Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Later with Moe Kelly, we live on YouTube and the
iHeartRadio app. And I have to give it to Taylor Swift.
I'm not a swiftye I can name maybe two of
her songs at most, but I can recognize genius when
it comes to business. And I would say this about
people like Kim Kardashian. I don't like what she does,
but I can't disrespect the business of turning something nothing
(00:30):
into something, you know, becoming a billionaire. Regardless of how
you got there, you became a billionaire. And Taylor Swift
is another person. Not only is she the top music
artist in the world right now, she has the number
one movie in the world. And it's weird because Taylor Swift,
the official release party of A Showgirl is only a
(00:50):
behind the scenes look at the making of her record.
In other words, it's just other material. They're just repurposing
and put it into a movie format.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
They straight to AMC.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Theaters, which is the distributors, not a movie production company.
It's AMC Theaters which allowed it the widest coverage.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
That's genius.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
It was in thirty seven hundred theaters and it's the
number one movie in the world, and it grows fifty
million dollars thirty four million domestic, sixteen million international. Yeah,
it didn't have any real competition as far as a
first week release, but it's fifty million.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Dollars and all they had to do was keep the
cameras rolling. While she was making her record, she basically said, Hey,
take all this edit it.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
We're going to put it in theaters again because I'm
going to make one hundred percent of that. I'm paying
AMC bay explain that to stream my film. This is
the direct deal with me and AMC. I control the
ticket sales, the time the film shows, all of that.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
It's a partnership with AMC.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
They can get the foot traffic, You sell the hot
dogs and stuff like that, no time, hell a swift merchandise.
You can't sell any merchants I like popcorn. No, there's
no tens. But I'm going to get all of that money.
So I just made a quick fifty million, just off
the top and didn't do anything extra or special. It
wasn't like they had to put together a movie. It
(02:17):
was stuff that was just filming her while she was recording.
Just it's basically exaggerated social media. You get to see
more of what you didn't get to see before. Yeah,
you might get some behind the scenes of the engagement.
Oh her looking at her ring, stuff like that. But
this is absolute genius and she saw how much she
made and how impactful. The last film that she did
(02:40):
was when it went to theaters. And this is also
something for those fans who were not able to purchase
those big ticket of the.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Big tickets to the concerts.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Retard to the concerts, they say, look, I got some
an extra for you all come to your local theater,
and they were packing those theaters out.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
To get to take per screen average ninety two hundred dollars,
which is insane. That's per screen average. I'll give you
an example or comparison. It's in thirty seven hundred theaters.
One Battle after Another, which came in second this week,
is in thirty six hundred and thirty four theaters. Comparable,
the per screen average for one Battle after Another was
(03:20):
only three thousand dollars. Wow, Taylor Swift was three times
that amount kicking leos. But but speaking of one Battle
after Another in its second week, it's now crossed a
one hundred million dollar worldwide box office take, and I
don't know what the budget was, but it will make money.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
I thought it was somewhere around one hundred and forty
or fifty. Yeah, I've heard different figures, but it's still safe.
It's the second week. It did not lose any theaters.
It brought an eleven million domestically.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
It's in a real good position to have legs at
least five six weeks in theaters.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
I hope.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
So I keep on reading that it's a flop, and
that's going to affect whether or not movies like that
are made again. So I hope it becomes a success.
It wasn't a huge hit right out of the gate, though,
No it wasn't.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
But I'm talking about it in terms of whether it
makes its money back.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Now. I can't deal with expectations.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
I'm just dealing with its listed budget, likely marketing and promotion.
Let's say it was two hundred million all together, maybe
that might be of some concern, But if it's in
the one hundred and sixty million dollar range.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
I think it's going to be okay. I hope people
go see it. It's really good and I hope we
get more like it.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
I liked it.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
The Smashing Machine. A twenty four The Little Movie Studio
Which could. Smashing Machine came in third this week in
its first week with six million dollars. A twenty four
is very good for not necessarily big budget pictures, but
high concept ideas. They can produce on budgets under seventy
(04:54):
five million.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
Yeah, they're kind of like a slightly more bespoke Blumhouse.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yeah yeah, or maybe you know a lions Gate back
in the day. Yeah, they're not looking for huge numbers,
but those are the companies will be which more, which
would be producing more.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Daring movies.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
They are willing to take chances on movies they've got
a good reputation, and people make a point of listing
that it's an A twenty four movie when they mentioned them.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Gabby's Dollhouse the movie. I have no idea what this is.
Gabby and Grandma Grandma Gigi's road trip takes an unexpected
turn when Gabby's prize dollhouse ends up with eccentric cat
Lady Vera.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
It sounds like a movie I just got to see.
I don't even know what you just said.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Look it grows thirty two million worldwide, so somebody's out
there seeing it.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
I don't think we're the demographic for this. Oh we're not.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Oh okay, I'll just say super Bowl half time show
not meant for me. Coming in number five, mark The
Conjuring last rites.
Speaker 6 (05:52):
I still haven't seen that.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
It is now up to four hundred and fifty nine
million world wide.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Good for them. The previous three of those movies were
a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Demons Layer came in number six, is still hanging around.
It has gross six hundred and thirty three million worldwide,
And honestly, movies like that, Demons Layer and The Conjuring,
even though this year is down box office wise, movies
like that are really saving the box office. When you're
getting these movies which you're getting half a billion, which
(06:27):
really should not be expected to get half a billion.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
That ought to tell you.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
And Avatar Way of Water twenty twenty five rerelease brought
in three million. Boom, trash boom. How dare they It's
not like it's a twenty year old movie.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
We got to re release it. To theannars, it's like
five years old or something.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
They're literally trying to account for that boastful lie of
how much you made the first time around.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
Oh, here we go with the avatar trutherism. Look, they're
just trying.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
They're trying to make their uh, they're trying to make
their dollars and their sense seeing it upon the masses trash.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
And I will not be seeing it this time either. True,
you don't know anyone that will. Casper twenty twenty five
re release. You talked about lazy. It's lazy, like.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Theaters are just like, give give me another.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
They've turned themselves into a damn VHS video store.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
You know.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
It's like they'll just put soft up every now and then,
just in case you missed it. Thirty years ago, no
one was asking for a Casper re release.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
You know, they're redoing another anniversary triple play of Back
to the Future. And I said to myself, well, that's
just lazy. You already did that on the date that
fifteeners supposed to have happened, So why are you doing
it now?
Speaker 3 (07:42):
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
When we come back, we have to talk about Lionel
Richie and his thoughts on Michael Jackson, and I'm going
to also tell you my stories of similar stories of
people in the industry.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Lionel Richie Obviously.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Since Michael Jackson's been gone for some sixteen years, believe
it or not, you know, he probably feels more comfortable
with telling certain inside stories about MJ and others. And
I want to tell you not only am I okay
with him telling the story, I pretty much believe it
as well.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
We'll tell you why when we come back.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Lina Richie has his new memoir out.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
It's titled Truly, which is also the name of one
of his songs, Lionel Richie. And this is common of
all these memoirs. It does not matter who it is.
There are things, obviously that people put in the books
which will get people to buy them. It will generate
interest for people to interview him or her regarding the
(08:47):
book salacious, but more often not they are true. And
Lionel Richie obviously has known Michael Jackson for most of
Michael's life. If you know the history of Motown and
CBS Records and with the Commodores when Lona was with
the Commodoores. But Lona Richie said that Michael Jackson was
(09:10):
nicknamed Smelly for poor hygiene and allegedly would wear pants
until they were unwearable. That's what Lona Richie had to say.
When I saw this, I said, yeah, it's probably true.
It probably is true, if only because when you're in
the music industry you are dealing with people not as celebrities.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
You're just dealing with them as people.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
You're rehearsing with them, maybe you're on the road with them,
you're hanging out with them, you're partying with them. You
get to see the non famous side of someone. And
I don't know how many times I told a story
about Lenny Kravitz on here as far as how badly
he smelled.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
And there are a number of people.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
There are singers that you wouldn't know the name of,
but they're semi famous, who had horrible dental.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Hygiene, all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
But I did notice when you get to the super famous,
the more disconnected those individuals happen to be with the
things that we consider normal.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Higien usually is one of them.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Usually, you know, they kind of do whatever they want,
however they want, whenever they want, because nobody ever tells them. No,
there is no real guidance to say, hey, go wash
your ass, you know, take a shower, brush your teeth
like a parent would.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
And so I've.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Encountered a number of quote unquote celebrities with questionable HIGI.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Yeah, it's it's kind of part and parcel to the business.
I mean, these people that you think are just oh
my god, there's so and so, and if you so
happen to run up on them and maybe get a
hug or whatever, you may find yourself one to go
on and take a shower afterwards.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
We'll put it this way.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
If a guy had a pet chim pansy and was
known for eccentricities, how much of a leap are we
talking about where he probably had some sort of hygiene deficiency.
You know what other weird stuff might that include.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
Well, look, there are several groups who maybe the KFI
audience wouldn't know. They wouldn't know some of these groups,
but now they probably Weren'tah, but there's a girl group
by the name of Total And one time we did
there are a group that was under a bad.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Boy and we'll be talking about p.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Nicks And we did a show and they came through
artists check in and I don't know who in the group,
so I don't want to say all three of them,
but one of them was ripe as Orangutank asked, well.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
When do you say right? It's a girl group, so
I have to ask the question. I'm not trying to
be disrespectful, but I think we make a distation. Was
it like body odor or was it a feminine older
It was more of a feminine pungency. Ooh, and I oh, hot, damn,
I need to go. I was because I was there
(12:14):
and I'm standing and this is one of them is
standing in front of me, and I'm like, is it
the leather?
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Is it you?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
It's it's the thing with leather, though, because whenever I
saw Lendykravitsky was always wearing leather.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Your story is leather.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Someone in the chat, Tommy god Love, reminded us of
Matthew McConaughey. He doesn't wear deodorant. That's been publicly reported.
That's yes, that is common.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
Was it?
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Ashton Kutcher?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
And I think milakunis they only bathed like twice a
week or something like that. It's common in Hollywood, these
weird hygiene practices. Me, You will never catch me on
a day in which I didn't shower unless I am
really really sick and in the bed and I'm not
going anywhere.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
You're not going anywhere.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
That's the only way you're not gonna catch me out
in public. Like I'm I take a shower before I
go to workout, before I go to hopketle one, because
it's kind of expected. Clearliness and hygiene is part of
our dojong expectations, but also just me, I take a
shower before I go work out. But in Hollywood it's
(13:28):
not It's not all that uncommon for people to have
questionable hygiene habits. And I say that because I wasn't
surprised when Lionel Richie was quoted as saying that, you know,
Michael Jackson was nicknamed smelly. I'm quite sure there's probably
another forty to fifty people who could corroborate that story.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
He's not just making that up.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
I mean, when you look back on any of those
old school album covers from the seventy you got dudes
all bunched up together with no shirts on. You know,
there's some funky mofa funky moff a lot of leather
you know, I always thought, what was the name of
that group, uh Africa ban Bada and them. He used
(14:10):
to wear those gigantic outfits. All I could think to
myself is, man, those brothers must be funky.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
In the seventies, it was all about leather and exposed
chess with chest hair. It just looked like everybody's sweating
under those hot lights. And this is not even a
quote which is attributable to line of Richie. He's saying
that Quincy Jones said it, and he also experienced it.
But the quote of the nickname comes from Quincy Jones,
(14:37):
and Quincy Jones was notorious for telling stories about people
and letting all the business go before he died.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
So all I say is people are gonna give this
a lot of press, including us, but I want you
to put it in this correct context. This is nothing unusual.
I'm sorry, you know, you make grossy out. It grosses
me out, But I'm saying within Hollywood, it's nothing unusual.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Yeah, people's thing, people's thing. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
And I never met Michael Jackson. I met Janet, worked
with Janet, but I never met Michael, so I couldn't
tell you one way or the other. I'm just saying,
from my professional experience of all these years of working
in entertainment, that is not uncommon, and it's especially less
uncommon when you get to the bigger and bigger and
bigger stars. I'm saying, they all have their quirks and
(15:26):
you know hygiene. You're Michael Jackson, who is telling you no.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Now See.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Conversely, when you brought Janet Jackson to the Beam, I
can tell you for a fact, yes I did. I
think next to her and taking a picture with her.
She smells like kittens and rainbows and everything a woman
is supposed to smell like.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
True story.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
I wanted to hug her and hold her so badly,
but of course I was warned that I would be
dead with it in.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Committe because he had the bodyguards with that.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Her assassin Navy sell like bodyguards will kill you if
you touch her.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
I have to say that is since you mentioned that,
one of the highlights of my life. On this particular day,
I was escorting Jana Jackson around to the various radio
stations because she was in tour support of Velvet Rope.
You know, you have a song come out, you have
the artists go to the station and say yeah, I
got a new album.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
It's called The Velvet Rope.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
And yet heah yeah, blah blah blah, and they get
to do some interviews with what they call drops and
liners of like, Hi, my name's Jenna Jackson. You're listening
to the ninety two point three The Beat LA's home
for hip hop and R and B whatever.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
It was okay, that was it, And.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
My job was just take her for the station and
this okay, and I would arrange the pictures were say
all right, all right, another ten people, come get in
the picture with Jana Jackson's that's one of the best
days of my life. And yes, she smelled like puppies
and rainbows and kittens and all that.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
Yeah, Mark, I assume she'd smell nasty.
Speaker 6 (17:00):
Come on, Sam, No, there we go.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
He earned it. Yeah, let's pop. Let's talk p Diddy
when we come back.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Oh yeah, and still we have a huge mo Kelly
Halloween soore a party update and it's gonna blow your mind.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Pull the show's over.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Did he as you know by now was sentenced to
four years and two months in prison. I can't say
I was surprised, but I was kind of surprised at
the length of the sentence.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
I thought it was gonna be a little less than that.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
But then when you look deeper into the judge's decision
that there was, according to the judge, a need for
deterrence and he was unconvinced that if Combs is released,
these crimes won't happen again.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
So, in other words, there is a belief, the least.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
From the judge that Combs will go back to doing
what he was doing before. And yeah, I agree with that,
but I don't know from a legal standpoint whether that
is within the bounds of the sentencing guidelines.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
But here's a larger issue. It's not going to make
any difference. It's not going to make any.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Difference because I would bet dollars to donuts he is
going to be pardoned by Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
President Trump, he thinks.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
So I think he is, and the president, and part
of what President Trump usually does, he talks about it
to get people ready for him doing it. And he said,
I think it was today that he said explicitly that
Diddy had reached out to him asking for pardon. Why
he would mention that, I don't know other than he's
(18:45):
probably going to do it well.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
He also said, I don't know about that because Diddy
said some really nasty, terrible things about me while I
was running. He didn't believe in me. He talked bad
about me. You know, he really was supporting the Democrats.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Twelve jd Vance.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Called him America's hitler and ended up as vice president.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Oh, I forgot about that. I'm not going to put
too much stock in I'm not saying I'm just saying, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
There are a lot of people who have criticized the
civilian Donald Trump and the president Donald Trump. But if
you play the right notes or sing the right tune
after that, you can get what you want from Donald Trump.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
He probably could use Diddy to you know, spread the word,
you know, preach the gospel about Trump's goodness.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
He definitely could do that. And here's the reality. Donald
Trump has been very close to music in Hollywood. He's
had a relationship with Diddy on a New York level
and a New York scene level for many years. They're
not unfamiliar with each other, and for whatever reasons, he
(20:04):
as far as the pardoning of black people, for the
most part, it has to do with entertainment celebrities. As
celebrities we're connected to. We talked to Harry O, you know,
one of the founders of death Row Records. We know
his posthumous pardon of Jack Johnson, the boxer.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
There are a lot of things you can see.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Patterns, and this is one of his patterns. This is
something that he probably would do because it would be
high profile.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
It's something that.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
He can say he's you know, he would probably make
the argument that it was very unfair what happened to
p Diddy, even though there's no evidence to support that
it was unfair. But that has been a familiar theme
for him, a continuing theme about the supposed unfairness of
the justice system. And he's more likely than not to
(20:51):
pardon him. And I think he's going to pardon Gelan
Maxwell eventually. Now, whether he does it in the near
term or whether he does it out the door at
the end of his I don't know, but I bet
dollars to donuts he's going to do that as well.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
Well.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
He's talking about both of them within the space of
today to day.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
So it's yeah, first he said what he said something
to the effective paraphrasing Gilay Maxwell's like, I haven't heard
that name in a long time. You just talked about
it two months ago. You just sent your you know,
deputy Attorney general to talk to her in her prison cell,
and all of a sudden she ended up in a
better prison location.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
So stop that.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
But yes, both names came up in regard to pardons
today out of his mouth, and he didn't rule out either.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
I actually, in looking at Diddy sentencing, I for the
first time in the history of America trying popular or
celebrity African American men, I thought that his sentence was
actually just by way of just by way of charging
(21:58):
them with the Man Act, which does carry some three
to four years. And I know that the judge said,
I'm making sure that I give you the extent of
this because of my feelings about things that I think
you should be charged for that I can't, so I'm
going to make sure I at least make sure that
you get served the maximum for his manager, but still
(22:20):
for if he would have been charged more than that,
then I would have actually cried foul because I'm like, well.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
That's not what he was on trial for.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Because everyone wants him to get tried for things that
he did in the past that were not connected to
the actual case. So in looking at his sentencing, I'm like, Okay,
that was fair.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Yeah, I'm look, there's been a lot of discussion about
the sentence, and I think people are missing the bigger picture.
This sentence is likely not going to stand because of
a pardon. And yes, he's going to monetize all of this,
all of this. He's going to drop a book. He's
(22:59):
gonna turn it into a movie, and I'm not saying
he shouldn't, because that's the American way and that will
be his right as a free person at that point.
You can't monetize your crimes while you're a prisoner. But
you know, there's there are too many ways that he's
going to make money about this, and I don't begrudge
him for that. I just think that people who have
missed the bigger picture just all together. This is this
(23:23):
is not about the sentence. This is about the eventual pardon.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
The interviews alone that he will be charging, but for
the first interview, the second interview. He will be charging
for at least the first four to five interviews after
he is released. Plus he still has people forget he
still does own Bad Boy and the Catalog and all that.
Whatever he owns, he still owns, so he's not necessarily
(23:45):
hurting because of this sentencing. He'll you know, look, he'll
be fine when he gets out. He will, He'll be fine.
He'll absolutely be fine. It's Later with mo Kelly. You
want to check in with George Norri when we come back.

on the paranormal side on Coast to Coast, All.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Right, I can't wait. I love the paranormal side all right.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Then, before we go, just got to let you know
when we did the first year of the Halloween Swore
it was a tremendous success. I loved it. It was
something that was more than I thought it would be.
Your response to it was fantastic as well. And it
(24:58):
was something I think everyone in and thought that it's
something that we should do every single year, and I
agreed with you.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
I agree with you.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
I think it was something we should do every single year,
start of an annual tradition. And we could just own
it with Halloween October thirty first. You know, they'll be
our thing like it just it just be our annual
thing where we would have the later with Moke Kelly
Halloween swore.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
So are you ready for the big announcement? Sam? You're

Okay, Mark? Are you ready for the big announcement? Because
I haven't even told you yet. I'm not sure. What
if it's too big? Well it's not too big, Okay, yeah,

No, no, we got away. It has to be the last.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Thing they hear right before we sign off, because I
want to leave them with their mouths open. They're not
going to believe when I'm getting ready to tell them.
Given the success of this last year, given how well
it was perceived last year.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
It's a lot of innuendo for this announcement.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Eric Lisardo has put drum rolls in the mom Migos chat.
Darryl Sexton says, yes, just me says, great show, thank you.
The anticipation is killing me. I want to tell them.
I want to just get it over with and let

Speaker 3 (26:41):
It will feel good. Yeah, you gotta get out. DK
Fuel says, I'm excited.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Darryl Sexton says, you get tickets, you get ticket, you
get ticket, you get a ticket. I can't wait to

to see them. Mark, you really don't know.

It's clean dirty, it's nothing dirty about this.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Let's have it. No no, no, no, you didn't hear. You didn't.

Speaker 3 (27:12):
And I talk about this. Oh Mark, I would have
thought you had heard. Oh my goodness, I am really disappointed.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
I thought you were one of the team in the
show where you knew about everything which was going on
with the show. Just me says, we're ready. No, you're
not ready for this. You are not ready for what
I'm about to tell you. And let me just say,
just me. That's that's the person's handle. It is one
hundred percent true. It is one hundred percent true. Say
(27:43):
it now, please, Okay. I have been talking with station management.
I've been talking with various vendors, people who are gonna
give us food, people are gonna work security for us.
And and here is the big announcement for year two.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Of the annual later with mo Kelly Halloween swore a tawala.
Should I give it to him?

Speaker 2 (28:13):
Okay, I'm gonna give it to you, and I'm gonna

here we go. Give me one more minute. I'm waiting.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
I need a drum roll. This better be good. Oh
it's good. It's gonna blow your mind.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
The twenty twenty five later with mo' kelly Halloween Swore
Ethnic canceled due to circumstances beyond our control. Can'tf I
am six forty live everywhere in I Heart Ready
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Well as I and k os t h D 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 (00:05):
Later with Moe Kelly, we live on YouTube and the
iHeartRadio app. And I have to give it to Taylor Swift.
I'm not a swiftye I can name maybe two of
her songs at most, but I can recognize genius when
it comes to business. And I would say this about
people like Kim Kardashian. I don't like what she does,
but I can't disrespect the business of turning something nothing
(00:30):
into something, you know, becoming a billionaire. Regardless of how
you got there, you became a billionaire. And Taylor Swift
is another person. Not only is she the top music
artist in the world right now, she has the number
one movie in the world. And it's weird because Taylor Swift,
the official release party of A Showgirl is only a
(00:50):
behind the scenes look at the making of her record.
In other words, it's just other material. They're just repurposing
and put it into a movie format.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
They straight to AMC.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Theaters, which is the distributors, not a movie production company.
It's AMC Theaters which allowed it the widest coverage.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
That's genius.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
It was in thirty seven hundred theaters and it's the
number one movie in the world, and it grows fifty
million dollars thirty four million domestic, sixteen million international. Yeah,
it didn't have any real competition as far as a
first week release, but it's fifty million.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Dollars and all they had to do was keep the
cameras rolling. While she was making her record, she basically said, Hey,
take all this edit it.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
We're going to put it in theaters again because I'm
going to make one hundred percent of that. I'm paying
AMC bay explain that to stream my film. This is
the direct deal with me and AMC. I control the
ticket sales, the time the film shows, all of that.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
It's a partnership with AMC.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
They can get the foot traffic, You sell the hot
dogs and stuff like that, no time, hell a swift merchandise.
You can't sell any merchants I like popcorn. No, there's
no tens. But I'm going to get all of that money.
So I just made a quick fifty million, just off
the top and didn't do anything extra or special. It
wasn't like they had to put together a movie. It
(02:17):
was stuff that was just filming her while she was recording.
Just it's basically exaggerated social media. You get to see
more of what you didn't get to see before. Yeah,
you might get some behind the scenes of the engagement.
Oh her looking at her ring, stuff like that. But
this is absolute genius and she saw how much she
made and how impactful. The last film that she did
(02:40):
was when it went to theaters. And this is also
something for those fans who were not able to purchase
those big ticket of the.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Big tickets to the concerts.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Retard to the concerts, they say, look, I got some
an extra for you all come to your local theater,
and they were packing those theaters out.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
To get to take per screen average ninety two hundred dollars,
which is insane. That's per screen average. I'll give you
an example or comparison. It's in thirty seven hundred theaters.
One Battle after Another, which came in second this week,
is in thirty six hundred and thirty four theaters. Comparable,
the per screen average for one Battle after Another was
(03:20):
only three thousand dollars. Wow, Taylor Swift was three times
that amount kicking leos. But but speaking of one Battle
after Another in its second week, it's now crossed a
one hundred million dollar worldwide box office take, and I
don't know what the budget was, but it will make money.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
I thought it was somewhere around one hundred and forty
or fifty. Yeah, I've heard different figures, but it's still safe.
It's the second week. It did not lose any theaters.
It brought an eleven million domestically.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
It's in a real good position to have legs at
least five six weeks in theaters.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
I hope.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
So I keep on reading that it's a flop, and
that's going to affect whether or not movies like that
are made again. So I hope it becomes a success.
It wasn't a huge hit right out of the gate, though,
No it wasn't.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
But I'm talking about it in terms of whether it
makes its money back.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Now. I can't deal with expectations.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
I'm just dealing with its listed budget, likely marketing and promotion.
Let's say it was two hundred million all together, maybe
that might be of some concern, But if it's in
the one hundred and sixty million dollar range.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
I think it's going to be okay. I hope people
go see it. It's really good and I hope we
get more like it.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
I liked it.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
The Smashing Machine. A twenty four The Little Movie Studio
Which could. Smashing Machine came in third this week in
its first week with six million dollars. A twenty four
is very good for not necessarily big budget pictures, but
high concept ideas. They can produce on budgets under seventy
(04:54):
five million.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
Yeah, they're kind of like a slightly more bespoke Blumhouse.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yeah yeah, or maybe you know a lions Gate back
in the day. Yeah, they're not looking for huge numbers,
but those are the companies will be which more, which
would be producing more.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Daring movies.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
They are willing to take chances on movies they've got
a good reputation, and people make a point of listing
that it's an A twenty four movie when they mentioned them.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Gabby's Dollhouse the movie. I have no idea what this is.
Gabby and Grandma Grandma Gigi's road trip takes an unexpected
turn when Gabby's prize dollhouse ends up with eccentric cat
Lady Vera.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
It sounds like a movie I just got to see.
I don't even know what you just said.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Look it grows thirty two million worldwide, so somebody's out
there seeing it.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
I don't think we're the demographic for this. Oh we're not.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Oh okay, I'll just say super Bowl half time show
not meant for me. Coming in number five, mark The
Conjuring last rites.
Speaker 6 (05:52):
I still haven't seen that.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
It is now up to four hundred and fifty nine
million world wide.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Good for them. The previous three of those movies were
a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Demons Layer came in number six, is still hanging around.
It has gross six hundred and thirty three million worldwide,
And honestly, movies like that, Demons Layer and The Conjuring,
even though this year is down box office wise, movies
like that are really saving the box office. When you're
getting these movies which you're getting half a billion, which
(06:27):
really should not be expected to get half a billion.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
That ought to tell you.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
And Avatar Way of Water twenty twenty five rerelease brought
in three million. Boom, trash boom. How dare they It's
not like it's a twenty year old movie.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
We got to re release it. To theannars, it's like
five years old or something.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
They're literally trying to account for that boastful lie of
how much you made the first time around.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
Oh, here we go with the avatar trutherism. Look, they're
just trying.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
They're trying to make their uh, they're trying to make
their dollars and their sense seeing it upon the masses trash.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
And I will not be seeing it this time either. True,
you don't know anyone that will. Casper twenty twenty five
re release. You talked about lazy. It's lazy, like.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Theaters are just like, give give me another.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
They've turned themselves into a damn VHS video store.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
You know.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
It's like they'll just put soft up every now and then,
just in case you missed it. Thirty years ago, no
one was asking for a Casper re release.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
You know, they're redoing another anniversary triple play of Back
to the Future. And I said to myself, well, that's
just lazy. You already did that on the date that
fifteeners supposed to have happened, So why are you doing
it now?
Speaker 3 (07:42):
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
When we come back, we have to talk about Lionel
Richie and his thoughts on Michael Jackson, and I'm going
to also tell you my stories of similar stories of
people in the industry.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Lionel Richie Obviously.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Since Michael Jackson's been gone for some sixteen years, believe
it or not, you know, he probably feels more comfortable
with telling certain inside stories about MJ and others. And
I want to tell you not only am I okay
with him telling the story, I pretty much believe it
as well.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
We'll tell you why when we come back.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Lina Richie has his new memoir out.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
It's titled Truly, which is also the name of one
of his songs, Lionel Richie. And this is common of
all these memoirs. It does not matter who it is.
There are things, obviously that people put in the books
which will get people to buy them. It will generate
interest for people to interview him or her regarding the
(08:47):
book salacious, but more often not they are true. And
Lionel Richie obviously has known Michael Jackson for most of
Michael's life. If you know the history of Motown and
CBS Records and with the Commodores when Lona was with
the Commodoores. But Lona Richie said that Michael Jackson was
(09:10):
nicknamed Smelly for poor hygiene and allegedly would wear pants
until they were unwearable. That's what Lona Richie had to say.
When I saw this, I said, yeah, it's probably true.
It probably is true, if only because when you're in
the music industry you are dealing with people not as celebrities.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
You're just dealing with them as people.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
You're rehearsing with them, maybe you're on the road with them,
you're hanging out with them, you're partying with them. You
get to see the non famous side of someone. And
I don't know how many times I told a story
about Lenny Kravitz on here as far as how badly
he smelled.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
And there are a number of people.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
There are singers that you wouldn't know the name of,
but they're semi famous, who had horrible dental.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Hygiene, all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
But I did notice when you get to the super famous,
the more disconnected those individuals happen to be with the
things that we consider normal.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Higien usually is one of them.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Usually, you know, they kind of do whatever they want,
however they want, whenever they want, because nobody ever tells them. No,
there is no real guidance to say, hey, go wash
your ass, you know, take a shower, brush your teeth
like a parent would.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
And so I've.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Encountered a number of quote unquote celebrities with questionable HIGI.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Yeah, it's it's kind of part and parcel to the business.
I mean, these people that you think are just oh
my god, there's so and so, and if you so
happen to run up on them and maybe get a
hug or whatever, you may find yourself one to go
on and take a shower afterwards.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
We'll put it this way.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
If a guy had a pet chim pansy and was
known for eccentricities, how much of a leap are we
talking about where he probably had some sort of hygiene deficiency.
You know what other weird stuff might that include.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
Well, look, there are several groups who maybe the KFI
audience wouldn't know. They wouldn't know some of these groups,
but now they probably Weren'tah, but there's a girl group
by the name of Total And one time we did
there are a group that was under a bad.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Boy and we'll be talking about p.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Nicks And we did a show and they came through
artists check in and I don't know who in the group,
so I don't want to say all three of them,
but one of them was ripe as Orangutank asked, well.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
When do you say right? It's a girl group, so
I have to ask the question. I'm not trying to
be disrespectful, but I think we make a distation. Was
it like body odor or was it a feminine older
It was more of a feminine pungency. Ooh, and I oh, hot, damn,
I need to go. I was because I was there
(12:14):
and I'm standing and this is one of them is
standing in front of me, and I'm like, is it
the leather?
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Is it you?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
It's it's the thing with leather, though, because whenever I
saw Lendykravitsky was always wearing leather.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Your story is leather.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Someone in the chat, Tommy god Love, reminded us of
Matthew McConaughey. He doesn't wear deodorant. That's been publicly reported.
That's yes, that is common.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
Was it?
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Ashton Kutcher?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
And I think milakunis they only bathed like twice a
week or something like that. It's common in Hollywood, these
weird hygiene practices. Me, You will never catch me on
a day in which I didn't shower unless I am
really really sick and in the bed and I'm not
going anywhere.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
You're not going anywhere.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
That's the only way you're not gonna catch me out
in public. Like I'm I take a shower before I
go to workout, before I go to hopketle one, because
it's kind of expected. Clearliness and hygiene is part of
our dojong expectations, but also just me, I take a
shower before I go work out. But in Hollywood it's
(13:28):
not It's not all that uncommon for people to have
questionable hygiene habits. And I say that because I wasn't
surprised when Lionel Richie was quoted as saying that, you know,
Michael Jackson was nicknamed smelly. I'm quite sure there's probably
another forty to fifty people who could corroborate that story.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
He's not just making that up.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
I mean, when you look back on any of those
old school album covers from the seventy you got dudes
all bunched up together with no shirts on. You know,
there's some funky mofa funky moff a lot of leather
you know, I always thought, what was the name of
that group, uh Africa ban Bada and them. He used
(14:10):
to wear those gigantic outfits. All I could think to
myself is, man, those brothers must be funky.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
In the seventies, it was all about leather and exposed
chess with chest hair. It just looked like everybody's sweating
under those hot lights. And this is not even a
quote which is attributable to line of Richie. He's saying
that Quincy Jones said it, and he also experienced it.
But the quote of the nickname comes from Quincy Jones,
(14:37):
and Quincy Jones was notorious for telling stories about people
and letting all the business go before he died.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
So all I say is people are gonna give this
a lot of press, including us, but I want you
to put it in this correct context. This is nothing unusual.
I'm sorry, you know, you make grossy out. It grosses
me out, But I'm saying within Hollywood, it's nothing unusual.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Yeah, people's thing, people's thing. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
And I never met Michael Jackson. I met Janet, worked
with Janet, but I never met Michael, so I couldn't
tell you one way or the other. I'm just saying,
from my professional experience of all these years of working
in entertainment, that is not uncommon, and it's especially less
uncommon when you get to the bigger and bigger and
bigger stars. I'm saying, they all have their quirks and
(15:26):
you know hygiene. You're Michael Jackson, who is telling you no.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Now See.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Conversely, when you brought Janet Jackson to the Beam, I
can tell you for a fact, yes I did. I
think next to her and taking a picture with her.
She smells like kittens and rainbows and everything a woman
is supposed to smell like.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
True story.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
I wanted to hug her and hold her so badly,
but of course I was warned that I would be
dead with it in.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Committe because he had the bodyguards with that.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Her assassin Navy sell like bodyguards will kill you if
you touch her.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
I have to say that is since you mentioned that,
one of the highlights of my life. On this particular day,
I was escorting Jana Jackson around to the various radio
stations because she was in tour support of Velvet Rope.
You know, you have a song come out, you have
the artists go to the station and say yeah, I
got a new album.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
It's called The Velvet Rope.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
And yet heah yeah, blah blah blah, and they get
to do some interviews with what they call drops and
liners of like, Hi, my name's Jenna Jackson. You're listening
to the ninety two point three The Beat LA's home
for hip hop and R and B whatever.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
It was okay, that was it, And.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
My job was just take her for the station and
this okay, and I would arrange the pictures were say
all right, all right, another ten people, come get in
the picture with Jana Jackson's that's one of the best
days of my life. And yes, she smelled like puppies
and rainbows and kittens and all that.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
Yeah, Mark, I assume she'd smell nasty.
Speaker 6 (17:00):
Come on, Sam, No, there we go.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
He earned it. Yeah, let's pop. Let's talk p Diddy
when we come back.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Oh yeah, and still we have a huge mo Kelly
Halloween soore a party update and it's gonna blow your mind.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Pull the show's over.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Did he as you know by now was sentenced to
four years and two months in prison. I can't say
I was surprised, but I was kind of surprised at
the length of the sentence.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
I thought it was gonna be a little less than that.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
But then when you look deeper into the judge's decision
that there was, according to the judge, a need for
deterrence and he was unconvinced that if Combs is released,
these crimes won't happen again.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
So, in other words, there is a belief, the least.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
From the judge that Combs will go back to doing
what he was doing before. And yeah, I agree with that,
but I don't know from a legal standpoint whether that
is within the bounds of the sentencing guidelines.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
But here's a larger issue. It's not going to make
any difference. It's not going to make any.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Difference because I would bet dollars to donuts he is
going to be pardoned by Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
President Trump, he thinks.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
So I think he is, and the president, and part
of what President Trump usually does, he talks about it
to get people ready for him doing it. And he said,
I think it was today that he said explicitly that
Diddy had reached out to him asking for pardon. Why
he would mention that, I don't know other than he's
(18:45):
probably going to do it well.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
He also said, I don't know about that because Diddy
said some really nasty, terrible things about me while I
was running. He didn't believe in me. He talked bad
about me. You know, he really was supporting the Democrats.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Twelve jd Vance.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Called him America's hitler and ended up as vice president.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Oh, I forgot about that. I'm not going to put
too much stock in I'm not saying I'm just saying, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
There are a lot of people who have criticized the
civilian Donald Trump and the president Donald Trump. But if
you play the right notes or sing the right tune
after that, you can get what you want from Donald Trump.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
He probably could use Diddy to you know, spread the word,
you know, preach the gospel about Trump's goodness.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
He definitely could do that. And here's the reality. Donald
Trump has been very close to music in Hollywood. He's
had a relationship with Diddy on a New York level
and a New York scene level for many years. They're
not unfamiliar with each other, and for whatever reasons, he
(20:04):
as far as the pardoning of black people, for the
most part, it has to do with entertainment celebrities. As
celebrities we're connected to. We talked to Harry O, you know,
one of the founders of death Row Records. We know
his posthumous pardon of Jack Johnson, the boxer.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
There are a lot of things you can see.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Patterns, and this is one of his patterns. This is
something that he probably would do because it would be
high profile.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
It's something that.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
He can say he's you know, he would probably make
the argument that it was very unfair what happened to
p Diddy, even though there's no evidence to support that
it was unfair. But that has been a familiar theme
for him, a continuing theme about the supposed unfairness of
the justice system. And he's more likely than not to
(20:51):
pardon him. And I think he's going to pardon Gelan
Maxwell eventually. Now, whether he does it in the near
term or whether he does it out the door at
the end of his I don't know, but I bet
dollars to donuts he's going to do that as well.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
Well.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
He's talking about both of them within the space of
today to day.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
So it's yeah, first he said what he said something
to the effective paraphrasing Gilay Maxwell's like, I haven't heard
that name in a long time. You just talked about
it two months ago. You just sent your you know,
deputy Attorney general to talk to her in her prison cell,
and all of a sudden she ended up in a
better prison location.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
So stop that.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
But yes, both names came up in regard to pardons
today out of his mouth, and he didn't rule out either.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
I actually, in looking at Diddy sentencing, I for the
first time in the history of America trying popular or
celebrity African American men, I thought that his sentence was
actually just by way of just by way of charging
(21:58):
them with the Man Act, which does carry some three
to four years. And I know that the judge said,
I'm making sure that I give you the extent of
this because of my feelings about things that I think
you should be charged for that I can't, so I'm
going to make sure I at least make sure that
you get served the maximum for his manager, but still
(22:20):
for if he would have been charged more than that,
then I would have actually cried foul because I'm like, well.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
That's not what he was on trial for.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Because everyone wants him to get tried for things that
he did in the past that were not connected to
the actual case. So in looking at his sentencing, I'm like, Okay,
that was fair.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Yeah, I'm look, there's been a lot of discussion about
the sentence, and I think people are missing the bigger picture.
This sentence is likely not going to stand because of
a pardon. And yes, he's going to monetize all of this,
all of this. He's going to drop a book. He's
(22:59):
gonna turn it into a movie, and I'm not saying
he shouldn't, because that's the American way and that will
be his right as a free person at that point.
You can't monetize your crimes while you're a prisoner. But
you know, there's there are too many ways that he's
going to make money about this, and I don't begrudge
him for that. I just think that people who have
missed the bigger picture just all together. This is this
(23:23):
is not about the sentence. This is about the eventual pardon.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
The interviews alone that he will be charging, but for
the first interview, the second interview. He will be charging
for at least the first four to five interviews after
he is released. Plus he still has people forget he
still does own Bad Boy and the Catalog and all that.
Whatever he owns, he still owns, so he's not necessarily
(23:45):
hurting because of this sentencing. He'll you know, look, he'll
be fine when he gets out. He will, He'll be fine.
He'll absolutely be fine. It's Later with mo Kelly. You

something that was more than I thought it would be.

something that we should do every single year, and I
agreed with you.
Speaker 3 (25:06):

going to believe when I'm getting ready to tell them.
Given the success of this last year, given how well
it was perceived last year.
