Speaker 1 (00:22):
I am six forty. It's later with Moll Kelly. We're
live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. I hope you had
a great weekend. Mine was, That's all it was.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
It was.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Stayed home and watched the Super Bowl and that was
didn't do much, watched a little TV. That was my weekend.
You should have gone with me. Where did you go?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Went to a book sale? No?
Speaker 2 (00:49):
No, no, no, you would have had a lot more fun.
I don't know about that. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
I had big ideas in my head, had a little
bit of free time. It's been officiating any basketball. I
did a martial arts seminar on Saturday, but that was
the totality of my obligations for the weekend. I was
ready to go somewhere to have a I don't know,
hang out with friends, watch the game, and it never materialized.
I realized, you know what, I think, I'm just going
(01:16):
to get some food and go home.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
And that's what I did.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
And I'm glad I did that because that game was booty.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
It was abominable. It was boring.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
We'll talk about it in the halftime show and everything
surrounding the game as the night goes on.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
But you know that was my weekend.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
And did anyone finish the homework assignment this weekend other
than Stefan anyone? I haven't started yet. Gosh, it's turned
into a real homework assignment. I can't get you to
do anything. It turned to assignment in on time.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I mentioned this to you on the way in, and
I know you want a public acknowledgment what And I'm
reluctant to do this, but I started.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
The homework assignment. Oh okay.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I watched the first two Paradise first too, but because
you can't just stop watching at the end of the
first one, because they really drop one of it.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Yes they did. I won't spoil.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Anything for anybody as much as it was spoiled for
me because the Long Suffering One started watching it while
I was in the room. But I went back to
the beginning and salvaged it. And it's terrific. It's a
good show. And this is the only time you were
right and we're gonna move on.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
When you heard the.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Long Suffering One watching the show, did it tell you
too much about how the show started?
Speaker 2 (02:35):
It wasn't as damaging as I expected, but she had
several outbursts like damn yeah, stuff.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Like that, as we all did I know, Stephan, did
I know?
Speaker 1 (02:48):
I did. We're just waiting for t Waala to get
with the rest of the class.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
No, no, look, I am very very interested. All the
trails look good to Paradise who I was even going
to try to watch yesterday, but instead of the game,
I said, you know, let me just go on and
get into Paradise. But I just could. I couldn't find
the time to squirrel away and start. And the way
you all are talking about it, it's bingeable. It's not
(03:15):
something that you just start and watch week to week.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
No, I start.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Today if you can, because or even tomorrow, because episode
five drops tomorrow. You have enough to watch where you
have like a fair amount of time that you can
spend with it, as opposed to watching it one episode
at a time.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
OK.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Yeah, I'm not going to say he's right again. But
the only thing that stopped me from watching more was
that the sun was coming up and I had to
go to sleep.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I would have binged what was available. I think there's
four available. There's four and five drops tonight, I think
at midnight. Okay, Well, We'll talk about that a little
bit later on. We'll tell you why traffic. It's not
your imagination. It has been worse well about the past
month or so. Speaking of that big game, Yes, today,
the Super Bowl, Shannon Farren is going to join us with.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Her recap and talk about some of the worst freaking
commercials ever. I don't remember a year watching the Super
Bowl and just how bad the commercials were bad. And
even Kanye West snuck a commercial in there. How was
that even possible? And it was a commercial which promoted
(04:23):
his website which is presently selling Nazi T shirts. How
is that possible? How did that get into the Super Bowl?
We'll talk about it with Shannon Farren. And you know California,
all this talk of annexing Canada is the fifty first state.
Well it might be just the fiftiest state if the Danish,
(04:47):
the Dutch is a Danish Dutch.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Dutch Toronto turning Mike, what is it you're trying to say?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Well, the Danes have signed a petition to buy California
from the US.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Okay, is it the Dutch?
Speaker 4 (05:01):
I'm trying to use Denmark, the Dutch Dutch Danish wouldn't
be the Dutch are trying to purchase California.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Yeah that sounds cool. Yeah, Dutch, you know, how do
you have these brain farcess like you do? You forget
simple stuff? That was just one of those.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Times I would think you would say the Dutch are
trying to purchase California. It's something that over a thousand
Danes have signed a petition to go on and get moving.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Well, I know someone will correct us.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I'll get a message in Instagram atostomo Kelly, I should
give out your social media tuala and they'll tell.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Me, you know, you should have known.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
We'll talk about that where we could switch places presumably
not presumably, but you know whatever with Canada and have
Canada take our place, and then we would go somewhere
else where Greenland is placed, you know with how.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Would it work?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Yeah, yeah, we're trying to buy Greenland and also we're
trying to annex Canada, and so the Dutch are trying
to buy Californe.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
It's almost like.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
We're just like playing musical chairs with all these areas
in the world. So we'll tell you about that and
coming up tomorrow on the show, not tonight, but tomorrow.
You'll definitely want to be listening because we have four
pit passes and four event tickets to Monster Jam this weekend,
Saturday and Sunday at Angel Stadium.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
That's tomorrow night.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
We'll be giving away four pit passes and four event
tickets to Monster.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Jam at Angel Stadium.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
And before we go to break, we need to let
you know about this what I call a sky river,
this atmospheric wall of water which is coming.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Mark is going to be raining. Oh yeah, thanks. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
The possibility of rain starts tomorrow and last through Friday,
and we are under a flash floodwatch until Friday, flash floodwatch,
slide watch.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
We could be on the other end of what we
were experiencing two and a half weeks ago with the fires. Unfortunately,
again California can't catch a break with exception of we've
had some rain thus far, but now we're supposed to
have possibly the biggest storm of the year and the
biggest since we've had since twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Really, timings everything, this is just we could have used
this exactly a month ago.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Our lives would have been considerably different if this rain
just happened three weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yeah, different for sure. By the way, I have to
add all of us are a bunch of illiterate hopes
because because the Dutch people live in the Netherlands where
holland That's what I said. I'm but the mark of
an adult is to amber your wrong.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Stay.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
We got it wrong. We got it wrong. Okay, I
could admit it, got it wrong. And my phone is
going crazy right now. People are texting me. I'm sure
the same thing. Let me go to break. Yes, I
got a text from Bill Handles for.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
New Oh god, oh l ol.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Dutch are from the Netherlands, Danish are from Denmark.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Yes, we got it wrong. Well, it happens. It happens,
but we did the honorable thing and we corrected our
I will take the l on that one. It's Later
with mo Kelly kf I AM six forty. We're live
everywhere the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
But we come back.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
We'll tell you why LA's traffic has been worse than
usual over the past month.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Maybe you were wondering.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
I know I was wondering, and you think, like well,
mode that you didn't notice that the traffic was worse
for the.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Past month or so, I did. We talked about it
here on this show.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
We usually start off the show lor Oh, it took
me an hour and a half to get to the
studio tonight.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
What's different?
Speaker 1 (08:50):
The obvious thing was there are fewer roads and inlets
available for you to drive still because of the fires.
For example, PCH Pacific Coast Highway has been closed in
large part due to the fires up and down in Malibu,
and only emergency personnel, utility crews and a few local
(09:14):
residents are allowed access, and that has a chain reaction
effect and all of us then have to deal with
that spillover of traffic. I'm talking about drivers from Victora County,
Agura Hills, San Fernando Valley. Those folks would usually use
the canyons to reach PCCh to the La West Side.
(09:37):
Now you got to take the one on one and
four five, and that was bad before the fires. It
just makes it worse. And this is something now I
can't speak for everybody. We all have a different route,
and we all know that. The running joke is when
you're from or living in southern California, the common conversation is, hey,
so what was the route that you took and it's
this to the this to the this, like minus one
(09:59):
ten to the five to the one thirty four, And
if it's really really packed, then I might have the
one ten to the one oh one, get off the
bomb loop over the hill around the studios, and then
I'll get here. I can't speak for Stephan. We have
pretty much the same route, but he leaves about an
(10:21):
hour before them. Yeah, I would say about an hour
before you. Yeah, because I leave.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I try to leave a little before too, just to
kind of get ahead of the traffic.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
But I don't know. For me, it's been hit or miss.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Sometimes I get on the freeway and it'll take me
through the streets once they get to like USC area.
But then there's days where I'll just stay on the
freeway and that's actually a lot faster. So it's just
and sometimes it's like you see the backup on the
one ten, but I'm I get I have fast tracks,
so I just go fly by them. But then you
get to that point where it's just all gridlocks. Yeah,
(10:54):
and that's I think of like down by USC. It's
like by the Galen Center. Yeah, you have to get
out of the fast track laying at that point. Yeah,
that's where it ends.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I have the GPS on, but many times I don't
believe it. I just don't trust it. When you're going
down the one ten freeway and you have to make
a decision. Am I gonna jump on the one O
one or am I gonna stay on the one ten
and go to the five. Sometimes the GPS will lie
to you and tell you that the one on one
is faster, and then you get on the one on
one and all of a sudden it just comes to
(11:23):
a stop. Even though you have the traffic on. I'm
using Google Maps, and it's lying to me. It's just
not accurate. So I'm trying to eyeball it and figure
it out, and it may save me ten or fifteen minutes.
And there's some days where I know it's gonna be bad,
like when it's raining. Since we talked about the rain,
I am definitely not taking the freeway because I don't
(11:43):
want to end up in some sort of chain reaction accident.
So I'll probably take Normandy or Western North to the
one oh one and then get on and get off
at Balm and loop around. Mark has your commute change
in any way over the past month.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Because of the fires enclosures, it seems a little bit
more intense. People seem to be a little bit more
aggressive and willing to risk all our lives to get
ahead by one car length one car. I've administered a
few extra middle fingers recently.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Really yeah, well I had to. I felt it was
my duty.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
It's never your fault though, right, I'm a really careful, respectful,
safe driver, and so when somebody's just driving like a
d bag, that's when I feel it's my patriotic duty
as a citizen to employ the middle finger. I look,
I'm self aware in the respect that, yeah, people will
call me old, get off my lawn. I recognize that
the most when I'm driving, I'm most offended when people
(12:41):
are driving too fast.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Even though I can drive kind of fast.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I'm talking about people who are reckless than they're driving
and make it unsafe for everyone. You know, you don't
have to weave in and out of traffic hoping that
I'm going to see you, hoping that I'm going to
stay driving in a way which is static enough for
you to weave in and out.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Yeah, all for what?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
My latest thing that I despise and find myself hating
myself for the wishes I'm having for these people. Is
when you're in the right lane and it's two lanes
that merge into one, and the far right is the
merge lane, and it narrows to one lane, and you're
in the one lane after it's narrowed, somebody tries to
zip around you and dive right in front of you. Yeah, yeah, unacceptable.
(13:25):
Those people richly deserve the middle thing.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Those are the times I think that I'm closest to
getting into an altercation because I'm looking in my rear
view mirror. Let's say I'm in that right lane and
I'm looking in a real view mirror and there's usually
space behind me. H, But this a hole d bag
is determined to shoot past me and dive in front
of me, and I have to slam all in my brakes.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Yeah, what kind of person does that? There's no need
for that. You get nothing out of it except what
one millisecond ahead of where you would have been.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
It's insane.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
But there's plenty of space behind me, Yeah, plenty of space.
And everyone knows what I'm talking about because we've all
dealt with it now. There was a time in which
I was a person merging on the one tin, and
I made it a point not to try to leap
frog everybody and get in early. I thought I was
being the considerate one, I thought.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
And this white.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Toyota to the left of me, Oh, you even remember
the why Oh I remember making the model. I remember
because I was on my way to the studio and
I was filling in for someone and I didn't have
time to stop and get into it with someone or
I couldn't even risk an accident.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
But this white Toyota.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Pulled up faster behind me to make sure I couldn't
get in. I was at that point ready to have
an accident, so I could go ahead and have that situation.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Well, it really makes you wish you had one of
the old the Aston Martin dB five's like you saw
on Goldfinger, with the tire shredders and the oil slick
and the water cannon out the back end, the bulletproof
shield that popped.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
I want a speed racer. And I thought about this
because he had these two serrated these these spitting blades,
oh in the rim no that come out in the
front of the car that was cut down, the trees
and everything.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Yeah, yeah, That's what I wanted. I just want to
cut through some cars. Did they depict that in the
live action movie? I mean, I remember it from the cartoon.
I don't know if they put it. I have to
I don't. I don't know if they put it in
the movie. I think that was one of the things
they did not put in the movie. I'm not exactly sure.
I have to go back and look. I mean, i'd
even accept like a jeep with a fifty caliber on top,
(15:32):
like like they had in the rat Patrol. People have
gotten so obnoxious. You can't just let this happen.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
But all these things were together, and we were saying
at the top of the segment that LA traffic has
been worse than usual, and it traces back to the fires.
There's a closure of pch in Malibu, and it has
this chain reaction effect where all this traffic people are
much more impatient. Traffic is worse as they're trying to
find some sort of alternative of route to get where
(16:01):
they're going, and so people are just acting like more
of an a hole than usual.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
And there's usually a lot But I almost did a
mark runner almost, but we're not calling it that. But no,
but it's a reference point. Everybody knows what I'm talking about.
That's not a thing, and you are in it, and
we're not going to make it a thing. I honestly
have been reading a whole lot about COVID brain damage.
I think there's an element of that in the worst
driving around the country.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I think we are definitely worse as a society as
far as our socialization skills post pandemic, without a doubt,
from airplane travel to freeways, interacting with each other, how
we acted movies, all of those things. We are more
inconsiderate now and less tolerant now than before the pandemic.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Right, And if you read some of these experts, like
legit experts, not just talking heads, it's kind of like
Dunn Kruger effect. The people who have brain damage are
unaware that they have sustained brain damage because they're brain damaged.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Yes, those who don't know don't know that. They don't
know exactly, and it's terrifying.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
When we come back Sheddon Farren, of course, of Gary
and Shannon will join us with her thoughts on last
night's Super Bowl halftime show and so much more. I
am six forty stop texting me about Danish and Netherlands.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Yes, we got it wrong. At least we didn't get
out a sharpiet of fudget. Okay, come on.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Yes we got it wrong. It's like we got bo
Kelly got something wrong. Yes, I got it wrong. I
got it wrong.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I got it wrong. I'll say it one more time.
I got it wrong. I am six forty. We're live
everywhere the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
And now that the Big game is over, finally, Now
that the NFL season is over, finally, the Philadelphia Eagles
are now champions once again, I might add, and the
three peat dreams of Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City
Chiefs have been dashed. And who better to talk about
all of that and more is Gary and shann Shannon Farrin,
(18:02):
who joins me up the very long day of work. Look, Shannon,
I appreciate you coming on this evening. It's a long
ass day for you, but thank you for coming on.
Speaker 6 (18:09):
Well, it's a good thing. We're not digging ditches, Mo,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
It's true, It's true. There are worst things that we
could be doing. But let me ask you, what did
you think of the game last night? The game itself
and everything surrounding the game.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
You know, if you watch the NFL, you know that
there are certain weeks where teams, whatever team in particular,
just doesn't show up. They don't ever get off the buses,
they don't make it into the stadium or the locker room,
they don't make it onto the field for whatever reason,
they don't show up that day. Usually you'll see this
in maybe week one or week two, and people are
knocking the dust off because nobody plays preseason anymore. Sometimes
(18:45):
it'll be the middle of the season as the growing
pains and the injuries kick in, and sometimes it'll be
unfortunately late in the season. It's very unfortunate when it's
the Super Bowl. The Kansas City Chiefs did not show up.
If you watch the Chiefs this season, yes, they got
lucky with a lot of onescore wins, and it wasn't
all luck.
Speaker 7 (19:03):
It could come down on really either team there.
Speaker 6 (19:06):
They could have easily missed the playoffs altogether if those
one score games went the other way. They have not
been a well oiled machine all season long, and the
Philadelphia defense is not or did not get the attention
that it's so well deserved leading up into the Super Bowl.
And you saw why in that game last night.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
I think you articulated what I was thinking and feeling
when I was watching the game. I didn't see a
sense of urgency by anyone on the Chiefs team. Not
that they didn't want to win, not that they weren't
into the game. It just didn't seem like that they
realized that there was a finite amount of time they
had to get it done. I didn't see Travis Kelcey
yelling at Andy Reid on the song line. I didn't
see anyone say, hey, let's get this stuff together.
Speaker 7 (19:47):
I couldn't agree more. I thought that.
Speaker 6 (19:52):
They looked like they were in need of want, like
nobody out there, looked like they really wanted it, like
they were hungry for it. And you can say it
means just as much as the first Super Bowl all
you want till you're blue in the face, but it doesn't.
The fact that the Kansas City Chiefs have been to
the Super Bowl routinely in the past decade or the
(20:14):
last four or five years is evident by that lack
of want and no and you can't say what you're
You can't tell me what r I see.
Speaker 7 (20:24):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 6 (20:24):
That is what I saw in that team. They they've recently,
you know, they won it back to back years. They
wanted a couple of years before that, and it's obvious
it shows it's also very hard to keep that kind
of winning and that brand of winning together like that
for such a long period of time. That's why a
three peet is so rare. That's why it's not done.
It's just very hard to keep that level up, especially
(20:47):
when we're looking at how lengthy the NFL seasons are,
the wear and tear on your body, the changes in personnel.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Something I felt. I thought the broadcast was dull.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I thought Tom Brady was dull and a little too
much self agrandizement about his career. Maybe he was kind
of jealous of the attention that Patrick Mahomes was getting.
I wasn't overwhelmed with Kendrick Lamar. I understood what he
was trying to do with this layered message performance, but
Kendrick Lamar was not a household name, so a lot
of it I think went over America's heads.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
I just thought the whole evening was dull. What was
your feeling?
Speaker 6 (21:23):
It did seem kind of like a flatlined broadcast. And
I agree with you about Tom Brady what my reaction was.
And I'm not a Tom Brady hater. Hey, listen, if
you want to devote yourself to be an excellent.
Speaker 7 (21:34):
At what you do, I am all about that. I
love that.
Speaker 6 (21:37):
I respect it all, all of it, you know, like
I love that he was great and he devoted his
whole life into being the best, and he did it
for so long, and I think that's wonderful.
Speaker 7 (21:45):
I've never been a Tom Brady hater.
Speaker 6 (21:47):
But that said, I've had enough Tom Brady on Super
Bowl Sunday in my lifetime. You know, we had, we
had eight Super Bowl Sundays with Tom Brady's ass on
our screen. And so the last person I want to
hear and the post Tom Brady era on Super Bowl
Sunday is Tom Brady talking about Tom Brady.
Speaker 7 (22:06):
And that's what it.
Speaker 6 (22:07):
Was from when I was paying attention, That's what it
felt like. And I don't think Kendrick Lamar was for
us mo. I think that we've aged out. I think
if you were under thirty five, it meant more. You
got it more, you enjoyed it more.
Speaker 7 (22:21):
I mean, I'm.
Speaker 6 (22:22):
Familiar with his music, I'm familiar with the beef with Drake.
But I feel like it was a young person's halftime.
Speaker 7 (22:27):
And I think that like.
Speaker 8 (22:28):
All of the older people, forty plus people were just
like uh okay, I mean and listen, the super Bowl
is all about appealing to like the biggest swath of America, right,
And I don't know what you're gonna do that unless
you go for the older artists. Tom Brady wearing the
seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars watched. I don't think
(22:49):
that appeals to Dave on his couch in you know, Kansas, either.
I think that sometimes the super Bowl gets in the
way of itself, like the award shows do, when they
start thinking about what they want to see too often
and not what like everyday people want to see.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
I have another question, and I think you can best
answer this. You remember how the NFL was very, very
particular and picky about what commercials it would feature, whose
money it would take for the commercials during the broadcast.
I don't understand how Kanye West managed to get a
commercial during the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Can you help me figure that out well.
Speaker 6 (23:27):
It was just supposed to air on three markets, La,
Atlanta and Philadelphia. It was through a third party advertising agency.
The onus is on the ad agency to do the
work to make sure they're not going to be selling
anything controversial, ie T shirts with.
Speaker 7 (23:44):
Swastikas on them.
Speaker 6 (23:46):
Somehow, they just looked at the content of what the
ad was and not behind what.
Speaker 7 (23:52):
Was in the ad.
Speaker 6 (23:53):
They didn't take into account his rantings on social media
where he's clearly going through another mental health episode or
an ongoing mental health episode. They did not take that
into account, all the things that he was tweeting.
Speaker 7 (24:04):
About last week.
Speaker 6 (24:06):
They just took into account the content of what aired,
which was an iPhone video of Kanye shooting it in
a dentist's chair or what have you saying. Check out
my website when this was okayed. When this went to press,
so to speak, Yeezy dot Com had none of.
Speaker 7 (24:22):
The swastika stuff.
Speaker 6 (24:23):
It was just his branded at leisure where Sunday something flipped.
Speaker 7 (24:28):
The switch was flipped and.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
Everything went to that sole item of the T shirt
with the swastika after the ad already got the green light.
In the future, where will there be due diligence, you
bet you.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
I just don't understand how that even happened, even after
the fact. I mean, someone's gotta be at the wheel
realizing this is Kanye West. Yeah, we've gotta be you know,
another angle in this for Kanye West. All that's it,
given the commercial and I thought the commercials overall were lackluster,
given a halftime show, given what I thought was very
(25:00):
muted super Bowl overall. Do you have any expectations or
predictions which will change how it will be presented next year?
Speaker 7 (25:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (25:09):
I'm kind of struggling with the broadcast because for the
first time I watched those commercials, kind of half watched
them because there are a bunch of people in the room.
Speaker 7 (25:17):
But I felt old mo. I was like, what does
this all mean? What's going on? And maybe it was
the AI.
Speaker 6 (25:23):
Maybe it was the year that AI wanted to show
what it could do and everything, which is kind of crazy.
But there's a couple commercials where I'm like, what am
I missing? Like do I just don't get it. I
just don't have my finger on the pulse of like
what's cool and what's happening right now? I don't know
if you're going to see the pendulum swing the other
way into a more traditional Super Bowl. I mean, they
(25:43):
did have the beer commercials, they did have the Clydesdales,
they did have the Hawk girl eating the messy Burger.
So there were some of those usual hallmarks. But who
knows where we're going to be next year? Crazy world, right,
like who knows what the climate's going to be a
lot of these commercials were conceptualized apparently during the height
of the political upheaval, so nobody wanted anything serious or
(26:04):
to talk about politics, and so they just stuck to crazy.
Speaker 7 (26:08):
I guess. But whoever okayed the seal as a seal.
Speaker 6 (26:11):
That person should be put in a closet and never
taken out.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Thank you, Thank you for saying what I was going
to say anyhow without me having to say it. In fact,
when we come back, we're going to get into some
of those commercials, including the seal being a seal commercial,
and so much more.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
It's Later with Mo Kelly, Thank you so much yet
and Farrin, Thank you Moe.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 9 (26:36):
You can't be demanding, You can't be relentless. You can't
put yourself first, so put yourself first.
Speaker 10 (26:46):
You can't be confident, so be confident. You can't challenge,
so challenge.
Speaker 9 (26:53):
You can't dominate it, so dominate. You can't flex, so flex.
So you can't fill a stadium, So to fill that stadium.
Speaker 10 (27:04):
You can't be emotional, so be emotional.
Speaker 9 (27:08):
You can't take credit, you can't steak up, can't be
so ambition, bring.
Speaker 10 (27:12):
I can't have any fun make, I can't keep, I
can't stand out. Whatever you do, you can't win, so win,
can't buy.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
It's labor bo Kelly relived everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. No,
for all the bad commercials that I saw yesterday, that
Nike commercial was the only one that stuck with me.
It's like, let me see what this is about? Okay,
I get it, And then they wrapped it up with
a nice bow at the air.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
I liked it.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Now does it Is it a call to action for
me to go out and buy tickets to this or that?
Speaker 3 (27:53):
No?
Speaker 1 (27:53):
But I thought that ad was impactful given all the
other garbage out there, Usually there was an ad that
would make me laugh or.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Like, oh let me check out there's something there was
nothing like that.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Yesterday and I watched the whole game each ad block.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
I saw nothing funny.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Wow, not the not the the dunkin Donuts with bid affleck.
I thought that was tired this year, and now the
Lasteria outbreak with yeah, yeah, yeah, it's just nothing. I
was looking forward to the commercials. I couldn't find anything.
Did you guys find anything.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
That a New Thunderbolts preview that was pretty good, that was.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Phenomenal, but arguably none of the other film commercials are
trailers big game ad spots.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
We're good. Ones were like, well, this was a waste
of time. And a lot of these ads I'd already
seen a lot of them. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Now, the one that we were I was talking about
with Shannon Farron was the one with Seal playing an
actual seal or something. When I saw that on it
was like, ooh, Seal, you must be hurting for money
because oo.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
Mountain dew baha blast, m hm.
Speaker 10 (29:11):
Hm refreshing, it's.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Kissed by the perfect amount of trapped. The line this
a seal as a seal singing on top of a
rock to kiss from a dime.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
On the.
Speaker 10 (29:35):
Moment I think, yeah, my.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Fast cat on Mountain two.
Speaker 10 (29:43):
It's stepped front of the ball shade.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Now the orcas circling the Pope. That stupid travelers now
twenty so much. Well, this is the weirdest thing I've
(30:12):
ever seen. Mountain dude, Baja blast a blast of trumpical
seals in the book seal.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
None of this makes sense, none of it, None of it.
And you know what, I have no desire to drink
mountain dew.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
That commercial was to me. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
The seals face hyper pose onto a seal.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
It was scary. It was scary. It was like something
out of a nightmare Mark.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
You would have appreciated. It would have done well in
a horror movie. I'm glad I missed it.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
It's not too late.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
You can always find it. No, No, the thunderbolts is
plenty for me. I really want to see that. The
rest I couldn't care less about for me.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
That's part of the reason why I do tune into
the super Bowl because during the ad breaks usually there
is a major movie trailer inserted, maybe two or three.
I don't know what the other two were supposed to be.
As far as major movies, I can't remember any of them,
so they couldn't.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
I know.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
They did a how to Train Your Dragon? Oh, I
saw that, that's right, which that didn't do anything to
sell it. No, the extended mission, impossible final mission, or whatever.
I did not like this trailer as much as I
liked the original trail, because this trailer seemed like it
was just a confusing mess versus the first trailer, the
(31:28):
teaser trailer, which really sold the intensity. It was like
this was a recut, rehashed version of that, where I
was just like.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
This is too much. Now, you're doing too much of
this trailer.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Something said to me that there had to be a
better way to spend eight million dollars actually sixteen million,
because I think it was eight million for thirty seconds.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Those were at least a minute.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
I'm thinking sixteen million for those minute long spots. If
you're going to spend that type of money, make sure
you're getting your money's worth.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
And I don't think.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Yes, I'm not the ad exec, but I don't think
that that's the best way to spend sixteen million dollars.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
I had read a great deal about the commercials, and
someone pointed out that there was a pardon me, a
Jesus commercial and and that actual Jesus might have used
that eight million bucks to help people instead of a
Super Bowl commercial.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Not wrong, No, it was a good non It's a
great point, you know, the whole idea of Jesus throwing
out the money changers in the temple. Jesus is not
going to spend sixteen million dollars in self promotion. I
don't think I had a marketing team.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
Now, speaking of Jesus, Jesus Yeezy did an ad. Yeah,
he's promoting. This is not directly.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
He was in a chair, Dennis chair, and he shot
this commercial air quotes on an iPhone face with the
camera face toward him, and he shows off his new grill,
which was ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
And he's just talking about the grill.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
But he says, go to my website, and I'm not
going to tell you what it was, but it was
probably featured on the screen. It's a bare bones ad,
there's nothing special about it. It's anybody's phone and says,
go to my website. Come to fight out later it
is selling just Nazi T shirts for twenty dollars.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Seriously, what the hell did you ever think or did
our parents or grandparents ever think that we were going
to be dealing with Nazis out in the open again
in the year of Our Lord twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
What is going on?
Speaker 1 (33:18):
I don't think they could have predicted anything which just
happened since twenty sixteen.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Nothing but the Nazi stuff in particular is egregious.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
This is nuts. Oh, that's egregious. I can find some
other increagious things as well.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Yeah, you know, I know it's a photo finish, but seriously, Nazis.
All of our popular culture from the time we were
growing up indicated that Nazis were bad, and now we
have Nazis.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
They're going under a rebranding It's Nazi twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Well you got the jazz hands with the Nazis. Yeah,
ignorance is bliss. We have zero bliss, completely blissless.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
I and the k ost h D.

Two Los Angeles, Orange County
Speaker 3 (34:05):
Live Everywhere on the Younger Radio app
I am six forty. It's later with Moll Kelly. We're
live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. I hope you had
a great weekend. Mine was, That's all it was.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
It was.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Stayed home and watched the Super Bowl and that was
didn't do much, watched a little TV. That was my weekend.
You should have gone with me. Where did you go?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Went to a book sale? No?
Speaker 2 (00:49):
No, no, no, you would have had a lot more fun.
I don't know about that. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
I had big ideas in my head, had a little
bit of free time. It's been officiating any basketball. I
did a martial arts seminar on Saturday, but that was
the totality of my obligations for the weekend. I was
ready to go somewhere to have a I don't know,
hang out with friends, watch the game, and it never materialized.
I realized, you know what, I think, I'm just going
(01:16):
to get some food and go home.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
And that's what I did.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
And I'm glad I did that because that game was booty.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
It was abominable. It was boring.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
We'll talk about it in the halftime show and everything
surrounding the game as the night goes on.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
But you know that was my weekend.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
And did anyone finish the homework assignment this weekend other
than Stefan anyone? I haven't started yet. Gosh, it's turned
into a real homework assignment. I can't get you to
do anything. It turned to assignment in on time.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I mentioned this to you on the way in, and
I know you want a public acknowledgment what And I'm
reluctant to do this, but I started.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
The homework assignment. Oh okay.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I watched the first two Paradise first too, but because
you can't just stop watching at the end of the
first one, because they really drop one of it.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Yes they did. I won't spoil.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Anything for anybody as much as it was spoiled for
me because the Long Suffering One started watching it while
I was in the room. But I went back to
the beginning and salvaged it. And it's terrific. It's a
good show. And this is the only time you were
right and we're gonna move on.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
When you heard the.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Long Suffering One watching the show, did it tell you
too much about how the show started?
Speaker 2 (02:35):
It wasn't as damaging as I expected, but she had
several outbursts like damn yeah, stuff.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Like that, as we all did I know, Stephan, did
I know?
Speaker 1 (02:48):
I did. We're just waiting for t Waala to get
with the rest of the class.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
No, no, look, I am very very interested. All the
trails look good to Paradise who I was even going
to try to watch yesterday, but instead of the game,
I said, you know, let me just go on and
get into Paradise. But I just could. I couldn't find
the time to squirrel away and start. And the way
you all are talking about it, it's bingeable. It's not
(03:15):
something that you just start and watch week to week.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
No, I start.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Today if you can, because or even tomorrow, because episode
five drops tomorrow. You have enough to watch where you
have like a fair amount of time that you can
spend with it, as opposed to watching it one episode
at a time.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
OK.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Yeah, I'm not going to say he's right again. But
the only thing that stopped me from watching more was
that the sun was coming up and I had to
go to sleep.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I would have binged what was available. I think there's
four available. There's four and five drops tonight, I think
at midnight. Okay, Well, We'll talk about that a little
bit later on. We'll tell you why traffic. It's not
your imagination. It has been worse well about the past
month or so. Speaking of that big game, Yes, today,
the Super Bowl, Shannon Farren is going to join us with.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Her recap and talk about some of the worst freaking
commercials ever. I don't remember a year watching the Super
Bowl and just how bad the commercials were bad. And
even Kanye West snuck a commercial in there. How was
that even possible? And it was a commercial which promoted
(04:23):
his website which is presently selling Nazi T shirts. How
is that possible? How did that get into the Super Bowl?
We'll talk about it with Shannon Farren. And you know California,
all this talk of annexing Canada is the fifty first state.
Well it might be just the fiftiest state if the Danish,
(04:47):
the Dutch is a Danish Dutch.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Dutch Toronto turning Mike, what is it you're trying to say?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Well, the Danes have signed a petition to buy California
from the US.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Okay, is it the Dutch?
Speaker 4 (05:01):
I'm trying to use Denmark, the Dutch Dutch Danish wouldn't
be the Dutch are trying to purchase California.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Yeah that sounds cool. Yeah, Dutch, you know, how do
you have these brain farcess like you do? You forget
simple stuff? That was just one of those.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Times I would think you would say the Dutch are
trying to purchase California. It's something that over a thousand
Danes have signed a petition to go on and get moving.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Well, I know someone will correct us.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I'll get a message in Instagram atostomo Kelly, I should
give out your social media tuala and they'll tell.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Me, you know, you should have known.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
We'll talk about that where we could switch places presumably
not presumably, but you know whatever with Canada and have
Canada take our place, and then we would go somewhere
else where Greenland is placed, you know with how.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Would it work?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Yeah, yeah, we're trying to buy Greenland and also we're
trying to annex Canada, and so the Dutch are trying
to buy Californe.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
It's almost like.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
We're just like playing musical chairs with all these areas
in the world. So we'll tell you about that and
coming up tomorrow on the show, not tonight, but tomorrow.
You'll definitely want to be listening because we have four
pit passes and four event tickets to Monster Jam this weekend,
Saturday and Sunday at Angel Stadium.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
That's tomorrow night.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
We'll be giving away four pit passes and four event
tickets to Monster.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Jam at Angel Stadium.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
And before we go to break, we need to let
you know about this what I call a sky river,
this atmospheric wall of water which is coming.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Mark is going to be raining. Oh yeah, thanks. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
The possibility of rain starts tomorrow and last through Friday,
and we are under a flash floodwatch until Friday, flash floodwatch,
slide watch.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
We could be on the other end of what we
were experiencing two and a half weeks ago with the fires. Unfortunately,
again California can't catch a break with exception of we've
had some rain thus far, but now we're supposed to
have possibly the biggest storm of the year and the
biggest since we've had since twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Really, timings everything, this is just we could have used
this exactly a month ago.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Our lives would have been considerably different if this rain
just happened three weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yeah, different for sure. By the way, I have to
add all of us are a bunch of illiterate hopes
because because the Dutch people live in the Netherlands where
holland That's what I said. I'm but the mark of
an adult is to amber your wrong.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Stay.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
We got it wrong. We got it wrong. Okay, I
could admit it, got it wrong. And my phone is
going crazy right now. People are texting me. I'm sure
the same thing. Let me go to break. Yes, I
got a text from Bill Handles for.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
New Oh god, oh l ol.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Dutch are from the Netherlands, Danish are from Denmark.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Yes, we got it wrong. Well, it happens. It happens,
but we did the honorable thing and we corrected our
I will take the l on that one. It's Later
with mo Kelly kf I AM six forty. We're live
everywhere the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
But we come back.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
We'll tell you why LA's traffic has been worse than
usual over the past month.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Maybe you were wondering.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
I know I was wondering, and you think, like well,
mode that you didn't notice that the traffic was worse
for the.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Past month or so, I did. We talked about it
here on this show.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
We usually start off the show lor Oh, it took
me an hour and a half to get to the
studio tonight.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
What's different?
Speaker 1 (08:50):
The obvious thing was there are fewer roads and inlets
available for you to drive still because of the fires.
For example, PCH Pacific Coast Highway has been closed in
large part due to the fires up and down in Malibu,
and only emergency personnel, utility crews and a few local
(09:14):
residents are allowed access, and that has a chain reaction
effect and all of us then have to deal with
that spillover of traffic. I'm talking about drivers from Victora County,
Agura Hills, San Fernando Valley. Those folks would usually use
the canyons to reach PCCh to the La West Side.
(09:37):
Now you got to take the one on one and
four five, and that was bad before the fires. It
just makes it worse. And this is something now I
can't speak for everybody. We all have a different route,
and we all know that. The running joke is when
you're from or living in southern California, the common conversation is, hey,
so what was the route that you took and it's
this to the this to the this, like minus one
(09:59):
ten to the five to the one thirty four, And
if it's really really packed, then I might have the
one ten to the one oh one, get off the
bomb loop over the hill around the studios, and then
I'll get here. I can't speak for Stephan. We have
pretty much the same route, but he leaves about an
(10:21):
hour before them. Yeah, I would say about an hour
before you. Yeah, because I leave.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I try to leave a little before too, just to
kind of get ahead of the traffic.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
But I don't know. For me, it's been hit or miss.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Sometimes I get on the freeway and it'll take me
through the streets once they get to like USC area.
But then there's days where I'll just stay on the
freeway and that's actually a lot faster. So it's just
and sometimes it's like you see the backup on the
one ten, but I'm I get I have fast tracks,
so I just go fly by them. But then you
get to that point where it's just all gridlocks. Yeah,
(10:54):
and that's I think of like down by USC. It's
like by the Galen Center. Yeah, you have to get
out of the fast track laying at that point. Yeah,
that's where it ends.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I have the GPS on, but many times I don't
believe it. I just don't trust it. When you're going
down the one ten freeway and you have to make
a decision. Am I gonna jump on the one O
one or am I gonna stay on the one ten
and go to the five. Sometimes the GPS will lie
to you and tell you that the one on one
is faster, and then you get on the one on
one and all of a sudden it just comes to
(11:23):
a stop. Even though you have the traffic on. I'm
using Google Maps, and it's lying to me. It's just
not accurate. So I'm trying to eyeball it and figure
it out, and it may save me ten or fifteen minutes.
And there's some days where I know it's gonna be bad,
like when it's raining. Since we talked about the rain,
I am definitely not taking the freeway because I don't
(11:43):
want to end up in some sort of chain reaction accident.
So I'll probably take Normandy or Western North to the
one oh one and then get on and get off
at Balm and loop around. Mark has your commute change
in any way over the past month.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Because of the fires enclosures, it seems a little bit
more intense. People seem to be a little bit more
aggressive and willing to risk all our lives to get
ahead by one car length one car. I've administered a
few extra middle fingers recently.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Really yeah, well I had to. I felt it was
my duty.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
It's never your fault though, right, I'm a really careful, respectful,
safe driver, and so when somebody's just driving like a
d bag, that's when I feel it's my patriotic duty
as a citizen to employ the middle finger. I look,
I'm self aware in the respect that, yeah, people will
call me old, get off my lawn. I recognize that
the most when I'm driving, I'm most offended when people
(12:41):
are driving too fast.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Even though I can drive kind of fast.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I'm talking about people who are reckless than they're driving
and make it unsafe for everyone. You know, you don't
have to weave in and out of traffic hoping that
I'm going to see you, hoping that I'm going to
stay driving in a way which is static enough for
you to weave in and out.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Yeah, all for what?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
My latest thing that I despise and find myself hating
myself for the wishes I'm having for these people. Is
when you're in the right lane and it's two lanes
that merge into one, and the far right is the
merge lane, and it narrows to one lane, and you're
in the one lane after it's narrowed, somebody tries to
zip around you and dive right in front of you. Yeah, yeah, unacceptable.
(13:25):
Those people richly deserve the middle thing.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Those are the times I think that I'm closest to
getting into an altercation because I'm looking in my rear
view mirror. Let's say I'm in that right lane and
I'm looking in a real view mirror and there's usually
space behind me. H, But this a hole d bag
is determined to shoot past me and dive in front
of me, and I have to slam all in my brakes.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Yeah, what kind of person does that? There's no need
for that. You get nothing out of it except what
one millisecond ahead of where you would have been.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
It's insane.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
But there's plenty of space behind me, Yeah, plenty of space.
And everyone knows what I'm talking about because we've all
dealt with it now. There was a time in which
I was a person merging on the one tin, and
I made it a point not to try to leap
frog everybody and get in early. I thought I was
being the considerate one, I thought.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
And this white.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Toyota to the left of me, Oh, you even remember
the why Oh I remember making the model. I remember
because I was on my way to the studio and
I was filling in for someone and I didn't have
time to stop and get into it with someone or
I couldn't even risk an accident.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
But this white Toyota.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Pulled up faster behind me to make sure I couldn't
get in. I was at that point ready to have
an accident, so I could go ahead and have that situation.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Well, it really makes you wish you had one of
the old the Aston Martin dB five's like you saw
on Goldfinger, with the tire shredders and the oil slick
and the water cannon out the back end, the bulletproof
shield that popped.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
I want a speed racer. And I thought about this
because he had these two serrated these these spitting blades,
oh in the rim no that come out in the
front of the car that was cut down, the trees
and everything.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Yeah, yeah, That's what I wanted. I just want to
cut through some cars. Did they depict that in the
live action movie? I mean, I remember it from the cartoon.
I don't know if they put it. I have to
I don't. I don't know if they put it in
the movie. I think that was one of the things
they did not put in the movie. I'm not exactly sure.
I have to go back and look. I mean, i'd
even accept like a jeep with a fifty caliber on top,
(15:32):
like like they had in the rat Patrol. People have
gotten so obnoxious. You can't just let this happen.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
But all these things were together, and we were saying
at the top of the segment that LA traffic has
been worse than usual, and it traces back to the fires.
There's a closure of pch in Malibu, and it has
this chain reaction effect where all this traffic people are
much more impatient. Traffic is worse as they're trying to
find some sort of alternative of route to get where
(16:01):
they're going, and so people are just acting like more
of an a hole than usual.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
And there's usually a lot But I almost did a
mark runner almost, but we're not calling it that. But no,
but it's a reference point. Everybody knows what I'm talking about.
That's not a thing, and you are in it, and
we're not going to make it a thing. I honestly
have been reading a whole lot about COVID brain damage.
I think there's an element of that in the worst
driving around the country.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I think we are definitely worse as a society as
far as our socialization skills post pandemic, without a doubt,
from airplane travel to freeways, interacting with each other, how
we acted movies, all of those things. We are more
inconsiderate now and less tolerant now than before the pandemic.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Right, And if you read some of these experts, like
legit experts, not just talking heads, it's kind of like
Dunn Kruger effect. The people who have brain damage are
unaware that they have sustained brain damage because they're brain damaged.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Yes, those who don't know don't know that. They don't
know exactly, and it's terrifying.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
When we come back Sheddon Farren, of course, of Gary
and Shannon will join us with her thoughts on last
night's Super Bowl halftime show and so much more. I
am six forty stop texting me about Danish and Netherlands.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Yes, we got it wrong. At least we didn't get
out a sharpiet of fudget. Okay, come on.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Yes we got it wrong. It's like we got bo
Kelly got something wrong. Yes, I got it wrong. I
got it wrong.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I got it wrong. I'll say it one more time.
I got it wrong. I am six forty. We're live
everywhere the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
And now that the Big game is over, finally, Now
that the NFL season is over, finally, the Philadelphia Eagles
are now champions once again, I might add, and the
three peat dreams of Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City
Chiefs have been dashed. And who better to talk about
all of that and more is Gary and shann Shannon Farrin,
(18:02):
who joins me up the very long day of work. Look, Shannon,
I appreciate you coming on this evening. It's a long
ass day for you, but thank you for coming on.
Speaker 6 (18:09):
Well, it's a good thing. We're not digging ditches, Mo,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
It's true, It's true. There are worst things that we
could be doing. But let me ask you, what did
you think of the game last night? The game itself
and everything surrounding the game.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
You know, if you watch the NFL, you know that
there are certain weeks where teams, whatever team in particular,
just doesn't show up. They don't ever get off the buses,
they don't make it into the stadium or the locker room,
they don't make it onto the field for whatever reason,
they don't show up that day. Usually you'll see this
in maybe week one or week two, and people are
knocking the dust off because nobody plays preseason anymore. Sometimes
(18:45):
it'll be the middle of the season as the growing
pains and the injuries kick in, and sometimes it'll be
unfortunately late in the season. It's very unfortunate when it's
the Super Bowl. The Kansas City Chiefs did not show up.
If you watch the Chiefs this season, yes, they got
lucky with a lot of onescore wins, and it wasn't
all luck.
Speaker 7 (19:03):
It could come down on really either team there.
Speaker 6 (19:06):
They could have easily missed the playoffs altogether if those
one score games went the other way. They have not
been a well oiled machine all season long, and the
Philadelphia defense is not or did not get the attention
that it's so well deserved leading up into the Super Bowl.
And you saw why in that game last night.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
I think you articulated what I was thinking and feeling
when I was watching the game. I didn't see a
sense of urgency by anyone on the Chiefs team. Not
that they didn't want to win, not that they weren't
into the game. It just didn't seem like that they
realized that there was a finite amount of time they
had to get it done. I didn't see Travis Kelcey
yelling at Andy Reid on the song line. I didn't
see anyone say, hey, let's get this stuff together.
Speaker 7 (19:47):
I couldn't agree more. I thought that.
Speaker 6 (19:52):
They looked like they were in need of want, like
nobody out there, looked like they really wanted it, like
they were hungry for it. And you can say it
means just as much as the first Super Bowl all
you want till you're blue in the face, but it doesn't.
The fact that the Kansas City Chiefs have been to
the Super Bowl routinely in the past decade or the
(20:14):
last four or five years is evident by that lack
of want and no and you can't say what you're
You can't tell me what r I see.
Speaker 7 (20:24):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 6 (20:24):
That is what I saw in that team. They they've recently,
you know, they won it back to back years. They
wanted a couple of years before that, and it's obvious
it shows it's also very hard to keep that kind
of winning and that brand of winning together like that
for such a long period of time. That's why a
three peet is so rare. That's why it's not done.
It's just very hard to keep that level up, especially
(20:47):
when we're looking at how lengthy the NFL seasons are,
the wear and tear on your body, the changes in personnel.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Something I felt. I thought the broadcast was dull.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I thought Tom Brady was dull and a little too
much self agrandizement about his career. Maybe he was kind
of jealous of the attention that Patrick Mahomes was getting.
I wasn't overwhelmed with Kendrick Lamar. I understood what he
was trying to do with this layered message performance, but
Kendrick Lamar was not a household name, so a lot
of it I think went over America's heads.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
I just thought the whole evening was dull. What was
your feeling?
Speaker 6 (21:23):
It did seem kind of like a flatlined broadcast. And
I agree with you about Tom Brady what my reaction was.
And I'm not a Tom Brady hater. Hey, listen, if
you want to devote yourself to be an excellent.
Speaker 7 (21:34):
At what you do, I am all about that. I
love that.
Speaker 6 (21:37):
I respect it all, all of it, you know, like
I love that he was great and he devoted his
whole life into being the best, and he did it
for so long, and I think that's wonderful.
Speaker 7 (21:45):
I've never been a Tom Brady hater.
Speaker 6 (21:47):
But that said, I've had enough Tom Brady on Super
Bowl Sunday in my lifetime. You know, we had, we
had eight Super Bowl Sundays with Tom Brady's ass on
our screen. And so the last person I want to
hear and the post Tom Brady era on Super Bowl
Sunday is Tom Brady talking about Tom Brady.
Speaker 7 (22:06):
And that's what it.
Speaker 6 (22:07):
Was from when I was paying attention, That's what it
felt like. And I don't think Kendrick Lamar was for
us mo. I think that we've aged out. I think
if you were under thirty five, it meant more. You
got it more, you enjoyed it more.
Speaker 7 (22:21):
I mean, I'm.
Speaker 6 (22:22):
Familiar with his music, I'm familiar with the beef with Drake.
But I feel like it was a young person's halftime.
Speaker 7 (22:27):
And I think that like.
Speaker 8 (22:28):
All of the older people, forty plus people were just
like uh okay, I mean and listen, the super Bowl
is all about appealing to like the biggest swath of America, right,
And I don't know what you're gonna do that unless
you go for the older artists. Tom Brady wearing the
seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars watched. I don't think
(22:49):
that appeals to Dave on his couch in you know, Kansas, either.
I think that sometimes the super Bowl gets in the
way of itself, like the award shows do, when they
start thinking about what they want to see too often
and not what like everyday people want to see.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
I have another question, and I think you can best
answer this. You remember how the NFL was very, very
particular and picky about what commercials it would feature, whose
money it would take for the commercials during the broadcast.
I don't understand how Kanye West managed to get a
commercial during the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Can you help me figure that out well.
Speaker 6 (23:27):
It was just supposed to air on three markets, La,
Atlanta and Philadelphia. It was through a third party advertising agency.
The onus is on the ad agency to do the
work to make sure they're not going to be selling
anything controversial, ie T shirts with.
Speaker 7 (23:44):
Swastikas on them.
Speaker 6 (23:46):
Somehow, they just looked at the content of what the
ad was and not behind what.
Speaker 7 (23:52):
Was in the ad.
Speaker 6 (23:53):
They didn't take into account his rantings on social media
where he's clearly going through another mental health episode or
an ongoing mental health episode. They did not take that
into account, all the things that he was tweeting.
Speaker 7 (24:04):
About last week.
Speaker 6 (24:06):
They just took into account the content of what aired,
which was an iPhone video of Kanye shooting it in
a dentist's chair or what have you saying. Check out
my website when this was okayed. When this went to press,
so to speak, Yeezy dot Com had none of.
Speaker 7 (24:22):
The swastika stuff.
Speaker 6 (24:23):
It was just his branded at leisure where Sunday something flipped.
Speaker 7 (24:28):
The switch was flipped and.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
Everything went to that sole item of the T shirt
with the swastika after the ad already got the green light.
In the future, where will there be due diligence, you
bet you.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
I just don't understand how that even happened, even after
the fact. I mean, someone's gotta be at the wheel
realizing this is Kanye West. Yeah, we've gotta be you know,
another angle in this for Kanye West. All that's it,
given the commercial and I thought the commercials overall were lackluster,
given a halftime show, given what I thought was very
(25:00):
muted super Bowl overall. Do you have any expectations or
predictions which will change how it will be presented next year?
Speaker 7 (25:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (25:09):
I'm kind of struggling with the broadcast because for the
first time I watched those commercials, kind of half watched
them because there are a bunch of people in the room.
Speaker 7 (25:17):
But I felt old mo. I was like, what does
this all mean? What's going on? And maybe it was
the AI.
Speaker 6 (25:23):
Maybe it was the year that AI wanted to show
what it could do and everything, which is kind of crazy.
But there's a couple commercials where I'm like, what am
I missing? Like do I just don't get it. I
just don't have my finger on the pulse of like
what's cool and what's happening right now? I don't know
if you're going to see the pendulum swing the other
way into a more traditional Super Bowl. I mean, they
(25:43):
did have the beer commercials, they did have the Clydesdales,
they did have the Hawk girl eating the messy Burger.
So there were some of those usual hallmarks. But who
knows where we're going to be next year? Crazy world, right,
like who knows what the climate's going to be a
lot of these commercials were conceptualized apparently during the height
of the political upheaval, so nobody wanted anything serious or
(26:04):
to talk about politics, and so they just stuck to crazy.
Speaker 7 (26:08):
I guess. But whoever okayed the seal as a seal.
Speaker 6 (26:11):
That person should be put in a closet and never
taken out.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Thank you, Thank you for saying what I was going
to say anyhow without me having to say it. In fact,
when we come back, we're going to get into some
of those commercials, including the seal being a seal commercial,
and so much more.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
It's Later with Mo Kelly, Thank you so much yet
and Farrin, Thank you Moe.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 9 (26:36):
You can't be demanding, You can't be relentless. You can't
put yourself first, so put yourself first.
Speaker 10 (26:46):
You can't be confident, so be confident. You can't challenge,
so challenge.
Speaker 9 (26:53):
You can't dominate it, so dominate. You can't flex, so flex.
So you can't fill a stadium, So to fill that stadium.
Speaker 10 (27:04):
You can't be emotional, so be emotional.
Speaker 9 (27:08):
You can't take credit, you can't steak up, can't be
so ambition, bring.
Speaker 10 (27:12):
I can't have any fun make, I can't keep, I
can't stand out. Whatever you do, you can't win, so win,
can't buy.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
It's labor bo Kelly relived everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. No,
for all the bad commercials that I saw yesterday, that
Nike commercial was the only one that stuck with me.
It's like, let me see what this is about? Okay,
I get it, And then they wrapped it up with
a nice bow at the air.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
I liked it.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Now does it Is it a call to action for
me to go out and buy tickets to this or that?
Speaker 3 (27:53):
No?
Speaker 1 (27:53):
But I thought that ad was impactful given all the
other garbage out there, Usually there was an ad that
would make me laugh or.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Like, oh let me check out there's something there was
nothing like that.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Yesterday and I watched the whole game each ad block.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
I saw nothing funny.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Wow, not the not the the dunkin Donuts with bid affleck.
I thought that was tired this year, and now the
Lasteria outbreak with yeah, yeah, yeah, it's just nothing. I
was looking forward to the commercials. I couldn't find anything.
Did you guys find anything.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
That a New Thunderbolts preview that was pretty good, that was.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Phenomenal, but arguably none of the other film commercials are
trailers big game ad spots.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
We're good. Ones were like, well, this was a waste
of time. And a lot of these ads I'd already
seen a lot of them. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Now, the one that we were I was talking about
with Shannon Farron was the one with Seal playing an
actual seal or something. When I saw that on it
was like, ooh, Seal, you must be hurting for money
because oo.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
Mountain dew baha blast, m hm.
Speaker 10 (29:11):
Hm refreshing, it's.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Kissed by the perfect amount of trapped. The line this
a seal as a seal singing on top of a
rock to kiss from a dime.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
On the.
Speaker 10 (29:35):
Moment I think, yeah, my.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Fast cat on Mountain two.
Speaker 10 (29:43):
It's stepped front of the ball shade.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Now the orcas circling the Pope. That stupid travelers now
twenty so much. Well, this is the weirdest thing I've
(30:12):
ever seen. Mountain dude, Baja blast a blast of trumpical
seals in the book seal.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
None of this makes sense, none of it, None of it.
And you know what, I have no desire to drink
mountain dew.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
That commercial was to me. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
The seals face hyper pose onto a seal.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
It was scary. It was scary. It was like something
out of a nightmare Mark.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
You would have appreciated. It would have done well in
a horror movie. I'm glad I missed it.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
It's not too late.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
You can always find it. No, No, the thunderbolts is
plenty for me. I really want to see that. The
rest I couldn't care less about for me.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
That's part of the reason why I do tune into
the super Bowl because during the ad breaks usually there
is a major movie trailer inserted, maybe two or three.
I don't know what the other two were supposed to be.
As far as major movies, I can't remember any of them,
so they couldn't.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
I know.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
They did a how to Train Your Dragon? Oh, I
saw that, that's right, which that didn't do anything to
sell it. No, the extended mission, impossible final mission, or whatever.
I did not like this trailer as much as I
liked the original trail, because this trailer seemed like it
was just a confusing mess versus the first trailer, the
(31:28):
teaser trailer, which really sold the intensity. It was like
this was a recut, rehashed version of that, where I
was just like.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
This is too much. Now, you're doing too much of
this trailer.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Something said to me that there had to be a
better way to spend eight million dollars actually sixteen million,
because I think it was eight million for thirty seconds.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Those were at least a minute.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
I'm thinking sixteen million for those minute long spots. If
you're going to spend that type of money, make sure
you're getting your money's worth.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
And I don't think.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Yes, I'm not the ad exec, but I don't think
that that's the best way to spend sixteen million dollars.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
I had read a great deal about the commercials, and
someone pointed out that there was a pardon me, a
Jesus commercial and and that actual Jesus might have used
that eight million bucks to help people instead of a
Super Bowl commercial.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Not wrong, No, it was a good non It's a
great point, you know, the whole idea of Jesus throwing
out the money changers in the temple. Jesus is not
going to spend sixteen million dollars in self promotion. I
don't think I had a marketing team.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
Now, speaking of Jesus, Jesus Yeezy did an ad. Yeah,
he's promoting. This is not directly.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
He was in a chair, Dennis chair, and he shot
this commercial air quotes on an iPhone face with the
camera face toward him, and he shows off his new grill,
which was ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
And he's just talking about the grill.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
But he says, go to my website, and I'm not
going to tell you what it was, but it was
probably featured on the screen. It's a bare bones ad,
there's nothing special about it. It's anybody's phone and says,
go to my website. Come to fight out later it
is selling just Nazi T shirts for twenty dollars.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Seriously, what the hell did you ever think or did
our parents or grandparents ever think that we were going
to be dealing with Nazis out in the open again
in the year of Our Lord twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
What is going on?
Speaker 1 (33:18):
I don't think they could have predicted anything which just
happened since twenty sixteen.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Nothing but the Nazi stuff in particular is egregious.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
This is nuts. Oh, that's egregious. I can find some
other increagious things as well.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Yeah, you know, I know it's a photo finish, but seriously, Nazis.
All of our popular culture from the time we were
growing up indicated that Nazis were bad, and now we
have Nazis.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
They're going under a rebranding It's Nazi twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Well you got the jazz hands with the Nazis. Yeah,
ignorance is bliss. We have zero bliss, completely blissless.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Okay.
