Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: It's Later with Bo Kelly. We are alive everywhere on
Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio app. And as we look at the box
Speaker 2: office for this past weekend, it is a perfect example
Speaker 2: of why movie theaters will continue to struggle. We talk
Speaker 2: about there being a dearth of movies. In other words,
Speaker 2: movie theaters have fewer movies to even show, and the
Speaker 2: ones which are coming out are not staying in theaters
Speaker 2: for any real length of time. They're going straight to
Speaker 2: streaming after a couple of weeks. And the movies which
Speaker 2: are in theaters and not staying very long are not
Speaker 2: at the same quality.
Speaker 3: Let me just put it that way.
Speaker 2: The number one movie this week in all of America,
Speaker 2: and basically, you know, you come in right after a
Speaker 2: holiday weekend. There, I'm not sure everyone is even back
Speaker 2: in school as far as college, so there there's still
Speaker 2: a movie going public out there. And understand fires in California,
Speaker 2: but we're talking about the whole country. The number one
Speaker 2: movie was Flight Risk, the Mark Wahlberg movie, and I'm
Speaker 2: not so sure I want to see it wasn't released internationally,
Speaker 2: only grossed eleven point five million domestically eleven point five million.
Speaker 2: The number one movie. What does that tell you? And
Speaker 2: it was in thirty one hundred theaters. That is a
Speaker 2: wide release, thirty one hundred theaters. It means that people
Speaker 2: were not going to the movies at all. The number
Speaker 2: two movie was Move Faster. The Lion Key in its
Speaker 2: sixth week, brought in eight point five million for a
Speaker 2: worldwide total of six hundred and twenty seven million. And
Speaker 2: we talk about movie theaters need people to come to
Speaker 2: the theater throughout the week. It used to be theaters
Speaker 2: for open seven days a week. You're seeing more and
Speaker 2: more theaters only open let's say four or five days
Speaker 2: a week. They may be opened Thursday through Monday. They're
Speaker 2: not staying open the whole week, or they're not showing
Speaker 2: as many screenings of movies like they used to.
Speaker 3: Did you know that Mel Gibson directive Flight Risk? Yes?
Speaker 3: I did. I thought he was bad. I guess that's it.
Speaker 3: Mel Gibson is back. He is. He was never canceled.
Speaker 2: No, he was highly criticized for a period of time,
Speaker 2: but he never stopped acting, never stopped directing, was not
Speaker 2: excommunicated from Hollywood wasn't banned from any type of ceremony
Speaker 2: in the way that Will Smith was banned from the Oscars.
Speaker 2: Now he's an older actor, so I don't think it's
Speaker 2: fair to expect him to have the type of stardom
Speaker 2: that he once enjoyed when he was a part of
Speaker 2: the Lethal Weapon franchise, for example. He's not a leading
Speaker 2: man in that regard anymore. But it's not like he's
Speaker 2: ever stopped acting. Isn't he like ambassador to Hollywood or something.
Speaker 2: Now Trump gave him some sort of ambassadorship, But my
Speaker 2: point is he he never disappeared off the scene, so
Speaker 2: he was never canceled. Flight Risk was number one, luved Foster,
Speaker 2: The Lion King, number two, number three, one of them days,
Speaker 2: number four, Sonic the Hedgehog three. I don't care what
Speaker 2: anyone says, I just can't watch a Sonic Hedgehog movie.
Speaker 3: Just you know. That's where my son says it's one
Speaker 3: of the best movies of the year.
Speaker 2: I gotta draw the line of Sonic the Hedgehog and
Speaker 2: your eighteen year old son talking about the best movie
Speaker 2: of the year. Let's put it in context. Okay, Boos
Speaker 2: like started the Hedgehog stuff.
Speaker 3: It's one of the best movies of the year.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't say that, Okay, not to the best movie
Speaker 4: the year, but it was really well done. If you've
Speaker 4: know the story, yeah, and I don't, and I didn't
Speaker 4: even play the game.
Speaker 3: So yeah.
Speaker 2: Muana two was number five, still hanging around in its
Speaker 2: ninth week, surprisingly enough.
Speaker 3: But these are depressed totals.
Speaker 2: It's not like people are going to the movies in
Speaker 2: large numbers. That's why you have the number one movie
Speaker 2: only eleven point five million. There aren't any big movies
Speaker 2: coming for what another two weeks?
Speaker 5: Yeah, for February tenth Captain America. Yeah, and then after
Speaker 5: that it's another Dearth. It's another I think February, and
Speaker 5: then I think maybe March there's one, and then but
Speaker 5: then after that it's all the way till May.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: It's really difficult for theaters to stay in business, to
Speaker 2: pay the sixteen year old kid with acne to run
Speaker 2: the popcorn and also, you know, the cashier. It's really
Speaker 2: difficult for movie theaters to stay open seven days a
Speaker 2: week showing movies from let's say eleven am to eleven PM,
Speaker 2: when the movies are just not there. In terms of quality,
Speaker 2: in terms of appeal to bring people in seven days
Speaker 2: a week, that's a long time for a business to
Speaker 2: stay open for mediocre movies or movies which have already
Speaker 2: been in the box office for a number of weeks.
Speaker 2: Sonct the Hedgehog has been in theaters for six weeks.
Speaker 2: God bless them for them even keeping it in theaters
Speaker 2: that long. But people are not running to see Sonic
Speaker 2: the Hedgehog three and four times. Moana two one of
Speaker 2: the biggest movies of the past three hundred and sixty
Speaker 2: five days it crosses the year, but people are not
Speaker 2: lining up to see Mowana two anymore. That's why it
Speaker 2: only brought in four million this week, but it's still
Speaker 2: in the top ten. Yeah, this business model is not
Speaker 2: going to work for movie theaters going forward.
Speaker 3: I don't know what it's going to turn into.
Speaker 2: But we had a friend who was just talking to
Speaker 2: us in text, doctor Liz, who was talking about how
Speaker 2: she went to see The Brutalist this weekend said it
Speaker 2: was like three and a half hours with an intermission.
Speaker 2: I'm not doing that. I'm not going to a movie
Speaker 2: with an intermission that's three and a half hours long.
Speaker 2: That means it's a four hour affair, not including drivetime
Speaker 2: both ways. I would much rather, assuming I even wanted
Speaker 2: to see the movie, I would much rather wait three
Speaker 2: or four weeks and catch.
Speaker 3: It on some streaming service.
Speaker 2: Why, because the oscars are going to make sure that
Speaker 2: it's available for streaming.
Speaker 3: The Brutalist is a long haul.
Speaker 5: I watched it over the weekend and it took me
Speaker 5: a couple sittings to get through it.
Speaker 3: Can't do that. Can't do that. But it's really good.
Speaker 3: You got a pay attition, right, it's a terrific movie.
Speaker 3: Get to pay attention the whole way. It helps. I
Speaker 3: can't do.
Speaker 2: I can't watch it and do my laundry, you know,
Speaker 2: and rearrange my sock drawer, I change the linen on
Speaker 2: my bed.
Speaker 5: Maybe you could speed it up like a quarter speed extra,
Speaker 5: but I'm not sure you'd really get everything you should
Speaker 5: be getting out of it.
Speaker 3: It's worth seeing.
Speaker 5: But I too, you know, am given pause by a
Speaker 5: movie that takes.
Speaker 3: A half a day to watch. Do people actually do that?
Speaker 2: I see those speed settings, especially on Netflix, and I
Speaker 2: wonder if I've never sped up a movie to watch
Speaker 2: it because I was rushed for time it seems like
Speaker 2: it would throw off the rhythm of the dialogue and everything.
Speaker 5: You'd have to have absolutely no respect for the thing
Speaker 5: that you're consuming.
Speaker 4: I think it's more common with podcasts because it's just audio,
Speaker 4: so it's just speeds up there they're speaking, And the
Speaker 4: only time I've ever spent a video is like a
Speaker 4: YouTube like okay, let's get to the point.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I couldn't do it to a movie.
Speaker 2: They have that option on Netflix, you can do like, yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, one in a quarter one and a half times.
Speaker 2: I know. It's just if I'm going to enjoy a movie,
Speaker 2: then I'm going to enjoy it as it was intended
Speaker 2: to be enjoyed. If I have to rush through it
Speaker 2: for whatever reason, then I'm just denying myself the whole
Speaker 2: experience and an enjoyment of the movie.
Speaker 5: Well, I'll settle in then with some food, some hydration,
Speaker 5: some extra clothing for the brutalist.
Speaker 3: It is a long haul.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm probably not going to watch it one because
Speaker 2: I'm not really big into what I call period pieces.
Speaker 2: I'm just you know, I'm just looking for escape action,
Speaker 2: and it seems like it's real, real heavy.
Speaker 3: It's got some heavy spots, but it is worth seeing.
Speaker 3: I'm looking for any nudity sex scenes.
Speaker 5: Well, I had a joke on Saturday Night that it
Speaker 5: looks like you may get to see Adrian Brodie's Little Brutalist.
Speaker 5: At some point I heard that. I said it was
Speaker 5: a Martin that you're a tiptoe. Yeah, that wasn't exactly
Speaker 5: what I meant. Well, I mean you said nudity, I
Speaker 5: would what do you want?
Speaker 2: Thank you for answering the question, but I'm just saying
Speaker 2: that doesn't enhance my desire to see the movie. Well
Speaker 2: that's what you say. Kf I AM six forty. We're
Speaker 2: live everywhere. Damn, Mark Ronner, I don't know what the
Speaker 2: hell I'm going to do with you. Get him out
Speaker 2: of this too. You know all those nice things I
Speaker 2: said about him at the top of the shot, Take
Speaker 2: them all back, mo, you're the real brutalist.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: And you may not have heard of the Allen Media group.
Speaker 2: You may be more familiar with the Weather Channel, or
Speaker 2: you may have may have heard of the media mogul
Speaker 2: Byron Allen but not made the connection. Well, Byron Allen,
Speaker 2: who owns Allan Media Group, has been receiving a lot
Speaker 2: of criticism as of late because Alan Media Group was
Speaker 2: going to going to layoff or reassign workers across all
Speaker 2: of its nearly two dozen TV stations, including Fox, NBC, ABC,
Speaker 2: CBS affiliates from California and Hawaii to Alabama and Arizona.
Speaker 2: And they had already announced this because they wanted to
Speaker 2: move in more like regional weathercasters instead of having the
Speaker 2: local ones in the individual markets.
Speaker 3: Think of it this way.
Speaker 2: Let's say they wanted to get rid of KFI, and
Speaker 2: you would just have a local Los Angeles or a
Speaker 2: West Coast radio news source something like that. You get
Speaker 2: rid of all the personalities, get rid of John Cobel,
Speaker 2: get rid of Bill Handle, get rid of Moke Kelly, yeah,
Speaker 2: I know, get rid of Garius Shaddon, and then they
Speaker 2: would have someone maybe in New Mexico or something, giving
Speaker 2: a regional forecast or regional news for Los Angeles and
Speaker 2: all the Western United States. That was what was going
Speaker 2: to happen, just for weather casters. And you can imagine
Speaker 2: the pushback against that has been tremendous. But because of
Speaker 2: that pushback, Allen Media reportedly will not fire local meteorologists
Speaker 2: after viewer backlash. And there are a couple of things
Speaker 2: that should be brought out about this, And I know
Speaker 2: that to Wallace talked about it from a radio syndication standpoint.
Speaker 2: I know Mark has talked about it from a news
Speaker 2: information standpoint. I just talk about it from an economics standpoint,
Speaker 2: where when big business, be a big tech corporations, when
Speaker 2: they have an opportunity to consolidate, they will. When they
Speaker 2: have an opportunity to pay fewer people or increase the
Speaker 2: workload of people for no cost, they will. That, unfortunately,
Speaker 2: is how capitalism works. We always talk about we live
Speaker 2: in a capitalistic society. We can't be socialist, can't be communists. Well,
Speaker 2: this is the other side of that. This is how
Speaker 2: corporations get down. Where why hire ten people to do
Speaker 2: ten jobs when I could have one person who could
Speaker 2: do those ten jobs. That's why you will see syndicated
Speaker 2: talent moving out local hosts in radio.
Speaker 3: That's why you will.
Speaker 2: See syndicated television shows and you'll get rid of your
Speaker 2: local programming. And you're going to see it in every
Speaker 2: facet of media, and of course with print media, it's
Speaker 2: you're seeing it exponentially, So they're just getting rid of
Speaker 2: getting rid of local journalists, local outlets. Remember, no, you
Speaker 2: wouldn't remember Mark because you didn't live here, but there
Speaker 2: was there were these smaller local papers like the La
Speaker 2: Herald Examiner.
Speaker 5: Well, they've been going extinct essentially ever since I started
Speaker 5: as a young baby reporter. I mean, it's been an
Speaker 5: ongoing extinction. And the thing you have to know is
Speaker 5: that the less of that you have, the less you
Speaker 5: know of, the less information you have to make decisions
Speaker 5: about your life. Because you know they're not going to
Speaker 5: be sending people to local city council meetings, school board meetings.
Speaker 5: Those are all local newspaper things to cover, and you
Speaker 5: need to know what's going on at those places because
Speaker 5: in the absence of holding people accountable, what do you get?
Speaker 5: You get cheating and corruption and people cut in corners
Speaker 5: and self dealing and all sorts of things you probably
Speaker 5: don't want.
Speaker 2: But see, that is journalism what it is performing at
Speaker 2: its best. Now we have corporate media, which is profit motivated,
Speaker 2: and I'm not saying that newspapers don't have a profit motive,
Speaker 2: but it's completely different.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they can have the motive. Yeah, but there's not
Speaker 5: a lot of profit. And we should point out to
Speaker 5: people who are you know, still in the fetal stage
Speaker 5: of development that networks used to regard the news as
Speaker 5: a loss leader. It was a public service and they
Speaker 5: didn't require it to make a profit. That's what all
Speaker 5: their other programming did.
Speaker 2: Yes, but now it's looked at and this is I think,
Speaker 2: correct me if I'm wrong. I think this is a
Speaker 2: result of the cable media phenomenon where people realize, wait
Speaker 2: a minute, we can we can make millions and millions
Speaker 2: of dollars of just telling people what they want to
Speaker 2: hear and just providing news air quotes in the form
Speaker 2: of entertainment as opposed to actually giving facts of the who, what, when, where,
Speaker 2: why and how?
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 5: And I torture myself by going on YouTube and watching
Speaker 5: old clips of Edward R. Murrow and old school really
Speaker 5: capital J journalists, And it is torture when you hold
Speaker 5: it up against some of the idiot propaganda that we
Speaker 5: see that passes itself off as news today. But there
Speaker 5: really isn't. And you know, like when you hear about
Speaker 5: the kind of things that journalists are dissiplanned for, there
Speaker 5: was I think there was a weather lady who at
Speaker 5: a local station who was fired for on her own
Speaker 5: time criticizing Elon Musk's really obvious seguile salute and correctly
Speaker 5: accurately characterizing, oh yeah, please. There's no legitimate debate that
Speaker 5: it was anything other than that.
Speaker 3: But try to imagine what one like Edward R.
Speaker 5: Murrow or Walter Cronkite would say if somebody tried to
Speaker 5: discipline them for saying the obvious.
Speaker 3: Okay, because that's what that is. But there are two
Speaker 3: parts of that.
Speaker 2: You have journalists capital j who were disciplined for saying
Speaker 2: the obvious, and then we are then allowing the obvious
Speaker 2: to not be said, If that makes any sense, We're
Speaker 2: allowing all the egregious stuff to go by unchecked, unresponded to, Oh.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I could talk about that all night. A good
Speaker 5: deal of what passes from modern news coverage is avoidance
Speaker 5: because people don't want to aliena watchers, readers, listeners, sponsors,
Speaker 5: instead of the old reporting the news without fear or favor,
Speaker 5: because you need to get people information that they need
Speaker 5: to have.
Speaker 2: I just wish we had a higher news literacy quotion
Speaker 2: where people understood what news was supposed to be what
Speaker 2: the rules is governing broadcast news versus cable news, And
Speaker 2: I say cable news and quotations, because if you're watching
Speaker 2: it on cable innate news, it's opinion and editorial and
Speaker 2: understanding the difference between the two and recognizing that if
Speaker 2: you're watching it on CNN, MSNBC, Fox News with varying
Speaker 2: levels of credibility, it's no different than Comedy Central in
Speaker 2: the Daily Show, because they're just giving you their take
Speaker 2: on the news, and they're highly filtering that's one word
Speaker 2: I'll put it, and curating.
Speaker 5: What is going to be covered. I don't think they're
Speaker 5: all equal. Your point's still well taken. I'm not interested
Speaker 5: in liberal or conservative news. I want news and facts.
Speaker 5: I want the powerful held accountable. I want information that's
Speaker 5: I want to know what's true and what's false, and
Speaker 5: we're not getting that. We are definitely siloed so that
Speaker 5: if you want, you can stay in your own bubble
Speaker 5: and only hear things that you want to hear. But
Speaker 5: that's not really any way to function.
Speaker 2: And going back to the Alan media story, this is
Speaker 2: not that, but it's very close to that. When you
Speaker 2: have fewer legitimate outlets which are giving you targeted and
Speaker 2: specific news relevant to you and where you are. Then
Speaker 2: you are more easily manipulated. There's no question about it.
Speaker 2: And you know, my very first newspaper job was at Gannette,
Speaker 2: which was known for buying up little papers and sort
Speaker 2: of McDonaldizing them. I can say this categorically. Media consolidation
Speaker 2: is always, always, without exception, bad for the consumer, might
Speaker 2: be good for the stockholders, not for you who just
Speaker 2: need to know what's going on. I'll put it in
Speaker 2: another context that I think people would more easily understand. Remember,
Speaker 2: once upon a time, you would turn on just in
Speaker 2: a music context, you turn on your radio and you'd
Speaker 2: have a playlist of songs that people in that particular
Speaker 2: area city or county wanted to hear. It's you calling
Speaker 2: in and I'm not going to get into payola, but
Speaker 2: still that playlist was largely curated for that particular area.
Speaker 2: Now you turn on the radio and you have a
Speaker 2: playlist which is curated by someone probably four states away,
Speaker 2: and all the stations sound pretty much exactly the same,
Speaker 2: exactly the same, playing the same music, and people don't
Speaker 2: have a broad appreciation of music because they're all hearing
Speaker 2: the same eighteen damn songs.
Speaker 5: That's no fun and it doesn't help anybody, and you know,
Speaker 5: you can translate it to all sorts of media. The
Speaker 5: reason that I still to this day will enjoy watching
Speaker 5: a little bit of Root sixty six, it's because all
Speaker 5: the regions looked and spoke and acted differently, and now
Speaker 5: almost every place looks the same, sounds the same, yeah, everything, yeah,
Speaker 5: and so does nothing but harm people. When you get
Speaker 5: rid of local personalities, local coverage. It's just bat all
Speaker 5: the way around. I can't think of a single thing
Speaker 5: to recommend it, except, like I said, if you're a stockholder.
Speaker 3: But there's got to be more to life than that.
Speaker 5: I mean, there's got to be a point at which
Speaker 5: you say, I guess I've got enough money to be
Speaker 5: okay for ten lifetimes.
Speaker 3: How about we just go with what we got not
Speaker 3: in this capitalistic society.
Speaker 5: I'm not against capitalism at all, but I think it
Speaker 5: has to be regulated at the point right before it
Speaker 5: starts to eat itself and kill people.
Speaker 2: It's weird for me because people will complain about the
Speaker 2: price of eggs.
Speaker 3: Let's tie it all together.
Speaker 2: Complain about the price of eggs, you complain about the
Speaker 2: price of milk, You complain about how the rent is
Speaker 2: too damn high, and then you don't realize, well, this
Speaker 2: is what you want. This capitalism is about winners and losers.
Speaker 2: It's a sum total game, you know, it's a zero
Speaker 2: sum game. If someone is going to be making more money,
Speaker 2: someone is going to be making less money. And if
Speaker 2: you find yourself always complaining about, oh my gosh, everything
Speaker 2: is so damn high, don't blame the government.
Speaker 3: That's what you ask for. This is what you want.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 5: There's no ideal ending point to the type of rapacious
Speaker 5: capitalism you're describing.
Speaker 3: M h.
Speaker 5: I mean there's there's there's no point where you win.
Speaker 5: It's like you've always got to grow no matter what,
Speaker 5: and there's there's no stopping it. And that's where regulation
Speaker 5: comes in.
Speaker 3: Oh, you're talking like quarterly earnings meetings and things like that.
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, that language that I don't really speak very well.
Speaker 5: I get that stuff in the mail from my four
Speaker 5: oh one k's and it just goes right into the shredder.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's later with mo Kelly. Let's lighten it up
Speaker 2: a bit when we come back. Let's talk about erection. Honey,
Speaker 2: can if I AM since forty. Yes, erection honey, thank you?
Speaker 2: How did say erection comma honey?
Speaker 3: Oh? Erection honey? Back to you, Darling only on Late
Speaker 3: with bo Kelly?
Speaker 2: Can they make a turn like that talking about the
Speaker 2: seriousness of capitalism?
Speaker 1: And then yeah, you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly
Speaker 1: on demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: Sometimes I'm kind of glad I'm not on the club
Speaker 2: scene anymore. In fact, many times I'm really glad I'm
Speaker 2: not on the club scene anymore. The stuff you have
Speaker 2: to watch out for, man, it's really changed in over
Speaker 2: the years or so. There's a warning out there is
Speaker 2: a deadly new drug out there which is being sold
Speaker 2: as a quote unquote natural afrodisiac, except this lace with viagra.
Speaker 2: It's called erection honey. That's the name, Not erection comma honey,
Speaker 2: just erection honey. Packets of honey laced packets of honey
Speaker 2: comma lace with erectile function drugs such as viagra are
Speaker 2: being sold as an all natural afrodisiac, and they're being
Speaker 2: seized in record quantities right now in France. But the
Speaker 2: trend will probably spread here. No pun intended authorities have
Speaker 2: warned customers they are taking serious risks by consuming the
Speaker 2: honey due to its potentially deadly effects. French customs officials
Speaker 2: said last Monday that a record thirty one thousand tons
Speaker 2: of the illegally imported honey but tainted with drugs like viagra,
Speaker 2: was seized in the country last year thirty one thousand tons.
Speaker 2: The packets of honey and gels sold as shots or
Speaker 2: sticks with names like oh Gosh, they did not names
Speaker 2: like black Horse and biomacs are often sold surreptitiously in
Speaker 2: clubs and other nightlife spots. Use of the afro desiac
Speaker 2: honey has increased in recent years, but very very dangerous.
Speaker 2: They often complain contained chemical products like sidental phil and tadalaphil,
Speaker 2: the main substances in viagra and sialis, and in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty one, health authorities warned of several cases where the
Speaker 2: honey had caused convulsions, cerebral edemas, and acute kidney injuries
Speaker 2: and erections lasting long than four hours. France's customs office
Speaker 2: that the honey was seened was mainly entering by ship
Speaker 2: from countries including Malaysia, Turkey, Tunisia and Thailand. The biggest
Speaker 2: fine was made in the Mediterranean port city of Marseille,
Speaker 2: some thirteen thousand, thirteen tons worth worth about eight hundred
Speaker 2: and sixty in around eight hundred and sixty thousand sticks
Speaker 2: in a shipment from Malaysia.
Speaker 3: That's a lot of a lot of sticks, A lot
Speaker 3: of sticks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, is a risk. I'm trying to be ready
Speaker 2: this time. You were only ten seconds late. You might
Speaker 2: see some erection. Honey timings everything erection, come honey. If
Speaker 2: you take too much, you risk epileptic seizures, hemorrhages, or
Speaker 2: kidney problems, hemorrhages. Yeah, it didn't say it could have
Speaker 2: been brain hemorrhages.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know them at any hemorrhage is probably bad.
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is because the dose isn't regulated, like you
Speaker 5: just take a pill normally. But you could just like say,
Speaker 5: let's cover this whole bagel with the honey.
Speaker 2: Probably because as far as I know, they're ingesting it.
Speaker 3: They're not swabbing it and lathering it all. Nevermind.
Speaker 2: In France men men usually can be treated for EDI
Speaker 2: for a variety of options. But I guess this is
Speaker 2: a sexual way to go about it, where you just
Speaker 2: ingest the honey, and you're ready to go, put in
Speaker 2: a little tea.
Speaker 3: Huh yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: Younger people are going for this in a big way,
Speaker 2: according to trends, thinking they can match the performances to
Speaker 2: be found on porn sites because we all know porn
Speaker 2: is real.
Speaker 3: That's so wild and sad.
Speaker 2: You know what, when I was in my clubbing days,
Speaker 2: there were always pills around. Yeah, you could find coke.
Speaker 2: Ecstasy was real big backs then, yeah, but.
Speaker 3: I never had any desire.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I could have gotten I could have
Speaker 2: gotten there for free, but I saw too many people
Speaker 2: lose their jobs, lose their lives, lose their livelihoods, falling
Speaker 2: prey to drugs.
Speaker 3: So I never had any desire to specifically viagra. Well,
Speaker 3: for me, it's all one thing. It's drugs.
Speaker 2: So if you're trying, if someone is giving you some
Speaker 2: sort of mind altering or body altering substance in a
Speaker 2: club situation, for me, that's an absolute hell.
Speaker 5: No, at least put on a white lab coat. Okay,
Speaker 5: don't just like give me a pill from some dude.
Speaker 2: It's not even a pill, it's at yeah, you squeeze
Speaker 2: it in and yet like not to like victim shame.
Speaker 4: But it's like you're really just gonna buy someone something
Speaker 4: from someone in a dark club like that.
Speaker 3: But then again, people, yeah, people do.
Speaker 2: They buy that stuff from people they don't know, with
Speaker 2: effects which are not quite known. And obviously the dosages
Speaker 2: are not regulated. But wait, I just thought about this.
Speaker 2: I just thought about this. Is this so that people
Speaker 2: are having sex in the clubs? Because if it's an
Speaker 2: afrodisiac and it's for so are.
Speaker 3: They getting it in on the dance floor? Look, all
Speaker 3: I can say is how can I say this? Say
Speaker 3: it carefully?
Speaker 2: Okay, in my wayward days, many many years ago, there
Speaker 2: were some times in some places I'm not exactly proud of.
Speaker 2: But there is more than a couple club bathrooms which
Speaker 2: might have memory of me. That's okay. Don't take a
Speaker 2: black light into those rooms. Well, hopefully they'd clean them
Speaker 2: in the past thirty five years. Maybe you bleach, you know,
Speaker 2: in the nineteen nineties at some point sand blasted and
Speaker 2: at the speed that the clubs shut down, it's probably
Speaker 2: not even there. Yeah, most of the clubs I went
Speaker 2: to in the nineties, I'm sure they're gone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're gone.
Speaker 2: Red Onion, mister j all the blacks, all of them. Magantine, Well,
Speaker 2: Florntine Guards is still there.
Speaker 1: It is.
Speaker 3: It's Hollywood Boulevard absolutely is Wow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've never done anything in Florentine Gardens.
Speaker 3: I love that nature.
Speaker 4: I honestly thought that was just like a bare building
Speaker 4: until I actually had drop someone off there and it
Speaker 4: was packed on a Saturday night.
Speaker 2: This is the thing I can't understand about the Hollywood
Speaker 2: Florentine Gardens.
Speaker 3: It's just the biggest dance floor.
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is now, but when I
Speaker 2: went there, it was just a big warehouse dance floor
Speaker 2: and bars on the opposite end.
Speaker 4: And it's the only one that I've been not been inside,
Speaker 4: but when dropping someone off or picking them up where
Speaker 4: it doesn't look appealing on the outset, it looks like
Speaker 4: just this old rundown building.
Speaker 5: It's always looked like that. Back of the day, it
Speaker 5: just had lights on it. I think they had bright
Speaker 5: lights on it, different colors up in the pillars.
Speaker 2: But it had a great promotional campaign with power Onintal
Speaker 2: six back in the day. It was like everything that
Speaker 2: power onetal six was doing, it was they were doing
Speaker 2: it at Hollywood Florentine Gardens's back when.
Speaker 5: They were like a dance station, like dance Debbie Dab
Speaker 5: that kind of stuff. All right, So this is kind
Speaker 5: of a naive question, but wouldn't taking one of those
Speaker 5: honey packets make dancing a little unwieldy and awkward unless it? Yeah,
Speaker 5: I mean, look, if you're if you're taking the erection packet,
Speaker 5: you obviously want whoever it is you're dancing with to
Speaker 5: know what you're working with, to know what time it is,
Speaker 5: and to signal that it's time to as Mo would say,
Speaker 5: head to the bathroom. Need to know what time it is,
Speaker 5: like a sun dial something like that. As you're dancing, figure,
Speaker 5: you know there's a song, there's actual song, too close
Speaker 5: the song you know by next something fill my nature
Speaker 5: rising And it's surprising, girl, you know what time it is?
Speaker 2: Something doesn't sing much? But I get, you get. But
Speaker 2: I wonder do twenty two year olds even dance anymore?
Speaker 3: Like together?
Speaker 5: They don't slow dance, they do groove. They experience that
Speaker 5: thing that we used to have called modesty. Oh hells okay,
Speaker 5: modesty No, that went out in like nineteen eighty seven. Ish.
Speaker 3: I feel like, yeah, all I see is couples.
Speaker 4: You can tell when it's a couple, or it's a
Speaker 4: group of guys group of girls, still like it was
Speaker 4: back in the day. I don't know what they're doing inside,
Speaker 4: but it's like, you know, they still go in groups.
Speaker 2: So I can only imagine what these dating apps, the
Speaker 2: whole swipe left and swipe right phenomenon and people just
Speaker 2: from what I hear, I honestly don't know.
Speaker 3: I've never been on any of these dating apps.
Speaker 2: What I hear it's very easy to hook up with someone.
Speaker 5: Because now every single profile is literally in bold print.
Speaker 5: I'm not here for the hookup. I'm not DTF, keep
Speaker 5: it in your pants, don't send me any And I'm like,
Speaker 5: have all of you been scarred?
Speaker 3: Poor women? What is going on in the world? That's true?
Speaker 4: And then there's ones that do say like, oh, not
Speaker 4: here for a long time, here for a good time.
Speaker 2: So yeah, there's a couple of those, but those are
Speaker 2: usually bots. Yeah, because it's broken English. Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 2: don't know how Like your son, Tuala, his world of
Speaker 2: dating doesn't make sense at all.
Speaker 3: No, it just makes no sense, very weird.
Speaker 5: Just tell him to stay home and keep the brutalist
Speaker 5: on a loop. No, no, no, it's like every other
Speaker 5: day he's going to hang out.
Speaker 3: He's like, so after work, I'm gonna go hang on.
Speaker 5: My friends are gonna go to this bar or go
Speaker 5: to this spot, and was just gonna hang We're just
Speaker 5: gonna hang.
Speaker 2: We kind of did that back and then when we
Speaker 2: went to the Red Onion, we didn't have any money,
Speaker 2: so all could do is hang out.
Speaker 3: But we actually danced back then.
Speaker 2: That's how That's how we had the opportunity to meet women,
Speaker 2: you know, because if you could dance, and you could,
Speaker 2: you know, if you had moves, then they knew you
Speaker 2: had moves.
Speaker 3: They knew you had horizontal moves. Yes, exactly. That wasn't
Speaker 3: a joke. That was dead serious. I'm being serious. But okay,
Speaker 3: we got.
Speaker 1: You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on Demand.
Speaker 2: Last segment, we were having a discussion about dating. I'm
Speaker 2: just you know, really narrowing it down dating and how
Speaker 2: it's changed over the past thirty years or so. I
Speaker 2: don't know if courting is still a thing to guys
Speaker 2: actually try to court a woman, try to date a woman.
Speaker 2: I mean, what's the whole mating process these days?
Speaker 3: Just doesn't make it.
Speaker 4: These sense from what From what I see, it's basically, yeah,
Speaker 4: there's always going to be both sides are going to
Speaker 4: want to hook up, but a lot, a lot less
Speaker 4: people want to have kids because everything's just so expensive now.
Speaker 4: But even if you get into a long term relationship,
Speaker 4: half the time, like I've seen on the profiles, oh
Speaker 4: don't want kids, Like they'll know right then and there. So,
Speaker 4: you know, I think it's just it's you know, it's
Speaker 4: not like back in the days when people would have
Speaker 4: seven kids and one family and they'd be able to
Speaker 4: survive on one paycheck.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that ain't never happened, not gonna happen every yea. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that time is not coming back to America. I love
Speaker 2: it how people say, do you remember when, Yes, for
Speaker 2: the most part I do. When I was growing up,
Speaker 2: you could buy a house for like thirty thousand dollars,
Speaker 2: you could buy a car for two three thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: You could work in one place for forty years just
Speaker 2: one income, and that would sustain the family.
Speaker 3: Were common. That time is never coming back, And.
Speaker 2: That's why I get so angry at people talking about, well,
Speaker 2: let's go back to you know, you know, when when
Speaker 2: America was great however you want to phrase it, those
Speaker 2: times are not coming back for a number of reasons.
Speaker 2: My parents' lifestyle, two people who had incomes as teachers
Speaker 2: and be able to send my sister and me to college,
Speaker 2: that's just not financially possible.
Speaker 5: Eighty more Well, part of the reason for that is
Speaker 5: that a lot of the same people who think that
Speaker 5: we should go back to like a nineteen fifties leave
Speaker 5: it to Beaver type of America also do not want
Speaker 5: the top ninety percent tax rate that made that possible.
Speaker 3: You might be right, You might be right. I mean,
Speaker 3: you can't eat your cake and have it too. No,
Speaker 3: you're speaking from history. That was a real tax bracket.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and now we talk about not getting tax Yeah,
Speaker 2: I guess no one wants to give up any portion
Speaker 2: of their income. But at the same time we want
Speaker 2: all the same services and also the other privileges which
Speaker 2: come with living in America.
Speaker 3: And it doesn't work that way. The math doesn't work
Speaker 3: out like that. I'm worried about the Beaver the show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, since we're but never mind, I misunderstood you.
Speaker 2: I thought you were talking about something else because we
Speaker 2: were talking about.
Speaker 3: I'm going to stop trying to expect.
Speaker 5: I try to be as straightforward and clean as possible
Speaker 5: on UH Later with Mo Kelly.
Speaker 3: I hope you know that well.
Speaker 2: You damn sure weren't straightforward and clean as possible on
Speaker 2: your show.
Speaker 3: I don't know what you heard. I was trying to
Speaker 3: be a perfect Oh.
Speaker 5: I heard braw sizes and no, no, no, you must
Speaker 5: have been listening to something else by like a Stern
Speaker 5: rerun or something. I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 5: This is UH, this is slender and or libel, and
Speaker 5: you'll be hearing from my people.
Speaker 3: Your people.
Speaker 2: Now you've got people, my peoples up.
Speaker 3: Now, you got people. We tried less stimulating talk.
