Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
I love me. Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
I completely lost my train of thought just thinking about
my time on using Napster. But I love thinking back
to that time where we used to Can I say
that I was stealing music? Can I say that now
as a statue of limitation?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
That inspired? Okay, because I was thinking about it.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
That's why I paused, like, I don't know if I
should say that or not, but yes, I was illegally
downloading movies, songs, whatever. Because if you don't remember Napster,
I want to say this was maybe late nineties, early
two thousands. It was the wild wild West. People would
upload songs, different media to share. And this was before
(00:56):
people really had high speed internet just a normal course
of doing business. We had dial up back then, and
it took a long time to download songs and movies
like forget it. You know, you'd have to go to
bed and maybe wake up in the morning. This is
like three G type internet. It was really really slow.
(01:18):
But that's how people first started sharing music, movies, and
other files. It was illegal, you weren't supposed to do it,
but Napster figured out a way that people could upload
media and other folks could download that media and then
(01:38):
have it for themselves to use. It revolutionized not only
i'll say, what would become social media as we know it,
but also ended the music industry as it was known
back then. A number of corporations consolidated, including the ones
(01:58):
I was working at, and the music industry. If you
wonder why you don't have music stores anymore, like a
Sam Goodie or a music land or warehouse or any
of those places, it's because of Napster. I can draw
you a straight line because prior to them, Napstra was
the only way you could get individual songs. The music
(02:20):
industry would force you to buy. What would we would
do is any record label. We would release a song
from an artist, and we wouldn't release it as a single,
forcing you to go to a store and actually buy
the whole album, the whole CD, paying eighteen ninety nine
(02:41):
for maybe one song that you heard on the radio.
Every once in a while we would release what they
call singles and allow you to buy that individual song,
but for the most part, we wanted you to buy
the whole album. Napster comes along and makes it where
you don't have to do that anymore. In fact, you
don't even have to buy the album or the single.
(03:01):
You just have someone who has the single. They will
share it via the Napster And I can't even call
it an app because apps didn't exist then. It was
like a website of portal at that point, and then
you would be able to download it. Napster was sued
into oblivion, the original Napster, and you had some follow up,
uh Mark, do you remember Kazah vaguely? That was one
(03:23):
of the successors to Napster. And then you had a
company called Apple which came along with the MP three
player and iTunes where you could then legally purchase the
individual songs.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
And it was over for the music industry. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Now just try and move and stuff around between all
your devices with Apple stuff.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
I've lost at least four hundred songs, huh, easily because
they get on one computer you're just stuck. And unfortunately
I had it on a work computer. Then I stopped
working there. The music library was gone.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
As much as I love Apple products and find them beautiful,
they're so controlling with their media that it's incredibly frustrating.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Napster I thought was dead and gone, but it has
now been sold for two hundred and seven million dollars
to the tech firm Infinite Reality. Infinite Reality, I guess
they want to rebuild Napster into quote unquote a social
music platform that prioritizes active fan engagement over passive listening
(04:32):
quotes quote. Infinite Reality formed in twenty nineteen with backing
from a number of sports and music celebrities, and bought
the platform from the blockchain and cryptocurrency company Algrand and
HiveMind Capital Partners two hundred and seven million.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
You would think, for I don't know, thirty million, just
an arbitrary number, you.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Would just go ahead and be able to build your
social media platform itself. In my mind, I don't know
what Napster has to offer other than the intellectual property
and copyright of the Napster name. Did you run across
this on your MySpace page? You know exactly where I'm
going with this. It seems like eight steps backwards. That's
(05:16):
why I gave the history of the late nineteen nineties
and early two thousands, because there are people alive now
who have no memory of Napster, have no idea, what
it was, its purpose, its significance, none of that.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Maybe it's the coding that they bought.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
Maybe they bought the beyond the intellectual property, they bought
all of the back end coding instead of having to
build out that level of network or communication or the
ability to share music as Napture was created.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Maybe they purchased that.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
But if you know the history Napster, there's been a
number of companies along the way which tried to purchase
Napster and rebuild it into a legitimate company. Best Buy
I bought it, Streamer, wrap City had even bought it.
So this is not the five that's not the first
bite at the app. Oh wow, Yeah, and this is
(06:10):
what Napster CEO John Vlassopoulos, former head of music at Roeblocks,
who invested in the first iteration of Napster at BMG.
He will continue to lead the brand as it integrates
with the company's hopes for live streaming, e commerce, digital
community management, and mark AI initiatives.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
My favorite quote, the Internet.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Has evolved from desktop to mobile, from mobile to social,
and now we are entering the immersive era. Yet music
streaming has remained largely the same. I don't know how
you're going to reinvent this brand and also make it
new and relevant. I hope they have a great plan,
(06:54):
but two hundred and seven million dollars, what is it?
I just don't know tang what you're buying other than
the Napster name, because the coding itself can't be worth
two hundred and seven million, because they're trying to build
something which doesn't really exist yet from the way I
read it, So why are you paying two hundred to
(07:16):
seven million?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
You can call it anything? True?
Speaker 3 (07:19):
What does Napster have as far as people's data at
this point? And especially because now it's not even a
thing to keep stuff on your hard drive anymore. Unless
you really really really like the album or movie, you
just go to Spotify, you listen to the song, and
you pick what you want, and then you're done with it.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
You come back to as many times as you want.
That's what I do a lot OFFI we have.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
A brand new version of the iHeartRadio app that has
just rolled out. True that dwarf Spotify in any other
app that has ever come out with being able to
now streamline and focus in on your radio stations, put
them on an actual digital receiver now where you can
just go this station, that station, the other podcast, you
(08:01):
can live them up the exact same way. I don't
know why you come up with the nafter now in
the face of a juggernaut like iHeartMedia, that almost seems
like a waste of two hundred something million dollars.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Here's the fundamental question. What is it that any company
call it whatever you want? What is it that would
be company? What is available for that company to offer
which does not already exist? What is not in existence?
We can listen to any music we want, whenever we want.
I can go to YouTube, for example, and find any
songs that I want. I can that's what idify. I
(08:34):
can find whatever I want. I can go to iHeartRadio
if I want to listen to an actual live music
station or a curated station of music.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
That I happen to like.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
What is it that the new Napster is going to
be able to offer which doesn't already exist given the
two hundred and seven million dollar price?
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Also, what is this immersive crap? What if I just
want to listen to a song. I don't want to
be immersed.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
They're trying to combine streaming, social media and also I
guess the meta quote unquote universe one stop shopping.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Okay, I mean I was just gonna say that.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
You know, I don't know how much it's gonna be worth,
but the whole revolution of Napster, what it became, just
reminded me of this scene the minute you said that.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Sorry, go ahead, go ahead, get up, because.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
They don't want you.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
They want your idea and they want you to say
thank you while you excuse me, wipe your chin and
walk away. That's what happened to you and delusional. Yes,
but they'll be paidback at case.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I brought down the record companies with Napster, in case
with Sucker for their sense too.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Sorry you didn't you didn't bring down the record companies.
They won in court. Yeah, do you want to buy
a tower Records?
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Edward up. Most people don't even get that reference, and
some if you just happen to like movies, they only
know it from the Italian job. That will be as
an oblique reference. You know, I'm the one who actually
created Napster, Seth Green's character. Yeah, yeah, we'll follow the story,
(10:13):
but they're welcome to prove me wrong. There had to
have been a better way than spending two hundred and seven.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
I mean, maybe this new one has deals with the
performance rights organizations and they can now legally stream their
music because you're bringing back in a legal platform.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
No, no, no, they've they've already had that when they
first tried to bring back Napster.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
They had settled those cases where they could legally do it,
but no one cared because there were other places like
Spotify or you know, or Title as it were before
they went out of business or whatever happened.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Ah stick with that Title went out of business. This
is not a good idea. No, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
That market has already been conquered. So unless you have
something different and new in the way that MySpace conquered
the market. Here comes Facebook and offers something more than
what MySpace had offered.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Oh look out, here comes Instagram or you had who
am I forgetting?
Speaker 3 (11:13):
The various other social media apps which have come since
then offer something more, something different. Now Facebook has hug
around because it's the only place social media platform where
you can have long form conversations, you can post pictures,
and it's a place where you can kind of do
a little bit of everything. And I think that's why
it's hung around for so long. But Facebook is eventually
(11:35):
going to die off as well, and whatever comes along
has to be able to offer something new or something
and that something else has already been offering. I don't
know what they're trying to do, but from the way
it's described, it's going the way of title or Rhapsody
or something like that.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Maybe you can find your answers on Alta Vista Licos Jeeves,
Ask Jeeves.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
It's a Layer with Mo Kelly k if I AM
six forty Live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. Unfortunate we
have to talk about Juju Watkins, what happened last night
and what might be her future.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
It's Later with mo Kelly. We're live everywhere in the
iHeartRadio app. And we have about, I don't know eight
TVs in this studio. Not exaggerating.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
It's weird. It's an overload as far as stimuli.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
If you have any type of photo sensitivity, you don't
want to be in this studio because the TVs are
just blinking and flashing at you. If you have any
type of epilepsy. This is not the place to be.
I'm not trying to be funny. The TVs can be
oppressive in that regard. I say that because some TVs
(12:49):
will be on sports, some TVs will be on local issues,
some TVs will be on cable news, so we can
find a little bit of everything going on as it happens.
As it were last night, we were watching the USC
Lady Trojans in the tournament n to a tournament. They
were playing Mississippi State. The game had just started when
(13:11):
our show started. I didn't make mention of it. I
can't remember what I was talking about, but it was
distracting to me because I saw Juju Watkins, arguably the
biggest star in women's college basketball, go down on a
fast break and she tumbled down to the court. There's
no sound in the studio, obviously because we're doing a
(13:33):
radio show, but you could tell she was writhing in pain.
You could tell it was at the Galen Center, so
that was a home game for the Lady Trojans. You
could tell fans were on their feet and in disbelief,
great concern. You knew she was injured, you didn't know
to what extent. USC Trojans. They were ranked, they were
(13:58):
number one seed, but they were the top two teams
as far as I was concerned in all of women's
college basketball. It was a scary moment, and obviously, if
you're a fan of basketball, if you're a fan of
Juju Watkins, you didn't want her to be seriously injured.
She was carried off the court by two people, and
the injury looked bad on TV, But it doesn't always
(14:20):
mean that it's a serious injury. Maybe she just tweaked
her knee. Later that night, the news came out that
she had a tear in her acl. Her season obviously
is over, but what has been less discussed, and I
think it's important to talk about it. Yes, it's unfortunate
that this is how her season ends. Yes, it casts
(14:42):
a pall over the remaining season for the Trojans, who
had a great shot at winning the championship and now
that has been thrown in doubt. Because when you have
arguably the best player in women's college basketball who will
no longer be able to help you to the that goal,
Let's be honest, it's not likely that USC will be
(15:05):
able to go deep into the tournament. I hope they do.
I really hope they do. But the reality is what
the reality is. But what hasn't been discussed is how
this could really change the trajectory of Juju Watkins' career,
not only her college career, but her impending professional career.
(15:28):
What she does have working for her is most likely
she'll probably play the next two years in college. She
won't have the pressure of turning pro or turning pro early.
But oftentimes with ACL injuries, if you don't know, there's
a long rehab process, and depending on the player, some
(15:48):
players do not come back as explosive as they were.
They don't come back the same player as they were
prior to the injury. Juju Watcks, depending on the rehab process,
may miss a lot of next season. It hasn't been discussed,
but I just know from watching professional sports and watching
(16:10):
other players rehab ACL injuries, it could be a year
before she is playing at the level she was right
now prior to the injury. And I'm more concerned about
her life and also what's next for her as opposed
to just this tournament. It's a horrible thing to see,
(16:33):
but if you know the dangers, when I say the dangers,
talking about career dangers of college athletics. This is why
a lot of players go pro early, because they can
suffer an injury which could end their professional career. This
is why a lot of players, and I don't know
(16:55):
that Juju Watkins had an insurance policy, but most top
tier players have insurance policies on themselves for moments just
like these, in the event that they should suffer a
career ending injury. I don't know if she had a policy,
but this is something which she would have to sit
down with her family and those people that she trusts
(17:17):
mooth to talk about the rehab process and what that's
going to do for her career. But I understand why
players may go pro early to make sure that they
don't find themselves in a situation where they do have
a career changing or a career defining, or even a
career ending injury on the college level and miss out
(17:39):
on the opportunity to make the money a professional sports.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Now we're talking about the WNBA.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
The WNBA did not have a lot of money when
compared to the NBA, but Juju Watkins was already high
up on the nil list.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
That's name, image and likeness. She was doing well.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
She had State Farm commercials, plurals, she was doing a
lot of endorsements, and this impacts that. I wish nothing
but good things for Juji Watkins, and I'm quite sure
the team is hurting, and they'll probably do the best
they can to rally around her and also rally as
a unit and play on into the tournament. They're in
(18:16):
the sweet sixteen. We'll see what happens going forward. But
this is a lot bigger than people have been letting on.
This is bigger than just the tournament. What happened last
night could be career defining and career changing. I hope
it is not, but if you know the history of
ACL injuries, it often is. It's later with Mo Kelly
(18:38):
KFIM six forty live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app when
we come back, I'm going to take you back to
when I was a kid, and for some reason, there
was this VHS tape and it was only on VHS.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Couldn't find it on Beta, which was making.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
The rounds, and people said it was either banned or
you couldn't find a copy of it anywhere, and it
was a cult phenomenon. Can't call it a classic it
was called Faces of Death, and now they're going to
update it and remake it. We'll tell you whether that's
a good or bad idea when we come back.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on Demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Let's go back to nineteen seventy eight. This is around
the time that VHS and beta, the VCR phenomenon was
really getting underway, and there were movies that were easy
to find in video stores and other movies or videos
(19:39):
which were quote unquote banned or not carried in many
video stores. If you're old enough to remember one of
those movies, and it was presented in a documentary style.
I remember back in the day, it wasn't clear whether
what we were seeing was actual footage of people who
(19:59):
were dead. Sometimes it looked like it, or it was
something that was more akin to a horror movie and staged.
But Faces of Death back in the early nineteen seventy
excuse me, nineteen seventy eight into the nineteen eighties, they
had sequels after That was a big thing for kids
(20:19):
my age, in the way that we would look for
Playboy magazines, in the way that we were trying to
figure out the squiggly line porno soft porn on on
TV or Select TV.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
If you're old enough to remember them.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Faces of Death was one of those movies that everyone
was looking for, few people could find a copy of,
and it was a phenomenon. I don't want to call
it a cult classic because there's really nothing classic about
the movie about for at least for what I remember,
it was really gory, really dark, very divisive, controversial. Now
(20:58):
there's going to be an upcoming res make which is
being billed as quote unquote extremely dark. As I said before,
the original Faces of Death was presented in a documentary style,
talking about death all around the world, different customs, freak accidents.
You would see all sorts of gore, and it was
(21:19):
always unclear whether what you watch them was real or fabricated.
It was probably a little bit of both. This one,
this remake seems to be a straight up movie which
is going to have all sorts of dark gore, something
Mark Ronald would probably love.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Probably very violent, very dark.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Yeah, how do you?
Speaker 4 (21:40):
I don't know how you remake that? Because certain things
in Faces of Death, as you pointed out, some were phony,
but things like animal cruelty would be an absolute non
starter right now, and other parts were so case hardened
to gore at this point that we never used to be.
And this I think started with putting CSI on network
TV and moving all the way to Reddit now, where
(22:01):
you can pretty much see anything that you want to.
I mean, even some of our news clips here you
can hear the audio of people getting shot. So I
think Faces of Death is kind of redundant in the
Year of Our Lord twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
It is redundant.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
And unless you're showing people actually getting killed, not that
I would want that. No, you're not actually covering new ground.
For example, Mark, you just kind of alluded to this,
to this in just covering the news. I remember a
number of times, unfortunately, when I was watching local news
where someone, after a car chase on two different occasions,
(22:36):
killed himself. One I think was on the one oh
five Freeway. He unfortunately ate a shotgun, and I remember
that as clear as day, and they showed it on television,
and they showed it on television, and it changed shortly
thereafter as far as what local stations will do as
far as news coverage, if there's a possibility of something
(22:57):
going bad or at least they make sure there's some
sort of delay.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
And there was one while I It was one I
saw here while I was working in KFI.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
I all remember he was in a white pickup truck
and it was a long police chase somewhere in southern California.
I'm quite sure I could look it up and find it.
And he stopped and he put a gun under his
chin and pulled the trigger. And I said, oh my god,
because you could see the bullet egged at the top.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
Called the truck had some nice dinner time viewing, you know,
the faces of Death thing that came along in seventy eight,
as you pointed out, But that's part of the whole
Mondo movie tradition that started way back in sixty two
with a movie called Mondo Khane, and it had, you know,
like wild stuff from around the world, like you remember,
like putting the little monkey and the table with the
hole in it, Yes, and the people laid its brains
(23:44):
and oh my god, what a horrifying ring to work. Sorry,
but I do remember that the monkey brains, Yeah, terrible
because that seemed real to me. And Mondo Khane launched
that whole I guess genre kind of shocking reality stuff
from around the world. And by the way, did you
know a really super famous piece of easy listening music
(24:08):
came out of that, this one right here?
Speaker 3 (24:14):
Really, that's where that came from. I didn't even remember that. Yeah,
so it sounds so odd now.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
Yeah, music for cannibalism, Oh my gosh, after all these years,
and you can find like Mondo Kane and Mondo box
sets all over Amazon or eBay. Faces of Death was
kind of a logical extension of that at the time,
like here you go, Yankees, you want some nasty stuff.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Here it is good and hard.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
And also with AI deep fakes, there's really no way
to discern what we're looking at more times than not
these days. And if you're going to put it in
a movie, to your point, marked, it's only so far
that you you can go legally. There's only so far
you can go socially in today's America, especially when you're
(25:07):
talking about cinema.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Now, if you're just going to put it up online,
no problem. But this is supposed to be a.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Legitimate movie which is going to be available to see
in theaters, so with actors or is it meant okay? Yeah,
I'm trying to there's someone from someone from Euphoria, which
is supposed to be in.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
It, and where we get to see the actors actually
killed or dismembered or shot.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
See, that's the thing.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Obviously, it's not going to be in a documentary style,
so it seems like it's just going to be a
straight up movie with fake carnage or something like that.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
I mean, there's always going to be an audience for
that stuff. And I'm a horror fan and I monitor
what other horror people are watching, and there's the whole spectrum.
There's people who like ghost stories, and there's people who
like extreme gore, and people will watch that.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Yeah, it's supposed to provide quote unquote stomach turning gore
for which the franchises know.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
But the gore I'm quite sure is just movie gore,
not actual gore. I mean, when you can watch an
autopsy on network television, what's left to see?
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Nothing new, at least with exception what led up to
the autopsy or you know, And it's not gonna be
a snuff film.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
You're not gonna see people.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
I don't see how anyway they would produce a movie
where you're gonna see people getting killed for example vs.
A V like the electric chair or something like that,
because I know that was in one of the Faces
of Death that was in the first one, and I'm
pretty sure that one was fake, but it got your
attention because I mean it showed something that people hadn't
really seen before, you know, like in an old John
Garfield black and white movie or something you didn't see
(26:49):
the tape over the eyes bulge from the explosion of
the eyeballs, and pre internet, there was no way you
could like validate what you were seeing. If they said,
you know, John Michaelson is going to die in the
electric chair here in nineteen seventy eight, is like, oh
my goodness.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Where now it's like, who the hell is John Michaelson?
Is this a real person?
Speaker 3 (27:08):
You can validate whether any of this is going to
be real, and we know that it can't be real
in the way that would really shock us because the
movie would never get made. The movie would never make
it to theaters, and it would be boycotted, and you know,
the protested from day one.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
I can't tell if this is going to be a
boys' night movie for us or if it's something that
I'm going to have to watch on my own and
then dump on and run a report.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Well, it's gonna be a movie. They're actually writing a screenplay,
So there you go. You know, it's a movie, not
a look at death and the complexities of it and
the gore usually associated with it.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
I'll say this, there are certain movies that anybody who
goes to see it should be on a federal registry,
and this could be one of them.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
It's later with Mo Kelly KF I am six forty.
We are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, and I
gotta let you know it is time for world champion
Dodger Baseball.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
It's almost here.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
This Thursday, just two days away, the Dodgers will be
taking on the Detroit Tigers for Opening Day at Dodger Stadium,
first pitch at four to ten.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
You can listen to every game on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
And this is something which is a treat, if only
because baseball is the only sport where you can listen
to games via streaming, so it is something that you
should take advantage of. All you gotta do is go
to the iHeartRadio app. Keyword eight five seventy LA Sports
the new Hollywood Pantagious season is a home run. You know,
(28:38):
we love the Hollywood Pantagous Theater here. We talk about
it all the time. You can get a seven show
package at Broadway Inhollywood dot Com.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
It's Later with Moe Kelly and Twalla Sharp is a
conspiracy theorist. He's up the mindset that the zombie apocalypse
is almost upon us, and because of shows like the
Last of Us, he's convinced like the show depicts that
the fungus will be the gateway to not only zombies,
(29:15):
but the downfall of civilization is not correct. To Alla,
that is correct. See I'm not making anything Nope, and
I'm not trying to be funny. He is more serious
than can be.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
But there is this.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
There are new cases of a dangerous drug resistant fungus
which have been identified in at least two states hospital systems.
There is Candida Orus, also called c orus, which was
first identified in the US back in twenty sixteen. Since
then the number of cases have increased every year, jumping
substantially in twenty twenty three, which was the last year
(29:56):
of data available from the CDC. Recently, case have proliferated
in Georgia. A study published this week, which focused on
the Jackson Health System in Miami, Florida, also found cases
of the fungus have rapidly increased. The CDC has called
Candida ourus quote an urgent anti microbial resistant threat close
(30:21):
quote because it's resistant to anti fungal drugs, making it
hard to treat an infection once it occurs. If you
get infected with this pathogen that's resistant to any treatment,
there's no treatment we can give you to help combat it.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
You are on your own. YEP.
Speaker 5 (30:39):
At this point, I don't know what else there is
to say. I mean, this is jumped beyond conspiracy into reality.
As far as just there's dangers of certain fungi, what
we have not seen as far as just in humans,
just in humans, is is these zombie like effects of
(31:02):
the fungi.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Although we have seen it in.
Speaker 5 (31:05):
Deer, we have seen it in bees and when we've
seen it in other living organisms wherein this fungui spreads
with bees, It infects a bee and it causes a
bee to go back to the nest, and then it
ultimately destroys the entire ness as the bees cannibalized, and
in deers it creates this zombie like effect where deers
(31:28):
are just walking around aims. They're no longer scared, they're
just walking aimlessly. They're not really eating, they're just kind
of existing till they die. When this, not if this,
but when this jumps to humans and it is still
resistant to all forms of treatment, what is it that
you think is going to happen to us?
Speaker 3 (31:47):
When if fungus infects a patient, it can be hard
to identify. Symptoms are like those of any infection, including
fever and chills. And another reason that Candida rus is
so concerning, it's because of how well it has adapted
to surviving on surfaces like countertops, doorknobs, stairway rails. It's
(32:10):
just good at staying alive. And it's not just in
hospitals in Georgia and Florida. What I just told you about.
Candy to ris has been found in all but twelve states,
and I told you about the spike between twenty twenty
two and twenty twenty three. In California there have been
fifteen hundred and sixty six cases, which is the most
(32:33):
in the country with exception of the state of New York.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
For what it's worth.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Yeah, yes, In the past, the CDC estimated that, based
on information from a limited number of patients, thirty to
sixty percent of people with c Orris infections have died.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Is it how many? Was the percentage?
Speaker 4 (32:54):
Again?
Speaker 5 (32:55):
Thirty to sixty percent. Thirty to sixty percent has have
just died. That's where we're at right now. As this
planet continues to get hotter and hotter. We know it's
getting hotter here in SoCal as this planet is getting
hotter and hotter, and I know everyone wants to dispute.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
No, it's not getting hotter. It's cold as I don't
know what over here.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
For now, For now, Mark, I want you to ask
Tuala because I can't ask him with a straight face.
I need you to ask him what does he think
about a visa credit card? What are you trying to
set me up for? Here?
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Mom wants he just wants you to ask him the
question now.
Speaker 5 (33:36):
He just wants this whole conversation about visa and the
mark of the Beast. And it is very very clear
that visa, even though several individuals who are pro visa
have tried to come out and say visa. Visa is
not the market of the beast. Lots we try to
come out and dispute, Uh, it's connected. What do you
(33:58):
mean what are you talking about? Is that I have
a visa card in my wallet? Are you saying that
it's the devil?
Speaker 3 (34:04):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (34:04):
Yeah, the visa is absolutely connected to the market of
the vista. So every time I use my visa card,
I am worshiping the dark Lord.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
Is that what you're saying? That is exactly what I'm saying. Well,
you want to go further down the rabbit hole, Mark, Yeah,
I kind of do. Okay, further explain twalla, police.
Speaker 5 (34:22):
The visa, the v I being the Roman numberle for six,
of course, Uh, the S I believe it was the
Sumerian six, and I believe the A was another six
in another language.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
But this is this is not this is not new
news interesting.
Speaker 5 (34:43):
This is just stuff that's just lost news and news
that isn't widely covered because you know, hey, people want
to use their their beast cards.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Twalla, did we land on the moon. Of course we did.
What you're talking about. I just want to make sure,
I'm just the world is round ended.
Speaker 6 (35:00):
On the moon.
Speaker 5 (35:01):
I'm just look, I'm just trying to point out things
that are obvious, that are just there.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
This isn't something that's hidden. It's not hidden. So okay,
mark any more questions.
Speaker 4 (35:10):
Every time I make a visa translation transaction, do I
do I lose a little bit of my immortal soul?
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Twala? You do just a little bit.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Damn.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
I use my debit card just about everywhere. Look, we're
all damned.
Speaker 5 (35:22):
But just make sure that when this fungus takes over
your brain and you are just a wandering, mindless ghoul,
that you you remember these words that you say. Oh yeah,
Twalla was right.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Okay. What about diner's card? Okay?
Speaker 3 (35:38):
Oh, Diner's club? Diner's club? Yeah, okay, whatever does that
even exist? What diners with d I N E R
S Oh? Diners has six letters?
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Oh is? What about AMEX?
Speaker 5 (35:51):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Okay? See this, I'm just asking questions.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
No, no, what? What what happens is is that it
is master have to laugh that and torn down about
my PayPal caf use the MX black card. It means
you're headed to a black mass to worship Satan racists.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Okay. African American car foochs. Isn't a time, isn't a time?
So no, we got plenty of we got time the
news anytime. Let's keep talking about this.
Speaker 6 (36:20):
Are there any other cards? I'm looking at my wall
right now. What am I not allowed to use about?
You know, I'm sure that they're all there. There's all
types of on the back, colonialism on the dollar bill
without that.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
But that's all news on all the bills, that's all.
This isn't new information. This isn't new.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
We've been walking around control with his systems. So I
need to look out for visa. Uh fun guy, diners club?
No answer on that.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
There is no diners club. No, there is a diner's club.
There is no commercial connected. I could use dinners Club,
you know, go ahead. And you know what about master card?
You know you want to use your devil card? Go ahead?
Oh yeah, master card? Of course. Of course. It's later
with bo Kelly. We're live everywherey I Heeart Radio app ks.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
I and the k OST HD two Los Angeles, Orange
County Live everywhere on the Young Heart Radio app
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
I love me. Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
I completely lost my train of thought just thinking about
my time on using Napster. But I love thinking back
to that time where we used to Can I say
that I was stealing music? Can I say that now
as a statue of limitation?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
That inspired? Okay, because I was thinking about it.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
That's why I paused, like, I don't know if I
should say that or not, but yes, I was illegally
downloading movies, songs, whatever. Because if you don't remember Napster,
I want to say this was maybe late nineties, early
two thousands. It was the wild wild West. People would
upload songs, different media to share. And this was before
(00:56):
people really had high speed internet just a normal course
of doing business. We had dial up back then, and
it took a long time to download songs and movies
like forget it. You know, you'd have to go to
bed and maybe wake up in the morning. This is
like three G type internet. It was really really slow.
(01:18):
But that's how people first started sharing music, movies, and
other files. It was illegal, you weren't supposed to do it,
but Napster figured out a way that people could upload
media and other folks could download that media and then
(01:38):
have it for themselves to use. It revolutionized not only
i'll say, what would become social media as we know it,
but also ended the music industry as it was known
back then. A number of corporations consolidated, including the ones
(01:58):
I was working at, and the music industry. If you
wonder why you don't have music stores anymore, like a
Sam Goodie or a music land or warehouse or any
of those places, it's because of Napster. I can draw
you a straight line because prior to them, Napstra was
the only way you could get individual songs. The music
(02:20):
industry would force you to buy. What would we would
do is any record label. We would release a song
from an artist, and we wouldn't release it as a single,
forcing you to go to a store and actually buy
the whole album, the whole CD, paying eighteen ninety nine
(02:41):
for maybe one song that you heard on the radio.
Every once in a while we would release what they
call singles and allow you to buy that individual song,
but for the most part, we wanted you to buy
the whole album. Napster comes along and makes it where
you don't have to do that anymore. In fact, you
don't even have to buy the album or the single.
(03:01):
You just have someone who has the single. They will
share it via the Napster And I can't even call
it an app because apps didn't exist then. It was
like a website of portal at that point, and then
you would be able to download it. Napster was sued
into oblivion, the original Napster, and you had some follow up,
uh Mark, do you remember Kazah vaguely? That was one
(03:23):
of the successors to Napster. And then you had a
company called Apple which came along with the MP three
player and iTunes where you could then legally purchase the
individual songs.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
And it was over for the music industry. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Now just try and move and stuff around between all
your devices with Apple stuff.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
I've lost at least four hundred songs, huh, easily because
they get on one computer you're just stuck. And unfortunately
I had it on a work computer. Then I stopped
working there. The music library was gone.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
As much as I love Apple products and find them beautiful,
they're so controlling with their media that it's incredibly frustrating.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Napster I thought was dead and gone, but it has
now been sold for two hundred and seven million dollars
to the tech firm Infinite Reality. Infinite Reality, I guess
they want to rebuild Napster into quote unquote a social
music platform that prioritizes active fan engagement over passive listening
(04:32):
quotes quote. Infinite Reality formed in twenty nineteen with backing
from a number of sports and music celebrities, and bought
the platform from the blockchain and cryptocurrency company Algrand and
HiveMind Capital Partners two hundred and seven million.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
You would think, for I don't know, thirty million, just
an arbitrary number, you.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Would just go ahead and be able to build your
social media platform itself. In my mind, I don't know
what Napster has to offer other than the intellectual property
and copyright of the Napster name. Did you run across
this on your MySpace page? You know exactly where I'm
going with this. It seems like eight steps backwards. That's
(05:16):
why I gave the history of the late nineteen nineties
and early two thousands, because there are people alive now
who have no memory of Napster, have no idea, what
it was, its purpose, its significance, none of that.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Maybe it's the coding that they bought.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
Maybe they bought the beyond the intellectual property, they bought
all of the back end coding instead of having to
build out that level of network or communication or the
ability to share music as Napture was created.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Maybe they purchased that.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
But if you know the history Napster, there's been a
number of companies along the way which tried to purchase
Napster and rebuild it into a legitimate company. Best Buy
I bought it, Streamer, wrap City had even bought it.
So this is not the five that's not the first
bite at the app. Oh wow, Yeah, and this is
(06:10):
what Napster CEO John Vlassopoulos, former head of music at Roeblocks,
who invested in the first iteration of Napster at BMG.
He will continue to lead the brand as it integrates
with the company's hopes for live streaming, e commerce, digital
community management, and mark AI initiatives.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
My favorite quote, the Internet.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Has evolved from desktop to mobile, from mobile to social,
and now we are entering the immersive era. Yet music
streaming has remained largely the same. I don't know how
you're going to reinvent this brand and also make it
new and relevant. I hope they have a great plan,
(06:54):
but two hundred and seven million dollars, what is it?
I just don't know tang what you're buying other than
the Napster name, because the coding itself can't be worth
two hundred and seven million, because they're trying to build
something which doesn't really exist yet from the way I
read it, So why are you paying two hundred to
(07:16):
seven million?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
You can call it anything? True?
Speaker 3 (07:19):
What does Napster have as far as people's data at
this point? And especially because now it's not even a
thing to keep stuff on your hard drive anymore. Unless
you really really really like the album or movie, you
just go to Spotify, you listen to the song, and
you pick what you want, and then you're done with it.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
You come back to as many times as you want.
That's what I do a lot OFFI we have.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
A brand new version of the iHeartRadio app that has
just rolled out. True that dwarf Spotify in any other
app that has ever come out with being able to
now streamline and focus in on your radio stations, put
them on an actual digital receiver now where you can
just go this station, that station, the other podcast, you
(08:01):
can live them up the exact same way. I don't
know why you come up with the nafter now in
the face of a juggernaut like iHeartMedia, that almost seems
like a waste of two hundred something million dollars.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Here's the fundamental question. What is it that any company
call it whatever you want? What is it that would
be company? What is available for that company to offer
which does not already exist? What is not in existence?
We can listen to any music we want, whenever we want.
I can go to YouTube, for example, and find any
songs that I want. I can that's what idify. I
(08:34):
can find whatever I want. I can go to iHeartRadio
if I want to listen to an actual live music
station or a curated station of music.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
That I happen to like.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
What is it that the new Napster is going to
be able to offer which doesn't already exist given the
two hundred and seven million dollar price?
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Also, what is this immersive crap? What if I just
want to listen to a song. I don't want to
be immersed.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
They're trying to combine streaming, social media and also I
guess the meta quote unquote universe one stop shopping.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Okay, I mean I was just gonna say that.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
You know, I don't know how much it's gonna be worth,
but the whole revolution of Napster, what it became, just
reminded me of this scene the minute you said that.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Sorry, go ahead, go ahead, get up, because.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
They don't want you.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
They want your idea and they want you to say
thank you while you excuse me, wipe your chin and
walk away. That's what happened to you and delusional. Yes,
but they'll be paidback at case.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I brought down the record companies with Napster, in case
with Sucker for their sense too.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Sorry you didn't you didn't bring down the record companies.
They won in court. Yeah, do you want to buy
a tower Records?
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Edward up. Most people don't even get that reference, and
some if you just happen to like movies, they only
know it from the Italian job. That will be as
an oblique reference. You know, I'm the one who actually
created Napster, Seth Green's character. Yeah, yeah, we'll follow the story,
(10:13):
but they're welcome to prove me wrong. There had to
have been a better way than spending two hundred and seven.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
I mean, maybe this new one has deals with the
performance rights organizations and they can now legally stream their
music because you're bringing back in a legal platform.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
No, no, no, they've they've already had that when they
first tried to bring back Napster.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
They had settled those cases where they could legally do it,
but no one cared because there were other places like
Spotify or you know, or Title as it were before
they went out of business or whatever happened.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Ah stick with that Title went out of business. This
is not a good idea. No, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
That market has already been conquered. So unless you have
something different and new in the way that MySpace conquered
the market. Here comes Facebook and offers something more than
what MySpace had offered.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Oh look out, here comes Instagram or you had who
am I forgetting?
Speaker 3 (11:13):
The various other social media apps which have come since
then offer something more, something different. Now Facebook has hug
around because it's the only place social media platform where
you can have long form conversations, you can post pictures,
and it's a place where you can kind of do
a little bit of everything. And I think that's why
it's hung around for so long. But Facebook is eventually
(11:35):
going to die off as well, and whatever comes along
has to be able to offer something new or something
and that something else has already been offering. I don't
know what they're trying to do, but from the way
it's described, it's going the way of title or Rhapsody
or something like that.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Maybe you can find your answers on Alta Vista Licos Jeeves,
Ask Jeeves.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
It's a Layer with Mo Kelly k if I AM
six forty Live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. Unfortunate we
have to talk about Juju Watkins, what happened last night
and what might be her future.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
It's Later with mo Kelly. We're live everywhere in the
iHeartRadio app. And we have about, I don't know eight
TVs in this studio. Not exaggerating.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
It's weird. It's an overload as far as stimuli.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
If you have any type of photo sensitivity, you don't
want to be in this studio because the TVs are
just blinking and flashing at you. If you have any
type of epilepsy. This is not the place to be.
I'm not trying to be funny. The TVs can be
oppressive in that regard. I say that because some TVs
(12:49):
will be on sports, some TVs will be on local issues,
some TVs will be on cable news, so we can
find a little bit of everything going on as it happens.
As it were last night, we were watching the USC
Lady Trojans in the tournament n to a tournament. They
were playing Mississippi State. The game had just started when
(13:11):
our show started. I didn't make mention of it. I
can't remember what I was talking about, but it was
distracting to me because I saw Juju Watkins, arguably the
biggest star in women's college basketball, go down on a
fast break and she tumbled down to the court. There's
no sound in the studio, obviously because we're doing a
(13:33):
radio show, but you could tell she was writhing in pain.
You could tell it was at the Galen Center, so
that was a home game for the Lady Trojans. You
could tell fans were on their feet and in disbelief,
great concern. You knew she was injured, you didn't know
to what extent. USC Trojans. They were ranked, they were
(13:58):
number one seed, but they were the top two teams
as far as I was concerned in all of women's
college basketball. It was a scary moment, and obviously, if
you're a fan of basketball, if you're a fan of
Juju Watkins, you didn't want her to be seriously injured.
She was carried off the court by two people, and
the injury looked bad on TV, But it doesn't always
(14:20):
mean that it's a serious injury. Maybe she just tweaked
her knee. Later that night, the news came out that
she had a tear in her acl. Her season obviously
is over, but what has been less discussed, and I
think it's important to talk about it. Yes, it's unfortunate
that this is how her season ends. Yes, it casts
(14:42):
a pall over the remaining season for the Trojans, who
had a great shot at winning the championship and now
that has been thrown in doubt. Because when you have
arguably the best player in women's college basketball who will
no longer be able to help you to the that goal,
Let's be honest, it's not likely that USC will be
(15:05):
able to go deep into the tournament. I hope they do.
I really hope they do. But the reality is what
the reality is. But what hasn't been discussed is how
this could really change the trajectory of Juju Watkins' career,
not only her college career, but her impending professional career.
(15:28):
What she does have working for her is most likely
she'll probably play the next two years in college. She
won't have the pressure of turning pro or turning pro early.
But oftentimes with ACL injuries, if you don't know, there's
a long rehab process, and depending on the player, some
(15:48):
players do not come back as explosive as they were.
They don't come back the same player as they were
prior to the injury. Juju Watcks, depending on the rehab process,
may miss a lot of next season. It hasn't been discussed,
but I just know from watching professional sports and watching
(16:10):
other players rehab ACL injuries, it could be a year
before she is playing at the level she was right
now prior to the injury. And I'm more concerned about
her life and also what's next for her as opposed
to just this tournament. It's a horrible thing to see,
(16:33):
but if you know the dangers, when I say the dangers,
talking about career dangers of college athletics. This is why
a lot of players go pro early, because they can
suffer an injury which could end their professional career. This
is why a lot of players, and I don't know
(16:55):
that Juju Watkins had an insurance policy, but most top
tier players have insurance policies on themselves for moments just
like these, in the event that they should suffer a
career ending injury. I don't know if she had a policy,
but this is something which she would have to sit
down with her family and those people that she trusts
(17:17):
mooth to talk about the rehab process and what that's
going to do for her career. But I understand why
players may go pro early to make sure that they
don't find themselves in a situation where they do have
a career changing or a career defining, or even a
career ending injury on the college level and miss out
(17:39):
on the opportunity to make the money a professional sports.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Now we're talking about the WNBA.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
The WNBA did not have a lot of money when
compared to the NBA, but Juju Watkins was already high
up on the nil list.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
That's name, image and likeness. She was doing well.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
She had State Farm commercials, plurals, she was doing a
lot of endorsements, and this impacts that. I wish nothing
but good things for Juji Watkins, and I'm quite sure
the team is hurting, and they'll probably do the best
they can to rally around her and also rally as
a unit and play on into the tournament. They're in
(18:16):
the sweet sixteen. We'll see what happens going forward. But
this is a lot bigger than people have been letting on.
This is bigger than just the tournament. What happened last
night could be career defining and career changing. I hope
it is not, but if you know the history of
ACL injuries, it often is. It's later with Mo Kelly
(18:38):
KFIM six forty live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app when
we come back, I'm going to take you back to
when I was a kid, and for some reason, there
was this VHS tape and it was only on VHS.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Couldn't find it on Beta, which was making.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
The rounds, and people said it was either banned or
you couldn't find a copy of it anywhere, and it
was a cult phenomenon. Can't call it a classic it
was called Faces of Death, and now they're going to
update it and remake it. We'll tell you whether that's
a good or bad idea when we come back.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on Demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Let's go back to nineteen seventy eight. This is around
the time that VHS and beta, the VCR phenomenon was
really getting underway, and there were movies that were easy
to find in video stores and other movies or videos
(19:39):
which were quote unquote banned or not carried in many
video stores. If you're old enough to remember one of
those movies, and it was presented in a documentary style.
I remember back in the day, it wasn't clear whether
what we were seeing was actual footage of people who
(19:59):
were dead. Sometimes it looked like it, or it was
something that was more akin to a horror movie and staged.
But Faces of Death back in the early nineteen seventy
excuse me, nineteen seventy eight into the nineteen eighties, they
had sequels after That was a big thing for kids
(20:19):
my age, in the way that we would look for
Playboy magazines, in the way that we were trying to
figure out the squiggly line porno soft porn on on
TV or Select TV.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
If you're old enough to remember them.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Faces of Death was one of those movies that everyone
was looking for, few people could find a copy of,
and it was a phenomenon. I don't want to call
it a cult classic because there's really nothing classic about
the movie about for at least for what I remember,
it was really gory, really dark, very divisive, controversial. Now
(20:58):
there's going to be an upcoming res make which is
being billed as quote unquote extremely dark. As I said before,
the original Faces of Death was presented in a documentary style,
talking about death all around the world, different customs, freak accidents.
You would see all sorts of gore, and it was
(21:19):
always unclear whether what you watch them was real or fabricated.
It was probably a little bit of both. This one,
this remake seems to be a straight up movie which
is going to have all sorts of dark gore, something
Mark Ronald would probably love.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Probably very violent, very dark.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Yeah, how do you?
Speaker 4 (21:40):
I don't know how you remake that? Because certain things
in Faces of Death, as you pointed out, some were phony,
but things like animal cruelty would be an absolute non
starter right now, and other parts were so case hardened
to gore at this point that we never used to be.
And this I think started with putting CSI on network
TV and moving all the way to Reddit now, where
(22:01):
you can pretty much see anything that you want to.
I mean, even some of our news clips here you
can hear the audio of people getting shot. So I
think Faces of Death is kind of redundant in the
Year of Our Lord twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
It is redundant.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
And unless you're showing people actually getting killed, not that
I would want that. No, you're not actually covering new ground.
For example, Mark, you just kind of alluded to this,
to this in just covering the news. I remember a
number of times, unfortunately, when I was watching local news
where someone, after a car chase on two different occasions,
(22:36):
killed himself. One I think was on the one oh
five Freeway. He unfortunately ate a shotgun, and I remember
that as clear as day, and they showed it on television,
and they showed it on television, and it changed shortly
thereafter as far as what local stations will do as
far as news coverage, if there's a possibility of something
(22:57):
going bad or at least they make sure there's some
sort of delay.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
And there was one while I It was one I
saw here while I was working in KFI.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
I all remember he was in a white pickup truck
and it was a long police chase somewhere in southern California.
I'm quite sure I could look it up and find it.
And he stopped and he put a gun under his
chin and pulled the trigger. And I said, oh my god,
because you could see the bullet egged at the top.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
Called the truck had some nice dinner time viewing, you know,
the faces of Death thing that came along in seventy eight,
as you pointed out, But that's part of the whole
Mondo movie tradition that started way back in sixty two
with a movie called Mondo Khane, and it had, you know,
like wild stuff from around the world, like you remember,
like putting the little monkey and the table with the
hole in it, Yes, and the people laid its brains
(23:44):
and oh my god, what a horrifying ring to work. Sorry,
but I do remember that the monkey brains, Yeah, terrible
because that seemed real to me. And Mondo Khane launched
that whole I guess genre kind of shocking reality stuff
from around the world. And by the way, did you
know a really super famous piece of easy listening music
(24:08):
came out of that, this one right here?
Speaker 3 (24:14):
Really, that's where that came from. I didn't even remember that. Yeah,
so it sounds so odd now.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
Yeah, music for cannibalism, Oh my gosh, after all these years,
and you can find like Mondo Kane and Mondo box
sets all over Amazon or eBay. Faces of Death was
kind of a logical extension of that at the time,
like here you go, Yankees, you want some nasty stuff.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Here it is good and hard.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
And also with AI deep fakes, there's really no way
to discern what we're looking at more times than not
these days. And if you're going to put it in
a movie, to your point, marked, it's only so far
that you you can go legally. There's only so far
you can go socially in today's America, especially when you're
(25:07):
talking about cinema.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Now, if you're just going to put it up online,
no problem. But this is supposed to be a.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Legitimate movie which is going to be available to see
in theaters, so with actors or is it meant okay? Yeah,
I'm trying to there's someone from someone from Euphoria, which
is supposed to be in.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
It, and where we get to see the actors actually
killed or dismembered or shot.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
See, that's the thing.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Obviously, it's not going to be in a documentary style,
so it seems like it's just going to be a
straight up movie with fake carnage or something like that.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
I mean, there's always going to be an audience for
that stuff. And I'm a horror fan and I monitor
what other horror people are watching, and there's the whole spectrum.
There's people who like ghost stories, and there's people who
like extreme gore, and people will watch that.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Yeah, it's supposed to provide quote unquote stomach turning gore
for which the franchises know.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
But the gore I'm quite sure is just movie gore,
not actual gore. I mean, when you can watch an
autopsy on network television, what's left to see?
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Nothing new, at least with exception what led up to
the autopsy or you know, And it's not gonna be
a snuff film.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
You're not gonna see people.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
I don't see how anyway they would produce a movie
where you're gonna see people getting killed for example vs.
A V like the electric chair or something like that,
because I know that was in one of the Faces
of Death that was in the first one, and I'm
pretty sure that one was fake, but it got your
attention because I mean it showed something that people hadn't
really seen before, you know, like in an old John
Garfield black and white movie or something you didn't see
(26:49):
the tape over the eyes bulge from the explosion of
the eyeballs, and pre internet, there was no way you
could like validate what you were seeing. If they said,
you know, John Michaelson is going to die in the
electric chair here in nineteen seventy eight, is like, oh
my goodness.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Where now it's like, who the hell is John Michaelson?
Is this a real person?
Speaker 3 (27:08):
You can validate whether any of this is going to
be real, and we know that it can't be real
in the way that would really shock us because the
movie would never get made. The movie would never make
it to theaters, and it would be boycotted, and you know,
the protested from day one.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
I can't tell if this is going to be a
boys' night movie for us or if it's something that
I'm going to have to watch on my own and
then dump on and run a report.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Well, it's gonna be a movie. They're actually writing a screenplay,
So there you go. You know, it's a movie, not
a look at death and the complexities of it and
the gore usually associated with it.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
I'll say this, there are certain movies that anybody who
goes to see it should be on a federal registry,
and this could be one of them.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
It's later with Mo Kelly KF I am six forty.
We are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, and I
gotta let you know it is time for world champion
Dodger Baseball.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
It's almost here.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
This Thursday, just two days away, the Dodgers will be
taking on the Detroit Tigers for Opening Day at Dodger Stadium,
first pitch at four to ten.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
You can listen to every game on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
And this is something which is a treat, if only
because baseball is the only sport where you can listen
to games via streaming, so it is something that you
should take advantage of. All you gotta do is go
to the iHeartRadio app. Keyword eight five seventy LA Sports
the new Hollywood Pantagious season is a home run. You know,
(28:38):
we love the Hollywood Pantagous Theater here. We talk about
it all the time. You can get a seven show
package at Broadway Inhollywood dot Com.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
It's Later with Moe Kelly and Twalla Sharp is a
conspiracy theorist. He's up the mindset that the zombie apocalypse
is almost upon us, and because of shows like the
Last of Us, he's convinced like the show depicts that
the fungus will be the gateway to not only zombies,
(29:15):
but the downfall of civilization is not correct. To Alla,
that is correct. See I'm not making anything Nope, and
I'm not trying to be funny. He is more serious
than can be.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
But there is this.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
There are new cases of a dangerous drug resistant fungus
which have been identified in at least two states hospital systems.
There is Candida Orus, also called c orus, which was
first identified in the US back in twenty sixteen. Since
then the number of cases have increased every year, jumping
substantially in twenty twenty three, which was the last year
(29:56):
of data available from the CDC. Recently, case have proliferated
in Georgia. A study published this week, which focused on
the Jackson Health System in Miami, Florida, also found cases
of the fungus have rapidly increased. The CDC has called
Candida ourus quote an urgent anti microbial resistant threat close
(30:21):
quote because it's resistant to anti fungal drugs, making it
hard to treat an infection once it occurs. If you
get infected with this pathogen that's resistant to any treatment,
there's no treatment we can give you to help combat it.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
You are on your own. YEP.
Speaker 5 (30:39):
At this point, I don't know what else there is
to say. I mean, this is jumped beyond conspiracy into reality.
As far as just there's dangers of certain fungi, what
we have not seen as far as just in humans,
just in humans, is is these zombie like effects of
(31:02):
the fungi.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Although we have seen it in.
Speaker 5 (31:05):
Deer, we have seen it in bees and when we've
seen it in other living organisms wherein this fungui spreads
with bees, It infects a bee and it causes a
bee to go back to the nest, and then it
ultimately destroys the entire ness as the bees cannibalized, and
in deers it creates this zombie like effect where deers
(31:28):
are just walking around aims. They're no longer scared, they're
just walking aimlessly. They're not really eating, they're just kind
of existing till they die. When this, not if this,
but when this jumps to humans and it is still
resistant to all forms of treatment, what is it that
you think is going to happen to us?
Speaker 3 (31:47):
When if fungus infects a patient, it can be hard
to identify. Symptoms are like those of any infection, including
fever and chills. And another reason that Candida rus is
so concerning, it's because of how well it has adapted
to surviving on surfaces like countertops, doorknobs, stairway rails. It's
(32:10):
just good at staying alive. And it's not just in
hospitals in Georgia and Florida. What I just told you about.
Candy to ris has been found in all but twelve states,
and I told you about the spike between twenty twenty
two and twenty twenty three. In California there have been
fifteen hundred and sixty six cases, which is the most
(32:33):
in the country with exception of the state of New York.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
For what it's worth.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Yeah, yes, In the past, the CDC estimated that, based
on information from a limited number of patients, thirty to
sixty percent of people with c Orris infections have died.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Is it how many? Was the percentage?
Speaker 4 (32:54):
Again?
Speaker 5 (32:55):
Thirty to sixty percent. Thirty to sixty percent has have
just died. That's where we're at right now. As this
planet continues to get hotter and hotter. We know it's
getting hotter here in SoCal as this planet is getting
hotter and hotter, and I know everyone wants to dispute.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
No, it's not getting hotter. It's cold as I don't
know what over here.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
For now, For now, Mark, I want you to ask
Tuala because I can't ask him with a straight face.
I need you to ask him what does he think
about a visa credit card? What are you trying to
set me up for? Here?
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Mom wants he just wants you to ask him the
question now.
Speaker 5 (33:36):
He just wants this whole conversation about visa and the
mark of the Beast. And it is very very clear
that visa, even though several individuals who are pro visa
have tried to come out and say visa. Visa is
not the market of the beast. Lots we try to
come out and dispute, Uh, it's connected. What do you
(33:58):
mean what are you talking about? Is that I have
a visa card in my wallet? Are you saying that
it's the devil?
Speaker 3 (34:04):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (34:04):
Yeah, the visa is absolutely connected to the market of
the vista. So every time I use my visa card,
I am worshiping the dark Lord.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
Is that what you're saying? That is exactly what I'm saying. Well,
you want to go further down the rabbit hole, Mark, Yeah,
I kind of do. Okay, further explain twalla, police.
Speaker 5 (34:22):
The visa, the v I being the Roman numberle for six,
of course, Uh, the S I believe it was the
Sumerian six, and I believe the A was another six
in another language.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
But this is this is not this is not new
news interesting.
Speaker 5 (34:43):
This is just stuff that's just lost news and news
that isn't widely covered because you know, hey, people want
to use their their beast cards.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Twalla, did we land on the moon. Of course we did.
What you're talking about. I just want to make sure,
I'm just the world is round ended.
Speaker 6 (35:00):
On the moon.
Speaker 5 (35:01):
I'm just look, I'm just trying to point out things
that are obvious, that are just there.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
This isn't something that's hidden. It's not hidden. So okay,
mark any more questions.
Speaker 4 (35:10):
Every time I make a visa translation transaction, do I
do I lose a little bit of my immortal soul?
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Twala? You do just a little bit.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Damn.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
I use my debit card just about everywhere. Look, we're
all damned.
Speaker 5 (35:22):
But just make sure that when this fungus takes over
your brain and you are just a wandering, mindless ghoul,
that you you remember these words that you say. Oh yeah,
Twalla was right.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Okay. What about diner's card? Okay?
