Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Let's go beyond the box score with Jackie Ray. The
first story, the biggest story. Former USC star quarterback Mark
Sanchez was arrested after being stabbed multiple times, now charged
with felony assault for allegedly attacking a sixty nine year
(00:27):
old delivery driver. There was a video that Jackie Ray
and I were watching. He was obviously stumbling, intoxicated, and
now he's facing felony charges. He is presently a Fox
Sports analyst. I don't know how much longer he will be,
just knowing how this business works. Jackie Ray, when you
(00:49):
saw the story, what first came to mind?
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Oh that this victim, even though he did some stabbing
in the situation, he has a fantastic lawsuit, in my opinion,
not only against Mark Santez. I know in his lawsuit
he also named uh, the Mark's employer. And I think
that's a smart that is justifiable as well, because anybody
who's been following football for any length of time, Mark
(01:12):
Sanchez and his alcoholism is well documented. This isn't new information.
Like you said, we got to see the video and
he's stumbling.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
In fact, we have it right now on YouTube.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
It's playing on YouTube right perfect.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
You know, as an organization, you know that this man
has this type of drinking problem. He's a liability at best.
You should have somebody around him.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
What we do know is Mark Sanchez. His relevant history
was he was credibly accused of rape while he was
at uscredit.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Those charges sort of went away.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
When he when he paid it off.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Yeah, sorry, allegedly, But there have been other incidents as
far as his use of alcohol and belligerent behavior. To
your point of naming Fox Sports in the lawsuit, Fox
Sports has a greater responsibility here, especially if they knew
or in discovery we find that there were other similar
incidents of violence.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Well, I mean, and even if they're not similar incidents
of violence, I think we can safely say there has
been incidents of him being drunk after him being on
the air. Yes, And so since we know that Fox
already knows he has a problem with alcohol, and if
you are not going to hold him accountable, if you're
not going to demand he goes into rehab, if you're
(02:30):
not going to demand that while he is doing anything
in any capacity for a length of time for Fox,
then you are culpable and to a certain extent. So
this is going This man's gonna win a lot of money.
And let me just say this, to be a sixty
nine year old delivery man.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
I hope he takes the bank.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Mark Sanchez is six two two twenty five former professional
football player. He's under the age of forty, so it's
not like he's out of shape right to think that,
for whatever reason in his drunken stupor that attacking a
sixty nine year old man was a good idea. And
(03:07):
let's be honest. They've shown some of the injuries of
the attack delivery driver.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
He got fed up.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Yeah, yeah, So I claim his self defense.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
It's not gonna be a difficult thing.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Here now, especially not in Indianapolis. They have very very
loose self defense laws. So he's going to be absolutely fine.
Every the law is going to fall squarely on his side.
And Mark Sanchez should have known better. Why are you
using pepper spray on a delivery person?
Speaker 5 (03:30):
Why?
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Well, that goes back to being drunk.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
From what we understand, he was telling the delivery driver
to move, get out, move the car, get out the way,
or something. He didn't like where the delivery driver is,
move right, get out the way, throwing bow's for what
a reason? He didn't like where the delivery driver had
been parts and Mark Sanchez, from all published accounts, was
the aggressor. And then there was a physical altercation which started,
(03:57):
and then after the physical altercation had begun, the delivery driver,
in my estimation, stabbed Mark Sanchez and self defense because
sixty nine year old man is not beating this thirty
five or whatever man in a straight up fight.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Listen, at this point, he's lucky that this man didn't
have a concealed carry license. Let's just be honest, because
this could have ended, you know, a lot more severely
where he should be thankful that this man his only
line of defense was a knife.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
I do like how the media first reported it one way,
and then as they got more information, that narrative shifted
very quickly, because the first time I saw this story
and said, well, Mark Sanchez had been stabbed multiple times,
he's in critical condition, I think, oh my gosh, what
happened was the victim of a robbery, and then it's
more information came and it's like oh no, no, no, no, no,
he attacked the sixty nine year old man, and the
(04:49):
delivery driver defended himself.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Yes, and you know, Mark Sanchez owes not only this
man in apology. He owes Indianapolis an apology, He owes
his Fox and apolog he owes his family and apology
because there's too many people that are in his corner,
that are rooting for him that he is let down
in this moment and he'll never make this right.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
He actually played in the NFL for ten seasons. I
thought it was shorter than that.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Yeah, you only thought it was shorter than that because
he was never good.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
He's another one of those USC products. Talking from a
sports standpoint. If he would have stayed in college longer,
I believe his professional career would have been long.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Maybe, but we'll never know.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Ye.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
But clearly whatever issues he was dealing with at USC,
which may have pushed him to go pro sooner, have
never been addressed.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
And you can't expect them to.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
You can't expect issues that you have, especially when you're
talking about drinking abuse, especially abuse towards women. You can't
expect those problems to go away in the NFL because
the NFL is notoriously good at making those kind of
problems just go away.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Yep, when we come back.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Well, the NFL may have a problem sleeping at night,
at least to the Department of Homeland Securities.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Viewpoint.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Christy Noams said the NFL won't be able to sleep
at night over Bad Bunny super Bowl performance. We'll discuss
that when we come back. It's Later with Mo Kelly
be on the box Score with Jackie Ray I AM
six forty Live everywhere on YouTube, in the Heart Radio app.
And don't forget we have a huge, huge Halloween swar
a party update tonight.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
KFI Later with mo Kelly be on the box Score
with Jackie Ray re live on YouTube and the iHeartRadio app.
Let me refresh what we're getting ready to get into.
Homeland Security Secretary of Christy Nomes said the NFL will
not be quote able to sleep at night close quote.
And that's in regard to his decision to pick Music
Superstar Bad Bunny as the twenty twenty six halftime performer.
(06:49):
Let me start with this because there's so much to
unpack that statement. Yes, we know that Homeland Security is
going to be at every super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
That's not new.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
But to make that affirmative statement in direct response to
Bad Bunny being selected as the artist, you are connecting
quote unquote safety with bad Buddy. When you saw that
statement or saw that story, what came to mind racial profiling.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
I mean, that's the only thing that came to my mind,
because to your point, we all know that Homeland Security
is going to be at the super Bowl. They've always
been there. It would be erroneous for them not to
be there. It's one of the biggest sports events, and
not only in our country, but it's watched worldwide, so
it makes sense for them to be there.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
But to say that you're going.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
To be there specifically because this is an American man,
and I want to emphasize that because everything that I
read it says Puerto Rican artists, Puerto Rico is part
of the United States. You could have just said American
music artists and left it at that. I feel like
there's some intentionality about emphasizing him being Puerto Rican because
now you're really directing attention to his nationality in his race.
(08:01):
And so for me, when you say the Super Bowl,
people who organize the Super Bowl, are not going to
be able to sleep well at night because they have
this American Latino artist performing. You're saying that, we feel
like he's going to have an influx of Latino artists
and we are going to racially profile them.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Let me let me just say this, because let's say
you are of the erroneous notion that Bad Bunny is
not an American.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Let's just say that.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
And let's say you are categorically against non Americans performing
at the super Bowl, as if it's supposed to you
supposedly well wait, wait, I'm gonna get that, as it
supposedly some sort of American event which is only supposed
to feature American artists. Number One, they've only had singer
slash performers since nineteen ninety three. Before that, it was
just college bands, So you've never really cared about the
(08:46):
halftime show.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
It's a more recent phenomenon.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
But if you believe it should be citizens, let me
just remind you. You know, your non NFL fans, these
are all people who were headlining super Bowl halftime shows
who were not Americans or at best later naturalized Rihanna,
Paul McCartney, The Rolling.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Stones, I told you I was gonna get here.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Stick, I forgot about Sting, I didn't you too, Yep,
cold Play, Shakira, Shania Twain, forgot.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
About Shanaia, the weekend, forgot about.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
The weekend, and another eight. Okay, then I go.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
My point is a non American, of which Bad Bunny
is not. A non American headlining the super Bowl has
never been a thing ever, never, And not only that
Bad Bunny he wasn't headlining, but he's been a part
of a previous super Bowl performance.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Right right, Maybe y'all weren't paying attention, but I was.
Right now, Rihanna was. Is the is the biggest one
for me, because we we loved Rihanna. That's where she
unveiled her new pregnancy. Wasn't nobody saying get this non
American off the stage? Nobody said that, right, that was
like three pregnancies ago. But yeah, yeh three dang right
and all these kids, all of them. But my point
is is that what so this is the issue that
(10:04):
I have with everything that's happening in our country right now.
Our country is founded on being a melting pot and
having all kinds of different nationalities really feed into a
system and make it beautiful. And now this administration has
done anything and everything to make it as melanin free
as possible, and nobody's saying anything about it. I feel
that's a very Unamerican thing to do. It's a very
(10:26):
Unamerican thing to not say. Hold on, why shouldn't they
be able to sleep at night? Because it's American artist
is here?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Well, not only that, the NFL is a multinational corporation
and its business extends to some different They had NFL Europe,
which is a filled endeavor, but they still they had
seven preseason games, excuse me, seven games internationally this year.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
So the whole idea of Mexico games Mexico.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
So the idea that the NFL is only a space
for quote unquote a certain type of Americans, not even
just Americans, but a certain type of Americans is is nakedly.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Reprehensible on its face.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
And let me also say this, The NFL is a
private entity, doesn't need to check in with the federal
government for anything, right, And.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Let's let's be clear, a lot of people at that
Super Bowl are going to be there with their corporation
because their corporation has already secured boxes seats and things
of that nature.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Well, that's a great point because the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
If you're thinking that because bad money performing, it means
that all these Latino people and i e. Undocumented wink wink,
are going to show up at the game. That's a
fallacy because the corporate it's a corporate event. There are
very few tickets which are made available to the general public,
and they started like.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Five thousand dollars for the nosebleed seats.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Five thousand, and if you think that someone who's undocumented
is going to roll up to pay those five thousand.
Not that I'm saying that undocumented people are a priori
poor I'm just saying they're not that many general public
people who are going to be there in the first place.
And also, this is something else Goodell is not going
(12:01):
to have a situation where you have people getting arrested
and thrown to the ground hip side for the world
to see.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Right.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
And on top of that, why would anyone go if
they were just a regular citizen, even if obviously I'm
assuming that they are going to be documented, because we
have seen a plethora of people detained by ICE agents
who are documented citizens or just regular born citizens. Of
this country. But because they look the part, they have
(12:30):
been detained. Why would you go to a space where
Homeland Security says, hahi, we're going to be there specifically
to racially profile you.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
And let's just say it does impact who does show
up to the game. It's not going to impact the ratings.
I can tell you right now. The ratings for this
halftime show are going to be through the roof for
all the records that Kendrick Lamar a halftime show made
last year, I expect because there's going to be so
much international entrance. This is a worldwide event, which you've
(12:59):
already indicated, so worldwide events, so worldwide eye is gonna
be watching this. It's going to break all sorts of records,
it is. And what disappoints me more than anything is
this is an eleven minute.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Performance, right, and you're making this big to do. Go
to the bathroom, Go get some food, right, go to
hell for all, go to better help and find you
a damn therapist.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
I don't get it.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Something this is.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
And for as much as again I want to hammer
home this point, for as much as we collective royal,
we we want to keep politics out of our sports
This is all politics. This has nothing to do with sports,
This has nothing to do with music. This has to
do with a public pronouncement of the administration threatening to
(13:47):
intimidate those who allegedly are undocumented from coming to the
Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Right It's all posturing, and that's all this administration has
been doing.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
It's quite an embarrassment.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
At this point, I would hope that somebody in the
White House would say, hey, let's not keep making these
foolish statements just because we can't. I don't think it's
gonna happen, but at this point, I would recommend that
they commend literally the biggest artists in the world right now.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Bad Bunny is, with exception of Taylor Swift, and we
can differentiate Bad Bunny at worst is the number three
streamed artists in the world. In the world, and if
you have a worldwide event catering to the world community,
why in.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
The hell it's good business.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
It's just simple business, right.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
And Taylor Swift, even with her latest album.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Oh wait wait I'm saying, but I forgot something well Fire,
Taylor Swift was offered the halftime.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Get Oh thank god. She didn't take it.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
She turned it down. Adele was offered and she turned
it down.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
So all the people say, well, jac is just seeking
out a certain type of artists. That is actually untrue.
It is not true. Taylor Swift turned it down, Adele
turned it down. I'm sorry that jelly Roll wasn't offered it,
but jelly Roll doesn't command the amount.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
Of attention exactly.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
And if the NFL made a mistake in choosing Bad Bunny,
then let let NFL deal with that. Those made plenty
of mistakes over the years, absolute mistakes. And you know what,
it's not going to make any difference because they're still
going to sell out the commercial ad spots in some
six million for thirty seconds.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
Yet and whoever watched it doesn't watch. It doesn't matter
because they've already sold the broadcast rights. People don't understand
how the business works.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
They really don't.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
When you sell the broadcast rights to CBS or Fox whomever,
it's up to CBS or Fox.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
To recoup that money means nothing. It doesn't matter if
you boycott for the next ten years, It does not
affect the NFL at all. That's why people don't. They
just don't understand how the business works.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
That's why the NFL going back to the top is
not going to lose any sleep, not.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
None at all.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Theyre going to be sleeping all the way to the bank.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
It's Later with mo Kelly when we come back.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
We talked about Bad Bunny, but I want to change
the direction just a little bit. He was the host
of Saturday Night Live and he delivered the opening monologue.
I want to play a portion of that and also
discuss a portion of that on the heels of this
discussion in just a while.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
So jackiey, can you hang around for a time?
Speaker 5 (16:20):
I surely can.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Can't I, mister Kelly, The Mogals chat is is poppin.
Let's say it is.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
It is giving their thoughts and opinions about what would
be a better quote unquote halftime show for the NFL.
And I was trying to explain to people, people like
charging fifty five who don't actually want to read what
I say.
Speaker 5 (16:59):
Reading it's fundamental.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
It's not fun. It's not mental either.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
My point is just because you personally like an artist,
it doesn't mean that it's a good business sense for
the NFL. She features a halftime show and someone recommended Metallica.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
I like Metallica.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
It'd be a bad idea for a super Bowl halftime
show when your focus is the world, right, not just.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
A small segment.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
And I made the comparison the Motown review would be
a horrible idea.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
I love Motown music.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
It'll be a horrible halftime show, right because you're talking.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
To people, for the most part sixty and older.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Right, versus like when they did the dre and Snoop
dogg rap is also worldwide. So if you're gonna if
you're gonna pick a genre, that was a good show.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
I'm totally talking about business here, not talking about personal likes,
and people far too often talking about why is it
this artist? Why isn't it that artist? Because it's what
you like right now? If you're a sitting in a
marketing meeting and then talking about how can we get
the most eyeballs for the eleven minutes for the would
be non football fans because most of alone will say
(18:08):
most but a lot of the people who are watching
the halftime show, like Kendrick Lamar, they're not interested in
the game. They're not They're trying to get eyeballs because
there's a thirty to thirty five minute pause in between
the first and the second halfs and he's trying to
bridge that gap because originally it was just marching bands.
It wasn't even a thought. And then executives realized, we
have this dip.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
No, well, they realized that because Living Color was stealing
their halftime race.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
That's right, that the Living Color the TV show dedicated
like a live segment during halftime.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Then they were stealing viewers.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
And they weren't coming back. No, that was the whole thing.
You're welcome, America.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
So yeah, you can ask for Metallica, you can ask
for Morgan Wallen, you can ask for any number of artists.
And if you're only thinking about what you like or
a swath of America likes, you don't get the bigger picture.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
That's the problem we're in right now.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Most people in America right now are only thinking about
what they like.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Here we Go Bad Bunny was on SNL and he
had a brief introduction as host and then he went
into the issue of the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
So all this has been a lead up.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
You might not know these, but I'm doing the Super
Bowl half done.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
Show, and.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
I'm very happy.
Speaker 6 (19:36):
I'm very happy, and I think everyone is happy about it,
even even FOLX News bad Bunny.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
This is my favorite musician and he should be president.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
Love thank you, no no, but really, I'm very excited
to be doing this the Bowl, and I know that
people all around the world who love my music are
also happy. A petialment to Latino, especially a Latino la
la Latina and Yaqui and.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
Boil the Latinos here and around the world. I'm trying to.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Say, don't translated. This is practice, Okay, Okay.
Speaker 6 (20:26):
Yaqui and real boil us back Matt Matt Lo romeo
ulo de tolo de motrndo. And if you didn't understand
(20:53):
what I just said, you have four months to learn.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
But I love that.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Okay, let me say this. I think the.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Translation is necessary, Okay, because I was I'm not reading this,
I'm translating in my mind, so it's going to be
a little bit off, but I understand it.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
He was basically saying, you know, he was thanking for.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
The people who opened the doors before him, and the
credit goes to them. But he also ended it with
saying something to the effect of I know this is
not an exact translation.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
We're here, we're not going anywhere, but thank you all
to that.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
It's like the success of this moment is not mine
as those who came before me.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Right.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
I love that. I love that.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
I also loved that as I was watching it, I
love that SNL or whoever, maybe wherever we got that
from the translation also with okay, so the translation also
went up in Spanish. I thought that was very intentional,
the little things like that that I noticed.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
Right there were subtitles, but not they.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Were not in English, and I actually really love that
because it's not necessary.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
There are subtexts.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
You know, we as black Americans in this country, we
have subtexts that we speak that people like what were
y'all talking about? There's it's subtext for us because we're
still speaking English.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
No, but we would say, I'm sorry to interrupted, but
it's important.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
We would say I stand on the shoulders of those
who came before.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
That's what we would say.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
So it was a very similar sentiment.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
And I love him for this. Like I told y'all
last week, I didn't know who this man was. I
knew his name, I hadn't heard his music. But this
SNL thing alone makes me really respect him, because if
you can't respect the people who came before you, then
what are you really doing? And on top of that,
he's not only respecting the people who came before him,
he understands that this moment could potentially open doors for
people who come after him.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
So I'm a big I'm a bad Bunny fan.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Now I can appreciate the historic nature of the moment. Right,
it's historic because I think it believes it brings Puerto
Rico into a much broader light.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Not La Tino artists, but.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Puerto Rico is especially right because you've had Spanish ethnically
Spanish or Mexican port Shakira who's Columbian, or Gloria stefan
y Cube, but you know there has been a Hispanic
touch to the Super Bowl halftime show, but specifically Puerto Ricango. No, yeah, no,
(23:17):
So that's important that I can appreciate someone who is
opening the doors for others and also the slings and
arrows which may come your way as being the first.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Yeah, I always say that every time I say this
to people. When you are the first, there is a
level of responsibility with being the first. There's a level
of hatred that comes when you are the first speak
on But there's also a level of understanding. When you
decide that you are going to fearlessly walk into the
first of something. There's a level of fearlessness you have,
and there's a level of responsibility that you have, and
(23:49):
he has taken that on.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
And I am quite proud of this man.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
I say this because some of the hate which was
thrown his way was, well, he doesn't even speak English.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
He's always been able to speak English.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Yeah, he just didn't choose to sing in English. Now,
whether he sings in English.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Yeah, you know, I hope he doesn't. Yeah, you know
where I stand on that.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Charger fifty five in the chest says Metallica would blow
Bad Bunny off the stage.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Well, you know, probably with their off key old singing.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Look, I love the song Innerstand Man.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
I don't even know how that goes.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
You're gonna give it. You wanna sing a little bit
bad Night? Oh?
Speaker 5 (24:24):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (24:27):
Yeah? That one often.
Speaker 7 (24:29):
Never never, I'm a Metallica fan. I think they'd be
great because they are from the Bay Area, So that's
the one connection I could see.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
I can't argue that the Super Bowl is going to
be in Santa Clair.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
But it's a national stage.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
It's an international stag, international stage. You know.
Speaker 7 (24:46):
I don't argue that at all. I think Bad Bunny
would be great up there. And the league is trying
to promote themselves internationally. The Chargers were just in Brazil
and Sal Paulo. They had was a Carol g performing
the halftime show over the and she's stunning. You could
have Dual Lipa performed the halftime show. There's a lot
of people who are international artists now that the NFL
(25:08):
is an international option for viewers all around the world.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Yeah, people say don't hate an art in the chatta
saying don't hate on Metallica.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
You can, it's your right to do so.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
But my point is you are making a personal decision
and there's really not the business or economics or metrics
to support it. And the NFL is making a decision
about eleven minutes.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
Eleven minutes.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
It doesn't when I say it doesn't matter, it doesn't
matter much if it gets all the Metallica fans in
the world.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
But this is why everybody's not good at business, because
this is this is Charger fifty five ONNTHS to make
an emotional decision, the NFL made a business decision.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
And the two are not the same.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
They are not.
Speaker 7 (25:53):
In nineteen ninety two, Metallica was a business.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
Decisions dance in Metallica the Red Onion. Okay, I could
say that, were.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
They caring about the super Bowl halftime show? No, this
is what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
No, And it's really weird that people are so emotionally
invested in a sport that they may follow but a
halftime show which is completely separate and disconnected from the sport.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
If I'm eleven minutes.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
If I may give the advice that my father gave
to me, get out your feelings and get into the business,
say one more game, because get out your feelings and
get into the business.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
If someone can make a business argument with metrics that
Metallica would be a better business decision than Bad Bunny,
I would hear that argument, and I will also relay
it on the air. But I know, good and damn well,
there's not a better business argument. There's just your personal
preference of music argument, which are two different things. My
(26:54):
personal preference of music, as I said before Motown Review,
that would be a horrible business decision, as a halftime show, right,
because it ages out the NFL when they're looking for
younger fans.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
But it would be a great business decision if you're
going on a soul those one of those lounge tours,
that's right, that would be great.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
Could you imagine Smokey Robinson up there? Job right?
Speaker 5 (27:16):
I would rather not, thank you?
Speaker 4 (27:19):
And do they have the music catalog to do a
great eleven minute?
Speaker 5 (27:23):
Absolutely sure?
Speaker 4 (27:24):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Does it grow the NFL fan base with the brand,
it does not, Thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
Good night.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Let's go beyond the box score with Jackie Ray. The
first story, the biggest story. Former USC star quarterback Mark
Sanchez was arrested after being stabbed multiple times, now charged
with felony assault for allegedly attacking a sixty nine year
(00:27):
old delivery driver. There was a video that Jackie Ray
and I were watching. He was obviously stumbling, intoxicated, and
now he's facing felony charges. He is presently a Fox
Sports analyst. I don't know how much longer he will be,
just knowing how this business works. Jackie Ray, when you
(00:49):
saw the story, what first came to mind?
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Oh that this victim, even though he did some stabbing
in the situation, he has a fantastic lawsuit, in my opinion,
not only against Mark Santez. I know in his lawsuit
he also named uh, the Mark's employer. And I think
that's a smart that is justifiable as well, because anybody
who's been following football for any length of time, Mark
(01:12):
Sanchez and his alcoholism is well documented. This isn't new information.
Like you said, we got to see the video and
he's stumbling.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
In fact, we have it right now on YouTube.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
It's playing on YouTube right perfect.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
You know, as an organization, you know that this man
has this type of drinking problem. He's a liability at best.
You should have somebody around him.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
What we do know is Mark Sanchez. His relevant history
was he was credibly accused of rape while he was
at uscredit.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Those charges sort of went away.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
When he when he paid it off.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Yeah, sorry, allegedly, But there have been other incidents as
far as his use of alcohol and belligerent behavior. To
your point of naming Fox Sports in the lawsuit, Fox
Sports has a greater responsibility here, especially if they knew
or in discovery we find that there were other similar
incidents of violence.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Well, I mean, and even if they're not similar incidents
of violence, I think we can safely say there has
been incidents of him being drunk after him being on
the air. Yes, And so since we know that Fox
already knows he has a problem with alcohol, and if
you are not going to hold him accountable, if you're
not going to demand he goes into rehab, if you're
(02:30):
not going to demand that while he is doing anything
in any capacity for a length of time for Fox,
then you are culpable and to a certain extent. So
this is going This man's gonna win a lot of money.
And let me just say this, to be a sixty
nine year old delivery man.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
I hope he takes the bank.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Mark Sanchez is six two two twenty five former professional
football player. He's under the age of forty, so it's
not like he's out of shape right to think that,
for whatever reason in his drunken stupor that attacking a
sixty nine year old man was a good idea. And
(03:07):
let's be honest. They've shown some of the injuries of
the attack delivery driver.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
He got fed up.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Yeah, yeah, So I claim his self defense.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
It's not gonna be a difficult thing.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Here now, especially not in Indianapolis. They have very very
loose self defense laws. So he's going to be absolutely fine.
Every the law is going to fall squarely on his side.
And Mark Sanchez should have known better. Why are you
using pepper spray on a delivery person?
Speaker 5 (03:30):
Why?
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Well, that goes back to being drunk.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
From what we understand, he was telling the delivery driver
to move, get out, move the car, get out the way,
or something. He didn't like where the delivery driver is,
move right, get out the way, throwing bow's for what
a reason? He didn't like where the delivery driver had
been parts and Mark Sanchez, from all published accounts, was
the aggressor. And then there was a physical altercation which started,
(03:57):
and then after the physical altercation had begun, the delivery driver,
in my estimation, stabbed Mark Sanchez and self defense because
sixty nine year old man is not beating this thirty
five or whatever man in a straight up fight.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Listen, at this point, he's lucky that this man didn't
have a concealed carry license. Let's just be honest, because
this could have ended, you know, a lot more severely
where he should be thankful that this man his only
line of defense was a knife.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
I do like how the media first reported it one way,
and then as they got more information, that narrative shifted
very quickly, because the first time I saw this story
and said, well, Mark Sanchez had been stabbed multiple times,
he's in critical condition, I think, oh my gosh, what
happened was the victim of a robbery, and then it's
more information came and it's like oh no, no, no, no, no,
he attacked the sixty nine year old man, and the
(04:49):
delivery driver defended himself.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Yes, and you know, Mark Sanchez owes not only this
man in apology. He owes Indianapolis an apology, He owes
his Fox and apolog he owes his family and apology
because there's too many people that are in his corner,
that are rooting for him that he is let down
in this moment and he'll never make this right.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
He actually played in the NFL for ten seasons. I
thought it was shorter than that.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Yeah, you only thought it was shorter than that because
he was never good.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
He's another one of those USC products. Talking from a
sports standpoint. If he would have stayed in college longer,
I believe his professional career would have been long.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Maybe, but we'll never know.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Ye.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
But clearly whatever issues he was dealing with at USC,
which may have pushed him to go pro sooner, have
never been addressed.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
And you can't expect them to.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
You can't expect issues that you have, especially when you're
talking about drinking abuse, especially abuse towards women. You can't
expect those problems to go away in the NFL because
the NFL is notoriously good at making those kind of
problems just go away.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Yep, when we come back.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Well, the NFL may have a problem sleeping at night,
at least to the Department of Homeland Securities.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Viewpoint.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Christy Noams said the NFL won't be able to sleep
at night over Bad Bunny super Bowl performance. We'll discuss
that when we come back. It's Later with Mo Kelly
be on the box Score with Jackie Ray I AM
six forty Live everywhere on YouTube, in the Heart Radio app.
And don't forget we have a huge, huge Halloween swar
a party update tonight.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
KFI Later with mo Kelly be on the box Score
with Jackie Ray re live on YouTube and the iHeartRadio app.
Let me refresh what we're getting ready to get into.
Homeland Security Secretary of Christy Nomes said the NFL will
not be quote able to sleep at night close quote.
And that's in regard to his decision to pick Music
Superstar Bad Bunny as the twenty twenty six halftime performer.
(06:49):
Let me start with this because there's so much to
unpack that statement. Yes, we know that Homeland Security is
going to be at every super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
That's not new.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
But to make that affirmative statement in direct response to
Bad Bunny being selected as the artist, you are connecting
quote unquote safety with bad Buddy. When you saw that
statement or saw that story, what came to mind racial profiling.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
I mean, that's the only thing that came to my mind,
because to your point, we all know that Homeland Security
is going to be at the super Bowl. They've always
been there. It would be erroneous for them not to
be there. It's one of the biggest sports events, and
not only in our country, but it's watched worldwide, so
it makes sense for them to be there.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
But to say that you're going.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
To be there specifically because this is an American man,
and I want to emphasize that because everything that I
read it says Puerto Rican artists, Puerto Rico is part
of the United States. You could have just said American
music artists and left it at that. I feel like
there's some intentionality about emphasizing him being Puerto Rican because
now you're really directing attention to his nationality in his race.
(08:01):
And so for me, when you say the Super Bowl,
people who organize the Super Bowl, are not going to
be able to sleep well at night because they have
this American Latino artist performing. You're saying that, we feel
like he's going to have an influx of Latino artists
and we are going to racially profile them.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Let me let me just say this, because let's say
you are of the erroneous notion that Bad Bunny is
not an American.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Let's just say that.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
And let's say you are categorically against non Americans performing
at the super Bowl, as if it's supposed to you
supposedly well wait, wait, I'm gonna get that, as it
supposedly some sort of American event which is only supposed
to feature American artists. Number One, they've only had singer
slash performers since nineteen ninety three. Before that, it was
just college bands, So you've never really cared about the
(08:46):
halftime show.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
It's a more recent phenomenon.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
But if you believe it should be citizens, let me
just remind you. You know, your non NFL fans, these
are all people who were headlining super Bowl halftime shows
who were not Americans or at best later naturalized Rihanna,
Paul McCartney, The Rolling.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Stones, I told you I was gonna get here.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Stick, I forgot about Sting, I didn't you too, Yep,
cold Play, Shakira, Shania Twain, forgot.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
About Shanaia, the weekend, forgot about.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
The weekend, and another eight. Okay, then I go.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
My point is a non American, of which Bad Bunny
is not. A non American headlining the super Bowl has
never been a thing ever, never, And not only that
Bad Bunny he wasn't headlining, but he's been a part
of a previous super Bowl performance.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Right right, Maybe y'all weren't paying attention, but I was.
Right now, Rihanna was. Is the is the biggest one
for me, because we we loved Rihanna. That's where she
unveiled her new pregnancy. Wasn't nobody saying get this non
American off the stage? Nobody said that, right, that was
like three pregnancies ago. But yeah, yeh three dang right
and all these kids, all of them. But my point
is is that what so this is the issue that
(10:04):
I have with everything that's happening in our country right now.
Our country is founded on being a melting pot and
having all kinds of different nationalities really feed into a
system and make it beautiful. And now this administration has
done anything and everything to make it as melanin free
as possible, and nobody's saying anything about it. I feel
that's a very Unamerican thing to do. It's a very
(10:26):
Unamerican thing to not say. Hold on, why shouldn't they
be able to sleep at night? Because it's American artist
is here?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Well, not only that, the NFL is a multinational corporation
and its business extends to some different They had NFL Europe,
which is a filled endeavor, but they still they had
seven preseason games, excuse me, seven games internationally this year.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
So the whole idea of Mexico games Mexico.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
So the idea that the NFL is only a space
for quote unquote a certain type of Americans, not even
just Americans, but a certain type of Americans is is nakedly.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Reprehensible on its face.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
And let me also say this, The NFL is a
private entity, doesn't need to check in with the federal
government for anything, right, And.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Let's let's be clear, a lot of people at that
Super Bowl are going to be there with their corporation
because their corporation has already secured boxes seats and things
of that nature.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Well, that's a great point because the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
If you're thinking that because bad money performing, it means
that all these Latino people and i e. Undocumented wink wink,
are going to show up at the game. That's a
fallacy because the corporate it's a corporate event. There are
very few tickets which are made available to the general public,
and they started like.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Five thousand dollars for the nosebleed seats.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Five thousand, and if you think that someone who's undocumented
is going to roll up to pay those five thousand.
Not that I'm saying that undocumented people are a priori
poor I'm just saying they're not that many general public
people who are going to be there in the first place.
And also, this is something else Goodell is not going
(12:01):
to have a situation where you have people getting arrested
and thrown to the ground hip side for the world
to see.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Right.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
And on top of that, why would anyone go if
they were just a regular citizen, even if obviously I'm
assuming that they are going to be documented, because we
have seen a plethora of people detained by ICE agents
who are documented citizens or just regular born citizens. Of
this country. But because they look the part, they have
(12:30):
been detained. Why would you go to a space where
Homeland Security says, hahi, we're going to be there specifically
to racially profile you.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
And let's just say it does impact who does show
up to the game. It's not going to impact the ratings.
I can tell you right now. The ratings for this
halftime show are going to be through the roof for
all the records that Kendrick Lamar a halftime show made
last year, I expect because there's going to be so
much international entrance. This is a worldwide event, which you've
(12:59):
already indicated, so worldwide events, so worldwide eye is gonna
be watching this. It's going to break all sorts of records,
it is. And what disappoints me more than anything is
this is an eleven minute.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Performance, right, and you're making this big to do. Go
to the bathroom, Go get some food, right, go to
hell for all, go to better help and find you
a damn therapist.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
I don't get it.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Something this is.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
And for as much as again I want to hammer
home this point, for as much as we collective royal,
we we want to keep politics out of our sports
This is all politics. This has nothing to do with sports,
This has nothing to do with music. This has to
do with a public pronouncement of the administration threatening to
(13:47):
intimidate those who allegedly are undocumented from coming to the
Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Right It's all posturing, and that's all this administration has
been doing.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
It's quite an embarrassment.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
At this point, I would hope that somebody in the
White House would say, hey, let's not keep making these
foolish statements just because we can't. I don't think it's
gonna happen, but at this point, I would recommend that
they commend literally the biggest artists in the world right now.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Bad Bunny is, with exception of Taylor Swift, and we
can differentiate Bad Bunny at worst is the number three
streamed artists in the world. In the world, and if
you have a worldwide event catering to the world community,
why in.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
The hell it's good business.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
It's just simple business, right.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
And Taylor Swift, even with her latest album.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Oh wait wait I'm saying, but I forgot something well Fire,
Taylor Swift was offered the halftime.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Get Oh thank god. She didn't take it.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
She turned it down. Adele was offered and she turned
it down.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
So all the people say, well, jac is just seeking
out a certain type of artists. That is actually untrue.
It is not true. Taylor Swift turned it down, Adele
turned it down. I'm sorry that jelly Roll wasn't offered it,
but jelly Roll doesn't command the amount.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
Of attention exactly.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
And if the NFL made a mistake in choosing Bad Bunny,
then let let NFL deal with that. Those made plenty
of mistakes over the years, absolute mistakes. And you know what,
it's not going to make any difference because they're still
going to sell out the commercial ad spots in some
six million for thirty seconds.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
Yet and whoever watched it doesn't watch. It doesn't matter
because they've already sold the broadcast rights. People don't understand
how the business works.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
They really don't.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
When you sell the broadcast rights to CBS or Fox whomever,
it's up to CBS or Fox.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
To recoup that money means nothing. It doesn't matter if
you boycott for the next ten years, It does not
affect the NFL at all. That's why people don't. They
just don't understand how the business works.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
That's why the NFL going back to the top is
not going to lose any sleep, not.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
None at all.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Theyre going to be sleeping all the way to the bank.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
It's Later with mo Kelly when we come back.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
We talked about Bad Bunny, but I want to change
the direction just a little bit. He was the host
of Saturday Night Live and he delivered the opening monologue.
I want to play a portion of that and also
discuss a portion of that on the heels of this
discussion in just a while.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
So jackiey, can you hang around for a time?
Speaker 5 (16:20):
I surely can.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Can't I, mister Kelly, The Mogals chat is is poppin.
Let's say it is.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
It is giving their thoughts and opinions about what would
be a better quote unquote halftime show for the NFL.
And I was trying to explain to people, people like
charging fifty five who don't actually want to read what
I say.
Speaker 5 (16:59):
Reading it's fundamental.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
It's not fun. It's not mental either.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
My point is just because you personally like an artist,
it doesn't mean that it's a good business sense for
the NFL. She features a halftime show and someone recommended Metallica.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
I like Metallica.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
It'd be a bad idea for a super Bowl halftime
show when your focus is the world, right, not just.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
A small segment.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
And I made the comparison the Motown review would be
a horrible idea.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
I love Motown music.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
It'll be a horrible halftime show, right because you're talking.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
To people, for the most part sixty and older.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Right, versus like when they did the dre and Snoop
dogg rap is also worldwide. So if you're gonna if
you're gonna pick a genre, that was a good show.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
I'm totally talking about business here, not talking about personal likes,
and people far too often talking about why is it
this artist? Why isn't it that artist? Because it's what
you like right now? If you're a sitting in a
marketing meeting and then talking about how can we get
the most eyeballs for the eleven minutes for the would
be non football fans because most of alone will say
(18:08):
most but a lot of the people who are watching
the halftime show, like Kendrick Lamar, they're not interested in
the game. They're not They're trying to get eyeballs because
there's a thirty to thirty five minute pause in between
the first and the second halfs and he's trying to
bridge that gap because originally it was just marching bands.
It wasn't even a thought. And then executives realized, we
have this dip.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
No, well, they realized that because Living Color was stealing
their halftime race.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
That's right, that the Living Color the TV show dedicated
like a live segment during halftime.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Then they were stealing viewers.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
And they weren't coming back. No, that was the whole thing.
You're welcome, America.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
So yeah, you can ask for Metallica, you can ask
for Morgan Wallen, you can ask for any number of artists.
And if you're only thinking about what you like or
a swath of America likes, you don't get the bigger picture.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
That's the problem we're in right now.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Most people in America right now are only thinking about
what they like.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Here we Go Bad Bunny was on SNL and he
had a brief introduction as host and then he went
into the issue of the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
So all this has been a lead up.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
You might not know these, but I'm doing the Super
Bowl half done.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
Show, and.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
I'm very happy.
Speaker 6 (19:36):
I'm very happy, and I think everyone is happy about it,
even even FOLX News bad Bunny.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
This is my favorite musician and he should be president.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
Love thank you, no no, but really, I'm very excited
to be doing this the Bowl, and I know that
people all around the world who love my music are
also happy. A petialment to Latino, especially a Latino la
la Latina and Yaqui and.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
Boil the Latinos here and around the world. I'm trying to.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Say, don't translated. This is practice, Okay, Okay.
Speaker 6 (20:26):
Yaqui and real boil us back Matt Matt Lo romeo
ulo de tolo de motrndo. And if you didn't understand
(20:53):
what I just said, you have four months to learn.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
But I love that.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Okay, let me say this. I think the.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Translation is necessary, Okay, because I was I'm not reading this,
I'm translating in my mind, so it's going to be
a little bit off, but I understand it.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
He was basically saying, you know, he was thanking for.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
The people who opened the doors before him, and the
credit goes to them. But he also ended it with
saying something to the effect of I know this is
not an exact translation.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
We're here, we're not going anywhere, but thank you all
to that.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
It's like the success of this moment is not mine
as those who came before me.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Right.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
I love that. I love that.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
I also loved that as I was watching it, I
love that SNL or whoever, maybe wherever we got that
from the translation also with okay, so the translation also
went up in Spanish. I thought that was very intentional,
the little things like that that I noticed.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
Right there were subtitles, but not they.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Were not in English, and I actually really love that
because it's not necessary.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
There are subtexts.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
You know, we as black Americans in this country, we
have subtexts that we speak that people like what were
y'all talking about? There's it's subtext for us because we're
still speaking English.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
No, but we would say, I'm sorry to interrupted, but
it's important.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
We would say I stand on the shoulders of those
who came before.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
That's what we would say.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
So it was a very similar sentiment.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
And I love him for this. Like I told y'all
last week, I didn't know who this man was. I
knew his name, I hadn't heard his music. But this
SNL thing alone makes me really respect him, because if
you can't respect the people who came before you, then
what are you really doing? And on top of that,
he's not only respecting the people who came before him,
he understands that this moment could potentially open doors for
people who come after him.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
So I'm a big I'm a bad Bunny fan.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Now I can appreciate the historic nature of the moment. Right,
it's historic because I think it believes it brings Puerto
Rico into a much broader light.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Not La Tino artists, but.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Puerto Rico is especially right because you've had Spanish ethnically
Spanish or Mexican port Shakira who's Columbian, or Gloria stefan
y Cube, but you know there has been a Hispanic
touch to the Super Bowl halftime show, but specifically Puerto Ricango. No, yeah, no,
(23:17):
So that's important that I can appreciate someone who is
opening the doors for others and also the slings and
arrows which may come your way as being the first.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Yeah, I always say that every time I say this
to people. When you are the first, there is a
level of responsibility with being the first. There's a level
of hatred that comes when you are the first speak
on But there's also a level of understanding. When you
decide that you are going to fearlessly walk into the
first of something. There's a level of fearlessness you have,
and there's a level of responsibility that you have, and
(23:49):
he has taken that on.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
And I am quite proud of this man.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
I say this because some of the hate which was
thrown his way was, well, he doesn't even speak English.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
He's always been able to speak English.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Yeah, he just didn't choose to sing in English. Now,
whether he sings in English.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Yeah, you know, I hope he doesn't. Yeah, you know
where I stand on that.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Charger fifty five in the chest says Metallica would blow
Bad Bunny off the stage.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Well, you know, probably with their off key old singing.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Look, I love the song Innerstand Man.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
I don't even know how that goes.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
You're gonna give it. You wanna sing a little bit
bad Night? Oh?
Speaker 5 (24:24):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (24:27):
Yeah? That one often.
Speaker 7 (24:29):
Never never, I'm a Metallica fan. I think they'd be
great because they are from the Bay Area, So that's
the one connection I could see.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
I can't argue that the Super Bowl is going to
be in Santa Clair.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
But it's a national stage.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
It's an international stag, international stage. You know.
Speaker 7 (24:46):
I don't argue that at all. I think Bad Bunny
would be great up there. And the league is trying
to promote themselves internationally. The Chargers were just in Brazil
and Sal Paulo. They had was a Carol g performing
the halftime show over the and she's stunning. You could
have Dual Lipa performed the halftime show. There's a lot
of people who are international artists now that the NFL
(25:08):
is an international option for viewers all around the world.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Yeah, people say don't hate an art in the chatta
saying don't hate on Metallica.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
You can, it's your right to do so.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
But my point is you are making a personal decision
and there's really not the business or economics or metrics
to support it. And the NFL is making a decision
about eleven minutes.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
Eleven minutes.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
It doesn't when I say it doesn't matter, it doesn't
matter much if it gets all the Metallica fans in
the world.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
But this is why everybody's not good at business, because
this is this is Charger fifty five ONNTHS to make
an emotional decision, the NFL made a business decision.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
And the two are not the same.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
They are not.
Speaker 7 (25:53):
In nineteen ninety two, Metallica was a business.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
Decisions dance in Metallica the Red Onion. Okay, I could
say that, were.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
They caring about the super Bowl halftime show? No, this
is what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
No, And it's really weird that people are so emotionally
invested in a sport that they may follow but a
halftime show which is completely separate and disconnected from the sport.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
If I'm eleven minutes.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
If I may give the advice that my father gave
to me, get out your feelings and get into the business,
say one more game, because get out your feelings and
get into the business.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
If someone can make a business argument with metrics that
Metallica would be a better business decision than Bad Bunny,
I would hear that argument, and I will also relay
it on the air. But I know, good and damn well,
there's not a better business argument. There's just your personal
preference of music argument, which are two different things. My
(26:54):
personal preference of music, as I said before Motown Review,
that would be a horrible business decision, as a halftime show, right,
because it ages out the NFL when they're looking for
younger fans.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
But it would be a great business decision if you're
going on a soul those one of those lounge tours,
that's right, that would be great.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
Could you imagine Smokey Robinson up there? Job right?
Speaker 5 (27:16):
I would rather not, thank you?
Speaker 4 (27:19):
And do they have the music catalog to do a
great eleven minute?
Speaker 5 (27:23):
Absolutely sure?
Speaker 4 (27:24):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Does it grow the NFL fan base with the brand,
it does not, Thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
Good night.
