Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: It's a Letter with mo Kelly live on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook,
Speaker 2: and the iHeartRadio app. And I continue to be of
Speaker 2: the opinion that the movies coming out this particular summer
Speaker 2: season are doing wonders for movie theaters. They are staying
Speaker 2: in theaters longer. Part of the reason is because they
Speaker 2: are performing better. You have a movie like F one,
Speaker 2: which is not necessarily overperforming but doing very well. It
Speaker 2: added seventy one theaters this past week. They're talking about
Speaker 2: a sequel to F one. The way they set it up,
Speaker 2: and we've talked about I don't want to give any spoilers,
Speaker 2: but the way they set it up they put let
Speaker 2: me just say, like this, they passed the baton in
Speaker 2: the movie, and they basically showed you that there was
Speaker 2: more story they could tell if they want to in
Speaker 2: F two, it's better than an FU F one coming
Speaker 2: in at number one this week. Speaking of one, is
Speaker 2: Jurassic World Rebirth. If you didn't hear my conversation with
Speaker 2: both Mark and Mark as in Mark Thompson and Mark Runner,
Speaker 2: Jurassic World Rebirth did three hundred and twenty two million
Speaker 2: dollars across the fullness of the fourth of July weekend.
Speaker 3: That is amazing.
Speaker 2: One hundred and forty seven million domestically and one hundred
Speaker 2: and seventy five million or so internationally, which is pretty
Speaker 2: well balanced. But you can see how the international community.
Speaker 2: Was it you who made the point mark about the
Speaker 2: universality of dinosaurs?
Speaker 4: No, I think it was Thompson, But you know it
Speaker 4: is the universal language people getting eaten by dinosaurs.
Speaker 2: It's what they call high concept, real, simple to understand.
Speaker 3: Everyone gets it.
Speaker 2: Dangerous dinosaurs, people over confident humans go in.
Speaker 3: Only a few walk out alive. Now do you plan
Speaker 3: on seeing this?
Speaker 4: Because I saw the first batch of them in one
Speaker 4: of the Chris Pratt movies and I thought, okay, time
Speaker 4: to cut your losses.
Speaker 3: It's the same thing over and over. I'm a hypocrite.
Speaker 2: I will say that the same thing happens over and over,
Speaker 2: but I still will watch it. My level of expectations
Speaker 2: will vary greatly. I don't have any expectations for it,
Speaker 2: but I watch Jurassic Park movies like to Wallow say,
Speaker 2: he's gonna watch all the Marvel movies, even the ones
Speaker 2: that are Sony produced. You don't have high expectations for him,
Speaker 2: but you'll still see them.
Speaker 3: I'll still see it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is a when it comes to streaming, I'll
Speaker 5: need to rush out and see this on Imax and
Speaker 5: pay theater money. And now when it comes to streaming cool.
Speaker 5: I will say this though, and this is very good
Speaker 5: for Scarlet Johansen because this is a big movie where
Speaker 5: she is the lead, and I am happy that she
Speaker 5: is getting some shy.
Speaker 2: And it's not Marvel, you know, it's a huge movie.
Speaker 2: And there was a question, and well, I guess there
Speaker 2: maybe is still a question whether she can be the
Speaker 2: star by herself. It's still somewhat ensemble cast. I mean,
Speaker 2: you have, like Maharscha Ali's an Academy Award winner, so
Speaker 2: there are other folks that surrounding her.
Speaker 3: But I'm happy for her. I'm proud of her.
Speaker 4: Well, I had read earlier in the day that she
Speaker 4: is now the most profitable female actress in history because
Speaker 4: of all the big hits she's been in.
Speaker 2: Yep, that makes sense if you think about it, you know,
Speaker 2: just her Marvel resume, all those movies.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that makes sense. So I think she can open
Speaker 3: a movie.
Speaker 2: Well, the question has always been not opening a movie,
Speaker 2: but whether she can carry a movie. When she did,
Speaker 2: the movie like Lucy didn't do well. Are you sure
Speaker 2: about that?
Speaker 4: I'm positive and I know her Black Widow movie didn't
Speaker 4: exactly set the world on fire.
Speaker 5: But Black Widow there's a caveat Remember that came out
Speaker 5: during COVID.
Speaker 3: No, it's only got a week in theaters.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so that was very unfair because Black Widow is
Speaker 5: still one of the best Marvel produced movies. I mean
Speaker 5: just it's solid through and through. Had that come out theaters,
Speaker 5: I think it definitely would have performed.
Speaker 4: Oh, I didn't know you thought that. I thought it
Speaker 4: was just kind of okay. No, No, I like that,
Speaker 4: all right.
Speaker 2: I thought it was better than okay, but not great.
Speaker 2: I thought it was better than Thunderbolts.
Speaker 3: Oh. Hard disagree on that. Why you're saying Thunderbolts was
Speaker 3: better than Black Widow? Hard disagree. You're losing your touch. Okay,
Speaker 3: whoa man?
Speaker 4: Wow, I like it when we get to the point
Speaker 4: of disagreement where one of us has to be insane.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're there.
Speaker 2: We are there, standing outside the door, just walking through. Okay,
Speaker 2: Jurassic World Rebirth number one this week. F one the
Speaker 2: movie number two. We mentioned. It's now at two hundred
Speaker 2: and ninety four million, So as good as F one
Speaker 2: has done so far, it's still thirty nine million or
Speaker 2: so behind Jurassic World Rebirth after only one week. So
Speaker 2: that i'd tell you just how well Jurassic World Rebirth
Speaker 2: is performing. How to Train Your Dragon is still doing
Speaker 2: well in this fourth week. Came in third with another
Speaker 2: eleven million. Domestically, it's over a half a billion. Now,
Speaker 2: I don't think people will real realistically expecting that to
Speaker 2: do a half a billion.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Elio is number four this week with five point seven
Speaker 2: million for overall tepid amount of ninety seven million. There
Speaker 2: are a lot of movies would love to break one
Speaker 2: hundred million, but not a Pixar movie that's seen as
Speaker 2: a major disappointment. Yeah, yeah, Mark, have you gotten a
Speaker 2: chance to see Megan two point oho yet? No?
Speaker 4: But let me no, I haven't, But a lot of
Speaker 4: my fellow horror nerds have recommended it solely by virtue
Speaker 4: of just how batcrap crazy it is reportedly to get
Speaker 4: it reported to get hey, I can't speak English tonight.
Speaker 4: It's reported to get at the end, if that makes
Speaker 4: sense to you after three stabs at that sentence.
Speaker 2: Yeah, But going back to the whole idea of horror movies,
Speaker 2: Megan two point oh. It's budget was between fifteen and
Speaker 2: twenty five million, and even though it has been a
Speaker 2: disappointment air quotes given the box office, it's still cross
Speaker 2: thirty one million, and it will stay in theaters long
Speaker 2: enough still to turn a profit, which goes back to
Speaker 2: the point even a bad or a badly received horror
Speaker 2: movie is likely going to make.
Speaker 4: Money, So we're gonna get a three point oh oh absolutely, yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: See kind of like to Tula's point about Jurassic Park,
Speaker 6: I caught that one on streaming, and that's definitely where
Speaker 6: I'm waiting for that one to come out, because it's
Speaker 6: not like you got to see all the you know,
Speaker 6: the special effects and everything, and it was fun.
Speaker 2: It was okay first one. But they're like eight movies,
Speaker 2: no Megan, oh, I thought talking about dressing. No, No, I'm sorry. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the first one that Megan was was it was fun.
Speaker 2: It was a good movie. So it's like, yeah, just
Speaker 2: wait till it comes on streaming.
Speaker 4: Those both seem like the kind of movies where you
Speaker 4: look at the trailer and you think there can't possibly
Speaker 4: be anything else. But I'm hearing some pretty enthusiastic stuff
Speaker 4: about two.
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll find out. Leilo and Stitch came in seventh
Speaker 2: this week with three point eight million. It is nine
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy four million, has an outside shot at
Speaker 2: a billion.
Speaker 3: Maybe the.
Speaker 2: Disney will chip in the last twenty six million and
Speaker 2: buy the tickets, which is not unheard of from being serious. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: Mission Impossible, Final Reckoning in eighth spot. It is now
Speaker 2: five hundred and seventy six million worldwide and Materialists and
Speaker 2: it's it's fourth week. That's a twenty four. They're very
Speaker 2: good at small budget movies. Has gross forty five million,
Speaker 2: and I know its budget was not forty five million,
Speaker 2: So it's turning a profit. And that's about it. Ballerina
Speaker 2: it's in its fifth week. It fell out of the
Speaker 2: top ten, and I wonder with one hundred and eight million,
Speaker 2: is that a success. I don't know what the budget is,
Speaker 2: let's look it up real quick. Not for the job,
Speaker 2: WI Yeah, I don't think so.
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I don't know if I'm in the minority here,
Speaker 6: but I don't remember seeing a lot of marketing for that,
Speaker 6: Like I just knew it because of you guys talking
Speaker 6: about it so much because you're John Wick fans. The
Speaker 6: budget's eighty to ninety million, so that doesn't say to
Speaker 6: me that the John Wick universe is solid.
Speaker 2: People like John Wick. And you know, Keanu Reeves was
Speaker 2: in the movie. I haven't seen it, but he was
Speaker 2: also in a movie, and that was not enough for
Speaker 2: it to turn it into anything.
Speaker 5: Well, because when you see Keanu in the trailer, it
Speaker 5: almost looks as if it's a glorified cameo. It doesn't
Speaker 5: look as if he's co starring or has a major role.
Speaker 5: It looks like she's done all this thing, she being
Speaker 5: the ballerina, has done all this stuff. And then, at
Speaker 5: some point or another, for some reason we don't understand,
Speaker 5: Keanu Reeves shows up and we're all like, but isn't
Speaker 5: he dead? So it's weird it did that him, and
Speaker 5: the trailer didn't play well. Well, it's more than a cameo,
Speaker 5: but less than a co starring role. But it is
Speaker 5: between three and four, isn't it timeline?
Speaker 4: Yes, so he's not dead yet, he hasn't been resurrected
Speaker 4: at the time of Ballerina, I could do without a
Speaker 4: sequel to it. I didn't think Anna diarmis really oozed
Speaker 4: charisma as an uns stoppable killing machine.
Speaker 2: I've never bought her and her action scenes, even in
Speaker 2: the James Bond, I just didn't buy it. And it's
Speaker 2: not her as an actress. I think it's her slight
Speaker 2: build and sometimes things can be a little too choreographed.
Speaker 4: M Now, this is choreographed at the Ying Yang, and
Speaker 4: she does find in the in the choreographed action and
Speaker 4: they throw her through a lot of balsa wood walls
Speaker 4: and furniture, but it just I don't know. And it's
Speaker 4: beautifully photographed, the sets are cool, but she just doesn't
Speaker 4: have the riz to be like a female James Bond
Speaker 4: or female John Wick.
Speaker 2: We were talking about this on the chat where there
Speaker 2: are some actors and actresses that you can tell they're
Speaker 2: really pushing to become stars, and I'm not sure whether
Speaker 2: they are stars.
Speaker 5: And like that guy that's going to be in the
Speaker 5: Total Recall, Glenn Powell, Yes, they keep trying with this.
Speaker 2: Guy, don't I don't know. Glenn Powell. To me, I
Speaker 2: like him, but not as the star. I like him
Speaker 2: in the cast.
Speaker 5: Yes, he's a fine actor, is part of the team,
Speaker 5: but they keep Look, they did the Tornado remake with him, Twisters,
Speaker 5: they're they did the Top Gun redo with him. Now
Speaker 5: they're doing the Total Recall and and none of these
Speaker 5: Well okay, you know I'm a diehard fan of Maverick.
Speaker 5: But but but but still not him.
Speaker 3: Well maybe maybe the ladies like him. No, that's part
Speaker 3: of it. That's part of it. There there, they're the
Speaker 3: ladies like this. Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 2: I think people they're looking for they're looking for the
Speaker 2: next at least in a look sense, the next Supercarne.
Speaker 3: Look this guy, because you're the only like, are you
Speaker 3: looking for this guy?
Speaker 7: On?
Speaker 3: Checking for him?
Speaker 5: He's handsome, but it's not something I would not run
Speaker 5: to the movies to go see him.
Speaker 2: But see, this thing is it's not necessarily about the
Speaker 2: sex appeal, because it wasn't Arnold and sex appeal, talk
Speaker 2: about original total recall. It wasn't even Tom Cruise an
Speaker 2: original sex appeal. I don't think. I think Glenn Powell
Speaker 2: is passable enough, and they're trying to turn him into
Speaker 2: this world wide star. I don't have anything against him.
Speaker 2: I think I've seen everything that he's been in, but
Speaker 2: I don't know if he moves the needle.
Speaker 3: Yeah for a movie like Twistlers.
Speaker 2: And also everything he's done, for the most part has
Speaker 2: been a remake, reboot, or sequel. Yeah, yeah, I don't
Speaker 2: know if he can can start a franchise.
Speaker 3: Yes, he do anything on his own. Yeah, no, he cannot. Well,
Speaker 3: he's gonna have a chance.
Speaker 2: Well that's beside the point, because no one should be
Speaker 2: remaking Total Recall a second time inside of twenty years,
Speaker 2: thirty years from the original.
Speaker 3: But still, I'm sorry. Not in October, he's doing Running.
Speaker 5: And the problem is is I don't know why they're
Speaker 5: calling it running. And when you watch the trailer, we're like,
Speaker 5: what does this have to do with the original movie?
Speaker 2: The original was more like an on set game show
Speaker 2: with elements outside the set. You know, if they could
Speaker 2: bring back Richard Dawson, that would be cool. This one,
Speaker 2: he's just running around the city and it's and I
Speaker 2: saw the the trailer looks like the perse Yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: some other version of purs because everyone's trying to kill
Speaker 2: them in broad daylight. It's like, that doesn't make sense.
Speaker 2: And the trailer was too damn long. They showed too
Speaker 2: much of the movie. I kind of know how the
Speaker 2: whole movie goes. Now, Yeah, some of these trailers are
Speaker 2: like almost four minutes long.
Speaker 3: And then that was the first trailer.
Speaker 2: No, you expect to get a second and third before
Speaker 2: the movie comes out. That's not usually a good sign.
Speaker 2: KFI AM six forty Live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: When we come back. Speaking of remix, reboots, sequels, did
Speaker 2: you know that they're doing a sequelized television series to
Speaker 2: One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest Hal's No.
Speaker 4: I emailed myself that item just to bring it up
Speaker 4: with Hels.
Speaker 3: No, that's next.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3: Kf I AM six forty is Later with Moe Kelly.
Speaker 2: We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app and social media.
Speaker 2: I remember when my father introduced me to the movie
Speaker 2: One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, and of course I
Speaker 2: could not understand all of it when it came out
Speaker 2: in nineteen seventy five, but my father was known to
Speaker 2: introduce me to stuff I shouldn't be watching at that age.
Speaker 2: I appreciated it a lot more as I got older,
Speaker 2: and the complexity of the different mental states of the
Speaker 2: people in that insane asylum. And it's one of the
Speaker 2: greatest movies of all time. Obviously, great performance by Jack Nicholson.
Speaker 2: If you think about the other people who were in
Speaker 2: the movie who were stars today or were stars before
Speaker 2: they passed, Gapman Brothers, Danny DeVito, there's so many people.
Speaker 2: Louise Fletcher, who played Nurse Ratchet, is just a great, great,
Speaker 2: great movie. It's set in nineteen sixty three. The movie
Speaker 2: was released in November of nineteen seventy five. It will
Speaker 2: be fifty years old this year. And this is part
Speaker 2: of the reason why probably someone's trying to do one
Speaker 2: flew over the Cuckoo's Nest spinoff series. The original source material,
Speaker 2: in which the movie is loosely based, is told from
Speaker 2: the perspective of Chief Bromden, one of the characters in
Speaker 2: the movie. The movie doesn't tell the story from Chief
Speaker 2: Bromdam's perspective. This subsequent series is supposed to be in
Speaker 2: alignment with the original source material and tell the story,
Speaker 2: which is a look ahead of years from Chief Bromdham's
Speaker 2: vantage point. The only problem is, I should say, one
Speaker 2: of the many problems is I don't want this. I
Speaker 2: want no parts of it. And it would tell the
Speaker 2: story what happens to Chief Bromdom and maybe some of
Speaker 2: the others after they get out of the Insane asylum,
Speaker 2: after they escaped. That is not interesting to me, because well,
Speaker 2: let me put it this way. The way if you
Speaker 2: want to advance a story, especially when we were talking
Speaker 2: about a legendary piece like One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest,
Speaker 2: I would more listen to you if you had some
Speaker 2: of the original cast, If you got Danny DeVito, Jack Nicholson,
Speaker 2: maybe a couple.
Speaker 3: Other people, I'll hear you out. But you don't.
Speaker 2: It's almost like if you took Cobra Kai, which picked
Speaker 2: up the Karate Kids story some forty years later, but
Speaker 2: without the original actors. It doesn't have the same type
Speaker 2: of appeal. I mean, because if you're gonna sit me
Speaker 2: down for something that's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest,
Speaker 2: I need to feel like this.
Speaker 7: You're voluntary scan one billy. For Christ's sakes, you must
Speaker 7: be committed, right, No, No, you're just a young kid.
Speaker 7: What are you doing here. You gotta be out in
Speaker 7: the convertible bird, dog and chicks and beaver. What are
Speaker 7: you doing here? For Christ's say? It's funny about that, Jesus.
Speaker 7: I mean, you guys do nothing but complain about how
Speaker 7: you can't stand it in this place here, and then
Speaker 7: you haven't got the.
Speaker 3: Guts just to walk out.
Speaker 7: What do you think you are, for Christy crazy or something? Well,
Speaker 7: you're not, You're not. You're no crazier in the average
Speaker 7: all out walking around on the streets, and that's it.
Speaker 2: I would like to see a story where the remaining
Speaker 2: living character is maybe met up for lunch at Starbucks
Speaker 2: or something that would interest me. David Caruso was in it,
Speaker 2: and I remember, if you just get some of them
Speaker 2: to Christopher Lloyd.
Speaker 3: I'm just looking at the IMDb.
Speaker 2: There are people who are still alive, and I would
Speaker 2: much rather see that story and reunion show if you will.
Speaker 2: Then some spin off which is really not connected to
Speaker 2: anything still alive?
Speaker 3: Isn't he And that's true? Yep.
Speaker 4: I can't remember if he lives or dies in the movie.
Speaker 4: But the novel by Ken Casey is terrific, and it's
Speaker 4: told from the point of view of the Big Chief,
Speaker 4: and I mean, we're spoiling a what fifty year old movie?
Speaker 3: I have said that.
Speaker 4: I think the person who pitched this idea for a
Speaker 4: series should have a pillow put over his face.
Speaker 2: It's cheap, it's uncreative, and Twela, you said it best.
Speaker 2: It's just you know, Hollywood is devoid of any new ideas.
Speaker 3: They've officially run out. They're creatively bankrupt, they're done.
Speaker 4: But it was one of the great moments in film
Speaker 4: history when McMurphy offers the Chief a stick of gum
Speaker 4: and the Chief says, juicy fru.
Speaker 2: You can't create those, recreate those types of moments because
Speaker 2: you're telling the story which doesn't include any of those characters,
Speaker 2: and they're out of the Assayan Asylum. So what story
Speaker 2: really is there to tell other than what Chief has
Speaker 2: been up to for the past fifty years.
Speaker 4: Well, the thing is, who was asking for this? I
Speaker 4: know nobody. I've never once heard of a single person
Speaker 4: and in the area of literature or film or television
Speaker 4: say you know, I wish there was more of that.
Speaker 2: According to this the one of the producers of This
Speaker 2: Cuckoo's Nest sequel series is a nephew of one of
Speaker 2: the original producers.
Speaker 3: Well that.
Speaker 5: You know, uncle, I'm breaking into Hollywood. You know, can't
Speaker 5: do you still have the rights to that thing?
Speaker 3: You did? I know it was really cool.
Speaker 5: I know you you would You and my dad used
Speaker 5: to talk about it all the time.
Speaker 4: I thought Kirk Douglas was one of the original producers there.
Speaker 4: Michael Douglas. Yeah, multiple producers.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's why I said, it's some some line producer
Speaker 5: whose nephew is trying to break into Hollywood has secured
Speaker 5: or weaseled the rights to do this and went to
Speaker 5: some some network and said, hey, I just got the rights.
Speaker 3: I got an idea.
Speaker 2: Carnecian brought up a good point. She was saying, like,
Speaker 2: why would you want to remake or touch this? You know,
Speaker 2: this pristine piece. And I try to say, we don't
Speaker 2: advocate remaking classics or cult classics, or trying to borrow
Speaker 2: from the legacy as this is in this instance of
Speaker 2: a classic, because the people who would care about One
Speaker 2: Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nests are for the most part
Speaker 2: forty and older. You know, that's ten years after the
Speaker 2: movie was released. So you're not speaking to our generation
Speaker 2: with this show. You're hoping that the younger generation watches
Speaker 2: this show because they would watch in greater numbers. But
Speaker 2: the only people who would have any reference point are
Speaker 2: the older folks, and so you're just trading on the name,
Speaker 2: not actually giving us something which would be a continuation
Speaker 2: or a realistic reason to watch.
Speaker 4: I haven't seen the movie in quite some time, but
Speaker 4: I imagine it holds up pretty well because I do keep
Speaker 4: running across clips as well as clips of Nicholson's Oscar acceptance,
Speaker 4: which I think he did from the movie set. People
Speaker 4: love this movie, and it's just it's such a bad
Speaker 4: idea to do it, Like, what are they gonna follow
Speaker 4: chief after he busts out of the asylum and he's
Speaker 4: on the run.
Speaker 2: Right, And I don't know what time period is. I
Speaker 2: don't know if it's in the days after or the
Speaker 2: years after, or there's a great time leap. But presumably
Speaker 2: they don't all meet up. They all go in their separate.
Speaker 4: Ways, and they put some dinosaurs in it, and it
Speaker 4: might be better received, and the whole net thing makes sense.
Speaker 3: But they also made that Ratchet show and that I remember,
Speaker 3: I didn't here any good.
Speaker 2: I forgot I forgot about that. Yeah, oh yeah, good call. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's a good catch.
Speaker 6: I remember that because I was like, my ex was
Speaker 6: super excited and she's like, this sucks.
Speaker 3: Because you can't recapture that magic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's impossible because once it's an ensemble piece, you
Speaker 2: have some legendary talent together and you have none of
Speaker 2: that or the circumstances which brought them together.
Speaker 4: To the story and just one final point to make
Speaker 4: before I know, we have to go to a break.
Speaker 4: This story came out of the period where people were
Speaker 4: asserting their individuality. I mean the story was written in
Speaker 4: the early sixties and came out in the mid seventies.
Speaker 4: This is after the Patrick mcgowinn Prisoners Show and the
Speaker 4: hippie movement and everything. It was very much a thing
Speaker 4: of its time about a guy who refused to have
Speaker 4: his will broken by the system. Nobody cares about that now.
Speaker 4: We would eagerly have our wills broken now for a
Speaker 4: house or some cash.
Speaker 2: And also our view and idea of mental health and
Speaker 2: treatment is completely different.
Speaker 3: Ah, oh yeah. You can't go around calling people crazy, No,
Speaker 3: you can't.
Speaker 2: No, just saying is it supposed to take place back
Speaker 2: in nineteen seventy six, is it a period piece or
Speaker 2: are you trying to adapt it for today's world and
Speaker 2: today's audiences. I just think it's a bad idea all
Speaker 2: the way around.
Speaker 4: We got a code brown on our hands here KFI
Speaker 4: AIM six forties later with mo Kelly, we got to
Speaker 4: talk talk about the bees in France when we come back.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3: Later with Mo Kelly.
Speaker 2: I can confidently tell you that if we ever talk
Speaker 2: about bees on this show, it's because Twaala Sharp puts
Speaker 2: the story in the stack. I have, to my knowledge,
Speaker 2: never put a b story on this show, and I
Speaker 2: have to reset it to let people know. I have
Speaker 2: an unhealthy fear of bees. It is a phobia. It
Speaker 2: is irrational, it is illogical, but it's real. And if
Speaker 2: you should happen to be around me when there's a bee,
Speaker 2: the only thing that matters is I get away, even that,
Speaker 2: even if that should mean that you may die in
Speaker 2: the process. Bees have attacked a French town. Twenty four
Speaker 2: people injured, some in critical condition. Passers by were stung
Speaker 2: over a period of about thirty minutes yesterday morning. Firefighters,
Speaker 2: firefighters and medical teams were rushed to the scene to
Speaker 2: treat the victims, while police set up a security perimeter
Speaker 2: until the bees stop their attack. Be clear, the bees
Speaker 2: attacked unprovoked by humans. If you read deeper into the story,
Speaker 2: there's a question of whether Asian hornets, you know, the
Speaker 2: meat eating supersize hornets. Hornets were thought to have been
Speaker 2: attacking the bee colony. So if the bee colony didn't
Speaker 2: get the people, the Asian hornets would.
Speaker 5: Have Okay, But see I then I think you need
Speaker 5: a retraction that the bees were not necessarily attacking as
Speaker 5: much as they may have been fleeing certain death. Maybe
Speaker 5: the bees like you feel about Asian murder hornets the
Speaker 5: way you feel about bees, and they're like, you know
Speaker 5: what if you are around when an Asian murder hornet
Speaker 5: comes around, racist, everyone around is going to die. And
Speaker 5: that's what the bees were thinking as they were fleeing
Speaker 5: into a step to sting to flee, they can just
Speaker 5: fly away. They just buzzle. They're bumping into people. People
Speaker 5: are swatting, and the bees are confused. They're like, we're
Speaker 5: trying to get away, why are you swatting at us?
Speaker 5: And that's how people were stung it doesn't make me
Speaker 5: feel any better. I still am of the opinion kill
Speaker 5: them all, Kill the Asian murder hornets, kill the European
Speaker 5: honey bees, killed the Africa officially, move let's just call it.
Speaker 5: We just got to call murder. Well, that's very specific.
Speaker 2: The Asian murder hornets are like five times the size
Speaker 2: of a of a.
Speaker 3: Then we can call them giant murder hornet.
Speaker 2: We have pictures of them right now. I don't know
Speaker 2: if they have on the YouTube channel. They are ungodly Leviathan.
Speaker 5: I don't know if they have to be uh racially identified.
Speaker 2: That's why I said it was racist. You gotta name
Speaker 2: them Asian.
Speaker 5: That's w Let's just call them for us. Let's just
Speaker 5: call them giant murder hornets.
Speaker 3: They eat meat.
Speaker 5: Too, after you know they do they they eat They
Speaker 5: will eat a person, a person, not not just you
Speaker 5: know they.
Speaker 3: You know, they can take out a whole hive, a.
Speaker 5: Few of them in just one one of them can
Speaker 5: take out a hive. Now again, a murder hornet obviously
Speaker 5: happened upon a tasty bee hive, the bees making some
Speaker 5: delicious honey, minding their own business. These being bees, they
Speaker 5: weren't bothering anybody. Then introduced murder hornet, and then you've
Speaker 5: got bees going crazy, bees losing their mind trying to
Speaker 5: get away.
Speaker 3: But it doesn't make it any more justifiable.
Speaker 2: Okay, just because you flee in your are and you
Speaker 2: accidentally run someone down, it doesn't make you less liable.
Speaker 3: It may not. If you just kill them all, we
Speaker 3: won't have to worry about this thing.
Speaker 5: Cannot because then okay here, okay, we want to kill
Speaker 5: them all.
Speaker 3: Then what are the murder hornets eating? They're eating us?
Speaker 2: No, I mean all is in inclusive of the murder hornets.
Speaker 2: You can't just kill the wasps. Kill the murder hornets,
Speaker 2: kill the bees, kill the the bumble bees, the carpenter bees.
Speaker 5: Murder hornets and killer bees are twice as cunning as
Speaker 5: just regular honeybees.
Speaker 3: Why because they're out for me. They have stingers.
Speaker 2: They have probably have teeth. I say, if they have stingers,
Speaker 2: they have to die. Oh I don't know if they
Speaker 2: have stingers. I think that these murder hornets, I think
Speaker 2: they've got actually just teeth.
Speaker 3: No, they have they have singers. They have stingers and mandibles.
Speaker 3: It probably does like spin an acid onto you as
Speaker 3: they dissolve.
Speaker 2: Probably probably if we just kill them all, we won't
Speaker 2: have to worry about them, Don't you dare? Stuff, they're
Speaker 2: trying to find some sound effects with you, Don't you dare.
Speaker 3: They're like, I've seen eyes.
Speaker 2: I know, I know there's stuff of nightmares if it's
Speaker 2: not that it's me defecating in the middle.
Speaker 3: Of a mall.
Speaker 2: I mean, look at I can't even look at this
Speaker 2: thing on you. Look at Daniel, No, look at looking away.
Speaker 2: I'm looking away, like.
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness. They're huge, h mugget some sized wow. Wow.
Speaker 5: And these things probably haven't been fed a lot, these
Speaker 5: ones that we need.
Speaker 2: To hurt me get to the next segment because I
Speaker 2: can't do this. And when we talk to George Norri
Speaker 2: Coast to Coast am, I have to find out if
Speaker 2: he can recommend someone to interpret my dreams.
Speaker 3: Got to get to the bottom of some of these
Speaker 3: dreams I'm having.
Speaker 2: That would actually be really cool. It'd be a nice
Speaker 2: little crossover segment. Yeah, right, K six forty And also
Speaker 2: I have my final thought and has to do with
Speaker 2: Elon Musk announcing his new political party.
Speaker 1: You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on Demand from
Speaker 1: k IF. I am six forty.
Speaker 3: Okay, I am six forty.
Speaker 2: It's later with both Kelly and coming up, it will
Speaker 2: be Coast to Coast am with George Nori who joins me.
Speaker 3: George, good evening. How was your holiday weekend? Holiday weekend?
Speaker 3: Was working, but I had a great time you and
Speaker 3: me both we were both working.
Speaker 2: But speaking of working, before we get to your show,
Speaker 2: I've had these recurring dreams and I don't know if
Speaker 2: you can recommend someone who would come on the air
Speaker 2: with me and interpret some of these recurring dreams which
Speaker 2: are somewhat disturbing.
Speaker 3: We'll work on that for you. I had one person,
Speaker 3: but she passed away a few years ago. She was
Speaker 3: the best.
Speaker 2: Now do you use that person from the other side sometimes? Okay,
Speaker 2: what's on a show tonight?
Speaker 3: Tonight we're going to talk about how gravity shapes your body.
Speaker 3: It's an amazing story. Then later on in the show
Speaker 3: angels on Coast to Coast. Well, there you have it.
Speaker 3: I'll be tuningy on. Thank you, my friend. We'll work
Speaker 3: on the dream lady for you.
Speaker 2: Oh it's going to be a lady. Huh yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: good to know. Okay, before we get out of here.
Speaker 2: Here is my final thought. And you've probably heard the
Speaker 2: news now that Elon Musk he's announced that he's creating
Speaker 2: a new political party and has.
Speaker 3: Named it the America Party. Kind of catchy.
Speaker 2: We know that Musk wasn't pleased with President Trump's spending bill,
Speaker 2: which was just signed into law over the weekend, and
Speaker 2: Musk and Trump, you know this as well, had a
Speaker 2: very public and messy breakup. If this feels like the
Speaker 2: political equivalent to a jilted lover on the rebound, well
Speaker 2: you're not wrong. Fellow billionaire Mark Cuban is also rumored
Speaker 2: to be involved. It's no secret that there is high
Speaker 2: disapproval of the present state of partisan politics. You know,
Speaker 2: except for the MAGA faithful. They love everything that President
Speaker 2: Trump does.
Speaker 3: But there has been.
Speaker 2: Long talk of this so called third party option to
Speaker 2: shake up the proverbial establishment, and this long standing lie
Speaker 2: keeps getting recycled every few years. We've always had, or
Speaker 2: just about always had a third party or fourth party
Speaker 2: option for decades, literal decades, from Libertarian to the Green Party,
Speaker 2: to the Reform Party to the American Independent Party, the
Speaker 2: Forward Party, the No Labels Party, more recently, Constitution Party,
Speaker 2: those are all real parties and presently active parties. There
Speaker 2: have always been other options.
Speaker 3: The chief reason.
Speaker 2: Why none of them ever make a ripple is because
Speaker 2: they don't have adequate infrastructure or presence on local levels.
Speaker 3: They're not even trying.
Speaker 2: They trot out people like Jill Stein, Gary Johnson, Cornell
Speaker 2: West every four years just for the office of president
Speaker 2: and basically nothing else. There's no grassroots presence, largely no
Speaker 2: local elected officials or even candidates, little electoral impact. Yes,
Speaker 2: Elon Musk can throw money at candidates. Yes he can
Speaker 2: find some slightly less than MAGA primary opposition to help
Speaker 2: unsea Trump favorites and or back Democrats in the midterms.
Speaker 2: Yes he can do all of those things. But here's
Speaker 2: the reality. Musk is still juggling the fortunes of SpaceX,
Speaker 2: He's still the president CEO of Tesla, and even X
Speaker 2: his social media platform.
Speaker 3: What does that tell you He gets.
Speaker 2: Bored really easily and likely has no long term interest
Speaker 2: in politics. If you're going to start a party, you
Speaker 2: have to actually build it up.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: You can try it out some candidates running for president,
Speaker 2: like you know, Jill Stein, Cornell West, whomever, every four years,
Speaker 2: but that's not an actual party. You're just backing a candidate.
Speaker 2: Elon Musk gets bored very easily. How do we know.
Speaker 2: We'll look at Doge. That didn't last long, and it
Speaker 2: wasn't because he and Trump had a falling out per se.
Speaker 2: It's because Elon Musk wanted to move on to other
Speaker 2: things he could as in Elon Musk, he could have
Speaker 2: impact on an election or two, maybe disrupt the power
Speaker 2: balance of the House of Representatives. But the American Party
Speaker 2: as is named will just be the latest failed attempt
Speaker 2: at starting a new political party. And that's what people
Speaker 2: need to tell you. And there's something else they won't
Speaker 2: tell you. The reason why these other third, fourth, and
Speaker 2: fifth options always fail, and they always will fail. It
Speaker 2: is because a party with no representation in Congress and
Speaker 2: no representation in state houses mean that no policy can
Speaker 2: be made or passed on any level. It's just an
Speaker 2: opposition individual. It's not about just having a third name
Speaker 2: on a ballot in which to choose. And yes, you
Speaker 2: might be able to get signatures to get on a
Speaker 2: presidential ballot in all fifty states. And let's say hypothetically
Speaker 2: that person shocks the world and becomes president, but against
Speaker 2: the Democratic Caucus and Republican conference in both the House
Speaker 2: and Senate. It would mean more legislative gridlock. It's a
Speaker 2: pipe dream and another way to separate you from your
Speaker 2: money because they're still going to be asking for your money.
Speaker 2: We all hate the two party system, trust me, we
Speaker 2: all hate it. That's why I'm an independent. But nobody
Speaker 2: wants to put in the work for the long term.
Speaker 2: You have to build up a party. How do I know?
Speaker 3: There are recent examples that we can look to.
Speaker 2: These are the same reasons that Bernie Sanders had to
Speaker 2: become a Democrat. I said, become a Democrat. He's a
Speaker 2: registered independent and he caucuses with the Democrat Democrats, but
Speaker 2: he had to become a Democrat to run for president
Speaker 2: and Donald Trump, Let's not forget, he had to leave
Speaker 2: the Reform Party and join the Republican Party to seriously
Speaker 2: make a bid for the White House.
Speaker 3: Remember the Reform Party, I do.
Speaker 2: That is what you got to do to get internal
Speaker 2: polling data and voter rolls, insider information which a new
Speaker 2: party would be done without it, and this American Party
Speaker 2: would be starting from scratch, no access to televised debates,
Speaker 2: most likely as neither party would agree to a third
Speaker 2: party participant joining one stage. That's why you don't see
Speaker 2: people like Ralph Nader, John Anderson, remember him, Gary Johnson, etc.
Speaker 3: Joining the debates.
Speaker 2: Ross Perrot, he was the last one actually be part
Speaker 2: of those debates. And then the parties wisened up and said, Nope,
Speaker 2: you will not be joining us anymore. The major parties
Speaker 2: don't want fringe candidates sharing the stage. And that's what
Speaker 2: we're talking about. This would be a fringe candidate on
Speaker 2: behalf of a billionaire who really doesn't have any knowledge, expertise,
Speaker 2: or interest big picture in actually starting forming supporting a
Speaker 2: political party. The American Party as it's called is not
Speaker 2: going anywhere. There was never any chance for it, and
Speaker 2: despite what you may hear in the news, it's not
Speaker 2: going anywhere. And maybe I'm the first one to tell
Speaker 2: you this, but I am the one who needs to
Speaker 2: tell you this, and anyone who tells you otherwise about
Speaker 2: the American can Party is lying. But then again, we're
Speaker 2: used to politicians lying to us, aren't we. For k
Speaker 2: if I am six forty, I'm mo Kelly.
