Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
And it was a very light box office weekend. There
were no major movies released, probably because all of Hollywood
was doing the Oscars thing and you don't have the
people available to either promote movies or do interviews. It's
not a good weekend for anyone to release any major movie,
and so you didn't have much change in the top
(00:27):
ten movies. Now, there was one entrant by the name
of Last Breath, not even familiar with that movie is about.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
That's the Woody Harrelson one about the underwater rescue, the
deep sea rescue. Yeah, that nobody cared about.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
But it had a decent week It came in at
number two, brought in seven point eight million domestically and
just about five hundred and thirty seven thousand internationally, so
there's not a wide presence internationally, so brought it an
eight point three million overall. To come in at number two.
Number three was The Monkey, which actually added twenty seven
(01:01):
theaters and it brought in six point four million, and
it's worldwide gross is thirty one million. Again, it's light
weekend for any of these movies. Paddington in Peru came
in fourth at four point five million worldwide gross of
one hundred and sixty four million. Number five is dog Man.
(01:21):
We had talked about that four point two million this
week for a worldwide gross of one hundred and thirteen million.
No big movies with exception of the number one movie,
Captain America Brave New World. Good news, bad news. Depending
on how you spin it. You could say, hey, Captain
America Brave New World was number one for the third
week in a row. It brought in fourteen point eight
(01:43):
million domestically, and it's you know, it's not a worldwide hit,
but it's not doing poorly either. He has one hundred
and sixty three million domestically, one hundred and seventy eight internationally,
worldwide gross of three hundred and forty two million. I'm
quite sure Disney would like to see it. It hit
at least four hundred million. Here's the problem in regard
(02:04):
to that, it is now going to start losing theaters.
It lost three hundred and five theaters this past week,
now down to thirty eight hundred. That drop is going
to be steeper in the coming weeks as they move
out most of these movies which are in theaters for
three weeks or more, but it still has an outside chance.
Moufossa the Lion King came in at number six with
(02:26):
one point nine million. It's total is now seven hundred
and six million, nine hundred and sixty about seven hundred
and seven million.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
I put those two movies together to let you.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Know you can see Moufasa the Lion King has been
in theaters for eleven weeks, meaning if not for the
Disney movies, your favorite movie theater is doing bupkiss in
business period point blank.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
And there's still nothing coming out in the coming weeks
that it's really going to kick Captain America Brave in
the world out of the top five. So I believe
it'll hit that four hundreds because it is doing very
good overseas and still, regardless of all the hate that
it is receiving here in the US, is still thriving.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I try to remind people Disney is a worldwide company.
They're making movies for the world, not just flyover country,
and even though you may not like Disney or the
movies that it's offering, it is in your best interests
to root for, not against, otherwise your favorite local mom
and pop theater will be gone without Disney and their
(03:40):
movies period.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
Point flank real quick, and I'm sorry I have to
interrupt this weekend box office update because I spent the
weekend binge watching quite possibly one of the best shows
out there made You did not lie. I completed my
homework assignment finally, and I caught up with Paradise Man.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I was look, I didn't ask if Stephan has caught
up and done the most recent assignments.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
He started off early, but you know, I don't know
if you finished.
Speaker 6 (04:11):
Wait, folks, I beach you well, yeah, I mean I
caught all the way up.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
I could not stop watching yesterday.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
I skipped the Oscars all day because I was in
my room in the dark watching it like pins and needles.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
That's awesome. The penultimate episode, the episode seven, Oh my god,
episode eight is tonight.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
I think it comes out at midnight tonight or it's
available at midnight.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
I plan to watch that.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
And the only thing with penultimate episodes, which are so
very good, usually there's.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
A letdown for the finale.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
This last episode could have very easily been the season finale,
and they could until you told me it was, and
also it was acknowledged last week stars Sterley K. Brown,
and I don't want to give away the meaning of
how he did it, but he publicized that season two
had already been greenlit.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Well, he's one of the executive producers. Yes, so that's
probably He's like, look, as one of the executive producers,
I'm proud of this. I'm gonna go on out and
put it out there and say, yeah, man, we did this.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
It's a hell of a start. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
And what scares me is it's going to be hard
to keep up the intensity, the pace, the tension of
season one because everything is about revelation.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
There's a very narrow aperture.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
You don't get to see the fullness of the story,
and they've been slowly revealing things, and probably by the
end of season one they will have revealed the major
aspects of the story, the backstories, the players, the importance
of who and so and so is, and what they're
going to mean going forward.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
I don't know if you can do that in season two.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
There are some things they introduce and you can't say
about it, can't give it away, but there are some
major plot lines that they introduce that impact the world
we're seeing from the outside looking in, and I think
that that will be a major, major or play a
major role in a coming season, because now I'm curious
(06:21):
as to what else is there.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
This series, for me, was so good. I would have
loved to have seen a movie version of it. I
would have loved to have seen how this could have
played out as a two and a half hour movie. Yeah,
some things would have been left out, but I would
have been okay with that. What's say you, Mark, I'd.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Say, if you leave out the kids, that'd be fine
with me, and you could boil it down to a
movie real easy. I'm wary of a second season because
this was such a solid first season and I think
it shows like Lost or that Stephen King under the Dome,
which after a while you just kind of felt like
you were getting jerked around. And I don't know how
they improve on this. I see diminishing turns happening if
(07:00):
they're not super careful.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
The problem with a lot of these shows, and again
I don't want to be too specific. There is a goal,
you know, if you In other words, the only way
the show can end is with a very dramatic ending
either happy or sad. The whole show, like Loss for example,
or even from you're moving towards a specific goal lost,
(07:24):
getting home, from getting home, and you know that's the
goal from like episode one or two. This show is
similar in that regard, where you're pressing towards a revelation
and either they keep teasing that and keeping you away
from it, or they give it to you when the
show's over.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Yeah, the show hinges on a revelation about the setting.
And I'm not going to say anything more than that.
I think there are ways you could engineer it and
write it so that you could keep it fresh for
a while in that setting. But the clock's ticking now
that we know the score.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Yeah, I three season since maximum, and that might even
be too long.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Oh that's a stretch, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Yeah, they may milk it for the third season just
for money purposes. But you can see how a show
would fall off because you can't. That's when you start
seeing those filler episodes, those throwaway episodes where you didn't
learn anything, you didn't feel the story was moved forward
because you run out of a story to tell.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Heavy on flashback or something like that right.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Well, they already are, and the flashbacks constitute fully half
of the plot that we see. And that's fine because
it doesn't seem like it's a time waster yet, like
there were a lot of things, especially if you remember Lost,
like you would wonder, well, we just spent this whole
episode with son and her her husband. What was that
(08:44):
other than getting to know them better and filling out
character that doesn't advance the plot.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
We haven't had that yet.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
There are other characters in this story that we've not
seen their backstories yet. I expect those flashbacks to be
coming next season.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
There are consequential.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Characters without calling them out, we don't know where they
were as of episode seven.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
And okay, well we'll talk off Mike because there's a
major character who saw who took the thing, and I
need to know more about that character he saw he said,
I remember you, you were there, you took the thing.
I need to know more about him because I believe
that his mental health is a mislead.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
And we didn't see that person. How that person got
to the destination.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Where people are right now. Yes, that was a conspicuous
absence and all that. Yes, So we don't want to
give away anything. If you haven't started watching Paradise, just
watch the first episode. I promise you you just watched
the first episode. If you like the first episode, you'll
be fine the rest of the series. If you don't
like the first episode, then you not really wasted anything.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Yeah, man, it's.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Later with more Kelly six forty Live Everywhere in the
iHeartRadio App. I have bad news for Twala and Mark
when we come back. Depending on how old your DVDs
are and where you got them from, they may be
useless and you may not even know it.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Kelly Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Maybe you are
a person who doesn't feel confident about keeping digital media,
or maybe you just prefer physical media to have something
to hold on to. We've had many discussions about how
DVDs usually have content that.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Digital media does not.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Like if I want to watch The Avengers that I
can watch some of the deleted scenes, it's not going
to have as much content on it as the physical
DVD would or the Blu Ray. Come to find out, well,
your DVDs may also be temporary. For example, virtually every
(11:09):
Warner Brothers DVD disc manufacture between two thousand and six
and two thousand and eight has to come to what
they call laser rot where discs simply stop working due
to a rotting of the layers or lasers. Once it happens,
it can't be undone. Well, we do know it was
a frequent problem with laser discs back in the eighties
(11:31):
and nineties, but it wasn't a huge problem with DVDs
until now, and it can't be undone. So all those
DVDs that you might have purchased during the early portion
of the two thousands, especially if it happens to be
Warner Brothers and they have an extensive library, I'm quite sure, Tula,
(11:52):
you have a lot of Warner Brothers.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
DVD come my Matrix collection alone. Yep, yep.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
I think that there's going to have to be a
class action lawsuit against Warner Brothers for manufacturing such faulty DVDs,
and the payout will be in digital free digital downloads.
If I pop in a single one of my Warner
(12:18):
Brothers DVDs, any of my Warner collects, I'm talking about
Lord of the Rings, anything anything my DC Animated Universe,
all of that stuff that I have on DVD with
a special deleted scenes, and especially the additional mini episode
or many thirty minute all that Warner Brothers class action lawsuit.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
He's going to the trunk. I don't understand. Well, put
us away.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
We thought when we had the CD ROMs and DVDs
and the Blu rays, that we were moving into a
period of technology one away from analog and two did
not have to worry about the decay or degrading like
analog media did. That was supposed to be the upside
of DVDs and CDs for that matter.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
And come to find out now they have the same
shelf life for the most part. Well, I don't know
how much into the weeds of this you want to get.
I actually I do a lot of homework on this
because I've got an insane massive library and I'm still
accumulating stuff because apparently I've got some kind of out
of control OCD. There's no perfect way to store any
of this stuff. You could store it on hard drives,
(13:23):
but there's a debate now about whether you want it
on a solid state driver or the kind of the
moving discs. If those go bad, and both kinds do,
then everything's lost. You can you know, if you have
tuala your discs and you're worried about the laser rot
on them, you can rip them and reburn them, or
rip them and store them on a disc. But every however,
(13:43):
many number of years, depending on the individual thing and
the environment that you store it in, those are variables.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Well, it seems like you're saying there is no fail safe,
there is no guarantee about preserving any of this media.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
There isn't.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
But I would still infinitely prefer to own a piece
of physical media than ever trusted corporation with a digital
download that I have quote bought, because you never fully
own those.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Ever now you don't.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
No, I agree, you don't fully own them. You just
have the right to view them, which is completely different.
I mean trust and believe. My entire Apple iTunes music
catalog is gone. I can't even access this thing anymore.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
And I downloaded I don't know how many songs, albums
with liner notes, all that stuff, and I can't access
you paid for I paid for that.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
I paid for that. I lost my.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
iTunes collection many years ago, just going from one computer
to the next it's you just can't access it.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
It's gone.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Yeah, But I didn't have an extensive DVD collection. I'm
more of the mind I would rather have the digital media,
which for me is probably easier to transfer than a DVD,
which is probably more cumbersome.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
I have the digital downloads. I got a lot.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
My digital library is pretty extensive, and there's a lot
of things that I got because I want to watch
it at the radar.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
I don't want to have.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
To go and dig through the DVDs and pull out
the Laker displayer and all there. There's some things I'm
just like, eh, I want to own and just watch
when I want to watch it.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
But I have some things.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
I have some things that are absolute classics on DVD.
I'm talking things you can't find anywhere at all.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Well, they still play though.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
The last time I pulled something out, yes, he did.
Like the last time I pulled something out.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
It was my.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
Anniversary edition of Flash Gordon. I got a copy of that,
really yeah. I bought it a Comic Condos. It was
a limited edition and it came with a Flash Gordon
action figure with the khaki pants and the white T
shirt with the Flash on the front. And it came
with a football. It was like a super case. The
deal is DV with the bonus DVD and another and
(16:02):
oh oh and I had a music I had a CD,
so I had a soundtrack too, so it came with
the soundtrack, the DVD and the bonus cuts DVD.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
That's how they're appealing. That's how they're staying in business.
That's how these companies are surviving, which is making these bespoke,
extra jam packed, super special editions of movies that they
know have a built in audience. Like I just I
pre ordered a super duper special edition of Scanners, the
David Cronenberg movie.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
That's look, that's a cult classic.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
I'm actually open to them remaking with special effects today.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Oh I think it's perfect in every respect and I
wouldn't want to see it remade. But your mileage may
very They made a series of cheaper and cheaper sequels
to it that I wasn't that interested in. But you know,
that's from an Australian company called Second Site, and it's
like forty five bucks with another twenty of postage. But
you don't get that stuff with downloads. There is one
(16:56):
streaming service I know of that has extras. It's called
Arrow and it's a cult streaming label, and if you
haven't checked it out, it's worth like paying what seven
bucks tried out for a month. They have the extras,
like they'll have the movie and then you can watch
the movie with the commentary track or interviews. But that's
the exception, not the rule. I like the commentary tracks.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
When I was in my late teens early twenties, I
used to collect analogue cassette tapes, albums.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
I had, you.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Know, walls of cassette tapes, and then I realized I
felt like I was getting too attached to physical media.
I didn't ever want to feel like I was beholden
to just collecting stuff and worrying about it and having
a degrade what have you. So I just stopped collecting.
I don't collect much of anything, Like I'm not a
clothes horse. I don't have a lot of shoes. Even
(17:46):
the music I have, I don't even because of when
I lost my iTunes collection. I'd rather just go to
YouTube and play stuff or Spotify. When I have the
desire to hear something, It's always available, so I don't
feel the need to purchase or keep it anything I
feel that way more so with music, but I also
like to be surrounded by things that bring me comfort
when the world is crumbling.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Yeah, what about the long suffering one? She's one of
those things. I keep her on a shelf.
Speaker 6 (18:14):
Okay, you know she's who knows that's not at all?
What kind of what kind of loved you? Bo a
locker and just hope to hear it.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
That part.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
We'll find out very soon because she'll text him kf
I am six forty and with that Mark Ronner, when
we come back, Mark Ronner, we don't find out where's
the line how Americans define cheating in modern relationships.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
I don't see what this has to do with me.
Let's go to the news. We're live everywhere in the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
And I saw this article at studyfines dot org, and
it intrigued me because our attitudes about relationships and the
complexity in which we develop relationships has changed so much.
I wonder what people find as going over the line.
I'm actually curious. And I listened to the dating stories
(19:13):
of people who are younger than me what they consider
sex is what they consider cheating to be. And it's
a real different world from when I was coming along.
And because when I was coming along in Tula and Mark,
there weren't things like online dating, not or began. During
(19:33):
that time. There wasn't texting per se. You didn't have
the access to other people like you do now. You
didn't have these dating night apps where you just swipe
left or right you could hook up with someone.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
It was much more involved.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
But this article talked about where is the line how
Americans define cheating in modern relationships and in trying to
protect the innocent and the guilty for their matter. I'm
just going to speak about this hypothetically. Got to make
sure I gotta stay married. And Mark Ronner, he's trying
to keep himself and getting kicked out of the house,
(20:08):
So tread lightly. Yes, we're gonna be very general here, Twalla.
You can go buck Wold Stephan. I don't know his status,
but you know I don't want to get myself in
trouble here. For example, it's flirting with the barista who
makes your boarding coffee a betrayal of your partner. And
I would say, what is flirting? Are you being polite?
(20:29):
Is that a smile or you like you're throwing a wink?
How do we even define flirting?
Speaker 5 (20:38):
If I go and get some coffee in the morning
and the barista is looking rather fetching that morning, and
I say, hey, this coffee is hot, but not as
hot as you.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
That's flirting. I would say, if you were to make
a compliment about someone's physical appearance or something which is
completely unrelated to why you are there, then I think
that would be the line. Like, if you haven't met the.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Barista, you don't know the barisa, you don't have any
real report. You say, Hey, that outfit looks good on you.
I think you cross the line there in that particular instance.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
Whoa I mean if I mean, that's such an innocent
thing to say.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Look, I'm not going to just comment on people's like clothing,
not if they're wearing the same uniform as Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
I mean, you look good.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
That apron looks good on you, barista, babe.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
You know, I don't know see that.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
I don't know if barista is a good choice because
most of us we know the barista, we know the
place we go.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Okay, all right, here we go talker research and commissioned
by Leelo. They're talking about these gray areas of relationship
fidelity and considering behaviors like harmless flirting fifty one percent,
chatting with an x sixty percent, and watching adult videos
twenty three eighty as forms of cheating. So when you
(22:05):
mark Ronner hypothetically, hypothetically.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Just put the brakes on this, Okay, if roc monor
Okay work to be milot Finn, we're to be in
a relationship, however you define relationship, and we're to open
up porn hub that to some.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Is considered cheating almost one in four. I don't quite
follow that line of thinking, but I'm just telling you
what respondents have said.
Speaker 5 (22:36):
Does rock monor keep their significant other one on the shelf?
Speaker 3 (22:42):
I'm not sure I appreciate any of this, but I mean,
approximately ninety nine percent of men have looked at porn
at some point and the other one percent or liars.
So this is like, you know, being being angry with
the tie is coming in. I don't I don't understand
(23:02):
what the issue is here. The tithes that come and
they go so to speak, yes, thank you for that, Okay.
When it comes to adult film, specifically, those with strong
feelings on the matter say that fifty of those respondents
believe that racy content should be banned altogether once a
relationship becomes serious.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Good luck with that.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Sixty percent of those surveyed considered chatting with an ex
partner as crossing the line. In more than half fifty
one percent.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
Do you what?
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Many dismissed a harmless flirting as the betrayal of trust. See,
flirting is so vague. I'm not trying to you know,
not trying to you know, trying to game the system.
But how do people define flirting? Are you talking about
flirting with intent or like someone like every man knows
when a when a woman is looking at him, you know, looking.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
And if you smile back, is that flirting? Have you
crossed the line there?
Speaker 2 (24:01):
I'm not talking about asking for a number, just like
you know, winking or not, Like, yeah, i'd blow your
back out.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
I can't see how anybody to have a problem with that.
Speaker 7 (24:13):
No, but kind of like I know, going back to barisas,
But I mean you get to know them because you
see the same people every day and sometimes you do
have like legit conversations. But yeah, I think if you
comment on something that, like you said, does not have
to do with being there. That kind of would cross
the line. But as far as being looked at, I'm
bad at that. Like if you say to.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
A barista, Hey, I like the way you're filling out
that Starbucks mermaid. That's that's flirting. That seems like it
would be flirting.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Yes, I think if you are trying to elicit some
sort of response, then you've crossed the line, even if
you don't even plan to follow up. Yeah, you kind
of know where that line is. It's like, damn, you
look good in that skirt. Now, you may have no
intention of falling up, but you know, your significant other, wife, girlfriend, whatever,
(25:02):
it's probably going to have an issue with that.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
You'd have to be clinically insane to say that to
somebody in front of your wife. Yes, yeah, look, I
mean that's kind of the benchmark right there. If it's
something you wouldn't say or do in front of the wife,
it's probably not kosher.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Oh, let me put myself in this conversation. Oh please, please,
I don't even have to say anything. All I have
to do is just if she thinks that the woman
is my type, I'm in trouble.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Oh, preach, listen, listen.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
I get in trouble for women saying nice things to me, right,
and so for days or weeks or sometimes even years afterwards,
I'll hear in a mocking voice.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
Mark, would you like a bottle of water? Or you
know something like that. You know, the only reason my
wife comes to like our remotes.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
You don't even need to finish this ues to support me,
just to plan a flag, that's all.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Yeah, that's all you know.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
And if I'm nice to a listener, it's like, hmm,
that's her response to everything.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
Mmm, I love it.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Oh you know that?
Speaker 4 (26:14):
So so she was very nice. Hmm, that's what you like.
That's the code. It's always that.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
It's always that I am constantly getting scapegoaded and uh
de facto punished for perceived behaviors of other people towards
me when I'm just standing there and I'm like, what
what did I do?
Speaker 4 (26:33):
Mark? You want some some cream for your coffee?
Speaker 3 (26:37):
What?
Speaker 4 (26:38):
I didn't initiate anything? The Lord have mercy.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Look wait wait, wait, wait until you get married, Mark,
assuming that you one day get married, you get in
trouble for thought crimes.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
So it's like it's like minority reporting crimes you have committed, not.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Committed, Okay, the possibility that you might be considering it.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
So what you're saying is that the instant you take
your wedding vows, your wife becomes a.
Speaker 6 (27:05):
Precog's pretty much okay.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
Pretty much. Twalla knows this is true. I've told them
from the story. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
No, Look, and none of what I'm hearing is making
me think I should rush back into a relationship. I'm
now thankful for my single solitude.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Yeah, here we go. Here's another one.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
More than a third thirty seven percent of respond and
said they would directly confront their partner if they noticed
their significant other hiding their phone password. Well, what else
are you supposed to do with your phone password? That's
why they call it a password. It's not for everyone
to have.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Yeah, there's a weird codependence angle with sharing all that
stuff with each other.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
I don't get that my wife has a pass word
on her phone. I don't trip. I have a password
on my phone. She doesn't trip in that regard. It's
kind of like all phones have passes words. Well, you
live with each other, how much are you gonna get
away with? Stop making sense? I mean, it's been done.
I'm not saying it hasn't been done, but I mean,
(28:09):
you're there, You're choosing to be there. I don't think
that having a password on your phone and other couples
may disagree is a sign that you have crossed the line.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
Wait wait, twallata of that? M No, no, no, no, well
what no, I'm hearing you. I just I know that
there are people who think otherwise. I'm like those people.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Well, there's that whole continuum of possessive, jealous, controlling behavior.
And I know couples who they share all that stuff
with each other and they won't even let each other
like dance with anybody at a at a company event
or a reunion or anything like Mike Pence.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Oh yeah, mother, I forgot about mother. No.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
I have friends who have shared Facebook accounts and it's
so weird because I don't know if I'm talking to
him or her.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Wait what that's kind of sick? Share? How kid?
Speaker 5 (29:00):
You not?
Speaker 2 (29:01):
There's a common couple Facebook account that they both use,
and I don't want to use their real name because
they're real people.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
And wife.
Speaker 7 (29:10):
That's the codependency that Mark's talking about, Like, that's that's
that's over the line the other way.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Yeah, I mean, if that's what they're into, fine, but
it's not usually equal like that. There's usually some person
who's like, h set me free.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
All I know is it's really really complicated now to
figure out where a lot of these lines are. Things
that I thought were rather innocuous, rather innocent, no no
intent attached at all, are considered cheating. To back up
Mark's point, Uh, men are going to look at porn
and if you think that's cheating, well, no one is faithful.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
Can I say it out loud? Can I tell the truth? Yeah? Testify?
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Yeah, we've all gotten that. Like smack on the shoulder,
like she looks like somebody you'd like, you bastard, Oh
my gosh, get out of my life.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
Yeah, yeah, she.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Looks like you're tight. Yeah, what are you supposed to do?
Agree or disagree? Because either answer is wrong. It's a
kobayashi muru. You cannot cannot win, cannot win. That's why
I just stop talking. I Am six forty, We're live
everywhere in I Heart Radio app.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
And before we get out of here, just want to
let you know that tomorrow you hear it in the promo,
but tomorrow we will be oh I guess, doing the
latter half of the State of the Union broadcast. KFI
will be carrying that live and we'll have that for you.
The President is supposed to speak sometime between six and
six thirty. There's no telling on when he's going to begin,
(30:48):
whether he'll be on time, definitely, no idea how long
he will be speaking, but we will have that for
you live, and we'll give you some analysis afterward and
wrap it up. But that's where I actually wanted to
center my remarks from my final thought tonight.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Because it's a political nerd.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
I watch all the State of the Unions, and tomorrow
is the State of the Union, and usually they are
boring as all get out, and they reveal very little
about the president or future of our nation. Usually they're
pretty pro forma and pretty predictable. Tomorrow, I'm sure that
the State of the Union will be absolutely none of that.
(31:27):
Given the moment we're in and the president we have,
this is the Trump administration two point zero. It's going
to be very different than the first time around. You
can bet we're gonna hear about tariffs. We'll hear about
the pausing of aid to Ukraine and the process of
slashing supposed waste from the federal government. I don't have
to be psychic. You don't have to be psychic. Psychic,
(31:49):
you know that that's going to be a part of
the state of the Union. You can also bet that
Republicans will stand and applaud every single word that President
Trump offers, and Democrats will sit on their hands. Accordingly,
one side of the House will go up and the
other side will sit down. There will be zero unity
or conciliation. We're going to be as partisan as ever.
Tomorrow will be no different. There will also likely be
(32:11):
insults and past grievances in the speech.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
You can bet on that as well.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
You can also bet that Elon Musk will be in
the House, probably in a baseball cap and T shirt.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Hell, he might even take the podium and say a
few words. Who knows.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Maybe he'll even have his kid on his shoulders. Again,
probably white be more boogers on the furniture. Who knows.
He does have fourteen kids to choose from, so it
shouldn't be difficult to find at least one rug rat
to use as a prop But that's a digression. But
unlike the other joint sessions of Congress, this is an
exceptionally consequential moment. It will define our foreign policy, which
(32:50):
most likely will lead to the expansion of Russia. Trump
may even reaffirm his desire for the United States to
leave NATO, not joking, and in doing so, rendering Article
five moot. You know, that's the principle that an attack
on one is an attack on all, and if we
leave NATO, that would mean we would no longer be
part of the all. It would also mean that Russia
(33:11):
could expand beyond Ukraine and into the Balkans or into
Poland without interference from the US. How better to get
the Soviet Union band back together. But here's the truth.
There is zero intersection of Russian and American geopolitical interests.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
Zero.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Maybe in a Trump personal sense, but not in a
foreign policy America first sense. Russia sides with North Korea
and China for starters. That hasn't changed. They are by
definition our adversaries and have been for decades. Secretary of
Defense Pete Hegseth has called for Cyber Command to stand
down on all Russia operations. It's more than slightly odd
(33:57):
that in no way makes America safer or in alignment
with American interests. Who in the hell announces that that
we're standing down on investigations. The President may even call
tomorrow night for easing of sanctions against Russia, just even
despite its invasion of Ukraine, which some people try to
argue Ukraine brought it on themselves is to dress they
(34:20):
were wearing, even despite its continued interference in American elections. This,
combined with the pause on Ukrainian ad a reasonable person,
and again I like dealing with reasonable people, but a
reasonable person would come to the conclusion that the President
is putting Russia first in not America. Who tells an
adversary or even an ally that they're lessening security in
(34:41):
regard to the country publicly, who.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
Are you really protecting?
Speaker 2 (34:47):
But regardless, I expect fireworks because the President is promoting
the speech like an episode of The Apprentice, you know,
because ratings and entertainment seemingly are far more important in
twenty twenty five than govern Tomorrow Tuesday should be a
tumultuous day from the stock market to the state of
the Union.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
But here's the truth.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
None of this is a game or a TV show,
even though a game show host might be up there.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
Speaking for KFI AM six forty, I'm O Kelly. What
you need to know and when you need to know it.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
KFI and the KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County
Speaker 4 (35:25):
Live everywhere on the ear radiop
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
And it was a very light box office weekend. There
were no major movies released, probably because all of Hollywood
was doing the Oscars thing and you don't have the
people available to either promote movies or do interviews. It's
not a good weekend for anyone to release any major movie,
and so you didn't have much change in the top
(00:27):
ten movies. Now, there was one entrant by the name
of Last Breath, not even familiar with that movie is about.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
That's the Woody Harrelson one about the underwater rescue, the
deep sea rescue. Yeah, that nobody cared about.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
But it had a decent week It came in at
number two, brought in seven point eight million domestically and
just about five hundred and thirty seven thousand internationally, so
there's not a wide presence internationally, so brought it an
eight point three million overall. To come in at number two.
Number three was The Monkey, which actually added twenty seven
(01:01):
theaters and it brought in six point four million, and
it's worldwide gross is thirty one million. Again, it's light
weekend for any of these movies. Paddington in Peru came
in fourth at four point five million worldwide gross of
one hundred and sixty four million. Number five is dog Man.
(01:21):
We had talked about that four point two million this
week for a worldwide gross of one hundred and thirteen million.
No big movies with exception of the number one movie,
Captain America Brave New World. Good news, bad news. Depending
on how you spin it. You could say, hey, Captain
America Brave New World was number one for the third
week in a row. It brought in fourteen point eight
(01:43):
million domestically, and it's you know, it's not a worldwide hit,
but it's not doing poorly either. He has one hundred
and sixty three million domestically, one hundred and seventy eight internationally,
worldwide gross of three hundred and forty two million. I'm
quite sure Disney would like to see it. It hit
at least four hundred million. Here's the problem in regard
(02:04):
to that, it is now going to start losing theaters.
It lost three hundred and five theaters this past week,
now down to thirty eight hundred. That drop is going
to be steeper in the coming weeks as they move
out most of these movies which are in theaters for
three weeks or more, but it still has an outside chance.
Moufossa the Lion King came in at number six with
(02:26):
one point nine million. It's total is now seven hundred
and six million, nine hundred and sixty about seven hundred
and seven million.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
I put those two movies together to let you.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Know you can see Moufasa the Lion King has been
in theaters for eleven weeks, meaning if not for the
Disney movies, your favorite movie theater is doing bupkiss in
business period point blank.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
And there's still nothing coming out in the coming weeks
that it's really going to kick Captain America Brave in
the world out of the top five. So I believe
it'll hit that four hundreds because it is doing very
good overseas and still, regardless of all the hate that
it is receiving here in the US, is still thriving.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I try to remind people Disney is a worldwide company.
They're making movies for the world, not just flyover country,
and even though you may not like Disney or the
movies that it's offering, it is in your best interests
to root for, not against, otherwise your favorite local mom
and pop theater will be gone without Disney and their
(03:40):
movies period.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
Point flank real quick, and I'm sorry I have to
interrupt this weekend box office update because I spent the
weekend binge watching quite possibly one of the best shows
out there made You did not lie. I completed my
homework assignment finally, and I caught up with Paradise Man.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I was look, I didn't ask if Stephan has caught
up and done the most recent assignments.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
He started off early, but you know, I don't know
if you finished.
Speaker 6 (04:11):
Wait, folks, I beach you well, yeah, I mean I
caught all the way up.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
I could not stop watching yesterday.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
I skipped the Oscars all day because I was in
my room in the dark watching it like pins and needles.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
That's awesome. The penultimate episode, the episode seven, Oh my god,
episode eight is tonight.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
I think it comes out at midnight tonight or it's
available at midnight.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
I plan to watch that.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
And the only thing with penultimate episodes, which are so
very good, usually there's.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
A letdown for the finale.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
This last episode could have very easily been the season finale,
and they could until you told me it was, and
also it was acknowledged last week stars Sterley K. Brown,
and I don't want to give away the meaning of
how he did it, but he publicized that season two
had already been greenlit.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Well, he's one of the executive producers. Yes, so that's
probably He's like, look, as one of the executive producers,
I'm proud of this. I'm gonna go on out and
put it out there and say, yeah, man, we did this.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
It's a hell of a start. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
And what scares me is it's going to be hard
to keep up the intensity, the pace, the tension of
season one because everything is about revelation.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
There's a very narrow aperture.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
You don't get to see the fullness of the story,
and they've been slowly revealing things, and probably by the
end of season one they will have revealed the major
aspects of the story, the backstories, the players, the importance
of who and so and so is, and what they're
going to mean going forward.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
I don't know if you can do that in season two.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
There are some things they introduce and you can't say
about it, can't give it away, but there are some
major plot lines that they introduce that impact the world
we're seeing from the outside looking in, and I think
that that will be a major, major or play a
major role in a coming season, because now I'm curious
(06:21):
as to what else is there.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
This series, for me, was so good. I would have
loved to have seen a movie version of it. I
would have loved to have seen how this could have
played out as a two and a half hour movie. Yeah,
some things would have been left out, but I would
have been okay with that. What's say you, Mark, I'd.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Say, if you leave out the kids, that'd be fine
with me, and you could boil it down to a
movie real easy. I'm wary of a second season because
this was such a solid first season and I think
it shows like Lost or that Stephen King under the Dome,
which after a while you just kind of felt like
you were getting jerked around. And I don't know how
they improve on this. I see diminishing turns happening if
(07:00):
they're not super careful.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
The problem with a lot of these shows, and again
I don't want to be too specific. There is a goal,
you know, if you In other words, the only way
the show can end is with a very dramatic ending
either happy or sad. The whole show, like Loss for example,
or even from you're moving towards a specific goal lost,
(07:24):
getting home, from getting home, and you know that's the
goal from like episode one or two. This show is
similar in that regard, where you're pressing towards a revelation
and either they keep teasing that and keeping you away
from it, or they give it to you when the
show's over.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Yeah, the show hinges on a revelation about the setting.
And I'm not going to say anything more than that.
I think there are ways you could engineer it and
write it so that you could keep it fresh for
a while in that setting. But the clock's ticking now
that we know the score.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Yeah, I three season since maximum, and that might even
be too long.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Oh that's a stretch, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Yeah, they may milk it for the third season just
for money purposes. But you can see how a show
would fall off because you can't. That's when you start
seeing those filler episodes, those throwaway episodes where you didn't
learn anything, you didn't feel the story was moved forward
because you run out of a story to tell.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Heavy on flashback or something like that right.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Well, they already are, and the flashbacks constitute fully half
of the plot that we see. And that's fine because
it doesn't seem like it's a time waster yet, like
there were a lot of things, especially if you remember Lost,
like you would wonder, well, we just spent this whole
episode with son and her her husband. What was that
(08:44):
other than getting to know them better and filling out
character that doesn't advance the plot.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
We haven't had that yet.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
There are other characters in this story that we've not
seen their backstories yet. I expect those flashbacks to be
coming next season.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
There are consequential.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Characters without calling them out, we don't know where they
were as of episode seven.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
And okay, well we'll talk off Mike because there's a
major character who saw who took the thing, and I
need to know more about that character he saw he said,
I remember you, you were there, you took the thing.
I need to know more about him because I believe
that his mental health is a mislead.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
And we didn't see that person. How that person got
to the destination.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Where people are right now. Yes, that was a conspicuous
absence and all that. Yes, So we don't want to
give away anything. If you haven't started watching Paradise, just
watch the first episode. I promise you you just watched
the first episode. If you like the first episode, you'll
be fine the rest of the series. If you don't
like the first episode, then you not really wasted anything.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Yeah, man, it's.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Later with more Kelly six forty Live Everywhere in the
iHeartRadio App. I have bad news for Twala and Mark
when we come back. Depending on how old your DVDs
are and where you got them from, they may be
useless and you may not even know it.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Kelly Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Maybe you are
a person who doesn't feel confident about keeping digital media,
or maybe you just prefer physical media to have something
to hold on to. We've had many discussions about how
DVDs usually have content that.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Digital media does not.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Like if I want to watch The Avengers that I
can watch some of the deleted scenes, it's not going
to have as much content on it as the physical
DVD would or the Blu Ray. Come to find out, well,
your DVDs may also be temporary. For example, virtually every
(11:09):
Warner Brothers DVD disc manufacture between two thousand and six
and two thousand and eight has to come to what
they call laser rot where discs simply stop working due
to a rotting of the layers or lasers. Once it happens,
it can't be undone. Well, we do know it was
a frequent problem with laser discs back in the eighties
(11:31):
and nineties, but it wasn't a huge problem with DVDs
until now, and it can't be undone. So all those
DVDs that you might have purchased during the early portion
of the two thousands, especially if it happens to be
Warner Brothers and they have an extensive library, I'm quite sure, Tula,
(11:52):
you have a lot of Warner Brothers.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
DVD come my Matrix collection alone. Yep, yep.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
I think that there's going to have to be a
class action lawsuit against Warner Brothers for manufacturing such faulty DVDs,
and the payout will be in digital free digital downloads.
If I pop in a single one of my Warner
(12:18):
Brothers DVDs, any of my Warner collects, I'm talking about
Lord of the Rings, anything anything my DC Animated Universe,
all of that stuff that I have on DVD with
a special deleted scenes, and especially the additional mini episode
or many thirty minute all that Warner Brothers class action lawsuit.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
He's going to the trunk. I don't understand. Well, put
us away.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
We thought when we had the CD ROMs and DVDs
and the Blu rays, that we were moving into a
period of technology one away from analog and two did
not have to worry about the decay or degrading like
analog media did. That was supposed to be the upside
of DVDs and CDs for that matter.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
And come to find out now they have the same
shelf life for the most part. Well, I don't know
how much into the weeds of this you want to get.
I actually I do a lot of homework on this
because I've got an insane massive library and I'm still
accumulating stuff because apparently I've got some kind of out
of control OCD. There's no perfect way to store any
of this stuff. You could store it on hard drives,
(13:23):
but there's a debate now about whether you want it
on a solid state driver or the kind of the
moving discs. If those go bad, and both kinds do,
then everything's lost. You can you know, if you have
tuala your discs and you're worried about the laser rot
on them, you can rip them and reburn them, or
rip them and store them on a disc. But every however,
(13:43):
many number of years, depending on the individual thing and
the environment that you store it in, those are variables.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Well, it seems like you're saying there is no fail safe,
there is no guarantee about preserving any of this media.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
There isn't.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
But I would still infinitely prefer to own a piece
of physical media than ever trusted corporation with a digital
download that I have quote bought, because you never fully
own those.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Ever now you don't.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
No, I agree, you don't fully own them. You just
have the right to view them, which is completely different.
I mean trust and believe. My entire Apple iTunes music
catalog is gone. I can't even access this thing anymore.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
And I downloaded I don't know how many songs, albums
with liner notes, all that stuff, and I can't access
you paid for I paid for that.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
I paid for that. I lost my.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
iTunes collection many years ago, just going from one computer
to the next it's you just can't access it.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
It's gone.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Yeah, But I didn't have an extensive DVD collection. I'm
more of the mind I would rather have the digital media,
which for me is probably easier to transfer than a DVD,
which is probably more cumbersome.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
I have the digital downloads. I got a lot.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
My digital library is pretty extensive, and there's a lot
of things that I got because I want to watch
it at the radar.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
I don't want to have.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
To go and dig through the DVDs and pull out
the Laker displayer and all there. There's some things I'm
just like, eh, I want to own and just watch
when I want to watch it.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
But I have some things.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
I have some things that are absolute classics on DVD.
I'm talking things you can't find anywhere at all.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Well, they still play though.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
The last time I pulled something out, yes, he did.
Like the last time I pulled something out.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
It was my.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
Anniversary edition of Flash Gordon. I got a copy of that,
really yeah. I bought it a Comic Condos. It was
a limited edition and it came with a Flash Gordon
action figure with the khaki pants and the white T
shirt with the Flash on the front. And it came
with a football. It was like a super case. The
deal is DV with the bonus DVD and another and
(16:02):
oh oh and I had a music I had a CD,
so I had a soundtrack too, so it came with
the soundtrack, the DVD and the bonus cuts DVD.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
That's how they're appealing. That's how they're staying in business.
That's how these companies are surviving, which is making these bespoke,
extra jam packed, super special editions of movies that they
know have a built in audience. Like I just I
pre ordered a super duper special edition of Scanners, the
David Cronenberg movie.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
That's look, that's a cult classic.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
I'm actually open to them remaking with special effects today.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Oh I think it's perfect in every respect and I
wouldn't want to see it remade. But your mileage may
very They made a series of cheaper and cheaper sequels
to it that I wasn't that interested in. But you know,
that's from an Australian company called Second Site, and it's
like forty five bucks with another twenty of postage. But
you don't get that stuff with downloads. There is one
(16:56):
streaming service I know of that has extras. It's called
Arrow and it's a cult streaming label, and if you
haven't checked it out, it's worth like paying what seven
bucks tried out for a month. They have the extras,
like they'll have the movie and then you can watch
the movie with the commentary track or interviews. But that's
the exception, not the rule. I like the commentary tracks.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
When I was in my late teens early twenties, I
used to collect analogue cassette tapes, albums.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
I had, you.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Know, walls of cassette tapes, and then I realized I
felt like I was getting too attached to physical media.
I didn't ever want to feel like I was beholden
to just collecting stuff and worrying about it and having
a degrade what have you. So I just stopped collecting.
I don't collect much of anything, Like I'm not a
clothes horse. I don't have a lot of shoes. Even
(17:46):
the music I have, I don't even because of when
I lost my iTunes collection. I'd rather just go to
YouTube and play stuff or Spotify. When I have the
desire to hear something, It's always available, so I don't
feel the need to purchase or keep it anything I
feel that way more so with music, but I also
like to be surrounded by things that bring me comfort
when the world is crumbling.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Yeah, what about the long suffering one? She's one of
those things. I keep her on a shelf.
Speaker 6 (18:14):
Okay, you know she's who knows that's not at all?
What kind of what kind of loved you? Bo a
locker and just hope to hear it.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
That part.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
We'll find out very soon because she'll text him kf
I am six forty and with that Mark Ronner, when
we come back, Mark Ronner, we don't find out where's
the line how Americans define cheating in modern relationships.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
I don't see what this has to do with me.
Let's go to the news. We're live everywhere in the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
And I saw this article at studyfines dot org, and
it intrigued me because our attitudes about relationships and the
complexity in which we develop relationships has changed so much.
I wonder what people find as going over the line.
I'm actually curious. And I listened to the dating stories
(19:13):
of people who are younger than me what they consider
sex is what they consider cheating to be. And it's
a real different world from when I was coming along.
And because when I was coming along in Tula and Mark,
there weren't things like online dating, not or began. During
(19:33):
that time. There wasn't texting per se. You didn't have
the access to other people like you do now. You
didn't have these dating night apps where you just swipe
left or right you could hook up with someone.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
It was much more involved.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
But this article talked about where is the line how
Americans define cheating in modern relationships and in trying to
protect the innocent and the guilty for their matter. I'm
just going to speak about this hypothetically. Got to make
sure I gotta stay married. And Mark Ronner, he's trying
to keep himself and getting kicked out of the house,
(20:08):
So tread lightly. Yes, we're gonna be very general here, Twalla.
You can go buck Wold Stephan. I don't know his status,
but you know I don't want to get myself in
trouble here. For example, it's flirting with the barista who
makes your boarding coffee a betrayal of your partner. And
I would say, what is flirting? Are you being polite?
(20:29):
Is that a smile or you like you're throwing a wink?
How do we even define flirting?
Speaker 5 (20:38):
If I go and get some coffee in the morning
and the barista is looking rather fetching that morning, and
I say, hey, this coffee is hot, but not as
hot as you.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
That's flirting. I would say, if you were to make
a compliment about someone's physical appearance or something which is
completely unrelated to why you are there, then I think
that would be the line. Like, if you haven't met the.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Barista, you don't know the barisa, you don't have any
real report. You say, Hey, that outfit looks good on you.
I think you cross the line there in that particular instance.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
Whoa I mean if I mean, that's such an innocent
thing to say.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Look, I'm not going to just comment on people's like clothing,
not if they're wearing the same uniform as Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
I mean, you look good.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
That apron looks good on you, barista, babe.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
You know, I don't know see that.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
I don't know if barista is a good choice because
most of us we know the barista, we know the
place we go.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Okay, all right, here we go talker research and commissioned
by Leelo. They're talking about these gray areas of relationship
fidelity and considering behaviors like harmless flirting fifty one percent,
chatting with an x sixty percent, and watching adult videos
twenty three eighty as forms of cheating. So when you
(22:05):
mark Ronner hypothetically, hypothetically.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Just put the brakes on this, Okay, if roc monor
Okay work to be milot Finn, we're to be in
a relationship, however you define relationship, and we're to open
up porn hub that to some.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Is considered cheating almost one in four. I don't quite
follow that line of thinking, but I'm just telling you
what respondents have said.
Speaker 5 (22:36):
Does rock monor keep their significant other one on the shelf?
Speaker 3 (22:42):
I'm not sure I appreciate any of this, but I mean,
approximately ninety nine percent of men have looked at porn
at some point and the other one percent or liars.
So this is like, you know, being being angry with
the tie is coming in. I don't I don't understand
(23:02):
what the issue is here. The tithes that come and
they go so to speak, yes, thank you for that, Okay.
When it comes to adult film, specifically, those with strong
feelings on the matter say that fifty of those respondents
believe that racy content should be banned altogether once a
relationship becomes serious.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Good luck with that.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Sixty percent of those surveyed considered chatting with an ex
partner as crossing the line. In more than half fifty
one percent.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
Do you what?
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Many dismissed a harmless flirting as the betrayal of trust. See,
flirting is so vague. I'm not trying to you know,
not trying to you know, trying to game the system.
But how do people define flirting? Are you talking about
flirting with intent or like someone like every man knows
when a when a woman is looking at him, you know, looking.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
And if you smile back, is that flirting? Have you
crossed the line there?
Speaker 2 (24:01):
I'm not talking about asking for a number, just like
you know, winking or not, Like, yeah, i'd blow your
back out.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
I can't see how anybody to have a problem with that.
Speaker 7 (24:13):
No, but kind of like I know, going back to barisas,
But I mean you get to know them because you
see the same people every day and sometimes you do
have like legit conversations. But yeah, I think if you
comment on something that, like you said, does not have
to do with being there. That kind of would cross
the line. But as far as being looked at, I'm
bad at that. Like if you say to.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
A barista, Hey, I like the way you're filling out
that Starbucks mermaid. That's that's flirting. That seems like it
would be flirting.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Yes, I think if you are trying to elicit some
sort of response, then you've crossed the line, even if
you don't even plan to follow up. Yeah, you kind
of know where that line is. It's like, damn, you
look good in that skirt. Now, you may have no
intention of falling up, but you know, your significant other, wife, girlfriend, whatever,
(25:02):
it's probably going to have an issue with that.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
You'd have to be clinically insane to say that to
somebody in front of your wife. Yes, yeah, look, I
mean that's kind of the benchmark right there. If it's
something you wouldn't say or do in front of the wife,
it's probably not kosher.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Oh, let me put myself in this conversation. Oh please, please,
I don't even have to say anything. All I have
to do is just if she thinks that the woman
is my type, I'm in trouble.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Oh, preach, listen, listen.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
I get in trouble for women saying nice things to me, right,
and so for days or weeks or sometimes even years afterwards,
I'll hear in a mocking voice.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
Mark, would you like a bottle of water? Or you
know something like that. You know, the only reason my
wife comes to like our remotes.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
You don't even need to finish this ues to support me,
just to plan a flag, that's all.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Yeah, that's all you know.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
And if I'm nice to a listener, it's like, hmm,
that's her response to everything.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
Mmm, I love it.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Oh you know that?
Speaker 4 (26:14):
So so she was very nice. Hmm, that's what you like.
That's the code. It's always that.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
It's always that I am constantly getting scapegoaded and uh
de facto punished for perceived behaviors of other people towards
me when I'm just standing there and I'm like, what
what did I do?
Speaker 4 (26:33):
Mark? You want some some cream for your coffee?
Speaker 3 (26:37):
What?
Speaker 4 (26:38):
I didn't initiate anything? The Lord have mercy.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Look wait wait, wait, wait until you get married, Mark,
assuming that you one day get married, you get in
trouble for thought crimes.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
So it's like it's like minority reporting crimes you have committed, not.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Committed, Okay, the possibility that you might be considering it.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
So what you're saying is that the instant you take
your wedding vows, your wife becomes a.
Speaker 6 (27:05):
Precog's pretty much okay.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
Pretty much. Twalla knows this is true. I've told them
from the story. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
No, Look, and none of what I'm hearing is making
me think I should rush back into a relationship. I'm
now thankful for my single solitude.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Yeah, here we go. Here's another one.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
More than a third thirty seven percent of respond and
said they would directly confront their partner if they noticed
their significant other hiding their phone password. Well, what else
are you supposed to do with your phone password? That's
why they call it a password. It's not for everyone
to have.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Yeah, there's a weird codependence angle with sharing all that
stuff with each other.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
I don't get that my wife has a pass word
on her phone. I don't trip. I have a password
on my phone. She doesn't trip in that regard. It's
kind of like all phones have passes words. Well, you
live with each other, how much are you gonna get
away with? Stop making sense? I mean, it's been done.
I'm not saying it hasn't been done, but I mean,
(28:09):
you're there, You're choosing to be there. I don't think
that having a password on your phone and other couples
may disagree is a sign that you have crossed the line.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
Wait wait, twallata of that? M No, no, no, no, well
what no, I'm hearing you. I just I know that
there are people who think otherwise. I'm like those people.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Well, there's that whole continuum of possessive, jealous, controlling behavior.
And I know couples who they share all that stuff
with each other and they won't even let each other
like dance with anybody at a at a company event
or a reunion or anything like Mike Pence.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Oh yeah, mother, I forgot about mother. No.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
I have friends who have shared Facebook accounts and it's
so weird because I don't know if I'm talking to
him or her.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Wait what that's kind of sick? Share? How kid?
Speaker 5 (29:00):
You not?
Speaker 2 (29:01):
There's a common couple Facebook account that they both use,
and I don't want to use their real name because
they're real people.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
And wife.
Speaker 7 (29:10):
That's the codependency that Mark's talking about, Like, that's that's
that's over the line the other way.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Yeah, I mean, if that's what they're into, fine, but
it's not usually equal like that. There's usually some person
who's like, h set me free.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
All I know is it's really really complicated now to
figure out where a lot of these lines are. Things
that I thought were rather innocuous, rather innocent, no no
intent attached at all, are considered cheating. To back up
Mark's point, Uh, men are going to look at porn
and if you think that's cheating, well, no one is faithful.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
Can I say it out loud? Can I tell the truth? Yeah? Testify?
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Yeah, we've all gotten that. Like smack on the shoulder,
like she looks like somebody you'd like, you bastard, Oh
my gosh, get out of my life.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
Yeah, yeah, she.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Looks like you're tight. Yeah, what are you supposed to do?
Agree or disagree? Because either answer is wrong. It's a
kobayashi muru. You cannot cannot win, cannot win. That's why
I just stop talking. I Am six forty, We're live
everywhere in I Heart Radio app.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
And before we get out of here, just want to
let you know that tomorrow you hear it in the promo,
but tomorrow we will be oh I guess, doing the
latter half of the State of the Union broadcast. KFI
will be carrying that live and we'll have that for you.
The President is supposed to speak sometime between six and
six thirty. There's no telling on when he's going to begin,
(30:48):
whether he'll be on time, definitely, no idea how long
he will be speaking, but we will have that for
you live, and we'll give you some analysis afterward and
wrap it up. But that's where I actually wanted to
center my remarks from my final thought tonight.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Because it's a political nerd.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
I watch all the State of the Unions, and tomorrow
is the State of the Union, and usually they are
boring as all get out, and they reveal very little
about the president or future of our nation. Usually they're
pretty pro forma and pretty predictable. Tomorrow, I'm sure that
the State of the Union will be absolutely none of that.
(31:27):
Given the moment we're in and the president we have,
this is the Trump administration two point zero. It's going
to be very different than the first time around. You
can bet we're gonna hear about tariffs. We'll hear about
the pausing of aid to Ukraine and the process of
slashing supposed waste from the federal government. I don't have
to be psychic. You don't have to be psychic. Psychic,
(31:49):
you know that that's going to be a part of
the state of the Union. You can also bet that
Republicans will stand and applaud every single word that President
Trump offers, and Democrats will sit on their hands. Accordingly,
one side of the House will go up and the
other side will sit down. There will be zero unity
or conciliation. We're going to be as partisan as ever.
Tomorrow will be no different. There will also likely be
(32:11):
insults and past grievances in the speech.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
You can bet on that as well.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
You can also bet that Elon Musk will be in
the House, probably in a baseball cap and T shirt.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Hell, he might even take the podium and say a
few words. Who knows.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Maybe he'll even have his kid on his shoulders. Again,
probably white be more boogers on the furniture. Who knows.
He does have fourteen kids to choose from, so it
shouldn't be difficult to find at least one rug rat
to use as a prop But that's a digression. But
unlike the other joint sessions of Congress, this is an
exceptionally consequential moment. It will define our foreign policy, which
(32:50):
most likely will lead to the expansion of Russia. Trump
may even reaffirm his desire for the United States to
leave NATO, not joking, and in doing so, rendering Article
five moot. You know, that's the principle that an attack
on one is an attack on all, and if we
leave NATO, that would mean we would no longer be
part of the all. It would also mean that Russia
(33:11):
could expand beyond Ukraine and into the Balkans or into
Poland without interference from the US. How better to get
the Soviet Union band back together. But here's the truth.
There is zero intersection of Russian and American geopolitical interests.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
Zero.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Maybe in a Trump personal sense, but not in a
foreign policy America first sense. Russia sides with North Korea
and China for starters. That hasn't changed. They are by
definition our adversaries and have been for decades. Secretary of
Defense Pete Hegseth has called for Cyber Command to stand
down on all Russia operations. It's more than slightly odd
(33:57):
that in no way makes America safer or in alignment
with American interests. Who in the hell announces that that
we're standing down on investigations. The President may even call
tomorrow night for easing of sanctions against Russia, just even
despite its invasion of Ukraine, which some people try to
argue Ukraine brought it on themselves is to dress they
(34:20):
were wearing, even despite its continued interference in American elections. This,
combined with the pause on Ukrainian ad a reasonable person,
and again I like dealing with reasonable people, but a
reasonable person would come to the conclusion that the President
is putting Russia first in not America. Who tells an
adversary or even an ally that they're lessening security in
(34:41):
regard to the country publicly, who.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
Are you really protecting?
Speaker 2 (34:47):
But regardless, I expect fireworks because the President is promoting
the speech like an episode of The Apprentice, you know,
because ratings and entertainment seemingly are far more important in
twenty twenty five than govern Tomorrow Tuesday should be a
tumultuous day from the stock market to the state of
the Union.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
But here's the truth.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
None of this is a game or a TV show,
even though a game show host might be up there.
Speaker 4 (35:12):

you need to know and when you need to know it.
