WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:04.200 KM I am sixty. You're listening to Later with Moe 2 00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:07.519 Kelly on demand on the iHeartRadio app. 3 00:00:08.919 --> 00:00:11.919 MO and Tuala are off tonight and Monday, Mark Ronner 4 00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:16.760 sitting in with Tiffany Hobbes and Twala by the way, 5 00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:21.519 are They're on a cruise, which Tuala. It's a little 6 00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:23.679 bit of a stretch. I understand for Tuala because like me, 7 00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:27.480 he is deathly terrified of deep water. So I was 8 00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:29.839 hoping that we would hear from Mo tonight. I was 9 00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:32.520 hoping that we would get some maybe footage of Tuala 10 00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:36.200 vomiting over the side of the boat. But in lieu 11 00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:40.079 of that, let's just keep moving here. Moe makes interviews 12 00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:42.280 a regular feature of the show, so tonight I'm doing 13 00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:45.240 one and sue me if I'm a little more nostalgic 14 00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:49.200 driven than Mo.

Bert, 34 00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:53.000 it means the world to me that you are here tonight. 35 00:01:54.280 --> 00:02:01.920 Hello with citizens, honest with you. I'm a little emotional 36 00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:04.280 right now. I can't tell you how much it means 37 00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:07.159 to get to talk to you. I still have a 38 00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:10.759 photo that you signed for me when I was like 39 00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:15.960 seven years old at a kmart in Spokane, Washington, and 40 00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:18.599 I boggles my mind. How many of these things you 41 00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:22.199 must have done over the last half centuries, signings, conventions. 42 00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:23.560 Do you still do a lot of that stuff? 43 00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:29.439 Well, I did over seven thousand personal appearances and signed 44 00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:34.360 more than eight and a half million autographs, So that's 45 00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:35.400 a lot of autography. 46 00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:38.360 Oh my god, I can't even conceive of that. So 47 00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:42.360 they've got to have run the range from like I 48 00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:46.719 remember when I met you as a child, it was 49 00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:49.599 a winter and kind kind of a cricket situation. I 50 00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:51.199 think it was the only one there. But at the 51 00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:54.400 same time, you guys were like Beatles in the sixties. 52 00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:57.159 It had you have had to have situations where it's 53 00:02:57.159 --> 00:02:59.319 like Tom Jones panty throwing deals. 54 00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:02.759 Right, Well, I wouldn't go that far, but I would 55 00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:06.759 say that we had an enormous audience on Batman. When 56 00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:11.000 we aired on January twelfth, nineteen sixty six, there were 57 00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:14.479 more than four hundred million people that first week. In 58 00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:18.360 subsequent weeks that watch Batman, we had a fifty five share, 59 00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:21.400 meaning that of all the televisions on in North America 60 00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:26.439 that's Mexico, the US, and Canada, that's fifty five percent 61 00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:28.039 were watching Batman. 62 00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:31.919 That's incomprehensible. Now, most people don't understand that that doesn't 63 00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:36.120 exist in today's fragmented TV environment. Nobody has gotten a 64 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:39.240 fifty five share in most people's lifetimes at this point. 65 00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:43.919 You're right, and not only that, but even the Super 66 00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:47.120 Bowl doesn't get that kind of a share. So, and 67 00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:49.360 you know, the whole Batman thing, it was such a 68 00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:52.919 wonderful show. There was something for everybody. For kids, it 69 00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:55.479 was the hero worship. I mean, who wouldn't want to 70 00:03:55.520 --> 00:04:00.719 be writing in the batmobile, chasing Tenus Villain's climbing walls, right, 71 00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:02.639 who wouldn't want to do that? And yet for the 72 00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:05.879 adults it was nostalgia of the comic book. And for 73 00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:08.800 the teenagers and the college kids, that was a period 74 00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:10.840 in the sixties when hey, they didn't even want to 75 00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:14.599 watch television. They want to cruise around the Friday and 76 00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:18.360 Saturday nights, you know, the outdoor restaurants and stuff like that. 77 00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:22.240 But we pulled them in because of our campy style. 78 00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:25.040 We used to say that we put on our tights 79 00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:26.560 to put on the world. Yeah. 80 00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:29.720 I don't think people generally understand that the show means 81 00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:33.519 different things to people of different ages and at different ages. 82 00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:35.759 I of course loved it when it was in reruns, 83 00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:37.360 as I wasn't able to see it when it was 84 00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:39.959 first run. But when I was a like three, four 85 00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:42.560 or five year old kid, of course I loved it. 86 00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:45.240 But then later on as an adult, I saw just 87 00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:48.279 the brilliance of the humor. And I spend a lot 88 00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:50.639 of time trying to explain to people here just how 89 00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:54.279 brilliant the show was, how it actually saved the Batman comics, 90 00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:57.160 how it's its own hilarious thing, and all these dark, 91 00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:01.639 serious Batman movies and shows they can coexist with Batman 92 00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:04.560 sixty six. What's your perception of all that over the 93 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:07.680 years as it sort of waxed and waned and waxed again. 94 00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:10.839 Well, let me just tell you, if it wasn't for 95 00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:14.800 our Batman, I'm not sure you'd have all these superhero movies. 96 00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:15.759 That's exactly right. 97 00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:18.519 And you know, there's one thing that a lot of 98 00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:22.319 people don't know, it really kind of sophisticated, that is 99 00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:27.120 in every superhero movie and in every action movie made today, 100 00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:31.319 something that Adam and I started back in nineteen sixty six. 101 00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:33.079 And let me tell you what it is. There was 102 00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:35.920 a particular scene in a warehouse. We were looking for 103 00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:38.720 the Joker, and all of a sudden, out of the 104 00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:42.560 blue hair all these like eight different villains, you know, 105 00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:45.600 a henchman showed up and they're wan to fight with us, 106 00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:48.879 and you know, I mean it's very threatening, right, So 107 00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:51.800 I had this line to Batman, I said, got Batman, 108 00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:55.319 there's eight of them against two of us, odds in 109 00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:55.920 our favor. 110 00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:00.480 I honestly don't think that you get enough credit for 111 00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:03.360 how hilariously funny you were on the show. On what 112 00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:06.519 a really gifted comic actor you were. I think it 113 00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:08.480 was taken for granted more than it should have been. 114 00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:13.160 I mean when I see your delivery at things like Robin, 115 00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:15.480 when is a door not a door? And you say 116 00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:22.120 when it's a jar? Nobody could have done that like you. 117 00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:23.560 You know, it was a lot of fun doing it. 118 00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:26.279 But what I had just said in terms of even 119 00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:29.800 look at today's movies, all action movies, right in the 120 00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:33.279 middle of the most dangerous parts, there's always a moment 121 00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:36.120 where the two sleeds will turn to the other and 122 00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:38.959 have some comic thing where they say something funny to 123 00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:42.600 break you know, the energy, and yet didn't go back. 124 00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:45.079 So it's something that is used in all of the 125 00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:48.600 feature films today that what we ended up creating back 126 00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:49.839 in nineteen sixty six. 127 00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:52.439 I am going to go even further than that and 128 00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:55.000 suggest that there is a straight line between what you 129 00:06:55.079 --> 00:06:58.759 guys did in Batman sixty six and the Deadpool movies 130 00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:01.720 that are so popular right now. And I think you 131 00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:03.439 were ahead of your time. Have you thought about that? 132 00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:08.480 Yes, you know, and it's wonderful. Look, you know, let 133 00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:11.199 me tell you what we did with great family entertainment, 134 00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:14.319 what Warner Brothers has done with the superheroes, and Marvel 135 00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:17.160 has done they it's fabulous as well. I mean, there's 136 00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:21.240 room for everybody. People are they do love action films, 137 00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:23.680 and they love heroes, and they you know, the whole 138 00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:27.480 concept is entertainment. It's something that you want to escape. 139 00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:30.639 It's bigger than life. It's something that we all can feel, 140 00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:33.079 even in our own world, if you know what I 141 00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:33.839 mean I do. 142 00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:35.319 We're going to go to a break right now and 143 00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:37.160 we come back. We're going to talk about your pet 144 00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:40.759 food and a couple other Burt Ward Robin items. I'm 145 00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:44.240 talking to the legendary Bert Ward. It's KFI AM six forty. 146 00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:48.079 You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from 147 00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:49.800 KFI AM six forty. 148 00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:52.720 Mark Ronner in from O Kelly and I want to 149 00:07:52.759 --> 00:07:54.839 get right back to this. Every second counts. We have 150 00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:58.519 the legendary, the legendary Bert Ward from Batman on the line. Bert, 151 00:07:58.519 --> 00:07:59.160 you're still with me? 152 00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:00.720 Absolutely? 153 00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:02.360 Okay, we're going to get to your pet food in 154 00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:04.240 just a second. But before we do that, I just 155 00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:07.680 have to know when Batman was at its absolute peak, 156 00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:09.560 what was your life like. 157 00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:17.079 Busy listen. It was filming five days a week, eleven 158 00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:21.519 to twelve hours a day, and not in a costume 159 00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:26.480 that wasn't terribly comfortable, climbing walls, fighting villains, very dangerous 160 00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:28.600 filming back in those days not quite the same as 161 00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:32.080 it is today, and on weekends making appearances. It was 162 00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:34.919 like seven days a week. But I had a lot 163 00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:37.320 of fun and we made a lot of people happy, 164 00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:40.679 and we always did things in a positive way. Even 165 00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:43.519 when we made our personal appearances. You know, there would 166 00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:45.639 be some people say, oh, take off your mask. Oh no, 167 00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:50.320 When Batman, Adam West and myself were in costume, we 168 00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:53.600 were in character. We preserved it for kids, so it 169 00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:56.919 was always something that you could all the parents love 170 00:08:57.000 --> 00:08:59.279 to bring their kids. We had a great time. It 171 00:08:59.320 --> 00:09:02.039 was a fun show. I mean, this made so many 172 00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:02.799 people happy. 173 00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:06.039 It certainly made me happy. And we hear things like 174 00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:08.960 Don Adams basing his guest smart character on I think 175 00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:12.080 it was William Powell. Was there anyone's influence at all 176 00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:14.519 that we can hear in you as Robin? If you 177 00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:16.559 told us anyone who inspired. 178 00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:22.720 You, well, you know, here's the interesting thing. Growing up, 179 00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:27.039 I always wanted to be a superhero and as a 180 00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:29.720 three year old child, my mother took photos of me 181 00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:34.480 on my tricycle riding around with a towel bath towel 182 00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:37.200 held together with a clothes pin. I mean, it was 183 00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:40.159 something that I daydreamed about. So when I had the 184 00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:42.639 opportunity to do it, you know the reason I was selected. 185 00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:45.120 There was eleven hundred young actors that tried out, and 186 00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:48.519 the executive producer told me when after I was selected 187 00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:50.840 that the reason they picked me. They said, if there 188 00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:54.360 really was a robin, you know, like forgetting television. What 189 00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:57.200 if there really was a robin, they said, you, personally, 190 00:09:57.240 --> 00:09:59.320 Bert would be it. So we don't want you to 191 00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:02.240 quote act. We want you to do just two things. 192 00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:06.559 Be yourself and be enthusiastic. Well, that's pretty easy for 193 00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:08.320 me to do, and that's what I did for one 194 00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:09.559 hundred and twenty episodes. 195 00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:13.120 Well you will always be my Robin. Now, for some time, 196 00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:16.120 you've been making and selling your own specialty dog food. 197 00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:18.759 Tell me about that. What led to that? 198 00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:23.559 Okay, thirty years ago, in August of nineteen ninety four, 199 00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:26.919 my wife and I rescued a Great Dane. We found 200 00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:29.840 out that other Great Danes were being put to death 201 00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:33.360 in shelters because there was no rescue for them. And 202 00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:35.799 I said to my wife Tracy, in the first week 203 00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:37.960 of August nineteen ninety four, I said, we can't let 204 00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:40.600 these dogs die. How about just for a couple of 205 00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:43.200 weeks so we can find somebody else take this over. 206 00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:45.759 Let's rescue them. By the end of August, we had 207 00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:49.639 in our house one hundred and two Great Danes and 208 00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:54.399 sixty one puppies under seven weeks of age. Wow, because 209 00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:57.039 they were all being put to death and we saved everyone. Well, 210 00:10:57.480 --> 00:11:00.279 you know here it is like thirty years later, haven't 211 00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:03.679 found anybody take over the rescues. But here's the key thing. 212 00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:06.600 This is our charity. My wife and I don't take 213 00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:09.559 any salary from this and because we love dogs and 214 00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:12.600 we've actually made it our life's work, we have found 215 00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:15.480 a way to help them live longer. Giant breed dogs 216 00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:18.360 particularly only live six to eight years or seven to 217 00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:21.840 nine years. Other breeds usually live only ten or twelve years. 218 00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:24.720 We have found a way to make all dogs have 219 00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:29.720 a chance to live as long as thirty years. We created, 220 00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:34.399 after spending actually millions of dollars, we created a special 221 00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:37.519 food and a special way to care for dogs. And 222 00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:40.639 right now, throughout the United States and Canada, more than 223 00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:45.000 one hundred thousand dogs every day eat our gentle giants. 224 00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:47.879 Dog food is for all breeds, all ages, from the 225 00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:50.919 youngest puppies to the oldest seniors. Here at our house 226 00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:53.519 right now, I've got five dogs that are over twenty 227 00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:54.240 years of age. 228 00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:54.720 God. 229 00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:59.879 We have a customer in PHOENICX. His dog on January 230 00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:03.399 third of twenty twenty five will be thirty one years 231 00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:05.879 old eating our food. And you say, well, how can 232 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:08.080 you do that, Well, let me tell you in a nutshell, 233 00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:10.279 here's how we can do it. For any of your 234 00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:13.519 listeners who have dogs. Here's a quick suggestion. Go pick 235 00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:15.639 up some of the food you're feeding doesn't matter if 236 00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:18.039 it's the cheapest food, are the most expensive? Pick it 237 00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:20.320 up those kibbles, rub them in your fingers, put them down, 238 00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:23.240 rub your fingers together. You're gonna feel a greasy feeling. 239 00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:26.879 That's animal fat that was sprayed onto the food and 240 00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:30.440 stealing the food to make dogs eat more, to make 241 00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:34.039 you buy more dog food. Well, that is terrible. We 242 00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:36.360 believe it's killing dogs. And why do I say that, 243 00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:38.720 because you wouldn't if you cook bacon, would you take 244 00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:41.360 the grease and pour down your garbage disposed? Of course not, 245 00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:44.000 it would clog it. We'll think of all the dogs 246 00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:48.000 whose arteries and intestines are clogged with animal fat. Okay, 247 00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:51.840 and so we don't do that. Our food is incredibly healthy, 248 00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:55.000 non g O. That's another thing. You know in the US, 249 00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:57.600 our food now, our few food supply is more than 250 00:12:57.720 --> 00:13:02.440 ninety percent genetically modified to accept pesticide in the food. 251 00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:05.440 You know, when a farmer grows a plant and pets 252 00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:08.440 and bugs attack it, he sprayed with pesticide. Half the 253 00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:11.279 time it kills the plant, but with GMOs in it, 254 00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:15.440 the plant lives, and unfortunately the plant absorbs the pesticide. 255 00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:19.039 Your dog eats the food, fruits vegetables, meat, whatever it is, 256 00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:22.600 and your dog ends up getting cancer. I mean our dogs, 257 00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:26.480 and this is absolutely true. In thirty years, we've had 258 00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:30.279 more than fifteen thousand, five hundred dogs here and less 259 00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:31.639 than a dozen had cancer. 260 00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:33.559 Bert I don't I don't think a lot of people 261 00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:36.600 understand when they see the store bought pet food just 262 00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:40.399 how lousy and full of garbage it is, and how 263 00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:44.120 good quality pure food can give pets a new lease 264 00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:46.000 on life. I had a cat for eighteen years and 265 00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:48.360 it was on death's door a handful of times. And 266 00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:51.320 when I started feeding the cat raw food that was 267 00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:55.799 kind of expensive, it brought her back to life. 268 00:13:55.840 --> 00:13:59.759 Absolutely. But what we've done is we've found a way. 269 00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:02.080 Now that's just the food, but it's how you've seed 270 00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:05.360 the dogs. We seed dogs differently. We feed our dogs 271 00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:07.799 a minimum of five times a day, small or more 272 00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:10.879 frequent meals. Why do you do that because their bodies 273 00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:13.919 wear out faster if they have to digest only two 274 00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:17.360 meals a day. There's so much technology in our thing, 275 00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:19.600 and by the way, our food is general giants. I'd 276 00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:21.600 like to mention that those that want it here in 277 00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:25.840 southern California, they could go to any State, or Brothers Market, Ralph's, Gelson's. 278 00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:28.879 They could go to any petco. We're in fifteen hundred 279 00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:31.799 pet coos across the country, and they can order it online, 280 00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:34.320 you know, Petco, Chewy dot com. You know all of 281 00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:37.480 the other majors plot for cats as well. We lost 282 00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:40.600 too cats recently. One was thirty one years old and 283 00:14:40.600 --> 00:14:43.480 one was thirty two years old. You can't do that 284 00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:47.240 with regular pet food. And our food is so healthy, 285 00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:50.039 it is the cleanest, and it's our charity. We take 286 00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:53.399 no salary from this because we want everybody to be 287 00:14:53.440 --> 00:14:56.840 able to afford a food to help them keep their 288 00:14:57.080 --> 00:14:58.639 dog or cat years longer. 289 00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:02.600 That's incredible. And just tell people one more time where 290 00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:05.840 they can go online to check out everything about General Giant. 291 00:15:06.559 --> 00:15:10.600 They can go to General Giantsdogfood dot com, General giantspatfood 292 00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:14.519 dot com or Generalgiantspet Products dot com. And you know, 293 00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:18.720 there's so many testimonials. We have thousands of testimonials on 294 00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:22.000 Facebook and other places where people their dogs were near death. 295 00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:25.879 You know, their vets told them nothing more can be done, 296 00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:28.840 and they came back on our food because it's pure, 297 00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:32.720 it's natural nutrition, and it's our charity. Again, we want 298 00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:36.759 everybody's dog and cat to live the longest, healthiest life possible. 299 00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:39.120 This is our life's work. And by the way, quick thing. 300 00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:42.559 We got four awards on April twenty eight two from 301 00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:46.080 the President of the United States, the President's Volunteer Service 302 00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:49.519 Award for having rescued more than fifteen thousand, five hundred dogs, 303 00:15:49.720 --> 00:15:53.600 and the President's Lifetime Achievement Award for having created this 304 00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:56.639 special food and a special feeding and care program that 305 00:15:56.759 --> 00:15:59.720 now almost all of our dogs here are living twice 306 00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:03.840 their normal life man with no illness. Our dogs are 307 00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:06.679 so healthy. The only time they go to a veterinarian 308 00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:10.440 is every three years for a rabies update. No illness. 309 00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:12.480 Good on you for that. Good on you for that. 310 00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:15.080 That is so terrific.

As we said, I'm Batman to them Batmobile. 320 00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:46.480 Absolutely, you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand 321 00:16:46.720 --> 00:17:12.359 from kf I A M six forty's. 322 00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:01.360 About pop culture. 323 00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:13.000 Ron and Report with Mark Ronner. 324 00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:16.119 It's Later with Mo Killing on kf I AM six 325 00:17:16.119 --> 00:17:19.680 point forty Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. I'm Mark Ronner. 326 00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:22.200 It's the Run and Report and a couple of vastly 327 00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:26.880 different things this week. First Terminator zero on Netflix. Here's 328 00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:29.880 a bit of the trailer and it's pretty visual, and 329 00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:33.839 radio is more of a non visual medium, So I'm 330 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:36.400 gonna give you a little color commentary while the clip plays, 331 00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:37.799 and we're gonna cut it off because I think it 332 00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:47.160 gets a little gnarly about halfway through. Vicious dog, unstoppable 333 00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:54.119 terminator killing people with automatic weapons, Terminator's face half off, 334 00:17:55.720 --> 00:18:02.759 army of robots marching. You have uncertainty. Only one thing 335 00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:05.519 is brutal terminator violence against humans. 336 00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:08.240 Things will get worse. 337 00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:15.319 Truck ramming a terminator over a bridge. You're not gonna 338 00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:19.160 kill him. I need to stop. 339 00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:24.839 Judgment day. 340 00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:31.200 Terminator with a crossbow popping out of his arm. We 341 00:18:31.279 --> 00:18:33.599 haven't seen that before. Dan die or you can come 342 00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:48.039 with me, who orde comply or Die seems reasonable. Terminator 343 00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:51.160 zero is an eight part animated series, and I don't 344 00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:53.720 watch a lot of animated movies or shows. You know why, 345 00:18:54.400 --> 00:18:57.519 because I'm an adult. Go ahead, foosh, okay, that's a joke. 346 00:18:57.559 --> 00:18:59.920 I like running into the ground and taunting people like 347 00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:03.000 to wallow with. But anime creators in Japan have always 348 00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:05.759 understood that you can make any kind of animated movie 349 00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:08.119 tell any kind of story, and it doesn't have to 350 00:19:08.200 --> 00:19:10.920 be for kids. In fact, plenty of it can be 351 00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:14.799 pretty hardcore, and this Terminator show definitely can be. There 352 00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:20.480 is some violence that goes hard in this it's in fact, 353 00:19:20.839 --> 00:19:23.119 I wish more of the movies in the Terminator series 354 00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:25.880 had been this entertaining instead of just feeling like they 355 00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:28.400 keep going back to the well over and over and 356 00:19:28.440 --> 00:19:30.920 over because they haven't quite extracted all the money they 357 00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:34.359 can from Terminator fans. Arnold needs some new hummers in 358 00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:37.799 a humid or back to work. The truth is Terminators 359 00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:40.240 kind of like the Alien series to me. The first 360 00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:42.799 one was a milestone, the second one up the aty 361 00:19:43.079 --> 00:19:45.279 and was a bigger, different kind of classic in its 362 00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:49.720 own right, both classics. And then there's the rest about 363 00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:51.680 the most you could say is they had some good 364 00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:55.319 stuff in them, but generally ranged from uneven to just 365 00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:57.799 outright code browns. Can you even name all of them? 366 00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:01.000 If you've seen them all, Tiffany, you win nothing. There 367 00:20:01.240 --> 00:20:08.640 was Terminator three, Rise of the Something or Others, Terminator, Salvation, Terminator, 368 00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:15.200 Genesis ge Nisys, which irritates me. That's an irritating spelling. Terminator, 369 00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:17.599 Dark Fate, which is that the one where they brought 370 00:20:17.599 --> 00:20:18.519 back Linda Hamilton. 371 00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:20.680 I think so okay, I have no idea. 372 00:20:20.720 --> 00:20:22.519 And then you had a two thousand and eight TV 373 00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:25.799 series with Lena Heaty from Game of Thrones, and I 374 00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:27.960 got to tell you, of all these that one wasn't 375 00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:30.920 that bad, believe it or not. T Zero set in 376 00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:34.559 Japan in nineteen ninety seven before Judgment Day. Pretty familiar premise, 377 00:20:34.599 --> 00:20:37.319 you heard it, Come with me if you want to live, 378 00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:41.119 or something along those lines. But it's nicely executed. Pardon me. 379 00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:44.359 A terminator is sent back to kill a scientist who's 380 00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:48.960 developing an aa AI called Cookoro to compete with the 381 00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:52.359 sky Net that we all know and kill the scientist children, 382 00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:55.480 and a female fighter sent back to stop the killing. 383 00:20:55.559 --> 00:20:58.079 Kind of a female Kyle Reese. This one gets right 384 00:20:58.119 --> 00:21:01.279 down to business, with a minimum of cheese, plenty of attention, 385 00:21:01.480 --> 00:21:05.480 and some fairly jarring violence. Full disclosure. I was friends 386 00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:08.319 with Harlan Ellison, who sued James Cameron for ripping off 387 00:21:08.319 --> 00:21:10.880 a couple of his Outer Limits stories for The Terminator, 388 00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:15.319 allegedly episodes called Soldier and Demon with a Glass Hand. 389 00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:18.240 They're on they're streaming. You can find them episodes of 390 00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:20.759 the old black and white Outer Limits, both excellent stories 391 00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:25.000 about time travel and saving the human race. That is 392 00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:27.400 why you see the acknowledgment added at the end of 393 00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:29.759 the first Terminator movie. Alison got some money too, but 394 00:21:29.799 --> 00:21:31.839 he never told me how much. But he was always 395 00:21:31.839 --> 00:21:34.400 good about picking up a check. By the way, Ellison 396 00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:38.759 wrote another modern classic about computers all linking up, becoming sentient, 397 00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:42.240 and killing off nearly all humanity. It's called and I'm 398 00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:44.960 not making this up. I have no mouth, and I 399 00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:48.599 must scream, one of the all time great titles. The 400 00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:52.079 super Mega computer in this story keeps the last handful 401 00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:54.720
