Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Am sixty Years Later with Mo Kelly. We're live everywhere
in the iHeartRadio app and on YouTube. And there's a
very spirited discussion and debate going on in the Motown Chat.
There are those are of the opinion as we were
talking about last segment last hour about what we would
call the vulture, Edwin Castro buying up these properties on
(00:42):
a discount in Altadena, and there's Somedden think, well, what's
wrong with that? You know, people could have turned down
the offer. They had a choice, they didn't have to sell,
they could have held out for another offer. That's the
debate going on in the chat. And I don't want
to get too far a sidetracked because I want to
stay are getting angry because when people profit off other
(01:03):
people's pain, I have a problem with that. So right now,
if you can join the chat and weigh in and
put it your two cents in that discussion. Right now,
we're going to move on to Netflix twelve. I don't
know if you've heard about these Netflix house locations which
are opening this year, and today they gave some more
details about these retail stores, which are coming to various
(01:27):
areas around the country by Philadelphia and Dallas. They'll have
one in Las Vegas in the next two years, and
these Netflix houses will sell merchandise and food based on
Netflix shows, and they'll have immersive activities from series like
Wednesday and Squid Game, which are Netflix properties. Netflix Housing
(01:50):
at Galeria Dallas, I know where that is. We'll have
a game room and immersive experiences based on Stranger Things
and Squid Game. The Netflix Netflix House in Houston, I'm sorry.
The Netflix House in Las Vegas will be on the Boulevard.
It be at Boulevard on the Strip. Now here's my
only question. Now, how easy would it to be to.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
I'll say, re.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Configure these houses as the properties get older. In other words,
it's just Stranger Things last season. In a year or so,
people won't be checking for Stranger things like that.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
I don't think now.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
I believe that they'll be able to flip it easily
because when they have the Netflix Experience in Downtown Lay
they flip it and move it around all the time,
and it's amazing how they reconfigure it from when they
did Squid Games versus Stranger Things. It's it's the same property,
but it's like they just flip it and just it's
(02:53):
almost like Hollywood set makers and designers and all they
come through and just reimagine it.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yeah, I'm sure it's got to be easy. I like that.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Businesses like Netflix they're thinking beyond just what they do.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
And they've always done that.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
You know, when they were doing DVDs, they said, oh,
why about streaming? And they got into streaming before a
lot of these other places did. And now that everyone's
on streaming and said, well, what's the next thing, and
they're already looking at this. And I would liking it
to hard rock cafe, where you have an experience connected
to a brand that you know, and then you will
(03:31):
start looking for these places in just about every city.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
I can see where they're going with this.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
It's not like an amusement park, but it's a thematic experience.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
I understand why they are rolling these out because my
co parent and my daughter they've gone to both the
Stranger Things and the Squid Games activations in downtown LA
and they love it. They love the experience, and this
is something that every time they go like, oh it's packed,
it's absolutely crowded. So if Netflix, and we've seen that,
(04:04):
if Netflix is as smart as we know they are,
now they've said, hey, let's make this permanent. If we're
getting this much traffic and people are taking this much interest,
and we know, being Netflix, we can reshape it however
we want based on what's hot on Netflix.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Let's go Netflix House.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
There are forty experiences and they're in three hundred cities,
so this is they're doing this.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
They're going all out.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
They've partnered with brands and retailers on clothing, toys, lotions,
and snacks based on the show.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah, I would love to go to one just to
see how expansive, how inventive it may be, because you
will have and the reason I asked, how quickly could
they like reconfigure it. They'll have a new Netflix series
every single year most likely. That's very popular. And if
you could just keep integrating it to your various locations, Yeah,
(05:00):
I get.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
It, and think about it.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
It's small scale. This is a nationwide now theme park
for the most part, because you have these large sized
activation venues and if you put one in every major
city in the US, Netflix is actually encircling like a
Disneyland saying we don't have to worry about people spending
(05:23):
you know, their life saving to come in for one
experience with you all. Well, we have these things every city, everywhere.
It's easy for us to put them up, change them around,
and keep getting traffic in. So that's how Netflix as
a streaming platform is like, yeah, we can, we can
get on on Disneylands level if we space out what
(05:44):
we do.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Yeah, And I guess the truest sentiment is when other
streamers like a Disney Plus might start doing something similar
where you have these themed I don't want to call
it attraction, but event places where you can feature your
own intellectual property and have people kind of participate in it. Yeah,
(06:05):
I can see it. I can see it. It makes
great sense. And Netflix is again out in front of everyone.
It's one of the reasons why it dominates streaming. And
we have another story about streaming later on how streaming
has eclipsed broadcast and cable combined as far as viewership.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
So yeah, this is the future.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
And if Netflix continues to be at the forefront of
everything which is televised entertainment, then they will continue to win.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Yeah, and Netflix, much to Mark Chagrin is invested as
lead in AI production and development, so there are working
on being able to churn out high quality shows for
less money by cutting out a lot of the back
end work with AI.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
I know, Mark, I know you hate to hear it,
but I'm saying that's you can antagonize me all you want.
It's not going to make it anything other than garbage. Okay,
I'm just saying nobody wants AI. Nobody, that's not true. Actually,
the people who stand a profit from it, that's it.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
There's somebody, and unfortunately those somebody buddies often are the
decision makers and have the future and fate of people's
livelihoods in their hands.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
It's going to get rejected.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
The people who watch, read, and listen to things don't
want any part of that.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Which, No, that's wish casting.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
You're making a qualitative judgment on the value of what
AI can produce, But the quantitative judgment as far as
how much money it can save businesses means that there
will always be a market and desire for AI.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Well, it's not wish casting. It's observation and critical thinking which.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Leads to them. You know you're saying when you say
nobody wants this.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
If nobody wanted it, it would not be it would
not be integrated, integrated in our lives all already.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
If people wanted it, they wouldn't have to try so
hard to force it on us. And that's exactly what
they're doing. It's on your phone right now. I don't
want it, and I'm not buying the new phone that's
got that's got AI on it.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Oh so in others, you're never going to buy a
new phone.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
Put it off by your phone. Your phone won't work. Yeah,
you just won't have a phone. You could just be
like a cave man. I just write as impressed as
I am with this. It's going to happen, so you
might as well lie back and enjoy it. Philosophy of yours.
I will never Bobby will never buy that. I'm not
Bobby Knight. I'm not saying just laid back Bobby Knight.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
No, I am telling you that, because something is inevitable,
to at least wrap your mind around it and see
how it could best suit you in your life. In
other words, it's almost like worry about death. It's inevitable,
all right. It is inevitable. Now I can make a
choice about the quality of life that I'm going to
live between now and then.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
I mean, no one likes to think about it.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
And you know, we can try to say I'm not
going to live my life in fear, but the bottom
line is going to come for all of us at
one point.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Death is inevitable. AI is not.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
The only thing AI has in common with death is
that it represents the death of creativity and human consumers.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
But not all business is predicated on creativity.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
It's gonna get rejected, widespread, and you can push it
on people all you want, people want.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
I sent you last night a very funny new vlog,
the Stormtrooper vlog, and that's all AI. I've sent it
to you because I wanted you to see how someone
is creatively using AI to put together these hilarious Stormtrooper vlogs.
And it is high comedy and it's high production value,
(09:45):
and it's all AI. There's like, like, really no people
in these, it's just AI.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
People are shunning anyone who tries to well, just for
one example, the whole comics industry, if they suspect that
you've used AI to put out a comic, absolutely called
out and shun Mark, the comic industry is dying, dying.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
I'm glad you said it. It's just one example. I'm
telling you it's a bad example. It's a bad example.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
The comic industry is not a good example to to
rest your case on in the industry that's dying, in
the industry where comic shops by and large are dying,
where the largest distributor of comic books has done what Marked,
They went bankrupt.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Yes, and AI is not going to help them any.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
It would if it cuts back on the cost of
production and getting things out on time and all of that,
it absolutely would ail.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Right now, history speak for everybody.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
I don't know, Mark, it sounds like it's the people.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Let's talk about it from a music standpoint. Nobody wants
that he just came from the from the music industry.
I mean not just CAP, but we did come from
the music industry. That's like saying, no one wants to
listen to AI music.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Yes they do.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
The whole time when they had that Drake sounding song
with the Weekend whatever, people will eat that up. They
don't care. It's not about high quality. You think anyone
listens to the radio talking about Well, that's not high quality. No,
people have eaten tide pods too. That doesn't make it good.
It's not quality stuff.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
No, Mark, you're you're you're Jestables are two things that
don't They don't have that.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Right, Okay, ai is the tide pod of art.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Go ahead and need it if you want. I don't want.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
But evidently there was a market out there because there
are thousands of kids who are eating tide pods, even
though it wasn't necessarily the best choice to make.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
Mmmmm tide pods. Mark, I don't know. I don't know Mark. No,
I know about Mark. Wrong with them? Looks at what
you two swine are defending.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
Look at it?
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Why, Stefan just we're not going to have a nooserip.
We're just going to keep on rolling to the next eddit.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
You don't have to, we don't need, we don't need
to listen to Mark for another fifteen minutes.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
We're well into news time right now, and I'm in command.
Go to news, Stefans. Why no, no, no, no, no, don't
listen to him, come back, come back, Do not listen
to him.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
We have to do the news. We do, yes, No,
I have to toss to you for you to do the name.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
We'll start tossing you tosser, Hi, can't I am six
forty It's Later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Can't I. It's a letter with mo Kelly.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
We're live everywhere the iHeartRadio app and on YouTube. The
chat is hot on YouTube in Motown. The mo migos
are going at it. Let me give you something else
to argue about. Disneyland is bringing right along videos directly
to subscribers on Disney Plus starting next month. There are
(13:03):
sixteen immersive point of view experiences, including Pirates of the Caribbean, Indiana,
Jones Adventure, Hollywood Land, Haunted Mansion, and others, which will
premiere on Disney Plus on July seventeenth in honor of
Disneyland's seventieth anniversary. Nick polio'chini will probably have some thoughts
on that. He'll walk us through it.
Speaker 7 (13:22):
I was gonna say, if you want to just save
some time, come on this week with Nick on Instagram
and you can see those ride alongs already, so.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Give us some insight as far as how they're being received,
what you experience.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Come with it. I think it's been great.
Speaker 7 (13:35):
Now this is one of those things that Disney and
I just literally posted an event that I'll be talking
about next hour that I attended last night. But Disney
has always been very, very secretive of not wanting people
to share all of these things because they really want
you to go to the park. And I think something
that I have been a supporter of and a lot
of people have been, but are specially Disney's finally jumping
(13:56):
on the bandwagon with it. Disneyland is not a place
that everyone can visit, so to be able to get
that first hand experience and knowledge, and I think not
too after Mark being so sassy last break, but he
did bring up the right point that Disney in and
of itself is one of those organizations that does things
that benefit it, but it's something that's just available for
(14:20):
and I was trying to I lost my train of
thought when Mark he had said something specifically regarding this
that you know you'll be able to get in there,
and oh that was the little kid in the the
the laundry basket.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
I've seen that forever.
Speaker 7 (14:33):
In fact, the funniest thing is I've done it with
my nieces and That's why I say you can go
to this weekend with Nick or Nick Polio o'china on Instagram.
You can literally see my two youngest nieces in a
laundry basket and doing exactly the same thing.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
So I think it's funny.
Speaker 7 (14:44):
And in the world of Peloton and all these different
applications that are health based, I think it's a really
great option because you could walk through Disneyland. It could
be something that you could move toward getting your rings
closed if you're an iOS user or you know, if
you're tracking your health.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
So I think it's a great thing.
Speaker 7 (15:01):
I just think that Disney, who always does absolutely incredible things,
really really sometimes waits a little too long. And I'm
glad that it's coming for the seventieth on July seventeenth,
But still, this is something that you know, myself and
other people who are in the media and or content
creators or influencers have been doing for a good period
of time.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
These POV walkthroughs that you mentioned coming to Disney plus
parts of the Caribb and Indiana Jones Radiator Springs and
Credit Coaster, Haunted Mansion, Tiana's Bayou Adventure cars Land, Pixar
pal around Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Jungle Cruise, swored around
the world, and on and on and on.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
I wonder, though, does it take some of the magic away?
Speaker 7 (15:45):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (15:45):
For sure, I think that's always going to be the situation.
Speaker 7 (15:48):
But it's just like even so last night and not
you know, I'll talk more about it, but I went
to one of the special Disney Light after our Dark
events last night. I will be there again tomorrow night.
But I filmed one of the parades. And while the
parades and the entertainment offerings at Disney are those specific
things that people seek it out for, it doesn't matter
how good it looks on film, it looks five times
(16:09):
better in person. So whether I like it as a preview,
so I think it's something that at Walt Disney Travel
should have been doing for years, is sending these POV
videos to be like can you wait? You can't wait
to be on Jungle Cruise. As you're seeing right now.
If you're following mister Mokelly on YouTube, you can see
exactly what it's like to be on the backside of water.
I mean, as silly as that sounds, so it's very
(16:29):
specific to being able to really connect and have a thing.
So for me, I think it's a great advertising opportunity
that has been missed for decades by not sharing some
of this stuff out. I understand if you don't want
to show start to finish. I totally get that. But also,
in person will always be better, no matter what the
situation is, and you can speak to that having gone
to theater, having gone to film, having gone any Always
(16:50):
in person is always going to be the optimal and
the best way to do it. But it's a great
tease to be able to see this and be like,
oh wow, I can't wait to be on Pirates of
the Caribbean.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
I have.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
I wouldn't call it a more big curiosity, but I
do have some curiosity to see some of these rides
that maybe only went on it once, or maybe I
want to explain to someone else, or maybe I just
want to give relatives who are in town just a
sampling of what the experience of Disney is like.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Because to your point, it's not.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
It's sometimes cost prohibitive, sure, and it's time prohibitive. I
remember I went two years ago and I said, I
can't do all this in one day.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
It's not possible.
Speaker 7 (17:27):
Exactly and the thing too is even though they have
multi pass which used to be called by lanes and
then they used to be called fast passes at one
point in time, even with that, you're not going to
be able to get it through. And there's a handful
of influencers and a handful of content creators who specifically
have documented the number of days. I want to say
it's at least a day and a half per park
to be able to get through absolutely everything. So it's
(17:50):
being able to go, Hey, I'm going to go to
Disney California Adventure, because I want to go to Avengers
Campus because I'm a huge fan of Marvel, But then
my kids want to go to Tonetown over at Disneyland.
So now we're going to at what at least three
days that you're going to need to be able to
get through, and you're just talking about one land in
each of those one lands, yes, so it's a whole
different ballgame where you're trying to figure this out. So
I think this is great and also a lot of
(18:10):
times you can be able to check it out and
be like that looks really cool.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
But you know what, I don't need to put the
time in for it right.
Speaker 7 (18:17):
So you know, you got that tease, you got all
the incentive, but now you've actually honed to where you
want to go and how you want to approach it.
So I think it's a great opportunity. I think it's
something again that's been missed for far too long.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
All Right, Nick, we don't need you at nine o'clock.
You've already done your whole stuff, so you can go.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Very night.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I see you next time. It's Later with mont Kelly,
can't buy AM six forty. We're alive everywhere in the
iHeartRadio app. And when we come back, we have hit
a momentous moment here. Streaming has overtaken cable and broadcast
news excuse me, broadcast television for the very first time.
And we'll give you some of the statistics when we
come back.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
It's Lated with mo Kelly live everywhere the iHeartRadio app
and YouTube. And you may not remember, but very early
in my tenure here ONFI, it was around the time
in which I started the Mo Kelly Show, which was
twenty twelve, I had talked about cutting the cord and
at the time, people are like, what, you're not watching
(19:28):
broadcast TV, You're not watching cable TV. It actually put
up a blog post about the steps about getting a
digital antennacy.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
You can get your local channels all that. I was
an early adopter.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Usually I'm late to things, but when it came to
cutting the cord, I was an early adopter and it
changed my life. The only thing which would have helped
me cut the cord earlier would have been being able
to find a way to watch.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
My sports on TV.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Live sports, because back in the early days, there wasn't
a way to watch live sports other than like going
to a bar or something. The licensing agreements were not
in place. And then Sling TV came along and they
had ESPN and Fox Sports and different packages, and I said,
oh I'm done. I got rid of DirecTV and never
(20:17):
looked back. And I have been a big proponent of streaming.
I can have my TV anywhere, you know, if I
have something that's DVR or I have all my apps.
I can watch on my phone, I can watch on
my tablet, I can watch a laptop. I can cast
from my phone to a screen in my house. It's
it is absolutely wonderful if you haven't already made the
(20:39):
switch now. For the first time, streaming viewership has overtaken
both cable and broadcast television. Streaming platforms accounted for forty
four zero point eight percent of all viewership in the
month of May. This is according to Nielsen, so it
(21:00):
must be true compared to twenty four point one percent
of viewers who watch cable and twenty point one percent
who watch broadcast television.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Don't get me wrong.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
I have a favorite broadcast television show like Chicago PD,
Law and Order, SUSVU, and I think that's about it
as far as broadcast television, mark, Are you watching anything
on broadcast television?
Speaker 5 (21:26):
You know now that you bring this up, There's not
a single broadcast show that I tune into every week.
I can't think of a single one, and I don't
even watch it every week.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
I just sort of like let my DVR just to
crew a bunch of episodes and then I'll sit home
on a given Sunday and watch them all binge am all.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
The only thing that I watch with any regularity is
just all the news that I can possibly hoover up,
and that doesn't really count.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
The whole idea of appointment watching simply does not exist anymore.
I can't tell you what night Chicago PD comes on.
I think it's maybe Wednesday, maybe Thursday.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
Yeah, it's prehistoric to imagine the time when we were
kids or our parents were in their prime, they had
to stay home to catch a show they want wanted,
and if they missed it, they were never going to
see it again, depending.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
On how old you are or are not.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
There were these things called reruns, and you would if
you missed your episode of whatever. And these were back
when TV seasons had maybe twenty two episodes. Imagine that,
twenty two episodes, and if you missed it, you'd have
to wait for months for it to come back around
and you might be able to see it.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
But the problem was you wouldn't know.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
I mean, you had the TV Guide, which is a
magazine of what was coming on that week, but you
couldn't go on IMDb or look some other website and
find out when an episode was going to air.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
You just didn't know.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
The TV Guide was the top selling magazine in the
United States, and people would get their TV Guides in
the mail and go through them and circle what they planned.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Yes, it was adorable.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
My father's mother, grandmother would buy her TV guide, also
got a reader's digest and we mark them up as
far as what we wanted to watch.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
And this was pre VCR. What's a VCR.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
This is what we did in the analog days to
record television shows, so if you missed it, you just
missed it and you were just sol And then as
technology got better, we had the VCR, the video cassette recorder,
and we could start recording some of our shows, but
we still didn't have the autonomy to record anything and
(23:33):
everything because you just didn't know what was going to
be the subject of an episode, and if you missed it,
you have to catch it on a rerun, which was
very hit and miss. And then cable came along and
was a little better, but not like streaming where you
could find any episode anytime you want. You missed it,
So what you can find it you can go on
Hulu and get the back episodes, and go on Disney
(23:55):
Plus and get the back episodes. I don't think kids
now know how good they really have it. As far
as the television what was called television that experience, I
don't know if they even have televisions anymore. They just
have laptops and you know, and their phones. I don't
know how they watch TV on their phone. I got
to cast it. My eyes are not good enough anymore. No,
(24:16):
we're so spoiled now you can get anything. Nothing disappears,
well almost nothing. But in the old days, the hunt
was half of seeing a show.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
It was, and even before they had VCRs.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
I remember when I was getting my tonsils out, true story,
I was five years old and to wala's going to
laugh at this because this is a real show. Did
you ever see the movie Coming to America? And there's
a character on it called named Randy Watson, And one
of the famous lines from Coming to America when they
introduced him, he sings the greatest Love of All and
(24:50):
he's introduces you know, he's Officer so and so from
the What's Going Down episode of That's My Mama. Most
people don't know that That's My Mama was a real
TV show in the early nineteen seventies. I say that
to say when I was in the hospital and I
was getting my tonsils out, it was at Overnight's Day.
(25:10):
I asked my sister to tape one of the TV
shows that I'd like to watch. It was that's my mama.
But back then, all you could get was an audio recording.
So she took an old style tape recorder, you know,
you push the buttons down and it was it was
you didn't even.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Plug it in.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
You were recording the ambient noise of the TV. So
the recording quality was absolutely horrible.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
I did the same thing when I was a kid.
I read TV shows and that was the only way
you could record a TV show. And if it's a
TV show that you.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Were familiar with, it didn't matter because you know the voice,
you know the character, You could in your mind make
the facial expression.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
So it was good enough.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
Not only that, people don't seem to remember what a
Sophie's choice it was back in those days, because there
were three networks and PBS, and if you wanted to
watch two shows and they were on at the same time,
you had to pick one and that would choose and
that was it. I'm sort of addicted to these collections
that are on YouTube about shows from certain you know,
each year in the past, and there's shows on there
(26:12):
I've never heard of. Because once you made your commitment,
like I said, you didn't see the other ones, and
some of these things I've never heard of. So you know,
pick a year, early sixties, seventies, eighties. These things are
fascinating to me.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
You had ABC, NBC, CBS, that was it, and yes
you had PBS, which was channel twenty eight, but there
wasn't programming content per se on channel nine, k COW.
There wasn't programming content on KCOP, channel thirteen or channel eleven.
There may have been some cartoons earlier the day, but
they didn't have evening content for the most part.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
I remember LA had a pretty cool set of UHF
channels during the brief time I lived here as a
young kid, and they would show like the same cult
movie five nights a week, so like the Giant Robot
Johnny Socom movie or what it was twenty eight and
fifty Okay, okay, but ioce, I remember watching that all
Like Kimba the White Lion was on there. Yes, you
(27:07):
get your evening cartoons. It was Kimba the White Lion.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
And there was something else I would watch as well,
but it was at night.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Yeah, and maybe it was speed Racer, but it was
kim of the White Lion. Definitely but there wasn't a
lot of programming, and TV went off at like maybe
nine o'clock, and then you'd have the Late Show or
Johnny Carson, but then it went off. I think we're
around maybe midnight, and you get the bars until six am.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Yes, the bars and the do you know where your
children are? Signed?
Speaker 5 (27:35):
And all that stuff that does not exist anymore except
on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Yeah, and they played the national anthem. I think it
was around five thirty six o'clock. I'm not exactly sure.
Speaker 6 (27:43):
Welcome new Oscar's Bomber Shop, named after my daddy who
passed it on to meet.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
It's been a part of Washington, DC a long time.
This is me, Clifton Curtis, my own boss, is loving
every vended of them. And this is my little sister
Tracy and her husband Leonard.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
This is my best friend, Happy Go Luckier, and this
wonderful person.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Man. That's my mama.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
And that's the voice of Clifton Davis, the star of
That's my mama, who's been a guest on this show.
When he was starring in Wicked at the second Strom Theater,
he came on the show. So talk about things going
full circle. That's my Mama.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
I think it was. I don't know, maybe nineteen. They
were thirty nine episodes. Seventies. Oh yeah it was.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
It premiered September fourth of nineteen seventy four. Yeah, and
I got my tonsils out in seventy five. If I'm
not mistaken, I was five years old. That's pretty cool though.
You got him on the show.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Yeah, I mean full circle moment. Yeah, that's a real
voice from our childhood. Yeah, so that's my mama. Was
a real TV show.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
So when you watch Coming to America, it's an inside
inside joke.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
You know, it's a real thing.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
It's later with Mokelly can' if I am Since forty five,
everyone in the iHeartRadio app. We have a tom Cruise
for Oscar update. He's gonna get his Oscar thanks to
this show.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Who not remembers to thank you?
Speaker 2 (29:11):
I have a feeling he won't, but deep down inside
he knows the truth.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
He must be in league with Eddie Murphy.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Such a hater. Such a hater. And when Eddie Murphy
comes on this show, I'm gonna make him address you
and make a joke about you and talk about you
or something immortalized you in a very negative way.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Now should I hold my breath waiting for this?
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Look, We've waited some twelve years for Eddie on this show,
So okay, so what's another three months?
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Okay? I got you.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Kelly six.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Tom Cruise and others
they're going to get their Oscar, going to be honorary ones,
but they're gonna get their Oscars. The Academy of Motion
Picture Arts and Sciences, the organization behind the oscars, said
today that Tom Cruise, Debbie Allen, and Win Thomas, among others,
(30:21):
will receive honorary Oscars at the twenty twenty five Governor's Awards.
In addition, Dolly Parton will receive the Academy's Jean Herschelt
Humanitarian Award. And I probably mispronounced that the Oscar statuettes
will be presented in a ceremony for the sixteenth annual
Governor's Awards on November sixteenth at the Ray Doby Ballroom
(30:44):
at Ovation Hollywood.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
Quote this Governor's.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
This year's Governor's Awards will celebrate four legendary individuals. Whose
extraordinary careers and commitment to our filmmaking community continue to
leave a lasting impact. Academy President Janet Yang in the
release today. And I say this because some people thought
I was tongue in cheek as it related to Tom
Cruise getting an Oscar for his stunt work along with
(31:13):
his acting. I was being one hundred percent serious. I
was not joking at all. I think that if you
are able to act while doing those stunts, and you're
not doing cutaways, you're doing facial expressions, you're delivering dialogue.
My belief is that is part of the acting performance
and he should receive due consideration for Best Actor. If
(31:35):
you're just judging Tom Cruise on the strength of his
delivering lines or playing Ethan Hunt the character from only
what you hear, then I think you are selling him short.
And that's why we started this hashtag Oscar for Tom Cruise,
or as twallaw was say, hashtag Tom Cruise for Oscar,
(31:58):
whatever it is, either or, but we want to get
Tom Cruise an actual Oscar for his acting talent, which
I think is inclusive of his stunts. I'm not talking
about getting him an Oscar for his stunts. I'm not
talking about like a Stuntman Award. I'm not talking about that.
I'm talking about one of the top four categories for
(32:18):
his work. Because there are plenty of people who can
play a secret agent. We can talk about Matt Damon,
we can talk about Keanu Reeves, any number of them
over the years is just elba a Daniel Craig, but
they're not doing all the things that we see on
screen which are attributed to that character. Who has more
(32:41):
of an undertaking Tom Cruise or Matt Damon, No disrespect
to Matt Damon, Tom Cruise or Daniel Craig.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
When we get to see Tom Cruise.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Doing all the jumping out of the plane and running
down the side of a building, how can that be
excluded from Tom Cruise's performance?
Speaker 3 (33:02):
Be it absolutely serious? He deserves consideration for an acting oscar.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
Especially when you consider that it's not just the action
that he is giving us. He's not just living out
every scene and not just cutting away. What Tom Cruise
is doing is he's staying in character while doing it.
While we are seeing his face, we are seeing the stress,
we are feeling everything he's going through. That is why
(33:29):
his films are so believable in all films, in top
Gun everything, it's just like, man, that's that dude in
that cockpit. That makes the performance that much better. It
makes us get deeper and deeper and deeper into what
we're watching. It's not the same with other actors when
you know it is a stunt performer. It's Tom Cruise
(33:51):
actually takes us beyond the veil of believability and things
like that. I think that alone is worth him getting
an Oscar now, and I believe wholeheartedly. I mean, you know,
Oscar Committee, You're welcome to join the migos and join
the motown and leave a comment and tell us we're wrong.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
But I believe they always tell us we're wrong.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
I believe that it's this show that got him in consideration,
because's a lot of people that deserve an honorary Oscar.
But right now, Tom Cruise, Yeah, that is because of
the Oscar for Tom, Tom for Oscar campaign.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
And when he gets his statuette for like best Actor,
I think I think he will be mad enough to
come on this show and give us our due credit
because I think he's a stand up individual.
Speaker 5 (34:40):
He'll thank you on the stage right then and there
who knows. Who knows.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
I want to dedicate this a word to moke.
Speaker 5 (34:46):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
A month ago, no one thought we had a chance
in the world of getting Eddie Murphy on this show,
and we're one step closer.
Speaker 5 (34:52):
Yeah, it wasn't that instant rejection. That's right. So we're
still there. They're all going to acknowledge exactly what they
owe you.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
You are mocking me now, but one day, one day,
you're gonna have to bow down and acknowledge the power
and strength of positive thinking.
Speaker 5 (35:08):
You spend a lot of time fantasizing about me bowing down. Mo,
I'm gonna take that silence as a yes. You take
that signs forever you want to take it right, I'm
not following you.
Speaker 4 (35:20):
Look, all I'm saying is Tom Cruise is an honorable man.
Tom Cruise. We know he stays out here. My co
parent is actually party that.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
I believe it was Tom Cruise's house. Will Smith and
Jada were there. There's a whole thing. They were on
the dance word getting it in. Tom Cruise is a
cool dude. I think he's cool enough to say, you
know what those dudes over on later?
Speaker 3 (35:45):
Yeah, yeah, I need I need to come through and stop.
Speaker 5 (35:49):
Please, what do you mean they were getting it in
on the dance floor getting it in dancing?
Speaker 3 (35:53):
It has more than one meeting Mark Dad, Kelly, Why
do you gotta make everything weird? Well, we need clarification.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Henry uchi Yama in the Motown chat says Scientology is
not allowed to win an oscar talking about Tom Cruise,
and I said, uh, Will Smith is a Scientologist and
he won an oscar for starters, So just let you know, and.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
That that automatically, just you know, dis abuses that whole claim.
Speaker 5 (36:17):
Maybe maybe, oh, if you join the Church of Scientology,
you'll get a higher caliber of guests.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
Well, he has to come on the show and then
personally invite me. We'll have that conversation and you'd consider it. Well,
we had on Nancy cart right, Bart Simpson.
Speaker 5 (36:32):
Would you consider joining it? Would you would you go
for an orientation that's not what they do?
Speaker 3 (36:36):
I don't do that.
Speaker 5 (36:37):
Don't come in and just that that's not what they do.
No hostile witness answer the question. Please, would you consider it?
If Tom Cruise personally tried to recruit you into the church,
I'd hear what he have to say, but he would
be unsuccessful. See, Okay, I would be respectful, just like
when Jehovah's witness come to my door, Just like when
(36:57):
Mormon on the on the missions come to my I'm respectful.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
I listen to what they have to say, and then
I politely decline. I say, okay.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
See, I took your question in which you're trying to
mock me, and I answered it seriously.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
If I am sex forty were live everywherey I Heart
Radio
Speaker 1 (37:13):
Ks I and KOs T HD two Los Angeles, Orange
County more stimulating talk
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Am sixty Years Later with Mo Kelly. We're live everywhere
in the iHeartRadio app and on YouTube. And there's a
very spirited discussion and debate going on in the Motown Chat.
There are those are of the opinion as we were
talking about last segment last hour about what we would
call the vulture, Edwin Castro buying up these properties on
(00:42):
a discount in Altadena, and there's Somedden think, well, what's
wrong with that? You know, people could have turned down
the offer. They had a choice, they didn't have to sell,
they could have held out for another offer. That's the
debate going on in the chat. And I don't want
to get too far a sidetracked because I want to
stay are getting angry because when people profit off other
(01:03):
people's pain, I have a problem with that. So right now,
if you can join the chat and weigh in and
put it your two cents in that discussion. Right now,
we're going to move on to Netflix twelve. I don't
know if you've heard about these Netflix house locations which
are opening this year, and today they gave some more
details about these retail stores, which are coming to various
(01:27):
areas around the country by Philadelphia and Dallas. They'll have
one in Las Vegas in the next two years, and
these Netflix houses will sell merchandise and food based on
Netflix shows, and they'll have immersive activities from series like
Wednesday and Squid Game, which are Netflix properties. Netflix Housing
(01:50):
at Galeria Dallas, I know where that is. We'll have
a game room and immersive experiences based on Stranger Things
and Squid Game. The Netflix Netflix House in Houston, I'm sorry.
The Netflix House in Las Vegas will be on the Boulevard.
It be at Boulevard on the Strip. Now here's my
only question. Now, how easy would it to be to.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
I'll say, re.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Configure these houses as the properties get older. In other words,
it's just Stranger Things last season. In a year or so,
people won't be checking for Stranger things like that.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
I don't think now.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
I believe that they'll be able to flip it easily
because when they have the Netflix Experience in Downtown Lay
they flip it and move it around all the time,
and it's amazing how they reconfigure it from when they
did Squid Games versus Stranger Things. It's it's the same property,
but it's like they just flip it and just it's
(02:53):
almost like Hollywood set makers and designers and all they
come through and just reimagine it.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yeah, I'm sure it's got to be easy. I like that.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Businesses like Netflix they're thinking beyond just what they do.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
And they've always done that.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
You know, when they were doing DVDs, they said, oh,
why about streaming? And they got into streaming before a
lot of these other places did. And now that everyone's
on streaming and said, well, what's the next thing, and
they're already looking at this. And I would liking it
to hard rock cafe, where you have an experience connected
to a brand that you know, and then you will
(03:31):
start looking for these places in just about every city.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
I can see where they're going with this.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
It's not like an amusement park, but it's a thematic experience.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
I understand why they are rolling these out because my
co parent and my daughter they've gone to both the
Stranger Things and the Squid Games activations in downtown LA
and they love it. They love the experience, and this
is something that every time they go like, oh it's packed,
it's absolutely crowded. So if Netflix, and we've seen that,
(04:04):
if Netflix is as smart as we know they are,
now they've said, hey, let's make this permanent. If we're
getting this much traffic and people are taking this much interest,
and we know, being Netflix, we can reshape it however
we want based on what's hot on Netflix.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Let's go Netflix House.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
There are forty experiences and they're in three hundred cities,
so this is they're doing this.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
They're going all out.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
They've partnered with brands and retailers on clothing, toys, lotions,
and snacks based on the show.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah, I would love to go to one just to
see how expansive, how inventive it may be, because you
will have and the reason I asked, how quickly could
they like reconfigure it. They'll have a new Netflix series
every single year most likely. That's very popular. And if
you could just keep integrating it to your various locations, Yeah,
(05:00):
I get.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
It, and think about it.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
It's small scale. This is a nationwide now theme park
for the most part, because you have these large sized
activation venues and if you put one in every major
city in the US, Netflix is actually encircling like a
Disneyland saying we don't have to worry about people spending
(05:23):
you know, their life saving to come in for one
experience with you all. Well, we have these things every city, everywhere.
It's easy for us to put them up, change them around,
and keep getting traffic in. So that's how Netflix as
a streaming platform is like, yeah, we can, we can
get on on Disneylands level if we space out what
(05:44):
we do.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Yeah, And I guess the truest sentiment is when other
streamers like a Disney Plus might start doing something similar
where you have these themed I don't want to call
it attraction, but event places where you can feature your
own intellectual property and have people kind of participate in it. Yeah,
(06:05):
I can see it. I can see it. It makes
great sense. And Netflix is again out in front of everyone.
It's one of the reasons why it dominates streaming. And
we have another story about streaming later on how streaming
has eclipsed broadcast and cable combined as far as viewership.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
So yeah, this is the future.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
And if Netflix continues to be at the forefront of
everything which is televised entertainment, then they will continue to win.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Yeah, and Netflix, much to Mark Chagrin is invested as
lead in AI production and development, so there are working
on being able to churn out high quality shows for
less money by cutting out a lot of the back
end work with AI.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
I know, Mark, I know you hate to hear it,
but I'm saying that's you can antagonize me all you want.
It's not going to make it anything other than garbage. Okay,
I'm just saying nobody wants AI. Nobody, that's not true. Actually,
the people who stand a profit from it, that's it.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
There's somebody, and unfortunately those somebody buddies often are the
decision makers and have the future and fate of people's
livelihoods in their hands.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
It's going to get rejected.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
The people who watch, read, and listen to things don't
want any part of that.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Which, No, that's wish casting.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
You're making a qualitative judgment on the value of what
AI can produce, But the quantitative judgment as far as
how much money it can save businesses means that there
will always be a market and desire for AI.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Well, it's not wish casting. It's observation and critical thinking which.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Leads to them. You know you're saying when you say
nobody wants this.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
If nobody wanted it, it would not be it would
not be integrated, integrated in our lives all already.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
If people wanted it, they wouldn't have to try so
hard to force it on us. And that's exactly what
they're doing. It's on your phone right now. I don't
want it, and I'm not buying the new phone that's
got that's got AI on it.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Oh so in others, you're never going to buy a
new phone.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
Put it off by your phone. Your phone won't work. Yeah,
you just won't have a phone. You could just be
like a cave man. I just write as impressed as
I am with this. It's going to happen, so you
might as well lie back and enjoy it. Philosophy of yours.
I will never Bobby will never buy that. I'm not
Bobby Knight. I'm not saying just laid back Bobby Knight.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
No, I am telling you that, because something is inevitable,
to at least wrap your mind around it and see
how it could best suit you in your life. In
other words, it's almost like worry about death. It's inevitable,
all right. It is inevitable. Now I can make a
choice about the quality of life that I'm going to
live between now and then.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
I mean, no one likes to think about it.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
And you know, we can try to say I'm not
going to live my life in fear, but the bottom
line is going to come for all of us at
one point.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Death is inevitable. AI is not.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
The only thing AI has in common with death is
that it represents the death of creativity and human consumers.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
But not all business is predicated on creativity.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
It's gonna get rejected, widespread, and you can push it
on people all you want, people want.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
I sent you last night a very funny new vlog,
the Stormtrooper vlog, and that's all AI. I've sent it
to you because I wanted you to see how someone
is creatively using AI to put together these hilarious Stormtrooper vlogs.
And it is high comedy and it's high production value,
(09:45):
and it's all AI. There's like, like, really no people
in these, it's just AI.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
People are shunning anyone who tries to well, just for
one example, the whole comics industry, if they suspect that
you've used AI to put out a comic, absolutely called
out and shun Mark, the comic industry is dying, dying.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
I'm glad you said it. It's just one example. I'm
telling you it's a bad example. It's a bad example.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
The comic industry is not a good example to to
rest your case on in the industry that's dying, in
the industry where comic shops by and large are dying,
where the largest distributor of comic books has done what Marked,
They went bankrupt.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Yes, and AI is not going to help them any.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
It would if it cuts back on the cost of
production and getting things out on time and all of that,
it absolutely would ail.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Right now, history speak for everybody.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
I don't know, Mark, it sounds like it's the people.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Let's talk about it from a music standpoint. Nobody wants
that he just came from the from the music industry.
I mean not just CAP, but we did come from
the music industry. That's like saying, no one wants to
listen to AI music.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Yes they do.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
The whole time when they had that Drake sounding song
with the Weekend whatever, people will eat that up. They
don't care. It's not about high quality. You think anyone
listens to the radio talking about Well, that's not high quality. No,
people have eaten tide pods too. That doesn't make it good.
It's not quality stuff.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
No, Mark, you're you're you're Jestables are two things that
don't They don't have that.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Right, Okay, ai is the tide pod of art.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Go ahead and need it if you want. I don't want.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
But evidently there was a market out there because there
are thousands of kids who are eating tide pods, even
though it wasn't necessarily the best choice to make.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
Mmmmm tide pods. Mark, I don't know. I don't know Mark. No,
I know about Mark. Wrong with them? Looks at what
you two swine are defending.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
Look at it?
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Why, Stefan just we're not going to have a nooserip.
We're just going to keep on rolling to the next eddit.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
You don't have to, we don't need, we don't need
to listen to Mark for another fifteen minutes.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
We're well into news time right now, and I'm in command.
Go to news, Stefans. Why no, no, no, no, no, don't
listen to him, come back, come back, Do not listen
to him.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
We have to do the news. We do, yes, No,
I have to toss to you for you to do the name.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
We'll start tossing you tosser, Hi, can't I am six
forty It's Later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Can't I. It's a letter with mo Kelly.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
We're live everywhere the iHeartRadio app and on YouTube. The
chat is hot on YouTube in Motown. The mo migos
are going at it. Let me give you something else
to argue about. Disneyland is bringing right along videos directly
to subscribers on Disney Plus starting next month. There are
(13:03):
sixteen immersive point of view experiences, including Pirates of the Caribbean, Indiana,
Jones Adventure, Hollywood Land, Haunted Mansion, and others, which will
premiere on Disney Plus on July seventeenth in honor of
Disneyland's seventieth anniversary. Nick polio'chini will probably have some thoughts
on that. He'll walk us through it.
Speaker 7 (13:22):
I was gonna say, if you want to just save
some time, come on this week with Nick on Instagram
and you can see those ride alongs already, so.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Give us some insight as far as how they're being received,
what you experience.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Come with it. I think it's been great.
Speaker 7 (13:35):
Now this is one of those things that Disney and
I just literally posted an event that I'll be talking
about next hour that I attended last night. But Disney
has always been very, very secretive of not wanting people
to share all of these things because they really want
you to go to the park. And I think something
that I have been a supporter of and a lot
of people have been, but are specially Disney's finally jumping
(13:56):
on the bandwagon with it. Disneyland is not a place
that everyone can visit, so to be able to get
that first hand experience and knowledge, and I think not
too after Mark being so sassy last break, but he
did bring up the right point that Disney in and
of itself is one of those organizations that does things
that benefit it, but it's something that's just available for
(14:20):
and I was trying to I lost my train of
thought when Mark he had said something specifically regarding this
that you know you'll be able to get in there,
and oh that was the little kid in the the
the laundry basket.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
I've seen that forever.
Speaker 7 (14:33):
In fact, the funniest thing is I've done it with
my nieces and That's why I say you can go
to this weekend with Nick or Nick Polio o'china on Instagram.
You can literally see my two youngest nieces in a
laundry basket and doing exactly the same thing.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
So I think it's funny.
Speaker 7 (14:44):
And in the world of Peloton and all these different
applications that are health based, I think it's a really
great option because you could walk through Disneyland. It could
be something that you could move toward getting your rings
closed if you're an iOS user or you know, if
you're tracking your health.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
So I think it's a great thing.
Speaker 7 (15:01):
I just think that Disney, who always does absolutely incredible things,
really really sometimes waits a little too long. And I'm
glad that it's coming for the seventieth on July seventeenth,
But still, this is something that you know, myself and
other people who are in the media and or content
creators or influencers have been doing for a good period
of time.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
These POV walkthroughs that you mentioned coming to Disney plus
parts of the Caribb and Indiana Jones Radiator Springs and
Credit Coaster, Haunted Mansion, Tiana's Bayou Adventure cars Land, Pixar
pal around Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Jungle Cruise, swored around
the world, and on and on and on.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
I wonder, though, does it take some of the magic away?
Speaker 7 (15:45):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (15:45):
For sure, I think that's always going to be the situation.
Speaker 7 (15:48):
But it's just like even so last night and not
you know, I'll talk more about it, but I went
to one of the special Disney Light after our Dark
events last night. I will be there again tomorrow night.
But I filmed one of the parades. And while the
parades and the entertainment offerings at Disney are those specific
things that people seek it out for, it doesn't matter
how good it looks on film, it looks five times
(16:09):
better in person. So whether I like it as a preview,
so I think it's something that at Walt Disney Travel
should have been doing for years, is sending these POV
videos to be like can you wait? You can't wait
to be on Jungle Cruise. As you're seeing right now.
If you're following mister Mokelly on YouTube, you can see
exactly what it's like to be on the backside of water.
I mean, as silly as that sounds, so it's very
(16:29):
specific to being able to really connect and have a thing.
So for me, I think it's a great advertising opportunity
that has been missed for decades by not sharing some
of this stuff out. I understand if you don't want
to show start to finish. I totally get that. But also,
in person will always be better, no matter what the
situation is, and you can speak to that having gone
to theater, having gone to film, having gone any Always
(16:50):
in person is always going to be the optimal and
the best way to do it. But it's a great
tease to be able to see this and be like,
oh wow, I can't wait to be on Pirates of
the Caribbean.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
I have.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
I wouldn't call it a more big curiosity, but I
do have some curiosity to see some of these rides
that maybe only went on it once, or maybe I
want to explain to someone else, or maybe I just
want to give relatives who are in town just a
sampling of what the experience of Disney is like.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Because to your point, it's not.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
It's sometimes cost prohibitive, sure, and it's time prohibitive. I
remember I went two years ago and I said, I
can't do all this in one day.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
It's not possible.
Speaker 7 (17:27):
Exactly and the thing too is even though they have
multi pass which used to be called by lanes and
then they used to be called fast passes at one
point in time, even with that, you're not going to
be able to get it through. And there's a handful
of influencers and a handful of content creators who specifically
have documented the number of days. I want to say
it's at least a day and a half per park
to be able to get through absolutely everything. So it's
(17:50):
being able to go, Hey, I'm going to go to
Disney California Adventure, because I want to go to Avengers
Campus because I'm a huge fan of Marvel, But then
my kids want to go to Tonetown over at Disneyland.
So now we're going to at what at least three
days that you're going to need to be able to
get through, and you're just talking about one land in
each of those one lands, yes, so it's a whole
different ballgame where you're trying to figure this out. So
I think this is great and also a lot of
(18:10):
times you can be able to check it out and
be like that looks really cool.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
But you know what, I don't need to put the
time in for it right.
Speaker 7 (18:17):
So you know, you got that tease, you got all
the incentive, but now you've actually honed to where you
want to go and how you want to approach it.
So I think it's a great opportunity. I think it's
something again that's been missed for far too long.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
All Right, Nick, we don't need you at nine o'clock.
You've already done your whole stuff, so you can go.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Very night.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I see you next time. It's Later with mont Kelly,
can't buy AM six forty. We're alive everywhere in the
iHeartRadio app. And when we come back, we have hit
a momentous moment here. Streaming has overtaken cable and broadcast
news excuse me, broadcast television for the very first time.
And we'll give you some of the statistics when we
come back.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
It's Lated with mo Kelly live everywhere the iHeartRadio app
and YouTube. And you may not remember, but very early
in my tenure here ONFI, it was around the time
in which I started the Mo Kelly Show, which was
twenty twelve, I had talked about cutting the cord and
at the time, people are like, what, you're not watching
(19:28):
broadcast TV, You're not watching cable TV. It actually put
up a blog post about the steps about getting a
digital antennacy.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
You can get your local channels all that. I was
an early adopter.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Usually I'm late to things, but when it came to
cutting the cord, I was an early adopter and it
changed my life. The only thing which would have helped
me cut the cord earlier would have been being able
to find a way to watch.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
My sports on TV.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Live sports, because back in the early days, there wasn't
a way to watch live sports other than like going
to a bar or something. The licensing agreements were not
in place. And then Sling TV came along and they
had ESPN and Fox Sports and different packages, and I said,
oh I'm done. I got rid of DirecTV and never
(20:17):
looked back. And I have been a big proponent of streaming.
I can have my TV anywhere, you know, if I
have something that's DVR or I have all my apps.
I can watch on my phone, I can watch on
my tablet, I can watch a laptop. I can cast
from my phone to a screen in my house. It's
it is absolutely wonderful if you haven't already made the
(20:39):
switch now. For the first time, streaming viewership has overtaken
both cable and broadcast television. Streaming platforms accounted for forty
four zero point eight percent of all viewership in the
month of May. This is according to Nielsen, so it
(21:00):
must be true compared to twenty four point one percent
of viewers who watch cable and twenty point one percent
who watch broadcast television.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Don't get me wrong.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
I have a favorite broadcast television show like Chicago PD,
Law and Order, SUSVU, and I think that's about it
as far as broadcast television, mark, Are you watching anything
on broadcast television?
Speaker 5 (21:26):
You know now that you bring this up, There's not
a single broadcast show that I tune into every week.
I can't think of a single one, and I don't
even watch it every week.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
I just sort of like let my DVR just to
crew a bunch of episodes and then I'll sit home
on a given Sunday and watch them all binge am all.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
The only thing that I watch with any regularity is
just all the news that I can possibly hoover up,
and that doesn't really count.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
The whole idea of appointment watching simply does not exist anymore.
I can't tell you what night Chicago PD comes on.
I think it's maybe Wednesday, maybe Thursday.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
Yeah, it's prehistoric to imagine the time when we were
kids or our parents were in their prime, they had
to stay home to catch a show they want wanted,
and if they missed it, they were never going to
see it again, depending.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
On how old you are or are not.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
There were these things called reruns, and you would if
you missed your episode of whatever. And these were back
when TV seasons had maybe twenty two episodes. Imagine that,
twenty two episodes, and if you missed it, you'd have
to wait for months for it to come back around
and you might be able to see it.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
But the problem was you wouldn't know.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
I mean, you had the TV Guide, which is a
magazine of what was coming on that week, but you
couldn't go on IMDb or look some other website and
find out when an episode was going to air.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
You just didn't know.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
The TV Guide was the top selling magazine in the
United States, and people would get their TV Guides in
the mail and go through them and circle what they planned.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Yes, it was adorable.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
My father's mother, grandmother would buy her TV guide, also
got a reader's digest and we mark them up as
far as what we wanted to watch.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
And this was pre VCR. What's a VCR.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
This is what we did in the analog days to
record television shows, so if you missed it, you just
missed it and you were just sol And then as
technology got better, we had the VCR, the video cassette recorder,
and we could start recording some of our shows, but
we still didn't have the autonomy to record anything and
(23:33):
everything because you just didn't know what was going to
be the subject of an episode, and if you missed it,
you have to catch it on a rerun, which was
very hit and miss. And then cable came along and
was a little better, but not like streaming where you
could find any episode anytime you want. You missed it,
So what you can find it you can go on
Hulu and get the back episodes, and go on Disney
(23:55):
Plus and get the back episodes. I don't think kids
now know how good they really have it. As far
as the television what was called television that experience, I
don't know if they even have televisions anymore. They just
have laptops and you know, and their phones. I don't
know how they watch TV on their phone. I got
to cast it. My eyes are not good enough anymore. No,
(24:16):
we're so spoiled now you can get anything. Nothing disappears,
well almost nothing. But in the old days, the hunt
was half of seeing a show.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
It was, and even before they had VCRs.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
I remember when I was getting my tonsils out, true story,
I was five years old and to wala's going to
laugh at this because this is a real show. Did
you ever see the movie Coming to America? And there's
a character on it called named Randy Watson, And one
of the famous lines from Coming to America when they
introduced him, he sings the greatest Love of All and
(24:50):
he's introduces you know, he's Officer so and so from
the What's Going Down episode of That's My Mama. Most
people don't know that That's My Mama was a real
TV show in the early nineteen seventies. I say that
to say when I was in the hospital and I
was getting my tonsils out, it was at Overnight's Day.
(25:10):
I asked my sister to tape one of the TV
shows that I'd like to watch. It was that's my mama.
But back then, all you could get was an audio recording.
So she took an old style tape recorder, you know,
you push the buttons down and it was it was
you didn't even.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Plug it in.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
You were recording the ambient noise of the TV. So
the recording quality was absolutely horrible.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
I did the same thing when I was a kid.
I read TV shows and that was the only way
you could record a TV show. And if it's a
TV show that you.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Were familiar with, it didn't matter because you know the voice,
you know the character, You could in your mind make
the facial expression.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
So it was good enough.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
Not only that, people don't seem to remember what a
Sophie's choice it was back in those days, because there
were three networks and PBS, and if you wanted to
watch two shows and they were on at the same time,
you had to pick one and that would choose and
that was it. I'm sort of addicted to these collections
that are on YouTube about shows from certain you know,
each year in the past, and there's shows on there
(26:12):
I've never heard of. Because once you made your commitment,
like I said, you didn't see the other ones, and
some of these things I've never heard of. So you know,
pick a year, early sixties, seventies, eighties. These things are
fascinating to me.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
You had ABC, NBC, CBS, that was it, and yes
you had PBS, which was channel twenty eight, but there
wasn't programming content per se on channel nine, k COW.
There wasn't programming content on KCOP, channel thirteen or channel eleven.
There may have been some cartoons earlier the day, but
they didn't have evening content for the most part.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
I remember LA had a pretty cool set of UHF
channels during the brief time I lived here as a
young kid, and they would show like the same cult
movie five nights a week, so like the Giant Robot
Johnny Socom movie or what it was twenty eight and
fifty Okay, okay, but ioce, I remember watching that all
Like Kimba the White Lion was on there. Yes, you
(27:07):
get your evening cartoons. It was Kimba the White Lion.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
And there was something else I would watch as well,
but it was at night.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Yeah, and maybe it was speed Racer, but it was
kim of the White Lion. Definitely but there wasn't a
lot of programming, and TV went off at like maybe
nine o'clock, and then you'd have the Late Show or
Johnny Carson, but then it went off. I think we're
around maybe midnight, and you get the bars until six am.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Yes, the bars and the do you know where your
children are? Signed?
Speaker 5 (27:35):
And all that stuff that does not exist anymore except
on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Yeah, and they played the national anthem. I think it
was around five thirty six o'clock. I'm not exactly sure.
Speaker 6 (27:43):
Welcome new Oscar's Bomber Shop, named after my daddy who
passed it on to meet.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
It's been a part of Washington, DC a long time.
This is me, Clifton Curtis, my own boss, is loving
every vended of them. And this is my little sister
Tracy and her husband Leonard.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
This is my best friend, Happy Go Luckier, and this
wonderful person.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Man. That's my mama.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
And that's the voice of Clifton Davis, the star of
That's my mama, who's been a guest on this show.
When he was starring in Wicked at the second Strom Theater,
he came on the show. So talk about things going
full circle. That's my Mama.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
I think it was. I don't know, maybe nineteen. They
were thirty nine episodes. Seventies. Oh yeah it was.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
It premiered September fourth of nineteen seventy four. Yeah, and
I got my tonsils out in seventy five. If I'm
not mistaken, I was five years old. That's pretty cool though.
You got him on the show.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Yeah, I mean full circle moment. Yeah, that's a real
voice from our childhood. Yeah, so that's my mama. Was
a real TV show.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
So when you watch Coming to America, it's an inside
inside joke.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
You know, it's a real thing.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
It's later with Mokelly can' if I am Since forty five,
everyone in the iHeartRadio app. We have a tom Cruise
for Oscar update. He's gonna get his Oscar thanks to
this show.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Who not remembers to thank you?
Speaker 2 (29:11):
I have a feeling he won't, but deep down inside
he knows the truth.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
He must be in league with Eddie Murphy.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Such a hater. Such a hater. And when Eddie Murphy
comes on this show, I'm gonna make him address you
and make a joke about you and talk about you
or something immortalized you in a very negative way.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Now should I hold my breath waiting for this?
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Look, We've waited some twelve years for Eddie on this show,
So okay, so what's another three months?
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Okay? I got you.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Kelly six.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Tom Cruise and others
they're going to get their Oscar, going to be honorary ones,
but they're gonna get their Oscars. The Academy of Motion
Picture Arts and Sciences, the organization behind the oscars, said
today that Tom Cruise, Debbie Allen, and Win Thomas, among others,
(30:21):
will receive honorary Oscars at the twenty twenty five Governor's Awards.
In addition, Dolly Parton will receive the Academy's Jean Herschelt
Humanitarian Award. And I probably mispronounced that the Oscar statuettes
will be presented in a ceremony for the sixteenth annual
Governor's Awards on November sixteenth at the Ray Doby Ballroom
(30:44):
at Ovation Hollywood.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
Quote this Governor's.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
This year's Governor's Awards will celebrate four legendary individuals. Whose
extraordinary careers and commitment to our filmmaking community continue to
leave a lasting impact. Academy President Janet Yang in the
release today. And I say this because some people thought
I was tongue in cheek as it related to Tom
Cruise getting an Oscar for his stunt work along with
(31:13):
his acting. I was being one hundred percent serious. I
was not joking at all. I think that if you
are able to act while doing those stunts, and you're
not doing cutaways, you're doing facial expressions, you're delivering dialogue.
My belief is that is part of the acting performance
and he should receive due consideration for Best Actor. If
(31:35):
you're just judging Tom Cruise on the strength of his
delivering lines or playing Ethan Hunt the character from only
what you hear, then I think you are selling him short.
And that's why we started this hashtag Oscar for Tom Cruise,
or as twallaw was say, hashtag Tom Cruise for Oscar,
(31:58):
whatever it is, either or, but we want to get
Tom Cruise an actual Oscar for his acting talent, which
I think is inclusive of his stunts. I'm not talking
about getting him an Oscar for his stunts. I'm not
talking about like a Stuntman Award. I'm not talking about that.
I'm talking about one of the top four categories for
(32:18):
his work. Because there are plenty of people who can
play a secret agent. We can talk about Matt Damon,
we can talk about Keanu Reeves, any number of them
over the years is just elba a Daniel Craig, but
they're not doing all the things that we see on
screen which are attributed to that character. Who has more
(32:41):
of an undertaking Tom Cruise or Matt Damon, No disrespect
to Matt Damon, Tom Cruise or Daniel Craig.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
When we get to see Tom Cruise.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Doing all the jumping out of the plane and running
down the side of a building, how can that be
excluded from Tom Cruise's performance?
Speaker 3 (33:02):
Be it absolutely serious? He deserves consideration for an acting oscar.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
Especially when you consider that it's not just the action
that he is giving us. He's not just living out
every scene and not just cutting away. What Tom Cruise
is doing is he's staying in character while doing it.
While we are seeing his face, we are seeing the stress,
we are feeling everything he's going through. That is why
(33:29):
his films are so believable in all films, in top
Gun everything, it's just like, man, that's that dude in
that cockpit. That makes the performance that much better. It
makes us get deeper and deeper and deeper into what
we're watching. It's not the same with other actors when
you know it is a stunt performer. It's Tom Cruise
(33:51):
actually takes us beyond the veil of believability and things
like that. I think that alone is worth him getting
an Oscar now, and I believe wholeheartedly. I mean, you know,
Oscar Committee, You're welcome to join the migos and join
the motown and leave a comment and tell us we're wrong.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
But I believe they always tell us we're wrong.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
I believe that it's this show that got him in consideration,
because's a lot of people that deserve an honorary Oscar.
But right now, Tom Cruise, Yeah, that is because of
the Oscar for Tom, Tom for Oscar campaign.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
And when he gets his statuette for like best Actor,
I think I think he will be mad enough to
come on this show and give us our due credit
because I think he's a stand up individual.
Speaker 5 (34:40):
He'll thank you on the stage right then and there
who knows. Who knows.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
I want to dedicate this a word to moke.
Speaker 5 (34:46):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
A month ago, no one thought we had a chance
in the world of getting Eddie Murphy on this show,
and we're one step closer.
Speaker 5 (34:52):
Yeah, it wasn't that instant rejection. That's right. So we're
still there. They're all going to acknowledge exactly what they
owe you.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
You are mocking me now, but one day, one day,
you're gonna have to bow down and acknowledge the power
and strength of positive thinking.
Speaker 5 (35:08):
You spend a lot of time fantasizing about me bowing down. Mo,
I'm gonna take that silence as a yes. You take
that signs forever you want to take it right, I'm
not following you.
Speaker 4 (35:20):
Look, all I'm saying is Tom Cruise is an honorable man.
Tom Cruise. We know he stays out here. My co
parent is actually party that.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
I believe it was Tom Cruise's house. Will Smith and
Jada were there. There's a whole thing. They were on
the dance word getting it in. Tom Cruise is a
