Episode Transcript

(00:21):
It's later with Moe Kelly KF Iam six forty. We're live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app. And I don'tknow about you. It's beginning to look
a lot like summer out there.It's hot, hot, hot hot.
I think it was like ninety fivehundred degrees today or something approaching that.
It was real close to it.It was real hot. But this is

(00:42):
the best part of the year.This is the best time of the year.
I like it like this. Ican deal with this instead of that
fifty five sixty degrees. I haveto deal with Mark Ronner and have to
check in with him to see ifit's going to rain on a given weekend.
I don't have to do that thisweekend. You should know. And
I'm telling you this is an excops beat reporter. The heat makes people
a little crankier, a lot moredomestics in this heat. No, no,

(01:03):
no, no, The crime doesgo up. I mean there's all
sorts of history and evidence to supportthat serial killers will come out during the
summer. Yeah. Right, whatI'm saying is tread lightley, but it's
look, this is La. Theyhad a guy who's just walking down the
street shooting indiscriminately at people. Ihave an alibi. No, but I'm
saying you can't worry about certain things. Can't worry about it. Oh I

(01:29):
like this attitude. No, no, no, no, I mean I
mean this. There are things thatI think we can control as far as
where we go. There are placeswhich are more dangerous than others. There
are things that we can do whichis more dangerous in terms of behavior.
But then there's just some random stuffout there we just can't control. We
can't control the actions of other people. And if you just happen to be

(01:53):
wrong place at the wrong time,and that could be any of us,
then oh, this is a farmore philosophical approach, which than I expected
from you. Well, part ofit is because Tuala once again tried to
unload these earthquake stories on me.All these earthquakes which have been happening under
the number of two point five underRichter scale, don't waste time on I

(02:16):
think. Look, he is counterprogramming the show. He's determined to pull
the show in the direction of idiocy. Who cares about a two point six
earthquake that struck Newport Beach on Wednesdayafternoon? Who cares Newport Beach doesn't even
care. I don't think they evenknow. I think they didn't even know

(02:36):
until I said it right then it'stwo point six. I would have slept
through that. I don't think Iwould have even I don't think I would
have even turned over. I don'tget it. I don't get it.
But here is the news that Tualais foisting upon everyone. A magnitude two
point six earthquake struck Newport Beach Wednesdayafternoon. The epicenter of the quake,

(02:57):
just southeast of Coasta, Mesa,was underneath Mariners Park. It is the
fifth quake to hit southern California inthe past five days, of which I
felt none of them, of whichnobody was injured, of which nothing sustained
damage of which nobody even cares.Did I get it all? Twalla?

(03:22):
Did I cover all the bases witheight? Yeah? You spank a lot
of hate in there. I can't. I can't worry about earthquakes which are
two point six. Is it twopoint even enough to knock over any of
the action figures onto Walla's shelf?No, I don't think so. I
don't think so. If there wasn'ta Richter scale, we wouldn't know about

(03:44):
it. We would not know aboutit, and we still don't care about
it. Five in a week.Wait, this is how it's reported in
Santa Ana. One person felt theearthquake as starting with the slowest of rumbles,
then a quick jolt that made thenews in Santa Ana. Thousands of
people. One person felt they talkedto. They were talking to one person.

(04:09):
That's the man on the street.They had to reach out and see
who felt at first look. Youshould know well enough that when you ask
someone did you feel it? Everyonesays they feel it. We stick a
microphone in their face. They wantto be quoted, They want to be
in the news, They want tobe on TV. Nobody cares about this
earthquake, not even you. TheNewport Inglewood Fault has long been considered one

(04:32):
of Southern California's top seismic danger zonesbecause it runs under some of the region's
most densely populated areas, from thewest side of Los Angeles to the Orange
County Coast. The last major quakeon that fault occurred in nineteen thirty three.
The magnitude six point four. Seethat is one to be concerned about.

(04:55):
Six point four that's worth discussing.But I can't it's two point six.
I'd rather talk about the weather,which is not happening. Mark,
tell me about the rain which isnot coming. Oh no, I have
nothing to add, but that wasvery satisfying. Thank you, really man.

(05:16):
We don't have any similar sound effectfor earthquakes, do we No,
we don't, because earthquake is asizzle effect. Why what's that for?
For how hot it's gonna be?Yeah, maybe get get Foosh to like
crumple up some tinfoil into a micand shriek. So, yeah, it
sounds like somebody burning alive. Twopoint six? Is that? Is that

(05:39):
all you got? We had?Like, we had a three point four
in Pasadena and a two point sixin Newport. Those are the two larger
earthquakes of the past five Did Ihave miss anything to you? This is
not relieving pressure. These are increasing. These earth earthquakes are increasing, and

(06:01):
that is why I want to makesure that they are voiced here on later
with more Kelly, okay and Mark. That brings me back to how we
started the show. There's certain thingsyou can't worry about if an eight point
five earthquake hit Heaven, forbid,Heaven forbid, if it did hit these
five before it, talking about it, not talking about it will not make

(06:23):
any bit of difference. But itsounds like Toalla is suggesting that something bigger
is behind all this, like it'sbuilding to something. Let's say it is.
Let's say hypothetically that the crazy theoryis real. Okay, let's just
say that it's You know that thezombie apocalypse is going to be upon us,
but it's called an earthquake. You'rekind of front loading it with the
word crazy. Yes, I'm saying, let's just say, but let's say

(06:46):
it's real. And I'm the onewho's got it wrong. If the eight
point five hits tomorrow, heaven forbid, Well, first, thank goodness,
I'll be out of the state.But if it does hit tomorrow, what
difference does it mean? There's nothingyou can do about it. I've got
my little earthquake kick kit in thecar. There's nothing that it's going to
do to help me or you oranyone else. You're kind of a knolist,

(07:11):
aren't you. No, I'm arealist. Did you say, but
what's in the kit? What doyou got? Like some candy bars or
something? You know, I gotsome medicines first aid. I'm thinking perceptives.
Those are legal um or will bea change, two changes of clothes,
just nickknacks, Bottles of water,like five bottles of water. You

(07:34):
know what else am I supposed tohappen there? Uh? Some alcohol?
Got some rubbing alcohol? No,no, I mean like some Jack Daniels.
No, no, no, no, you're gonna need that if there's
an earthquake, I promise you.Well, look, if an eight point
five hit, I can just walkinto any store I want. No,
it's gonna stop me. Yeah,okay, is it open season on retail
establishments if there's a quake. Ifthere's an eight point five, civilization as

(07:58):
you know it in La will crumblepun intended and eight point five. Oh
yeah, there's no one coming tosave you or me. That's gonna look
like no mass Land. Right.So, I mean, we can talk
about the two point six, wecan talk about the three point four and
say it's a harborager of the eightpoint five. But if the harborager,
if it's true that it's the eightpoint five, is coming s Levy.

(08:20):
But see this is all leading intothis new report, and there is a
new faster measurement tool to predict earthquakescoming. Okay, we'll talk about that
in the next segment, and howthat too, will not do anything to
save us or help us. It'sLetter with Mo Kelly k if I AM
six forty one Live everywhere on theiHeartRadio app. Yes, I'm cynical tonight.

(08:43):
You're listening to Later with Mo Kellyon demand from KFI AM six forty
There is a faster alert for Californiamegaquakes we're talking about, you know,
if the big one were to hit. Last segment, I was highlighting how
there were five earthquakes recently to hitsouthern California, all small like threes and

(09:05):
below. And I was being flippant, as I'm known to be about earthquakes.
Don't talk about them, don't worryabout them until they at least hit
five. But megaquake something that coulddo real damage. Well, there is
this faster alert early warning system that'sreceived a major upgrade. California's earthquake early

(09:26):
warning system is getting this what theycall a seismic upgrade pun intended one that
will allow residents to receive more timelyalerts about shaking from an incoming megaquake.
The upgrade, also available in Oregonand Washington, will provide features important for
warnings about the so called Big One. The improvements could mean depending on where

(09:48):
they are and where the quake begins. Californians would see even earlier an accurate
estimate of magnitude before the earth startsshaking, say, if there's a magnitude
seven point eight quake that begins onthe San Andreas Fault near the Mexican border
and rupture's default toward Los Angeles County. The upgrade would also improve warnings for

(10:11):
the Pacific Northwest in California's North coastYadA, Yeah, yeah, blah,
blah blah. Here's my thing.Let's say, and we tried, like
the local Earthquake Warning System app andnumber one, you had to have your
location services on at all times,And like, I don't get it.
If there's a quake in Los Angeles, just tell me. Why do you
need to know where I am togive me the like for example, when

(10:33):
there's a tragedy, unfortunate tragedy,it just appears in the news. It
doesn't need to know where I amto let me know that a tragedy has
occurred. So if there's going tobe an earthquake, or an earthquake has
happened, just tell me. Thatwas my problem with the original earthquake warning
system. And also it depended onwhere you were relative that location whether you

(10:54):
would get a notification at all.If I happen to be in San Diego,
hypothetic with my location services on.Remember this Twilet, we had talked
about it, and the quake wasin Los Angeles, I may not get
a notification even though I lived inLos Angeles. And maybe one would like
to know if my house still exists. I wouldn't get a notification because why

(11:16):
I was physically in San Diego.But this one, I guess, will
let you know from the top tothe bottom of the state. Twilet and
I were talking during the break,and here's my thing. Just because you
give me twenty seconds warning, I'mjust as an arbitrary number, twenty seconds
warning before an eight point five earthquakeorder hit. What the hell am I

(11:39):
supposed to do with that? Ihave an answer? Okay, there was
an earthquake that hit in Seattle.I had been up late working. I
think I was covering some sort ofriot or something, and I was up
at my computer. I just startedchecking my emails, and I was still
in my underpants. If i'd hadtwenty seconds warning, I could have put
on some pants and run outside.I dig that. I dig that,

(12:01):
though, Yeah, rather than bepantsless. See, the thing is,
with an eight something earthquake, that'sprobably not a smart thing to do.
You have falling power lines and otherhazards depending on your living situation. If

(12:22):
you're on the second floor or fifthfloor of an apartment building, that's different.
I'm just saying, let's see you'reon the ground four. Well,
can we agree though that in generalit's better to be wearing pants than not.
I don't know. I don't knowif the eight point five hit,
I'm just gonna be coming out swingingFrance Fancy for that, right. If
it's about survival, it's about survival. I can't survive swing and fancy.

(12:43):
For you this way, if there'sa fire in the house and you don't
have any clothes, you're gonna dowhat you need to do to survive.
You're not gonna say, oh mygosh, I need to find a towel,
I need to fight some draws beforeI go outside. No, you're
just gonna run outside. There issome latent exhibitionism at work here though.
Yeah, clearly no, those daysare over. I'm just saying mode.
You don't grab pants, you're justlike forget it. Here's a true story.

(13:09):
We had an arsonist freshman year inour dorm. No one knew who
it was and no, it wasnot me, and they were setting trash
can fires. We had trash cansin the dorm on each floor. He
was setting trash can fires, andso it was a legitimate fire, real
smoke alarms, And there were timeswhere we woke up in the middle of

(13:31):
the night with pitch black smoke inthe hallways. Most of the dorm was
cinderblock, but within the center blockseverything was flammable. So there were times
where we had to run downstairs andwhatever we had on, and there were
some people who got caught and they'reunderwear. No one came out nude.
But I know what it's like towake up and you're in a panic in

(13:54):
a fire situation. You're not thinkingabout clothes. I can say that firsthand.
You go if you feel that there'sreal danger there. And all I'm
saying is, you know, ifif the big one should hit and I
happen to be on the John,or if I happen to be asleep,
it's gonna be what's gonna be?That is, if I'm trying to live

(14:16):
now, if I know that it'sgonna be like an eight point five,
I may just stop at the doorand just say ef it. Oh well,
oh well yeah, now, becausewhen we're talking about an eight point
five, we're not talking about atembler. We're not talking about somebody with
some shaky We're talking about buildings fallingin on top of you. Yeah,
that's in serious territory. And Seattle. You mentioned Seattle, they are due

(14:37):
for a nine point zero at somepoint anytime, and that I worked with
a woman who wrote a book aboutthat at the Times, Seattle Times,
and that is said to be likelyto just liquify all the land between the
shore and several miles inland. Liquefyit right, And if she's correct,
there's nowhere to run. No,not in that case, there's no earthquake

(14:58):
kit to worry about. There's nocommunication earlier or not to save you.
You are going to your reward ina nine point zero. Twell, And
I also we're talking about if wewere on the plane, and I say
this knowing good and well, I'mgetting on a plane tomorrow. That's part
of the reason. When the ifit when the mask come down, would

(15:18):
we put them on if we knewthe plane was going down? Well,
if you know it's going down,what's the point that exactly? That was
the point of conversation exactly, AndI was I was positive, Well,
if you knew the plane was goingdown, might it be better to pass
out from lack of oxygen? Inthe meantime lack of oxygen? Raid the

(15:41):
drink cart. You got about twominutes in the descent. Okay, you
don't have time to raid the drinkcar. They're slow, they're slow bringing
the drinks. I mean, I'mquite sure the drink cart is careening down
the aisle tumbly end over end.Yeah, that's not such a great plan.
So would you put on the mask? Well, since you put it
like that, I guess not.I don't know if I would. I

(16:03):
mean instinct is to put on themask. But like, if the plane
is already starting to break apart,what are we talking about, put your
mask on first before you assist someoneelse. No, because the mask they
drug you right. That kind ofgets you all loopy. So when it
goes down, you're like more appliable or you pass out because you know,
it's almost like a sleeping death.Yeah, well, yeah, that's

(16:26):
what I'm saying. I'd rather notknow. If I know it's going down,
then you can keep the mask.I thought about this long and hard.
I can tell. Yeah, man, I'm cynical today. Enjoy the
flight tomorrow. Oh I'm gonna be. I'm gonna be gripping the seat as
I always do. Yeah, Ido that too. It's later with mo
Kelly if I am six forty.We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.

(16:48):
And speaking of falling things, didyou know that the rent is falling here
in La? Is that possible?We'll tell you about it in just a
moment. You're listening later with MoeKelly on demand from KFI AM six forty.
And of all the bad news thatwe have been reporting on, here's
just a little bit, just atiny tiny bit of I wouldn't call it

(17:11):
good news. I would say isit's better news. It's better than what
we're accustomed to getting. Rent priceshave fallen here in La, and it's
climbed elsewhere around the country. Rentsin LA have dropped three percent over the
past year, and it marks thesharpest decline of any major city in California.

(17:37):
And this is according to a reportfrom the nonprofit news outlet Crosstown,
LA. Take it for what it'sworth. The median rent for a one
bedroom apartment in LA. The medianis currently eighteen hundred and seventy two dollars
per month. One bedroom eighteen hundredand seventy two dollars, two bedrooms two

(17:57):
thy three hundred and eighty eight dollars. The median Okay, that's like average.
If you want to live in adecent neighborhood, let's say three thousand
and up. That's like the oldGeorge Carlin joke about average intelligence. Half
the people are dumber than that.Well played. Well played. Now,

(18:18):
if you want to compare La tothe rest of the country, the median
rent nationwide is twelve hundred and thirtythree dollars for a one bedroom and thirteen
hundred and eighty nine for a twobedroom unit. When I lived in Studio
City, I was so lucky toget in this rent controlled building right off
the corner of Ventura Boulevard and ColdwaterCanyon. It was This was maybe two

(18:45):
thousand and fourish and rent controlled onebedroom. Think of that location if you
know Studio City, right next tothe Sportsman's Lodge, and if you know
Ventor and Coldwater Canyon, there's afirehouse right there. It's directly next to
it. Of building I was in. My rent was six hundred and eighty
dollars when I moved in. No, I moved in in nineteen ninety eight.

(19:07):
I moved out in two thousand andsix. I moved in, it
was six hundred and eighty dollars.When I moved out in two thousand and
six, it was eight hundred dollars. Now I feel sorry for the person
who moved in after me, becauseit probably went up to like sixteen hundred
then. But but I will saythis, because it was rent controlled,

(19:27):
it was a whole building. Iwasn't like Section eight or anything. So
I know y'all thinking, No,it had nothing to do with that.
Because it was rent controlled, itallowed me to save enough money to buy
a place. If you're not spendingtwo and three grand for a one bedroom,

(19:47):
believe it or not, those individualswho wish to buy a location property
will have at least the possibility doingso. That is the dilemma with Rendells.
They have working people kind of overthe barrel because the second you commit

(20:07):
to a monthly rent of two orthree grand, there goes all your saving.
Well, not only that, youprobably have to commit to a year
lease. Yeah, it's not likeyou know month to month. No,
because they want to know that theyhave you on a hook for the foreseeable
future. And that's saying nothing offirst and last or security deposit. Yeah,
it was a trip when I wasdoing uber regularly. I picked up

(20:30):
this one guy who probably lived twoblocks from the beach, and we just
started talking and he's like, oh, yeah, i'd pay like a seven
hundred because I moved here in likenineteen seventy four, right, And he's
like, I'm not going anywhere becauseno, in that location. I mean
it for what he even for whathe had, cause he's like, he
said, it's pretty small. Itthink cost like twenty five hundred at least

(20:52):
easily. Yeah, and my onebedroom was really it wasn't small, but
it wasn't spacious, but it wasthe low It was studio city right next
to then the Sportsman's Lodge and Penn'sBowling Alley. It was a prime location,
a little bit run down. They'vesince remodeled it because they knew what
they had. The amount of moneythey probably were making just in the equity

(21:15):
was insane, but that was backthen. In two thousand and six,
moved out eight hundred dollars rent.Let me get back to the story.
LA's decline in rent of three percent, it outpaces San Diego and San Francisco,
but their rents did fall two pointfive percent and two percent respectively over
the past year. But if yougo to the other side of the country,

(21:37):
or at least in the Midwest,New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia,
those cities have all seen their rentincrease. So when I say this
is better news, it's not goodnews great news, but it's still better
news, and it's better compared toother cities around the country. There's a
guy who does online videos. Hegoes around cities like New York and just

(21:59):
approaches people on the street and askthem what they pay for rent, and
then looks at their places. It'smind blowing the amount of people pay for
you know, like a broom closet, but I was never a person who
needed to have a lot of space. If they ever brought those micro houses
here to LA and if I werea young guy and they had micro houses
out here, I would get oneof those in a heartbeat. In a

(22:22):
heartbeat. If I were twenty fiveor something and I wanted to own basically
a broom closet or you know,a shed, and I could buy one
for let's say one hundred and fortythousand arbitrary number, I would do that.
It could be four hundred feet orwhatever, room for a small refrigerator,
almost like a dorm room size.I would do that because I never

(22:45):
needed a lot. I just neededjust the bare essentials. Okay, so
you and I just watched Tokyo Weceand we saw how small the protagonist apartment
was in that. Also in Japanthey have these like sleeping sarcopha guy.
Yeah, would you do that ifI were in my twenties, Yes,
yes, sheep. You just goin there and it's just the size of

(23:07):
a coffin. You go in thereand sleep, and you leave in the
morning. It is like a hotelroom. It provides the bare necessities.
I didn't need all the creature comfortsback then, and I really don't now.
It's just that my life has changed, my station in life has changed,
so they're just other things which aremore important to me. But if
I were only concerned about myself,yeah, I would be in that little

(23:27):
broom closet. No problem with thatat all. Now. It probably would
have cramped my dating life, butthere's always a trade off. How much
room do you really need for that? Not much, but that's why they
You can always run a hotel roomshacking up in a hotel, that's right.
Do what you gotta do. Look, you got to spend your money

(23:48):
somewhere. Why spend it on anapartment? You know? Never mind,
never mind, No, I keepgoing, please no, I mean we've
all wasted money over the years.Let me tell you, oh boy,
good times. It's later with moKelly can't buy AM six forty. We
are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio appand when we come back. There is

(24:10):
some etiquette we have to remind youof when it comes to texting, what
you're supposed to do, when you'resupposed to call, when you're not supposed
to call, all of that,because some of you still don't know the
basic rules, and we're going toreview them. You're listening to Later with
Moe Kelly on Demand from KFI.AM six forty AM, I the only

(24:32):
one who has rules when it comesto calling me. Am. I the
only one who has rules as itrelates to texting me. I can't be
the only one, but it feelslike I'm the only one because a lot
of you don't respect boundaries. Youdon't respect the unwritten rules as it relates
to communication. Damn it. Welive in a world of rules and laws,

(24:56):
and I need you to follow themall. For example, if you
should text me, don't just sayhey MO, coma and leave it at
that. If you're going to textme, make a statement, make it
clear why you're communicating with me,like, Hey MO, do you have
that thing? Or MO, didyou see Hey Mo? You're an a

(25:19):
hole. At least let me beclear on what you're trying to convey.
If you don't, I will notrespond. If someone says, hey MO,
what's up now? Got nothing foryou, dog, got nothing for
you? That's a llure. You'retrying to bait me into a conversation and
then when I respond, then youhit me with the real reason why you're

(25:44):
communicating with me, and then I'mlocked into the conversation and I don't want
to be locked in all the time. Or or oh, here's another one.
Do you get it where someone willcall you out of the blue and
if you can't pick up, theydon't leave a message. That's like not
calling at all. If you don'tleave a message when you call, whether

(26:07):
I want to talk to you ornot, you are not getting a return
phone call. Ever. Ever,the least you can do is leave a
message. Why so when I docall, and I have every intention to
call you back, I'm not acomplete ahole. I'm just a mostly a
hole. But when I do callyou back, at least I know what
is it you need and I cangive you what you need. For example,

(26:29):
if Mark were to call me,he leaves a message Moe, do
you have that audio? Do youknow what we did? That? D
D D D da da da,And then when I call him back,
yes, I know, you canfind it in this location on the directory.
It's in the M drive, it'sin the G drive. Okay,
then that's that's an economy of conversationand a maximization of my time. But
if Mark instead just rings, myphone doesn't leave a message, I think,

(26:55):
oh, but dial, but dial, no need for me to call
back, I say, by now, you know that we've known each other
by three years. Yeah, HaveI ever called you? No? No,
No. That's why I'm saying.That's why I can use you as
an example, because but there's beena time, one or two times when
I've said, hey, can wetalk about ex or Y or Z,
And we've scheduled a call to talkabout a specific thing and then hung up

(27:17):
promptly. I wonder sometimes if ifbecause we're kind of busy and because of
our specific occupations, we've been sortof case hardened. Because last week Fush
came in here and just sat down, and I was so rattled by it.
I actually said to him, stateyour purpose? Can we get to
this? Because I need to moveon to the next thing. And there
are people who know what I dofor a living in my circle of friends

(27:38):
and family. They know that,and those same people are determined to have
a phone conversation with me. Don'tyou know that I might be in the
studio, I might be on theair, I might be doing something for
a spectrum. I do something withthem, you know, once or twice
a week. I might be workingon audio at home. I might be
in a situation where I can't havea conversation or or I don't want to

(28:03):
talk to you. Tell me whatyou need so I can make you go
away. Last night, you weregoing around the horn asking people if they've
done anything embarrassing with regard to meetinggirls or however you put it, and
it made me think of the timewhen we were very young that people just
called each other to talk, likeyou call up a girl to talk to

(28:25):
her. I can't imagine doing thatnow for me, I have an expiration.
You got thirty seconds. I needyou to get to it, because
if you have me on the phone, that means it's something that we can't
handle via text. We cannot somethings necessitate a conversation. Not just that
too. Well, but Tall andI will talk on the phone maybe two

(28:48):
or three times a week, butmost of our communication is either through text
or through a shared document. Yeahnot exaggerating, Yeah, yeah, that's
efficient and normal. I want totext before somebody calls me, though.
Yes, I don't want to callout of the blue from anybody for any
