Speaker 2 (00:27):
Got a huge show for you tonight. We're going to
go to San Francisco. We've been following all things way Mo,
and tonight it's going to be no different. I see
that parenting has really changed. Parenting has gotten kind of
loosey goosey, and we're gonna connect that to Waimo in
the next segment.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
They're doing things that would never happen when I was
growing up.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
We got to tell you about the cities with the
highest DUI rates in America, and let me just let
you know upfront, most of them are here in California
for whatever reasons, make any connections that you and also
San Bernardino businesses can get up to twenty thousand dollars
to improve their storefronts. Twenty thousand dollars. We'll tell you
(01:09):
about that. And did you know Burning Man is here
and they're like all sorts of orgies which are going
to be planned. I never got a chance to go
to burning Man double on Tendre. I guess burning Man.
Never mind, Steph is not paying attention. We're off to
a slow start. You get that one honestly, Yeah, I
(01:30):
didn't either. Could you explicate please? Okay see orgies burning man?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Oh like like afterward you got a little burn down

Speaker 3 (01:41):
Now I get it?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
And that was today in STD humor. Thank you very
much a lot. We've got a lot of nerve after
last night. What I said PTSD and you said STD,
I forgot about that amid the whole horoscope uh leo
inside capricorn ordeal that we went through.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Interesting that you should say that.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
I came into work today and when I saw twel
I said tweler, go ahead and put that horoscope segment
up as a featured segment. So just in case if
you missed it last night, there was radio history made.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Three juvenile dorks tittering their full heads off over horoscope
in the window.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
You speak for yourself. I was not juvenile, oh never, never,
of course not. But that was a classic segment, instant
Classicause you missed it, we're going I can't even tell
it to you.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
You just have to listen to it for yourself.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
You can find it on the podcast or in the
featured segment section at KFI AM six forty dot com. Yeah,
the horoscope for this week was something else.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Try not to mistake it for an NPR feature. No,
there was no news value. There was plenty of probative
value though no food.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Sh Yes, finally, finally.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
And Twalla Sharp, the countdown is on before he will
get on a ship this Friday. If you didn't know,
to Wallas Sharp is going on his first cruise ever,
something he said he would never do.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
But we've gotten passed. Never.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Yeah, surprisingly, I'm looking forward to I am. I downloaded
my boarding pass, I've got everything ready to go. I
got my luggage, tickets, I've talked to my son. We've
got a game plan when we're gonna head out get
into this traffic that yesterday. Mark reported the two best
(03:44):
times to go this Thursday and Friday.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
So Friday, I've listened to Mark. I know what time
we're hitting the road. We're good. You actually believe him
and I do just go overnight. There's not on the road.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Mark is a profit and and a visionary.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
What is going on? What's up here in the south Land?
He you forgot oracle? Did you say oracle? Oracle? Okay
of traffic? Thank you.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I could have made a really bad joke there. I'll
just let it go by, you were gonna say orifice.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Correct. I can read you like a book, and we're off.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
The reason I bring on Friday because also connected to Mark.
On Friday, he will be sitting in running the show
as he sees fit. He says that he's going to
be playing name that movie called Classic with all of you,
and so I would like to listen in just to
know the types of movies that he's pulling, the clips
that he's going to use, how he's going to interact
(04:46):
with everyone.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
I'm excited. I'm excited for him.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Fush, phosh, Mom and dad are going to be gone.
We can do whatever we want. Yeah, but we have cameras.
We'll be watching. Make sure you don't ruin the house.
Oh crap, okay. Mark is also going to be on Monday.
On Monday, he's got the horoscope. We're trying to see
if Jackie Ray will come in. Gods, see if Jackie
Ray will come in to do beyond the box score. Look,
Marc has got a plan. Oh yeah, let's get her in.
(05:10):
I don't follow sports, so if she told me that,
like there was a big upset in the quidditch tournament, I'd.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Probably believe that we don't talk sports talk. We go
beyond the box score. We're talking about where sports and
society meet. So it's not you know the box score,
So and so got twenty five points, ten rebounds in five.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Assists that I look Mark would like it.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
I think Mark, we like it because it's more in depth,
it's more insightful. And how like you said, sports and
society meet. Yes, Jonathan E scored an important symbolic victory
and rollerball tonight.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
It's exactly not that we would talk about the last
the impact of let's say, roller Derby and whether Skinny
Minni gwn mill or should be in the Hall of Fame,
or how roller Derby impacted Saturday morning television long term.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Oh I'm down with roller Derby.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Okay, that's what I'm saying. That's the type of conversation
we'd have, or you would have.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
It's up to you. It's your show. Careful what you offer.
Just don't put the car in a ditch. That's all
I asked. Don't burn the house down. Look, stranger things
have happened.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
It's later with Mo Kelly caf I Am six forty
live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. We're going to talk
about parenting and waimo and how the two should never meet.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty way.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Moo is something incredible to me, the whole idea of
driver list technology, autonomous vehicles, how they are taking over
many aspects of our life. It was just commerce. Now
what's coming in to be a general transportation. We're having
school buses replaced on some level by waimo.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Let me just back up for a second. When I
was a kid.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I know it was a long time ago, but this
is how much the world has changed from where I sit.
When I was a kid, of course, it was only
the bus to get around, and when I went out,
I had to check in with my parents every hour
or two. That means finding a landline, calling home, letting
my parents know exactly where I was. I mean, I
(07:14):
wasn't always truthful, but I still had to call. They
didn't have caller ID, so if I said I was
around the corner, that meant I was around the corner
for all they knew. But now kids, obviously, as you know,
they have smartphones and they have all sorts of technology
which is available to them, which makes life so very different.
(07:34):
I got a ride to school one because it was
too far from me to walk, and my parents taught there.
I don't think they would have ever put me in
any type of vehicle by myself. And now today you
have Weimo, which we've discussed many times. Parents in San
Francisco are sending their kids to school alone in Waimo vehicles.
(08:00):
But did you know way most policies prohibit children seventeen
years old and under from riding in the vehicles alone.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
So I don't understand you would think that way MO.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Since it has the technology to avoid road hazards, it
can stop it a light, it can turn a corner.
You would think the same car technology would let it
know when it had a minor in its car.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Doesn't it know who it's picking up?
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Clearly it doesn't because a lot I can't say a lot.
But a number of San Francisco parents are using this
to take their kids to school and even pick them
up from school.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
I've never had.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
School age children, I've had blended sons, who are, you know,
high school age and older. I don't know if I
would feel comfortable, And maybe it's a function of just
me not being comfortable with way Mo in general. I
don't know if I would be comfortable with putting my
kid in an autonomous vehicle, even though he or she
would have a smartphone, even though I'd be able to
(09:01):
contact him.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
And I get I.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Get at the convenience of it all. You're not driving
your child to school. I don't know how economical it is.
I don't know how much it would costs, but I
would rather put him in an Uber.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Honestly, could you do it? Twala? See did you do it?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
My thing is I'm way more larry of specifically putting
my daughter in an Uber by herself than I would
be putting her in a way Mo vehicle by herself
at fourteen. I would not trust my daughter to be
alone with an Uber driver. And I don't care if
(09:40):
the driver is male or female.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
I know, but what I'm saying, But in theory, in theory,
you would know who that Uber driver was.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
I don't know a damn thing about that Uber driver,
not about them, No, not point of reference, because me
knowing who they are, me seeing your face when she
gets in the car, that has nothing to do with
what happens after that car takes off just because I
know who it is. Do you think that that stops
some of these people who have attacked some of the
women in their vehicles just because you know who it is.
(10:07):
Because Uber does not have that system of checks and
balances that checks their actual background of some of the drivers,
they just don't. You don't know if these drivers are
predators or not. So I don't care if I see
your face, I don't care if I have your information
on record. That doesn't stop you from attacking my fourteen
year old. An autonomous vehicle is not.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
But an autonomous vehicle to me, doesn't provide more protection.
Doesn't stop someone from just opening up the door.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Now here's the thing you from my understanding, from how
Weymo operates period, you cannot while the vehicles in transit
and movie, you cannot just open the door from the outside.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
You cannot.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
The people on the inside can open up the door,
but you cannot come up to a Weymo and just
open up the door while it is in transit, if
it is in between rides. I believe that there is
that there were actually not there is, but there was
an individual who broke into a Weymo and tried to
take it on a ride or whatever. They have subsequently
fixed that flaw where you can't just go up to
waymoll just open up the door so that that's no,
(11:08):
so that right there is not a danger for me.
As soon as way Mo is rolled out here in Sokow, largely,
I promise you getting up every morning at six am
to try just to have to drop my daughter off.
If you do it that if I could get that
hour back, Oh yes, especially because it's now I'm picking
up her and her friend and taking them to school.
(11:30):
If I can say, you know what, I'm sending a
Waymo to get you all right now. And as Waymo
becomes more and more aware of this, they will probably
not probably in all likelihood update their programming and their
their requirements and all of that to make it available,
because there are programs already in place for parents to
choose vetted drivers to come and pick their children up.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Now, what I want Waymo to do, since this is
just a car for presumably one passenger, if they went
and took it to its logical conclusion, created a way
Mo bus, and you have a parking ride location where
you could have the kids show up at X location
and will take all the kids to school. That seems
like it would be a better absolutely, oh, absolutely absolutely,
(12:16):
if there was even a way Mo bus that picked
up several students within the area and took the right
just come straight up on your street a Waymo van where.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
You can say you know it, yes, these and you
can look as a parent, I can see which all
students are on the on the.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Van with my daughter. That's a no brainer, no brainer.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
But I don't understand why Waymo says, on one hand,
we don't want miners, or just say we don't allow
miners in our car, but they know good and damn
well they have miners in their car.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Well.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
I think the reason that they say that and they
try to put that, you know in the fine print,
is because they don't want us as parents to believe
that that their children could be like getting a way
more account on their own and just getting a ride
and going wherever they want.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
But you know, look, just because it says you, yeah, okay,
we know.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Look, we know everybody kids getting picked up from school
and going all over town right ditch parties all that
in a way Mo.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
Absolutely, I mean I can't tell you how many times
like I said, groups of fifteen to sixteen seventeen year
olds just then by themselves going from one friend's house
to another house, one party to another party.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
So I mean, yeah, and you are contributing to that.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
River.
Speaker 6 (13:34):
Do you see I'm not getting a message which is
not saying, hey, just let you know parent your child
has used your account. That's not the courtesy uber drivers
get foosh.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Look, I can see where the technology is going. It
doesn't mean that I am all the way comfortable with it.
I would be more comfortable if it were a bus
providing a service for a number of students. Maybe it's
just perception, but I get that there's I guess there's
safety in numbers. And if there are a bus taking
you know, five ten kids, then there's less likelihood. I
(14:10):
guess if a child being abductive. That's what I'm thinking of,
you know, when they're alone and there's nobody there.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Well, I'm thinking if the waymos are dropping the kids
off at school, like in the morning, when I dropped
my daughter and a friend off, it is in the
drop offline and there and there are someone outside in
front of the school because there are buses there and
a bunch of different parents. So the light if the wymo,
if me as a parent, orders the weymo and says, hey,
(14:38):
this is the location you're dropping them off in front
of the school.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
I'm okay.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
I would be less okay with a child being able
to manipulate the ride and say like.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Yeah, drop us off on the corner right right.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
And see that's the thing I don't know, because I
know as a rid you have some control over it,
because you're not just completely helpless as passenger, I assume, and.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
See, you know, a big picture though, So many schools here,
especially in the LAUSD, have open lunch campuses where kids
are able to walk off.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
And just get still. We're talking about it. Yeah, no, no,
they still haven't. She told me. He said, yeah, we
went to Pan Express something. You went to Panda What? Yeah,
me and a group of friends. Too much information, but lunch.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
We went to you know, I'm like, wait a minute,
and that's just what it is now in high schools
all over a socw So the idea of a way
mot taking them versus you know, them leaving campus on
their own.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
You know, hey, Mark, I do need the record to
reflect that once again, this story was given to me
by Tuala because of.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Yes, yeah, very suspicious.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Hearing you guys talk about this has convinced me to
find a twenty four hour of vasectomy clinic right after
I get off work tonight. I don't want to worry
about this stuff. Good Lord. If I had a kid,
I would have the kid chipped. I'd have the kid
wearing a shock collars so they can't get off campus
at lunch. Well, the phone is pretty much the Chay
body cam like cops have. I can't imagine what you
(16:09):
guys have to worry about. What a burden that is
to carry with you all day every day. Do you
worry about your kids more or less?
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Now?
Speaker 1 (16:17):
I worry about my daughter probably a little bit more.
And I'd say that only because he just went to
a high school football game last weekend after school and
just right around the corner this is in the news.
This was at Granadi Hills. One of the people, one
of the kids at the school. They went around the
corner to the rouse or whatever. I don't know what
(16:37):
they were doing. I didn't read the story, but I
know that that that young man was shot and my
daughter and her friend they passed by the group of
people that were on their way who were looking for whatever.
So I'm like, you know what. And it was after
that I was like, oh, never again. You would never
do anything at Granada Hills, but we won't even drive
by the damn school anymore. So yeah, I worry a
little bit more.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Mark.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Last time I saw his daughter, she'd come to the
office and she was wearing makeup and I had never
seen her in makeup before.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Oh, and when.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
I saw it, I instantly thought, oh, gosh, Tuala's probably
having a difficult time in life right about. Now.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Here's what you do, Tuala.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
So some of those apple tags under her flesh.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
It's Later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
When we come back, we'll tell you about those top
ten cities in America with the highest duy rates, and yes,
a lot of them are here in California.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
kfi AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Lam Lapam lapam, KFIM six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
It's Later with mo Kelly alive everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
And according to a study by financial website lending Tree,
Ana lives fifty of the largest US cities and came
back with the ten worst places for drunk driving, and
guess what, they're all in North Carolina and California. All
(18:11):
ten North Carolina, California. I don't know why, North Carolina,
I don't know, just going off the list. Okay, so
let's hurry up and get this bad news out of
the way. Coming in at number ten of the highest
DUI rates in America, MC hammer would be proud Oakland
(18:36):
or is it called it Oaktown? Number nine, Charlotte, North Carolina,
number eight of the top ten cities in America relative
to DUI rates.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Long Beach.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
That's kind of surprising to me because it's not like, yeah,
there's some spots down on the water, what have you,
Pine Avenue, but it's not like that big bar community
that I would see in other cities that I'd be
more expecting to see or you know, having issues with
drunk driving. But Long Beach number eight in America. Here's
(19:25):
number seven, San Diego. Now with gas lamp. Yeah, that's
a thriving bar community, but you usually can just kind
of walk around gas lamp. That don't make sense though, Yeah,
but gas lamp, oh yeah, oh yeah, there are a
lot of drunk folks down there. Coming in at number six, Fresno.
(19:53):
They're drinking just because there's nothing to do. Yeah, there's
nothing in Fresno, absolutely nothing except for maybe Keanna, who's
probably mad at me for saying that.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Coming in at number.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Five, Baker's Field or I like to call it Baker's
Bamas Bama.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Am I wrong? You're not wrong? Okay?
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Coming in at number four of the top ten duy
cities in America, San Jose usually makes its way onto
the list.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Remember San Jose is like one of the most expensive
cities in which to live in the country and now
has the most dus I guess that's.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
Kind of hand in hand. One of the best places
for women to get jobs.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Yeah right, all that, the highest salary per capita right,
Coming in at number three of the top ten cities
in America highest Uira, Los Angeles. See see we are
(21:09):
we are good at something.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
We're top three in the nation. Top three. We drink
and drive. Number two.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Sacramento, another city in which there's really nothing to do.
If you've ever been to Sacramento, I don't think of
it as having like some thriving bar community or anything
like that. But they're drinking and driving in Sacramento and
coming in at number one. The top city in America
(21:43):
with respect to its duy.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Rate Raleigh, North Carolina.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
At least California did not end up at the top
of the list, and this is duys per one thousand drivers.
Raleigh has one point four to six du per one
thousand drivers.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
This actually makes total sense because of the fact that
all of these cities, maybe with the exception of Long Beach,
well not even Long Beach. If you look at where
the hubs for drinking are in all these cities, they
are relatively far away from residential areas. So people are
(22:25):
driving into the downtown Long Beach scene to drink, driving
into downtown Los Angeles for the bars, and then they
have to go home. We have no metro system to
get people home, so once you drive someplace to drink,
you're driving home drunk. If only they had access to
some Tawala Sharp TM autonomous vehicle technology.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
I have access to Stephan and Uber. That true.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Yeah, yeah, but once you're drunk are Uber?
Speaker 3 (22:55):
No, No, it's really not that difficult. It's not.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
I mean, you can almost you can do it pretty
much drunk.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
I hear you, But you're asking a lot For someone
who's already drunk to be thinking rationally, you're really asking
a lot, and that is why they get into a
car and drive while under the influence. They're not thinking
what they're not thinking irrationally. Yes, they should get.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Into what a Waybow oh yes, no? Or an air taxi? Right,
it's better.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
How much did he get paid on this show tonight?
Because that's at least ten way Mo mentions.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
We need to be able to see his checking account
in real time, see the figures going.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
He's getting paid by the mention.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
It's almost like an on air endorsement, and by law
you're supposed to, like, you know, let people know.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
There's nothing add there's nothing happening here. We need to
display with numbers in the studios here so that we
can see when the numbers flip over to the next,
the next one.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Right, Tuala's made how many ref to way Mo on
air seventeen?
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Like they're not using the display from the Jerry Lewis
telethon anymore. We can get that. Let's turn around to
check the toe board. Yeah, exactly this later with Mo Kelly.
You earned that swallow, you know that, right?
Speaker 2 (24:21):
KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app
and when we come back, we're gonna go all the
way to San Bernissippi. Businesses out there can get twenty
thousand dollars to improve their store fronts.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
That's next you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on
demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Let's go out to San Bernardino.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Businesses in various yet prominent San Bernardino commercial corridors may
apply for grants up to twenty thousand dollars to improve
I guess you could call it their curb appeal under
the city's new Paintbrush program. The application window opened yesterday
on Monday, and with the funds, local business owners could
(25:05):
use it to improve awnings, sidewalks, exterior features, windows, signage, lighting, landscaping,
just about whatever. But the improvements must enhance or restore
the exterior physical condition or appearance of the business. You
can't use it for something inside. You can't use it
(25:27):
for if it's a restaurant, you can't use it for
a new refrigerator. You can't use it to redecorate the
lobby way. You can't do that. But if you use it,
it must be for something which is visible from the
public right of way, and this is what the city
has said. Businesses open before March twenty twenty are eligible
(25:51):
up to twenty thousand dollars, while businesses which opened after
March twenty twenty are eligible up to ten thousand dollars.
And these grants are available on a first come, first
serve basis. And if you're already champion at the bit
and you want to get in on this, you can
(26:12):
go to sbcity excuse me, sbcity San Bernardino City dot
org Forward Slash Paintbrush Program. That's sbcity dot org Forward
Slash Paintbrush Program. Or you can email e Condev at
sbcity dot org. That's e co O n d. E
(26:35):
v at sbcity dot org. And it got me thinking.
And we used to do a small Business Saturday show
on our program, The mo Kelly Show. Now it's been
taken over by Twallas Sharp with Soul Coal Saturday. He
goes above and beyond highlighting and honoring local businesses. And
(26:56):
I wonder how businesses managed to it these days. Yes,
I'm quite sure there's an online component, but to have
that brick and mortar location and having to worry about signage,
having to worry about curb appeal, making sure that there's
foot traffic. It's amazing to me how businesses manage to
(27:17):
do it in today's economic system, where ten years ago
it was much easier I would have to assume, but
now it just seems like unless you have that real
prominent online profile, it would be very difficult to get
people to walk into your business.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
But this is all a part of it.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
You have to have that curb appeal, You have to
be there in a way that people are going to
find you, people are going to notice you, and if
they're giving out twenty thousand dollars at a time, yes,
you should do everything you can to get it. The
city council has set aside a total of a million
dollars in federal COVID relief aid to fund the program,
(27:59):
So wondering like what are they doing with the leftover
COVID money, Here is a perfect example where it's not
just being sent back to the federal government, it's not
hopefully not being just misused by these local municipalities, but
it can be used for the purpose of helping businesses,
helping people in these communities. Even though for the most part,
(28:23):
we're not dealing with the same type or same level
of pandemic that we had three years ago. Now, if
you look at the news, we know that COVID numbers
are rising, but as far as the money that was
set aside specifically for dealing with that, we're at a
different point in time, and so that money needs to
be spent, and if I'm not mistaken, has to be
(28:43):
spent or otherwise these cities will lose it.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
So this is important.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
If you have a small business, or even if you
have a large business and you have a storefront in
San Bernardino, there is money available for you to i'll say,
freshen up your signage the exterior portion of your property.
But the businesses have to be located in specific corridors.
(29:10):
There's downtown San Bernardino, there's Mount Vernon Avenue between Highland
and Mill Street. There's E Street between thirtieth Street and
Mill Street. And of course all this information is found
at sbcity dot org forward slash Paintbrush program, but I
want to make sure you had it.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
There's Waterman Avenue.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Your business should be there between Highland and Mill, fortieth Street,
slash E Street between Little Mountain Drive and thirty first Street,
Highland Avenue between Macy Street and Mount Vernon Avenue, Highland
Avenue between Victoria Avenue and Boulger Avenue, Fifth Street between
(29:51):
Rancho Avenue and Victoria Avenue, Baseline Street between Meridian and
Mount Vernon Baseline between the two fifteen Freeway and Victoria Avenue,
and lastly Redlands Boulevard between Waterman Avenue and Gage Canal. Again,
that's this information is at sbcity dot org. Forward Slash
(30:14):
Paintbrush program and make sure you do everything you can
to get those funds for your business. It's later with
Moe Kelly k IF. I am six forty live everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
I don't know what you're thinking, and I kind of
like that.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Keep it fun k S. I'm m KOST HD two,
Los Angeles, Orange County Live everywhere on the radio.
Kf I Mo Kelly, we're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Got a huge show for you tonight. We're going to
go to San Francisco. We've been following all things way Mo,
and tonight it's going to be no different. I see
that parenting has really changed. Parenting has gotten kind of
loosey goosey, and we're gonna connect that to Waimo in
the next segment.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
They're doing things that would never happen when I was
growing up.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
We got to tell you about the cities with the
highest DUI rates in America, and let me just let
you know upfront, most of them are here in California
for whatever reasons, make any connections that you and also
San Bernardino businesses can get up to twenty thousand dollars
to improve their storefronts. Twenty thousand dollars. We'll tell you
(01:09):
about that. And did you know Burning Man is here
and they're like all sorts of orgies which are going
to be planned. I never got a chance to go
to burning Man double on Tendre. I guess burning Man.
Never mind, Steph is not paying attention. We're off to
a slow start. You get that one honestly, Yeah, I
(01:30):
didn't either. Could you explicate please? Okay see orgies burning man?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Oh like like afterward you got a little burn down
there is that?
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Now I get it?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
And that was today in STD humor. Thank you very
much a lot. We've got a lot of nerve after
last night. What I said PTSD and you said STD,
I forgot about that amid the whole horoscope uh leo
inside capricorn ordeal that we went through.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Interesting that you should say that.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
I came into work today and when I saw twel
I said tweler, go ahead and put that horoscope segment
up as a featured segment. So just in case if
you missed it last night, there was radio history made.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Three juvenile dorks tittering their full heads off over horoscope
in the window.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
You speak for yourself. I was not juvenile, oh never, never,
of course not. But that was a classic segment, instant
Classicause you missed it, we're going I can't even tell
it to you.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
You just have to listen to it for yourself.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
You can find it on the podcast or in the
featured segment section at KFI AM six forty dot com. Yeah,
the horoscope for this week was something else.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Try not to mistake it for an NPR feature. No,
there was no news value. There was plenty of probative
value though no food.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Sh Yes, finally, finally.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
And Twalla Sharp, the countdown is on before he will
get on a ship this Friday. If you didn't know,
to Wallas Sharp is going on his first cruise ever,
something he said he would never do.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
But we've gotten passed. Never.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Yeah, surprisingly, I'm looking forward to I am. I downloaded
my boarding pass, I've got everything ready to go. I
got my luggage, tickets, I've talked to my son. We've
got a game plan when we're gonna head out get
into this traffic that yesterday. Mark reported the two best
(03:44):
times to go this Thursday and Friday.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
So Friday, I've listened to Mark. I know what time
we're hitting the road. We're good. You actually believe him
and I do just go overnight. There's not on the road.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Mark is a profit and and a visionary.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
What is going on? What's up here in the south Land?
He you forgot oracle? Did you say oracle? Oracle? Okay
of traffic? Thank you.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I could have made a really bad joke there. I'll
just let it go by, you were gonna say orifice.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Correct. I can read you like a book, and we're off.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
The reason I bring on Friday because also connected to Mark.
On Friday, he will be sitting in running the show
as he sees fit. He says that he's going to
be playing name that movie called Classic with all of you,
and so I would like to listen in just to
know the types of movies that he's pulling, the clips
that he's going to use, how he's going to interact
(04:46):
with everyone.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
I'm excited. I'm excited for him.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Fush, phosh, Mom and dad are going to be gone.
We can do whatever we want. Yeah, but we have cameras.
We'll be watching. Make sure you don't ruin the house.
Oh crap, okay. Mark is also going to be on Monday.
On Monday, he's got the horoscope. We're trying to see
if Jackie Ray will come in. Gods, see if Jackie
Ray will come in to do beyond the box score. Look,
Marc has got a plan. Oh yeah, let's get her in.
(05:10):
I don't follow sports, so if she told me that,
like there was a big upset in the quidditch tournament, I'd.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Probably believe that we don't talk sports talk. We go
beyond the box score. We're talking about where sports and
society meet. So it's not you know the box score,
So and so got twenty five points, ten rebounds in five.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Assists that I look Mark would like it.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
I think Mark, we like it because it's more in depth,
it's more insightful. And how like you said, sports and
society meet. Yes, Jonathan E scored an important symbolic victory
and rollerball tonight.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
It's exactly not that we would talk about the last
the impact of let's say, roller Derby and whether Skinny
Minni gwn mill or should be in the Hall of Fame,
or how roller Derby impacted Saturday morning television long term.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Oh I'm down with roller Derby.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Okay, that's what I'm saying. That's the type of conversation
we'd have, or you would have.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
It's up to you. It's your show. Careful what you offer.
Just don't put the car in a ditch. That's all
I asked. Don't burn the house down. Look, stranger things
have happened.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
It's later with Mo Kelly caf I Am six forty
live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. We're going to talk
about parenting and waimo and how the two should never meet.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty way.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Moo is something incredible to me, the whole idea of
driver list technology, autonomous vehicles, how they are taking over
many aspects of our life. It was just commerce. Now
what's coming in to be a general transportation. We're having
school buses replaced on some level by waimo.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Let me just back up for a second. When I
was a kid.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I know it was a long time ago, but this
is how much the world has changed from where I sit.
When I was a kid, of course, it was only
the bus to get around, and when I went out,
I had to check in with my parents every hour
or two. That means finding a landline, calling home, letting
my parents know exactly where I was. I mean, I
(07:14):
wasn't always truthful, but I still had to call. They
didn't have caller ID, so if I said I was
around the corner, that meant I was around the corner
for all they knew. But now kids, obviously, as you know,
they have smartphones and they have all sorts of technology
which is available to them, which makes life so very different.
(07:34):
I got a ride to school one because it was
too far from me to walk, and my parents taught there.
I don't think they would have ever put me in
any type of vehicle by myself. And now today you
have Weimo, which we've discussed many times. Parents in San
Francisco are sending their kids to school alone in Waimo vehicles.
(08:00):
But did you know way most policies prohibit children seventeen
years old and under from riding in the vehicles alone.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
So I don't understand you would think that way MO.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Since it has the technology to avoid road hazards, it
can stop it a light, it can turn a corner.
You would think the same car technology would let it
know when it had a minor in its car.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Doesn't it know who it's picking up?
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Clearly it doesn't because a lot I can't say a lot.
But a number of San Francisco parents are using this
to take their kids to school and even pick them
up from school.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
I've never had.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
School age children, I've had blended sons, who are, you know,
high school age and older. I don't know if I
would feel comfortable, And maybe it's a function of just
me not being comfortable with way Mo in general. I
don't know if I would be comfortable with putting my
kid in an autonomous vehicle, even though he or she
would have a smartphone, even though I'd be able to
(09:01):
contact him.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
And I get I.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Get at the convenience of it all. You're not driving
your child to school. I don't know how economical it is.
I don't know how much it would costs, but I
would rather put him in an Uber.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Honestly, could you do it? Twala? See did you do it?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
My thing is I'm way more larry of specifically putting
my daughter in an Uber by herself than I would
be putting her in a way Mo vehicle by herself
at fourteen. I would not trust my daughter to be
alone with an Uber driver. And I don't care if
(09:40):
the driver is male or female.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
I know, but what I'm saying, But in theory, in theory,
you would know who that Uber driver was.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
I don't know a damn thing about that Uber driver,
not about them, No, not point of reference, because me
knowing who they are, me seeing your face when she
gets in the car, that has nothing to do with
what happens after that car takes off just because I
know who it is. Do you think that that stops
some of these people who have attacked some of the
women in their vehicles just because you know who it is.
(10:07):
Because Uber does not have that system of checks and
balances that checks their actual background of some of the drivers,
they just don't. You don't know if these drivers are
predators or not. So I don't care if I see
your face, I don't care if I have your information
on record. That doesn't stop you from attacking my fourteen
year old. An autonomous vehicle is not.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
But an autonomous vehicle to me, doesn't provide more protection.
Doesn't stop someone from just opening up the door.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Now here's the thing you from my understanding, from how
Weymo operates period, you cannot while the vehicles in transit
and movie, you cannot just open the door from the outside.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
You cannot.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
The people on the inside can open up the door,
but you cannot come up to a Weymo and just
open up the door while it is in transit, if
it is in between rides. I believe that there is
that there were actually not there is, but there was
an individual who broke into a Weymo and tried to
take it on a ride or whatever. They have subsequently
fixed that flaw where you can't just go up to
waymoll just open up the door so that that's no,
(11:08):
so that right there is not a danger for me.
As soon as way Mo is rolled out here in Sokow, largely,
I promise you getting up every morning at six am
to try just to have to drop my daughter off.
If you do it that if I could get that
hour back, Oh yes, especially because it's now I'm picking
up her and her friend and taking them to school.
(11:30):
If I can say, you know what, I'm sending a
Waymo to get you all right now. And as Waymo
becomes more and more aware of this, they will probably
not probably in all likelihood update their programming and their
their requirements and all of that to make it available,
because there are programs already in place for parents to
choose vetted drivers to come and pick their children up.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Now, what I want Waymo to do, since this is
just a car for presumably one passenger, if they went
and took it to its logical conclusion, created a way
Mo bus, and you have a parking ride location where
you could have the kids show up at X location
and will take all the kids to school. That seems
like it would be a better absolutely, oh, absolutely absolutely,
(12:16):
if there was even a way Mo bus that picked
up several students within the area and took the right
just come straight up on your street a Waymo van where.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
You can say you know it, yes, these and you
can look as a parent, I can see which all
students are on the on the.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Van with my daughter. That's a no brainer, no brainer.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
But I don't understand why Waymo says, on one hand,
we don't want miners, or just say we don't allow
miners in our car, but they know good and damn
well they have miners in their car.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Well.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
I think the reason that they say that and they
try to put that, you know in the fine print,
is because they don't want us as parents to believe
that that their children could be like getting a way
more account on their own and just getting a ride
and going wherever they want.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
But you know, look, just because it says you, yeah, okay,
we know.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Look, we know everybody kids getting picked up from school
and going all over town right ditch parties all that
in a way Mo.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
Absolutely, I mean I can't tell you how many times
like I said, groups of fifteen to sixteen seventeen year
olds just then by themselves going from one friend's house
to another house, one party to another party.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
So I mean, yeah, and you are contributing to that.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
River.
Speaker 6 (13:34):
Do you see I'm not getting a message which is
not saying, hey, just let you know parent your child
has used your account. That's not the courtesy uber drivers
get foosh.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Look, I can see where the technology is going. It
doesn't mean that I am all the way comfortable with it.
I would be more comfortable if it were a bus
providing a service for a number of students. Maybe it's
just perception, but I get that there's I guess there's
safety in numbers. And if there are a bus taking
you know, five ten kids, then there's less likelihood. I
(14:10):
guess if a child being abductive. That's what I'm thinking of,
you know, when they're alone and there's nobody there.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Well, I'm thinking if the waymos are dropping the kids
off at school, like in the morning, when I dropped
my daughter and a friend off, it is in the
drop offline and there and there are someone outside in
front of the school because there are buses there and
a bunch of different parents. So the light if the wymo,
if me as a parent, orders the weymo and says, hey,
(14:38):
this is the location you're dropping them off in front
of the school.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
I'm okay.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
I would be less okay with a child being able
to manipulate the ride and say like.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Yeah, drop us off on the corner right right.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
And see that's the thing I don't know, because I
know as a rid you have some control over it,
because you're not just completely helpless as passenger, I assume, and.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
See, you know, a big picture though, So many schools here,
especially in the LAUSD, have open lunch campuses where kids
are able to walk off.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
And just get still. We're talking about it. Yeah, no, no,
they still haven't. She told me. He said, yeah, we
went to Pan Express something. You went to Panda What? Yeah,
me and a group of friends. Too much information, but lunch.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
We went to you know, I'm like, wait a minute,
and that's just what it is now in high schools
all over a socw So the idea of a way
mot taking them versus you know, them leaving campus on
their own.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
You know, hey, Mark, I do need the record to
reflect that once again, this story was given to me
by Tuala because of.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Yes, yeah, very suspicious.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Hearing you guys talk about this has convinced me to
find a twenty four hour of vasectomy clinic right after
I get off work tonight. I don't want to worry
about this stuff. Good Lord. If I had a kid,
I would have the kid chipped. I'd have the kid
wearing a shock collars so they can't get off campus
at lunch. Well, the phone is pretty much the Chay
body cam like cops have. I can't imagine what you
(16:09):
guys have to worry about. What a burden that is
to carry with you all day every day. Do you
worry about your kids more or less?
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Now?
Speaker 1 (16:17):
I worry about my daughter probably a little bit more.
And I'd say that only because he just went to
a high school football game last weekend after school and
just right around the corner this is in the news.
This was at Granadi Hills. One of the people, one
of the kids at the school. They went around the
corner to the rouse or whatever. I don't know what
(16:37):
they were doing. I didn't read the story, but I
know that that that young man was shot and my
daughter and her friend they passed by the group of
people that were on their way who were looking for whatever.
So I'm like, you know what. And it was after
that I was like, oh, never again. You would never
do anything at Granada Hills, but we won't even drive
by the damn school anymore. So yeah, I worry a
little bit more.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Mark.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Last time I saw his daughter, she'd come to the
office and she was wearing makeup and I had never
seen her in makeup before.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Oh, and when.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
I saw it, I instantly thought, oh, gosh, Tuala's probably
having a difficult time in life right about. Now.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Here's what you do, Tuala.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
So some of those apple tags under her flesh.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
It's Later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
When we come back, we'll tell you about those top
ten cities in America with the highest duy rates, and yes,
a lot of them are here in California.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
kfi AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Lam Lapam lapam, KFIM six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
It's Later with mo Kelly alive everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
And according to a study by financial website lending Tree,
Ana lives fifty of the largest US cities and came
back with the ten worst places for drunk driving, and
guess what, they're all in North Carolina and California. All
(18:11):
ten North Carolina, California. I don't know why, North Carolina,
I don't know, just going off the list. Okay, so
let's hurry up and get this bad news out of
the way. Coming in at number ten of the highest
DUI rates in America, MC hammer would be proud Oakland
(18:36):
or is it called it Oaktown? Number nine, Charlotte, North Carolina,
number eight of the top ten cities in America relative
to DUI rates.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Long Beach.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
That's kind of surprising to me because it's not like, yeah,
there's some spots down on the water, what have you,
Pine Avenue, but it's not like that big bar community
that I would see in other cities that I'd be
more expecting to see or you know, having issues with
drunk driving. But Long Beach number eight in America. Here's
(19:25):
number seven, San Diego. Now with gas lamp. Yeah, that's
a thriving bar community, but you usually can just kind
of walk around gas lamp. That don't make sense though, Yeah,
but gas lamp, oh yeah, oh yeah, there are a
lot of drunk folks down there. Coming in at number six, Fresno.
(19:53):
They're drinking just because there's nothing to do. Yeah, there's
nothing in Fresno, absolutely nothing except for maybe Keanna, who's
probably mad at me for saying that.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Coming in at number.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Five, Baker's Field or I like to call it Baker's
Bamas Bama.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Am I wrong? You're not wrong? Okay?
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Coming in at number four of the top ten duy
cities in America, San Jose usually makes its way onto
the list.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Remember San Jose is like one of the most expensive
cities in which to live in the country and now
has the most dus I guess that's.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
Kind of hand in hand. One of the best places
for women to get jobs.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Yeah right, all that, the highest salary per capita right,
Coming in at number three of the top ten cities
in America highest Uira, Los Angeles. See see we are
(21:09):
we are good at something.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
We're top three in the nation. Top three. We drink
and drive. Number two.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Sacramento, another city in which there's really nothing to do.
If you've ever been to Sacramento, I don't think of
it as having like some thriving bar community or anything
like that. But they're drinking and driving in Sacramento and
coming in at number one. The top city in America
(21:43):
with respect to its duy.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Rate Raleigh, North Carolina.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
At least California did not end up at the top
of the list, and this is duys per one thousand drivers.
Raleigh has one point four to six du per one
thousand drivers.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
This actually makes total sense because of the fact that
all of these cities, maybe with the exception of Long Beach,
well not even Long Beach. If you look at where
the hubs for drinking are in all these cities, they
are relatively far away from residential areas. So people are
(22:25):
driving into the downtown Long Beach scene to drink, driving
into downtown Los Angeles for the bars, and then they
have to go home. We have no metro system to
get people home, so once you drive someplace to drink,
you're driving home drunk. If only they had access to
some Tawala Sharp TM autonomous vehicle technology.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
I have access to Stephan and Uber. That true.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Yeah, yeah, but once you're drunk are Uber?
Speaker 3 (22:55):
No, No, it's really not that difficult. It's not.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
I mean, you can almost you can do it pretty
much drunk.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
I hear you, But you're asking a lot For someone
who's already drunk to be thinking rationally, you're really asking
a lot, and that is why they get into a
car and drive while under the influence. They're not thinking
what they're not thinking irrationally. Yes, they should get.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Into what a Waybow oh yes, no? Or an air taxi? Right,
it's better.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
How much did he get paid on this show tonight?
Because that's at least ten way Mo mentions.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
We need to be able to see his checking account
in real time, see the figures going.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
He's getting paid by the mention.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
It's almost like an on air endorsement, and by law
you're supposed to, like, you know, let people know.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
There's nothing add there's nothing happening here. We need to
display with numbers in the studios here so that we
can see when the numbers flip over to the next,
the next one.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Right, Tuala's made how many ref to way Mo on
air seventeen?
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Like they're not using the display from the Jerry Lewis
telethon anymore. We can get that. Let's turn around to
check the toe board. Yeah, exactly this later with Mo Kelly.
You earned that swallow, you know that, right?
Speaker 2 (24:21):
KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app
and when we come back, we're gonna go all the
way to San Bernissippi. Businesses out there can get twenty
thousand dollars to improve their store fronts.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
That's next you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on
demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Let's go out to San Bernardino.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Businesses in various yet prominent San Bernardino commercial corridors may
apply for grants up to twenty thousand dollars to improve
I guess you could call it their curb appeal under
the city's new Paintbrush program. The application window opened yesterday
on Monday, and with the funds, local business owners could
(25:05):
use it to improve awnings, sidewalks, exterior features, windows, signage, lighting, landscaping,
just about whatever. But the improvements must enhance or restore
the exterior physical condition or appearance of the business. You
can't use it for something inside. You can't use it
(25:27):
for if it's a restaurant, you can't use it for
a new refrigerator. You can't use it to redecorate the
lobby way. You can't do that. But if you use it,
it must be for something which is visible from the
public right of way, and this is what the city
has said. Businesses open before March twenty twenty are eligible
(25:51):
up to twenty thousand dollars, while businesses which opened after
March twenty twenty are eligible up to ten thousand dollars.
And these grants are available on a first come, first
serve basis. And if you're already champion at the bit
and you want to get in on this, you can
(26:12):
go to sbcity excuse me, sbcity San Bernardino City dot
org Forward Slash Paintbrush Program. That's sbcity dot org Forward
Slash Paintbrush Program. Or you can email e Condev at
sbcity dot org. That's e co O n d. E
(26:35):
v at sbcity dot org. And it got me thinking.
And we used to do a small Business Saturday show
on our program, The mo Kelly Show. Now it's been
taken over by Twallas Sharp with Soul Coal Saturday. He
goes above and beyond highlighting and honoring local businesses. And
(26:56):
I wonder how businesses managed to it these days. Yes,
I'm quite sure there's an online component, but to have
that brick and mortar location and having to worry about signage,
having to worry about curb appeal, making sure that there's
foot traffic. It's amazing to me how businesses manage to
(27:17):
do it in today's economic system, where ten years ago
it was much easier I would have to assume, but
now it just seems like unless you have that real
prominent online profile, it would be very difficult to get
people to walk into your business.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
But this is all a part of it.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
You have to have that curb appeal, You have to
be there in a way that people are going to
find you, people are going to notice you, and if
they're giving out twenty thousand dollars at a time, yes,
you should do everything you can to get it. The
city council has set aside a total of a million
dollars in federal COVID relief aid to fund the program,
(27:59):
So wondering like what are they doing with the leftover
COVID money, Here is a perfect example where it's not
just being sent back to the federal government, it's not
hopefully not being just misused by these local municipalities, but
it can be used for the purpose of helping businesses,
helping people in these communities. Even though for the most part,
(28:23):
we're not dealing with the same type or same level
of pandemic that we had three years ago. Now, if
you look at the news, we know that COVID numbers
are rising, but as far as the money that was
set aside specifically for dealing with that, we're at a
different point in time, and so that money needs to
be spent, and if I'm not mistaken, has to be
(28:43):
spent or otherwise these cities will lose it.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
So this is important.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
If you have a small business, or even if you
have a large business and you have a storefront in
San Bernardino, there is money available for you to i'll say,
freshen up your signage the exterior portion of your property.
But the businesses have to be located in specific corridors.
(29:10):
There's downtown San Bernardino, there's Mount Vernon Avenue between Highland
and Mill Street. There's E Street between thirtieth Street and
Mill Street. And of course all this information is found
at sbcity dot org forward slash Paintbrush program, but I
want to make sure you had it.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
There's Waterman Avenue.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Your business should be there between Highland and Mill, fortieth Street,
slash E Street between Little Mountain Drive and thirty first Street,
Highland Avenue between Macy Street and Mount Vernon Avenue, Highland
Avenue between Victoria Avenue and Boulger Avenue, Fifth Street between
(29:51):
Rancho Avenue and Victoria Avenue, Baseline Street between Meridian and
Mount Vernon Baseline between the two fifteen Freeway and Victoria Avenue,
and lastly Redlands Boulevard between Waterman Avenue and Gage Canal. Again,
that's this information is at sbcity dot org. Forward Slash
(30:14):
Paintbrush program and make sure you do everything you can
to get those funds for your business. It's later with
Moe Kelly k IF. I am six forty live everywhere
