You're listening to Later with Moe Kellyon demand from KFI AM six forty.
It's now Wellness Wednesday with Claudine Cooper. You can always find her at Claudinecooper
dot com. She is back.Claudine is good to see you. In
the interest of full disclosure, youkicked my ass on Saturday. Oh,
I was so happy to see youat the free community work. I'm what
(00:21):
a surprise. I had a freeSaturday because my dogeon, my martial arts
studio was closed for the weekend.I didn't have to teach classes, so
I said, let me go checkout what Claudine is doing. I was
the first person there. I gotthere early, stretched, warmed up,
and then they had another two hundredpeople or so show up. I don't
I'm destimating, but it was aroundtwo hundred people it was. We began
(00:42):
right at nine o'clock, maybe nineoh three. We went to about nine
point fifty three non stop. Youallowed us a moment to get some water
along the way, but we wereto keep moving the full time. There
are people of varying levels of athleticismand impact, you know, high impact,
lower impact, but it was agreat, great time. You work
the room as it were so well, and I appreciate being able to see
(01:06):
what you do firsthand. The communityloves you. Oh, I love the
community. They do more for methan I do for them. That's what
I say all the time, becausehonestly, I couldn't teach group fitness without
the group. Right. I sawchildren, I saw young adults, I
saw older adults. I presume grandparents. That the age demographic could have been
(01:29):
anywhere from age five up to seventyfive. Absolutely every week that's how we
do it. Anybody who wants tobring their family or feels limited because they
have kids or grandkids this weekend,just come. I saw someone who brought
like five kids with them, andyou told them it's like, look,
you got five kids, don't letthat be an excuse, just bring them.
(01:49):
And all five of her kids loveto do the workout, So that's
just amazing to see. It's afull body workout from the tips of your
fingertips all the way down to yourtoes. You know, my hips are
not happy with you with all thesquats that we were doing. But but
but it's good because you're going tofind out where your weak points may be.
(02:10):
You'll and and honestly, not everyoneis ready to jump right in.
You may have to build yourself up. Yeah, but I highly recommend it,
highly recommend. Thank you so much, Mo. And you know,
I will say, looking out inthe crowd and seeing you there, I
was just so excited, like,oh, moll Kelly made it. Yes,
I say, I'm gonna show up. I'm not one of those gonna
(02:30):
say I wanna show up and younever show up. No, I'm going
to actually show up. And Iwasn't gonna let you see me pass out.
Okay, you had it in thebag, there was no let me
tell you. I can tell thepeople who I have to give the options
to right because they are obviously limitedin their movement and their mobility. So
one of the reasons why I invitepeople of all levels is because I've been
(02:53):
doing this so long now. Inmy younger years, I used to be
like, no excuses, get downand give me twenty push ups. I
don't care if it's outside, inside, whatever. But as I got older,
I had a little bit more compassionfor various ailments injuries. And you
(03:14):
know why, because I have variousailments and injuries. I was not ready
for the squat jumping jacks. Okay, they were five for like the first
twenty or thirty. Oh no,we went for a four minute. So
that is the other thing. Andsince we're on the topic of working out,
and if anyone's listening and wants toimprove their cardiovascular endurance, instead of
(03:35):
counting your jumping jacks, right,so, oh, I'm gonna do twenty
jacks instead of that time your jacks, So go for one minute without stopping
and see how that improves your overallbreath lung health endurance. I also appreciated
the balancing exercises. It's one thingto be able to move, but also
(03:58):
there is an isomet trick benefit tobeing able to hold yourself up and balancing
your way with your arm extended andstretching your knee in the other direction.
I appreciate that, and I knewwhat you were going for, and that
helps you right where you are.You may not be able to keep up
with all the calisthenics, but youcan definitely do that, which is very
very helpful. Well, you know, years ago I took a Strength and
(04:21):
Stability certification course for people who areinterested in possibly being in fitness. You
do have to maintain your continuing educationcredits. That's a huge part of you
know, being able to meet peoplewhere they are in different areas. Right.
So I took a strength and stabilitycourse, and some of the things
I found were that as functional humanbeings, we have to be able to
(04:45):
stop ourselves from falling, right,especially as we get older, especially because
we lose balance. But there areways that we can improve balance. In
one of those ways we did atthe workout, and I can telp people
who are listening how to do iteasily at home. You just raise your
two arms above your head. Youstand on your two feet, and then
(05:06):
you lift one foot off the groundand you see how long can I stay
here without wobbling? Right? Thenyou put that foot down and you lift
the other foot. Typically, formost of us, myself included, one
side is more balanced than the other. One side is our dominant side.
(05:27):
One side is our non dominant.Yeah, you started getting jiggy with it
when you had put one arm aboveyour head and then you start leaning forward
like in the Superman position. Onething I will do is get jiggy with
it. But don't tell anybody Iuse the word jiggy though, Okay,
but it was a really good time. And something else which surprises surprised me
in a pleasant way. A lotof men out there, A lot of
(05:49):
men. Look at the end ofthe day, I have been training athletes,
professional athletes, former athletes, amateurathletes, child athletes for almost thirty
years, and so my spectrum ofpeople that I reach is diverse. But
that's why I used to be reallyhardcore on people, because as a person
(06:10):
who wants to get the best outof an athlete, you really do have
to dig into that mental strength,right, And that's how I ended up
building a very i would say balancedgender base, right, because there are
men and there are women, dads, grandfathers, everybody's out there. Do
you find that we are we asmen are better or worse? Students?
(06:34):
Ooh? As far as listening,ooh, following instructions, keeping up the
thing I've noticed for myself. Ican't speak for all men or all women,
but I've noticed for myself. Maybeit's because I'm the sister of all
brothers, but I push myself morewhen I'm in a male dominated exercise environment.
(06:56):
In other words, if I say, hey, you guys, let's
drop and get me twenty what Ifind is that women will be like,
mm, I'm not really gonna giveher twenty push ups, or I'm gonna
give her twenty pushups on the knees, or I'm gonna give her eight push
ups and then I'm gonna stay herein a plank or whatever. With men,
men are going to try to outdoyou. Like she said twenty raw,
(07:19):
I'm gonna try it to twenty five. And so for me, I
like to push myself like that aswell, And that is one of the
reasons why I consider myself an athletictrainer, because I like to push myself
and so when I'm in the companyof men, I find that I can,
you know, rise to the challengeas well. And not only that,
(07:39):
there's a good music soundtrack which isgoing you have a live DJ at
nine in the morning helping us sweatit out. It's not some pre record
or whatever. No, a liveDJ which is responsive to you and the
moment and the exercises that you're askingfor. Oh, it's a party,
mo, it's a party on Saturdaymorning, every saturad every Saturday. And
(08:01):
how much does it cost? Threeninety nine. I don't know if you
can do any better than that,and I felt wonderful the rest of the
day. You know, I showeredbefore my workout, get another shower.
There's nothing better than the after workoutshower. Oh, nothing better. And
then I was ready to go onwith the rest of my day. And
I wish I could do it schedulewise every single week because I would be
(08:22):
right there. Not only are youclose enough and it's affordable, but it's
beneficial. It was absolutely wonderful,and I put some other folds on there
if I could, But go toClaudinecooper dot com right now so you can
see pictures, maybe some videos ofthese free community workouts right off of ninety
seventh and Prairie. That's where becauseI always go there and like to go
(08:43):
to the movies and what have you. It is absolutely wonderful. When we
come back, I want to talkabout as an extension of that, we
talked about how men may react toyou, but specifically talking about women and
how financial health and physical health oddlyenough may go hand in hand. Can
we talk about that. That's adeep topic, but I'll think of something
(09:05):
to say. Yeah, all right, it's late with mo Kelly. I'm
joined in studio by Claudine Cooper onthis Wellness Wednesday. Can'tf I AM six
forty Life Everywhere on the iHeartRadio appyou're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on
demand from KFI AM six forty WellnessWednesday with Claudine Cooper Always check her out
at Claudinecooper dot com and Clauding.Before the break, I was saying,
(09:26):
I thought when I came across thisarticle that there might be a link or
some sort of correlation between women's financialhealth and physical health. And let me
say it like this quote women spendon average eight percent less time on their
healthcare each month than men, whichnegatively impacts their health outcomes close quote that
Synchrony Health and Wellness CEO Vetto Casseus, and it goes on that women,
(09:52):
especially single mothers, face various challengeswhen it comes to accessing and affording necessary
health and wellness care. They offrom prior prioritize their families' needs over their
own, primarily due to the sametime and financial constraints. And this is
a part of a new study wherethey examine the economic factors which impact women's
(10:13):
health. Where do you come outon that, Is there any connection for
what you've seen. This is sucha great topic and I feel like financial
health and physical health are intertwined,right. But as you were talking about
the free community workout, I didn'treally get to give the backstory behind it.
(10:33):
And the backstory is that someone reachedout to me on Facebook and said,
hey, I can't afford my gymmembership anymore. And it was a
woman and she just said, doyou know of any free workout classes?
And at the time, I didn't. And I think about this a lot
because it was something in me thatsaid, I know what it feels like
(10:54):
to not have enough money for XYZ. Come on, man, And at
that moment, well, there's somany layers to it. But I was
at church, and you know,I'm a woman of faith and adah,
and then they preached a word andI was like, oh my god,
I'm supposed to help this woman,right, So I say I respond to
the message. I say, well, you know, I don't know of
(11:16):
any free classes, but let's goahead and meet up on Saturday at the
park and let's just create a class. I'll call a few other people and
we'll just make our own little class. That what happened after that is can
only be explained by people who dobelieve, because I can't make it make
(11:41):
sense. I literally started with sixpeople and now I mean hundreds, hundreds.
But the other point, beyond thefaith component, is if not for
the access you provided, her physicalhealth would fallen by the wayside, presumably
(12:01):
without you offering a way, makinga way out of no way, as
they say, making a way outof no way. It could have or
she could have been running, orshe could have been walking, or she
could have been doing a myriad ofother things. But I think for a
lot of us, we do betterwith a group. Oh I know,
I do. It's hard for meto self motivate. There's some things I
(12:24):
can do, but I can't pushmyself at home. I need someone with
eyes on me, almost judging me, for me to push through. Well,
in this case, we had asmall group. It was only like
five or six of us, andso we were each other's accountability partners.
And then there were ten, andthen there were twenty, and before you
(12:46):
knew it, people were bringing theirkids and they, Oh, my mom
wants to come, Can she come? Yeah? Of course, whoever wants
to come come, Because we're literallyat a park, But mo, I
didn't ask anybody for permission. Ijust went to the park. So when
the workout began to grow at thepark, we started to kind of disturb
(13:07):
the neighborhood. Right, were loud, we've got music. I mean you
were there, yes, so that'sthe vibes. It's a party on the
weekend, and the people who livedaround the park were like, uh so
I didn't sign up for this eightam party, right? And although I
felt like I was providing some kindof service to people who may not be
(13:30):
able to afford exercise or group fitnessclasses, I still wanted to be conscientious
of the people who lived in theneighborhood and not disturb them as well.
But as an outsider looking in,I suspect that those individuals who you were
assisting quote and turned on your headphones. Yeah, if it were not for
(13:58):
you, than most likely the mostlikely the use of button right by your
knee, by your knee by yeah, technical issues, Yeah, here we
go. If it were not foryou, then most likely those women,
predominantly women, yeah, would nothave been consistently working out. So I
(14:24):
think that the financial component still isvery impactful. Well, access and equity
is not just in one professional industry. Access and equity should be all across
every industry, bar none. That'sjust my personal opinion, my personal position.
If there is an area where peoplecannot access what I consider to be
(14:50):
our birthright, which is movement andcommunity, then if I see a need,
I fell a need. I startedworking at a gym almost a year
go. The gym is in Inglewood, California. It is the first gym
of this caliber to be in thistown. Iconics Iconics. One of the
(15:11):
things that I was passionate about wasmaking sure that this level of gym is
affordable to people in this neighborhood.And that goes across so many different areas.
We live in an area where ourfood is you know, it's a
little sketchy, it's a little janky, got a lot of grocery stores.
(15:33):
Now, food desert. It's afood desert. It's a wellness resource desert.
It's a gem desert, it's afitness studio desert. I mean,
you name it. You go tothe West Side, you don't have this
problem. You go to Orange County, you don't have this I was in
Orange County with my husband. Iwas like looking for a CBS. Right
now in our neighborhood, there's aCBS pharmacy where people pick up their medication
(15:56):
on every freaking corner. But Igo to Orange County, I'm just looking
for like some deodorant or something atthe seat. I'm seeing people jugging,
I'm seeing plotate studios, yoga studios. Can I find a CBS different mentality?
So there is a connection in healthand wealth. You go into wealthier
neighborhoods, You're going to see moreplates studios, You're going to see more
(16:21):
gyms, You're gonna see more accessto better food. It is what it
is. But see a need,fill a need instead of complaining about the
problem, be part of the solutionand that I didn't have permission to be
at the park. But I startedsmall and it grew and I'm thankful and
I feel very blessed to be ina position to continue to provide access in
(16:45):
my neighborhood to wellness resources. Friday, you have your free online workout.
How can people become part of that? You just have to go to my
website Claudinecooper dot com and ask forthe link. I will send it over.
Look at you trying to make everythingso easy. And what about Saturday
with your free community workouts outdoors?All you gotta do is pull up parkings
free ninety seventh in Prairie, wehave a nice garage, three levels.
(17:07):
You just pull in and come tothe court. What the parking is free,
the workout is free, the partyis free. Take out all the
excuses making it real hard for peopleto say no. I don't want them
to say no. I want themto say yes. I want to move
my body, Yes, I wantto meet my neighbors. Yes, I
want to demonstrate to my children thisactive lifestyle. Gone with your bad souf
(17:29):
Clauding Cooper. I'm gonna do it. See soon. I can't wait.
I'll be back next week. You'relistening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand
from KFI AM six forty. TacoBell has announced Get This a luxurious San
Diego retirement community experience. What thehell Taco Bell is setting up a pop
(17:52):
up quote unquote early retirement community downin the San Diego area, the Cantenas.
Cantenas will be a place where everyonecan live like a retiree. I
don't quite get the whole idea oftrying to conflate Taco Bell and retirement community,
and especially I don't get the ideaof Taco Bell and luxury. I've
(18:14):
got this figured out if you're interested. Oh yeah, yes, I'm very
curious, very curious. It isone hundred percent of soilent green situation.
If you have elder relatives moving tothis place, keep track of them at
all times. If they disappear,watch what you eat. Well, it's
gonna go down August seventeenth through eighteenth, and they're selling day passes for fifty
(18:36):
dollars and weekend memberships for one hundredand fifty dollars. And it kind of
reminds me. You know the movieDemolition Man, where everything is Taco Bell.
It's the one restaurant which has survivedthe restaurant wars. No, you
guys had to explain that to mebecause I'd never seen it. Yes,
yes, in the seashell. Yes. In in Demolition Man, one of
the sub stories is there was thisgreat plague which was after HIV and AIDS,
(19:00):
and there were the restaurant wars forall the restaurants. I guess we're
trying to destroy each other, andonly Taco Bell survived. So every restaurant
was Taco Bell. So it justmakes me wonder whether it's if it's predicting
the future where Taco Bell is tryingto take over every aspect of the restauranting
(19:22):
business. It's going to take placeon August seventeenth and eighteen. As I
said, day passes fifty dollars andweekend memberships one hundred and fifty dollars.
This is not new. It's newto me, but overall it's not new.
Taco Bell evidently held a similar promotionback in August of twenty nineteen,
which led to a four day TacoBell hotel and resort. Maybe it's just
(19:47):
me, but my personal history andconnection to Taco Bell says there's nothing luxurious
about Taco Bell. There's nothing highend about Taco Belle. There's a toilet
seats padded. Well, you're goingto need a toilet seat after Taco Bell.
That's the only thing that I canguarantee you. Taco Bell. Let's
talk about that they are going tobe letting fans retire early for a limited
(20:10):
time. So what does that mean. I don't know that they're going to
open up an early retirement community.So for Taco Bell, rewards members who
are twenty one or older. Okay, canteenas will be opened in San Diego
on August seventeenth and eighteenth. Memberscan reserve a day pass for fifty dollars
or a weekend membership for one hundredand fifty dollars. It's basically an experience
(20:30):
that will include aerobics, diverse art, whatever that is, porketball, we
know what that is. Passes willbe available on a first come, first
or basis on July sixteenth. I'mvery curious about this. Is this finn?
As much taco bell as you wantand then go play pickleball. I
guess that sounds like a dangerous,dangerous I would not incorporate that into a
(20:52):
dating situation. It wasn't that damnfunny. It was not that damn funny.
That sounds like a dangerousous I wouldnot incorporate that into a dating situation.
No, Oh my gosh, thatwould be she laughed at her own
joke. That's that's against the rules. You're not supposed to laugh at your
(21:15):
own joke, and you're not supposedto guffall, sniggle, chortle and all
those things at your own joke.I would not incorporate that into a dating
situation. Damn Taco Bell. There'sokay. I don't eat Taco Bell one
because it has more sodium than anyfast food out there. And I mean
(21:38):
that seriously sincerely. I know I'mnot going to get a Taco Bell endorsement.
Oh well, but Taco Bell isis it me? But I always
perceived Taco Bell as the bottom bottombottom of the barrel when it came to
fast food. Hey, I workedat Taco Bell. It's like one of
my first real jobs. And whatdid you do? Wait, and what
did you do when you're at Iforgot? Yeah, I forgot. I
(22:00):
forgot. I forgot. That iswhere the special originates. See Taco Bell.
But you forget. I think itwas maybe last last Christmas at Taco
Bell. They had that raunchy,sex field, alcohol driven holiday party.
True, that was in San Pedro. Taco Bell gets down. Yeah,
they know how to set it off. I'm just saying I can't see myself
(22:21):
spending fifty dollars for a day spaexperience at Taco Bell pickleball aerobics, and
I'm quite sure there's free Taco Bellthat'll be around the room. You're gonna
pay fifty dollars. I hope I'mnot paying for food as well. If
Taco Bell's charging fifty dollars, andthis is for young people, according to
(22:42):
this story, they need to havegone and have more of these raunchy sex
field alcohol parties for fifty dollars,well, that could do it. Well,
who does this really appeal to?A young person? Probably is not
gonna spend fifty dollars for a daypass of aerobics and other pickleball activities.
(23:03):
An older person maybe, But youknow who's gonna purchase one hundred and fifty
dollars a week in past to hangout with all things Taco Bell. Older
people can't do it, you wouldElmer? H Yeah, well Elmer,
you're young, but older people theycan't take that thought of you. Right.
Oh No, Taco Bell would fup my body in a heartbeat,
(23:25):
and I would be paying for thatmistake for days. I haven't had Taco
Bell in literally years now. I'mnot saying like in a long time,
no years. I'm not sure I'vehad Taco Bell this decade. I don't
think I have because I know itwould be a bad idea and I'm not
saying that to be funny, andI don't laugh at my own jokes that
(23:47):
are unfunny. I would not incorporatethat into a dating situation. No,
it wasn't that funny. It reallywas not that funny. You know.
It's a fart joke, that's allit is. I would not incorporate that
into a dating situation. No,oh my gosh. It would be like,
(24:07):
no, you'd break up after that. It wasn't that funny. It's
like, Okay, it's a guiltylaugh because she's done it. And yeah,
yeah, she's done it. Shejust let it fly. It's like
the audible version of back in theday on Facebook, and you would like
your own post. Yes, yes, that's exactly what it was. If
I laugh at the top of mylungs at my own joke, then maybe
(24:29):
someone else will find it funny.It didn't turn out that way. No,
oh my gosh. It would belike no you no, oh my
gosh, So what was that?No, oh my gosh, it would
be like, no, you'd breakup after that? First. All right,
(24:51):
along those lines, I just gota question. I got to ask
everyone, how long did it takebefore you are comfortable with your significant other
letting one go, either accidentally orintentionally within your ear shot, just earshot
engagement, well into the engagement,Tiffany Hobbs from the viral load. You
(25:18):
know, I would say about ayear into it where I just stopped why
I just stopped caring. But tobe honest, mine aren't offensive. If
he were here, he would vouch, I don't know about that. I
just did it right now And youdon't even know. Wa this is this
(25:41):
is a closed space. Mark yourturn. We have to go to the
news. You know, we don't, we know, we don't. I'm
doing that lout. Do you thinkwe just get in the middle of the
room and and mind like we're startingup a motorcycle and let one rip.
That doesn't happen. No, yes, you would also, I feel like
(26:03):
you're on the cusp of having thenerve to suggest that TV people are phony
and that's offensive. No, No, I would never, never, never.
Okay, good, Okay, Elmer, I'd say, like three four
months, wow, kids, now, wow, look something. I've been
(26:26):
married almost eight years to the day. I still don't do that willingly around
my wife when I go to sleep. There's certain things I can't control.
Okay, you know, nature takesits course. But just like I'm sitting
on the couch or something. No, I'll just go into the bathroom,
excuse myself. There was a timeI was actually working out on the treadmill
(26:49):
and it's late at night something.I would be by myself for a while.
I could work it all out.And she decides to come downstairs.
Y'all know how I house this up. So she decides to come downstairs and
get a late night. I said, WHOA, don't come down here.
Do not come down here. Shesaid, I don't care. I'm just
letting you know. Don't come downhere. She said, Look, we
(27:11):
were married. She comes down there, says, oh my gosh, what
did you eat? I said,I tried to tell you, don't come
down here. No, We're liveeverywhere on the iHeartRadio app. And did
(27:42):
you know, well, I guesseverything is like a throwback callback retro.
You look at clothing styles. Womenare wearing bell bottoms, hip huggers.
You see the bob haircutters coming backin style. Everything old is new again.
Even sexually transmitted diseases gonorrhea, it'smaking a comeback. And also classic
(28:07):
diseases like the bubonic plague. Theplague gonna get medieval on our asses.
The bubonic plague. A person inPueblo County, Colorado, and it's about
one hundred miles south of Denver,just in case you didn't know, has
been found to have been infected withbubonic plague. Bubonic plague, you may
(28:29):
remember historic pandemics across Europe and Asia, is caused by a bacteria is transmitted
by fleas and often carried by rodentsin the wild, including rats and prairie
dogs. Plague occurs when affected fleasby people or when humans touch skin of
an affected animal. And from whatI understand, it cannot be transmitted human
(28:55):
to human or it's more difficult totransmit it human to human. And I
had to even look it up asfar as the symptoms, as far as
what are the symptoms of bubonic plague, and the symptoms will develop after an
incubation period about anywhere between a dayand a week. According to the World
Health Organization, plague typically causes suddenfever and chills, severe headache, muscle
(29:19):
aches, nausea, and vomiting.Just like everything else out there. A
common symptom is swollen, painful lymphnodes called bubaus, which give the most
common form of the disease its name, bubonic plague. They manifest and the
body is as well as swelling inthe armpits, groin, and neck.
Bubeaus vary in size from less thanhalf an inch to about four inches,
(29:41):
and again, it does not spreadfrom person to person according to the CDC,
but the World Health Organization does estimatethat thirty to sixty percent of people
die of bubonic plague who are infected. And this is something else that I
didn't know, and I bet eventhe very intelligent Mark Ronner did not know.
(30:06):
Did you know that it's a twoparter? Did you know that one
there is a vaccine for bubonic plagueand it is not presently available in the
US. That's kind of a wash, then, is it right? Yes,
Like, we got a vaccine,but you guys can't have it,
and I'm not so sure I understandthe reason why. But it's not available
(30:30):
in the United States and maybe theyhad a major outbreak they'd give it to
us. It's like your mom tellsyou you can't have nice things. Yeah,
we can't, including the vaccine.But even if we did have it,
would people actually get it into today'sworld. They wouldn't even get the
vaccine for COVID. Are you kiddingme? But I'm saying, you know,
if we had a bubonic plague outbreak, and conceivably we could, because
(30:52):
if one person's infected, there areinfected animals running around out there, and
it could spread across at least acertain degree of area of the US.
I wonder how we would respond toan actual outbreak. First, we would
have to have the vaccine made availableto people in the United States, and
(31:15):
then would people actually take it inthis environment. I think we know now
that we can be counted on inthe United States to respond worse than anyone
to a serious health emergency like that, don't you. Oh, I'm positive
that we would do everything in ourpower to maximize the death rate and the
mortality rate of a disease. Andthe fact that we're fire hosed with disinformation
(31:40):
twenty four to seven wouldn't exactly savea lot of lives. Well, we
don't exactly put a high priority onhealthcare number one. We don't put a
high priority on education number two,And we don't put a high priority on
caring for our fellow American or evenjust fellow neighbor who may not even be
(32:00):
American. That's another discussion. Butyou know, when you put all those
things together, then yes, deathwill have its way. Yeah, I
mean, it wasn't an accident thatwe had the most COVID deaths of any
rich nation on Earth. No,it was not an accident. It was
a choice we made. And tothis day, people still tell me that
they think that COVID was a hoax, even though I know personally eleven people
(32:23):
personally who died from it. Ahoax in what way that is just to
flu is just some other form ofa virus that's really not deadly or was
not deadly. That's what I wastold I see, But the people that
I know who died from it,I'm quite sure they would disagree. And
(32:46):
it was the reason why they endedup in the hospital and died, for
lack of a better explanation, suffocating, unable to breathe. So that's why
I'm particularly sensitive to people trying totell me that it was just the flu,
or it was no big deal,or with some big government conspiracy to
(33:07):
control us and make sure that ourkids didn't go to school. Oh,
for God's sakes, come on,tall, am I lyne, No,
not, I wish you were lying. I wish we still weren't told things
like that. I was told thateven recently. Yeah, and I don't
respond because I think of actual peoplethat I went to school with who died
(33:30):
from COVID. I think of peoplethat I know personally who died from COVID.
Well, that plus the fact thatevery single credential, legitimate expert this
is not in question. No,we're talking about those elites out there.
They've seen a YouTube video. Whatis your look. I don't care about
(33:53):
how many epidemiologists or virologists or immunologiststhat you have out there. Of course
they have YouTube. Yes, yes, they've done their own research and that's
going to be their epitaph. Right. Fake news arose around the disinformation campaign
around COVID. That is where fakenews comes from. Fake news. It's
(34:15):
not real. It's not a realdisease, it's not a real virus.
It's fake news. Well what's notto love about politicizing science and getting people
killed in the process. And sowe will the next pandemic we have,
and we will have one now,whether it we'll be in the near future.
I don't know, but the nextone we have will be worse than
it needs to be because we've notbeen ingrained with the idea that all,
(34:39):
no matter what, our government islying to us and just wants to control
us. So I'm not going towear a mask, be damned everyone else.
Okay, you'll show them, Okay, I'm not even gonna argue it
anymore. I just know that myfriends did not die in vain or because
of some hoax, and I refuseto allow anyone to tell me otherwise.
(35:00):

You're listening to Later with Moe Kellyon demand from KFI AM six forty.
It's now Wellness Wednesday with Claudine Cooper. You can always find her at Claudinecooper
dot com. She is back.Claudine is good to see you. In
the interest of full disclosure, youkicked my ass on Saturday. Oh,
I was so happy to see youat the free community work. I'm what
(00:21):
a surprise. I had a freeSaturday because my dogeon, my martial arts
studio was closed for the weekend.I didn't have to teach classes, so
I said, let me go checkout what Claudine is doing. I was
the first person there. I gotthere early, stretched, warmed up,
and then they had another two hundredpeople or so show up. I don't
I'm destimating, but it was aroundtwo hundred people it was. We began
(00:42):
right at nine o'clock, maybe nineoh three. We went to about nine
point fifty three non stop. Youallowed us a moment to get some water
along the way, but we wereto keep moving the full time. There
are people of varying levels of athleticismand impact, you know, high impact,
lower impact, but it was agreat, great time. You work
the room as it were so well, and I appreciate being able to see
(01:06):
what you do firsthand. The communityloves you. Oh, I love the
community. They do more for methan I do for them. That's what
I say all the time, becausehonestly, I couldn't teach group fitness without
the group. Right. I sawchildren, I saw young adults, I
saw older adults. I presume grandparents. That the age demographic could have been
(01:29):
anywhere from age five up to seventyfive. Absolutely every week that's how we
do it. Anybody who wants tobring their family or feels limited because they
have kids or grandkids this weekend,just come. I saw someone who brought
like five kids with them, andyou told them it's like, look,
you got five kids, don't letthat be an excuse, just bring them.
(01:49):
And all five of her kids loveto do the workout, So that's
just amazing to see. It's afull body workout from the tips of your
fingertips all the way down to yourtoes. You know, my hips are
not happy with you with all thesquats that we were doing. But but
but it's good because you're going tofind out where your weak points may be.
(02:10):
You'll and and honestly, not everyoneis ready to jump right in.
You may have to build yourself up. Yeah, but I highly recommend it,
highly recommend. Thank you so much, Mo. And you know,
I will say, looking out inthe crowd and seeing you there, I
was just so excited, like,oh, moll Kelly made it. Yes,
I say, I'm gonna show up. I'm not one of those gonna
(02:30):
say I wanna show up and younever show up. No, I'm going
to actually show up. And Iwasn't gonna let you see me pass out.
Okay, you had it in thebag, there was no let me
tell you. I can tell thepeople who I have to give the options
to right because they are obviously limitedin their movement and their mobility. So
one of the reasons why I invitepeople of all levels is because I've been
(02:53):
doing this so long now. Inmy younger years, I used to be
like, no excuses, get downand give me twenty push ups. I
don't care if it's outside, inside, whatever. But as I got older,
I had a little bit more compassionfor various ailments injuries. And you
(03:14):
know why, because I have variousailments and injuries. I was not ready
for the squat jumping jacks. Okay, they were five for like the first
twenty or thirty. Oh no,we went for a four minute. So
that is the other thing. Andsince we're on the topic of working out,
and if anyone's listening and wants toimprove their cardiovascular endurance, instead of
(03:35):
counting your jumping jacks, right,so, oh, I'm gonna do twenty
jacks instead of that time your jacks, So go for one minute without stopping
and see how that improves your overallbreath lung health endurance. I also appreciated
the balancing exercises. It's one thingto be able to move, but also
(03:58):
there is an isomet trick benefit tobeing able to hold yourself up and balancing
your way with your arm extended andstretching your knee in the other direction.
I appreciate that, and I knewwhat you were going for, and that
helps you right where you are.You may not be able to keep up
with all the calisthenics, but youcan definitely do that, which is very
very helpful. Well, you know, years ago I took a Strength and
(04:21):
Stability certification course for people who areinterested in possibly being in fitness. You
do have to maintain your continuing educationcredits. That's a huge part of you
know, being able to meet peoplewhere they are in different areas. Right.
So I took a strength and stabilitycourse, and some of the things
I found were that as functional humanbeings, we have to be able to
(04:45):
stop ourselves from falling, right,especially as we get older, especially because
we lose balance. But there areways that we can improve balance. In
one of those ways we did atthe workout, and I can telp people
who are listening how to do iteasily at home. You just raise your
two arms above your head. Youstand on your two feet, and then
(05:06):
you lift one foot off the groundand you see how long can I stay
here without wobbling? Right? Thenyou put that foot down and you lift
the other foot. Typically, formost of us, myself included, one
side is more balanced than the other. One side is our dominant side.
(05:27):
One side is our non dominant.Yeah, you started getting jiggy with it
when you had put one arm aboveyour head and then you start leaning forward
like in the Superman position. Onething I will do is get jiggy with
it. But don't tell anybody Iuse the word jiggy though, Okay,
but it was a really good time. And something else which surprises surprised me
in a pleasant way. A lotof men out there, A lot of
(05:49):
men. Look at the end ofthe day, I have been training athletes,
professional athletes, former athletes, amateurathletes, child athletes for almost thirty
years, and so my spectrum ofpeople that I reach is diverse. But
that's why I used to be reallyhardcore on people, because as a person
(06:10):
who wants to get the best outof an athlete, you really do have
to dig into that mental strength,right, And that's how I ended up
building a very i would say balancedgender base, right, because there are
men and there are women, dads, grandfathers, everybody's out there. Do
you find that we are we asmen are better or worse? Students?
(06:34):
Ooh? As far as listening,ooh, following instructions, keeping up the
thing I've noticed for myself. Ican't speak for all men or all women,
but I've noticed for myself. Maybeit's because I'm the sister of all
brothers, but I push myself morewhen I'm in a male dominated exercise environment.
(06:56):
In other words, if I say, hey, you guys, let's
drop and get me twenty what Ifind is that women will be like,
mm, I'm not really gonna giveher twenty push ups, or I'm gonna
give her twenty pushups on the knees, or I'm gonna give her eight push
ups and then I'm gonna stay herein a plank or whatever. With men,
men are going to try to outdoyou. Like she said twenty raw,
(07:19):
I'm gonna try it to twenty five. And so for me, I
like to push myself like that aswell, And that is one of the
reasons why I consider myself an athletictrainer, because I like to push myself
and so when I'm in the companyof men, I find that I can,
you know, rise to the challengeas well. And not only that,
(07:39):
there's a good music soundtrack which isgoing you have a live DJ at
nine in the morning helping us sweatit out. It's not some pre record
or whatever. No, a liveDJ which is responsive to you and the
moment and the exercises that you're askingfor. Oh, it's a party,
mo, it's a party on Saturdaymorning, every saturad every Saturday. And
(08:01):
how much does it cost? Threeninety nine. I don't know if you
can do any better than that,and I felt wonderful the rest of the
day. You know, I showeredbefore my workout, get another shower.
There's nothing better than the after workoutshower. Oh, nothing better. And
then I was ready to go onwith the rest of my day. And
I wish I could do it schedulewise every single week because I would be
(08:22):
right there. Not only are youclose enough and it's affordable, but it's
beneficial. It was absolutely wonderful,and I put some other folds on there
if I could, But go toClaudinecooper dot com right now so you can
see pictures, maybe some videos ofthese free community workouts right off of ninety
seventh and Prairie. That's where becauseI always go there and like to go
(08:43):
to the movies and what have you. It is absolutely wonderful. When we
come back, I want to talkabout as an extension of that, we
talked about how men may react toyou, but specifically talking about women and
how financial health and physical health oddlyenough may go hand in hand. Can
we talk about that. That's adeep topic, but I'll think of something
(09:05):
to say. Yeah, all right, it's late with mo Kelly. I'm
joined in studio by Claudine Cooper onthis Wellness Wednesday. Can'tf I AM six
forty Life Everywhere on the iHeartRadio appyou're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on
demand from KFI AM six forty WellnessWednesday with Claudine Cooper Always check her out
at Claudinecooper dot com and Clauding.Before the break, I was saying,
(09:26):
I thought when I came across thisarticle that there might be a link or
some sort of correlation between women's financialhealth and physical health. And let me
say it like this quote women spendon average eight percent less time on their
healthcare each month than men, whichnegatively impacts their health outcomes close quote that
Synchrony Health and Wellness CEO Vetto Casseus, and it goes on that women,
(09:52):
especially single mothers, face various challengeswhen it comes to accessing and affording necessary
health and wellness care. They offrom prior prioritize their families' needs over their
own, primarily due to the sametime and financial constraints. And this is
a part of a new study wherethey examine the economic factors which impact women's
(10:13):
health. Where do you come outon that, Is there any connection for
what you've seen. This is sucha great topic and I feel like financial
health and physical health are intertwined,right. But as you were talking about
the free community workout, I didn'treally get to give the backstory behind it.
(10:33):
And the backstory is that someone reachedout to me on Facebook and said,
hey, I can't afford my gymmembership anymore. And it was a
woman and she just said, doyou know of any free workout classes?
And at the time, I didn't. And I think about this a lot
because it was something in me thatsaid, I know what it feels like
(10:54):
to not have enough money for XYZ. Come on, man, And at
that moment, well, there's somany layers to it. But I was
at church, and you know,I'm a woman of faith and adah,
and then they preached a word andI was like, oh my god,
I'm supposed to help this woman,right, So I say I respond to
the message. I say, well, you know, I don't know of
(11:16):
any free classes, but let's goahead and meet up on Saturday at the
park and let's just create a class. I'll call a few other people and
we'll just make our own little class. That what happened after that is can
only be explained by people who dobelieve, because I can't make it make
(11:41):
sense. I literally started with sixpeople and now I mean hundreds, hundreds.
But the other point, beyond thefaith component, is if not for
the access you provided, her physicalhealth would fallen by the wayside, presumably
(12:01):
without you offering a way, makinga way out of no way, as
they say, making a way outof no way. It could have or
she could have been running, orshe could have been walking, or she
could have been doing a myriad ofother things. But I think for a
lot of us, we do betterwith a group. Oh I know,
I do. It's hard for meto self motivate. There's some things I
(12:24):
can do, but I can't pushmyself at home. I need someone with
eyes on me, almost judging me, for me to push through. Well,
in this case, we had asmall group. It was only like
five or six of us, andso we were each other's accountability partners.
And then there were ten, andthen there were twenty, and before you
(12:46):
knew it, people were bringing theirkids and they, Oh, my mom
wants to come, Can she come? Yeah? Of course, whoever wants
to come come, Because we're literallyat a park, But mo, I
didn't ask anybody for permission. Ijust went to the park. So when
the workout began to grow at thepark, we started to kind of disturb
(13:07):
the neighborhood. Right, were loud, we've got music. I mean you
were there, yes, so that'sthe vibes. It's a party on the
weekend, and the people who livedaround the park were like, uh so
I didn't sign up for this eightam party, right? And although I
felt like I was providing some kindof service to people who may not be
(13:30):
able to afford exercise or group fitnessclasses, I still wanted to be conscientious
of the people who lived in theneighborhood and not disturb them as well.
But as an outsider looking in,I suspect that those individuals who you were
assisting quote and turned on your headphones. Yeah, if it were not for
(13:58):
you, than most likely the mostlikely the use of button right by your
knee, by your knee by yeah, technical issues, Yeah, here we
go. If it were not foryou, then most likely those women,
predominantly women, yeah, would nothave been consistently working out. So I
(14:24):
think that the financial component still isvery impactful. Well, access and equity
is not just in one professional industry. Access and equity should be all across
every industry, bar none. That'sjust my personal opinion, my personal position.
If there is an area where peoplecannot access what I consider to be
(14:50):
our birthright, which is movement andcommunity, then if I see a need,
I fell a need. I startedworking at a gym almost a year
go. The gym is in Inglewood, California. It is the first gym
of this caliber to be in thistown. Iconics Iconics. One of the
(15:11):
things that I was passionate about wasmaking sure that this level of gym is
affordable to people in this neighborhood.And that goes across so many different areas.
We live in an area where ourfood is you know, it's a
little sketchy, it's a little janky, got a lot of grocery stores.
(15:33):
Now, food desert. It's afood desert. It's a wellness resource desert.
It's a gem desert, it's afitness studio desert. I mean,
you name it. You go tothe West Side, you don't have this
problem. You go to Orange County, you don't have this I was in
Orange County with my husband. Iwas like looking for a CBS. Right
now in our neighborhood, there's aCBS pharmacy where people pick up their medication
(15:56):
on every freaking corner. But Igo to Orange County, I'm just looking
for like some deodorant or something atthe seat. I'm seeing people jugging,
I'm seeing plotate studios, yoga studios. Can I find a CBS different mentality?
So there is a connection in healthand wealth. You go into wealthier
neighborhoods, You're going to see moreplates studios, You're going to see more
(16:21):
gyms, You're gonna see more accessto better food. It is what it
is. But see a need,fill a need instead of complaining about the
problem, be part of the solutionand that I didn't have permission to be
at the park. But I startedsmall and it grew and I'm thankful and
I feel very blessed to be ina position to continue to provide access in
(16:45):
my neighborhood to wellness resources. Friday, you have your free online workout.
How can people become part of that? You just have to go to my
website Claudinecooper dot com and ask forthe link. I will send it over.
Look at you trying to make everythingso easy. And what about Saturday
with your free community workouts outdoors?All you gotta do is pull up parkings
free ninety seventh in Prairie, wehave a nice garage, three levels.
(17:07):
You just pull in and come tothe court. What the parking is free,
the workout is free, the partyis free. Take out all the
excuses making it real hard for peopleto say no. I don't want them
to say no. I want themto say yes. I want to move
my body, Yes, I wantto meet my neighbors. Yes, I
want to demonstrate to my children thisactive lifestyle. Gone with your bad souf
(17:29):
Clauding Cooper. I'm gonna do it. See soon. I can't wait.
I'll be back next week. You'relistening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand
from KFI AM six forty. TacoBell has announced Get This a luxurious San
Diego retirement community experience. What thehell Taco Bell is setting up a pop
(17:52):
up quote unquote early retirement community downin the San Diego area, the Cantenas.
Cantenas will be a place where everyonecan live like a retiree. I
don't quite get the whole idea oftrying to conflate Taco Bell and retirement community,
and especially I don't get the ideaof Taco Bell and luxury. I've
(18:14):
got this figured out if you're interested. Oh yeah, yes, I'm very
curious, very curious. It isone hundred percent of soilent green situation.
If you have elder relatives moving tothis place, keep track of them at
all times. If they disappear,watch what you eat. Well, it's
gonna go down August seventeenth through eighteenth, and they're selling day passes for fifty
(18:36):
dollars and weekend memberships for one hundredand fifty dollars. And it kind of
reminds me. You know the movieDemolition Man, where everything is Taco Bell.
It's the one restaurant which has survivedthe restaurant wars. No, you
guys had to explain that to mebecause I'd never seen it. Yes,
yes, in the seashell. Yes. In in Demolition Man, one of
the sub stories is there was thisgreat plague which was after HIV and AIDS,
(19:00):
and there were the restaurant wars forall the restaurants. I guess we're
trying to destroy each other, andonly Taco Bell survived. So every restaurant
was Taco Bell. So it justmakes me wonder whether it's if it's predicting
the future where Taco Bell is tryingto take over every aspect of the restauranting
(19:22):
business. It's going to take placeon August seventeenth and eighteen. As I
said, day passes fifty dollars andweekend memberships one hundred and fifty dollars.
This is not new. It's newto me, but overall it's not new.
Taco Bell evidently held a similar promotionback in August of twenty nineteen,
which led to a four day TacoBell hotel and resort. Maybe it's just
(19:47):
me, but my personal history andconnection to Taco Bell says there's nothing luxurious
about Taco Bell. There's nothing highend about Taco Belle. There's a toilet
seats padded. Well, you're goingto need a toilet seat after Taco Bell.
That's the only thing that I canguarantee you. Taco Bell. Let's
talk about that they are going tobe letting fans retire early for a limited
(20:10):
time. So what does that mean. I don't know that they're going to
open up an early retirement community.So for Taco Bell, rewards members who
are twenty one or older. Okay, canteenas will be opened in San Diego
on August seventeenth and eighteenth. Memberscan reserve a day pass for fifty dollars
or a weekend membership for one hundredand fifty dollars. It's basically an experience
(20:30):
that will include aerobics, diverse art, whatever that is, porketball, we
know what that is. Passes willbe available on a first come, first
or basis on July sixteenth. I'mvery curious about this. Is this finn?
As much taco bell as you wantand then go play pickleball. I
guess that sounds like a dangerous,dangerous I would not incorporate that into a
(20:52):
dating situation. It wasn't that damnfunny. It was not that damn funny.
That sounds like a dangerousous I wouldnot incorporate that into a dating situation.
No, Oh my gosh, thatwould be she laughed at her own
joke. That's that's against the rules. You're not supposed to laugh at your
(21:15):
own joke, and you're not supposedto guffall, sniggle, chortle and all
those things at your own joke.I would not incorporate that into a dating
situation. Damn Taco Bell. There'sokay. I don't eat Taco Bell one
because it has more sodium than anyfast food out there. And I mean
(21:38):
that seriously sincerely. I know I'mnot going to get a Taco Bell endorsement.
Oh well, but Taco Bell isis it me? But I always
perceived Taco Bell as the bottom bottombottom of the barrel when it came to
fast food. Hey, I workedat Taco Bell. It's like one of
my first real jobs. And whatdid you do? Wait, and what
did you do when you're at Iforgot? Yeah, I forgot. I
(22:00):
forgot. I forgot. That iswhere the special originates. See Taco Bell.
But you forget. I think itwas maybe last last Christmas at Taco
Bell. They had that raunchy,sex field, alcohol driven holiday party.
True, that was in San Pedro. Taco Bell gets down. Yeah,
they know how to set it off. I'm just saying I can't see myself
(22:21):
spending fifty dollars for a day spaexperience at Taco Bell pickleball aerobics, and
I'm quite sure there's free Taco Bellthat'll be around the room. You're gonna
pay fifty dollars. I hope I'mnot paying for food as well. If
Taco Bell's charging fifty dollars, andthis is for young people, according to
(22:42):
this story, they need to havegone and have more of these raunchy sex
field alcohol parties for fifty dollars,well, that could do it. Well,
who does this really appeal to?A young person? Probably is not
gonna spend fifty dollars for a daypass of aerobics and other pickleball activities.
(23:03):
An older person maybe, But youknow who's gonna purchase one hundred and fifty
dollars a week in past to hangout with all things Taco Bell. Older
people can't do it, you wouldElmer? H Yeah, well Elmer,
you're young, but older people theycan't take that thought of you. Right.
Oh No, Taco Bell would fup my body in a heartbeat,
(23:25):
and I would be paying for thatmistake for days. I haven't had Taco
Bell in literally years now. I'mnot saying like in a long time,
no years. I'm not sure I'vehad Taco Bell this decade. I don't
think I have because I know itwould be a bad idea and I'm not
saying that to be funny, andI don't laugh at my own jokes that
(23:47):
are unfunny. I would not incorporatethat into a dating situation. No,
it wasn't that funny. It reallywas not that funny. You know.
It's a fart joke, that's allit is. I would not incorporate that
into a dating situation. No,oh my gosh. It would be like,
(24:07):
no, you'd break up after that. It wasn't that funny. It's
like, Okay, it's a guiltylaugh because she's done it. And yeah,
yeah, she's done it. Shejust let it fly. It's like
the audible version of back in theday on Facebook, and you would like
your own post. Yes, yes, that's exactly what it was. If
I laugh at the top of mylungs at my own joke, then maybe
(24:29):
someone else will find it funny.It didn't turn out that way. No,
oh my gosh. It would belike no you no, oh my
gosh, So what was that?No, oh my gosh, it would
be like, no, you'd breakup after that? First. All right,
(24:51):
along those lines, I just gota question. I got to ask
everyone, how long did it takebefore you are comfortable with your significant other
letting one go, either accidentally orintentionally within your ear shot, just earshot
engagement, well into the engagement,Tiffany Hobbs from the viral load. You
(25:18):
know, I would say about ayear into it where I just stopped why
I just stopped caring. But tobe honest, mine aren't offensive. If
he were here, he would vouch, I don't know about that. I
just did it right now And youdon't even know. Wa this is this
(25:41):
is a closed space. Mark yourturn. We have to go to the
news. You know, we don't, we know, we don't. I'm
doing that lout. Do you thinkwe just get in the middle of the
room and and mind like we're startingup a motorcycle and let one rip.
That doesn't happen. No, yes, you would also, I feel like
(26:03):
you're on the cusp of having thenerve to suggest that TV people are phony
and that's offensive. No, No, I would never, never, never.
Okay, good, Okay, Elmer, I'd say, like three four
months, wow, kids, now, wow, look something. I've been
(26:26):
married almost eight years to the day. I still don't do that willingly around
my wife when I go to sleep. There's certain things I can't control.
Okay, you know, nature takesits course. But just like I'm sitting
on the couch or something. No, I'll just go into the bathroom,
excuse myself. There was a timeI was actually working out on the treadmill
(26:49):
and it's late at night something.I would be by myself for a while.
I could work it all out.And she decides to come downstairs.
Y'all know how I house this up. So she decides to come downstairs and
get a late night. I said, WHOA, don't come down here.
Do not come down here. Shesaid, I don't care. I'm just
letting you know. Don't come downhere. She said, Look, we
(27:11):
were married. She comes down there, says, oh my gosh, what
did you eat? I said,I tried to tell you, don't come
down here. No, We're liveeverywhere on the iHeartRadio app. And did
(27:42):
you know, well, I guesseverything is like a throwback callback retro.
You look at clothing styles. Womenare wearing bell bottoms, hip huggers.
You see the bob haircutters coming backin style. Everything old is new again.
Even sexually transmitted diseases gonorrhea, it'smaking a comeback. And also classic
(28:07):
diseases like the bubonic plague. Theplague gonna get medieval on our asses.
The bubonic plague. A person inPueblo County, Colorado, and it's about
one hundred miles south of Denver,just in case you didn't know, has
been found to have been infected withbubonic plague. Bubonic plague, you may
(28:29):
remember historic pandemics across Europe and Asia, is caused by a bacteria is transmitted
by fleas and often carried by rodentsin the wild, including rats and prairie
dogs. Plague occurs when affected fleasby people or when humans touch skin of
an affected animal. And from whatI understand, it cannot be transmitted human
(28:55):
to human or it's more difficult totransmit it human to human. And I
had to even look it up asfar as the symptoms, as far as
what are the symptoms of bubonic plague, and the symptoms will develop after an
incubation period about anywhere between a dayand a week. According to the World
Health Organization, plague typically causes suddenfever and chills, severe headache, muscle
(29:19):
aches, nausea, and vomiting.Just like everything else out there. A
common symptom is swollen, painful lymphnodes called bubaus, which give the most
common form of the disease its name, bubonic plague. They manifest and the
body is as well as swelling inthe armpits, groin, and neck.
Bubeaus vary in size from less thanhalf an inch to about four inches,
(29:41):
and again, it does not spreadfrom person to person according to the CDC,
but the World Health Organization does estimatethat thirty to sixty percent of people
die of bubonic plague who are infected. And this is something else that I
didn't know, and I bet eventhe very intelligent Mark Ronner did not know.
(30:06):
Did you know that it's a twoparter? Did you know that one
there is a vaccine for bubonic plagueand it is not presently available in the
US. That's kind of a wash, then, is it right? Yes,
Like, we got a vaccine,but you guys can't have it,
and I'm not so sure I understandthe reason why. But it's not available
(30:30):
in the United States and maybe theyhad a major outbreak they'd give it to
us. It's like your mom tellsyou you can't have nice things. Yeah,
we can't, including the vaccine.But even if we did have it,
would people actually get it into today'sworld. They wouldn't even get the
vaccine for COVID. Are you kiddingme? But I'm saying, you know,
if we had a bubonic plague outbreak, and conceivably we could, because
(30:52):
if one person's infected, there areinfected animals running around out there, and
it could spread across at least acertain degree of area of the US.
I wonder how we would respond toan actual outbreak. First, we would
have to have the vaccine made availableto people in the United States, and
(31:15):
then would people actually take it inthis environment. I think we know now
that we can be counted on inthe United States to respond worse than anyone
to a serious health emergency like that, don't you. Oh, I'm positive
that we would do everything in ourpower to maximize the death rate and the
mortality rate of a disease. Andthe fact that we're fire hosed with disinformation
(31:40):
twenty four to seven wouldn't exactly savea lot of lives. Well, we
don't exactly put a high priority onhealthcare number one. We don't put a
high priority on education number two,And we don't put a high priority on
caring for our fellow American or evenjust fellow neighbor who may not even be
(32:00):
American. That's another discussion. Butyou know, when you put all those
things together, then yes, deathwill have its way. Yeah, I
mean, it wasn't an accident thatwe had the most COVID deaths of any
rich nation on Earth. No,it was not an accident. It was
a choice we made. And tothis day, people still tell me that
they think that COVID was a hoax, even though I know personally eleven people
(32:23):
personally who died from it. Ahoax in what way that is just to
flu is just some other form ofa virus that's really not deadly or was
not deadly. That's what I wastold I see, But the people that
I know who died from it,I'm quite sure they would disagree. And
(32:46):
it was the reason why they endedup in the hospital and died, for
lack of a better explanation, suffocating, unable to breathe. So that's why
I'm particularly sensitive to people trying totell me that it was just the flu,
or it was no big deal,or with some big government conspiracy to
(33:07):
control us and make sure that ourkids didn't go to school. Oh,
for God's sakes, come on,tall, am I lyne, No,
not, I wish you were lying. I wish we still weren't told things
like that. I was told thateven recently. Yeah, and I don't
respond because I think of actual peoplethat I went to school with who died
(33:30):
from COVID. I think of peoplethat I know personally who died from COVID.
Well, that plus the fact thatevery single credential, legitimate expert this
is not in question. No,we're talking about those elites out there.
They've seen a YouTube video. Whatis your look. I don't care about
(33:53):
how many epidemiologists or virologists or immunologiststhat you have out there. Of course
they have YouTube. Yes, yes, they've done their own research and that's
going to be their epitaph. Right. Fake news arose around the disinformation campaign
around COVID. That is where fakenews comes from. Fake news. It's
(34:15):
not real. It's not a realdisease, it's not a real virus.
It's fake news. Well what's notto love about politicizing science and getting people
killed in the process. And sowe will the next pandemic we have,
and we will have one now,whether it we'll be in the near future.
I don't know, but the nextone we have will be worse than
it needs to be because we've notbeen ingrained with the idea that all,
(34:39):
no matter what, our government islying to us and just wants to control
us. So I'm not going towear a mask, be damned everyone else.
Okay, you'll show them, Okay, I'm not even gonna argue it
anymore. I just know that myfriends did not die in vain or because
of some hoax, and I refuseto allow anyone to tell me otherwise.
