If you're not tuned into mister 10 00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:26.039 mo Kelly on YouTube, you definitely need to do that 11 00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:27.600 because you will get a whole lot more. 12 00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:29.000 And the thing that I. 13 00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:31.440 Want to deep take a dive into, obviously you can 14 00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:33.759 tell by my rainbow shirt if you are following us 15 00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:35.840 on social media, and you can also see me in person. 16 00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:36.240 Right now. 17 00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:38.679 It's Pride Month and that's how we roll, and being 18 00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:41.439 a member of the Alphabet Mafia, I'm very much deep 19 00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:43.280 in it. And what I want to talk about is 20 00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:44.840 what I didn't get to talk about last week because 21 00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:46.920 we had a lot of heck going on here in 22 00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:49.359 the south Land and it's still going down. But I 23 00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:51.640 got to sit down and talk to Bruce Fallanche, which 24 00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:54.240 was actually really really incredible, and you and I Moe 25 00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:56.640 just got to talk about it briefly off air. One 26 00:00:56.640 --> 00:00:59.719 of the things you talked about specifically. So the tie 27 00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:03.320 in here is the nineteen seventy eight Christmas special from 28 00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:07.000 Star Wars Holiday Special, Holiday Special, sorry holiday spe because 29 00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:07.599 it was light day? 30 00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:11.439 Right? Is that what it is? Is it that? Don't 31 00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:13.200 give me something like that? I can't remember. 32 00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:14.920 I was like, I'm not that person with the Star 33 00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:17.400 Wars knowledge. But and so I got to talk to 34 00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:19.040 Bruce fell Lance. The reason I sat down to talk 35 00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:20.439 to him is something I want to share with you 36 00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:23.079 guys is another opportunity. And I talked about it when 37 00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:24.959 they did a country concert and now they are doing 38 00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:28.159 Dancing Queen. So this is gmcla Gay Men's Course of 39 00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:31.480 Los Angeles. Already talked about them here. An incredible group 40 00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:34.000 of individuals, is what I'm going to say, because not 41 00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:36.560 just gay men or queer men. It is if you 42 00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:38.599 are talented and you want to be a party, right, 43 00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:40.200 if you've been sang and you want to be a 44 00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:42.319 part of the community, this is the group for you. 45 00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:45.760 And Bruce Falanche also is going to be receiving a 46 00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:48.760 Special Voice Award recognition from them, but also he'll be 47 00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:51.799 performing because he was Edna Turnblad in the national tour 48 00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:53.159 of Hairspray. 49 00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:55.159 So he's kind of a triple threat. 50 00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:57.000 I mean, he will swear to you he cannot move, 51 00:01:57.560 --> 00:01:59.719 and you know he may be, you know, have a 52 00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:01.040 couple other things up his sleep. 53 00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:03.159 But he is really, really incredibly talented. 54 00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:05.680 But going back to the special, the Holiday Special from 55 00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:09.199 seventy eight, that was probably one of the more interesting conversations. 56 00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:11.919 It was an interesting conversation for me when I met 57 00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:16.680 him because it was a retrospective and discussion about his 58 00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:20.960 writing it and the process, and no one thought it 59 00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:21.400 was good. 60 00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:25.879 I right, including nobody right, very specifically him and the 61 00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:27.840 thing that's wild to me. If you are not familiar 62 00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:30.919 with Bruce Flanche, I guarantee you have seen him. He 63 00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:33.520 has very distinct glasses that he wears. He has a 64 00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:35.879 very anuel to find a picture. Yeah, like Daniel can 65 00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:37.400 probably throw it up, but he has like a page 66 00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:40.840 boy haircut to this day. And you'll actually be able 67 00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:43.120 to see my interview with him here shortly this week. 68 00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:43.879 There's Bruce Fallanche. 69 00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:46.319 If you're following us mister mo Kelly on YouTube, you 70 00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:48.520 can see him very distinct. He is very much known 71 00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:52.280 for his t shirts, which are always snarky, political something fun, 72 00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:55.280 his son, his glasses are always a very popular thing. But 73 00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:58.879 he's just one of those people that is genuinely talented 74 00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:00.000 and just really funny. 75 00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:00.560 Period. 76 00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:02.479 He wrote the Oscars Show for I don't know, like 77 00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:04.319 a fourteen year fourteen years. 78 00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:06.599 So he's been a part of twenty three telecasts, but 79 00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:08.479 he was the head writer for fourteen of the twenty 80 00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:10.280 three telecasts. 81 00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:13.479 And wild and one of the funniest people very much 82 00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:14.120 ever meet. 83 00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:15.840 Right, And that's what I'm saying, he's just naturally funny. 84 00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:17.400 In fact, I don't want to steal a story that 85 00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:21.400 a friend of mine shared with me, who is a daughter, 86 00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:24.479 is the daughter of a very very famous actress and 87 00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:28.759 comedian and a singer. She actually got her period the 88 00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:31.080 day that Bruce Falance and a bunch of other comedians 89 00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:33.919 were hanging out at their house. So even just that 90 00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:36.919 he was so cool, and she's she when I told 91 00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:38.199 her that I was going to be talking to him, 92 00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:39.479 She's like, oh my gosh, you have to ask him 93 00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:40.960 about me getting my period. 94 00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:43.039 I'm like, that's really good. 95 00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:46.879 That's a very specific, very specific and it worked out 96 00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:48.639 beautifully and it was a very good memory that he 97 00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:51.479 had of it as well. So anyway, gay Men's Course 98 00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:55.240 Los Angeles is a huge opportunity. They had the AMP program, 99 00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:58.400 which is their outreach program that they specifically bring music 100 00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:01.199 programs to schools around on the Southland and beyond. 101 00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:03.520 They also will be having their gala. 102 00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:07.400 So this weekend Saturday at seven o'clock is the concert. 103 00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:08.879 In eight thirty is the gallup if you would like 104 00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:10.439 to attend, And they also have a matinee at three 105 00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:12.759 thirty on Sunday. I will be in some way shape 106 00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:15.120 or form a part of all of those things. And 107 00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:17.879 again you'll be able to see in conversation with Nick 108 00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:20.079 on YouTube here soon. 109 00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:21.319 And I as soon as I get it up, I 110 00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:22.040 will pass. 111 00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:24.000 Along the details to Mow and the crew and they 112 00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:25.720 can pass along the details where you can actually see 113 00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:26.399 me talking to Bruce. 114 00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:28.560 Do you know if the Gay Men's Course of Los 115 00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:31.680 Angeles whether they still perform down. 116 00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:37.439 Christmas Eve? Yes, at the. 117 00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:38.839 They still do the mission or whatever, not the midnight mission, 118 00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:41.959 but they do a different organization in downtown for Christmas. 119 00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:45.279 Yes, it's on like casey e t. I can't remember it. 120 00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:46.879 Not at the Dorothy Channeler Pavilion. 121 00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:49.319 Correct, and so it's funny this is at the Sabaon 122 00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:51.759 Theater in Beverly Hills. But yes, they do still do 123 00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:54.439 that holiday show at the Dorothy Channel Pavilion. In fact, 124 00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:56.240 which is interesting I found out in the most recent 125 00:04:56.279 --> 00:04:59.040 time talking to a lot of the members, including Doc 126 00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:04.000 ej who is the music director and the conductory. Their 127 00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:06.439 season starts with their holiday show, which is very interesting. 128 00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:08.120 A lot of times you'll start something else, you'll end 129 00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:10.399 with the holiday show. They actually end with their spring 130 00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:12.879 show and their gala which is coming up. But the 131 00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:15.519 thing that we've talked about here before with them specifically, 132 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:19.439 they want talent. It doesn't matter how you identify. And 133 00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:20.959 I think that's the biggest thing that I'm trying to 134 00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:24.319 hit home here is that it doesn't matter. This is 135 00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:27.399 a month about being prideful about ourselves and where we're 136 00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:29.680 coming from. And the thing I was talking about with 137 00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:32.040 Steffan off the air is I'm a part of the 138 00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:34.800 queer community, the alphabet mafia, if you will, who happens 139 00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:37.560 to have fingers in every single other minority group. Now, 140 00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:39.959 granted I understand I'm a white man. That's what you 141 00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:42.240 see when I walk out the shore something like that. Okay, 142 00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:46.319 but when you see that, I already understand the privilege 143 00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:49.240 that comes with that. But then you start to pull 144 00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:50.839 back some of the layers and you get a better 145 00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:54.120 idea on it. I still get the white man, you know, benefits. 146 00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:55.959 But then now I'm a member of the queer community, 147 00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:58.920 which is another exciting thing. I just posted on social 148 00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:01.959 media for this week with Nick and Nick Poliochini. We're 149 00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:06.800 coming up on the tenth anniversary of the federal recognition 150 00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:10.439 of gay marriage. So and that happened on June twenty sixth, 151 00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:13.000 which was a Friday of the year that I got married. 152 00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:15.680 So I'm also coming up on my tenth wedding anniversary, 153 00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:17.839 which is July fourth.

They acknowledge these communities, 200 00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:14.519 but against the backdrop of what's happening in La right 201 00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:17.839 now with the Ice Rays, they've said nothing. 202 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:19.879 Oh, I've got thoughts, don't you worry? All right? 203 00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:22.160 On the other way, it's later with Mo Kelly. Nick 204 00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:24.680 Poliochini joins us in the studio.

We're live on YouTube and 211 00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:06.000 the iHeartRadio app. Let's go back to Dick Pollochini. What 212 00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:08.360 else is I gave you some homework to? Yeah, do 213 00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:09.000 you want to start there? 214 00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:10.080 Let's start this. Let's start. 215 00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:11.840 I'll fill you in with the Free ninety nine and 216 00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:13.279 the last Calling, all that good stuff. 217 00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:16.639 I asked you before the break your thoughts about the 218 00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:20.039 Dodgers handling of this moment. You are a doctor fan, 219 00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:22.279 I'm a doctor fan. We've more we've been to more 220 00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:23.039 than a few. 221 00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:25.480 Dodger games now, we've been to a couple together. So 222 00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:30.600 that's specifically and the thing that not to pull back 223 00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:32.120 the curtain of what we do off air here. But 224 00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:36.840 I won a Golden Mic and a regional and national 225 00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:41.279 Edward R. Murro Awards specifically dealing with the last time 226 00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:43.799 something like this happened in twenty twenty three with the 227 00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:48.480 Dodgers not doing something correctly and really alienating a very 228 00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:54.000 large portion of the community, involving you know Uh, the 229 00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:57.639 Sisters Perpetual Indulgence, which were featured on our special that 230 00:09:57.679 --> 00:10:02.600 we had, and also Bearonce Knowles, who is a very 231 00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:05.080 well known drag queen and a member of the Hispanic community, 232 00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:08.720 who was there on the Day of Pride in that year, 233 00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:12.720 and it was the Sisters who are huge. Some people 234 00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:15.279 may view them negatively, but they are a huge volunteer 235 00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:18.679 organization that does a lot raising money and funds and 236 00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:22.080 everything for people period, not just for the queer community 237 00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:24.840 or for the Alphabet Mafia and LGBTQIA plus however you 238 00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:26.919 want to look at it. They just do a lot 239 00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:28.879 for the communities that are part of and they're a 240 00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:32.279 huge part of Southern California. And so for me, it's 241 00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:35.080 really hard because I also have a huge background with 242 00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:37.000 Disney and I literally you can check out this week 243 00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:39.200 I'm a nick er nick Polio Channa on Instagram. You 244 00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:40.879 have pictures of my husband Brian and I that were 245 00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:42.840 there last night. We'll be back at Disneyland and even 246 00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:45.559 talking about that here briefly, but Jesneyland after Dark Pride 247 00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:49.039 Nights were happening last night and tomorrow night. And another 248 00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:54.080 big major company who again is doing certain things and 249 00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:55.840 kind of putting their money where their mouth is, but 250 00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:59.039 also not and I think that's what's even harder because 251 00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:01.759 for us here in southern California, especially those that were 252 00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:05.159 born and raised, Dodgers are a lifestyle. It's not just 253 00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:07.159 a sports yes, and I think that yes, it's the 254 00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:08.639 same thing if you want to look at the Raiders 255 00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:11.679 for football, Raiders are a lifestyle that is something that 256 00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:14.240 people they gravitate toward. And so I think that's the 257 00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:18.600 hardest part is Dodgers can put a Hispanic Heritage Night 258 00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:22.799 out El Salvadoran Heritage Night out, Filipino Heritage nights. 259 00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:24.200 They do every single one. 260 00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:27.240 And the reason that you have these is because you 261 00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:28.759 want to get butts in the seats at the stadium, 262 00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:30.240 especially when you have home games, and you have a 263 00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:33.519 lot of home games within baseball, but also you want 264 00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:36.919 to find a way to reach out to the communities, 265 00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:40.159 the large communities who support you. Granted, it's a money grab, 266 00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:43.360 and that's why I was referencing the Rainbow Pride or 267 00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:45.960 Rainbow or Lavender money grab that happens every June. 268 00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:47.519 But that's it. 269 00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:51.519 It's so frustrating to not have those opportunities to really 270 00:11:51.559 --> 00:11:56.080 be able to feel comfortable with somebody that you support, 271 00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:59.759 not just with your hard earned cash, but also with 272 00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:01.799 you know, how you dress, what you're doing like And 273 00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:05.399 because you have to remember Dodgers Disney, they get really 274 00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:07.759 good licensing deals, so they're getting a lot of money 275 00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:09.399 on the back end. But I don't know about you, 276 00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:11.039 but I like a lot of stuff from Etsy. I 277 00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:13.360 like to make my own things right. So again, I'm 278 00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:15.440 going to that lifestyle of the Dodgers. And I think 279 00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:19.480 there is such an incredible group of people within the 280 00:12:19.559 --> 00:12:23.519 organization that really do back these communities that are there. 281 00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:25.240 And then there's a lot of people who just really 282 00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:28.320 get to sit on their beautiful home in the Hollywood 283 00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:30.559 Hills and not have to think about it. So I 284 00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:32.639 think that's the hardest thing for me is to have 285 00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:35.200 an organization that we put so much time, energy and 286 00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:37.399 effort in, as well as a lot of money, and 287 00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:39.559 then not to see it back. And I think that's again, 288 00:12:40.279 --> 00:12:42.679 be it back in twenty twenty three when the Dodgers 289 00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:45.799 removed some of the queer community from being able to 290 00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:49.080 receive an award, and then also now we have so 291 00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:51.360 much going on here to the point and I say 292 00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:55.360 this without being out joking. When I went to Priday 293 00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:59.200 Night on Friday the thirteenth at Dodgers Stadium, I was 294 00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:02.559 honestly looking everywhere for Ice to show up, because it 295 00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:05.559 would be the perfect opportunity. When we talk about in ducks, 296 00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:09.399 absolutely sitting ducks, and I thought, if there was any 297 00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:13.399 way for this to go south, we've already seen it 298 00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:15.840 go south. So I literally and I think that's something 299 00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:17.799 that you know, Moe. You and I have talked about 300 00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:20.679 being our backgrounds, but when you walk into a place, 301 00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:23.159 you always know where the exits are right, and this 302 00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:26.440 was genuinely one of those times where I was thankful 303 00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:28.320 that I knew where every exit was at Dodger Stadium. 304 00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:31.039 Even though nothing happened, nothing transpired, it was still that 305 00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:33.840 amount of tension and anxiety and stress when I want 306 00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:36.159 to go and hang out with friends and family and 307 00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:39.519 enjoy Dodgers in America's pastime a baseball, but having to 308 00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:41.840 go in there and think, wow, this is literally just 309 00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:42.960 sitting ducks. 310 00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:44.519 In Dodger Stadium in Shavez Ravine. 311 00:13:44.799 --> 00:13:46.879 There's you know, a few ways in and out, but 312 00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:49.399 they could easily just do an around up like without 313 00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:50.080 a question. 314 00:13:49.879 --> 00:13:52.960 Then you're my friend, and we have these conversations on 315 00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:55.559 and off the air, and maybe I'm out over my 316 00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:56.679 skis as they say. 317 00:13:56.759 --> 00:13:59.679 Okay, have I, in your estimation. 318 00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:06.039 Over valued or exaggerated the responsibility of the organization to 319 00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:07.679 have something to say at this moment. 320 00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:10.440 No, absolutely, this is the moment that you need to 321 00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:13.159 speak up. You need to, as as always said, put 322 00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:15.279 the money, put your money where your mouth is. But 323 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:19.039 the thing, and for this specific one, the Hispanic community 324 00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:20.399 is specifically with the Dodgers. 325 00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:21.399 It is a lifestyle. 326 00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:22.960 Again, it's you know, as silly as it sounds, I 327 00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:25.000 haven't been following the Raiders because I'm a Charger fan, 328 00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:28.799 but I would hope that Rhino trust people. That's why 329 00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:33.879 I'm okay with it. But that's my whole thing is 330 00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:37.759 if you're not leaning into the community that is supporting 331 00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:42.320 you by making your brand their lifestyle, that's huge. And 332 00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:46.279 if you're not saying something. I know it's hard to 333 00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:47.120 say what's. 334 00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:50.639 Right, see but but you don't have to say what right, 335 00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:53.200 right right, but it's correct. 336 00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:54.279 And I think that's the biggest thing. 337 00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:57.360 Having your lips sealed is not a benefit, in my 338 00:14:57.440 --> 00:15:00.000 observation or experience, and being able to be out there. 339 00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:03.080 That doesn't mean but this is also that weird world 340 00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:04.720 that we're in right now because everybody talks about the 341 00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:07.320 right side of history and it's like, all right, y'all, 342 00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:10.679 two strikes down right now, we're like almost strike, you're out. 343 00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:12.000 But how does that play out? 344 00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:15.039 I was thinking just in terms of self preservation as 345 00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:17.639 a brand. Sure, it's what even if you do it 346 00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:20.200 just out of selfish motivation where we don't want to 347 00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:23.639 lose our fans, which most corporate entities do. If they 348 00:15:23.799 --> 00:15:27.039 said something to the effect of we understand what is 349 00:15:27.080 --> 00:15:30.240 going on in our city and our heartbreaks for all 350 00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:32.960 the families and people who are going through this very 351 00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:35.720 painful moment, You're not you're taking any side. You're at 352 00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:39.840 least acknowledging that people are hurteing, which is the. 353 00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:43.360 Least that an organization could do. 354 00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:45.320 If they would just do that, and I know people say, 355 00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:47.159 well that's not enough, you need to do more. I 356 00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:49.840 would rather they do something and acknowledge it than do 357 00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:52.759 nothing and act like we're idiots for not noticing them 358 00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:53.440 doing nothing. 359 00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:55.879 And I think that's exactly the best way to you 360 00:15:55.960 --> 00:15:58.159 phrase it. Beautiful, I mean, granted, we've been taught. We've 361 00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:00.840 been for several decades now. You and I been talking 362 00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:04.399 on the air, but you literally set up their press release. 363 00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:07.879 You eloquently stated what needed to be stated without taking 364 00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:10.200 a side, without having that, and I think that's really 365 00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:12.840 where we've been experiencing things, not just related to this 366 00:16:12.919 --> 00:16:14.600 with the Doughters, but just in general over the last 367 00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:19.080 several years, of not being supported in any way, shape 368 00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:22.840 or form, and acknowledgence, acknowledgements not being made. Just like 369 00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:25.600 you said, that's the biggest thing for me anyway, is 370 00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:28.000 just being able to stay there.
