Now, as a 159 00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:21.079 vet nurse student with only one year left until graduation, 160 00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:22.879 her passion has only deepened. 161 00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:24.879 Despite her demanding coursework. 162 00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:29.040 She volunteers at local animal shelters, often the first to 163 00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:32.519 step in with an abandoned or abuse animal needs care. 164 00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:38.120 Whether it's providing food, administrating medication, or offering a comforting hand, 165 00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:41.919 Melanie finds joy in every act of compassion. It's not 166 00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:45.240 just about their health, it's about giving these creatures a 167 00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:49.519 second chance. It was during one of her volunteer shifts 168 00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:53.840 that Melanie stumbled across Hope for Pause. A colleague had 169 00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:58.720 mentioned the organization in passing, describing their incredible rescue videos. 170 00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:01.200 Curious, she searched for. 171 00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:05.600 Them that evening and found herself watching rescue after rescue 172 00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:09.480 after rescue and tears in her eyes. The bravery and 173 00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:13.039 dedication of the team struck a chord so deep with her. 174 00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:17.519 She was just wanted to help more animals, and she 175 00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:21.240 saw that these animals were being rescued. The more she learned, 176 00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:25.120 the more inspired she became. For Melanie, this wasn't just 177 00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:28.600 another organization. It was a community of people who shared 178 00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:33.399 her unwavering belief in second chances, no matter how the bleak, 179 00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:37.240 no matter how bleak the circumstances. Every time she sees 180 00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:40.120 a new Hope for Pause rescue video or update from 181 00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:44.759 the organization, it reignites her determination to finish school and 182 00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:48.279 continue making a difference. She feels like this is just 183 00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:50.799 the beginning for her broader mission to ensure that no 184 00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:55.879 animal is left behind, forgotten, or unloved. Hope for Pause 185 00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:59.440 dot org was founded in two thousand and eight by Eddad. 186 00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:05.240 It's a nonprofit organization dedicated to rescuing homeless and abused animals, 187 00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:11.039 particularly those in extreme and often life threatening situations. Eldad 188 00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:14.919 with his wife Audrey, created the organization to provide not 189 00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:18.679 only immediate medical care to animals in need, but also 190 00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:22.720 to highlight their stories, raising awareness about the plight of 191 00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:27.519 abandoned animals. They quickly became known for their gripping rescue videos, 192 00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:31.279 which show the emotional journey of these animals from fear 193 00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:36.679 and abandonment to safety and recovery. The organization works closely 194 00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:41.000 with veterans and animal shelters to readapt rescued animals and 195 00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:41.960 find them, you. 196 00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:42.919 Know, forever homes. 197 00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:47.360 Their unique approach often involves rescuing animals that often deem 198 00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:52.120 too difficult or hopeless, offering them a lifeline where none 199 00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:57.399 existed before. Through their work, Home for Pause has inspired millions, 200 00:10:57.720 --> 00:11:00.679 and I mean millions, to get involved in animals rescue, 201 00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:05.840 fostering a great sense of responsibility and empathy towards all creatures. 202 00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:10.360 The organization has saved thousands of lives and continues to 203 00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:13.919 be a beacon of hope for animals in desperate need. 204 00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:17.679 They have quite an intense YouTube channel. 205 00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:19.720 They have five million. 206 00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:24.919 Plus YouTube followers, one point four billion views, and forty 207 00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:28.440 rescue partners that they all work with. If you have 208 00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:32.360 time you would like to volunteer, or donate or even 209 00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:36.840 adopt a pet, please visit Hope for Pause dot org. 210 00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:39.879 I went through a rabbit hole on their website Hope 211 00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:42.679 for Pause dot org, and I just wanted. 212 00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:44.720 To adopt every single dog there. 213 00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:48.240 It's like, oh, and I did say mo, I did 214 00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:52.159 see some of the videos and I think after maybe 215 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:54.320 a minute and a half to two when they were 216 00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:56.840 rescue them. I just I had to shut my laptop, 217 00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:01.399 my computer because I just couldn't stomach, you know, and 218 00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:03.799 I couldn't stomach what these dogs were going through. 219 00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:04.200 You know. 220 00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:06.759 I don't even want to describe it because it could 221 00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:11.440 be emotional. But I just I love animals. I love pets, 222 00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:17.080 and I get really angry when people mistreat their animals. 223 00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:19.759 It's kind of like to me mistreating a child, and 224 00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:23.559 I don't think that's fair at all. But I tell you, Melanie, 225 00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:26.120 I can't wait till you graduate and you become a 226 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:30.360 vet nurse and continue working with Hope for Pause dot 227 00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:33.759 org when you can, and anyone that would like to volunteer, 228 00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:35.000 I definitely put in some time. 229 00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:38.639 I try to tell people, and people don't know. I 230 00:12:38.679 --> 00:12:42.240 have two dogs. They are family members, Riley and Benson. 231 00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:46.039 They're both Mini Schnauzers. They and I say this generally 232 00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:48.799 with pets, they will change your life. They will change 233 00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:53.159 your whole disposition. They will renew your faith in life. 234 00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:58.600 You know, there's something very innocent and pure about pets, 235 00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:01.279 the unconditional love that can systant attention. I know every 236 00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:04.200 time I go home, when I open the door, they're 237 00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:07.080 going to be right there, like I've been gone one 238 00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:11.799 hundred years or one hundred seconds. The reaction is always 239 00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:14.399 the same. It's like where you've been, so glad you're home, 240 00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:18.919 come play with us, and it is life affirming. It's 241 00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:24.200 almost like, yeah, I had a real crappy day, but 242 00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:27.639 they don't care and they make it better exactly. 243 00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:31.960 Also for the cat lovers like Mark, there are cats 244 00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:34.600 to be adopted to, and they have tons of stories 245 00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:37.759 and videos about cats that they have rescued as well. 246 00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:39.559 So if you're a cat lover a dog lover, it 247 00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:40.639 doesn't matter, but. 248 00:13:40.679 --> 00:13:42.759 You know you could, if you have space in your home, 249 00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:47.159 if you feel like you could, you know, foster or 250 00:13:47.159 --> 00:13:51.080 help out, whether it's monetary or fostering. I think, you know, 251 00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:53.759 doing something like that out of your heart and kindness 252 00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:54.440 is beautiful. 253 00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:57.399 That's always been my concerns, Like I always might want 254 00:13:57.480 --> 00:13:59.679 to make sure that I had adequate room and space 255 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:02.799 trying to keep a dog or any path for that matter, 256 00:14:02.879 --> 00:14:05.600 just cooped up in a room in a house all 257 00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:08.759 day long. We can't go anywhere, you know, And I 258 00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:11.080 wanted to have at least like some backyard or something 259 00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:14.759 for them. And I know it's not everyone can do that, 260 00:14:14.840 --> 00:14:18.120 but I'm always conscientious of that in that regard. So 261 00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:20.879 anyone who does adopt a pet, God bless you. 262 00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:23.279 Can I say one more thing, of course mentioned something, 263 00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:25.519 and I just want to say, because now it's starting 264 00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:28.080 to get dark when your dogs, when you do let 265 00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:31.039 your dogs outside, please go and watch them because you 266 00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:32.879 don't know who's climbing up on the fence. 267 00:14:32.919 --> 00:14:35.919 So just always keep an eye on your dogs. 268 00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:38.120 Even if they go quick to go, you know, relieve 269 00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:40.799 themselves and come back right, come right back. 270 00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:43.120 But just always keep an eye on your pets. 271 00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:46.639 Yeah, that is something I always do. And it's almost like, Okay, 272 00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:48.759 I'm waiting for my wife. Are you home yet? You 273 00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:51.360 check on the dogs. I need to hurry up and 274 00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:53.759 get home because I can't get home before eleven o'clock 275 00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:56.879 at night. Yeah, there's always that worry because they're like 276 00:14:56.960 --> 00:14:58.399 kids and never grow up. 277 00:14:58.600 --> 00:14:59.679 Nope, none at all. 278 00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:01.399 And when we. 279 00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:06.399 Come back, we will have the Rauner report. Mark you 280 00:15:06.559 --> 00:15:09.759 teased it before. You're going to be talking about the 281 00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:12.919 new Joker sequel that I can't even pronounce because I 282 00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:13.960 don't speak French. 283 00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:18.039 Well it's not for everybody. It's a French sie. 284 00:15:19.879 --> 00:15:23.120 So I've been eagerly awaiting this because this was not 285 00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:26.679 a movie I planned to see, and I usually rise 286 00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:30.720 and fall on whether you like something to inspire me 287 00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:31.879 or discourage me. 288 00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:34.320 Well, I keep saying it's boring when we agree on things, 289 00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:38.559 but our tastes in movies are fairly similar, so I 290 00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:40.559 think I can swing you in there. I can give 291 00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:41.879 you a push in the right direction on this. 292 00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:44.559 Well, first, not Aco de la Cruz, thank you for 293 00:15:44.600 --> 00:15:47.759 that your insight earlier, coming in early and telling some 294 00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:50.879 of those stories to give people some perspective on what 295 00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:53.279 it's really like behind the scenes dealing with some of 296 00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:56.399 these people, going to the actual parties that are being discussed. 297 00:15:56.399 --> 00:15:59.559 I just saw a promo and preview of a Ditty 298 00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:02.200 special that ABC twenty twenty is going to be airing 299 00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:06.080 next week. It's one of the biggest stories in the country, 300 00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:10.159 which is non political until they start implicating political figures. 301 00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:13.120 But you know, it's a huge story and everyone's going 302 00:16:13.159 --> 00:16:15.399 to be talking about it, but not everyone has any 303 00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:20.039 first hand perspective of some of the players involved. 304 00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:22.000 So thank you for coming in, Thank you for inviting me. 305 00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:26.279 You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on Demand from 306 00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:27.679 KFI a M six. 307 00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:39.360 Forty pontificates pop culture. 308 00:16:39.519 --> 00:17:00.720 Ron Report with Mark Ronner. 309 00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:54.320 KFI later with Mo Kelly. Now it is time for 310 00:16:54.440 --> 00:16:55.320 the Ratta Report. 311 00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:56.919 Okay, this might sound like a little bit of a 312 00:16:56.919 --> 00:16:59.720 shaggy dog story, so please just bear with me on this. 313 00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:01.960 A number of years ago, I went over to my 314 00:17:01.960 --> 00:17:04.440 friend Wayne's place. Wayne had cancer, he didn't have very 315 00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:07.480 long to live. I had just gotten the job writing 316 00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:09.839 a Green Hornet comic book, and so I wanted to 317 00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:12.319 watch the Green Hornet movie that I hadn't seen yet, 318 00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:14.480 the awful one with Seth Rogan. Neither of us had 319 00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:17.240 seen it. So I start the movie and we get 320 00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:19.240 a little ways into it, and my poor friend Wayne, 321 00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:22.279 he's really not looking good at this point. After a while, 322 00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:25.599 Wayne says, this is terrible. Can we watch something else? 323 00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:28.079 And I say, well, can we just see a little 324 00:17:28.119 --> 00:17:29.720 bit more of it? So I kind of get a 325 00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:31.880 better idea what's going on here. I really need to 326 00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:33.960 know as much about green Hornet as possible before I 327 00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:36.599 start my script. All Right, we watch a little bit 328 00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:39.839 more of it, and finally, after maybe another twenty minutes 329 00:17:39.960 --> 00:17:43.400 or so, Wayne speaks up and he says, this is 330 00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:46.039 so bad. Can we watch something else? 331 00:17:46.119 --> 00:17:46.480 Please? 332 00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:49.119 And I'm like, well, let's just give it a little 333 00:17:49.119 --> 00:17:51.680 bit more of a chance. Maybe it gets better. Another 334 00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:54.839 half hour goes by Wayne. It feels like he's getting 335 00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:58.319 sicker as time passes. He says, this is so bad? 336 00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:02.240 Could we please watch something else? And I'm like, listen, 337 00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:04.440 we might as well just power through. What kind of 338 00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:06.559 friend or you? Let me get to the end of this. 339 00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:09.680 I tell Wayne, we're so close. Let's just see how 340 00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:13.519 it ends. Okay, of course it's a terrible movie. And 341 00:18:13.599 --> 00:18:16.759 I apologize to poor Wayne. Wayne carrfelt a lovely guy. 342 00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:17.279 I miss him. 343 00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:19.880 You would have loved the guy, A real sweetheart. He 344 00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:23.440 didn't last much longer after that. Wayne died soon afterward, 345 00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:26.880 and at his wake, I apologize to Wayne's wife for 346 00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:30.000 making him watch that movie. Those were two precious final 347 00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:33.000 hours of his life, and he was already suffering enough. 348 00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:38.640 But at least I never made Wayne watch Joker fully Ado. 349 00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:42.160 Here's a little bit of the trailer. Two years ago. 350 00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:45.400 The name Arthur Fleck had got him like a hurricane. 351 00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:48.720 The Trial of the Century. They believe Arthur Fleck to 352 00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:56.480 be some kind of Marta as a monster. 353 00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:09.680 I small when I first saw a Joker. When I 354 00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:10.440 saw you. 355 00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:19.079 Oh you, For once in my life, I didn't feel 356 00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:21.200 so alone anymore. I I love. 357 00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:26.519 You, love. 358 00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:33.960 Colline. 359 00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:44.039 For ones in my life, I. 360 00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:46.599 Have someone who needs me. 361 00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:51.759 Now about you, Arthur, do you still think you're a star? 362 00:19:54.599 --> 00:19:56.759 That's plenty of the trailer, you get the idea that's 363 00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:00.119 the Joker in prison actually kind of the Meddal Asylum. Now, 364 00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:02.559 I'm going to admit upfront I hated the first Joker 365 00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:05.720 movie five years ago, mainly because I'd already seen Martin 366 00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:07.680 sco says he's the King of comedy, and I didn't 367 00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:10.119 need to watch an inferior remake of it with an 368 00:20:10.279 --> 00:20:14.079 unbearably self indulgent Joker performance at it. But a lot 369 00:20:14.119 --> 00:20:15.920 of other people did like it, and it became one 370 00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:17.920 of the most successful R rated movies of all time. 371 00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:20.519 It made over a billion dollars, and Joaquin Phoenix won 372 00:20:20.519 --> 00:20:23.920 an honor in Oscar rather uh so, fair play on that. 373 00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:26.319 I'll be the turd in the punch bowl on this one, 374 00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:28.960 but I know there's a network of people like me 375 00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:32.720 who hated it. Like airplane turbulence, you kind of need 376 00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:34.440 to have seen the first one to fully get the 377 00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:39.119 sequel fully adieu, because the sequels about the jokers trial 378 00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:43.599 for the people that he killed in the first movie, 379 00:20:43.920 --> 00:20:46.519 and how he meets a joker groupie in the prison 380 00:20:46.680 --> 00:20:49.720 nuthouse music therapy class and they fall in love and 381 00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:52.920 then they have one musical number after another mainly in 382 00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:53.839 dream sequences. 383 00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:54.559 That's it. 384 00:20:54.839 --> 00:20:57.480 That's the whole deal. And no, there's no Batman singing 385 00:20:57.559 --> 00:21:00.359 or otherwise. The groupie Joker falls in love with is 386 00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:05.480 Lee aka Harlee Quinn played by Lady Gaga. You heard 387 00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:08.000 Brendan Gleeson in the trailer there. He plays a mean 388 00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:10.519 prison guard. They really don't like the joker in prison 389 00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:13.440 whose real name you remember is Arthur Fleck. How much 390 00:21:13.480 --> 00:21:16.960 to the guards not like Arthur Fleck? I honestly struggled 391 00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:18.720 with how much to tell you about this, not just 392 00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:22.119 because the spoilers, but also because gross, I'll just say, 393 00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:25.519 they mercifully don't show absolutely everything I can tell you. 394 00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:28.160 Caesar Romero never had to worry about this sort of thing. 395 00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:33.279 Holy Shawshank Batman. But not much really happens in the movie, 396 00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:36.279 which seems to be a delivery device just for a 397 00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:39.240 bunch of music numbers. I'm not saying there's nothing going 398 00:21:39.279 --> 00:21:41.839 on in the movie. Fleck struggle with his identity and 399 00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:43.799 what he's done and who he wants to be are 400 00:21:43.839 --> 00:21:46.640 the major themes. Not to mention what other people want 401 00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:48.440
