Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty KFI.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Mo Kelly Live on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and the iHeartRadio app.
And I have to start off with not really an argument,
a slight disagreement with Mark Ronner and the number one
movie this week, which is Weapons. It brought in seventy
one million dollars worldwide, forty three million domestically. And I

(00:29):
SAWT over the weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was
not a perfect movie. It was not, but I was
having a chat with some other people to all, I
think you were in on it as well. I like
movies which are creatively brave. As someone else put it,
that you're trying to tell different stories like a get out,
like a sinner's or like a memento if you want

(00:52):
to go back sometime. Telling movies sometimes in a non
linear way, and it's not something that you come away saying, oh,
I've seen that before.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
No, I've never seen this before.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Some plot points I didn't necessarily care for, but overall
I enjoyed it, maybe not to the nth degree as
Mark did, but I thought it was well worth the time.

Speaker 4 (01:13):
Mark I'm not sure what we would argue about, because
I think we more or less think the same about it.
I think I mentioned in my review Friday that I
reached a point in the movie where I had no
idea where it was going, and I wasn't quite impatient,
but I was thinking, this better payoff, and it really
really did. I mean by the end, did you shout
during the final act? No?

Speaker 2 (01:34):
No, No, It was a satisfying final act. And I
know it's a satisfying movie because it sat with me
and I was just thinking about it for like the
next hour or two afterward. I question some motives of characters.
I don't want to give away anything because it's a movie.
You need to go in cold. Yeah, don't read anything
about it before you go in. And if you see

(01:54):
anybody spoil anything on social media, scold them and threaten them.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
I'm not going to tell you what the title means.
I'm not going to tell you. Look, if you see
the trailer, that's enough. In fact, it might be too
much'll go into it blind. I didn't know that much,
and I was grateful for it because it's a ride.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
It takes you on a ride.

Speaker 4 (02:11):
What I will say without spoiling a thing for anybody,
is that it does switch gears and becomes kind of
a different movie and a different kind of movie in
the third act.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
But that's fine, that works for me. Oh, I do
have to mention this Julia Garner, who is a star.
She is an Oscar or two waiting to happen. She's
terrific in this movie.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
I don't know if this is going to be the
vehicle for that. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
She's found her you know her classic biopick where she
inhabits the persoda of someone else and gets that Oscar.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
But she is just great in everything I see her in.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
And you think about Julia Garner, who may be the
least well known of the major players in this movie.
When you got Josh Broland, Benedict Want, I was kidding
with friend, it's like basically a Marvel movie with the
people they have here, Alden, Aaron Wright.

Speaker 4 (03:02):
You know, it is a really distinctive looking I think
her Oscar role is going to be as stan Laurel.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
She's an unusual looking actress.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
No, no, no, she has a very you know, if
I were to make a comparison, she's like Adrian Brody
in that regard, She's not going to be regarded as
a quote unquote sex symbol, and there's nothing wrong with that,
but it doesn't Her looks do not get in the
way or distract from her acting, and she can inhabit
so many types of characters because it doesn't seem out

(03:36):
of place. Let's say, hypothetically, you have a Halle Berry
or Emma Thompson or or someone who is known for
their beauty, and you you get distracted by that and
you don't necessarily have the same level of appreciation for
the acting performance.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
She is not unattractive, not at all.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
I'm just saying she's very distinct in her look and
it's not classic beauty.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
That's someone way I can describe it. Is this a
horror film, though it's.

Speaker 4 (04:04):
Kind of a mystery horror, and the horror ramps up
by the end.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Like I said, with get Out and Sinners, you go
in not clear what the movie is about, and then
all of a sudden you realize, oh, it's something really different.
That was the case with Sinners, that was the case
we get Out, And that's why I would like it
to This is where you part of the appeal of
the movie. It is a mystery, and certain things are

(04:28):
happening and you don't know why they're happening, and you
with the rest of the audience who're just going along
for this ride and their revelations and they're mcguffins along
the way, and all of a sudden you realize what's
going on. I think they could have better explained some
of the motivations for why the things were going on.
We could argue about that after you've seen it. But

(04:50):
I enjoyed it. I really did.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
I like creative bravery in filmmaking.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
Now, just one other note about this. The director, I
think his name is Zach Craiger. He's directing the next
Is it an evil movie?

Speaker 3 (05:00):
Yeah? I saw that.

Speaker 4 (05:01):
If you were burned out on those or you thought
the Milli Joviovich resident evil movies were garbage, this is
exciting that I saw and I said, Wow, that's going
to take that franchise back in the right direction. Are
they rebooting it and starting over or what they're not
basing it on like the character Leon from The Games?
Because he said that story has already been told, So

(05:22):
I am excited to see what he comes up with.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
This is going to be worth seeing.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Okay, I'd be willing to revisit that franchise, you know,
because I like Milian Jovovich as an actress.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
I didn't like her in that. Well, this guy has
turned out.

Speaker 4 (05:35):
I don't know if you saw his previous movie, Barbarian,
which was very decent, respectable. I didn't love it like
some people who were horror fans are saying they did,
but I thought it was well worth a watch. This
guy's going to be somebody to watch for a long time.
Coming in number two this week is freakier. Friday didn't
have any desire to see it.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
It brought in forty three million worldwide. I'm quite sure
it will make its money back. But yeah, I mean
I'm not the audience.

Speaker 5 (06:02):
Both of them right now, both.

Speaker 3 (06:07):
Both the actresses.

Speaker 4 (06:08):
You know, that Jamie Lee Curtis and that other one,
the young one, Yeah, the one that was in the
original Yeah, the one who we got to have a
little problems and everything.

Speaker 5 (06:16):
Yeah, she was the one we thought was bound for prison,
lind Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, but now but now.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
She's all right. Yeah, so she's good.

Speaker 5 (06:23):
And people like them, people like them, and and Lohan
has turned it around.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
I think that.

Speaker 5 (06:28):
I think Cobra Kai really really helped kick her back
off in the right direction.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
She was on Cobra she was in Cobra Kai. Remember
she was one of the judges. I don't remember that.
Oh yeah, I didn't didn't even notice.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
Uh, fantastic. Four first Steps came in third. It is
slowing down in its momentum. It brought in some fifteen
million dollars gross this week. Is his total tally is
four hundred and thirty five million. It's going to struggle
to get a half a billion. But you can argue
you it's Reese booting a franchise and it's in I'll

(07:06):
say it's in the same wheelhouse as Captain America, Bravey
World and Thunderbolts is performing on the same level.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
Is it disappointing to Marvel?

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yes, if you judge it against previous Marvel success. You
know a movie which underperformed with Marvel six years ago
was like not making a billion. It only made eight
hundred million, like a Doctor Strange movie, it only made
eight hundred million. Now it's like it only made four
hundred and forty five million. What are you attributing this
to when you say stuff like that?

Speaker 5 (07:35):
And I get I know your argument is business is businesses,
but no, it's like, right now, the entire movie landscape,
everything right now, with the exception of two outliers, right
now are only hitting this mark. There is nothing right
now in all of movie doom that's doing it for
any theater, Okay, I mean for any company.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
All I'm saying is yes, And I'm going to go
back to the numbers, because usually with Marvel movies, they
were being successful in multipliers.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
The movie may have cost two.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Hundred million, maybe one hundred million in marketing and promotion,
and it would bring in six hundred seven hundred million
in least so it was a multiple of two in
which they were making money. Now they're just breaking evening
even and creeping into profitability because they're still spending the
same amount of money on these movies and they're not
losing money and people still.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
Have interested the MCU.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
I think part of it is because they have not
come with the they'll never be able to duplicate the
magic of Marvel. Phase three and four, you had a
lot of major movie stars, good movies, and a building
excitement to what turned in to be Avengers Infinity War.

(08:48):
These movies are not working the same way because we
talked about I think it was Marvel Phase five, which
really didn't connect to anything.

Speaker 4 (08:54):
No, you're onto something with that. I think that movies
like Quantum Mania and thor Love and Thunder which were terrible,
and maybe even Shang Chi which wasn't terrible but not
that much good either. Eternals. The Eternals was just a snoozefest.
I think a lot of people didn't get over those
and they that did some damage to the brand and.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
It takes a while for people to come back.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
They look it's just like in the music industry, you're
only one hit away from returning to the top.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
They just have not had that one hit yet.

Speaker 5 (09:23):
Well, I think all these movies that they've kicked off
this phase with, I mean Captain America, Brave New World.
It's not only not Chris Evans, Steve Rogers, it's an
entirely different Captain America, Black Captain America. And it's like
the fifth bite at the apple of Captain America. When
you look at Thunderbolts, unless you saw all of these

(09:45):
movies and Disney Plus series, you don't know who these
people are.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
Well, that's being a victim of your own success.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
Yeah, because we always get asked by people work here,
what do I need to see before I see this?
What do I need to see before seeing that? And
I try to tell them, you need to see everything. Honestly,
I don't have the hearty, I don't have the heart
to tell them that. But I said, oh, you can
just see you know, Black Widowed. You'll be fine for Thunderbolts.
So you get in a July DA you won't be
able to enjoy it like I do. And actually, and
actually they won't. They have to see Black Widow. They

(10:12):
have to go I know, yeah, but you know. And
then Fantastic with a Soldiers, Fantastic four.

Speaker 5 (10:17):
They've had a slew of Pooh Pooh films before this one.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
The people are kind of like, nah, let's continue this.
On the other side.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
Its Later with Mokelly Kim six forty left everywhere in
I Heart radiop.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
KAFI mister mo Kelly Live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app
Let me just go back to the top ten movies
this week, coming in at number four, and this is
a perfect example, at least to me, of why some
people get disenchanted with movies just being lazy. I didn't
see The Bad Guys one. I don't know if there

(11:11):
was any real desire for them to make a Bad
Guys too. And it's performing mediocre, probably underperforming. It's in
a second week and it grows to the total of
eighty four million. But for an animated property, those are
the ones who should do very well in the summer,
especially during the summer. Yeah, yeah, was anyone asking for it?

Speaker 6 (11:31):
No?

Speaker 2 (11:31):
But they have the IP, so why not just make
another one? Yeah? Number five this week mark the Naked Gun.
You should be happy to know that it's made a
whole fifty six million dollars.

Speaker 3 (11:44):
My god, I hope they don't make another one of those.
They probably will, Unfortunately.

Speaker 4 (11:48):
I had read something quoting Liam Neeson saying he thought
it was a one and done, but you never know.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
I'm trying to find Oh, the budget was forty two million,
let's say it was twenty five thirty million marketing promotion.
It still has not made its money back yet.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
What's weird to.

Speaker 4 (12:08):
Me is seeing people come out of it saying that
they laughed their heads off because I didn't laugh once.
It's such a roar shock. Humor is so subjective. I
thought this was objectively stupid, but it got a high
rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
Well, there are a lot of movies which do well
among critics which it doesn't transfer to actual audiences.

Speaker 4 (12:28):
Sometimes they're you know, critics can be out of touch.
I mean, I've got a friend who's an editor at Variety,
and I get no shortage of mileage out of teasing
her about how out of touch hacks their their critics are.
But this one is really puzzling because I kind of
want you to see it, MO, just to confirm that
I'm not nuts. I thought it was just shockingly unfunny.

(12:50):
I don't need to see a moving to know that
you're crazy. Mark, Well, you agreed with me on weapons.
You have you agreed with me on weapons?

Speaker 3 (12:58):
Stop you stop, just so I won't even ask.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Coming in number six this week is Superman, and I
know Twala loved it.

Speaker 3 (13:11):
I think Mark somewhat loved it. Oh yeah, I did.
It was really good.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
Gotta have an honest conversation because the money doesn't matter.
It's gross worldwide five hundred and seventy nine million. It's
gonna fall short of Man of Steel.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
It just is, no.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
Matter how much you love it, how much supposedly the
executives that Warner Brothers love it.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
It's not the monetary return that they were hoping for.
A big picture. We're gonna get more of that.

Speaker 4 (13:36):
We're gonna get more of David corn Sweat as Superman,
and I hope they really put into good use.

Speaker 3 (13:41):
They've already green lit the sequel so well. Of course
they've committed to James Gunn.

Speaker 4 (13:47):
Well, they've got to crank these things out faster, because
I know that gun is working on the super Girl movie.
Sooner than that. I think that's next year, if I'm
not mistaken.

Speaker 5 (13:55):
That one is pretty much already are almost rapped, Like
they last reported that they're almost done with it.

Speaker 4 (14:03):
And there's a clay Faced movie that absolutely nobody was
asking for. Yeah, I don't want that. Get to work
on another Superman movie. It's like they dragged out the
Bond movies un till there was four or five years
between them, the Batman movies, another one like that.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
Just get down to business. Come on, I think that
the Batman two is twenty twenty seven.

Speaker 5 (14:22):
Yeah, that's ridiculous, way too much time between No one
cares about the Batman.

Speaker 3 (14:25):
No one cared about Batman.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
I'm with you, but still, you know, you still have
to cultivate the audience. And if you want us to
invest in these characters and the actors who are playing
the characters, and the movies and the franchises they represent,
you have to give them to us a little quicker.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
Five years is way too long.

Speaker 4 (14:44):
Remember, well not remember, but no, back in the sixties
there was like a year maybe between huge James Bond movies,
like like a year or two years max between Goldfinger
and Thunderbolt, and there were no bigger movies in the world.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
We can do that and only three in between the
Star Wars movies seventy seven, eighty and eighty three.

Speaker 5 (15:04):
Well, I mean with the Superman film. They dropped this one.
They're doing Supergirl next year, and they're also doing Supergirl
and Clayface come out next year. They have also two series.
They have Peacemaker season two and they have the Green
Lantern series, which features a lot of folks from So

(15:24):
with James Gunn he's a little tighter when it comes
to universe building. He's not going to leave us without
seeing a lot of these characters in between, and then
the Batman film, the one that he's doing, comes out
twenty twenty seven. So it's kind of like, you know,
we're getting some stuff. I mean, it's not that far.

Speaker 3 (15:44):
I just don't agree with.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
That, that mentality giving us some stuff. I want to
see the main characters on the big screen. Yes, nice,
if we get corn sweat and you know, doing a
cameo in Peacemaker season two or something. But as far
is moving the larger story forward, give me the big stuff,
you know, give me the meal.

Speaker 3 (16:04):
I don't. I don't need garnish on the plate. That's
just me. Okay, you're crazy.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
I know everyone wants the garnos, but I'm not as
much as crazy as as Mark though their levels to this.

Speaker 3 (16:15):
He's psychotic. I'm just mentally disturbed. Thank you, Thank you
for that. Diane Thomas.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
Here when we come back, I am six forty Live
Everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.

Speaker 4 (16:30):
Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls Dying Times Here.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
Mister Kelly Live Everywhere in the iHeartRadio, app and social media.

Speaker 3 (16:45):
Let me tell you about two people.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
Marcone da Theova Cardoso and Adriana my Shado Ribero. They
were in Brazil back on Monday, August fourth. They were
parked near a scenic overlook. Now, Marcone he was twenty
six in Andriana she was forty two. So I'm not into,

(17:13):
you know, no judgment as far as May December romance
or age gap relationships. I'm just saying, after a certain age,
you probably should be.

Speaker 3 (17:23):
Beyond having sex in a car. I'm thinking, I don't.

Speaker 5 (17:27):
Know, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (17:29):
Uh, there's a mystique, some magic to it.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
The last time I had sex in a car, I
think I was twenty one twenty and it was only
because I didn't have my own place. You would think
if one of the two is forty two years old,
they would have a place to go, or would be
able to afford a hotel.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
No.

Speaker 5 (17:52):
See, look, okay, look it's not always about the place
to go or the hotel.

Speaker 3 (17:58):
Look.

Speaker 5 (17:59):
I remember the grun Run. I think I was twenty two.
We watched the Grunions run and you know, it got
a little wet because the water was out there.

Speaker 3 (18:08):
You know, splashing a little bit. She had to.

Speaker 5 (18:10):
Change, and I said, well, hey, hey, hey, hey, slow
down before you put those clothes.

Speaker 3 (18:15):
But but neither of you was forty two.

Speaker 5 (18:20):
No, no, no, but but but but if I was
in my twenties, yes, and I had some fine old
cougar like, let's go up to lookout point.

Speaker 3 (18:33):
I'm going to look out.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
The twenty six year old makes more sense than the
forty two year old.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
Now she's cheating on somebody. Well yeah, see run.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
So this twenty six year old and forty two year
old were in a car at the Scenic Overlook in Brazil.
They started having sex as the as the story goes,
and the car, I guess.

Speaker 3 (18:52):
Started moving forward.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
Maybe it slipped out of gear in neutral and it
started rolling forward and it fell through three hundred and
fifty feet off the cliff.

Speaker 3 (19:02):
No survivors. Unfortunately. Do you think he finished? I don't
think so.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
I don't think so, because that's why they didn't realize
the car was moving, because due to the sex, the
car was moving. Got you, and I've to assume he
was not at the finish line at that point. Yeah, so,
I mean, I look, people always lie and say, well,
if I have to die, that's what I want. No,
that means you didn't finish. That makes it worse. That

(19:28):
means you were interrupted in the worst way and the
worst way and the worst way. Nothing kills the move
like falling off a cliff.

Speaker 4 (19:34):
So I'm told now, Mark, no, no, the past.

Speaker 3 (19:44):
Plain no, move on to the next thing and leave
me out of it.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
He's very comfortable talking mess about other people and other people.
He has no he has no limits or barriers and compunction.

Speaker 3 (19:56):
It doesn't matter. He will he will talk about us
in all day long. All right.

Speaker 4 (20:00):
It was in nineteen seventy four, Grand Tourno, and that's
all I'm going to say.

Speaker 3 (20:03):
What that's amazing? Was it withstood?

Speaker 5 (20:06):
Never mind, grand dude, you had a grand to Reino,
and man do I am so jelly.

Speaker 4 (20:12):
There's the old Starsky and Hutch car, except it wasn't
that color. Nobody had that.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
But it had like the bitch back seat?

Speaker 4 (20:19):
Did it?

Speaker 3 (20:20):
Oh? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (20:20):
Those things were massive and they had massive engines in
them too.

Speaker 3 (20:24):
I'm sure it's just like a metaphor something.

Speaker 5 (20:26):
I'm sure they did massive vaccine, massive engine.

Speaker 4 (20:30):
Yeah, you could go from zero to sixty and a
very short amount of time. There you go, whatever that means.
There you go, Mark, bring it all out with that
grand to reno. That's all I'm saying. Statute of limitations
is over toning. Yes, you're not going to get out
of this conversation. Your last car escapade was whin.

Speaker 3 (20:52):
It's been a while. I would hope, so, I would hope.

Speaker 4 (20:55):
So, yeah, specify with someone else. Come ons though, jeep?
You know, oh yeah, at least no, there's no the jeep.
There's no room. No, that's a small back seat, that's
only front something.

Speaker 7 (21:12):
There's like, there's no top on it. You take the
top off. Well, yeah, the top was off. Way you
can stand up that way? Oh good one, if you
could wait what top was off? Grab the jeep top?

Speaker 2 (21:27):
Jeep top, grabbing the bar, but you do have something
to hold on to for leverage.

Speaker 3 (21:31):
Yeah, I'm not going to ask carnation by some people
here are exempt? What is this right? She's exempt? Exempt?
I am not asking a woman the last time she
had sex in a car.

Speaker 5 (21:46):
No, no, no, sirbot no carnation.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
I'm not even going to have a misunderstanding like that.
Who's laughing? Nope, I think she wants to talk about you.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
Asked her, You asked her, Say I Mark Ron, I
want to ask you, Carnesia.

Speaker 3 (22:02):
Hey, it's Later with Moe Kelly. Now later with me.

Speaker 3 (22:52):
George, how's your weekend? Not bad?

Speaker 2 (22:54):
Bo?

Speaker 3 (22:54):
How about George? Not bad?

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Little heavy, still dealing with the Stephan news and also
his revery.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
Oh that's right, that was very sad.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
Yeah, but he's he's on the men and hopefully if
you heard the problem with Tim Conway Jr. Will get
to hear his voice on the air tomorrow with him.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
Great, great, Well.

Speaker 6 (23:12):
We've got a great program tonight. We're going to talk
about the Supernatural, and then later on actor Thomas Jane
joined just to talk about UFOs on Coach.

Speaker 3 (23:20):
Whoa, WHOA, Wait a minute.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
Thomas Jane as like the Punisher, Thomas Jane.

Speaker 6 (23:26):
That one that's he loves UFOs and he wants to
talk about it on the show, So here he comes.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
I'm kind of jealous because I've always liked Thomas Jane
as an actor. You said I please do, Please do,
and I loved him on the expanse as well.

Speaker 6 (23:40):
He's been great. I loved them in that TV movie
sixty one.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
Oh that was good. When he was in Deep Blue C.
I mean, I've seen all of this work. But I
don't want to hold you, but I'll definitely be listening
because I want to hear some Thomas Jane.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
You got great get.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
And before we get out of here tonight, I did
want to remind people one last time since we were
talking about Stefan. You heard the promo from Tim Conway Jr.
I know they're working to see if they can get
Stephan on the line tomorrow from the hospital, but as
you've heard from my conversation with his mother, Barbara, who
joined us at the top of the show. It's touch

(24:19):
and go as far as his surgeries and the timing
of when he might be lucid during the day. So
all of that, I'm quite sure is trying to be
worked out behind the scenes. If you missed my conversation
with his mother, Barbara, I encourage you to check out
the podcast later on. Tualla is putting it together right
now where you can hear a mother's perspective about concern

(24:41):
for her child. You'll get to hear a nurse's perspective,
as Barbara is a nurse, as well as far as
what she saw when she first saw her son, Oh
and more importantly, what she did when she realized her
son was missing or they could not find him, the
steps that she took to track her own sundown. And
it was mind blowing to me because she was telling

(25:03):
the story of when she got to the hospital. She
was at the hospital for hours before she could even
see Stephan. So there was a lot of great information
and filling in the blanks of Stephan's story which is
still even now still being pieced together. If you heard
Tim Conway Junior Show earlier today, he talked to two

(25:24):
of the individuals responsible with saving Stephan's life. So there's
a lot of a good conversation. Hopefully it was uplifting.
If you heard it, it was very positive. It gave
me just a little bit of renewed faith in society,
not a lot, because we need more of these good samaritans,
these heroes, people who were willing to put themselves in

(25:46):
harm's way, which hopefully will be more of a regular
occurrence as opposed to an isolated incident. So very thankful
that Stephan is with us. And if you heard the
conversations with Tim Conway Jr. You know that without these
good samaritans, unfortunately, Stephan would have died a horrible death,
burned alive in his car if not for these good samaritans.

(26:11):
So check out those conversations on the Tim Conway Junior Show,
and you can also check out my conversation with Barbara,
Stephan's mother earlier and later with Moe Kelly, and also
be before we get out here, I want to say
something to Steph, who I know is out of his
third surgery, and there's a good chance that he's listening

(26:33):
right now or his mother's listening right now.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
We love you. Guys, we are pulling for you.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
Is one thing to pull for Stephan because he has
the physical trauma that he's dealing with, but let's not
forget his family also dealing with the emotional trauma and
the uncertainty of seeing a loved one who's obviously suffering,
has been through a lot and is going to be
going through so much more, and just be very, very transparent.

(27:01):
When Barbara was talking about walking in and seeing Stepan intubated,
if you have never had a family member intubated, it
will change you. To see a family member with a
breathing tube is not anything you can prepare for. It

(27:21):
doesn't matter if it's a parent, does not matter if
it's a grandparent, sibling.

Speaker 3 (27:26):
It is not something that you can prepare for. And
it is unnerve.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
It was unnerving to Barbara, his mother, who's a registered nurse,
and will be unnerving to anyone else. And I would
not wish that on anyone. And when I heard from
Sharon Bellio that Stephan was originally intubated, that gave me
great concern because when you are given a breathing tube,

(27:52):
it can go either way at that point, especially when
you're talking about in an accident of that magnitude. So
praise you Jesus, as I would say, I'm appreciative of
all the blessings that he's bestowed upon Stefan and his family.
There's still a long, long way to go, and that's
why I still encourage you and anyone else who's listening.

(28:15):
It's okay to keep donating to the GoFundMe. We're presently
at ninety eight thousand, five hundred and fifty two dollars raised.
I like nice round numbers, so if we can get
to one hundred thousand before midnight, that would be just well,
be just well, because there's so much that Stephan is

(28:35):
going to have to do in this recovery, and we
don't know. It's open ended as to how long it's
going to take. I asked his mother point blank how
long she expected Stephan to possibly be in the hospital,
and she is a registered nurse, could not even hazard
a guess because there was a lot more work to

(28:55):
be done as far as reconstructing his left arm, and
I was reminded to night that he's left handed as
I am, and so there's there's another facet to this
as far as learning how to rely on his offhand
for the foreseeable future for an inordinate amount of time,
and that's going to be another challenge which is awaiting him.

(29:18):
But all in all, I would say today was a
good day. I can't speak for anyone else, but it
was a difficult weekend. Stephan was on my mind all
week and long because we knew some but we didn't
know all.

Speaker 3 (29:30):
We didn't get to.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
Hear his voice unless you checked out KFI social media.
My social media got to hear his voice yesterday evening,
which helped me personally and emotionally, and I think it
helped a lot of people out there to hear. He
sounded like Stefan amazingly, he sounded just like himself, even
though he clearly could not have been just himself. It

(29:53):
was a huge released relief to hear his voice.

Speaker 3 (29:55):
Wasn't it really was?

Speaker 2 (29:58):
And it sounded like, Okay, it might be all right,
It might be all right, kay if I am six
forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio

Speaker 1 (30:05):
App as I and k os t h D two,
