Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
And this was a very interesting weekend, this President's Day
weekend for theaters in America. We long discussed the lead
up to this weekend for the debut of Captain America
Brave New World. It had been savaged by i'll call
them critics. It was review bombed by a lot of
(00:29):
trolls obviously who had not seen the movie. And despite that,
Captain America Brave New World garnered two hundred million dollars worldwide,
two hundred million in his first weekend. And it's an
estimate because the full numbers four Monday are not in
those just an estimate for Monday. It did about one
(00:50):
hundred million domestically, maybe ninety five million or so internationally,
just remembering off the top of my head. And I
say that to say, even though the movie was pre
criticized because really no one had seen it, even though
there was a lot of hate for Anthony Mackie as
being a quote unquote black Captain America, not knowing the
(01:12):
history of the Captain America character and how this pretty
much is straight from the comics, and not knowing that
the movie addresses everything which everyone was saying about the
movie and the pressure of not only him carrying the
mantle of Captain America, but also the character of Sam
Wilson becoming Captain America. It was very, very insightful because
(01:37):
it was basically speaking to America about America and how
people were going to look at him differently in the
way that the trolls and critics were already negatively looking
down upon him before they'd even seen the movie.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
But the people have spoken.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
It's the most widely viewed Captain America movie that's been
four so far in its first weekend of all, better
than any Chris Evans movie period, point blank in a story.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Yep, Now, this one came in beating out even Captain
America Civil War with fewer theaters. With fewer theaters, and
Civil War was one of the most anticipated MCU movies
to date because it was essentially another Avengers film, and
it had the Avengers fighting off of facing off against
(02:27):
each other, and it had the introduction of Spider Man.
And still with all of the hate going into it,
this film triumphed over even those numbers. And it's not
to say that Civil War was instellar or still one
of my favorite films out of every Marvel film. Captain
America The Winter Soldier. This film just excelled in spite
(02:53):
of in spite.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Of now what happens is people are probably not going
to ignore I said it wasn't a great movie content wise.
I saw this for a second time yesterday, and since
I was not tired, and also we were in a
smaller theater and I was closer to whatever the sound
system was, I heard more of the dialogue, some that
(03:15):
I actually missed in the first movie.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
I appreciated it more, caught more of.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
The easter eggs, the subtleties of the character dialogue, facial expressions,
little things like that may be appreciated more. I think
in the long view of history, this movie will be
much more appreciated down the road than it is now
in the same way. And I give credit to you
Twaller reminding me that the movie now, which is thought
to be the best MCU movie of all time, Captain
(03:43):
America the Winter Soldier, was not well received when it
first came out.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
It was not It was not a successful film at
the box office at all, and it wasn't because people
thought it was too serious. They thought it was too political.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I've always appreciated the serious tonality of that movie, and
I always wanted Marvel to return to that series because
it got so silly with Thor Love and Thunder, even
Thor Ragnarok.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
It was moving down.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
This place, moving to this place of everything needed to
be a joke or a one liner, where Captain America
Winter Soldier was a much more grounded story with political
intrigue and there was also international.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Subterfused.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
It just had all the classical elements of a thriller
which happened to have enhanced individuals. And this movie talks
about the geopolitical repercussions of something that's going on. I
don't want to give away too much which could lead
to an actual world war. And even though it may
deal with some fantastical elements and people, you understood the
(04:55):
underlying political fault lines.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
It just made sense. But I love them.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Most about this film, and even about Anthony Mackie, the
actor stepping up into an EP role executive produced in
this film to help see it come to fruition, is
that this film Love It or Hated is the anchor
for this next phase of the entirety of the MCU.
(05:20):
Everything that happens in the Marvel Cinematic Universe moving forward
stems from this film. This is the jump on point
for anyone who wants to know about what's about to happen.
This film sets it up. This film sets up the
search for the next Avengers. This film sets up the
next big bad thing that is coming to the Marvel
(05:41):
Cinematic Universe. This film was important for all types of reasons,
both seen on screen that were implicit and those that
were in the underlying.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Story that was being told.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Now, I know that Mark Ronner and I were closer
to the review or feeling about the movie. Mark, do
you think you'll see it again to get give it
a second shot?
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Or you pretty settled in your thought about it.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
No, a movie that I wouldn't see again because it
sucked would be something like The Eternals. I'll see Captain
America Brave New World again. I think that I didn't
love it as much as Twala. I thought it was
kind of not their best, not their worst, just a
decent middle movie. And it does set up a lot
of things, and you can't view it.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
It's not a starter movie.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
It's not an entry level movie, so you've got to
see at least three or four other things to even
make sense of it. I mean, let's be honest, I'm
gonna go see this stuff one way or the other.
It's not my favorite, but of course some at some
point I'll watch it again. And that's something I think
people need to not lose sight of. Each successive Marvel
movie has more obstacles to overcome, if only because to
(06:55):
your point, Mark, the entry point is such that there's
required reading. To appreciate a lot of the movies. You
have to know the character backstories. You have to know
the MCU Big Picture backstory.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
You can't walk into Captain America, Brave New World and
not know what happened in Infinity War and Endgame. To
know how Sam Wilson got the Shield. You have to
know why there are no Avengers now. You have to
have seen The Incredible Hulk back in two thousand and
eight to understand the events in this particular movie.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
For me, I've seen all the movies.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
It makes sense, all the Easter eggs, all the threads great,
but I can't assume that everyone has.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
Yeah, there are two sides to that coin. On one hand,
if you're a nerd, you like all the references, you
like seeing some things come to fruition, like characters from
that two thousand and eight movie. But if you're just
a civilian and you just want to go have an
easy couple hours watching a movie, you're not going to
know everything that's going on in this. By the way,
I absolutely love Captain America the Winter Soldier, and I
(07:55):
see that its final box office total was seven hundred
and fourteen million bucks. That may not be the all
time highest grossing of the Marvel movies. It's far from right, right,
But I mean it's not embarrassment either, Like no, I
mean it's like, it's not but those numbers for the
MCU proper, because Craven is a Sony film. For the
(08:16):
MCU proper, seven hundred million was not a win for them.
It just wasn't and it was looked at as somewhat
a failure, and everyone went into Civil War thinking sure, whatever,
because there were Civil War. I mean, Winter Soldier became
a cult favorite. People who watched it again and again
(08:39):
were like, no, dude, you're missing how great this film is.
Because of all the things that they were doing with
the character. People went back to explore it with this
film for me, and I've seen it now three and
a half times. I say three and a half because
I came in late for the third showing. I like
this film more and more every time I watch it,
(09:00):
because upon rewatching, I see more nuanced and subtle things
that are being said and done that hit differently when
I see the big pit. I'm watching it this third time,
I was like, hey man, there are a couple of
things that offended me greatly that I didn't really see
the first couple of times because I was too busy
trying to catch Easter eggs or look at action sequences
(09:21):
and things like that.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
We were at a smaller theaters, more personal. There were
fewer people, so there were fewer things competing with our attention.
Crowd cheering or talking over scenes, but we didn't have that,
So yeah, you could hear the dialogue and the subtleties
of the dialogue better.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
I think, Oh, I want to know what these things are,
but you'll have to tell me off the arts.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
So they didn't spoil it for anybody. I was.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
I'm like, mo, I was awake through the whole movie.
What are you talking about? I did not record you snoring,
but next time, I very well, man, that's a rumors,
that's slanderous. No, no, it's a first hand witness account.
I was right next to you. You're not saying it
under eth so I know that you'll lie. Would have
been blowing my hair back if I was just right
in front of you.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
See that.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
That's that's that's the defamatory in nature, and I expect better.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
It's not defamatory because it's true. No, you can't polygraph
me and it would be true. Yes, yes, I'm sure.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Okay, all right, Well it's your word against mine, but
my word holds more weight since you're the one who
was asleep.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
No, you were away alleged asleep, but I know I
was not asleep.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Do you have any other corroborating evidence.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
Well, let's see, I believe Twala was sitting on the
other side of your honor.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
And also it's another way to testify for Tuala and
it's another first half week. I I it was so loud.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Iway iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
kf I AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
You know I love cruises. I converted Twala to fall
in love with cruises. Mark Ronner is not going to happen.
We'll see about Stefan. But there are a lot of
questions that I usually get from people who've never been
on a cruise as far as what their real experience
is like. It's built as something which is very luxurious
or all sorts of fun, but what is it really Well,
(11:11):
there are some crazy parties among cruisers, you know, there
are groups who get together and get the freak on.
The groups are just friends and they want to just
have a good time, old, young. Some cruises cater to
children or or families, i should say, and there are
some cruises which say, no, we don't want kids.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
We offer a more adult experience.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
But the questions that I would get and other people
get as far as what can you bring on a
cruise ship? Some of the questions are pretty ridiculous and outlandish,
and some are pretty insightful because it's a real question,
And a question that I saw in this article is
one that I've heard from other people as far as
(11:55):
what you can and can't bring on a cruise ship.
Mind you, it varies from cruise line to cruise line.
The subtleties. But there are people who have wondered, can
you bring an iron on a cruise ship? No, you're
not supposed to, and if they find it, like when
they're cleaning your stateroom, they'll confiscate it. You know, Can
(12:18):
you bring on marijuana because it's legal in California though
you can't. It's illegal in international waters, So if they
find it, they'll confiscate it, and it's possible that you'll
be detained or at least put off the ship. But
other people have asked, can you bring sex toys? Battery
operated sex toys because some types of batteries are not
(12:40):
allowed to travel, Like you can't get on an airplane
with a lithium battery in your under your check luggage
because it may explode or catch fire. As far as
cruise ships are concerned. Carnival and I love, I do
not love Carnival. I love Royal Caribbean. Carnival and Royal
Caribbean are somewhat different. Carnival will cater to the younger crowd.
(13:05):
Royal Caribbean caters to a bit more sophisticated and virgin voyages.
I have yet to try it, but I hear is
very good. There are no kids on Virgin Voyages, and
the ship's general store on Virgin Voyages has a wall
of sex toys for sale. I did not know that
(13:25):
we're just talking about nevermind, but if you're wondering can
you sneak one of your own personal sex toys on
a cruise, Well, there's some things that you should know
and be aware of. It's not explicitly prohibited, but just
know that whatever you take on a cruise ship is
(13:45):
going to be scanned, and there is a possibility if
it's not clear what the item is when it is scanned,
you will have to open up your bag and.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Explane what the object is.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
If they're not clear, then you have to demonstrate on
some level so they know it is what you say
it is.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
Okay, I have questions here before you start. Oh, a
lot of people do This is important and you can
answer this, however delicately you feel like you need to.
How thoroughly do they search you for this stuff?
Speaker 2 (14:19):
As far as the screening, I think it's more thorough
than what you would find at an airport. In other words,
they will run your bag a few times. If you
have a bottle, they're going to make sure that it's
hasn't been open, like you can't bring you can bring
like one bottle of wine on the ship with you
for you know, when you set sale.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
That's generous of them. Do they search the Do they
give you the full cavity search.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
No, they don't do that.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
It's not like you have to walk through the scanning
machine and put your arms above you and the thing
goes around you.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
They don't threaten you with an MRI. They don't do that.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
But you do have to walk through a conventional metal detector.
Oh okay, I was gonna be my question, like where
do they check it? Because I think when I check
in the hotels and vain, it's like I'm not checking
your stuff.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Don't worry. Foosh, the old prison wallet's safe.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
No, before you even get on the ship, they have
this large setup. It's kind of like if an airport
you have four or five lines or people taking the luggage,
put it on that same kind of scanner belt and
it goes to the machine. But if you have a
sex toy, everyone's gonna know. Don't think that you're just
going to put it in your bag and no one's
going to know. There is a distinct possibility that that toy,
(15:28):
if it should resemble a body part or something else,
there may be a question as to what it is,
and depending on who's scanning it, they may verbally question
you and then they may ask you to remove it
from the bag, or they will remove it from the
bag because they're not going to let you touch the bag.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
They'll remove it from the bag to see it is
what it is.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
For example, when I put my bags on the conveyor
belt for some reason, they said, mister O Kelly, are
these are you vaping? I say, I don't vape. I
don't smoke, like are you?
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (16:01):
I'm sure I don't smoke. I've never vaked. I don't
know what you're looking at. Do we have permission to
open your bag and look at the back? So I
don't know what they thought they were looking at, but
it wasn't a vate pin. But just imagine if you
had a vate pin in there. Do you want everybody
to see your vake pin. I'll choose carefully when you're
packing your quote vape pen.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
That's right. So word to the wise.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
They are not discouraged from being taken on a cruise ship,
but just know you're not guaranteed the privacy that nobody
will know that you have them on a cruise ship.
You might do better to just go ahead and do
virgin voyages and purchase your toy while on the ship
(16:45):
and no one has to know, with the exception of
the person not the register. I don't know what that's like,
but that's probably an uncomfortable moment.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Yeah, can I have the big thing over there on
the wall? No? No, no, the big one? Get the
brown one? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (16:59):
Forcing you to buy the sex toys on the ship
and just talk about getting you coming and going, that's
just hello, get you what?
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Come on? Foosh?
Speaker 6 (17:09):
He doesn't care. We're gonna take that away from you.
But I guess back good. Just going back to the alcohol,
I guess it doesn't really make sense because if you
get the drink package, you're set for the whole trip.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Right. But let me tell you about the drink package.
And that's what. I won't call it a scam, but
it's a scam.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
The drink package you can get like just sodas and
normal soft drinks, beverages.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
That's one drink package to all. It doesn't drink.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
That's what he got and that allows you to give
you their own special cup. You can go to any
of the soda fountains whatever and get refills ad infinitum.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
That's one drink package.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Or you can get the all you can drink alcoholic package,
and we did that the first couple of crews. And
then you realize you're never gonna actually drink that much.
You're gonna have seven or eight drinks in a day,
and I tried it, and then you realize, wait a minute,
these drinks aren't full full strength because you you can't.
You would pass out if they were full strength. And
(18:04):
then you realize they're watered down to a certain degree.
It's the truth, it is, and also because they don't
want people too uncontrollably drunk in an atmosphere and an
enclosed situation like that.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
How much more does the all you can drink package
usually cost? I think it's like that.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
It's about one hundred dollars a day, So it depends
if you're on a three day cruise or a seven
day cruise, if I if I remember correctly.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
What would Hunter s Thompson too? That's the question.
Speaker 6 (18:33):
You should always ask that, And that's but you don't
pay for each individual drink.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
What do you pay one hundred You've got a card
over it at Lea's like six hundred and seventy five dollars.
It's an arbitrary amount, and you you sign up for
that before you get on the ship. Yes, you can
buy it when you're on the ship, but especially do
it beforehand. And it's encoded on your your your C
pass and it's like a driver's license, has a metal
black strip and they scan it when you go because
(19:00):
you're not using money. You don't use money on the ship.
You just use your cpass card. And I remember to
all being so excited about that. He's like, wait, really, yeah,
you can just take a sandwich whenever you see it,
you see it, you just take it. You see eat,
drink whatever. It's a great experience in that way, especially
if you're a glutton, because you eat as much as
you want, you can drink as much as you want.
And I guess you can, you know, do whatever you
(19:21):
want in your cabin. But just know, if you're going
to bring a sex toy, there's a good chance that
everyone else may find out as well, and that could
be a little bit uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
So they say you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly
on demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Hey, I meant to ask Stefan for the homework assignment
watching Paradise on Hulu.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Yes, are you past episode two?
Speaker 1 (19:45):
No?
Speaker 6 (19:46):
I had a lot of WiFi as as I couldn't
watch anything almost like the whole weekend, So it's pretty
bummed out. But I had someone come in today before work,
and now it should be working. So I'm definitely gonna
get get back on that horse because I I really
want to keep going. Like I said, I'd probably end
up watching all of them that are available because it's Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Hey, Mark, you are up to date. I think the
next episode drops. I think it's out now. It drops
at midnight East Coast time, if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Oh, then I got to watch that tonight. Yeah, I
want to do that tonight.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
And Tula I think hasn't started yet, but I'm still
working on him.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
I will because it sounds exceptionally exciting. I just, you know,
I am realistically, I'm like, when I leave here, I
don't have like the bandwidth to watch anything, and like
when the weekends come, you know, I spent this past
weekend watching Brave in the world. So it's like, that's
(20:41):
about the span of a titch I have right now.
It's tough watching stuff right now. All right, just eventually
I need you to turn you in your assignment. I
will want to fail you all except for Mark. Mark
completed the assignment. Yeah, it really pains me to admit
that you're right about something. But it's a terrific show.
And hopefully, and I said this, it sticks the landing.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
It's one thing to be fast out the gate and
you have this great setup and charactered and story development.
But if you can't stick the landing, then it's all
for not. It's almost like you have this great gymnastics
routine and literally you know, as the metaphor goes, you know,
if you don't, if you dismount and you fall on
your head, well if yeah, we're kind of in lost
(21:22):
territory with this. If they mess up the ending, then
they deserve our enmity for life.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
But Loss messed up the ending.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
I'm not so sure this one season is going to
have an ending or just a cliffhanger.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
For the potential second season, Yeah, we don't know what's
going to happen. And that's thrilling until they screw.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
It up right right, and it doesn't take much to
lose an audience.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Now they have been.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
I'll say, artful enough to keep streaming me along in
a good way.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
I think it's going one direction, then all of.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
A sudden, it goes in a completely opposite direction. I
thought this person was going to do X win actuality.
It was why, And I was not even looking at
why any of the time. So it's had very good misdirection,
but believable misdirection. Yeah, they take like solid I mean
you just again, I always have the first one. But
they take hard left and right turns where you don't
(22:15):
even like, oh, that's where we're going now, I thought
we were going in a completely different direction. Yes, and
and I don't mind that, so long as you didn't
lie to me along the way, or you make it
unbelievable along the way. Don't make it like this person
over here did X, Y and Z when it was
absolutely way beyond their capability, their their sphere of influence,
(22:37):
their intelligence. No, no, that's it's not like plot twists
for the sake of plot twists. They're just very slowly
rolling out the story and you find that you are
making assumptions about characters all your own when there's no
reason to. But you are falling into your preconceived notions,
and then you get smacked with the hey, you know,
(22:59):
you assume that we didn't tell you that, you assume
that this character was incapable of ecks y and c.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Is it like Lost? I know you've referenced Lost a
couple of times, now is it like Lost?
Speaker 5 (23:10):
In some respects, especially in the flashbacks, because they've got
a linear story, but to make sense of it, they
have to go back and look at character I guess
origins for lack of a better word.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Right, these characters are together in this situation and you
don't know much about them, so they have to employ
the use of flashbacks to give you a fuller sense
of who they are and why they are the person
they are. At this point when we meet them, we
don't know about so and so in the first episode,
like sepisode he's seen the first episode. We don't know who,
(23:43):
we know their job titles, we don't know who they
are as people. And then you get these relevant flashbacks
to slowly bring you up to date. And it's also
used to forward the story. It's just one of the
best TV shows I've seen in a long time. And
I don't like TV shows if only because more time
and not they reel you in and then they'll get
(24:05):
canceled or you have to wait two three years for
the next season. Now, Mark to basically return the favor
he recommended from to me, I love it, Binge Washing
it like maybe a week or.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
So all three seasons now waiting for season four. You know,
it's just it's a.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Very empty feeling where you don't come to the end
of the story, you come to a stopping point, and
it's different.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
I really enjoy from and I like Harold Parano getting
to be front and center in something because I've liked
him in so many other things over the years, and
this is a great role for him. And I may
have said this before Stephen King had nothing to do
with it, but it's the most Stephen King show you'll
ever see. It feels that way. Which one is it on?
I think it's some paramount plus if I'm on the
(24:50):
same side, MGM type of it two B Mark, No, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 6 (24:57):
No, You're going to say something, Steph. I've thought no,
just that I was trying to figure out what streaming
service wrong. Because I remember when Amy was still here
she said she was really good too, and I was
just like, maybe you should check that one out.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
See this is a perfect example.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
You can't get to everything immediately, and sometimes you have
just to be in the mood to start something and
get into it. Like I went through a real long period,
I just want an action. I just wanted to just escape.
I didn't necessarily want a thriller or anything too serious.
I want to be able to just digest this story,
this two and a half hours and then move on.
(25:31):
And with a series, you're kind of dedicated a little
bit of your life.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
It's a commit Yeah, it's a commitment. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (25:38):
And to all this point too, sometimes I'm like, you know,
at the end of the day, I'm like, a I
can't digest something, so where you have to use a
lot of your brain powers. So it'll usually just be
like a rerun and if I have the energy then
I will check it out. But I totally get where
he's coming from.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Yeah, I say they're trying to like digest something I
have to pay attention to. That's on a lost level
of commitment as far as following characters. I'm like, look,
it sounds spectacular. This is just something that I'm at
the watch when I have a vacation, and I'm like,
during the day, can sit up and just digest it?
Speaker 3 (26:13):
What are you talking about? As President's Day? It's the holiday.
You had something to do today. I had a few
things to do. Yes, Yes, I did have a few
things to do. It's a very short day. It's like
you're a father and you have another job or something
like that. Whole lot, hole, lot going. It's not being
so lazy.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
You'd be a little bit more certive, you know, like
you're didn't your horoscope say something like that, be more organized?
Speaker 4 (26:33):
Sometimes it said, it's actually said the very next thing
you do, make sure you are ready to commit one
hundred percent to.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
It or don't do it. So this is this is
a case in point. Yeah, it's Later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Can if I Am six forty live everywhere in the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
And before we go, I have to tell you about
this message I got over the week. I sent it
out to the fellas so they know about it, but
it highlights someone who really listens to the show and
knows the show. It comes from Stephanie. She hit me
on Instagram. Her Instagram profile is private, so she can
(27:17):
you know, she doesn't have to worry about y'all. Her
Instagram profileist lip flap fix her and she said as follows.
Please tell Twala that a weimo cut me off in
Hollywood today, two lanes were turning from Lobrea into Franklin.
I was in the inner lane and the weim was
in the outer lane. The moment we turned on to Franklin,
(27:39):
the weymo moved into my lane and almost hit me,
cutting me off. But because I knew it was driverless,
I didn't honk or give it a mark runner single
finger salute.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Oh yeah it's nice.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Yeah, it's a nice little shout out. Nice acknowledgment call
back to everything we discussed on the show, and once
again how these weymos are dangerous and a menace.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
There were a.
Speaker 6 (28:05):
Lot out when I was ubering over the week, and
it just trips me out to know that no one's
behind the wheel.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
I always look, it's like, is there anyone by?
Speaker 5 (28:12):
No?
Speaker 6 (28:12):
I always have to like try to see and I'm like, damn,
there's no one in. That's a trip. I mean the
one that I was behind. I was in Santa Monica,
and it drove like overly safe, like it was. We
were in a neighborhood district or neighborhood area, and it
went like no higher than like twenty seven miles an hour.
It stops for a good two to three seconds at
a stop sign, turn signal and everything, and I'm like, well,
(28:35):
that's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
I noticed that as I look at the Waimo driving by,
you can obviously see into the driver's seat, but the
passenger back, the passenger seats, the back seats, they the
windows are usually blacked out, so you can't see who.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
The passenger is, for better or for worse.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
Now, that's when a passenger is in, because when they're
driving and they're there's no passenger, the windows aren't blacked out.
So I think you guys have that feature. I would
like to just I'm just wondering aloud, Cheryl lip Fixer.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
What is her name is Stephanie? Her profile is lip
flap Fixer, lip flap Fixer. I'm wondering if she has
ever been cut off just by a person, or is
this just the first time She's never been cut off
while driving ever, and it just so happened to be Waymo.
I mean, I don't know, said that she would have
hanked and she would have given the runner salute, but
(29:32):
realized since it was a way Moo, realized that it
wouldn't have made any difference and there would have been
no acknowledgement.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
There's there's no need to acknowledge this at all, because
I am sure as lovely a woman as Stephanie is.
I'm sure she's been cut off before and it has
been forced to ron her that this doesn't make it
irrelevant or immaterial. This is nothing to say negative about Waymo.
I was cut off by Waymore. I'm sure you were
cut off by three or four people last week. Is
(30:00):
dangerous and it's gonna get somebody kill.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
No, this is not.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
This is not any level of proof in your case
against way Mod.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
It's not.
Speaker 5 (30:11):
It's dystopian that you would go for that. It's dystopian.
And don't think I failed to notice your attempt to
turn my name into a verb, and.
Speaker 7 (30:22):
She did herself. This is I'm just reading it. Okay,
we're there, Okay, I embraced the horror. No, I resisted
before we get out of here. Here is my final thought.
I didn't acknowledge it earlier.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
You might have heard in the news reports that thousands
of people were protesting in Washington, DC and all around
the country on this being President's Day. People are quote
unquote angry at President Trump and what Elon Musk are doing.
And they're calling this uh a five oh five oh
(30:56):
one movement, which stands for fifty protess fifty states one movement.
Do you all know what I'm getting ready to say?
Can you tell me what I'm getting ready to say.
I understand that some people may not support President Trump.
I understand the anger intellectually at what Elon Musk is doing,
(31:20):
and how he has not been elected, how he has
not been appointed and also confirmed by the Senate as
a member of the cabinet, how he does not constitutionally
have any of the powers that he is using right now,
be it to look at your personal IRS data or
any other data for that matter. I understand why you
(31:43):
are concerned. I understand why you're even angry and quote
this is what one of the organizers said. As far
as the protest was concerned. To oppose tyranny is to
stand behind democracy and remind our elected officials that we,
the people are who they're elected to serve, not themselves.
The events over the past month have been built to
(32:05):
exhaust us, to break our wills, But we are the
American people. We will not break close quote. It's a
nice quote, it's a nice sentiment. But once again, if
you actually were paying attention as an informed voter, Donald Trump,
the candidate and then former president, told you step by
(32:25):
step exactly what he was going to do. That he
was going to bring Elon Musk into his administration, that
he was going to allow Elon Musk to form DOZE,
the Department of Government Efficiency, that it would not be
an official arm of the government. That he was going
to empower Elon Musk to root out government waste quote
(32:46):
unquote wherever that is, and however he was going to
do it, and he had free reign. He said that
before the election, and you know what, you did nothing.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
You did not show up on election day. You were
not there.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Either you stayed home or you had a pro test
vote protests of another kind of people like Jill Stein.
Maybe you thought, like in twenty sixteen that Donald Trump
could not possibly win again, given the events of the
past few years, given the court cases, given the belligerent
behavior in the debate. You thought there was no way
that he could he could win. But he did, and
(33:21):
he told you it advanced what he was going to do.
And you can protest three hundred and sixty five days
of the year in all fifty states, and you can
raise your voices and keep on crying as loud as
you want, and not a g damn thing is going
to change. Why Because the election is over and you
(33:42):
again missed your moment. So whatever happens, you allowed to
happen because you had every opportunity to make sure that
it did not. For KFI AM six forty, I'm O Kelly.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
Well, at least you've decided to listen to KFI. See
you're making progress.
Speaker 7 (34:02):
K f I and k O S T H D
two Los Angeles, Orange County live
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Everywhere on the Art Radio
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
And this was a very interesting weekend, this President's Day
weekend for theaters in America. We long discussed the lead
up to this weekend for the debut of Captain America
Brave New World. It had been savaged by i'll call
them critics. It was review bombed by a lot of
(00:29):
trolls obviously who had not seen the movie. And despite that,
Captain America Brave New World garnered two hundred million dollars worldwide,
two hundred million in his first weekend. And it's an
estimate because the full numbers four Monday are not in
those just an estimate for Monday. It did about one
(00:50):
hundred million domestically, maybe ninety five million or so internationally,
just remembering off the top of my head. And I
say that to say, even though the movie was pre
criticized because really no one had seen it, even though
there was a lot of hate for Anthony Mackie as
being a quote unquote black Captain America, not knowing the
(01:12):
history of the Captain America character and how this pretty
much is straight from the comics, and not knowing that
the movie addresses everything which everyone was saying about the
movie and the pressure of not only him carrying the
mantle of Captain America, but also the character of Sam
Wilson becoming Captain America. It was very, very insightful because
(01:37):
it was basically speaking to America about America and how
people were going to look at him differently in the
way that the trolls and critics were already negatively looking
down upon him before they'd even seen the movie.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
But the people have spoken.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
It's the most widely viewed Captain America movie that's been
four so far in its first weekend of all, better
than any Chris Evans movie period, point blank in a story.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Yep, Now, this one came in beating out even Captain
America Civil War with fewer theaters. With fewer theaters, and
Civil War was one of the most anticipated MCU movies
to date because it was essentially another Avengers film, and
it had the Avengers fighting off of facing off against
(02:27):
each other, and it had the introduction of Spider Man.
And still with all of the hate going into it,
this film triumphed over even those numbers. And it's not
to say that Civil War was instellar or still one
of my favorite films out of every Marvel film. Captain
America The Winter Soldier. This film just excelled in spite
(02:53):
of in spite.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Of now what happens is people are probably not going
to ignore I said it wasn't a great movie content wise.
I saw this for a second time yesterday, and since
I was not tired, and also we were in a
smaller theater and I was closer to whatever the sound
system was, I heard more of the dialogue, some that
(03:15):
I actually missed in the first movie.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
I appreciated it more, caught more of.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
The easter eggs, the subtleties of the character dialogue, facial expressions,
little things like that may be appreciated more. I think
in the long view of history, this movie will be
much more appreciated down the road than it is now
in the same way. And I give credit to you
Twaller reminding me that the movie now, which is thought
to be the best MCU movie of all time, Captain
(03:43):
America the Winter Soldier, was not well received when it
first came out.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
It was not It was not a successful film at
the box office at all, and it wasn't because people
thought it was too serious. They thought it was too political.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I've always appreciated the serious tonality of that movie, and
I always wanted Marvel to return to that series because
it got so silly with Thor Love and Thunder, even
Thor Ragnarok.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
It was moving down.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
This place, moving to this place of everything needed to
be a joke or a one liner, where Captain America
Winter Soldier was a much more grounded story with political
intrigue and there was also international.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Subterfused.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
It just had all the classical elements of a thriller
which happened to have enhanced individuals. And this movie talks
about the geopolitical repercussions of something that's going on. I
don't want to give away too much which could lead
to an actual world war. And even though it may
deal with some fantastical elements and people, you understood the
(04:55):
underlying political fault lines.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
It just made sense. But I love them.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Most about this film, and even about Anthony Mackie, the
actor stepping up into an EP role executive produced in
this film to help see it come to fruition, is
that this film Love It or Hated is the anchor
for this next phase of the entirety of the MCU.
(05:20):
Everything that happens in the Marvel Cinematic Universe moving forward
stems from this film. This is the jump on point
for anyone who wants to know about what's about to happen.
This film sets it up. This film sets up the
search for the next Avengers. This film sets up the
next big bad thing that is coming to the Marvel
(05:41):
Cinematic Universe. This film was important for all types of reasons,
both seen on screen that were implicit and those that
were in the underlying.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Story that was being told.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Now, I know that Mark Ronner and I were closer
to the review or feeling about the movie. Mark, do
you think you'll see it again to get give it
a second shot?
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Or you pretty settled in your thought about it.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
No, a movie that I wouldn't see again because it
sucked would be something like The Eternals. I'll see Captain
America Brave New World again. I think that I didn't
love it as much as Twala. I thought it was
kind of not their best, not their worst, just a
decent middle movie. And it does set up a lot
of things, and you can't view it.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
It's not a starter movie.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
It's not an entry level movie, so you've got to
see at least three or four other things to even
make sense of it. I mean, let's be honest, I'm
gonna go see this stuff one way or the other.
It's not my favorite, but of course some at some
point I'll watch it again. And that's something I think
people need to not lose sight of. Each successive Marvel
movie has more obstacles to overcome, if only because to
(06:55):
your point, Mark, the entry point is such that there's
required reading. To appreciate a lot of the movies. You
have to know the character backstories. You have to know
the MCU Big Picture backstory.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
You can't walk into Captain America, Brave New World and
not know what happened in Infinity War and Endgame. To
know how Sam Wilson got the Shield. You have to
know why there are no Avengers now. You have to
have seen The Incredible Hulk back in two thousand and
eight to understand the events in this particular movie.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
For me, I've seen all the movies.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
It makes sense, all the Easter eggs, all the threads great,
but I can't assume that everyone has.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
Yeah, there are two sides to that coin. On one hand,
if you're a nerd, you like all the references, you
like seeing some things come to fruition, like characters from
that two thousand and eight movie. But if you're just
a civilian and you just want to go have an
easy couple hours watching a movie, you're not going to
know everything that's going on in this. By the way,
I absolutely love Captain America the Winter Soldier, and I
(07:55):
see that its final box office total was seven hundred
and fourteen million bucks. That may not be the all
time highest grossing of the Marvel movies. It's far from right, right,
But I mean it's not embarrassment either, Like no, I
mean it's like, it's not but those numbers for the
MCU proper, because Craven is a Sony film. For the
(08:16):
MCU proper, seven hundred million was not a win for them.
It just wasn't and it was looked at as somewhat
a failure, and everyone went into Civil War thinking sure, whatever,
because there were Civil War. I mean, Winter Soldier became
a cult favorite. People who watched it again and again
(08:39):
were like, no, dude, you're missing how great this film is.
Because of all the things that they were doing with
the character. People went back to explore it with this
film for me, and I've seen it now three and
a half times. I say three and a half because
I came in late for the third showing. I like
this film more and more every time I watch it,
(09:00):
because upon rewatching, I see more nuanced and subtle things
that are being said and done that hit differently when
I see the big pit. I'm watching it this third time,
I was like, hey man, there are a couple of
things that offended me greatly that I didn't really see
the first couple of times because I was too busy
trying to catch Easter eggs or look at action sequences
(09:21):
and things like that.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
We were at a smaller theaters, more personal. There were
fewer people, so there were fewer things competing with our attention.
Crowd cheering or talking over scenes, but we didn't have that,
So yeah, you could hear the dialogue and the subtleties
of the dialogue better.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
I think, Oh, I want to know what these things are,
but you'll have to tell me off the arts.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
So they didn't spoil it for anybody. I was.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
I'm like, mo, I was awake through the whole movie.
What are you talking about? I did not record you snoring,
but next time, I very well, man, that's a rumors,
that's slanderous. No, no, it's a first hand witness account.
I was right next to you. You're not saying it
under eth so I know that you'll lie. Would have
been blowing my hair back if I was just right
in front of you.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
See that.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
That's that's that's the defamatory in nature, and I expect better.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
It's not defamatory because it's true. No, you can't polygraph
me and it would be true. Yes, yes, I'm sure.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Okay, all right, Well it's your word against mine, but
my word holds more weight since you're the one who
was asleep.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
No, you were away alleged asleep, but I know I
was not asleep.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Do you have any other corroborating evidence.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
Well, let's see, I believe Twala was sitting on the
other side of your honor.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
And also it's another way to testify for Tuala and
it's another first half week. I I it was so loud.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Iway iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
kf I AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
You know I love cruises. I converted Twala to fall
in love with cruises. Mark Ronner is not going to happen.
We'll see about Stefan. But there are a lot of
questions that I usually get from people who've never been
on a cruise as far as what their real experience
is like. It's built as something which is very luxurious
or all sorts of fun, but what is it really Well,
(11:11):
there are some crazy parties among cruisers, you know, there
are groups who get together and get the freak on.
The groups are just friends and they want to just
have a good time, old, young. Some cruises cater to
children or or families, i should say, and there are
some cruises which say, no, we don't want kids.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
We offer a more adult experience.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
But the questions that I would get and other people
get as far as what can you bring on a
cruise ship? Some of the questions are pretty ridiculous and outlandish,
and some are pretty insightful because it's a real question,
And a question that I saw in this article is
one that I've heard from other people as far as
(11:55):
what you can and can't bring on a cruise ship.
Mind you, it varies from cruise line to cruise line.
The subtleties. But there are people who have wondered, can
you bring an iron on a cruise ship? No, you're
not supposed to, and if they find it, like when
they're cleaning your stateroom, they'll confiscate it. You know, Can
(12:18):
you bring on marijuana because it's legal in California though
you can't. It's illegal in international waters, So if they
find it, they'll confiscate it, and it's possible that you'll
be detained or at least put off the ship. But
other people have asked, can you bring sex toys? Battery
operated sex toys because some types of batteries are not
(12:40):
allowed to travel, Like you can't get on an airplane
with a lithium battery in your under your check luggage
because it may explode or catch fire. As far as
cruise ships are concerned. Carnival and I love, I do
not love Carnival. I love Royal Caribbean. Carnival and Royal
Caribbean are somewhat different. Carnival will cater to the younger crowd.
(13:05):
Royal Caribbean caters to a bit more sophisticated and virgin voyages.
I have yet to try it, but I hear is
very good. There are no kids on Virgin Voyages, and
the ship's general store on Virgin Voyages has a wall
of sex toys for sale. I did not know that
(13:25):
we're just talking about nevermind, but if you're wondering can
you sneak one of your own personal sex toys on
a cruise, Well, there's some things that you should know
and be aware of. It's not explicitly prohibited, but just
know that whatever you take on a cruise ship is
(13:45):
going to be scanned, and there is a possibility if
it's not clear what the item is when it is scanned,
you will have to open up your bag and.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Explane what the object is.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
If they're not clear, then you have to demonstrate on
some level so they know it is what you say
it is.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
Okay, I have questions here before you start. Oh, a
lot of people do This is important and you can
answer this, however delicately you feel like you need to.
How thoroughly do they search you for this stuff?
Speaker 2 (14:19):
As far as the screening, I think it's more thorough
than what you would find at an airport. In other words,
they will run your bag a few times. If you
have a bottle, they're going to make sure that it's
hasn't been open, like you can't bring you can bring
like one bottle of wine on the ship with you
for you know, when you set sale.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
That's generous of them. Do they search the Do they
give you the full cavity search.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
No, they don't do that.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
It's not like you have to walk through the scanning
machine and put your arms above you and the thing
goes around you.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
They don't threaten you with an MRI. They don't do that.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
But you do have to walk through a conventional metal detector.
Oh okay, I was gonna be my question, like where
do they check it? Because I think when I check
in the hotels and vain, it's like I'm not checking
your stuff.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Don't worry. Foosh, the old prison wallet's safe.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
No, before you even get on the ship, they have
this large setup. It's kind of like if an airport
you have four or five lines or people taking the luggage,
put it on that same kind of scanner belt and
it goes to the machine. But if you have a
sex toy, everyone's gonna know. Don't think that you're just
going to put it in your bag and no one's
going to know. There is a distinct possibility that that toy,
(15:28):
if it should resemble a body part or something else,
there may be a question as to what it is,
and depending on who's scanning it, they may verbally question
you and then they may ask you to remove it
from the bag, or they will remove it from the
bag because they're not going to let you touch the bag.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
They'll remove it from the bag to see it is
what it is.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
For example, when I put my bags on the conveyor
belt for some reason, they said, mister O Kelly, are
these are you vaping? I say, I don't vape. I
don't smoke, like are you?
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (16:01):
I'm sure I don't smoke. I've never vaked. I don't
know what you're looking at. Do we have permission to
open your bag and look at the back? So I
don't know what they thought they were looking at, but
it wasn't a vate pin. But just imagine if you
had a vate pin in there. Do you want everybody
to see your vake pin. I'll choose carefully when you're
packing your quote vape pen.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
That's right. So word to the wise.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
They are not discouraged from being taken on a cruise ship,
but just know you're not guaranteed the privacy that nobody
will know that you have them on a cruise ship.
You might do better to just go ahead and do
virgin voyages and purchase your toy while on the ship
(16:45):
and no one has to know, with the exception of
the person not the register. I don't know what that's like,
but that's probably an uncomfortable moment.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Yeah, can I have the big thing over there on
the wall? No? No, no, the big one? Get the
brown one? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (16:59):
Forcing you to buy the sex toys on the ship
and just talk about getting you coming and going, that's
just hello, get you what?
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Come on? Foosh?
Speaker 6 (17:09):
He doesn't care. We're gonna take that away from you.
But I guess back good. Just going back to the alcohol,
I guess it doesn't really make sense because if you
get the drink package, you're set for the whole trip.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Right. But let me tell you about the drink package.
And that's what. I won't call it a scam, but
it's a scam.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
The drink package you can get like just sodas and
normal soft drinks, beverages.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
That's one drink package to all. It doesn't drink.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
That's what he got and that allows you to give
you their own special cup. You can go to any
of the soda fountains whatever and get refills ad infinitum.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
That's one drink package.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Or you can get the all you can drink alcoholic package,
and we did that the first couple of crews. And
then you realize you're never gonna actually drink that much.
You're gonna have seven or eight drinks in a day,
and I tried it, and then you realize, wait a minute,
these drinks aren't full full strength because you you can't.
You would pass out if they were full strength. And
(18:04):
then you realize they're watered down to a certain degree.
It's the truth, it is, and also because they don't
want people too uncontrollably drunk in an atmosphere and an
enclosed situation like that.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
How much more does the all you can drink package
usually cost? I think it's like that.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
It's about one hundred dollars a day, So it depends
if you're on a three day cruise or a seven
day cruise, if I if I remember correctly.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
What would Hunter s Thompson too? That's the question.
Speaker 6 (18:33):
You should always ask that, And that's but you don't
pay for each individual drink.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
What do you pay one hundred You've got a card
over it at Lea's like six hundred and seventy five dollars.
It's an arbitrary amount, and you you sign up for
that before you get on the ship. Yes, you can
buy it when you're on the ship, but especially do
it beforehand. And it's encoded on your your your C
pass and it's like a driver's license, has a metal
black strip and they scan it when you go because
(19:00):
you're not using money. You don't use money on the ship.
You just use your cpass card. And I remember to
all being so excited about that. He's like, wait, really, yeah,
you can just take a sandwich whenever you see it,
you see it, you just take it. You see eat,
drink whatever. It's a great experience in that way, especially
if you're a glutton, because you eat as much as
you want, you can drink as much as you want.
And I guess you can, you know, do whatever you
(19:21):
want in your cabin. But just know, if you're going
to bring a sex toy, there's a good chance that
everyone else may find out as well, and that could
be a little bit uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
So they say you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly
on demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Hey, I meant to ask Stefan for the homework assignment
watching Paradise on Hulu.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Yes, are you past episode two?
Speaker 1 (19:45):
No?
Speaker 6 (19:46):
I had a lot of WiFi as as I couldn't
watch anything almost like the whole weekend, So it's pretty
bummed out. But I had someone come in today before work,
and now it should be working. So I'm definitely gonna
get get back on that horse because I I really
want to keep going. Like I said, I'd probably end
up watching all of them that are available because it's Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Hey, Mark, you are up to date. I think the
next episode drops. I think it's out now. It drops
at midnight East Coast time, if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Oh, then I got to watch that tonight. Yeah, I
want to do that tonight.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
And Tula I think hasn't started yet, but I'm still
working on him.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
I will because it sounds exceptionally exciting. I just, you know,
I am realistically, I'm like, when I leave here, I
don't have like the bandwidth to watch anything, and like
when the weekends come, you know, I spent this past
weekend watching Brave in the world. So it's like, that's
(20:41):
about the span of a titch I have right now.
It's tough watching stuff right now. All right, just eventually
I need you to turn you in your assignment. I
will want to fail you all except for Mark. Mark
completed the assignment. Yeah, it really pains me to admit
that you're right about something. But it's a terrific show.
And hopefully, and I said this, it sticks the landing.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
It's one thing to be fast out the gate and
you have this great setup and charactered and story development.
But if you can't stick the landing, then it's all
for not. It's almost like you have this great gymnastics
routine and literally you know, as the metaphor goes, you know,
if you don't, if you dismount and you fall on
your head, well if yeah, we're kind of in lost
(21:22):
territory with this. If they mess up the ending, then
they deserve our enmity for life.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
But Loss messed up the ending.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
I'm not so sure this one season is going to
have an ending or just a cliffhanger.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
For the potential second season, Yeah, we don't know what's
going to happen. And that's thrilling until they screw.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
It up right right, and it doesn't take much to
lose an audience.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Now they have been.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
I'll say, artful enough to keep streaming me along in
a good way.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
I think it's going one direction, then all of.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
A sudden, it goes in a completely opposite direction. I
thought this person was going to do X win actuality.
It was why, And I was not even looking at
why any of the time. So it's had very good misdirection,
but believable misdirection. Yeah, they take like solid I mean
you just again, I always have the first one. But
they take hard left and right turns where you don't
(22:15):
even like, oh, that's where we're going now, I thought
we were going in a completely different direction. Yes, and
and I don't mind that, so long as you didn't
lie to me along the way, or you make it
unbelievable along the way. Don't make it like this person
over here did X, Y and Z when it was
absolutely way beyond their capability, their their sphere of influence,
(22:37):
their intelligence. No, no, that's it's not like plot twists
for the sake of plot twists. They're just very slowly
rolling out the story and you find that you are
making assumptions about characters all your own when there's no
reason to. But you are falling into your preconceived notions,
and then you get smacked with the hey, you know,
(22:59):
you assume that we didn't tell you that, you assume
that this character was incapable of ecks y and c.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Is it like Lost? I know you've referenced Lost a
couple of times, now is it like Lost?
Speaker 5 (23:10):
In some respects, especially in the flashbacks, because they've got
a linear story, but to make sense of it, they
have to go back and look at character I guess
origins for lack of a better word.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Right, these characters are together in this situation and you
don't know much about them, so they have to employ
the use of flashbacks to give you a fuller sense
of who they are and why they are the person
they are. At this point when we meet them, we
don't know about so and so in the first episode,
like sepisode he's seen the first episode. We don't know who,
(23:43):
we know their job titles, we don't know who they
are as people. And then you get these relevant flashbacks
to slowly bring you up to date. And it's also
used to forward the story. It's just one of the
best TV shows I've seen in a long time. And
I don't like TV shows if only because more time
and not they reel you in and then they'll get
(24:05):
canceled or you have to wait two three years for
the next season. Now, Mark to basically return the favor
he recommended from to me, I love it, Binge Washing
it like maybe a week or.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
So all three seasons now waiting for season four. You know,
it's just it's a.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Very empty feeling where you don't come to the end
of the story, you come to a stopping point, and
it's different.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
I really enjoy from and I like Harold Parano getting
to be front and center in something because I've liked
him in so many other things over the years, and
this is a great role for him. And I may
have said this before Stephen King had nothing to do
with it, but it's the most Stephen King show you'll
ever see. It feels that way. Which one is it on?
I think it's some paramount plus if I'm on the
(24:50):
same side, MGM type of it two B Mark, No, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 6 (24:57):
No, You're going to say something, Steph. I've thought no,
just that I was trying to figure out what streaming
service wrong. Because I remember when Amy was still here
she said she was really good too, and I was
just like, maybe you should check that one out.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
See this is a perfect example.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
You can't get to everything immediately, and sometimes you have
just to be in the mood to start something and
get into it. Like I went through a real long period,
I just want an action. I just wanted to just escape.
I didn't necessarily want a thriller or anything too serious.
I want to be able to just digest this story,
this two and a half hours and then move on.
(25:31):
And with a series, you're kind of dedicated a little
bit of your life.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
It's a commit Yeah, it's a commitment. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (25:38):
And to all this point too, sometimes I'm like, you know,
at the end of the day, I'm like, a I
can't digest something, so where you have to use a
lot of your brain powers. So it'll usually just be
like a rerun and if I have the energy then
I will check it out. But I totally get where
he's coming from.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Yeah, I say they're trying to like digest something I
have to pay attention to. That's on a lost level
of commitment as far as following characters. I'm like, look,
it sounds spectacular. This is just something that I'm at
the watch when I have a vacation, and I'm like,
during the day, can sit up and just digest it?
Speaker 3 (26:13):
What are you talking about? As President's Day? It's the holiday.
You had something to do today. I had a few
things to do. Yes, Yes, I did have a few
things to do. It's a very short day. It's like
you're a father and you have another job or something
like that. Whole lot, hole, lot going. It's not being
so lazy.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
You'd be a little bit more certive, you know, like
you're didn't your horoscope say something like that, be more organized?
Speaker 4 (26:33):
Sometimes it said, it's actually said the very next thing
you do, make sure you are ready to commit one
hundred percent to.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
It or don't do it. So this is this is
a case in point. Yeah, it's Later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Can if I Am six forty live everywhere in the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
And before we go, I have to tell you about
this message I got over the week. I sent it
out to the fellas so they know about it, but
it highlights someone who really listens to the show and
knows the show. It comes from Stephanie. She hit me
on Instagram. Her Instagram profile is private, so she can
(27:17):
you know, she doesn't have to worry about y'all. Her
Instagram profileist lip flap fix her and she said as follows.
Please tell Twala that a weimo cut me off in
Hollywood today, two lanes were turning from Lobrea into Franklin.
I was in the inner lane and the weim was
in the outer lane. The moment we turned on to Franklin,
(27:39):
the weymo moved into my lane and almost hit me,
cutting me off. But because I knew it was driverless,
I didn't honk or give it a mark runner single
finger salute.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Oh yeah it's nice.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Yeah, it's a nice little shout out. Nice acknowledgment call
back to everything we discussed on the show, and once
again how these weymos are dangerous and a menace.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
There were a.
Speaker 6 (28:05):
Lot out when I was ubering over the week, and
it just trips me out to know that no one's
behind the wheel.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
I always look, it's like, is there anyone by?
Speaker 5 (28:12):
No?
Speaker 6 (28:12):
I always have to like try to see and I'm like, damn,
there's no one in. That's a trip. I mean the
one that I was behind. I was in Santa Monica,
and it drove like overly safe, like it was. We
were in a neighborhood district or neighborhood area, and it
went like no higher than like twenty seven miles an hour.
It stops for a good two to three seconds at
a stop sign, turn signal and everything, and I'm like, well,
(28:35):
that's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
I noticed that as I look at the Waimo driving by,
you can obviously see into the driver's seat, but the
passenger back, the passenger seats, the back seats, they the
windows are usually blacked out, so you can't see who.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
The passenger is, for better or for worse.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
Now, that's when a passenger is in, because when they're
driving and they're there's no passenger, the windows aren't blacked out.
So I think you guys have that feature. I would
like to just I'm just wondering aloud, Cheryl lip Fixer.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
What is her name is Stephanie? Her profile is lip
flap Fixer, lip flap Fixer. I'm wondering if she has
ever been cut off just by a person, or is
this just the first time She's never been cut off
while driving ever, and it just so happened to be Waymo.
I mean, I don't know, said that she would have
hanked and she would have given the runner salute, but
(29:32):
realized since it was a way Moo, realized that it
wouldn't have made any difference and there would have been
no acknowledgement.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
There's there's no need to acknowledge this at all, because
I am sure as lovely a woman as Stephanie is.
I'm sure she's been cut off before and it has
been forced to ron her that this doesn't make it
irrelevant or immaterial. This is nothing to say negative about Waymo.
I was cut off by Waymore. I'm sure you were
cut off by three or four people last week. Is
(30:00):
dangerous and it's gonna get somebody kill.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
No, this is not.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
This is not any level of proof in your case
against way Mod.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
It's not.
Speaker 5 (30:11):
It's dystopian that you would go for that. It's dystopian.
And don't think I failed to notice your attempt to
turn my name into a verb, and.
Speaker 7 (30:22):
She did herself. This is I'm just reading it. Okay,
we're there, Okay, I embraced the horror. No, I resisted
before we get out of here. Here is my final thought.
I didn't acknowledge it earlier.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
You might have heard in the news reports that thousands
of people were protesting in Washington, DC and all around
the country on this being President's Day. People are quote
unquote angry at President Trump and what Elon Musk are doing.
And they're calling this uh a five oh five oh
(30:56):
one movement, which stands for fifty protess fifty states one movement.
Do you all know what I'm getting ready to say?
Can you tell me what I'm getting ready to say.
I understand that some people may not support President Trump.
I understand the anger intellectually at what Elon Musk is doing,
(31:20):
and how he has not been elected, how he has
not been appointed and also confirmed by the Senate as
a member of the cabinet, how he does not constitutionally
have any of the powers that he is using right now,
be it to look at your personal IRS data or
any other data for that matter. I understand why you
(31:43):
are concerned. I understand why you're even angry and quote
this is what one of the organizers said. As far
as the protest was concerned. To oppose tyranny is to
stand behind democracy and remind our elected officials that we,
the people are who they're elected to serve, not themselves.
The events over the past month have been built to
(32:05):
exhaust us, to break our wills, But we are the
American people. We will not break close quote. It's a
nice quote, it's a nice sentiment. But once again, if
you actually were paying attention as an informed voter, Donald Trump,
the candidate and then former president, told you step by
(32:25):
step exactly what he was going to do. That he
was going to bring Elon Musk into his administration, that
he was going to allow Elon Musk to form DOZE,
the Department of Government Efficiency, that it would not be
an official arm of the government. That he was going
to empower Elon Musk to root out government waste quote
(32:46):
unquote wherever that is, and however he was going to
do it, and he had free reign. He said that
before the election, and you know what, you did nothing.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
You did not show up on election day. You were
not there.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Either you stayed home or you had a pro test
vote protests of another kind of people like Jill Stein.
Maybe you thought, like in twenty sixteen that Donald Trump
could not possibly win again, given the events of the
past few years, given the court cases, given the belligerent
behavior in the debate. You thought there was no way
that he could he could win. But he did, and
(33:21):
he told you it advanced what he was going to do.
And you can protest three hundred and sixty five days
of the year in all fifty states, and you can
raise your voices and keep on crying as loud as
you want, and not a g damn thing is going
to change. Why Because the election is over and you
(33:42):
again missed your moment. So whatever happens, you allowed to
happen because you had every opportunity to make sure that
it did not. For KFI AM six forty, I'm O Kelly.

you're making progress.
