Speaker 1 (00:22):
Kfi O, Kelly, I'm back and we're live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app. Yes, I am back on Tara Faerma
Solid Ground dry Land. As we kick off, I guess
the end of summer kind of sta Yeah, we're getting there.
Labor Day weekend is now over. And let me say,
(00:42):
before I go any further, how wonderful a job that
Mark Runner and Tiffany Hobbs did in my absence.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Thank you very much, very nice of me to say,
we both had a ball and we appreciate you letting
us doing it and trusting us.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Thank you all sincere, all genuine.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
When I was on the ship Royal Caribbean on my
way to Ensenada, Mexico, I did have the opportunity to
catch some of the show Friday evening when.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
You could have been having fun instead. No, no, no, I
had it.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
No.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
I was seven drinks in, so that made it even
more entertaining.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Oh yeah, the alcohol increases the enjoyment of the show
by an order of magnitude.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Being able to listen to name that movie called Classic
with you steering the ship as it were, was really
really enjoyable for me to just sit back and listen
to the show and take in the game from a
listener perspective. And also I had no idea what movies
you had selected, so I was playing just like anyone
(01:49):
else and being able to hear some of the movies
that you had chosen.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
I got maybe, I want to say, five of the seven.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
I was wondering if I made it too easy because
I didn't want to go too deep, and so I
kept it to essentially horror classics that were pretty well
known hits, and everybody got the answers really fast.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Well, all I can say is, look, you are a
radio professional through and through, so it wasn't like I
expected anything differently, but I am I am pleasantly surprised
at how seamlessly and smoothly you ran the show. I mean,
because I know what you're doing from behind the scenes.
(02:30):
I know all the different levers that you're pulling and
the buttons that you're pushing.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
It's not easy at all. I really appreciate that. It
means the world to me to hear you say that.
Thank you very much, And Monday was no different. It
was just a very enjoyable show to listen to.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
And I think anyone who knows me anyone who knows
to all of this is one of my favorite sayings,
and I meet it each and every time that I
say it, that your success is our success, and I
know that you were damn successful well.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Over the weekend, I said, I learned at the feet
of the mastery and we had a terrific guess both nights.
Bert Ward on Friday from Batman Yes, and Alison Martino
from Vintage La Monday night. Couldn't have asked for better guests.
There were tons of fun. I can say this, and
I think you'll understand this. There's something intoxicating about the microphone.
Is There's something really enjoyable about the microphone. There is,
(03:24):
But I mean I went straight home and got the
usual bums rush from everybody. It's not like my life
changed in any significant way. You get brought back down
to earth pretty quick, believe me. Oh absolutely. My wife
doesn't even listen to me exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah, So
I asked her, like, did you hear the show tonight?
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (03:42):
No, I was watching Real Housewives. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
We had this ongoing debate at home whether whether or
not the long Suffering One has ever even read any
of the books I've written, and she insists she has,
but I'm not glying. I mean, if you get to
the point where you got to quiz each other about that,
then why you and bother?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Well, I gotta say this. I enjoyed being away.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
I enjoy being away and leaving the show in very
capable hands. And I don't know if you know this, Mark,
You're not from California, but California has had this long
protracted battle with banning plastic bags, especially in grocery stores.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Well, we have news on that front. You know.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I thought I was going to talk about La Metro today,
but they didn't have an issue today, but they had
one yesterday and Mark Ronner hit it out of the
park covering that.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Well, it's still early. There could be one before the
end of the show. There might be one happening right now.
Someone could be stabbed right now.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
You know that's the knife going in right there. Yeah,
we've got nearly three hours. It's almost a certainty.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Look, Gilligan got lost in less time, so you know,
you never know, you just never know. We have a
Tesla update, actually to Tesla updates. There's so much great
stuff to talk about tonight. But when we come back.
We're going to tell you about the most catfished states
in country, and of course somewhere California is in the mix.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
And if you don't know, catfish is basically fooling someone online.
Presenting yourself is one thing when you're actually something or
someone else, and that includes romance scams, that includes fbis things,
and it includes all those things you put forward this
persona online because you're trying to dupe the person who
(05:32):
you are in conversation with now. In order to find
the most catfished states in the country, researchers at IMMACIL
used Google keyword Planner, reporting from the FBI, as well
as data from other sources to rank states by the
number of victims per one hundred thousand residents, the number
(05:53):
of romance scams reported annually, the total amount of money
loss due to the scams, and the number of catfishing
related searches such as quote, how do I know if
I'm being catfish?
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Close quote I don't know about that last part.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
I don't know if that actually helps, but it was
still figured it in so Let's find out which state
is the most catfish state in the country. The state
who either falls forward the most, the state which ends
up paying the most in romance scams. Put another way,
the dumbest state in the Union. Let's do this. Coming
(06:29):
in at number ten of the most catfish states in
the country, Alaska with eleven point nine victims per one
hundred thousand people.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
They get lonely, it would make sense.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Eighty seven reported romance scams, a total amount of money
lost to these scams three point five million. Okay, Coming
in at number nine New Mexico eight point one victims
per one hundred thousand, one hundred and seventy one romance
(07:09):
scam reports, one point nine million reportedly lost to these
romance scams. Number eight Oregon, or some people say Oregon
eight point five victims per one hundred thousand people, three
(07:30):
hundred and sixty one romance scam reports.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
And there would be some variants.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Some states will be lower in some categories higher than others,
but they have a composite score.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
But listen to this.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Oregon total amount of money lost to romance scams twelve
million dollars. So I guess they're easier to dupe in Oregon.
I don't know. Number seven deep in the heart of Texas.
Everything's bigger in Texas, even the dumb people. Five point
(08:03):
nine victims per one hundred thousand, one thousand, seven hundred
and fifty two romance scam reports a total of sixty
five point four million dollars lost to romance scams.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
So Texas is really dumb when it comes to this.
Number six Utah seven point seven.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Victims per one hundred thousand, two hundred and fifty six
romance scam reports seven point seven million dollars. They're not
giving up a lot of money in Utah. Maybe they're
just I don't know, checking them out of other things.
How's that working, Utah?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Like, Hey, would you like an extra wife?
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Bosh?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Come on, he had to send that to the judges
for a second opinion because he took a little while
with that one.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Coming in a Number five Mark Ronner, Washington, No, Yes, No.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Eight point five victims per one hundred thousand, six hundred
and fifty seven romance scam reports thirty one point nine
million dollars total money lost to romance scams.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
It's all got to be on the eastern side of
the state where they listen to Mark Furman on the radio.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
I am noticing a pattern that most of these entrance,
at least so far, are on the western portion of
the United States.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Either they think we.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Have more money, or we're more dumb, we're starved for love,
that's what it is, or.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Some sort of combination.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Coming in at number four, another Western state, Arizona nine
victims per one hundred thousand, six hundred and fifty three
romance scam reports eighteen point eight million dollars, not as lucrative,
but good enough to secure the number four spot.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
And number three.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Nevada eleven point two victims per one hundred thousand, three
hundred and fifty two romance scam reports fifteen million dollars
in lost money to romance scams.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
You would think they had enough professionals in Nevada that
this wouldn't be a problem.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Right, Look, it doesn't make sense to me, but they're
still falling for it in Nevada. Coming in at number two.
Is it California or is it someone else? Number two
Florida not surprising, it would make sense to me. Florida, Florida.
(10:48):
Du Yeah, it's not the smartest state around it It's
not that no one would say Florida is home of
the smartest individuals in the country.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
I don't think NOVENSA headquarters wants to be located in Florida.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Eight victims per hundred thousand, one thousand, seven hundred and
thirty eight romance scam reports. Maybe they're targeting the rich
and elderly and total amount of money lost to romance scams.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Seventy point four million dollars. Damn, that's dumb and dam
that's number two. So you know what that means for
number one? Right? No man.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Coming in at number one, Numero Uno is none other
than California, the dumbest state in the Union when it
comes to being catfished. Seven point seven victims per one
hundred thousand tops of the list as far as romance
scam reports at three thousand and twenty three, almost double
anyone else. Total amount of money lost to romance scams
(12:02):
Hold on to your booties one hundred and eighty four
million dollars.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
Now, as someone who is on dating apps, oh, I
can tell you that I can see how California is
number one. And this is why because California is also
home to some of the most beautiful people on the planet,
some of the women in California, And there isn't a
man in this studio that could say it's not true.
(12:33):
Gorgeous women would say the same. Gorgeous men. Some of
these women on these apps are absolutely stellar. The thing
that I don't think enough guys who are desperate in
California get is when you see a woman that says
things like her hobbies are taking trips and shopping, your
(12:54):
immediate thing should be X, swipe left.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Hell no.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
But a lot of dudes they see the women wearing
next to nothing, and for some reason they think that
these are real profiles. Right then next you know, they're
Sometimes I play the game and I like to see
what they're asking for, and I'm like, I want to
see where this is going.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
And I did once.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
I followed one person and as soon as you said,
you know, I want to come to California to see you,
and I'm like, wait a minute. Your profile says you're
in Orange County. Well I just moved, and I'm like, okay,
this is how it happened.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Here. Here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
My thing is, when you look at these profiles of
these beautiful people, men or women. It is very well curated.
The pictures they are modelsque yes, and you are looking
for love on a dating app, I'm what your son are.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
But by and large, note, now here's the thing. Sometimes
what they've started doing is they've started to put themselves
in more regular situations. Oh and then they started saying
things like this is not a catfish and there's actually
one profile.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
So yes, they were exactly what you're doing.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
She's doing videos like I'm doing videos to show you
that I'm real. There are people who show themselves at
local places. But I'm like, this is still a lie.
Oh you can be catfish by more than one person. Absolutely,
we're going together.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Utah and California are tied and the number of victims
taken in by the scams at seven point seven per
one hundred thousand residents, and California also ranked highest in
a number of romance scams, as I was saying, at
three thy and twenty three. So if you want to
target someone, successfully target someone, target someone who lives in California,
(14:40):
your odds are even better.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
You've got to give a little credit to the fact
that California is the most populous state. So some of
this is just a matter of having more people here.
So of course we're going to have more scams.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
But also I think it's the lifestyle of Californians where
there's a better chance. Look, if you're gonna rob someone,
rob someone who has likely has money. The cost of
living is higher in California, so the people in California
have relatively speaking higher means.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Who wants to catfish someone in Mississippi?
Speaker 5 (15:08):
Well, and also people in California are snoodier. You know,
you try to you just a regular person trying to
go holler someone beautiful in a club or in a bar,
even in the mall, and they're like, no, I'm with
my dog, or no I have to go and get
on my vest or whatever stupid thing they have to say.
It's people in California are also a lot more stand
(15:29):
offish and a lot more rude in person. In person,
they're more likely to, you know, tell you to fly
off a cliff or whatever. So people in California are
a lot shyer when it comes to dating.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Is that, Stephan? Is that true? That's absolutely true. Would
you consider yourself to be a shy guy?
Speaker 6 (15:47):
Yeah, And so that's why I can totally back up
to Walla's point, because are you getting ready to make
a confession here? No, nothing's happened, But I'm just saying
that I've tried, and I'm just like, are you sure
you've never been catfish?
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Cool? Oh no, I've never been catfish? Sure, Yeah, that's
what someone who's never been catfish? That's that's what they wanted.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Since Yeah, never, No, not me, I got your back foot.
Have you ever been duped out of money? Oh?
Speaker 7 (16:16):
No, never, never, don't under no circumstances. Has anyone ever
fooled me into thinking that they were a beautiful woman online?
They sent me actual photos? Oh would they lie? There's
a little tip.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
If there is cyrillic lettering in the ad, give it
a pass.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Now people are googling what is cyrillic? It's Later with
mo Kelly. California. They've gone all in on banning plastic bags.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Again. We'll tell you the latest.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on Demand from
KFI AM six.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Forty California lawmakers have voted to ban all plastic grocery bags.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
If you think like we've been here before, well yeah
we have.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
They've approved legislation that effectively bans all plastic grocery bags.
I'm talking about Senate Build ten fifty three and Assembly
Build twenty two thirty six, which prohibit grocery stores from
offering any bags other than paper at checkout and the
devils in the details.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
It doesn't seem that it actually impacts those plastic bags
that you would put your fruit in, you know, in
the produce section. I think those plastic bags are still allowed,
but the ones to check out no more. You may
remember California became the first state in the country to
pass a plastic grocery band bag bag ban, and that
(17:43):
was back in twenty fourteen, ten years ago.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
You think, well, how is this new.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
In fact, we as voters, we upheld the law in
twenty sixteen. But the original law SB two seventy allowed
grocery stores to still offer plastic bags as long as
they were deemed reusable and recyclable. And this loophole, according
to KTLA, led to a surge in the use of
(18:09):
thicker plastic bags, which manufacturers claim meet the criteria but
are still rarely reused.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
That is untrue.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I reuse all of those thicker plastic bags.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
They are great for picking up dog stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
They are great for lining trash cans, they are great
all around the.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
House for all sorts of uses. But no more.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
We will not have them anymore in any of our stores.
And this is where I think a reasonable person can
rightfully find fault and take issue with our legislators, because one,
I don't think this actually addresses a problem, and number two,
it doesn't do it in a way which is going
to make any meaningful impact. It skips over all the
(19:01):
other plastic in the other plastic bags in every single
grocery store that you and I have ever been in
and will go into either tonight, tomorrow or the next day.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
So what exactly are you doing?
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Are you limiting somehow our use of plastics and what's
going to end up in the ocean?
Speaker 3 (19:20):
I don't think so. I really don't think so.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
If anything, you're just being able to say, hey, we've
done our part in the war against climate change or
something something YadA YadA YadA. Plastic is bad. That's what
I think is going on. And Mark Ronner has his
eyebrow up. So I was involuntary.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
I didn't mean to do that. You think I can
control these things?
Speaker 1 (19:43):
No, I think that we should make a distinction between
meaningful legislation and lip service.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
I understand your point, but it sounded like you were
almost on the verge of using that term. What term
do you am I thinking of virtue signaling?
Speaker 1 (20:00):
I hate the phrase because I think it's reductionist.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
It's despicable, and said, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
I don't think they were doing this to send a
signal to those in agreement that you know, we're on
your side. No, I think this is this is something
that can say that we've passed, we've got something done,
but not in relation to the bigger picture of climate
change or limiting the amount of plastic still in society.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Sure, we need a bigger solution to the problem, but
don't you think every little bit helps?
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Not? Really?
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Okay, good talk, No, no, no, I don't think like for example,
you know, it's almost like I'm trying to think of
a quick example. All right, Let's say you're driving your
car and you take your foot off the gas and
you try to coast as much as you can.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Are you really saving a lot of gas? Probably not.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Maybe if you do it all the time over the
course of a year, and you're you're coasting. You know,
sixty five percent of the time, maybe you're saving gas,
but other than that probably not.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yeah, but it's like the plastic straw thing, like is
it really going to affect your life that much?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Come on, well, both ways, I will say the plastic
straw thing is really not going to make a dent
in the way that we still have the plastic spoons.
And I would say, if you want to have the
climate change argument, we are wasting more water and resources.
Talk about recycle, reuse or whatever, replace, whatever the things are.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
When we have when we outlaw.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
These plastic forks, plastic spoons, plastic straws as opposed to.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Allowing them in.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Restaurants, I'm not willing to go to the mat over
plastic forks, if that's what.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
You're trying to provoke. I'm just saying plastic in general.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
I'm saying it has its place, and it has its use,
and where we do use it, I think it is
more economical.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
And maybe on some fronts, but there's no free rides
on earth or in life. And so you see these
pictures of illustrating our disposable society, and they're really sobering
when you see the accumulation of it.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
All, right, think of it this way. We can get
rid of all the plastic bags. But if we're not
willing to go to manufacturers and big business and say,
you know what, we need you to figure out a
different container for your two liter sodas, we need you
to figure out a different container for all these other
products which have a far more deleterious impact, far more
(22:28):
impact as far as the amount of plastics which are
in grocery stores. Let's keep it just in grocery stores.
You know, if you got to the packaging, then I'd
be more inclined to hop a board.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Here's what's going to happen. I grew up with my
grandparents and they were depression people. We're going to have
to show up to the store with jugs and stuff
and just have them refilled and take them home from
now on. Well, you know, we kind of do that
with water bottles as it is.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
H huh. But I would say this.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
You know, we have milk cartons, and we have all
sorts of products which are in cartons, but we haven't
said to Coca Cola or any major distributor of goods
or services that you know, you need to find some
other way to package your goods to limit the amount
of plastics in grocery stores. If you want to do that,
(23:17):
then I'd be more inclined to believe you. And I
was being flipped at the beginning, but I was actually
being serious. As long as I can walk into a
grocery store and there's still those plastic bags for the produce,
what the hell are we doing.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
I bring my food to work in those every day
until they disintegrate, which means.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
They're not going to disintegratee anytime soon. They are reusable.
Are you talking about the grocery Are you talking about
the produce ones? Are you talking about the regular ones?
Speaker 2 (23:42):
No, the thick ones, the ones that you yeah, you
could carry a human head in if you're in a
Sam peckin Palm movie.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
But they are reusable and I get plenty of use.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Yes, Stephan is holding up one right now, the thick
grocery bags.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
They are really useful.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Yeah, if they may bring me the head of Alfredo
Garcia Warren Oates would be carrying around the head in
one of those, because that's how resilient they are.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
And where are the paper bags?
Speaker 1 (24:06):
I mean, are there any grocery stores Whi's using with
any frequency. The whole foods will use them, but I
don't know about the When I went to Vons and Rounds,
they just had the plastic. They just said, do you
want to bag? Yes, I'm not carrying all this stuff
out in my hands.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
No.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
You know what's funny.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
And I didn't realize when I moved to California six
years ago you had to ask for bags. So you
have a whole cart full of stuff, and the checker
asks me, would you like any bags with that? I'm
like no, I'm wearing cargo pants.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
I got this.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Well, it got to be a point where if you
do the self checkout, there's usually one person who's supposedly
there to help you out if you have an issue. Huh,
and that person is never around or never paying attention.
And so I had an issue. Well, depending let me
put it this way, depending on where you shop. If
you shop in the hood, the bags are not left
out because people would keep stealing them. So you have
(25:01):
to ask that person for a bag or two. Even
though you put it on those screen and said, okay, yes,
I purchased two bags. You get to ask that person
and more times than not. That person is nowhere to
be found. They're handling something else in the store, and
I've already purchased my bags. So I got to a
certain point where I just put it in the cart
and or in that hand cart, and I'll walk out
the store with it, and I'll leave the hand cart
(25:23):
where the shopping carts are because I'm not going to
carry all that stuff by hand. You're a rebel. Well,
look I paid for the bags that I didn't get.
They're getting off light. Well, no, that I'll learn them one.
Why do I think he's mocking me? I wouldn't say
soon after me coming back. No, No, I'm so happy
to see you. I'm mocking you. The last thing I
would does. Later with mo Kelly Care if I a
(25:43):
six forty. We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
We have two pieces of Tesla news very quickly before
we end this hour, and then we bring in Twila
Sharp to tell us all about his first cruise experience.
If you're local to the Burbank area, coming up on
October tenth, Tesla will be having a Robotaxi event. They're
going to roll out pun intended their robotaxi product at
(26:14):
Warner Brothers studio, which is right next door to us.
Tesla has been designing this for a number of years,
but they want to use the Burbank neighborhood as a
way of demonstrating how it's robotaxi, which is going to
be in direct competition with Waimo and Cruise whatever. The
other one is whether there's going to drive around Burbank,
(26:37):
which is a suburban city.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
And relatively easy terrain to.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Help demonstrate how someone could go from here to their
start in a suburban community, go downtown. So Tesla is
going all the way in the robotaxi market, much to
my dismay and much you should be Here comes.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
The paid informant. Look, unpredictable.
Speaker 5 (27:03):
Look, you know, I am against all things Tesla, but
I I support this robo taxi movement. Okay, so you
is Twalla wearing a new Rolex today? No, but I
think he has a Tesla in the garage. I thought
there was a new one.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Yeah, you got one of them cyber trucks there at
twelve We had paper plates on it. So I knew
it was brand new, and I couldn't figure out whose
it would be. But only like five of us in
the building. And it's not Mark, and it's not me,
it's not Stephan. Okay, the math is the math.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
This is just coincident.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
You know you're supposed to acknowledge when it's like a
paid endorsement.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
Look, the new Tesla in the garage is COINCIDENTA has
nothing to do with me. I am a supporter of
all things robo taxi.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
All right, well that's the first piece of news, Tesla news.
But the bad news if you're a Tesla owner, and
this has to do an owner right here in California,
Tesla owners here have reportedly had their vehicles towed from
crime scenes by police toad. Police are towing tesla's because
(28:12):
these Teslas may have been placed in sentry mode, which
sets the cars onboard cameras to turn on and capture
everything that goes on outside of the vehicle. Well, these
sentry mode cameras are picking up crimes, sometimes having nothing
to do with the Tesla itself, but it's collecting evidence
on behalf of law enforcement.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Now here's the real rub. Here's the problem. I would have.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
The police usually doesn't say always, usually ask for the
owner's permission to access their Tesla's Sentry mode backup USB drive,
which is located in the glove box, and from there
they can download the content. I know Mark and I
are going to be on the same page with this one.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Listen to this.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
If the owners can't be located, in other words, they
are not in contact, they're not in touch, they can't
be located, officers obtain search warrants and toe the evs
into evidence.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
I think I figured out where Touala is coming from,
and all this after we have the Singularity and it's
the Terminator Apocalypse to all the things. He's the one
who's going to get spared.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Well, you know, he's like the familiar in Blade in
the Vampire saga. He thinks that if he just goes
along and sells out humanity, there'll be a spot at
the table for him, or under the table, as it were.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
You know later on in life.
Speaker 5 (29:33):
Are you saying that, yes, if Musk or if Tesla
reaches us and says, hey, mo, we want you to
do a live broadcast from Warner Brothers Studio for this
Tesla launch and have the crew go around and to
test the robo TAXI are you saying you're gonna say no?
Speaker 1 (29:49):
You know that's that's like saying, hey, mo, if the
NBA reaches out to you and wants you to sign
a two month contract with the with the Lakers, you know,
are you up for it? We'd pay you the union skin,
you know, veterans minimum or something. Yeah, oh yes, I
would accept it. But you know what, Twala, that stuff
is never going to happen.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Okay, I'm reaching out to Tesla to go on and
get well, give Elon my love. Okay, let him know
I said hello, I will.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
The San Francisco Chronicle reports that the Oakland Police sought
to tow at least three Tesla's in July and August,
and now is an accepted part of their crime fighting tactics.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
I mean, I understand how it can.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Be useful, but I also understand it seems like a
violation of the Fourth Amendment. My car is not a
part of the crime. You know, it's not involved in
the crime. And you, according to this, haven't even made
contact with me. Maybe I'm out of town.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
We have a Fourth Amendment. Well, I know, but you know, at.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Least on the service at least you know, fool me
act like we have.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
A fourth Amendment.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
No, they're saying like, oh, we can't get in touches
like you know how you said, like you you tried, well,
I try to get in touch with you. I called
once and the line was busy, or I called once
and you didn't answer. What does try mean to get
in touch with somebody? And then they tow your car?
And then are they going to tow it back? Are
are they gonna charge you for towing in storage like
(31:19):
they would any other parking citation.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Well, they don't perform this service for you for free.
Mo anyhow. See that's another reason not to like. Never
mind added to the list. Let me tell you about
this something else I'm doing. The Blue Door Bash is
coming out.

the iHeartRadio app. Yes, I am back on Tara Faerma
Solid Ground dry Land. As we kick off, I guess
the end of summer kind of sta Yeah, we're getting there.
Labor Day weekend is now over. And let me say,
(00:42):
before I go any further, how wonderful a job that
Mark Runner and Tiffany Hobbs did in my absence.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Thank you very much, very nice of me to say,
we both had a ball and we appreciate you letting
us doing it and trusting us.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Thank you all sincere, all genuine.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
When I was on the ship Royal Caribbean on my
way to Ensenada, Mexico, I did have the opportunity to
catch some of the show Friday evening when.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
You could have been having fun instead. No, no, no, I
had it.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
No.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
I was seven drinks in, so that made it even
more entertaining.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Oh yeah, the alcohol increases the enjoyment of the show
by an order of magnitude.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Being able to listen to name that movie called Classic
with you steering the ship as it were, was really
really enjoyable for me to just sit back and listen
to the show and take in the game from a
listener perspective. And also I had no idea what movies
you had selected, so I was playing just like anyone
(01:49):
else and being able to hear some of the movies
that you had chosen.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
I got maybe, I want to say, five of the seven.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
I was wondering if I made it too easy because
I didn't want to go too deep, and so I
kept it to essentially horror classics that were pretty well
known hits, and everybody got the answers really fast.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Well, all I can say is, look, you are a
radio professional through and through, so it wasn't like I
expected anything differently, but I am I am pleasantly surprised
at how seamlessly and smoothly you ran the show. I mean,
because I know what you're doing from behind the scenes.
(02:30):
I know all the different levers that you're pulling and
the buttons that you're pushing.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
It's not easy at all. I really appreciate that. It
means the world to me to hear you say that.
Thank you very much, And Monday was no different. It
was just a very enjoyable show to listen to.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
And I think anyone who knows me anyone who knows
to all of this is one of my favorite sayings,
and I meet it each and every time that I
say it, that your success is our success, and I
know that you were damn successful well.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Over the weekend, I said, I learned at the feet
of the mastery and we had a terrific guess both nights.
Bert Ward on Friday from Batman Yes, and Alison Martino
from Vintage La Monday night. Couldn't have asked for better guests.
There were tons of fun. I can say this, and
I think you'll understand this. There's something intoxicating about the microphone.
Is There's something really enjoyable about the microphone. There is,
(03:24):
But I mean I went straight home and got the
usual bums rush from everybody. It's not like my life
changed in any significant way. You get brought back down
to earth pretty quick, believe me. Oh absolutely. My wife
doesn't even listen to me exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah, So
I asked her, like, did you hear the show tonight?
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (03:42):
No, I was watching Real Housewives. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
We had this ongoing debate at home whether whether or
not the long Suffering One has ever even read any
of the books I've written, and she insists she has,
but I'm not glying. I mean, if you get to
the point where you got to quiz each other about that,
then why you and bother?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Well, I gotta say this. I enjoyed being away.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
I enjoy being away and leaving the show in very
capable hands. And I don't know if you know this, Mark,
You're not from California, but California has had this long
protracted battle with banning plastic bags, especially in grocery stores.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Well, we have news on that front. You know.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I thought I was going to talk about La Metro today,
but they didn't have an issue today, but they had
one yesterday and Mark Ronner hit it out of the
park covering that.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Well, it's still early. There could be one before the
end of the show. There might be one happening right now.
Someone could be stabbed right now.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
You know that's the knife going in right there. Yeah,
we've got nearly three hours. It's almost a certainty.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Look, Gilligan got lost in less time, so you know,
you never know, you just never know. We have a
Tesla update, actually to Tesla updates. There's so much great
stuff to talk about tonight. But when we come back.
We're going to tell you about the most catfished states
in country, and of course somewhere California is in the mix.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
And if you don't know, catfish is basically fooling someone online.
Presenting yourself is one thing when you're actually something or
someone else, and that includes romance scams, that includes fbis things,
and it includes all those things you put forward this
persona online because you're trying to dupe the person who
(05:32):
you are in conversation with now. In order to find
the most catfished states in the country, researchers at IMMACIL
used Google keyword Planner, reporting from the FBI, as well
as data from other sources to rank states by the
number of victims per one hundred thousand residents, the number
(05:53):
of romance scams reported annually, the total amount of money
loss due to the scams, and the number of catfishing
related searches such as quote, how do I know if
I'm being catfish?
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Close quote I don't know about that last part.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
I don't know if that actually helps, but it was
still figured it in so Let's find out which state
is the most catfish state in the country. The state
who either falls forward the most, the state which ends
up paying the most in romance scams. Put another way,
the dumbest state in the Union. Let's do this. Coming
(06:29):
in at number ten of the most catfish states in
the country, Alaska with eleven point nine victims per one
hundred thousand people.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
They get lonely, it would make sense.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Eighty seven reported romance scams, a total amount of money
lost to these scams three point five million. Okay, Coming
in at number nine New Mexico eight point one victims
per one hundred thousand, one hundred and seventy one romance
(07:09):
scam reports, one point nine million reportedly lost to these
romance scams. Number eight Oregon, or some people say Oregon
eight point five victims per one hundred thousand people, three
(07:30):
hundred and sixty one romance scam reports.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
And there would be some variants.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Some states will be lower in some categories higher than others,
but they have a composite score.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
But listen to this.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Oregon total amount of money lost to romance scams twelve
million dollars. So I guess they're easier to dupe in Oregon.
I don't know. Number seven deep in the heart of Texas.
Everything's bigger in Texas, even the dumb people. Five point
(08:03):
nine victims per one hundred thousand, one thousand, seven hundred
and fifty two romance scam reports a total of sixty
five point four million dollars lost to romance scams.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
So Texas is really dumb when it comes to this.
Number six Utah seven point seven.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Victims per one hundred thousand, two hundred and fifty six
romance scam reports seven point seven million dollars. They're not
giving up a lot of money in Utah. Maybe they're
just I don't know, checking them out of other things.
How's that working, Utah?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Like, Hey, would you like an extra wife?
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Bosh?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Come on, he had to send that to the judges
for a second opinion because he took a little while
with that one.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Coming in a Number five Mark Ronner, Washington, No, Yes, No.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Eight point five victims per one hundred thousand, six hundred
and fifty seven romance scam reports thirty one point nine
million dollars total money lost to romance scams.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
It's all got to be on the eastern side of
the state where they listen to Mark Furman on the radio.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
I am noticing a pattern that most of these entrance,
at least so far, are on the western portion of
the United States.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Either they think we.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Have more money, or we're more dumb, we're starved for love,
that's what it is, or.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Some sort of combination.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Coming in at number four, another Western state, Arizona nine
victims per one hundred thousand, six hundred and fifty three
romance scam reports eighteen point eight million dollars, not as lucrative,
but good enough to secure the number four spot.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
And number three.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Nevada eleven point two victims per one hundred thousand, three
hundred and fifty two romance scam reports fifteen million dollars
in lost money to romance scams.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
You would think they had enough professionals in Nevada that
this wouldn't be a problem.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Right, Look, it doesn't make sense to me, but they're
still falling for it in Nevada. Coming in at number two.
Is it California or is it someone else? Number two
Florida not surprising, it would make sense to me. Florida, Florida.
(10:48):
Du Yeah, it's not the smartest state around it It's
not that no one would say Florida is home of
the smartest individuals in the country.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
I don't think NOVENSA headquarters wants to be located in Florida.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Eight victims per hundred thousand, one thousand, seven hundred and
thirty eight romance scam reports. Maybe they're targeting the rich
and elderly and total amount of money lost to romance scams.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Seventy point four million dollars. Damn, that's dumb and dam
that's number two. So you know what that means for
number one? Right? No man.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Coming in at number one, Numero Uno is none other
than California, the dumbest state in the Union when it
comes to being catfished. Seven point seven victims per one
hundred thousand tops of the list as far as romance
scam reports at three thousand and twenty three, almost double
anyone else. Total amount of money lost to romance scams
(12:02):
Hold on to your booties one hundred and eighty four
million dollars.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
Now, as someone who is on dating apps, oh, I
can tell you that I can see how California is
number one. And this is why because California is also
home to some of the most beautiful people on the planet,
some of the women in California, And there isn't a
man in this studio that could say it's not true.
(12:33):
Gorgeous women would say the same. Gorgeous men. Some of
these women on these apps are absolutely stellar. The thing
that I don't think enough guys who are desperate in
California get is when you see a woman that says
things like her hobbies are taking trips and shopping, your
(12:54):
immediate thing should be X, swipe left.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Hell no.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
But a lot of dudes they see the women wearing
next to nothing, and for some reason they think that
these are real profiles. Right then next you know, they're
Sometimes I play the game and I like to see
what they're asking for, and I'm like, I want to
see where this is going.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
And I did once.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
I followed one person and as soon as you said,
you know, I want to come to California to see you,
and I'm like, wait a minute. Your profile says you're
in Orange County. Well I just moved, and I'm like, okay,
this is how it happened.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Here. Here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
My thing is, when you look at these profiles of
these beautiful people, men or women. It is very well curated.
The pictures they are modelsque yes, and you are looking
for love on a dating app, I'm what your son are.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
But by and large, note, now here's the thing. Sometimes
what they've started doing is they've started to put themselves
in more regular situations. Oh and then they started saying
things like this is not a catfish and there's actually
one profile.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
So yes, they were exactly what you're doing.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
She's doing videos like I'm doing videos to show you
that I'm real. There are people who show themselves at
local places. But I'm like, this is still a lie.
Oh you can be catfish by more than one person. Absolutely,
we're going together.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Utah and California are tied and the number of victims
taken in by the scams at seven point seven per
one hundred thousand residents, and California also ranked highest in
a number of romance scams, as I was saying, at
three thy and twenty three. So if you want to
target someone, successfully target someone, target someone who lives in California,
(14:40):
your odds are even better.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
You've got to give a little credit to the fact
that California is the most populous state. So some of
this is just a matter of having more people here.
So of course we're going to have more scams.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
But also I think it's the lifestyle of Californians where
there's a better chance. Look, if you're gonna rob someone,
rob someone who has likely has money. The cost of
living is higher in California, so the people in California
have relatively speaking higher means.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Who wants to catfish someone in Mississippi?
Speaker 5 (15:08):
Well, and also people in California are snoodier. You know,
you try to you just a regular person trying to
go holler someone beautiful in a club or in a bar,
even in the mall, and they're like, no, I'm with
my dog, or no I have to go and get
on my vest or whatever stupid thing they have to say.
It's people in California are also a lot more stand
(15:29):
offish and a lot more rude in person. In person,
they're more likely to, you know, tell you to fly
off a cliff or whatever. So people in California are
a lot shyer when it comes to dating.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Is that, Stephan? Is that true? That's absolutely true. Would
you consider yourself to be a shy guy?
Speaker 6 (15:47):
Yeah, And so that's why I can totally back up
to Walla's point, because are you getting ready to make
a confession here? No, nothing's happened, But I'm just saying
that I've tried, and I'm just like, are you sure
you've never been catfish?
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Cool? Oh no, I've never been catfish? Sure, Yeah, that's
what someone who's never been catfish? That's that's what they wanted.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Since Yeah, never, No, not me, I got your back foot.
Have you ever been duped out of money? Oh?
Speaker 7 (16:16):
No, never, never, don't under no circumstances. Has anyone ever
fooled me into thinking that they were a beautiful woman online?
They sent me actual photos? Oh would they lie? There's
a little tip.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
If there is cyrillic lettering in the ad, give it
a pass.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Now people are googling what is cyrillic? It's Later with
mo Kelly. California. They've gone all in on banning plastic bags.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Again. We'll tell you the latest.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on Demand from
KFI AM six.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Forty California lawmakers have voted to ban all plastic grocery bags.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
If you think like we've been here before, well yeah
we have.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
They've approved legislation that effectively bans all plastic grocery bags.
I'm talking about Senate Build ten fifty three and Assembly
Build twenty two thirty six, which prohibit grocery stores from
offering any bags other than paper at checkout and the
devils in the details.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
It doesn't seem that it actually impacts those plastic bags
that you would put your fruit in, you know, in
the produce section. I think those plastic bags are still allowed,
but the ones to check out no more. You may
remember California became the first state in the country to
pass a plastic grocery band bag bag ban, and that
(17:43):
was back in twenty fourteen, ten years ago.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
You think, well, how is this new.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
In fact, we as voters, we upheld the law in
twenty sixteen. But the original law SB two seventy allowed
grocery stores to still offer plastic bags as long as
they were deemed reusable and recyclable. And this loophole, according
to KTLA, led to a surge in the use of
(18:09):
thicker plastic bags, which manufacturers claim meet the criteria but
are still rarely reused.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
That is untrue.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I reuse all of those thicker plastic bags.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
They are great for picking up dog stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
They are great for lining trash cans, they are great
all around the.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
House for all sorts of uses. But no more.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
We will not have them anymore in any of our stores.
And this is where I think a reasonable person can
rightfully find fault and take issue with our legislators, because one,
I don't think this actually addresses a problem, and number two,
it doesn't do it in a way which is going
to make any meaningful impact. It skips over all the
(19:01):
other plastic in the other plastic bags in every single
grocery store that you and I have ever been in
and will go into either tonight, tomorrow or the next day.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
So what exactly are you doing?
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Are you limiting somehow our use of plastics and what's
going to end up in the ocean?
Speaker 3 (19:20):
I don't think so. I really don't think so.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
If anything, you're just being able to say, hey, we've
done our part in the war against climate change or
something something YadA YadA YadA. Plastic is bad. That's what
I think is going on. And Mark Ronner has his
eyebrow up. So I was involuntary.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
I didn't mean to do that. You think I can
control these things?
Speaker 1 (19:43):
No, I think that we should make a distinction between
meaningful legislation and lip service.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
I understand your point, but it sounded like you were
almost on the verge of using that term. What term
do you am I thinking of virtue signaling?
Speaker 1 (20:00):
I hate the phrase because I think it's reductionist.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
It's despicable, and said, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
I don't think they were doing this to send a
signal to those in agreement that you know, we're on
your side. No, I think this is this is something
that can say that we've passed, we've got something done,
but not in relation to the bigger picture of climate
change or limiting the amount of plastic still in society.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Sure, we need a bigger solution to the problem, but
don't you think every little bit helps?
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Not? Really?
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Okay, good talk, No, no, no, I don't think like for example,
you know, it's almost like I'm trying to think of
a quick example. All right, Let's say you're driving your
car and you take your foot off the gas and
you try to coast as much as you can.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Are you really saving a lot of gas? Probably not.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Maybe if you do it all the time over the
course of a year, and you're you're coasting. You know,
sixty five percent of the time, maybe you're saving gas,
but other than that probably not.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yeah, but it's like the plastic straw thing, like is
it really going to affect your life that much?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Come on, well, both ways, I will say the plastic
straw thing is really not going to make a dent
in the way that we still have the plastic spoons.
And I would say, if you want to have the
climate change argument, we are wasting more water and resources.
Talk about recycle, reuse or whatever, replace, whatever the things are.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
When we have when we outlaw.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
These plastic forks, plastic spoons, plastic straws as opposed to.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Allowing them in.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Restaurants, I'm not willing to go to the mat over
plastic forks, if that's what.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
You're trying to provoke. I'm just saying plastic in general.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
I'm saying it has its place, and it has its use,
and where we do use it, I think it is
more economical.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
And maybe on some fronts, but there's no free rides
on earth or in life. And so you see these
pictures of illustrating our disposable society, and they're really sobering
when you see the accumulation of it.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
All, right, think of it this way. We can get
rid of all the plastic bags. But if we're not
willing to go to manufacturers and big business and say,
you know what, we need you to figure out a
different container for your two liter sodas, we need you
to figure out a different container for all these other
products which have a far more deleterious impact, far more
(22:28):
impact as far as the amount of plastics which are
in grocery stores. Let's keep it just in grocery stores.
You know, if you got to the packaging, then I'd
be more inclined to hop a board.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Here's what's going to happen. I grew up with my
grandparents and they were depression people. We're going to have
to show up to the store with jugs and stuff
and just have them refilled and take them home from
now on. Well, you know, we kind of do that
with water bottles as it is.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
H huh. But I would say this.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
You know, we have milk cartons, and we have all
sorts of products which are in cartons, but we haven't
said to Coca Cola or any major distributor of goods
or services that you know, you need to find some
other way to package your goods to limit the amount
of plastics in grocery stores. If you want to do that,
(23:17):
then I'd be more inclined to believe you. And I
was being flipped at the beginning, but I was actually
being serious. As long as I can walk into a
grocery store and there's still those plastic bags for the produce,
what the hell are we doing.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
I bring my food to work in those every day
until they disintegrate, which means.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
They're not going to disintegratee anytime soon. They are reusable.
Are you talking about the grocery Are you talking about
the produce ones? Are you talking about the regular ones?
Speaker 2 (23:42):
No, the thick ones, the ones that you yeah, you
could carry a human head in if you're in a
Sam peckin Palm movie.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
But they are reusable and I get plenty of use.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Yes, Stephan is holding up one right now, the thick
grocery bags.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
They are really useful.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Yeah, if they may bring me the head of Alfredo
Garcia Warren Oates would be carrying around the head in
one of those, because that's how resilient they are.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
And where are the paper bags?
Speaker 1 (24:06):
I mean, are there any grocery stores Whi's using with
any frequency. The whole foods will use them, but I
don't know about the When I went to Vons and Rounds,
they just had the plastic. They just said, do you
want to bag? Yes, I'm not carrying all this stuff
out in my hands.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
No.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
You know what's funny.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
And I didn't realize when I moved to California six
years ago you had to ask for bags. So you
have a whole cart full of stuff, and the checker
asks me, would you like any bags with that? I'm
like no, I'm wearing cargo pants.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
I got this.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Well, it got to be a point where if you
do the self checkout, there's usually one person who's supposedly
there to help you out if you have an issue. Huh,
and that person is never around or never paying attention.
And so I had an issue. Well, depending let me
put it this way, depending on where you shop. If
you shop in the hood, the bags are not left
out because people would keep stealing them. So you have
(25:01):
to ask that person for a bag or two. Even
though you put it on those screen and said, okay, yes,
I purchased two bags. You get to ask that person
and more times than not. That person is nowhere to
be found. They're handling something else in the store, and
I've already purchased my bags. So I got to a
certain point where I just put it in the cart
and or in that hand cart, and I'll walk out
the store with it, and I'll leave the hand cart
(25:23):
where the shopping carts are because I'm not going to
carry all that stuff by hand. You're a rebel. Well,
look I paid for the bags that I didn't get.
They're getting off light. Well, no, that I'll learn them one.
Why do I think he's mocking me? I wouldn't say
soon after me coming back. No, No, I'm so happy
to see you. I'm mocking you. The last thing I
would does. Later with mo Kelly Care if I a
(25:43):
six forty. We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
We have two pieces of Tesla news very quickly before
we end this hour, and then we bring in Twila
Sharp to tell us all about his first cruise experience.
If you're local to the Burbank area, coming up on
October tenth, Tesla will be having a Robotaxi event. They're
going to roll out pun intended their robotaxi product at
(26:14):
Warner Brothers studio, which is right next door to us.
Tesla has been designing this for a number of years,
but they want to use the Burbank neighborhood as a
way of demonstrating how it's robotaxi, which is going to
be in direct competition with Waimo and Cruise whatever. The
other one is whether there's going to drive around Burbank,
(26:37):
which is a suburban city.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
And relatively easy terrain to.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Help demonstrate how someone could go from here to their
start in a suburban community, go downtown. So Tesla is
going all the way in the robotaxi market, much to
my dismay and much you should be Here comes.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
The paid informant. Look, unpredictable.
Speaker 5 (27:03):
Look, you know, I am against all things Tesla, but
I I support this robo taxi movement. Okay, so you
is Twalla wearing a new Rolex today? No, but I
think he has a Tesla in the garage. I thought
there was a new one.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Yeah, you got one of them cyber trucks there at
twelve We had paper plates on it. So I knew
it was brand new, and I couldn't figure out whose
it would be. But only like five of us in
the building. And it's not Mark, and it's not me,
it's not Stephan. Okay, the math is the math.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
This is just coincident.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
You know you're supposed to acknowledge when it's like a
paid endorsement.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
Look, the new Tesla in the garage is COINCIDENTA has
nothing to do with me. I am a supporter of
all things robo taxi.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
All right, well that's the first piece of news, Tesla news.
But the bad news if you're a Tesla owner, and
this has to do an owner right here in California,
Tesla owners here have reportedly had their vehicles towed from
crime scenes by police toad. Police are towing tesla's because
(28:12):
these Teslas may have been placed in sentry mode, which
sets the cars onboard cameras to turn on and capture
everything that goes on outside of the vehicle. Well, these
sentry mode cameras are picking up crimes, sometimes having nothing
to do with the Tesla itself, but it's collecting evidence
on behalf of law enforcement.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Now here's the real rub. Here's the problem. I would have.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
The police usually doesn't say always, usually ask for the
owner's permission to access their Tesla's Sentry mode backup USB drive,
which is located in the glove box, and from there
they can download the content. I know Mark and I
are going to be on the same page with this one.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Listen to this.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
If the owners can't be located, in other words, they
are not in contact, they're not in touch, they can't
be located, officers obtain search warrants and toe the evs
into evidence.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
I think I figured out where Touala is coming from,
and all this after we have the Singularity and it's
the Terminator Apocalypse to all the things. He's the one
who's going to get spared.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Well, you know, he's like the familiar in Blade in
the Vampire saga. He thinks that if he just goes
along and sells out humanity, there'll be a spot at
the table for him, or under the table, as it were.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
You know later on in life.
Speaker 5 (29:33):
Are you saying that, yes, if Musk or if Tesla
reaches us and says, hey, mo, we want you to
do a live broadcast from Warner Brothers Studio for this
Tesla launch and have the crew go around and to
test the robo TAXI are you saying you're gonna say no?
Speaker 1 (29:49):
You know that's that's like saying, hey, mo, if the
NBA reaches out to you and wants you to sign
a two month contract with the with the Lakers, you know,
are you up for it? We'd pay you the union skin,
you know, veterans minimum or something. Yeah, oh yes, I
would accept it. But you know what, Twala, that stuff
is never going to happen.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Okay, I'm reaching out to Tesla to go on and
get well, give Elon my love. Okay, let him know
I said hello, I will.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
The San Francisco Chronicle reports that the Oakland Police sought
to tow at least three Tesla's in July and August,
and now is an accepted part of their crime fighting tactics.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
I mean, I understand how it can.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Be useful, but I also understand it seems like a
violation of the Fourth Amendment. My car is not a
part of the crime. You know, it's not involved in
the crime. And you, according to this, haven't even made
contact with me. Maybe I'm out of town.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
We have a Fourth Amendment. Well, I know, but you know, at.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Least on the service at least you know, fool me
act like we have.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
A fourth Amendment.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
No, they're saying like, oh, we can't get in touches
like you know how you said, like you you tried, well,
I try to get in touch with you. I called
once and the line was busy, or I called once
and you didn't answer. What does try mean to get
in touch with somebody? And then they tow your car?
And then are they going to tow it back? Are
are they gonna charge you for towing in storage like
(31:19):
they would any other parking citation.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Well, they don't perform this service for you for free.
Mo anyhow. See that's another reason not to like. Never
mind added to the list. Let me tell you about
this something else I'm doing. The Blue Door Bash is
coming out.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
