You're listening to Later with Moe Kellyon demand from KFI AM six forty.
Let's talk tech with Marshall Carlier,who joins me in the studio. Marshall
Caller, is great to see you. Happy summer. The weather is beautiful.
I hope your drive was a littlebit easier. Wait, we've got
to turn on our microphone. Hey, the weather's beautiful for what two hours
(00:22):
ago. I'll take it. I'lltake it. It's better than that June
gloom that we've been seeing. Thatmay gray. Look at that. Look
at that out the window. It'ssad. It's eight o'clock and you're still
light out. I know I lovethat, I really do. I do.
Because you could see the plants,the trees, the flowers in that
Wonky building, the Warner Brothers building. Well, it's a beautiful looking building.
(00:46):
It's just nobody in it. Ijust wonder what was the inspo for
the design. It's it's interesting.You know some architect was paid very well
for the design. I wasn't thatperson. So I don't know if I
can pass judgment. If you havea chance to look it up, I
mean, it's it's kind of you. I'll post a picture of yes,
(01:08):
please, I'll do please. DoYou had the opportunity to watch the Tesla
annual meeting. Now I did thatfor us. Believe me, it wasn't
an opportunity, but it is.When we talk about Tesla, they are
leading the way when it comes toEV's and I would say, as Tesla
goes, so goes the industry inmany respects. Did we learn anything about
(01:33):
where Tesla was headed and where otherEV companies may go? Well, you
know, it was a little lessjust about Tesla the car. It was
about what Tesla's got in mind forthe future. And I liked that because
I mean, it's got the car. Fine. Here was one of the
things Elon Well, first of all, you know, Elon did get his
(01:53):
gigantic salary. He did get it. He did get it, but that's
based on perform mormanths. So Idon't know that it's that horrible that he's
making a quack a billion dollars.Well, they had from a stock valuation
standpoint, they had a really roughyear. Yeah, but it was originally
given to him in twenty eighteen.So there's all kinds of legal complications that
(02:17):
I don't understand. I just saygood for him because I don't know anybody
else who would care to run acompany with so much stuff going on.
So he came up with one ideawhich I thought was crazy, So not
really crazy crazy smart. Each Teslaas a computer. It right, Each
(02:38):
computer are not it's not being used, it's parked in a garage. When
the Tesla is, you know,around, the amount of computing power available
for it to do other things ishuge. Think about that. So what
if he built a network that peoplewould agree to that when you're not using
(03:02):
your car, Tesla could use yourcomputer for whatever. Think about Amazon web
Services. Amazon web Services generated twentyfive billion dollars. Okay, I understand
the practical application of Amazon Web Services. What I don't see as of yet
(03:22):
would be the reason to allow Teslathe company to use that computer in the
car in some capacity beyond the car. He didn't talk exactly, but what
if they paid you? What ifthey gave you a deal on a new
battery? What if? I mean, there is any number of compensations.
Also, he talked about a Teslafleet. Now let's say you're not using
(03:45):
your Tesla. Okay, uh,you wanted to make money for you once
self driving cars. Get there,push a button on your app, and
your car becomes part of the fleetand become like an uber driver without a
person in it, and you makesome money that scarce the hell out of
me. Scares more than that.That's right, we're both thinking the same
(04:10):
thing, but creative thinking. Well, he's already said that he wanted all
of his platforms, even including X, to be kind of one stop shops,
where it is a commercial marketplace,an exchange of money banking and can
do more than what it's initially setout to do exactly well, and that's
(04:31):
the thing. The cyber truck,for example, right now, it's only
sold in the US. I sawa cyber truck. This has nothing to
do with this, but somebody hadpolished it up. You ever drive behind
an oil tanker with the polished backand you could see a mirror finishes.
The whole car looked like that.I don't like the look of the cyber
(04:51):
trucks, but I like the onesthat are they've either had it wrapped in
a certain er right, or likea Matte black something like that. I
like, we said, Matt blackone just right. I don't like the
stainless steel aluminum, half dish,half done. Yeah, you know,
have you finished that car? Canyou put put a little polish on it?
Something? Just like the Deloreans.If you're old enough to remember the
(05:14):
Deloreans, they looked fine when theyfirst came off the lot, but they
did not age or get or theydid not age well as far as the
look of that stainless steel. Andfor those of you who don't remember the
Deloreans, if you watched Back tothe Future Michael J. Fox and Back
to the Future, that was Doc'scar and it was a beautiful car.
Yes, and you know, Idefinitely go out with any guy who had
(05:38):
one at the time. Yeah,you know your husband sitting right there.
That was so long afo, butI'm still here. You know, I
don't want to hear about them.Well, you know, it was a
long time ago. But they aregoing to expand, expand the cyber truck
past the US, but they'd haveto do it totally redesign for Europe and
(05:59):
Chinese markets and there will not bean international one before the year. Did
I read this right? That they'restarting to market the cyber trucks to law
enforcement, that they would be usedin a law enforcement capacity. He did
not talk about that, but Ithink what a brilliant idea get those little
protesters. That's Marcia Colliers, shesaid that. Marcia said that could get
(06:24):
me in trouble. No, Ijust in whatever. If policemen need something
that looks like an armored truck,well, I always talk about always think
about the practicality and utility of it. Does it provide a purpose? Does
it serve a purpose? Yeah?Yeah, it would help. You know.
I wasn't about any protesters in particular. I'm talking about helping the police
(06:48):
get done what they have to getdone. And police, you know,
have never really had anything since theCrown vic that they used the Ford interceptors.
I think for the most part,those are ubiquitous, they're just about
everywhere. But something like a cybertruck, I would love to hear someone
(07:11):
from law enforcement say yeay or nayon that as far as whether it could
be used or how it would beused. Real quick, before we go
break, he did talk about theOptimists his robot humanoid helper robots, and
I'm sitting there listening to it.Yeah, yeah, yeah, you'll be
all able to customize the personality,customize the voice, and we'll get to
know you as well. No,and that's the story they gave me.
(07:34):
Sony gave me on My Robot Dog. That really it's But anyway, when
he finally said wouldn't it be greatto have your own C three po,
he totally sold me right there.Well, there's C three po and there's
I Robot and that could go eitherway, right, But that's the thing.
(07:57):
It probably starts out a C threepo, then all of a sudden,
it's I Robot and is trying tokill you. Yeah, there's that,
But maybe if you're just really niceto it, I don't know,
I don't know. See, that'sthe thing we'll find out or can turn
into the determinator. It's Later withmo Kelly can if I Am six forty
one live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. We're going to talk about WWDC twenty
four, the Apple Developer Convention.In just a moment. You're listening to
(08:20):
Later with Mo Kelly on demand fromKFI AM six forty Now. Marsha Collier,
I am not one of these Applefanboys like maybe Mark Ronner. Okay,
I'm I don't have anything Apple inmy life, but I understand the
importance of Apple to some people.I make it very clear. I'm a
(08:41):
Google guy, I'm an Android guy. But the WWDC twenty four Developers Conference
is still very consequential, and that'swhy I try to watch it, and
I, you know, I wantto see what they're doing. Maybe they're
doing something fabulous that I'll be jealousof and will make me go to the
(09:03):
other side because I too, aman Android. I write books about Android.
I love Android, so you know, and especially having a pixel phone,
Google drops all their tests and secretstuff on us. It's immersing,
yes, yes, we get itfirst. If it doesn't work out,
then it disappears. Is the Appleexperience improving? When I say improving,
(09:30):
there's certain things that the Google experiencecan do or does differently than Apple,
and if you like those things,you tend to be an Android supporter.
Obviously Apple has a very loyal fanbase, but in terms of software innovation,
I would say for the most part, they tend to trail Google.
(09:52):
They do lead the way in hardwareinnovation. Okay, okay, well let's
talk a little turkey here. Let'stalk about this. First of all,
everything was the big deal was allabout AI AI AI AI. How there's
going to be AI And this allreminds me of how do you remember when
everything was going to be five Gfive G everything? Oh? Yeah,
(10:15):
that does Did you know that ifwe continue on the track we're going by
twenty twenty seven, the calculated energyusage will be the same annual energy as
the Netherlands just by AI, Awhole country's worth of electricity being used just
(10:39):
to push AI. If they gothrough with all of these things. Now
we don't have a grid that's holdingbarely everything together that we need. But
hey, you know you can't havea gas pool heater anymore because electric electricity.
Right, So there's that, andthat's a subject for another time.
(11:00):
But yes, everything was on AI. It can help write emails, reports,
personal text messages, but I don'tneed help with that. I don't
want help with that. So wheredoes that This was just a hypothetical general
questions. Where does that? Whatdoes that mean for me? It means
(11:20):
they get to read your stuff,point because they have to read it to
then offer an alternative. Yes,someone from the station was coming down in
the elevator and they got to popup from Google. And I'm sure you're
seeing them too. And it's aboutGoogle AI. Want Google AI to help
you. What do I do withthis? I said, push it down,
don't agree to it. Just don'tdon't let it infest your phone because
(11:45):
once, once it's out of thebag, it's kind of like herpes.
It sticks around. That is aninteresting analogy. I wasn't quite ready for
that. I thought you were goingto make some sort of grandiose technological paris.
It is like this era of theindustrial resolution. No, it's more
like Herpe's. Yeah right, itjust doesn't go away, keeps coming back.
(12:07):
But anyway, so the AI isgoing to be everywhere. It can
fake voices, it can do allthe things that I really have no interest.
It'll draw pictures for you, whichis great. I guess that's coming
right now with Google Gemini under GooglePhones, which I keep saying no to.
(12:31):
You may not be a Marvel fanlike we are, but I know
Mark and Toula would get this.There's this line line see, oh,
that's right, that's right. There'sa line in Age of Ultron where Ultron,
this super AI robot, basically issaying that humans have this this substance
called vibranium, and the only thingthat they can think of is to turn
(12:52):
it into a Frisbee, which wasCaptain in America's shield. Yeah. Yeah.
The comparison I'm making here is like, Okay, we have this AI
technology in capability, but we're justmaking pictures with it. We're not really
seemingly trying to do anything. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't kid yourself.
Don't you think the government's been I'mjust talking about us, you know.
(13:15):
I was like, oh, let'smake a I take pictures of Donald
Trump or whatever. We're not.Oh yeah, and it'll cook your meals
for you and everything. My goodness. Yeah, we're just scratching the surface.
It would seem. It would seem. But like we said, remember
the story of five G. Sothere's a new Seri which is also driven
(13:35):
by AI, and it can setan alarm late at night without waking the
person sleeping next to you. Waitwait wait wait doesn't Google do that already?
Yeah? Okay, go ahead,continue, It'll clean up your photos
the AI wait wait wait wait waitdoesn't Google photos back up? Doesn't I
do that already? Well? Theseabilities are on Pixel and Samsung phones,
(13:58):
but it will remove unwanted people.Wait, wait, my Google that's called
magic eraser. Yeah, okay,all right, okay, but with Apple
Intelligence, you can also search forphotos with more natural search terms, like
pics of Gina riding a skateboard.I'm pretty sure I can do that on
my phone right now. Yeah,and kind of Google Photos. Yeah.
(14:20):
We've been able to do that foryears. Okay, okay. Now they're
having something brand new called gen Moji. You might think of something we might
know as emoji Kitchen when it takesto emojis and mashes. Yeah, yeah,
that's what it is. It's prettyexciting. When one an eggplant writing
(14:41):
a cheeseburger, you can probably putthat together. Okay, but an egg
plant is not an egg plant inthe world of emojis. Egg plant,
right, never mind? Never mind? Okay, you know anyway, you
can also customize your home screen.Wait wait, you couldn't custom is your
home screen on an iPhone? MarkRonner? Can you customize your home screen
(15:03):
on an iPhone? It does notinterest me the least bit, but I'm
excited for people I've never tried.It's never occurred to me. Okay,
Robin, you say you can customizeyour iPhone home screen? Is that correct?
Yes? Okay, what what doesthat allow you to do? What
is the extent of the customization.It's not very extent. Okay, all
(15:28):
right, I have a wallpaper andI get to move apps around. Oh
well, I got twelve o clocks, which is so cool. We have
all sorts of widgets we could putthere. We could actually put a different
launcher on top of it if wewant to all together, different home screen.
Yeah, we could move but multiplewe're talking here about Apple, and
(15:56):
Apple has a new os Sequoia orMax, and they're improving the watch and
oh it has a new passwords app. I thought we like Google has a
passwords maniture. We have Google passwords. Yeah, but this is going to
allow them to generate strong passwords forall their logins. Okay, welcome to
(16:21):
twenty and fourteen. But okay,okay, tapp to cash, Smarter air
pods, and Primetime TV plus.It's the same thing as Amazon Prime Video
but feature. Yeah, all right, and so for all on the Apple
(16:44):
stock. Oh and the Vision Pro, there's a new edition, even bigger
and better. We we covered theVision Pro and wasn't ready for prime time,
so maybe it's ready for afternoon.So there you go. And Honestly,
I am not laughing at Apple.I think Apple did great work in
the days of Steve Jobs, andI think he would be spinning in his
grave. And here's the thing.Steve Jobs had an understanding of ingenuity and
(17:11):
innovation. I don't know, andI'm not an Apple fan, so I'm
speaking as an outsider. I don'tknow if they have the same type of
innovation material innovation that I just get. I just get really happy every time
my phone comes up with a newthing and I'm going to try it.
I try I answer a phone calland before I get to it, it
(17:33):
answers for me, Hello, thisis Marcia. I love this. I
love this, and it asks whoit is if there's no phone number.
And now, just so you know, the next thing they're adding in is
they will run the phone number tosee who that is that's calling you,
because you know, sometimes you don'tanswer a call and you always wonder who
is that person? You go andlook it up on Google. Yeah,
(17:56):
yeah, no, it'll do itright in your phone now. But you
know that's not to say that Applewon't come up with it soon. Look,
I'm thinking maybe twenty thirty two.They're in there Marshall Collier. I
have to go, but I appreciateyou coming in and letting us know that
we're not missing anything on the otherside of the of the technological world.
(18:17):
But I still want to hear fromall of you and listen to my podcast
on the iHeartRadio app. Just searchMarsha Collier and you'll find me in between
the mo Kellys. That was prettysmooth. Gotta do this all the time.
It's Later with mo Kelly, cafI AM six forty. We're live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. You'relistening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand
(18:37):
from KFI AM six forty and SpaceX, another company under the direction of Elon
Musk, is in the news.SpaceX has been sued by engineers who were
fired after accusing Elon Musk of sexisma case of wrongful termination. The engineers,
(19:00):
four women and four men, claimMusk ordered their firing back in twenty
twenty two after they circulated a lettercalling Elon Musk a distraction and embarrassment and
I quote also urged executives to disavowsexually charged comments he had made on social
media. The lawsuit was filed instate court here in Los Angeles. Let
(19:23):
me just stop there. Those arethe general specifics. And we live in
a world now and also an employmentenvironment post me too. And also we
had this social media aspect where it'snot just what happens in the office,
but also what happens outside of theoffice on social media. The world,
(19:45):
the work world is very different nowthan when I started back in the early
nineteen nineties. It's just different.I'm not saying that it's worse. I'm
just saying it's different how And Ihave some general rules, like I do
not comment or compliment women on howthey look. I don't want anything to
(20:07):
be misconstrued. That's just me andfor other people. In fact, I
was talking about this. I waskidding around with Bill Handle when I was
speaking to him earlier this morning,when I was doing a hit with him.
But it's a conversation topic that doescome up often in the office where
those lines are, where those boundariesare. And some people are of the
opinion, hey, if you're notdoing anything wrong, you have nothing to
(20:30):
worry about. But it's not justwhat you say, it's how it may
land, how it may be received, just because you, in your mind
may think Hey, that's a nicelooking dress you have on. It accentuates
your curves out of the guy's mouth. He may think that's a compliment.
I it's a woman. She maythink it's he's being a pig and it's
(20:52):
offensive and it's worthy of going toHR. I'm at a different point in
my career than I was in mytwenties, and I'm quite sure I said
some things working in the music industrythat I can't say today. I'm pretty
sure I can't remember off the topof my head, but I'm pretty sure.
Let's just say I did. AndKeana, you are at a different
point in your career and you're working, i would say, relatively near the
(21:15):
beginning of your professional career, andyou are doing it in a post me
too world? Is there a linefor you? And I know you're not
speaking for all women, I'm notsaying that, but are there things that
you notice or that you find offensiveor is there like a general rule book
that you follow when dealing with othercoworkers? Usually there is a line for
(21:41):
me, like I can joke around, I can mess around. I feel
like I have that like sarcastic radaron myself where I'm like, I know
when somebody is doing it as doingsomething as a joke or not, and
when that joke pushes the line alittle bit. And so in instances where
some might be complimenting me, butcomplimenting me in a way that makes it
(22:04):
like something that my fiance would tellme, that's a little too far.
Okay, let me go back tothe story. The lawsuit says that Elon
Musk's conduct fostered a pervasive sexist cultureat SpaceX, where female engineers were routinely
subjected to harassment and sexist comments,and the concerns about workplace culture were ignored.
(22:26):
Senior engineers, for example, usedeuphemisms for sexual acts and male genitals
to describe rocket components. According tothe lawsuit, I know when you work
in entertainment, it's a much moreloose environment. Perfect example, I was
kidding with Marshall Collier in the lastsegment on air about eggplant emojis, and
(22:51):
if you don't know what that means, well you need to go Google and
catch up. But I'm saying youstill have to be mindful in the these
work environments. That's different now,and I wouldn't say that there is a
pervasive sexist culture across all workplaces.But I have worked for some places where
it definitely existed, and that waseven before me too, And I wonder,
(23:18):
you know, like, for example, I don't do hugs. I
don't do hugs in the office.Some places they do, some people they
feel comfortable with it. I don'tbecause I'm always concerned about something being misconstrued.
So I always defer, and Ierr on the side of caution.
I don't know, Mark, whatabout you, in your many years and
working in various newsrooms and environments.Well, Bethany hugged me earlier, and
(23:41):
I'm wondering if if I should sueher. Well, as funny as that
is, there's a lot of truthto that, I will defend Bethany,
She asked. She asked, shedid get consent. My general rule is
I try never to motor boat womenin the office. How's that is that?
Okay? What is motor boating?Nothing? That's what I thought.
(24:06):
No times has changed. I remembermy first newspaper, people would routinely walk
around and give shoulder rubs, andthat's not a thing anymore. Look,
when I worked in the music business, the stuff that they talk about now,
what is going on at SpaceX.To take it back to the story
is nothing in comparison what we weredealing with in the music industry. I
won't tell you the person's name,but there's a guest who I work with
(24:27):
in the music industry, and shewas telling us the story off air of
how she was working for a musicexecutive. Remember when we talked about Puff
Daddy Diddy and all the stuff thatyou know was going on years ago.
It's I don't be surprised now.Well, she was telling us a story
about a music executive and I thinkit was her boss who asked her to
come into the office and he laidhis Johnson on the table to proposition her
(24:53):
subtle that's called Tuesday or it wasback then. You know, the world
has changed so much you think that'sunthinkable. Now of course that says,
of course that's harassment. Of coursethey should sue. But it was so
pervasive and permissive back then. Justright on the table, Yes, literally
slap a dictionary down on top ofit or something. You the first part
(25:15):
of that word is correct. Yes, Well, I'm looking at the photos
of your rocket now and I'm notsaying Elon Musk isn't a creep, but
you know that these rockets, theydo look an awful lot like uh well,
if you look at Blue Origin mostdefinitely Oh whoa, yeah, please,
I'm being serious Now. That doesn'tmean that it's then okay to have
(25:40):
fallus jokes in the office all daylong to either intentionally or unintentionally make people
uncomfortable. I'm not saying that.I am saying that it's probably more widespread
than people are willing to admit,you know, and I and I appreciate.
I just had a conversation with thecod work or today asking about some
(26:00):
other things where the line began andended with certain things about race. And
I appreciate that, if only becausethe more you talk about these things,
you bet have a better understanding forone another. I don't know what this
workplace environment was at SpaceX. Ido know that there seems to be a
pattern and a consistent complaint about placeslike SpaceX and Tesla regarding real permissive work
(26:26):
environments. That's all I'm gonna say. Because this is not the first type
of lawsuit that we've seen come outof SpaceX or Tesla being directly attributable to
Elon Musk and then how it worksout in the court is how they work
it out in the court. ButWednesday's lawsuit accuses SpaceX and Musk of retaliation
(26:48):
as I was saying, and wrongfultermination in violation of California law, and
further accuses the company of sexual harassmentand sex discrimination. We'll see what happens
later on. But I I thinkthis is an ongoing conversation as far as
the obvious stuff we probably all know. You know, just remember Elon Musk
is a visionary genius. He is. He is. Keep that in mind.
(27:12):
He is, or at least soI'm told, he is infallible.
He is perfect, absolutely godlike.Yeah, yes, and kind of a
creed. Maybe the next president ofthe United States, I think not.
Well, it doesn't matter if he'sa naturalized citizen. You know, the
Constitution doesn't matter anymore. Oh yeah, did you know? Oh yes,
(27:32):
that's true. I guess I lookedaway for a moment. Sorry, it's
later with Mo Kelli Cafi AM sixforty. We are live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. And before we goto break, I got to tell you
about this. Don your favorite sunhat, dapper bow tie and floaty floral

six forty dot com, forward slashPolo to enter with Kelly six. We're
(28:52):
live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app andwe have heard you loud and clear.
You want more stup mo tricks.So I guess going forward, there's going
to be more stupid Mo tricks onsocial media. And if you're tuning in
just now or you're coming late tothe show. Earlier in the show,
(29:14):
I was just reading that it wascompletely spontaneous, it was completely organic.
I said in the third hour thatwe would talk about how the twenty twenty
four Olympics is going to debut highlevel breakdancing. And it got me thinking,
well, I should have tried tocompete. I should have gone to
the Olympic trials. Maybe i'd bein Paris right now. And so I
(29:34):
said, you know what, Iwant to see what I still have left
in the tank with little breakdancing.So I went into the kitchen a hard
linoleum floor, pushed back the tables, and I said, let me just
let me just see if there's alittle something there. So we put up
a video on Instagram at later withmo Kelly at mister mo Kelly, you'll
(29:56):
find it in both places. Andthen it got me really thinking, it's
like, wait a minute, breakingwas not even my real thing. It
was pop locking. And so wewaited at the next commercial break, we
waited for Mark Runner to finish hisnews and then we walked into the news
booth to bother him to show himwhat pop locking was, show him how
(30:18):
it was done. So there aretwo videos up right now, stupid mo
tricks at later with mo Kelly atmister mo Kelly on Instagram and you can
see the videos there and you cango ahead and mock me. No mockery
happening. I could have done muchbetter with the break dancing, you know,
and I might have to do anotherround of that in a day or
(30:40):
so. Always sprung this on you. Well think of it this way.
People were saying, like, Oh, you're gonna have to get a back
surgery, You're gonna get hurt,You're gonna break your hip, I said,
But people don't know. And thisis not a boast, This is
just a fact. One. Istretch every single day, and I asked
more of my body when it comesto hop, keto and martial arts.
So breakdancing is nothing. I'm doingmattwork more times than not. So getting
(31:04):
on the floors is not a bigdeal or anything. I'd be more concerned
if I hadn't tried to stay inshape for the past twenty thirty years.
But I've you know, I've alwaysbeen mobile in that regard. Well,
I got it. I gotta wait, Mark, I have the next thing.
I got the next thing you justbrought to my mind. Let's get
some boards and me. You wouldMark do a board breaking combination? Do
(31:29):
you leave me the hell out ofthat, dude? No, Mark,
we can. We can do someserious board breaking competition. That would be
awesome. Wait, board breaking,yes, not breakdancing. No, break
boards no, yes, line upboards three four? See it was.
Let's let's go through them. Yeah. I don't mind breaking stuff, but
let me tell you my main issue. When you came into the news booth
and started moving around like that,I thought I was getting a lap dance.
(31:52):
No, because if you're going toget a lap dance, you'd have
to pay it up front. Okay, well, now I know you gotta
put the money in my cheese string. I had nothing to talk. I
don't carry cash. I gotta startbringing cash to work, don't Marky.
Mark can be as fun as hewants to be. But he uh Moe
(32:15):
put the moves like you would notbelieve. And that is not an exaggeration.
So make sure to check out laterwith mo Kelly on Instagram because he
threw down. Hey, I gota lot of mo. I got a
lot of mo. There's more wherethat came from. So we have to
think of more stupid mo tricks todo. I don't know, the breaking
boards is cool thing. Maybe I'llcome in and do some spin kicks or
(32:37):
something or really now that I mighthurt myself doing trying to do too much.
Yeah, yeah, you can definitelyput yourself out with that strikes first.
No, look, let's kicks,some sidekicks. Do you know some
pound strikes? Yeah, we shoulddo We got mark, got any suggestions,
none that I can say on theair. And no, we're not
(32:59):
going to do spicy foods and milk. No, I've already been through that.
Not a taste test, that's adip test. I really. I
mean, if you remember that storyabout me burning myself on the hot food
and having to soak and a cartonof milk. I didn't talk about the
size of the carton or anything juvenilelike that. I wanted but stop myself
(33:22):
from putting the milk on the deskwhere the coffee machine in the newsroom was,
because that is how mature I wasback even way back then. So
you were did you not just hearthe nail on bus store? Well,
this is that was you in thenews. Now, this is way back
when people were still walking around givingeach other's shoulder massages in the place.
(33:42):
So a little bit of a littlebit of used milk, you know,
back then, and I'm always itlike the late nineties, I guess nobody
would have beat a E. Look, I was trying to explain to folks
you were weren't in the studio.I don't know if you heard Twalla,
but we were in the business inthe heyday of the time of the business.
The stuff that's happening now pales incomparison. It's not even I'm not
dismissing it. I'm just saying thestuff that we saw, and I saw
(34:07):
female colleagues endore. Oh. Imean, look back in the day at
the Beat, it was the wildwild West. The things that were happening
didn't matter. The gender didn't mattermatter. There were things that some of
the young ladies on the street teamthat they would do and you're like,
oh, Keith Doki. They wouldliterally be out. I remember being out
(34:30):
on the street team hit and oneof the ladies that were on the street
team said, Okay, all youwomen out here, you're not doing enough
to win these tickets. Let melet's go Martin Grass style. Let's see
let's see who's got the best flatand they were just having women flash and
getting you know, applause from theaudience to give away tickets seeing that happen.
(34:52):
So it happened live. Yeah,so that's how we used to do.
Yeah, I would tell my Eminestory. I just can't tell it
anymore because they probably wouldn't be receivedin the same way. Oh, shooting
him out, Yeah, it wasalmost well, okay, try real quickly,
(35:12):
real quickly. I was working forInterscope Records and this was I want
to say, maybe two thousand andone issue. Whenever Eminem had come out
with this first album. We wentto this Impact convention which was in Miami,
and I was working for a guyby the name of Kevin Black.
He was one of the original promotersof Death Row Records. He was very
(35:34):
different. He sounded like wolf ManJack if you ever listened to him,
but he had a very very rawpersonality. There was nothing that he wouldn't
do to help promote a record.And we were promoting Eminem's first album.
So we went to Impact and wehad all these DJs from all around the
country and my job was to goget the talent. Well, if you
don't know what that means. Thatmeans get the higher the entertainment for the
(35:59):
evening performers, the dancers, howeveryou want to characterize it. On this
occasion, I also had to comeup with an idea for promotion. I'm
not proud of this, it's justthe truth. There was a contest where
we had all the DJs, Iwant to say, maybe twenty to thirty
of them lined up in a roomin the room the lights are on,
(36:21):
okay, and the contest was youhad the talent the dancers that I procured
locally, because it would have beena federal offensive. I got them from
out of state. They were local. The contest was any one of the
dancers who could bring the DJs tohappiness full joy first. Each person would
(36:45):
get a thousand dollars. Yes,full completion. If I am six forty,
we live everybody. I heart radio. At we tried less stimulating talk.
It ended poor k s I kostHD two Los Angeles, Orange County
lies everywhere on the Young Art Radio
You're listening to Later with Moe Kellyon demand from KFI AM six forty.
Let's talk tech with Marshall Carlier,who joins me in the studio. Marshall
Caller, is great to see you. Happy summer. The weather is beautiful.
I hope your drive was a littlebit easier. Wait, we've got
to turn on our microphone. Hey, the weather's beautiful for what two hours
(00:22):
ago. I'll take it. I'lltake it. It's better than that June
gloom that we've been seeing. Thatmay gray. Look at that. Look
at that out the window. It'ssad. It's eight o'clock and you're still
light out. I know I lovethat, I really do. I do.
Because you could see the plants,the trees, the flowers in that
Wonky building, the Warner Brothers building. Well, it's a beautiful looking building.
(00:46):
It's just nobody in it. Ijust wonder what was the inspo for
the design. It's it's interesting.You know some architect was paid very well
for the design. I wasn't thatperson. So I don't know if I
can pass judgment. If you havea chance to look it up, I
mean, it's it's kind of you. I'll post a picture of yes,
(01:08):
please, I'll do please. DoYou had the opportunity to watch the Tesla
annual meeting. Now I did thatfor us. Believe me, it wasn't
an opportunity, but it is.When we talk about Tesla, they are
leading the way when it comes toEV's and I would say, as Tesla
goes, so goes the industry inmany respects. Did we learn anything about
(01:33):
where Tesla was headed and where otherEV companies may go? Well, you
know, it was a little lessjust about Tesla the car. It was
about what Tesla's got in mind forthe future. And I liked that because
I mean, it's got the car. Fine. Here was one of the
things Elon Well, first of all, you know, Elon did get his
(01:53):
gigantic salary. He did get it. He did get it, but that's
based on perform mormanths. So Idon't know that it's that horrible that he's
making a quack a billion dollars.Well, they had from a stock valuation
standpoint, they had a really roughyear. Yeah, but it was originally
given to him in twenty eighteen.So there's all kinds of legal complications that
(02:17):
I don't understand. I just saygood for him because I don't know anybody
else who would care to run acompany with so much stuff going on.
So he came up with one ideawhich I thought was crazy, So not
really crazy crazy smart. Each Teslaas a computer. It right, Each
(02:38):
computer are not it's not being used, it's parked in a garage. When
the Tesla is, you know,around, the amount of computing power available
for it to do other things ishuge. Think about that. So what
if he built a network that peoplewould agree to that when you're not using
(03:02):
your car, Tesla could use yourcomputer for whatever. Think about Amazon web
Services. Amazon web Services generated twentyfive billion dollars. Okay, I understand
the practical application of Amazon Web Services. What I don't see as of yet
(03:22):
would be the reason to allow Teslathe company to use that computer in the
car in some capacity beyond the car. He didn't talk exactly, but what
if they paid you? What ifthey gave you a deal on a new
battery? What if? I mean, there is any number of compensations.
Also, he talked about a Teslafleet. Now let's say you're not using
(03:45):
your Tesla. Okay, uh,you wanted to make money for you once
self driving cars. Get there,push a button on your app, and
your car becomes part of the fleetand become like an uber driver without a
person in it, and you makesome money that scarce the hell out of
me. Scares more than that.That's right, we're both thinking the same
(04:10):
thing, but creative thinking. Well, he's already said that he wanted all
of his platforms, even including X, to be kind of one stop shops,
where it is a commercial marketplace,an exchange of money banking and can
do more than what it's initially setout to do exactly well, and that's
(04:31):
the thing. The cyber truck,for example, right now, it's only
sold in the US. I sawa cyber truck. This has nothing to
do with this, but somebody hadpolished it up. You ever drive behind
an oil tanker with the polished backand you could see a mirror finishes.
The whole car looked like that.I don't like the look of the cyber
(04:51):
trucks, but I like the onesthat are they've either had it wrapped in
a certain er right, or likea Matte black something like that. I
like, we said, Matt blackone just right. I don't like the
stainless steel aluminum, half dish,half done. Yeah, you know,
have you finished that car? Canyou put put a little polish on it?
Something? Just like the Deloreans.If you're old enough to remember the
(05:14):
Deloreans, they looked fine when theyfirst came off the lot, but they
did not age or get or theydid not age well as far as the
look of that stainless steel. Andfor those of you who don't remember the
Deloreans, if you watched Back tothe Future Michael J. Fox and Back
to the Future, that was Doc'scar and it was a beautiful car.
Yes, and you know, Idefinitely go out with any guy who had
(05:38):
one at the time. Yeah,you know your husband sitting right there.
That was so long afo, butI'm still here. You know, I
don't want to hear about them.Well, you know, it was a
long time ago. But they aregoing to expand, expand the cyber truck
past the US, but they'd haveto do it totally redesign for Europe and
(05:59):
Chinese markets and there will not bean international one before the year. Did
I read this right? That they'restarting to market the cyber trucks to law
enforcement, that they would be usedin a law enforcement capacity. He did
not talk about that, but Ithink what a brilliant idea get those little
protesters. That's Marcia Colliers, shesaid that. Marcia said that could get
(06:24):
me in trouble. No, Ijust in whatever. If policemen need something
that looks like an armored truck,well, I always talk about always think
about the practicality and utility of it. Does it provide a purpose? Does
it serve a purpose? Yeah?Yeah, it would help. You know.
I wasn't about any protesters in particular. I'm talking about helping the police
(06:48):
get done what they have to getdone. And police, you know,
have never really had anything since theCrown vic that they used the Ford interceptors.
I think for the most part,those are ubiquitous, they're just about
everywhere. But something like a cybertruck, I would love to hear someone
(07:11):
from law enforcement say yeay or nayon that as far as whether it could
be used or how it would beused. Real quick, before we go
break, he did talk about theOptimists his robot humanoid helper robots, and
I'm sitting there listening to it.Yeah, yeah, yeah, you'll be
all able to customize the personality,customize the voice, and we'll get to
know you as well. No,and that's the story they gave me.
(07:34):
Sony gave me on My Robot Dog. That really it's But anyway, when
he finally said wouldn't it be greatto have your own C three po,
he totally sold me right there.Well, there's C three po and there's
I Robot and that could go eitherway, right, But that's the thing.
(07:57):
It probably starts out a C threepo, then all of a sudden,
it's I Robot and is trying tokill you. Yeah, there's that,
But maybe if you're just really niceto it, I don't know,
I don't know. See, that'sthe thing we'll find out or can turn
into the determinator. It's Later withmo Kelly can if I Am six forty
one live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. We're going to talk about WWDC twenty
four, the Apple Developer Convention.In just a moment. You're listening to
(08:20):
Later with Mo Kelly on demand fromKFI AM six forty Now. Marsha Collier,
I am not one of these Applefanboys like maybe Mark Ronner. Okay,
I'm I don't have anything Apple inmy life, but I understand the
importance of Apple to some people.I make it very clear. I'm a
(08:41):
Google guy, I'm an Android guy. But the WWDC twenty four Developers Conference
is still very consequential, and that'swhy I try to watch it, and
I, you know, I wantto see what they're doing. Maybe they're
doing something fabulous that I'll be jealousof and will make me go to the
(09:03):
other side because I too, aman Android. I write books about Android.
I love Android, so you know, and especially having a pixel phone,
Google drops all their tests and secretstuff on us. It's immersing,
yes, yes, we get itfirst. If it doesn't work out,
then it disappears. Is the Appleexperience improving? When I say improving,
(09:30):
there's certain things that the Google experiencecan do or does differently than Apple,
and if you like those things,you tend to be an Android supporter.
Obviously Apple has a very loyal fanbase, but in terms of software innovation,
I would say for the most part, they tend to trail Google.
(09:52):
They do lead the way in hardwareinnovation. Okay, okay, well let's
talk a little turkey here. Let'stalk about this. First of all,
everything was the big deal was allabout AI AI AI AI. How there's
going to be AI And this allreminds me of how do you remember when
everything was going to be five Gfive G everything? Oh? Yeah,
(10:15):
that does Did you know that ifwe continue on the track we're going by
twenty twenty seven, the calculated energyusage will be the same annual energy as
the Netherlands just by AI, Awhole country's worth of electricity being used just
(10:39):
to push AI. If they gothrough with all of these things. Now
we don't have a grid that's holdingbarely everything together that we need. But
hey, you know you can't havea gas pool heater anymore because electric electricity.
Right, So there's that, andthat's a subject for another time.
(11:00):
But yes, everything was on AI. It can help write emails, reports,
personal text messages, but I don'tneed help with that. I don't
want help with that. So wheredoes that This was just a hypothetical general
questions. Where does that? Whatdoes that mean for me? It means
(11:20):
they get to read your stuff,point because they have to read it to
then offer an alternative. Yes,someone from the station was coming down in
the elevator and they got to popup from Google. And I'm sure you're
seeing them too. And it's aboutGoogle AI. Want Google AI to help
you. What do I do withthis? I said, push it down,
don't agree to it. Just don'tdon't let it infest your phone because
(11:45):
once, once it's out of thebag, it's kind of like herpes.
It sticks around. That is aninteresting analogy. I wasn't quite ready for
that. I thought you were goingto make some sort of grandiose technological paris.
It is like this era of theindustrial resolution. No, it's more
like Herpe's. Yeah right, itjust doesn't go away, keeps coming back.
(12:07):
But anyway, so the AI isgoing to be everywhere. It can
fake voices, it can do allthe things that I really have no interest.
It'll draw pictures for you, whichis great. I guess that's coming
right now with Google Gemini under GooglePhones, which I keep saying no to.
(12:31):
You may not be a Marvel fanlike we are, but I know
Mark and Toula would get this.There's this line line see, oh,
that's right, that's right. There'sa line in Age of Ultron where Ultron,
this super AI robot, basically issaying that humans have this this substance
called vibranium, and the only thingthat they can think of is to turn
(12:52):
it into a Frisbee, which wasCaptain in America's shield. Yeah. Yeah.
The comparison I'm making here is like, Okay, we have this AI
technology in capability, but we're justmaking pictures with it. We're not really
seemingly trying to do anything. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't kid yourself.
Don't you think the government's been I'mjust talking about us, you know.
(13:15):
I was like, oh, let'smake a I take pictures of Donald
Trump or whatever. We're not.Oh yeah, and it'll cook your meals
for you and everything. My goodness. Yeah, we're just scratching the surface.
It would seem. It would seem. But like we said, remember
the story of five G. Sothere's a new Seri which is also driven
(13:35):
by AI, and it can setan alarm late at night without waking the
person sleeping next to you. Waitwait wait wait doesn't Google do that already?
Yeah? Okay, go ahead,continue, It'll clean up your photos
the AI wait wait wait wait waitdoesn't Google photos back up? Doesn't I
do that already? Well? Theseabilities are on Pixel and Samsung phones,
(13:58):
but it will remove unwanted people.Wait, wait, my Google that's called
magic eraser. Yeah, okay,all right, okay, but with Apple
Intelligence, you can also search forphotos with more natural search terms, like
pics of Gina riding a skateboard.I'm pretty sure I can do that on
my phone right now. Yeah,and kind of Google Photos. Yeah.
(14:20):
We've been able to do that foryears. Okay, okay. Now they're
having something brand new called gen Moji. You might think of something we might
know as emoji Kitchen when it takesto emojis and mashes. Yeah, yeah,
that's what it is. It's prettyexciting. When one an eggplant writing
(14:41):
a cheeseburger, you can probably putthat together. Okay, but an egg
plant is not an egg plant inthe world of emojis. Egg plant,
right, never mind? Never mind? Okay, you know anyway, you
can also customize your home screen.Wait wait, you couldn't custom is your
home screen on an iPhone? MarkRonner? Can you customize your home screen
(15:03):
on an iPhone? It does notinterest me the least bit, but I'm
excited for people I've never tried.It's never occurred to me. Okay,
Robin, you say you can customizeyour iPhone home screen? Is that correct?
Yes? Okay, what what doesthat allow you to do? What
is the extent of the customization.It's not very extent. Okay, all
(15:28):
right, I have a wallpaper andI get to move apps around. Oh
well, I got twelve o clocks, which is so cool. We have
all sorts of widgets we could putthere. We could actually put a different
launcher on top of it if wewant to all together, different home screen.
Yeah, we could move but multiplewe're talking here about Apple, and
(15:56):
Apple has a new os Sequoia orMax, and they're improving the watch and
oh it has a new passwords app. I thought we like Google has a
passwords maniture. We have Google passwords. Yeah, but this is going to
allow them to generate strong passwords forall their logins. Okay, welcome to
(16:21):
twenty and fourteen. But okay,okay, tapp to cash, Smarter air
pods, and Primetime TV plus.It's the same thing as Amazon Prime Video
but feature. Yeah, all right, and so for all on the Apple
(16:44):
stock. Oh and the Vision Pro, there's a new edition, even bigger
and better. We we covered theVision Pro and wasn't ready for prime time,
so maybe it's ready for afternoon.So there you go. And Honestly,
I am not laughing at Apple.I think Apple did great work in
the days of Steve Jobs, andI think he would be spinning in his
grave. And here's the thing.Steve Jobs had an understanding of ingenuity and
(17:11):
innovation. I don't know, andI'm not an Apple fan, so I'm
speaking as an outsider. I don'tknow if they have the same type of
innovation material innovation that I just get. I just get really happy every time
my phone comes up with a newthing and I'm going to try it.
I try I answer a phone calland before I get to it, it
(17:33):
answers for me, Hello, thisis Marcia. I love this. I
love this, and it asks whoit is if there's no phone number.
And now, just so you know, the next thing they're adding in is
they will run the phone number tosee who that is that's calling you,
because you know, sometimes you don'tanswer a call and you always wonder who
is that person? You go andlook it up on Google. Yeah,
(17:56):
yeah, no, it'll do itright in your phone now. But you
know that's not to say that Applewon't come up with it soon. Look,
I'm thinking maybe twenty thirty two.They're in there Marshall Collier. I
have to go, but I appreciateyou coming in and letting us know that
we're not missing anything on the otherside of the of the technological world.
(18:17):
But I still want to hear fromall of you and listen to my podcast
on the iHeartRadio app. Just searchMarsha Collier and you'll find me in between
the mo Kellys. That was prettysmooth. Gotta do this all the time.
It's Later with mo Kelly, cafI AM six forty. We're live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. You'relistening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand
(18:37):
from KFI AM six forty and SpaceX, another company under the direction of Elon
Musk, is in the news.SpaceX has been sued by engineers who were
fired after accusing Elon Musk of sexisma case of wrongful termination. The engineers,
(19:00):
four women and four men, claimMusk ordered their firing back in twenty
twenty two after they circulated a lettercalling Elon Musk a distraction and embarrassment and
I quote also urged executives to disavowsexually charged comments he had made on social
media. The lawsuit was filed instate court here in Los Angeles. Let
(19:23):
me just stop there. Those arethe general specifics. And we live in
a world now and also an employmentenvironment post me too. And also we
had this social media aspect where it'snot just what happens in the office,
but also what happens outside of theoffice on social media. The world,
(19:45):
the work world is very different nowthan when I started back in the early
nineteen nineties. It's just different.I'm not saying that it's worse. I'm
just saying it's different how And Ihave some general rules, like I do
not comment or compliment women on howthey look. I don't want anything to
(20:07):
be misconstrued. That's just me andfor other people. In fact, I
was talking about this. I waskidding around with Bill Handle when I was
speaking to him earlier this morning,when I was doing a hit with him.
But it's a conversation topic that doescome up often in the office where
those lines are, where those boundariesare. And some people are of the
opinion, hey, if you're notdoing anything wrong, you have nothing to
(20:30):
worry about. But it's not justwhat you say, it's how it may
land, how it may be received, just because you, in your mind
may think Hey, that's a nicelooking dress you have on. It accentuates
your curves out of the guy's mouth. He may think that's a compliment.
I it's a woman. She maythink it's he's being a pig and it's
(20:52):
offensive and it's worthy of going toHR. I'm at a different point in
my career than I was in mytwenties, and I'm quite sure I said
some things working in the music industrythat I can't say today. I'm pretty
sure I can't remember off the topof my head, but I'm pretty sure.
Let's just say I did. AndKeana, you are at a different
point in your career and you're working, i would say, relatively near the
(21:15):
beginning of your professional career, andyou are doing it in a post me
too world? Is there a linefor you? And I know you're not
speaking for all women, I'm notsaying that, but are there things that
you notice or that you find offensiveor is there like a general rule book
that you follow when dealing with othercoworkers? Usually there is a line for
(21:41):
me, like I can joke around, I can mess around. I feel
like I have that like sarcastic radaron myself where I'm like, I know
when somebody is doing it as doingsomething as a joke or not, and
when that joke pushes the line alittle bit. And so in instances where
some might be complimenting me, butcomplimenting me in a way that makes it
(22:04):
like something that my fiance would tellme, that's a little too far.
Okay, let me go back tothe story. The lawsuit says that Elon
Musk's conduct fostered a pervasive sexist cultureat SpaceX, where female engineers were routinely
subjected to harassment and sexist comments,and the concerns about workplace culture were ignored.
(22:26):
Senior engineers, for example, usedeuphemisms for sexual acts and male genitals
to describe rocket components. According tothe lawsuit, I know when you work
in entertainment, it's a much moreloose environment. Perfect example, I was
kidding with Marshall Collier in the lastsegment on air about eggplant emojis, and
(22:51):
if you don't know what that means, well you need to go Google and
catch up. But I'm saying youstill have to be mindful in the these
work environments. That's different now,and I wouldn't say that there is a
pervasive sexist culture across all workplaces.But I have worked for some places where
it definitely existed, and that waseven before me too, And I wonder,
(23:18):
you know, like, for example, I don't do hugs. I
don't do hugs in the office.Some places they do, some people they
feel comfortable with it. I don'tbecause I'm always concerned about something being misconstrued.
So I always defer, and Ierr on the side of caution.
I don't know, Mark, whatabout you, in your many years and
working in various newsrooms and environments.Well, Bethany hugged me earlier, and
(23:41):
I'm wondering if if I should sueher. Well, as funny as that
is, there's a lot of truthto that, I will defend Bethany,
She asked. She asked, shedid get consent. My general rule is
I try never to motor boat womenin the office. How's that is that?
Okay? What is motor boating?Nothing? That's what I thought.
(24:06):
No times has changed. I remembermy first newspaper, people would routinely walk
around and give shoulder rubs, andthat's not a thing anymore. Look,
when I worked in the music business, the stuff that they talk about now,
what is going on at SpaceX.To take it back to the story
is nothing in comparison what we weredealing with in the music industry. I
won't tell you the person's name,but there's a guest who I work with
(24:27):
in the music industry, and shewas telling us the story off air of
how she was working for a musicexecutive. Remember when we talked about Puff
Daddy Diddy and all the stuff thatyou know was going on years ago.
It's I don't be surprised now.Well, she was telling us a story
about a music executive and I thinkit was her boss who asked her to
come into the office and he laidhis Johnson on the table to proposition her
(24:53):
subtle that's called Tuesday or it wasback then. You know, the world
has changed so much you think that'sunthinkable. Now of course that says,
of course that's harassment. Of coursethey should sue. But it was so
pervasive and permissive back then. Justright on the table, Yes, literally
slap a dictionary down on top ofit or something. You the first part
(25:15):
of that word is correct. Yes, Well, I'm looking at the photos
of your rocket now and I'm notsaying Elon Musk isn't a creep, but
you know that these rockets, theydo look an awful lot like uh well,
if you look at Blue Origin mostdefinitely Oh whoa, yeah, please,
I'm being serious Now. That doesn'tmean that it's then okay to have
(25:40):
fallus jokes in the office all daylong to either intentionally or unintentionally make people
uncomfortable. I'm not saying that.I am saying that it's probably more widespread
than people are willing to admit,you know, and I and I appreciate.
I just had a conversation with thecod work or today asking about some
(26:00):
other things where the line began andended with certain things about race. And
I appreciate that, if only becausethe more you talk about these things,
you bet have a better understanding forone another. I don't know what this
workplace environment was at SpaceX. Ido know that there seems to be a
pattern and a consistent complaint about placeslike SpaceX and Tesla regarding real permissive work
(26:26):
environments. That's all I'm gonna say. Because this is not the first type
of lawsuit that we've seen come outof SpaceX or Tesla being directly attributable to
Elon Musk and then how it worksout in the court is how they work
it out in the court. ButWednesday's lawsuit accuses SpaceX and Musk of retaliation
(26:48):
as I was saying, and wrongfultermination in violation of California law, and
further accuses the company of sexual harassmentand sex discrimination. We'll see what happens
later on. But I I thinkthis is an ongoing conversation as far as
the obvious stuff we probably all know. You know, just remember Elon Musk
is a visionary genius. He is. He is. Keep that in mind.
(27:12):
He is, or at least soI'm told, he is infallible.
He is perfect, absolutely godlike.Yeah, yes, and kind of a
creed. Maybe the next president ofthe United States, I think not.
Well, it doesn't matter if he'sa naturalized citizen. You know, the
Constitution doesn't matter anymore. Oh yeah, did you know? Oh yes,
(27:32):
that's true. I guess I lookedaway for a moment. Sorry, it's
later with Mo Kelli Cafi AM sixforty. We are live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. And before we goto break, I got to tell you

live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app andwe have heard you loud and clear.
You want more stup mo tricks.So I guess going forward, there's going
to be more stupid Mo tricks onsocial media. And if you're tuning in
just now or you're coming late tothe show. Earlier in the show,
(29:14):
I was just reading that it wascompletely spontaneous, it was completely organic.
I said in the third hour thatwe would talk about how the twenty twenty
four Olympics is going to debut highlevel breakdancing. And it got me thinking,
well, I should have tried tocompete. I should have gone to
the Olympic trials. Maybe i'd bein Paris right now. And so I
(29:34):
said, you know what, Iwant to see what I still have left
in the tank with little breakdancing.So I went into the kitchen a hard
linoleum floor, pushed back the tables, and I said, let me just
let me just see if there's alittle something there. So we put up
a video on Instagram at later withmo Kelly at mister mo Kelly, you'll
(29:56):
find it in both places. Andthen it got me really thinking, it's
like, wait a minute, breakingwas not even my real thing. It
was pop locking. And so wewaited at the next commercial break, we
waited for Mark Runner to finish hisnews and then we walked into the news
booth to bother him to show himwhat pop locking was, show him how
(30:18):
it was done. So there aretwo videos up right now, stupid mo
tricks at later with mo Kelly atmister mo Kelly on Instagram and you can
see the videos there and you cango ahead and mock me. No mockery
happening. I could have done muchbetter with the break dancing, you know,
and I might have to do anotherround of that in a day or
(30:40):
so. Always sprung this on you. Well think of it this way.
People were saying, like, Oh, you're gonna have to get a back
surgery, You're gonna get hurt,You're gonna break your hip, I said,
But people don't know. And thisis not a boast, This is
just a fact. One. Istretch every single day, and I asked
more of my body when it comesto hop, keto and martial arts.
So breakdancing is nothing. I'm doingmattwork more times than not. So getting
(31:04):
on the floors is not a bigdeal or anything. I'd be more concerned
if I hadn't tried to stay inshape for the past twenty thirty years.
But I've you know, I've alwaysbeen mobile in that regard. Well,
I got it. I gotta wait, Mark, I have the next thing.
I got the next thing you justbrought to my mind. Let's get
some boards and me. You wouldMark do a board breaking combination? Do
(31:29):
you leave me the hell out ofthat, dude? No, Mark,
we can. We can do someserious board breaking competition. That would be
awesome. Wait, board breaking,yes, not breakdancing. No, break
boards no, yes, line upboards three four? See it was.
Let's let's go through them. Yeah. I don't mind breaking stuff, but
let me tell you my main issue. When you came into the news booth
and started moving around like that,I thought I was getting a lap dance.
(31:52):
No, because if you're going toget a lap dance, you'd have
to pay it up front. Okay, well, now I know you gotta
put the money in my cheese string. I had nothing to talk. I
don't carry cash. I gotta startbringing cash to work, don't Marky.
Mark can be as fun as hewants to be. But he uh Moe
(32:15):
put the moves like you would notbelieve. And that is not an exaggeration.
So make sure to check out laterwith mo Kelly on Instagram because he
threw down. Hey, I gota lot of mo. I got a
lot of mo. There's more wherethat came from. So we have to
think of more stupid mo tricks todo. I don't know, the breaking
boards is cool thing. Maybe I'llcome in and do some spin kicks or
(32:37):
something or really now that I mighthurt myself doing trying to do too much.
Yeah, yeah, you can definitelyput yourself out with that strikes first.
No, look, let's kicks,some sidekicks. Do you know some
pound strikes? Yeah, we shoulddo We got mark, got any suggestions,
none that I can say on theair. And no, we're not
(32:59):
going to do spicy foods and milk. No, I've already been through that.
Not a taste test, that's adip test. I really. I
mean, if you remember that storyabout me burning myself on the hot food
and having to soak and a cartonof milk. I didn't talk about the
size of the carton or anything juvenilelike that. I wanted but stop myself
(33:22):
from putting the milk on the deskwhere the coffee machine in the newsroom was,
because that is how mature I wasback even way back then. So
you were did you not just hearthe nail on bus store? Well,
this is that was you in thenews. Now, this is way back
when people were still walking around givingeach other's shoulder massages in the place.
(33:42):
So a little bit of a littlebit of used milk, you know,
back then, and I'm always itlike the late nineties, I guess nobody
would have beat a E. Look, I was trying to explain to folks
you were weren't in the studio.I don't know if you heard Twalla,
but we were in the business inthe heyday of the time of the business.
The stuff that's happening now pales incomparison. It's not even I'm not
dismissing it. I'm just saying thestuff that we saw, and I saw
(34:07):
female colleagues endore. Oh. Imean, look back in the day at
the Beat, it was the wildwild West. The things that were happening
didn't matter. The gender didn't mattermatter. There were things that some of
the young ladies on the street teamthat they would do and you're like,
oh, Keith Doki. They wouldliterally be out. I remember being out
(34:30):
on the street team hit and oneof the ladies that were on the street
team said, Okay, all youwomen out here, you're not doing enough
to win these tickets. Let melet's go Martin Grass style. Let's see
let's see who's got the best flatand they were just having women flash and
getting you know, applause from theaudience to give away tickets seeing that happen.
(34:52):
So it happened live. Yeah,so that's how we used to do.
Yeah, I would tell my Eminestory. I just can't tell it
anymore because they probably wouldn't be receivedin the same way. Oh, shooting
him out, Yeah, it wasalmost well, okay, try real quickly,
(35:12):
real quickly. I was working forInterscope Records and this was I want
to say, maybe two thousand andone issue. Whenever Eminem had come out
with this first album. We wentto this Impact convention which was in Miami,
and I was working for a guyby the name of Kevin Black.
He was one of the original promotersof Death Row Records. He was very
(35:34):
different. He sounded like wolf ManJack if you ever listened to him,
but he had a very very rawpersonality. There was nothing that he wouldn't
do to help promote a record.And we were promoting Eminem's first album.
So we went to Impact and wehad all these DJs from all around the
country and my job was to goget the talent. Well, if you
don't know what that means. Thatmeans get the higher the entertainment for the
(35:59):
evening performers, the dancers, howeveryou want to characterize it. On this
occasion, I also had to comeup with an idea for promotion. I'm
not proud of this, it's justthe truth. There was a contest where
we had all the DJs, Iwant to say, maybe twenty to thirty
of them lined up in a roomin the room the lights are on,
(36:21):
okay, and the contest was youhad the talent the dancers that I procured
locally, because it would have beena federal offensive. I got them from
out of state. They were local. The contest was any one of the
dancers who could bring the DJs tohappiness full joy first. Each person would
(36:45):
get a thousand dollars. Yes,full completion. If I am six forty,
we live everybody. I heart radio. At we tried less stimulating talk.
It ended poor k s I kostHD two Los Angeles, Orange County
