Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI A six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Later with mo Kelly. We're live on YouTube right now.
Sperm Racing is real and it is already taking people's money.
Tickets have already gone on sale as of noon today
for the very first sperm race A word word, I'm
(00:27):
not making up any of this. There will even be
a microscopic racetrack for two sperm samples to compete. The
course mimics reproductive system and includes chemical signals, fluid dynamics,
and synchronized starts. Every move that the sperm makes is
tracked by high resolution cameras and live stream.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
There will be video.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
There will even be stats, leaderboards and instant replays. The
first race is going to be in April twenty fifth.
We're talking fewer than two weeks from now. This is
what sperm Racing the company have to say.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Quote.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
We're turning it into a spectacle. I think press conferences,
weigh ins, live stream races with play by play commentary,
and of course betting, whether it's athletes or celebrities. Imagine
backing your icon in the weirdest, most entertaining event you've
ever seen far be it from me to ask questions
(01:29):
about this.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
I wonder.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I mean, I assume the sperm can only run one
race or swim one race, right, They can't like compete
more than once, can.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
I No is the finish line and egg?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
They don't say that, but they do say that there
are chemical dynamics to it. So there's probably some sort
of lure out there. They have to swim towards something
to get them to go with the direction that they're going. Yeah,
like Greyhound Racing have a fake rabbit out there, maybe
have a fake egg or something.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
I'm afraid to look it up on a company computer
to find out.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I refuse to. That's why I'm just reading from the story.
I'm not going to get caught out there like that.
I don't trust the government. It was tough enough pulling
this story. All right, here we go.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Let's get it all out right now.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Okay, let's just if we can't just eject all the jokes,
just get it all out there, expunge all the jokes there.
That's right, I know, all the jokes that are just
wadded up inside of you.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Just wad it up. There's no choking in this story. Well,
sometimes you get joke build up or joke back up?
Can you get blue? Uh joke?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
No? No, no no, don't stay away from that. Stay
away from that.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
But I will say.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
This, this probably will make money. Oh, it's just from
morbid curiosity. People will not only tune in, it's another
way for people to bet and make money. I don't
know how good the camera work is going to be.
I don't want to see the sperm, you know, practicing beforehand.
I don't need to see any of that. I'm not
(03:07):
so sure I'm even going to tune in. But I
know it's going to make money because the moment I
saw marble racing during the pandemic, I knew that something
like this could work. Because we are fiending for any
type of athletic event, air quotes or anything that we
can bet on and make money. And if people are
(03:30):
willing to bet money on this, it will make money.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
I mean this is athletic, though, I mean in a way.
I mean, swimming is a sport, isn't it. And plus
the video game they call them athletes. Yeah, the guys
that play professional video games.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Now, I wonder, though, in a in a general sense,
who's providing the athletes.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
That's why I wonder, like, how do they get the
athletes out of the shoe?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Okay, when a man loves a woman not I'm just saying, but, like,
you know, like is it do do do? Are the
participants going up to the starting gate and then they
have to release the athletes?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
I'm not exactly you know, I don't know how they
check them in for the event. I'm not sure what.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Is the starting gate? Is it like a foe?
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Well, see, the thing is, I'm under the impression from
my just I figured it out from my biology class.
Usually they start swimming when there's inspiration provided.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Yes, I don't I don't.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Know if they're going to store the athletes in a
location and then release them later.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
That's the way to cheat, because you can absolutely cheat
with the frozen athletes manipulating with performance enhancing.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Yes, I don't know how this is going to work. Mark,
tell us how it's going to work.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Well, I'm sure that you wouldn't want to prep the
athletes until just before the event. Correct. I have to wonder,
I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
You know, you can't come out to start and get cold.
The hell, you can't shrink as alongs make it impossible
for the athletes to run.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
It is interesting though, how that's going to start and
what would pull the actual athletes to the end finish.
They have to have a coach. You got like a fluffer?
What do you got?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Look what I'm saying. It seems like, how do you
say go to the athletes at the same time nonverbally?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Okay, yes, can I take a break yet?
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Stephan's no, Yeah, you're almost there.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
You're almost ready.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
You know, I'm curious in terms of questions. I don't
needy see it, but I need someone to explain it
to me how it's supposed to work.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
I don't know who wrote this diagram? Up? Do use pencil?
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yes, it's like a kid they okay, they have a
pencil diagram of the track, and I'm telling you it
was done on a notepad with a number two pencil
inside of thirty seconds. Yes, it's a swimming event of sorts.
Of sorts. Oh my god, I mean it's a track
race too. Let's five year old?
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Did that? Y? Are any of them named after famous swimmers?
Do you know where I'm going with this? Yes?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I do, I do. We're not sure as far as
who is doing the underwriting for these athletes.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Who's a sponsor? Not Mark Spitz quite possibly?
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Well you have.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Eric zoo Thor Adventures, Nick Small, Mark Swallow sold out
of Crypto.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Oh wow, it took you a while for that, didn't they?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
He just ran all by that because this is wow.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Jeez.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Nick Small, who is the youngest sold out fan founder
of Crypto, Shane fan Waterfall Market, Garrett whose last name
I cannot pronounce, who is an ex mister or Beast
team member.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Garrett Girse. If you've got a Nick Small, Garrett, Garrett,
can I go to break now? Step now? We can
be you.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
It's late with Mokelly.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
You can't buy AM six forty and YouTube and the
chat I know is out of control.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
I don't even want to ask. I can't even envision
reading any of their questions on there.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
It just start over.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I gotta I gotta see something, all right, Carne should
give us one question that we can talk about.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Someone said, who will be the sponsor? Magnum Elmers No
not Elmers? No no no no no more like k
why Elmers? O? K? Why Ky? Why good sponsor? Charman,
the Napkins? Someone are clean x cleen X's yeah, someone said,
(08:05):
spits the sunflower season. I can see that. I can
see I like you whoever said I like it. I
enjoyed my final night on that. We're not coming back tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
At this point, you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly
on demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Later with Mo Kelly. We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio
app and also simulcasting live on YouTube at mister mo' kelly.
I follow presidential politics very closely. I've worked on local campaigns.
I have advised some exploratory committees for people who were
(08:43):
possibly running for president. I live, eat, and breathe this stuff.
I happen to have a radio show. I do some
political commentary for BBC and also Spectrum Networks. But I
I can promise you I'm in no way qualified for
(09:04):
becoming president. I'm in no way qualified, and I say
that with great humility because I have too much respect
for the actual job to think that I could possibly
do it. I mentioned my personal resume because when you
have someone like Stephen A. Smith who's a host of
(09:25):
First Take on ESPN and a podcaster and occasionally does
political commentary, our resume is not our fame, But our
resumes are comparable, and I would say that mine probably
exceeds his. When it comes to actual politics and political work,
he dabbles it in it only by way of commentary.
(09:46):
Now and then, what is weird is lately he signed
a major contract, and in that contract, as an ESPN employee,
he's now been given permission to speak freely about politics.
Heretofore you could and do that as an ESPN employee.
Now with this big contract, he is the face of
ESPN and he is talking politics just about every day,
(10:08):
either on the show or on his podcast. You may
see him do interviews with Sean Hannity, or he may
sit down with some other cable news hosts. But yesterday
he was on ABC's Sunday shows and yes, ABC ESPN,
both under the umbrella of Disney. So that's not a surprise,
(10:29):
that's just cross promotion. But I was very surprised and
disappointed that ABC News has legitimized Stephen A. Smith and
his delusions of grandeur as far as possibly being a
presidential candidate. The whole idea that Steven A. Smith and
I want to play the audio for you says that
he had no choice but to consider running for president.
(10:53):
No choice, He says, if someone else doesn't step up,
then he may have no choice but to throw it
in the ring, like he's going to be the one
to step in the breach should somehow save all of us.
I was very disappointed in ABC ABC News and Jonathan
Carll Carl for conducting this interview and elevating Steven day
(11:14):
Smith's why. I respect as a sports journalist, but he
in no way should be considered in any way a
presidential candidate. That's that's not even worth joking about. Here
is the conversation in short. You know, I saw you
mentioned Bill Maher.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
I saw Steve Bannon was on with Bill Maher and
he was asked what democrats he worried about, and you.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Know what, the only name he mentioned as a Democrat
he'd be worried about.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
So are you are you really?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Are you really thinking about running for president? Is this
something you think?
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Listen, I've been.
Speaker 6 (11:43):
I have no choice because I've had elected officials and
I'm not going to give their names, elected officials coming
up to me.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
I've had folks who are pundits come up to me.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
I made folks that got a lot of money billionaires
and others and have talked to me about exploratory committees
and things of that nature. I'm not a politician. I've
never had to designe to be a politician. I just
signed a contract extension with ESPN. I am very very
good one too. With my day job. I'm very happy
with my bosses. Is a pretty damn good one.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Just right.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
It's a pretty damn good contract. I couldn't be happier.
But here's the reality. People, literally people will have walked
up to me, including my own pastor for crime out loud,
who has said to me, you don't know what God
has planned for you. At least showed a respect to
the people who believe in you, who respect you, who
believe that you can make a difference in this country,
to leave the door open for any possibilities two to
(12:32):
three years down the line.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
And that's what I've decided to do.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
But again, whether it's Wes Moore, Governor Wesmore, who I know,
Governor Joshapila from Pennsylvania, while I know Andrew Cualmore, who
I had the pleasure the interview, and who's trying to
get back in things and be the mayor of New
to be the next mayor of New.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
York, et cetera.
Speaker 6 (12:48):
I see a lot of people that obviously and clearly
are more qualified than me.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
That's where it s just stopped right there. I see
a lot of people who obviously should be more qualified
than me. Thank you, But I'm not qualified. That's how
it should have ended. We all have delusions of grandeur
a time. But to think that you can be president
of the United States because your friends and powerful people
come up to you is insulting our intelligence. Yep, some
(13:18):
of my best friends tell me I should be president.
Rich and powerful people politicians.
Speaker 6 (13:25):
But in the same breath, when you think about what
Trump is getting away with, when you think about what
you brought up about Steve Banner, who's trying to be
slick because he's looking at a non political individual like myself,
looking at me as a populist. But you yeah, you've
got to be careful what you ask for because some
of the stuff that Trump and the writers been trying
to get away with, like circumventing the twenty second Amendment
of the Constitution, talking about how there could be.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
A third term.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
Excuse me, be careful what you wish for, because if
any GOP member. If any Republican supports that, I don't
want to hear a word out of their mouth ever
again about the following the constitution, the Constitution, the constitutions
that they've been living off for years. And then you're
talking about circumventing the twenty second Amendment and you think
that's cool. No way, that's not something that we since
(14:08):
we should stand for.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
So I would hope.
Speaker 6 (14:10):
Somebody else would step up that's more qualified than me.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Anyone who steps up is more qualified than you. And
that is the main point. Anybody I would be more
qualified than Stephen A.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Smith.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
And I say that with facts behind my name, and
I would never be qualified for president of the United States.
Not the international policy, not the domestic policy, not commander
in chief, not sending our soldiers off to war, not
in any way being able to lead this nation and
be leader of the free world. I am humble enough
(14:44):
and confident enough in my own ego to know that
I am in no way qualified. But I'm more qualified
than Steven Nate Smith.
Speaker 6 (14:51):
But if it has to come down to me, it
is something.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
I would consider.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Yes I would, But he made if it has to
come down to you, you will never have to come
down Stephen A.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Smith. Never ever, not ever. It will never come down to,
oh my gosh, what are we gonna do?
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Is it going to be Kamala Harris or Stephen A.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Smith.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
No, it will never be a sum, you know, a
zero sum decision of where.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
It's going to be this or that.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
It's going to be this person or Stephen A.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Smith.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
We have no other choice.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
We have no choice but to consider Steven A.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Smith as a viable candidate for President of the United States.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Get the frick out of here.
Speaker 6 (15:28):
But if it has to come down to me, it
is something I would consider. Yes, I would, because I
don't mind the thought of tussling with these folks at
or on the left or the right.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
All of them disgusted me, to be quite.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Honest with you, they disgusted you.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
They discussed Steven A. Smith.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
What a bold statement. I don't know Steven A. Smith,
but we have done battle on TV before. This was
years ago. Marks, May I know this one?
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Really? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (15:54):
We were both on Hardball with Chris Matthews many years ago.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Okay, I only say that to say he has been
he's been wanting to put his foot in this pool
for many years now, And what degree of narcissism would
you have to have sunk to to feel like you're
you're answering the clarion call having never done any public
service whatsoever. This is borderline god complex. It has to
(16:20):
be me. I'm the only one.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
If no one else steps up, I might have no.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Choice but to save America. That's a god complex. Yeah,
we have medications for that, Yeah they do. They don't
always work though. No more on this in just a moment.
It's Later with mo Kelly k IF I AM six
forty live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app and YouTube.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Kelly, We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app and also
YouTube at mister Kelly. I'm right in this conversation if
you will, or monologue rant about Stephen A. Smith, who
made it clear that he has no choice but to
consider running for president. And I was making the point
and this is very much going to be a part
of my final thought where I really want to expand
(17:16):
upon this and expound upon it that just because you
have opinions, just because you don't like who's in office.
It doesn't in any way mean that you are qualified
to be leader of the free world. And Carnacia, you
had a comment in the chat that I wanted to
address directly.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
I want to say, come on, mo, I'm not a
fan of Stephen A. Running either, but he is more
diplomatic and far more intelligent than Trump, who also has
zero experience. Traditional politics are dead.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Okay, there's traditional politics and there's governance. Regardless of what
you may feel about Stephen A. Smith or Donald Trump,
they did not have the requisite experience to become president.
I'm a firm believer that competency is more important than personality.
(18:14):
I believe that because we have a deficiency of civics
and don't understand how our actual government works, we then
turn to personalities instead of competency. Competency is understanding how
a federal government works and the tens of thousands of
peoples and the different agencies that you'd be responsible for.
(18:37):
Competency is being able to manage not only a foreign policy,
but a domestic policy. Competency means that you've had some
sort of preparation for that, and you're not just spouting
off the top of your head. Yes, Donald Trump is
now president. But that is not evidence of competency. That is,
(18:57):
to me, evidence of our willingness to disregard competency. We
live in a television age. And you hear some of
this again at the end of the show. We live
in a television age and this goes back to JFK
and Richard Nixon in the first televised debate ever that
forever changed. Are politics since you want to use the
(19:18):
word politics, Yes, we are a visual society. We care
more about being entertained than we are competently being led.
And there are things that politicians and elected officials actually do,
but far too many of us don't know what those
things are. And now we have people walking in off
(19:40):
the street and think I can be president of the
United States. No, you cannot. Can you be elected?
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (19:46):
And there's a difference. Just because people have chosen you
doesn't mean that you're inherently qualified. There are a lot
of people who will run for president, and very few
of them will be competent enough to steer this country
if need be. And that's separate from politics. Politics is
(20:07):
about ideology. Politics is about belief system. Politics is about
the policies that you want to pass that.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
You want to.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Part of your presidential resume. That's politics, the strategy of
getting elected, the strategy of getting last passed. I'm talking
about the competency of being able to run a government.
I'm talking about the competency of being able to handle
international issues as well as domestic issues, being able to
(20:39):
be of sober mind and judgment when it is really necessary.
And just because you're articulate, just because you happen to
have a personality which is either attractive to you or
more amenable to you, doesn't mean the person is competent.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
If I change President of the United States to American
Airlines pilot, you would instantly know what I'm talking about,
because you can see the immediate consequences of a lack
of competency and how people could and would die. But
since people don't usually make that direct connection between the
actions of a president and the deaths of Americans, they think, oh,
(21:19):
it's okay, Well, he's just you know, he's Trump is
Trump or Stephen A.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Smith and Stephen A Smith that you can't take him literally.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Oh you.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
It's not a performance piece.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Next you'll be telling people that you don't support President
Dwayne the Rock Johnson.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Remember when I said, I let me put it this way.
I don't want to overstate my role, but I was
in conference with someone who specifically was talking to Dwayne
the Rock Johnson and setting up his focus groups for
his exploratory committee and running for president. That's a real thing.
(22:00):
It's still a real thing. He is still actively considering
running for president. Can you tell me now, because you
like his on screen persona, that Dwayne the Rock Johnson
is less competent or more competent than Steven A. Smith.
I can read you both their resumes. It's one hundred
percent entertainment, one hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
We're moving closer and closer to the president Camacho of idiocracy.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
I think we've surpassed that on no comment. I think
we have. And if you've seen the movie, they're there.
The theatrics are pretty much the same. The only thing
which isn't the same is the attire. That's about it.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Well, did you see the way Kid Rock was dressed
in the Oval office last week? Yes?
Speaker 2 (22:41):
It was exactly hit.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
I mean you know this is I because I love America,
and if you love America, you care about America, you
care what happens to America. You care who leads America.
You care about the direction of America. And we can
argue about policy. We can about what's the best way
to go, whether it's a conservative ideology or progressive ideology,
(23:06):
but we should not debate competency. I use the airline
pilot as an example. We can talk about a doctor.
Do you care more about the doctor being competent or
being funny or doing great TV. We have a number
of members of our presidential candidate whose primary qualification is
(23:26):
television hosts. And I'm not exaggerating. That's not competency, that's personality.
I like my pilot's competent. I like my doctor's competent.
I like my election elected officials competent. You know, if
that makes me a bad person, Okay, guilty has charged.
I require competency. Now you can have your own set
(23:49):
of qualifications for whomever you vote for. Maybe it's the
length of their hair, Maybe it's the color of their skin.
Maybe you know, it's the height of the individual. Well,
maybe it's the way they part their hair. You know,
presidential candidates are supposed to part their hair on the
left side. That's a real thing. By the way I
could be president.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
That's a real thing about the part I'm counting on
your support, I'm saying, But how you choose to vote,
why you choose to vote, is your thing, I'm telling you.
For me, I have the competency discussion first and foremost.
Who would I feel more comfortable with during a national
(24:28):
crisis or an international crisis. And we can go back
and forth about what check marks that you would put
in a box for this person or that person. I
just know if the best argument you can make for
someone is if they.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Are a sports host or an analyst. Going back to
stephen A. Smith, then we're not having a conversation about
competency because I have more qualifications than stephen A. Smith.
And I sure as hell know that I have no
damn business anywhere near the White House as the president,
at least as a visitor. You know, maybe the Oval
(25:03):
Office hanging out having a drinker. So take the Lincoln
Bedroom for a test drive and call it a day.
That's right, me and Monica Lewinsky, I'm out. That's what
he said.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Oh I heard Twalla laughing. So I should be working.
I should be Ginny at least two ripshots grudgingly.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
That's what she said. Caf IM six forty one Live Everywhere,

We're almost I think we're like nine hundred and fifty. Yeah,
it's not that many. It's like a thousand is nothing
in the world of social media. So come join the party.
Here's your horoscope for this week. Aries. This is a
(26:14):
time for aries to celebrate the return of the sun.
Happy return of the Sun to you Aries. In a
recent documentary about actress Power Mused and fellow aries, Anita
Pallenberg her son Marlin remarked that Pallenberg's desire to not
be a victim saved her from the depths of a
devastating drug habit. Sober but no less electric, Pallenberg went
full Phoenix in the second half of her life, living
(26:35):
full and free and precisely as she pleased. As the
sun highlights your first house of the self, I encourage
you to adopt a similar defiance. No matter who you've been,
the cape you've worn, or the role you've played, refused
to be anyone but the storied, well dressed hero of
your own epic saga. And that kind of goes back
to what I was saying last week in one of
my final thoughts about being your biggest cheerleader at all times.
(26:58):
I co signed that with that Taurus. As April ends,
the new moon in Taurus is a prime time for
dirt magic. Upon the death of his wife, English poet,
painter and fellow Taurus Dante Gabriel Rossetti leased a new
home and filled its garden with exotic animals, including but
not limited to, a pair of wombats and a two can,
(27:19):
whom he dressed in a cowboy hat. That's weird. Whatever
your kink is. Whatever your kink is, it's yours. Was
it grief or freedom that inspired this passion for nature?
Perhaps there is no difference, as both create space and
opening in the world to explore. As the sun in
aries highlights your twelfth house of endings, I encourage you
to welcome the limitlessness of such emptiness and think of
(27:43):
the delicious and absurd ways you can fill your own
proverbial garden Semini, this is Mark Ronner, Let's have it.
Geminis will have to ask themselves a few questions next month.
A Mongolian proverb holes that quote, one hundred friends are
more valuable than one hundred pieces of gold. Close quote
as airy season highlights your eleventh house of community and
(28:05):
collective energy. Jim and I, how do you conceive of
and invest in those around you? If time is our
true currency, are you spending it well and spinding it
with those who enrich and inspire? If not, it may
be time to dig deeper.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Nice gargling, don't waste time. Mark. Yeah, that's sobering, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
You are a little bit older than all of us.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
We're going to the movies. That's what this means. Yeah,
that's what that means. Yeah, you're investing in your crew.
Are we bringing Grandpa in there with us? Who? Daniel? No? You?
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Oh no, I don't have any grandchildren.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Cancer.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
This would be Stephan. Let's go ohay cancer. For the
bulk of the month, Mars, our planet of war and winning,
will be rounding out his tour of duty. In your sign,
the Lord of War is ill at ease in the
sign of cancer. Yet, I think there is an important
lesson to be learned in this final push if you
will allow a domestic metaphor, consider that every action is
(28:58):
a stitch and the quality of the quilt is directly
proportional to your ability to be both visionary and pragmatic.
Whatever the hell that means, Lego, Leo's will fill inspired
next month.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
The sun is a fellow fire sign. Oh, Carnaesia, youre Leo. Okay.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
The sun is a fellow fire sign. Lights up your
ninth house of expansion and inspiration. Leo, a little lesson
in nature for you. Rather than hibernating deep in the
water resources, like many of their species, wood frogs freeze
themselves solid to endure the long months of winter. They
bet down on the forest floor and cease to breathe, move,
or even generate a heartbeat. No one knows what ignites
(29:39):
the wood frog's heartbeat after this extended spell of suspension,
but it might be that the frog thaws from the
inside out, alongside the land, and much earlier than their
water dwelling brethren. I offer you the wood frog as
an example of what can be gained by slowing down,
standing still, and working with your elemental nature and the
cycles of your own spontaneous ignition.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
I was wondering what they had to do with leos.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
I have frogs. Yeah, I don't know, lions, frogs, whatever.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Virgos.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Have to keep a few things in mind this April.
It's widely known that the glory of a pearl is
born from grit, irritation and violation virgo. Yet, as you
embark upon airy season, highlighting your eighth house of sex, death, resources,
and regeneration, it feels pertinent to note that the word
pearl comes from the Latin for leg.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
This is thought to be a reference to the shape
of the oyster itself, but in the interest of poetry,
I suggest it says something else. The gift of grit
always allows us to stand tall and step forward. All
pain is of preparation. Every setback is a new start.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
Libra.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
April is all about navigating relationships. For Libra's Hello, Libra,
the sun and ares sets fire to your seventh house
of partnerships. I recently read that female gladiators routinely fought
in ancient Rome. Unlike their male counterparts, these women did
not fight to the death, but rather to the draw.
Coming from all backgrounds, they took up the sport of
sparring to strengthen their bodies for childbirth, make money, and
(31:08):
be buoyed by the roar of the crowd. I hope
you consider these ancient athletes as you navigate your relationships
this month with Libra. Remember that conflict is a conduit
and there is usually a way for everyone to win. Scorpio,
this is Tuala.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Let's go, Scorpio should let motivation be their driving force
this month. Recently, over co over Coffee, a favorite Scorpio
detailed his latest marathon attempt. When I asked him if
he would run the course again, he said, of course,
I have to take my revenge on it. I suspect
you can identify with the sentiment as the sun and
airs activates your sixth house of daily habits. I encourage
(31:45):
you to adopt a motivational ritual that pushes you forward.
So be it.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
If spie is what moves you, Yes, right, spide them,
Yes see petty let that motivate. This is Sagittarius.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
Me April is all play and pleasure for the Sagittarius sign. Yes, sir.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
I've recently read a short story about a woman who
gets an erotic thrill from listening to the recorded sound
of irregular heartbeats. As air season highlights your fifth house
of pleasure, play, love, affairs, and creative endeavor. Sagittarius, I
encourage you to find something that arouses a similar feeling.
I invite you to listen closely and keep a wide
eye fixed on wonder as you explore not just what
(32:25):
beats strongly, beats strangely in others, but what sings to
the source in you. Hush mark, don't leave it a
law mark, Yes, leave a law mark, Capricorn. Capricorns need
to trust themselves this upcoming month. The focus for you
this month is the ties that bind and the roots
that hold. The sun and ares burns a hole in
(32:46):
the front door of your fourth house of origins and ancestry.
Rather than be bogged down by all that came before,
I challenge you, in the spirit of spring and the
onset of new Year, to be emboldened by it. Aquarius,
nothing is wrong with talking to yourself from time to time.
And I got to say, as a sage, I talk
to myself every single day, every single day. Nobody loves
me like me.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
No one will listen to my full conversation like me,
because in real life everyone cuts me off.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
My wife cuts me off all the time. So that's
why I talk to myself. I don't get interrupted. Do
you finish off conversation?
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Sure? Do you start?
Speaker 2 (33:21):
I hear Daniel out there laughing, Aquarius, nothing is wrong
with talking to yourself from time to time. In his
song Renewed Ambition rapper and Aquarius King Kevin Gates explains
that he, like all geniuses, talks to himself. There it
is there, It is as the sun and areas cast
its like on your third house of communication. I urge
(33:41):
you to take a page out of Cag's playbook or
rate your life and give voice to the questions, qualm's
ideas and all that ails. It avails you talk to
yourself like every answer is built into the echo, because
of course it is. I'm going to take that as
my horoscope. And lastly, Pisces April concludes a trying venus
retro grade for Pisc's. As we conclude in this your
(34:04):
sign month, Pisces, I feel compelled to share a message
with you my favorite Pisc's recently had me over for
their screening of her favorite films nineteen seventy one. Harold
and Maud hate that movie. Towards the end of the movie,
it's just boring. It's just a boring movie. It was
a reason the co classic whatever. Towards the end of
the movie, Harold confesses his love for his older paramore
(34:25):
and she responds by saying, oh, that's wonderful. Now go
love some more. Whomever you are pining for or recovering from, Pisces,
think of them as kindling for a future fire. And
that is your horoscope or horrorror scope for this week.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
You can't take someone else's horoscope, Mom, you have to
take your own.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
I'm taking someone else's. I wanna talk to myself some more.
Back on to go have a fabulous conversation with myself.
You are your own best audience. That's right. I'm having
a conversation right now. I'm just not letting you all.
I know, I believe that either. Look, I would kick
his ass and he said that to me. Foh, now,
(35:07):
I'm serious. No, I'm serious.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
No, she's cute.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
I mean if I were thirty five years younger. But no,
oh oh, you guys are still here. Can if I
am six forty just waiting for the two of you
to finish. We're live everywhere the iHeartRadio app and YouTube.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
K f I M, k OST HD two Los Angeles,
Orange County lock everywhere on the iHeart Radio app.
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI A six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Later with mo Kelly. We're live on YouTube right now.
Sperm Racing is real and it is already taking people's money.
Tickets have already gone on sale as of noon today
for the very first sperm race A word word, I'm
(00:27):
not making up any of this. There will even be
a microscopic racetrack for two sperm samples to compete. The
course mimics reproductive system and includes chemical signals, fluid dynamics,
and synchronized starts. Every move that the sperm makes is
tracked by high resolution cameras and live stream.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
There will be video.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
There will even be stats, leaderboards and instant replays. The
first race is going to be in April twenty fifth.
We're talking fewer than two weeks from now. This is
what sperm Racing the company have to say.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Quote.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
We're turning it into a spectacle. I think press conferences,
weigh ins, live stream races with play by play commentary,
and of course betting, whether it's athletes or celebrities. Imagine
backing your icon in the weirdest, most entertaining event you've
ever seen far be it from me to ask questions
(01:29):
about this.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
I wonder.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I mean, I assume the sperm can only run one
race or swim one race, right, They can't like compete
more than once, can.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
I No is the finish line and egg?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
They don't say that, but they do say that there
are chemical dynamics to it. So there's probably some sort
of lure out there. They have to swim towards something
to get them to go with the direction that they're going. Yeah,
like Greyhound Racing have a fake rabbit out there, maybe
have a fake egg or something.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
I'm afraid to look it up on a company computer
to find out.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I refuse to. That's why I'm just reading from the story.
I'm not going to get caught out there like that.
I don't trust the government. It was tough enough pulling
this story. All right, here we go.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Let's get it all out right now.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Okay, let's just if we can't just eject all the jokes,
just get it all out there, expunge all the jokes there.
That's right, I know, all the jokes that are just
wadded up inside of you.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Just wad it up. There's no choking in this story. Well,
sometimes you get joke build up or joke back up?
Can you get blue? Uh joke?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
No? No, no no, don't stay away from that. Stay
away from that.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
But I will say.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
This, this probably will make money. Oh, it's just from
morbid curiosity. People will not only tune in, it's another
way for people to bet and make money. I don't
know how good the camera work is going to be.
I don't want to see the sperm, you know, practicing beforehand.
I don't need to see any of that. I'm not
(03:07):
so sure I'm even going to tune in. But I
know it's going to make money because the moment I
saw marble racing during the pandemic, I knew that something
like this could work. Because we are fiending for any
type of athletic event, air quotes or anything that we
can bet on and make money. And if people are
(03:30):
willing to bet money on this, it will make money.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
I mean this is athletic, though, I mean in a way.
I mean, swimming is a sport, isn't it. And plus
the video game they call them athletes. Yeah, the guys
that play professional video games.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Now, I wonder, though, in a in a general sense,
who's providing the athletes.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
That's why I wonder, like, how do they get the
athletes out of the shoe?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Okay, when a man loves a woman not I'm just saying, but, like,
you know, like is it do do do? Are the
participants going up to the starting gate and then they
have to release the athletes?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
I'm not exactly you know, I don't know how they
check them in for the event. I'm not sure what.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Is the starting gate? Is it like a foe?
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Well, see, the thing is, I'm under the impression from
my just I figured it out from my biology class.
Usually they start swimming when there's inspiration provided.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Yes, I don't I don't.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Know if they're going to store the athletes in a
location and then release them later.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
That's the way to cheat, because you can absolutely cheat
with the frozen athletes manipulating with performance enhancing.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Yes, I don't know how this is going to work. Mark,
tell us how it's going to work.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Well, I'm sure that you wouldn't want to prep the
athletes until just before the event. Correct. I have to wonder,
I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
You know, you can't come out to start and get cold.
The hell, you can't shrink as alongs make it impossible
for the athletes to run.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
It is interesting though, how that's going to start and
what would pull the actual athletes to the end finish.
They have to have a coach. You got like a fluffer?
What do you got?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Look what I'm saying. It seems like, how do you
say go to the athletes at the same time nonverbally?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Okay, yes, can I take a break yet?
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Stephan's no, Yeah, you're almost there.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
You're almost ready.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
You know, I'm curious in terms of questions. I don't
needy see it, but I need someone to explain it
to me how it's supposed to work.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
I don't know who wrote this diagram? Up? Do use pencil?
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yes, it's like a kid they okay, they have a
pencil diagram of the track, and I'm telling you it
was done on a notepad with a number two pencil
inside of thirty seconds. Yes, it's a swimming event of sorts.
Of sorts. Oh my god, I mean it's a track
race too. Let's five year old?
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Did that? Y? Are any of them named after famous swimmers?
Do you know where I'm going with this? Yes?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I do, I do. We're not sure as far as
who is doing the underwriting for these athletes.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Who's a sponsor? Not Mark Spitz quite possibly?
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Well you have.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Eric zoo Thor Adventures, Nick Small, Mark Swallow sold out
of Crypto.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Oh wow, it took you a while for that, didn't they?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
He just ran all by that because this is wow.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Jeez.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Nick Small, who is the youngest sold out fan founder
of Crypto, Shane fan Waterfall Market, Garrett whose last name
I cannot pronounce, who is an ex mister or Beast
team member.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Garrett Girse. If you've got a Nick Small, Garrett, Garrett,
can I go to break now? Step now? We can
be you.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
It's late with Mokelly.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
You can't buy AM six forty and YouTube and the
chat I know is out of control.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
I don't even want to ask. I can't even envision
reading any of their questions on there.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
It just start over.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I gotta I gotta see something, all right, Carne should
give us one question that we can talk about.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Someone said, who will be the sponsor? Magnum Elmers No
not Elmers? No no no no no more like k
why Elmers? O? K? Why Ky? Why good sponsor? Charman,
the Napkins? Someone are clean x cleen X's yeah, someone said,
(08:05):
spits the sunflower season. I can see that. I can
see I like you whoever said I like it. I
enjoyed my final night on that. We're not coming back tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
At this point, you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly
on demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Later with Mo Kelly. We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio
app and also simulcasting live on YouTube at mister mo' kelly.
I follow presidential politics very closely. I've worked on local campaigns.
I have advised some exploratory committees for people who were
(08:43):
possibly running for president. I live, eat, and breathe this stuff.
I happen to have a radio show. I do some
political commentary for BBC and also Spectrum Networks. But I
I can promise you I'm in no way qualified for
(09:04):
becoming president. I'm in no way qualified, and I say
that with great humility because I have too much respect
for the actual job to think that I could possibly
do it. I mentioned my personal resume because when you
have someone like Stephen A. Smith who's a host of
(09:25):
First Take on ESPN and a podcaster and occasionally does
political commentary, our resume is not our fame, But our
resumes are comparable, and I would say that mine probably
exceeds his. When it comes to actual politics and political work,
he dabbles it in it only by way of commentary.
(09:46):
Now and then, what is weird is lately he signed
a major contract, and in that contract, as an ESPN employee,
he's now been given permission to speak freely about politics.
Heretofore you could and do that as an ESPN employee.
Now with this big contract, he is the face of
ESPN and he is talking politics just about every day,
(10:08):
either on the show or on his podcast. You may
see him do interviews with Sean Hannity, or he may
sit down with some other cable news hosts. But yesterday
he was on ABC's Sunday shows and yes, ABC ESPN,
both under the umbrella of Disney. So that's not a surprise,
(10:29):
that's just cross promotion. But I was very surprised and
disappointed that ABC News has legitimized Stephen A. Smith and
his delusions of grandeur as far as possibly being a
presidential candidate. The whole idea that Steven A. Smith and
I want to play the audio for you says that
he had no choice but to consider running for president.
(10:53):
No choice, He says, if someone else doesn't step up,
then he may have no choice but to throw it
in the ring, like he's going to be the one
to step in the breach should somehow save all of us.
I was very disappointed in ABC ABC News and Jonathan
Carll Carl for conducting this interview and elevating Steven day
(11:14):
Smith's why. I respect as a sports journalist, but he
in no way should be considered in any way a
presidential candidate. That's that's not even worth joking about. Here
is the conversation in short. You know, I saw you
mentioned Bill Maher.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
I saw Steve Bannon was on with Bill Maher and
he was asked what democrats he worried about, and you.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Know what, the only name he mentioned as a Democrat
he'd be worried about.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
So are you are you really?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Are you really thinking about running for president? Is this
something you think?
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Listen, I've been.
Speaker 6 (11:43):
I have no choice because I've had elected officials and
I'm not going to give their names, elected officials coming
up to me.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
I've had folks who are pundits come up to me.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
I made folks that got a lot of money billionaires
and others and have talked to me about exploratory committees
and things of that nature. I'm not a politician. I've
never had to designe to be a politician. I just
signed a contract extension with ESPN. I am very very
good one too. With my day job. I'm very happy
with my bosses. Is a pretty damn good one.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Just right.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
It's a pretty damn good contract. I couldn't be happier.
But here's the reality. People, literally people will have walked
up to me, including my own pastor for crime out loud,
who has said to me, you don't know what God
has planned for you. At least showed a respect to
the people who believe in you, who respect you, who
believe that you can make a difference in this country,
to leave the door open for any possibilities two to
(12:32):
three years down the line.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
And that's what I've decided to do.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
But again, whether it's Wes Moore, Governor Wesmore, who I know,
Governor Joshapila from Pennsylvania, while I know Andrew Cualmore, who
I had the pleasure the interview, and who's trying to
get back in things and be the mayor of New
to be the next mayor of New.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
York, et cetera.
Speaker 6 (12:48):
I see a lot of people that obviously and clearly
are more qualified than me.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
That's where it s just stopped right there. I see
a lot of people who obviously should be more qualified
than me. Thank you, But I'm not qualified. That's how
it should have ended. We all have delusions of grandeur
a time. But to think that you can be president
of the United States because your friends and powerful people
come up to you is insulting our intelligence. Yep, some
(13:18):
of my best friends tell me I should be president.
Rich and powerful people politicians.
Speaker 6 (13:25):
But in the same breath, when you think about what
Trump is getting away with, when you think about what
you brought up about Steve Banner, who's trying to be
slick because he's looking at a non political individual like myself,
looking at me as a populist. But you yeah, you've
got to be careful what you ask for because some
of the stuff that Trump and the writers been trying
to get away with, like circumventing the twenty second Amendment
of the Constitution, talking about how there could be.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
A third term.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
Excuse me, be careful what you wish for, because if
any GOP member. If any Republican supports that, I don't
want to hear a word out of their mouth ever
again about the following the constitution, the Constitution, the constitutions
that they've been living off for years. And then you're
talking about circumventing the twenty second Amendment and you think
that's cool. No way, that's not something that we since
(14:08):
we should stand for.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
So I would hope.
Speaker 6 (14:10):
Somebody else would step up that's more qualified than me.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Anyone who steps up is more qualified than you. And
that is the main point. Anybody I would be more
qualified than Stephen A.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Smith.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
And I say that with facts behind my name, and
I would never be qualified for president of the United States.
Not the international policy, not the domestic policy, not commander
in chief, not sending our soldiers off to war, not
in any way being able to lead this nation and
be leader of the free world. I am humble enough
(14:44):
and confident enough in my own ego to know that
I am in no way qualified. But I'm more qualified
than Steven Nate Smith.
Speaker 6 (14:51):
But if it has to come down to me, it
is something.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
I would consider.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Yes I would, But he made if it has to
come down to you, you will never have to come
down Stephen A.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Smith. Never ever, not ever. It will never come down to,
oh my gosh, what are we gonna do?
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Is it going to be Kamala Harris or Stephen A.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Smith.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
No, it will never be a sum, you know, a
zero sum decision of where.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
It's going to be this or that.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
It's going to be this person or Stephen A.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Smith.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
We have no other choice.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
We have no choice but to consider Steven A.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Smith as a viable candidate for President of the United States.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Get the frick out of here.
Speaker 6 (15:28):
But if it has to come down to me, it
is something I would consider. Yes, I would, because I
don't mind the thought of tussling with these folks at
or on the left or the right.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
All of them disgusted me, to be quite.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Honest with you, they disgusted you.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
They discussed Steven A. Smith.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
What a bold statement. I don't know Steven A. Smith,
but we have done battle on TV before. This was
years ago. Marks, May I know this one?
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Really? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (15:54):
We were both on Hardball with Chris Matthews many years ago.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Okay, I only say that to say he has been
he's been wanting to put his foot in this pool
for many years now, And what degree of narcissism would
you have to have sunk to to feel like you're
you're answering the clarion call having never done any public
service whatsoever. This is borderline god complex. It has to
(16:20):
be me. I'm the only one.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
If no one else steps up, I might have no.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Choice but to save America. That's a god complex. Yeah,
we have medications for that, Yeah they do. They don't
always work though. No more on this in just a moment.
It's Later with mo Kelly k IF I AM six
forty live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app and YouTube.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Kelly, We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app and also
YouTube at mister Kelly. I'm right in this conversation if
you will, or monologue rant about Stephen A. Smith, who
made it clear that he has no choice but to
consider running for president. And I was making the point
and this is very much going to be a part
of my final thought where I really want to expand
(17:16):
upon this and expound upon it that just because you
have opinions, just because you don't like who's in office.
It doesn't in any way mean that you are qualified
to be leader of the free world. And Carnacia, you
had a comment in the chat that I wanted to
address directly.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
I want to say, come on, mo, I'm not a
fan of Stephen A. Running either, but he is more
diplomatic and far more intelligent than Trump, who also has
zero experience. Traditional politics are dead.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Okay, there's traditional politics and there's governance. Regardless of what
you may feel about Stephen A. Smith or Donald Trump,
they did not have the requisite experience to become president.
I'm a firm believer that competency is more important than personality.
(18:14):
I believe that because we have a deficiency of civics
and don't understand how our actual government works, we then
turn to personalities instead of competency. Competency is understanding how
a federal government works and the tens of thousands of
peoples and the different agencies that you'd be responsible for.
(18:37):
Competency is being able to manage not only a foreign policy,
but a domestic policy. Competency means that you've had some
sort of preparation for that, and you're not just spouting
off the top of your head. Yes, Donald Trump is
now president. But that is not evidence of competency. That is,
(18:57):
to me, evidence of our willingness to disregard competency. We
live in a television age. And you hear some of
this again at the end of the show. We live
in a television age and this goes back to JFK
and Richard Nixon in the first televised debate ever that
forever changed. Are politics since you want to use the
(19:18):
word politics, Yes, we are a visual society. We care
more about being entertained than we are competently being led.
And there are things that politicians and elected officials actually do,
but far too many of us don't know what those
things are. And now we have people walking in off
(19:40):
the street and think I can be president of the
United States. No, you cannot. Can you be elected?
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (19:46):
And there's a difference. Just because people have chosen you
doesn't mean that you're inherently qualified. There are a lot
of people who will run for president, and very few
of them will be competent enough to steer this country
if need be. And that's separate from politics. Politics is
(20:07):
about ideology. Politics is about belief system. Politics is about
the policies that you want to pass that.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
You want to.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Part of your presidential resume. That's politics, the strategy of
getting elected, the strategy of getting last passed. I'm talking
about the competency of being able to run a government.
I'm talking about the competency of being able to handle
international issues as well as domestic issues, being able to
(20:39):
be of sober mind and judgment when it is really necessary.
And just because you're articulate, just because you happen to
have a personality which is either attractive to you or
more amenable to you, doesn't mean the person is competent.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
If I change President of the United States to American
Airlines pilot, you would instantly know what I'm talking about,
because you can see the immediate consequences of a lack
of competency and how people could and would die. But
since people don't usually make that direct connection between the
actions of a president and the deaths of Americans, they think, oh,
(21:19):
it's okay, Well, he's just you know, he's Trump is
Trump or Stephen A.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Smith and Stephen A Smith that you can't take him literally.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Oh you.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
It's not a performance piece.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Next you'll be telling people that you don't support President
Dwayne the Rock Johnson.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Remember when I said, I let me put it this way.
I don't want to overstate my role, but I was
in conference with someone who specifically was talking to Dwayne
the Rock Johnson and setting up his focus groups for
his exploratory committee and running for president. That's a real thing.
(22:00):
It's still a real thing. He is still actively considering
running for president. Can you tell me now, because you
like his on screen persona, that Dwayne the Rock Johnson
is less competent or more competent than Steven A. Smith.
I can read you both their resumes. It's one hundred
percent entertainment, one hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
We're moving closer and closer to the president Camacho of idiocracy.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
I think we've surpassed that on no comment. I think
we have. And if you've seen the movie, they're there.
The theatrics are pretty much the same. The only thing
which isn't the same is the attire. That's about it.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Well, did you see the way Kid Rock was dressed
in the Oval office last week? Yes?
Speaker 2 (22:41):
It was exactly hit.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
I mean you know this is I because I love America,
and if you love America, you care about America, you
care what happens to America. You care who leads America.
You care about the direction of America. And we can
argue about policy. We can about what's the best way
to go, whether it's a conservative ideology or progressive ideology,
(23:06):
but we should not debate competency. I use the airline
pilot as an example. We can talk about a doctor.
Do you care more about the doctor being competent or
being funny or doing great TV. We have a number
of members of our presidential candidate whose primary qualification is
(23:26):
television hosts. And I'm not exaggerating. That's not competency, that's personality.
I like my pilot's competent. I like my doctor's competent.
I like my election elected officials competent. You know, if
that makes me a bad person, Okay, guilty has charged.
I require competency. Now you can have your own set
(23:49):
of qualifications for whomever you vote for. Maybe it's the
length of their hair, Maybe it's the color of their skin.
Maybe you know, it's the height of the individual. Well,
maybe it's the way they part their hair. You know,
presidential candidates are supposed to part their hair on the
left side. That's a real thing. By the way I
could be president.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
That's a real thing about the part I'm counting on
your support, I'm saying, But how you choose to vote,
why you choose to vote, is your thing, I'm telling you.
For me, I have the competency discussion first and foremost.
Who would I feel more comfortable with during a national
(24:28):
crisis or an international crisis. And we can go back
and forth about what check marks that you would put
in a box for this person or that person. I
just know if the best argument you can make for
someone is if they.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Are a sports host or an analyst. Going back to
stephen A. Smith, then we're not having a conversation about
competency because I have more qualifications than stephen A. Smith.
And I sure as hell know that I have no
damn business anywhere near the White House as the president,
at least as a visitor. You know, maybe the Oval
(25:03):
Office hanging out having a drinker. So take the Lincoln
Bedroom for a test drive and call it a day.
That's right, me and Monica Lewinsky, I'm out. That's what
he said.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Oh I heard Twalla laughing. So I should be working.
I should be Ginny at least two ripshots grudgingly.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
That's what she said. Caf IM six forty one Live Everywhere,

Here's your horoscope for this week. Aries. This is a
(26:14):
time for aries to celebrate the return of the sun.
Happy return of the Sun to you Aries. In a
recent documentary about actress Power Mused and fellow aries, Anita
Pallenberg her son Marlin remarked that Pallenberg's desire to not
be a victim saved her from the depths of a
devastating drug habit. Sober but no less electric, Pallenberg went
full Phoenix in the second half of her life, living
(26:35):
full and free and precisely as she pleased. As the
sun highlights your first house of the self, I encourage
you to adopt a similar defiance. No matter who you've been,
the cape you've worn, or the role you've played, refused
to be anyone but the storied, well dressed hero of
your own epic saga. And that kind of goes back
to what I was saying last week in one of
my final thoughts about being your biggest cheerleader at all times.
(26:58):
I co signed that with that Taurus. As April ends,
the new moon in Taurus is a prime time for
dirt magic. Upon the death of his wife, English poet,
painter and fellow Taurus Dante Gabriel Rossetti leased a new
home and filled its garden with exotic animals, including but
not limited to, a pair of wombats and a two can,
(27:19):
whom he dressed in a cowboy hat. That's weird. Whatever
your kink is. Whatever your kink is, it's yours. Was
it grief or freedom that inspired this passion for nature?
Perhaps there is no difference, as both create space and
opening in the world to explore. As the sun in
aries highlights your twelfth house of endings, I encourage you
to welcome the limitlessness of such emptiness and think of
(27:43):
the delicious and absurd ways you can fill your own
proverbial garden Semini, this is Mark Ronner, Let's have it.
Geminis will have to ask themselves a few questions next month.
A Mongolian proverb holes that quote, one hundred friends are
more valuable than one hundred pieces of gold. Close quote
as airy season highlights your eleventh house of community and
(28:05):
collective energy. Jim and I, how do you conceive of
and invest in those around you? If time is our
true currency, are you spending it well and spinding it
with those who enrich and inspire? If not, it may
be time to dig deeper.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Nice gargling, don't waste time. Mark. Yeah, that's sobering, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
You are a little bit older than all of us.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
We're going to the movies. That's what this means. Yeah,
that's what that means. Yeah, you're investing in your crew.
Are we bringing Grandpa in there with us? Who? Daniel? No? You?
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Oh no, I don't have any grandchildren.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Cancer.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
This would be Stephan. Let's go ohay cancer. For the
bulk of the month, Mars, our planet of war and winning,
will be rounding out his tour of duty. In your sign,
the Lord of War is ill at ease in the
sign of cancer. Yet, I think there is an important
lesson to be learned in this final push if you
will allow a domestic metaphor, consider that every action is
(28:58):
a stitch and the quality of the quilt is directly
proportional to your ability to be both visionary and pragmatic.
Whatever the hell that means, Lego, Leo's will fill inspired
next month.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
The sun is a fellow fire sign. Oh, Carnaesia, youre Leo. Okay.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
The sun is a fellow fire sign. Lights up your
ninth house of expansion and inspiration. Leo, a little lesson
in nature for you. Rather than hibernating deep in the
water resources, like many of their species, wood frogs freeze
themselves solid to endure the long months of winter. They
bet down on the forest floor and cease to breathe, move,
or even generate a heartbeat. No one knows what ignites
(29:39):
the wood frog's heartbeat after this extended spell of suspension,
but it might be that the frog thaws from the
inside out, alongside the land, and much earlier than their
water dwelling brethren. I offer you the wood frog as
an example of what can be gained by slowing down,
standing still, and working with your elemental nature and the
cycles of your own spontaneous ignition.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
I was wondering what they had to do with leos.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
I have frogs. Yeah, I don't know, lions, frogs, whatever.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Virgos.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Have to keep a few things in mind this April.
It's widely known that the glory of a pearl is
born from grit, irritation and violation virgo. Yet, as you
embark upon airy season, highlighting your eighth house of sex, death, resources,
and regeneration, it feels pertinent to note that the word
pearl comes from the Latin for leg.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
This is thought to be a reference to the shape
of the oyster itself, but in the interest of poetry,
I suggest it says something else. The gift of grit
always allows us to stand tall and step forward. All
pain is of preparation. Every setback is a new start.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
Libra.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
April is all about navigating relationships. For Libra's Hello, Libra,
the sun and ares sets fire to your seventh house
of partnerships. I recently read that female gladiators routinely fought
in ancient Rome. Unlike their male counterparts, these women did
not fight to the death, but rather to the draw.
Coming from all backgrounds, they took up the sport of
sparring to strengthen their bodies for childbirth, make money, and
(31:08):
be buoyed by the roar of the crowd. I hope
you consider these ancient athletes as you navigate your relationships
this month with Libra. Remember that conflict is a conduit
and there is usually a way for everyone to win. Scorpio,
this is Tuala.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Let's go, Scorpio should let motivation be their driving force
this month. Recently, over co over Coffee, a favorite Scorpio
detailed his latest marathon attempt. When I asked him if
he would run the course again, he said, of course,
I have to take my revenge on it. I suspect
you can identify with the sentiment as the sun and
airs activates your sixth house of daily habits. I encourage
(31:45):
you to adopt a motivational ritual that pushes you forward.
So be it.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
If spie is what moves you, Yes, right, spide them,
Yes see petty let that motivate. This is Sagittarius.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
Me April is all play and pleasure for the Sagittarius sign. Yes, sir.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
I've recently read a short story about a woman who
gets an erotic thrill from listening to the recorded sound
of irregular heartbeats. As air season highlights your fifth house
of pleasure, play, love, affairs, and creative endeavor. Sagittarius, I
encourage you to find something that arouses a similar feeling.
I invite you to listen closely and keep a wide
eye fixed on wonder as you explore not just what
(32:25):
beats strongly, beats strangely in others, but what sings to
the source in you. Hush mark, don't leave it a
law mark, Yes, leave a law mark, Capricorn. Capricorns need
to trust themselves this upcoming month. The focus for you
this month is the ties that bind and the roots
that hold. The sun and ares burns a hole in
(32:46):
the front door of your fourth house of origins and ancestry.
Rather than be bogged down by all that came before,
I challenge you, in the spirit of spring and the
onset of new Year, to be emboldened by it. Aquarius,
nothing is wrong with talking to yourself from time to time.
And I got to say, as a sage, I talk
to myself every single day, every single day. Nobody loves
me like me.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
No one will listen to my full conversation like me,
because in real life everyone cuts me off.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
My wife cuts me off all the time. So that's
why I talk to myself. I don't get interrupted. Do
you finish off conversation?
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Sure? Do you start?
Speaker 2 (33:21):
I hear Daniel out there laughing, Aquarius, nothing is wrong
with talking to yourself from time to time. In his
song Renewed Ambition rapper and Aquarius King Kevin Gates explains
that he, like all geniuses, talks to himself. There it
is there, It is as the sun and areas cast
its like on your third house of communication. I urge
(33:41):
you to take a page out of Cag's playbook or
rate your life and give voice to the questions, qualm's
ideas and all that ails. It avails you talk to
yourself like every answer is built into the echo, because
of course it is. I'm going to take that as
my horoscope. And lastly, Pisces April concludes a trying venus
retro grade for Pisc's. As we conclude in this your
(34:04):
sign month, Pisces, I feel compelled to share a message
with you my favorite Pisc's recently had me over for
their screening of her favorite films nineteen seventy one. Harold
and Maud hate that movie. Towards the end of the movie,
it's just boring. It's just a boring movie. It was
a reason the co classic whatever. Towards the end of
the movie, Harold confesses his love for his older paramore
(34:25):
and she responds by saying, oh, that's wonderful. Now go
love some more. Whomever you are pining for or recovering from, Pisces,
think of them as kindling for a future fire. And
that is your horoscope or horrorror scope for this week.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
You can't take someone else's horoscope, Mom, you have to
take your own.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
I'm taking someone else's. I wanna talk to myself some more.
Back on to go have a fabulous conversation with myself.
You are your own best audience. That's right. I'm having
a conversation right now. I'm just not letting you all.
I know, I believe that either. Look, I would kick
his ass and he said that to me. Foh, now,
(35:07):
I'm serious. No, I'm serious.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
No, she's cute.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
I mean if I were thirty five years younger. But no,
oh oh, you guys are still here. Can if I

to finish. We're live everywhere the iHeartRadio app and YouTube.
