1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,120 Speaker 1: I gotta say, I'm still I'm still not quite okay 2 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:08,479 Speaker 1: with the idea of doing nothing New Year's Eve. I'm 3 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,760 Speaker 1: not okay with it. I'm fighting it, even though i 4 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 1: know I'm going to be asleep by twelve thirty, even 5 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,439 Speaker 1: though i know I'm going to be home just watching 6 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 1: the ball drop. I'm not okay with it, and I 7 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 1: should be, because there's nothing better out there for me 8 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 1: on the street, at a bar, at a lounge, whatever, 9 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: at a club. I want to and this is part 10 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: of me, maybe just my history working in the music industry. 11 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 1: We're talking about the fun that we had on New 12 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 1: Year's Eve in years past to walla I want. I 13 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,160 Speaker 1: guess in theory I would like to do more of that, 14 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: but not really because I know not only do I 15 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,560 Speaker 1: have work the next day. I just I can't keep 16 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: up like I used to. You don't want to go back. 17 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 1: Maybe it's just nothing back there. It just seems though 18 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 1: still appealing. Though I wish, I really wish I could 19 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: party all night long, but I know I can't. New 20 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: Year's Eve was a night in which I would stay 21 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,839 Speaker 1: up most of the night, well into the morning, sun 22 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: coming up, and I miss some things of that I 23 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 1: had some good time, some good New Year's Eves. But 24 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know, I don't want to. 25 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 1: I here it is. I did not ever want to 26 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 1: turn into that guy whose New Year's Eve was only 27 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: sitting at home watching TV watching quote unquote Dick Clark. 28 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: Now it's Ryan Seacrest. I didn't want to be that guy. 29 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: But you know what, I am that guy. I love 30 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,759 Speaker 1: that guy. I love that guy. I love being that guy. 31 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: The only thing that ever makes sitting at home watching 32 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: the ball drop better is if you are with someone 33 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: special who is also equally interested in just being at 34 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: the house with you watching the ball drop. And there 35 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: is something to be said for that. Yes, I'm just 36 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: saying that was a night in my previous years that 37 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: I usually would be out and each year, and we 38 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: talked about it earlier in the week, like, Hey, when 39 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: are you going to start thinking about what you're gonna 40 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: do for New Years? And I knew right then my 41 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: house is going to be in the house watching TV. 42 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: And then I as we get closer to it, it's like, gosh, 43 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: I've turned into the very person I didn't want to be. 44 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: Now I'm not saying like I turned into my father 45 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: because my family back in the day when I was 46 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: a kid, they still had like a house party. And 47 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: I know Eric was talking about a house party. They 48 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: would have a house party. People would come over, we 49 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: would play cards, we would cook for the next day. 50 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: Especially in black households, we'd be cooking black eyed peas 51 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: and greens, you know, and black eyed peas were about 52 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: good luck for the next year. So I mean, even 53 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: that would have been enough. Now, the other part of 54 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: me is like, mo, you just had thirty five people 55 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: in your house for Christmas. You don't want to and 56 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: dogs and dogs, yes, so you don't want to have 57 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: that again for New Year's Eave. But I'm just saying 58 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,239 Speaker 1: I just want to do something. I don't know what, 59 00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: but I know it's not going to be anything, because 60 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: ultimately it's best that I stay my butt in the house. 61 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: But I just don't want to watch TV. But in 62 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 1: previous years, when I was watching TV, because usually I'm working, 63 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: like I am this New Year's Eve, I actually look 64 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: forward to the anchors on CNN, especially Don Lemon, getting 65 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: super drunk and exhibiting really bad judgment. I like that, 66 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: why because it's almost like reality TV. It was the 67 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: train wreck that you couldn't turn away from, and you 68 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: knew that they probably shouldn't be doing it, but they 69 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: did it anyway, and you knew that they were going 70 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: to get a tattoo or say something, which is ridiculous, 71 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: and in terms of the buttoned up world of cable 72 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: news media, I actually liked that. I actually liked the 73 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: train wreck. It was not good for the network though. 74 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: It wasn't good for the personalities who were hosting it, 75 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: but that wasn't my problem. I don't care if someone 76 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: lost their job. If you get liquored up and get 77 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: on radio or TV and you lose your job, that's 78 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: on you, boo. That's not having anything to do with me. 79 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: So I like the possibility of someone getting fired for 80 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: being drunk on the air. And I've known people who 81 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: got drunk on the air who got fired. Yeah, I know, 82 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: it is a real thing. And CNN kinda with a 83 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: wink and a nod said okay, So they turned a 84 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 1: blind eye to it because they saw the ratings. Though 85 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: they saw they saw ratings like they had never seen before. 86 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 1: They were beating every other ball drop program out there, 87 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: because you, like you said, you have these buttoned up 88 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: hosts who are all about business every other time you 89 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: watch them, and then on New Year's Eve they're drunk. 90 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: They're saying Lord knows what, and you watch it because 91 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: you want to see what the Neverwika's gonna allow what 92 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: they're gonna allow. Yeah, Now, as we know, CNN has 93 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: new leadership, new direction. They've changed not only the programming, 94 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 1: but also the expectations of their on air talent. Still 95 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 1: with the network, they let a lot of people go, 96 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: and they made it very clear that they're not going 97 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 1: to allow their anchors like Don Lemon or whomever else 98 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: to get boozed up Under Year's Eve. Boo. Now, all 99 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 1: I can say is I know I will not be watching. Yeah, 100 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 1: not that I was watching for news content, but you 101 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,919 Speaker 1: putting that out there in advance, I wouldn't have told anyone. 102 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: Why would you announce that. To announce it is to 103 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: say you should not tune in for that reason. You're 104 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 1: also letting the competition know that they should take that on. 105 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: Anyone else can say, you know what, we're going to 106 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: go on and let our hosts get liquor because they're 107 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 1: not well counter program Now here's the truth. If you 108 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,679 Speaker 1: actually believe that the anchors were not drinking. On some level, 109 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: you are kidding yourselves, but they weren't getting drunk. I'm 110 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 1: quite sure they had some champagne or maybe a drink 111 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: here or there over the six hours that they're probably broadcasting. 112 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: I would assume that, but to say explicitly they're not 113 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: going to get drunk when that was the best part 114 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: of the coverage and you had Andy Cohen and Anderson 115 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: Cooper making quips about Ryan Seacrest, they got a lot 116 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: of news coverage after about that. A lot of people 117 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 1: tuned in just to see them say something really inappropriate. 118 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 1: And I think that's why Ryan Seacrest has put it 119 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: out there that he's really really happy that they're not 120 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 1: going to allow the drinking on Seeing M because he 121 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: was targeted lots of times because he's like, well, I'm 122 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: not going to drink. Well here straight, here's the thing, 123 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,679 Speaker 1: and we've had this conversation before. Does the ball drop 124 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: even matter anymore? Does it? Yeah? I don't know. And 125 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: Ryan Seacrest, he's taken over for Dick Clark, and so 126 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 1: the rocket New Year's Eve is now Ryan Seacrest, And yeah, 127 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: Ryan seacrests can't have fun like other anchors. But you know, 128 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 1: life isn't fair. I have plenty of Ryan Seacrest stories 129 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: that I can't tell. Life is not fair. Okay, so 130 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: if someone took a shot at Ryan seacrests on one occasion, okay, 131 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: so what you know? Worst things have been said about 132 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: Don Lemon and Andy Cohen honestly, yeah, so if anything, 133 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: you know he's a little thin skin when it comes 134 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: to that. But can't tell all those stories. But for 135 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: that to be the reason that people are tuning in 136 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: to watch the liquor, it up hosts and guests and 137 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: everyone and maybe the performances, which are never really all 138 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: that stunning. But if you tune in for the liquor 139 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: and now all you're getting is a straight laced, you know, 140 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: almost anti fun New Year's Zve presentation, Why do you 141 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: go to see it in? You wouldn't. Here's a thing. 142 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: It is a night of party ing. Who in their 143 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: right mind is watching cable news on New Year's Eve? 144 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: Can I chime in here? Please? Please? Do? I miss 145 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: Kathy Griffin because she made CNN fun on New Year's Eve. 146 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: She was hilarious and she got railroaded when they cut 147 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: her off I wish they would bring her back. Well, 148 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: that's a part of the whole drunk quotient. It was 149 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: a non news affair. There's no reason to watch a 150 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: cable news outlet close to midnight at all, There's no reason. 151 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: That's why you brought in in Andy Cohen. That's why 152 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: you brought in a Kathy Griffin. That's why you allowed 153 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: the anchors to get drunk, because it was a festive atmosphere. 154 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: No one really wants to hear about the January sixth 155 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 1: Committee of the Latest Findings New Year's Eve. Sorry that 156 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: no one cares what's going on in political America at 157 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: that time. No one cares what the president might be 158 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: doing the ring in the New Year, nobody. I love 159 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: Kathy Griffin on the spot, calling stuff out as it's happening. 160 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: She didn't have to be drunk. She was on fire 161 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: every single time that she was on, and you watched 162 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: it because of how she was making fun of anyone 163 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: that was on that that was drunk and just making 164 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: us laugh with her. I root for the train wreck. Yeah, 165 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: I root for someone getting drunk and falling down on 166 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: stage while they're doing their quote unquote news hit. I 167 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: want that and to take that away just means that 168 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 1: I have no reason to watch. Not that I was 169 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,199 Speaker 1: tuning in to CNN to see CNN. I was tuning 170 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: in because Don Lemon was getting drunk and hitting on people. 171 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: That was funny to me. I didn't see him hit 172 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: on people. Go back, and I've seen him get good 173 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 1: and loaded on the air. Though that is funny to 174 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: see it's funny. And to take that away. Now, I 175 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: understand they want to make it a new CNN. I 176 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: get all that. I get all that, but I don't 177 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 1: think they gain anything by taking the fun out of it. 178 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: There's a way that they could have done it and 179 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: maybe put parameters where you can't get sloppy drunk, you 180 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: can't go get tattoos stuff that they've done in the past. 181 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: They could have done that, but they chose not to. 182 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: And so you know, now it's just me and Ryan c. Chris. 183 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 1: I wish Dan Rather would have gotten drunk on TV. Oh. 184 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 1: I would have loved to have seen like Mike Wallace, Yeah, 185 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:24,199 Speaker 1: the old old timers that Walter Cronki, Yeah, get Morley 186 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: Safer an extra Brandy here, Come on, wouldn't you want 187 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: to see that? Yes, this is the John A. Kinshow 188 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 1: k if I ATE six forty. We're live everywhere on 189 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio apps, get spicy on Twitter. People are hitting 190 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,679 Speaker 1: me at mister m'kelly, m R M O K E 191 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: L L Y. This comes from Justin Time five six 192 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: one nine. I'll just call him Justin at mister m'kelly. 193 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 1: Interesting show on CAFI caf I, But I disagree with 194 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: on where these diseases are coming from. This is in 195 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: relation to the measles story about how some eighty children, 196 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: mostly unvaccinated in Ohio have contracted measles. Twenty nine have 197 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: been hospitalized. A's for context. He goes on, you can't 198 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: blame it on the people I was talking about people 199 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,439 Speaker 1: in our feelings about vaccines have led to this. Blame 200 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: it on the federal government with the southern border wide open. 201 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 1: Blame five to ten million illegal aliens from for bringing measles, smallpox, 202 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: polio to the US. Well, the polio outbreak was in 203 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: New York, the state of New York, and this measles 204 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:33,479 Speaker 1: outbreak was in Ohio. I'm not exactly sure how migrants 205 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: walking across the southern border only infected people in state 206 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: of New York. And Ohio. But the story about the 207 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: measles was in Columbus, Ohio, and last I checked, Ohio 208 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: wasn't connected to the southern border. Maybe they walked across 209 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 1: the southern border and they got on a plane and 210 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: went directly to Columbus, Ohio and infected everyone there. Maybe 211 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 1: that's possible, but that's not what the story was. It's 212 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 1: also interesting, and I looked this up because I was 213 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:11,559 Speaker 1: just curious, Um, how most of these states, counties, districts, 214 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 1: what have you where we're seeing these outbreaks are in 215 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 1: Trump voting area? Why? Why? Why you gotta blow up? 216 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: Why you got up my Twitter? I'm just saying that 217 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: you need to I'm not even talking about individual I'm 218 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 1: not even talking about the police, not talking about the politics. 219 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 1: But that is in response to this political tweet that 220 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: you received. But but it's weird. But it's weird. It 221 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 1: is it is. I wasn't talking about the politics, but 222 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: they want to make it about the politics. That's talk 223 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: about the federal government. It's weird. How are you going 224 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,079 Speaker 1: to say how something happened in Ohio and only happened 225 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 1: in Ohio, but it's just because of people who walked 226 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: across the border. Yeah, in the Texas, And I mean 227 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: I rebut your political response with yet another political response. 228 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: I see your politics, and I raised about your Twitter. No, well, 229 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: I was gonna say they might have gotten on a bus. 230 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: The Texas governor put them on and then just forgot 231 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: about after once he let it leave the state. But 232 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,199 Speaker 1: then it would have shown up in Washington, d C. Right, true, 233 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: what's the connection to Ohio? That was my thing? If this, 234 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: if this story we're in Texas, I would say that's 235 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 1: a possibility, that's a possibility. But for you to say 236 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: it's because of Mexicans or Venezuelans walking across the southern 237 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: border that people in Ohio have measles when none of 238 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: the people in Ohio are immigrants from what we know 239 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: and what we know from what we've read, nor in 240 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 1: New York were they Because when they talk about an outbreak, 241 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: they're not talking about an outbreak of just Americans. No. Oh, 242 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: it's just weird. It's just a weird responses. I would 243 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 1: have I would have believed it more if it was 244 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: because immigrants have walked over the northern border into Ohio 245 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: from Canada. I mean, we're just disregarding basic science here. 246 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,559 Speaker 1: And that's the problem. If there's any talie in and 247 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: you're disregarding basic geography and science, the likelihood that a 248 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 1: disease is going to come across the border with an 249 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:17,439 Speaker 1: undocumented illegal immigrant and skip over four states in between 250 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: to only end up in the state of Ohio to 251 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: infect one particular city, an enclave, an enclave of eighty 252 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: plus children that were all what mo unavascinated. How they 253 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: were right, That's what I'm saying. If they were vaccinated, 254 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: then there's a likelihood that they would not have seen 255 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: the same numbers. It's not one hundred percent guarantee. None 256 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: of the vaccines are none of them, even the heritage vaccines. 257 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: But for you to skip, i mean literally skip over 258 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: all those states to just blame illegal immigration and the 259 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: federal government, it's weird. That's a weird. That's why I 260 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: wanted to Rebut Twitter a weird gives out your whole 261 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: kiss that's lepped up, that's effed up because the responses 262 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: only come to me for something. And you know what, 263 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: they can't tell black people's voices all so they you 264 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: said Trump, No, I did not, and they will swear 265 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: up and down you said it on the John and 266 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: Kins Show. No, I did not. You blamed it on Trump, 267 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: No I did not. I didn't even mention anything about 268 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: the politics or the politicians. I said nothing about that. 269 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: I said that because we as people politicize the vaccines, 270 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: the COVID vaccines. As an unintended consequence of that thinking, 271 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: vaccines overall have gone down as far as the number 272 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 1: of people being vaccinated, and because of that, we have 273 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: seen the rise in certain diseases among the unvaccinated. All 274 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: these diseases that have been popping up New York, Oile 275 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: and elsewhere in the Midwest, these are all cases that 276 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: have been evolved unvaccinated children. Each and everyone eaching, every 277 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: one of these reports is coming from unvaccinated. That thing 278 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 1: needs to be stressed. Look, I mean, I wish I 279 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: could just make up the facts of the story. I 280 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: wish I could, because if I could, then I can 281 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: better engage people who are going to disregard geography, who 282 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: are going to disregard science. If this happened in Texas, 283 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: we could have that discussion. But we can't have that 284 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: discussion about what happened in Ohio. We can't. You know, 285 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: It's interesting, like one of the reasons that me and 286 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: my co parent are all about vaccinating our children is 287 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: because of the number of parents that we know of 288 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 1: in California who do not want to vaccinate their children. 289 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: Who wants us in the way? Way school left out 290 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: something very important. You're also an administrator out of school 291 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: and you get to see this how this impacts other 292 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: school children. Oh yes, all the top. I know how 293 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: this happens. I know how you can have children who 294 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: are unvaccinated coming in to your school and then being 295 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: susceptible to any number of viruses and getting super sick 296 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:21,199 Speaker 1: and then hitting your children. Fortunately, yeah, we're smart enough 297 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: to get our children vaccinated. Okay, before we go to 298 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: this break, I just want to go first grade geography 299 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 1: very quickly, very quickly. Assuming these undocumented illegal immigrants walked 300 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 1: across the Texas border, they would have to since they 301 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: don't have their own cars, assumably they're walking. They're walking. 302 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 1: They would have to cross Texas, Arkansas or Oklahoma Missouri, 303 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 1: then maybe go east into Kentucky and then up to 304 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 1: Ohio to infect just the people in Columbus with no 305 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: help from anyone. That's a lot of walk talking. This 306 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,479 Speaker 1: is Johnny Ken Show. Mokelly here k if I am 307 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 1: six forty. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Keep 308 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: the feedback coming. I love it, and yes I am 309 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: personally responding to you. It's not Tuala who was less 310 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: reservations about giving out his own Twitter. He'll say whatever 311 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,199 Speaker 1: on the radio and then say at mister m'kelly on 312 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,719 Speaker 1: social media like I'm the one who sent it. Now 313 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 1: I'm going to hit me up on Twitter and let's 314 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,399 Speaker 1: keep the conversation going. Hopefully it's polite in nature. Some 315 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: of you have not been so polite. Something else I 316 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,719 Speaker 1: want to talk about as we get closer to the 317 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: new year, And these are some stories that really blow 318 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: my mind. TikTok influencer and this came to me by 319 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 1: way of producer Dana. TikTok Influencer says men should be 320 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,360 Speaker 1: ashamed if they late if they make less than four 321 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars a year. And this was a story 322 00:18:58,320 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 1: which came out last week, but I didn't have a 323 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: chance to get to it, and Dana came to me 324 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,880 Speaker 1: today and said, mo, I think you need to talk 325 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: about this. I said, why should I talk about this? 326 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 1: Because people need to hear your perspective on this. I said, 327 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: they don't need to hear my perspective on this, and 328 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: then she was emphatic, no, they need to hear your 329 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: perspective on this. Okay, So I'll give you my perspective 330 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: on this now. First, the whole idea of a TikTok 331 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: influencer is an oxymoron to me, The fact that social 332 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:28,159 Speaker 1: media has people who do nothing but sort of influence 333 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: people by their postings. No, it's just public idiocy, that's 334 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 1: all it is. And some people like it, some people don't. 335 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: But Eric, do we have the audio on this, dude? Yes, okay, 336 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,360 Speaker 1: let's hear this dude. I don't even want to say 337 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,880 Speaker 1: his name. If I made four hundred grand a year, 338 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:47,159 Speaker 1: I would be embarrassed with myself as a husband, a father, 339 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: basically as a human being. Four hundred grand. How do 340 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:55,120 Speaker 1: you make sense of thirty five thousand dollars a month? 341 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,880 Speaker 1: You guys haven't done the math. You have not done 342 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: the math because you cannot live on four hundred grand. 343 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 1: Here show I've been living on less than four hundred 344 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 1: grand a year for all my life. I'm very much 345 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: alive right now. I'm very much a man too, and 346 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: I'm very much unashamed. Now, if I wanted to make 347 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,360 Speaker 1: a serious response, it would be something like this. This 348 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: is a guy knowing the social media world enough to 349 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 1: say something seemingly incendiary in nature, inflammatory, ridiculous in nature, 350 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: and knowing it's going to be picked up by other 351 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 1: social media sites. It's going to go viral on social media, 352 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 1: and it will end up on radio light. Now, so 353 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: good on him knowing how to game the system if 354 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: you want to have a serious analysis of what he's saying. 355 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:50,640 Speaker 1: If money or amassing a salary or investments of more 356 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: than four hundred thousand dollars by definition made you a 357 00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:00,440 Speaker 1: better man or made you less a share aimed as 358 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 1: a man, then by definition, anyone who's wealthy would be 359 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: worthy of emulating. Anyone in Hollywood would be worthy of emulation. 360 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:18,120 Speaker 1: Anyone who's a politician or elected official. Many of them 361 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 1: do make more than four hundred thousand dollars a year 362 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,880 Speaker 1: through salary and other things. Not trying to be flippant, 363 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: they would be worthy of emulation. Kanye West makes four 364 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 1: more than four hundred thousand dollars a year. Do I 365 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 1: need to go further with him? Donald Trump made them 366 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 1: more than four hundred thousand. Yes, I said his name, 367 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: more than four hundred thousand years of a year. Does 368 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 1: that mean just because he makes more than four hundred 369 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year that he is worthy of emulation? 370 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: Just that right there? Any player in the NBA, any 371 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: player in the NFL, any player in the National Hockey League, 372 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: they all individually and collectively make more than four hundred 373 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year. And this guy, Grant car Dome 374 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 1: says that any man who makes less than four hundred 375 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year should be ashamed of themselves. Of what, 376 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: I manage my money pretty damn well, parstilely, because I 377 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:20,880 Speaker 1: went through foreclosure back in two and eleven. I don't 378 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: live beyond my means. I'm very frugal. I don't have 379 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: any material vices. In other words, I don't buy clothes 380 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: just to impress people that I don't know with money 381 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: I don't have for reasons which don't make any sense. 382 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:38,400 Speaker 1: I don't do that. I don't buy shoes or suits 383 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 1: as if I'm trying to impress someone. I don't have 384 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: a very expensive car. I don't even have a car. Note, 385 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: I live in a very financial sensible way. Financially, I 386 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 1: don't need more money. Necessarily, I'd like more money, but 387 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,239 Speaker 1: it's not a measure of my manhood. It's not a 388 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 1: measure of how I feel about myself. And I do okay. 389 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, I do okay. But at no 390 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: point did I look at the mirror and say, now 391 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: I'm a real man, or now I'm proud of myself 392 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: because my check is a little bit larger than before. 393 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 1: That has never been the case now. As a man, 394 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,400 Speaker 1: I always want to feel as if I can provide 395 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 1: for my family. That's a different discussion, but that's not 396 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 1: even a dollar amount. That's how you live. Being able 397 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 1: to provide for your family is about being available, being 398 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 1: a model husband, being a model father or father figure. 399 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: If I want those things, then definitely I would be 400 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,160 Speaker 1: ashamed of myself. But it's not going to be whether 401 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 1: I make a certain amount of money in a given year. 402 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,159 Speaker 1: There have been some real good years and there have 403 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 1: been some really bad years. For lack of a better phrase, 404 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:58,880 Speaker 1: I mean really bad years. And if I tethered my 405 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:04,199 Speaker 1: self worth to my bank account net worth, well, then 406 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,120 Speaker 1: I probably would have killed myself A long time ago. 407 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 1: I'm just being very serious. I just can't get caught 408 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: up in that. When I started working here at KFI 409 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 1: True Story, I was making minimum wage part time True Story. Now, 410 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:24,439 Speaker 1: if my self worth was tied to that, I wouldn't 411 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 1: have been here today and I wouldn't be back tomorrow. 412 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:32,199 Speaker 1: And yes, I'm gonna be back tomorrow, haters. So that 413 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 1: was t Wallah. He said that to Walla, said that, 414 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:38,160 Speaker 1: I did not say that. What are you laughing at, Dana? Yeah? 415 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: Oh oh okay. Day three and I finally said one 416 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 1: thing funny. Jay Leno said, I said something funny on Monday, 417 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 1: and you didn't even laugh. I was laughing, oh internally, right, 418 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 1: but not externally. Yeah, I know that was pretty damn funny. 419 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 1: Thank you. All right, we should make this the promo 420 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: that they sent out for the rest of the week. 421 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: Dana laughing at me, and it was a half ass laughed. 422 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 1: It was half hearted. Do it again, Dana, Yeah, yeah, 423 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 1: We're gonna isolate that and make that a drop for 424 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: the rest of the show. But here's honestly, Dana, thank 425 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: you for the story. But we should be able to 426 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: separate a real statement and something which was said just 427 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 1: to get news coverage and conversation, because no one in 428 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:32,920 Speaker 1: their right mind, in their right mind, actually believes that 429 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: men should be viewed along the lines of how much 430 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,360 Speaker 1: money they make over and above four hundred and thousand 431 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: dollars a year. Okay, Wow, I agree. I agree with you. Okay. 432 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 1: I wasn't sure for a second because you were laughing, 433 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: so I didn't know if you were agreeing with me 434 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,639 Speaker 1: or agree with the sentiment of this fool. No, I 435 00:25:55,720 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: agree with you. Are you laughing at me or not? No? JOHNA. 436 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: Kenshok By AMC forty, We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio 437 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: app One more time, Dana. Bill Cosby is back, Doll 438 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 1: Bill Cosby, if you've heard in the CAFI News report, 439 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 1: he's eyeing a return to touring next year. In a 440 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: December twenty eighth radio interview on WGH Talk with hosts 441 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,639 Speaker 1: Scott Spears, Cosby answered yes when asked if twenty twenty 442 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,239 Speaker 1: three is the year he might finally be able to 443 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 1: tour again. I say this as someone who worked in 444 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,880 Speaker 1: the music industry and by extension, the touring industry for 445 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: quite some time. What they're not telling you is just 446 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 1: because Bill Cosby wants to tour or plans to tour. 447 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,360 Speaker 1: It does not mean that he is either secured venues 448 00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: or that he even has the financial backing to pull 449 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 1: off a tour. And I know, Twala, you know something 450 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,639 Speaker 1: about this as well, the money that you need up front, 451 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: as far as deposit insurance and a guarantee as far 452 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 1: as ticket sales. When you are a person like Bill Cosby, 453 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: who for the most part, for the most part, is 454 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: persona non grata, that's pretty daunting. Just because Bill Cosby 455 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: saying he's going on tour. He might be doing small 456 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,719 Speaker 1: little clubs, comedy clubs, and the owner may give him 457 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: a time to do ten fifteen minutes, but he's not 458 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: He's not doing any type of large venues. No, no, no, 459 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 1: this is not like say on par with the Dave 460 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 1: should pay right. He's not doing that. He's not doing 461 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 1: any arenas. He's not selling out any venues. This is 462 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 1: more a tour based on maybe I'm gonna call them 463 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:58,640 Speaker 1: small venues who want the spectacle of having Bill Cosby 464 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,920 Speaker 1: on their on their lineup. The media coverage would be 465 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,640 Speaker 1: that alone. They want that because no one is shelling 466 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 1: out within their right mind, big money for Bill Cosby 467 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 1: who I believe is well passed his comedy prime. Let's 468 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,199 Speaker 1: be real, he's eighty five years old, and there's probably 469 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 1: not a large market to sell to. In other words, 470 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,640 Speaker 1: who are you selling tickets to people fifty years old 471 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,639 Speaker 1: and up? Or to those individuals who want to come 472 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,959 Speaker 1: in and see if he's gonna say something. You know, 473 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: individuals who are as ridiculous as this influencer who insists 474 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 1: you have to be making some ungoly amount of money 475 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 1: to be a man. Anyone who wants to hear a 476 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: train wreck on stage, Anyone wants to hear him if 477 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: he's gonna talk about his freedom or the unjust rulings 478 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: or whatever he wants to spin it, Yeah, you'll be 479 00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: in the audience for that. Usually comedians, in my conversations 480 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 1: with them, they talk about using a good five six 481 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: months to go out and work on material, practice the materials, 482 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: see if it works in certain types of audiences in 483 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 1: certain cities, small venues, larger venues, and I don't see 484 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 1: that here now. His representative, Andrew Wyatt, says that Bill 485 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 1: Cosby is looking at spring or summer to start touring. 486 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: Maybe he's going to try to do that in the 487 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: next three to four months. I don't see whether it 488 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: is the literal or figurative audience. I don't see whether 489 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 1: there's any clamor or desire for Bill Cosby other than 490 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 1: maybe the first concert, just to your point, to see 491 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 1: what he'll say, whether he'll address his right trial and 492 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 1: subsequent Still, there's still legal issues that he's dealing with. 493 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 1: He's not clear in that regard. There's some lawsuits, there's 494 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: some things that he still has to deal with. And 495 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 1: Bill Cosby is not Eddie Murphy. In other words, both legends. 496 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: One is active, the other is not. Eddie Murphy is 497 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 1: not necessarily active in a stand up comedy sense. But 498 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 1: he's doing movies. He's doing Beverly Hills Cop four, which 499 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 1: is going to be on Netflix. He did Coming to 500 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 1: America two. There's still a desire to see Eddie. And 501 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 1: that's my point, if we were to make any type 502 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 1: of comparison, I don't know if there's any real desire 503 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 1: for Bill Cosby. Can he sell out a coffeehouse? Sure, 504 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 1: I'm sure he could. Yeah, canny fill up a Starbucks? 505 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 1: Can he fill up a high school cafeteria? I mean, 506 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 1: canny fill up a venue of one hundred one hundred 507 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 1: and fifty people. I'll give him that. Is that worth 508 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 1: what an eighty five year old needs to do? Is 509 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 1: that really bring him any money? No, he's touring because 510 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: he can't get a TV project sold anywhere. There's no 511 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: need for an eighty five year old man to be 512 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 1: on tour, and his past TV projects have all been 513 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 1: pulled from most every network, So he's not getting that 514 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:02,560 Speaker 1: residual money at all. He's bills to pay, He's got 515 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 1: a lifestyle that he has to maintain. Will a pile 516 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 1: up on the freeway get people to slow down and 517 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 1: look at it? Yes, it will. But that's about all 518 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 1: this is. I'm a firm believer and just in case 519 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 1: you don't know where I stand on Bill Cosby, The 520 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 1: mo Kelly Show was probably one of the first outlets 521 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 1: in the country to speak out against Bill Cosby after 522 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 1: the original allegations came out. After the original story of 523 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: the comedian who talked about Bill Cosby's alleged issues on stage, 524 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,479 Speaker 1: we were the first to talk about it and go 525 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: in on him. And I'll say now what I said 526 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 1: then you may not believe all sixty sixty five women, 527 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 1: but for Bill Cosby to be innocent to not be 528 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 1: a rapist, to not be someone who engaged in sexual assault, 529 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 1: we would need to know that every woman, in every 530 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:59,720 Speaker 1: portion of every allegation was one hundred percent untrue. It's 531 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 1: not about whether he raped thirty women all you need 532 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 1: one and I believe the multitude of women. I don't 533 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 1: need to believe every portion of every part of every 534 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 1: testimony of every allegation for me to believe that Bill 535 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: Cosby took advantage of someone. And I just look at 536 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 1: the deposition in his original Andrea Constand case, which was 537 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: thrown out, which was part of the reason how he 538 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:30,239 Speaker 1: got out of jail, because prosecutors included the deposition and 539 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 1: his words when legally they should not have. That's what 540 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 1: got him out. He was not freed on the merits 541 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 1: of the case. It was a technicality. But in that 542 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 1: deposition he made it very clear that he was using 543 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 1: these quayludes to have sex with women, with no respect 544 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 1: to whether they are aware of whether they were receiving 545 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 1: quayludes or his larger intentions. His words, his words, words, 546 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 1: his exact words, and also work in entertainment. This was 547 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 1: remember how I was talking about Whitney Houston a couple 548 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,480 Speaker 1: of days ago, and how her drug addiction was an 549 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 1: open secret, but no one really said anything, did anything 550 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 1: because it was Whitney. There were so many people who 551 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 1: were making money off of her because of her, it 552 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 1: just kept on going. I'm a firm believer. It was 553 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 1: the same thing with Bill Cosby in the sense of 554 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:29,720 Speaker 1: he was such a huge worldwide star pre Internet. The 555 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 1: Cosby Show was so huge that in many ways he 556 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 1: might have been untouchable in the sense of we didn't 557 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:40,600 Speaker 1: even have the term date rape or acquaintance rape until 558 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: the nineteen nineties, so people weren't even or even marital's rape. 559 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:50,720 Speaker 1: Those weren't even considerations back during the time in which 560 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 1: a number of these allegations, the incidents, alleged incidents took place, 561 00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 1: So it took society a long time to catch up 562 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 1: to even what Bill Cosby was allegedly doing. But I 563 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,360 Speaker 1: remain and he's you know, he's welcome to sue me 564 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 1: if he wants. I just happened to believe that the 565 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 1: multitude of women were taught telling the truth. And his 566 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,239 Speaker 1: going back out on tour it says to me that 567 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,479 Speaker 1: he has no other way to make money because there's 568 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:26,760 Speaker 1: no reason a person of Bill Cosby's caliber and a 569 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 1: movie and TV history should need to go out on 570 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 1: the road to make money unless you are in financial 571 00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:39,839 Speaker 1: desperation eighty five years old. And nobody's clamoring to see 572 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:43,440 Speaker 1: Bill Cosby other than wanting to see the first night 573 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,400 Speaker 1: of the side show. It's not like even the comedy 574 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:50,239 Speaker 1: community has said, hey, we embrace you, Bill. Why don't 575 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 1: you come out on tour with us, Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock. 576 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,919 Speaker 1: We're gonna put our arms around you and say the 577 00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 1: comedy community loves you.
