You're listening to Later with Moe Kellyon demand from KFI AM six forty six
forties Later with mos Kelly, We'relive everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. And
she's back. It's Tiffany Hawes withthe viral load back and ready for this.
I have a myriad of stories thatcome to us from TikTok, from
local Instagram handles that have gone viral, and everything in between. First,
(00:25):
we're going to start with the storyfrom TikTok. You just spoke about TikTok
and TikTok still has a pretty stronggrasp on disseminating information. This story is
no different. So if you've evertraveled and Mo talked about traveling in the
last segments, then you know howunlikely it can be or likely depending on
where you go to lose your luggage, to misplace your luggage. And what
(00:48):
happens around the United States is thatmany airlines will store lost luggage in a
special room somewhere and wait for itto be claimed. However, there's a
lot of luggage that goes unclaimed andafter a while, airlines will offer this
luggage up for auction. Well,a woman bought a lost suitcase in London.
(01:11):
So this is an international story,but it does in fact affect us
here in the United States. Shebought this lost suitcase in London at Heathrow
Airport for one hundred dollars. Manypeople would not want to spend one hundred
dollars on something site unseen, butshe did. It was closed, She
didn't know what she was in for. She put down one hundred dollars on
(01:32):
what would be a discovery for her, kind of like lost treasure. Well,
she shared the contents and what hasnow become a viral TikTok. So
she opens up this this luggage andshe reveals what she finds online. Piece
by piece. She takes out antiitch cream underwear, different tops, expensive
(01:53):
dresses, makeup, a knockoff designerhandbag, but straight no shoes or socks.
I don't put my hands on otherpeople's underwear. This, this luggage
has gone completely untouched more or less, so you don't know what's in it,
how soiled anything might be. WhenI'm coming back from a trip,
(02:14):
I'm putting my dirty ass draws inthe suitcase. Yeah you're not, Yeah,
absolutely, and those are yours.I can't be the only one who
does that. I can't be notwanting to touch other people's dirty things,
but this woman was willing to payone hundred dollars for access to someone else's
things. I can understand where youhave like these pond Star commercials with shows
(02:36):
where they will buy someone's storage storageunity again and they will buy that side
unseen and you get whatever's in it. I can understand if you were to
buy someone's suitcases, like, oh, that's Louis Vuitton. I think I
would like that regardless of what's init. But yeah, I don't need
to touch any of the contents inside. And again, not knowing what you're
(02:57):
going to come across. This isa huge gamble, that's the part of
the game. So why it wentviral, it is because there's a whole
community of people who are doing this. They're taking luggage, they're spending money
on, and they're revealing the contentsof some sort of grand event on social
media and these videos then go viral. So this young lady decided that she
(03:19):
made out. In her opinion,what she found was worth more than one
hundred dollars she spent, so shefelt like she like she won, Like
it was a huge come up.But again, what went viral is not
just the fact that she opened thispreviously unopened suitcase, but that again there
were no socks or shoes. Sothis turned into this grand mystery that people
(03:43):
are trying to figure out. It'sall these different legs and components to this
story. But essentially, if youlose your luggage, someone on TikTok may
reveal what you have in your luggageto their millions of followers. Why is
it strange that there are no socksor shoes? This is assuming that the
person put all their stuff in onesuitcase. When I travel, I don't
have my socks and shoes per sein the same suitcases I have something else,
(04:08):
or bag that I have something else. I I separate stuff. I
think we're talking about strangeness. Weneed to remember again that this young woman
spent one hundred dollars on unopened luggage. Where's one hundred dollars in this suitcase
that she think that she made offwith? How does she get her money
back of the suitcase itself? Designerdresses, knock off handbag, you know
(04:29):
what. The youth value nowadays maynot necessarily amount to much, but for
her it was a huge accomplishment.I guess next story another accomplishment. The
youth are figuring out hacks. Theyoung people are trying to teach us how
to live on a budget. Sowe all know how difficult it is to
find affordable housing. Well, thisyoung man decided that he was going to
(04:53):
basically one up everyone else's attempts atfinding affordable housing. TikToker. Josh Ker
who's from Manchester, England. Soanother story from across the pond that relates
to TikTok moved into an all inclusivefive star resort because living there per month
was cheaper than renting an actual apartmentin his city. And at this five
(05:17):
star resort, Josh found a pool, a gym, all sorts of amenities,
a beautiful beach just meters away fromhis hotel room, and he can
stay there again up to thirty days. It's one of these extended stay hotels
or resorts for less than what itwould cause to rent cost to rent his
own apartment thirty days. Does thatmean he has to leave and he can
(05:41):
come back in seven days or hehas to just go to a different room.
They're not really clear. I'm wonderingif it's like a visa where you
do have to check out and thencome back. However, it seems as
though it's definitely something that is desirablefor Josh and for his followers as well,
because many people chimed in online onTikTok saying their own personal hacks or
their own experience with extended stays beingmore affordable than actual renting of apartments.
(06:05):
He's spending just under twelve hundred dollarsper month at this extremely pricey resort.
Well, yeah, it's renting bya different name, it is. I
can see that I'm that guy.If my life went a little bit differently,
I would do those micro apartments inthe middle of New York or Japan
(06:26):
wherever city this is sell or thepodd. I could see that. That's
like, yeah, I could saveso much money because I've never been a
person who was into big ornate.I drive a Beater car to this day.
You do, you do? You'revery much suposed to agree with me.
You're very humble, Kelly. I'mnot into trappings like that. I'm
(06:50):
not into the wardrobe. I'm notinto labels. For me, I think
about all the ways that I couldsave money and I don't want to spend
nine hundred dollars a month on acar. I just don't. I just
don't. I think about all theways, and that's why this story interests
me. I think about all theways I could have maybe would consider saving
(07:13):
money elsewhere. Let me ask youthis, Moe. You have dogs,
you have a beautiful wife, andyou have a home that you share these
things with. If you were single, without your pets, could you live
in one of those pods and sharethe communal living space? Because they're popping
all They're popping up all around LosAngeles. I've driven through different urban areas
and you see these apartments advertised asa beautiful room with shared community amenities.
(07:39):
Is that something you see yourself doingwhere you're sharing a bathroom, a kitchen
dividing line. I got to havemy own bathroom. I'm not trying to
the last time I had a sharedcommunal living was freshman year in college at
Georgetown. We had these pods inthe sense of we had a floor and
there were three bathroom areas on thefloor PTSD. Yeah that I'm not ever
(08:03):
going back today. Yeah, Andnow they're charging upwards of two thousand dollars
to share that sort of space,and we're not calling it dorms anymore.
We're calling it share living or cohabitationsall around Los Angeles. Yet I'd need
my own bathroom, that is that'sthe deal breaker. Well, if you
are lucky, maybe you'll find afive star resort you can move into for
(08:24):
cheaper than all of that, includingyour mortgage. The next story we have,
and we'll talk about it when wecome back from break, I imagine,
has to do with the dog sittingservice Rover. The dog sitting Service
Rover, So those of us wholove our pets, sometimes we need to
figure out a way to secure themwhen we go out of town. If
we don't have someone to do itfor us, we're gonna hear, unfortunately,
(08:46):
a very sad and scary story thatdoes have a positive ending. So
that's my teas for the next moreof the viral load. Next with Tiffany
Hopps. It's the latter with moKelly Cafi Am six forty. We're live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. No, no, nope, we're not given
away to take us to Lamarade Theaterand Jersey Boys. The Story of Frankie
Valley in the four seasons yet butsoon you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly
(09:11):
on demand from KFI AM six forty. Let's go back to Tiffany Hobbs and
the viral logue. In the lastsegment, I talked to you a little
bit about Rover the dog sitting service. MO. Have you ever used a
dog sitting service where you solicit someone? Right? I just you know,
for me too, it gives mea lot of anxiety, but people do
use it. Keanna, have youI used it once? What did you
(09:35):
think of it? I actually kindof liked it a little bit. I
again, I only ever used itonce. I needed it when we were
going and doing an all day thing. We just got our puppy and we
didn't want to leave her home alonefor like over eight hours. We wanted
somebody to be there, and so, you know, we I, you
know, you go on to theapp, you find whoever you want as
(09:58):
a good fit, and we hadher come over meet our dog. Kind
of checked just kind of like ababysitter for your child, right, you
want to make sure that this isa perfect fit. And you know,
she was really nice. She wasa student at the school I went to
We kind of bonded with school,and so you know, she stayed and
it was great. She sent inphotos, she checked in with me.
(10:20):
I had a good experience. Yes, I had a great experience with that.
This story unfortunately doesn't have that samebeginning. It does have a happier
ending. There's a woman named JamieLynn's story and she's from Santa Monica right
here. Local woman. She hastwo dogs, a multi poo and an
aussy cavalier. So she has littlefruit food dogs, very popular dogs,
(10:41):
highly thefted dogs, and she consultedor solicited Rover this dog sitting app to
watch her two little dogs while shewent on a short trip to Las Vegas.
Upon coming back from Las Vegas,she contacted the sitter. Information for
sitters is uploaded to the site andyou see everything. You can contact them
(11:03):
with their personal phone numbers, andyou can also contact the site to have
any sort of customer service interaction.Well, she contacted the sitter directly and
organized this neutral pickup point for thedogs when she got there. When Jamie
Lynn's Story got to this neutral pickuppoint, no dogs, no sitter,
she waited, Oh hell's no,she waited nothing. She texts nothing.
(11:28):
She takes to Rover and contacts customerservice, and it's one of those kind
of automated text exchanges you don't knowif you're really getting someone or if you're
getting a person. She did geta person, and she tells the person
what's going on. The Rover representativetells her to just take a rest,
calm down. We'll handle it.But we're right now in what's called dark
(11:52):
hours, so we can't do anythingabout contacting this person. But believe us,
we're on it. Jamie Lynn's storyis freaking out as anyone would,
as I would. The story itselfgives me anxiety thinking about what could possibly
happen. And you hear all thesestories, some good, but some bad,
and the bad ones are the onesthat stick about these sorts of services.
(12:16):
Jamie Lynn next day continues trying tocontact this woman. She's going back
and forth with Rover. After twofull days, Rover contacts Jamie Lynn's story
and says, hey, we foundthe sitter. Big misunderstanding. Sorry about
that. We're going to discipline her. Your dogs will be available at this
point. You can go pick upyour dogs. Misunderstanding. There's no misunderstanding.
(12:41):
You imagine, Yes, I canimagine, and that's why I would
never try it. The best wedo is a dog hotel. We have
the cameras, you can see yourdogs most hours of the day. No,
I'm not doing a dog sitter.No, no, my gosh.
And to have your dogs essentially disappearfor two days, two full days,
(13:01):
not knowing, and to be toldjust take a rest. What was the
resolution to this? The resolution isthat Rover said they were going to discipline
the sitter, meaning they were goingto likely remove her as a But where
were the dogs for to days?Why was this person out of unknown contact
under she was somewhere. And here'sthe thing that went viral about the story.
(13:22):
So this story was shared on asite and Instagram, an X site
called west Side Current. They dealwith a lot of local news on the
West Side of Los Angeles, andit went viral because different outlets picked it
up. They wanted to know whatwas going on with the story, and
of course it has a happier endingshe got her dogs back. But the
other thing that happened is that thesitter's personal Instagram was revealed and posted everywhere.
(13:50):
So people went and started to attackher online deservedly so, so that
person would have to give me anexplanation. If you had Riley and Benson
for two extra days with no communication, no explanation, when I see you,
you're gonna have to come to someinformation. I'm gonna be very polite,
get Riley and Benson and put themin the car. Yes, lock
(14:11):
the door. Then we're gonna finishour misunderstanding. Yes, because you would
have to explain why you were incognitofor two days. My assumption is that
because these dogs are highly theftic dogs, they're very expensive when you get them
from a breader adopt, don't shop, but when you do. This probably
(14:33):
was an attempt to sell the dogsand maybe it fell through, whatever the
case, and then she returned them. But it's terrible. Oh yeah,
I'm going to jail terrified. Ihave no problem saying that I'm going to
jail if I'm in that situation.Yeah, I am not going to respond
rationally. I'm right there with you. Next story. Last story is a
(14:54):
human interest story. And I chosethe story because I wanted to ask Moe
and the guy what they feel aboutthis. So there's a man, young
man. He trended on Instagram becausehe posted this diatribe about how he was
cutting off his friends. He wasblocking them, he was going to detach
(15:15):
from friendships. He was going tojust rid his life of these friends.
The supposed friends he has male,all male friends. He points out that's
important because they did not check onhim after he had back surgery. It
seems kind of mundane, but itwent viral because it turned into this entire
(15:37):
conversation about how men specifically and Iam not one, but you are mo
and men, well, last timeTSA checked right, Men have to often
suppress their emotions when it comes tofriendships. They're not allowed to be critical
of friendships. They're not allowed toexpress disappointment in friendships that don't necessarily feed
(16:00):
that emotional component or aren't reciprocal.And this man again went viral because a
lot of people were telling him.On one side, hey, just suck
it up. Be a man.So what if people don't check on you,
get over it, Be a man, grow a pair. And on
the other side, you have abunch of people who are like men are
allowed to feel men are allowed tobe disappointed in their friends. But this
(16:23):
story has completely divided that conversation,what say you herelet glovers, I've probably
been in the hospital several times overthe course of the past decade or so.
Each and every time, one ofthe first people to reach out has
(16:45):
been MO. I can promise youthis. If MO had failed to reach
out just one time, he'd bedead to me. Me. I'm in
the hospital. You're not checking onme, You're dead to me. See,
I would be more concncerned about family. I whole family to a different
standard. I always say family first. My boys, it's a little bit
(17:08):
different. Maybe you didn't know alike for example, when my father passed,
some of my male friends didn't knowhow to reach out. They didn't
know what to say. They didn'tknow they were afraid of saying the wrong
thing. I try to allow peopleto be comfortable where they are who may
(17:30):
not know me on that level.But my family, that's different. Yeah,
I would if I ended up inthe hospital, I'm not going to
have some expectation that Mark Ronner giveme a call or something. Don't get
me wrong, it'd be nice.And we've had personal exchanges regarding life,
so we have that rapport. ButI don't look at as a requirement.
(17:52):
I'm not going to just debt ourfriendship if I don't hear from him,
because I got a colon oscar byhe did even check up on my Sorry
now not colonosky. I'm in thehospital. Foosh, mark Mo. You
check on me, but you're alldead to me. Come on, mark
your turn. Oh, I'm especiallyinterested in your colonoscopy, so I'll be
(18:15):
checking up on that first thing.Would you like a picture? I know
you'd want to. I want thefootage. Actually, a picture is not
going to be enough on its own. Okay, uh, do you want
it color? Black and white?What you want to go on down the
tunnel? You don't want that color? He does exist, so you can
just prank me and give me somefootage from like an electric train going through
(18:37):
a toy tunnel. Only reason Isay that because had another colonoscopy today,
so you know. And I didn'tcall him. But I don't have the
relationship with him that I do withyou. I mean, I texted you
when your father died, and I'mkind of a checker upper. But also
men are weird and emotionally stunted andkind of sort of children who you can't
(19:02):
treat normally. So you know,when I'm sick or something, I kind
of don't want to be bothered,but I appreciate it when somebody reaches out
to me. It's like it's likewhen a cat's sick and it'll crawl under
the bed to die on its own. I'm sure they appreciate it when you
pull them out and get them in. That's way too specific. No,
(19:22):
no, no, but I didthat idea where you're coming from. You're
both cat owners, that's why.Well, yeah, the point is that
that men are odd and abnormal anddon't have regular, mature, full adult
emotions. Ever, Stephan, isthat true? I don't think, so
care to elaborate. I don't know. I would definitely. I mean something
(19:48):
like backs, that's a big deal, So I definitely would check on,
you know, if it was afriend or someone close or you know,
someone that we work with. Likeyou said, we've kind of gotten close,
and I think that's that's there's nothingwrong with that. I mean,
sending a text or a quick callis nothing, nothing big, you know.
So if you had back surgery andI didn't call, I'd be dead
to you. No, That's whatI'm saying. You wouldn't be dead to
me. But I'm not against reachingout. I'm a Scorpio. I live
(20:12):
by the dead. Oh, I'ma Sagittarius. I won't dead people in
the heart. Here's the difference.You'll just never forget me. I'll just
kill you my mind. You'll livewith it. They're not mutually exclusively.
See, this is why I chosethis story. It's provocative. It gets
the people going. In fact,let's carry it over to the next step.
(20:33):
I'm kidding. We gotta get outhere. It's it's look at the
time. We're live everywhere on theiHeartRadio app. And you know we love
movies here. And I remember growingup watching the different movies and The Planet
(21:00):
of the Apes a Pantheon series,and I was always mesmerized by them.
They don't necessarily visually hold up aswell today, but the storyline is still
very important, and what I wantedto see in the subsequent movies was something
which hewed more closely to that storyline. For what I'm hearing this new movie,
(21:23):
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apesis along those lines. It's going
back to the basics of what themovies the stories were trying to tell the
rotten tomato score is very good.It's now out in theaters. In fact,
here is the trailer Are you free? With the concept of evolution?
(22:00):
In their title, humans were capableof many great things. They could fly
like eagles fly. They couldn't speakacross oceans. But now it is our
(22:23):
type and it is my kingdom.We will learn. It will learn,
high will learn, and I willconquer. Legend says ape and human live
(23:00):
side by side. Impossible is that, it may seem. Why do they
hunt her? She's smarter than mostothers? Do not tell us everything about
this world? When are your kingapes hunt humans? That is wrong?
(23:48):
Together? You will not know togetherstrong. This is set well after the
events of the James Franco and Caesarstoryline. You may remember they told the
(24:11):
story of how this drug which wasoriginally supposed to cure Alzheimer's as it was
being developed, it was being testedon these particular apes, and then it
mutated and became a disease which wasravaging humans. But it made the apes
smarter and they evolved, and somewherealong the way, human society was wiped
(24:36):
out. We lost our ability tospeak because of this disease. And this
is set much more in the future, kind of not the disease portion,
but just like the original movies,it's self set well into the future,
and we're getting that now. Itwas interesting because just last night while I
was here, after the show Warof the Planet of the Apes came on,
(24:57):
and it kind of reminded me howmuch this film is giving us a
true re envisioning of the original storyline. Like when I was a kid watching
those gigs to Come on Channel fiveall the time, and I love just
seeing the stories, but the storyitself and what it meant, it didn't
really resonate to me. It wasjust you know, apes are in charge
(25:18):
and humans are trying to rise up. But now watching these and going back
to how it started and how lookingat our world and I know there are
a lot of societal parallels and theexperimenting on monkeys and everything that happens in
the world. How this film nowit's beyond the trilogy, now this is
(25:40):
the fourth installment. How this reallyreally is trying to tell a bigger story,
a much broader story, And whenyou watch all of them together,
you really get where it's going.The original was an allegory talking about the
United States civil rights and the socialissues going on in the country. This
is not that, but it doesharken back to it on some of their
(26:03):
the messages are not as obvious innature, and it's not as specific in
nature, but I think it istrue to the roots of the original and
it says that there is a messagethey're telling you about society, but in
a contemporary sense. It's interesting howinstilled both storylines. While the apes thought
(26:27):
to become their own, how ultimatelytheir downfall and what really led them a
strain was they're becoming more human.They didn't learn from the mistakes and the
decisions that the humans preceding them hadmade. Yes. Yes, And it's
almost like in a societal structure,no matter what that level of dictatorship,
(26:52):
it doesn't work in America. Itdoesn't work as society period. I just
love so there are so many thingsto pick apart in watching these I cannot
wait to see this one. Cannotwait. Kingdom of the Planet of the
Apes now out in theaters. I'llbe checking it out this weekend when we
