WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:05.960
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly
on demand from KFI AM six forty.

2
00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:11.000
And as I get older, I
realize more and more that there are a

3
00:00:11.039 --> 00:00:15.919
lot of movies out there which have
no desire to get my business. They're

4
00:00:15.919 --> 00:00:19.920
not meant for me, they're not
marketed to me, they're not thinking about

5
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:24.280
me. They don't care about me. They're just talking about things or to

6
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:29.399
an age demographic that I'm just I
just don't care. And I realized that

7
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:33.159
when I thought about the movie Challengers, which came in at number one,

8
00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:38.439
and it was a very soft number
one starrings in DAYA about some tittus and

9
00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:42.520
some threesomes or something, and I
have no desire to see it, and

10
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:44.560
not a lot of people saw it, but it still came in at number

11
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:47.520
one. Do you see in your
information how much it made over the weekend?

12
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:50.240
Yes? Fifteen million. Yeah,
that was the upper end of the

13
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:53.719
estimates, I guess. And this
is one of those trailers that just had

14
00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:56.759
the stink of death on it,
because you can tell when you see a

15
00:00:56.799 --> 00:01:00.520
trailer for a movie months and months
and months on end, they don't know

16
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:03.679
what to do with it. I
didn't know what to think about what the

17
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:07.040
movie was actually about. Even though
I saw the trailer, It's like,

18
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:11.840
Okay, is it a threesome?
Is it about tennis? Is it about

19
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.920
tennis threesome? Are they having a
three someme while playing tennis? I don't

20
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:18.879
know. I don't know, something
like that. And I believe the director

21
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:23.319
is Luca Guadagnino, who did that
terrible remake of Suspiria that was pretentious and

22
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:29.719
way too long and not scary like
Suspiria, the original one. So right

23
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:33.400
away, I was glad that we
didn't have a runner report last week because

24
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:36.319
that's probably the one that I would
have had to go see. You gotta

25
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:40.159
think about it. To be number
one in the box office doesn't mean what

26
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:44.519
it used to mean. It's Challengers
is number one, but it wasn't even

27
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:48.200
in thirty five hundred theaters. Usually
a number one movie needs to be in

28
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:52.799
some thirty eight hundred theaters or more. It's very soft in that regard.

29
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:57.760
Number two movie was Unsung Hero.
Which one was that? What is that?

30
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:00.040
That's my point? Wait, that's
a movie came to a number two.

31
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:04.879
We got seven point seven million based
on a remarkable true story, A

32
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:07.719
mom's faith would never say mum is
an mum. It's got to be British.

33
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:13.080
Oh is that the Allen Richson movie
with the woman from a Million Dollar

34
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:15.919
Baby? No, honestly don't know, no, no, no, that's

35
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:19.439
the one that uh we had Tamala
Jones on. You're talking about Mark?

36
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:23.240
Oh yes, yeah, Alan Richson. Yeah, well Hill, this is

37
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:27.159
even more obscure than we all that
was or dairy Miracles. Yeah yeah,

38
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:31.120
okay, okay, Daisy bets Joel's
small bone and carry burd A over there.

39
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:35.840
What language you're speaking? That's the
star is small bones. Those are

40
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:38.919
stars, Those are people in the
movie. It's a difference. Sinday is

41
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:44.080
a star. Those are people in
a movie. Not the same. Now,

42
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:49.360
give you my damn rim shot.
Oh that was very fun very very

43
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:54.599
funny. Number three Godzilla x Kong
The New Empire is still hanging around in

44
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:58.560
its fifth week. It is a
bona fide hit. Yeah, but how

45
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.080
much is it made? For?
More than half a billion? Okay?

46
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:05.039
I mean that's what I mean.
That's it. Okay, it's done better

47
00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:10.159
internationally than domestically one hundred and eighty
one domestically million, three hundred and thirty

48
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:15.599
nine million internationally it crossed a half
billion. Is the biggest movie of the

49
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:21.400
year thus far? Right, No, what is is Doom? Didn't Doom

50
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:23.479
do more than that? Did Dune
come out this year? Yeah? Yeah,

51
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:28.840
okay, okay, well let me
see what doing is? All right?

52
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:32.520
Dune was number nine this week with
two million. Yes, it is

53
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:37.919
doing better. It's seven hundred and
four million worldwide so far. So Dune

54
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:40.000
is the number one movie the year. And you know what, I probably

55
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:43.599
don't want to see that either.
I mean you don't need to. It's

56
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:50.080
probably about as entertaining as this Challengers
movie. What there's no threesome with a

57
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:55.879
giant sand one? Yeah? It
was rough, it was rough, well

58
00:03:55.919 --> 00:04:01.080
done, that was deserved. But
check this out. You know what came

59
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:08.400
in at number eleven? What the
twenty twenty four re release of Alien?

60
00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:13.159
Okay, that's some quality right there? You got that, right, we

61
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:15.920
got that. Didn't Spider Man two
come out and did a gang busters at

62
00:04:15.959 --> 00:04:21.240
the blocks office recently too? I
think? So yeah, yeah, yeah,

63
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:26.600
probably you know, yeah, maybe
they have an extra scene in there.

64
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:30.000
It's not too long ago. They
just released Shrek two as well.

65
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:33.480
So movie studios are getting in the
habit of just re releasing and getting basically

66
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:38.439
some free money. Yeah, I
see Dawn of the Dead had an anniversary

67
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:41.240
three D release in some theaters too, and I was trying to figure out

68
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:44.480
where I could see that. But
that's a good deal, especially like imagine

69
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:46.720
being a father and taking your kids
to see Alien for the first time in

70
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:50.040
a theater. That would be terrific. My father took me to see Alien

71
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:55.480
for the first time in a theater. I am jealous of that, and

72
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:58.759
I got and I got old and
realized that wasn't a good idea. Now

73
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:00.480
by the nightmares for weeks now.
Yeah, my mom took me to see

74
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:04.399
Donna the Dead at a really inappropriately
young age, and it's like one of

75
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:11.439
the few things I remember fondly about
her. That's strange but almost understandable.

76
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:15.600
I don't really think guy can explain
it any further than that, Okay,

77
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:19.759
all right. Also in the top
ten, Civil War dropped from number one

78
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:26.000
to number four. It brought in
seven million this week for a grand total

79
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:30.600
of seventy two million. Who has
fifty six million domestically sixteen million internationally,

80
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:33.079
So the movie is still performing well. I don't remember how much it costs

81
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:36.360
to make it. But it doesn't
seem as if that it's gonna have me

82
00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:40.279
problem making all its money back.
Maybe we'll get a civil war too.

83
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:45.439
You know what, don't say electric
Google either, don't. Oh, I'm

84
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:50.680
just saying, since the movie is
so ambiguous in its origin and ending,

85
00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:57.879
it does leave itself open for more
story to be told. Well, I

86
00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:01.560
mean, okay, it's just barely
made this money back though, because it

87
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:04.120
costs fifty million to make. Yeah, but I'm saying it's only in this

88
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:09.480
third week. It'll be in for
another three weeks probably, ye, come

89
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:12.319
on, Oh, you know movies
are not staying in that long, especially

90
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.680
something as independent as this. Is
not the last another three weeks? Yeah,

91
00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:17.399
yes, well, because it still
has thirty five hundred theaters set.

92
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:20.120
It's in in the last three weeks. Build to rented on Google tomorrow.

93
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:23.480
Yeah, you'll be able to rented. But I'm saying there still will be

94
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:27.360
box office. We'll see, Okay, we'll see, we'll see. What's

95
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:30.519
what's the budget on that fifty fifty
Yeah? Oh okay, I said it

96
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:33.199
just barely clear. No no,
no, no, no, no,

97
00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:39.319
it's it's fifty six million domestically,
it's worldwide seventy two million. Oh okay,

98
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:42.959
yeah, that's what I'm saying.
It's fine, it's fine. Uh

99
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:47.720
but you know, still, overall
big picture, those are very very low

100
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:53.079
numbers. That's not impressive at all
when you think about what movies are usually

101
00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:58.199
doing as we're gearing up now honestly
for the summer movie season. Yeah,

102
00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:01.240
I don't know whether these numbers are
forget well, they're forgettable and it's not

103
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:05.600
inspiring anyone to go to the theater. And there are subtle indicators. I'm

104
00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:10.319
looking at movies which are not in
at least four thousand theaters. Means to

105
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:18.240
me that it wasn't all that highly
anticipated. There wasn't really a desire for

106
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:24.240
movie theaters to carry movies like Challengers
or Unsung Hero only twenty eight hundred theaters.

107
00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:28.519
There's not a lot of box office
excitement right now. And that's the

108
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:32.319
truth. What did you call it? Quick? What's that? Oh?

109
00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:35.480
Yeah, but that's not until July, so they have a long way to

110
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:39.759
go. When we come back,
we're going to review the White House Correspondence

111
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:44.920
Center. I have thoughts on the
hosting job by Colin Jose He was I

112
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:48.759
will say, mostly criticized more than
praise. I had a different opinion.

113
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:54.160
I'm a big Colin Joe's fan.
I thought he just didn't hit any home

114
00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:57.519
runs, but he hit a lot
of singles in doubles. They were funny,

115
00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:01.879
but there weren't like super funny jokes. We'll play some of the audio

116
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:13.600
when we come back with Kelly six. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app

117
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:18.720
And on Saturday was NERD prom the
White House Correspondence Center, and in short,

118
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:22.519
if you're not familiar with what it
is, it's a time in which

119
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:28.040
you'd have the White House Press Corps, the people who are most responsible for

120
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:33.200
covering the presidency and the president.
They get together have a roast. The

121
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:39.200
president usually speaks. You have a
comedian roast to president and roasts the media,

122
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:41.840
and it's a lighthearted event, and
then on Monday they go back to

123
00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:48.840
business as usual. I always tune
in for the comedic roast. It's probably

124
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:52.759
one of the hardest jobs out there
because no one ever kills it, and

125
00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:56.159
everyone is a critic of the comedy, or someone says, well, they

126
00:08:56.159 --> 00:09:01.159
didn't do enough jokes about the president, or they didn't do they didn't go

127
00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:03.759
hard enough, and so forth.
But Colin Joe just got caught in the

128
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:07.759
middle. I would say, I
don't think he did poorly. I just

129
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:11.679
think he didn't go for the jugular
with his jokes. I think he should

130
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:16.200
have gone harder. We're going to
play some of the audio and you can

131
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:18.759
come to your own conclusion if you
haven't already heard it. We're going to

132
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:24.000
play these pretty much in order,
and the audio speaks for itself. I

133
00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:28.159
have to admit it's not easy following
President Biden. I mean, it's not

134
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:35.320
always easy following what he's saying.
Like, but before I begin tonight,

135
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:39.840
can we just acknowledge how refreshing it
is to see a president of the United

136
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:48.039
States at an event that doesn't begin
with a bailiff saying all rise. Eddie

137
00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:54.639
has some thoughts on the news media
wordle is here tonight. Sorry, sorry,

138
00:09:54.639 --> 00:10:01.559
I meant The New York Times forgot. They do stuff in addition to

139
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:07.919
puzzles. I have to say it's
not a great sign when the only thing

140
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:13.360
keeping a print media company alive are
games people play on their phones. Too

141
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:18.720
chilling for you, guys. This
room just froze faster than Mitch Dunnel.

142
00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:24.279
That maybe laugh out loud. I
was good, and I don't think the

143
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:28.840
room was just slow to get it
all right. More on media, The

144
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:33.399
New York Post is like having the
New York Times summarized for you by a

145
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:43.320
crackhead. The Times will say a
border deal continues to evade Congress, and

146
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:50.919
the Post is like, these Mexicans
are taking my stuff. One of the

147
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:56.879
most poignant ones he did was the
race was tied. He said a lot

148
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:03.879
in this one. There is election. There's an election six extremely long months

149
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:07.799
from now. So let me see
if I can summarize where this race stands

150
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:13.799
at this moment. The Republican candidate
for president owes half a billion in fines

151
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:20.519
for bank fraud and is currently spending
his days farting himself awake during a porn

152
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:33.879
star hush money trial. And the
race is tied. The race is tied.

153
00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:41.879
Nothing makes sense anymore. The candidate, who is a famous New York

154
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:46.840
City playboy took abortion rights away,
and the guy who's trying to give you

155
00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:50.799
your abortion rights back is an eighty
year old Catholic. How does that make

156
00:11:50.840 --> 00:12:01.039
sense? All right, there's more
tied. The problem is people are always

157
00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:05.279
going to compare your first term to
Obama's. But I think there are actually

158
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:11.000
a lot of positive similarities. You
both made big strides in healthcare. Obama

159
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:13.799
got us out of a recession.
You got us out of a pandemic.

160
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:28.279
Obama got Bin Lauden, you got
OJ. And by the way, now

161
00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:31.519
that OJ is dead, who is
the new front runner for Trump's VP?

162
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:39.480
Is it Diddy? By the way, I bet if Trump did select Diddy

163
00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:46.919
as his running mate, I bet
this race would still be tied. And

164
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:50.919
he had a nice callback to last
year's election. I would say, last

165
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:54.559
year's news cycle. It's also wonderful
to be back in Washington. I love

166
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:56.639
being in Washington. The last time
I was in DC, I left my

167
00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:03.360
cocaine at the White House. Luckily
the President was able to put it to

168
00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:16.000
good use for a State of the
Union. I'm kidding, of course,

169
00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:26.600
the President doesn't call it cocaine.
He calls it high speed rail. By

170
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:28.600
the way, can you blame the
guy for turning to cocaine? He must

171
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:35.799
be exhausted orchestrating four separate trials against
his rival, rigging the Super Bowl,

172
00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:39.480
and gearing up to steal a second
election. Wow. I love By the

173
00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:43.799
way, that Trump's two attacks on
President Biden are that he's a senile old

174
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:52.360
man and a criminal mastermind. I'm
like, I think you gotta pick one.

175
00:13:54.759 --> 00:14:01.720
Personally, I don't know any criminal
masterminds who bike to get ice cream.

176
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:05.720
He had more. Also, it's
not like Trump himself is young and

177
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:11.919
sharp. I'm not saying both candidates
are old. But you know, Jimmy

178
00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:24.399
Carter is out there thinking I could
maybe win this thing. He's only ninety

179
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:31.919
nine. Oh my goodness, got
one more. But the reason that I

180
00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:35.080
bring up my grandfather. And I
don't know if you know realize, mister

181
00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:43.480
president, but Staten Island firefighters are
not normally your demographic. Staten Island voted

182
00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:46.600
about seventy percent for Trump in the
last election, and the other thirty percent

183
00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:56.559
was for Giuliani. But Staten Island
also sided with the British during the Revolutionary

184
00:14:56.600 --> 00:15:03.759
War, so we're not always on
the right side of history. You remember,

185
00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:11.279
he had some good jokes, but
I don't know if he had any

186
00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:16.480
home run zingers that you would laugh
out loud, belly laugh. I thought

187
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:20.519
there was some, just some decent
last what was your grade, Mark?

188
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:24.960
I thought he absolutely killed it in
a room full of tight asses. By

189
00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:28.159
the way, they were there it
was a tight audience, you said,

190
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:31.480
you said it was nerd prompt and
Colin jo just made a joke that Matt

191
00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:35.759
Gates was just a prom right,
and that made me laugh out loud because

192
00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:41.159
you know Gates has a reputation for
you know, these audience was just dead.

193
00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:45.799
Oh, absolute tight asses. Listen, these journalists, these Washington centric

194
00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:48.519
ones, they have no sense of
humor about themselves, but they are very

195
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:52.240
self important, especially the New York
Times, which got busted last week when

196
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:56.600
it was revealed that it's chairman A. G. Sulzberger was behind this insanely

197
00:15:56.639 --> 00:16:02.279
disproportionate coverage of Biden's agent, not
Trump, because because his nose has been

198
00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:04.279
out of joint that Biden haven't given
that hadn't given them a one on one

199
00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:08.159
interview. Yep, this was leek
last week and Jos had fun with that.

200
00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:11.720
Remember how Michelle Wolfe a couple of
years or so ago, absolutely railed

201
00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:17.320
everyone in her said it was hilarious
and she boyd she had dumped on afterwards,

202
00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:21.399
she called us she but she went
for it more so, oh righteously

203
00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:25.200
and hilariously. She asked him at
one point about Trump, did you all

204
00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:29.840
used to date him? And so
these things are an occasion where it's the

205
00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:33.320
comedian as court jester. They're there
to say uncomfortable, true things and wash

206
00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:37.159
them down with a laugh. And
it turns out a lot of my fellow

207
00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:40.879
journals can be very thin skinned about
that. I mean, get a good

208
00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:45.080
joke about the Washington Post and their
circulation and how they would die to have

209
00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:49.159
a circulation of one hundred thousand.
Oh yeah, look, how dare Somebody

210
00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:55.320
like Colin Jost suggest along with Biden
that these guys haven't risen to the seriousness

211
00:16:55.320 --> 00:16:59.159
of the moment, or or that
they've fallen back on horse race coverage instead

212
00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:02.559
of informing people of the stakes and
the elections they're covering, or the too

213
00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:06.359
many of them are concerned with access
and pimping their own books instead of giving

214
00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:10.440
the public information that needs to know. Dare, who does he think he

215
00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:15.880
is? I thought it was a
really like a solid A minus B plus.

216
00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:19.039
I thought it was I would say
a B minus. I don't because

217
00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:26.160
I know his predecessors went harder and
were more direct. Okay, so you

218
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:30.079
like Michelle Wolfe, that was an
a to you? Yes, what about

219
00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:33.599
Stephen Colbert and Bush? I rewatched
that watched Stephen Colbert. I thought roy

220
00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:37.160
Wood was very good. He was
he was solid. He wasn't my favorite.

221
00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:41.799
The thing you got to remember is
that people, the comedians react differently

222
00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:45.640
to different presidents. Like when Colbert
did his, it was in the context

223
00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:51.599
of nobody saying boo to George W. Bush, and so he had nerves

224
00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:56.000
of steel. But then by the
time Obama took office, people were right

225
00:17:56.079 --> 00:18:00.640
up in Obama's grill from day one
in ways they never were with Yeah,

226
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:04.319
I didn't like Larry Willmore's one.
I remember that. I remember not liking

227
00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:07.319
that one at all, and he's
probably listening, but oh well, I

228
00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:11.279
remember it being about okay, but
it didn't just kill me. Yeah,

229
00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:15.359
I expect the comedian to really really
go there, and Colin Joe's didn't really

230
00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:18.279
go there. He had his age
jokes and he had the tripping up the

231
00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:23.119
stairs jokes, but I thought he
would just really, I mean just really

232
00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:27.519
a little bit more searing in the
commentary, and he never quite got there.

233
00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:30.920
For me, That's all I was
looking for. I wonder if if

234
00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:33.599
some of the comics are sort of
gun shy. After Michelle Wolf got just

235
00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:37.559
completely stomped on afterward, maybe I
think that might be some of it.

236
00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:41.039
Yeah, maybe, And that goes
back to the whole idea of comedy and

237
00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:45.000
what we find funny and what we
find acceptable as comedic fodder. These days,

238
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:51.640
well, you cannot overstate how little
journalists will tolerate what they do to

239
00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:55.720
everyone else. Okay, they don't
like to be poked fun at, and

240
00:18:56.200 --> 00:18:57.839
that makes me want to poke fun
at them. Well, we'll do it

241
00:18:57.880 --> 00:19:03.119
every single year when we come back. Did you know that organ transplants can

242
00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:08.480
possibly change one's personality and sexuality?
To Walla Sharp has answers when we come

243
00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:15.279
back. You're listening to Later with
mo Kelly on demand from KFI AM six

244
00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:29.400
forty. I AM six forty is
Later with Mokelly Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio

245
00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:37.200
app. Scientists have found that organ
transplants can have unexpected consequences, including profound

246
00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:45.519
changes to one's personality and even sexuality. In a study involving forty seven people,

247
00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:52.920
a whopping eighty nine percent reported personality
changes following their transplant surgery, no

248
00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:57.960
matter what organ they had received.
These changes included changes in the preferences for

249
00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:03.839
food, into to see, and
even preferences and you know what I mean,

250
00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:07.599
I don't know firsthand what it's like
to be a transplant recipient. Knock

251
00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:11.480
on wood, you know, who
knows what tomorrow may bring. But Juala

252
00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:15.279
Sharp, you might have one or
two opinions. I say two opinions because

253
00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:19.039
you are a double organ transplant recipient, yep. And we talk about this

254
00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:26.119
subject in a serious way often.
Yeah, I can tell you for a

255
00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:33.400
fact that there definitely are our side
effects to the mood, especially in the

256
00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:37.680
beginning of your personality. Just in
General's part of the intake and part of

257
00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:41.920
the entire valuation process is they want
to get a good idea of the person

258
00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:47.279
you are before the transplant, and
they want to know this so that they

259
00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:52.920
can help you and your family watch
for significant personality changes because a lot of

260
00:20:52.960 --> 00:21:00.599
the medicine that we are are medicines
that do affect not only personality but sectionuality.

261
00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:03.279
I have not necessarily had all of
a sudden, you know, preference

262
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:07.599
for the opposite sex, Like I'm
not looking at Marx's mustache and going hey

263
00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:12.119
there, fella, but I think
you are. Yeah. I only brought

264
00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:15.079
it up because I am. That's
why you've been sending me the cat videos.

265
00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:26.079
Isn't that Oh, that's no,
but it's it is interesting that one

266
00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:29.359
of the side effects, at least
for me, has been a lack of

267
00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:33.279
interest in sex period. So it's
like one of those people are like,

268
00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:34.759
man, so you're not dating,
gonna. I'm like, I don't even

269
00:21:34.799 --> 00:21:38.839
have the desire or the drive.
It's kind of like almost non existent.

270
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:44.000
Well, let me ask you then, is it more the organ or is

271
00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:48.319
it the immunosuppress it's the suppressant.
Immunosuppressant drugs. Those a lot of those,

272
00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:55.160
especially we're on a cocktail of drugs
that all have some mood altering or

273
00:21:55.960 --> 00:22:02.000
erectile dysfunction type side effect the possibility
of Yeah, it's very serious for me.

274
00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:08.839
I think it has affected me in
terms of bringing my overall hormone levels

275
00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:11.200
down. And I've talked to a
doctor about that, like, hey,

276
00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:14.759
man, I don't know what's going
on, but I'm like, I'm not

277
00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:17.920
even interested. And he did a
hormone check and he's like, yeah,

278
00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:22.200
your T cells are very very low, very low. Unfortunately, it's one

279
00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:26.799
of those side effects. And his
response is so, hey, sirre's what

280
00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:30.119
we can do. I can put
you on another medicine that'll bring your T

281
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:33.079
cells up. But then you're gonna
need another medicine to help with that,

282
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:36.039
because that medicine is going to counteract
with all of these medicines. And I

283
00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:37.880
say, you know what, I'm
good, I'm cool. I just won't

284
00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:41.680
date. I'm straight. I don't
know how you do it, seriously,

285
00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:45.480
because I've seen you take your medicines. They're a lot. It's a lot.

286
00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:49.839
It is a lot. It is
old that would change my personality on

287
00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:55.279
the strength of just that, because
you have your alarm set to a certain

288
00:22:55.319 --> 00:22:57.880
time, we're supposed to do X, Y and Z. And you know,

289
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:03.359
I'm quite sure you are gracious and
grateful, yes, the transplant,

290
00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:07.440
but there's still a lot of maintenance
involved. Oh, the maintenance. It's

291
00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:11.839
a lifetime of maintenances you sign up
for when you sign on that dotted line

292
00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:18.039
that you're going to get this extremely
invasive, extremely expensive procedure. You're signing

293
00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:21.839
up for life saying I will take
care of this for as long as I

294
00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:25.880
possibly can, because I know what
the alternative looks like. So for me,

295
00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:27.799
I'm like, I'll take it,
give me the blue pill if need

296
00:23:27.839 --> 00:23:30.920
be. But even still, I'm
like, all the things that I have

297
00:23:32.039 --> 00:23:37.440
saved on by not being in a
relationship stress money, Valentine's Day gifts that

298
00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:42.359
mean absolutely nothing. You mess around
and be middle class in California. Callback

299
00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:48.160
you're gonna be able to go to
those pizza days with Foosh, Right,

300
00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:52.240
man, I could definitely take pizza
Pizza fest. Oh yeah, now twelve.

301
00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:53.519
I don't know what kind of insurance
coverage you have, but is it

302
00:23:53.559 --> 00:24:00.400
possible that the expenses associated with an
organ transplant are so high that it's hard

303
00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:06.400
to afford paying for sex afterwards?
Here I thought he was going to ask

304
00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:10.799
a real question. It's a pretty
good set up as a set up.

305
00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:15.839
I sat thought that was gonna be
like, yeah, okay, you earned

306
00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:18.119
that one, all right, you
get one off every now and then.

307
00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:25.720
It's the mustache. It's much thicker
now. You find it appealing to,

308
00:24:25.880 --> 00:24:30.000
don't you. I don't have a
transplant. Yeah, okay, ain't nothing

309
00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:33.720
changed. There's nothing to be ashamed
of. Yeah, looking at that mustache,

310
00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:38.359
yes there is. Oh no,
this mustache is tasty, admitted tasty.

311
00:24:38.519 --> 00:24:41.480
Yeah, look at it. Let's
not turn the focus to me.

312
00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:47.200
We're talking about to wala here about
me. I think we're over me.

313
00:24:47.599 --> 00:24:51.319
We're good we've got it. I
think we've got all the information that we

314
00:24:51.400 --> 00:24:53.960
need changes. Yes, yeah,
okay, so there is some truth to

315
00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:56.240
this. Oh no, there's a
lot of truth. When I read through

316
00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:59.759
the article, I was like,
yeah, this Everything that they're saying in

317
00:24:59.799 --> 00:25:03.839
this article is true. And I've
talked to several people who have felt some

318
00:25:04.519 --> 00:25:10.319
significant personality changes. They've had to
get on mood stabilizers and things like that,

319
00:25:10.440 --> 00:25:15.519
like you know that have gone into
supreme extreme depression. The highs and

320
00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:19.039
lows can be really rough, especially
with a lot of the steroids that were

321
00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:23.359
on that. That's some of the
steroids that hit people differently. Six of

322
00:25:23.400 --> 00:25:30.720
the forty seven participants reported changes in
sexual preferences. Some transplant recipients even reported

323
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:34.920
that they've taken on the memories of
their organ donors. But you know,

324
00:25:36.039 --> 00:25:40.640
that's deep, Yeah, that's deep. It is very interesting. But you're

325
00:25:40.680 --> 00:25:42.680
the first person I thought of.
But we have a few people here at

326
00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:45.960
KFI who've gone through organ transplants.
So I would want to talk to Mondo.

327
00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:48.839
I would want to talk to Neil
and see if anything's changed in their

328
00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:52.359
lives in that regard. You know, we got to get Mondo on so

329
00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:56.480
he can tell us about his big
guacamole event coming up and maybe we can

330
00:25:56.519 --> 00:25:57.799
talk to him. Then. He's
big timing now, so he knows where

331
00:25:57.839 --> 00:26:03.000
to find us. Just like he's
like he never has any time to give

332
00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:06.000
us any guacamole, has never any
time for any of that. I know

333
00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:10.599
he's he's like famous and stuff now, so he doesn't think he needs to

334
00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:15.240
talk to the little people about his
guaca bab Ti big time is really disappointing.

335
00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:18.799
I thought he wasn't gonna change when
he got big, but now he's

336
00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:22.480
changed, like guak king. Title's
gone to his head. Yeah, yeah,

337
00:26:25.119 --> 00:26:26.680
it's Later with Mokelly. Let's check
in with George Nor and Coast to

338
00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:30.680

twenty fourteen, and quickly established itself
as one of the biggest new blockbusters in

348
00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:21.799
recent years. Having played over three
thousand performances, the New York production is

349
00:27:21.839 --> 00:27:26.279

Broadway history. With that in mind,

We're working on some great things to Wallas

366
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:48.880
working on some great things. We've
got to get back in the giveaway business.

We love giving away free stuff and
passing it on to you. No,

we're not trying to bribe your listenership. But if that's part of the

00:28:56.960 --> 00:29:00.160
reason why you want to listen in, okay, we'll take it. It's

370
00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:04.400
all right. But giving away movie
tickets and theater tickets. Mark Ronerd is

371
00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:08.079
going to give away I don't know, something's a memento from his childhood.

372
00:29:08.160 --> 00:29:11.480
We're working on it. We're trying
to decide what it's going to be.

373
00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:15.359
Yeah, an Oregon something like that. Yeah, you probably would, yes,

374
00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:21.960
way too much. Maybe you ought
to like offer the chance to watch

375
00:29:21.960 --> 00:29:25.640
you shave off your mustache. I
don't know how much longer I can stand

376
00:29:25.680 --> 00:29:29.680
it because it feels like a Halloween
costume. It's not you huh no,

377
00:29:29.440 --> 00:29:32.039
no, no, no, no, you need to do like some like

378
00:29:32.200 --> 00:29:37.680
biker handles. That was the genesis
of this, a biker movie. So

379
00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:40.960
that's that's on the way. But
then it's got to go because it's insane.

380
00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:42.720
I don't know how people live with
these things. What about the long

381
00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:47.440
suffering one has? She weighed in
on it. She wants it around for

382
00:29:47.440 --> 00:29:49.640
a while longer because honestly, we've
been in lock up with each other for

383
00:29:49.680 --> 00:29:53.519
four solid years and she got sick
of my face as it was. So

384
00:29:56.000 --> 00:29:59.200
if you get rid of the mustache, that's gonna endear you to her.

385
00:29:59.440 --> 00:30:02.119
No, oh, okay, she
wants you to keep it in perpetuity.

386
00:30:02.160 --> 00:30:03.440
No, she was sick of looking
at me. So this is just a

387
00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:07.319
little bit of a change, almost
like role play. Probably not enough of

388
00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:11.160
a change for her though you mean
you get on people's nerves. I think

389
00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:17.559
she'd like a much larger change than
just the mustache. Well, you got

390
00:30:17.559 --> 00:30:19.200
to make do with what you got, that's what I keep telling her.

391
00:30:19.880 --> 00:30:22.359
Well, I gotta say it's good
to be back. I miss you guys,

392
00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:26.960
even though I was only gone for
a day or so. But you

393
00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:30.119
know, need to get away to
do some other things like hop keto and

394
00:30:30.119 --> 00:30:33.799
martial arts and train with other folks
from around the state. It's especially weird

395
00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:37.519
when you're not here on Fridays.
Yeah, I like Chris Merrill, who

396
00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:41.000
was the sub, but we don't
do any of our normal stuff on Fridays

397
00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:42.480
when you're gone, So it's just
a whole different scene. And honestly,

398
00:30:42.519 --> 00:30:45.359
almost felt like even though, like
you said, it was a day,

399
00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:48.160
it felt like a whole week went
by. Well, absence makes the heart

400
00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:52.319
grow fonder, and I'll be sure
to make it up to all of you,

401
00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:56.680
including a Friday this week would have
big fun the rest of the week.

402
00:30:56.920 --> 00:31:00.079
Obviously, we're going to be giving
away tickets, We're going to have

403
00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:03.440
the movie game this week. We
got to get back on track doing all

404
00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:07.960
the funny things and having all the
fun that we normally do. I'm quite

405
00:31:07.960 --> 00:31:11.240
sure Chris Merrill did a wonderful job, but you know, it's a different

406
00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:15.279
show. I know what people expect
on Friday. You're expecting to just all

407
00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:23.079
sorts of silliness and lou behavior,
things that most people would get put off

408
00:31:23.119 --> 00:31:26.680
the radio for. I understand that. I understand that that's that's what we

409
00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:29.240
do, you know, And tonight
was just a little bit of that.

410
00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:33.480
Tawala told us that he's not gay
as of yet because of this organ transplant.

411
00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:36.519
Didn't know that. I don't know
what's happening, did not know,

412
00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:40.039
but you know, he shared that
with us tonight. I didn't know that

413
00:31:40.039 --> 00:31:42.160
that was the point of the goal
to take that. Yes, it was

414
00:31:42.400 --> 00:31:51.279
like on personality changes and the effects
of transplant or tramplant madzins no, no.

415
00:31:51.400 --> 00:31:55.240
And we also learned that Mark role
plays with his living girlfriend. Okay,

416
00:31:55.599 --> 00:31:57.359
she had him grown mustache, so
it'd be like a different guy living

417
00:31:57.359 --> 00:32:00.960
with her. Yeah. I think
she's pleased that it's or like someone else

418
00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:06.279
way down the music. What are
we doing? Hey, so Mark,

419
00:32:06.319 --> 00:32:08.240
you got to get an organ transplant
and you'd be a really different guy altogether.

420
00:32:08.319 --> 00:32:14.880
I don't know what organ you're talking
about. But look at the time,

421
00:32:15.680 --> 00:32:20.160
we're just go ahead and leave it
right there, just gonna end on

422
00:32:20.200 --> 00:32:22.559
that low note. Yeah, can't
