Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Then if you're uber romantic, maybe you have big plans
for tomorrow night, the fourteenth of February. That's what I
call it. I don't call it Valentine's Say this is
the fourteenth of February. My wife and I are not
in the Valentine's Day say what you want. It was
a conversation we had before we even got married, the
(00:26):
expectations for Valentine's Day, and there are none real quick.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Have you ever been like with past relationships at all?
Speaker 4 (00:33):
No?
Speaker 3 (00:33):
I have.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
It's only because whoever I was dating, it was important
to her. The expectation has always been placed upon me,
like you gotta do something for Valentine's Day. And I
think it's more of a function of her friends, you know,
the Medland friends always got to have something to say.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
What's he doing for Valentine's Day? Where is he taking you?
Going to dinner? You're gonna do something romantic.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
There's always expectations. So because it's then to go back,
I can get to show off what they did, because
ultimately she has to report back to her friends, and
so either my name would be mud or not. But yes,
I've always been subject to the expectations. I personally have
never cared or put any importance on it. It's the
(01:18):
fourteenth of February, or if I'm really being a smart ass,
it's the day before the fifteenth of February.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
That's all it is for me.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
But there are a lot of people out there, men included,
who find Valentine's Day enjoyable and very, very very important
to a relationship.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
I just don't happen to be one of them.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
I don't think Twala is either, and I don't think
you are, Stephan And I know sure as hell markism, well,
you kind of have.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
To read the room before you make any announcement on
the fourteenth of February.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
He kind of gave himself away when he thought that
Friday was after Valentine's Day.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Right, No, Right, Sometimes you can look out as I did,
and find somebody who really doesn't attach a ton of
importance to that one day if you're a decent human being,
most of the rest of the year.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Look, but.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
The fourteenth of February and weddings really have nothing to
do with men. It has nothing to do with us.
The wedding is all about the bride. It is everything
for the bride. The same with the fourteenth of February.
I don't care, and I don't believe on average most
(02:31):
men care. No, But if they care, you're gonna care,
especially if you mess it up. Yeah, and you're gonna
be informed if you mess it up, and you're probably
gonna have a very very cold fourteenth of February.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
I should also add that if they say they don't care,
that doesn't necessarily mean they don't care.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
I take that as a guarantee.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
That's why we had an extended protracted negotiation period and
a contract so there will be no misunderstanding.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
You can't change it later. You said you didn't care.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
You wanted to make sure that we, as a husband
and wife, did not care about Valentine's Day.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
It can get complicated, and honestly, you need to break
out the polygraph or one of those galvanic skin response
things because you don't know if they mean exactly what
they're saying.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Yeah, it's almost like, so, what do you want for
your birthday? I don't know. You don't have to throw
me like a surprise party or anything.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Is that what they do, which means yes, which means
you better throw them a big ass surprise party with
all their friends.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
I don't care. It's just another day. You know, whatever
you want to do.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
It's fine. Just like a recording right there, it's okay,
and we men, we are literal, We will listen to
what you say. I asked you what would you like
to do for the fourteenth of February. You told me, oh,
nothing is fine, it's no big deal.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
You know, my girls going to be out of town
with their husbands doing something romantic. But me, I don't
care at all. Yep.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
As your spiritual advisor, I say, if if your significant
others says they don't care, your response can't just be
okay and then you turn around and go about your business.
You need to show some vigilance on this front. It's
almost as bad as the what do you want for dinner?
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Question?
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Oh god, yeah, it's like one of the where it's
just like, you know you can't get whatever you want,
and you throw out five different options right, no, no, no, no,
and instead of instead of why don't you just tell
me what you want?
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Don't expect me to figure it out?
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Because I tell my wife all the time she's listening,
she would swear this is true. Look, I am not
a psydekick. It is not for me to figure out
what you mean or what may be going on in
your mind. You're supposed to tell me, and if you
don't tell me, I'm not responsible for what you don't
tell me.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Okay, that's why for me it's a trap as a
married man.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Setting this up. It's a trap when you say, huh,
it's okay, I don't want to do anything for the
fourteenth of February. Why don't you go out with your
guys and see Captain America.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Brave News soldier. You sure a baby? Yeah, I'm sure.
No crap every single time. It's a trap. El merle
Acbarn knows as well. You don't.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
You don't think Admiral Acbar is married? What do you
suppose his wife looks like.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Calamarish?
Speaker 4 (05:33):
I think I've Let's not take that any further, please,
I want to know from you as a married man. Uh,
what percentage of married life consists of? What do you
want to watch on TV? And what do you want
to do for dinner? See eighty or one hundred?
Speaker 2 (05:50):
No?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
No, no, no, it's different.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
In our household, and I think we're atypical, if only
because we lead very different professional lives. As far as timing,
she may be gone from the house is seven in
the morning, she may not get back until seven pm. Basically,
I'm starting at seven pm on the air, and I
may not get back to the house before eleven pm.
She's already asleep. So what do you want for dinner?
Is not a conversation we're gonna have during the week
(06:14):
because you're not in our house. Yeah, we're completely opposite.
Your Your lunch is her dinner.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Right now.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
We may meet on the weekend, and if she wants
to watch something, she's just gonna watch it on the
biggest ass TV in the house because she's just gonna
claim it. And I'll just go upstairs and watch my
little heaty bitty TV in my office.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
I see, Okay, we're not watching much together. We're not.
It sounds magical.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I gotta tell you, it actually works because I'm not
gonna watch reality TV.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
I'm not.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
She's into, you know, the Real Housewives, the Real Housewives,
ninety day fiance married at First Sight, all that kind
of stuff.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
All that stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
She knows all the shows I have no desire to
watch any of them, not a one of them.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Not one.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Yeah, we've got a little more in common on that
front than I was hoping. Yeah, you might as well
just go on and get married. I might as well
just go out, go get behind the wheel right now.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Drive thirty five miles an hour down the one end.
Time for some drifting practice.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
When we come back, we're going to actually get to
these recommendations for your fourteenth of February celebrations. Whatever you
want to do tomorrow night. If you haven't thought of
something to do, that's next, hit tech Cropper, and I
can't help you with that. Okay, if you fall in
the trap, you fall in the trap. We've already warned you.
If she says no, I'm all right, we don't have
to do anything. We can just stay in. Just know
(07:36):
hit Tech Crop kf I AM six forty. We're live
everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
And here's some things that you can do this fourteenth
of February weekend, just in case you haven't figured out
something to do with your significant other.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Not that I'm unromantic.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I'm just not Valentine's Day invested, but there are a
lot of people who are. And if you are someone
who doesn't know what to do because you have a.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
High maintenance partner, here's something you can do.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
You can dance at the Odyssey the Clay Collective, which
is at the Odyssey Theater two zero five to five
South Suppabla Boulevard and West La I know exactly where.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
That is moderately priced.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Twenty eight dollars, but it's running Friday through Sunday and
a recently founded Clay Collective is an eclectic group of
artists representing a plethora of genres. Together they offer an
exciting evening of hip hop, fusion and contemporary dance. There
is all sorts of musicality and dance going on, and yeah,
(08:45):
see like it would be a good time if you're
into that kind of thing. There's also the Skyline Festival
which is going on at Gloria Molina Grand Park, which
is two hundred North Grand Avenue downtown, where they have
the New Year's Eve celebration. That will be Saturday and Sunday,
so you don't necessarily need to worry about it On
Friday itself, but but it's kind of pricey.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
One hundred and forty dollars and up.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
The Skyline Festival, a popular house slash electronic music event,
will feature a number of artists such as Honey, Djon,
Not Familiar, the Martinez Brothers Not Familiar, Gordo, can't say
I'm familiar, and Green Velvet Mark.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
What do you get for that one hundred and forty bucks?
A bunch of groups that I'm not familiar with.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
We've gotten to the point where I can't tell if
some of the group names you're mentioning are just made up.
Honey d Jon, Yes, I prefer Buffalo Okay, Buffalo Wing.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Yeah, I'm getting hungry though. Now I don't even take
that one back. I didn't deserve that, Like that wasn't
even my best stuff. No, no, I was a throwaway.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
But I'm so out of touch with current music that
you could just get a random name generator and I
couldn't tell if it was a real band or not.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Here's one that might interest some people, especially listeners to
Later with Moe Kelly, Michael Shannon the actor is a
fabulous performer, fabulous and Michael Shannon and Jason Narduci are
going to be performing ore EM's Fables of the Reconstruction
at the Bell Weather, which is three thirty three South
Boylston Street, downtown LA. If you're familiar with the La
(10:23):
club scene, it's where Prince used to have his club,
Glam Slam back in the day. Cost us forty eight
dollars and of course, two time Oscar nominee Oscar nominee
Michael Shannon joins forces with musician Jason Nardussi and they're
going to play Ram's nineteen eighty five LP Fables of
the Reconstruction celebrating its fortieth anniversary. Comedian Dave Hill opens
(10:47):
the evening. That's something I would I think I might
be interested in, just because having nothing to do with
Valentine's Day weekend, the fact that that.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Record's forty years old makes me want to just take
my teeth out and soak them in a glass.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
I know, and you think it's only look, it's only
twel Yeah. The math is the math. And I remember
fondly we're talking about Denny's. I remember the early nineteen
nineties very fondly, and that's thirty plus years ago, and
it shouldn't be like that. The first time that happened
to me was listening to uh because you grew up
(11:20):
here so keart one on one is always catered to
the oldies. And one day I was driving and they
were playing No Doubt, and I'm like, that's an oldie?
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Are you kidding? And now, like you said, I'm like, oh, yeah,
that's about thirty years old.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Yeah, yeah, because when you start when I started listening
to oldies in the nineties, they were playing nineteen seventies music,
feel sixties, late sixties, and he's.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Like, godly, that was before I was born. I'm that's
old music. And now it's like, hey, that's from the
prime of our lives. What is going on? How can
it be forty years ago?
Speaker 4 (11:55):
When your music becomes oldies, it's time to start putting
your house in order. We saw ari Em and Seattle
when Michael Stipe still still had hair.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
That's how old we are.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Yeah, And you see them as all people age and
you realize that they don't look like they did on
the album cover or when they were at their peak,
and it's just oh, like I saw a picture of
Donald Fagan the other day and I realized, oh, that's
(12:27):
not the same Donald Fagan that I remember from forty
five years ago.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
What's he look like now? I haven't seen any current photos.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
He's a late seventies, he's had a lot of health issues,
and he looks like someone's.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Grandfather, like almost great grandfather.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Well, you know, and then you realize that's how we
look to other people.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
You speak for yourself.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Like the other example is when we were shopping as
a kid and be with my dad and they'd be
playing Santana. He was man, that was like on the
rock station when I was when I was a kid.
Now mall music, Yeah music, Yeah, and that happened to me.
But you recognize the song and you're singing along and
young people are like.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
What the hell?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
And now it's like you hear Lincoln Park and I'm
like in the ball in the grocery store.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Yes, yeah, Look.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I'm a huge Steely Dan fan, and when I see
my musical heroes mortal, it's kind of hard for me
to deal with. I'm thinking, like, they're looking the exact
same way they did in nineteen eighty five, and they don't,
and it reminds me I don't even look like what
I did in nineteen eighty five. It's like a sophomore
(13:41):
in high school. It's not fair, Mark Ronner, he was
already in college at that point.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Just be careful here. I look younger than both of you.
Yes you do, Yes you do, but you're not. So
that's all that matters.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Also, on Sunday the sixteenth, it's not necessarily Valentine weekend connected,
but it is something that you can do with your
significant other or spouse. There's the note that Benito versus
Drake and it's going to be at the Reserve, which
is six point fifty South Spring Street in downtown La
(14:15):
Cost is reasonable from fourteen dollars to thirty seven dollars
depending on the ticket and quote. This is for the
baddies and their friends who want to have a Sunday
fun day since there's no school or work for most folks.
Remember it's President's Day weekend and you may not have
to work that Monday. I do, Mark Ronerd does, Tuala does,
(14:36):
Stephan does. When you're working in radio, every holiday for
y'all is a work day for us. It's kind of
like your Valentine's Day. For fourteenth, Presence Day is just
a Monday day. It's Monday. I mean with all the holidays.
It could be King Holiday, it could be President's Day,
it could be Labor Day. It's a work day for
the most part. You know, I have to take an
(14:58):
actual vacation day to get Christmas off it. Actually, yeah,
I think we all have to because I think it's
the middle of the week this year right now. No,
I'm just well, I'm just saying in general, Yeah, we
don't get that just because it's Christmas we get the
day off.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
I have to take a day off.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Well, you mean December twenty fifth, yes, the day before
the twenty sixth.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Yes. Not everybody's that into it, you know. I'm calling
it with the day what it is. Okay.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
When I refer to Valentine's Day, I'm just referring to
it like it's the Gulf of America. Okay, I'm just
calling oh boy, I'm calling it what it is. Let's
avoid that quagmire freedom fries anyhow. The reserve, excuse me not,
Benito versus Drake is from fourteen dollars to thirty seven dollars,
(15:48):
And it seems like it'd be a good time if
you want to get out there and groove and shake
your booty, which with your significant other, and if it's
your music, then it is for you. And that's I
think the best art about I'll say if you're if
you do get married, make sure you have someone that
you have a lot of social interests with that you
(16:08):
don't mind spending time with them in a social setting.
For example, I I'm complicated in respect that I'm a
people person. I can walk into any room and it's
like I'm comfortable. You know, I can work the room,
talk to people. But I'm not the person who always
wants to be on. Since I'm on the air, I'm
(16:29):
on the air. But when I'm not on the air,
I don't want to be on. I don't want to
have to. I just want to just be able to
just not talk.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
You don't want to perform for people at the snap
of the fingers when you're in a social setting.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
No dog and pony show, Nope, nope. You want to
just be right.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
But my wife kind of understands that. So we have
like this sign language. We'll give each other the sign
when one is one of us is ready to exit
the premises. It could be an excuse, it could be whatever,
but we just have this unspoken.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Language where we can look at each other.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
It's like time to go to get baseball signals and
stuff like all the kind of pull a lover the ear,
rubby the eyebrow.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
And yes, all those kinds of things.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Because look after certain bar, she's not an all night
type of person. So the only time that she will
step late is usually for like New Year's Eve party
something like that, like we did we went to Catalita.
But other than that, if the party is going south
or she's going down as far as getting sleepy, she'll
give you the high sign kind of like a nod
her head to me saying time to go, and then
(17:34):
we'll give some lazy ass excuse like oh, we got
to go check on the dogs, and we're out of there,
out out of there, and it works for us. That's
the whole point that you'll find yourself enjoying these nights
out when you have the same type of appreciation for
going out. If one of you is really into the
(17:55):
big and over the top stuff and the other person isn't,
it's not going to work.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
It's just gonna cost you a lot of money in
the long run. But you cannot put a price tag
on the ability to use them as an excuse in
any situation.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Aren't they great for that? Seriously?
Speaker 2 (18:09):
I know, you know, I don't feel bad about it. Ever,
It's like, look, we've been going for like six hours.
I'm tapping my watch, Gotta check on Riley and Benson,
make sure they haven't like soiled the place, and they
never would. It's not even a concern. And they have
no idea that what you're using them for that they
don't care. Give them a treat.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
They're good.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Well, if anything, they're okay with it because we're back
home soon to say earlier.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
So it's not it's win win.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Yeah, it's not a lie per se. It's more like
a pink lie. It's not a white Lives. It's one
of those things where it's not completely untrue. It's just
not completely true, if you know what I mean. Oh yeah,
it's Later with mo Kelly. This goes back to my
Dinny days. I'm kind of like splitting my morality here.
(18:55):
You know, it's not really stealing if I pay it
back in twenty five years, thirty years, it's not really stealing.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Nice trying.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on Demand from
KFI AM six.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Forty KFI mo Kelly Live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app
and every once in a while we'll come across the
story which is just perfect.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
For this show, just absolutely perfect.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
It mixes politics with movie theaters and the entertainment experience.
This is something you may hear about in the coming weeks.
There is a bill which has been proposed by Connecticut
State Senator Martin Looney, which could, as it's being described,
revolutionize how movie theaters operate by requiring them to list
(19:49):
both the pre show and actual features start time separately.
For example, all the Fellows were going out to see
Captain America Braveview World tonight. It starts at let's say
two in the morning. It's going to feel like two
in the morning for me. That's the listed start time.
The actual movie won't start to about two thirty, which
(20:13):
means there's a good half hour of trailers, two minutes
of Nicole Kidman, maybe an AMC promo, there's probably an
M and m's commercial, you know, all the stuff that
we're accustomed to seeing prior to the actual movie. But
the listed start time will be two a m. The
(20:34):
actual movie won't start until two thirty am. And this
bill is set to address something just like that. If
you didn't know, major chains like AMC already provide general
guidance about pre show lenk.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
They'll let you know, but you have to dig for
the information.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
But this bill would mandate it, at least in the
state of Connecticut. This bill would mandate specific time disclosures
for all theaters, and it would it probably would disrupt
how we would go to the movies because we would
go better understanding. Now, if you go to the movies
a lot, you already know that the time listed on
the ticket, or you know, the supposed start time of
(21:18):
the movies, not the start time of the movie. We
know that, but it has increasingly changed over the years
where the time between the listed time and the actual
start time has gotten larger and larger and larger.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
It used to be about fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Now you can bet with a major movie release like tonight,
when we see Captain America Bravery World, it will be
at least thirty minutes at the minimum thirty minutes.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
I'm talking about maybe five trailers, three commercials to Nicole Kidman's.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Who See That is to life, to cry, to care,
because we need to care all of us English and
we go to Nicole Kidman's and a Partridge and a
pear tree.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
There's a lot going on before the movie.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
And if you're trying to schedule with friends, like hey,
we're gonna meet at the I don't know, the regal
cinemas in a Landra, Alhambra, whatever, and the movie starts
at six pm. Six pm doesn't mean six pm. It
usually bes the movies gonna start around six thirty. And
I know some people, me included, especially if I know
(22:36):
if there's not gonna be a fight for parking or
it's probably an empty theater, I will just tack on
thirty minutes. I just know, Okay, the ticket says six pm,
I will show my ass up at six fifteen. And
by the time I get my food whatever, because I
always got to get food when I go to the theater.
I can sit down around six thirty. Because I don't
(22:56):
need to see the trailers, especially in a YouTube world.
I can find any trailer that is in a movie house. Okay,
there's nothing. Look, there's probably gonna be a Thunderbolts trailer
when we go see the movie tonight, next Marvel movie.
I can find that, right now on YouTube. They're not
gonna show me anything special. And that's kind of a
sad part about it, because I remember that being part
(23:18):
of the experience as a kid, like, oh, it's going
to be the new movie because you couldn't YouTube it,
you know, back in the nineties, eighties whatever.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
So you know, it just sucks.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
You're like, well, I can see them later, So yeah,
like you said, you can get your snacks and everything
plan thirty minutes. This legislation was introduced back on January
twenty first, and I don't know where it's going to go,
but it does probably suggest that other.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
State level politicians will follow.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Suit, if only because it makes sense realistically, it's logical,
and it's something that we've all talked about at some point.
I don't know if anyone who goes to the movies
and has not complained about how much pre filler is there,
and it's gotten longer and longer and longer. And I
also think that it has added to the number of
(24:08):
reasons why we would rather stay home. It's one less
look because going to the movies now is a commitment.
It's it's a time commitment. If you know the movie,
like Martin Scorsese. Okay, the Flower Moon whatevers is three
hours and thirty five minutes long the movie, and we
know that there's another thirty minutes on top of that
(24:29):
pre show.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Well, you know what, I'm just not going to go
because that's.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
A four hour commitment, saying nothing of driving two and
driving from the theater.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
What's funny is they have gotten longer, and you can
tell when the audience starts to turn now because groaning.
We used to be excited to see the trailers, and
now after more than two or three of them, you
get into the trailers and commercials. It galls people to
pay money to go see a movie in person and
still be subjected to commercials. So yeah, they do star
(25:00):
groaning after a certain point.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
That's a great point because there are more commercials which
I don't consider to be content. You have the commercial
for the for the Doobe Sound, which is a straight
up commercial. You have the commercial for the please Stop
Talking and texting. It's necessary, but it's still a commercial.
You have the commercial obviously for the Nicole Kidman. You
(25:21):
have the commercial for the local theaters, like, hey, if
you want to rint this theater nine nine nine four
four two seven or something. You know, there's always something
which has nothing to do with the actual movie.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
The thing is, I've kind of got mixed feelings about
this legislation because my knee jerk impulse is, yeah, give
it to the man. I want to know when the
movie starts and I want all that information. On the
other hand, with theaters teetering on the brink of extinction,
I'm willing to endure a little bit more that I
don't care for, just because I'd like them to stay
around longer.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
And I'm with.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
You, and part of the way that they can make
money is to have commercials, So I am sympathetic, but
I don't necessarily need to see the commercials. You could
put them in and you can charge your ad rates whatever.
But if you really knew the financials behind running the theater,
it can be very expensive for a largely empty place.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Oh, they rely on you buying your little commie McNuggets
to make the rent. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Yeah, the tickets don't keep the theaters aplow session. It's
the concessions.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Yeah, absolutely, it's later with mo Kelly, and yes, we
will have a combined I think it's gonna be a
combined 'run a report tomorrow on Captain America bravenew World.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Right, that's fair to.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Say, run a report plus NERD Roundtable. Yeah, pretty much? Oh,
pretty much sounds good.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
It's Later with mo Kelly CAFI AM six forty. We
are live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
I'm not ashamed to admit a Small World ride is
one of my favorite rides at Disneyland, but not for
the reasons most people probably think. I can say that
some of my best memories were on Small World, especially
grad Night nineteen eighty seven.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Graduated from South Torron's High School.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
I don't know if they still have grad Night at Disneyland,
but they did when I was in high school, and
back in nineteen eighty seven, there weren't a lot of
high schools which went to Disneyland. The park was closed
down and you'd have maybe, I don't know, thirty to
forty high schools, which meant the park was relatively empty
(27:31):
and we all were of the same mindset. We're all
seventeen or eighteen, we just graduated from high school, and
the place to.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Be was on Small World.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Small World back in the nineteen eighties was different from
the Small World now. Back in the nineteen eighties, and
I know Touala can testify to this mark. I don't
know if you knew this or had gone to Disneyland
at that point.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
Well, I prefer to get it on in the matterhorn
small World sounds a little bit too insulting.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
No, it's okay, only if you're not too safety for that.
Thank you for that.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Small World used to be very dark.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
The lights were really down lovel Now there were cameras,
but hey, we didn't care about putting on a show.
But at least as far as the ambiance was concerned.
It was a slow ride. It was a dark ride.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
And it was a long ride.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
You had enough time to get it in, You had
enough time to do some.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Stuff on Small World.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Was it kind of disconcerting or unnerving to hear that
Small World song in the background. Yeah, was a little
bit unsettling to see the little Small World kind of
childlike animatronics going back and forth and gyrating while you
were trying to get it on.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
A Small World.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Yeah, sure, I can see it all that, But I
was seventeen years old, and I had a girlfriend at
the time, and it was postgraduation.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
It was on and cracking.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
You're trying to tell me you never got the full
Bobert in the Hall of Presidents.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Not the Hall of Presidents. I'm just saying, Small World
has been better.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Betty good to me. I don't care. I have lived.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
The whole point of me telling this story is because
Disneyland is adding a new verse to it. It's a
Small World ride for the park's seventieth anniversary. Now they're
going to be changes all around Disneyland from Main Street,
USA on down. But it's a Small World. There's going
(29:37):
to be another verse. And the way that you can
interpret this is the ride is going to be longer.
There will be more time for debauchery, the happiest place
on Earth. I can say this. I'm not proud of it.
Actually I am proud of it. I can say this.
I wasn't the only one trying to get it in
(29:58):
on Small World. I'm saying, get it in. Man, What
am I supposed to say? What is the euphemisiness you
would prefer? I can't say any of it.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
That's my point. That's why.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
That is why the other rides back in the nineteen
eighties which were great for it. The aforementioned and frequently
mentioned sky gondola which took you, i think from Tomorrow
Land to Fantasyland across the park. That was about maybe
a seven or eight minute ride. Is that where you
threw the mustard? Correct?
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Now?
Speaker 2 (30:32):
The problem with that is too much movement in the
cabin made it difficult. Difficult. I'll just leave it at that.
The logistics of it were not conducive to the best experience,
but the seven or eight minute thing wasn't a problem
(30:52):
at that age. At that age, you were just happy
for any time you had alone, right. The Halloween Hunted
Man that was a good one. That was a good
one because you were on the those big chairs and everything.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Yeah, that's almost I almost argue.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
I mean, it's it's a shorter ride, but that's almost
better because you're you're you're kind of like in a yes.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Yes, And it was much darker back in the day
as well. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Space Mountain no, no, uh, the matter Horn no, Mark said,
the matter Horn No, wasn't good. Splash Mountain Nope.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
No.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Pirates of the Caribbean. There are some points in it
where you can do some stuff. But that the only
problem with that is you share a whole bench with
a bunch of other people. But grad night they were
there were all the time, right, you'd have your whole
I don't know, boat to yourself, that's true. Yeah, so yeah,
or the other kids trying to write and we were
all of the same mind. Just don't look over here.
(31:50):
You stay your eyes over there. I won't look at y'all.
You don't look at us awkward, not at the time.
They're just but Mark, you remember when you were seventeen eighteen,
he just did stuff that was not probably smart or
well advised.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
I was a little shy, but I had friends who
fit that description. You've never tried to. I just that's
all I'm gonna say. You never tried to even don't
don't did it ever cross your mind?
Speaker 3 (32:15):
Negative? Don't. I love making you so uncomfortable. He cannot
stand it.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
So if you are a Disney veteran like me, and
hopefully they've turned the lights back down, because they the
last time I went, they really turned the lights up.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
It doesn't have the same bomb beyond yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Either that or they added more lights because it the
last time I went, it was definitely brighter. Yeah, it's
almost like wait a minute, I'm like walking into my room.
It's not quite the same, you know, I was waiting
for like it used to be where they were almost like, uh,
you'd have Teddy Pendergrass playing in the background. It's like
get you in the mood. Small World was the place
to be, and it was one other the teacup Ride.
(32:57):
Come on, no.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
No, no, no, no, no, no no, wasn't a teacup ride.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Oh Tom Sawyer Island, Yes, Tom Sawyer Island, the Ferrier,
the actual No, the actual island. Because they had these
like tunnels and alcos and places where you could go
on the.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
Island to get some alone time.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
I can't believe I'm the only one who saw Disneyland
as the opportunity to really be the happiest place on
earth with happy endings. You beat me to it, That's
what she said. Kf I A six forty. We're live
everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. K S I'm the k
ost E HD two Los Angeles, Orange County lives
Speaker 3 (33:36):
Everywhere on the radio app
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Then if you're uber romantic, maybe you have big plans
for tomorrow night, the fourteenth of February. That's what I
call it. I don't call it Valentine's Say this is
the fourteenth of February. My wife and I are not
in the Valentine's Day say what you want. It was
a conversation we had before we even got married, the
(00:26):
expectations for Valentine's Day, and there are none real quick.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Have you ever been like with past relationships at all?
Speaker 4 (00:33):
No?
Speaker 3 (00:33):
I have.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
It's only because whoever I was dating, it was important
to her. The expectation has always been placed upon me,
like you gotta do something for Valentine's Day. And I
think it's more of a function of her friends, you know,
the Medland friends always got to have something to say.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
What's he doing for Valentine's Day? Where is he taking you?
Going to dinner? You're gonna do something romantic.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
There's always expectations. So because it's then to go back,
I can get to show off what they did, because
ultimately she has to report back to her friends, and
so either my name would be mud or not. But yes,
I've always been subject to the expectations. I personally have
never cared or put any importance on it. It's the
(01:18):
fourteenth of February, or if I'm really being a smart ass,
it's the day before the fifteenth of February.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
That's all it is for me.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
But there are a lot of people out there, men included,
who find Valentine's Day enjoyable and very, very very important
to a relationship.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
I just don't happen to be one of them.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
I don't think Twala is either, and I don't think
you are, Stephan And I know sure as hell markism, well,
you kind of have.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
To read the room before you make any announcement on
the fourteenth of February.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
He kind of gave himself away when he thought that
Friday was after Valentine's Day.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Right, No, Right, Sometimes you can look out as I did,
and find somebody who really doesn't attach a ton of
importance to that one day if you're a decent human being,
most of the rest of the year.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Look, but.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
The fourteenth of February and weddings really have nothing to
do with men. It has nothing to do with us.
The wedding is all about the bride. It is everything
for the bride. The same with the fourteenth of February.
I don't care, and I don't believe on average most
(02:31):
men care. No, But if they care, you're gonna care,
especially if you mess it up. Yeah, and you're gonna
be informed if you mess it up, and you're probably
gonna have a very very cold fourteenth of February.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
I should also add that if they say they don't care,
that doesn't necessarily mean they don't care.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
I take that as a guarantee.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
That's why we had an extended protracted negotiation period and
a contract so there will be no misunderstanding.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
You can't change it later. You said you didn't care.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
You wanted to make sure that we, as a husband
and wife, did not care about Valentine's Day.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
It can get complicated, and honestly, you need to break
out the polygraph or one of those galvanic skin response
things because you don't know if they mean exactly what
they're saying.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Yeah, it's almost like, so, what do you want for
your birthday? I don't know. You don't have to throw
me like a surprise party or anything.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Is that what they do, which means yes, which means
you better throw them a big ass surprise party with
all their friends.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
I don't care. It's just another day. You know, whatever
you want to do.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
It's fine. Just like a recording right there, it's okay,
and we men, we are literal, We will listen to
what you say. I asked you what would you like
to do for the fourteenth of February. You told me, oh,
nothing is fine, it's no big deal.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
You know, my girls going to be out of town
with their husbands doing something romantic. But me, I don't
care at all. Yep.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
As your spiritual advisor, I say, if if your significant
others says they don't care, your response can't just be
okay and then you turn around and go about your business.
You need to show some vigilance on this front. It's
almost as bad as the what do you want for dinner?
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Question?
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Oh god, yeah, it's like one of the where it's
just like, you know you can't get whatever you want,
and you throw out five different options right, no, no, no, no,
and instead of instead of why don't you just tell
me what you want?
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Don't expect me to figure it out?
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Because I tell my wife all the time she's listening,
she would swear this is true. Look, I am not
a psydekick. It is not for me to figure out
what you mean or what may be going on in
your mind. You're supposed to tell me, and if you
don't tell me, I'm not responsible for what you don't
tell me.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Okay, that's why for me it's a trap as a
married man.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Setting this up. It's a trap when you say, huh,
it's okay, I don't want to do anything for the
fourteenth of February. Why don't you go out with your
guys and see Captain America.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Brave News soldier. You sure a baby? Yeah, I'm sure.
No crap every single time. It's a trap. El merle
Acbarn knows as well. You don't.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
You don't think Admiral Acbar is married? What do you
suppose his wife looks like.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Calamarish?
Speaker 4 (05:33):
I think I've Let's not take that any further, please,
I want to know from you as a married man. Uh,
what percentage of married life consists of? What do you
want to watch on TV? And what do you want
to do for dinner? See eighty or one hundred?
Speaker 2 (05:50):
No?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
No, no, no, it's different.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
In our household, and I think we're atypical, if only
because we lead very different professional lives. As far as timing,
she may be gone from the house is seven in
the morning, she may not get back until seven pm. Basically,
I'm starting at seven pm on the air, and I
may not get back to the house before eleven pm.
She's already asleep. So what do you want for dinner?
Is not a conversation we're gonna have during the week
(06:14):
because you're not in our house. Yeah, we're completely opposite.
Your Your lunch is her dinner.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Right now.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
We may meet on the weekend, and if she wants
to watch something, she's just gonna watch it on the
biggest ass TV in the house because she's just gonna
claim it. And I'll just go upstairs and watch my
little heaty bitty TV in my office.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
I see, Okay, we're not watching much together. We're not.
It sounds magical.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I gotta tell you, it actually works because I'm not
gonna watch reality TV.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
I'm not.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
She's into, you know, the Real Housewives, the Real Housewives,
ninety day fiance married at First Sight, all that kind
of stuff.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
All that stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
She knows all the shows I have no desire to
watch any of them, not a one of them.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Not one.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Yeah, we've got a little more in common on that
front than I was hoping. Yeah, you might as well
just go on and get married. I might as well
just go out, go get behind the wheel right now.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Drive thirty five miles an hour down the one end.
Time for some drifting practice.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
When we come back, we're going to actually get to
these recommendations for your fourteenth of February celebrations. Whatever you
want to do tomorrow night. If you haven't thought of
something to do, that's next, hit tech Cropper, and I
can't help you with that. Okay, if you fall in
the trap, you fall in the trap. We've already warned you.
If she says no, I'm all right, we don't have
to do anything. We can just stay in. Just know
(07:36):
hit Tech Crop kf I AM six forty. We're live
everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
And here's some things that you can do this fourteenth
of February weekend, just in case you haven't figured out
something to do with your significant other.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Not that I'm unromantic.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I'm just not Valentine's Day invested, but there are a
lot of people who are. And if you are someone
who doesn't know what to do because you have a.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
High maintenance partner, here's something you can do.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
You can dance at the Odyssey the Clay Collective, which
is at the Odyssey Theater two zero five to five
South Suppabla Boulevard and West La I know exactly where.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
That is moderately priced.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Twenty eight dollars, but it's running Friday through Sunday and
a recently founded Clay Collective is an eclectic group of
artists representing a plethora of genres. Together they offer an
exciting evening of hip hop, fusion and contemporary dance. There
is all sorts of musicality and dance going on, and yeah,
(08:45):
see like it would be a good time if you're
into that kind of thing. There's also the Skyline Festival
which is going on at Gloria Molina Grand Park, which
is two hundred North Grand Avenue downtown, where they have
the New Year's Eve celebration. That will be Saturday and Sunday,
so you don't necessarily need to worry about it On
Friday itself, but but it's kind of pricey.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
One hundred and forty dollars and up.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
The Skyline Festival, a popular house slash electronic music event,
will feature a number of artists such as Honey, Djon,
Not Familiar, the Martinez Brothers Not Familiar, Gordo, can't say
I'm familiar, and Green Velvet Mark.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
What do you get for that one hundred and forty bucks?
A bunch of groups that I'm not familiar with.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
We've gotten to the point where I can't tell if
some of the group names you're mentioning are just made up.
Honey d Jon, Yes, I prefer Buffalo Okay, Buffalo Wing.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Yeah, I'm getting hungry though. Now I don't even take
that one back. I didn't deserve that, Like that wasn't
even my best stuff. No, no, I was a throwaway.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
But I'm so out of touch with current music that
you could just get a random name generator and I
couldn't tell if it was a real band or not.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Here's one that might interest some people, especially listeners to
Later with Moe Kelly, Michael Shannon the actor is a
fabulous performer, fabulous and Michael Shannon and Jason Narduci are
going to be performing ore EM's Fables of the Reconstruction
at the Bell Weather, which is three thirty three South
Boylston Street, downtown LA. If you're familiar with the La
(10:23):
club scene, it's where Prince used to have his club,
Glam Slam back in the day. Cost us forty eight
dollars and of course, two time Oscar nominee Oscar nominee
Michael Shannon joins forces with musician Jason Nardussi and they're
going to play Ram's nineteen eighty five LP Fables of
the Reconstruction celebrating its fortieth anniversary. Comedian Dave Hill opens
(10:47):
the evening. That's something I would I think I might
be interested in, just because having nothing to do with
Valentine's Day weekend, the fact that that.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Record's forty years old makes me want to just take
my teeth out and soak them in a glass.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
I know, and you think it's only look, it's only
twel Yeah. The math is the math. And I remember
fondly we're talking about Denny's. I remember the early nineteen
nineties very fondly, and that's thirty plus years ago, and
it shouldn't be like that. The first time that happened
to me was listening to uh because you grew up
(11:20):
here so keart one on one is always catered to
the oldies. And one day I was driving and they
were playing No Doubt, and I'm like, that's an oldie?
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Are you kidding? And now, like you said, I'm like, oh, yeah,
that's about thirty years old.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Yeah, yeah, because when you start when I started listening
to oldies in the nineties, they were playing nineteen seventies music,
feel sixties, late sixties, and he's.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Like, godly, that was before I was born. I'm that's
old music. And now it's like, hey, that's from the
prime of our lives. What is going on? How can
it be forty years ago?
Speaker 4 (11:55):
When your music becomes oldies, it's time to start putting
your house in order. We saw ari Em and Seattle
when Michael Stipe still still had hair.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
That's how old we are.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Yeah, And you see them as all people age and
you realize that they don't look like they did on
the album cover or when they were at their peak,
and it's just oh, like I saw a picture of
Donald Fagan the other day and I realized, oh, that's
(12:27):
not the same Donald Fagan that I remember from forty
five years ago.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
What's he look like now? I haven't seen any current photos.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
He's a late seventies, he's had a lot of health issues,
and he looks like someone's.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Grandfather, like almost great grandfather.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Well, you know, and then you realize that's how we
look to other people.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
You speak for yourself.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Like the other example is when we were shopping as
a kid and be with my dad and they'd be
playing Santana. He was man, that was like on the
rock station when I was when I was a kid.
Now mall music, Yeah music, Yeah, and that happened to me.
But you recognize the song and you're singing along and
young people are like.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
What the hell?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
And now it's like you hear Lincoln Park and I'm
like in the ball in the grocery store.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Yes, yeah, Look.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I'm a huge Steely Dan fan, and when I see
my musical heroes mortal, it's kind of hard for me
to deal with. I'm thinking, like, they're looking the exact
same way they did in nineteen eighty five, and they don't,
and it reminds me I don't even look like what
I did in nineteen eighty five. It's like a sophomore
(13:41):
in high school. It's not fair, Mark Ronner, he was
already in college at that point.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Just be careful here. I look younger than both of you.
Yes you do, Yes you do, but you're not. So
that's all that matters.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Also, on Sunday the sixteenth, it's not necessarily Valentine weekend connected,
but it is something that you can do with your
significant other or spouse. There's the note that Benito versus
Drake and it's going to be at the Reserve, which
is six point fifty South Spring Street in downtown La
(14:15):
Cost is reasonable from fourteen dollars to thirty seven dollars
depending on the ticket and quote. This is for the
baddies and their friends who want to have a Sunday
fun day since there's no school or work for most folks.
Remember it's President's Day weekend and you may not have
to work that Monday. I do, Mark Ronerd does, Tuala does,
(14:36):
Stephan does. When you're working in radio, every holiday for
y'all is a work day for us. It's kind of
like your Valentine's Day. For fourteenth, Presence Day is just
a Monday day. It's Monday. I mean with all the holidays.
It could be King Holiday, it could be President's Day,
it could be Labor Day. It's a work day for
the most part. You know, I have to take an
(14:58):
actual vacation day to get Christmas off it. Actually, yeah,
I think we all have to because I think it's
the middle of the week this year right now. No,
I'm just well, I'm just saying in general, Yeah, we
don't get that just because it's Christmas we get the
day off.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
I have to take a day off.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Well, you mean December twenty fifth, yes, the day before
the twenty sixth.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Yes. Not everybody's that into it, you know. I'm calling
it with the day what it is. Okay.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
When I refer to Valentine's Day, I'm just referring to
it like it's the Gulf of America. Okay, I'm just
calling oh boy, I'm calling it what it is. Let's
avoid that quagmire freedom fries anyhow. The reserve, excuse me not,
Benito versus Drake is from fourteen dollars to thirty seven dollars,
(15:48):
And it seems like it'd be a good time if
you want to get out there and groove and shake
your booty, which with your significant other, and if it's
your music, then it is for you. And that's I
think the best art about I'll say if you're if
you do get married, make sure you have someone that
you have a lot of social interests with that you
(16:08):
don't mind spending time with them in a social setting.
For example, I I'm complicated in respect that I'm a
people person. I can walk into any room and it's
like I'm comfortable. You know, I can work the room,
talk to people. But I'm not the person who always
wants to be on. Since I'm on the air, I'm
(16:29):
on the air. But when I'm not on the air,
I don't want to be on. I don't want to
have to. I just want to just be able to
just not talk.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
You don't want to perform for people at the snap
of the fingers when you're in a social setting.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
No dog and pony show, Nope, nope. You want to
just be right.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
But my wife kind of understands that. So we have
like this sign language. We'll give each other the sign
when one is one of us is ready to exit
the premises. It could be an excuse, it could be whatever,
but we just have this unspoken.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Language where we can look at each other.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
It's like time to go to get baseball signals and
stuff like all the kind of pull a lover the ear,
rubby the eyebrow.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
And yes, all those kinds of things.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Because look after certain bar, she's not an all night
type of person. So the only time that she will
step late is usually for like New Year's Eve party
something like that, like we did we went to Catalita.
But other than that, if the party is going south
or she's going down as far as getting sleepy, she'll
give you the high sign kind of like a nod
her head to me saying time to go, and then
(17:34):
we'll give some lazy ass excuse like oh, we got
to go check on the dogs, and we're out of there,
out out of there, and it works for us. That's
the whole point that you'll find yourself enjoying these nights
out when you have the same type of appreciation for
going out. If one of you is really into the
(17:55):
big and over the top stuff and the other person isn't,
it's not going to work.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
It's just gonna cost you a lot of money in
the long run. But you cannot put a price tag
on the ability to use them as an excuse in
any situation.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Aren't they great for that? Seriously?
Speaker 2 (18:09):
I know, you know, I don't feel bad about it. Ever,
It's like, look, we've been going for like six hours.
I'm tapping my watch, Gotta check on Riley and Benson,
make sure they haven't like soiled the place, and they
never would. It's not even a concern. And they have
no idea that what you're using them for that they
don't care. Give them a treat.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
They're good.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Well, if anything, they're okay with it because we're back
home soon to say earlier.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
So it's not it's win win.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Yeah, it's not a lie per se. It's more like
a pink lie. It's not a white Lives. It's one
of those things where it's not completely untrue. It's just
not completely true, if you know what I mean. Oh yeah,
it's Later with mo Kelly. This goes back to my
Dinny days. I'm kind of like splitting my morality here.
(18:55):
You know, it's not really stealing if I pay it
back in twenty five years, thirty years, it's not really stealing.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Nice trying.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on Demand from
KFI AM six.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Forty KFI mo Kelly Live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app
and every once in a while we'll come across the
story which is just perfect.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
For this show, just absolutely perfect.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
It mixes politics with movie theaters and the entertainment experience.
This is something you may hear about in the coming weeks.
There is a bill which has been proposed by Connecticut
State Senator Martin Looney, which could, as it's being described,
revolutionize how movie theaters operate by requiring them to list
(19:49):
both the pre show and actual features start time separately.
For example, all the Fellows were going out to see
Captain America Braveview World tonight. It starts at let's say
two in the morning. It's going to feel like two
in the morning for me. That's the listed start time.
The actual movie won't start to about two thirty, which
(20:13):
means there's a good half hour of trailers, two minutes
of Nicole Kidman, maybe an AMC promo, there's probably an
M and m's commercial, you know, all the stuff that
we're accustomed to seeing prior to the actual movie. But
the listed start time will be two a m. The
(20:34):
actual movie won't start until two thirty am. And this
bill is set to address something just like that. If
you didn't know, major chains like AMC already provide general
guidance about pre show lenk.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
They'll let you know, but you have to dig for
the information.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
But this bill would mandate it, at least in the
state of Connecticut. This bill would mandate specific time disclosures
for all theaters, and it would it probably would disrupt
how we would go to the movies because we would
go better understanding. Now, if you go to the movies
a lot, you already know that the time listed on
the ticket, or you know, the supposed start time of
(21:18):
the movies, not the start time of the movie. We
know that, but it has increasingly changed over the years
where the time between the listed time and the actual
start time has gotten larger and larger and larger.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
It used to be about fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Now you can bet with a major movie release like tonight,
when we see Captain America Bravery World, it will be
at least thirty minutes at the minimum thirty minutes.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
I'm talking about maybe five trailers, three commercials to Nicole Kidman's.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Who See That is to life, to cry, to care,
because we need to care all of us English and
we go to Nicole Kidman's and a Partridge and a
pear tree.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
There's a lot going on before the movie.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
And if you're trying to schedule with friends, like hey,
we're gonna meet at the I don't know, the regal
cinemas in a Landra, Alhambra, whatever, and the movie starts
at six pm. Six pm doesn't mean six pm. It
usually bes the movies gonna start around six thirty. And
I know some people, me included, especially if I know
(22:36):
if there's not gonna be a fight for parking or
it's probably an empty theater, I will just tack on
thirty minutes. I just know, Okay, the ticket says six pm,
I will show my ass up at six fifteen. And
by the time I get my food whatever, because I
always got to get food when I go to the theater.
I can sit down around six thirty. Because I don't
(22:56):
need to see the trailers, especially in a YouTube world.
I can find any trailer that is in a movie house. Okay,
there's nothing. Look, there's probably gonna be a Thunderbolts trailer
when we go see the movie tonight, next Marvel movie.
I can find that, right now on YouTube. They're not
gonna show me anything special. And that's kind of a
sad part about it, because I remember that being part
(23:18):
of the experience as a kid, like, oh, it's going
to be the new movie because you couldn't YouTube it,
you know, back in the nineties, eighties whatever.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
So you know, it just sucks.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
You're like, well, I can see them later, So yeah,
like you said, you can get your snacks and everything
plan thirty minutes. This legislation was introduced back on January
twenty first, and I don't know where it's going to go,
but it does probably suggest that other.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
State level politicians will follow.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Suit, if only because it makes sense realistically, it's logical,
and it's something that we've all talked about at some point.
I don't know if anyone who goes to the movies
and has not complained about how much pre filler is there,
and it's gotten longer and longer and longer. And I
also think that it has added to the number of
(24:08):
reasons why we would rather stay home. It's one less
look because going to the movies now is a commitment.
It's it's a time commitment. If you know the movie,
like Martin Scorsese. Okay, the Flower Moon whatevers is three
hours and thirty five minutes long the movie, and we
know that there's another thirty minutes on top of that
(24:29):
pre show.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Well, you know what, I'm just not going to go
because that's.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
A four hour commitment, saying nothing of driving two and
driving from the theater.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
What's funny is they have gotten longer, and you can
tell when the audience starts to turn now because groaning.
We used to be excited to see the trailers, and
now after more than two or three of them, you
get into the trailers and commercials. It galls people to
pay money to go see a movie in person and
still be subjected to commercials. So yeah, they do star
(25:00):
groaning after a certain point.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
That's a great point because there are more commercials which
I don't consider to be content. You have the commercial
for the for the Doobe Sound, which is a straight
up commercial. You have the commercial for the please Stop
Talking and texting. It's necessary, but it's still a commercial.
You have the commercial obviously for the Nicole Kidman. You
(25:21):
have the commercial for the local theaters, like, hey, if
you want to rint this theater nine nine nine four
four two seven or something. You know, there's always something
which has nothing to do with the actual movie.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
The thing is, I've kind of got mixed feelings about
this legislation because my knee jerk impulse is, yeah, give
it to the man. I want to know when the
movie starts and I want all that information. On the
other hand, with theaters teetering on the brink of extinction,
I'm willing to endure a little bit more that I
don't care for, just because I'd like them to stay
around longer.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
And I'm with.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
You, and part of the way that they can make
money is to have commercials, So I am sympathetic, but
I don't necessarily need to see the commercials. You could
put them in and you can charge your ad rates whatever.
But if you really knew the financials behind running the theater,
it can be very expensive for a largely empty place.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Oh, they rely on you buying your little commie McNuggets
to make the rent. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Yeah, the tickets don't keep the theaters aplow session. It's
the concessions.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Yeah, absolutely, it's later with mo Kelly, and yes, we
will have a combined I think it's gonna be a
combined 'run a report tomorrow on Captain America bravenew World.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Right, that's fair to.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Say, run a report plus NERD Roundtable. Yeah, pretty much? Oh,
pretty much sounds good.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
It's Later with mo Kelly CAFI AM six forty. We
are live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
I'm not ashamed to admit a Small World ride is
one of my favorite rides at Disneyland, but not for
the reasons most people probably think. I can say that
some of my best memories were on Small World, especially
grad Night nineteen eighty seven.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Graduated from South Torron's High School.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
I don't know if they still have grad Night at Disneyland,
but they did when I was in high school, and
back in nineteen eighty seven, there weren't a lot of
high schools which went to Disneyland. The park was closed
down and you'd have maybe, I don't know, thirty to
forty high schools, which meant the park was relatively empty
(27:31):
and we all were of the same mindset. We're all
seventeen or eighteen, we just graduated from high school, and
the place to.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Be was on Small World.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Small World back in the nineteen eighties was different from
the Small World now. Back in the nineteen eighties, and
I know Touala can testify to this mark. I don't
know if you knew this or had gone to Disneyland
at that point.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
Well, I prefer to get it on in the matterhorn
small World sounds a little bit too insulting.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
No, it's okay, only if you're not too safety for that.
Thank you for that.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Small World used to be very dark.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
The lights were really down lovel Now there were cameras,
but hey, we didn't care about putting on a show.
But at least as far as the ambiance was concerned.
It was a slow ride. It was a dark ride.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
And it was a long ride.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
You had enough time to get it in, You had
enough time to do some.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Stuff on Small World.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Was it kind of disconcerting or unnerving to hear that
Small World song in the background. Yeah, was a little
bit unsettling to see the little Small World kind of
childlike animatronics going back and forth and gyrating while you
were trying to get it on.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
A Small World.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Yeah, sure, I can see it all that, But I
was seventeen years old, and I had a girlfriend at
the time, and it was postgraduation.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
It was on and cracking.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
You're trying to tell me you never got the full
Bobert in the Hall of Presidents.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Not the Hall of Presidents. I'm just saying, Small World
has been better.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Betty good to me. I don't care. I have lived.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
The whole point of me telling this story is because
Disneyland is adding a new verse to it. It's a
Small World ride for the park's seventieth anniversary. Now they're
going to be changes all around Disneyland from Main Street,
USA on down. But it's a Small World. There's going
(29:37):
to be another verse. And the way that you can
interpret this is the ride is going to be longer.
There will be more time for debauchery, the happiest place
on Earth. I can say this. I'm not proud of it.
Actually I am proud of it. I can say this.
I wasn't the only one trying to get it in
(29:58):
on Small World. I'm saying, get it in. Man, What
am I supposed to say? What is the euphemisiness you
would prefer? I can't say any of it.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
That's my point. That's why.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
That is why the other rides back in the nineteen
eighties which were great for it. The aforementioned and frequently
mentioned sky gondola which took you, i think from Tomorrow
Land to Fantasyland across the park. That was about maybe
a seven or eight minute ride. Is that where you
threw the mustard? Correct?
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Now?
Speaker 2 (30:32):
The problem with that is too much movement in the
cabin made it difficult. Difficult. I'll just leave it at that.
The logistics of it were not conducive to the best experience,
but the seven or eight minute thing wasn't a problem
(30:52):
at that age. At that age, you were just happy
for any time you had alone, right. The Halloween Hunted
Man that was a good one. That was a good
one because you were on the those big chairs and everything.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Yeah, that's almost I almost argue.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
I mean, it's it's a shorter ride, but that's almost
better because you're you're you're kind of like in a yes.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Yes, And it was much darker back in the day
as well. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Space Mountain no, no, uh, the matter Horn no, Mark said,
the matter Horn No, wasn't good. Splash Mountain Nope.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
No.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Pirates of the Caribbean. There are some points in it
where you can do some stuff. But that the only
problem with that is you share a whole bench with
a bunch of other people. But grad night they were
there were all the time, right, you'd have your whole
I don't know, boat to yourself, that's true. Yeah, so yeah,
or the other kids trying to write and we were
all of the same mind. Just don't look over here.
(31:50):
You stay your eyes over there. I won't look at y'all.
You don't look at us awkward, not at the time.
They're just but Mark, you remember when you were seventeen eighteen,
he just did stuff that was not probably smart or
well advised.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
I was a little shy, but I had friends who
fit that description. You've never tried to. I just that's
all I'm gonna say. You never tried to even don't
don't did it ever cross your mind?
Speaker 3 (32:15):
Negative? Don't. I love making you so uncomfortable. He cannot
stand it.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
So if you are a Disney veteran like me, and
hopefully they've turned the lights back down, because they the
last time I went, they really turned the lights up.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
It doesn't have the same bomb beyond yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Either that or they added more lights because it the
last time I went, it was definitely brighter. Yeah, it's
almost like wait a minute, I'm like walking into my room.
It's not quite the same, you know, I was waiting
for like it used to be where they were almost like, uh,
you'd have Teddy Pendergrass playing in the background. It's like
get you in the mood. Small World was the place
to be, and it was one other the teacup Ride.
(32:57):
Come on, no.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
No, no, no, no, no, no no, wasn't a teacup ride.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Oh Tom Sawyer Island, Yes, Tom Sawyer Island, the Ferrier,
the actual No, the actual island. Because they had these
like tunnels and alcos and places where you could go
on the.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
Island to get some alone time.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
I can't believe I'm the only one who saw Disneyland
as the opportunity to really be the happiest place on
earth with happy endings. You beat me to it, That's
