Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: Jackie Ray The Jackiarray Show joins me in studio. Jackie Ray,
Speaker 2: It's always good to see you.
Speaker 3: Great to see you.
Speaker 2: I knew as soon as my social media started blowing
Speaker 2: up with complaints about the Paris opening ceremonies and how
Speaker 2: allegedly the opening ceremonies had mocked disrespected Christianity.
Speaker 4: Said let me pull this.
Speaker 2: Up because I was halfway looking at it, not really
Speaker 2: paying close attention to it, and then I had to
Speaker 2: slow down and go back and find some video. And
Speaker 2: I said, oh, is it because there were drag queens
Speaker 2: And I said, oh, they probably thought that was the
Speaker 2: last Supper, the last Supper, Okay, And let me just
Speaker 2: say this because people listening may not know.
Speaker 4: First good evening.
Speaker 2: I say this as a lifelong Christian, and I wouldn't
Speaker 2: say I'm a theologian, but you know, going to Georgetown University,
Speaker 2: Jesuit University, you have to take a lot of theology. Yes, okay,
Speaker 2: So I study other religions in the history of christian
Speaker 2: and Goodtholiss and all the kind of stuff. I understand
Speaker 2: why a person who's not really educated on the iconography
Speaker 2: of Christianity and where a lot of it comes from,
Speaker 2: might mistakenly believe that that was mocking the Last Supper.
Speaker 2: They had these drag queens in a line, if you will,
Speaker 2: around a table of food, and it could be reminiscent
Speaker 2: of that.
Speaker 4: But I also know the larger.
Speaker 2: Context of you're in Paris, French culture, and combine that
Speaker 2: with the Olympics Greek history, and then I know, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: that has to do with Greek divinity, and if you
Speaker 2: know anything about the Last Supper is basically taken from
Speaker 2: Greek divinity. As far as that particular setting, where did
Speaker 2: you come out on that when you saw the controversy?
Speaker 5: So I kind of back to saying that my dad,
Speaker 5: and I'm sure a lot of parents say, you know,
Speaker 5: methinks you protest too much, And that was just one
Speaker 5: of those moments where I was like, Okay, this is
Speaker 5: not a protest from all Christians by any stretch of
Speaker 5: the imagination. This is from a group of Christians who
Speaker 5: don't want drag queens reading to kids in libraries. They're
Speaker 5: very much Americans. Americans that are that have really been
Speaker 5: full strength, full speed ahead in opposition of everything LGBTQ.
Speaker 5: So for them, and I understand it because as a
Speaker 5: as a card carrying member of Club Petty, if I
Speaker 5: was trying to get back at Christians for their constant
Speaker 5: berating and constant demeaning of who I think I am,
Speaker 5: I'm definitely going to use the world stage two.
Speaker 4: Drag queens if they travel.
Speaker 5: If that was their intention, I can see how Christians
Speaker 5: would think that. But again, I think the only Christians
Speaker 5: who would think that are Christians who are always against
Speaker 5: this group of people who are always and you know,
Speaker 5: we've seen people in the Christian community be very anti
Speaker 5: drag queen again, anti them reading to kids in library,
Speaker 5: anti trans community. So I can see that group of
Speaker 5: people seeing that and feel like, oh my gosh, they
Speaker 5: have come for us.
Speaker 3: This is blasphemy.
Speaker 4: Okay, let's look at this from another way.
Speaker 2: I can also say, all right, I've seen a bunch
Speaker 2: of opening ceremonies for the Olympics. Okay, I understand what
Speaker 2: they're going forward with drag queens. As far as a
Speaker 2: French culture, it just seemed kind of odd and out
Speaker 2: of place for an Olympics opening ceremony, which is connected
Speaker 2: to athletic prowess.
Speaker 5: I agree with that. I thought the whole thing didn't
Speaker 5: make sense. But my first thing when I saw it,
Speaker 5: because I didn't see the open I mean, it was
Speaker 5: playing in the background very similar. And so then when
Speaker 5: I started hearing.
Speaker 3: The ting ting ting on.
Speaker 5: My phone, I was like, maybe I should pay attention
Speaker 5: to this. But for me, it struck me as funny
Speaker 5: number one. But I also think French culture, like some
Speaker 5: of the things that the French do, is just funny and.
Speaker 2: Tried dragons not any way unusual in French culture.
Speaker 3: It's not at all.
Speaker 5: So I just took this as oh, okay, they're just
Speaker 5: gonna take their moment and be like, we're here, and
Speaker 5: so I didn't think anything of it. I didn't immediately
Speaker 5: go into I did go where you were and go,
Speaker 5: this is very unique for an Olympic ceremony. But then
Speaker 5: I had to remind myself, this isn't Tokyo Olympics. This
Speaker 5: isn't gay Perry, Like literally that's what they call it.
Speaker 4: Gay isn't happy, right, Gay isn't gay?
Speaker 5: Yes, So like this is and that's what it's supposed
Speaker 5: to be. If you're the country that gets to host
Speaker 5: the Olympics. You are supposed to put some of your well,
Speaker 5: the parts of your culture that you really love and
Speaker 5: that you really pride. You're supposed to put that on
Speaker 5: display for the whole world to see. So once I
Speaker 5: really processed it, I was like, all these things on
Speaker 5: my phone are Americans being Americans and thinking that the
Speaker 5: world revolves around our thinking.
Speaker 4: Right, you know?
Speaker 2: And France is not going to put on an Olympics
Speaker 2: to a pease or please Americans, much less a subse
Speaker 2: of Americans. They call themselves Christians, I'm not so sure
Speaker 2: they are, which brings me to my next point. If
Speaker 2: you're truly a Christian and you've actually studied your own religion,
Speaker 2: you should know a lot of the imagery, a lot
Speaker 2: of the symbols, a lot of the iconography of Christianity
Speaker 2: as we know it or perceive a present day is
Speaker 2: taken from pagan traditions, including the cross itself that's been
Speaker 2: used in other religions.
Speaker 3: When I say that, people get mad, But I'm saying.
Speaker 4: No, you don't have to believe me. You know, as
Speaker 4: they say, do your research.
Speaker 2: I've studied this, okay, and I know that Greek mythology
Speaker 2: pre dates Christianity by good two three thousand years. If
Speaker 2: you want to go to the actual origins.
Speaker 3: The story of Eve is technically Pandora.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean so there's so many connections, and I know,
Speaker 2: and we live in a society where we can't wait
Speaker 2: to be angry, and there are things to be angry about.
Speaker 2: For example, when I saw this outrage, I was saying like, okay,
Speaker 2: if you are and I made post on this on
Speaker 2: threads today at mister mo'kelly, if you are more as
Speaker 2: a Christian, your Christian sensibilities are more offended by the
Speaker 2: opening ceremony of the Olympics, which you're not participating in.
Speaker 2: You probably weren't planning to really watch anyway. If your
Speaker 2: Christian sensibilities are more offended by that, then what happened
Speaker 2: to Sonia Massy in her own house? Then I can't
Speaker 2: take you seriously as a Christian.
Speaker 3: Well that's that's and.
Speaker 2: They probably say, well, who's Sonya Massy? That's my that's
Speaker 2: the point. That's the point.
Speaker 5: So one of the reasons why I stop going to
Speaker 5: church religiously is because of the selective outrage. Come on, now,
Speaker 5: the selective outrage was just I couldn't stomach it anymore.
Speaker 5: I couldn't sit in there and then hear people talk about,
Speaker 5: you know, oh, sister so and so was drinking too
Speaker 5: much sis, and so and so was doing this, and
Speaker 5: then this brother over here might be gay when there's
Speaker 5: this evilness that is like, I don't want to say evilness,
Speaker 5: but you know you've got pastors doing things that pastors
Speaker 5: shouldn't be doing.
Speaker 3: You've got you.
Speaker 2: Got pastors, you got bishops. Yes, you have priests. I
Speaker 2: don't want to leave out any religions. You have scout leaders.
Speaker 5: And if Christianity is really supposed to be the backbone
Speaker 5: of the country, if it's supposed to lead by example,
Speaker 5: then you can't say who is Sonia Massy. You have
Speaker 5: to say, as Christians, we have to not only have
Speaker 5: to pray for this woman and her family, but we
Speaker 5: have to act because Jesus act. He went in the
Speaker 5: synagogue and turned over all the tables because they change
Speaker 5: because people aren't acting right right. So you can't sit
Speaker 5: in your living room and be like, oh, I don't
Speaker 5: even know who that is.
Speaker 2: If you're a true Christian, well, if you be a
Speaker 2: true Christian, we can go deeper and talk about a
Speaker 2: letter of Pall to now the Church about how the
Speaker 2: church needs to be reformed because they were not doing
Speaker 2: the business as set fourth.
Speaker 5: So Christianity has become more of a title than it
Speaker 5: is an action. And your Christianity should be put into practice,
Speaker 5: and that means that when you put it into practice,
Speaker 5: you have to preach the good word and you also
Speaker 5: have to condemn things that are not right, and most
Speaker 5: Christians don't do that anymore.
Speaker 4: It's later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 2: We'll have more with Jackie Ray in just a moment
Speaker 2: as we go beyond the box Score.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 4: We continue to go beyond the box Score with Jackie Ray.
Speaker 2: If you are familiar with that theme, you should know
Speaker 2: that's Inside the NBA, the NBA on TNT. That's a
Speaker 2: very recognizable theme. In fact, if you're familiar with the
Speaker 2: show Inside the NBA, we talked about it last week.
Speaker 4: How I would say is the.
Speaker 2: Crown jewel of tnc tn t's NBA coverage with Charles Barkley,
Speaker 2: Kenny the Jet Smith, Ernie Johnson, Shaquille O'Neil, and they
Speaker 2: have others who will rotate in and out. But that
Speaker 2: show ostensibly was lost because TN T Warner Brothers lost
Speaker 2: out in the bidding war against NBC. So NBC and
Speaker 2: it also has a subsidiary of that Amazon and so forth.
Speaker 2: There are other networks including Amazon and even ESPN is
Speaker 2: out there. They're trying to get the rights to inside
Speaker 2: the NBA and bring that show over to NBC or
Speaker 2: have Live on Amazon somewhere.
Speaker 4: What do you think about that?
Speaker 5: That show is such a testament to the NBA, Like
Speaker 5: that is the biggest reason why I think fans, aside
Speaker 5: from you know, TNT is convenient and it's one of
Speaker 5: the channel's most no matter what platform you have, you
Speaker 5: have T and T, so it's convenient in that way.
Speaker 5: But that's not the real reason that I think fans
Speaker 5: were so concerned about this. It's because you literally can
Speaker 5: turn a game down in the background, but you'll turn
Speaker 5: it up at halftime just to see.
Speaker 4: Yes, the interactions running to the board all of that.
Speaker 5: And Kenny's knees not working right and he's still trying
Speaker 5: to run and Shack falling down, or Charles saying something just.
Speaker 4: About san Antonio women right, and just.
Speaker 5: Being completely oblivious as to how inappropriate he is all
Speaker 5: the time. It's like watching your old uncles talk about
Speaker 5: basketball for fifteen minutes. It's great, it's so endearing, and
Speaker 5: then then you in the midst of that, you'll get
Speaker 5: some good insight every now and then, you know. So
Speaker 5: that's one of those shows that is just it's it's
Speaker 5: a staple the NBA, and to have it go away
Speaker 5: was going to be problematic because I remember even Chuck
Speaker 5: saying he was going to retire yep, and then it's like, well,
Speaker 5: what does that mean.
Speaker 3: Who's gonna give Shock a hard time?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 2: So here is my concern, and I mentioned Amazon because
Speaker 2: they're in this. If it only lives on a streaming platform,
Speaker 2: it will miss the mark. We've seen how when you
Speaker 2: have streaming only platforms when it comes to sports, especially,
Speaker 2: it doesn't do well. The NFL with Sunday Ticket and
Speaker 2: Red Zone didn't do well on YouTube. The NFL has
Speaker 2: tried showing games on both Twitter and Amazon didn't do well.
Speaker 2: And part of the reason is not everyone has cut
Speaker 2: the cord. Not everyone can easily find Amazon or Peacock
Speaker 2: or some other streaming location to find the content people
Speaker 2: were complaining about. I can't find the the Olympic events
Speaker 2: that I want because they're on Peacock and they're on
Speaker 2: cable or broadcast television. That's my concern, and it's going
Speaker 2: to have to exist on at least a cable outlet somewhere.
Speaker 5: So I'm with you on that because when I was
Speaker 5: a even though I feel like in my heart of
Speaker 5: heart so it's a waste of money sometimes, but I
Speaker 5: was an NFL ticket girl, like I every single year,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna get the NFL ticket. And then it went
Speaker 5: to YouTube and I was like, I'm why would I
Speaker 5: do this? And I couldn't really figure out what the
Speaker 5: disconnect was for me mentally because I watch YouTube on
Speaker 5: my TV. Sometimes I couldn't figure out what the disconnect
Speaker 5: was mentally, but then I figured it out. Sometimes when
Speaker 5: I'm watching the NFL, I am watching it on my phone.
Speaker 5: But if I'm on a social media app like like YouTuber,
Speaker 5: the inclination when you have your phone in your hand
Speaker 5: is to go to other social media sites.
Speaker 4: Right, And here's the problem.
Speaker 2: Yes we may use YouTube, Yes we can cast YouTube
Speaker 2: to our TVs, but it doesn't function like a TV
Speaker 2: where I can go from channel channel I may not
Speaker 2: want to leave my TV stuck on a YouTube cast
Speaker 2: for three or four hours at a time. I may
Speaker 2: want to flip around during the commercials. I can't do that.
Speaker 3: No, And that's the WNBA.
Speaker 5: You know, I'm a diehard WNBA fan the WNBA app,
Speaker 5: even though they have an app, so it's on your TV.
Speaker 5: Same thing when you want to change the channel or
Speaker 5: just go flip to see what's it's a.
Speaker 3: Whole process to ship back.
Speaker 5: Yes, And you know, we especially Americans, and we just
Speaker 5: talked about this, we are we need it right now
Speaker 5: type of people, and we lose interest very very quickly
Speaker 5: because then it becomes half the shows that I got into,
Speaker 5: Lucifer being one of them, that Fox show that came
Speaker 5: on that came out right after a Super Bowl one time,
Speaker 5: and I couldn't find the remote, So that's how I
Speaker 5: ended up watching that show.
Speaker 3: Because we want what we want right now.
Speaker 5: It's about convenience and if I want to just change
Speaker 5: the channel real quick to see, especially sports fans, if
Speaker 5: I want to go see what's happening on this game
Speaker 5: over here, and then it's a whole production for me
Speaker 5: to I'm just not coming back.
Speaker 4: I mentioned the Olympics.
Speaker 2: Last segment, we talked about the Olympic Game's opening ceremony,
Speaker 2: the quote unquote controversy surrounding that.
Speaker 4: There have been some people like.
Speaker 2: Actress from full House and Fuller House, Cameron Candice, Cameron Buer,
Speaker 2: who's complaining And I think it's very short sighted. But
Speaker 2: there are some things coming out of the Olympics I
Speaker 2: think are worthy of discussion. In a few minutes we
Speaker 2: have left. I don't know if you heard about the
Speaker 2: Muslim judo athlete who yelled akbar at Israeli competitor.
Speaker 3: Oh, that was intelligent, wasn't well?
Speaker 2: You know, I think I think there's going to be
Speaker 2: more of that as we progress through the Olympics. And
Speaker 2: then also there's a trans woman competing in boxing.
Speaker 3: I saw that. Now that infuriated me.
Speaker 4: Come on, we know we had this discussion.
Speaker 5: That infuriated me because I am I am never going
Speaker 5: to be again.
Speaker 3: And I've said this before.
Speaker 5: I'm a huge proponent of everybody being able to compete
Speaker 5: in whatever sport that they want to compete in, but
Speaker 5: it has.
Speaker 3: To be fairfield.
Speaker 5: That's the whole sportfield and the reason why, and especially boxing,
Speaker 5: this this is the prime example, the reason why we
Speaker 5: have featherweight, lightweight, heavyweight is to make sure everything is fair.
Speaker 5: There's weight classes for this very reason. We talk about
Speaker 5: people's reach, we talk about the power of people's hits.
Speaker 3: All of this.
Speaker 5: Boxing is an entirely different sport. This is a sport
Speaker 5: where physically Fallon Fox used to compete in the UFC.
Speaker 5: Her first like six six fights, she knocked people out
Speaker 5: cold because she's a trans woman. She is a biological
Speaker 5: man competing as a woman against biological women. And you
Speaker 5: could see this immediately. And so when you're talking about
Speaker 5: sports like boxing, UFC things of that nature predicated on strength,
Speaker 5: predicated on strength, you know, absolutely not.
Speaker 3: And the fact that this is being allowed. Look, I
Speaker 3: get it. You want to.
Speaker 5: Make safe spaces for everybody to be able to do
Speaker 5: the things that they love. Then make those safe spaces,
Speaker 5: but don't infringe on another safe space for one person
Speaker 5: to make another person feel safe.
Speaker 2: Jackie Ray, we haven't done this before, but we have
Speaker 2: not had a chance to talk anything about the WNBA
Speaker 2: women's basketball in the Olympics. The women's team kick the
Speaker 2: crap out of Japan today as we knew they were,
Speaker 2: and Japan was not a bad team. No, yeah, they
Speaker 2: just could not compete. But there are other things I
Speaker 2: would love to be able to talk to you. Can
Speaker 2: you hang around for one more segment? I can, all right,
Speaker 2: let's do it.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: We have the extended dance Remix version of Beyond the
Speaker 2: box Score with Jackie Ray. Jackie, I wanted you to
Speaker 2: stay around for one more segment because there's some other
Speaker 2: stories out there we just didn't get a chance to hit.
Speaker 2: I was watching the women's Olympic team in basketball just
Speaker 2: take Japan to the woodshed. Was not a bad team,
Speaker 2: but you could just tell physically and talent wise they
Speaker 2: could not compete. Is there anyone out there who's going
Speaker 2: to provide any real competition for the women's Olympics team?
Speaker 3: So that's a good question.
Speaker 5: But here's the thing that I think a lot of
Speaker 5: people forget about the WNBA. Ninety percent of the women
Speaker 5: in the w play year round. They don't have time
Speaker 5: to rest because they don't have the pay to play
Speaker 5: just in the w So these are these are people
Speaker 5: that they played They played basketball NonStop. That's not the
Speaker 5: case in other places in the country, they have their
Speaker 5: seasons and then they're done, you know. So for this situation, no,
Speaker 5: because these women are constantly on their game.
Speaker 3: This is the best of the best. Good luck.
Speaker 2: I saw Britney Grinder playing six foot nine. Yes, I
Speaker 2: don't know if Japan had anyone who was six feet tall.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure.
Speaker 3: Uh uh they don't. I think the tallest girl for
Speaker 3: Japan is five nine five ten.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it was it was evident that there was
Speaker 2: no way in the world talented players but not that
Speaker 2: world class talented, right, And to.
Speaker 3: Be world class talented.
Speaker 5: Some of that is genetics too, because you know six
Speaker 5: I mean even Diana Tarrazzi, who is short in the
Speaker 5: w is tall. Yeah, she's tall against so it's a different,
Speaker 5: you know, taller, faster kind of thing as well.
Speaker 3: Oh, good luck though, But I but you know, Australia.
Speaker 5: I don't know where Australia is because I haven't looked
Speaker 5: as far Abo Group, as far as Red Group. Yeah,
Speaker 5: but Australia's consistently a good team, so they might give
Speaker 5: some competition if that comes about. But no, I definitely
Speaker 5: see America winning this one.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's step on some toes I've mentioned Britney Griner. Yes,
Speaker 2: she's always a lightning rod for a number of reasons.
Speaker 2: She answered some questions in an interview recently, and I
Speaker 2: think you know about this story where she was asked
Speaker 2: about parenthood and I think, if I'm not mistaken, she
Speaker 2: corrected that the interviewer who said that she was mother
Speaker 2: and she said no, I'm the father.
Speaker 3: Said so yeah.
Speaker 5: So the question was how do you feel about being
Speaker 5: a new mom, and Brittany said, pops, pops, pops. I
Speaker 5: mean she wants to be referred to as pops, so,
Speaker 5: which is obviously dad. If you know, some people call
Speaker 5: them father dad, other people call them pops. So she
Speaker 5: wants to be seen as the father figure in her home.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this because I don't remember. Does
Speaker 2: she identify as non binary? And I know you've interviewed
Speaker 2: her a number of times. Is she non binary or
Speaker 2: what else?
Speaker 4: What is it?
Speaker 5: So she and she clearly identifies as non binary. But
Speaker 5: as far as the league and you knowing that their
Speaker 5: pronouns are like they them, LESA. Clarendon for the LA
Speaker 5: Sparks was the first one to come out in that
Speaker 5: in that manner. So she goes by. She goes by
Speaker 5: she her, they them, and he him, So she goes
Speaker 5: by all of them. Brittany, when you talk to her,
Speaker 5: she doesn't correct you. If you say you know she
Speaker 5: or if you say things like that, she doesn't correct you.
Speaker 5: But that might be just because she's okay with it.
Speaker 5: But she's clearly non binary. She's she's done everything to
Speaker 5: present masculine, so she's clearly non binary.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, let's let's step on some toes, as I say,
Speaker 2: if she is non binary but presenting masculine and then
Speaker 2: insists on being referred to in a parental sense pops,
Speaker 2: which is gender specific to mail mm hm am, I
Speaker 2: wrong to be completely confused if I were to interview
Speaker 2: her in to view.
Speaker 5: Them, no, and and and that's it's a struggle. And
Speaker 5: I'm to your point stepping on some toe toes, not
Speaker 5: trying to be disrespectful, but as journalists, the written word matters,
Speaker 5: words have meaning, the grammar matters, grammar matters. So they
Speaker 5: is a group of people. They went over there. So
Speaker 5: for me, I remember the first time I read an
Speaker 5: article and it said Lejah Clarendon did blah blah blah,
Speaker 5: and then it said they, and I remember saying to myself, well.
Speaker 3: Who are else are we talking about?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 5: I didn't know because the article was about her, but
Speaker 5: I kept thinking I was. I kept going back and
Speaker 5: having to reread it because I thought I must have
Speaker 5: missed the name. So a journalist will struggle with that,
Speaker 5: and I think of a player. This is not normal.
Speaker 5: And I'm not saying that in a disrespectful way. I'm
Speaker 5: just saying referring to yourself by they them, which we
Speaker 5: are going to say they went to the store.
Speaker 3: You know, take that to your mom.
Speaker 2: Adam conjregation matters, But beyond that, if a person is
Speaker 2: non binary but insists upon a gender specific salutation.
Speaker 4: I don't know what to do with that.
Speaker 5: I stick with names, so that's my default. Like I
Speaker 5: I'll say you, I will say you, I will say
Speaker 5: the person's name.
Speaker 3: I will say Brittany, you, Brittany you.
Speaker 5: Now it gets redundant, and there's something that's called ear fatigue.
Speaker 3: We know this.
Speaker 5: If you say the same word over and over again.
Speaker 5: That's why you don't want to say things like a lot,
Speaker 5: because it gives the listener fatigue. So it does cause
Speaker 5: some listener fatigue, but that's the only way I know
Speaker 5: how to stay safe in this situation because I don't
Speaker 5: know who's doing what half the time. So I just
Speaker 5: use the person's name, you and the person's name, and
Speaker 5: that's it. But it does become difficult because what you
Speaker 5: get more so outside of that is situations like this. Well,
Speaker 5: people will say, well, you've interviewed her, what does she say?
Speaker 5: I ain't asked because there's some certain things that I
Speaker 5: just don't want to know, you know, I don't want
Speaker 5: to know what happens when you go home. I want
Speaker 5: to know, yeah, yes, what's your favorite food, what's your
Speaker 5: favorite movie? That kind of thing, surface level stuff, But
Speaker 5: once you get into the weeds of things, it takes
Speaker 5: away from the sport for me, especially in the w
Speaker 5: because there's so many different things. There's so many different people,
Speaker 5: new fans now that are just fans for all the
Speaker 5: wrong reasons, And I just don't want to get into
Speaker 5: the weeds and portray anyone in a negative light, so
Speaker 5: I just mind the game.
Speaker 2: The WNBA and the Olympics are separate entities. The people
Speaker 2: who chose the Olympic team are not the WNBA. They
Speaker 2: are people who are connected to WNBA, but those things.
Speaker 2: It's like a Venn diagram. They're not concentric circle. Sorry
Speaker 2: I had to do all that map there. But there
Speaker 2: is a question of whether the WNBA loses its big
Speaker 2: picture momentum because they have this long hiatus because of
Speaker 2: the Olympic Games, when you had this fervor for Caitlin
Speaker 2: Clark and Angel Reese and what they were doing to
Speaker 2: uplift the league. Is it something is it something that
Speaker 2: I'm overblowing or emphasizing too much about this break?
Speaker 4: Will they lose momentum?
Speaker 5: So that was something that I was very concerned about
Speaker 5: because when you don't have games, you don't have reporters
Speaker 5: telling you know, these stories or saying, oh, what you
Speaker 5: might have missed on the sidelines, which is what gets
Speaker 5: people engaged. But I will say that this this draft
Speaker 5: class has done an amazing job. Now I haven't seen
Speaker 5: anything from Caitlin Clark, but Angel Reese, Cameron Brink, even
Speaker 5: though she's injured, they've all been maintaining their social media
Speaker 5: presence and so they're keeping that buzz. They're talking a
Speaker 5: little bit of trash and so they're doing their things.
Speaker 5: So I think that'll keep the engagement a little bit
Speaker 5: and I'm hoping obviously I don't know yet, but I'm
Speaker 5: hoping the w NBA does some sort of big to
Speaker 5: do once they get back, because you're gonna need that.
Speaker 5: But thankfully, you know, the w is still being represented
Speaker 5: in the Olympics and so you're still going to get
Speaker 5: that buzz from that as well.
Speaker 4: Okay, last thing.
Speaker 2: Jason Tatum, oh lord of the world champion Boston Celtics,
Speaker 2: And I hate to say this, there was some controversy
Speaker 2: because he did not play in the first game. The
Speaker 2: coach of the men's team is Steve Kerr the Golden
Speaker 2: State Warriors.
Speaker 4: Some said it was just an oversight. Some should we
Speaker 4: make anything of it?
Speaker 5: You have to make something of it because you don't
Speaker 5: have Jason Tatum on your team. And then they let
Speaker 5: Derek what's Derek's Derek White? Derek White also plays on
Speaker 5: the Celtics. Plays on the Celtics, but nobody I almost
Speaker 5: forgot his last name, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 5: he was a late addition to the team. Jason Tatum
Speaker 5: was somebody that you sought for, sought after.
Speaker 2: Well, there's a double layer of controversy there because Derek
Speaker 2: White was added to the team instead of instead of
Speaker 2: Jalen Browns exactly.
Speaker 4: Obviously everyone knows it's a better player.
Speaker 2: The men's team said that Derek White was a better
Speaker 2: fit for the team they're trying to construct. In other words,
Speaker 2: Boston fans are very displeased at this moment.
Speaker 5: I was very displeased because Jalen is the better player.
Speaker 5: No disrespect to Derek, but Jalen is the better player.
Speaker 5: But here's the thing that really got to me, because
Speaker 5: first I saw I believe it was the Boston Globe
Speaker 5: they printed, oh, we think Jason is sick because he
Speaker 5: was the last one out of the locker room and
Speaker 5: he had on different warm ups. He went right to
Speaker 5: the bench, he didn't do shoot around. So I was like, okay,
Speaker 5: that makes sense. Maybe you know, flying this far, you know,
Speaker 5: sometimes people get sick. So I wrote it off. But
Speaker 5: then Steve Kerr did his postgame presser where he goes,
Speaker 5: you know what I talked to I talked to him
Speaker 5: about this in the locker room and told him that
Speaker 5: I was going to do some different lineups and he
Speaker 5: might not get a chance to play. First of all,
Speaker 5: that's suspicious because if you said might not, then he
Speaker 5: comes out prepared to play, but he didn't come out
Speaker 5: prepared to play. He went straight to the bench. So
Speaker 5: something happened there. I don't know what it is, but
Speaker 5: it's fishy. It's very fishy.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm quite sure we will see a lot of
Speaker 2: Jason Tatum in the second game when all hell.
Speaker 4: Is going to break last as it should.
Speaker 2: It's Later with Mo Kelly, Jackie Ray, thank you for

Speaker 2: key to manifesting abundance and prosperity is to know where
Speaker 2: your money is going and to let it flow in
Speaker 2: and out, while always doing your best to keep some
Speaker 2: extra chucked away for a rainy day. If seeking new
Speaker 2: clients or better paying job, well seize today.

Speaker 2: to Marc is a Gemini and Stefan is a cancer.
Speaker 4: Cancer. The cosmic current at this time is a bit peculiar. Cancer.
Speaker 2: As much as you're roaring to get on with projects
Speaker 2: and plans, you're also feeling a deep need to focus
Speaker 2: on development behind the scenes. For example, you could be
Speaker 2: deep in solitude, handling a proposal you want to launch
Speaker 2: later this year, or creating strategies for how you can
Speaker 2: win big down the road. Regardless, you seem quite busy
Speaker 2: behind the scenes. Take advantage of that while you're away
Speaker 2: from prying eyes. Harness this energy now, and you could
Speaker 2: find that you make great progress without the distractions of
Speaker 2: other people. Does that make sense, Stefan? That sounds actually
Speaker 2: like what's been happening the last couple of weeks. Okay,
Speaker 2: So I'll take it all right if you can get
Speaker 2: something out of it.
Speaker 4: Leo.

Speaker 2: and even more than usual. Popularity is coming especially easy
Speaker 2: for you now, as you're likely to be consumed with

Speaker 2: there and struct your stuff. On a professional note, if
Speaker 2: you're eager to tackle some big, long term goals or aspirations,
Speaker 2: harness your energy, seize today and ask those who you
Speaker 2: know you can to support you for favors.
Speaker 4: Virgo. You're always a hard worker, but you're on hyperdrive now.
Speaker 2: It's likely that you're running on fifteen cups of coffee
Speaker 2: as you race along big work projects. But if you
Speaker 2: hustle right now, you could quickly knock off minding of
Speaker 2: your big goals, or at the very least get the
Speaker 2: pieces moving in the right direction. But on a different note,
Speaker 2: if you'd like to launch a product or prop, or
Speaker 2: look for a better job, you're in luck. This is
Speaker 2: the time. Here's the key. You have to be grinding
Speaker 2: as hard as possible. Time is of the essence. If
Speaker 2: for some reason, any reason, you're not seeing the progress
Speaker 2: you want in your ambitions. You need to find a
Speaker 2: new strategy or realize that your ambitions aren't matching with
Speaker 2: where you currently stand. So if that's the case, consider
Speaker 2: a new approach or strategy. Libra, the universe feels exhilarating
Speaker 2: and exciting. It's like you're shooting through the air on
Speaker 2: a glorious roller coaster. The energy ahead of you is
Speaker 2: all about carving out a new path personally and professionally
Speaker 2: into new adventures that you've never experienced before. Is also
Speaker 2: time to truly set the stage to dance into newfound
Speaker 2: territory and leave your comfort zone behind. But on a
Speaker 2: separate note, some of you could be very busy and
Speaker 2: focused on one of the following themes academics, media publishing, endeavors,
Speaker 2: community engagement, engagement, legal situation, immigrations or long distance travel
Speaker 2: or international relations.
Speaker 4: Scorpio.
Speaker 2: This is for Twala, who's in Catalina, probably listening right now.
Speaker 2: Hopefully had a safe trip across the water and he
Speaker 2: didn't vomit.
Speaker 4: Scorpio.
Speaker 2: Partnership has certainly been a big theme for you for
Speaker 2: quite some time, but the truth in your relationships is
Speaker 2: particularly apparent now. On a positive note, you could be
Speaker 2: experiencing tremendous closeness, especially around sensuality and erotic fire. Or
Speaker 2: instead you're realizing that you're not on the same page
Speaker 2: and you need to lay down the law. If you're
Speaker 2: going through a separation, it could be quite explosive and
Speaker 2: hot and heavy at this time, or instead you're burning
Speaker 2: to lock down a settlement. Last to note, you must
Speaker 2: take extra care when it comes to your investments, assets,
Speaker 2: and wealth. You're likely spending a whole lot of money,
Speaker 2: and it's probably not what you have, Sagittarius. It's me
Speaker 2: the vast majority, the vast majority of the time, Sagittarius,
Speaker 2: you want to soar along your path and take the
Speaker 2: sky like a free bird. However, the energy of the
Speaker 2: cosmos reveals it's crucial you take a break from flying solo.
Speaker 2: You'd be wasting all that gorgeous energy for partnership. Working
Speaker 2: as a team with someone personally or professionally could get
Speaker 2: you very ahead. Now in a romantic sense, look for
Speaker 2: someone who ignites your mind and aligns with you in
Speaker 2: every way. If single. On the business side, it might
Speaker 2: be easy to find the right collaborator or associate. Right
Speaker 2: about now, Capricorn, you're a war course, Capricorn, you take
Speaker 2: great pride in what you build as you soar further
Speaker 2: toward your ambitions.

Speaker 2: Energy about being a lean, mean and green productivity machine.
Speaker 2: While it may be much harder to have a solid
Speaker 2: work and life balance with all those routines and responsibilities
Speaker 2: on your to do list, you can actually knock far
Speaker 2: more off it if you seize today, go for it.
Speaker 2: Like Rocky said on a different note, you could have
Speaker 2: much more of a focus on physical health, diet, or fitness.
Speaker 2: If you want to make improvements, do it now and
Speaker 2: you'll see a great deal of progress with some consistency. Aquarius,
Speaker 2: it likely feels like the universe is far more aligned
Speaker 2: than it has been in quite some time, especially when
Speaker 2: it comes to living in the moment and having a
Speaker 2: bit more fun. In truth, you're likely super focused on
Speaker 2: embracing and in pursuing your heart's desires. Romance, passion, sex, dating,
Speaker 2: They're all on the menu. But if your love life
Speaker 2: isn't looking like how you want it to look, you
Speaker 2: need to take big, bold actions to switch it up.
Speaker 2: If single, get out there and start looking at dating
Speaker 2: like it's a job. True love could literally be around
Speaker 2: the corner or on the internet some porn site. Pisces
Speaker 2: right now, Pisces, you're especially fired up when it comes
Speaker 2: to your home, family, and domestic life. For some reason,
Speaker 2: you're firing forward to get things done. For instance, you
Speaker 2: could be in the midst of a move, relocation, redecoration,
Speaker 2: or renovation. There's likely a lot of hustle and bustle
Speaker 2: happening at home. On a different note, the ruckus could
Speaker 2: be that people are moving in and out of your life,
Speaker 2: where you're handling important situations with your real estate portfolio.
Speaker 2: But lastly, you're likely very fired up about your feelings
Speaker 2: and emotions and could be fighting for them or standing
Speaker 2: up for them, especially in relation to situations from the past.
Speaker 2: And that is your horoscope for the week. Create the
Speaker 2: life that you desire. It's later with Mo Kelly and
