Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Kelly.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
We're live on YouTube, we're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app,
and we're live on Instagram.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
And this kind of.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Kind of relevant to what we're going to talk about
now as Marsha Collier joins us in studio on this
Tech Thursday, and we're gonna have this big reveal of
Marshall because I hear from people all the time now
who watch our YouTube channels like we got to see
Marsha and the beautiful red hair. So Marsha Callier, welcome.
Is great to see you and your hair.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Oh, thank you man, thank you. My hair does not
have its own Twitter account anymore, but it used to somehow.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
I believe that in the aughts.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Yeah, somebody put that up here. Oh yeah. So there's
lots of going on in tech this week, and I
think it's well, I think it's finally time we face
up to the fact of AI.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Do we have to Is it as inescapable as some
people would say.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
There's certain facets where we can't escape.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
It's on our phone, it's in obviously our computers. It's
a lot of these processes that we in the Internet
of Things.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
You've just mentioned everything I.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Know, so that answers the question. I guess, Yeah, there's
no fighting it. But is there a way that we
can better use it?
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Well, let me just yeah, And I'm going to help
with that because I've been playing with it. Because I
don't want to tell it too much. I'm very careful
with what I say. I stepped in easy. There's a
website called bake Space. They have an AI bot called
bake Bot, which will help you prepare meals based on
(01:50):
what you have in your refrigerator. They also will have
you that's intriguing if you need to substitute you know,
I'm not I don't, but I understand that you can
like substitute flour for something else, or eggs for oil
or something. And they have an AI computer. If you
(02:11):
have a you're in a jam and you're cooking something,
you want to ask it, you know, can I sell?
What can I substitute? So that's a bakespace dot com
and very easy.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Let me ask you this for someone who doesn't understand
the subtleties, what's the difference between asking AI and just
putting in a search engine what's the substitute for eggs
if you don't have eggs?
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Okay, here's the story. First, of all, search engines that
are specialized, for example, if you have a medical search engine,
you know, and you're sick, one that's generally trained can
tell you a little bit of everything, but not particularly
what you're looking for. So if you want to train
(02:56):
a cooking one and the bakes, I see the bake
about right there. Yeah, it's great with the recipe tools
and everything. But when you're typing in Mike on chat GPT,
which I find not to be as good as some
of the others, but it's a good place to start
because you're not afraid of it and talk to it
(03:20):
type like you're talking to somebody.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Conversational language.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Conversational language, make believe it's a person.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
That's okay, we'll wait. It happens to the best of us.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
But as you were saying, Marsha Krer, you want to
talk to it as if we're having a casual conversation
and not we're trying. We're not trying to make it
too sophisticated, too stilted. But what difference does that make?
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Yeah? Well, the thing is if you want need it
to make a decision.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Ah, okay, you ask it.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
I have to make a decision about fill in the blank.
What are the choices that I need and way the
choices I have as to which will give me the
better benefit. Okay, so that's that's important. If you're overwhelmed
with your day, you have too much stuff scheduled, say
(04:24):
I'm overwhelmed. I can't make it through my day. I
have to accomplish this, this, this, this, this, and then
hopefully it will give you exactly how it works. Now,
I find that chat GPT is a little more commercially
oriented and not in a good way. For example, when
(04:46):
I do my podcast, I try to come up with
a good title. Titles are really hard and put podcast.
You can make your show notes, but the title it's
often difficult. So I will go to chat GPT and
I'll say can you please, and I even say, please
give me a podcast episode title for these show notes,
(05:14):
and chat GPT always comes up with these hokey clickbaiting things.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Well, when you say these show notes, how are you
in putting that information in the chat CHPT?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
You're just typing it all in?
Speaker 4 (05:25):
Yeah, I mean you could be talking it if you're
using your phone. Okay, yeah, so you could do that,
but I found that it doesn't do a great job
for that for me. I honestly find as difficult as
X is to deal with that, GROC is a lot
(05:45):
better and a lot more personal and gives you better
answers if you're having a conversation and you don't understand
how that other person is going to react. Literally, you
type in I have to have a conversation with Moe.
We're talking about filling the blank Moe Kelly. I'll put
(06:08):
in your full name so that way it may pick
up information that's already in the AI about you, and
you know it might come back and say, well, I
don't you think you should do this because that just
might piss off Mo Kelly.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
But then how beholden do you think people are to
the suggestions as we get ready to go to break
to the suggestions the recommendations, because it's almost like, yeah,
they could put it out there, but there's there's no
level of responsibility for the accuracy exactly.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
And AI wants to answer no matter what, and it's
going to give you an answer, whether it's writ or
not is a different story. And you also have to
consider when I just told you I have to have
a discussion with mo Kelly. Now the AI knows that
I know Moe Kelly and that I have to have
(07:02):
a discussion with him. So you see, I've just fed
information into the AI. So it will help you. You're
having problems in a relationship, it will help you. Just
write like you're writing to a.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Friend, AI the love doctor.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Yeah it's there.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Well, I know that AI plays a role in online
therapy already.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely well, but college students are using it
as life coaches.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
That just confounds me.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Well, like helping them make decisions, you know. And you
can ask the AI to ask you questions and these
are universal things you can do over all the different
AIS and test them out like jem and I from
Google or whatever, and realize which one is going to
give you the best answers in the end.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
And chat cheap is just easy to practice with because
it's simple, simple to use. You don't have to go
anywhere fancy. You just go to chat, GPT, dot AI
and that's it.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I guess I'll try it out. I have been.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
I admit I'm always slow on the uptick. If only
because I'm not a quick adopter of technology. I want
other people to be the guinea pigs. I want them
to be the beta testers me too, and then I'll
jump into the pool me too.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
But I did it myself, and I've been trying little
by little. I don't mention any real names, but right
I'm working on it, and I've found it useful in
certain cases. But I think you always have to lean
back on the good brain your mother gave you.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
When we come back, I know Tilla Sharp is going
to be thrilled to know the flying Car is actually here.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
It's here, Come on, It's here. Come on music, Stefan.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
We need some sort of like Celebritory trumpets or something,
trumpet fanfare me come back.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
The Flying Car. When we come back, it's Later with
mo Kelly.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
I'm joined in studio by Marshall Callier KFI AM six forty, YouTube,
Instagram and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
KFI AM six forty is Later with mo Kelly on YouTube,
Instagram and the iHeartRadio app. Marsha Callier joins me in studios.
We continue this tech Thursday, Marsha. There's a rumor going
around that the Jetsons are finally here, the flying car
is finally here.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
I grew up with all sorts of.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Sci fi shows and television shows movies depicting this advanced
future world where a flying car would be commonplace.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
We haven't quite gotten there, but that might be changing.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
That's what they say. But before I go into the
details of it, let's do the Mow and Marsha version, Okay,
which is you're going to get into that thing?
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Oh hails, No, I won't even get into a way more.
You think I want to get into a hell of car?
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Hell, I mean no, And this needs a runway. They
can now they these will only go from airport to airport,
because I.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Don't care if it goes from house to house. I'm
not getting in one.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Well.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
The aircar, and it was developed in Slovakia, could ship
as early as twenty twenty six. Klein Vision is the
company they passed, spent the past three decades developing the car,
and it's completed over one hundred and seventy flight hours
and more than five hundred takeoffs and landing.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Some of they just.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Called a Sessna with you know, with wheels or something.
It looks like a typical you know, propeller plane, just
with a body of a car as opposed.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
To a cockpit.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Well this video that I'm sure we're not going to
see the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
No, but you got to go to Utia to check
it out.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
When the wings retract and co go in, it's kind
of it's kind of interesting. They become part of the body.
It's kind of like a transformer. Looks like mock five
from speed Racer, but that's something different. That's real.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Yeah, it just it just it looks like a car played.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Okay, now watch this at.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Mister mo Kelly on YouTube.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
You can see it how it retracts its wings and
it then just turns into a conventional.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Car for the most part. Yeah, that's actually, that's pretty cool. Oh,
it's very cool. It's very cool. And I'm not getting
into one. I'm not.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
I'm not, I'm not. Supposedly, the top speed is one
hundred and twenty four miles per hour on the road
and one hundred and fifty five miles per hour in
the air, with a maximum flight range of about one
thousand kilometers, which is six.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Okay, I guess it's going to go to Vegas or
something that that would seem I could be conducive to that.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Now you're ready to buy one from the mo Kelly Show, right.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Okay, So what's the price? Is it under five hundred thousand?
Do they list the price.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Between eight hundred thousand and a million?
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Between no? And hell? No, yeah, I'm not. I'm rather
no no ah, No.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
I might as well just go ahead and charter my
own private jet because they's much cheaper, much cheaper, and
I would be you know, I just.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Use it when I need to use it.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Because you think about flying car, how many places are
you going to fly.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
On a given day or a given week or a
given month.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
But here we're let's discuss right here the elephants in
the room that they don't even talk about all the
time when we talk about flying private airplanes. Is it
going to kill you if you're so rich to be
in first class on a plane? Or do you want
to burn all the carbon in the world so that
the rest of us can't water our lawns because we
(12:56):
have to preserve stuff.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Well, you know, I don't give a damn about the environment,
or you know, global warming. And I know that really
irritates Mark, but but it's true.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
I'm not listening, but it's true.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
I'm just saying I don't know about the utility of
a car that flies and can't get you more than
maybe too New Mexico or something.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
You know what I mean. Where are you going?
Speaker 4 (13:18):
You were talking earlier about that flying bus to go
to the Olympics. Yeah, yeah, holds four people.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Great.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
I really don't think that that's a valuable use. No,
I mean of carbon. Look, if you're a billionaire, knock
yourself out. You're the coolest guy. You can go to
your garage toys. Yeah, and you can fly to UFCS
six hundred. Then don't lecture the rest of us on
our use because we need air conditioning, I need heating. Yes, uh,
(13:54):
don't tell don't tell me that my my house has
to be seventy four degrees at all.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Times, preach preacher.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
No, it's true, you know, And I'd believe politicians a
little bit more if they stuck to the rules they
wanted to.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
You said, I would believe politicians more.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
You give them way more credit to be because I
don't believe politicians at all. So to say that I
would believe politicians more is to say that I believe
them on some level to begin with.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
That's true. But you see, in the olden days it
was different. We had a president that was in a
wheelchair if you are, and nobody knew.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
But you know the feasibility of that today with the
cameras and the twenty four hour news cycle, and I
would say the But.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
The point is he got his job done.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Yeah, And I don't think he would be able to
be elected today. There's that issue too. I just don't
think it'd be possible.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
That's actually going to be part of my final thoughts
tonight about I think we've gone so far. I know
this is a diversion, but I think we've gone so
far down the road where nothing matters except for the
things that don't matter.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Exactly exactly, and we have to start paying attention. You know.
We can laugh at people all we want, but I
got to tell you the food here in this country.
When I bring back the same brand food from England,
it has one quarter the ingredients than the American one.
It's unbelievable. And I just wanted to do the same
(15:24):
brand real quick. If maybe Mom or anybody out there,
got a new smartphone and Android phone. This is my book,
and I think you're gonna love it. I know it's
Android Smartphones for Seniors for Dummies, but the thing is,
I think that it will appeal to you because who
(15:45):
wants to read three hundred and eighty pages of everything
in the world about a phone? You just need to
know me. That's most spends said trying to find something new.
But it's nice and big, nice big type, not not
large type, but nice and big type. It's in full color,
(16:09):
and I think you're really gonna like it. So if
you want it, it's of course on Amazon everywhere else
and makes a great gift.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Android again, please.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Android Smartphones for Seniors for Dummies, and they can find
you and the book where Marciacollier dot com.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Marsha is always great to see you, and I know
that people in our YouTube chat absolutely love you and
it's understandably so thank you so much. We'll see you
next week hopefully, yes live. Why I say we missed
you last week, That's why I got asked you.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
No, I know this terrible flu anybody else who has it.
I hope you're gonna get better real soon.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
We'll see you soon.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
It's Later with mo Kelly KFI AM six forty live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and on YouTube and on Instagram.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
And when we come back, we have to talk about
Chris Brown. He's back in the news and back in trouble.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Of course, you're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on
demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
It's Later with mo Kelly, KFI YouTube, iHeartRadio app. And
oh and by the way, we've been getting a lot
of new listeners on Spotify.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Thank you very much. However you find the show, I
am all good with it.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
We had a just a bunch of users just pop
up on Spotify, and our plays and listeners on Spotify
have really jumped up in the past month or so.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
So thank you for joining the show as well.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
And if you've been listening to the show for any time,
you know that myself and Toalla Sharp we're from the
music industry. I was working on the label side, he
was working on the radio side, and we get to
see a lot of these artists, or at least artists
back in the day in a different way than most
people did. We got to see the things in a
pre social media sense which would make news now, but
(18:21):
it was kind of understood back then. The a lot
of things you see you don't speak about. You may know,
but you don't talk about. And when I saw this
story about Chris Brown being arrested in England on charges
related to a nightclub bottle attack back in twenty twenty three,
it reminded me of my time in the industry because
we would see artists do stuff that we knew was
(18:44):
criminal or it could be violent, and oftentimes it was
just covered up. But now with social media now, with
cameras everywhere, it makes it much more difficult for people
to get away with things. I would bet dollars to donuts.
Having nothing to do with the specifics of this particular
incident with Chris Brown. For as many times as he's
(19:05):
been in trouble for violent reasons, there are probably ten
other incidents to tie it all together, which have probably
happened that just did not make it to the press,
and the people around him were just good enough to
protect him from himself.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
Yeah, Unfortunately, Chris Brown consistently finds himself in trouble, be
it for things that he has done, but oftentimes artists
like Chris Brown who choose to associate themselves with folks
from the street. They want to keep it one hundred
and they want to stay in the hood as the
kids stay.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
But he's not from the hood. He's like me trying
to claim a gang.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
It's like, look, I know gang members, you know they
know me, but I'm not in any way associated. It's
not like I could claim, you know, Harbor City payback
crips or something, well you shouldn't.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
You shouldn't. You know, no disrespect to the art Arbor
City ay Back crips. But I know because basically clowning them.
It's like, who's harpacity payback crips? What they were thinking
back then?
Speaker 2 (20:09):
It's just you know, just listen, like getta paymack. I
just look to me.
Speaker 5 (20:14):
It's it's interesting because there there was a point in
time when the image and the notion of who could
be a gangster and gangster rap and it's it's interesting
to me because there are so many articles and award
categories and everything that has to do with rap, and
it always uh for services that has Chris Brown tied
(20:36):
to it. I'm like, Chris Brown is a singer, but
it's because of his affiliations is because of what he
does that he's always affiliated and associated with rap.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Well let's let's let's be clear because someone may not
know Chris Brown has publicly associated himself with the Bloods Gang.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
He has that that is no secret and that is
what he does. But because of that, when you go
to places where you are the star, you are the celebrity.
You are Chris Brown. You got to show this, that
and the other. When you've got your entourage with you
and you're entourage, they are not, you know, on stage
(21:15):
with you. They're rolling with you, they're heavy, they look deep,
you know, they're mean, mugging in the background making sure
no one wants to run up. What ends up happening
is you go into a club and you know in
the UK, and next thing you know, someone says something.
You know, maybe someone says something smart alecy and it
doesn't have to be Chris Brown that does anything. Someone
(21:38):
this rage does something. And that's what I see Oftentimes.
I see entourages who engage and act on the behest
of the person that they're rolling with to get their
five minutes, to get their shine, and then next thing
you know, it's Chris Brown. Arrested when Chris Brown may
be like, I did not even have a drink, I
didn't have anything in my hands. I didn't do anything
(21:58):
that night.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
I was just there. But because of affiliation, this is
what happens.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Part of the problem is in the industry, and I'm
quite sure it's an issue now you have these hangers
on the entourage, the people who don't do anything except
drain the artists. Now supposedly they may be there for
security because you know people. Yes, if you are an artist,
you are a star, you're also a target because people
will try to test you or get you in a
(22:26):
situation because you have money. So I'm not blaming everything
on Chris Brown, but there's clearly an issue, an unresolved
issue with Chris Brown and his anger or his decision
making where he couldnot extricate himself or not avoid these
situations because they keep happening year after year after year.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
I think it's the latter. I know a lot of
people who.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
Are within the entourage, within the camp, and they say
after Chris Brown had kids, that really changed his father,
Like he's not out hanging out as much as he used.
He used to be out all night in the street.
Now it's like, hey, I got to get home because
I got to get up in the morning. I get
get to my kids to school. You know, he kids
will change you. I don't care how tough you are.
(23:11):
Kids will change you. And that is what i've from
all accounts, what I've heard is happy with Christman Brown,
and a lot of people say it's just too bad
he still got all these extracurricular folks.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Hanging out with.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Let me give some specifics before we go to break back.
In October twenty twenty three, this music producer named a'ma
do Dial all day sixteen million dollar lawsuit against Brown.
It started as a lawsuit, did it turned into criminal charges.
Filed a lawsuit against Brown, accusing him of beating him
over the head with a tequila bottle and then ruthlessly
(23:45):
stomping on him when they were both at a London
nightclub the previous February in twenty twenty two. Now, I
doubt that there's any way in which Chris Brown was
by himself at a nightclub.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
That's it's not gonna happen, not going to happen. It's
not going to be any reality.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
No, No, I don't know who hit this guy or
allegedly hit this guy over the head, or who stomped him,
But I doubt it was a one on one situation.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
And you know, now look there it was funny enough.
There was this video that went viral a little while ago.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
If Chris Brown walking outside of a club and someone
who said something to the accord of I'm gonna check
this guy. I'm gonna, you know, let him know that
I don't believe your blood hoood this that or the other.
And Chris Brown just walked right on by this guy,
did not stop to acknowledge him at all. Now his
entourage decided to, you know, react right. So so it's
(24:43):
it's like like a lot of these young stars who
are now aware of what happens when they get themselves
in trouble. They're doing everything can just say, let me
get from point A to point B. I'm trying to
get to where If Chris Brown is in a nightclub,
especially not in his hometown, he's got large security guards
with him, the target that he is not rolling without
two gigantic security guards with him. So you're saying that
(25:05):
Chris Brown left his security was just up in the
night club by himself, had a confrontation with you and
decided to go and get the tequila bottle. Person just
started start beating you with it and then he stopped you.
That's one of those like, come on, man, stop it.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
But since you have a preceding history of violence, huh,
it opens the door.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
For this stuff to be believable.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Yeah, when we come back, we got to talk about
everything old is new again. Netflix is rebooting star Search
and it's going to be a live TV show twice
a week on Netflix.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Is it going to be a thing? Is it going
to be successful? We'll talk about it next.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Exclater with Mo Kelly on YouTube, iHeartRadio app and also Instagram.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Let's talk about star Search. You might not be old
enough to remember.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Let's say you weren't, but Star Search back in nineteen
eighty three was a big damn deal. It was a
big deal because it was a ratings behemoth. It was
a big deal because it turned none of just say,
regular folks into actual stars, people who are up and
comers who didn't have any level of notoriety, and they
(26:27):
went on to be huge stars. I'm talking about people
like Leanne Rimes, Dave Chappelle, Beyonce when she was performing
as part of this group girl Time, and that's on
our YouTube screen right now, justin Timberlake, Martin Lawrence, Drew Carey, Sindbad,
Kevin James, Ray Romano, Rosie O'Donnell, Alanis Morissett.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Just to name a few, and I do mean a few.
There are many more.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
They became stars in large part because of Star Search.
And this was in nineteen eighty three. This was before
the reality television revolution. And because of that, now we
can look around and we say, well, there's an American Idol,
there's the Voice, there's America's Got Talent, there's X Factor,
there's America's Next Top Model, master Chef, Dancing with the Stars,
(27:16):
all that, and very few nobody's turn into somebody's because
of the shows. That's the real difference. Star Search lived
up to its name. People became legitimate stars after having
appeared on Star Search. Now they're trying to bring it
back and it's going to be Netflix. Netflix is going
(27:39):
to have it as an actual live show that you'll
be able to see twice per week, and they'll have
contestants in music, dance, variety, comedy, and kids categories. And
if you go to Netflix site right now, there is
a listing for it. If you think you have a
little bit of talent, you can sign up right now
(27:59):
for consideration to be a part of the show. It
doesn't list a date in which is going to first air.
I'm thinking probably early twenty twenty six. I'm just guessing,
if you know anything about television production, I doubt they'll
debut it in September.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Well maybe they might, but I'm thinking twenty twenty six.
But you can.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
The question is would there still be any appetite for
another reality TV success stardom show? Because I'm old enough
to remember Star Search. Most of the people here I
know that, Stephan probably not. You were like what four,
I don't think I was around. When were you born?
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Eighty eight? No, you're around.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
You're just four or five years old to Yeah, so
you wouldn't be able to appreciate. Again, I know about it,
but it wasn't part of me. Yeah, Mark was like
twenty six, twenty seven At times. I never remember Saich
All right, just back off, I did I interviewed ed
McMahon though, Oh, I'm jealous.
Speaker 6 (28:54):
Not long before he passed, but we mostly talked about
him being Johnny's second banana and things like that that
he didn't like that. Did he know he had come
to terms with that? He was completely I mean, he
didn't like the questions about it. There are worse things
in life than to be Johnny's backup man. But it
only makes me miss shows like the Gong Show because
all these shows like what's the one now that's been.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
On forever American Now, I know Stephan knows nothing about
the Gong Show, Chuck Barris.
Speaker 7 (29:23):
I'm.
Speaker 6 (29:25):
At least the Gong Show had a sense of humor,
and the people were there and they knew they might
get screwed with a little bit. I find the talent
shows now somewhat mean spirited, but the Gong Show, everybody
was having fun. And yeah, they had ridiculous acts like
Geene Jene the Dancing Machine, who were sort of regular features.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
The unknown comic who actually became he became sort of famous.
Speaker 6 (29:47):
He became a minor star, and in fact, not long
ago I watched a movie with him as the star
on two be Believe It or Not.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
But that was fun. Some of these talent shows are
just joyless.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
They're joyless because they the show knows that they're not
actually making the star, and they're mocking the contestants. The
Gong Show, everybody was in on the joke. None of
y'all had talent, y'all sucked. And that was the except
for this, except for the twins who had the popsicles.
Speaker 6 (30:16):
Yes, and the most suggestive thing ever put on television,
but which somehow wasn't fully dirty.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Go ahead. After like two or three seasons of American
at you kind of got it.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
So it's like, all right, you know, and no one
was becoming a huge star, and you got one car
Kelly Clarkson, Kelly Clarkson and Clay and Clay didn't even
win exactly. Jennifer Hudson. They and Jenniferson and she didn't
win either. Nope, she was like eighth.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Right.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
Anyway, part of the fun was seeing people that thought
they had so much talent couldn't sing. And now because
of political correctness, they got rid of that. Now they
only have the people that actually have a little bit
of talent. Yeah, we were laughing at William Hunk. We
were not laughing with him. No, absolutely not no, we
were not laughing on a record deal.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Sure did.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
He profited off it, but let's be clear. He thought
he could sing exactly he could not, and the world
was laughing at him, and I think in part took
pity on him, and then he parlayed that into some
level of success. Okay, he he was tone deaf, he
couldn't dance, and he only hit. He was a one
trick pony with she bangs double tantra.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (31:32):
Moving on, these shows just seemed to me like karaoke
because how many of the people who get up there
and perform are actual artists who who created their own music.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
I don't care about karaoke.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
Yeah, and this is about people wanted to be on
TV and they get their chance to be on national TV.
I get all that, but these shows are not really
farming star talent anymore.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
They are only so many actual idols out there.
Speaker 7 (31:57):
All right, let's go, all right, talk to me, tell
me your name. You blow me off like it's all
the same. You leave it fers and I'm taking away
like your bomb. Yeah, baby bay, talk to me. Tell
me your side used to ching side like a grivenn
(32:18):
you're playing games and now you're hitting my heart like
a drum. Yeah baby ba.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Well, if lady look.
Speaker 7 (32:26):
Gets on my side, we're gonna run this tongue alive.
I'll let her rough me up till she knocks me out.
She walks like she talks, and she talks like.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Everybody, Oh baby, but she moves. She moves.
Speaker 7 (32:44):
I go crazy because she loves like your flyop, but
she stinks like your bee like every.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Is that slap mode. No it does not, It doesn't slap.
But there's something else. I know we gotta go to break.
But there's something else about William Hung. I think rub
people the wrong way. And I want to say this
is delicately as possible. It was his overbite. I think
he was his ethnicity. I think all of that put
together in a package made it easier for America to
(33:12):
laugh at him. And it was mean spirited. Yes, he profited,
but it was still mean spirited. And that's part of
the reason why you don't see that anymore. I hate
it when we agree kfi am six forty. We're lived everywhere.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
I heart ready to app We go through all the
thing that's going on so that we can tell you
just that.
