Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's Friday Nights Natica Della. It was on Later with
Mo Kelly.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Heller, Mo Kelly, how are you Hella?
Speaker 4 (00:12):
Tell the story? You gotta tell the story?
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (00:15):
So Mo Kelly was just said a big Heller because
I was distracting Steph and I apologize.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
That was very unprofessional myself.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
But we were in this really deep conversation and then
we heard Hiller.
Speaker 5 (00:28):
And then we were like, oh, snap, see did I
tell you Stephan doesn't even pay attention to the show.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
He's just doing his own thing. Oh boy, true.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Yes, So sorry, sorry Moe and sorry Steph. I apologize.
So check this out for Discover so Calm. Yesterday, I
have the chance to visit the nether Cup Museum. Has
anyone been there at all?
Speaker 4 (00:48):
I have not.
Speaker 6 (00:49):
No.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Well, it is a gem in Silmar that felt like
stepping into a time machine of automotive history. From the
moment I walked in, I was surrounded by some of
the most stunning and meticulously restored classic cars I have
ever seen. Now, the oldest car I saw was way
before it was made, way before our parents, a nineteen
(01:11):
o five Buick Model C, a nineteen oh seven Westinghouse
and a nineteen eleven Franklin Model H limousine, which was
the first limousine that was ever made. Now, it was
a masterpiece craftsmanship from a bygone era.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
It was beautiful.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Every car in the museum. Museum has a detailed description
in front of it, listing the year that it was made,
the make, and the original price, and also the original owner.
The level of the preservation is absolutely incredible, and these
cars look like they just rolled off the showroom floor
(01:51):
with flawless paint jobs, gleaming chrome where you could just
just put your face on it and you could see
every little pour in your face. And even a spare
tire of firestone tires that were the size of like
swimming pool inner tubes. That's how the tires used to
be back in the days now. The nether Cup Museum
and Collection was founded by JB. Nethercut, co founder of
(02:15):
Merle Norman Cosmetics, who had a deep passion for restoring
and preserving vintage automobiles. What started as a personal collection
in the nineteen fifties evolved into a world class museum
featuring over two hundred and fifty anti classics and special
interest cars. Many of them have won top awards at
(02:39):
prestigious events like the Pebble Beach Concourse de Elegance. The
museum is also split in two sections now the five
dollars admission nether cut museum side, where visitors can just
kind of what I did, roam around and look at
all the historic automobiles. And then there's the twenty dollars tour,
which you have to make a reservation, but you go
upstairs where they have like serious classic cars that I
(03:03):
didn't do, but I'm planning on doing that next time
I go. Now, one of the standouts of the exhibits
for me was the massive vintage fire truck sitting among
the classic cars. It was a towering, beautifully restore piece
of firefighting history with bright red pain polished brass fittings
and an old school hand cranked siren. Can you just imagine,
(03:27):
you know, how you see those in the movies? That
was it was there. It was absolutely beautiful. I don't
know how they handled the fires back then, but I
tell you that the evolution of the fire truck has
definitely come to where I could say it's a little
bit more productive now. If you're a fan of vintage automobiles, history,
(03:49):
or just love seeing beautiful preserved craftsmanships, I have to
tell you the nether Cup Museum is a must visit.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Whether you want to.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Admire a rare Bugatti, which, oh was beautiful, or an
antique fire truck.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I tell you it's it's a place that.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
You definitely want to go if you want to learn
a little bit about history and a little bit about
you know, how the engines and the parts of the
cars we were made.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
And there's so much to see. So if you go
to the museum, make.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Sure you look at the walls, you look at the cabinets,
you look at the displays, and you look at all
the little signs that say, like I said, the year
of the.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Car, how much it costs?
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Cars back then were like five hundred and forty five dollars.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
You can't get a used lemon for that.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Adona Oswala got a car for six hundred dollars.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
He just told us last night what he got a
car for six hundred dollars. He ought to tell you
the experience afterward, but okay, okay, you'll never do it again.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
But if you would like to go, the neother Cut
Museum is at one five one five to one Bledsoe
Street in Silmar. Now it is in a industrial area,
so unless you really know the address, you'll pass right
by it. And for more information you could also log
on to nether Cutcollection dot org. That's nether Cutcollection dot
(05:06):
org and it's only open Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays nine
am to four thirty.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
That's why I said I went there yesterday.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
That sounds like it would be so much fun, full
of history. And you may not know this, I love
cars in car history. One of the highlights of my
childhood was going to the Auto show with my father
almost annually and seeing classic cars, cars of the future,
the history and the timeline of cars and the different manufacturers.
(05:36):
So this is something that really interests me personally. And
you may not know this, but when I was doing
the Mokelly Show and Twaller obviously remembers this, we used
to do the Great Labor Day Car Cruise where we
would go out and you'd see all these vintage cars.
They're just cruising around the La County fair Grounds. And
it was in Pomota and it was just a great,
(05:57):
great time. So if you are like me, the nether
Cut Museum is probably Taylor made for a great time.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Absolutely, and a lot of the cars there too, were
also featured in the Rose Bowl Parade and you could
see it'll. Like I said, every description has a little story,
so it's it's amazing. But we have come a long
way with cars technology.
Speaker 6 (06:21):
Size.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
I mean, the car from nineteen oh seven was you
would need four parking.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Spots just to fit your car, just to park your car.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
The first limousine that I mentioned earlier, from nineteen eleven,
the Franklin Model H limousine, I mean, I sure.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Amazing.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
It was.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
It was probably a little bit bigger than the limousines
that we have nowadays.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
But of course, you know now we have all the
glowing lights and we have the bar and all that
other stuff.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Do you remember how many it could see roughly six?
About six?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Yeah, it was, I mean it was beautiful. I discovered
this just by searching. I was like, I want to
get out of la and then I went to Silmar
and then oh there is a train exhibit in the back.
I didn't go because it was pouring outside, and they
do two kind of walk throughs. Ones at twelve and
I think one's at three.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
And again that's the neother cut collection and you can
find it at another Cut collection dot org. That's in
e T H E R c U T T collection
dot org. I'm gonna have to track this out. Yeah,
I really am.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
You'll enjoy it.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
And admissions only five dollars a person.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Five dollars yet, and if you.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Gotta get advanced reservations, no.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
No, no, I went up for the No, you need
the reservations to go upstairs to see the classics.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Yeah, that you do that. That is like a ballroom.
It's like the Great Gasp. But you feel like you're
in the movie. It's amazing.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Five dollars in Children under ten are free.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Yes, m hm. And we like free ninety nine.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
This is something I wish I could have done with
my father.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
And also I just posted a few pictures just to
give you a tease on my Instagram at Nautica de
la Cruz, just to get through the freaky Friday stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
And you'll see the car.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
What are you talking about? Explain that Friday?
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Okay, so every Friday I do I do. It's it's
my naughty version my my naughty Nautica Freaky Friday kind
of something a little how should I say it?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
A little spicy, it's a little.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
I don't know. I need you to explain more elaborate, you.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Know, like if a man is not feeling well and
he's feeling sad, show him your boobs. So that actually
is from today, Steph, you can you can back me
up on that.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
One step or what that's why he was slow on
the draw.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Steph follows me on Instagram. So if you, you know,
if you just want to go to the cars, you
should have led give out the Freaking Friday.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
And like I said, oh, I did post the picture
of the fire truck, so it's beautiful. Definitely, it's just
a little tea. So you you could, I could get
you out there, get you out to discover.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
So Cal, I need you to be clear which subject
you were talking about, because we were talking about the cars. Yes,
then we talked about Freaky Friday, and you, for some
reason said, oh, and I posted a picture of it. And
I thought that the picture had to do a Freaky
Friday and they didn't had to do with the cars.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
The cars, yes, but I so my freaky Friday is.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Yes, it's it's little snippets of things that are that
are spicy m.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
It was pretty fun though, Yes, Stephan.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Last Way, step.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
Heller Heller, it's fun. We have Natica da la Cruz
and are hidden gym when we come back.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
It's Friday Nights went Notica de la Cruise on Later
with Moe Kelly and Today's Hidden Gem is Jared Lobo.
Jared Lobo is one of the most one of those
people you meet and you instantly know he has a
heart of gold. Growing up in Chadsworth, he was the
kid that would just couldn't walk away from a stray
animal without stopping to help. Neighbors still tell stories about
(10:05):
how he once nursed a baby possum. Oh yeah, he
did back to house after finding it alone in the backyard.
But Jared's love for animals wasn't just a childhood face.
It became his life's passion. His backyard, once a typical
suburban space, slowly turned into a mini rescue operation, filled
(10:25):
with adopted cats, rescued birds, and even on occasion, an
injured rabbit.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
One summer, Jared found a wounded hawk.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
I think it was a baby hawk, he said, near
the Chadsworth Reservoir. Most people would have just you know,
passed on by, but he picked it up, wrapped it
in his jacket, and spent hours calling different wildlife centers
until he found the right one. The moment solidified what
he already knew. He wanted to dedicate some of his
time to rescuing and rehabilitating animals. His passion led him
(11:00):
to volunteer at shelters and work with the wildlife rehabilitation programs,
where he became known for his patients skill and unwavering dedication.
And that's how he got involved with Fur and Feather
Animal Sanctuary, a no kill shelter right in his own backyard.
Fur and Feather isn't just a rescue, it's a safe
(11:21):
haven for abandoned, injured, and neglected animals who might not
have a second chance anywhere else. The organization works closely
with local shelters, taking in overflow cases and making sure
no animal is left behind, whether it's an abused dog,
a stray cad or even live stock in need of care.
Fur and feathers provides them with medical attention, rehabilitation, and,
(11:45):
when possible, a loving forever home for the animals who
can't be adopted due to medical issues or you know,
because they're seniors or behavioral challenges. Fur and Feathers offer
a permanent sanctuary, ensuring they live out their lives and
comfort and safety. The organization not only provides shelter, but
also works to educate the community about responsible pet ownership,
(12:09):
animal welfare, and rehabilitation. They host workshops, adoption fares, and
fundraising events as well, and they also have a nice,
dedicated team of volunteers and veterinarians. Fur and Feather also
provides specialized medical care, behavioral training, and socialization programs to
help animals recover from trauma. Their ultimate goal is not
(12:33):
just to rescue animals, but to create a furuture where
fewer animals need rescuing in the first place. Through Jared's
work with Fur and Feather, he's not just helping animals,
He's inspiring others to care, take action, and believe every
life is worth saving, no matter how small, no matter
how broken. You could also follow them on Instagram at
(12:56):
Fur and Feather Animal Sanctuary and if you would like
some more information either donate monetary or volunteer, or if
you know someone that has a pet that needs a
little bit of help, you could log onto furfeather dot org.
That's furfeather dot org. And one thing I love mo
talking to Jared, who is now twenty one a college student,
(13:20):
is that he kind of reminded me of my daughter.
My daughter would in the backyard. She would, you know,
pick up the premantis because it needed a home, or
she'd pick up the cricket, or you know, she'd see
a little I don't know, a you know, a ladybug.
She just it just yes, just the love of strays.
(13:41):
And I used to tell her just don't bring a
straight cat over because I'm allergic to cats. But it's
that love of animals that is instilled in children.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
You know.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Like one time we were walking and I saw this little,
bright pink thing by a tree and I was like, oh,
what is that. She said, I don't know, mom, but
it's moving. It was a baby squirrel. It had fallen
from the tree and we.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Took it home.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
I called the local rescue shelter and I said, I
don't know what it is. It looks like it could
be a squirrel. We gave it milk and whatever they
had instructed us, but it only lived like three days.
I think the fall was very it was high, the
tree was very high.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
But it's just that that's.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
When you see the love of children loving for animals,
and that's when you go as a parent.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
I did something right.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
Hopefully our kids are better than us, right. I got
to ask you very quickly, So, how did the hidden
gym come to you?
Speaker 4 (14:36):
This week?
Speaker 3 (14:37):
This one was so this is a friend of a neighbor. No,
I'm sorry, neighbor of a friend. That's how I got
in contact with Jared. And he's twenty one, he's in
college and just a very very.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Good young man.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
I absolutely love it.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
So, and speaking of a community, something that I wanted
to mention that came by my desk was DreamWorks is
doing the Birthday Party Project.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
So it is a big birthday.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Party for those who have been displaced due to the
California wildfires, but it's also very kind of catered to children.
The Greater Los Angeles Chapter of YMCA wants to invite
you the Birthday Party Project, which is going to be
happening tomorrow from two to three point thirty PM at
the DreamWorks Campus and that address is one thousand Flower
(15:28):
Street in the city of Glendale. Again one thousand Flower
Street in the City of Glendale. And the Birthday Party
Project believes that every child deserves to feel seen, known
and celebrated, and if they haven't had a chance to
celebrate their birthday because of so much going on, there
is going to be There'll be receiving a goodie bag,
(15:50):
a gift, and also there is going to be Gabby's
Dollhouse characters that will be there where you could take pictures,
and I'm sure they're going to have so much, so
much great stuff for the kids. So it's something that
the community could come together. And it is free ninety
nine as well.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
It's later with bo Kelly ca if I Am six
forty live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
With bo Kelly one.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
Six forty Hello there, Sunshine. It's the first ever picture
book from the New York Times bestselling author and Emmy
Award winning host of the kids YouTube original series tab Time.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Of course, I'm talking about Tabitha Brown.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Can I tell you something that's on my mind?
Speaker 7 (16:36):
I can very good when we listen to our friends,
we can learn new things, like I just learned that
my friend Ivy is a fruit and not a vegetable.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
It's tab Can I ask you a question?
Speaker 6 (16:49):
You can ask me anything.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Are you a fruit or vegetable?
Speaker 6 (16:53):
Ivy? I am a.
Speaker 7 (16:54):
Person, a person that doesn't sound like a broccoli or
a blueberry.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Is that why you don't have a pit like mine
that can do this?
Speaker 7 (17:06):
It sure is, and thank you for asking. We're both
pretty good listeners, aren't we? Misstabit, Yes we are.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Hello There.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
Sunshine follows young Tabitha, who wakes up ready to greet
the sun, but gets a little worried when she realizes
it's missing. From there, Tabitha embarks on an adventure through
her own neighborhood, asking everyone if they've seen the sun.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Hello.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Their Sunshine is available everywhere beginning Tuesday, March eleventh, and
its author, Tabitha Brown joins me right now on the show.
Speaker 8 (17:36):
Ms.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Brown is nice to speak to you this evening. How
are you?
Speaker 6 (17:39):
I'm doing good, honey? How are you?
Speaker 5 (17:41):
I am wonderful When I see you in your various
forms of work, I'm reminded of the many personal and
professional struggles you've endured to get to this point, you
wear many hats and use all sorts of talents and skills.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
What do you enjoy most?
Speaker 5 (17:54):
Acting, stand up comedy, writing, culinary arts, clothing, design, motherhood,
maybe something else.
Speaker 9 (18:01):
You know what, I think I enjoy just being myself
the most, right. I think that's the biggest thing, Like
being a wife, being a mom, being a daughter, like
those are That's what makes me who I am, being
a woman, and then I get to do all the
other things.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
That's the bonus.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Talk to me about writing for children.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
Yes, we were all children once upon a time, some
of us even became parents, but I would argue that
communicating with them, writing for them is a special gift.
What is it you do or use in creating this
connection with children in a media space?
Speaker 6 (18:36):
You know what? I love children.
Speaker 9 (18:38):
Of course, I'm a mama and I work with children,
you know, with my children, show tab time and writing
for children.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
I think it The biggest.
Speaker 9 (18:46):
Lesson is listening to children, but also going back into your.
Speaker 6 (18:51):
Own childhood in the childlike mindset and feelings inside.
Speaker 9 (18:56):
And so this book is all about my real childhood
and my experience with my mama because she also listened
to me. But she would also talk to me, and
so I wanted to share that in book form with
just teaching children how they have light inside of them,
which is like a superpower, right, we can transform someone's day,
(19:17):
including our own. So taking that very simple technique of
talking to children in a way that they understand, and
we put that on paper.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
So still just telling the story.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
Hello, their Sunshine available March eleventh. The sun has gone missing,
and young Tabitha set out to find it.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Take it from there.
Speaker 6 (19:38):
Yes, so this is based on my childhood.
Speaker 9 (19:41):
In my hometown in North Carolina and Eve, North Carolina,
there was a little neighborhood I lived in called River
Being And so I wake up one morning I don't
see the sun shining outside, and so I think, what's
going to happen if we don't have the sun shining.
It's a cloudy day. And I go on this journey
to find the sun. And I'm in my neighborhood. I'm
(20:03):
helping my neighbors, I'm helping my friends do things, I'm playing,
I'm bringing joy and happiness to people in the neighborhood.
But yet I still never find the sun. And at
the end of the day, I go back to my
mama and I said. She asked me, did you ever
find the sun? And I said no, I still didn't
find the sunshine today. And she says, well, what do
you do today? And I tell her all the things
(20:24):
that I did in the neighborhood with my friends and
with the neighbors, and how I helped people and made
people feel good and happy. And she said, what sounds
like you did find the sun. And in that moment,
it's a light bulb moment where I realized that I
am the sun. I was the sunshine in people's life
that day. And so kindness is sunshine. Love and joy
(20:45):
is also sunshine. And being able to spread that we
all have the power to do so. And so that's
hello there, sunshine.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
What has working in this children's space taught you about children?
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Their minds and their dreams?
Speaker 5 (21:00):
Now, this story Hello their Sunshine, may be semi autobiographical,
if you will, but I'm quite sure you'll learn something
about children more generally.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Right.
Speaker 9 (21:10):
Oh, absolutely, children are so much smarter than we realize.
Speaker 6 (21:15):
Right.
Speaker 9 (21:15):
I think that if we listen, we can always learn
from children. Most children, until a certain age have no fear.
Fear is talk.
Speaker 6 (21:25):
They have big imaginations, they're big dreamers. They're so curious.
Speaker 9 (21:29):
And I think as we get older and we become adults,
our fears, you know, start to take over, our imagination shrinks,
we start to conform into this world the people project
on us and we believe it. But children are not
like that. They believe things that are what they are.
They also have a big imagination to believe them to
(21:51):
be different and even better sometimes. And so I think
the purity of children is the most sacred thing, and
to be it's to learn from them is an honor
for me. I love learning from children every day, every day.
Speaker 5 (22:06):
My time has grown short with you, Ms Tabitha Brown.
But I know that since Hello, Their Sunshine is going
to be available on March eleventh, you might be doing
some appearances in support of this children's book, and I
understand you might be in the LA area sometime soon.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
Can you tell me about that.
Speaker 9 (22:22):
Yes, I'm gonna be That's what next Saturday. So I'll
be at Pierce College and it's partnering with Malik Books
and LAUSD So it's a big family day. We're giving
away a thousand books. It's a free event. I'm going
to do a meet and greet. Look it is free,
but you still have to go online and where.
Speaker 6 (22:39):
It is free.
Speaker 9 (22:41):
But yeah, I hope that people come out and take
pictures and share some sunshine with me.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
I gotta say, people can't see you, but I can
see the vibrancy, the joy, I will say, the glow
that you have. Where does that enthusiasm come from? For
what you do? Very quickly?
Speaker 9 (22:59):
You know what I think is guys give right that
he allows me to be a joyful spirit and gratefulness. Honey,
I'm alive and I'm happy about.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
So.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
Yeah, hello there.

has been enjoyed to talk to you and follow you
for quite some time. But it's nice to be able
to dialogue with you. I wish you nothing but the best.
Speaker 6 (23:23):
Thank you so much. I appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Hun.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
It's Later with mo Kelly if I am six forty.
We are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
kf I AM six forty.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
Mark talks about pontificates about pop culture.
Speaker 10 (23:46):
Ronner Report with Mark Ronner.
Speaker 8 (23:59):
It's Later with Mokel kf I am six forty live
everywhere on the iHeart App. I am Mark Ronner. It's
the Runner Report. We're gonna talk about Mickey seventeen opening
this weekend. You know, there's a nineteen sixty five movie
with Warren Batty called Mickey One. Oh crap, did I
miss Mickey's two through sixteen? Catching up on those? That'd
be about as tedious as catching up on the Fast
(24:19):
and Furious or Transformer movies. Twala, But I checked IMDb
and I'm in luck I didn't have to catch up
on fifteen Mickeys that I missed. In Mickey One, Warren
Batty plays a guy who goes on the run from
mobsters and hides in another city. In Mickey seventeen, Robert
Pattinson plays a guy on the run from mobsters and
hides on a big spaceship. See completely different, glad.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
I checked. Here's the trailer, and.
Speaker 8 (24:42):
We're gonna listen to a little more than usual because
there's a lot of exposition in this one.
Speaker 6 (24:47):
Hi, Nicky, are you experiencing universito? I guess I am Robert.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Pattinson in space?
Speaker 6 (24:57):
Oh wow?
Speaker 10 (24:58):
Did you see that?
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Had a meteorite takes off his hand and his toest.
Speaker 7 (25:02):
No, I wouldn't be surprised if you're thinking at this point,
what have I done?
Speaker 11 (25:06):
Oh God, nothing was working out and I wanted to
get off of hers.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
You're playing to be inexpendable. Yeah, you read through the
whole application.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
Once you die, would print a new version of your body.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
I should have read through it. They made me work
my ass off on one mission after another.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
Every time you die, we learned something new of humanity
moves forward.
Speaker 11 (25:35):
If he's life is fine, biggie.
Speaker 6 (25:48):
It's not looking very good for you.
Speaker 11 (25:50):
Yeah, I'm sure you're used to it by now.
Speaker 6 (25:54):
What's if you like to die? Give it on my
seventeenth go around?
Speaker 8 (25:59):
Hey, dying, he just saw a duplicate of himself. That's
how we'd all react.
Speaker 10 (26:16):
In the case of multiples, we exterminate every individual permanent deletion.
Speaker 6 (26:21):
Not for me.
Speaker 11 (26:23):
Let's blow up the second hand blooney boys.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
Well, you're going to do rough paper decision, and then
we'll just shoot the liser.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
That BG.
Speaker 8 (26:51):
We had to would least let the song play Mickey
seventeen is from South Korean filmmaker Bong June Hoe, the
director of Parasite, which everyone loved cleaned up at the
Oscars in twenty and this is his first movie since then.
It's a science fiction satire with abundant commentary on class, politics, religion,
and how we treat everyone and everything that's not exactly
(27:12):
like us. And Mickey shows he signs onto a space
voyage as a low class expendable, which you heard in
the trailer. Since we ended the draft in the US,
the military has been known as our employer of last resort.
But Mickey's got it even rougher. He does all the
lousy jobs that get him killed, and then a new
body's printed for him, and his stored memories are put
(27:32):
into the new body, and by the time we get
to the seventeenth one, things start going haywire on a
big space colonization mission. Now, I got to admit a
couple of things up front. I despise time loop movies
or anything similar, any kind of groundhog Day or clone stuff.
About the only tolerable one that I can even think
of is the tom Cruise one called Edge of Tomorrow
from about ten years ago. And even that's borderline. Also
(27:54):
not a huge rPAT groupie, not into the sparkly vampires.
I like the bat Man movie was in, but not
him as Batman. So much that said, if you wonder
whether Pattinson can do more than Sulk, he did a
movie with the Safty Brothers called Good Time You Can
Catch and I think I'm the only living defender of
him and David Cronenberg's Cosmopolis possibly also the only person
(28:14):
to have seen Cosmopolis here as Mickey. As you heard
in the trailer, he's taken on this irritating, cartoonish ratso
rizzo type of voice that nearly wrecks the movie. Honestly,
other performances are so broad and cartoonish that they kind
of pull you out of things, particularly Mark Ruffalo as
the ship cult leader and commander and boss and rich guy.
(28:36):
And Tony Kollette is his wife who's obsessed with making
sauces out of everything. I mean, who isn't though we
all like a good sauce, am I right?
Speaker 6 (28:42):
Mo?
Speaker 8 (28:43):
Although yes, you love you would cut a bee for
some sauce. All that said, Mickey seventeen is an odd,
great looking movie that doesn't quite give you what you
expect from the trailer and comes from an actual artist
who you know is gonna bring a little to the
table in tone. It reminded me a bit of his
snow Piercer movie from a few years back. But that's
(29:06):
actually been eleven years since that movie came out, and
I haven't divided eleven years by fifths of vodka. But
let's just say I don't remember that as well as
i'd like the movie. This movie, Mickey seventeen, is two
hours and seventeen minutes, and the way it's paced, you
can feel it. It can drag, But I think sometimes
that's a trade off you make when you're getting something
that isn't just a product or content from an original
(29:29):
like Bong June Ho. I wouldn't turn those doge butchers
loose cutting this one. I mean, would you tell Kubrick
he could stand a kind of minute or two out
of Barry Linden. No, For the most part, movies about Clones,
Blade Runner, Replicants and the like, those are commentaries about
who counts as a full human being and who doesn't.
It doesn't take a code breaking genius to apply that
(29:51):
kind of sci fi to our lives right now, whether
we're talking about immigrants, homeless, trans people, anyone non white,
or whoever happens to be the punching down on target doujour.
I don't think Bong June Hose strikes out much bold
new territory with Mickey, But the inhabitants of the alien
planet are pretty fun. They're like Tarti grades across with
buffaloes as well as a giant set of knuckles. The
(30:15):
movie's a mixed bag, but it's got more to like
than dislike, and I'll put up with more for a
movie that isn't just more of the same assembly line
save the cat formula garbage. But if there were two
of me sitting there, one of us might have dozed
off in a couple spots before we went off afterward
and looked for someone for a three way. And yes,
that does come up in the movie. That does come
up in the movie, so to speak. Weirdly, if there
(30:37):
were two of most sitting here, they'd still get the
same number of rim shots. And I'm gonna leave that
to science to explain. That's your runa report, MO.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
What do you think of that?
Speaker 5 (30:46):
Well, first, I'm going to say that I fully disagree
with you about time loop movies. I actually happened to
like time loop movies and I was getting ready to
interrupt you. But did you saved yourself when you said
Edge of Tomorrow.
Speaker 8 (30:58):
Yeah, they changed the title of it because I think
that title, I repeat, yeah, it sounded like a soap opera,
didn't it.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Well. I actually hope they do a sequel to that
movie on some level, or.
Speaker 8 (31:08):
Like Johnny Carson's Edge of Wetness? Do you remember that? Vaguely?
Vaguely it was the fake Sopra on his on his show.
I was I wasn't always one hundred percent into this,
but there's enough good that it outweighs the bad and
and I think it's well worth your time seeing, well
(31:28):
worth Well, okay, that's high praise. All right, Well, nothing's perfect.
I mean, look at Phosh, Oh gosh, that was uncalled for.
Are you gonna give him a room shot for insulting
you like that? Well, I think that would be the
humble thing of him to do that. Would that would
show goodness? There we go. Have you seen any of
(31:48):
Bong's other movies? No, I've actually not seen Parasite yet.
Oh I have not.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
Oh you got to see Parasite, And I think it's
because it was the pandemic or something.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
I just wasn't into it at that time, something like that.
Speaker 8 (32:00):
Now, what's that one on the train that I mentioned,
snow Piercer, Snow Pierce.
Speaker 5 (32:04):
I've seen snow Piercer sneer poster. I've seen snow Piercer.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
I like that one. Yeah, I keep getting him mixed up.
Speaker 8 (32:12):
And you as a lifelong martial artist like me, No,
Master Bong su Hong, thank you for that.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
I think the same thing, same thing.
Speaker 8 (32:21):
There.
Speaker 5 (32:21):
We are MO back to you. KF I am six forty.
We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
We're not here to tell you what to think. We're
here to give you the latest. J.
Speaker 2 (32:29):

Speaker 4 (32:34):
Live everywhere on the Art Radio
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's Friday Nights Natica Della. It was on Later with
Mo Kelly.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Heller, Mo Kelly, how are you Hella?
Speaker 4 (00:12):
Tell the story? You gotta tell the story?
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (00:15):
So Mo Kelly was just said a big Heller because
I was distracting Steph and I apologize.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
That was very unprofessional myself.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
But we were in this really deep conversation and then
we heard Hiller.
Speaker 5 (00:28):
And then we were like, oh, snap, see did I
tell you Stephan doesn't even pay attention to the show.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
He's just doing his own thing. Oh boy, true.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Yes, So sorry, sorry Moe and sorry Steph. I apologize.
So check this out for Discover so Calm. Yesterday, I
have the chance to visit the nether Cup Museum. Has
anyone been there at all?
Speaker 4 (00:48):
I have not.
Speaker 6 (00:49):
No.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Well, it is a gem in Silmar that felt like
stepping into a time machine of automotive history. From the
moment I walked in, I was surrounded by some of
the most stunning and meticulously restored classic cars I have
ever seen. Now, the oldest car I saw was way
before it was made, way before our parents, a nineteen
(01:11):
o five Buick Model C, a nineteen oh seven Westinghouse
and a nineteen eleven Franklin Model H limousine, which was
the first limousine that was ever made. Now, it was
a masterpiece craftsmanship from a bygone era.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
It was beautiful.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Every car in the museum. Museum has a detailed description
in front of it, listing the year that it was made,
the make, and the original price, and also the original owner.
The level of the preservation is absolutely incredible, and these
cars look like they just rolled off the showroom floor
(01:51):
with flawless paint jobs, gleaming chrome where you could just
just put your face on it and you could see
every little pour in your face. And even a spare
tire of firestone tires that were the size of like
swimming pool inner tubes. That's how the tires used to
be back in the days now. The nether Cup Museum
and Collection was founded by JB. Nethercut, co founder of
(02:15):
Merle Norman Cosmetics, who had a deep passion for restoring
and preserving vintage automobiles. What started as a personal collection
in the nineteen fifties evolved into a world class museum
featuring over two hundred and fifty anti classics and special
interest cars. Many of them have won top awards at
(02:39):
prestigious events like the Pebble Beach Concourse de Elegance. The
museum is also split in two sections now the five
dollars admission nether cut museum side, where visitors can just
kind of what I did, roam around and look at
all the historic automobiles. And then there's the twenty dollars tour,
which you have to make a reservation, but you go
upstairs where they have like serious classic cars that I
(03:03):
didn't do, but I'm planning on doing that next time
I go. Now, one of the standouts of the exhibits
for me was the massive vintage fire truck sitting among
the classic cars. It was a towering, beautifully restore piece
of firefighting history with bright red pain polished brass fittings
and an old school hand cranked siren. Can you just imagine,
(03:27):
you know, how you see those in the movies? That
was it was there. It was absolutely beautiful. I don't
know how they handled the fires back then, but I
tell you that the evolution of the fire truck has
definitely come to where I could say it's a little
bit more productive now. If you're a fan of vintage automobiles, history,
(03:49):
or just love seeing beautiful preserved craftsmanships, I have to
tell you the nether Cup Museum is a must visit.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Whether you want to.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Admire a rare Bugatti, which, oh was beautiful, or an
antique fire truck.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I tell you it's it's a place that.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
You definitely want to go if you want to learn
a little bit about history and a little bit about
you know, how the engines and the parts of the
cars we were made.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
And there's so much to see. So if you go
to the museum, make.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Sure you look at the walls, you look at the cabinets,
you look at the displays, and you look at all
the little signs that say, like I said, the year
of the.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Car, how much it costs?
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Cars back then were like five hundred and forty five dollars.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
You can't get a used lemon for that.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Adona Oswala got a car for six hundred dollars.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
He just told us last night what he got a
car for six hundred dollars. He ought to tell you
the experience afterward, but okay, okay, you'll never do it again.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
But if you would like to go, the neother Cut
Museum is at one five one five to one Bledsoe
Street in Silmar. Now it is in a industrial area,
so unless you really know the address, you'll pass right
by it. And for more information you could also log
on to nether Cutcollection dot org. That's nether Cutcollection dot
(05:06):
org and it's only open Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays nine
am to four thirty.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
That's why I said I went there yesterday.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
That sounds like it would be so much fun, full
of history. And you may not know this, I love
cars in car history. One of the highlights of my
childhood was going to the Auto show with my father
almost annually and seeing classic cars, cars of the future,
the history and the timeline of cars and the different manufacturers.
(05:36):
So this is something that really interests me personally. And
you may not know this, but when I was doing
the Mokelly Show and Twaller obviously remembers this, we used
to do the Great Labor Day Car Cruise where we
would go out and you'd see all these vintage cars.
They're just cruising around the La County fair Grounds. And
it was in Pomota and it was just a great,
(05:57):
great time. So if you are like me, the nether
Cut Museum is probably Taylor made for a great time.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Absolutely, and a lot of the cars there too, were
also featured in the Rose Bowl Parade and you could
see it'll. Like I said, every description has a little story,
so it's it's amazing. But we have come a long
way with cars technology.
Speaker 6 (06:21):
Size.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
I mean, the car from nineteen oh seven was you
would need four parking.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Spots just to fit your car, just to park your car.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
The first limousine that I mentioned earlier, from nineteen eleven,
the Franklin Model H limousine, I mean, I sure.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Amazing.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
It was.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
It was probably a little bit bigger than the limousines
that we have nowadays.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
But of course, you know now we have all the
glowing lights and we have the bar and all that
other stuff.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Do you remember how many it could see roughly six?
About six?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Yeah, it was, I mean it was beautiful. I discovered
this just by searching. I was like, I want to
get out of la and then I went to Silmar
and then oh there is a train exhibit in the back.
I didn't go because it was pouring outside, and they
do two kind of walk throughs. Ones at twelve and
I think one's at three.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
And again that's the neother cut collection and you can
find it at another Cut collection dot org. That's in
e T H E R c U T T collection
dot org. I'm gonna have to track this out. Yeah,
I really am.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
You'll enjoy it.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
And admissions only five dollars a person.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Five dollars yet, and if you.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Gotta get advanced reservations, no.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
No, no, I went up for the No, you need
the reservations to go upstairs to see the classics.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Yeah, that you do that. That is like a ballroom.
It's like the Great Gasp. But you feel like you're
in the movie. It's amazing.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Five dollars in Children under ten are free.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Yes, m hm. And we like free ninety nine.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
This is something I wish I could have done with
my father.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
And also I just posted a few pictures just to
give you a tease on my Instagram at Nautica de
la Cruz, just to get through the freaky Friday stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
And you'll see the car.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
What are you talking about? Explain that Friday?
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Okay, so every Friday I do I do. It's it's
my naughty version my my naughty Nautica Freaky Friday kind
of something a little how should I say it?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
A little spicy, it's a little.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
I don't know. I need you to explain more elaborate, you.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Know, like if a man is not feeling well and
he's feeling sad, show him your boobs. So that actually
is from today, Steph, you can you can back me
up on that.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
One step or what that's why he was slow on
the draw.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Steph follows me on Instagram. So if you, you know,
if you just want to go to the cars, you
should have led give out the Freaking Friday.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
And like I said, oh, I did post the picture
of the fire truck, so it's beautiful. Definitely, it's just
a little tea. So you you could, I could get
you out there, get you out to discover.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
So Cal, I need you to be clear which subject
you were talking about, because we were talking about the cars. Yes,
then we talked about Freaky Friday, and you, for some
reason said, oh, and I posted a picture of it. And
I thought that the picture had to do a Freaky
Friday and they didn't had to do with the cars.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
The cars, yes, but I so my freaky Friday is.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Yes, it's it's little snippets of things that are that
are spicy m.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
It was pretty fun though, Yes, Stephan.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Last Way, step.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
Heller Heller, it's fun. We have Natica da la Cruz
and are hidden gym when we come back.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
It's Friday Nights went Notica de la Cruise on Later
with Moe Kelly and Today's Hidden Gem is Jared Lobo.
Jared Lobo is one of the most one of those
people you meet and you instantly know he has a
heart of gold. Growing up in Chadsworth, he was the
kid that would just couldn't walk away from a stray
animal without stopping to help. Neighbors still tell stories about
(10:05):
how he once nursed a baby possum. Oh yeah, he
did back to house after finding it alone in the backyard.
But Jared's love for animals wasn't just a childhood face.
It became his life's passion. His backyard, once a typical
suburban space, slowly turned into a mini rescue operation, filled
(10:25):
with adopted cats, rescued birds, and even on occasion, an
injured rabbit.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
One summer, Jared found a wounded hawk.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
I think it was a baby hawk, he said, near
the Chadsworth Reservoir. Most people would have just you know,
passed on by, but he picked it up, wrapped it
in his jacket, and spent hours calling different wildlife centers
until he found the right one. The moment solidified what
he already knew. He wanted to dedicate some of his
time to rescuing and rehabilitating animals. His passion led him
(11:00):
to volunteer at shelters and work with the wildlife rehabilitation programs,
where he became known for his patients skill and unwavering dedication.
And that's how he got involved with Fur and Feather
Animal Sanctuary, a no kill shelter right in his own backyard.
Fur and Feather isn't just a rescue, it's a safe
(11:21):
haven for abandoned, injured, and neglected animals who might not
have a second chance anywhere else. The organization works closely
with local shelters, taking in overflow cases and making sure
no animal is left behind, whether it's an abused dog,
a stray cad or even live stock in need of care.
Fur and feathers provides them with medical attention, rehabilitation, and,
(11:45):
when possible, a loving forever home for the animals who
can't be adopted due to medical issues or you know,
because they're seniors or behavioral challenges. Fur and Feathers offer
a permanent sanctuary, ensuring they live out their lives and
comfort and safety. The organization not only provides shelter, but
also works to educate the community about responsible pet ownership,
(12:09):
animal welfare, and rehabilitation. They host workshops, adoption fares, and
fundraising events as well, and they also have a nice,
dedicated team of volunteers and veterinarians. Fur and Feather also
provides specialized medical care, behavioral training, and socialization programs to
help animals recover from trauma. Their ultimate goal is not
(12:33):
just to rescue animals, but to create a furuture where
fewer animals need rescuing in the first place. Through Jared's
work with Fur and Feather, he's not just helping animals,
He's inspiring others to care, take action, and believe every
life is worth saving, no matter how small, no matter
how broken. You could also follow them on Instagram at
(12:56):
Fur and Feather Animal Sanctuary and if you would like
some more information either donate monetary or volunteer, or if
you know someone that has a pet that needs a
little bit of help, you could log onto furfeather dot org.
That's furfeather dot org. And one thing I love mo
talking to Jared, who is now twenty one a college student,
(13:20):
is that he kind of reminded me of my daughter.
My daughter would in the backyard. She would, you know,
pick up the premantis because it needed a home, or
she'd pick up the cricket, or you know, she'd see
a little I don't know, a you know, a ladybug.
She just it just yes, just the love of strays.
(13:41):
And I used to tell her just don't bring a
straight cat over because I'm allergic to cats. But it's
that love of animals that is instilled in children.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
You know.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Like one time we were walking and I saw this little,
bright pink thing by a tree and I was like, oh,
what is that. She said, I don't know, mom, but
it's moving. It was a baby squirrel. It had fallen
from the tree and we.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Took it home.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
I called the local rescue shelter and I said, I
don't know what it is. It looks like it could
be a squirrel. We gave it milk and whatever they
had instructed us, but it only lived like three days.
I think the fall was very it was high, the
tree was very high.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
But it's just that that's.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
When you see the love of children loving for animals,
and that's when you go as a parent.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
I did something right.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
Hopefully our kids are better than us, right. I got
to ask you very quickly, So, how did the hidden
gym come to you?
Speaker 4 (14:36):
This week?
Speaker 3 (14:37):
This one was so this is a friend of a neighbor. No,
I'm sorry, neighbor of a friend. That's how I got
in contact with Jared. And he's twenty one, he's in
college and just a very very.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Good young man.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
I absolutely love it.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
So, and speaking of a community, something that I wanted
to mention that came by my desk was DreamWorks is
doing the Birthday Party Project.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
So it is a big birthday.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Party for those who have been displaced due to the
California wildfires, but it's also very kind of catered to children.
The Greater Los Angeles Chapter of YMCA wants to invite
you the Birthday Party Project, which is going to be
happening tomorrow from two to three point thirty PM at
the DreamWorks Campus and that address is one thousand Flower
(15:28):

Speaker 4 (16:13):

Speaker 5 (16:18):
Six forty Hello there, Sunshine. It's the first ever picture
book from the New York Times bestselling author and Emmy
Award winning host of the kids YouTube original series tab Time.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Of course, I'm talking about Tabitha Brown.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Can I tell you something that's on my mind?
Speaker 7 (16:36):
I can very good when we listen to our friends,
we can learn new things, like I just learned that
my friend Ivy is a fruit and not a vegetable.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
It's tab Can I ask you a question?
Speaker 6 (16:49):
You can ask me anything.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Are you a fruit or vegetable?
Speaker 6 (16:53):
Ivy? I am a.
Speaker 7 (16:54):
Person, a person that doesn't sound like a broccoli or
a blueberry.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Is that why you don't have a pit like mine
that can do this?
Speaker 7 (17:06):
It sure is, and thank you for asking. We're both
pretty good listeners, aren't we? Misstabit, Yes we are.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Hello There.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
Sunshine follows young Tabitha, who wakes up ready to greet
the sun, but gets a little worried when she realizes
it's missing. From there, Tabitha embarks on an adventure through
her own neighborhood, asking everyone if they've seen the sun.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Hello.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Their Sunshine is available everywhere beginning Tuesday, March eleventh, and
its author, Tabitha Brown joins me right now on the show.
Speaker 8 (17:36):
Ms.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Brown is nice to speak to you this evening. How
are you?
Speaker 6 (17:39):
I'm doing good, honey? How are you?
Speaker 5 (17:41):
I am wonderful When I see you in your various
forms of work, I'm reminded of the many personal and
professional struggles you've endured to get to this point, you
wear many hats and use all sorts of talents and skills.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
What do you enjoy most?
Speaker 5 (17:54):
Acting, stand up comedy, writing, culinary arts, clothing, design, motherhood,
maybe something else.
Speaker 9 (18:01):
You know what, I think I enjoy just being myself
the most, right. I think that's the biggest thing, Like
being a wife, being a mom, being a daughter, like
those are That's what makes me who I am, being
a woman, and then I get to do all the
other things.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
That's the bonus.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Talk to me about writing for children.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
Yes, we were all children once upon a time, some
of us even became parents, but I would argue that
communicating with them, writing for them is a special gift.
What is it you do or use in creating this
connection with children in a media space?
Speaker 6 (18:36):
You know what? I love children.
Speaker 9 (18:38):
Of course, I'm a mama and I work with children,
you know, with my children, show tab time and writing
for children.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
I think it The biggest.
Speaker 9 (18:46):
Lesson is listening to children, but also going back into your.
Speaker 6 (18:51):
Own childhood in the childlike mindset and feelings inside.
Speaker 9 (18:56):
And so this book is all about my real childhood
and my experience with my mama because she also listened
to me. But she would also talk to me, and
so I wanted to share that in book form with
just teaching children how they have light inside of them,
which is like a superpower, right, we can transform someone's day,
(19:17):
including our own. So taking that very simple technique of
talking to children in a way that they understand, and
we put that on paper.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
So still just telling the story.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
Hello, their Sunshine available March eleventh. The sun has gone missing,
and young Tabitha set out to find it.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Take it from there.
Speaker 6 (19:38):
Yes, so this is based on my childhood.
Speaker 9 (19:41):
In my hometown in North Carolina and Eve, North Carolina,
there was a little neighborhood I lived in called River
Being And so I wake up one morning I don't
see the sun shining outside, and so I think, what's
going to happen if we don't have the sun shining.
It's a cloudy day. And I go on this journey
to find the sun. And I'm in my neighborhood. I'm
(20:03):
helping my neighbors, I'm helping my friends do things, I'm playing,
I'm bringing joy and happiness to people in the neighborhood.
But yet I still never find the sun. And at
the end of the day, I go back to my
mama and I said. She asked me, did you ever
find the sun? And I said no, I still didn't
find the sunshine today. And she says, well, what do
you do today? And I tell her all the things
(20:24):
that I did in the neighborhood with my friends and
with the neighbors, and how I helped people and made
people feel good and happy. And she said, what sounds
like you did find the sun. And in that moment,
it's a light bulb moment where I realized that I
am the sun. I was the sunshine in people's life
that day. And so kindness is sunshine. Love and joy
(20:45):
is also sunshine. And being able to spread that we
all have the power to do so. And so that's
hello there, sunshine.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
What has working in this children's space taught you about children?
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Their minds and their dreams?
Speaker 5 (21:00):
Now, this story Hello their Sunshine, may be semi autobiographical,
if you will, but I'm quite sure you'll learn something
about children more generally.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Right.
Speaker 9 (21:10):
Oh, absolutely, children are so much smarter than we realize.
Speaker 6 (21:15):
Right.
Speaker 9 (21:15):
I think that if we listen, we can always learn
from children. Most children, until a certain age have no fear.
Fear is talk.
Speaker 6 (21:25):
They have big imaginations, they're big dreamers. They're so curious.
Speaker 9 (21:29):
And I think as we get older and we become adults,
our fears, you know, start to take over, our imagination shrinks,
we start to conform into this world the people project
on us and we believe it. But children are not
like that. They believe things that are what they are.
They also have a big imagination to believe them to
(21:51):
be different and even better sometimes. And so I think
the purity of children is the most sacred thing, and
to be it's to learn from them is an honor
for me. I love learning from children every day, every day.
Speaker 5 (22:06):
My time has grown short with you, Ms Tabitha Brown.
But I know that since Hello, Their Sunshine is going
to be available on March eleventh, you might be doing
some appearances in support of this children's book, and I
understand you might be in the LA area sometime soon.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
Can you tell me about that.
Speaker 9 (22:22):
Yes, I'm gonna be That's what next Saturday. So I'll
be at Pierce College and it's partnering with Malik Books
and LAUSD So it's a big family day. We're giving
away a thousand books. It's a free event. I'm going
to do a meet and greet. Look it is free,
but you still have to go online and where.
Speaker 6 (22:39):
It is free.
Speaker 9 (22:41):
But yeah, I hope that people come out and take
pictures and share some sunshine with me.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
I gotta say, people can't see you, but I can
see the vibrancy, the joy, I will say, the glow
that you have. Where does that enthusiasm come from? For
what you do? Very quickly?
Speaker 9 (22:59):
You know what I think is guys give right that
he allows me to be a joyful spirit and gratefulness. Honey,
I'm alive and I'm happy about.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
So.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
Yeah, hello there.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
Sunshine is available everywhere beginning Tuesday, March eleventh. Tabitha Brown
has been enjoyed to talk to you and follow you
for quite some time. But it's nice to be able
to dialogue with you. I wish you nothing but the best.
Speaker 6 (23:23):
Thank you so much. I appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Hun.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
It's Later with mo Kelly if I am six forty.
We are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from

Speaker 5 (23:42):
Mark talks about pontificates about pop culture.
Speaker 10 (23:46):
Ronner Report with Mark Ronner.
Speaker 8 (23:59):
It's Later with Mokel kf I am six forty live
everywhere on the iHeart App. I am Mark Ronner. It's
the Runner Report. We're gonna talk about Mickey seventeen opening
this weekend. You know, there's a nineteen sixty five movie
with Warren Batty called Mickey One. Oh crap, did I
miss Mickey's two through sixteen? Catching up on those? That'd
be about as tedious as catching up on the Fast
(24:19):
and Furious or Transformer movies. Twala, But I checked IMDb
and I'm in luck I didn't have to catch up
on fifteen Mickeys that I missed. In Mickey One, Warren
Batty plays a guy who goes on the run from
mobsters and hides in another city. In Mickey seventeen, Robert
Pattinson plays a guy on the run from mobsters and
hides on a big spaceship. See completely different, glad.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
I checked. Here's the trailer, and.
Speaker 8 (24:42):
We're gonna listen to a little more than usual because
there's a lot of exposition in this one.
Speaker 6 (24:47):
Hi, Nicky, are you experiencing universito? I guess I am Robert.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Pattinson in space?
Speaker 6 (24:57):
Oh wow?
Speaker 10 (24:58):
Did you see that?
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Had a meteorite takes off his hand and his toest.
Speaker 7 (25:02):
No, I wouldn't be surprised if you're thinking at this point,
what have I done?
Speaker 11 (25:06):
Oh God, nothing was working out and I wanted to
get off of hers.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
You're playing to be inexpendable. Yeah, you read through the
whole application.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
Once you die, would print a new version of your body.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
I should have read through it. They made me work
my ass off on one mission after another.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
Every time you die, we learned something new of humanity
moves forward.
Speaker 11 (25:35):
If he's life is fine, biggie.
Speaker 6 (25:48):
It's not looking very good for you.
Speaker 11 (25:50):
Yeah, I'm sure you're used to it by now.
Speaker 6 (25:54):
What's if you like to die? Give it on my
seventeenth go around?
Speaker 8 (25:59):
Hey, dying, he just saw a duplicate of himself. That's
how we'd all react.
Speaker 10 (26:16):
In the case of multiples, we exterminate every individual permanent deletion.
Speaker 6 (26:21):
Not for me.
Speaker 11 (26:23):
Let's blow up the second hand blooney boys.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
Well, you're going to do rough paper decision, and then
we'll just shoot the liser.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
That BG.
Speaker 8 (26:51):
We had to would least let the song play Mickey
seventeen is from South Korean filmmaker Bong June Hoe, the
director of Parasite, which everyone loved cleaned up at the
Oscars in twenty and this is his first movie since then.
It's a science fiction satire with abundant commentary on class, politics, religion,
and how we treat everyone and everything that's not exactly
(27:12):
like us. And Mickey shows he signs onto a space
voyage as a low class expendable, which you heard in
the trailer. Since we ended the draft in the US,
the military has been known as our employer of last resort.
But Mickey's got it even rougher. He does all the
lousy jobs that get him killed, and then a new
body's printed for him, and his stored memories are put
(27:32):
into the new body, and by the time we get
to the seventeenth one, things start going haywire on a
big space colonization mission. Now, I got to admit a
couple of things up front. I despise time loop movies
or anything similar, any kind of groundhog Day or clone stuff.
About the only tolerable one that I can even think
of is the tom Cruise one called Edge of Tomorrow
from about ten years ago. And even that's borderline. Also
(27:54):
not a huge rPAT groupie, not into the sparkly vampires.
I like the bat Man movie was in, but not
him as Batman. So much that said, if you wonder
whether Pattinson can do more than Sulk, he did a
movie with the Safty Brothers called Good Time You Can
Catch and I think I'm the only living defender of
him and David Cronenberg's Cosmopolis possibly also the only person
(28:14):
to have seen Cosmopolis here as Mickey. As you heard
in the trailer, he's taken on this irritating, cartoonish ratso
rizzo type of voice that nearly wrecks the movie. Honestly,
other performances are so broad and cartoonish that they kind
of pull you out of things, particularly Mark Ruffalo as
the ship cult leader and commander and boss and rich guy.
(28:36):
And Tony Kollette is his wife who's obsessed with making
sauces out of everything. I mean, who isn't though we
all like a good sauce, am I right?
Speaker 6 (28:42):
Mo?
Speaker 8 (28:43):
Although yes, you love you would cut a bee for
some sauce. All that said, Mickey seventeen is an odd,
great looking movie that doesn't quite give you what you
expect from the trailer and comes from an actual artist
who you know is gonna bring a little to the
table in tone. It reminded me a bit of his
snow Piercer movie from a few years back. But that's
(29:06):
actually been eleven years since that movie came out, and
I haven't divided eleven years by fifths of vodka. But
let's just say I don't remember that as well as
i'd like the movie. This movie, Mickey seventeen, is two
hours and seventeen minutes, and the way it's paced, you
can feel it. It can drag, But I think sometimes
that's a trade off you make when you're getting something
that isn't just a product or content from an original
(29:29):
like Bong June Ho. I wouldn't turn those doge butchers
loose cutting this one. I mean, would you tell Kubrick
he could stand a kind of minute or two out
of Barry Linden. No, For the most part, movies about Clones,
Blade Runner, Replicants and the like, those are commentaries about
who counts as a full human being and who doesn't.
It doesn't take a code breaking genius to apply that
(29:51):
kind of sci fi to our lives right now, whether
we're talking about immigrants, homeless, trans people, anyone non white,
or whoever happens to be the punching down on target doujour.
I don't think Bong June Hose strikes out much bold
new territory with Mickey, But the inhabitants of the alien
planet are pretty fun. They're like Tarti grades across with
buffaloes as well as a giant set of knuckles. The
(30:15):
movie's a mixed bag, but it's got more to like
than dislike, and I'll put up with more for a
movie that isn't just more of the same assembly line
save the cat formula garbage. But if there were two
of me sitting there, one of us might have dozed
off in a couple spots before we went off afterward
and looked for someone for a three way. And yes,
that does come up in the movie. That does come
up in the movie, so to speak. Weirdly, if there
(30:37):
were two of most sitting here, they'd still get the
same number of rim shots. And I'm gonna leave that
to science to explain. That's your runa report, MO.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
What do you think of that?
Speaker 5 (30:46):
Well, first, I'm going to say that I fully disagree
with you about time loop movies. I actually happened to
like time loop movies and I was getting ready to
interrupt you. But did you saved yourself when you said
Edge of Tomorrow.
Speaker 8 (30:58):
Yeah, they changed the title of it because I think
that title, I repeat, yeah, it sounded like a soap opera,
didn't it.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Well. I actually hope they do a sequel to that
movie on some level, or.
Speaker 8 (31:08):
Like Johnny Carson's Edge of Wetness? Do you remember that? Vaguely?
Vaguely it was the fake Sopra on his on his show.
I was I wasn't always one hundred percent into this,
but there's enough good that it outweighs the bad and
and I think it's well worth your time seeing, well
(31:28):
worth Well, okay, that's high praise. All right, Well, nothing's perfect.
I mean, look at Phosh, Oh gosh, that was uncalled for.
Are you gonna give him a room shot for insulting
you like that? Well, I think that would be the
humble thing of him to do that. Would that would
show goodness? There we go. Have you seen any of
(31:48):
Bong's other movies? No, I've actually not seen Parasite yet.
Oh I have not.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
Oh you got to see Parasite, And I think it's
because it was the pandemic or something.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
I just wasn't into it at that time, something like that.
Speaker 8 (32:00):
Now, what's that one on the train that I mentioned,
snow Piercer, Snow Pierce.
Speaker 5 (32:04):
I've seen snow Piercer sneer poster. I've seen snow Piercer.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
I like that one. Yeah, I keep getting him mixed up.
Speaker 8 (32:12):
And you as a lifelong martial artist like me, No,
Master Bong su Hong, thank you for that.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
I think the same thing, same thing.
