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 00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:12.359 And there's some good news, some genuine good news for the American box office. 3 00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:18.000 Inside Out two has become the first movie of the year to hit one 4 00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:23.800 billion dollars in global box office. That means a lot. It's not going 5 00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:29.399 to change the direction of the industry, but we hadn't had a bonafide hit 6 00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:35.159 here at least in the States, saying nothing of globally, and inside Out 7 00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:39.799 too is passed the billion dollar mark. It was number one in the US 8 00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:45.960 box office, the domestic box office once again this week. And I don't 9 00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:50.240 know if you can develop any momentum, but when you pull in fifty seven 10 00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:54.119 million in your second week, you're doing all right. You're not having that 11 00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:58.240 rate of decay that most movies would have. And Twala, you gave the 12 00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:02.479 review. You thought it was fantastic. It deserves every dollar's game, every 13 00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:07.040 dollar. It was a phenomenal, phenomenal movie, and it is a return 14 00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:10.840 to true form for Pixar. All Right, Well, I had a chance. 15 00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:15.680 I'm gonna watch Inside Out one this week and then I'll get a chance 16 00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:21.680 to take in Inside Out two. I had a choice between Inside Out two 17 00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:26.680 and A Quiet Place Day one. I am a fan of A Quiet Place 18 00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:29.719 the series. I don't know has anyone else seen any of the movies? 19 00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:33.120 Am I the only one who's seen those movies? The Quiet Place trilogy? 20 00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:34.439 Now, I've seen the first two, but the new one that just came 21 00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:38.920 out, I didn't see. There was no We were off our schedule last 22 00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:41.560 week because you were gone, So no movie review. All right, Well, 23 00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:44.000 I did get to see it since I came back a couple of days 24 00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:47.680 ago, I had time to go to the movies, had some legitimate free 25 00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:49.840 time. I went to see it. And if you don't know, this 26 00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:55.159 is the John Krasinski produced and directed series about these aliens which have come to 27 00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:57.439 Earth. And you know me, I love some alien movies. And they're 28 00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:00.760 called like Death Angels and just tear up the place. If you make a 29 00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:04.799 sound, if you sneeze, fart, burp, they come kill you. 30 00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:07.840 They do. It's the favorite movie of librarians anywhere it is. And that's 31 00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:14.000 the only thing I don't understand. The premise is unbelievable because everyone is who 32 00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:17.439 can survive this invasion has managed to stay silent. Yeah, the whole premises 33 00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:22.319 shut the hell up or die horribly. The first time I start snoring, 34 00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:24.719 I die. The first time I get a cold, I die. You 35 00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:29.199 know what I mean. I woke up with just like the sniffles because my 36 00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:32.840 allergies were killing me. I'm dead. Yeah. If you got sleep apnea, 37 00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:37.280 You're done. It was shocking how quiet like I know, it's called 38 00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:39.960 A Quiet Place, but I remember my thing is always popcorn, and you 39 00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:44.360 could hear me throughout the entire movie theater when I saw the first one, 40 00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:46.719 because I think they said, there's like a total of seventy words that they 41 00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:50.199 say in the entire movie. It's the first one. Yeah, yeah, 42 00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:53.039 yeahah yeah. The first one was almost zero dialogue. Thing. This one, 43 00:02:53.520 --> 00:03:00.319 which stars Repeta Nyongo is, has more dialogue and I'm I'm not going 44 00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:02.159 to give away, but there are some things they let you know. Her 45 00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:08.039 character is terminally ill with cancer, and you get to see the beginning of 46 00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:15.319 the invasion. I actually recommend watching these incomplete reverse order. Watch this one 47 00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:20.759 first because it is day one, then watch the second one of A Quiet 48 00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:24.560 Place, Part two, and then watch the original third. That's the chronological 49 00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:30.080 order of the movies and it's probably more enjoyable seeing it in that order. 50 00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:31.400 So you think it works that way, because that doesn't work when you do 51 00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:35.759 that with Star Wars. It does not, but it works. I was 52 00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:39.639 thinking of this actively while watching the movie. I would rather have the movies 53 00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:46.280 unfold and you get to be in the dark a little longer, because you 54 00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:50.159 get to see the beginning of the invasion in this movie, but you don't 55 00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:53.680 know what happens to society. The very first movie, which is actually now 56 00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:59.560 the third in the chronology, picks you up well into the invasion. You 57 00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.280 have no one of context, You don't have any idea of who these things 58 00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:06.080 are, what they are, And I think it takes away from the movie 59 00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:11.319 because you're left in the dark almost literally beginning and end of the movie. 60 00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:14.159 What about the argument that it kind of takes away from the mystique and the 61 00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:17.959 mystery by knowing everything about the origin, I don't think so. I thought 62 00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:21.240 that I would have enjoyed it much more. Of course they weren't writing them 63 00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:26.639 in that order, but I would have enjoyed it seeing it in just a 64 00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:31.160 chronological progression. Right then, excuse me now, with this one only making 65 00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:39.000 a ninety seven million seven hundred some thousand. Is it gonna win? I'd 66 00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:41.759 have to well, it did ninety seven million in his first week, so 67 00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:46.519 that's nothing to sneeze at. I just don't know comparatively speaking how well that 68 00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:48.480 rates against the other ones. I guess we could look it up real quick, 69 00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:55.720 because usually sequels do have a law of diminishing returns. They usually don't 70 00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:58.360 do as well as the first of the second movie. I mean, Bad 71 00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:01.120 Boys Too is still doing pretty good at number three, so it's still it's 72 00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:05.839 still making money. But you know, I don't know. The very first 73 00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:13.519 Acquiet Place grows three hundred and forty one million worldwide. The Acquiet Place Part 74 00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:17.720 two grows two hundred and ninety seven million worldwide, to my point, so 75 00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:23.120 there's a decay and decline in that, and this probably will not get three 76 00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:28.920 hundred million either, So I think it's probably I would recommend watching it in 77 00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:33.040 the chronological order. Watch this first, and then watch A Quiet Place Part 78 00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:38.160 two in the second position, and then the original Acquired Place is the third 79 00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:41.519 one. Yeah, that was my plan for it. I saw, finally 80 00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:46.480 the end scene for A Quiet Place two. I saw how it ends like 81 00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:49.439 it's like a five minute thing where you can watch how it ends. I 82 00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:53.279 said, oh, okay, this isn't that. These things they look weird, 83 00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:56.560 and I see why you're making You're being quiet, so now I can 84 00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:00.199 watch. It's not it's not like murder skit. It's it's But also to 85 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:04.639 mars point, you get to see more of the creature in this the first 86 00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:10.120 This the third movie, but it would be the first in the chronological order, 87 00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:14.319 and you see the least of it in the original movie. They hide 88 00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:16.240 it very well, like Jaws. You don't get to see it. So 89 00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:21.040 you said, it made ninety seven million compared to the Kevin Kostner Western, 90 00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:26.600 this one hundred million dollar epic western that came out at the same time on 91 00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:30.079 the same day, that made eleven million bucks. And that's impressive. Yeah, 92 00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:33.079 it did well. And also it's a it's an r movie. It 93 00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:36.160 is very violent, and let me just say this, it's not a perfect 94 00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:43.000 movie. It does tug at your heartstrings. There's a cat. Mark just 95 00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:45.800 want to warn you. Oh, I don't want to see any cat trauma. 96 00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:47.120 There's a cat in a movie. That's all I'm gonna say. All 97 00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:50.160 Right, you know that cat meals and that's it. Don't. I don't 98 00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:55.560 want them eating I don't. I don't want them destroyed by alien crab thingies 99 00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:58.439 or whatever the hell you call these deals. But there I was looking up 100 00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:01.839 on Reddit. There were long discussions of should I watch the movie because there's 101 00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:04.120 a cat the trailer. I don't know if I can take it if the 102 00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:06.439 cat doesn't make it. I'm not going to tell you whether the cat makes 103 00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:11.279 it or not, but there's a cat prominently featured in the movie. Well, 104 00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:14.240 they usually make everything better, but not if you have to watch them 105 00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:16.680 be slaughtered. So I just want to put that out there. And I 106 00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:19.000 enjoyed it. It wasn't a great movie. It's a real short, but 107 00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:24.639 it's like an hour and twenty five minutes. It's really short, really short, 108 00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:29.720 and it all happens over the course of maybe three to four hours, 109 00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:33.759 if I remember correctly. In how the story's told, I was taking note 110 00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:38.839 of that. It's half the length of the Kevin Cosner Horizon movie, probably 111 00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:41.920 twice as enjoyable, though we'll see. I want to see them both. 112 00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:45.160 I just haven't had time because I had to work this weekend while you were 113 00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:48.800 lounging around. Yes, I was in my underwear. Thanks for the visual. 114 00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:53.839 Appreciate that you know you wanted it. I mean, never mind, 115 00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:57.680 look at the time six forty we left everyone in the iHeartRadio app. When 116 00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:01.040 we come back, we have some union entertainment news to tell you about, 117 00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:07.399 and it's connected to artificial intelligence as well. You're listening to Later with Moe 118 00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:11.560 Kelly on demand from KFI AM six forty. And let me just say up 119 00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:15.759 front, Mark Ronner is not going to be pleased with this next story. 120 00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:20.600 He might even say I told you so. IATZI the International Alliance of Theatrical 121 00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:26.560 Stage Employees. They've released further details of its contract over this past weekend, 122 00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:33.840 and the deal provides that workers may ask their employers for a consultation about aiuse, 123 00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:39.759 that a committee will be set up to offer AI skills training, and 124 00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:45.960 that AI use cannot be outsourced to non union labor. Let me put it 125 00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:52.799 this way, AI can be used as a tool with relatively few limitations under 126 00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:58.919 this agreement struck last week between major studios and the union representing film crews. 127 00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:05.600 I call this mission creep, where you're letting AI in the door to perform 128 00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:13.080 specific tasks, certain duties, and then incrementally it will start replacing people. 129 00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:16.039 Yeah, it's a bad deal all the way around. The thing you must 130 00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:22.039 remember is that most people don't want or need AI. They just don't. 131 00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:24.519 And it's being forced on us by people who stand to profit from us from 132 00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:31.919 it and to replace good things by artists and other creative types with crap. 133 00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:35.240 It's that simple. According to the story, it says that the contract does 134 00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:41.919 offer a relatively narrow protection in regard to worker protections, providing that no employee 135 00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:48.879 will be forced to input prompts that displace other union workers won't be forced. 136 00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:56.240 But it just means you can and they will. Yeah. A foothold is 137 00:09:56.279 --> 00:10:00.360 a footholder, right, right, And you can't undo. Look, you 138 00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:03.600 can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. You can't put the excrement back 139 00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:07.960 in never mind, you can't go back. You can't go back. No 140 00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:11.799 excrement is an apt comparison. And one of the big wigs from one of 141 00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:16.480 the big AI companies was just absolutely roasted the last several days for just saying 142 00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:20.840 coldly, you know, some people are going to lose their jobs. That's 143 00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:24.120 just the way it is. Well, it's not, it doesn't have to 144 00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:28.639 be. This is being done on purpose by people putting artists and creative types 145 00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:31.279 out of work so that they don't have to pay a human being. It 146 00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:35.600 is evil. Yeah, this is automation by a different name, in the 147 00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:41.919 way that you have hamburger restaurants like McDonald's or Burger King, what have you, 148 00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:46.759 and they are not going to hire employees because they would rather not pay 149 00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:52.039 the twenty dollars per hour, but they can automate it through kiosks and robotic 150 00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:58.519 burger flippers. This is how the entertainment industry is moving closer and closer to 151 00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:01.679 its version of automation. That's right. And the thing that you've got to 152 00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:05.960 keep in mind is that they couldn't do any of this stuff without stealing. 153 00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:13.600 It relies on plagiarism theft for this stuff to work. The AI. Under 154 00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:18.759 the deal, the employers retain the right to bar employees from using AI in 155 00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:22.720 their work. Let me read that again, because you didn't catch that. 156 00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:26.799 The employers retain the right to bar employees from using AI in their work. 157 00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:33.960 It doesn't mean that they will bar employees from using AI in their work. 158 00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:41.000 It is going to seep into every aspect of entertainment being jobs below the line 159 00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:45.799 or even jobs in the creative aspect of the field. You know, however 160 00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:48.919 inevitable it may or may not be. What I want is labels so that 161 00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:54.000 I, as a consumer know what's been generated by AI. So it's my 162 00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:56.679 choice if I want to avoid it. Well, here's the thing when you 163 00:11:56.720 --> 00:12:01.559 say labels, and let me go back to Marvel TV show. Marvel had 164 00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:07.399 a TV show where they had an AI generated pain of their opening sequence. 165 00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:15.039 What was that echo that? But they had human creators managing it. If 166 00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:20.039 that makes any sense, there's going to be a blurred line between what is 167 00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:28.200 actual, complete, unadulterated human composition and whether AI was also used to help 168 00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:33.639 enhance that creation. And when you say you want it labeled, is that 169 00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:37.600 a part of the credits? You know? What does that mean? Oh? 170 00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:39.799 I want it labeled right front and center, so that I know going 171 00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:43.559 in if this is the thing that was created using AI, because then I 172 00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:48.279 will not patronize it. Well, that's something you're asking for, But if 173 00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:52.639 it's not delineated in the contract, it's not going to be there. Well, 174 00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:56.559 and that's where this doesn't have anything to do with politics, right left 175 00:12:56.600 --> 00:12:58.279 or otherwise. To me, it's just a matter of you know, caveat 176 00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:01.480 empter. We need. We have the right to know what we're consuming, 177 00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:05.759 whether it's food or entertainment or news or anything. We have a right to 178 00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:09.600 know what is in what we're consuming. All right, let me play devil's 179 00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:13.080 advocate. You say we have a right to know. I think we should 180 00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:18.840 have the right to know. I'm not so sure there is that right to 181 00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:22.000 know. I don't know in a constitutional sense where that right lives. I 182 00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:26.559 don't know in a legal sense where that right lives. I just know that 183 00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:31.000 we're having a conversation about right and wrong, and oftentimes the law does not 184 00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:35.159 side with what is right. Well, yeah, we found that out today 185 00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:39.279 many other days. Yeah, these are things we have to fight for because 186 00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:43.000 people will get away with exactly right up to the level that they can get 187 00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:46.799 away with it when they're stopped. This is just one of those stories. 188 00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:50.000 It may seem minor on the surface. You may say aatsis not even a 189 00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:54.440 union. I follow, It's not something that I worry about in the grand 190 00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:58.080 scheme of things when I think about an entertainment union going on striking. Not 191 00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:01.720 to belittle the union, it's not something which is going to sound as sexy 192 00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:07.240 as maybe sag after the DGA, the WGA, what have you. But 193 00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:13.559 IATSEI, the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, if anything, is giving 194 00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:18.279 you a roadmap as to how AI is going to slowly seep into everything that 195 00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:22.480 we do. We've talked about how it's going to possibly replace people in our 196 00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:28.039 business in radio. We've talked about how it's already replaced people in print. 197 00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:33.519 We know that it has a foothold in the creative process and television and movies, 198 00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:37.480 even though they had a long strike trying to weed that out and make 199 00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:41.519 sure that people working in the industry and the creative aspect were protected so they 200 00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:48.240 were not complete episodes of TV series and scripts for movies. AI generated to 201 00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:56.120 circumnavigate the process of paying people for their creativity. But we're still on that 202 00:14:56.200 --> 00:15:01.240 mission creep to that end. We are moving steadily towards that it's dystopian and 203 00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:03.320 I'm against it. Well, I don't know if you can get around it. 204 00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:05.639 Though. It's almost like, Okay, you're dropping the bomb on a 205 00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:09.480 populace. It's it's honest downward motion. I don't know if you can stop 206 00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:13.080 the momentum at a certain point So that tripa years didn't cure you of this 207 00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:16.679 fatalism streak that you've always as no, no, no, no no. 208 00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:20.200 If anything, it enhanced it. It reaffirms what I believe, if only 209 00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:24.960 because you have a culture, you have a country doing it right and is 210 00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:31.840 also reaping the rewards of it. So when people say we can't have high 211 00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:35.759 speed rail, it's like, but I can look over here. We can't 212 00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:39.399 have a country without trash, homeless as well, I can look over here 213 00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:41.159 and say, no, there are countries to it. We can't have single 214 00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:46.200 payer universal health care. No, it is working and it's thriving in practice, 215 00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:50.840 and it's a capitalistic society. It's not a communistic society. No, 216 00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:52.639 it's all a choice. And you always have to ask the legal question, 217 00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:56.679 kuibono, who benefits benefits? And you and me? Well, I don't 218 00:15:56.679 --> 00:16:00.679 believe that we in America. Let me just get on my soapbox for a 219 00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:07.600 second. I don't think we are interested in investing in people, investing in 220 00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:15.279 education, and investing in infrastructure. If we actually did those three things, 221 00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:18.679 it'd be a lot better place. How can you have a country which doesn't 222 00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:23.840 invest in healthcare? Spoken like a pinko but just say, look, we're 223 00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:30.600 for the most part, everyone in America is one diagnosis away from bankruptcy. 224 00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:34.440 Oh yeah, and four hundred bucks emergency expenditure regardless. Yeah, most people 225 00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:41.440 don't know. Just going to the hospital in an ambulance thousands of dollars thousands, 226 00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:45.320 it's insane. And I should remind you, which you probably already know, 227 00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:48.200 that the United States is the only country in the rich world that doesn't 228 00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:52.000 have that. Somehow we're the only one. And that's not American exceptionally. 229 00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:56.360 Oh you beat me to my favorite phrase. Yeah, yeah, you beat 230 00:16:56.360 --> 00:17:00.080 me there. And just because America is great of itself, it does not 231 00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:06.920 mean that it does everything well. And until we start investing in people, 232 00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:11.680 we will suffer all the things that we complained about on a daily basis, 233 00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:15.000 be it homelessness, be it healthcare, be it these fights about education. 234 00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:19.680 No, we're not fighting about education. We're fighting the culture war of education. 235 00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:23.839 And there's not the same thing. We don't value education like other countries 236 00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:27.119 around the world, and you know, we're reaping the benefit of it. 237 00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:33.599 Quote unquote. You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on Demand from KFI AM 238 00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:40.559 six forty to Wallace Sharp, producer of Later with Mo Kelly and also hosts 239 00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:45.279 of Soul Colt Saturday. It came across his social media feed and he was 240 00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:51.799 streaming some video from a concert he attended over the weekend at the Hollywood Bowl. 241 00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:55.599 And we had talked about this in the months leading up to it, 242 00:17:55.680 --> 00:18:00.480 how he was going to see the Roots Picnic twenty four the Hollywood Bowl. 243 00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:06.079 Some of the legends of hip hop were performing, from Diggable Plans to Queen 244 00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:11.039 Latifah to the Jungle Brothers. I can't remember Black Sheep. How many people 245 00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:15.759 were attending, but Twola give you a review of that concert. One of 246 00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:22.799 the most spectacular shows I have seen, hands down, the entire experience. 247 00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:26.200 I mean, look, first of all, if you are going to the 248 00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:30.640 Hollywood Bowl, let me tell you take an uber because that new uber lotzi 249 00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:33.400 where they drop you off right across the street and you just walk underneath the 250 00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:38.119 tunnel and come up. That's the way to go parking driving forget that them 251 00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:45.759 establishing that uber lot life saving. We get there and it is such a 252 00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:52.440 blended mixed crowd, black, white, Asian, other everyone is grown. 253 00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:57.480 There are no at this concert except for I brought my son, and when 254 00:18:57.480 --> 00:19:00.000 he walked, he was like, what are we gonna go? See this 255 00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:03.359 number of old people here? You know, all a lot of gray, 256 00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:08.799 a lot of gray in that crowd. But you could tell that this was 257 00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:15.000 an adult concert. No, no sagging pants. Everyone was dressed like adults, 258 00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:18.440 and you could the vibe was different because security. There was no winding 259 00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:22.279 there, there was no policing state. They were just walking people through. 260 00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:23.559 Okay, no, I was about to take my stuff off my pockets. 261 00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:26.559 No, no, no, no, you're good. It'll be if you 262 00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:30.160 have anything heavy going through. One of the best. I'm telling you, 263 00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:33.720 The Roots give hands down one of the best shows ever. And I've had 264 00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:37.519 the Roots on a couple different shows. I've produced a concerts similar to this 265 00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:41.759 back in the day. But when you see the Roots and how they do 266 00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:45.440 it, it's special. I mean, Black Thought comes on and he does 267 00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:49.119 ten minutes straight, just off the top, off the top, just going. 268 00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:55.279 And the way they did this show is it's not a concert where it's 269 00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:57.640 one act then the other act than the other act. No, it is 270 00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:02.039 we're bringing out the younger brothers. They come out and do a song, 271 00:20:02.119 --> 00:20:04.519 then they're gonna bring out Common. Common's gonna come out and do a song. 272 00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:08.640 Queen Latifa came out, and Queen Latifa brought a bevy of female mcs 273 00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:14.400 from Yo Yo MC Light Money Love was on stage, Lady of Rage and 274 00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:18.440 and that was an entire festival. But everyone's doing one or two songs and 275 00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:22.559 they was all mixed together, so you never got listening to DJ. Yeah, 276 00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:26.839 basically it was it was like the Roots were the DJ. But what 277 00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:30.200 made this show so special is you have all of these acts. I'm talking 278 00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:37.119 everyone from from the Far Side to the Diggable Planets again, Common doing all 279 00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:42.359 of his stuff, Queen Latifa, the Roots were playing all of this music 280 00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:48.759 live. There was no track performances, every single thing, every instrument, 281 00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:53.400 every horn, Oh my god, two hours straight. There was like a 282 00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:56.920 five minute intermission where they let some DJ's cut up and they came right back 283 00:20:56.920 --> 00:21:00.720 and just went back into it. For people don't know, Questlove was the 284 00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:03.440 music director for Jimmy Fallon. Yes, the Roots are the band for the 285 00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:07.359 man. So if you if you're not familiar with the Roots, but I'm 286 00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:11.559 telling you the crowd. I went there thinking to myself, Okay, what 287 00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:15.880 is this crowd going to look like? And you can tell everyone there, 288 00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:19.880 everyone there knows and loves this group. And you're talking people again. Thirty 289 00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:25.039 five to sixty. I went, I took my son, My brother went, 290 00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:27.160 he took his daughter, my mother went, she went with a friend, 291 00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:34.680 and we all came back saying this show was amazing. That's that's inspiring, 292 00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:40.799 if only because for certain especially when we talk about hip hop concerts, 293 00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:45.519 I know that attendees usually get treated a certain way. Yeah, and I 294 00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:48.680 was wondering if we were going to be treated a certain way at that concert. 295 00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:52.799 No, no, no, no. It was such a welcoming vibe. 296 00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:56.880 It was almost as if the Roots said, hey, everyone here is 297 00:21:56.880 --> 00:22:00.799 coming. This is basically a family event. And when they simp to that, 298 00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:03.599 that's what they kept saying. This is the show is it's the Roots 299 00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:07.440 Picnic, but it's at the sub line is hip hop the love of my 300 00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:11.960 life. And every time someone stepped on stage, they kept talking about family, 301 00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:15.799 they kept talking about generation, they kept talking about this show being something 302 00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:21.400 for everyone, and this is what hip hop at fifty years old is all 303 00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:26.640 about, about bringing multiple people together, multiple cultures together to all vibe to 304 00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:32.000 the same music. It's also interesting you mentioned the parking and how with the 305 00:22:32.119 --> 00:22:33.640 Uber drop off it makes it so much better. That was the only thing 306 00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:38.319 that I never liked about the Hollywood Bowl. The venue itself always loved it. 307 00:22:38.359 --> 00:22:42.640 There's nothing better than the Hollywood Bowl for a summer night. Oh, 308 00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:45.839 there's not a bad seat in the house. And if you have a good 309 00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:49.119 crowd as well, it makes the concert even better. There's a call and 310 00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:52.519 response. The whole crowd, I assume was dancing all night long. Oh, 311 00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:56.160 I don't know if we sat down the entire night where everyone is standing 312 00:22:56.200 --> 00:23:00.640 up screaming, you know, and it was winter rest to me, is 313 00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:03.720 all those venerable groups there. The group that got the most love, hands 314 00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:08.480 down, across the board was Arrested Development and Arrested Development. Their show was 315 00:23:08.519 --> 00:23:14.400 amazing. See I only knew like two songs of look mister Wendell and Tennessee. 316 00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:19.599 They did Mister Window Tennessee and people were singing along the entire time, 317 00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:25.559 the entire time. That was one of those groups I thought was going to 318 00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:30.200 have a longer radio career. They still had an underground career. They were 319 00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:33.079 still releasing music, but they were coming out at a time in which conscious 320 00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:38.000 hip hop meant something and when It was also a radio airplay when when they 321 00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:41.279 did Mister Window, I was telling my son, I said, this is 322 00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:45.599 the first group talk about homelessness song talking about homelessness and talking about caring for 323 00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:48.680 people. It was amazing. And you know he's like, he's like, 324 00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:52.359 I don't know any of these groups, but everyone here is so hyped. 325 00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:56.720 This is amazing. You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from KFI 326 00:23:56.960 --> 00:24:00.119 AM six forty. And before we get out of here, just gotta let 327 00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:07.880 you know. Fourth of July, we'll have our annual live broadcasts from Chateau 328 00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:15.000 l' mo my house. We'll be having a studio audience of sorts.
