Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Because now time for Friday Nights with the Nautica de
la Cruz.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
And it is Friday the thirteenth.
Speaker 4 (00:12):
Oo.
Speaker 5 (00:13):
Okay, well it is time for discover La and or
so cal I should say, and I went to the
associates of Brand Library and Arts Center, located at sixteen
oh one West Mountain Street in the city of Glendale.
Now the Brand Library and Art Center is a unique
cultural and education institution located of course in Glendale, California.
(00:35):
Originally was built in nineteen oh four as the Brand
Family Mansion. And those who don't know who the Brand
family was, Leslie Brand was a real estate developer and
developed Glendale in the early nineteen hundred. So like the
Brand Park and so forth a lot of the staples
in Glendale. He was the one that did the architecture
(00:57):
for and also he know he did the real estate.
The space was later transformed. The mansion was later transformed
into a public library in the nineteen fifties, and the
library specializes in music and the arts, offering a collection
of books, recording scores, and other materials that support the
study and enjoyment of visual and performing arts. Unlike regular libraries,
(01:22):
it doesn't focus on general subjects.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
So if you want to go up there and I
don't know.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
Let's say you need to do a paper on psychology,
I'm sorry, you're not going to get that information. But
instead it concentrates on the arts related topics, making it
a valuable resource to artists, musicians, and art lovers.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
I call it the library for basically the arts.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
At the heart of the brand library is the Arts Center,
which provides a space for artists to display their work
and engage with the community. The Center regularly hosts exhibitions
that showcase contempor art from across different paintings, mediums, sculptures, photographs,
digital art, and so forth. In addition to the exhibitions,
(02:10):
the Art Center offers a wide range of art programs
and workshops for all ages. Now.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
These activities often include art.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
Classes, live performances, film screenings, and even lectures by famous
artists and professionals as well. Through these programs, the center
encourages hands on learning and engagement with the arts, helping
people of all skills develop their artists and their abilities
and try to improve them and try to encourage them
(02:38):
as well. Overall, the associates of Brand Library and Art
Center play a vital role in promoting and supporting arts
with the community. By offering free exhibits, exhibitions, affordable classes,
and engaging public programs, they help ensure that the art
and the culture are accessible to everyone.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
The center not only.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
Sots artists, but also enriches the cultural life of Glendale
and beyond, making it a hub for artists, inspiration, and education.
And it is quite an exquisite library and art center.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
I went for an art show. I had never been there.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
I didn't even know this place even existed up on
the very mountain top of Glendale. And they do have
an upcoming exhibition it's called Blended Worlds Experiments in Interplanetary Imagination,
which is happening September twenty first, twenty twenty four, and
it's going to be here till January fourth, twenty twenty five.
(03:40):
But the open ceremony or reception, i should say, is Saturday,
September twenty first, from seven to nine. And on October tenth,
they're showing a free film and it's called Neon. It
explores the magic, beauty, legacy and art of the Neon
sign when they first came out out and it's absolutely free.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
It's five point thirty to eight o'clock.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
And if you'd like some more information, you could go
to Associates a brand dot org. That's Associates of Brand
dot org and they always have stuff going on for
the kids as well. Once again, the address is sixteen
oh one West Mountain Street in Glendale. And I tell
(04:24):
you mo, when I went, I went because I have
a friend who's an artist, and I decided to go.
It was a free gallery that night, and I was
I was driving up the Mountain Street and.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
I was going, Wow, what is this? Is this a university?
Speaker 6 (04:39):
Is this? What is this?
Speaker 5 (04:40):
I didn't even know it was an art gallery, an
art center and a library. But it was, you know,
mister Brand's mansion. So he donated to the city and
made it an art library and it has a gallery
to the left hand side, and it's just stunning and
beautiful and it's the landscaping is I mean, you could
(05:00):
get married there if you needed a place to get married.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Honestly, that's how beautiful it is.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
I appreciate you sharing this because I am self aware
and that I don't know much of anything about art.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
Oh, I cannot. I don't have that eye yes to
be able to appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Now people can point things out to me, but I'm
not going to walk in and look. Now, I can
find photography. I can discern that and I can appreciate it,
but abstract art or art in general, is not something
that I can do. What are some of the things
which really stood out to you or stands out to
you in appreciation of art?
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Well, at this particular gallery, there was you know, when
people think of art, they think of, oh, you know,
either watercolors or acrylic paintings. No, this was how people
made art on hardboard, on just playing canvases on gauze.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
I would never think of anyone doing that.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
Of ripping five hundred different kinds of magazines and making
you know, someone's.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Face out of that.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
It's just it's beautiful, and I think that it's intricate,
you know it, and it's time consuming. Like if you
go to the Hammer Museum, I've talked about this before,
when you go up the stairs, the first thing you
see is this red curtain and it's made out of
like little tin boxes with little pins, and it's i
(06:28):
don't know, it's probably I don't know sixty by sixty.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I'm just you know, throwing out a number here.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
But it's beautiful and someone took the time to make this,
to create this with their ten fingers. You know. That's
what makes art so beautiful. It's the love and the passion.
Not only that, the creativity and the colors. Again, how
can people find it? Where can they find it?
Speaker 7 (06:49):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Yes, it's associates of brand dot org.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
Associates of brand dot org and definitely go check out Neon.
It's I'm giving you the heads up. It's Thursday, October tenth.
It's called Neon Free from five point thirty to eight.
And on next Saturday they're having the open reception for
the upcoming exhibition. It's called Blended Worlds Experiments in Interplanetary Imaginations.
(07:14):
So I might go to that depends. It's my birthday weekend,
so I don't know. See what happens.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Yeah, my wife has some art pieces that in our
house that she finds beautiful.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
I don't see it.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
You don't see it?
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Yeah, And she says, what do you think? I said, uh,
huh huh.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
You just have to agree, as her husband, you have
to agree.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
I just have to agree. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
And for me, I was a big fan of the
artist Ernie Barnes, and people don't know who Ernie Barnes.
His artwork was featured on the television show Good Times
and other places where people best knew him for Good Times,
and I have some of his signed pieces. But outside
of that, and I'm not saying this to mockt I'm
saying that I wish, maybe I need someone to just
walk me through and educate me about the finer points
(08:01):
in the different periods and the different types of art.
I mean there's sculpture artists as well. Yeah, So those
are the things that I appreciate you sharing this because
it reminds me of not only what's available here in
the Los Angeles area, but inexpensive.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
One other thing I want to say is that I've
never talked about this, but I love street art.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Two.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
Like, for example, when you go to Paris, you see
a lot of Parisians that sell their arts on little
you know, four x four's or little canvases, And some
of my favorite pieces are from Harlem. I think I've
spent maybe less than fifty dollars on I don't know
if these artists are even big now because I can't
tell by the signature, but there's the.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Colors and the stories are just beautiful, and you never know.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
You might buy something off the street and go, hey,
it looks good framed, and the next thing you know,
within the next ten years, this person has blown up
and can be a Picasso.
Speaker 6 (08:59):
And you have a whatever, maybe a Georgia O'Keefe.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Yes, yeah, so I think you know, it's an art
to everyone is different. Like you know, you say you
see art in photography right right. Some people see art
in sculpture. Some people see art in painting, some people
see art in crafting. You know, there's different elements of art.
Art is also music. You know, it's an expression. Art
is an expression and we all see it differently, but
(09:25):
we all come together because we love it. So once again,
if you'd like to go see it. It is an
amazing library. It's called Associates a Brand Library and Art
Center and for more information go to Associates a Brand
dot org.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
When we come back to hitting Gym for this week
with Nica de la Cruz, It's Fridays with Naica de
la Cruz.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
I am six forty Live everywhere the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six Fortyfi.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Mister Mo Kelly and Natica Dela Cruz. As we continue
Friday Nights with Nautica.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Thank you Mo.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
Today's hidden gem is Rosalie Suarez. Rosalie Suarez was born
and raised in Los Angeles, but her memory stretched across borders.
As a child, Rosalie vividly recalled her parents working tirelessly
to secure a visa for her grandmother, allowing her to
travel from Mexico to the US and receive the care
she needed. This experience left a deep impression on Rosalie,
(10:23):
watching her parents care for her grandmother with love and dedication.
Inspired by this, Rosalie sat on her own journey into nursing,
initially wanting to become a traveling nurse. Though her love
for travel remained, her heart gravitated towards caring for the elderly,
a passion rooted in her family history. After earning her
(10:44):
nursing degree, Rosalie took a job at a convalescent home,
but the sterile and rigid environment didn't feel like it
was a good fit for her, and for her nurturing spirit.
She quickly transitioned into her dream of becoming a traveling nurse,
where she was able to provide more personal, hands on
care for her patients. Families across the country began hiring
(11:07):
her for her skill and compassionate touch. However, during her
time in Los Angeles, Rosalie noticed something unsettling. Many of
the elderly patients she cared for were not receiving adequate nutrition.
It was during this time that she was introduced to
Project Angel Food, a non profit organization dedicated to ensuring
(11:29):
the people battling critical illnesses receive nutritious meals. Project Angel
Food stands for more than just delivery. Their mission is
to serve the most vulnerable in Los Angeles, providing not
only nutrition, but also hope and dignity to those in need.
Founded in response to the HIV AIDS epidemic, the organization
(11:50):
has expanded its services to include those suffering from a
variety of serious illnesses, from cancer to diabetes. They prepare
and deliver medically tailored meals, ensuring that each recipient receives
the nourishment needed to support their health. Through the efforts
of people like Rosalie, and organizations like Project angel Food,
(12:12):
lives are transformed and communities are uplifted one meal at
a time. In addition to providing life saving nutrition, Project
Angel Food fosters a deep sense of connection and care
within the community. Every meal is carefully crafted by professional
chefs and volunteers, designed to meet the specific nutritional needs
(12:35):
of each individual, whether they're managing heart disease, kidney failure,
or other critical conditions. Beyond just food delivery, the organization
offers a lifeline of emotional support, often being the only
human contact recipients have in their daily lives. Project Angel
(12:56):
Food's holistic approach pairing nutrition with compacts helps to alleviate
isolation and gives patient the strength and the peace of
mind to focus on healing. Their strong commitment to helping
the less fortunate ensure that no one is left behind,
regardless of their financial or health situation. I want to
(13:18):
thank Mss Catherine Cowman who instagrammed me and she referred
me to Rosalie Suarez And if you would like to
volunteer or give a monetary donation, you could always visit
Angelfood dot org.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
They are called.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
Project Angel Food, but their website is Angelfood dot org.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
I'm looking at the website right now, and look, when
you talk about these hidden gems, the people who are
doing this work largely outside of public view, largely without
media focus, without a claim, and they're touching more lives
than and we usually can even imagine. So I got
(14:04):
to ask you, how did you come across Project Angel Food.
Speaker 8 (14:08):
Well, I was referred to Rosalie from Catherine Coleman, who
had hit me up on Instagram, and so she told
me about Rosalie, and she told me about the foundation, and.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
So I researched a little bit of the foundation. I
got to do a zoom with Rosalie because she is busy,
busy and a traveling nurse, and then I asked her
a few questions and then I started looking into Project
Angel Food and I thought that it was such an
amazing organization. I work with another organization i'm an ambassador
(14:43):
for I did something good today dot org and so
we helped the elderly as well, and so it's nice
to connect with people who are helping the less fortunate,
the elderly, who need the care, who need the food
and the delivery of services. I thought that was a
good way to come together.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
There are so many things that we take for granted
that we assume everyone has.
Speaker 6 (15:08):
We assume everyone has food.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
We have assumed that everyone has access to food, and
we sometimes forget me included.
Speaker 6 (15:15):
I'm not trying to remove myself from the equation.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
You lose sight of the fact that, especially with the elderly,
they may not have access to food consistently, may not
have because they may not have transportation, they may not
have the financial means. And this is when you have
organizations like angelfood dot org and Rosalie Swarzho who fill
in the gaps and try to bridge that separation between
(15:38):
people and resources.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
Well, you know, and especially when you're volunteering, and I
speak for myself, you try to do as much as
you can.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Whether it's some elderly.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
Can't have their prescriptions, you know, pick them up and
so they they call an organization is like, hey, can
you know, would you be able to service? And of
course if we have the means that we have the time,
we have a car, we are at their you know,
their home, and I think that's very important. And you know,
when I look up these these when I interview people,
(16:12):
these hn and gems and I look up these organizations.
I start thinking, I don't know if you ever do this,
but I start thinking of myself, like, what is my
life going to be like when I'm seventy plus and
I you know who's going to help me? I need
to I just need to know about these resources because
you never know.
Speaker 6 (16:28):
Oh, look, get out of my head.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
I think about this all the time, and like you,
I'll have a birthday coming up, god willing, relatively soon,
and I think about this, if only because there's actively
thinking about it, because I caring for my mother, making
sure that there's food in her refrigerator, there's food in
her pantry. I'll fill up her car with gas. Those
(16:52):
are the things that I can provide for her very easily.
But a lot of people don't have that, and so
they are stuck or just can't get everything with great ease. Yeah,
I think about what it's going to be like for
me if I should live another twenty five thirty years.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
Of course, And you know, I never thought about this
until I was having a conversation with my mother this week.
My mom has to go next year for her renewal
of her driver's license in June, and she's having a
panic attack because she's like, what.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
If I don't pass my test?
Speaker 6 (17:24):
Look, get out of my wife. I have to do
mine next year.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
I have to read that sign say mister Kelly, the toast,
the letters CDB. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
I'm going to go in the week before, huh and take.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Photos of all the papers so I can say and
memorize him Jesus.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
Well, it's not only the vision test, it's if you're
written to the written test.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (17:47):
And you know my mom she was like, I don't
I just know how to drive. I don't remember the rules.
I was like, well, you know, it's something that you
have to do. And she's just scared that if she
doesn't pass, they're gonna, you know, revoke.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Her her driver's license.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
We'll just make it and then you know, I'll be
driving miss Daisy.
Speaker 6 (18:06):
You know it's a blessing. Yes, and it's a blessing.
I'll just say that, I tell.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
You most definitely.
Speaker 5 (18:11):
But but if you have some time to look up
the foundation and if you'd like to volunteer donate, please
go to.
Speaker 3 (18:18):

Speaker 5 (18:20):
I'm always willing to accept your messages referrals. You can
find me on Instagram at Nautica de la Cruise Nautica
de la Cruise, and you could email me Nautica de
la Cruise at yahoo dot com.
Speaker 6 (18:34):
Thank you so much, Nautica de la Cruise. You're welcome.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
kf I a M six forty. Mark talks about Poptificate,
a pop culture ron and Report with Mark.
Speaker 7 (18:56):
Ronner KFI Mo Kelly, Mark Ronner Now with the Rotter
Report tonight, we're talking about Speak No Evil, and to me,
that involves as much willing suspension of disbelief as a
(19:16):
superhero movie or a Kaiju monster movie, because I don't
trust anyone, and I haven't felt comfortable traveling in a while.
And I'm also just too blunt and rude to get
sucked into the kind of situation you see in the movie.
But I am a fairly bad judge of people, so
that was my way in. Here's the deal. An American
couple and their young daughter are traveling in Europe and
they meet a fun, friendly British couple with a kid
(19:38):
of their own. They bond over boozy dinners and mocking
the other bores and stiffs who are traveling. Here's a
bit of the trailer.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
This is my husband Ben Patrick Feld. This is my
wife Kira.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
This is Agnes. Has some trouble communicating. You can give
a bit insecure.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
That's Bestpa, Yeah, should try it, yill we I won't
call the fun police if you don't.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Okay, can me kill me.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Before I quit my practice? You're a lawyer, listen to
you have to come and visit. Yeah, that'd mean great?
Yeah yeah done? So quiet around here. I don't even
have any neighbors.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
You made it welcome, Welcome.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
You VIP guests, just to remind you.
Speaker 9 (20:25):
Of vegetaria, our gifts to you, we stoptors orders, very good,
settle and I promise you guys, it could be a
great week here.
Speaker 7 (20:42):
Well, spoiler, it's not a great weekend. If you hear
that music on a trip, turn the car around. This
British couple invites the Americans to come visit them for
a weekend sometimes and and this is where it becomes
a fantasy, because most Americans would say love to, can't wait,
and never do it. We do that with everything, lunch, weekend,
invitation to Moe's house, everything, Huh, let's move on. But
(21:05):
a weird cultural thing I learned when I lived in
Scotland is that when Brits and Europeans invite you to
do stuff, they actually mean it, and if you accept,
you sort of have to do it. You're expected to.
This led to some situations nobody can prove anything, and
when this American couple accepts the invite in the movie,
things slowly get uncomfortable, then they get weird, then they
(21:26):
get dangerous, then frightening. The British couples played by James McAvoy,
the only really recognizable star in the cast, and Aisling Franciosi.
The Americans are Scott McNary from Halt and Catch Fire
and Mackenzie Davis, who was also in that show as
well as Terminator Dark Fate. You remember her, the one
with the short hair, who the robot who protected the family.
Speaker 6 (21:45):
I sure do, because I love Halt and catch Fire.
Speaker 7 (21:47):
Okay, Okay, so I didn't recognize them immediately, which worked
better for me In the movie, because all bets are off.
It seems like this Yankee couple is uptight and has
some festering issues that come out gradually, as well as
a twelve year old daughter with an unhealthy attachment to
a stuffed animal toy, which you know right away is
going to be like the old Chekhov gun on the table.
(22:08):
Can't be good. The brit couple are free spirits. They
are bon vivants, eager for discussion and debate about personal
things that we don't tend to talk about, pushing boundaries.
What no swimsuits, No problem, and let me fill that
glass too while we're at it. Maybe this is what
the uptight Yanks need, maybe to help them loosen up.
Or are they going to suggest some dirty stuff a
(22:29):
game of twister. The little boy of the British couple
has an issue of his own. He's mute, more like
Chekhov's tongue on the table. Can't be good. Mute children
always a red flag. You want them to shut up,
but not to be fully mute. This is a slow
burn thriller Pardon Me, whose main attraction is macavoid chewing
up the scenery, acting like a mercurial, charismatic nutcase, and
(22:52):
it's cinema of discomfort as much as a thriller. It
relies a lot on the cultural norms of behavior, which
seem more insane the situation gets when you speak up
when somebody's out of line, especially if you're a guest
at their house, or if they tell your kid what
to do, or if you see them being too rough
with their kid, or how about this, if you ever
(23:14):
had an argument when you get home because you didn't
think your partner was backing you up in front of
the other people. Yes, I'm clenching up right now. Speak
no Evil reminded me of Paul Schrader's The Comfort of
Strangers way back in Prehistoric nineteen ninety with Christopher Walken
and Helen Mirren as the wild couple. That's a good
creep out movie, worth a watch, worth seeking out. This
(23:35):
is also what would you do a movie? How much
will you go along with to avoid an awkward confrontation
or being a rude guest. It's easy to imagine this
kind of stuff set in Japan, but honestly, it's not
like Americans aren't plenty easy to wind up. The Yankee
wife here, as you're heard in the trailer, doesn't eat meat,
but you'll eat fish, and she prefers it. Line caught
by the way, well, what if that ain't on the
menu at dinner with the people you're staying with. I've
(23:57):
had these kind of Indiana jones. You're in habarrassing me,
whispered conversations when we were served haggis during a much
later trip to Scotland. It didn't spiral into the over
the top violence you're going to get in the third
act here, but I can see where the filmmaker got
the idea. The director and co writer, well writer actually,
i'll explain that his name is James Watkins, and he
(24:18):
also did a pretty respectable remake of The Woman in
Black in twenty twelve with Daniel Radcliffe seriously, and Speak
No Evil is also a remake of a Danish thriller
from twenty twenty two same name. You can find that
streaming for free on free v I say he's the
co writer because the original writers of the Danish movie
also get credit. Bottom line here, Speak No Evil is
(24:38):
a change of pace. It's cringey, It's worth a watch.
I'm not sure you need to watch it in the theater, sorry, publicist.
It seems relatively tame and puritanical to me compared with
what you might see in a European movie, and it
also suffers from obviousness and stretches. On the other hand,
that obviousness also contributes to the tension because you know
what's coming.
Speaker 6 (24:58):
So that's kind of a wash.
Speaker 7 (25:00):
And even though it's not a walking in slow motion
away from an explosion type of movie, the last act
does seem like it might have been focus grouped in America,
possibly by Frank Luntz wearing that horrific to pay of
his I'm not joking. Oh that is a two pay.
It's like a two paid Deadpool would look at and
too phony. Can't go with that. Imagine being a weekend
(25:21):
guest at the Lunzes and trying not to stare at
her talk about that grotesque hair rug creature on his
head or as you get more liquored up, not just
grabbing it off his head, but if you did grab it,
you know, it'd be kind of wet.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
Mo.
Speaker 7 (25:33):
Why did you force me to go into this? What
kind of Sickoh? Are you You're going to suggest some
naked twister?
Speaker 4 (25:38):
Now?
Speaker 6 (25:38):
What's going on? Well? I was wondering.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
You know, when you say Frank Luntz, first you have
to ask Taula about his story when he tried to
book Frank Lunz for this show. I've known Frank for many,
many years. Yes, I had no idea, and I spotted
the rug. Please, I've seen the rug in its various
iterations over the years. Okay, change has gotten more, and
it's gotten better and it's gotten worse. But anyhow, I
(26:02):
got to ask Twala about that because I asked him
because I have his number, and Twalla had to call him.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
I'll let you tell Let him tell you that story.
Speaker 7 (26:10):
Oh I wish I had known that before. You tell
him for me. When it comes to the rugs, less
is more, Okay, don't go from thinning or gone to
beatles wig.
Speaker 6 (26:21):
Yeah, he went nineteen seventies almost long hair.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Hif you look and it's like, okay, we do what
it looked like last week, Frank.
Speaker 6 (26:29):
But you know, I digress. I thought, actually you would
have liked it. I thought this just from the previews.
I thought it was going to be something that you'd
be really into.
Speaker 7 (26:37):
Well, the bottom line is that it's good but mixed,
and I'm not sure it's the kind of movie that
demands you see it on a big screen. It's worth seeing,
for sure, but it's not my favorite thing like this
of all time. Because the end felt to me without
spoiling anything at all. It felt like kind of a
concession for American audiences who demand a certain kind of thing.
Speaker 6 (26:57):
Was it something that you completely saw coming.
Speaker 7 (27:00):
Lots of stuff you see coming, but that is part
of the build ups. So, like I said, it's a
little bit of a wash you. It really makes you uncomfortable,
I'll tell you that. So if you're looking for a
Friday the thirteenth weekend kind of thing, you could do
worse than this one.
Speaker 6 (27:14):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
That interests me because the whole type of tension at
the dinner table and being in someone else's house that
usually makes for a good cinematic experience.
Speaker 7 (27:24):
Yeah, and it's I mentioned it's a change of pace too.
I mean, we see a lot of blockbusters that are
just filled with shooting people and action and car chases.
It's good to see, you know, a different kind of
movie now and then it changes things up, and it's
really about making people uncomfortable and wondering what you'd do
in that situation. I don't know about you, but I
remember the ancient times when it was very popular to
(27:46):
go to a movie and then talk about it afterwards.
You remember talking about movies? I do I do, And
when we would go to the movies, we'd talk about
it afterwards. We talked about how bad Aquaman two was. Yeah,
well this is no Aquaman too, but it's definitely talker.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
It's like, what would you have done there?
Speaker 7 (28:02):
I can't believe that they did that or if she
did that to him or that kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
So it's I think it's pretty provocative. Well, when you
get some free time, not that you have any, but
when you get some free time, make sure you go
to Twala ask him about booking Frank Lunz, and then
I'll tell you my Frank lunch stories, and then also
ask him about the time we tried to book Amorosa
Manigo on the show.
Speaker 7 (28:23):
I'm doing it as soon as I get done with
the news on this break right now. Oh wait, good stories.
Good stories can't buy am six forty. It's later with
bo Kelly. We're Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 6 (28:37):
When moo Kelly on.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. It's now story time.
Last segment, Mark Ronner, in the middle of the Runner
report made reference to Republican polster Frank Lunz.
Speaker 7 (28:57):
Well specifically, yes, pecifically.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Yeah, okay, but the point is you called him out
by name. And I have a history with Frank Lunz.
I used to book him for a number of shows
over the course of years. He should know me because
I was calling him like every other month to book
him for a particular radio show, got all of his
(29:22):
important details. When I started doing the mo' kelly show
and we were doing more politics, I said, hey, you
know what, why don't we get Frank Lunz on the show.
And so I gave the information to Tuala to call
Frank Lunz and and I said, let him know this,
let him know that, let him know that you got
(29:43):
my number from him, let you know, let him know
that you got his number from me and everything. And
it didn't really go too well. And I'm gonna get
Tawala come in here to tell the story himself in
just a second. But also the it was Amerosa or
she pronounced it a morosa, a Morosa manigal, and she
(30:06):
had just left the White House after uh she released
her book and left the White House working for Donald Trump. Okay,
here's tell the story about Frank Lunch and then we'll
do amrosa real quick.
Speaker 10 (30:20):
All I remember about Frank Lunz is reaching out and
getting quite possibly the most funky ass, yeah, funky ass
attitude ever definitely goes on my poop list, absolutely goes
to my poop list of people I would never ever,
ever ever contact again. I can't even remember. And I was,
(30:42):
you know, to reach out to people, especially be able
to show do my best to be as polite, you know.
Mister laun says that no, wasn't having it at all
at all. Literally try to ask. I mean, you would
have thought I was asking him if I could come
over and beat his mother to death or something on
me the way the response, the response was absolutely funky
(31:04):
and filthy, and.
Speaker 6 (31:07):
I remember saying, we will never ask again.
Speaker 10 (31:10):
Ever, ever, ever again again because this is like we're
not We're not trying to do us a favor. We're
trying to speak to let you have your say yeah,
no not having it.
Speaker 6 (31:21):
And that's what people forget.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
People are like, why don't you talk to so and so,
Why don't you have so and so on?
Speaker 6 (31:26):
The person has to say yes.
Speaker 10 (31:28):
And when we reach out, we reach out, and you know,
we don't get to get into the whole conversation of
this is not a gotcha interview. We're not trying to
set you up. This is to literally let you have
your say.
Speaker 6 (31:40):
This is quite.
Speaker 10 (31:40):
Possibly the most fair and balanced conversation you will have.
Speaker 6 (31:43):
Didn't you get into all that?
Speaker 5 (31:46):
Then?
Speaker 2 (31:46):
As I was getting ready to tell the story and
I want Tawala to tell it. Years later, we were
gonna have on Alma Rosa Manigo on the show. I
believe she had just left the White House, yep, wrote
her book or whatever she was doing media. And I
have her cell phone number as well because I had
booked her for other shows.
Speaker 7 (32:05):
I got a pretty good rolodex. Okay, yes, I'm bragging.
Also the word rolodex I.
Speaker 6 (32:10):
Know in my contacts. How about that? Uh?
Speaker 2 (32:15):
And I said, Twala, here's her number, see if you
can get her on.
Speaker 6 (32:19):
What happened?
Speaker 10 (32:20):
Twala went into and we were trying to make this
happen like immediately because there was like a storm of
media frenzy all around.
Speaker 6 (32:28):
She just left the White House, did that?
Speaker 10 (32:29):
And I was like, I got her number, let's get
her on right now so she can express why she left,
talk about the book.
Speaker 6 (32:34):
Bye bye by by by by bye bye bye.
Speaker 10 (32:36):
I call and the phone rings and she answers, A'mrosa,
and I said, uh, I believe it was still Madical
at the time she was married, So I said, miss Madical,
how you doing.
Speaker 6 (32:48):
My name is Twyla Sharp. I'm the producer of the
Mo Kelly Show.
Speaker 10 (32:51):
We are calling to invite you to come on to
discuss your exiting in the White House and discuss the
release of your book.
Speaker 9 (32:57):
Who is this?
Speaker 6 (32:58):
How'd you get to the click? Let him get all
that out?
Speaker 5 (33:03):
All that?
Speaker 9 (33:04):
Who's this? How'd you get this?
Speaker 6 (33:05):
A click? Not how did you get this number? How
did you get this? Click? Click?
Speaker 2 (33:12):
And I'm quite sure Twala would have answered the question
if he was given the opportunity.
Speaker 10 (33:16):
If given the opportunity, I would have actually explained to
her who I was, what station was calling from. If
you would have just heard the name KFI, she would
have been able to say, oh my bad, Yes.
Speaker 6 (33:25):
I want to come. I'll talk to more. I know Mo.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
She didn't even let me get that out. Yeah, so
forget her. And we have met multiple times. It's not
like I had to steal the number from somebody, you know.
I came by it legitimately. Oh that's hilarious. I don't
think most celebrities understand that when they're rude or when
they lose they're cool, you're going to report on that,
and that's going to make even more people read it.
(33:48):
It's kind of like related to the streisand effect, where
if you don't want something talked about, it gets talked
about ten times more. Like Sally I think I mentioned
this to you before. Sally Field got mad at me
in an interview long time ago for a terrible movie
she was in.
Speaker 7 (34:03):
I asked her a flying nun question. I asked her
about method acting, and she blew up at me. Well,
when I got back and turned in my article, the
editor working gave it the headline Gidget Goes Ballistic, which
was ten times more entertaining than any normal interview we
were going to have.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
You know, and I know people are there are some
who work in this business who are going to use
gotcha questions. They are going to push you in a
corner and maybe ask inappropriate questions.
Speaker 6 (34:35):
But I can't speak for you, Mark Ronnerd. That is
something I have never done.
Speaker 7 (34:38):
Well, Yeah, if you want to make the ground rules
clear going in, like if it's going to be adversarial,
you can't pearl Harbor somebody, you should let them know. Hey,
you know this isn't a puff piece. I'm going to
ask you some difficult things or you know, you just
have to be fair. And I should point out, by
the way that my roasting of Frank Lunz has nothing
to do with politics. It's all to do with that
(35:00):
thing on his head. If you wear that in public,
it's fair game for people to call out and talk about.
Speaker 6 (35:06):
Asking for it.
Speaker 7 (35:07):
Well, I'm not wearing one of those. But here's another
funny one. Winston Groom, the author of Forrest Gump. Do
you remember Forrest Gump?
Speaker 6 (35:16):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (35:16):
So years ago I was covering the Heartland Film Festival
in Indianapolis, and I didn't I hadn't gotten anything the
whole night, and I see Groom had given a speech
and it was the end of the thing, and I
was standing outside and I see Winston Groom coming out
and I say, mister Groom, I can I just have
a minute of your time talk to you? And he's like,
come and get in the limo with me, and he
(35:37):
takes me to the hotel bar where he's staying to
buy me a drink and do the interview. At the
hotel bar. The bar is really crowded when we get there.
On the way in the in the limousine. Though he's
told me, you know the story of Forrest Gump, it's
just about a simple, decent man trying to live with dignity.
We get to the bar, The bar is crowded, and
this distinguished Southern gentleman looks around and shouts at the
(36:00):
top of his lungs. Who do I have to have
to get a drink in this place? You know?
Speaker 2 (36:07):
One thing I do like about this business is you
get the behind the scenes feeling of who a person is.
A give example, one of the most accessible people, and
you would be surprised given his how people think of
him in the news. Alan Dershowitz, he will he will
answer his email. He will always respond I read. I'd
(36:30):
actually booked him a few times, and he had come
on our show right before the impeachment in which he
was defending Donald Trump.
Speaker 7 (36:40):
I spoke to him before that, years before that, and
he was a little snippy with me. No, he's snippy,
but he'll respond yeah. I mean he's very hierarchical. Hierarchical
in his responses to people, like if you're on the
a list. Yeah, he'll be a lot nicer to you
than if you're like with some Gennett paper someplace, which
I was at the time.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
Look, all I can say was, you know, he emailed
me and he was short. It's like, okay, so when
you want to do it, how much time?
Speaker 6 (37:04):
All right? And then he call me all the blues
like can we do it now? It's like okay, all right,
sure coming up next Tolan's wow.
Speaker 5 (37:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (37:13):
Yeah, it's funny.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
People have no idea what goes on behind the scenes
with a lot of these guests, especially political ones.
Speaker 6 (37:19):
There's so much going on.
Speaker 7 (37:20):
I think those of us who have been in this
business for a little while, we tend to sort of
collect our rude celebrity stories and share them usually you know,
around the table having a drink afterwards, or right now
when millions of people are listening.
Speaker 6 (37:35):
That's right, because we're always going to get the last word.
With this microphone.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
It's later with Moe Kelly KF I am six forty.
We are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 6 (37:44):
If there's news, it's things shift.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
If they stay the same, things change.
Speaker 6 (37:48):
For better or worse. Regardless of what's happening, you're going
to hear and here. It's what we do. K F
I'm the kost HD two.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
Los Angeles, Orange County eyes
Speaker 6 (38:00):
Everywhere on the Young Art Radio app
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Because now time for Friday Nights with the Nautica de
la Cruz.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
And it is Friday the thirteenth.
Speaker 4 (00:12):
Oo.
Speaker 5 (00:13):
Okay, well it is time for discover La and or
so cal I should say, and I went to the
associates of Brand Library and Arts Center, located at sixteen
oh one West Mountain Street in the city of Glendale.
Now the Brand Library and Art Center is a unique
cultural and education institution located of course in Glendale, California.
(00:35):
Originally was built in nineteen oh four as the Brand
Family Mansion. And those who don't know who the Brand
family was, Leslie Brand was a real estate developer and
developed Glendale in the early nineteen hundred. So like the
Brand Park and so forth a lot of the staples
in Glendale. He was the one that did the architecture
(00:57):
for and also he know he did the real estate.
The space was later transformed. The mansion was later transformed
into a public library in the nineteen fifties, and the
library specializes in music and the arts, offering a collection
of books, recording scores, and other materials that support the
study and enjoyment of visual and performing arts. Unlike regular libraries,
(01:22):
it doesn't focus on general subjects.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
So if you want to go up there and I
don't know.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
Let's say you need to do a paper on psychology,
I'm sorry, you're not going to get that information. But
instead it concentrates on the arts related topics, making it
a valuable resource to artists, musicians, and art lovers.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
I call it the library for basically the arts.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
At the heart of the brand library is the Arts Center,
which provides a space for artists to display their work
and engage with the community. The Center regularly hosts exhibitions
that showcase contempor art from across different paintings, mediums, sculptures, photographs,
digital art, and so forth. In addition to the exhibitions,
(02:10):
the Art Center offers a wide range of art programs
and workshops for all ages. Now.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
These activities often include art.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
Classes, live performances, film screenings, and even lectures by famous
artists and professionals as well. Through these programs, the center
encourages hands on learning and engagement with the arts, helping
people of all skills develop their artists and their abilities
and try to improve them and try to encourage them
(02:38):
as well. Overall, the associates of Brand Library and Art
Center play a vital role in promoting and supporting arts
with the community. By offering free exhibits, exhibitions, affordable classes,
and engaging public programs, they help ensure that the art
and the culture are accessible to everyone.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
The center not only.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
Sots artists, but also enriches the cultural life of Glendale
and beyond, making it a hub for artists, inspiration, and education.
And it is quite an exquisite library and art center.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
I went for an art show. I had never been there.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
I didn't even know this place even existed up on
the very mountain top of Glendale. And they do have
an upcoming exhibition it's called Blended Worlds Experiments in Interplanetary Imagination,
which is happening September twenty first, twenty twenty four, and
it's going to be here till January fourth, twenty twenty five.
(03:40):
But the open ceremony or reception, i should say, is Saturday,
September twenty first, from seven to nine. And on October tenth,
they're showing a free film and it's called Neon. It
explores the magic, beauty, legacy and art of the Neon
sign when they first came out out and it's absolutely free.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
It's five point thirty to eight o'clock.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
And if you'd like some more information, you could go
to Associates a brand dot org. That's Associates of Brand
dot org and they always have stuff going on for
the kids as well. Once again, the address is sixteen
oh one West Mountain Street in Glendale. And I tell
(04:24):
you mo, when I went, I went because I have
a friend who's an artist, and I decided to go.
It was a free gallery that night, and I was
I was driving up the Mountain Street and.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
I was going, Wow, what is this? Is this a university?
Speaker 6 (04:39):
Is this? What is this?
Speaker 5 (04:40):
I didn't even know it was an art gallery, an
art center and a library. But it was, you know,
mister Brand's mansion. So he donated to the city and
made it an art library and it has a gallery
to the left hand side, and it's just stunning and
beautiful and it's the landscaping is I mean, you could
(05:00):
get married there if you needed a place to get married.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Honestly, that's how beautiful it is.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
I appreciate you sharing this because I am self aware
and that I don't know much of anything about art.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
Oh, I cannot. I don't have that eye yes to
be able to appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Now people can point things out to me, but I'm
not going to walk in and look. Now, I can
find photography. I can discern that and I can appreciate it,
but abstract art or art in general, is not something
that I can do. What are some of the things
which really stood out to you or stands out to
you in appreciation of art?
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Well, at this particular gallery, there was you know, when
people think of art, they think of, oh, you know,
either watercolors or acrylic paintings. No, this was how people
made art on hardboard, on just playing canvases on gauze.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
I would never think of anyone doing that.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
Of ripping five hundred different kinds of magazines and making
you know, someone's.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Face out of that.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
It's just it's beautiful, and I think that it's intricate,
you know it, and it's time consuming. Like if you
go to the Hammer Museum, I've talked about this before,
when you go up the stairs, the first thing you
see is this red curtain and it's made out of
like little tin boxes with little pins, and it's i
(06:28):
don't know, it's probably I don't know sixty by sixty.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I'm just you know, throwing out a number here.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
But it's beautiful and someone took the time to make this,
to create this with their ten fingers. You know. That's
what makes art so beautiful. It's the love and the passion.
Not only that, the creativity and the colors. Again, how
can people find it? Where can they find it?
Speaker 7 (06:49):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Yes, it's associates of brand dot org.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
Associates of brand dot org and definitely go check out Neon.
It's I'm giving you the heads up. It's Thursday, October tenth.
It's called Neon Free from five point thirty to eight.
And on next Saturday they're having the open reception for
the upcoming exhibition. It's called Blended Worlds Experiments in Interplanetary Imaginations.
(07:14):
So I might go to that depends. It's my birthday weekend,
so I don't know. See what happens.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Yeah, my wife has some art pieces that in our
house that she finds beautiful.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
I don't see it.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
You don't see it?
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Yeah, And she says, what do you think? I said, uh,
huh huh.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
You just have to agree, as her husband, you have
to agree.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
I just have to agree. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
And for me, I was a big fan of the
artist Ernie Barnes, and people don't know who Ernie Barnes.
His artwork was featured on the television show Good Times
and other places where people best knew him for Good Times,
and I have some of his signed pieces. But outside
of that, and I'm not saying this to mockt I'm
saying that I wish, maybe I need someone to just
walk me through and educate me about the finer points
(08:01):
in the different periods and the different types of art.
I mean there's sculpture artists as well. Yeah, So those
are the things that I appreciate you sharing this because
it reminds me of not only what's available here in
the Los Angeles area, but inexpensive.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
One other thing I want to say is that I've
never talked about this, but I love street art.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Two.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
Like, for example, when you go to Paris, you see
a lot of Parisians that sell their arts on little
you know, four x four's or little canvases, And some
of my favorite pieces are from Harlem. I think I've
spent maybe less than fifty dollars on I don't know
if these artists are even big now because I can't
tell by the signature, but there's the.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Colors and the stories are just beautiful, and you never know.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
You might buy something off the street and go, hey,
it looks good framed, and the next thing you know,
within the next ten years, this person has blown up
and can be a Picasso.
Speaker 6 (08:59):
And you have a whatever, maybe a Georgia O'Keefe.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Yes, yeah, so I think you know, it's an art
to everyone is different. Like you know, you say you
see art in photography right right. Some people see art
in sculpture. Some people see art in painting, some people
see art in crafting. You know, there's different elements of art.
Art is also music. You know, it's an expression. Art
is an expression and we all see it differently, but
(09:25):
we all come together because we love it. So once again,
if you'd like to go see it. It is an
amazing library. It's called Associates a Brand Library and Art
Center and for more information go to Associates a Brand
dot org.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
When we come back to hitting Gym for this week
with Nica de la Cruz, It's Fridays with Naica de
la Cruz.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
I am six forty Live everywhere the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six Fortyfi.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Mister Mo Kelly and Natica Dela Cruz. As we continue
Friday Nights with Nautica.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Thank you Mo.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
Today's hidden gem is Rosalie Suarez. Rosalie Suarez was born
and raised in Los Angeles, but her memory stretched across borders.
As a child, Rosalie vividly recalled her parents working tirelessly
to secure a visa for her grandmother, allowing her to
travel from Mexico to the US and receive the care
she needed. This experience left a deep impression on Rosalie,
(10:23):
watching her parents care for her grandmother with love and dedication.
Inspired by this, Rosalie sat on her own journey into nursing,
initially wanting to become a traveling nurse. Though her love
for travel remained, her heart gravitated towards caring for the elderly,
a passion rooted in her family history. After earning her
(10:44):
nursing degree, Rosalie took a job at a convalescent home,
but the sterile and rigid environment didn't feel like it
was a good fit for her, and for her nurturing spirit.
She quickly transitioned into her dream of becoming a traveling nurse,
where she was able to provide more personal, hands on
care for her patients. Families across the country began hiring
(11:07):
her for her skill and compassionate touch. However, during her
time in Los Angeles, Rosalie noticed something unsettling. Many of
the elderly patients she cared for were not receiving adequate nutrition.
It was during this time that she was introduced to
Project Angel Food, a non profit organization dedicated to ensuring
(11:29):
the people battling critical illnesses receive nutritious meals. Project Angel
Food stands for more than just delivery. Their mission is
to serve the most vulnerable in Los Angeles, providing not
only nutrition, but also hope and dignity to those in need.
Founded in response to the HIV AIDS epidemic, the organization
(11:50):
has expanded its services to include those suffering from a
variety of serious illnesses, from cancer to diabetes. They prepare
and deliver medically tailored meals, ensuring that each recipient receives
the nourishment needed to support their health. Through the efforts
of people like Rosalie, and organizations like Project angel Food,
(12:12):
lives are transformed and communities are uplifted one meal at
a time. In addition to providing life saving nutrition, Project
Angel Food fosters a deep sense of connection and care
within the community. Every meal is carefully crafted by professional
chefs and volunteers, designed to meet the specific nutritional needs
(12:35):
of each individual, whether they're managing heart disease, kidney failure,
or other critical conditions. Beyond just food delivery, the organization
offers a lifeline of emotional support, often being the only
human contact recipients have in their daily lives. Project Angel
(12:56):
Food's holistic approach pairing nutrition with compacts helps to alleviate
isolation and gives patient the strength and the peace of
mind to focus on healing. Their strong commitment to helping
the less fortunate ensure that no one is left behind,
regardless of their financial or health situation. I want to
(13:18):
thank Mss Catherine Cowman who instagrammed me and she referred
me to Rosalie Suarez And if you would like to
volunteer or give a monetary donation, you could always visit
Angelfood dot org.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
They are called.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
Project Angel Food, but their website is Angelfood dot org.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
I'm looking at the website right now, and look, when
you talk about these hidden gems, the people who are
doing this work largely outside of public view, largely without
media focus, without a claim, and they're touching more lives
than and we usually can even imagine. So I got
(14:04):
to ask you, how did you come across Project Angel Food.
Speaker 8 (14:08):
Well, I was referred to Rosalie from Catherine Coleman, who
had hit me up on Instagram, and so she told
me about Rosalie, and she told me about the foundation, and.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
So I researched a little bit of the foundation. I
got to do a zoom with Rosalie because she is busy,
busy and a traveling nurse, and then I asked her
a few questions and then I started looking into Project
Angel Food and I thought that it was such an
amazing organization. I work with another organization i'm an ambassador
(14:43):
for I did something good today dot org and so
we helped the elderly as well, and so it's nice
to connect with people who are helping the less fortunate,
the elderly, who need the care, who need the food
and the delivery of services. I thought that was a
good way to come together.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
There are so many things that we take for granted
that we assume everyone has.
Speaker 6 (15:08):
We assume everyone has food.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
We have assumed that everyone has access to food, and
we sometimes forget me included.
Speaker 6 (15:15):
I'm not trying to remove myself from the equation.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
You lose sight of the fact that, especially with the elderly,
they may not have access to food consistently, may not
have because they may not have transportation, they may not
have the financial means. And this is when you have
organizations like angelfood dot org and Rosalie Swarzho who fill
in the gaps and try to bridge that separation between
(15:38):
people and resources.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
Well, you know, and especially when you're volunteering, and I
speak for myself, you try to do as much as
you can.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Whether it's some elderly.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
Can't have their prescriptions, you know, pick them up and
so they they call an organization is like, hey, can
you know, would you be able to service? And of
course if we have the means that we have the time,
we have a car, we are at their you know,
their home, and I think that's very important. And you know,
when I look up these these when I interview people,
(16:12):
these hn and gems and I look up these organizations.
I start thinking, I don't know if you ever do this,
but I start thinking of myself, like, what is my
life going to be like when I'm seventy plus and
I you know who's going to help me? I need
to I just need to know about these resources because
you never know.
Speaker 6 (16:28):
Oh, look, get out of my head.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
I think about this all the time, and like you,
I'll have a birthday coming up, god willing, relatively soon,
and I think about this, if only because there's actively
thinking about it, because I caring for my mother, making
sure that there's food in her refrigerator, there's food in
her pantry. I'll fill up her car with gas. Those
(16:52):
are the things that I can provide for her very easily.
But a lot of people don't have that, and so
they are stuck or just can't get everything with great ease. Yeah,
I think about what it's going to be like for
me if I should live another twenty five thirty years.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
Of course, And you know, I never thought about this
until I was having a conversation with my mother this week.
My mom has to go next year for her renewal
of her driver's license in June, and she's having a
panic attack because she's like, what.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
If I don't pass my test?
Speaker 6 (17:24):
Look, get out of my wife. I have to do
mine next year.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
I have to read that sign say mister Kelly, the toast,
the letters CDB. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
I'm going to go in the week before, huh and take.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Photos of all the papers so I can say and
memorize him Jesus.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
Well, it's not only the vision test, it's if you're
written to the written test.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (17:47):
And you know my mom she was like, I don't
I just know how to drive. I don't remember the rules.
I was like, well, you know, it's something that you
have to do. And she's just scared that if she
doesn't pass, they're gonna, you know, revoke.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Her her driver's license.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
We'll just make it and then you know, I'll be
driving miss Daisy.
Speaker 6 (18:06):
You know it's a blessing. Yes, and it's a blessing.
I'll just say that, I tell.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
You most definitely.
Speaker 5 (18:11):
But but if you have some time to look up
the foundation and if you'd like to volunteer donate, please
go to.
Speaker 3 (18:18):

I'm always willing to accept your messages referrals. You can

Speaker 6 (18:34):
Thank you so much, Nautica de la Cruise. You're welcome.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
kf I a M six forty. Mark talks about Poptificate,
a pop culture ron and Report with Mark.
Speaker 7 (18:56):
Ronner KFI Mo Kelly, Mark Ronner Now with the Rotter
Report tonight, we're talking about Speak No Evil, and to me,
that involves as much willing suspension of disbelief as a
(19:16):
superhero movie or a Kaiju monster movie, because I don't
trust anyone, and I haven't felt comfortable traveling in a while.
And I'm also just too blunt and rude to get
sucked into the kind of situation you see in the movie.
But I am a fairly bad judge of people, so
that was my way in. Here's the deal. An American
couple and their young daughter are traveling in Europe and
they meet a fun, friendly British couple with a kid
(19:38):
of their own. They bond over boozy dinners and mocking
the other bores and stiffs who are traveling. Here's a
bit of the trailer.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
This is my husband Ben Patrick Feld. This is my
wife Kira.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
This is Agnes. Has some trouble communicating. You can give
a bit insecure.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
That's Bestpa, Yeah, should try it, yill we I won't
call the fun police if you don't.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Okay, can me kill me.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Before I quit my practice? You're a lawyer, listen to
you have to come and visit. Yeah, that'd mean great?
Yeah yeah done? So quiet around here. I don't even
have any neighbors.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
You made it welcome, Welcome.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
You VIP guests, just to remind you.
Speaker 9 (20:25):
Of vegetaria, our gifts to you, we stoptors orders, very good,
settle and I promise you guys, it could be a
great week here.
Speaker 7 (20:42):
Well, spoiler, it's not a great weekend. If you hear
that music on a trip, turn the car around. This
British couple invites the Americans to come visit them for
a weekend sometimes and and this is where it becomes
a fantasy, because most Americans would say love to, can't wait,
and never do it. We do that with everything, lunch, weekend,
invitation to Moe's house, everything, Huh, let's move on. But
(21:05):
a weird cultural thing I learned when I lived in
Scotland is that when Brits and Europeans invite you to
do stuff, they actually mean it, and if you accept,
you sort of have to do it. You're expected to.
This led to some situations nobody can prove anything, and
when this American couple accepts the invite in the movie,
things slowly get uncomfortable, then they get weird, then they
(21:26):
get dangerous, then frightening. The British couples played by James McAvoy,
the only really recognizable star in the cast, and Aisling Franciosi.
The Americans are Scott McNary from Halt and Catch Fire
and Mackenzie Davis, who was also in that show as
well as Terminator Dark Fate. You remember her, the one
with the short hair, who the robot who protected the family.
Speaker 6 (21:45):
I sure do, because I love Halt and catch Fire.
Speaker 7 (21:47):
Okay, Okay, so I didn't recognize them immediately, which worked
better for me In the movie, because all bets are off.
It seems like this Yankee couple is uptight and has
some festering issues that come out gradually, as well as
a twelve year old daughter with an unhealthy attachment to
a stuffed animal toy, which you know right away is
going to be like the old Chekhov gun on the table.
(22:08):
Can't be good. The brit couple are free spirits. They
are bon vivants, eager for discussion and debate about personal
things that we don't tend to talk about, pushing boundaries.
What no swimsuits, No problem, and let me fill that
glass too while we're at it. Maybe this is what
the uptight Yanks need, maybe to help them loosen up.
Or are they going to suggest some dirty stuff a
(22:29):
game of twister. The little boy of the British couple
has an issue of his own. He's mute, more like
Chekhov's tongue on the table. Can't be good. Mute children
always a red flag. You want them to shut up,
but not to be fully mute. This is a slow
burn thriller Pardon Me, whose main attraction is macavoid chewing
up the scenery, acting like a mercurial, charismatic nutcase, and
(22:52):
it's cinema of discomfort as much as a thriller. It
relies a lot on the cultural norms of behavior, which
seem more insane the situation gets when you speak up
when somebody's out of line, especially if you're a guest
at their house, or if they tell your kid what
to do, or if you see them being too rough
with their kid, or how about this, if you ever
(23:14):
had an argument when you get home because you didn't
think your partner was backing you up in front of
the other people. Yes, I'm clenching up right now. Speak
no Evil reminded me of Paul Schrader's The Comfort of
Strangers way back in Prehistoric nineteen ninety with Christopher Walken
and Helen Mirren as the wild couple. That's a good
creep out movie, worth a watch, worth seeking out. This
(23:35):
is also what would you do a movie? How much
will you go along with to avoid an awkward confrontation
or being a rude guest. It's easy to imagine this
kind of stuff set in Japan, but honestly, it's not
like Americans aren't plenty easy to wind up. The Yankee
wife here, as you're heard in the trailer, doesn't eat meat,
but you'll eat fish, and she prefers it. Line caught
by the way, well, what if that ain't on the
menu at dinner with the people you're staying with. I've
(23:57):
had these kind of Indiana jones. You're in habarrassing me,
whispered conversations when we were served haggis during a much
later trip to Scotland. It didn't spiral into the over
the top violence you're going to get in the third
act here, but I can see where the filmmaker got
the idea. The director and co writer, well writer actually,
i'll explain that his name is James Watkins, and he
(24:18):
also did a pretty respectable remake of The Woman in
Black in twenty twelve with Daniel Radcliffe seriously, and Speak
No Evil is also a remake of a Danish thriller
from twenty twenty two same name. You can find that
streaming for free on free v I say he's the
co writer because the original writers of the Danish movie
also get credit. Bottom line here, Speak No Evil is
(24:38):
a change of pace. It's cringey, It's worth a watch.
I'm not sure you need to watch it in the theater, sorry, publicist.
It seems relatively tame and puritanical to me compared with
what you might see in a European movie, and it
also suffers from obviousness and stretches. On the other hand,
that obviousness also contributes to the tension because you know
what's coming.
Speaker 6 (24:58):
So that's kind of a wash.
Speaker 7 (25:00):
And even though it's not a walking in slow motion
away from an explosion type of movie, the last act
does seem like it might have been focus grouped in America,
possibly by Frank Luntz wearing that horrific to pay of
his I'm not joking. Oh that is a two pay.
It's like a two paid Deadpool would look at and
too phony. Can't go with that. Imagine being a weekend
(25:21):
guest at the Lunzes and trying not to stare at
her talk about that grotesque hair rug creature on his
head or as you get more liquored up, not just
grabbing it off his head, but if you did grab it,
you know, it'd be kind of wet.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
Mo.
Speaker 7 (25:33):
Why did you force me to go into this? What
kind of Sickoh? Are you You're going to suggest some
naked twister?
Speaker 4 (25:38):
Now?
Speaker 6 (25:38):
What's going on? Well? I was wondering.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
You know, when you say Frank Luntz, first you have
to ask Taula about his story when he tried to
book Frank Lunz for this show. I've known Frank for many,
many years. Yes, I had no idea, and I spotted
the rug. Please, I've seen the rug in its various
iterations over the years. Okay, change has gotten more, and
it's gotten better and it's gotten worse. But anyhow, I
(26:02):
got to ask Twala about that because I asked him
because I have his number, and Twalla had to call him.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
I'll let you tell Let him tell you that story.
Speaker 7 (26:10):
Oh I wish I had known that before. You tell
him for me. When it comes to the rugs, less
is more, Okay, don't go from thinning or gone to
beatles wig.
Speaker 6 (26:21):
Yeah, he went nineteen seventies almost long hair.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Hif you look and it's like, okay, we do what
it looked like last week, Frank.
Speaker 6 (26:29):
But you know, I digress. I thought, actually you would
have liked it. I thought this just from the previews.
I thought it was going to be something that you'd
be really into.
Speaker 7 (26:37):
Well, the bottom line is that it's good but mixed,
and I'm not sure it's the kind of movie that
demands you see it on a big screen. It's worth seeing,
for sure, but it's not my favorite thing like this
of all time. Because the end felt to me without
spoiling anything at all. It felt like kind of a
concession for American audiences who demand a certain kind of thing.
Speaker 6 (26:57):
Was it something that you completely saw coming.
Speaker 7 (27:00):
Lots of stuff you see coming, but that is part
of the build ups. So, like I said, it's a
little bit of a wash you. It really makes you uncomfortable,
I'll tell you that. So if you're looking for a
Friday the thirteenth weekend kind of thing, you could do
worse than this one.
Speaker 6 (27:14):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
That interests me because the whole type of tension at
the dinner table and being in someone else's house that
usually makes for a good cinematic experience.
Speaker 7 (27:24):
Yeah, and it's I mentioned it's a change of pace too.
I mean, we see a lot of blockbusters that are
just filled with shooting people and action and car chases.
It's good to see, you know, a different kind of
movie now and then it changes things up, and it's
really about making people uncomfortable and wondering what you'd do
in that situation. I don't know about you, but I
remember the ancient times when it was very popular to
(27:46):
go to a movie and then talk about it afterwards.
You remember talking about movies? I do I do, And
when we would go to the movies, we'd talk about
it afterwards. We talked about how bad Aquaman two was. Yeah,
well this is no Aquaman too, but it's definitely talker.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
It's like, what would you have done there?
Speaker 7 (28:02):
I can't believe that they did that or if she
did that to him or that kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
So it's I think it's pretty provocative. Well, when you
get some free time, not that you have any, but
when you get some free time, make sure you go
to Twala ask him about booking Frank Lunz, and then
I'll tell you my Frank lunch stories, and then also
ask him about the time we tried to book Amorosa
Manigo on the show.
Speaker 7 (28:23):
I'm doing it as soon as I get done with
the news on this break right now. Oh wait, good stories.
Good stories can't buy am six forty. It's later with
bo Kelly. We're Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 6 (28:37):
When moo Kelly on.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. It's now story time.
Last segment, Mark Ronner, in the middle of the Runner
report made reference to Republican polster Frank Lunz.
Speaker 7 (28:57):
Well specifically, yes, pecifically.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Yeah, okay, but the point is you called him out
by name. And I have a history with Frank Lunz.
I used to book him for a number of shows
over the course of years. He should know me because
I was calling him like every other month to book
him for a particular radio show, got all of his
(29:22):
important details. When I started doing the mo' kelly show
and we were doing more politics, I said, hey, you
know what, why don't we get Frank Lunz on the show.
And so I gave the information to Tuala to call
Frank Lunz and and I said, let him know this,
let him know that, let him know that you got
(29:43):
my number from him, let you know, let him know
that you got his number from me and everything. And
it didn't really go too well. And I'm gonna get
Tawala come in here to tell the story himself in
just a second. But also the it was Amerosa or
she pronounced it a morosa, a Morosa manigal, and she
(30:06):
had just left the White House after uh she released
her book and left the White House working for Donald Trump. Okay,
here's tell the story about Frank Lunch and then we'll
do amrosa real quick.
Speaker 10 (30:20):
All I remember about Frank Lunz is reaching out and
getting quite possibly the most funky ass, yeah, funky ass
attitude ever definitely goes on my poop list, absolutely goes
to my poop list of people I would never ever,
ever ever contact again. I can't even remember. And I was,
(30:42):
you know, to reach out to people, especially be able
to show do my best to be as polite, you know.
Mister laun says that no, wasn't having it at all
at all. Literally try to ask. I mean, you would
have thought I was asking him if I could come
over and beat his mother to death or something on
me the way the response, the response was absolutely funky
(31:04):
and filthy, and.
Speaker 6 (31:07):
I remember saying, we will never ask again.
Speaker 10 (31:10):
Ever, ever, ever again again because this is like we're
not We're not trying to do us a favor. We're
trying to speak to let you have your say yeah,
no not having it.
Speaker 6 (31:21):
And that's what people forget.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
People are like, why don't you talk to so and so,
Why don't you have so and so on?
Speaker 6 (31:26):
The person has to say yes.
Speaker 10 (31:28):
And when we reach out, we reach out, and you know,
we don't get to get into the whole conversation of
this is not a gotcha interview. We're not trying to
set you up. This is to literally let you have
your say.
Speaker 6 (31:40):
This is quite.
Speaker 10 (31:40):
Possibly the most fair and balanced conversation you will have.
Speaker 6 (31:43):
Didn't you get into all that?
Speaker 5 (31:46):
Then?
Speaker 2 (31:46):
As I was getting ready to tell the story and
I want Tawala to tell it. Years later, we were
gonna have on Alma Rosa Manigo on the show. I
believe she had just left the White House, yep, wrote
her book or whatever she was doing media. And I
have her cell phone number as well because I had
booked her for other shows.
Speaker 7 (32:05):
I got a pretty good rolodex. Okay, yes, I'm bragging.
Also the word rolodex I.
Speaker 6 (32:10):
Know in my contacts. How about that? Uh?
Speaker 2 (32:15):
And I said, Twala, here's her number, see if you
can get her on.
Speaker 6 (32:19):
What happened?
Speaker 10 (32:20):
Twala went into and we were trying to make this
happen like immediately because there was like a storm of
media frenzy all around.
Speaker 6 (32:28):
She just left the White House, did that?
Speaker 10 (32:29):
And I was like, I got her number, let's get
her on right now so she can express why she left,
talk about the book.
Speaker 6 (32:34):
Bye bye by by by by bye bye bye.
Speaker 10 (32:36):
I call and the phone rings and she answers, A'mrosa,
and I said, uh, I believe it was still Madical
at the time she was married, So I said, miss Madical,
how you doing.
Speaker 6 (32:48):
My name is Twyla Sharp. I'm the producer of the
Mo Kelly Show.
Speaker 10 (32:51):
We are calling to invite you to come on to
discuss your exiting in the White House and discuss the
release of your book.
Speaker 9 (32:57):
Who is this?
Speaker 6 (32:58):
How'd you get to the click? Let him get all
that out?
Speaker 5 (33:03):
All that?
Speaker 9 (33:04):
Who's this? How'd you get this?
Speaker 6 (33:05):
A click? Not how did you get this number? How
did you get this? Click? Click?
Speaker 2 (33:12):
And I'm quite sure Twala would have answered the question
if he was given the opportunity.
Speaker 10 (33:16):
If given the opportunity, I would have actually explained to
her who I was, what station was calling from. If
you would have just heard the name KFI, she would
have been able to say, oh my bad, Yes.
Speaker 6 (33:25):
I want to come. I'll talk to more. I know Mo.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
She didn't even let me get that out. Yeah, so
forget her. And we have met multiple times. It's not
like I had to steal the number from somebody, you know.
I came by it legitimately. Oh that's hilarious. I don't
think most celebrities understand that when they're rude or when
they lose they're cool, you're going to report on that,
and that's going to make even more people read it.
(33:48):
It's kind of like related to the streisand effect, where
if you don't want something talked about, it gets talked
about ten times more. Like Sally I think I mentioned
this to you before. Sally Field got mad at me
in an interview long time ago for a terrible movie
she was in.
Speaker 7 (34:03):
I asked her a flying nun question. I asked her
about method acting, and she blew up at me. Well,
when I got back and turned in my article, the
editor working gave it the headline Gidget Goes Ballistic, which
was ten times more entertaining than any normal interview we
were going to have.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
You know, and I know people are there are some
who work in this business who are going to use
gotcha questions. They are going to push you in a
corner and maybe ask inappropriate questions.
Speaker 6 (34:35):
But I can't speak for you, Mark Ronnerd. That is
something I have never done.
Speaker 7 (34:38):
Well, Yeah, if you want to make the ground rules
clear going in, like if it's going to be adversarial,
you can't pearl Harbor somebody, you should let them know. Hey,
you know this isn't a puff piece. I'm going to
ask you some difficult things or you know, you just
have to be fair. And I should point out, by
the way that my roasting of Frank Lunz has nothing
to do with politics. It's all to do with that
(35:00):
thing on his head. If you wear that in public,
it's fair game for people to call out and talk about.
Speaker 6 (35:06):
Asking for it.
Speaker 7 (35:07):
Well, I'm not wearing one of those. But here's another
funny one. Winston Groom, the author of Forrest Gump. Do
you remember Forrest Gump?
Speaker 6 (35:16):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (35:16):
So years ago I was covering the Heartland Film Festival
in Indianapolis, and I didn't I hadn't gotten anything the
whole night, and I see Groom had given a speech
and it was the end of the thing, and I
was standing outside and I see Winston Groom coming out
and I say, mister Groom, I can I just have
a minute of your time talk to you? And he's like,
come and get in the limo with me, and he
(35:37):
takes me to the hotel bar where he's staying to
buy me a drink and do the interview. At the
hotel bar. The bar is really crowded when we get there.
On the way in the in the limousine. Though he's
told me, you know the story of Forrest Gump, it's
just about a simple, decent man trying to live with dignity.
We get to the bar, The bar is crowded, and
this distinguished Southern gentleman looks around and shouts at the
(36:00):
top of his lungs. Who do I have to have
to get a drink in this place? You know?
Speaker 2 (36:07):
One thing I do like about this business is you
get the behind the scenes feeling of who a person is.
A give example, one of the most accessible people, and
you would be surprised given his how people think of
him in the news. Alan Dershowitz, he will he will
answer his email. He will always respond I read. I'd
(36:30):
actually booked him a few times, and he had come
on our show right before the impeachment in which he
was defending Donald Trump.
Speaker 7 (36:40):
I spoke to him before that, years before that, and
he was a little snippy with me. No, he's snippy,
but he'll respond yeah. I mean he's very hierarchical. Hierarchical
in his responses to people, like if you're on the
a list. Yeah, he'll be a lot nicer to you
than if you're like with some Gennett paper someplace, which
I was at the time.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
Look, all I can say was, you know, he emailed
me and he was short. It's like, okay, so when
you want to do it, how much time?
Speaker 6 (37:04):
All right? And then he call me all the blues
like can we do it now? It's like okay, all right,
sure coming up next Tolan's wow.
Speaker 5 (37:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (37:13):
Yeah, it's funny.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
People have no idea what goes on behind the scenes
with a lot of these guests, especially political ones.
Speaker 6 (37:19):
There's so much going on.
Speaker 7 (37:20):
I think those of us who have been in this
business for a little while, we tend to sort of
collect our rude celebrity stories and share them usually you know,
around the table having a drink afterwards, or right now
when millions of people are listening.
Speaker 6 (37:35):
That's right, because we're always going to get the last word.
With this microphone.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
It's later with Moe Kelly KF I am six forty.
We are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 6 (37:44):
If there's news, it's things shift.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
If they stay the same, things change.
Speaker 6 (37:48):
For better or worse. Regardless of what's happening, you're going
to hear and here. It's what we do. K F
