Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
It's Later with mo Kelly. We're live on YouTube, Instagram,
and the iHeartRadio app. And I don't know if anyone
has seen Lel and Stitch. I asked that because it's
the number one movie again for the second week, and
it's already eclipsed six hundred and thirteen million dollars in
two weeks. As a person who appreciates movies and appreciates
(00:29):
movie theaters, that is great news for movie theaters. And
if you don't know, that means that movie is going
to do well for an extended period of time in theaters,
and it's going to bring in business seven days a week,
not just weekends, and so people are gonna have butts
and seats throughout the week for many weeks that conceivably
(00:53):
could be in theaters I don't know, seven or eight weeks,
which is very uncommon these days. You have a movie
like Sinners, which came in at number six this week,
brought in another five point two million, and it's totals
three hundred and fifty million now in its seventh seventh
week in theaters. Still in more than twenty one hundred theaters.
(01:14):
That's good for movie theaters. That's what you want in it.
Excuse me. In a healthy box office season, you want
movies to perform well and linger longer in theaters. Now,
I don't know if this is good news or bad news,
but coming in at number three this week is Karate
Kid Legends. It's good for it because it brought in
(01:38):
forty six million worldwide.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
I think his budget was maybe forty five million.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
I think it made all of its budget back, not
including marketing and promotion in its first week, and given
what I actually saw in the movie, I'm very surprised.
I would be interested to see tuala how much of
a drop off it has in its first to second
week because of word of mouth when word gets out
about the movie, and I don't think it's going to
play well.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
It was trashed by critics fans.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Younger fans appreciate it, but the older fans who are
there for the nostalgia are going to be greatly disappointed.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Yeah, this was a weird one because even today at
the score work at several people said they like it.
They were asking me if I saw it. I'm like, no,
I have no interest in going to a theater to
see and they're like, oh, man, you should is really
good and I'm like, no, wow, you use the word
phrasing really.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yeah in front of good. I think this is one
of those Jonathan Michael B Jordan Creed three movies where
if you're a fan of the actor in this case,
I would say Jackie Chan, then you may like the movie.
If you're a fan of the Karate Kid franchise, I
(02:50):
don't think you'll like the movie. I mean if you
are doing it with knowledge of the ones which came before,
which were all better, and this is a pale copy
and Daniel LaRusso is only in the last third of
the movie, I don't see how people could like it.
But you know, that's why we have different opinions. People
are gonna go to a movie and come away with
it with different things. I'm gonna see whether it has
(03:11):
any legs and whether my word of mouth is the
predominant word of mouth or someone else's.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
And I'm not rooting against the movie.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
I'm just saying I was eagerly anticipating it and severely
disappointed in it. As far as what it actually was.
It was a wasted opportunity. From what I could tell,
it did not build on Cobra Kai. It ignored Cobra Kai.
And you know, you have Jackie Chan in there, but
you don't really connect back to the twenty ten Karate Kid.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
So it was wasted connectivity all around.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Oh oh, I think so.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
I don't think there's any real connectivity at all other
than flashbacks which they show you, which to me is
a lazy way of showing, you know, connectivity.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
And correct me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
But Ralph Macha because he seeing all of the trailers,
Daniel San is not in this film until about.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
The third act. Absolutely no exaggeration, that's absolutely weird.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
He is swear every trailer, every everything you see about it.
It's all Biaggi, Daniel and this kid.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Yeah, you would swear that he was a principal player
in the plot.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
He is not. He's an afterthought.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
He is a solution to what they see as a problem,
and they bring him in to solve the problem relatively
near the end. So you know, for me, I wanted more.
I expect more. I hoped for more. I didn't get more.
But as we go down the list, just in case
I didn't mention it, but Mission Impossible came in number
(04:44):
two this week. Not surprisingly, it now is up to
three hundred and fifty three million. I think it was
a fitting send off, and fans are receiving it as such.
That's someone a movie I do want to see again
multiple times. Because there were a lot of things in
their Easter eggs which were meant for people who had
either seen all seven prior movies and seen them recently
(05:08):
that you might appreciate, because there was a lot where
they tied it into the previous movies, and they basically
said every movie mattered coming up to this eighth and
final one, every single one on different levels, but every
single one. And in the previous seven you had different threads,
you had different storylines, some would connect. But this last movie,
(05:29):
all of the movies have a role to play in
this final movie. And I don't want to give it
away because there's some reveals and some character retcons and
story retcons which were pretty pretty ingenious.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
I didn't mark. You saw it right, Yeah, it's great fun.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Yeah, did you see the previous seven recently?
Speaker 3 (05:48):
To prepare you? Did you go in cold?
Speaker 5 (05:50):
I went in cold, but I had a fairly decent
memory of them, and like I mentioned before, I wasn't
crazy about the first three, but then they started getting
good when McCrory took over as director.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yeah, I would not be mad if there were some
more mission impossibles. Maybe not with Tom Cruise. I would
like to see the franchise continue in the way they
continue with James Bond. Maybe they'd take it a different direction.
I yes, you're supposed to leave the audience wanting more,
but I actually did want more, and I know we're
not going to get more, at least not with Tom Cruise.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Yeah, I'd watch more. And you got to remember that
in the original show they changed up their cast.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
They did.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
I mean, Peter Graves wasn't always the mastermind in the
first series. It was Dan Briggs was the name of
the character, and in fact, this show was originally I
think the title was supposed to be Briggs's Squad or
something like that. So as long as the format's the
same and they go on their impossible missions, you can
change up the cast. They did not, and this is
not really a spoiler, but I will say they did
not set it up where there was an obvious passing
(06:50):
of the baton to a younger character or who was
an up and comer.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
They didn't do that.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
They squandered the passing of the baton that they were
supposed to do with with Hawkeye with Jeremy Renner. Jeremy
Renner was going to be the heir apparent, but then
they said nah, audiences didn't respond and they didn't like
him as much as they we needed for a lead.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
And that also happened with the born identity he is
in for like one movie is like he's maybe he's
not that type of action star where people buy into it.
I mean, I don't mind him as an actor, but
he was just a supporting role in Mission Impossible. I
never saw him as a future leading man for that franchise,
(07:37):
but I still would like to see more from it.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
I would like to visit it.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
The thing about the original the TV show, and I
understand that the movies are not the shows, but I
like the fact that we don't know anything about the
characters in that and there's no explanation for changing Briggs
to Phelps. I like that they just focus on the
mission and the characters are their interior lives, their personal lives.
Those are complete secret from us.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Yeah, yeah, and every once in a while they'll reveal a
little something, they'll give you a little flashback to let
you know about this, that or the other. But by
and large, we don't know anything about Ethan Hunt.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
No, and I don't want to. That's not necessary in
this kind of story.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Yeah, even when he got married, we knew nothing about
the time when he was married. Like, even that was
kindlake frauls I was like, wait, what, you're married? And
he kept that very close to the vest. As all,
we don't know anything about Luther, we know nothing about Benji,
we know nothing about anyone on the squad.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
They made it very a general statement when they came
to the Impossible Mission Force. They were all aspiring criminals
on some level, and they were given a choice. See,
they could you know, go to prison for the rest
of their life, or they could join IMF.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
That's all we really know.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
And since you just rewatched the very first one, what
they did was they did a kind of a spin
on the we will disavalue. That was the staple of
every TV episode. We finally see a mission that fails
and they get disavowed right well.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Not only that, I mean Ethan Hunt got disavowed in
various ways and forms throughout the series. And you know,
I can think of at least four movies in which
he was disavowed.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Nobody wants to get disavowed.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Now, and you would think of a certain point, it's
like Ethan. They don't they're not into you, they don't
want you. They keep trying to throw you away, and
they keep betraying you, and he keeps on coming back
for more.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Yeah, he's not going to get an interview with Eddie Murphy.
He had to go there. I had to go day
five waiting for Eddie. It's Later with mo Kelly I
AM six forty. We're lived everywhere in the iHeart Radio app.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
And when we come back, we're going to tell you
about a seven year infection allegedly, but you won't believe
how someone caught it allegedly.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Forty KFI forty.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
It is Later with mo Kelly live on YouTube, Instagram
and the iHeartRadio App. And relationships are an imperfect thing.
Sometimes you have a bad breakup or you can have
a bad fart in your face. They're not mutually exclusive.
Wait what Yeah, Christine Connell, she's on TikTok. She's an influencer,
so take it for what it's worth. But she since
(10:12):
made her profile private, Otherwise I'd play the audio for you.
But she's claimed that she's been battling in an infection
for seven years because her boyfriend at the time no
longer Her boyfriend farted in her face, that's what she's saying.
She says it all goes back to an incident in
(10:34):
a hotel room seven years ago. She spoke about how
her ex boyfriend and how he got the ultimate breakup
revenge on her a mobile and laying in bed, her
boyfriend at the time farted terribly to the point where
she couldn't breathe as a result of the stink. She
was a mobile because she was nursing an ankle injury,
as she says.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
She says that she's.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Been dealing with a thick green snot and a fever,
and her symptoms prompting her to have a number of
tests and scans in an attempt to figure it out.
Numerous medical professionals couldn't work out the cause of her infection,
but she finally announced the results of the culture tests
in this video, which is now no longer public saying
it was E coli and if you don't know, you
(11:16):
can catch E coli from poop and feces and if
you don't wash your hands and that kind of thing.
And I guess the fart was a little bit more
than just a fart, yes, and.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
It ended up in her mouth.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Infections, according to doctors, can take place when you ingest
bacteria from poop that can contaminate food, drink surfaces, or
not washing your hands thoroughly. Yeah, I said all that, yes,
quote this is what she said. His butt was facing
me and that is when the fart happened. Raw butt
or underwear butt? Now, could you please use the proper terminology.
This was a crop dusting incident.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Crop so that's a raw. Sounds like a direct raw,
but it seems like it's raw. It seemed like yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Yeah, So all that matter got straight into her face
and this probably this particulate matter on her lips and everything.
She can probably taste some of it. Yeah, and it
was really really bad, So I'm telling what was before.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Yeah, she said, as one of the worst that she
smelled in her life. I can't personally. Yeah, well, yeah,
I mean, her nose was basically right there. It could
also have been a Dutch oven incident. You want to
explain what a Dutch oven is for that?
Speaker 6 (12:27):
Do not?
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Actually no, okay, don't he like covers for the Dutch oven? Yeah?
This so I thought was out in the open. Oh
I see, Okay, she was.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
Laying there and he basically uh, positioned himself over her face.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Yeah, gave her one. Now are they still together? No?
They are not. That much is clear. Now.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
I don't know this was the reason which led to
the breakup, but it played a role from what it
seems like the way she describes it probably didn't help
because she described it as break up revenge. So it
seems like she broke up with him and he got
the last laugh because she's dealt with the Ecali science
infection or something for the past seven.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Years, the last two but like, yes, yes, yes, go ahead,
come on.
Speaker 7 (13:16):
That sounds psychotic because she was had a swollen or
broken ankle.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Well, she is alleging that it was not intentional, but
at the same time she blames him for her predicament.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Wait, so this was like misery and she and she
was hobbled and the guy just took advantage.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
That doesn't even make sense.
Speaker 7 (13:38):
Yeah, because that that's I mean, when you're getting infection,
that's you're right up in there.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
I mean, he didn't walk by in just absolute and
she just was like sitting up and was like, oh, babe,
can you give me some pop?
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Here's the quote quote his butt was facing me and
that is when the fart happened though close quote though.
She also said that it was not intention and that
she was just in the path of the fart.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
That doesn't make sense, like a chemtrail. So like, is
he on the wake I don't know, on the way
to the shower, and she was bending down to like
ten turned ankle. She looks up and says, hey, when
you go to the rescue, can you give.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Me some And and just I don't have a diagram
because if she's laying in the bed, let's say she's
on her back, yes, and her head is towards the headboard.
I don't know how exactly his ass got to be
in her face.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
We need some kind of forensic reenactment of this. I'm
having trouble picturing now.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
I mean, maybe maybe mark.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
She was laying aside ways on the bed, maybe she's
laying sideways and one.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Like she was facing the alarm clock and he just
walked up to the clock or something and was.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Kind of like maybe bent over to get something out
the bottom drawer. It's not the alarm you were looking
for her man accidentally facing her. I'm just trying to
figure out how this could have been, trying to figure
out anything and why it was so wet. You assume
that it was wet. We can ascertain it was wet,
but she did note it could have been dry flakes.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
It could have been dry flakes, It could have been
just aromatic. We know that there was particulate matter in
this because she ingested some of this. If you believe
her and he is the reason for the E coli,
I can say that.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
You know, as a dude, you get to a certain
age you best not just trusted to be dry, You.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Better not trusted.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
I was told you don't trust the fart after forty,
you know, and you know that extends beyond fifty as well.
But why are we blaming the victim here? She did
not commit the act. She was the recipient of the act.
Let's blame him. This could be believe woman in this case.
I absolutely believe her.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
I believe that his grotesque naked buttock's self probably probably
was tired of her. Whatever he felt in his mind,
She's sitting here, her ankles all broke. We were supposed
to go to the game, and now we can't. You
know what I got for her, these inch alas I
had last night.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
I wonder did he ever apologize? Of course he didn't.
Of course he did. Is there any adequate apology for that?
By the way, this would have made a fantastic episode
of House?
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Yes, well, yeah, absolutely, So what is she in for?
Speaker 3 (16:25):
We need to do?
Speaker 1 (16:26):
What?
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Yeah? Yet?
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Swabber eyes or nose or mouth?
Speaker 2 (16:32):
It's Later with mo Kelly Cay if I answer this
forty life everywhere in the I Heart Radio at.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
And as I said earlier in the show, this is
going to be about Bill Maher. I don't watch Real
Time with Bill Maher because he's just not my cup
of tea. But every once in a while a clip
of something he does comes across my desk or gets
in the news, and it has me investigate. So this
is what I want to talk about tonight, Bill Maher.
(17:05):
First and foremost, he's a comedian. He is always going
for the joke. He is also a provocateur, meaning he
is also looking to make people feel uncomfortable. And that's
fine because that's what he does. But it doesn't mean
that he is above critique. On his Friday edition of
Real Time with Bill Maher, in his New Rules segment,
(17:25):
he touched upon the Ditty trial. You know, he made
some jokes about Diddy and said he was a horrible guy.
But not surprisingly, he pointed most of his ire at
Cassie Ventura specifically, and female accusers more generally.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
In this post MeToo world. Here's just a snippet of it.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
I'm aware that it can be difficult to leave an
abusive relationship. Most of what I watch on TV is
the Lifetime channel. But but this should be society's new
grand bargain. We take every accusation seriously, but don't tell
me any more about your contemporaneous account that you said
(18:08):
to two friends ten years ago. Tell the police right away,
don't wait a decade, don't journal about it, don't turn
it into a one woman show, and most importantly, don't
keep fam.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Bill Maher as exhibit a as to why women then
and now are apprehensive about coming forward because what woman
wishes to be both not believed and ridiculed, with her
name and abuse serving us the punchline for comedians what woman.
Bill Maher conveniently left out that Cassie Ventura did try
to leave multiple times, once was even caught on tape.
(18:43):
She was punched, kicked, and dragged back to her hotel
room by her hair in broad daylight. The hotel security
was bought off and the tape buried. That was just
one beating which happened to be caught on video, and
it still didn't matter even when it happened. Mar has
since seen that video as you have, as I have,
and it still didn't matter, and he still blames the victim.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
That's what she got for coming forward.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Kid Cuddy's car was firebombed, Ventura's family was threatened allegedly,
and Cassie's supposed to think that her life and her
family's lives are not variables in how she comes forward
or when she comes forward. Mar also conveniently leaves out
that New York had to change the law for Ventura
to come forward when she did in the form of
(19:29):
the New York Adult Survivors Act. It was a confluence
of events, the law, the surface video, the whole frickin'
metob movement, and did he actually being remanded to prison
and not out on bail for Cassie to testify because
the same mother father who dragged her by her hair
could have been a threat to her if he wasn't
(19:50):
still in prison.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
But Bill doesn't want to talk about that.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Bill wants us to make sure that he likens abuse
and trapped women to a day watching the Lifetime channel.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
How was America supposed to.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Take domestic violence claim seriously when mar himself and his
platform use them as a punchline. Yes, the world has
changed in the past ten years, no one can deny that.
But you know who actually has not changed, Bill Maher.
Here's just a sampling of the mar headlines which give
you a sense of where Bill Maher keeps landing on
(20:24):
these very same issues.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Again, these are just the headlines. Quote.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Bill Maher flat out believes Woody Allen amids sexual abuse allegations,
slams actors who regret working with him.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Bill Maher thinks Louis c.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
K should be welcomed back despite sexual misconduct charges. Real
Time with Bill Maher sued over allegations of sexual harassment.
Bill Maher under fire for nineteen ninety eight comments condoning
sex between the thirty five year old woman and twelve
year old boy, condoning Rose McGowan accuses Bill Maher of
making sexual remark to her on his show. In the
(21:03):
nineteen nineties, Bill Maher sued by Laura Lumer for one
hundred and fifty million dollars over Donald Trump affair allegations.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Do you notice the pattern? Do you?
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Because I sure as hell do men get the pass,
women get the blame. Oh you didn't hear me. Men
get the pass, Women get the blame. There is no
equivocation between Diddy and Cassie none. There is only one
person on trial, Sean Combs, and that trial isn't even
(21:34):
on radio, TV or being streamed. The defense hasn't even
started with their presentation. And here is Bill out here
freelancing without even the pertinent facts which are not in dispute,
and he is telling Cassie indirectly to stop effing him.
Bill Maher is not on the side of women and
(21:54):
he never will be, so he should be the last
person we should listen to about what's best for women.
He is why many women do not come forward dudes
just like him. For KFI AM six forty, I'm Mokelly.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty
