Speaker 1: Lad with MOA before we get out of here.
Speaker 2: I want to do something a little bit new and different,
Speaker 2: just a last thought for the night, kind of just
Speaker 2: sets the whole show in perspective, and I got to say,
Speaker 2: I'm concerned for this nation right now. I'm concerned about
Speaker 2: young people right now. And I start off the show
Speaker 2: speaking to young people. I'm going to end the show
Speaker 2: right where I began. I remember when I was eighteen,
Speaker 2: I genuinely wanted to change the world. I wanted to
Speaker 2: be the change that I thought I wanted to see
Speaker 2: in the world. But someone told me long ago that
Speaker 2: I had to make a decision before I did anything.
Speaker 2: I was told to ask myself. And it wasn't something
Speaker 2: that I had to say publicly, but just ask myself.
Speaker 2: Did I want to be performing or transformative? Was I
Speaker 2: more interested in being seen on TV and her on
Speaker 2: the radio and covered in the media, or was I
Speaker 2: interested in putting in the work changing laws and with
Speaker 2: it the country.
Speaker 1: Sometime I wanted to be a lawyer, you know, changed laws.
Speaker 2: Then I got distracted in entertainment, so I had to
Speaker 2: ask myself what was the main goal, and granted ended
Speaker 2: up in radio and TV. I since learned I can
Speaker 2: do a little bit of both. But prior to that,
Speaker 2: I didn't have any platform to be a change agent.
Speaker 2: So it meant I had to put in the work silently,
Speaker 2: oftentimes quietly out of public view. It meant putting in
Speaker 2: work four years, sometimes without fanfare or appreciation. I'm not
Speaker 2: talking about my professional dreams. I'm just talking about what
Speaker 2: I wanted to see in the world. Sometimes I did
Speaker 2: so with a lot of criticism. In fact, I still
Speaker 2: do it with a lot of criticism. Right now, we
Speaker 2: live in a world that's long on celebrity and light
Speaker 2: on sweat. Maybe your wish is to improve the lives
Speaker 2: of people in the LGBTQ community. Maybe you want this
Speaker 2: country to have a greater appreciation of Christian values. Maybe
Speaker 2: you want to ensure equal pay for women. It doesn't
Speaker 2: matter what it is. It does mean you're gonna have
Speaker 2: to put in the work. You're gonna have to care
Speaker 2: more about putting in the work than posting a hashtag.
Speaker 2: Part of the reason, at least, I believe people are
Speaker 2: disenchanted with the world in which we live right now
Speaker 2: because we don't do much more than watch cable news
Speaker 2: and post on social media. Every single day we watch
Speaker 2: cable news, we get mad, and then we post about
Speaker 2: how mad we are on social media, rents and repeat,
Speaker 2: and nothing ever really changes. But the only way we
Speaker 2: can be the change we want to see is to
Speaker 2: put in the work. And then after that keep putting
Speaker 2: in the work. And then after that keep putting in
Speaker 2: the work.
Speaker 1: And then when you.
Speaker 2: Get tired you get old, like me, you teach the
Speaker 2: next generation to what put in the work. Got My
Speaker 2: final thought, something new that we've been doing on the
Speaker 2: show kind of has to do with the show and
Speaker 2: kind of has to do with life in general. And
Speaker 2: I thought about Mark Ronald when I wrote this. You'll
Speaker 2: know why in just a second. We often hear about
Speaker 2: how people are angry at Disney, can't stand there woke
Speaker 2: castings quote. If you go woke, you go broke close quote.
Speaker 1: You know the same.
Speaker 2: But the truth is Disney movies were four of the
Speaker 2: top five movies in America last year.
Speaker 1: And here's another truth.
Speaker 2: You can make the argument that Disney single handedly kept
Speaker 2: your favorite movie.
Speaker 1: Theater in business, no exaggeration.
Speaker 2: Without Disney, you can bet your favorite theater would be gone.
Speaker 1: It's just a fact.
Speaker 2: What's also a fact is that Disney's not going anywhere
Speaker 2: and creates art for the world, not just to please
Speaker 2: one single political ideology in a single country. Put another way,
Speaker 2: if you're mad, nobody cares, cry more, matter less. On
Speaker 2: the other side, I often hear I can't stand Tesla.
Speaker 2: I'd never buy a Tesla just because of that guy,
Speaker 2: Elon Musk.
Speaker 1: He's been in the news a lot lately.
Speaker 2: Or if they don't call him Elon, they'll call him Elmo,
Speaker 2: Apartheid Clyde that's my favorite, or space Karen. You get
Speaker 2: my point. Kind of funny, actually, but you get the point.
Speaker 2: Here's another point. Without Elon Musk, the EV market as
Speaker 2: we know it, now know it and pay attention very
Speaker 2: closely green energy folks. Without Elon Musk, the EV market
Speaker 2: likely does not exist. I didn't say he invented it.
Speaker 2: I'm saying facts or facts. And you know there are
Speaker 2: other EV companies out there, but Tesla is the one
Speaker 2: which kind of got that ball rolling. And same is
Speaker 2: true for privatized space as we know it. So you
Speaker 2: yelling from the rooftops that you won't ever buy a
Speaker 2: Tesla doesn't mean a damn thing. Nobody cares cry more
Speaker 2: matter less. But here's what I want to say tonight.
Speaker 2: How about we just spend our money how we want,
Speaker 2: where we want, for whatever reasons we want, and just
Speaker 2: leave it at that, because, honestly, and you've heard me
Speaker 2: say this many times, there is no such thing as
Speaker 2: cancel culture. Nobody has ever been canceled. Here's some more truths.
Speaker 2: Mel Gibson is still acting and the director of a
Speaker 2: top ten movie right now. Donald Trump is president again
Speaker 2: right now. Hell Alec Baldwin just dropped a new reality
Speaker 2: TV series trailer today and his ass shot and killed
Speaker 2: someone a few years ago. If that dude can't get canceled,
Speaker 2: there is no such thing as cancel culture. So I
Speaker 2: want to leave you with this. Just go spend your
Speaker 2: money however you want, with whomever you want. I don't
Speaker 2: care where you refuse to spend your money, and I
Speaker 2: don't think you should care where I refuse to spend
Speaker 2: my money. Nobody's getting canceled, and no one's changing anyone's
Speaker 2: minds and definitely not stealing anyone's joy. And besides, this
Speaker 2: place could use a little bit more joy. So this
Speaker 2: is what I would like you to do. Go drive
Speaker 2: your tesla or don't or don't go buy yourself a Tesla,
Speaker 2: or don't go see Captain America Brave New World like
Speaker 2: me and the Fellas are going to do next week,
Speaker 2: or don't because it really doesn't matter. Disney's not going anywhere,
Speaker 2: Donald Trump is not going anywhere. Elon Musk and Tesla,
Speaker 2: they're not going anywhere. The world is going to keep
Speaker 2: on spinning. But what I would like you to do
Speaker 2: is just exhale for once, just breathe. There's this big
Speaker 2: sporting event coming up on Sunday, El Patilo Hygante. You
Speaker 2: might be going to a party, or you might stay
Speaker 2: home and host a party, or maybe you're just going
Speaker 2: to watch it alone.
Speaker 1: I've been known to do that over the years.
Speaker 2: Whatever you plan to do to take it in, I'm
Speaker 2: assuming you're going to do it first and foremost to
Speaker 2: enjoy it. I would hope. If not, you know, you're
Speaker 2: really weird. You're you're really strange. I don't hate watch
Speaker 2: or hate listen to anything. I don't spend one minute
Speaker 2: watching or listening to entertainment for the purpose of getting
Speaker 2: myself angry. But I know a lot of people who
Speaker 2: do hate watch a lot, which is also strange. But
Speaker 2: like the song said, people are strange. So tonight, before
Speaker 2: we go, I'm just gonna leave you with some what
Speaker 2: of what I call enjoyment advice. You got two teams
Speaker 2: representing Pennsylvania and Missouri and they're squaring off for a
Speaker 2: football championship. El Patilohigante. The game will be part of
Speaker 2: sports history forever. No matter what, something great will happen,
Speaker 2: somebody will do something likely spectacular along the way, and
Speaker 2: intersperse between the great moments will be some funny and
Speaker 2: some not very funny commercials. This is my recommendation, and
Speaker 2: I think Mark Ronner would agree. Have a drink or
Speaker 2: two or maybe even eight, and enjoy all those moments
Speaker 2: in between. Try not to stroke out over hearing lift
Speaker 2: every voice and sing before the game.
Speaker 1: Because it offends your political sensibilities.
Speaker 2: And I know you can do it because you didn't
Speaker 2: stroke out last year when it was also played, or
Speaker 2: the year before that when it was also played, so
Speaker 2: I know you'll survive this year.
Speaker 1: It's not new. Don't act brand new.
Speaker 2: Don't have a conniption either because the camera happened to
Speaker 2: show President Trump or Taylor Swift. They'll both be in
Speaker 2: attended to at el patio higonte. Why because it's a
Speaker 2: TV event. Famous people show up to big events and
Speaker 2: often end up on the jumble trom or part of
Speaker 2: the event coverage. This ain't new, it happened. Don't act
Speaker 2: like it's something new. Don't be brand new. Just be
Speaker 2: like me, Just be like Mark. Sip your liquor and
Speaker 2: enjoy the show. Hug your dog or cat, enjoy your buzz. Hell,
Speaker 2: you might even get some before the night is over
Speaker 2: if you play your cards right. Nobody likes an angry
Speaker 2: ass drunk nobody, So before the night is over, make
Speaker 2: sure you enjoy the game. Lartida dicmte, Enjoy your liquor,
Speaker 2: Enjoy your special loved one who may be there with you.
Speaker 2: Because there's no reason to get worked up about stuff
Speaker 2: having nothing to do with a game in which you
Speaker 2: don't get any money, a championship ring, or any portion
Speaker 2: of the proceeds from the sale of any of the
Speaker 2: products and the commercials. You might as well just watch
Speaker 2: the game and ignore the rest, because that's what saying
Speaker 2: people do, That's what we all used to do, and
Speaker 2: that's what I am gonna do because that way I win.
Speaker 1: No mas atter the score. It's later with Mo Kelly
Speaker 1: can if I am six forty. We're live everywhere on
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app.
