Speaker 2: Comic Con Revolution returns this weekend May seventeenth and eighteenth
Speaker 2: at the Ontario Convention Center with amazing guest appearances and
Speaker 2: cast reunions, legendary comic book creators, iconic voice actors, world
Speaker 2: class photo ops at a curated mix of vendors and exhibitors.
Speaker 2: There's nothing quite like Comic Con Revolution, and tickets for
Speaker 2: the eighth annual Comic Con Revolution are on sale now.
Speaker 2: You can go to Comic Conrevolution dot com. But joining
Speaker 2: me in studio right now is the founder and creator
Speaker 2: of Comic Con Revolution, Drew Selden. We welcome him back
Speaker 2: to the show. Tell us about this Inland Empire's largest
Speaker 2: comic and pop culture event ever.
Speaker 3: Absolutely well again, it is great to be back. This
Speaker 3: is truly one of my favorite things about coming back.
Speaker 4: Year after year.
Speaker 3: You and I get to sit down for about an hour,
Speaker 3: hang out, talk comics, talk pop culture.
Speaker 4: It's just fantastic and it's always new.
Speaker 2: When I say it's always new It feels like we
Speaker 2: haven't talked about it before, but in talking about it,
Speaker 2: I think it's always good to remind people Comic Con
Speaker 2: Revolution serves a specific audience, no pun intended, but we're
Speaker 2: talking about the Inland Empire where people historically customarily may
Speaker 2: not have thought about that being a gathering point.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, which is also one of the reasons that Comic
Speaker 3: Con Revolution was born in the England Empire. We were
Speaker 3: looking eight years ago for a spot to do a show,
Speaker 3: and you know, we had to find a location that
Speaker 3: was under serviced. We had to find a location that
Speaker 3: had a building. We had to find a location that
Speaker 3: had lots of people. We also had to then find
Speaker 3: a weekend that worked no other regional cons. It all
Speaker 3: magically came together this weekend before Memorial Day at the
Speaker 3: Ontario Convention Center in the Inland Empire. And you know,
Speaker 3: this started as a one day show in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 3: We had a few thousand people show up. Now we're
Speaker 3: in year eight. The whole building is going to be
Speaker 3: jam packed. There's going to be, you know, tens of
Speaker 3: thousands of people there. It's going to be just a
Speaker 3: tremendous tremendous weekend. You told some of the story, you
Speaker 3: didn't tell all the stories. We've talked many times over
Speaker 3: the year, but I remember talking about the impact of
Speaker 3: the pandemic on comic cob Revolution and how, quite frankly,
Speaker 3: you might not have made it to year eight.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3: It was definitely touch and go, I mean with everybody,
Speaker 3: especially in the events bass. We came out here in March.
Speaker 3: I mean we were actually in the air when the
Speaker 3: whole world shut down on March twelfth or whatever it
Speaker 3: was of twenty twenty. I fell asleep. My partner's waken
Speaker 3: me up, screaming at me, dude, dude, We're gonna be
Speaker 3: stuck in California forever. The world is shutting down.
Speaker 4: Sports is over.
Speaker 3: They canceled the NTAA storming. This literally all happened while
Speaker 3: we were in the air and having no idea, I said,
Speaker 3: how long can this last? We're going to have the
Speaker 3: show in May? What are you guys kidding me? Obviously
Speaker 3: we did not. We buckled down, we contracted, we made
Speaker 3: every move we could to make sure we were still
Speaker 3: going to exist, and then in December of twenty one,
Speaker 3: we were the first show back anywhere to have a
Speaker 3: post pandemic comic con, and people were so excited and
Speaker 3: just chomping at the bit to be back, to be out,
Speaker 3: to be doing the thing again.
Speaker 2: I know there are people who are listening and that
Speaker 2: now people who are watching by YouTube and Instagram who've
Speaker 2: never been to any con, any convention. How would you
Speaker 2: explain to them the joy, the allure, the experience. So
Speaker 2: the experience is the way we do.
Speaker 3: It is a family friendly comic con convention, pop culture event.
Speaker 3: We keep it as non risque as possible. We tell
Speaker 3: our cause players, which are the people who dress up.
Speaker 3: I think before you dress up. We do want everyone
Speaker 3: to feel comfortable when they're walking around the floor. We
Speaker 3: offer kids twelve and under free admission with a paid
Speaker 3: adult ticket, So again we understand what's going on in
Speaker 3: the world and that these little things can help a lot.
Speaker 3: But if you've never been to a comic convention, why
Speaker 3: come to this one. Well, we have a tremendous guest list,
Speaker 3: which is being spearheaded by a small villcast reunion.
Speaker 4: I mean you super yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: I told you we were going to do better than
Speaker 3: last year, and I had to deliver. Tom Welling is coming.
Speaker 3: You can't have a small Ville union. We have Superman,
Speaker 3: all right, Erica Durance, Lois Lane is coming, Michael Rosenbaum,
Speaker 3: the Evil Lex Luthor, Jonathan Kent, John Schneider. Uh, They're
Speaker 3: all coming out. They're going to be hosting a panel,
Speaker 3: they're going to be doing photo ops, they're going to
Speaker 3: be sign and autographs. And for me, this is a
Speaker 3: personal one because I was a huge fan of the show.
Speaker 3: When you have one Superman, you can't not have another.
Speaker 3: Brandon Routh is also coming, So in addition to Tom
Speaker 3: being there, if you're a Superman, yeah, if you're a
Speaker 3: big Superman guy, you can meet both of them, take
Speaker 3: a photo op with both of them.
Speaker 4: So that's top level stuff.

Speaker 3: going to have Mark Bagley's going to be there, Chris
Speaker 3: Pacala is going to be there. Ron Limmy is going
Speaker 3: to be there. You know, you kind of name it.

Speaker 3: all that aspects of it. And then we have programming
Speaker 3: throughout the whole weekend, and yeah, you can hear the
Speaker 3: celebs talk about the shows they were on. Or if

Speaker 4: So just come and eat. That sounds good enough sometimes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So, like I said, it's it's really it's got
Speaker 3: something for everybody. And I know that's such an overused
Speaker 3: cliche statement, but it really does. And if you're a
Speaker 3: novice and you've never been to one, it's it's not
Speaker 3: gonna be overwhelming. It's gonna be enough of an intimate
Speaker 3: setting and enough room for you to not feel like

Speaker 2: about Comic Con Revolution in just a moment.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: It's later with Mo Kelly. We're talking about Comic Con Revolution,
Speaker 2: which is this weekend May seventeenth and eighteenth at the
Speaker 2: Ontario Con Center. And if you want to get tickets,
Speaker 2: you don't have to wait for us. You can go
Speaker 2: to Comic Conrevolution dot com right now. But while you're
Speaker 2: doing that, you can also listen to me and Drew
Speaker 2: Selden as we talk about Comic Con Revolution, and Drew,
Speaker 2: I just let you kind of go there because you
Speaker 2: can tell us about it better than anyone. And I
Speaker 2: did want to get in a way, but I'm quite
Speaker 2: sure you see all ages. Some people have this perception
Speaker 2: of cons It's only for thirty five year old geeks
Speaker 2: and nerds who have no life. It's not a family event.
Speaker 2: And I want to disabuse, disabuse people of that notion.
Speaker 2: Oh definitely, we listen. I'm here. My daughter's in the
Speaker 2: room with me, so I am your.
Speaker 4: Daughter's grown up in this studio.
Speaker 3: She has actually she just graduated college, so congratulations to her.
Speaker 4: Yes she did. I remember if she was yay hi
Speaker 4: to a GRASSHOPPERA that was last year.
Speaker 3: But she's but no, it so again, and my partners were,
Speaker 3: we're all family men, and it's an important aspect. Being
Speaker 3: able to do stuff with your kids. If you know
Speaker 3: the world allows for it and you know it's something
Speaker 3: you can do, is amazing. We like to put on
Speaker 3: a show that again, is not just for the hardcore
Speaker 3: comic collector. It's for anyone who wants to come out
Speaker 3: and experience something either new or something that they love.
Speaker 3: And if you can bring your kids for free if
Speaker 3: they're twelve and under, it listen, if you if you
Speaker 3: buy an adult ticket, you can bring your kids twelve
Speaker 3: and under for free, so it makes it more affordable
Speaker 3: and and spend the money on the show floor, you know,
Speaker 3: get them that superhero T shirt they want, Get them
Speaker 3: you know that pop figure that they want, Let them
Speaker 3: have an autograph with somebody or a photo op. I
Speaker 3: mean that that's amazing. You know, those are core memories.
Speaker 3: That's the kind of stuff that you know you want
Speaker 3: to take with you when you leave there.
Speaker 4: So it's it's again.
Speaker 3: But if you are a hardcore, we've got plenty of
Speaker 3: stuff there that's going to keep you busy as well,
Speaker 3: whether it's the comic artist getting your book signed, whether
Speaker 3: you've got stuff that you need to get a praise
Speaker 3: and you know, sell buy.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: If you've never been to one again, it's it's a
Speaker 3: it could be a great first time to experience it
Speaker 3: because you're going to get everything a big con has
Speaker 3: to offer at a more intimate setting.
Speaker 2: How has it, and this is a semi personal question,
Speaker 2: how has Comic Con Revolution impacted your relationship with your daughter?
Speaker 4: I think I know, but I want to hear from you.
Speaker 3: Well, I turned her into a geek, so I apologize
Speaker 3: for that, but she she has far surpassed me in
Speaker 3: so many ways, whether it's gaming or her knowledge of stuff.
Speaker 3: And to be honest with you, I I often bounced
Speaker 3: guest ideas off of her because she definitely has her
Speaker 3: finger on the pulse of things. So it's it's a
Speaker 3: it's something we share a love for all aspects of it.
Speaker 3: And again I asked her and I brought some of
Speaker 3: her friends out as well to work last year, because
Speaker 3: again they're they're they're the future of the business, my
Speaker 3: customer base, of the whole thing, so it's great to
Speaker 3: get real feedback.
Speaker 2: I love this success story. That's my phraseology because it
Speaker 2: wasn't supposed to be. If you looked at it from
Speaker 2: thirty thousand feet up, as the cliche goes, you would think, okay, well,
Speaker 2: it's not Memorial Day weekend, so it's not a high
Speaker 2: traffic weekend. It's not in San Diego or La, it's
Speaker 2: not in the big city per se. There's nothing to
Speaker 2: where a person could point to and say that's going
Speaker 2: to survive or that's going to be successful. Then you
Speaker 2: throw in the pandemic. Everything was working against you on paper.
Speaker 2: So that's why I'm so appreciative of this success story.
Speaker 2: Looking back, though, is there anything you would do differently?
Speaker 3: Well, the whole reason that my partners Mike James and
Speaker 3: I started Comic Con Revolution was because we did want
Speaker 3: to do something differently. We all met working for other people,
Speaker 3: putting on their cons, and you know, everybody who works
Speaker 3: for somebody always says, well, you know, if I was
Speaker 3: doing it and I was in charge, I would do this.
Speaker 3: That's why I'm doing radio No exactly right, And that's
Speaker 3: really where the ideas them from. There were so many
Speaker 3: things that we wanted to do our way, and whether
Speaker 3: they were right or wrong, they were our way, and
Speaker 3: we've refined them over the last you know, eight years
Speaker 3: because some of them, unfortunately were not the right way.
Speaker 3: But but you you know, you live and learn, and
Speaker 3: Comic Con Revolution is a love letter to the industry,
Speaker 3: to pop culture, to the creators, to the artists, to
Speaker 3: the storytellers because of how much joy they bring to everybody.
Speaker 3: So that's that's, that's part of what the whole show
Speaker 3: is about.
Speaker 2: Comic Con Revolution is this weekend May seventeenth and eighteenth
Speaker 2: at the Ontario Convention Center in the Ie. You want
Speaker 2: your tickets, got to get them right now for the
Speaker 2: eighth annual Comic Con Revolution. Go to comic conrevolution dot com.
Speaker 2: Buy an adult prize ticket, get a free ticket for
Speaker 2: children under the age of twelve. I don't know if
Speaker 2: you'd be able to beat that deal anywhere. We'll have more,
Speaker 2: but you sell it in just a moment. It's Later
Speaker 2: with mo Kelly KFI AM six forty Live everywhere in

Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with mo kel on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 4: It's Later with mo Kelly K six forty.
Speaker 2: We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app, YouTube, and Instagram.
Speaker 2: At mister Mokelly on YouTube and Instagram if you want
Speaker 2: to see the show right now. In the middle of
Speaker 2: a conversation with Drew Seldon, as we talk about Comic
Speaker 2: Con Revolution, which is coming to the Ontario Convention Center
Speaker 2: this weekend the seventeenth and eighteenth, we went over the
Speaker 2: amazing guest appearances which are scheduled cast reunions, talking about
Speaker 2: the Smallville cast reunion, which I think might be at
Speaker 2: the top of everyone's list, and Drew, I don't know
Speaker 2: if there's anyone who enjoys what he does more than you,
Speaker 2: with the exception to me, I think I got the
Speaker 2: best job in the world.
Speaker 4: You might be a close second.
Speaker 3: Well, thank you, But as I always tell everybody, we
Speaker 3: certainly don't do this for the money because with you know,
Speaker 3: most passion things, there isn't any We love this and
Speaker 3: it's a way to bring what we love to everybody
Speaker 3: else who loves it as well. You know, the first
Speaker 3: part of the word fanatic is fan and bringing them
Speaker 3: out to get to meet somebody who idolize their work
Speaker 3: that you love their TV show. You know, you think
Speaker 3: I invested you get in a series that runs for
Speaker 3: ten years or a series that runs for four years,
Speaker 3: or a movie that you just can't stop watching on
Speaker 3: whether it's Netflix or you know, streaming whatever streaming service,
Speaker 3: and the idea that you get to have that moment
Speaker 3: where you get to tell them and they look at
Speaker 3: you and they smile and they thank you for being
Speaker 3: a fan, because they all do it. I mean they
Speaker 3: this the people who come to these shows, the celebrities,
Speaker 3: the talent, the artists, the voice actors, the you know,
Speaker 3: the movie stars, the TV stars. They come because think
Speaker 3: about being able to meet people who appreciate you and
Speaker 3: what you did for them. You know, again, it was
Speaker 3: a TV show ran for however long, so like I said,
Speaker 3: it's a special moment and to be able to help
Speaker 3: facilitate that is awesome.
Speaker 2: But when you talk about a TV show, you're talking
Speaker 2: about something or somebody who was allowed into your home.
Speaker 2: You spent time with, even though it might have only
Speaker 2: been in one direction. You spent time with the person.
Speaker 2: You might have been going through a breakup, but that
Speaker 2: was your comfort food, watching that show or watching that
Speaker 2: movie over and over again, and they become like family
Speaker 2: members in a certain way.
Speaker 4: As weird as it may sound.
Speaker 3: No, it's one hundred percent, or maybe you're cheering for
Speaker 3: your favorite wrestler like Booker t. Yes, you know, you
Speaker 3: never know, but yes, the idea of that is something.
Speaker 3: And maybe a certain episode got you through a rough patch,
Speaker 3: like you were saying, you know, your dog was sick
Speaker 3: that day, and you watched your show and it gave
Speaker 3: you a laugh, and it gave you that escape for
Speaker 3: the hour. Again, that's not something that you can take lightly,
Speaker 3: because we all need it.
Speaker 2: And it stays with us for life, as evidence by
Speaker 2: the continuous connection we have with these shows, these actors,
Speaker 2: these memories. I mean, we all love nostalgia, but it's
Speaker 2: not just anything that is in our past.
Speaker 4: It's specific things which touch us in a certain way.
Speaker 3: Definitely, and and and even this is why also we
Speaker 3: do family stuff, and there's just a full on spectrum
Speaker 3: of there's stuff for mom, there's stuff for dad. There's
Speaker 3: stuff for little Joey and little Susie and and the
Speaker 3: whole thing. So again, whether it's the cartoon that your
Speaker 3: kids watched incessantly over and over again while they were
Speaker 3: growing up and now they still take it with them,
Speaker 3: or again, your favorite show or a comic book you
Speaker 3: read back in you know, the early two thousands that
Speaker 3: the yes, well you and I go back, but not
Speaker 3: everybody goes that about but you know, and you're gonna
Speaker 3: get to meet the person who wrote it and say
Speaker 3: to them, Hey, I read this book so many times
Speaker 3: and for this reason, it's stuck with me. And like,
Speaker 3: there's a Marv Wolfman is going to be there. And
Speaker 3: Marv Wolfman worked on a storyline that read did the
Speaker 3: DC Universe when when the Infinite Crisis stories and he
Speaker 3: was part of a book and the cover sticks with
Speaker 3: me today. And this cover was done in the eighties
Speaker 3: and it's Superman holding a dead Supergirl with all the
Speaker 3: heroes in the background from all across the multiverse, and
Speaker 3: it's something that it's such an iconic image to me,
Speaker 3: and it's forty years old, but whenever I see it,
Speaker 3: it takes me back. It makes me think, I pause,
Speaker 3: I look at it for a second, and like I said,
Speaker 3: it's just things like that happen at these shows, and
Speaker 3: there's so many elements to it.
Speaker 2: One more time before we let you go. How can
Speaker 2: people get their tickets? Where can they get their tickets?
Speaker 2: And what is the advantage of maybe buying an adult ticket? Sure,
Speaker 2: so comic conrevolution dot com. Get your tickets, You can
Speaker 2: look at all the programming, you could set your weekend schedule.
Speaker 2: You can order autographs in advance, you can arrange your
Speaker 2: photo ops in advance. You can also do all of
Speaker 2: that on site of the advance in advance. You can
Speaker 2: also do all of that on site at the show.
Speaker 2: If you do buy an adult ticket again, as we mentioned,
Speaker 2: you get twelve and under children in for free. What
Speaker 2: else is on there?
Speaker 3: All the information related to everything that's going on that weekend,
Speaker 3: whether it's signing up for the cosplay contest because you
Speaker 3: want to strut your stuff across the stage, or if
Speaker 3: you just want to go and watch. You know you're
Speaker 3: you're looking to again, set your full on schedule. I
Speaker 3: want to make sure I hit the Smallville panel. My
Speaker 3: kids want to make sure they hit the Phineas and
Speaker 3: Third panel. We also want That's kind of important.
Speaker 2: Because you will lose stuff, get lost in the in
Speaker 2: the calendar, and you may miss some stuff.
Speaker 3: Right, and you don't want to and again you don't
Speaker 3: want to say to yourself, oh, I can't believe we
Speaker 3: were walking the floor and we missed this panel. So
Speaker 3: look at it. It's all there everything's on Comic Conrevolution

Speaker 2: about it all week long. There are some things you
Speaker 2: just can't get back. There are some places in which
Speaker 2: you won't be able to return from. Sometimes you can
Speaker 2: go too far and there's no finding your way back.
Speaker 2: I believe that's where we are as a nation politically.
Speaker 2: Here's an example a Democratic candidate for Virginia's House of Delegates,
Speaker 2: announced over the weekend that she and her husband wait
Speaker 2: for it, wait for it, they're swingers. Yvonne Rohr explained
Speaker 2: Saturday that she wanted to reveal something that she thought
Speaker 2: could be used against her, that she and her husband
Speaker 2: of twenty two years, even though they're deeply committed in love,
Speaker 2: they consider themselves to be ethically non monogamous.
Speaker 4: Yes, swingers.
Speaker 2: I don't know why they want to call it ethically
Speaker 2: non monogamous, but they get around. Quote Our lifestyle choice
Speaker 2: mostly includes consensually dating other couples together and being part
Speaker 2: of a vast and growing community of like minded people
Speaker 2: close quote swingers first, Yvonne, it can't be used against
Speaker 2: you because nothing matters anymore.
Speaker 4: We don't live in nineteen ninety three anymore.
Speaker 2: The sitting president of the United States just accepted a
Speaker 2: four hundred million dollar bride in the form of a
Speaker 2: goal plate at seven forty seven. That was accepted the
Speaker 2: same news cycle as the Trump organization striking a five
Speaker 2: point five billion dollar gaulf. Of course, a hotel deal
Speaker 2: d near Kaitar in Katar. Weren't we supposedly concerned about
Speaker 2: Hunter Biden peddling influence and making more than eleven million
Speaker 2: dollars in connection to Bisma.
Speaker 4: That was just last year.
Speaker 2: Eleven million is five thousand times less than five point
Speaker 2: five billion mark check my math.
Speaker 4: But I'm pretty sure I'm right. Yeah, I keep going.
Speaker 2: Please, But the point is nothing matters, not the Hatch Act,
Speaker 2: not the Emolument's clause, and the Constitution. Not sex with
Speaker 2: playboy models and porn stars. So why would being swingers
Speaker 2: matter in twenty twenty five. Don't get me wrong, thank
Speaker 2: you von Rohr for falling on your sword, I'll just
Speaker 2: say sword and letting the voting public know the truth
Speaker 2: about your pineapple sex life. I'm old enough to remember
Speaker 2: when Billy Carter, the brother of President Jimmy Carter, was
Speaker 2: hauled before Congress because of what he was doing in
Speaker 2: Libya and Libya. Billy car Or visited Libya three times
Speaker 2: with a contingent from Georgia. He eventually registered as a
Speaker 2: foreign agent of the Libyan government and received two hundred
Speaker 2: and twenty thousand dollars in the form of a loan,
Speaker 2: and it was only some one thousand dollars repaid. Our
Speaker 2: country went appoplectic over that of two hundred and twenty
Speaker 2: thousand dollars loan, and he was the brother of the
Speaker 2: sitting president. Now you can have Eric Trump just announced
Speaker 2: his meme coin. We'll go public next week and it
Speaker 2: should net him in the Trump organization billions of dollars.
Speaker 2: Nothing matters anymore. There are some things you just can't
Speaker 2: get back from. There's some places in which you can't
Speaker 2: be who you won't be able to return from. Sometimes
Speaker 2: you can go too far and there's no finding your
Speaker 2: way back, because that's where we are.
Speaker 4: Nothing matters.
Speaker 2: We had a president who used a cigar as a
Speaker 2: sex object with an intern on the resolute desk. We
Speaker 2: have a president presidently who is cheated on every wife,
Speaker 2: all three of them. Don't try to tell me that
Speaker 2: we care about morals or our political leaders ever. Again,
Speaker 2: it's a lie. So no nobody cares about somebody running
Speaker 2: for office who engages in group sex with strangers and
Speaker 2: partner swaps. That well equipped horse wink wink left the
Speaker 2: barn a long time ago, and it's not coming back.
Speaker 2: Remember when Ronald Reagan was accused of arms trafficking to
Speaker 2: Iran for five whole years of his eight years as president.
Speaker 2: You know the Iran contra affair, and that was one
Speaker 2: of the greatest scandals, arguably in presidential history. Well, two
Speaker 2: days ago, our government just agreed to sell Saudi Arabia
Speaker 2: one hundred and forty two billion dollars in arms, directly
Speaker 2: out in the open, the same country responsible for the
Speaker 2: murder of Jamal Kushogi, and the same country responsible on
Speaker 2: some level for nine to eleven all facts, None of
Speaker 2: it matters, not even a blip on the radar in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. And speaking of Saudi Arabia and family
Speaker 2: members of sitting president, it's either pedaling influenced or family
Speaker 2: members of presidents benefiting. This is on the heels of
Speaker 2: the country gifting Jerry Kushner and his company two billion dollars.
Speaker 2: And everything I said is a fact, and nothing of
Speaker 2: what I said matters anymore. There's no going back. And
Speaker 2: I'm not even mad. I'm just pointing this out. This
Speaker 2: is a true statement. This is not about Democrats or Republicans,
Speaker 2: because none of it matters. If you're okay with a
Speaker 2: four hundred billion dollar plane, don't talk to me about
Speaker 2: eleven million to somebody's private citizen son.
Speaker 4: I just want some consistency.
Speaker 2: We could have a future presidential candidate who is part
Speaker 2: of Diddy's freak OFFFS. It will not matter because we
Speaker 2: don't have standards anymore. We already have a felon as
Speaker 2: a president. What's a sex trafficking and racketeering conviction. It's
Speaker 2: just next door, maybe in the same yard. But here's
Speaker 2: the point, you or we as a nation, can't delude
Speaker 2: ourselves with belief of this supposed American exceptionalism when we
Speaker 2: embrace not having any standards. You can't care about corruption
Speaker 2: last year and then disregard it this year. You can't
Speaker 2: care about the supposed sexual behavior of elected leaders last
Speaker 2: year but not this year. Oh oh, getting ready to
Speaker 2: step on some toes. You can't care about the cognitive
Speaker 2: decline of a president last year. Say it with me,
Speaker 2: but not this year? Question mark, I am Ron Burgundy.
Speaker 2: It just means that nothing matters anymore, and there's no
Speaker 2: coming back from that because standards require a leg to
Speaker 2: stand on, and last I checked, we've run out of legs.
Speaker 2: So von be proud that you're a pineapple princess. Nobody
Speaker 2: freaking cares. In fact, it might help you win because
Speaker 2: nothing matters for k I am six forty.
Speaker 4: I'm O Kelly Opinion.
Speaker 1: Without the free k f I N K O S
