Speaker 2: I know, I'm get off my lawn old. I get that.
Speaker 2: I get that, And the music is too loud of
Speaker 2: kids get on my nerves. All that is true, But
Speaker 2: sometimes sometimes I am justified coming to Inglewood. Next weekend,
Speaker 2: not this weekend, but next weekend is the Rolling Loud concert.
Speaker 2: That's the concert that you can hear literally four miles away.
Speaker 2: Last year you could hear it is at Hollywood Park,
Speaker 2: right next to Sofi Stadium outdoor. You could hear it
Speaker 2: at my house four miles away. I think I was
Speaker 2: justified in being a little bit angry about how loud
Speaker 2: it was. It lived up to its name, Rolling Loud,
Speaker 2: and it's coming back around again next weekend and weekend
Speaker 2: after next. Who's gonna be headlined by Asap Rocky, who's

Speaker 2: to identify it. Oh, I see, you know, I've I'm
Speaker 2: familiar because she's been in the news for any number
Speaker 2: of things over the the months and years of her
Speaker 2: short career.
Speaker 3: Heays, So Pluma is huge. Plumer could probably close that
Speaker 3: show probably headline.

Speaker 3: It's no, no, no, no, they're they're they're like it's
Speaker 3: like like Latin music. It's it's but it's deep within
Speaker 3: the culture.
Speaker 2: Well, pays Pluma probably gives it away that it's Latin music.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the same, but it's it's just it's like a
Speaker 3: deep it's like they're they're like like imagine when we
Speaker 3: were young and Gloria Estefan, you know how big she was,
Speaker 3: you know, their whole conga. It's like it's like that
Speaker 3: I'm saying, just how how big the vibe. The vibe
Speaker 3: is big.

Speaker 2: it's absolutely yeah yeah. Can you clue me in on this?
Speaker 2: I have no idea who they are. No, it's got
Speaker 2: one persons. Okay, it's the guy. So it's like bad Bunny.

Speaker 2: of his songs? I think it's a hiddie. Yeah, Playboy Cardi.
Speaker 2: They play Playboy Cardi all day.
Speaker 3: He has quite posibly one of the biggest records within
Speaker 3: the urban music genre. Right now, they're playing and non
Speaker 3: stop upstairs.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, I just can't name it.
Speaker 3: He's got a single with with Weekend right now, all right,
Speaker 3: I've pronounce sound sounds like it's almost like the Weekend
Speaker 3: with like a more manly voiced Weekend rappings togues. Okay, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: because you're not how Weekend has that high voice. And
Speaker 3: then Playboy Cardi's got like a more masculine voice sounds
Speaker 3: you know. Okay, look they're playing upstairs man, okay, upstairs.
Speaker 2: Well. Tickets are starting at just one hundred and seventy
Speaker 2: nine dollars for general admission. I don't know if that
Speaker 2: means you get to actually sit down, if it's just
Speaker 2: like a standing area, but it's general admission one hundred
Speaker 2: and seventy nine dollars and uh yeah. Attendees will be
Speaker 2: treated to signature activations like the Rolling Loud Tattoo Parlor
Speaker 2: and art installations that deepen the connection to hip hop culture.
Speaker 2: Get your tickets now. Yes, this is plum Okay, that
Speaker 2: doesn't ring a bell. You can show me a picture
Speaker 2: of his Instagram page. It doesn't ring. No, okay, there's
Speaker 2: no payesel no no. But I can tell you also
Speaker 2: that I will not be there, and I'll make sure
Speaker 2: that if anyone comes near my house, I will shoot
Speaker 2: them away and tell them to get off my grass.
Speaker 2: No parking. I don't know when it starts too. Is
Speaker 2: that the one that we heard, Yes, yes, okay, heard
Speaker 2: from miles away miles now. According to the Mayor of Inglewood,
Speaker 2: we're not supposed to have that problem again. Mayor Butts James.
Speaker 2: But that's right. Yeah, we shall see if they start
Speaker 2: playing it loud. It's not like anyone's going to actually
Speaker 2: stop them, because it was loud all we weekend last
Speaker 2: year and they did nothing despite all of our complaints. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because apparently that they had like a record number of
Speaker 2: police calls for they did across like five different police departments.
Speaker 2: It was Ingwood Police Department if I remember correctly, Manhattan
Speaker 2: Beach Police Department, guard Dina Police Department, obviously LAPD, and
Speaker 2: also LASD Manhattan Beach. That's scary. Yeah, Yeah, that's far.
Speaker 2: It's far, but it isn't that far because I go
Speaker 2: there to referee basketball. I know it's seven miles from
Speaker 2: my house, but that's about ten miles from the Sofi
Speaker 2: Stadium Hollywood Park. I'm just saying, if they're complaining in
Speaker 2: it's all the way over there. That's too loud. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: I'll even say that. Yeah yeah, And I have double
Speaker 2: pane windows and it did not help at all. It
Speaker 2: felt like I was still at the concert.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 2: Also, there's Wango Tango coming out and on Thursday, I'll
Speaker 2: be joining in the studio by Jojo and we're going
Speaker 2: to be giving away a pair of tickets to Heart
Speaker 2: Radio's Wango Tango, which is coming back to southern California,
Speaker 2: and it's headed to the beach on Saturday, May tenth,
Speaker 2: a little ways out at Huntington City Beach. Wanngo Tango's
Speaker 2: all star lineup will feature performances by Joja, Kat, I
Speaker 2: know who she is, Megan Trainer, I know who she is,
Speaker 2: Kat's eye not so much in mix no psichers a
Speaker 2: two old may is that like French at o me?
Speaker 2: Are you just making up names?
Speaker 4: Now? Cat size the Stephen King's story. Come on, I'm
Speaker 4: not out it is Kat s e ye.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm actually I'm kind of glad that JoJo's the
Speaker 2: one coming on because he does a whole K pop
Speaker 2: thing and those some of those are K pop bands. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so he'll know. That's why we bring on the experts,
Speaker 2: because I'm not the expert. I mean, for all the
Speaker 2: time I was in the music industry, that was last century,
Speaker 2: I'm not the expert anymore.
Speaker 3: That was huh, it was It's been a long time
Speaker 3: since been. We're in the music industry.
Speaker 2: That was a long time. And don't forget Heart's Too.
Speaker 2: Hearts was also on the bill, as is Orange County's
Speaker 2: own Gwen Stefani. Tickets are going to go on sale
Speaker 2: on National Pie Day, March fourteenth, at ten am at
Speaker 2: AXS dot com. I might go to this. I told
Speaker 2: you it's a Saturday. Yes, Huntington Beach is a great
Speaker 2: place to go. Huntington Beach is great.
Speaker 3: Doja cat Gwen Stefani to me Gwen Stefani and a
Speaker 3: reunion of No Doubt? It not just when is a
Speaker 3: reunion of No Doubt? As that's going to be a killer.
Speaker 3: The only thing is this is just the one little
Speaker 3: TEENCWENSI problem. Because I worked in the music industry for
Speaker 3: so long, I am accustomed to a level of access
Speaker 3: and treatment.
Speaker 4: That I must receive. So if they don't send a
Speaker 4: limo for you, you're out. Doesn't have to be a limo,
Speaker 4: oh okay.
Speaker 2: But in other words, like I need backstage passes. I
Speaker 2: need to be able to hang out with the artists
Speaker 2: and in that kind of green room area. Oh, do
Speaker 2: you have a writer? Not I wouldn't say it's a writer.
Speaker 2: But if I'm going to go to something like this,
Speaker 2: When you worked in the business, you had access to
Speaker 2: everything and anything, because people would want to come to
Speaker 2: your concerts that you were working for your label, and
Speaker 2: you would extend that courtesy in return. It's like we
Speaker 2: had Janet Jackson, Hey you got Jenet tickets? We can
Speaker 2: you know, can have Yeah, we'd have some hold over
Speaker 2: tickets and we give them out to friends within the industry.
Speaker 2: But it was with the understanding, when you have an
Speaker 2: artist that I want to see, you do the same
Speaker 2: for me. And you made sure that we all had
Speaker 2: backstage passes and access, or you can come to like
Speaker 2: the after party and meet the artists or something like that.
Speaker 2: Those are the things that I'm accustomed to.
Speaker 4: I'm a big fan of writers with insane star demands
Speaker 4: on them, like they're calligial. Like if you had a writer,
Speaker 4: you would make somebody pick the olives off your pizza
Speaker 4: and and sit, you know, a couple couple bottles of
Speaker 4: jack in your green room.
Speaker 2: Yes, but I wouldn't make people touch my pizza. I
Speaker 2: would just say, don't order any pizza with black olives.
Speaker 2: I just give him the order.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you have to pick the who's
Speaker 3: ordered him that the first place.
Speaker 2: By the way, I should would say pepperoni and sausage pizza.
Speaker 4: Let me point out the delicious irony that you, as
Speaker 4: an Olive hater, work in a building on Olive Street.
Speaker 2: It's not the first time. When I worked for the
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra is at Olive Avenue to Olive
Speaker 2: Street downtown. Except your destiny, MO, No Olive. Just because
Speaker 2: Olive is going to be around me, it doesn't mean
Speaker 2: that it's going to be on my pizza. You say so,
Speaker 2: oh oh, no, I'm positive. I am positive KF I
Speaker 2: am six forty. We live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: I've never met Bill Maher. We have friends in common,
Speaker 2: so I can't say anything about him personally. I know
Speaker 2: he knows of me because of these friends I should
Speaker 2: say former friend. We have in common. I've written about him,
Speaker 2: talked about him number of occasions. I don't expect ever
Speaker 2: to get an invite on his TV show because I've
Speaker 2: never really spoken of him in glowing terms. But he's
Speaker 2: back in the news for his Oscar commentary, and I
Speaker 2: want you to listen to this, and for me, it's
Speaker 2: confirmation that he listens to later with Moe Kelly. Even
Speaker 2: if he denies it, I'm running with it. It's confirmation.
Speaker 2: He listens to the show. He's in a conversation. This
Speaker 2: was on a show Friday, and he wants to make
Speaker 2: the argument that Emilia Perez did not win the Oscar
Speaker 2: for Best Picture and it was due to cancel culture.
Speaker 2: Listen to this.
Speaker 5: Well, but there are people who say cancel culture isn't
Speaker 5: a real thing.
Speaker 2: And ah, there it is. See see he listens said
Speaker 2: later with mo Kelly, he's talking about me.
Speaker 5: Well, but there are people who say cancel culture isn't
Speaker 5: a real thing. And I would say to them, it
Speaker 5: just happened again at the Oscars. Now you may not
Speaker 5: think it happened. But the movie that was gonna win
Speaker 5: it all was Amelia Peretz.
Speaker 2: Right. That's not true. That's not true. I want you
Speaker 2: to put a pin in.
Speaker 5: That was Amelia Peretz, right.
Speaker 2: And you know, I got it.
Speaker 5: Hollywood love this. They're finally going to have a person
Speaker 5: who was a trans person. God bless her. And she
Speaker 5: did a great job. And I read her tweets. It's
Speaker 5: just a little childlike in her tweets, you know, And
Speaker 5: that I sent it just a little Kanye ask just
Speaker 5: whatever's on the brain comes out. I mean, one, you
Speaker 5: know Hitler, just don't mention Hitler at all. I feel
Speaker 5: like it never comes out good. And then some things
Speaker 5: she said which are just oh yeah, you know what
Speaker 5: I've said, things like that. It's just very, very honest.
Speaker 5: But of course for the woke community, it was way
Speaker 5: too far. And this movie that was gonna win it all.
Speaker 2: It was never gonna win it all, but go ahead, Bill,
Speaker 2: go off, gonna win it all.
Speaker 5: It was the front runner and she was gonna get
Speaker 5: it all.
Speaker 2: It was not the front runner.
Speaker 5: Front runner and she was gonna get it all. Suddenly
Speaker 5: was out to lunch, and good news for an Aura.
Speaker 5: That's what happened. So, yes, cancel culture is still with us.
Speaker 5: It may just be a little more subtle.
Speaker 2: Bill Maher won't be the first time, but he's definitely
Speaker 2: wrong on this one. I'll get to the whole cancel
Speaker 2: culture aspect of his commentary in just a second. If
Speaker 2: you know anything about the Academy Awards, the voting period
Speaker 2: for the actual Oscars is February eleventh. The voting begins
Speaker 2: and the voting ends on February eighteenth, so you just
Speaker 2: had a week in there. One week after that, we
Speaker 2: had predictions from all the top entertainment outlets as far
Speaker 2: as which film was expected to win the Oscar for
Speaker 2: Best Picture. And mind you, I'm not disregarding that Amilia
Speaker 2: Perez won a Golden Globe for I think Best Film
Speaker 2: Comedy or Musical, but it was one of two films
Speaker 2: that did well at the Golden Globes. And you also
Speaker 2: had The Brutalists, which won. So there were two movies
Speaker 2: coming out of the Golden Globes in theory which could
Speaker 2: be considered a front runner for the Oscar. That's the
Speaker 2: first piece of information. Hollywood Reporter predicted Anora to win
Speaker 2: Best Picture. They had a Milia Perez sixth Deadline said
Speaker 2: the race is wide open. Yeahoo News predicted Anorra. Variety
Speaker 2: predicted Anora. Entertainment Weekly, Say It with Me predicted an
Speaker 2: Rotten Tomatoes predicted Conclave. It's dark horse Anura. There was
Speaker 2: not any one predicting that Emilia Perez was the front runner.
Speaker 2: And let's say Emilia Perez was the front runner. Was
Speaker 2: was it the movie the front runner? Liked to me
Speaker 2: Moore because to me, Moore was the front runner and
Speaker 2: had all the momentum, and she did not win Best Actress.
Speaker 2: So just because you think someone's going to win, it
Speaker 2: doesn't need to be some sort of conspiracy or some
Speaker 2: sort of social statement why a movie does not win.
Speaker 2: And if you looked at the history of Amelia Perez,
Speaker 2: it was largely disliked by GLAD and other organizations. They
Speaker 2: did not like the depiction of a transperson at all.
Speaker 2: And to say that it is somehow the woke mob
Speaker 2: was the reason that the PI did not win is
Speaker 2: to deny all facts as we know it. Mark, you
Speaker 2: looked like he had something to say.
Speaker 4: I was just contemplating whether researchers had taken the time
Speaker 4: to count up the lost hours spent by Bill Maher
Speaker 4: complaining and whining about cancel culture. Can you think of
Speaker 4: anything more painful apart from say, Bill Maher and Barry
Speaker 4: Weiss whining about canceled culture, or thir Jordan Peterson in
Speaker 4: there while you're at it, there's a real brain trust.
Speaker 2: It's weird because the people who complain most about cancel
Speaker 2: culture have never been canceled. Number one, and of all
Speaker 2: the controversial things that Bill Maher has said over the
Speaker 2: years he has never lost a platform. Yes, his politically
Speaker 2: incorrect show on ABC was canceled, but all shows are
Speaker 2: canceled for lack of ratings of what have you. But
Speaker 2: real time, he says whatever he wants without consequence.
Speaker 4: Now, honestly, I used to be quite a fan of his,
Speaker 4: and I interviewed him, and I read the novel that
Speaker 4: he wrote, and it was actually pretty good. But I
Speaker 4: think he's really turned into an old Dunning Krueger case
Speaker 4: in his later years.
Speaker 2: He thinks very highly of himself. Let me just say
Speaker 2: the least, let me put it that way. But I'm
Speaker 2: going to say this since I know that Bill is
Speaker 2: listening right now or someone will report back to him.
Speaker 2: There is no cancel culture because mel Gibson is doing okay.
Speaker 2: Last I checked.
Speaker 4: Oh, he's even getting his guns back right, and he
Speaker 4: is taking a prominent role in California politics.
Speaker 2: He is not in any way canceled. Now, let's not
Speaker 2: confuse someone who was controversial with someone who has been canceled.
Speaker 2: I can't think of anyone who's been canceled. Has someone
Speaker 2: maybe lost an opportunity or maybe lessen the size of
Speaker 2: their stardom, Yes, but I would interpret canceled as some
Speaker 2: sort of definitive and finalized status in Hollywood.
Speaker 4: Don't you think, Mo, that most adults can process the
Speaker 4: fact that there are repercussions in the real world for
Speaker 4: things that you say and do.
Speaker 2: Yes, And maybe they're more repercussions now because of social media,
Speaker 2: people have more of a voice to at least be heard.
Speaker 2: I think if we had social media fifteen twenty years ago, yeah,
Speaker 2: there might have been a little more pushback against certain
Speaker 2: movies or certain comedians, but there was no voice back then.
Speaker 2: But now have you noticed Dave Chappelle not canceled very controversial,
Speaker 2: has had a lot of fed up things to say
Speaker 2: about the trans community. If you can't cancel a comedian,
Speaker 2: I don't see how you can say that cancel culture
Speaker 2: is now ruining entertainment. When comedians, for example, have been
Speaker 2: more brash, more outlandish, arguably more offensive than in past
Speaker 2: fifteen twenty.
Speaker 4: Years, cancel culture is not a thing. Even the guy
Speaker 4: who the comedian who did the RNC that made everybody
Speaker 4: so angry, I read that he just got his own special.
Speaker 2: That's my point. That is exactly my point. And as
Speaker 2: for all the negativity that comedy routine yielded it was
Speaker 2: actually a boon for his career. Bill Barr, you are
Speaker 2: wrong in every single possible way. There is no cancel culture.
Speaker 2: There are certain consequences, and your career may be limited
Speaker 2: if you're just an a hole and no one wants
Speaker 2: to work with you. But that's completely different. That's not
Speaker 2: someone just making a group decision that you will not
Speaker 2: have a place in entertainment. It just means that you
Speaker 2: won't be as popular as you were before. Ask Will Smith,
Speaker 2: he hasn't been canceled. And he slapped the crap out
Speaker 2: of a man on live TV, committed assault and battery
Speaker 2: for the whole world to see, and they act like, well,
Speaker 2: here's your oscar that same night, didn't even ask him
Speaker 2: to leave the building, and his only punishment was, well,
Speaker 2: you can't come back to the show for the next
Speaker 2: ten years. Oh okay. If that doesn't get you canceled,
Speaker 2: I don't know what will.
Speaker 1: You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: And We're on the precipice of another Dodger season, World Champion,
Speaker 2: World Series Champion Dodgers, and I'm so excited I just
Speaker 2: know that there is this process where, especially in today's world,
Speaker 2: when a team wins and you want your team to win.
Speaker 2: If you are a sports fan, if you're a Dodgers fan,
Speaker 2: you want the Dodgers to win. If you're unfortunately an
Speaker 2: Angels fan, well that's not gonna happen, but you still
Speaker 2: want them to win. And there's a price that comes
Speaker 2: with it. Part of what makes the Dodgers organization so
Speaker 2: successful for the past i'll say decade or so, they're
Speaker 2: willing to spend money, they're willing to take big risks,
Speaker 2: and they're willing to do whatever it takes to put
Speaker 2: the most talent on the field. That means signing someone
Speaker 2: like show Hey Otani to a seven hundred million dollar
Speaker 2: deal and deferring a lot of it into the future,
Speaker 2: meaning show hey Otani could get hurt or have a
Speaker 2: career ending injury and the Dodgers would still be on
Speaker 2: the hook for most of that seven hundred million dollars.
Speaker 2: They've gone out and gotten some of the best players
Speaker 2: from around the world, Japan, Korea and other places, and
Speaker 2: they'd been consistent in that regard. But the flip side
Speaker 2: is there is a cost to it. A mean, I
Speaker 2: mean a literal financial cost. If you're going to pay
Speaker 2: the big bucks for these players, then invariably that is
Speaker 2: going to be passed on to consumers and there's no
Speaker 2: way around it. We saw it happen with the Lakers
Speaker 2: in Showtime. The Lakers were almost they were on the
Speaker 2: verge of bankruptcy. Then they got Magic Johnson and James
Speaker 2: Worthy and other players and they made a commitment to them.
Speaker 2: But it also meant the tickets to see the Lakers
Speaker 2: games in the nineteen eighties they became really, really expensive,
Speaker 2: and that's part of the reason why you saw so
Speaker 2: many celebrities there. It was the place to be. The
Speaker 2: Dodgers are having a similar type of resurgence, and it's
Speaker 2: going to be very expensive going forward if you want
Speaker 2: to see a game in person. There are a few
Speaker 2: people here who have season tickets. I know Amon King
Speaker 2: has season tickets and Nick Polly Chinny will catch a
Speaker 2: few games over the course of the year, and I've
Speaker 2: caught a few over the course of the year. But
Speaker 2: you're almost going to have to treat Dodger Stadium like
Speaker 2: Disneyland in respect that it's going to cost a lot
Speaker 2: of money going forward. To take a family afored it's
Speaker 2: going to be almost like a family vacation. Maybe you
Speaker 2: didn't know the average price of Dodgers tickets home or away.
Speaker 2: In other words, they're a big draw, even on the road.
Speaker 2: Average price one hundred and eighty one dollars, and that's
Speaker 2: over forty dollars more than the next highest average ticket price,
Speaker 2: the Boston Red Sox. For me, as someone who loves
Speaker 2: the Dodgers but doesn't feel the need to go to
Speaker 2: Dodger games all that often, it's great because as far
Speaker 2: as I'm concerned, it costs the same amount on my
Speaker 2: TV until they renegotiate that that package, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean. So I'm not spending more money this year
Speaker 2: on the Dodgers than I did previously. That's okay. But
Speaker 2: if you plan and see a lot of games, you're
Speaker 2: gonna pay a lot of money. And if you wonder, well, okay,
Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty one dollars and it's four forty
Speaker 2: dollars more than the Boston Red Sox. Give me some context,
Speaker 2: all right, here's your context. It's a twenty five percent
Speaker 2: increase from the average price of Dodgers tickets just last year.
Speaker 2: Twenty five percent increase in one year, and that is
Speaker 2: the second largest year over year increase among all teams.
Speaker 2: Only the Detroit Tigers twenty nine percent saw a bigger
Speaker 2: increase in ticket prices. And I'm wondering that Detroit Tigers
Speaker 2: haven't won anything and I don't know how long and
Speaker 2: they jumped up twenty nine percent. I don't know who's
Speaker 2: paying that, But the Dodgers also account for three of
Speaker 2: the most expensive single game tickets in the upcoming season.
Speaker 2: Aside from the Major League Baseball All Star Game, which
Speaker 2: is eight hundred and thirty seven dollars average ticket price,
Speaker 2: the home opener against the Detroit Tigers six hundred and
Speaker 2: four dollars, and the back to back of New York
Speaker 2: Key's matchups near the end of June, four hundred and
Speaker 2: thirty six dollars and four hundred and fourteen dollars are
Speaker 2: projected to be the most expensive single game tickets this season.
Speaker 2: I can't imagine spending six hundred dollars on a single
Speaker 2: baseball game, but it is reminiscent of the Lakers when
Speaker 2: you have those court side seats that started going for
Speaker 2: thousands of dollars. You know, even up till today. I
Speaker 2: don't even know how much they are today, but when
Speaker 2: the team started winning consistently, that is a byproduct of it. Now,
Speaker 2: the LA market has made it very clear as far
Speaker 2: as attendance. The Dodgers continue to lead Baseball or near
Speaker 2: the top in attendance every single season, so they've obviously
Speaker 2: the organization has made this calculation where even though we
Speaker 2: may be raising prices, we know that the fan base
Speaker 2: will still support the team. They just have to keep
Speaker 2: winning because Dodger Stadium is one of the crown jewels
Speaker 2: in all baseball. I don't know if there's a better
Speaker 2: place to watch a baseball game. I've been to maybe
Speaker 2: seven or eight of the existing parks. Dodger Stadium is
Speaker 2: still near the top in summer, especially in the evening.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you can get a better view
Speaker 2: in the stadium. It is a gorgeous place to watch.
Speaker 2: The stadium and they keep updating the stadium to keep
Speaker 2: it as fan friendly as possible. The seats are better
Speaker 2: now than when I was a kid. The whole experience,
Speaker 2: the food is a lot better than when I was
Speaker 2: a kid. I mean they offer I mean, don't get
Speaker 2: me wrong, still love Dodger Dogs, but they have other
Speaker 2: food offerings to complement them, which makes it more of
Speaker 2: a modern feel because Dodger Stadium for decades was way
Speaker 2: behind the newer stadiums as far as the food offerings,
Speaker 2: and they've caught up in that regard. But you're going
Speaker 2: to have to pay for this team, which is on
Speaker 2: the field, it's a fantastic amalgamation of talent. They're far
Speaker 2: and away the favorites to win the World Series, from
Speaker 2: the hitting up to the pitching rotation. But you're gonna
Speaker 2: have to pay a pretty penny. I'm not I'm stay
Speaker 2: my ass at home and watch on TV. That's the
Speaker 2: best place to do it. But for those who have
Speaker 2: season tickets, since it's gonna be very difficult to keep
Speaker 2: those seats up from year to year. Mark, have you
Speaker 2: been to a Dodger game yet since you've been down here.
Speaker 4: No, Someday you and I are going to go and
Speaker 4: I'll enjoy a thirty dollars light beer and a twenty
Speaker 4: dollars hot dog and we'll have a great day.
Speaker 2: Well, since our partner station is AM five seventy LA Sports,
Speaker 2: in other words, the Dodger station, I might know some
Speaker 2: folks over there who might be able to help us
Speaker 2: with some tickets. I feel like I need to go
Speaker 2: at least once. Right, No, you have to go. And
Speaker 2: I say this as someone who has any appreciation of baseball.
Speaker 4: You gotta go to Dodger Stadium. Well, I don't hate
Speaker 4: America for God's sake, So let's get this show on
Speaker 4: the road. Okay, I think I can call some folks
Speaker 4: and make it happen. Did you know that our boss
Speaker 4: knows people over at AM five to seventy? No?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're making stuff up now, I know if I aim.
Speaker 2: Since forty we're live everywhere Heartradio app.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: It's almost like a reveal party, you know, you get
Speaker 2: to find out the sex of the eventual child that's
Speaker 2: going to be born. Well, the new James Bond actors
Speaker 2: gender and nationality have been confirmed by Amazon MGM Studios,
Speaker 2: reportedly through an internal memo. This was a thing at
Speaker 2: the company, according to this internal memo, and I'm sure
Speaker 2: Mark Roner will have something to say about this. MGM
Speaker 2: Amazon Studios will not be changing the gender or nationality
Speaker 2: of the iconic.
Speaker 4: Spy, the guy from Amelia Perez is not going to
Speaker 4: do it, nor with a woman. Sorry, yes, let's let's
Speaker 4: be correct. I wasn't intentional.
Speaker 2: According to this internal memo, the actor will reportedly continue
Speaker 2: to be British or from the Commonwealth. And I sometimes
Speaker 2: get this mixed up. To be British refers to anything
Speaker 2: related to Great Britain, which includes England, Scotland and Wales,
Speaker 2: and while English specifically refers to only England. And this
Speaker 2: is something which has always bothered me. Why supposedly Bond
Speaker 2: has to be British or Scottish or English, but we
Speaker 2: don't have that same expectation of iconic American characters.
Speaker 4: Well you wouldn't want Steve Rogers to be from another
Speaker 4: country and have an obvious accent, would you. All right,
Speaker 4: all right, I'm glad you did that. Why is it
Speaker 4: Superman with Henry Cavill because he can pass right?
Speaker 2: But I'm saying it's called acting for a reason.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, and you should know by the way, that
Speaker 4: George Lazenbee, the second Bond, was Australian. He was Australian, huh.
Speaker 4: And when they were looking around to replace him, James Brolin,
Speaker 4: Adam West, Batman, and John Gavin was actually hired for
Speaker 4: it before Connery came back. Those were all Americans.
Speaker 2: Spider Man Tom Holland he's English. So we don't have
Speaker 2: the same type of expectations for our characters other than
Speaker 2: just don't remind us that you're British or English when
Speaker 2: you're speaking the lines. But for some reason, for James Bond,
Speaker 2: there has been this breading controversy that the actor saying
Speaker 2: nothing of gender, but the actor has to be of
Speaker 2: a certain nationality, which has always been strange to me
Speaker 2: because it's acting and we don't necessarily require that the
Speaker 2: actor be of a certain nationality.
Speaker 3: Ah.
Speaker 4: Yes, which is the art of being somebody who are
Speaker 4: not in real life. Yes, interesting, that's a people should
Speaker 4: run with that and try some stuff.
Speaker 2: Among the popular rumored choices for the next Bond. And
Speaker 2: I don't put any stock in this. I believe that
Speaker 2: these are just names which have been thrown around at
Speaker 2: some point in some time. Aaron Taylor Johnson, you know,
Speaker 2: he just starred in that horrible movie Craven. Yeah, that
Speaker 2: killed his career. I think Richard Madden, I think he
Speaker 2: has a jaw for it. But I don't know if
Speaker 2: he's has the acting chops for it. He was in
Speaker 2: a spy show that Citadel. Oh, Citadel was terrible. I
Speaker 2: think it was Citadel.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was in a British cop show as well
Speaker 4: that wasn't that bad. But I don't think he has
Speaker 4: the riz for Bond, do you No.
Speaker 2: I don't think so. There is something to be said
Speaker 2: for on screen persona and gravitas and you know, can
Speaker 2: he fill up the screen? And I don't think he can.
Speaker 2: It's just Elba. I don't think he was ever a serious,
Speaker 2: rumored choice. He was just someone that fans talked about. Yeah.
Speaker 4: He's also too old, regardless of the race swapping, of course,
Speaker 4: because whoever's going to be James Bond is going to
Speaker 4: have to be conceivably for the next ten years, four
Speaker 4: pictures or whatever. The way he was written, he's thirty
Speaker 4: six to forty. And that's over and above the fact
Speaker 4: that you know they would crank him out in the
Speaker 4: sixties like one every year or twobe. Now it's five years.
Speaker 4: You got to have him a certain age just so
Speaker 4: they won't be a pensioner by the time they get
Speaker 4: a third one out.
Speaker 2: Tom Hardy have you seen him lately. He is not aging?
Speaker 4: Well, no, he's not, but he's a beast and he
Speaker 4: does I think jiu jitsu.
Speaker 2: He does. I wouldn't go up against him. No, no, I'm
Speaker 2: saying when I say he's not aging, well, he looks
Speaker 2: far more grizzled than a Bond would. To me, he does.
Speaker 4: And he was kind of like a pretty androgynist, very
Speaker 4: young actor, and he's he's aged a little harsh you're.
Speaker 2: Talking about when he's doing Star Trek. Who was it?
Speaker 2: Was it Nemesis, Nemesis, Nemetics? Okay, he was Nemesis obviously,
Speaker 2: Henry cavill. I think he's too old and too physically
Speaker 2: big for the role.
Speaker 4: He would have been good at it. I've seen his audition,
Speaker 4: but he was too young at the time. Yeah, back then,
Speaker 4: but not now.
Speaker 2: I don't know who's actually going to be the next
Speaker 2: James Bond, but I do believe that because there's been
Speaker 2: so much focus on who the actor is going to be,
Speaker 2: because there's been so much infighting behind the scenes between
Speaker 2: Barbara Brockley and MGM Amazon, I don't know if people
Speaker 2: care as much now. Do you think that would be
Speaker 2: fair to say?
Speaker 4: I have seen nothing but fellow Bond fans, except that
Speaker 4: it's just kind of over. That's what I thought. The
Speaker 4: Eon years. Eon was the company that produced the canonical Bonds,
Speaker 4: not never say Never again, not the nineteen sixty seven
Speaker 4: Casino Royale. That's done, That Ara is over, and whatever
Speaker 4: comes next. If they happen to crank out something that
Speaker 4: doesn't stink, it's a bonus.
Speaker 2: I never understood the fascination with also what Bond had
Speaker 2: to look like, because Daniel Craig as a blonde Bond,
Speaker 2: I remember, received a lot of pushback then. When I
Speaker 2: saw him on screen and acting in the role and
Speaker 2: the story which they put around him, I was good
Speaker 2: with it. Now, I'm not British or English, and I
Speaker 2: don't have possibly the same cultural ties to the character,
Speaker 2: but it seemed like it turned out all right.
Speaker 4: Well Connery kind of shaped it. But he was written
Speaker 4: to look like the old musician Hogi Carmichael, you know,
Speaker 4: just a kind of a handsome guy with a comma
Speaker 4: of black hair and a scar on his face. But
Speaker 4: then then Connery turned it around and it was impossible
Speaker 4: to imagine it being anybody but him. And then you know,
Speaker 4: they rotated it like doctor who. So now there have
Speaker 4: been what six Yeah, but think about it. I don't
Speaker 4: believe Sean Connery, even in his prime, could be James
Speaker 4: Bond today. What do you mean because in a world of.
Speaker 2: The John Wicks, in a world of the born identity
Speaker 2: Jason Bourne, I don't know if Sean Connery and his
Speaker 2: affectation would he brought to the role would still be
Speaker 2: received as warmly.
Speaker 4: No, And they've really twisted themselves in the knots trying
Speaker 4: to update James Bond not to be offensive when the
Speaker 4: root of the character is that he's kind of an
Speaker 4: a hole.
Speaker 2: He's a psychotic killer. He kills without reservation or conscience.
Speaker 4: Well that's not true, but he is a killer, and
Speaker 4: he he's a loner, and he you know, he doesn't
Speaker 4: have a team like Jack Bauer in twenty four. I
Speaker 4: think a lot of people have forgotten what makes him tick.
Speaker 4: And so there's been a push even to have Pierce
Speaker 4: Brosnan comeback for an old James Bond movie. And I've
Speaker 4: reminded a few people online, which, of course those arguments
Speaker 4: are always beneficial, you always win those arguments. I've been
Speaker 4: reminding people the whole point of James Bond is that
Speaker 4: he doesn't think he's going to get old enough to
Speaker 4: have he's going to He lives like he could die
Speaker 4: at any time with zero in his bank account. Isn't
Speaker 4: that the whole point of most of the titles. Oh,
Speaker 4: at a certain point, like when they get to no
Speaker 4: time to Die, it's like an AI just generated those
Speaker 4: You're random James Bond title generator.
Speaker 2: Die another Day? I mean, how many times are live
Speaker 2: and let die? I mean how many times has die
Speaker 2: been in the title?
Speaker 4: It got to be kind of a self caricature after
Speaker 4: a while, and they got to find a way out
Speaker 4: of that, because you got to remember the character came
Speaker 4: out in the early fifties and made sense then in
Speaker 4: the context of the Cold War, and it's like that
Speaker 4: ship of THESEUS thing. You changed too many things, you
Speaker 4: might as well not call it James Bond anymore.
Speaker 2: But they did address it well, I can't remember in
Speaker 2: which movie, but they addressed the fact that the idea
Speaker 2: of a physical agent doesn't have the same type of
Speaker 2: role or necessity in that spycraft anymore because of technology.
Speaker 4: I can see that argument. And also our adversaries have
Speaker 4: changed over the decades. I mean it was Russia during
Speaker 4: the Cold Wars, certainly not Russia this week?
Speaker 2: What ever, could you mean? Our alliances change?
Speaker 4: We just got shut out of a security meeting with
Speaker 4: France and the EU, so we don't even know who
Speaker 4: Bond would be allied with. I mean, his best friend
Speaker 4: might not be the CIA guy Phoenix Felix Lighter anymore.
Speaker 2: It might be.
Speaker 4: A French agent or a Russian agent. Times have changed
Speaker 4: and you got to figure out. I would love to
Speaker 4: see a James Bond actually set in the fifties. And
Speaker 4: now now that we've seen how say well that Serial
Speaker 4: Killer show on Netflix, the David Fincher show, how they
Speaker 4: can transform a city to look like it was seventies
Speaker 4: La or something, you could make a fifties James Bond
Speaker 4: and it would look good.
Speaker 2: I think that would be a better series and movie
Speaker 2: than a contemporary one. Yeah, like a Madman era James Bond.
