Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI A six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Let's go beyond the box score with Jackie Ray, and
let's talk about how President Donald Trump, going over to
last week, has inserted himself into the world of sports
once again. He has said publicly quote over the next
few weeks, I will be signing a complete pardon of
Pete Rose, who shouldn't have been gambling on baseball, but
only bet on his team winning. He never betted against
(00:29):
himself or the other team. He had the most hits
by far in baseball history and won more games than
anyone in sports history. Close quote. First, good evening, Jackie Ray. Second,
I worked in sports media for a few years while
this was happening, when Pete Rose specifically was banned from baseball.
(00:51):
Before we go forward, I have to say, once again
we are ahead of the curve talking about the President
inserting himself into sports. We can't then turn around and say, hey, athletes,
don't say anything political. What say you?
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Well, first of all, I want to say to young
people who are in school, this is what happens when
you don't do the reading. You get everything completely wrong.
Because if you were confused. If you're like Moe and
you knew about this when it was happening, this statement
was very confusing at first because you probably had to
google and say, was he convicted? Did he go to
prison for gambling? He did not go to prison for gambling.
(01:28):
He went to prison for tax evasion. And it was
only a few months at that, but it was well
after his career. So when you're pardoning Pete Rose, you're
not partying him for gambling. You're giving him a pardon
for tax evasion. It's not the same thing. So there's
a disconnect there for me.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
First of all, obviously President Trump is angling for Pete
Rose to be included in the Hall of Fame. Let
me bring everyone up to speed on some of the facts.
Major League Baseball and the National Baseball Hall of Fame
and Museum are separate entities. The latter is is operated
by a private foundation. As far as Major League Baseball goes,
(02:04):
Rule twenty one is what determined Pete Rose's fate, and
it reads as follows. Quote any player, umpire, or club,
or league official or employee who shall bet any sum
whatsoever upon any baseball game in connection with which the
better has no duty to perform, shall be declared ineligible
for one year. Part two. Any player, umpire, club, or
league official employee who shall bet any sum whatsoever on
(02:27):
any baseball game in connection with which the better has
a duty to perform, like Pete Rose was a manager,
shall be declared permanently ineligible. Permanently is not for life.
Permanently is to the end of time. Now the National
Baseball Hall of Fame in museum has this latitude. If
Major League Baseball removed Rose from the permanently ineligible list,
(02:50):
it in no way binds the Hall of Fame to
also admit him. Let me recap very quickly, and I'll
bring you back in, Jackie Ray. If you bet at all,
it does not matter if you bet on your team,
you bet on someone else's team. If you bet your
team to win your team to lose, you are permanently ineligible.
Let me also break it down. Just because you bet
on your team to win does not mean that you're
(03:11):
not doing a game of disservice. For example, let's say,
if I bet a sum of money on this game tonight,
and I'm the manager, I may use a picture that
I didn't plan to use, and I may use him tonight,
that means he's not to be used tomorrow because of
any max I am impacting the game in a way
which has to do with betting, not the good of
(03:31):
the team, using a pinchhit or something. So there's no
distinction made as to whether you are betting on your
team or against your team.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
It is illegal, and it's illegal for good reason.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Because now, if you were to pardon this, if this
is the goal to pardon this situation, there sets a precedent.
And we've been talking about this for a long time.
This rabbit hole goes very deep as far as gambling.
And if you set a precedent that says to people, oh, yeah,
this is just going to be bad for me now,
but it's not going to damage my legacy, because that's
one of the reasons that should to prevent players from
(04:01):
wanting to gamble, because it's going to damage your legacy.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
But if it's just a slap.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
On the wrist, and then later you can get a
president to say, oh, you know, gambling is not that
bad as long as your ga I'm always gonna bet
on myself in life, you know. So that's kind of
a ridiculous statement to me. And he's setting a precedent
that I don't think anybody should pay attention to because
what do we talk about all the time the integrity
of the sport. And if you want sports to have integrity,
(04:26):
if you want the fans that watch the game to
think that there is a level of integrity in the game,
then you have to uphold these things, even if the
President of the United States does not.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
There's a distinction there, And I want to highlight the
integrity of the game, which is different from integrity of
the person. Oftentimes I hear this argument, well, Ty Cobb
was a racist, so this person was an a hole,
and this person had sex out side of marriage. It's
not the integrity the person. You're talking about the integrity
of the game, the sport itself, and betting anyone who
(04:57):
plays baseball, professional baseball knows, rule to one it is
sacro saint. It is inarguable. There are no mitigating circumstances.
That's why shoeless Joe Jackson is not in the Hall
of Fame, and he still ain't in. When they say
permanently ineligible, they mean permanently ineligible. Now, I don't know
how much of a baseball fan President Trump is I
(05:19):
get the sense that he doesn't know much about baseball,
just being honest, because no one is disputing whether Pete
Rose has the player resume to be in the Hall
of Fame. It's the all time hits leader and manager
Charlie Hustle. I know his history, chapter and verse, but
rule twenty one until it changes, and I read that
a baseball commissioner is considering reviewing it until something happens.
(05:45):
He should not ever sniff the Hall of Fame because
the rules are presently as they.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Are, and I think the commissioner should not consider this.
And the reason why I say that is because when
we're talking about fans again, we have these rumors circling
every single season about every single sport that something is rigged.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
And the only way that you can give the.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Illusion that that is not true is if you prevent
gambling by the players who play the game.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
And so again, you don't want to set that precedence.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
And to your point, I don't think President Trump knows
anything about many sports because of the way that he
talks about it, not that he has to. You're the
president of the United States. You're supposed to be supposed
to be good at that. You're not supposed to be
good at knowing what's going on in sports. But if
you want the fans to have faith, even the President
of the United States saying this should be reconsidered, should
(06:37):
have no precedents and how you move as a league.
So I really hope that this is something that they
just completely throw out the window.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
And there are a lot of folks who are Johnny
cum Lately's who really don't even know the history of this.
If they want to relitigate it. Pete Rose agreed with
Major League Baseball on a permanent ban in nineteen eighty nine.
He said, yes, okay, I'll sign here, and he also
admitted to betting on baseball and betting on his own
team in his memoir he did by himself.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
And a man that does this, let's be clear, a
man that is going to bet on the sport that
he plays suddenly telling you, yeah, but I only bet
on myself. If you take that verbatim, then that's a
you problem. You can't trust anything at that point. This man,
his integrity has been questioned and he has admitted to that.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
So you can't.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Even though the president is saying he only bet on himself.
You're just taking his word for it, and there's no
proof of that. So this band has to stay indefinitely,
in my opinion, for.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
The sake of the sport itself. Now, if you want
to get into the politics of it all and the
optics of it all, yes, Rose is a celebrated American figure,
and there are those who want to disregard his personal
shortcomings which I haven't even gotten into, as well as
his gambling shortcomings. And if you're a fan of the
sport of baseball and you're knowledgeable about the rules, pass
(08:00):
go do not advance to boardwalk when it comes to
rule twenty one until that rule changes, heat Rose is
permanently ineligible, which is not the same as for life.
It means forever, forever, ever, forever, ever, forever ever. And
once again, here we are. We're back with sports, gambling
and also politics. It just seems like they lay this
(08:21):
stuff out here for.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Us because politics affect people, and who plays sports.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Say that again, Say that again.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Affect people, and people play sports.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
That's why eventually they're gonna start listening to us, Jackie Ray,
They're going to start listening to us. And when we
come back let's stay right here with baseball. Did you
know that baseball is right now testing technology that could
render umpires obsolete. They are testing automated ball strike systems
to be used at least right now in the minor leagues,
(08:54):
and it might be in the major league. So we
talk about that. Will we come back. It's Later with
Mo Kelly. I'm joined by Jackie Ray as we go
beyond the box Score. We are live everywhere the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI A six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
It's Later with Mo Kelly, and we're still going beyond
the box Score with Jackie Ray and still live everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app. Well, you can't say that robot
umpires are here in major league baseball as we continue
to talk about baseball, but a version of an automated
strike zone is being tested right now during spring training,
(09:30):
and the ABS Challenge System as it's called, is being implemented.
The system will be in place at thirteen stadiums and
in more than sixty percent of spring training games across
Arizona and Florida. Let's get to the real issue here.
Baseball has been very slow to change, and part of
that slowness is due to the fact that baseball likes
to pride itself on tradition and history from its stats,
(09:53):
and now the game is played where it's pretty much
the same today as it was seventy eighty years ago.
But with the advent of technicology, they've been really really slow.
Basketball was quicker to adopt replay. You had tennis and
soccer and hockey adopting more complicated, more sophisticated technology. As
far as determination of line violations and goals, Baseball has
(10:17):
always hung on to the idea of there's acceptable human error.
I've never agreed with that. I would rather have the
call correct. Where do you come out on this.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
I'm somewhere in the middle. I understand this that the
instant replay has been a huge deal.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Obviously, you need that.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
We've seen several calls, no matter if you're a football
fan or a basketball fan, we've seen you had to
reverse calls. It was I think it was Joel somebody
just got to ejected from a basketball game and they
had to go look at the replay, like, nope, just
bring it Joel and b Yeah, bring them back. So
these kinds of things really help the integrity of the
sport and then lets you get it right.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
On the flip side.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
My coach used to always tell me, if it comes
down to the call of a ref, you already lost
that game anyway. So it really doesn't make that much
of an impact. But we've seen this, especially in the NFL. Yes,
it does because if that game is closed, it can
come down to it. So I understand both sides of it.
I think that this is great that the baseball is
trying to take a leap because, like you said, they've
(11:12):
been really big on tradition, but traditionally we like to
make our lives easier and we like to respect the
integrity of the sport and know that it's right.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
I do believe that's a little.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Bit of human error is fine, but coming down to
affecting a lot of plays when their answer is right
there is completely unnecessary.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
So I think this is a good move. Let's talk
about specifics.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
During spring training, teams will get two challenges per game
and will only lose a challenge if it is unsuccessful.
Only a batter, pitcher, or catcher can challenge a call,
not the manager, which they will indicate by tapping their head.
They have to do so immediately after the pitch, without
assistance from the manager or players in the dugout. This
is called hawkeye tracking technology. It will be then used
(11:54):
to display on the video board showing whether the pitch
was a strike or not. On average, the challenge at
the Triple A level, which is one level below Major
League level, has taken seventeen seconds to complete. But this
is almost counterintuitive because they tried to speed up the
game right with the pitch clock. I understand why they're testing,
but it's just gonna show up umps. Why don't we
(12:15):
just get to the end. This is where all this
is headed. Why don't you just bring in the technology.
Professional hockey, the officials don't determine it. It's done electronically.
Same with soccer as well. Professional soccer, and we know
the lines in tennis, Yeah they have a judge up,
but it's technology that gets to determine it. I don't
know why it's taking so long. Let's hurry up. You're
(12:35):
only talking about let's say, I don't know, one hundred umpires.
Just bringing the technology and move on.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
I agree with that, just speed up the process. I
get the wondering if it's going to slow down the game,
but let's speed this up, because that's what we've seen
work across other leagues.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
We've talked about it, and then we've tried it.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
We haven't talked about it and then tested it out
in the G League or what we've talked about it,
and then we've done it. And then when you do it,
because here's in my opinion, there's a level of well,
we're just trying it out. So the urgency to get
this right and get it to perform at a high
level quickly just isn't there. So no, just get it done.
Let's just move it right into the majors right now.
(13:14):
Let's just get it done. That's one thing I do
like about the NFL. It's much more nimble of a
professional league.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
In other words, we're going to change the kickoff rule,
We're going to change overtime rule. They make it happen
and keep moving and then they'll treak it as they go.
Baseball not so much part of it. I do understand.
They're probably gradually bringing along their fandom to understand it
and receive it. In the ways that they've disallowed the
shift in the outfield in the way that they've made
(13:42):
change as far as how many pitching changes you can
make in a given any how they change extra innings
starting a runner on second base. Baseball has done better.
But this is the biggest change, which I think would
be great for everyone. Just get the right call. I
don't need someone behind the plate using their human judgment
to do it. Just get the right call off as
(14:02):
the striker or not. I can go into all the
zone percentages and how be determined. That's neither here nor there.
Just make it happy. We have the technology right.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
And you know, I appreciate respecting and honoring the fan
base and moving things slowly, but I can tell you
right now the fan base is used to things moving quickly.
Nobody in that fan base probably has the very first
iPhone because technology just moves that fast. So we are
in a society now where we're trained to move with
the times. So all you have to do is move
with the times and say, hey, we're moving into the.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Twenty first century. That's all you have to say.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
People are going to go with it because they're trained
to it, and if they're not, trust me, they will
come around. Because at some point a robot is going
to deliver food to them, and they're going to think
the robot is cute. They're not going to say to themselves,
I wish a human had brought mind. They're not going
to say that.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
No, that's not the time that we live in.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Capitalize that everybody is kind of technologically sound and we're
moving forward, and how can we make our lives easier.
That's how we're all mentally that we all have that
in common. We all understand that life is going to
get very interesting with the advent of AI and things
like that.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
We all understand that.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
So don't think that people are going to be slow
to understand what's happening in their day to day lives.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Anyway, that's not going to happen.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Jackie Ray is good to see you. We'll talk soon,
Talk too soon.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
The Oscars have come and gone. I was not really
impressed with much of that show. I didn't have a
dog in the fight. It wasn't rooting for any particular movie.
I said before the show that since a lot of
the movies lacked the type of star power that you
would customarily expect with an Oscar's awards. Show didn't have
(15:42):
much impact on me. I think the biggest story was
maybe to me more and whether she would win an Oscar.
She was the front runner for Best Actress as far
as what we could gather going into the Oscar. She
had won most of the awards leading up to that point,
the Indicator Awards. People I think were waiting or expecting
her to win. She did not. That's a storyline, but
(16:05):
it didn't make the show any better one way or
the other. And Conan O'Brien, I thought, was going to
be a bit edgier in his monologue, with the exception
of the Drake joke, which we'll play at some point.
I was very underwhelmed. I've seen him do far better work.
So we'll play just a little bit of it and
(16:26):
come to your own conclusion.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
Hello, I'm your host, Conan O'Brien.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Yeah, way minute, did he say Conan?
Speaker 6 (16:33):
Does you call himself Connon O'Brien.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
Hello, I'm your host, Conan O'Brien.
Speaker 7 (16:38):
Yeah, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
I know what you're thinking. Did Conan not have work done? Seriously?
He looks his age.
Speaker 8 (16:53):
I should have done something. I am excited to be here.
Welcome to the ninety.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Seventh Academy Awards.
Speaker 8 (17:00):
One's biggest night that starts at four in the afternoon.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
Everyone here just had brunch.
Speaker 8 (17:07):
I don't understand it, but it's the Oscars, and I say,
let's do this thing.
Speaker 5 (17:12):
You're ready to go?
Speaker 7 (17:13):
I am.
Speaker 8 (17:18):
I'm walking to show I have control of the stage.
A complete unknown, a real a real pain, no statu
These are just some of the names I was called
on the red carpet. I think two are fair. We're
(17:47):
here to celebrate the movie industry. What a year for
the movie industry. Netflix leads all studios with an impressive
eighteen count of eighteen price increases.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Yes, and I think they can.
Speaker 8 (18:01):
Beat that next year.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
What about those ladies Arianna and Cynthia? Weren't they?
Speaker 2 (18:11):
They were crudile.
Speaker 8 (18:15):
Wicked is nominated tonight in ten categories.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 8 (18:23):
It's the perfect movie for anyone who's ever finished watching
The Wizard of Oz and thought, sure, but where did
all the minor characters go to college?
Speaker 2 (18:34):
That's the story.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
I love the Brutalist, I really did. I love the Brutalist.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 8 (18:45):
Brutalists also received ten nominations.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (18:48):
No, I love the Brutalist, I really did. I didn't
want it to end, and luckily it didn't. Conclave Mcatholic
boy love Conclave. Yeah yeah, Ruby. Conclave is nominated for
Best Picture tonight. If you haven't seen Conclave, its log
(19:08):
line is a movie about the Catholic Church. But don't worry,
I kind of left you. Gotta hold on and just wait. Yeah,
and then it comes rolling back at you.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
Ray Finds is excellent in Conclave. Yeah, you are excellent.
True fact.
Speaker 8 (19:36):
This is actually Ray Finds third time being nominated. Yeah,
if he doesn't, if he doesn't win tonight, we all
get to call him Ralph.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Hey, Ralph, give me a towel. Ha ha, Okay, this
is not real, superman Zelop.
Speaker 8 (19:52):
He's laughing or not, it doesn't matter, not getting paid
a lot.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
Hey, you know what. I loved the Nora. I really did. Yeah,
I loved it. Yeah, yeah, whose story? A little fact
for you.
Speaker 8 (20:09):
Nora uses the F word four hundred and seventy nine times.
That's three more than the record set by Carlo Sofia,
Gascon's publicist.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
You treated what It's a little too inside baseball? Wasn't
that funny?
Speaker 8 (20:40):
I'm having fun Carlos, Carlos, Sophia Gascon is here tonight,
and yeah, yeah, yeah, and Carla, if you are gonna
tweet about the Oscars, remember my name is Jimmy Kimmel.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Okay, all right, it was all right. I expected it
to be just a little more edgy, a little bit funny.
Speaker 9 (21:09):
He had a line later on that kind of semi
brought the house down about why people liked Anora so much,
and the reason is because they were happy to see
somebody stand up to a powerful rush that got a
huge response.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Yeah, but for almost like an eighteen minute monologue.
Speaker 9 (21:24):
I need a few more hits than misses. I wanted
more of him, and I wanted more of his shtick
from his old show. And the closest he came was
the sand worm playing the piano or what was the
sandworm playing.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
To harp and piano? Okay, right, yeah, the two incidents,
two instruments.
Speaker 9 (21:40):
I love the bizarre, random stuff from his old show,
and I was hoping the old offensive ghost crooner would
come out, but big disappointments on that front.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
I like the sand worm bit. Yeah, I don't attribute
that to Conan O'Brien. I have attribute that to the producers.
You know they put that in there. I don't know
if he put that in there.
Speaker 9 (21:58):
But he's renowned for just a silly, offbeat, random, abstract,
absurd sense of humor. I mean, I knew we weren't
going to see the FedEx Pope in his bathrobe, but
that was some vintage Conan. I thought, you yeah, And
actually I liked how they started.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
I obviously couldn't play when he's basically crawling out. It
to me more at the very beginning as an ode
to substance. I like that physical comedy, but as far
as what the monologue had, it didn't quite meet the
mark for him. But there were some moments when he
throws in a Drake joke and the whole audience gets it.
It reminds you of how the Kendrick Lamar Drake beef
(22:36):
is now so very mainstream that a completely white audience,
let's be honest, who's not connected to hip hop music,
immediately gets the joke.
Speaker 8 (22:46):
Well, we're halfway through the show, which means it's time
for Kendrick Lamar to come out and call Drake a pedophile.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Don't worry, I'm lawyer. Anyway.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
That's good stuff. That is really good stuff. And if
you know the history, Kendrick Lamar his song not Like Us.
He calls Drake a pedophile in it, a specific lyric
that he also performed during the Super Bowl. Prior to
the Super Bowl, Drake's people tried to sue and in fact,
it was a settlement I can't even talk about on
air because it has to do with a parent company
(23:23):
that we work for. There was a settlement. You can
look it up, Mark, so you know what I'm talking about.
There's a settlement regarding that song and how often it
was played and why I was played, and for Conan
O'Brien to hit all of those stories in that joke,
I thought it was really witty. I hope THEYD invite
Conan back.
Speaker 9 (23:42):
I like Kimmel as well, but I hope they invite
Conan back, and I hope he cuts loose even more
the next time.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
And maybe that's part of it. You know, you're going
to be a little bit more conservative your first time
out if you want to do it more than once.
I personally was not tired of Jimmy Kimmel. I thought
they just needed a fresher voice and face to give
it a just a different feel to the show, and
they were successful in that regard.
Speaker 9 (24:06):
I mean, you're never going to have anybody as cool
as Johnny Carson doing it.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
No, no, look, I would have even settled for a
Billy Crystal esque type person who really knew how to
work the room in that regard. But you know, Connor
was fine. It's fine. I just I was. Maybe my
expectations were higher than they should have been.
Speaker 9 (24:25):
Maybe I thought the Awards show itself was a snoozer
because it's the weakest group of nominees yep, that I
remember in my entire life.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
And not only that, the things that I was tuning
in for, like the tribute to Quincy Jones, I thought
was just really poor, not well thought out, not well executed,
and it seemed like an afterthought. The n memoriam segment
left out too many people. The things that I was
tuning in for left me wanting more.
Speaker 9 (24:53):
Was disappointing. Yeah, if you're going to do the in
memoriam segment. They get complaints about this every single year,
and it doesn't take a genius to get this right.
I mean, like you always say, get the easy ones right.
This is one of the easy ones.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Amen to that.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty CAFI.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Mister bo Kelly, We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
And I didn't choose the title of this is just
the title, okay, I'm just reading what was put in
front of me. Blame Stephen Mark or Tawala. Not my fault.
Here's your horoscope for each sodiac sign on March fourth.
As of tomorrow, the moon aligns with Uranus. Does it now?
Speaker 9 (25:38):
So?
Speaker 2 (25:38):
I'm told aries, this is a full system test, reset
and invitation to burn away outdated beliefs about money, worth
and security. The cosmos is tripping you to the essentials,
forcing you to release financial habits and value systems that
no longer serve you. If you've been clinging to scarcity
thinking or measuring your worth by external validation, well this
(26:00):
is your moment to break free. Something within you is shifting,
urging you to redefine true abundance that lines up with
Uranus taurus. You may feel a sudden, almost electric sense
of awakening, a realization that the person you've been is
no longer the person you are becoming. It's not just
about minor changes or small shifts in perspective. It's a
(26:21):
full scale rebirth, a redefinition, if you will, of your desires, ambitions,
and the very essence of who you are. This process
may feel exhilarating one moment and disorienting the next as
old versions of yourself fall away.
Speaker 7 (26:36):
Forget Saturn, It's all about uranus.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Just keep going back to that well. Trust that the
universe guides you toward a more honest, unapologetic expression of
your true self. Jim and I, Stephan, are you ready
for uranus? That's a yes, no question turning you right.
Oh it's a cancer then oh us, you're a cancer.
I'm sorry, So that's oh, this is us, This is
(27:01):
mark uranus. It gets funny or every time, Jim and I,
your body is speaking, but are you listening. The smallest triggers,
a conversation, a movement, assent can send shock waves through
your nervous system on earthing what has long been buried.
This isn't just about the mind. This is about the
body as a map revealing the places where pain, memory,
(27:22):
and healing intertwined. You might feel overwhelmed by emotions seemingly
coming out of nowhere. I'm where are they coming out of?
But nothing is random about this process. I saw that
curve and I said, let me just stop cancer. Here
we go, we go. The muse is knocking, but it's
(27:44):
not here for perfection, but for raw, uncontainable expression. Inspiration
is surging, but it will slip through your fingers if
you try to control it. What wants to be created
through you right now is untamed, messy, and alive. Whether
through art, writing, movement, or some other channel. You are
being called to open the creative floodgates without worrying about
structure or outcome. If you over polish and try to
(28:06):
make it digestible for others, you might miss the very
essence of what makes it powerful. Trust in the beauty
of imperfection. Look to the stars. You'll see your anus
Leo home miscalling, but not in the way you expect.
The past may be knocking, asking you to reconsider where
(28:27):
you belong and what truly anchors you. Is home a place,
a person, or a feeling or is it something deeper,
something you've yet to define. You might feel nostalgic, drawn
to familiar comforts, or even unsettled by the realization that
what once felt like home no longer does. The ground
beneath your feet is shifting, and soon you'll have no
choice but to answer Virgo. There are forces shaping your
(28:51):
path that you have yet to fully acknowledge. The pressures,
the distractions, and the quiet expectations have been molding your
decisions without you Eva and realizing it. Who are you
When you strip away external influence? The universe urges you
to examine where your choices are truly yours and where
they have been subtly shaped by societal expectations, family, or fear.
(29:14):
So it's time to cut through the noise to recognize
what is authentically yours and what has been imposed upon
you or youranus what nothing tough, crowd libra. People don't
fit into neat little boxes, and the universe is making
sure you don't. Making sure you understand that right now.
(29:36):
If you've been trying to mold others to your liking,
prepare for resistance. I don't leave that alone. You are
being asked to shift your perspective, to read what, to
release rigid expectations, and to meet people as they are,
not as you wish them to be. There is beauty
in the messiness of human nature in the contradictions, the unpredictability,
(29:58):
and the imperfections. I think you know how you play
that game with a fortune cookie and whatever the fortune
cookie says, you put in bed on the end of it. Yeah,
this seems like one of those times we need to
put your anus on the end of every sentence or not.
I agree. There's beauty in the messiness of human nature,
(30:19):
in the contradictions, the predictability, and the imperfections.
Speaker 6 (30:23):
As comets shoot pass your anus.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
The more you release your grip, the more you'll see
people for who they truly are. Complex, contradictory and beautifully human. Scorpio.
Here you go to walallet Oh. Desire doesn't thrive in control.
It thrives and surrender. If you've been trying to orchestrate, analyze,
or contain your emotions, the cosmost reminds you that real
(30:47):
intimacy requires trust. You cannot intellectualize your way through passion,
nor can you script every moment of connection. There is
an invitation now to let go, to step into the
unknown with open arms and a fearless art, whether in love, creativity,
or personal transformation. The more you release your grip, the
more magnetic you become I.
Speaker 7 (31:07):
Don't know how that milky way lines up with your ainus. Sagittarius,
stop it, Mark, you're killing me tonight. Your life is
art and every moment is a brushstroke. The cosmos asked
(31:28):
you to slow down.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Yeah, romanticize the smallest details, and let beauty catch you
off guard. When was the last time you truly savored
something fully, without distraction? There is an urgency to embrace
the present, to let joy and wonder permeate your daily existence.
This isn't about escapism, It's about presence. The more you savor,
the more you see. Let the world become poetry. Let
(31:52):
the mundane becomes sacred and watches your reality transforms.
Speaker 6 (31:56):
Capricorn, oait wait wait, wait for Sagittary.
Speaker 7 (32:00):
You're a sash bo yes, Sam, and you don't have
a telescope?
Speaker 6 (32:04):
Have you ever used it to look at your anus?
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Capricorn? A little chaos is good for you. The universe
is inviting you to step off the beaten path and
trade rigid plans for some unpredictability. You may resist at first,
after all, structure is your sanctuary, but something within you
craves a shakeup, a fresh approach, a radical, new way
of being. The structures you cling to may not be
as stable as you think, and that's not bad. When
(32:34):
the familiar crumbles, creativity takes root, Aquarius, don't say it twelve. Sorry,
where does it take that? That's why I'm not looking
at it. I'm not looking at it into you, I refuse.
I almost lost you. I know you don't have to
say it, Aquarius. Your beliefs are under construction. The framework
of your worldview is shifting, asking you to stretch beyond
(32:56):
old philosophies and into something new. What you thought was
certain is now up for debate, and that's exactly how
it should be. This isn't just an intellectual exercise. It's
a total reorientation of perspective. You're being asked to think bigger,
see beyond past limitations, and challenge what you've always accepted
as truth. Pick up the pieces, rearrange them, and build
(33:17):
something expansive. Like Pisces. The haze is in confusion, it's initiation.
You're walking through the fog of your subconscious being asked
to trust in what you can't yet see. This isn't
(33:38):
a time for hard answers or linear logic. It's a
time for intuition for letting the mysteries of your inner
world unfold without resistance.
Speaker 7 (33:47):
I no, no, no, I believe that Right now, all
the planners are lining up with.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
K if I mark how much time you're gonna leave
before you're gonna do the news.
Speaker 9 (34:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
We say, I think I'm good. Yes, it's the funniest
three hours and I'll talk radio. You know it's true.
We're live everywhere the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 10 (34:34):
More engaging, more stimulating, K S I, K O S
T h D two, Los Angeles, Orange County lives
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Everywhere on the radio.
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI A six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Let's go beyond the box score with Jackie Ray, and
let's talk about how President Donald Trump, going over to
last week, has inserted himself into the world of sports
once again. He has said publicly quote over the next
few weeks, I will be signing a complete pardon of
Pete Rose, who shouldn't have been gambling on baseball, but
only bet on his team winning. He never betted against
(00:29):
himself or the other team. He had the most hits
by far in baseball history and won more games than
anyone in sports history. Close quote. First, good evening, Jackie Ray. Second,
I worked in sports media for a few years while
this was happening, when Pete Rose specifically was banned from baseball.
(00:51):
Before we go forward, I have to say, once again
we are ahead of the curve talking about the President
inserting himself into sports. We can't then turn around and say, hey, athletes,
don't say anything political. What say you?
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Well, first of all, I want to say to young
people who are in school, this is what happens when
you don't do the reading. You get everything completely wrong.
Because if you were confused. If you're like Moe and
you knew about this when it was happening, this statement
was very confusing at first because you probably had to
google and say, was he convicted? Did he go to
prison for gambling? He did not go to prison for gambling.
(01:28):
He went to prison for tax evasion. And it was
only a few months at that, but it was well
after his career. So when you're pardoning Pete Rose, you're
not partying him for gambling. You're giving him a pardon
for tax evasion. It's not the same thing. So there's
a disconnect there for me.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
First of all, obviously President Trump is angling for Pete
Rose to be included in the Hall of Fame. Let
me bring everyone up to speed on some of the facts.
Major League Baseball and the National Baseball Hall of Fame
and Museum are separate entities. The latter is is operated
by a private foundation. As far as Major League Baseball goes,
(02:04):
Rule twenty one is what determined Pete Rose's fate, and
it reads as follows. Quote any player, umpire, or club,
or league official or employee who shall bet any sum
whatsoever upon any baseball game in connection with which the
better has no duty to perform, shall be declared ineligible
for one year. Part two. Any player, umpire, club, or
league official employee who shall bet any sum whatsoever on
(02:27):
any baseball game in connection with which the better has
a duty to perform, like Pete Rose was a manager,
shall be declared permanently ineligible. Permanently is not for life.
Permanently is to the end of time. Now the National
Baseball Hall of Fame in museum has this latitude. If
Major League Baseball removed Rose from the permanently ineligible list,
(02:50):
it in no way binds the Hall of Fame to
also admit him. Let me recap very quickly, and I'll
bring you back in, Jackie Ray. If you bet at all,
it does not matter if you bet on your team,
you bet on someone else's team. If you bet your
team to win your team to lose, you are permanently ineligible.
Let me also break it down. Just because you bet
on your team to win does not mean that you're
(03:11):
not doing a game of disservice. For example, let's say,
if I bet a sum of money on this game tonight,
and I'm the manager, I may use a picture that
I didn't plan to use, and I may use him tonight,
that means he's not to be used tomorrow because of
any max I am impacting the game in a way
which has to do with betting, not the good of
(03:31):
the team, using a pinchhit or something. So there's no
distinction made as to whether you are betting on your
team or against your team.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
It is illegal, and it's illegal for good reason.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Because now, if you were to pardon this, if this
is the goal to pardon this situation, there sets a precedent.
And we've been talking about this for a long time.
This rabbit hole goes very deep as far as gambling.
And if you set a precedent that says to people, oh, yeah,
this is just going to be bad for me now,
but it's not going to damage my legacy, because that's
one of the reasons that should to prevent players from
(04:01):
wanting to gamble, because it's going to damage your legacy.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
But if it's just a slap.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
On the wrist, and then later you can get a
president to say, oh, you know, gambling is not that
bad as long as your ga I'm always gonna bet
on myself in life, you know. So that's kind of
a ridiculous statement to me. And he's setting a precedent
that I don't think anybody should pay attention to because
what do we talk about all the time the integrity
of the sport. And if you want sports to have integrity,
(04:26):
if you want the fans that watch the game to
think that there is a level of integrity in the game,
then you have to uphold these things, even if the
President of the United States does not.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
There's a distinction there, And I want to highlight the
integrity of the game, which is different from integrity of
the person. Oftentimes I hear this argument, well, Ty Cobb
was a racist, so this person was an a hole,
and this person had sex out side of marriage. It's
not the integrity the person. You're talking about the integrity
of the game, the sport itself, and betting anyone who
(04:57):
plays baseball, professional baseball knows, rule to one it is
sacro saint. It is inarguable. There are no mitigating circumstances.
That's why shoeless Joe Jackson is not in the Hall
of Fame, and he still ain't in. When they say
permanently ineligible, they mean permanently ineligible. Now, I don't know
how much of a baseball fan President Trump is I
(05:19):
get the sense that he doesn't know much about baseball,
just being honest, because no one is disputing whether Pete
Rose has the player resume to be in the Hall
of Fame. It's the all time hits leader and manager
Charlie Hustle. I know his history, chapter and verse, but
rule twenty one until it changes, and I read that
a baseball commissioner is considering reviewing it until something happens.
(05:45):
He should not ever sniff the Hall of Fame because
the rules are presently as they.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Are, and I think the commissioner should not consider this.
And the reason why I say that is because when
we're talking about fans again, we have these rumors circling
every single season about every single sport that something is rigged.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
And the only way that you can give the.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Illusion that that is not true is if you prevent
gambling by the players who play the game.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
And so again, you don't want to set that precedence.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
And to your point, I don't think President Trump knows
anything about many sports because of the way that he
talks about it, not that he has to. You're the
president of the United States. You're supposed to be supposed
to be good at that. You're not supposed to be
good at knowing what's going on in sports. But if
you want the fans to have faith, even the President
of the United States saying this should be reconsidered, should
(06:37):
have no precedents and how you move as a league.
So I really hope that this is something that they
just completely throw out the window.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
And there are a lot of folks who are Johnny
cum Lately's who really don't even know the history of this.
If they want to relitigate it. Pete Rose agreed with
Major League Baseball on a permanent ban in nineteen eighty nine.
He said, yes, okay, I'll sign here, and he also
admitted to betting on baseball and betting on his own
team in his memoir he did by himself.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
And a man that does this, let's be clear, a
man that is going to bet on the sport that
he plays suddenly telling you, yeah, but I only bet
on myself. If you take that verbatim, then that's a
you problem. You can't trust anything at that point. This man,
his integrity has been questioned and he has admitted to that.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
So you can't.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Even though the president is saying he only bet on himself.
You're just taking his word for it, and there's no
proof of that. So this band has to stay indefinitely,
in my opinion, for.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
The sake of the sport itself. Now, if you want
to get into the politics of it all and the
optics of it all, yes, Rose is a celebrated American figure,
and there are those who want to disregard his personal
shortcomings which I haven't even gotten into, as well as
his gambling shortcomings. And if you're a fan of the
sport of baseball and you're knowledgeable about the rules, pass
(08:00):
go do not advance to boardwalk when it comes to
rule twenty one until that rule changes, heat Rose is
permanently ineligible, which is not the same as for life.
It means forever, forever, ever, forever, ever, forever ever. And
once again, here we are. We're back with sports, gambling
and also politics. It just seems like they lay this
(08:21):
stuff out here for.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Us because politics affect people, and who plays sports.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Say that again, Say that again.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Affect people, and people play sports.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
That's why eventually they're gonna start listening to us, Jackie Ray,
They're going to start listening to us. And when we
come back let's stay right here with baseball. Did you
know that baseball is right now testing technology that could
render umpires obsolete. They are testing automated ball strike systems
to be used at least right now in the minor leagues,
(08:54):
and it might be in the major league. So we
talk about that. Will we come back. It's Later with
Mo Kelly. I'm joined by Jackie Ray as we go
beyond the box Score. We are live everywhere the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI A six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
It's Later with Mo Kelly, and we're still going beyond
the box Score with Jackie Ray and still live everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app. Well, you can't say that robot
umpires are here in major league baseball as we continue
to talk about baseball, but a version of an automated
strike zone is being tested right now during spring training,
(09:30):
and the ABS Challenge System as it's called, is being implemented.
The system will be in place at thirteen stadiums and
in more than sixty percent of spring training games across
Arizona and Florida. Let's get to the real issue here.
Baseball has been very slow to change, and part of
that slowness is due to the fact that baseball likes
to pride itself on tradition and history from its stats,
(09:53):
and now the game is played where it's pretty much
the same today as it was seventy eighty years ago.
But with the advent of technicology, they've been really really slow.
Basketball was quicker to adopt replay. You had tennis and
soccer and hockey adopting more complicated, more sophisticated technology. As
far as determination of line violations and goals, Baseball has
(10:17):
always hung on to the idea of there's acceptable human error.
I've never agreed with that. I would rather have the
call correct. Where do you come out on this.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
I'm somewhere in the middle. I understand this that the
instant replay has been a huge deal.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Obviously, you need that.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
We've seen several calls, no matter if you're a football
fan or a basketball fan, we've seen you had to
reverse calls. It was I think it was Joel somebody
just got to ejected from a basketball game and they
had to go look at the replay, like, nope, just
bring it Joel and b Yeah, bring them back. So
these kinds of things really help the integrity of the
sport and then lets you get it right.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
On the flip side.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
My coach used to always tell me, if it comes
down to the call of a ref, you already lost
that game anyway. So it really doesn't make that much
of an impact. But we've seen this, especially in the NFL. Yes,
it does because if that game is closed, it can
come down to it. So I understand both sides of it.
I think that this is great that the baseball is
trying to take a leap because, like you said, they've
(11:12):
been really big on tradition, but traditionally we like to
make our lives easier and we like to respect the
integrity of the sport and know that it's right.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
I do believe that's a little.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Bit of human error is fine, but coming down to
affecting a lot of plays when their answer is right
there is completely unnecessary.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
So I think this is a good move. Let's talk
about specifics.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
During spring training, teams will get two challenges per game
and will only lose a challenge if it is unsuccessful.
Only a batter, pitcher, or catcher can challenge a call,
not the manager, which they will indicate by tapping their head.
They have to do so immediately after the pitch, without
assistance from the manager or players in the dugout. This
is called hawkeye tracking technology. It will be then used
(11:54):
to display on the video board showing whether the pitch
was a strike or not. On average, the challenge at
the Triple A level, which is one level below Major
League level, has taken seventeen seconds to complete. But this
is almost counterintuitive because they tried to speed up the
game right with the pitch clock. I understand why they're testing,
but it's just gonna show up umps. Why don't we
(12:15):
just get to the end. This is where all this
is headed. Why don't you just bring in the technology.
Professional hockey, the officials don't determine it. It's done electronically.
Same with soccer as well. Professional soccer, and we know
the lines in tennis, Yeah they have a judge up,
but it's technology that gets to determine it. I don't
know why it's taking so long. Let's hurry up. You're
(12:35):
only talking about let's say, I don't know, one hundred umpires.
Just bringing the technology and move on.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
I agree with that, just speed up the process. I
get the wondering if it's going to slow down the game,
but let's speed this up, because that's what we've seen
work across other leagues.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
We've talked about it, and then we've tried it.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
We haven't talked about it and then tested it out
in the G League or what we've talked about it,
and then we've done it. And then when you do it,
because here's in my opinion, there's a level of well,
we're just trying it out. So the urgency to get
this right and get it to perform at a high
level quickly just isn't there. So no, just get it done.
Let's just move it right into the majors right now.
(13:14):
Let's just get it done. That's one thing I do
like about the NFL. It's much more nimble of a
professional league.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
In other words, we're going to change the kickoff rule,
We're going to change overtime rule. They make it happen
and keep moving and then they'll treak it as they go.
Baseball not so much part of it. I do understand.
They're probably gradually bringing along their fandom to understand it
and receive it. In the ways that they've disallowed the
shift in the outfield in the way that they've made
(13:42):
change as far as how many pitching changes you can
make in a given any how they change extra innings
starting a runner on second base. Baseball has done better.
But this is the biggest change, which I think would
be great for everyone. Just get the right call. I
don't need someone behind the plate using their human judgment
to do it. Just get the right call off as
(14:02):
the striker or not. I can go into all the
zone percentages and how be determined. That's neither here nor there.
Just make it happy. We have the technology right.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
And you know, I appreciate respecting and honoring the fan
base and moving things slowly, but I can tell you
right now the fan base is used to things moving quickly.
Nobody in that fan base probably has the very first
iPhone because technology just moves that fast. So we are
in a society now where we're trained to move with
the times. So all you have to do is move
with the times and say, hey, we're moving into the.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Twenty first century. That's all you have to say.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
People are going to go with it because they're trained
to it, and if they're not, trust me, they will
come around. Because at some point a robot is going
to deliver food to them, and they're going to think
the robot is cute. They're not going to say to themselves,
I wish a human had brought mind. They're not going
to say that.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
No, that's not the time that we live in.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Capitalize that everybody is kind of technologically sound and we're
moving forward, and how can we make our lives easier.
That's how we're all mentally that we all have that
in common. We all understand that life is going to
get very interesting with the advent of AI and things
like that.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
We all understand that.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
So don't think that people are going to be slow
to understand what's happening in their day to day lives.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Anyway, that's not going to happen.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Jackie Ray is good to see you. We'll talk soon,
Talk too soon.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
The Oscars have come and gone. I was not really
impressed with much of that show. I didn't have a
dog in the fight. It wasn't rooting for any particular movie.
I said before the show that since a lot of
the movies lacked the type of star power that you
would customarily expect with an Oscar's awards. Show didn't have
(15:42):
much impact on me. I think the biggest story was
maybe to me more and whether she would win an Oscar.
She was the front runner for Best Actress as far
as what we could gather going into the Oscar. She
had won most of the awards leading up to that point,
the Indicator Awards. People I think were waiting or expecting
her to win. She did not. That's a storyline, but
(16:05):
it didn't make the show any better one way or
the other. And Conan O'Brien, I thought, was going to
be a bit edgier in his monologue, with the exception
of the Drake joke, which we'll play at some point.
I was very underwhelmed. I've seen him do far better work.
So we'll play just a little bit of it and
(16:26):
come to your own conclusion.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
Hello, I'm your host, Conan O'Brien.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Yeah, way minute, did he say Conan?
Speaker 6 (16:33):
Does you call himself Connon O'Brien.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
Hello, I'm your host, Conan O'Brien.
Speaker 7 (16:38):
Yeah, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
I know what you're thinking. Did Conan not have work done? Seriously?
He looks his age.
Speaker 8 (16:53):
I should have done something. I am excited to be here.
Welcome to the ninety.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Seventh Academy Awards.
Speaker 8 (17:00):
One's biggest night that starts at four in the afternoon.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
Everyone here just had brunch.
Speaker 8 (17:07):
I don't understand it, but it's the Oscars, and I say,
let's do this thing.
Speaker 5 (17:12):
You're ready to go?
Speaker 7 (17:13):
I am.
Speaker 8 (17:18):
I'm walking to show I have control of the stage.
A complete unknown, a real a real pain, no statu
These are just some of the names I was called
on the red carpet. I think two are fair. We're
(17:47):
here to celebrate the movie industry. What a year for
the movie industry. Netflix leads all studios with an impressive
eighteen count of eighteen price increases.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Yes, and I think they can.
Speaker 8 (18:01):
Beat that next year.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
What about those ladies Arianna and Cynthia? Weren't they?
Speaker 2 (18:11):
They were crudile.
Speaker 8 (18:15):
Wicked is nominated tonight in ten categories.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 8 (18:23):
It's the perfect movie for anyone who's ever finished watching
The Wizard of Oz and thought, sure, but where did
all the minor characters go to college?
Speaker 2 (18:34):
That's the story.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
I love the Brutalist, I really did. I love the Brutalist.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 8 (18:45):
Brutalists also received ten nominations.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (18:48):
No, I love the Brutalist, I really did. I didn't
want it to end, and luckily it didn't. Conclave Mcatholic
boy love Conclave. Yeah yeah, Ruby. Conclave is nominated for
Best Picture tonight. If you haven't seen Conclave, its log
(19:08):
line is a movie about the Catholic Church. But don't worry,
I kind of left you. Gotta hold on and just wait. Yeah,
and then it comes rolling back at you.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
Ray Finds is excellent in Conclave. Yeah, you are excellent.
True fact.
Speaker 8 (19:36):
This is actually Ray Finds third time being nominated. Yeah,
if he doesn't, if he doesn't win tonight, we all
get to call him Ralph.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Hey, Ralph, give me a towel. Ha ha, Okay, this
is not real, superman Zelop.
Speaker 8 (19:52):
He's laughing or not, it doesn't matter, not getting paid
a lot.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
Hey, you know what. I loved the Nora. I really did. Yeah,
I loved it. Yeah, yeah, whose story? A little fact
for you.
Speaker 8 (20:09):
Nora uses the F word four hundred and seventy nine times.
That's three more than the record set by Carlo Sofia,
Gascon's publicist.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
You treated what It's a little too inside baseball? Wasn't
that funny?
Speaker 8 (20:40):
I'm having fun Carlos, Carlos, Sophia Gascon is here tonight,
and yeah, yeah, yeah, and Carla, if you are gonna
tweet about the Oscars, remember my name is Jimmy Kimmel.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Okay, all right, it was all right. I expected it
to be just a little more edgy, a little bit funny.
Speaker 9 (21:09):
He had a line later on that kind of semi
brought the house down about why people liked Anora so much,
and the reason is because they were happy to see
somebody stand up to a powerful rush that got a
huge response.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Yeah, but for almost like an eighteen minute monologue.
Speaker 9 (21:24):
I need a few more hits than misses. I wanted
more of him, and I wanted more of his shtick
from his old show. And the closest he came was
the sand worm playing the piano or what was the
sandworm playing.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
To harp and piano? Okay, right, yeah, the two incidents,
two instruments.
Speaker 9 (21:40):
I love the bizarre, random stuff from his old show,
and I was hoping the old offensive ghost crooner would
come out, but big disappointments on that front.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
I like the sand worm bit. Yeah, I don't attribute
that to Conan O'Brien. I have attribute that to the producers.
You know they put that in there. I don't know
if he put that in there.
Speaker 9 (21:58):
But he's renowned for just a silly, offbeat, random, abstract,
absurd sense of humor. I mean, I knew we weren't
going to see the FedEx Pope in his bathrobe, but
that was some vintage Conan. I thought, you yeah, And
actually I liked how they started.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
I obviously couldn't play when he's basically crawling out. It
to me more at the very beginning as an ode
to substance. I like that physical comedy, but as far
as what the monologue had, it didn't quite meet the
mark for him. But there were some moments when he
throws in a Drake joke and the whole audience gets it.
It reminds you of how the Kendrick Lamar Drake beef
(22:36):
is now so very mainstream that a completely white audience,
let's be honest, who's not connected to hip hop music,
immediately gets the joke.
Speaker 8 (22:46):
Well, we're halfway through the show, which means it's time
for Kendrick Lamar to come out and call Drake a pedophile.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Don't worry, I'm lawyer. Anyway.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
That's good stuff. That is really good stuff. And if
you know the history, Kendrick Lamar his song not Like Us.
He calls Drake a pedophile in it, a specific lyric
that he also performed during the Super Bowl. Prior to
the Super Bowl, Drake's people tried to sue and in fact,
it was a settlement I can't even talk about on
air because it has to do with a parent company
(23:23):
that we work for. There was a settlement. You can
look it up, Mark, so you know what I'm talking about.
There's a settlement regarding that song and how often it
was played and why I was played, and for Conan
O'Brien to hit all of those stories in that joke,
I thought it was really witty. I hope THEYD invite
Conan back.
Speaker 9 (23:42):
I like Kimmel as well, but I hope they invite
Conan back, and I hope he cuts loose even more
the next time.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
And maybe that's part of it. You know, you're going
to be a little bit more conservative your first time
out if you want to do it more than once.
I personally was not tired of Jimmy Kimmel. I thought
they just needed a fresher voice and face to give
it a just a different feel to the show, and
they were successful in that regard.
Speaker 9 (24:06):
I mean, you're never going to have anybody as cool
as Johnny Carson doing it.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
No, no, look, I would have even settled for a
Billy Crystal esque type person who really knew how to
work the room in that regard. But you know, Connor
was fine. It's fine. I just I was. Maybe my
expectations were higher than they should have been.
Speaker 9 (24:25):
Maybe I thought the Awards show itself was a snoozer
because it's the weakest group of nominees yep, that I
remember in my entire life.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
And not only that, the things that I was tuning
in for, like the tribute to Quincy Jones, I thought
was just really poor, not well thought out, not well executed,
and it seemed like an afterthought. The n memoriam segment
left out too many people. The things that I was
tuning in for left me wanting more.
Speaker 9 (24:53):
Was disappointing. Yeah, if you're going to do the in
memoriam segment. They get complaints about this every single year,
and it doesn't take a genius to get this right.
I mean, like you always say, get the easy ones right.
This is one of the easy ones.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Amen to that.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty CAFI.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Mister bo Kelly, We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
And I didn't choose the title of this is just
the title, okay, I'm just reading what was put in
front of me. Blame Stephen Mark or Tawala. Not my fault.
Here's your horoscope for each sodiac sign on March fourth.
As of tomorrow, the moon aligns with Uranus. Does it now?
Speaker 9 (25:38):
So?
Speaker 2 (25:38):
I'm told aries, this is a full system test, reset
and invitation to burn away outdated beliefs about money, worth
and security. The cosmos is tripping you to the essentials,
forcing you to release financial habits and value systems that
no longer serve you. If you've been clinging to scarcity
thinking or measuring your worth by external validation, well this
(26:00):
is your moment to break free. Something within you is shifting,
urging you to redefine true abundance that lines up with
Uranus taurus. You may feel a sudden, almost electric sense
of awakening, a realization that the person you've been is
no longer the person you are becoming. It's not just
about minor changes or small shifts in perspective. It's a
(26:21):
full scale rebirth, a redefinition, if you will, of your desires, ambitions,
and the very essence of who you are. This process
may feel exhilarating one moment and disorienting the next as
old versions of yourself fall away.
Speaker 7 (26:36):
Forget Saturn, It's all about uranus.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Just keep going back to that well. Trust that the
universe guides you toward a more honest, unapologetic expression of
your true self. Jim and I, Stephan, are you ready
for uranus? That's a yes, no question turning you right.
Oh it's a cancer then oh us, you're a cancer.
I'm sorry, So that's oh, this is us, This is
(27:01):
mark uranus. It gets funny or every time, Jim and I,
your body is speaking, but are you listening. The smallest triggers,
a conversation, a movement, assent can send shock waves through
your nervous system on earthing what has long been buried.
This isn't just about the mind. This is about the
body as a map revealing the places where pain, memory,
(27:22):
and healing intertwined. You might feel overwhelmed by emotions seemingly
coming out of nowhere. I'm where are they coming out of?
But nothing is random about this process. I saw that
curve and I said, let me just stop cancer. Here
we go, we go. The muse is knocking, but it's
(27:44):
not here for perfection, but for raw, uncontainable expression. Inspiration
is surging, but it will slip through your fingers if
you try to control it. What wants to be created
through you right now is untamed, messy, and alive. Whether
through art, writing, movement, or some other channel. You are
being called to open the creative floodgates without worrying about
structure or outcome. If you over polish and try to
(28:06):
make it digestible for others, you might miss the very
essence of what makes it powerful. Trust in the beauty
of imperfection. Look to the stars. You'll see your anus
Leo home miscalling, but not in the way you expect.
The past may be knocking, asking you to reconsider where
(28:27):
you belong and what truly anchors you. Is home a place,
a person, or a feeling or is it something deeper,
something you've yet to define. You might feel nostalgic, drawn
to familiar comforts, or even unsettled by the realization that
what once felt like home no longer does. The ground
beneath your feet is shifting, and soon you'll have no
choice but to answer Virgo. There are forces shaping your
(28:51):
path that you have yet to fully acknowledge. The pressures,
the distractions, and the quiet expectations have been molding your
decisions without you Eva and realizing it. Who are you
When you strip away external influence? The universe urges you
to examine where your choices are truly yours and where
they have been subtly shaped by societal expectations, family, or fear.
(29:14):
So it's time to cut through the noise to recognize
what is authentically yours and what has been imposed upon
you or youranus what nothing tough, crowd libra. People don't
fit into neat little boxes, and the universe is making
sure you don't. Making sure you understand that right now.
(29:36):
If you've been trying to mold others to your liking,
prepare for resistance. I don't leave that alone. You are
being asked to shift your perspective, to read what, to
release rigid expectations, and to meet people as they are,
not as you wish them to be. There is beauty
in the messiness of human nature in the contradictions, the unpredictability,
(29:58):
and the imperfections. I think you know how you play
that game with a fortune cookie and whatever the fortune
cookie says, you put in bed on the end of it. Yeah,
this seems like one of those times we need to
put your anus on the end of every sentence or not.
I agree. There's beauty in the messiness of human nature,
(30:19):
in the contradictions, the predictability, and the imperfections.
Speaker 6 (30:23):
As comets shoot pass your anus.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
The more you release your grip, the more you'll see
people for who they truly are. Complex, contradictory and beautifully human. Scorpio.
Here you go to walallet Oh. Desire doesn't thrive in control.
It thrives and surrender. If you've been trying to orchestrate, analyze,
or contain your emotions, the cosmost reminds you that real
(30:47):
intimacy requires trust. You cannot intellectualize your way through passion,
nor can you script every moment of connection. There is
an invitation now to let go, to step into the
unknown with open arms and a fearless art, whether in love, creativity,
or personal transformation. The more you release your grip, the
more magnetic you become I.
Speaker 7 (31:07):
Don't know how that milky way lines up with your ainus. Sagittarius,
stop it, Mark, you're killing me tonight. Your life is
art and every moment is a brushstroke. The cosmos asked
(31:28):
you to slow down.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Yeah, romanticize the smallest details, and let beauty catch you
off guard. When was the last time you truly savored
something fully, without distraction? There is an urgency to embrace
the present, to let joy and wonder permeate your daily existence.
This isn't about escapism, It's about presence. The more you savor,
the more you see. Let the world become poetry. Let
(31:52):
the mundane becomes sacred and watches your reality transforms.
Speaker 6 (31:56):
Capricorn, oait wait wait, wait for Sagittary.
Speaker 7 (32:00):
You're a sash bo yes, Sam, and you don't have
a telescope?
Speaker 6 (32:04):
Have you ever used it to look at your anus?
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Capricorn? A little chaos is good for you. The universe
is inviting you to step off the beaten path and
trade rigid plans for some unpredictability. You may resist at first,
after all, structure is your sanctuary, but something within you
craves a shakeup, a fresh approach, a radical, new way
of being. The structures you cling to may not be
as stable as you think, and that's not bad. When
(32:34):
the familiar crumbles, creativity takes root, Aquarius, don't say it twelve. Sorry,
where does it take that? That's why I'm not looking
at it. I'm not looking at it into you, I refuse.
I almost lost you. I know you don't have to
say it, Aquarius. Your beliefs are under construction. The framework
of your worldview is shifting, asking you to stretch beyond
(32:56):
old philosophies and into something new. What you thought was
certain is now up for debate, and that's exactly how
it should be. This isn't just an intellectual exercise. It's
a total reorientation of perspective. You're being asked to think bigger,
see beyond past limitations, and challenge what you've always accepted
as truth. Pick up the pieces, rearrange them, and build
(33:17):
something expansive. Like Pisces. The haze is in confusion, it's initiation.
You're walking through the fog of your subconscious being asked
to trust in what you can't yet see. This isn't
(33:38):
a time for hard answers or linear logic. It's a
time for intuition for letting the mysteries of your inner
world unfold without resistance.
Speaker 7 (33:47):
I no, no, no, I believe that Right now, all
the planners are lining up with.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
K if I mark how much time you're gonna leave
before you're gonna do the news.
Speaker 9 (34:17):
I don't know.
