Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty with.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Kelly from executive producer Leonardo DiCaprio. The History Channel's documentary
event Sitting Bull explores the remarkable life and accomplishments of
the iconic Lakota chief. It is a special two night
event on May twenty seventh and twenty eighth. Sitting Bull
examines the mid nineteenth century westward expansion of American settlers
and their encroachment upon Native territories. From it rose, the
(00:32):
legendary Lakota leader.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Sitting Bull grew up in a time of prosperity for
the Lakota people, but.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
People started flooding the west. Native people see it as
an invasion from the east.
Speaker 5 (00:47):
This is not some distant historic figure.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
This is a real person who had a transformative effect.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Joining me right now on the show is the star
of Sitting Bull. Michael Spears. Michael, thank you for coming
on tonight.
Speaker 6 (01:01):
How are you hey, Yeah, ma Daalo, I'm doing well.
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
That's fantastic. You are a member of the Lakota Nation.
For those who don't know, born in South Dakota. Walk
the same paths that Sitting Bull did. What were the
stories like that you heard growing up?
Speaker 6 (01:18):
Growing up? I got to hear some of the uh
the relationships that he had. You know, where his mother
was from, where his where he came from, and why
he did what he did.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
When you heard about what he did, like for example,
most people who may not be familiar with him know
about the Battle of Wounded Knee and its legacy. The
battle was between the US Army and the Lakota people.
Were some three hundred Lakota men, women and children were killed.
How were those stories conveyed to you growing up?
Speaker 6 (01:54):
You know, getting being so close to Oglalla Country where
Wounded Knee took place. You know, we every every year
around the anniversary of those times, you know, we would
we gather and my father and mother grandparents would share
those stories and tell us, you know, what happened and
(02:14):
why they happened. You know, Spotted Elk or Bigfoot was
was thought to be the next leader uh as Sitting Bull.
So that's why they went after him so so hard.
You know, they thought there was gonna he was gonna
be the next uh chief and and and and rise
up and so they you know, the Calvary and the
(02:37):
government chased him down and hence the massacre at Wounded Knee.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
That's a great point that you made, Sitting Bull.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Getting back to the to the show is part documentary,
part dramatization, is as much as you were involved, how
does this go about telling the most important events in
his life as a man, as a leader, as a chief.
Speaker 6 (03:00):
You know, he is one of our brightest icons of diplomacy.
He was a ceremonial chief. He was a holy man,
you know, and in his later years he didn't actually
participate in the fighting because he couldn't being a holy man.
You know, you're a proponent of life. And even in
(03:22):
the show, you're going to see his telling of his
vision prior to the battle, a little big horn or
greasy grass as we know it, and you're going to
see how it affects him emotionally and personally to talk
about and realize that there's going to be so much death,
you know, and not only with the Lakota people, but
(03:43):
on both sides, you know. And he didn't he wasn't
a proponent of war, but he was an incredible strategist
and he was very spiritually grounded and connected individual, which
you're going to get to.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
See in this time of no real direct communication. Yes
there were newspapers, but I was assumed that was more
on the army side and the settler side. How did
the legend of Sitting Bull spread? He was talked about
in newspapers, but how did he spread among the Lakoda
(04:15):
nation and beyond?
Speaker 4 (04:16):
How did that word travel?
Speaker 6 (04:18):
So in our history is historically we provide our youth
are the people with an oral history or a winter
con is what we call it. And we would have
gatherings where even here where I'm at in Montana, we
have the headwaters. There's places on sacred spaces, including the
(04:41):
Black Hills, where we would gather and have our annual
sun dance or wiping of tears or Hungapi ceremonies are
making of relatives. And so we had sacred spaces that
Sitting Bull fought for and Crazy Horse, and you know
all of our leaders fought for these spaces. To that
(05:01):
we have used over the last you know, hundreds of
thousands of years to uh to have uh you know
that they say, uh, you know, I don't like to
use that word pow wow, but it's a it's a
contemporary word of an actually a payout word power. Uh,
(05:23):
it's a gathering. So we would have gatherings of ceremonies
to to tell the you know, who lived and who
died and why and who uh what happened. So you know,
we would keep our records on on heights on there.
There was a job of a historian of each tribe
to have those records and to share them orally and pictographically.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I know there must be a lot of expectation and
a lot of responsibility in portraying someone like sitting Bull.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
I said in the beginning that it was executive produced
by Lennard DiCaprio, But there are a lot of people
correct me if I'm wrong, from the Lakota Nation who
are also involved with this piece.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Is that true?
Speaker 6 (06:07):
Yes, yes, that was gave me a big sense of pride,
you know, walking on to the location and set, seeing
the la Quota commentators, seeing the Lakota producers, and you know,
we've got Native historians telling the story. You know, we've
got representation not only from la Quota, but the crow,
(06:30):
the Hunkpopa, the you know, we have a representation from
all walks of life that are getting to share in
their knowledge.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Does any of this make you just a little bit
nervous as a person, because you know there's so many
people tuning in with their own preconceived notions of how
the story should be told. You know, there's always going
to be some sort of pushback. Does that weigh on
you in any way?
Speaker 6 (06:57):
Oh? Yes, yes it does, you know, just just as
a person. You know, you you want to have a
good relationship with everybody. You know, you don't want to
hurt nobody's feelings. And I try to do the best
that I could in my own research, my own connection,
asking permission through ceremony to play this role. You know,
I've I've already felt some of that pushback on on
(07:21):
on social media, on with with some of the relatives
of sitting well himself, and I definitely feel the weight
on the responsibility of playing such an important character or
person chief relative.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Do you think that you will be sitting watching as
it airs the first night, in the second night, or
are you someone who doesn't necessarily need to see yourself
on screen as it airs in premieres?
Speaker 6 (07:56):
Yeah, I guess I'm one of those guys who doesn't
really like to watch, But I have some relatives that
put together a watch party, uh huh. And I'm going
to be sitting there with my with some family and
relatives and we're going to get to watch it together.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
That's good.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
It's nice to hear that your family and friends will
be supporting you, because I know, especially with social media,
it can really really be difficult on occasion. Sitting Bull
a special two night event on May twenty seventh and
twenty eighth History Channel starring my guest Michael Spears as
City Bull. Mister Spears, thank you for coming on this evening.
I salute you and celebrate you and wish you nothing
(08:37):
but success in the future.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
Alila, thank you so much from my heart to yours,
and I hope you all enjoy and come away with
some awareness and a little bit of knowledge and love.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Today we're honoring our nation's heroes on Memorial Day with
some of the best of Later with mo Kelly on
CAM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Now
to the KFI twenty four hour newsroom for the latest.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
You're listening to.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Later with Moe Kelly on demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
KFIM six forty. It's Later with Mo Kelly Live Heart
radio app very quickly. We were really over last segment,
but that was really important to have that moment. I
have said a number of times, and you've let me
know that I'm hateful that animal cruelty.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
I've said many times.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
If I see a coyote in my neighborhood and I
have a chance to run it down, I'm running this
ass down every single time, every single time. Why because
I have two small dogs. They are a predator. They
will kill my dogs, they will kill a small child
if they have the opportunity, and because of the laws,
you can't actually do anything to them, and they won't
do anything about them. So yes, if it comes down
(09:54):
to me or the coyote, it's always going to be me,
and I'm not going to go out of my way
to ensure the life and livelihood of a coyote. I
have a freaking coyote den behind my house and I
show the videos to Twalla.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
All the time.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
I'm talking like three or four at the same time,
right behind my backyard.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
I'll kill them all. You're a monster, I am. I
am a monster. That's right.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
If you're a coyote, you should fear me. You should
fear me.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Run and High.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Hey, I was just sent another warning by the coyotes
of Altadena because I recently chased them in my vehicle
coming home one night, and they left yet another dead
animal in our yard. They don't do this in anyone
else's yard, but because I chased the one vehicle, they
left a half eaten possum right near where I park. Wait, man,
(10:44):
is this like a fish head in your bed?
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Basically, they are sending me a warning.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I don't know how they remember my vehicle or know
where I live, but they leave these animal carcasses right.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Next to where I park, mark of their territory. I
send you a photo to Wala asking if you recognize
the coyote in question. It had a kind of a
sneaky look.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
They look alike, Oh, no, you're talking about the ones
that tried to get me the other night when I left,
because they know where you work. Now to yeah, because
they're downstairs and look. I know it sounds like a joke,
but there were two coyotes and they were stalking me.
We can get video from security in this building. You
will see me downstairs facing off two coyotes as I
slowly backed away.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Well, the photo I sent you was of a coyote
with a dynamite plunger mark. That was so cool, very quickly.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
The reason why we're talking about this is because Tommy
Lee's wife, Brittany Ferlan. You might have seen the video
they had it at KTLA where a coyote attacked their
dog and you know, thank goodness, the dog was not killed.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
They were able to save the dog. But also, here's
the real takeaway. Broad daylight. It's not like they're nocturnal.
It's not like they're only coming out at night. They're
coming out.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
All day long.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Why because stupid mother fathers like you keep feeding them
because you think they're pets, because you think they're cute,
because you think they're stray dogs. Oh look at the coyote.
It looks like it needs something to eat. Here a
little coyote, or you leave out your trash cans too
long so they look the Once in my neighborhood they
come out every Thursday morning like ha, it's time to eat,
(12:14):
because they know, they know. And she even said she
happened to be right at the door. If she wasn't there,
that thing probably would have been killed. Yes for sure, Yes,
look I don't care who's here's it. I don't care
about animal control or whatever.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
If I see a coyote and I have a chance
to take it out, I'm going to take it out,
and I will.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Take my chances with the legal system. I will claim
self defense. You're on her. I thought the coyote had
a weapon.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
It was dark. Maybe it was a phone.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Maybe it was a sandwich. Maybe it was skittles or
iced tea. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
All I know is it's a coyote and they're known
troublemakers and they shouldn't have been in my neighborhood.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
I don't know they can they prove they live in
this neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
I don't think they're chipped, but animal control, I need
you to reach out to me at mister mo'kelly, because
I need you to come and get that possum quarkt.
Why are you always putting my soul because that's where
they need to reach out to me to get me
so they can pick out.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
It's always down in park.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
You don't understand when you're doing soul caw Saturday, you
would say something about like reparations or something, and I
would get hate mail.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
That was something you would say, and I have to
remind these sols. I've never talked about reparations on my shows.
I heard you Saturday night. No you didn't, you didn't.
I've never talked about reparations on this show.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
Do I have thoughts?
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Sure, but I've never talked about it on my show.
And it's not like it's proxy. Well you ought to
send this to him. No, I don't sit along racial
hate mail to people.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
What do you think this is?
Speaker 4 (13:46):
But trying to dodge everything. I thought it was especially
offensive a couple segments ago when you were talking about
grabbing your wife's caboose in the gym, No, that was you.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Here's the true story. Here's a true story. I already
forgot it. Michael Crow very early on in the Moe
Kelly Show. Okay, he was talking about something something something,
and he used the cee our word talking about himself.
I'm not gonna say it because they'll say that I
was the one who said it.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
I don't know what you mean, though, ritz right, what Saltine?
Oh okay, he said it on air. I got so
much hate mails. I can't believe it's such a racist
you call white people. Now, I said it, wasn't me.
It was Michael Krozier, and Michael Krosner got such a
kick out of that.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
You with this fla.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
No, it was not funny, but I know you get
kind of quiet when I refer to myself as white
trash and every time I said that's you, Mark Ronnery,
because they.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Assume it's me. That type of Bourbon's is not even
in my lexicon.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
I think one time I referred to myself as a
white devil, and you got kind of weird about that, absolutely,
because I would never say that.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
I don't think that, and I don't think the humor
translates not coming from me.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
It's nothing funny about it.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
But let's be clear that last reference was made by
Mark Ronner, and don't edit that out of the podcast tool.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
I know how you get down. Mo and I sound
very similar, so there's really no way to tell. Wait,
remember the I know We're over.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Remember the hate mail I got from the guy who
said this was an all black show.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Yes, well, it's like three fifths if I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
We're live everywhere. I heart radio app That was pretty
good like that. This is the best of later with
Mo Kelly kicking off Memorial Day weekend on k if

It's Later with Mo Kelly on kf I AM six
point forty, Live everywhere on the iHeart App. I'm Mark Ronner.
This is the runner Report. This part of the show
isn't the best of it's live. I'm mostly alive. Foosh
is here with me because thank you for that. Because
Mission Impossible, the final reckoning is out for the big
holiday weekend and you need to know the score. Here's
a little bit of the trailer, All lives. I'm not
(16:28):
defined by any one action. Our lives of the sum
of our.
Speaker 7 (16:35):
Choices, everything your everything you've done.
Speaker 6 (16:45):
Let's come to this.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
When the need for certainty is absolute and the odds
are deemed impossible, the mission falls to him.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Yes it does. That's all. We're going to play that
because there's a lot running. It's a largely visual trailer
in radio not so much a visual medium. Now listen,
you almost can't review Mission Impossible. The final Reckoning like
a normal movie. It's too much of a huge event,
with too much of a huge star that maybe only
years down the line, or we're going to be able
to take a real critical look at it and see
(17:18):
how much it holds up. But let's just come clean here.
There's movies that we were into in the moment, but
we're kind of embarrassed of now. Foosh, I'll admit this.
I think I have a positive review of at least
one of the Star Wars prequels. I'm a little embarrassed
of now, maybe all of them. In fact, we were
just so happy to have new Star Wars and we
were in an audience and there was air conditioning, and
(17:40):
I don't want to talk about it anymore, Or that
Ben Affleck Daredevil movie. I said, I don't want to
talk about it anyway. Right now, I'll say, you'd have
to be kind of an a hole to look down
your nose at mission impossible. The Final Reckoning, it's a
huge amount of fun. It's far from perfect, but the
fun parts are such massive cinema crazy spectacle that you're
(18:00):
just gonna see it. Okay, you have to, but you'd
be forgiven if you didn't like the first few in
the series, and we can argue about this if there's time.
Greg Morris, if you remember him from the original Mission
Impossible TV show, he walked out of the first one
of the movies and called it an abomination, and he
was right, especially if you loved that TV show making
mister phelps the bad guy go straight to hell with that.
(18:22):
The TV show ran for seven seasons and it was
based on a French caper movie called Top Copy Top Kapi.
It's really good. It was tense without much dialogue, and
the Mission Impossible TV series had a lot of the
same aesthetic as Star Trek, and they were both made
by Desi Lou That's right, Lucy gave us both Mission
Impossible and Star Trek. The second movie was much good either,
(18:46):
the third one that kind of sucked to They started
getting good around maybe the fifth one. You just had
to accept that it wasn't going to be like the
show and it was going to be more a series
of extreme stunts strung together with some exposition. So by
the time of the one where Tom Cruise is swinging
around the skyscraper and the Middle East and hanging on
to the side of a plane, they'd gotten a lot better.
They also show Cruz has no fear of heights, and
(19:08):
this new one really confirms that. Wow. By the way,
another reason the early Mission Impossible movie sucks a reason
they should have been great, and credit to Cruz for
at least taking a stab at this. They wanted each
Mission Impossible movie to be from a different, distinctive director
in his style, So we got one from De Palma,
from John Woo, from JJ Abrams, which would make a
(19:30):
good one of those one of these things is not
like the other in Sesame Street, you remember that. Then
Christopher McCrory took over and he's been the director since
Rogue Nation in twenty fifteen. He worked with Cruise on
the Reacher movie, which we all sort of disavow now
because of the Alan Richson series. And he also did
a good little crime movie called The Way of the Gun.
Put that in your list if you haven't seen it.
(19:51):
Mission Impossible the final Reckoning. The first part was Dead
Reckoning that came out two years ago. I'll tell you
how much you really need to know before you see
this new one. Nothing. If you go through them all
from the first one like Mo did, then that's fine.
You're into masochism, doesn't hurt anybody else, go to town.
But there are plenty of references to the early movies
in this one, and some good and not so good
(20:13):
attempts to tie them all together, which reminded me of
the clumsy way they tried to do that in the
Awful Last Couple Daniel Craig James Bond movies Now Dead.
Reckoning involved a world threatening artificial intelligence called the Entity,
and in part two they're trying to stop the Entity
from destroying the world and really playing up Ethan Hunt
(20:33):
as the savior, which you kind of hurt a little
bit of in the trailer. That sets off my cheezometer.
But like I said, the movie's not perfect. In fact,
the first act is so talky and portentous and irritating
that I was surprised it survived in the finished movie.
Some tedious, clumsy stuff. That's when you go to the bathroom.
We got to the theater for a twelve to fifty
five am show and we were there until well after
(20:55):
four am. Good lord, that's because we're dedicated. Final Reckoning
features a minor character from the very first movie, and
I won't spoil that, but what a cool jackpot to
bring this guy back and give him a major role.
I hope it gives him a career boost. There is
a callback to that mister Phelps is the bad guy thing,
which again I hated, and the callback's unnecessary. But by
(21:16):
that time in the movie that reveal you just need
a cigarette and you're not going to care. What else
do you want to tell me? It was actually missus
Phelps all along. Go ahead, Now, there are a couple
of major sequences that even if you hate everything else,
these are going to make you feel like you're at
a Capital M movie. You've seen some highlights in trailers
of crews on a plane and other things, and those
(21:37):
have been playing for a long time, but I promise
you you haven't seen anything close to all of it.
I was cackling a couple times. I almost grabbed Twala's arm.
I think I clapped like a carnival seal a couple
times too. Okay, it's so much fun. The villain is
played by iSIG Morales, and it's pretty unmemorable as a villain,
but he does look like he's having a good time.
(21:58):
In his defense, they don't really give h much to
do in this movie, except to be a delivery device
for some of the action. They go big in Final
Reckoning they got to save the world. I don't know
how final this one really is for the series. If
there are anymore, I wouldn't mind them going a little smaller,
like the old TV show Go to some completely made
up little South American dictatorship where it's all white American
(22:20):
actors in whatever kind of makeup American presidents use these days,
in a constant sheen of sweat. Those are on Paramount
Plus now you can watch them top copy the movie
that they were inspired by that's on Amazon Prime. They
aren't full of extreme stunts at all, but they're great fun.
They're tense, and they're good to watch if you want more.
When you finally stagger out of the Final Reckoning and
(22:42):
use the bathroom after about three hours, okay, now foosh,
unless you have something to add. This is where MO
would usually throw back to me for a news break.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
I was just going to ask, so, Okay, you don't
have to watch a lot of or you don't have
to watch the other ones, but what about watching the
what is it dead Reckoning?
Speaker 4 (23:00):
Yeah? I think at the beginning they were going to
call this one Dead Reckoning Part two, but they changed
it to Final Reckoning, so we don't know if it's
the end of the series or what. You can watch it,
but if you don't watch it, it's not going to
affect at all how you understand the plot or appreciate
all all the set pieces. If you're a completist whatever
I mean, I don't know what your tastes and movies
(23:22):
are because you and I argue off the air about
you know, Once upon a Time in Hollywood and whatever else,
and to the point where we doubt each other's sanity.
But any spy action movie, I'm going to watch it.
So I guess the final question is was there a
post credit scene? There is not a post credit scene.
It's not a Marvel movie. And Tuala and I actually
(23:43):
made sure to stay even though we're like holding up
our phones to each other. It's after four am. We
stayed just to make sure that's nothing. There's nothing there
all right now, Foosh, this is now your mission. Should
you choose to accept it, go ahead and throw it
to me for a news break.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
All right, let's go right back to Mark rounder the
KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Well done, you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on
demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
We don't have to go to the theaters to entertain
ourselves with a movie. For example, I was in Saturday
night just watching speed Racer, the original cartoon from episode one,
watching them all in sequential order.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
Ah yeah, and I had a ball.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
It's on crunchy Roll, which is available through Amazon Prime.
I was thoroughly entertained. And I didn't even know you
had a vape pen.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
I don't vape.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Okay, Mark, you can watch Breed Racer without being imbued.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Okay, well whatever you said. No, no, that's not my thing.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
I was just sleepy, I guess, unless you consider, like
tart cherry gummies is some sort of you know, mood
altering mind altering.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
No, not so much. Oh, there you go.
Speaker 9 (25:02):
It's the best around. Everybody say, he comes, here comes
speed Racer.
Speaker 5 (25:14):
He's a demon on wheels.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
He's a demon, and he's going to be chasing after something.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
He said demon twice. I don't know why.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
He's still be at your life?
Speaker 4 (25:27):
Is he what?
Speaker 7 (25:29):
Fine?
Speaker 5 (25:30):
And when the offer against him?
Speaker 3 (25:32):
And there today squirt.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
Dank your life, speed Racer. See you get through go speed.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
Race certain sprat.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
I'm not even to ask Kenna. I know she has
no idea what this is.
Speaker 9 (25:49):
None.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
It'll just depress us, I know. Just say it to
speed Racer. I've heard of it.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Oh, I've heard of it.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Okay, let's but when you watch something like speed Racer
as an adult, I mean well into your adulthood, and
you look at it through adult eyes, it looks very
different from when I saw it as a child. Of course,
of course the dialogue is corny, and how they make
speed Racer this super moral good guy. They wrap up
(26:17):
everything in thirty minutes. It's really ridiculous on its surface.
But then you notice other things. And this is going
to sound really politically incorrect. I'm just gonna put that
out there. But I noticed some other things. And I've
talked about this before, but I really really noticed it now.
Speed Racer. He wears these black shoes, these really bright
(26:37):
red socks, white pants, and ascot or like a handkerchief
to night around his ankerchief. Yeah, and mustard gloves. And
he's never kissed Tricksy.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
That's all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Man, you nailed the outfit exactly right.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
That's how well I know race mustard yellow mustard, yellow
pond colored.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Yeah, well, look have you seen Racer X. He's very manly.
You think you're going to be paying attention to trix.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
With all that manhood and the tight white pants and
race Rexy has his big chest, barrel chest.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
Yes, Racer X is a sexy dude. He's a sexy beast.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Trixie's irrelevant, but Trixy the whole.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
The reason I'll bring this up because Trixy throughout speed
Racer is jealous that speed Racer is not showing her attention.
In the cartoon, it's always supposedly some other woman that
he's showing attention to, but he's really really fixated on
Racer X and every other guy in the story.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
I'm serious. You go back and look at it through
adult eyes.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
It is all there.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
I'm waiting for a speed Racer to come out next week.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
About it wasn't brother, Yeah, but he didn't know that.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Remember in the show, he got into a fight with
Pop's race her and he ran away. In the movie
he supposedly died Boilers. Well they tell you that, like
you didn't see the wait, I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
No, it's not Siler.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
It's actually in the second or third episode they explained
the whole backstory of speed Racer Rex Racer. I was
gonna say, he has a sim not a similar outfit,
but he's got the same like M on his chest
and the.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
Letters are different.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
It's if you know the original Japanese iteration, it's like
mischi go or something. I can't remember what it's called.
But no, speed Racer. He's he's dealing with some stuff internally.
You know, he's trying to find himself. Tracy no attention none,
and she is fawning over him.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
They should bring the movie back to theaters, you know,
they're bringing back like old movies.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
Yes, yeah, it was. I watched it.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
I was telling you twy I watched the movie the
two thousand and eight movies. It was way ahead of
its time.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
It was a it was just you had to be
a super speed Racer fan to get all the Easter
eggs and appreciate the subtleties in it.
Speaker 5 (29:02):
And it's a hard cartoon to adapt to the big screen.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
But the Wakowski then Brothers now Sisters did a great
job with it, and I appreciate the movie now more
so than then, go ahead, Mark.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
To find the monkey. Chim Chim a little bit suspicious
as well. You mean, in the in the in the
TV show, all of it, the whole scenario, what's what's
the monkey?
Speaker 7 (29:22):
Do?
Speaker 2 (29:22):
They never they never explain Chimchim's existence. Why anyone would
have a pet chim chimpanzee and no one around them
finds that odd huge red flag.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Michael Jackson had a chimpanzee and we thought it was
a red flag. Yeah, okay, that's the fight.
Speaker 5 (29:38):
It was.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
It was a it was a a focus point for weirdness.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
You know, people didn't have and.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
They dressed up the chimpanzee and it knew how to
drive and and talk and communicate.
Speaker 5 (29:49):
It was all weird.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
Yeah. I don't know how to tell you this too,
all but pointing out that Michael Jackson did something, it
doesn't really exonerate you from weirdness.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
So you know, if speed racer you out there listening,
it's okay, come on out, come on out.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
It's different Now. That was back in nineteen sixty seven.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
Yeah, who since Charles Nelson Riley wears a neckerchief, there
you go.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
I think he was about thirty one Fred Flinstone.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
No fred from Scooby in the game. Oh yeah, yes, well, well,
since you're on the subjects.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
Yeah, I think Freddy took the Scooby van to some
bath houses. Okay, Freddy didn't.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Freddie didn't have any interest in Daphne, and Daphne was
fine at frog Legs. Dafne had a body on her
and everybody knew about Velma.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Oh, don't sleep on Velma. Come on now, no Velma.
Velma knew. Everybody knew, and Velma was out. She didn't
say it, but Velma was out. I can't believe we're
having this coup. There's nothing more important. We could be
talking about.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
Nothing.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Okay, so speed racer, Velma, Fred Fred he's on a
lo lo Yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
Of course.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
Ernie and Burt. Nobody's ever disputed that. Okaybiously, Ernie and Bert.
All right, Look, Lucy.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
And Ricky slept in separate beds and they were a couple,
right yep. Ernie and Bert got to be at least
thirty five years old. Separate beds they in the I
thought they were in the same bed.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
I don't remember that. Separate what wait?
Speaker 5 (31:31):
Fuck?
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Today we're honoring our nation's heroes on Memorial Day with
some of the best of Later with mo Kelly on
KFI AM six forty Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty with.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Kelly from executive producer Leonardo DiCaprio. The History Channel's documentary
event Sitting Bull explores the remarkable life and accomplishments of
the iconic Lakota chief. It is a special two night
event on May twenty seventh and twenty eighth. Sitting Bull
examines the mid nineteenth century westward expansion of American settlers
and their encroachment upon Native territories. From it rose, the
(00:32):
legendary Lakota leader.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Sitting Bull grew up in a time of prosperity for
the Lakota people, but.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
People started flooding the west. Native people see it as
an invasion from the east.
Speaker 5 (00:47):
This is not some distant historic figure.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
This is a real person who had a transformative effect.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Joining me right now on the show is the star
of Sitting Bull. Michael Spears. Michael, thank you for coming
on tonight.
Speaker 6 (01:01):
How are you hey, Yeah, ma Daalo, I'm doing well.
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
That's fantastic. You are a member of the Lakota Nation.
For those who don't know, born in South Dakota. Walk
the same paths that Sitting Bull did. What were the
stories like that you heard growing up?
Speaker 6 (01:18):
Growing up? I got to hear some of the uh
the relationships that he had. You know, where his mother
was from, where his where he came from, and why
he did what he did.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
When you heard about what he did, like for example,
most people who may not be familiar with him know
about the Battle of Wounded Knee and its legacy. The
battle was between the US Army and the Lakota people.
Were some three hundred Lakota men, women and children were killed.
How were those stories conveyed to you growing up?
Speaker 6 (01:54):
You know, getting being so close to Oglalla Country where
Wounded Knee took place. You know, we every every year
around the anniversary of those times, you know, we would
we gather and my father and mother grandparents would share
those stories and tell us, you know, what happened and
(02:14):
why they happened. You know, Spotted Elk or Bigfoot was
was thought to be the next leader uh as Sitting Bull.
So that's why they went after him so so hard.
You know, they thought there was gonna he was gonna
be the next uh chief and and and and rise
up and so they you know, the Calvary and the
(02:37):
government chased him down and hence the massacre at Wounded Knee.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
That's a great point that you made, Sitting Bull.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Getting back to the to the show is part documentary,
part dramatization, is as much as you were involved, how
does this go about telling the most important events in
his life as a man, as a leader, as a chief.
Speaker 6 (03:00):
You know, he is one of our brightest icons of diplomacy.
He was a ceremonial chief. He was a holy man,
you know, and in his later years he didn't actually
participate in the fighting because he couldn't being a holy man.
You know, you're a proponent of life. And even in
(03:22):
the show, you're going to see his telling of his
vision prior to the battle, a little big horn or
greasy grass as we know it, and you're going to
see how it affects him emotionally and personally to talk
about and realize that there's going to be so much death,
you know, and not only with the Lakota people, but
(03:43):
on both sides, you know. And he didn't he wasn't
a proponent of war, but he was an incredible strategist
and he was very spiritually grounded and connected individual, which
you're going to get to.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
See in this time of no real direct communication. Yes
there were newspapers, but I was assumed that was more
on the army side and the settler side. How did
the legend of Sitting Bull spread? He was talked about
in newspapers, but how did he spread among the Lakoda
(04:15):
nation and beyond?
Speaker 4 (04:16):
How did that word travel?
Speaker 6 (04:18):
So in our history is historically we provide our youth
are the people with an oral history or a winter
con is what we call it. And we would have
gatherings where even here where I'm at in Montana, we
have the headwaters. There's places on sacred spaces, including the
(04:41):
Black Hills, where we would gather and have our annual
sun dance or wiping of tears or Hungapi ceremonies are
making of relatives. And so we had sacred spaces that
Sitting Bull fought for and Crazy Horse, and you know
all of our leaders fought for these spaces. To that
(05:01):
we have used over the last you know, hundreds of
thousands of years to uh to have uh you know
that they say, uh, you know, I don't like to
use that word pow wow, but it's a it's a
contemporary word of an actually a payout word power. Uh,
(05:23):
it's a gathering. So we would have gatherings of ceremonies
to to tell the you know, who lived and who
died and why and who uh what happened. So you know,
we would keep our records on on heights on there.
There was a job of a historian of each tribe
to have those records and to share them orally and pictographically.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I know there must be a lot of expectation and
a lot of responsibility in portraying someone like sitting Bull.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
I said in the beginning that it was executive produced
by Lennard DiCaprio, But there are a lot of people
correct me if I'm wrong, from the Lakota Nation who
are also involved with this piece.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Is that true?
Speaker 6 (06:07):
Yes, yes, that was gave me a big sense of pride,
you know, walking on to the location and set, seeing
the la Quota commentators, seeing the Lakota producers, and you know,
we've got Native historians telling the story. You know, we've
got representation not only from la Quota, but the crow,
(06:30):
the Hunkpopa, the you know, we have a representation from
all walks of life that are getting to share in
their knowledge.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Does any of this make you just a little bit
nervous as a person, because you know there's so many
people tuning in with their own preconceived notions of how
the story should be told. You know, there's always going
to be some sort of pushback. Does that weigh on
you in any way?
Speaker 6 (06:57):
Oh? Yes, yes it does, you know, just just as
a person. You know, you you want to have a
good relationship with everybody. You know, you don't want to
hurt nobody's feelings. And I try to do the best
that I could in my own research, my own connection,
asking permission through ceremony to play this role. You know,
I've I've already felt some of that pushback on on
(07:21):
on social media, on with with some of the relatives
of sitting well himself, and I definitely feel the weight
on the responsibility of playing such an important character or
person chief relative.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Do you think that you will be sitting watching as
it airs the first night, in the second night, or
are you someone who doesn't necessarily need to see yourself
on screen as it airs in premieres?
Speaker 6 (07:56):
Yeah, I guess I'm one of those guys who doesn't
really like to watch, But I have some relatives that
put together a watch party, uh huh. And I'm going
to be sitting there with my with some family and
relatives and we're going to get to watch it together.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
That's good.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
It's nice to hear that your family and friends will
be supporting you, because I know, especially with social media,
it can really really be difficult on occasion. Sitting Bull
a special two night event on May twenty seventh and
twenty eighth History Channel starring my guest Michael Spears as
City Bull. Mister Spears, thank you for coming on this evening.
I salute you and celebrate you and wish you nothing
(08:37):
but success in the future.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
Alila, thank you so much from my heart to yours,
and I hope you all enjoy and come away with
some awareness and a little bit of knowledge and love.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Today we're honoring our nation's heroes on Memorial Day with
some of the best of Later with mo Kelly on
CAM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Now
to the KFI twenty four hour newsroom for the latest.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
You're listening to.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Later with Moe Kelly on demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
KFIM six forty. It's Later with Mo Kelly Live Heart
radio app very quickly. We were really over last segment,
but that was really important to have that moment. I
have said a number of times, and you've let me
know that I'm hateful that animal cruelty.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
I've said many times.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
If I see a coyote in my neighborhood and I
have a chance to run it down, I'm running this
ass down every single time, every single time. Why because
I have two small dogs. They are a predator. They
will kill my dogs, they will kill a small child
if they have the opportunity, and because of the laws,
you can't actually do anything to them, and they won't
do anything about them. So yes, if it comes down
(09:54):
to me or the coyote, it's always going to be me,
and I'm not going to go out of my way
to ensure the life and livelihood of a coyote. I
have a freaking coyote den behind my house and I
show the videos to Twalla.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
All the time.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
I'm talking like three or four at the same time,
right behind my backyard.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
I'll kill them all. You're a monster, I am. I
am a monster. That's right.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
If you're a coyote, you should fear me. You should
fear me.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Run and High.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Hey, I was just sent another warning by the coyotes
of Altadena because I recently chased them in my vehicle
coming home one night, and they left yet another dead
animal in our yard. They don't do this in anyone
else's yard, but because I chased the one vehicle, they
left a half eaten possum right near where I park. Wait, man,
(10:44):
is this like a fish head in your bed?
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Basically, they are sending me a warning.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I don't know how they remember my vehicle or know
where I live, but they leave these animal carcasses right.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Next to where I park, mark of their territory. I
send you a photo to Wala asking if you recognize
the coyote in question. It had a kind of a
sneaky look.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
They look alike, Oh, no, you're talking about the ones
that tried to get me the other night when I left,
because they know where you work. Now to yeah, because
they're downstairs and look. I know it sounds like a joke,
but there were two coyotes and they were stalking me.
We can get video from security in this building. You
will see me downstairs facing off two coyotes as I
slowly backed away.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Well, the photo I sent you was of a coyote
with a dynamite plunger mark. That was so cool, very quickly.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
The reason why we're talking about this is because Tommy
Lee's wife, Brittany Ferlan. You might have seen the video
they had it at KTLA where a coyote attacked their
dog and you know, thank goodness, the dog was not killed.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
They were able to save the dog. But also, here's
the real takeaway. Broad daylight. It's not like they're nocturnal.
It's not like they're only coming out at night. They're
coming out.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
All day long.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Why because stupid mother fathers like you keep feeding them
because you think they're pets, because you think they're cute,
because you think they're stray dogs. Oh look at the coyote.
It looks like it needs something to eat. Here a
little coyote, or you leave out your trash cans too
long so they look the Once in my neighborhood they
come out every Thursday morning like ha, it's time to eat,
(12:14):
because they know, they know. And she even said she
happened to be right at the door. If she wasn't there,
that thing probably would have been killed. Yes for sure, Yes,
look I don't care who's here's it. I don't care
about animal control or whatever.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
If I see a coyote and I have a chance
to take it out, I'm going to take it out,
and I will.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Take my chances with the legal system. I will claim
self defense. You're on her. I thought the coyote had
a weapon.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
It was dark. Maybe it was a phone.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Maybe it was a sandwich. Maybe it was skittles or
iced tea. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
All I know is it's a coyote and they're known
troublemakers and they shouldn't have been in my neighborhood.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
I don't know they can they prove they live in
this neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
I don't think they're chipped, but animal control, I need
you to reach out to me at mister mo'kelly, because
I need you to come and get that possum quarkt.
Why are you always putting my soul because that's where
they need to reach out to me to get me
so they can pick out.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
It's always down in park.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
You don't understand when you're doing soul caw Saturday, you
would say something about like reparations or something, and I
would get hate mail.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
That was something you would say, and I have to
remind these sols. I've never talked about reparations on my shows.
I heard you Saturday night. No you didn't, you didn't.
I've never talked about reparations on this show.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
Do I have thoughts?
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Sure, but I've never talked about it on my show.
And it's not like it's proxy. Well you ought to
send this to him. No, I don't sit along racial
hate mail to people.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
What do you think this is?
Speaker 4 (13:46):
But trying to dodge everything. I thought it was especially
offensive a couple segments ago when you were talking about
grabbing your wife's caboose in the gym, No, that was you.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Here's the true story. Here's a true story. I already
forgot it. Michael Crow very early on in the Moe
Kelly Show. Okay, he was talking about something something something,
and he used the cee our word talking about himself.
I'm not gonna say it because they'll say that I
was the one who said it.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
I don't know what you mean, though, ritz right, what Saltine?
Oh okay, he said it on air. I got so
much hate mails. I can't believe it's such a racist
you call white people. Now, I said it, wasn't me.
It was Michael Krozier, and Michael Krosner got such a
kick out of that.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
You with this fla.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
No, it was not funny, but I know you get
kind of quiet when I refer to myself as white
trash and every time I said that's you, Mark Ronnery,
because they.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Assume it's me. That type of Bourbon's is not even
in my lexicon.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
I think one time I referred to myself as a
white devil, and you got kind of weird about that, absolutely,
because I would never say that.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
I don't think that, and I don't think the humor
translates not coming from me.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
It's nothing funny about it.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
But let's be clear that last reference was made by
Mark Ronner, and don't edit that out of the podcast tool.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
I know how you get down. Mo and I sound
very similar, so there's really no way to tell. Wait,
remember the I know We're over.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Remember the hate mail I got from the guy who
said this was an all black show.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Yes, well, it's like three fifths if I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
We're live everywhere. I heart radio app That was pretty

Mission Impossible, the final reckoning is out for the big
holiday weekend and you need to know the score. Here's
a little bit of the trailer, All lives. I'm not
(16:28):
defined by any one action. Our lives of the sum
of our.
Speaker 7 (16:35):
Choices, everything your everything you've done.
Speaker 6 (16:45):
Let's come to this.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
When the need for certainty is absolute and the odds
are deemed impossible, the mission falls to him.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Yes it does. That's all. We're going to play that
because there's a lot running. It's a largely visual trailer
in radio not so much a visual medium. Now listen,
you almost can't review Mission Impossible. The final Reckoning like
a normal movie. It's too much of a huge event,
with too much of a huge star that maybe only
years down the line, or we're going to be able
to take a real critical look at it and see
(17:18):
how much it holds up. But let's just come clean here.
There's movies that we were into in the moment, but
we're kind of embarrassed of now. Foosh, I'll admit this.
I think I have a positive review of at least
one of the Star Wars prequels. I'm a little embarrassed
of now, maybe all of them. In fact, we were
just so happy to have new Star Wars and we
were in an audience and there was air conditioning, and
(17:40):
I don't want to talk about it anymore, Or that
Ben Affleck Daredevil movie. I said, I don't want to
talk about it anyway. Right now, I'll say, you'd have
to be kind of an a hole to look down
your nose at mission impossible. The Final Reckoning, it's a
huge amount of fun. It's far from perfect, but the
fun parts are such massive cinema crazy spectacle that you're
(18:00):
just gonna see it. Okay, you have to, but you'd
be forgiven if you didn't like the first few in
the series, and we can argue about this if there's time.
Greg Morris, if you remember him from the original Mission
Impossible TV show, he walked out of the first one
of the movies and called it an abomination, and he
was right, especially if you loved that TV show making
mister phelps the bad guy go straight to hell with that.
(18:22):
The TV show ran for seven seasons and it was
based on a French caper movie called Top Copy Top Kapi.
It's really good. It was tense without much dialogue, and
the Mission Impossible TV series had a lot of the
same aesthetic as Star Trek, and they were both made
by Desi Lou That's right, Lucy gave us both Mission
Impossible and Star Trek. The second movie was much good either,
(18:46):
the third one that kind of sucked to They started
getting good around maybe the fifth one. You just had
to accept that it wasn't going to be like the
show and it was going to be more a series
of extreme stunts strung together with some exposition. So by
the time of the one where Tom Cruise is swinging
around the skyscraper and the Middle East and hanging on
to the side of a plane, they'd gotten a lot better.
They also show Cruz has no fear of heights, and
(19:08):
this new one really confirms that. Wow. By the way,
another reason the early Mission Impossible movie sucks a reason
they should have been great, and credit to Cruz for
at least taking a stab at this. They wanted each
Mission Impossible movie to be from a different, distinctive director
in his style, So we got one from De Palma,
from John Woo, from JJ Abrams, which would make a
(19:30):
good one of those one of these things is not
like the other in Sesame Street, you remember that. Then
Christopher McCrory took over and he's been the director since
Rogue Nation in twenty fifteen. He worked with Cruise on
the Reacher movie, which we all sort of disavow now
because of the Alan Richson series. And he also did
a good little crime movie called The Way of the Gun.
Put that in your list if you haven't seen it.
(19:51):
Mission Impossible the final Reckoning. The first part was Dead
Reckoning that came out two years ago. I'll tell you
how much you really need to know before you see
this new one. Nothing. If you go through them all
from the first one like Mo did, then that's fine.
You're into masochism, doesn't hurt anybody else, go to town.
But there are plenty of references to the early movies
in this one, and some good and not so good
(20:13):
attempts to tie them all together, which reminded me of
the clumsy way they tried to do that in the
Awful Last Couple Daniel Craig James Bond movies Now Dead.
Reckoning involved a world threatening artificial intelligence called the Entity,
and in part two they're trying to stop the Entity
from destroying the world and really playing up Ethan Hunt
(20:33):
as the savior, which you kind of hurt a little
bit of in the trailer. That sets off my cheezometer.
But like I said, the movie's not perfect. In fact,
the first act is so talky and portentous and irritating
that I was surprised it survived in the finished movie.
Some tedious, clumsy stuff. That's when you go to the bathroom.
We got to the theater for a twelve to fifty
five am show and we were there until well after
(20:55):
four am. Good lord, that's because we're dedicated. Final Reckoning
features a minor character from the very first movie, and
I won't spoil that, but what a cool jackpot to
bring this guy back and give him a major role.
I hope it gives him a career boost. There is
a callback to that mister Phelps is the bad guy thing,
which again I hated, and the callback's unnecessary. But by
(21:16):
that time in the movie that reveal you just need
a cigarette and you're not going to care. What else
do you want to tell me? It was actually missus
Phelps all along. Go ahead, Now, there are a couple
of major sequences that even if you hate everything else,
these are going to make you feel like you're at
a Capital M movie. You've seen some highlights in trailers
of crews on a plane and other things, and those
(21:37):
have been playing for a long time, but I promise
you you haven't seen anything close to all of it.
I was cackling a couple times. I almost grabbed Twala's arm.
I think I clapped like a carnival seal a couple
times too. Okay, it's so much fun. The villain is
played by iSIG Morales, and it's pretty unmemorable as a villain,
but he does look like he's having a good time.
(21:58):
In his defense, they don't really give h much to
do in this movie, except to be a delivery device
for some of the action. They go big in Final
Reckoning they got to save the world. I don't know
how final this one really is for the series. If
there are anymore, I wouldn't mind them going a little smaller,
like the old TV show Go to some completely made
up little South American dictatorship where it's all white American
(22:20):
actors in whatever kind of makeup American presidents use these days,
in a constant sheen of sweat. Those are on Paramount
Plus now you can watch them top copy the movie
that they were inspired by that's on Amazon Prime. They
aren't full of extreme stunts at all, but they're great fun.
They're tense, and they're good to watch if you want more.
When you finally stagger out of the Final Reckoning and
(22:42):
use the bathroom after about three hours, okay, now foosh,
unless you have something to add. This is where MO
would usually throw back to me for a news break.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
I was just going to ask, so, Okay, you don't
have to watch a lot of or you don't have
to watch the other ones, but what about watching the
what is it dead Reckoning?
Speaker 4 (23:00):
Yeah? I think at the beginning they were going to
call this one Dead Reckoning Part two, but they changed
it to Final Reckoning, so we don't know if it's
the end of the series or what. You can watch it,
but if you don't watch it, it's not going to
affect at all how you understand the plot or appreciate
all all the set pieces. If you're a completist whatever
I mean, I don't know what your tastes and movies
(23:22):
are because you and I argue off the air about
you know, Once upon a Time in Hollywood and whatever else,
and to the point where we doubt each other's sanity.
But any spy action movie, I'm going to watch it.
So I guess the final question is was there a
post credit scene? There is not a post credit scene.
It's not a Marvel movie. And Tuala and I actually
(23:43):
made sure to stay even though we're like holding up
our phones to each other. It's after four am. We
stayed just to make sure that's nothing. There's nothing there
all right now, Foosh, this is now your mission. Should
you choose to accept it, go ahead and throw it
to me for a news break.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
All right, let's go right back to Mark rounder the
KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Well done, you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on
demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
We don't have to go to the theaters to entertain
ourselves with a movie. For example, I was in Saturday
night just watching speed Racer, the original cartoon from episode one,
watching them all in sequential order.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
Ah yeah, and I had a ball.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
It's on crunchy Roll, which is available through Amazon Prime.
I was thoroughly entertained. And I didn't even know you
had a vape pen.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
I don't vape.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Okay, Mark, you can watch Breed Racer without being imbued.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Okay, well whatever you said. No, no, that's not my thing.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
I was just sleepy, I guess, unless you consider, like
tart cherry gummies is some sort of you know, mood
altering mind altering.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
No, not so much. Oh, there you go.
Speaker 9 (25:02):
It's the best around. Everybody say, he comes, here comes
speed Racer.
Speaker 5 (25:14):
He's a demon on wheels.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
He's a demon, and he's going to be chasing after something.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
He said demon twice. I don't know why.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
He's still be at your life?
Speaker 4 (25:27):
Is he what?
Speaker 7 (25:29):
Fine?
Speaker 5 (25:30):
And when the offer against him?
Speaker 3 (25:32):
And there today squirt.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
Dank your life, speed Racer. See you get through go speed.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
Race certain sprat.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
I'm not even to ask Kenna. I know she has
no idea what this is.
Speaker 9 (25:49):
None.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
It'll just depress us, I know. Just say it to
speed Racer. I've heard of it.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Oh, I've heard of it.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Okay, let's but when you watch something like speed Racer
as an adult, I mean well into your adulthood, and
you look at it through adult eyes, it looks very
different from when I saw it as a child. Of course,
of course the dialogue is corny, and how they make
speed Racer this super moral good guy. They wrap up
(26:17):
everything in thirty minutes. It's really ridiculous on its surface.
But then you notice other things. And this is going
to sound really politically incorrect. I'm just gonna put that
out there. But I noticed some other things. And I've
talked about this before, but I really really noticed it now.
Speed Racer. He wears these black shoes, these really bright
(26:37):
red socks, white pants, and ascot or like a handkerchief
to night around his ankerchief. Yeah, and mustard gloves. And
he's never kissed Tricksy.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
That's all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Man, you nailed the outfit exactly right.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
That's how well I know race mustard yellow mustard, yellow
pond colored.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Yeah, well, look have you seen Racer X. He's very manly.
You think you're going to be paying attention to trix.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
With all that manhood and the tight white pants and
race Rexy has his big chest, barrel chest.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
Yes, Racer X is a sexy dude. He's a sexy beast.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Trixie's irrelevant, but Trixy the whole.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
The reason I'll bring this up because Trixy throughout speed
Racer is jealous that speed Racer is not showing her attention.
In the cartoon, it's always supposedly some other woman that
he's showing attention to, but he's really really fixated on
Racer X and every other guy in the story.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
I'm serious. You go back and look at it through
adult eyes.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
It is all there.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
I'm waiting for a speed Racer to come out next week.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
About it wasn't brother, Yeah, but he didn't know that.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Remember in the show, he got into a fight with
Pop's race her and he ran away. In the movie
he supposedly died Boilers. Well they tell you that, like
you didn't see the wait, I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
No, it's not Siler.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
It's actually in the second or third episode they explained
the whole backstory of speed Racer Rex Racer. I was
gonna say, he has a sim not a similar outfit,
but he's got the same like M on his chest
and the.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
Letters are different.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
It's if you know the original Japanese iteration, it's like
mischi go or something. I can't remember what it's called.
But no, speed Racer. He's he's dealing with some stuff internally.
You know, he's trying to find himself. Tracy no attention none,
and she is fawning over him.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
They should bring the movie back to theaters, you know,
they're bringing back like old movies.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
Yes, yeah, it was. I watched it.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
I was telling you twy I watched the movie the
two thousand and eight movies. It was way ahead of
its time.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
It was a it was just you had to be
a super speed Racer fan to get all the Easter
eggs and appreciate the subtleties in it.
Speaker 5 (29:02):
And it's a hard cartoon to adapt to the big screen.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
But the Wakowski then Brothers now Sisters did a great
job with it, and I appreciate the movie now more
so than then, go ahead, Mark.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
To find the monkey. Chim Chim a little bit suspicious
as well. You mean, in the in the in the
TV show, all of it, the whole scenario, what's what's
the monkey?
Speaker 7 (29:22):
Do?
Speaker 2 (29:22):
They never they never explain Chimchim's existence. Why anyone would
have a pet chim chimpanzee and no one around them
finds that odd huge red flag.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Michael Jackson had a chimpanzee and we thought it was
a red flag. Yeah, okay, that's the fight.
Speaker 5 (29:38):
It was.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
It was a it was a a focus point for weirdness.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
You know, people didn't have and.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
They dressed up the chimpanzee and it knew how to
drive and and talk and communicate.
Speaker 5 (29:49):
It was all weird.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
Yeah. I don't know how to tell you this too,
all but pointing out that Michael Jackson did something, it
doesn't really exonerate you from weirdness.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
So you know, if speed racer you out there listening,
it's okay, come on out, come on out.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
It's different Now. That was back in nineteen sixty seven.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
Yeah, who since Charles Nelson Riley wears a neckerchief, there
you go.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
I think he was about thirty one Fred Flinstone.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
No fred from Scooby in the game. Oh yeah, yes, well, well,
since you're on the subjects.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
Yeah, I think Freddy took the Scooby van to some
bath houses. Okay, Freddy didn't.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Freddie didn't have any interest in Daphne, and Daphne was
fine at frog Legs. Dafne had a body on her
and everybody knew about Velma.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Oh, don't sleep on Velma. Come on now, no Velma.
Velma knew. Everybody knew, and Velma was out. She didn't
say it, but Velma was out. I can't believe we're
having this coup. There's nothing more important. We could be
talking about.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
Nothing.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Okay, so speed racer, Velma, Fred Fred he's on a
lo lo Yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
Of course.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
Ernie and Burt. Nobody's ever disputed that. Okaybiously, Ernie and Bert.
All right, Look, Lucy.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
And Ricky slept in separate beds and they were a couple,
right yep. Ernie and Bert got to be at least
thirty five years old. Separate beds they in the I
thought they were in the same bed.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
I don't remember that. Separate what wait?
Speaker 5 (31:31):
Fuck?
