32:52):
say tonight. How about we just spend our money how
we want, where we want, for whatever reasons we want,
and just leave it at that, because honestly, and you've
heard me say this many times, there is no such
thing as cancel culture. Nobody has ever been canceled. Here's
some more truths. Mel Gibson is still acting and the
(33:12):
director of a top ten movie. Right now. Donald Trump
is president again right now. Hell Alec Baldwin just dropped
a new reality TV series trailer today and his ass
shot and killed someone a few years ago. If that
dude can't get canceled, there is no such thing as
(33:34):
canceled culture. So I want to leave you with this.
Just go spend your money however you want, with whomever
you want. I don't care where you refuse to spend
your money, and I don't think you should care where
I refuse to spend my money. Nobody's getting canceled, and
no one's changing anyone's minds and definitely not stealing anyone's joy.
(33:57):
And besides, this place could use a little bit more joy.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
So this is what I would like you to do.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Go drive your Tesla or don't, or don't go buy
yourself with Tesla, or don't go see Captain America Brave
New World like me and the Fellas are going to
do next week, or don't because it really doesn't matter.
Disney's not going anywhere, Donald Trump is not going anywhere.
Elon Musk and Tesla they're not going anywhere. In the
(34:25):
world is going to keep on spinning. But what I
would like you to do is just exhale for once,
Just breathe. It's later with Mo Kelly. We're live everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app.
