Speaker 1 (00:22):
Ok F I am six forty is later with Mo Kelly.
It's Friday the thirteenth.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
I don't know how superstitious you are, but you better
watch out tonight. And speaking of tonight, we're gonna be
playing Name that Movie called Classic, the Horror Movie Edition.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
I know, I know, I know, I know.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Mark Ronner had already done a horror edition of Name
that Movie Called Classic. But since it's Friday the thirteenth,
I will try not to step on his toes and
not repeat any of the movies that he used. But
what better time to have horror movies as our subject
except for maybe Halloween.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
You can never go wrong.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Well, we're not gonna go wrong tonight, so we're definitely
going to do that. And since I mentioned you Mark first,
good evening as always.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
How you doing, my friend?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Hello Mo, We're in the home stretch, yes we are,
and I need your help for something.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Here's why. Oh thank you.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
If I didn't read this incorrectly, it says that the
chance of rain has returned to the forecast. According to
the National Weather Service, a low pressure system moving into
southern California will cause temperatures to drop ten to fifteen
degrees below average over the weekend into next week, but
inland valleys in Metro Los Angeles have a forty percent
(01:39):
chance of rain on Monday. Areas that could see showers
or chances of rain include Orange County and the San
Fernando and San Gabriel Valleys. We go from feast, let's
just say, from famine to feast, all in the course
of a week.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Where are you getting this because I'm on the National
Weather Service site right now and I'm not seeing that.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Well, this is of courding to Katla. Okay, then that's
all I'm saying. It's an inexact science apparently. Look, you know,
I like to think of KTLA as credible, but that's
what KTLA says.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Well, you know, weather, it's not like you know, engineering.
You can be a little bit off and still be okay. Yeah, yeah,
But I would welcome the rain. I really would welcome
the rain.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I like rain.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
I you know, people always complained about that when I
lived in Seattle. I don't understand it. It's weather, I
don't you know. I like seasons as well. I don't
mind rain. Well, here's here's the problem. I welcome the rain.
I just don't want it to rain. When I'm driving.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
If it can rain while I'm at work, if it
can rain when I'm at home, great, But to deal
with la drivers in the rain is a completely different animal.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Yeah, I found that too. Do you find that you
encounter more let's call them birds in the rain on
the road.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Look, not only that.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I actually, if it's really raining hard, I will just
go ahead and take surface treats because the idiots do
not know how to drive in clement weather. And I
don't want to be a statistic or just wrong place,
wrong time because of someone else's lunacy. I'd rather drive
in at thirty five forty miles an hour going north
south on Western Avenue than trying to deal with the
(03:16):
people who are doing eighty five in puddle water the
five freeway.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
That's probably the right thing to do, because I think
people actually interpret rain here as a signal that they
should drive faster. Yeah, yeah, and cut you off with
less room.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Right. You don't know what it means to hydro plane
or how that puts everyone else in danger when you
your dumb ass hydro planes and you lose complete control
of your car.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Well, we might have to ban those fast and furious movies.
I think everybody wants to drift. Now, I think that's
part of it.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
I see more reckless driving than ever before. When I
say ever before, in the past five six years, really
really reckless, really dangerous, not for any particular reason. And
this is what I think reckless drive. Don't understand or
don't remember. You may be or at least in your mind,
the best driver in the world. But if someone cannot
(04:07):
react to you in time, or if you think that
everyone sees you speedy down the highway a one hundred
miles an hour, no, we don't, I promise you, we don't.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
No, And I say a heartfelt goodbye when I leave
for work every day because the commute here it could
be your last one, right.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
No, it really could.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
And as much as I talk about I don't like
flying and the stats concerning driving being much more dangerous,
I am aware of that. I just feel a little
bit more in control. Like when it does start raining, Hey,
I don't have to put myself in the most dangerous
situation when it rains. If I have extra time, I
will take extra time and I'll just take the slower
(04:50):
route in.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Not only that, but did you see the study from
a few days ago showing that SUVs, which I've been
looking at these because I've been looking for a car
for myself forever now, and I've been zeroing in on
some you know, absolute tanks. SUVs may protect you, but
there's seven times more likely to cause the death of
the other person you're in the wreck with.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Well, you can put it this way. If I'm going
to be in a wreck, I'm choosing me. It's nothing personal. Yeah,
and I don't drive an suv or at least as
of yet, but I'm looking at some like you, Mark Ronner.
But yeah, I've always worried about an SUV and a rollover.
That's always been my concern. The higher center of gravity.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Yeah, yeah, that bothers me as well, because as a
reporter in my early days, I had to cover tons
of traffic fatalities, car train accidents and all of it,
all of it, and so you know, it's like it's
like when you read about medical stuff, you start to
think everything you read about you might have those are
at the forefront of your mind or the second you
get on the highway.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Well, that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
When you work in news, you're not really inoculated against anything.
You hear everything you see, all the studies, you see,
all the bad stuff. You get all of that stuff
mainlined into you, and I think it shapes the way
you look at just your personal decisions.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
It'll cause you to have your fight or flight system
on a little bit more than average.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Now, before we go to break, I unfortunately have to
give Taula sharp credit. It's gonna be difficult. It's gonna
be real difficult. Let me compose myself. Yesterday on the show,
we were talking about earthquakes, obviously because we had an earthquake,
and Tauaula was saying, we've had more four plus earthquakes
(06:37):
on the Richter scale than ever before. I'm paraphrasing it,
but it was something to that effect, and I disagreed
with him. I just think we're just more aware of it,
and so we're just talking about it more. Come to
find out, Southern California has broken the record for the
most mag four and above earthquakes in a single year.
So I hate admitting you when he's right, you might
(07:02):
as well just get it over with. That's why I
did it at the end of the segment, so we
don't have to spend a lot of time on it.
It's okay, So what you got to say? Okay, KFI
six fortylive everywhere in No Heart Radio ap not a
Mark Roder with I'm kidding.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I'm kay, i'mkidding.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Go Aheadala, go ahead, have your moment in the sun.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Enjoy it. Yeah, I can't.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
As pleading as it is, it's just all good you
reading that story that I submitted for your attention. I'm
glad that it did end up on the cutting room flo.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
I thought it.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Well, I'm looking at the clock like that's why I
walked in here, like you're forgetting something.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Where are you at on the run? Because the story
was in the top.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Yeah, the previous record was thirteen, and this year we've
had fourteen so far.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Yeah, the average being about eight.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
So yes, we've had more earthquakes four point zero and
higher in California this year than ever before. As Twala
sharp and indicated yesterday, and I disagreed with him, Let's.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
See how things work. See how things work? Are you
sure there's nothing you want to add to that?
Speaker 2 (08:08):
No, I have nothing to say about you, Mark. I'm
right about everything I say with you. Oh no, No,
I mean more about Twala. I mean it's if you're
gonna go to the doctor who and get that one exam,
the exam where you got to bend over, you might
as well be thorough about it.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Is all the plumb. No, I'm good, Thank you, doctor
k IF. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app. And I gotta wonder what people think
being rich is. Is it a number? Is it a lifestyle?
(08:53):
Is it about being debt free? Is it some combination
of all that? But most people find it with a number.
You know, if you make X amount of dollars, you're
supposedly rich. I don't know about that, because we all
know it's very expensive to live here in California. And
you may say, well, I make one hundred thousand dollars
a year. Yeah, that doesn't make you rich in California.
(09:17):
Maybe in Alave Mama, but not necessarily in California. But
I was looking at this article by smart Asset, and
it's it says that the rich millennials are moving to
various states, and they're leaving certain states.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
I'll tell you which one in just a moment.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
But it defines obviously we know millennials, these are people
twenty six to forty five, but it defines households with
people who are aged twenty six to forty five that
bring in more than two hundred thousand dollars per year
as high earners.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
High earners.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
So you could have two people or just one person
making two undred thousand, or two people make it one
hundred thousand, and they would be considered high earners. Now,
I'm not going to talk bad about anyone, but I
do know that just because you crossed a two hundred
thousand dollars house threshold for a household, kids may be involved.
(10:16):
That doesn't take you as far as most people would
think if you don't actually live in California and know
what it's like to live out here. But a lot
of high earning millennials seemingly are leaving the state. So
here's a quick list from smart asset the states which
lost the most high earning millennial households. And I'm quite
(10:43):
sure that Mississippi's not on this list. Just say number ten,
the show me state Missouri. So these are people or
households which make at least two hundred thousand dollars, and
of course ton of one thousand dollars doesn't mean the
same in every state. Number nine, Michigan, Number eight, and
(11:15):
my computer just stopped working just like that.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
All right, number eight.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Here you go, Mark Ronner, I'm ready the state of Washington.
Millennials are just exiting the state I did. Oh wait,
I'm not a millennial. Never mind. Do you make two
hundred thousand dollars? You know where I work? Are you insane? Look,
that's for you to say, that's not for me to say.
Number seven Louisiana, which is kind of surprising to me.
(11:51):
If you make more than two hundred thousand dollars and
you're in Louisiana, it seems like that would be a
pretty decent place to be with that money, unless unless
you know you're working remotely and you want to go
just live somewhere else, unless your home has been submerged. Yeah,
well yeah, but that's been a while since we had.
What is that hurricane which is getting ready hit land
(12:13):
down there?
Speaker 1 (12:14):
I don't have it handy.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Yeah, there's a hurricane that's supposed to hit I think
the New Orleans area this weekend. But it's hard to
believe the Hurricane Katrina was nineteen years ago.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Oh, nineteen years, is it really yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Two thousand and five? Are you talking about Hurricane Francine?
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Yeah, people are without power there right now because of it.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
There we go.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
I wouldn't have said more than like, more than ten
at the most. I can't believe nineteen right, that does
not feel like nineteen years.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
And it just makes us feel like, ahly, life is
just running by us, and it gets even faster as
we get older. But that's Louisiana at number seven. Number
six Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Interesting. Interesting. Number five.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Pennsylvania, And where are you going from Pennsylvania? You're not
moving to California, that's for sure. Number four, according to
smart Asset, the top ten states which have lost the
most high earning millennial households, as in households which make
more than two hundred thousand dollars. Massachusetts another state with
(13:30):
a high cost of living.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
I believe that, yeah, I do.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
And you could leave Massachusetts and go maybe to New
York or something, or you could go to Vermont. You
can go to a state in the area, move to
Maine or something, and your money would go further. Number
three Illinois, and I could believe that too. Yeah, let's
(13:58):
say you live in Chicago, you make a lot of money,
Maybe go to Indiana.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
You don't want to do that, trust me, you really
don't want to do that. Well, I'm not saying that
I would. What one would, Yes, one would one? Uh
number two New York.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Yeah, but two hundred thousand in New York won't get
you a small apartment in Manhattan.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
I'll get your broom closet.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Yeah, so yeah, that makes perfect So literally, yeah, yeah,
literal broom closet. And come again at number one, the
state which lost the most high earning millennial households, households
which make at least two hundred thousand, California. We're losing
(14:53):
all these high earning quote unquote millennials households with at
least two hundred thousand dollars incomes reported to the IRS
millennials twenty six to forty five in age households.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
Now, So you know, that kind of makes sense because
all you hear is about is people moving to Texas.
And then there's a story a while back that said,
now Texas is getting too much because everyone's coming from California.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Well, I think it's a combination of things, and I'm
just spitballing here. If you are in the millennial range,
they have the most hybrid jobs available to them. They
and I'm hearing just from my millennial friends, they have
sometimes two, if not more, full time jobs. But since
they can do it remotely, they can live anywhere. And
(15:40):
if you can live anywhere, then why not live where
there's a lower cost of living? You know, why not
move to some other state and still get the same
amount of money that you're making. You know, you know,
if you don't have to live in California, I guess.
I guess it's up to you. I like living in
California a lot. I like it too. Please don't go.
(16:01):
It's not crowded enough here.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Oh look, you know how I always talk about it.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Look, if you could make my commute to the office
a little bit better by your ass leaving the state,
I am all for it. I will come by and
drop off an apple pie is a going away present.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Please leave. We only have thirty nine million people here,
please stay.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Right, And that's what about Oh my gosh, everybody's leaving California.
I said, good, good, because I remember when California only
had twenty five million. What I remember when California only
had twenty million as a kid.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
All right, it's it is okay.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
California will survive on fewer people, but people want to
use it as a political talking point. No, I'm okay
with people leaving. I really am, because I'm selfish like that.
California is not going to live or die because people leave.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Not gonna happen. I think we've got the slack to
work with here. Yeah, yep.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Now you can make the argument that their dollars are
leading with them and it doesn't pay into the state taxes,
and I get all that, but I don't care.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
Yeah, and it definitely is not really making a big
impact because ninety percent, I would say, of the people
that I picked up were not from here originally, especially
during the holidays taking them to the airport. Yeah, I'm
from New York, I'm from Texas, I'm from Chicago, I'm
from Washington.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Half of the morning from.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Here, people move, you know, people leave, And I don't
grade my quality of life by overcrowding. In other words,
that doesn't improve my quality of life. And California is
very crowded. I mean, just try to drive anywhere on
any given day. Why in the world. Would I care
(17:45):
who is leaving, or why they're leaving, or how much
money they have. I want to be able to drive
to work it under an hour and a half. Because
I don't have one of those hybrid jobs, I don't
get to work remotely for.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Most of the stuff that I do.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
So it's really important that I don't have to feel
like I'm Mark Rohner and liable to flip someone off
because there's so many cars on the road, especially if
it starts raining and they're driving in such a dangerous
way where I may end up dead for reasons having
nothing to do with me.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Only when provoked, only when completely justified.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
But do you think that person in the other car
agrees with you or cares?
Speaker 3 (18:21):
People who are wrong rarely agreed that they're wrong, and
it's incumbent upon you to explain to them that they're
wrong sometime with an extended finger.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
But do they really understand that they're wrong or you
just think very little of them?
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Well, maybe it'll sink in later. I want to give
them the benefit of the doubt. We can all learn.
That is very big of you.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
When we come back, we're going to talk about Friday
the thirteenth, as today is Friday the thirteenth, give you
some history about why it's considered unlucky and where are
some of these superstitions coming from.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
That's next you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on
Demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Today is Friday the thirteenth. I don't consider myself to
be overly superstitious, but some people are. I don't necessarily
worry about stepping on a crack, breaking my mother's back.
I'm not that person who's gonna worry about splitting the poles.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
If walking down the street with my wife, you gotta
say bread and butter when you do that, you do. Yeah,
that's what my grandmother taught me.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
I never was weighed down by those types of superstitions.
And I don't know why that is. It's just something
I never put a lot of stock in. I never
worried about. You know, if you you know, I'm the
person who's gonna say any from the mirror, candy man,
candy man, candy man, beetlejuice, beetlejuice, beetlejuice. I'm not gonna
worry about any of that kind of stuff. Oh, you're
(19:47):
just asking for it. I am, I am. It's not
anything I'm gonna think about, it's not anything I'm gonna
worry about. But some people, some maybe you listening right now,
are just paralyzed by certain superstitions, Friday the thirteenth being
one of them. And it got me thinking about, well,
where where does it come from? Where does Friday the
(20:08):
thirteenth being bad luck come from? And I didn't know this,
and I say this as someone who's a Christian, and
its origins of Friday the thirteenth being bad luck traced
back to Jesus and the Last Supper, where Judas, who
(20:28):
was thought to be the thirteenth person at the Last Supper,
was the one who betrayed Jesus. So therefore thirteen is
bad luck. And the Last Supper, as the Bible tells,
it was on a Thursday, and Jesus was crucified on
a Friday. So the crucifixion of Jesus on Friday and
(20:49):
the number thirteen, when put together, are just doubly bad luck.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
From my research, that's where it comes from.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
And it's weird to me because you see it in
all portions of society. Have you ever been in a
building and noticed it wasn't a thirteenth floor. Hello, that's
a part of the superstition which has become a part
of our everyday culture. I you know, I've been in
a lot of buildings and they'll say twelve A, or
(21:19):
just go twelve fourteen, or to'll be fourteen A or something.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
They'll dance around it.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
There'll be a floor which is quote unquote the thirteenth floor.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
You will in anybody.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
You're not fooling Satan with that.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
And it's funny that you said that because my mom
made the point, which is true. Yeah, you don't have
a level thirteen, but fourteen you're on the thirteteen floor.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
So it doesn't really make a difference.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
So it's like, are you afraid of the number triscadeca
of phobia, you know, the number itself, or is it
about anything which coincides with thirteen? Because you make a
great point, Stephan, And there's still a thirteenth floor, whether
you call it that or not, because if we're counting up,
(22:06):
damn it, it's still the thirteenth floor.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Regardless of what you put on the elevator. Would you
live or work on a thirteenth floor?
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Mister absolutely wouldn't give it a second thought, Really, do
not care? Does not matter to me? Interesting that it
just doesn't, and I know it does to other people.
I've worked on the fifteenth floor when I was working
at Premiere Radio, and that was at the very top.
And the only reason I remember that was because it
was a fifteenth floor and when the elevator was out,
(22:33):
it was a fifteenth floor.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
All right, would you operate a wija board on a
thirteenth floor?
Speaker 2 (22:38):
No? You know what, it's no one. I've never even
figured out how a wija board works. The only thing
that I would say, as far as superstition goes, and
it's this is I admit, this is ironic given what
tonight is going to be. As far as named that
movie called classic, I really don't watch a lot of
modern day horror movies. I think it it it puts
(23:02):
my spirit in a bad place. And and Mark, you
and I were talking about sleep earlier. Yeah, and when
I watch certain movies at night, it will disturb my sleep,
and my sleep is very important to me. And that's
part of the reason why I don't watch a lot
of modern day horror movies. Now, where I watched the
movies of the of the eighties because it's a different
(23:23):
type of horror.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Those were more slasher than anything.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
It wasn't the supernatural horror, the stuff that's going on
what they do today.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
No, I don't do those. That's about it, you know.
I think this slasher stuff can be more severe. I
find current horror films to be weirdly kind of puritanical.
You really you saw a lot of gross stuff back then,
you know what?
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Because for me, the eighties slasher movies were so over
the top ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
The stupidity of the victims.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Uh, they never have sex, especially not in the campground
ever never.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
You know, and don't be young and attractive either now,
don't go anywhere or do anything or you're asking for it.
And maybe it was the ridiculous nature of the plot.
You had the superhumans, almost supernatural killers, Michael Myers, Jason
voorhe's Freddy Krueger. So it didn't seem as anything that
was real. And I put that like real, small case.
(24:17):
But when you get into the supernatural good and evil,
that's the stuff that tends to bother me more.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
And yet you pardon me, you like the Exorcist.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
I liked it, but I wouldn't watch like a modern
day version of it.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Well, those all.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Suck, but the original one and the third one are outstanding.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Yeah, and you know what, And I don't have any
real desire to watch the original either. You know, the
closest I get to the Exorcist is I will go
to the Exorcist steps at Georgetown.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
I'll always be jealous of that. But at least I
can always count on you when I start the chant
to chime in with the power of Christ compels you,
see you right there.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
I can't say what it is because a lot of profatity. Eight.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
I've got a message from your mother, Carus, tell me
father may it may all right? All right, look at
the time, but I'm saying I've seen the movie. But
those movies don't have the same appeal to me.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Now.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
But I don't think to the best about knowledge, I
have any real superstitions.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
But a lot of people who aren't superstitious still kind
of hedge their bets. You know, they won't do something
just on the off chance.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Yeah, no, no, no, I get that. I get that, but
I can't think of one for me. Walking under a ladder,
Yeah I've done that. Okay, Yeah, I've done that a
bunch of times. Need to get you a thrill secret
T shirt, you know. But see, the thing is, but
I'm not the person who's going to jump out of
an airplane with a parachute.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Oh I do that.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
See, And that for me is not superstition because that
is real to me. That's real danger. That's not perceived danger.
That's real danger. Okay, jump out of a plane with
a weija board. I'm putting that on my list. Yeah,
I'll pass this Later with Mo Kelly, can't. I am
six forty. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Happy
Friday the thirteenth.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
I Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
It's Later with mo Kelly, Live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
And just want to remind you sometimes I get messages
from you and I appreciate all of them. You can
hit me at Later with mo Kelly on Instagram or
you can send me Yeah, send me a message there.
It's easy there. And you can hit me on Facebook
at mister mo Kelly. And people often, and I'm actually
(26:38):
flattered and appreciative. They ask, Hey, mo tell us more
about your martial arts that you do well. It's art
of It's a Korean art called hop Keto, and I've
been studying at Songs Hop Keto in Culver City for
thirty years now.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
I thirty years in a month.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
I started there in August of nineteen ninety four, and
that was after taking two and a half years with
Master Temant Kwan in Torrance when I was in high school.
And the place I've been at now Songs Upkeepe. I've
been there ever since and it's the best decision I've
ever made with my life. And people ask me in
(27:17):
these messages, hey, is it too late I'm fifty five
years old? Or I have I just had a knee
surgery last year.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Can I do it?
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Absolutely, You're never too old because Hapkeito is one of
the few martial arts which is so well balanced. It
takes into account the natural aging process. It takes into
account that you may be a woman and someone is
physically bigger and stronger than you.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
It's for everyone in all sizes.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
It's about learning about leverage and using your body, using
opponent's energy against him or her. There's a lot of
science to it, and there's a lot of philosophy to
it as well.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
I encourage you to come out.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
I teach all the classes on Saturday, so if you
want to come by and say hello and see what
a class is like. I may not be able to
have time to talk a lot, obviously because I'm teaching
the classes, but you can come by four three five
four support of the Boulevard in Culver City. I'll be
there from nine am to noon tomorrow teaching two kids
(28:18):
classes in an adult class. So come on out and
see for yourself. It's a fully balanced martial art. We
do takedowns, throws, kicking, punching, purely self defense, purely offense weapons,
all that kind of stuff. It is great fun and
(28:40):
it is also one of the few things that you
can do for yourself and you can take it with you.
What I mean by that is you can go to
the gym, you can lift weights, you can go get
on a treadmill, but you can't really take that with
you and apply it to other portions of your life
where with hap kto it. It helps with your just
(29:02):
emotional health. It helps so you don't flip off people
on the freeway like Mark Rontern gets shot.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
It helps just like take a shot to you. I
noticed that.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Yeah, you like to wait until you can see that
I'm absorbed in something.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Make sure. And it's like a police radio. Blah blah
blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Mar Wait what No, I just received actually, you know, squirrel,
I just received a message from someone on threads at,
mister mo'kelly saying that I should remind you that you
shouldn't flip off people because you might get shot doing so.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Why I would prefer not to get shot, that's for certain. Okay, Well,
they're just saying they don't flip off anyone.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
You're blaming the victim, though I'm the victim. Initially, I'm
the victim of the rudeness. I'm signaling that I am
not okay with the rudeness with that one finger. Why
would a person compound the rudeness by doing something dangerous
and obnoxious in the car and then shooting me in
the face on top of it?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
It would make you literally the victim, then, yes, a
victim of a gunshot.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
Will that's just downright and polite. I gotta say, look,
I'm just passing it along.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
You can do with it what you will, Oh, I okay,
done just to let you know. So I'll be teaching
classes tomorrow and we're having a belt test on the
twenty eighth, so you can come in and watch the
different students test for the various belts. You can see
it for yourself. It's not like I'm just trying to
hawk my dojong. I'm just answering your questions people who
(30:29):
want to know. It's like I don't talk about it
all the time because it's not a subject for me
to talk about all the time. No, but I'm just
answering your many messages and I appreciate the interest. So
it's songs Hop Keto four three five four Supulvida Boulevard
in Culver City. I'll be teaching tomorrow from nine to noon,
(30:50):
and maybe we'll even get Mark Runner out there at
one point.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Do any of the belt tests involve walking across rice
paper without leaving any footprints?
Speaker 4 (30:57):
No?
Speaker 1 (30:58):
No, well, then count me out. Is that like Kuai
Jung King? Yeah? It is, yes, I thought.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Do you apparently think you're too good to do what
the shellon monks do?
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Well, well, let's just say Kung Fu is Chinese and
Ham Kto's Korean.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
We'll just say that I respect all cultural differences or something.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Yes, they're not they're not exactly this.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Okay, you know, yeah, anything else to mock me, I.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Wouldn't dream of it. I think you know me better
than that. I would never mock a man of your statue.
Ye oh, you said it earlier. What is going to
be the subject of your run A report tonight?
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Today we're going to talk about Speak No Evil.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
It's a brand new thriller with James McAvoy, who you
might recognize from X Men and The m Night Chamel
in movies like Split. You know, it's a movie that
you're never going to see because you don't like thrillers
and horror films.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Well, no, no, no thrillers in horror movies like, for example,
I saw The Split and Glass, and I will watch
thriller slash horror. I'm not going to watch the straight
up horror movies. There has to be an they're angle
to it.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Well, then maybe you'll like this, okay, all right, maybe
you'll think twice about meeting people on the next trip
you take with your significant other.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Well, I don't want you to give it all the
way now never. No no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
No, that's coming up at eight thirty SO kf I
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
We are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
Free range, non genetically modified, handcrafted, artisanal grout and free
stimulating talk.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
K f I KOs t HD two Los Angeles, Orange County,
Live everywhere on the
Ok F I am six forty is later with Mo Kelly.
It's Friday the thirteenth.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
I don't know how superstitious you are, but you better
watch out tonight. And speaking of tonight, we're gonna be
playing Name that Movie called Classic, the Horror Movie Edition.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
I know, I know, I know, I know.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Mark Ronner had already done a horror edition of Name
that Movie Called Classic. But since it's Friday the thirteenth,
I will try not to step on his toes and
not repeat any of the movies that he used. But
what better time to have horror movies as our subject
except for maybe Halloween.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
You can never go wrong.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Well, we're not gonna go wrong tonight, so we're definitely
going to do that. And since I mentioned you Mark first,
good evening as always.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
How you doing, my friend?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Hello Mo, We're in the home stretch, yes we are,
and I need your help for something.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Here's why. Oh thank you.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
If I didn't read this incorrectly, it says that the
chance of rain has returned to the forecast. According to
the National Weather Service, a low pressure system moving into
southern California will cause temperatures to drop ten to fifteen
degrees below average over the weekend into next week, but
inland valleys in Metro Los Angeles have a forty percent
(01:39):
chance of rain on Monday. Areas that could see showers
or chances of rain include Orange County and the San
Fernando and San Gabriel Valleys. We go from feast, let's
just say, from famine to feast, all in the course
of a week.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Where are you getting this because I'm on the National
Weather Service site right now and I'm not seeing that.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Well, this is of courding to Katla. Okay, then that's
all I'm saying. It's an inexact science apparently. Look, you know,
I like to think of KTLA as credible, but that's
what KTLA says.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Well, you know, weather, it's not like you know, engineering.
You can be a little bit off and still be okay. Yeah, yeah,
But I would welcome the rain. I really would welcome
the rain.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I like rain.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
I you know, people always complained about that when I
lived in Seattle. I don't understand it. It's weather, I
don't you know. I like seasons as well. I don't
mind rain. Well, here's here's the problem. I welcome the rain.
I just don't want it to rain. When I'm driving.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
If it can rain while I'm at work, if it
can rain when I'm at home, great, But to deal
with la drivers in the rain is a completely different animal.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Yeah, I found that too. Do you find that you
encounter more let's call them birds in the rain on
the road.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Look, not only that.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I actually, if it's really raining hard, I will just
go ahead and take surface treats because the idiots do
not know how to drive in clement weather. And I
don't want to be a statistic or just wrong place,
wrong time because of someone else's lunacy. I'd rather drive
in at thirty five forty miles an hour going north
south on Western Avenue than trying to deal with the
(03:16):
people who are doing eighty five in puddle water the
five freeway.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
That's probably the right thing to do, because I think
people actually interpret rain here as a signal that they
should drive faster. Yeah, yeah, and cut you off with
less room.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Right. You don't know what it means to hydro plane
or how that puts everyone else in danger when you
your dumb ass hydro planes and you lose complete control
of your car.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Well, we might have to ban those fast and furious movies.
I think everybody wants to drift. Now, I think that's
part of it.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
I see more reckless driving than ever before. When I
say ever before, in the past five six years, really
really reckless, really dangerous, not for any particular reason. And
this is what I think reckless drive. Don't understand or
don't remember. You may be or at least in your mind,
the best driver in the world. But if someone cannot
(04:07):
react to you in time, or if you think that
everyone sees you speedy down the highway a one hundred
miles an hour, no, we don't, I promise you, we don't.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
No, And I say a heartfelt goodbye when I leave
for work every day because the commute here it could
be your last one, right.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
No, it really could.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
And as much as I talk about I don't like
flying and the stats concerning driving being much more dangerous,
I am aware of that. I just feel a little
bit more in control. Like when it does start raining, Hey,
I don't have to put myself in the most dangerous
situation when it rains. If I have extra time, I
will take extra time and I'll just take the slower
(04:50):
route in.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Not only that, but did you see the study from
a few days ago showing that SUVs, which I've been
looking at these because I've been looking for a car
for myself forever now, and I've been zeroing in on
some you know, absolute tanks. SUVs may protect you, but
there's seven times more likely to cause the death of
the other person you're in the wreck with.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Well, you can put it this way. If I'm going
to be in a wreck, I'm choosing me. It's nothing personal. Yeah,
and I don't drive an suv or at least as
of yet, but I'm looking at some like you, Mark Ronner.
But yeah, I've always worried about an SUV and a rollover.
That's always been my concern. The higher center of gravity.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Yeah, yeah, that bothers me as well, because as a
reporter in my early days, I had to cover tons
of traffic fatalities, car train accidents and all of it,
all of it, and so you know, it's like it's
like when you read about medical stuff, you start to
think everything you read about you might have those are
at the forefront of your mind or the second you
get on the highway.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Well, that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
When you work in news, you're not really inoculated against anything.
You hear everything you see, all the studies, you see,
all the bad stuff. You get all of that stuff
mainlined into you, and I think it shapes the way
you look at just your personal decisions.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
It'll cause you to have your fight or flight system
on a little bit more than average.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Now, before we go to break, I unfortunately have to
give Taula sharp credit. It's gonna be difficult. It's gonna
be real difficult. Let me compose myself. Yesterday on the show,
we were talking about earthquakes, obviously because we had an earthquake,
and Tauaula was saying, we've had more four plus earthquakes
(06:37):
on the Richter scale than ever before. I'm paraphrasing it,
but it was something to that effect, and I disagreed
with him. I just think we're just more aware of it,
and so we're just talking about it more. Come to
find out, Southern California has broken the record for the
most mag four and above earthquakes in a single year.
So I hate admitting you when he's right, you might
(07:02):
as well just get it over with. That's why I
did it at the end of the segment, so we
don't have to spend a lot of time on it.
It's okay, So what you got to say? Okay, KFI
six fortylive everywhere in No Heart Radio ap not a
Mark Roder with I'm kidding.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I'm kay, i'mkidding.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Go Aheadala, go ahead, have your moment in the sun.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Enjoy it. Yeah, I can't.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
As pleading as it is, it's just all good you
reading that story that I submitted for your attention. I'm
glad that it did end up on the cutting room flo.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
I thought it.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Well, I'm looking at the clock like that's why I
walked in here, like you're forgetting something.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Where are you at on the run? Because the story
was in the top.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Yeah, the previous record was thirteen, and this year we've
had fourteen so far.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Yeah, the average being about eight.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
So yes, we've had more earthquakes four point zero and
higher in California this year than ever before. As Twala
sharp and indicated yesterday, and I disagreed with him, Let's.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
See how things work. See how things work? Are you
sure there's nothing you want to add to that?
Speaker 2 (08:08):
No, I have nothing to say about you, Mark. I'm
right about everything I say with you. Oh no, No,
I mean more about Twala. I mean it's if you're
gonna go to the doctor who and get that one exam,
the exam where you got to bend over, you might
as well be thorough about it.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Is all the plumb. No, I'm good, Thank you, doctor
k IF. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app. And I gotta wonder what people think
being rich is. Is it a number? Is it a lifestyle?
(08:53):
Is it about being debt free? Is it some combination
of all that? But most people find it with a number.
You know, if you make X amount of dollars, you're
supposedly rich. I don't know about that, because we all
know it's very expensive to live here in California. And
you may say, well, I make one hundred thousand dollars
a year. Yeah, that doesn't make you rich in California.
(09:17):
Maybe in Alave Mama, but not necessarily in California. But
I was looking at this article by smart Asset, and
it's it says that the rich millennials are moving to
various states, and they're leaving certain states.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
I'll tell you which one in just a moment.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
But it defines obviously we know millennials, these are people
twenty six to forty five, but it defines households with
people who are aged twenty six to forty five that
bring in more than two hundred thousand dollars per year
as high earners.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
High earners.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
So you could have two people or just one person
making two undred thousand, or two people make it one
hundred thousand, and they would be considered high earners. Now,
I'm not going to talk bad about anyone, but I
do know that just because you crossed a two hundred
thousand dollars house threshold for a household, kids may be involved.
(10:16):
That doesn't take you as far as most people would
think if you don't actually live in California and know
what it's like to live out here. But a lot
of high earning millennials seemingly are leaving the state. So
here's a quick list from smart asset the states which
lost the most high earning millennial households. And I'm quite
(10:43):
sure that Mississippi's not on this list. Just say number ten,
the show me state Missouri. So these are people or
households which make at least two hundred thousand dollars, and
of course ton of one thousand dollars doesn't mean the
same in every state. Number nine, Michigan, Number eight, and
(11:15):
my computer just stopped working just like that.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
All right, number eight.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Here you go, Mark Ronner, I'm ready the state of Washington.
Millennials are just exiting the state I did. Oh wait,
I'm not a millennial. Never mind. Do you make two
hundred thousand dollars? You know where I work? Are you insane? Look,
that's for you to say, that's not for me to say.
Number seven Louisiana, which is kind of surprising to me.
(11:51):
If you make more than two hundred thousand dollars and
you're in Louisiana, it seems like that would be a
pretty decent place to be with that money, unless unless
you know you're working remotely and you want to go
just live somewhere else, unless your home has been submerged. Yeah,
well yeah, but that's been a while since we had.
What is that hurricane which is getting ready hit land
(12:13):
down there?
Speaker 1 (12:14):
I don't have it handy.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Yeah, there's a hurricane that's supposed to hit I think
the New Orleans area this weekend. But it's hard to
believe the Hurricane Katrina was nineteen years ago.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Oh, nineteen years, is it really yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Two thousand and five? Are you talking about Hurricane Francine?
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Yeah, people are without power there right now because of it.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
There we go.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
I wouldn't have said more than like, more than ten
at the most. I can't believe nineteen right, that does
not feel like nineteen years.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
And it just makes us feel like, ahly, life is
just running by us, and it gets even faster as
we get older. But that's Louisiana at number seven. Number
six Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Interesting. Interesting. Number five.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Pennsylvania, And where are you going from Pennsylvania? You're not
moving to California, that's for sure. Number four, according to
smart Asset, the top ten states which have lost the
most high earning millennial households, as in households which make
more than two hundred thousand dollars. Massachusetts another state with
(13:30):
a high cost of living.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
I believe that, yeah, I do.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
And you could leave Massachusetts and go maybe to New
York or something, or you could go to Vermont. You
can go to a state in the area, move to
Maine or something, and your money would go further. Number
three Illinois, and I could believe that too. Yeah, let's
(13:58):
say you live in Chicago, you make a lot of money,
Maybe go to Indiana.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
You don't want to do that, trust me, you really
don't want to do that. Well, I'm not saying that
I would. What one would, Yes, one would one? Uh
number two New York.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Yeah, but two hundred thousand in New York won't get
you a small apartment in Manhattan.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
I'll get your broom closet.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Yeah, so yeah, that makes perfect So literally, yeah, yeah,
literal broom closet. And come again at number one, the
state which lost the most high earning millennial households, households
which make at least two hundred thousand, California. We're losing
(14:53):
all these high earning quote unquote millennials households with at
least two hundred thousand dollars incomes reported to the IRS
millennials twenty six to forty five in age households.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
Now, So you know, that kind of makes sense because
all you hear is about is people moving to Texas.
And then there's a story a while back that said,
now Texas is getting too much because everyone's coming from California.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Well, I think it's a combination of things, and I'm
just spitballing here. If you are in the millennial range,
they have the most hybrid jobs available to them. They
and I'm hearing just from my millennial friends, they have
sometimes two, if not more, full time jobs. But since
they can do it remotely, they can live anywhere. And
(15:40):
if you can live anywhere, then why not live where
there's a lower cost of living? You know, why not
move to some other state and still get the same
amount of money that you're making. You know, you know,
if you don't have to live in California, I guess.
I guess it's up to you. I like living in
California a lot. I like it too. Please don't go.
(16:01):
It's not crowded enough here.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Oh look, you know how I always talk about it.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Look, if you could make my commute to the office
a little bit better by your ass leaving the state,
I am all for it. I will come by and
drop off an apple pie is a going away present.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Please leave. We only have thirty nine million people here,
please stay.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Right, And that's what about Oh my gosh, everybody's leaving California.
I said, good, good, because I remember when California only
had twenty five million. What I remember when California only
had twenty million as a kid.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
All right, it's it is okay.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
California will survive on fewer people, but people want to
use it as a political talking point. No, I'm okay
with people leaving. I really am, because I'm selfish like that.
California is not going to live or die because people leave.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Not gonna happen. I think we've got the slack to
work with here. Yeah, yep.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Now you can make the argument that their dollars are
leading with them and it doesn't pay into the state taxes,
and I get all that, but I don't care.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
Yeah, and it definitely is not really making a big
impact because ninety percent, I would say, of the people
that I picked up were not from here originally, especially
during the holidays taking them to the airport. Yeah, I'm
from New York, I'm from Texas, I'm from Chicago, I'm
from Washington.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Half of the morning from.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Here, people move, you know, people leave, And I don't
grade my quality of life by overcrowding. In other words,
that doesn't improve my quality of life. And California is
very crowded. I mean, just try to drive anywhere on
any given day. Why in the world. Would I care
(17:45):
who is leaving, or why they're leaving, or how much
money they have. I want to be able to drive
to work it under an hour and a half. Because
I don't have one of those hybrid jobs, I don't
get to work remotely for.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Most of the stuff that I do.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
So it's really important that I don't have to feel
like I'm Mark Rohner and liable to flip someone off
because there's so many cars on the road, especially if
it starts raining and they're driving in such a dangerous
way where I may end up dead for reasons having
nothing to do with me.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Only when provoked, only when completely justified.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
But do you think that person in the other car
agrees with you or cares?
Speaker 3 (18:21):
People who are wrong rarely agreed that they're wrong, and
it's incumbent upon you to explain to them that they're
wrong sometime with an extended finger.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
But do they really understand that they're wrong or you
just think very little of them?
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Well, maybe it'll sink in later. I want to give
them the benefit of the doubt. We can all learn.
That is very big of you.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
When we come back, we're going to talk about Friday
the thirteenth, as today is Friday the thirteenth, give you
some history about why it's considered unlucky and where are
some of these superstitions coming from.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
That's next you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on
Demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Today is Friday the thirteenth. I don't consider myself to
be overly superstitious, but some people are. I don't necessarily
worry about stepping on a crack, breaking my mother's back.
I'm not that person who's gonna worry about splitting the poles.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
If walking down the street with my wife, you gotta
say bread and butter when you do that, you do. Yeah,
that's what my grandmother taught me.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
I never was weighed down by those types of superstitions.
And I don't know why that is. It's just something
I never put a lot of stock in. I never
worried about. You know, if you you know, I'm the
person who's gonna say any from the mirror, candy man,
candy man, candy man, beetlejuice, beetlejuice, beetlejuice. I'm not gonna
worry about any of that kind of stuff. Oh, you're
(19:47):
just asking for it. I am, I am. It's not
anything I'm gonna think about, it's not anything I'm gonna
worry about. But some people, some maybe you listening right now,
are just paralyzed by certain superstitions, Friday the thirteenth being
one of them. And it got me thinking about, well,
where where does it come from? Where does Friday the
(20:08):
thirteenth being bad luck come from? And I didn't know this,
and I say this as someone who's a Christian, and
its origins of Friday the thirteenth being bad luck traced
back to Jesus and the Last Supper, where Judas, who
(20:28):
was thought to be the thirteenth person at the Last Supper,
was the one who betrayed Jesus. So therefore thirteen is
bad luck. And the Last Supper, as the Bible tells,
it was on a Thursday, and Jesus was crucified on
a Friday. So the crucifixion of Jesus on Friday and
(20:49):
the number thirteen, when put together, are just doubly bad luck.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
From my research, that's where it comes from.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
And it's weird to me because you see it in
all portions of society. Have you ever been in a
building and noticed it wasn't a thirteenth floor. Hello, that's
a part of the superstition which has become a part
of our everyday culture. I you know, I've been in
a lot of buildings and they'll say twelve A, or
(21:19):
just go twelve fourteen, or to'll be fourteen A or something.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
They'll dance around it.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
There'll be a floor which is quote unquote the thirteenth floor.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
You will in anybody.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
You're not fooling Satan with that.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
And it's funny that you said that because my mom
made the point, which is true. Yeah, you don't have
a level thirteen, but fourteen you're on the thirteteen floor.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
So it doesn't really make a difference.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
So it's like, are you afraid of the number triscadeca
of phobia, you know, the number itself, or is it
about anything which coincides with thirteen? Because you make a
great point, Stephan, And there's still a thirteenth floor, whether
you call it that or not, because if we're counting up,
(22:06):
damn it, it's still the thirteenth floor.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Regardless of what you put on the elevator. Would you
live or work on a thirteenth floor?
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Mister absolutely wouldn't give it a second thought, Really, do
not care? Does not matter to me? Interesting that it
just doesn't, and I know it does to other people.
I've worked on the fifteenth floor when I was working
at Premiere Radio, and that was at the very top.
And the only reason I remember that was because it
was a fifteenth floor and when the elevator was out,
(22:33):
it was a fifteenth floor.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
All right, would you operate a wija board on a
thirteenth floor?
Speaker 2 (22:38):
No? You know what, it's no one. I've never even
figured out how a wija board works. The only thing
that I would say, as far as superstition goes, and
it's this is I admit, this is ironic given what
tonight is going to be. As far as named that
movie called classic, I really don't watch a lot of
modern day horror movies. I think it it it puts
(23:02):
my spirit in a bad place. And and Mark, you
and I were talking about sleep earlier. Yeah, and when
I watch certain movies at night, it will disturb my sleep,
and my sleep is very important to me. And that's
part of the reason why I don't watch a lot
of modern day horror movies. Now, where I watched the
movies of the of the eighties because it's a different
(23:23):
type of horror.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Those were more slasher than anything.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
It wasn't the supernatural horror, the stuff that's going on
what they do today.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
No, I don't do those. That's about it, you know.
I think this slasher stuff can be more severe. I
find current horror films to be weirdly kind of puritanical.
You really you saw a lot of gross stuff back then,
you know what?
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Because for me, the eighties slasher movies were so over
the top ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
The stupidity of the victims.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Uh, they never have sex, especially not in the campground
ever never.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
You know, and don't be young and attractive either now,
don't go anywhere or do anything or you're asking for it.
And maybe it was the ridiculous nature of the plot.
You had the superhumans, almost supernatural killers, Michael Myers, Jason
voorhe's Freddy Krueger. So it didn't seem as anything that
was real. And I put that like real, small case.
(24:17):
But when you get into the supernatural good and evil,
that's the stuff that tends to bother me more.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
And yet you pardon me, you like the Exorcist.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
I liked it, but I wouldn't watch like a modern
day version of it.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Well, those all.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Suck, but the original one and the third one are outstanding.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Yeah, and you know what, And I don't have any
real desire to watch the original either. You know, the
closest I get to the Exorcist is I will go
to the Exorcist steps at Georgetown.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
I'll always be jealous of that. But at least I
can always count on you when I start the chant
to chime in with the power of Christ compels you,
see you right there.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
I can't say what it is because a lot of profatity. Eight.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
I've got a message from your mother, Carus, tell me
father may it may all right? All right, look at
the time, but I'm saying I've seen the movie. But
those movies don't have the same appeal to me.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Now.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
But I don't think to the best about knowledge, I
have any real superstitions.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
But a lot of people who aren't superstitious still kind
of hedge their bets. You know, they won't do something
just on the off chance.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Yeah, no, no, no, I get that. I get that, but
I can't think of one for me. Walking under a ladder,
Yeah I've done that. Okay, Yeah, I've done that a
bunch of times. Need to get you a thrill secret
T shirt, you know. But see, the thing is, but
I'm not the person who's going to jump out of
an airplane with a parachute.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Oh I do that.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
See, And that for me is not superstition because that
is real to me. That's real danger. That's not perceived danger.
That's real danger. Okay, jump out of a plane with
a weija board. I'm putting that on my list. Yeah,
I'll pass this Later with Mo Kelly, can't. I am
six forty. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Happy
Friday the thirteenth.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
I Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
It's Later with mo Kelly, Live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
And just want to remind you sometimes I get messages
from you and I appreciate all of them. You can
hit me at Later with mo Kelly on Instagram or
you can send me Yeah, send me a message there.
It's easy there. And you can hit me on Facebook
at mister mo Kelly. And people often, and I'm actually
(26:38):
flattered and appreciative. They ask, Hey, mo tell us more
about your martial arts that you do well. It's art
of It's a Korean art called hop Keto, and I've
been studying at Songs Hop Keto in Culver City for
thirty years now.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
I thirty years in a month.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
I started there in August of nineteen ninety four, and
that was after taking two and a half years with
Master Temant Kwan in Torrance when I was in high school.
And the place I've been at now Songs Upkeepe. I've
been there ever since and it's the best decision I've
ever made with my life. And people ask me in
(27:17):
these messages, hey, is it too late I'm fifty five
years old? Or I have I just had a knee
surgery last year.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Can I do it?
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Absolutely, You're never too old because Hapkeito is one of
the few martial arts which is so well balanced. It
takes into account the natural aging process. It takes into
account that you may be a woman and someone is
physically bigger and stronger than you.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
It's for everyone in all sizes.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
It's about learning about leverage and using your body, using
opponent's energy against him or her. There's a lot of
science to it, and there's a lot of philosophy to
it as well.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
I encourage you to come out.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
I teach all the classes on Saturday, so if you
want to come by and say hello and see what
a class is like. I may not be able to
have time to talk a lot, obviously because I'm teaching
the classes, but you can come by four three five
four support of the Boulevard in Culver City. I'll be
there from nine am to noon tomorrow teaching two kids
(28:18):
classes in an adult class. So come on out and
see for yourself. It's a fully balanced martial art. We
do takedowns, throws, kicking, punching, purely self defense, purely offense weapons,
all that kind of stuff. It is great fun and
(28:40):
it is also one of the few things that you
can do for yourself and you can take it with you.
What I mean by that is you can go to
the gym, you can lift weights, you can go get
on a treadmill, but you can't really take that with
you and apply it to other portions of your life
where with hap kto it. It helps with your just
(29:02):
emotional health. It helps so you don't flip off people
on the freeway like Mark Rontern gets shot.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
It helps just like take a shot to you. I
noticed that.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Yeah, you like to wait until you can see that
I'm absorbed in something.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Make sure. And it's like a police radio. Blah blah
blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Mar Wait what No, I just received actually, you know, squirrel,
I just received a message from someone on threads at,
mister mo'kelly saying that I should remind you that you
shouldn't flip off people because you might get shot doing so.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Why I would prefer not to get shot, that's for certain. Okay, Well,
they're just saying they don't flip off anyone.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
You're blaming the victim, though I'm the victim. Initially, I'm
the victim of the rudeness. I'm signaling that I am
not okay with the rudeness with that one finger. Why
would a person compound the rudeness by doing something dangerous
and obnoxious in the car and then shooting me in
the face on top of it?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
It would make you literally the victim, then, yes, a
victim of a gunshot.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
Will that's just downright and polite. I gotta say, look,
I'm just passing it along.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
You can do with it what you will, Oh, I okay,
done just to let you know. So I'll be teaching
classes tomorrow and we're having a belt test on the
twenty eighth, so you can come in and watch the
different students test for the various belts. You can see
it for yourself. It's not like I'm just trying to
hawk my dojong. I'm just answering your questions people who
(30:29):
want to know. It's like I don't talk about it
all the time because it's not a subject for me
to talk about all the time. No, but I'm just
answering your many messages and I appreciate the interest. So
it's songs Hop Keto four three five four Supulvida Boulevard
in Culver City. I'll be teaching tomorrow from nine to noon,
(30:50):
and maybe we'll even get Mark Runner out there at
one point.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Do any of the belt tests involve walking across rice
paper without leaving any footprints?
Speaker 4 (30:57):
No?
Speaker 1 (30:58):
No, well, then count me out. Is that like Kuai
Jung King? Yeah? It is, yes, I thought.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Do you apparently think you're too good to do what
the shellon monks do?
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Well, well, let's just say Kung Fu is Chinese and
Ham Kto's Korean.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
We'll just say that I respect all cultural differences or something.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Yes, they're not they're not exactly this.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Okay, you know, yeah, anything else to mock me, I.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Wouldn't dream of it. I think you know me better
than that. I would never mock a man of your statue.
Ye oh, you said it earlier. What is going to
be the subject of your run A report tonight?
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Today we're going to talk about Speak No Evil.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
It's a brand new thriller with James McAvoy, who you
might recognize from X Men and The m Night Chamel
in movies like Split. You know, it's a movie that
you're never going to see because you don't like thrillers
and horror films.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Well, no, no, no thrillers in horror movies like, for example,
I saw The Split and Glass, and I will watch
thriller slash horror. I'm not going to watch the straight
up horror movies. There has to be an they're angle
to it.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Well, then maybe you'll like this, okay, all right, maybe
you'll think twice about meeting people on the next trip
you take with your significant other.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Well, I don't want you to give it all the
way now never. No no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
