1
00:00:00.760 --> 00:00:04.360
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from

2
00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:06.000
<v Speaker 1>KFI AM six forty.

3
00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:09.519
<v Speaker 2>It's Later with Bo Kelly. We are alive everywhere on

4
00:00:09.560 --> 00:00:12.160
<v Speaker 2>the iHeartRadio app. And as we look at the box

5
00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:15.679
<v Speaker 2>office for this past weekend, it is a perfect example

6
00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:21.000
<v Speaker 2>of why movie theaters will continue to struggle. We talk

7
00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:23.480
<v Speaker 2>about there being a dearth of movies. In other words,

8
00:00:23.719 --> 00:00:27.920
<v Speaker 2>movie theaters have fewer movies to even show, and the

9
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:31.239
<v Speaker 2>ones which are coming out are not staying in theaters

10
00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:33.880
<v Speaker 2>for any real length of time. They're going straight to

11
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:37.320
<v Speaker 2>streaming after a couple of weeks. And the movies which

12
00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:40.840
<v Speaker 2>are in theaters and not staying very long are not

13
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:41.719
<v Speaker 2>at the same quality.

14
00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:42.799
<v Speaker 3>Let me just put it that way.

15
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:46.479
<v Speaker 2>The number one movie this week in all of America,

16
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:50.960
<v Speaker 2>and basically, you know, you come in right after a

17
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:54.799
<v Speaker 2>holiday weekend. There, I'm not sure everyone is even back

18
00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:57.520
<v Speaker 2>in school as far as college, so there there's still

19
00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:02.479
<v Speaker 2>a movie going public out there. And understand fires in California,

20
00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:05.239
<v Speaker 2>but we're talking about the whole country. The number one

21
00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:08.640
<v Speaker 2>movie was Flight Risk, the Mark Wahlberg movie, and I'm

22
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:11.959
<v Speaker 2>not so sure I want to see it wasn't released internationally,

23
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:18.159
<v Speaker 2>only grossed eleven point five million domestically eleven point five million.

24
00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:22.640
<v Speaker 2>The number one movie. What does that tell you? And

25
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:24.719
<v Speaker 2>it was in thirty one hundred theaters. That is a

26
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:30.400
<v Speaker 2>wide release, thirty one hundred theaters. It means that people

27
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:33.159
<v Speaker 2>were not going to the movies at all. The number

28
00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:36.280
<v Speaker 2>two movie was Move Faster. The Lion Key in its

29
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:40.719
<v Speaker 2>sixth week, brought in eight point five million for a

30
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:44.799
<v Speaker 2>worldwide total of six hundred and twenty seven million. And

31
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:47.560
<v Speaker 2>we talk about movie theaters need people to come to

32
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:51.439
<v Speaker 2>the theater throughout the week. It used to be theaters

33
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:54.159
<v Speaker 2>for open seven days a week. You're seeing more and

34
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:57.519
<v Speaker 2>more theaters only open let's say four or five days

35
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:00.879
<v Speaker 2>a week. They may be opened Thursday through Monday. They're

36
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:03.640
<v Speaker 2>not staying open the whole week, or they're not showing

37
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:06.359
<v Speaker 2>as many screenings of movies like they used to.

38
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:10.360
<v Speaker 3>Did you know that Mel Gibson directive Flight Risk? Yes?

39
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:13.800
<v Speaker 3>I did. I thought he was bad. I guess that's it.

40
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:17.080
<v Speaker 3>Mel Gibson is back. He is. He was never canceled.

41
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:20.759
<v Speaker 2>No, he was highly criticized for a period of time,

42
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:27.159
<v Speaker 2>but he never stopped acting, never stopped directing, was not

43
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:32.159
<v Speaker 2>excommunicated from Hollywood wasn't banned from any type of ceremony

44
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:35.439
<v Speaker 2>in the way that Will Smith was banned from the Oscars.

45
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:39.159
<v Speaker 2>Now he's an older actor, so I don't think it's

46
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:42.919
<v Speaker 2>fair to expect him to have the type of stardom

47
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:44.960
<v Speaker 2>that he once enjoyed when he was a part of

48
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:48.840
<v Speaker 2>the Lethal Weapon franchise, for example. He's not a leading

49
00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:51.840
<v Speaker 2>man in that regard anymore. But it's not like he's

50
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:55.639
<v Speaker 2>ever stopped acting. Isn't he like ambassador to Hollywood or something.

51
00:02:55.639 --> 00:03:00.639
<v Speaker 2>Now Trump gave him some sort of ambassadorship, But my

52
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:05.240
<v Speaker 2>point is he he never disappeared off the scene, so

53
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:09.240
<v Speaker 2>he was never canceled. Flight Risk was number one, luved Foster,

54
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:12.439
<v Speaker 2>The Lion King, number two, number three, one of them days,

55
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:17.080
<v Speaker 2>number four, Sonic the Hedgehog three. I don't care what

56
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:19.960
<v Speaker 2>anyone says, I just can't watch a Sonic Hedgehog movie.

57
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:23.000
<v Speaker 3>Just you know. That's where my son says it's one

58
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:24.159
<v Speaker 3>of the best movies of the year.

59
00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:26.599
<v Speaker 2>I gotta draw the line of Sonic the Hedgehog and

60
00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:29.039
<v Speaker 2>your eighteen year old son talking about the best movie

61
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:31.840
<v Speaker 2>of the year. Let's put it in context. Okay, Boos

62
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:33.400
<v Speaker 2>like started the Hedgehog stuff.

63
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:35.560
<v Speaker 3>It's one of the best movies of the year.

64
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:37.719
<v Speaker 4>I wouldn't say that, Okay, not to the best movie

65
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:40.919
<v Speaker 4>the year, but it was really well done. If you've

66
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:44.400
<v Speaker 4>know the story, yeah, and I don't, and I didn't

67
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:45.240
<v Speaker 4>even play the game.

68
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:46.000
<v Speaker 3>So yeah.

69
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:49.879
<v Speaker 2>Muana two was number five, still hanging around in its

70
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:51.919
<v Speaker 2>ninth week, surprisingly enough.

71
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:54.599
<v Speaker 3>But these are depressed totals.

72
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:58.159
<v Speaker 2>It's not like people are going to the movies in

73
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:00.680
<v Speaker 2>large numbers. That's why you have the number one movie

74
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:05.039
<v Speaker 2>only eleven point five million. There aren't any big movies

75
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:07.080
<v Speaker 2>coming for what another two weeks?

76
00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:11.719
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, for February tenth Captain America. Yeah, and then after

77
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:14.439
<v Speaker 5>that it's another Dearth. It's another I think February, and

78
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:18.600
<v Speaker 5>then I think maybe March there's one, and then but

79
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:20.279
<v Speaker 5>then after that it's all the way till May.

80
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:20.519
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

81
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:23.720
<v Speaker 2>It's really difficult for theaters to stay in business, to

82
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:26.759
<v Speaker 2>pay the sixteen year old kid with acne to run

83
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:31.879
<v Speaker 2>the popcorn and also, you know, the cashier. It's really

84
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:35.439
<v Speaker 2>difficult for movie theaters to stay open seven days a

85
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:39.879
<v Speaker 2>week showing movies from let's say eleven am to eleven PM,

86
00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:44.040
<v Speaker 2>when the movies are just not there. In terms of quality,

87
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:49.519
<v Speaker 2>in terms of appeal to bring people in seven days

88
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:51.839
<v Speaker 2>a week, that's a long time for a business to

89
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:55.759
<v Speaker 2>stay open for mediocre movies or movies which have already

90
00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:57.920
<v Speaker 2>been in the box office for a number of weeks.

91
00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:01.480
<v Speaker 2>Sonct the Hedgehog has been in theaters for six weeks.

92
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:05.079
<v Speaker 2>God bless them for them even keeping it in theaters

93
00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:08.319
<v Speaker 2>that long. But people are not running to see Sonic

94
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:12.040
<v Speaker 2>the Hedgehog three and four times. Moana two one of

95
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:15.160
<v Speaker 2>the biggest movies of the past three hundred and sixty

96
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:19.079
<v Speaker 2>five days it crosses the year, but people are not

97
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:22.720
<v Speaker 2>lining up to see Mowana two anymore. That's why it

98
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:24.720
<v Speaker 2>only brought in four million this week, but it's still

99
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:28.480
<v Speaker 2>in the top ten. Yeah, this business model is not

100
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:30.600
<v Speaker 2>going to work for movie theaters going forward.

101
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:32.360
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what it's going to turn into.

102
00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:35.399
<v Speaker 2>But we had a friend who was just talking to

103
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:38.319
<v Speaker 2>us in text, doctor Liz, who was talking about how

104
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:42.079
<v Speaker 2>she went to see The Brutalist this weekend said it

105
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:44.920
<v Speaker 2>was like three and a half hours with an intermission.

106
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:48.439
<v Speaker 2>I'm not doing that. I'm not going to a movie

107
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:52.720
<v Speaker 2>with an intermission that's three and a half hours long.

108
00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:56.800
<v Speaker 2>That means it's a four hour affair, not including drivetime

109
00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:00.720
<v Speaker 2>both ways. I would much rather, assuming I even wanted

110
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:03.319
<v Speaker 2>to see the movie, I would much rather wait three

111
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:05.199
<v Speaker 2>or four weeks and catch.

112
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:06.480
<v Speaker 3>It on some streaming service.

113
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:09.240
<v Speaker 2>Why, because the oscars are going to make sure that

114
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:10.560
<v Speaker 2>it's available for streaming.

115
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:12.480
<v Speaker 3>The Brutalist is a long haul.

116
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:14.279
<v Speaker 5>I watched it over the weekend and it took me

117
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:15.720
<v Speaker 5>a couple sittings to get through it.

118
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:18.759
<v Speaker 3>Can't do that. Can't do that. But it's really good.

119
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:21.120
<v Speaker 3>You got a pay attition, right, it's a terrific movie.

120
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:25.199
<v Speaker 3>Get to pay attention the whole way. It helps. I

121
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:25.639
<v Speaker 3>can't do.

122
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:28.319
<v Speaker 2>I can't watch it and do my laundry, you know,

123
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:31.759
<v Speaker 2>and rearrange my sock drawer, I change the linen on

124
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:32.079
<v Speaker 2>my bed.

125
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:34.480
<v Speaker 5>Maybe you could speed it up like a quarter speed extra,

126
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:37.399
<v Speaker 5>but I'm not sure you'd really get everything you should

127
00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:38.079
<v Speaker 5>be getting out of it.

128
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:38.759
<v Speaker 3>It's worth seeing.

129
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:42.519
<v Speaker 5>But I too, you know, am given pause by a

130
00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:43.399
<v Speaker 5>movie that takes.

131
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:45.600
<v Speaker 3>A half a day to watch. Do people actually do that?

132
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:49.040
<v Speaker 2>I see those speed settings, especially on Netflix, and I

133
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:53.399
<v Speaker 2>wonder if I've never sped up a movie to watch

134
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:55.839
<v Speaker 2>it because I was rushed for time it seems like

135
00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:58.199
<v Speaker 2>it would throw off the rhythm of the dialogue and everything.

136
00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:00.680
<v Speaker 5>You'd have to have absolutely no respect for the thing

137
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:01.519
<v Speaker 5>that you're consuming.

138
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:04.879
<v Speaker 4>I think it's more common with podcasts because it's just audio,

139
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:07.120
<v Speaker 4>so it's just speeds up there they're speaking, And the

140
00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:08.839
<v Speaker 4>only time I've ever spent a video is like a

141
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:10.600
<v Speaker 4>YouTube like okay, let's get to the point.

142
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:12.360
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, I couldn't do it to a movie.

143
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:14.959
<v Speaker 2>They have that option on Netflix, you can do like, yeah,

144
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:17.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, one in a quarter one and a half times.

145
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:20.959
<v Speaker 2>I know. It's just if I'm going to enjoy a movie,

146
00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:23.759
<v Speaker 2>then I'm going to enjoy it as it was intended

147
00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:26.120
<v Speaker 2>to be enjoyed. If I have to rush through it

148
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:29.639
<v Speaker 2>for whatever reason, then I'm just denying myself the whole

149
00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:31.439
<v Speaker 2>experience and an enjoyment of the movie.

150
00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:34.319
<v Speaker 5>Well, I'll settle in then with some food, some hydration,

151
00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:37.600
<v Speaker 5>some extra clothing for the brutalist.

152
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:38.800
<v Speaker 3>It is a long haul.

153
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:42.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm probably not going to watch it one because

154
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:46.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm not really big into what I call period pieces.

155
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:50.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm just you know, I'm just looking for escape action,

156
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:53.519
<v Speaker 2>and it seems like it's real, real heavy.

157
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:57.879
<v Speaker 3>It's got some heavy spots, but it is worth seeing.

158
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:02.560
<v Speaker 3>I'm looking for any nudity sex scenes.

159
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:06.480
<v Speaker 5>Well, I had a joke on Saturday Night that it

160
00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:11.720
<v Speaker 5>looks like you may get to see Adrian Brodie's Little Brutalist.

161
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:14.759
<v Speaker 5>At some point I heard that. I said it was

162
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:18.199
<v Speaker 5>a Martin that you're a tiptoe. Yeah, that wasn't exactly

163
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:20.959
<v Speaker 5>what I meant. Well, I mean you said nudity, I

164
00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:22.240
<v Speaker 5>would what do you want?

165
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:24.519
<v Speaker 2>Thank you for answering the question, but I'm just saying

166
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:27.279
<v Speaker 2>that doesn't enhance my desire to see the movie. Well

167
00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:32.000
<v Speaker 2>that's what you say. Kf I AM six forty. We're

168
00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:35.759
<v Speaker 2>live everywhere. Damn, Mark Ronner, I don't know what the

169
00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:37.279
<v Speaker 2>hell I'm going to do with you. Get him out

170
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:38.799
<v Speaker 2>of this too. You know all those nice things I

171
00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:40.399
<v Speaker 2>said about him at the top of the shot, Take

172
00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:42.879
<v Speaker 2>them all back, mo, you're the real brutalist.

173
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:47.240
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from

174
00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:48.879
<v Speaker 1>KFI AM six forty.

175
00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:52.159
<v Speaker 2>And you may not have heard of the Allen Media group.

176
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:56.519
<v Speaker 2>You may be more familiar with the Weather Channel, or

177
00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:59.960
<v Speaker 2>you may have may have heard of the media mogul

178
00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:03.399
<v Speaker 2>Byron Allen but not made the connection. Well, Byron Allen,

179
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:07.919
<v Speaker 2>who owns Allan Media Group, has been receiving a lot

180
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:11.879
<v Speaker 2>of criticism as of late because Alan Media Group was

181
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:17.159
<v Speaker 2>going to going to layoff or reassign workers across all

182
00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:21.279
<v Speaker 2>of its nearly two dozen TV stations, including Fox, NBC, ABC,

183
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:25.960
<v Speaker 2>CBS affiliates from California and Hawaii to Alabama and Arizona.

184
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:30.559
<v Speaker 2>And they had already announced this because they wanted to

185
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:37.039
<v Speaker 2>move in more like regional weathercasters instead of having the

186
00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:39.440
<v Speaker 2>local ones in the individual markets.

187
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:40.200
<v Speaker 3>Think of it this way.

188
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:43.279
<v Speaker 2>Let's say they wanted to get rid of KFI, and

189
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:47.279
<v Speaker 2>you would just have a local Los Angeles or a

190
00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:51.799
<v Speaker 2>West Coast radio news source something like that. You get

191
00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:54.639
<v Speaker 2>rid of all the personalities, get rid of John Cobel,

192
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:57.240
<v Speaker 2>get rid of Bill Handle, get rid of Moke Kelly, yeah,

193
00:09:57.279 --> 00:10:00.960
<v Speaker 2>I know, get rid of Garius Shaddon, and then they

194
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:04.440
<v Speaker 2>would have someone maybe in New Mexico or something, giving

195
00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:09.240
<v Speaker 2>a regional forecast or regional news for Los Angeles and

196
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:12.440
<v Speaker 2>all the Western United States. That was what was going

197
00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:18.279
<v Speaker 2>to happen, just for weather casters. And you can imagine

198
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:23.399
<v Speaker 2>the pushback against that has been tremendous. But because of

199
00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:29.399
<v Speaker 2>that pushback, Allen Media reportedly will not fire local meteorologists

200
00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:33.559
<v Speaker 2>after viewer backlash. And there are a couple of things

201
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:35.360
<v Speaker 2>that should be brought out about this, And I know

202
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:39.360
<v Speaker 2>that to Wallace talked about it from a radio syndication standpoint.

203
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:42.919
<v Speaker 2>I know Mark has talked about it from a news

204
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:48.879
<v Speaker 2>information standpoint. I just talk about it from an economics standpoint,

205
00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:55.519
<v Speaker 2>where when big business, be a big tech corporations, when

206
00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:59.480
<v Speaker 2>they have an opportunity to consolidate, they will. When they

207
00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:03.559
<v Speaker 2>have an opportunity to pay fewer people or increase the

208
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:08.480
<v Speaker 2>workload of people for no cost, they will. That, unfortunately,

209
00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:11.000
<v Speaker 2>is how capitalism works. We always talk about we live

210
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:14.240
<v Speaker 2>in a capitalistic society. We can't be socialist, can't be communists. Well,

211
00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:16.480
<v Speaker 2>this is the other side of that. This is how

212
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:21.759
<v Speaker 2>corporations get down. Where why hire ten people to do

213
00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:23.919
<v Speaker 2>ten jobs when I could have one person who could

214
00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:27.320
<v Speaker 2>do those ten jobs. That's why you will see syndicated

215
00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:31.399
<v Speaker 2>talent moving out local hosts in radio.

216
00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:33.399
<v Speaker 3>That's why you will.

217
00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:37.919
<v Speaker 2>See syndicated television shows and you'll get rid of your

218
00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:41.559
<v Speaker 2>local programming. And you're going to see it in every

219
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:45.759
<v Speaker 2>facet of media, and of course with print media, it's

220
00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:49.639
<v Speaker 2>you're seeing it exponentially, So they're just getting rid of

221
00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:54.519
<v Speaker 2>getting rid of local journalists, local outlets. Remember, no, you

222
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:56.480
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't remember Mark because you didn't live here, but there

223
00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:59.879
<v Speaker 2>was there were these smaller local papers like the La

224
00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Herald Examiner.

225
00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:05.320
<v Speaker 5>Well, they've been going extinct essentially ever since I started

226
00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:08.200
<v Speaker 5>as a young baby reporter. I mean, it's been an

227
00:12:08.279 --> 00:12:11.159
<v Speaker 5>ongoing extinction. And the thing you have to know is

228
00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:14.240
<v Speaker 5>that the less of that you have, the less you

229
00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:16.960
<v Speaker 5>know of, the less information you have to make decisions

230
00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:20.200
<v Speaker 5>about your life. Because you know they're not going to

231
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:24.080
<v Speaker 5>be sending people to local city council meetings, school board meetings.

232
00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:26.679
<v Speaker 5>Those are all local newspaper things to cover, and you

233
00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:29.200
<v Speaker 5>need to know what's going on at those places because

234
00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:32.720
<v Speaker 5>in the absence of holding people accountable, what do you get?

235
00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:35.919
<v Speaker 5>You get cheating and corruption and people cut in corners

236
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:38.679
<v Speaker 5>and self dealing and all sorts of things you probably

237
00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:39.279
<v Speaker 5>don't want.

238
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:43.679
<v Speaker 2>But see, that is journalism what it is performing at

239
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:48.759
<v Speaker 2>its best. Now we have corporate media, which is profit motivated,

240
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:51.840
<v Speaker 2>and I'm not saying that newspapers don't have a profit motive,

241
00:12:51.879 --> 00:12:52.960
<v Speaker 2>but it's completely different.

242
00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:53.159
<v Speaker 3>Now.

243
00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:55.799
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, they can have the motive. Yeah, but there's not

244
00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:58.039
<v Speaker 5>a lot of profit. And we should point out to

245
00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:01.440
<v Speaker 5>people who are you know, still in the fetal stage

246
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:05.519
<v Speaker 5>of development that networks used to regard the news as

247
00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:07.519
<v Speaker 5>a loss leader. It was a public service and they

248
00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:09.399
<v Speaker 5>didn't require it to make a profit. That's what all

249
00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:10.559
<v Speaker 5>their other programming did.

250
00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:15.600
<v Speaker 2>Yes, but now it's looked at and this is I think,

251
00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:17.799
<v Speaker 2>correct me if I'm wrong. I think this is a

252
00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:22.600
<v Speaker 2>result of the cable media phenomenon where people realize, wait

253
00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:24.679
<v Speaker 2>a minute, we can we can make millions and millions

254
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:27.240
<v Speaker 2>of dollars of just telling people what they want to

255
00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:31.320
<v Speaker 2>hear and just providing news air quotes in the form

256
00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:36.279
<v Speaker 2>of entertainment as opposed to actually giving facts of the who, what, when, where,

257
00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:37.159
<v Speaker 2>why and how?

258
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:37.639
<v Speaker 3>I know.

259
00:13:38.039 --> 00:13:40.960
<v Speaker 5>And I torture myself by going on YouTube and watching

260
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:45.799
<v Speaker 5>old clips of Edward R. Murrow and old school really

261
00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:48.960
<v Speaker 5>capital J journalists, And it is torture when you hold

262
00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:51.320
<v Speaker 5>it up against some of the idiot propaganda that we

263
00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:54.159
<v Speaker 5>see that passes itself off as news today. But there

264
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:57.919
<v Speaker 5>really isn't. And you know, like when you hear about

265
00:13:57.960 --> 00:14:01.440
<v Speaker 5>the kind of things that journalists are dissiplanned for, there

266
00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:05.559
<v Speaker 5>was I think there was a weather lady who at

267
00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:08.240
<v Speaker 5>a local station who was fired for on her own

268
00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:15.120
<v Speaker 5>time criticizing Elon Musk's really obvious seguile salute and correctly

269
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:20.159
<v Speaker 5>accurately characterizing, oh yeah, please. There's no legitimate debate that

270
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:21.240
<v Speaker 5>it was anything other than that.

271
00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:24.399
<v Speaker 3>But try to imagine what one like Edward R.

272
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:28.120
<v Speaker 5>Murrow or Walter Cronkite would say if somebody tried to

273
00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:31.440
<v Speaker 5>discipline them for saying the obvious.

274
00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:34.279
<v Speaker 3>Okay, because that's what that is. But there are two

275
00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:34.919
<v Speaker 3>parts of that.

276
00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:38.960
<v Speaker 2>You have journalists capital j who were disciplined for saying

277
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:45.559
<v Speaker 2>the obvious, and then we are then allowing the obvious

278
00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:48.240
<v Speaker 2>to not be said, If that makes any sense, We're

279
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:53.480
<v Speaker 2>allowing all the egregious stuff to go by unchecked, unresponded to, Oh.

280
00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:55.480
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I could talk about that all night. A good

281
00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:58.960
<v Speaker 5>deal of what passes from modern news coverage is avoidance

282
00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:06.120
<v Speaker 5>because people don't want to aliena watchers, readers, listeners, sponsors,

283
00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:09.559
<v Speaker 5>instead of the old reporting the news without fear or favor,

284
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:12.559
<v Speaker 5>because you need to get people information that they need

285
00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:12.840
<v Speaker 5>to have.

286
00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:17.919
<v Speaker 2>I just wish we had a higher news literacy quotion

287
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:21.399
<v Speaker 2>where people understood what news was supposed to be what

288
00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:26.360
<v Speaker 2>the rules is governing broadcast news versus cable news, And

289
00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:29.759
<v Speaker 2>I say cable news and quotations, because if you're watching

290
00:15:29.799 --> 00:15:32.759
<v Speaker 2>it on cable innate news, it's opinion and editorial and

291
00:15:32.919 --> 00:15:36.600
<v Speaker 2>understanding the difference between the two and recognizing that if

292
00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:42.759
<v Speaker 2>you're watching it on CNN, MSNBC, Fox News with varying

293
00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:46.440
<v Speaker 2>levels of credibility, it's no different than Comedy Central in

294
00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:49.360
<v Speaker 2>the Daily Show, because they're just giving you their take

295
00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:54.240
<v Speaker 2>on the news, and they're highly filtering that's one word

296
00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:56.960
<v Speaker 2>I'll put it, and curating.

297
00:15:56.919 --> 00:15:59.399
<v Speaker 5>What is going to be covered. I don't think they're

298
00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:02.600
<v Speaker 5>all equal. Your point's still well taken. I'm not interested

299
00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:05.279
<v Speaker 5>in liberal or conservative news. I want news and facts.

300
00:16:05.320 --> 00:16:09.159
<v Speaker 5>I want the powerful held accountable. I want information that's

301
00:16:09.559 --> 00:16:12.720
<v Speaker 5>I want to know what's true and what's false, and

302
00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:16.080
<v Speaker 5>we're not getting that. We are definitely siloed so that

303
00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:18.039
<v Speaker 5>if you want, you can stay in your own bubble

304
00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:20.399
<v Speaker 5>and only hear things that you want to hear. But

305
00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:22.799
<v Speaker 5>that's not really any way to function.

306
00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:26.639
<v Speaker 2>And going back to the Alan media story, this is

307
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:29.000
<v Speaker 2>not that, but it's very close to that. When you

308
00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:34.759
<v Speaker 2>have fewer legitimate outlets which are giving you targeted and

309
00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:41.120
<v Speaker 2>specific news relevant to you and where you are. Then

310
00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:45.879
<v Speaker 2>you are more easily manipulated. There's no question about it.

311
00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:49.840
<v Speaker 2>And you know, my very first newspaper job was at Gannette,

312
00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:53.279
<v Speaker 2>which was known for buying up little papers and sort

313
00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:58.480
<v Speaker 2>of McDonaldizing them. I can say this categorically. Media consolidation

314
00:16:58.840 --> 00:17:03.039
<v Speaker 2>is always, always, without exception, bad for the consumer, might

315
00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:05.839
<v Speaker 2>be good for the stockholders, not for you who just

316
00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:07.759
<v Speaker 2>need to know what's going on. I'll put it in

317
00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:11.440
<v Speaker 2>another context that I think people would more easily understand. Remember,

318
00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:14.119
<v Speaker 2>once upon a time, you would turn on just in

319
00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:17.319
<v Speaker 2>a music context, you turn on your radio and you'd

320
00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:20.319
<v Speaker 2>have a playlist of songs that people in that particular

321
00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:25.920
<v Speaker 2>area city or county wanted to hear. It's you calling

322
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:27.480
<v Speaker 2>in and I'm not going to get into payola, but

323
00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:32.720
<v Speaker 2>still that playlist was largely curated for that particular area.

324
00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:36.359
<v Speaker 2>Now you turn on the radio and you have a

325
00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:40.400
<v Speaker 2>playlist which is curated by someone probably four states away,

326
00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:43.759
<v Speaker 2>and all the stations sound pretty much exactly the same,

327
00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:50.480
<v Speaker 2>exactly the same, playing the same music, and people don't

328
00:17:50.519 --> 00:17:52.559
<v Speaker 2>have a broad appreciation of music because they're all hearing

329
00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:54.079
<v Speaker 2>the same eighteen damn songs.

330
00:17:54.680 --> 00:17:57.039
<v Speaker 5>That's no fun and it doesn't help anybody, and you know,

331
00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:00.039
<v Speaker 5>you can translate it to all sorts of media. The

332
00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:03.319
<v Speaker 5>reason that I still to this day will enjoy watching

333
00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:06.000
<v Speaker 5>a little bit of Root sixty six, it's because all

334
00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:10.680
<v Speaker 5>the regions looked and spoke and acted differently, and now

335
00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:17.279
<v Speaker 5>almost every place looks the same, sounds the same, yeah, everything, yeah,

336
00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:22.000
<v Speaker 5>and so does nothing but harm people. When you get

337
00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:26.359
<v Speaker 5>rid of local personalities, local coverage. It's just bat all

338
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:28.200
<v Speaker 5>the way around. I can't think of a single thing

339
00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:31.279
<v Speaker 5>to recommend it, except, like I said, if you're a stockholder.

340
00:18:31.319 --> 00:18:32.640
<v Speaker 3>But there's got to be more to life than that.

341
00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:34.240
<v Speaker 5>I mean, there's got to be a point at which

342
00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:36.920
<v Speaker 5>you say, I guess I've got enough money to be

343
00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:38.920
<v Speaker 5>okay for ten lifetimes.

344
00:18:39.400 --> 00:18:41.200
<v Speaker 3>How about we just go with what we got not

345
00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:43.799
<v Speaker 3>in this capitalistic society.

346
00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:47.680
<v Speaker 5>I'm not against capitalism at all, but I think it

347
00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:50.680
<v Speaker 5>has to be regulated at the point right before it

348
00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:52.599
<v Speaker 5>starts to eat itself and kill people.

349
00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:55.079
<v Speaker 2>It's weird for me because people will complain about the

350
00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:55.759
<v Speaker 2>price of eggs.

351
00:18:55.799 --> 00:18:56.759
<v Speaker 3>Let's tie it all together.

352
00:18:57.440 --> 00:18:59.640
<v Speaker 2>Complain about the price of eggs, you complain about the

353
00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:02.720
<v Speaker 2>price of milk, You complain about how the rent is

354
00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:05.839
<v Speaker 2>too damn high, and then you don't realize, well, this

355
00:19:05.960 --> 00:19:09.119
<v Speaker 2>is what you want. This capitalism is about winners and losers.

356
00:19:09.119 --> 00:19:11.440
<v Speaker 2>It's a sum total game, you know, it's a zero

357
00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:14.799
<v Speaker 2>sum game. If someone is going to be making more money,

358
00:19:14.839 --> 00:19:16.720
<v Speaker 2>someone is going to be making less money. And if

359
00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:19.480
<v Speaker 2>you find yourself always complaining about, oh my gosh, everything

360
00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:21.880
<v Speaker 2>is so damn high, don't blame the government.

361
00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:25.079
<v Speaker 3>That's what you ask for. This is what you want.

362
00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:25.680
<v Speaker 3>You know.

363
00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:29.440
<v Speaker 5>There's no ideal ending point to the type of rapacious

364
00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:31.119
<v Speaker 5>capitalism you're describing.

365
00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:31.480
<v Speaker 3>M h.

366
00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:34.559
<v Speaker 5>I mean there's there's there's no point where you win.

367
00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:37.799
<v Speaker 5>It's like you've always got to grow no matter what,

368
00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:40.720
<v Speaker 5>and there's there's no stopping it. And that's where regulation

369
00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:41.079
<v Speaker 5>comes in.

370
00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:43.640
<v Speaker 3>Oh, you're talking like quarterly earnings meetings and things like that.

371
00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:47.200
<v Speaker 5>Uh yeah, that language that I don't really speak very well.

372
00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:49.519
<v Speaker 5>I get that stuff in the mail from my four

373
00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:52.160
<v Speaker 5>oh one k's and it just goes right into the shredder.

374
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:54.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's later with mo Kelly. Let's lighten it up

375
00:19:54.799 --> 00:19:57.200
<v Speaker 2>a bit when we come back. Let's talk about erection. Honey,

376
00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:00.319
<v Speaker 2>can if I AM since forty. Yes, erection honey, thank you?

377
00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:02.319
<v Speaker 2>How did say erection comma honey?

378
00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:08.000
<v Speaker 3>Oh? Erection honey? Back to you, Darling only on Late

379
00:20:08.039 --> 00:20:08.640
<v Speaker 3>with bo Kelly?

380
00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:10.680
<v Speaker 2>Can they make a turn like that talking about the

381
00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:11.960
<v Speaker 2>seriousness of capitalism?

382
00:20:12.119 --> 00:20:16.799
<v Speaker 1>And then yeah, you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly

383
00:20:16.920 --> 00:20:19.680
<v Speaker 1>on demand from KFI AM six forty.

384
00:20:20.640 --> 00:20:24.640
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes I'm kind of glad I'm not on the club

385
00:20:24.680 --> 00:20:28.440
<v Speaker 2>scene anymore. In fact, many times I'm really glad I'm

386
00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:30.200
<v Speaker 2>not on the club scene anymore. The stuff you have

387
00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:33.759
<v Speaker 2>to watch out for, man, it's really changed in over

388
00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:37.960
<v Speaker 2>the years or so. There's a warning out there is

389
00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:41.599
<v Speaker 2>a deadly new drug out there which is being sold

390
00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:46.599
<v Speaker 2>as a quote unquote natural afrodisiac, except this lace with viagra.

391
00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:52.160
<v Speaker 2>It's called erection honey. That's the name, Not erection comma honey,

392
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:58.400
<v Speaker 2>just erection honey. Packets of honey laced packets of honey

393
00:20:58.519 --> 00:21:03.519
<v Speaker 2>comma lace with erectile function drugs such as viagra are

394
00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:07.319
<v Speaker 2>being sold as an all natural afrodisiac, and they're being

395
00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:10.279
<v Speaker 2>seized in record quantities right now in France. But the

396
00:21:10.359 --> 00:21:15.079
<v Speaker 2>trend will probably spread here. No pun intended authorities have

397
00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:19.359
<v Speaker 2>warned customers they are taking serious risks by consuming the

398
00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:24.680
<v Speaker 2>honey due to its potentially deadly effects. French customs officials

399
00:21:24.759 --> 00:21:28.839
<v Speaker 2>said last Monday that a record thirty one thousand tons

400
00:21:28.920 --> 00:21:34.720
<v Speaker 2>of the illegally imported honey but tainted with drugs like viagra,

401
00:21:34.920 --> 00:21:38.359
<v Speaker 2>was seized in the country last year thirty one thousand tons.

402
00:21:39.079 --> 00:21:42.720
<v Speaker 2>The packets of honey and gels sold as shots or

403
00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:48.440
<v Speaker 2>sticks with names like oh Gosh, they did not names

404
00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:54.799
<v Speaker 2>like black Horse and biomacs are often sold surreptitiously in

405
00:21:54.880 --> 00:21:59.440
<v Speaker 2>clubs and other nightlife spots. Use of the afro desiac

406
00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:05.519
<v Speaker 2>honey has increased in recent years, but very very dangerous.

407
00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:11.119
<v Speaker 2>They often complain contained chemical products like sidental phil and tadalaphil,

408
00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:15.400
<v Speaker 2>the main substances in viagra and sialis, and in twenty

409
00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:18.680
<v Speaker 2>twenty one, health authorities warned of several cases where the

410
00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:23.839
<v Speaker 2>honey had caused convulsions, cerebral edemas, and acute kidney injuries

411
00:22:24.440 --> 00:22:29.400
<v Speaker 2>and erections lasting long than four hours. France's customs office

412
00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:32.519
<v Speaker 2>that the honey was seened was mainly entering by ship

413
00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:38.079
<v Speaker 2>from countries including Malaysia, Turkey, Tunisia and Thailand. The biggest

414
00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:41.319
<v Speaker 2>fine was made in the Mediterranean port city of Marseille,

415
00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:47.240
<v Speaker 2>some thirteen thousand, thirteen tons worth worth about eight hundred

416
00:22:47.240 --> 00:22:51.599
<v Speaker 2>and sixty in around eight hundred and sixty thousand sticks

417
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:53.599
<v Speaker 2>in a shipment from Malaysia.

418
00:22:53.880 --> 00:22:56.039
<v Speaker 3>That's a lot of a lot of sticks, A lot

419
00:22:56.079 --> 00:22:56.440
<v Speaker 3>of sticks.

420
00:22:56.480 --> 00:23:03.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, is a risk. I'm trying to be ready

421
00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:07.599
<v Speaker 2>this time. You were only ten seconds late. You might

422
00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:15.839
<v Speaker 2>see some erection. Honey timings everything erection, come honey. If

423
00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:20.160
<v Speaker 2>you take too much, you risk epileptic seizures, hemorrhages, or

424
00:23:20.359 --> 00:23:28.880
<v Speaker 2>kidney problems, hemorrhages. Yeah, it didn't say it could have

425
00:23:28.880 --> 00:23:29.880
<v Speaker 2>been brain hemorrhages.

426
00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:30.359
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

427
00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:35.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't know them at any hemorrhage is probably bad.

428
00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:39.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, this is because the dose isn't regulated, like you

429
00:23:39.559 --> 00:23:42.480
<v Speaker 5>just take a pill normally. But you could just like say,

430
00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:45.079
<v Speaker 5>let's cover this whole bagel with the honey.

431
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:48.359
<v Speaker 2>Probably because as far as I know, they're ingesting it.

432
00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:53.079
<v Speaker 3>They're not swabbing it and lathering it all. Nevermind.

433
00:23:53.880 --> 00:23:57.160
<v Speaker 2>In France men men usually can be treated for EDI

434
00:23:57.279 --> 00:23:59.079
<v Speaker 2>for a variety of options. But I guess this is

435
00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:02.279
<v Speaker 2>a sexual way to go about it, where you just

436
00:24:02.680 --> 00:24:07.559
<v Speaker 2>ingest the honey, and you're ready to go, put in

437
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:08.079
<v Speaker 2>a little tea.

438
00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:10.680
<v Speaker 3>Huh yeah, yeah yeah.

439
00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:12.759
<v Speaker 2>Younger people are going for this in a big way,

440
00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:17.279
<v Speaker 2>according to trends, thinking they can match the performances to

441
00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:19.799
<v Speaker 2>be found on porn sites because we all know porn

442
00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:20.240
<v Speaker 2>is real.

443
00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:23.920
<v Speaker 3>That's so wild and sad.

444
00:24:24.880 --> 00:24:27.720
<v Speaker 2>You know what, when I was in my clubbing days,

445
00:24:27.839 --> 00:24:31.359
<v Speaker 2>there were always pills around. Yeah, you could find coke.

446
00:24:32.079 --> 00:24:35.400
<v Speaker 2>Ecstasy was real big backs then, yeah, but.

447
00:24:35.480 --> 00:24:36.880
<v Speaker 3>I never had any desire.

448
00:24:36.960 --> 00:24:38.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, yeah, I could have gotten I could have

449
00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:41.240
<v Speaker 2>gotten there for free, but I saw too many people

450
00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:46.440
<v Speaker 2>lose their jobs, lose their lives, lose their livelihoods, falling

451
00:24:46.480 --> 00:24:47.160
<v Speaker 2>prey to drugs.

452
00:24:47.160 --> 00:24:51.440
<v Speaker 3>So I never had any desire to specifically viagra. Well,

453
00:24:51.559 --> 00:24:53.240
<v Speaker 3>for me, it's all one thing. It's drugs.

454
00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:55.160
<v Speaker 2>So if you're trying, if someone is giving you some

455
00:24:55.200 --> 00:24:59.079
<v Speaker 2>sort of mind altering or body altering substance in a

456
00:24:59.160 --> 00:25:03.720
<v Speaker 2>club situation, for me, that's an absolute hell.

457
00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:06.039
<v Speaker 5>No, at least put on a white lab coat. Okay,

458
00:25:06.119 --> 00:25:08.720
<v Speaker 5>don't just like give me a pill from some dude.

459
00:25:09.039 --> 00:25:14.720
<v Speaker 2>It's not even a pill, it's at yeah, you squeeze

460
00:25:14.720 --> 00:25:17.119
<v Speaker 2>it in and yet like not to like victim shame.

461
00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:19.960
<v Speaker 4>But it's like you're really just gonna buy someone something

462
00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:21.680
<v Speaker 4>from someone in a dark club like that.

463
00:25:21.720 --> 00:25:24.960
<v Speaker 3>But then again, people, yeah, people do.

464
00:25:25.279 --> 00:25:28.440
<v Speaker 2>They buy that stuff from people they don't know, with

465
00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:33.599
<v Speaker 2>effects which are not quite known. And obviously the dosages

466
00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:37.759
<v Speaker 2>are not regulated. But wait, I just thought about this.

467
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:40.240
<v Speaker 2>I just thought about this. Is this so that people

468
00:25:40.240 --> 00:25:43.039
<v Speaker 2>are having sex in the clubs? Because if it's an

469
00:25:43.119 --> 00:25:47.440
<v Speaker 2>afrodisiac and it's for so are.

470
00:25:47.279 --> 00:25:50.799
<v Speaker 3>They getting it in on the dance floor? Look, all

471
00:25:50.799 --> 00:25:54.599
<v Speaker 3>I can say is how can I say this? Say

472
00:25:54.599 --> 00:25:55.200
<v Speaker 3>it carefully?

473
00:25:55.279 --> 00:26:02.640
<v Speaker 2>Okay, in my wayward days, many many years ago, there

474
00:26:02.680 --> 00:26:06.079
<v Speaker 2>were some times in some places I'm not exactly proud of.

475
00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:12.359
<v Speaker 2>But there is more than a couple club bathrooms which

476
00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:17.920
<v Speaker 2>might have memory of me. That's okay. Don't take a

477
00:26:17.960 --> 00:26:20.319
<v Speaker 2>black light into those rooms. Well, hopefully they'd clean them

478
00:26:20.319 --> 00:26:23.519
<v Speaker 2>in the past thirty five years. Maybe you bleach, you know,

479
00:26:23.559 --> 00:26:26.640
<v Speaker 2>in the nineteen nineties at some point sand blasted and

480
00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:29.200
<v Speaker 2>at the speed that the clubs shut down, it's probably

481
00:26:29.200 --> 00:26:31.160
<v Speaker 2>not even there. Yeah, most of the clubs I went

482
00:26:31.160 --> 00:26:32.599
<v Speaker 2>to in the nineties, I'm sure they're gone.

483
00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:33.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they're gone.

484
00:26:34.240 --> 00:26:38.400
<v Speaker 2>Red Onion, mister j all the blacks, all of them. Magantine, Well,

485
00:26:38.519 --> 00:26:39.720
<v Speaker 2>Florntine Guards is still there.

486
00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:40.359
<v Speaker 1>It is.

487
00:26:40.519 --> 00:26:43.559
<v Speaker 3>It's Hollywood Boulevard absolutely is Wow.

488
00:26:43.720 --> 00:26:46.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I've never done anything in Florentine Gardens.

489
00:26:46.440 --> 00:26:47.279
<v Speaker 3>I love that nature.

490
00:26:47.359 --> 00:26:49.240
<v Speaker 4>I honestly thought that was just like a bare building

491
00:26:49.279 --> 00:26:51.200
<v Speaker 4>until I actually had drop someone off there and it

492
00:26:51.319 --> 00:26:53.319
<v Speaker 4>was packed on a Saturday night.

493
00:26:53.680 --> 00:26:56.200
<v Speaker 2>This is the thing I can't understand about the Hollywood

494
00:26:56.200 --> 00:26:57.039
<v Speaker 2>Florentine Gardens.

495
00:26:57.279 --> 00:26:58.440
<v Speaker 3>It's just the biggest dance floor.

496
00:26:58.480 --> 00:27:00.079
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what it is now, but when I

497
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:03.680
<v Speaker 2>went there, it was just a big warehouse dance floor

498
00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:05.599
<v Speaker 2>and bars on the opposite end.

499
00:27:05.640 --> 00:27:08.720
<v Speaker 4>And it's the only one that I've been not been inside,

500
00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:10.839
<v Speaker 4>but when dropping someone off or picking them up where

501
00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:12.880
<v Speaker 4>it doesn't look appealing on the outset, it looks like

502
00:27:12.920 --> 00:27:14.799
<v Speaker 4>just this old rundown building.

503
00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:17.000
<v Speaker 5>It's always looked like that. Back of the day, it

504
00:27:17.119 --> 00:27:19.599
<v Speaker 5>just had lights on it. I think they had bright

505
00:27:19.720 --> 00:27:22.279
<v Speaker 5>lights on it, different colors up in the pillars.

506
00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:26.279
<v Speaker 2>But it had a great promotional campaign with power Onintal

507
00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:28.880
<v Speaker 2>six back in the day. It was like everything that

508
00:27:28.920 --> 00:27:31.160
<v Speaker 2>power onetal six was doing, it was they were doing

509
00:27:31.200 --> 00:27:33.680
<v Speaker 2>it at Hollywood Florentine Gardens's back when.

510
00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:36.559
<v Speaker 5>They were like a dance station, like dance Debbie Dab

511
00:27:36.599 --> 00:27:38.079
<v Speaker 5>that kind of stuff. All right, So this is kind

512
00:27:38.079 --> 00:27:40.119
<v Speaker 5>of a naive question, but wouldn't taking one of those

513
00:27:40.119 --> 00:27:46.440
<v Speaker 5>honey packets make dancing a little unwieldy and awkward unless it? Yeah,

514
00:27:46.559 --> 00:27:49.440
<v Speaker 5>I mean, look, if you're if you're taking the erection packet,

515
00:27:49.720 --> 00:27:52.559
<v Speaker 5>you obviously want whoever it is you're dancing with to

516
00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:54.440
<v Speaker 5>know what you're working with, to know what time it is,

517
00:27:54.759 --> 00:27:58.839
<v Speaker 5>and to signal that it's time to as Mo would say,

518
00:27:58.880 --> 00:28:01.279
<v Speaker 5>head to the bathroom. Need to know what time it is,

519
00:28:01.319 --> 00:28:04.880
<v Speaker 5>like a sun dial something like that. As you're dancing, figure,

520
00:28:04.880 --> 00:28:08.960
<v Speaker 5>you know there's a song, there's actual song, too close

521
00:28:09.400 --> 00:28:12.680
<v Speaker 5>the song you know by next something fill my nature

522
00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:17.480
<v Speaker 5>rising And it's surprising, girl, you know what time it is?

523
00:28:17.480 --> 00:28:19.720
<v Speaker 2>Something doesn't sing much? But I get, you get. But

524
00:28:20.200 --> 00:28:23.599
<v Speaker 2>I wonder do twenty two year olds even dance anymore?

525
00:28:24.079 --> 00:28:24.920
<v Speaker 3>Like together?

526
00:28:25.839 --> 00:28:30.319
<v Speaker 5>They don't slow dance, they do groove. They experience that

527
00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:35.079
<v Speaker 5>thing that we used to have called modesty. Oh hells okay,

528
00:28:35.720 --> 00:28:40.319
<v Speaker 5>modesty No, that went out in like nineteen eighty seven. Ish.

529
00:28:40.440 --> 00:28:42.640
<v Speaker 3>I feel like, yeah, all I see is couples.

530
00:28:42.680 --> 00:28:44.839
<v Speaker 4>You can tell when it's a couple, or it's a

531
00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:47.279
<v Speaker 4>group of guys group of girls, still like it was

532
00:28:47.319 --> 00:28:50.240
<v Speaker 4>back in the day. I don't know what they're doing inside,

533
00:28:50.319 --> 00:28:52.279
<v Speaker 4>but it's like, you know, they still go in groups.

534
00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:54.880
<v Speaker 2>So I can only imagine what these dating apps, the

535
00:28:54.880 --> 00:28:58.039
<v Speaker 2>whole swipe left and swipe right phenomenon and people just

536
00:28:58.400 --> 00:29:00.559
<v Speaker 2>from what I hear, I honestly don't know.

537
00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:02.440
<v Speaker 3>I've never been on any of these dating apps.

538
00:29:02.920 --> 00:29:07.920
<v Speaker 2>What I hear it's very easy to hook up with someone.

539
00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:14.839
<v Speaker 5>Because now every single profile is literally in bold print.

540
00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:20.200
<v Speaker 5>I'm not here for the hookup. I'm not DTF, keep

541
00:29:20.240 --> 00:29:22.559
<v Speaker 5>it in your pants, don't send me any And I'm like,

542
00:29:23.920 --> 00:29:25.559
<v Speaker 5>have all of you been scarred?

543
00:29:25.960 --> 00:29:28.559
<v Speaker 3>Poor women? What is going on in the world? That's true?

544
00:29:28.640 --> 00:29:30.359
<v Speaker 4>And then there's ones that do say like, oh, not

545
00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:32.400
<v Speaker 4>here for a long time, here for a good time.

546
00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:34.599
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, there's a couple of those, but those are

547
00:29:34.680 --> 00:29:40.559
<v Speaker 2>usually bots. Yeah, because it's broken English. Yeah, yeah, I

548
00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:45.359
<v Speaker 2>don't know how Like your son, Tuala, his world of

549
00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:47.440
<v Speaker 2>dating doesn't make sense at all.

550
00:29:47.559 --> 00:29:50.039
<v Speaker 3>No, it just makes no sense, very weird.

551
00:29:50.079 --> 00:29:52.039
<v Speaker 5>Just tell him to stay home and keep the brutalist

552
00:29:52.079 --> 00:29:56.799
<v Speaker 5>on a loop. No, no, no, it's like every other

553
00:29:56.920 --> 00:29:57.720
<v Speaker 5>day he's going to hang out.

554
00:29:57.759 --> 00:30:01.319
<v Speaker 3>He's like, so after work, I'm gonna go hang on.

555
00:30:01.359 --> 00:30:03.480
<v Speaker 5>My friends are gonna go to this bar or go

556
00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:06.759
<v Speaker 5>to this spot, and was just gonna hang We're just

557
00:30:06.759 --> 00:30:07.519
<v Speaker 5>gonna hang.

558
00:30:08.160 --> 00:30:09.519
<v Speaker 2>We kind of did that back and then when we

559
00:30:09.599 --> 00:30:11.599
<v Speaker 2>went to the Red Onion, we didn't have any money,

560
00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:12.920
<v Speaker 2>so all could do is hang out.

561
00:30:12.920 --> 00:30:14.319
<v Speaker 3>But we actually danced back then.

562
00:30:14.480 --> 00:30:17.440
<v Speaker 2>That's how That's how we had the opportunity to meet women,

563
00:30:17.519 --> 00:30:19.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, because if you could dance, and you could,

564
00:30:19.279 --> 00:30:21.559
<v Speaker 2>you know, if you had moves, then they knew you

565
00:30:21.599 --> 00:30:22.160
<v Speaker 2>had moves.

566
00:30:23.359 --> 00:30:28.200
<v Speaker 3>They knew you had horizontal moves. Yes, exactly. That wasn't

567
00:30:28.200 --> 00:30:33.039
<v Speaker 3>a joke. That was dead serious. I'm being serious. But okay,

568
00:30:33.079 --> 00:30:36.799
<v Speaker 3>we got.

569
00:30:35.960 --> 00:30:39.119
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on Demand.

570
00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:46.039
<v Speaker 2>Last segment, we were having a discussion about dating. I'm

571
00:30:46.079 --> 00:30:49.319
<v Speaker 2>just you know, really narrowing it down dating and how

572
00:30:49.359 --> 00:30:53.440
<v Speaker 2>it's changed over the past thirty years or so. I

573
00:30:53.480 --> 00:31:00.480
<v Speaker 2>don't know if courting is still a thing to guys

574
00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:05.519
<v Speaker 2>actually try to court a woman, try to date a woman.

575
00:31:05.640 --> 00:31:08.119
<v Speaker 2>I mean, what's the whole mating process these days?

576
00:31:09.279 --> 00:31:09.839
<v Speaker 3>Just doesn't make it.

577
00:31:09.880 --> 00:31:15.759
<v Speaker 4>These sense from what From what I see, it's basically, yeah,

578
00:31:15.759 --> 00:31:17.599
<v Speaker 4>there's always going to be both sides are going to

579
00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:21.079
<v Speaker 4>want to hook up, but a lot, a lot less

580
00:31:21.119 --> 00:31:24.680
<v Speaker 4>people want to have kids because everything's just so expensive now.

581
00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:27.119
<v Speaker 4>But even if you get into a long term relationship,

582
00:31:27.480 --> 00:31:30.680
<v Speaker 4>half the time, like I've seen on the profiles, oh

583
00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:32.920
<v Speaker 4>don't want kids, Like they'll know right then and there. So,

584
00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:35.440
<v Speaker 4>you know, I think it's just it's you know, it's

585
00:31:35.480 --> 00:31:36.960
<v Speaker 4>not like back in the days when people would have

586
00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:39.079
<v Speaker 4>seven kids and one family and they'd be able to

587
00:31:39.119 --> 00:31:40.200
<v Speaker 4>survive on one paycheck.

588
00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that ain't never happened, not gonna happen every yea. Yeah,

589
00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:47.200
<v Speaker 2>that time is not coming back to America. I love

590
00:31:47.240 --> 00:31:50.279
<v Speaker 2>it how people say, do you remember when, Yes, for

591
00:31:50.359 --> 00:31:53.200
<v Speaker 2>the most part I do. When I was growing up,

592
00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:57.000
<v Speaker 2>you could buy a house for like thirty thousand dollars,

593
00:31:57.039 --> 00:32:00.279
<v Speaker 2>you could buy a car for two three thousand dollars.

594
00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:04.519
<v Speaker 2>You could work in one place for forty years just

595
00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:07.359
<v Speaker 2>one income, and that would sustain the family.

596
00:32:08.079 --> 00:32:12.200
<v Speaker 3>Were common. That time is never coming back, And.

597
00:32:12.079 --> 00:32:14.240
<v Speaker 2>That's why I get so angry at people talking about, well,

598
00:32:14.279 --> 00:32:16.759
<v Speaker 2>let's go back to you know, you know, when when

599
00:32:16.799 --> 00:32:19.440
<v Speaker 2>America was great however you want to phrase it, those

600
00:32:19.559 --> 00:32:23.960
<v Speaker 2>times are not coming back for a number of reasons.

601
00:32:24.599 --> 00:32:30.279
<v Speaker 2>My parents' lifestyle, two people who had incomes as teachers

602
00:32:31.160 --> 00:32:34.400
<v Speaker 2>and be able to send my sister and me to college,

603
00:32:34.799 --> 00:32:36.799
<v Speaker 2>that's just not financially possible.

604
00:32:36.920 --> 00:32:39.519
<v Speaker 5>Eighty more Well, part of the reason for that is

605
00:32:39.559 --> 00:32:41.759
<v Speaker 5>that a lot of the same people who think that

606
00:32:41.799 --> 00:32:44.400
<v Speaker 5>we should go back to like a nineteen fifties leave

607
00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:47.480
<v Speaker 5>it to Beaver type of America also do not want

608
00:32:47.559 --> 00:32:50.440
<v Speaker 5>the top ninety percent tax rate that made that possible.

609
00:32:51.599 --> 00:32:54.279
<v Speaker 3>You might be right, You might be right. I mean,

610
00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:56.720
<v Speaker 3>you can't eat your cake and have it too. No,

611
00:32:56.799 --> 00:32:59.839
<v Speaker 3>you're speaking from history. That was a real tax bracket.

612
00:33:00.079 --> 00:33:04.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and now we talk about not getting tax Yeah,

613
00:33:04.640 --> 00:33:06.759
<v Speaker 2>I guess no one wants to give up any portion

614
00:33:06.880 --> 00:33:09.200
<v Speaker 2>of their income. But at the same time we want

615
00:33:09.240 --> 00:33:13.880
<v Speaker 2>all the same services and also the other privileges which

616
00:33:13.960 --> 00:33:15.799
<v Speaker 2>come with living in America.

617
00:33:16.039 --> 00:33:18.240
<v Speaker 3>And it doesn't work that way. The math doesn't work

618
00:33:18.240 --> 00:33:22.400
<v Speaker 3>out like that. I'm worried about the Beaver the show.

619
00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:32.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, since we're but never mind, I misunderstood you.

620
00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:34.440
<v Speaker 2>I thought you were talking about something else because we

621
00:33:34.480 --> 00:33:35.880
<v Speaker 2>were talking about.

622
00:33:36.240 --> 00:33:37.359
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to stop trying to expect.

623
00:33:37.359 --> 00:33:39.960
