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