Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI A M six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Now social Facebook gets sticktot.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Viral viral load, viral.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
Load, the viral load.
Speaker 5 (00:36):
KFI, Mo Kelly, Tiffany Hobbs is part one of the
viral load.
Speaker 6 (00:39):
Before we get into the viral load, Mo, I really
want to go back to something you said a little
earlier talking about the signs of a d HD, ways
in which we may identify with that sort of diagnosis,
And you touched on three specific points, the listening to
songs on a loop, the delaying of chores or things
that you need to do, and the lingering in the car.
(01:03):
And for every single one you said, I had my
hands up testifying because each one of them is absolutely,
unequivocally me.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
I do those things.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
And I think maybe radio might be conducive to that
because we get to change topics. For the most part,
every single segment, yeah, is to move on.
Speaker 6 (01:20):
I'm wondering kind of like the you know what comes first,
chicken or egg? I'm like, is it radio that's producing
this in us? Or are we just here doing that
and sharing that with the listeners.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Well, I think radio helps us cope.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Okay, Well, let's cope with something else. How about that?
Speaker 6 (01:34):
If you're like me, you might have been wondering why
there's a shiny, wet baby hippo all over your social
media feeds.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Not over mine what's going on on yours.
Speaker 6 (01:46):
Well, if you look closely enough, you might find evidence
of this baby hippo. Because a little hippo in Thailand
has taken the Internet by storm, becoming a viral sensation
and even and even even inspiring beauty brands like Sephora
to name makeup after this cute little baby hippo.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
So who's the hippo in question.
Speaker 6 (02:11):
Her name is Moo Dangmo Dng, and she's a baby
pygmy hippo at a zoo in eastern Thailand, right outside
of Bangkok. She's had the Internet in a complete choke
hold with what she looks like, her behavior. And the
thing about Moo Dang is that she's not just sitting there,
(02:33):
and she's not just doing kind of what we know
hippos to do, which is kind of just to be there, right,
They're just laying there kind of this lard type situation. Well,
Moo Dang seems to be very tenacious and somewhat violent,
and this little baby hippo has been recorded and shared
all around the internet biting her handlers. Mind you, she
(02:56):
has no teeth, but she's been biting her handlers. She's
been and aggressive towards the people in her cage. She's
been aggressive towards her pod or her pack. She also
hails from a famous hippopotamus family.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
They're famous hippo area.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
They're more famous than you and im, well, that's not
so much. Her mother and father are well known in Thailand,
as is her grandmother, so she comes from a very
well known lineage of hippopotamus, hippopotami, hippos, hippos, and all
of this has turned into again this viral sensation where
(03:32):
memes and all sorts of funny jokes and banter has
been used and attributed to miss Mu Dang celebrity.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
It's all funny games until Moodang turns around and kills
a trainer, and.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
That may very well happen as she gets older, because
she is on her way now. Originally the zoo was
seeing about eight hundred visitors on any given day, but
since MoU Dang has catapult tits to fame, they're now
getting three thousand to four thousand visitors. So the zoo
is trying to figure out how to handle this onslaught
(04:09):
of attention as well. But she's our newest viral sensation.
So now when you see this baby pigmy kind of slick, slimy,
wet hippopotamus on your timeline and you see moo dang,
you'll know what's going on.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
I don't know the differences between the hippos pigmy non pigmy.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
She's little, she's a little one. She's smaller than the
average hippo. That's where the pigmy comes in. Oh, bite size,
bite size, literally, she's biting size. Also, the Utah Jazz
have taken to her and they're calling her a lifestyle icon.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
She's famous, all right.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
Next story, you might have heard of Spirit Halloween.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
How can you miss it?
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Right?
Speaker 6 (04:52):
Spirit Halloween is that store that puts their banner up
seemingly when a business closes, and boom you have Spirit Halloween,
this warehouse of sorts that houses Halloween decor and decorations
and costumes. Well, people often poke fun at Spirit Halloween
because they do pop up seemingly out of nowhere and
(05:13):
you can expect a Spirit Halloween banner when a business closes,
it's kind of in tandem. Well, Saturday Night Live decided
to take Spirit Halloween and to spoof it, as they
do for their opener for this current season. Now, they
talked about Spirit Halloween again being something that pops up
(05:34):
somewhat unexpectedly and just you know, made fun.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Of this business.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
Well, Spirit Halloween did not take too kindly to all
of that poking fun, and they decided to clap back,
And a clapback basically means they had their way with them,
they had their say. And what Spirit Halloween did is
they created a post on x slash Twitter and it's
(06:00):
a packaged fake costume what a costume would come in
the packaging and on the outside of this packaging is
as a description for Saturday Night Live, and they use
the words Saturday Night Live, fiftieth anniversary edition, irrelevant, fifty
(06:21):
year old show, unknown cast members, dated references, and shrinking ratings.
It's the battle we didn't know we would have in
twenty twenty four, but it's certainly the battle we deserve.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Yeah, But se here's the thing.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
SNL has far more writers, far more opportunities to punch
back at Spirit Halloween.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
You know.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
Don't get me wrong, Spirit Halloween landed a punch, But
all that.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Does is escalate the fight.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
It does, and I think even though Spirit Halloween isn't
in the comedy business, to know that they're engaging with
their fan base this way and engaging with other fan
bases just again further accelerates their success. It makes them
more of a household name. If you didn't know who
they were before, you certainly do now if you are
(07:14):
an SNL fan, and you will undoubtedly see a Spirit
Halloween store somewhere close to you, and then you might
be able to link those two things. So they're just
broadening their fan base.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Well, I can't wait because SNL will have the last word,
I am sure of it.
Speaker 6 (07:33):
When we come back, Mo, we're going to talk a
little bit more about Costco and not about the gold
bars or the Platinum bars, not the hot dogs, not
the hot dogs, something way more essential and what is
causing a frenzy at these big warehouse stores as of today.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
That'll be part two of the Viral Load with Tiffany Hobbs.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
It's later with Mo Kelly can't f I am six
forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Now it's sun My Relent Tiffany Live Bucamilata with moo Kelly.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
You'll talk about the tough.
Speaker 7 (08:20):
This on social media.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Littlevie Relone with Tiffany hups.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
This part two of the viral load. Here on Later
with mo Kelly.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio Apptivity Hawks take it away.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
This is why media literacy is so very important. And
media literacy is your ability to discern and decipher between
fact and fiction Online. There's a lot of fiction online
passing off as fact. And this next story has to
do with just that Americans are once again panic buying
(08:59):
toilet paper. Huh, it's not due to COVID, it's not
even due to the recent hurricanes. Instead, big box warehouse
stores like Costco, which you just spoke about, are not
only seeing their golden platinum bars leaving the shelves, but
they're also seeing an influx of customers who are wiping
(09:22):
them out for their toilet.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Tissueshit, I got that jail.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
You see what I did there?
Speaker 6 (09:29):
Well, it's all rooted and people posting online about how
their local stores are low or low on or out
of this toilet paper because of the dock workers strike
on the East Coast. So the massive East Coast doc
excuse me, doc workers strike is being perceived as resulting
(09:51):
in shortages at these big box stores like Costco. People
are posting online, Hey this store is out. That goes
viral to share thousands of times, or hey, hurry up
and get over here because I heard that this store
is running low or they're offering specials, or whatever the
(10:12):
posting might be. It's being shared far and wide. And
while this is country wide. While stores like Costco are
seeing this happening across the entirety of the United States,
it seems to be most impactful here on the West Coast,
here in California specifically, and in Nevada, and even more
(10:33):
specifically Las Vegas, which actually did a whole write up
about how Las Vegans are panic buying toilet paper.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
So are you sure it's not Las Vegans.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
Las vegan I doubt with all that meat they have there, right,
thank you, that's too easy. So the Retail Association of
Nevada specifically did release a quote by the senior Vice
President who says, in fact, those particular actions are going
to be what causes more of a disruption to the
supply chain then the long shoreman strike. At this point,
(11:08):
he goes on to say that I think for some folks,
COVID nineteen is still in our short term memory. But
this is an example of the fact that you can't
believe everything you read or hear online. Specifically, do your research,
cross check, fact check. I know that may not be
(11:28):
popular right now, but make sure that you are doing
your due diligence to see if these stories are in
fact true, because if not, you might find yourself in
line for toilet paper thinking that you're not going to
be able to have any. And I made the mistake, mo,
because I also fell victim to this. I went to
Target tonight. I went and bought dishwasher pods so I
(11:48):
could do the three dishes or wash them and then
put them in the dishwasher.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
I was out of pods.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
I've been sitting on this for a day now meaning
to do it. And I also bought toilet paper just
in case my hind He's clean and a good quality
at that, because I remember what happened even though the
rumors were false during COVID. You're just hedging your bet,
just hedging my bet and my butt. Oh, well done,
there you go, oh Stefan steph Okay, finally I get one.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
All right.
Speaker 6 (12:17):
The final story and we might have time for a
fifth one, but maybe not. Has to do with a
viral video of a San Francisco woman who was subjected
to alleged harassment by two men while she sat inside
of one of those way Mo driver.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait,
someone was assaulted in a way Mo.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Is that what you're getting ready to tell us?
Speaker 6 (12:40):
Not only one person, but a total of at least five.
There's one leading this story, and I have two more
embedded in.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
The c You don't know, but Twala is in the
pocket or they're in his pocket.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Oh I've heard him talking about okay, and he said.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
Nothing at bet ever happens with Waymo except they're driving
in circles in her honking at each other. She said,
we would her, we would have heard if something bad happened.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Well, are you getting ready to tell us?
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Oh? Man, am I getting ready to tell you?
Speaker 7 (13:05):
So?
Speaker 6 (13:06):
In the first story, there's a twenty eight year old
woman who's going by the name Amina V. She was
riding in a Waymos self driving car this past Saturday
when she was stopped at a red light. The car
just stopped as it does to observe traffic laws, and
two guys got in front of the car and started
to gesture towards her and trying to, you know, get
(13:27):
her attention. They're kind of miming for her phone number,
and she is frantically trying to get them out of
the way because the car won't move when there's something
in its path, when it's a human or another car,
it's not going anywhere. So these men were they weren't
necessarily aggressive, they didn't get close to her cat calling.
(13:49):
She's again yelling at them, they're yelling back. They eventually
do move. She does file a complaint with Waymo. They
offered her one free.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
Ride for all the negative presents, the negatives, all the
stories are going to be attached to WEIMO. Okay, they're SEO.
The search engine optimization is going to go through the
roof because of a negative story. And they could have
put their in their imprint on a story by just
making them give her free Weimo for.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
A month or something something more than that.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
But they did go on to explain that they equipped
their cars kind of with a panic button type of
situation where you can push the button and it will
alert authorities and allow you to have kind of that
comfort of knowing that someone's on the way to help you.
That story of the three is the least defensive.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Probably.
Speaker 6 (14:39):
The next story also took place in San Francisco where
a few girls went on a girl's trip. This is
recent as well, and someone attempted to cover the sensors
of the Weimo car.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Yes, and that car.
Speaker 6 (14:57):
Was then jumped on by these They started attacking the car,
spray painting it. Two women in that vehicle captured it
on their phones and uploaded it to TikTok this previous Monday.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
That's not even the worst. There was one final.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Story don't tell me he has to do with Weymo.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
That also happened with Weamo.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
That deals with another writer who was trapped in the
car when someone jumped on the hood take the studio
in cart it spray painting the Waimo and the people
couldn't get away.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
Someone from Waimo must have called to Wall and said,
get in the studio now and earn your money.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
He was by so fast. Look, I just.
Speaker 8 (15:46):
Want to make sure that these stories have to do
with the thing that I say is the biggest problem,
and that's people.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
These are people abusing Waymo.
Speaker 8 (15:57):
All you have heard is reports on grow to esque
men abusing Waymo spray painting them, jeering and leering and
harassing women. WAMO has a panic button for that purpose,
to say, hey, I'm in trouble, please.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Alert, Please alert.
Speaker 8 (16:13):
A person would have known to drive away, you know what, No,
because people would have probably run them over, because that's
how cruel and crass and merciless we.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Are supposed to just dragging a grand I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 8 (16:25):
So so it's Waymo's fault that these men, these these
hoodlums are spray painting their cars.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Should have had better programming to have Oh you you are.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
If I was a victim blaming.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
Look, if Stephan were to pick pick me up in
an uber and someone started, uh, spray painting in the car,
I can trust that Stepan can get us out of there.
Speaker 8 (16:48):
You can't trust that Stephan may freak out and jump
out of the car and leave you sitting in the
back seat, not able to do anything.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
You know what.
Speaker 8 (16:57):
The lady was safe. She eventually got to where she
was going. The men, the men left, correct. Okay, so
so so this has nothing to do with wayme O.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Rest your case. Rest of your case. Yeah, you're okay,
you get paid regardless, You're on retainer. Got really hot
in here, felt uncomfortable. That's it for the viral load.
I'm getting out of here.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
No, no, no, we got we got thirty seconds. Oh oh,
what happened to Kevin Sorbo? Okay, I'm just curious what
happened to Kevin Sorbo.
Speaker 6 (17:30):
Kevin Sorbo was on Twitter and he posted, He's on
Twitter a lot Kevin Sorbo quote. The actor posted that
the reason he left Hollywood was due to a number
of things, including the quote perverts in Hollywood. Now, what
happened was the Internet didn't like that a lot of
(17:51):
people work in Hollywood.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
He left because of the perverts.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
He left because of the quote perverts in Hollywood.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Not because he couldn't get a job, he didn't have
enough and others.
Speaker 6 (18:01):
Of course, when you've put that out online, you're gonna
have people who come back with facts and they did,
and they caught them all sorts of things, including a liar.
But what they then renamed Kevin sorbo as is now
dollar store.
Speaker 7 (18:15):
Door, dollar Store. It is one of the great pleasures
to seek. Evin Sorbo get curb stumped almost every day
on social media.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Dollar He's not.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
Self aware at all the things that he says. I
don't care whether you agree with him or not. He
I'm sorry, Kevin, I hope you're listening right now. You're
not very bright dollar store.
Speaker 7 (18:38):
No. Whatever his other talents may have been, the the
ersatz hercules sat not the brightest bulb in the in
the whole room like his acules. But didn't he say pedos?
I thought I saw the original tweet.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Yeah, I think he said perverbs. But still same thing.
Speaker 7 (18:58):
Oh yeah, six of one, half a dozen of the
other pe do's. But boy, every time he's the material
is such quality, high quality. When people swarm on him
for saying something dumb, it's very entertaining.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
After a while, I began to think it was a
satire profile, because how many times can someone get self owned?
Speaker 3 (19:19):
How many times can someone say something that is.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
Immediately turned around and used to mock him because they're
his words.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
What he said.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
I don't know how many times, and it happens more
often than not.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
It's a real Dunning Krueger case here. He has no
idea how unintelligent he may appear to other people, and
he just he lets it fly.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
But we know, we know, and that's enough.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Yes, you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
Last night, we told you about the passing of actor
John Amos. That was last night, as in October first,
And if you were like me, you noticed that in
the stories that were released to the media it was
indicated that John Amos had passed on August twenty first,
Whereas it's not necessarily unusual for a celebrity or someone
(20:14):
to pass and that information not be given to the
public immediately, Forty five days is a long time. It's
an especially long time when you have immediate family members
like his daughter, who did not know and found out
like you and me in the media. Forty five days later,
(20:39):
Shannon Amos, daughter said this yesterday quote, I am without words.
Our family has received the heartbreaking news that my dad,
John Allen Amos Junior, transitioned on August twenty first, we
are devastated and left with many questions about how this
happened forty five days ago, learning about it through the
(21:01):
media like so many of you. And to give some context,
there were allegations of elder abuse or mistreatment by Casey Amos,
John Amos's son, and when you hear that against the
(21:22):
backdrop of this, it creates more questions than actual answers.
And I said this yesterday. I identified as with John
Amos as like he was like a surrogate father in
that he growing up watching good Times. He was very
much like my father in terms of age. They were
only a month apart, so they were like the same
(21:45):
guy in my mind, And seeing John Amos pass away,
it reminds me of my father to think if I
were in Shannon Amos's shoes, to think that I would
not know that my father passed away for forty five
days and my own sibling did not tell me, and
(22:08):
there were already questions of mistreatment and elder abuse prior
to the passing. Well, I don't know if that misunderstanding
can be avoided, and I don't know if that could
ever be fixed. I don't know if that could ever
be repaired and for what I understand now. The family
has come out with a more comprehensive statement.
Speaker 6 (22:28):
Yes led by the daughter Shannon Amos. A collective family
statement was released yesterday, and I will read a couple
paragraphs from it.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
It is quite long.
Speaker 6 (22:38):
It starts with it is with profound sadness and distress
that we must share the circumstances surrounding our father's passing.
He was a loving man who brought light into the
lives of many. However, our family only learned of his
death today through media reports, only to discover he actually
passed away forty five days ago. Shockingly, we were not notified,
(23:00):
nor were any family members informed. This tragic news has
left us in shock and heartache. We do not have
a death certificate, nor do we know where or why
he died, but we know he was suffering from congestive
heart failure and dementia. We fear he was likely cremated
to avoid any potential investigation into the conditions surrounding his
(23:23):
final days. The letter goes on to say that they're
suspicious of the son Casey Amos, because Casey was the
last known caretaker of John Amos. It then goes on
to basically allege of that elder abuse and saying that
they believe that there may have been misappropriation of a
(23:45):
will assets and that they do feel that the cremation
in fact was done so that any potential investigation could
be thwarted. It's a very damn statement and it is
signed by Shannon Amos, her daughter, multiple grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins,
(24:10):
and quite a few other family members.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
There is no reason, no legitimate reason to cremate a
family member not involve the rest of the family. We're
not talking about extended family. You know that you may
not be in touch with who have been in consistent
contact with John Amos and were aggressively pursuing updates on
(24:35):
his care, on his health, on his status, and you
didn't tell them about either his passing or the subsequent cremation.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Yeah, I would have to.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
A reasonable person would have to assume this is to
cover up his status.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
Shannon also says that the family was not informed of
John Amos's passing by any medical professional or any other
law enforcement authorities. They're questioning why that happened, and they
do allege that the way in which the brother Casey's
mother passed away, is eerily similar to what's going on
(25:15):
with John Amos. So they're connecting the two and saying
that they believe emphatically that foul play is at hand,
especially given the involvement of two specific individuals, one Eugene
Brummer and another Belinda Foster, who claimed to both have
been John spokespeople. So these names were given by Shannon Amos,
(25:40):
it's asserted in this collective letter.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Clearly this is only the beginning of what's going to
happen there.
Speaker 5 (25:46):
I can't say for certain whether there will be a
criminal investigation. I hope this leads to a criminal investigation.
It's not like that John Amos was not a well
known individual. There are some questions which are going to
have to be answered as far as how he died,
(26:06):
where he died, circumstances surrounding it, Can any of it
be corroborated, Who was the last person to speak with them,
Were there any medical professionals involved any step of the way.
If he had congestive heart failure, was he in constant
contact with a primary care physician and a specialist? These
are all the questions that I would want to know,
(26:27):
because if there aren't people who can corroborate casey Amos's story,
then there need to be charges. It's Later with Mo
Kelly k IF I AM six forty. We're live everywhere
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
Before we get out of here. It's not uncommon that
I'll ask. I'll go around the room and ask what
people are watching. I'll start off, I just saw the
Apple TV movie Wolf's with Brad Pitt and George Clooney.
The budget two hundred million dollars, and I saw that
(27:07):
movie and I was looking for one hundred and eighty
five million of it because there's no special effects, there's
no cgi, there are no stunts, and I'm thinking for
a two hundred million dollar movie, it's probably an epic
adventure across five continents, green screen everywhere, not a lick.
Speaker 8 (27:25):
No, isn't the first half hour all in one room.
It's in one room. They were low lighting. We don't
where the money went. Okay, serious, really, I'm not exaggerating.
One room, one room, and what I've read George Clooney
and Brad Pitt each got thirty five million, But still
that's one hundred and thirty million unaccounted for.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
As far as cinematography and over.
Speaker 7 (27:47):
And above the look of the movie, it's a bit
of a snoozer.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
Well, I didn't hate it if in other words, if
I didn't know the budget and it was just on TV,
because I don't think it was ever meant for a
theatrical It was fine.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Was it problematic as far as plot points?
Speaker 5 (28:04):
Yeah, And for those who don't know, it is set
within the universe of pulp fiction. If you've seen pulp fiction,
there is a thread which is followed from pulp fiction
which sets up what George Clooney and Brad Pitt's character
do and how they come together.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
That's all I'm going to say.
Speaker 7 (28:23):
Well, can I just for clarsification, are they actually in
that universe and reference characters? But I thought the only
similarity was that there are a couple of cleaners like
Harvey Kitel. Well, if you want to just give it away, yeah, sure,
well no, that's established right off the bat. Well, but
the whole point is just like Harvey Kytel, he was
a wolf that was explicit in pulp fiction. He's mister
(28:46):
Wolf in pulp fiction, right. But my question is I
didn't notice. Do they actually establish that it's in the
Tarantino universe?
Speaker 5 (28:54):
No, no, no, no, because no, they probably have to pay
Quentin Tarantino a lot of money. But that is the
whole genesis of this movie. Okay, so maybe there were
more Easter eggs. I didn't see them, how about that.
But it wasn't bad. But it just seemed like it
was a movie about two cleaners who liked the movie
(29:16):
Oceans eleven a lot. The verbal interplay was exactly like
the two characters and Oceans eleven.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
The jokes, the inn window, the back and forth.
Speaker 5 (29:26):
It was just like, we needed to get another guy
who need one more, need one more. It was just
like Ocean's eleven and you saw it. It's like, okay,
it's Oceans eleven set in a different location.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
It was fine.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
I think the movie's like an hour and forty minutes
or whatever. Not believable, but it's okay. You know, it's
you have to suspend your disbelief as you do. But
I just couldn't get past a two hundred million. I
didn't feel I wasted my time, but it wasn't great.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Wasn't mad at the end. It was a little anti
climactic for me.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
If you've seen it, it doesn't really finish the story
as far as I'm concerned. It tells you that there's
more story to be told, and I don't like movies
like that. Give me a clear and concise ending. And
what they gave us was a realization at the end
which would lead to a part two.
Speaker 7 (30:23):
I think part one's plenty for two hundred million. Yeah,
it wasn't an offensively bad movie, but there was just
no reason for it to exist. It was just if
you like those kids, and I like Clooney and Pitt,
I like those Oceans movies, but it's just like the
equivalent of a murder. She wrote, Oh, here's these people
that we like from this generation of actors that we like,
just kind of doing something familiar that we enjoy that
(30:45):
has very little artistic merit whatsoever.
Speaker 8 (30:49):
You saw it, right, Yeah? I bailed before the end though. Okay,
all right, I was going to ask you about the end.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
It felt very like a movie that Robert Redford and
Paul Newman turned down.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Yeah, that's a good way of looking.
Speaker 5 (31:02):
At it, because it seemed like a movie that they
would do in their heyday. But Pitt and Clody, God
love them, they're not Newman and Redford, that's all.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
I think.
Speaker 7 (31:14):
They kind of wish they were our generations Newman and Redford,
but it's just not there. And I don't have anything
against him, but it just seemed kind of like a
lazy effort from start to finish.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
No, it was lazy. It was lazy. It's definitely lazy.
I'm just saying.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
If I saw it in theaters, I would have been
very mad. I was at home. I had time watching
Apple TV. It passed the time I think it. You
know Apple TV. I think it's nine to ninety nine
a month. It was fine as part of my subscription.
I didn't have to go out of my way. I
didn't have to give anything more than my time. It
was enough. It's Clooney and Pit. I've watched most of
their stuff, so that's okay. Mark, What are you watching?
Speaker 3 (31:51):
Well?
Speaker 7 (31:51):
I watched Apartment seven A, which is the movie that
is the prequel to Rosemary's Baby, So instead of Rosemary's Baby,
it's like Rosemary, He's predecessor in the Apartment and boy,
talk about a movie with no reason to exist. It's
got I think Diane Weist does a pretty good imitation
of the Ruth Gordon old Lady character, the neighbor who
(32:14):
and the star of the movie is the young lady
from Ozark, Julia Garner. Oh, she's great, She's terrific, and
you kind of can't take your eyes off her. She
seems like a child to me, and I guess that's
how old we are. She's really interesting to watch. But
the movie itself, you're left with the impression that these
guys just didn't get the original at all. There's like
(32:37):
a dream dance sequence that made me wonder, what in
the hell is this. It's kind of like the guy
who did the last guy who did an Exorcist movie.
It's like, did you even understand what you watched the
first time? Get out of my face with this stuff.
Speaker 5 (32:50):
But these are filmmakers not from that generation, trying to
tell more of a story, not from their generation.
Speaker 7 (32:56):
I mean, on the one hand, I complain about people
kind of drip mining every reference and prequel idea and
that kind of like the Solo movie whatever. I've done
that kind of stuff myself as a writer, and I
really put everything I had into it. To make the
stuff canonical, but you got to be careful with that stuff.
I thought this was just a huge fumble and a
(33:16):
waste of everybody's time, no reason to exist whatsoever. Apartment
seven A on Paramount plus Tiffany very quickly sure.
Speaker 6 (33:23):
I'm watching or watched the Will and Harper documentary on Netflix.
It's about Will Ferrell and his really good friend SNL
writer who comes out as transgender, and they take a
road trip across the country to revisit places that Harper
went when she was a he and it tests their friendship.
Very moving, definitely not a waste of time. It's called
(33:45):
Will and Harper so on Netflix. Kind of a slapstick
buddy comedy at certain points and again a very emotionally
dinse documentary at others.
Speaker 5 (33:55):
It's good, Stephan, Are you watching anything, Yeah, I just
watched Couture Vases Last Stand Up.
Speaker 9 (34:02):
Really good, really funny. Definitely not PC so if you're
hoping did stay away, but it was a lot of fun.
He had a lot of creative jokes. And I also
watched that documentary Hell Camp about the To Help Trouble
tea like rehabilitation in the middle of the desert that
(34:22):
one's a little heavy, but it's really interesting.
Speaker 5 (34:25):
Well, hopefully someone got some good recommendation of something to
watch in the meantime. We will see you tomorrow. K
IF I am six forty. We're live everywhere in the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (34:36):
What you need to know and when you need to
know it.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
K F I'm k OST
Speaker 5 (34:42):
HD two, Los Angeles, Orange County, everywhere on the radio.
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI A M six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Now social Facebook gets sticktot.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Viral viral load, viral.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
Load, the viral load.
Speaker 5 (00:36):
KFI, Mo Kelly, Tiffany Hobbs is part one of the
viral load.
Speaker 6 (00:39):
Before we get into the viral load, Mo, I really
want to go back to something you said a little
earlier talking about the signs of a d HD, ways
in which we may identify with that sort of diagnosis,
And you touched on three specific points, the listening to
songs on a loop, the delaying of chores or things
that you need to do, and the lingering in the car.
(01:03):
And for every single one you said, I had my
hands up testifying because each one of them is absolutely,
unequivocally me.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
I do those things.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
And I think maybe radio might be conducive to that
because we get to change topics. For the most part,
every single segment, yeah, is to move on.
Speaker 6 (01:20):
I'm wondering kind of like the you know what comes first,
chicken or egg? I'm like, is it radio that's producing
this in us? Or are we just here doing that
and sharing that with the listeners.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Well, I think radio helps us cope.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Okay, Well, let's cope with something else. How about that?
Speaker 6 (01:34):
If you're like me, you might have been wondering why
there's a shiny, wet baby hippo all over your social
media feeds.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Not over mine what's going on on yours.
Speaker 6 (01:46):
Well, if you look closely enough, you might find evidence
of this baby hippo. Because a little hippo in Thailand
has taken the Internet by storm, becoming a viral sensation
and even and even even inspiring beauty brands like Sephora
to name makeup after this cute little baby hippo.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
So who's the hippo in question.
Speaker 6 (02:11):
Her name is Moo Dangmo Dng, and she's a baby
pygmy hippo at a zoo in eastern Thailand, right outside
of Bangkok. She's had the Internet in a complete choke
hold with what she looks like, her behavior. And the
thing about Moo Dang is that she's not just sitting there,
(02:33):
and she's not just doing kind of what we know
hippos to do, which is kind of just to be there, right,
They're just laying there kind of this lard type situation. Well,
Moo Dang seems to be very tenacious and somewhat violent,
and this little baby hippo has been recorded and shared
all around the internet biting her handlers. Mind you, she
(02:56):
has no teeth, but she's been biting her handlers. She's
been and aggressive towards the people in her cage. She's
been aggressive towards her pod or her pack. She also
hails from a famous hippopotamus family.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
They're famous hippo area.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
They're more famous than you and im, well, that's not
so much. Her mother and father are well known in Thailand,
as is her grandmother, so she comes from a very
well known lineage of hippopotamus, hippopotami, hippos, hippos, and all
of this has turned into again this viral sensation where
(03:32):
memes and all sorts of funny jokes and banter has
been used and attributed to miss Mu Dang celebrity.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
It's all funny games until Moodang turns around and kills
a trainer, and.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
That may very well happen as she gets older, because
she is on her way now. Originally the zoo was
seeing about eight hundred visitors on any given day, but
since MoU Dang has catapult tits to fame, they're now
getting three thousand to four thousand visitors. So the zoo
is trying to figure out how to handle this onslaught
(04:09):
of attention as well. But she's our newest viral sensation.
So now when you see this baby pigmy kind of slick, slimy,
wet hippopotamus on your timeline and you see moo dang,
you'll know what's going on.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
I don't know the differences between the hippos pigmy non pigmy.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
She's little, she's a little one. She's smaller than the
average hippo. That's where the pigmy comes in. Oh, bite size,
bite size, literally, she's biting size. Also, the Utah Jazz
have taken to her and they're calling her a lifestyle icon.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
She's famous, all right.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
Next story, you might have heard of Spirit Halloween.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
How can you miss it?
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Right?
Speaker 6 (04:52):
Spirit Halloween is that store that puts their banner up
seemingly when a business closes, and boom you have Spirit Halloween,
this warehouse of sorts that houses Halloween decor and decorations
and costumes. Well, people often poke fun at Spirit Halloween
because they do pop up seemingly out of nowhere and
(05:13):
you can expect a Spirit Halloween banner when a business closes,
it's kind of in tandem. Well, Saturday Night Live decided
to take Spirit Halloween and to spoof it, as they
do for their opener for this current season. Now, they
talked about Spirit Halloween again being something that pops up
(05:34):
somewhat unexpectedly and just you know, made fun.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Of this business.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
Well, Spirit Halloween did not take too kindly to all
of that poking fun, and they decided to clap back,
And a clapback basically means they had their way with them,
they had their say. And what Spirit Halloween did is
they created a post on x slash Twitter and it's
(06:00):
a packaged fake costume what a costume would come in
the packaging and on the outside of this packaging is
as a description for Saturday Night Live, and they use
the words Saturday Night Live, fiftieth anniversary edition, irrelevant, fifty
(06:21):
year old show, unknown cast members, dated references, and shrinking ratings.
It's the battle we didn't know we would have in
twenty twenty four, but it's certainly the battle we deserve.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Yeah, But se here's the thing.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
SNL has far more writers, far more opportunities to punch
back at Spirit Halloween.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
You know.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
Don't get me wrong, Spirit Halloween landed a punch, But
all that.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Does is escalate the fight.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
It does, and I think even though Spirit Halloween isn't
in the comedy business, to know that they're engaging with
their fan base this way and engaging with other fan
bases just again further accelerates their success. It makes them
more of a household name. If you didn't know who
they were before, you certainly do now if you are
(07:14):
an SNL fan, and you will undoubtedly see a Spirit
Halloween store somewhere close to you, and then you might
be able to link those two things. So they're just
broadening their fan base.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Well, I can't wait because SNL will have the last word,
I am sure of it.
Speaker 6 (07:33):
When we come back, Mo, we're going to talk a
little bit more about Costco and not about the gold
bars or the Platinum bars, not the hot dogs, not
the hot dogs, something way more essential and what is
causing a frenzy at these big warehouse stores as of today.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
That'll be part two of the Viral Load with Tiffany Hobbs.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
It's later with Mo Kelly can't f I am six
forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Now it's sun My Relent Tiffany Live Bucamilata with moo Kelly.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
You'll talk about the tough.
Speaker 7 (08:20):
This on social media.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Littlevie Relone with Tiffany hups.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
This part two of the viral load. Here on Later
with mo Kelly.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio Apptivity Hawks take it away.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
This is why media literacy is so very important. And
media literacy is your ability to discern and decipher between
fact and fiction Online. There's a lot of fiction online
passing off as fact. And this next story has to
do with just that Americans are once again panic buying
(08:59):
toilet paper. Huh, it's not due to COVID, it's not
even due to the recent hurricanes. Instead, big box warehouse
stores like Costco, which you just spoke about, are not
only seeing their golden platinum bars leaving the shelves, but
they're also seeing an influx of customers who are wiping
(09:22):
them out for their toilet.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Tissueshit, I got that jail.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
You see what I did there?
Speaker 6 (09:29):
Well, it's all rooted and people posting online about how
their local stores are low or low on or out
of this toilet paper because of the dock workers strike
on the East Coast. So the massive East Coast doc
excuse me, doc workers strike is being perceived as resulting
(09:51):
in shortages at these big box stores like Costco. People
are posting online, Hey this store is out. That goes
viral to share thousands of times, or hey, hurry up
and get over here because I heard that this store
is running low or they're offering specials, or whatever the
(10:12):
posting might be. It's being shared far and wide. And
while this is country wide. While stores like Costco are
seeing this happening across the entirety of the United States,
it seems to be most impactful here on the West Coast,
here in California specifically, and in Nevada, and even more
(10:33):
specifically Las Vegas, which actually did a whole write up
about how Las Vegans are panic buying toilet paper.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
So are you sure it's not Las Vegans.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
Las vegan I doubt with all that meat they have there, right,
thank you, that's too easy. So the Retail Association of
Nevada specifically did release a quote by the senior Vice
President who says, in fact, those particular actions are going
to be what causes more of a disruption to the
supply chain then the long shoreman strike. At this point,
(11:08):
he goes on to say that I think for some folks,
COVID nineteen is still in our short term memory. But
this is an example of the fact that you can't
believe everything you read or hear online. Specifically, do your research,
cross check, fact check. I know that may not be
(11:28):
popular right now, but make sure that you are doing
your due diligence to see if these stories are in
fact true, because if not, you might find yourself in
line for toilet paper thinking that you're not going to
be able to have any. And I made the mistake, mo,
because I also fell victim to this. I went to
Target tonight. I went and bought dishwasher pods so I
(11:48):
could do the three dishes or wash them and then
put them in the dishwasher.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
I was out of pods.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
I've been sitting on this for a day now meaning
to do it. And I also bought toilet paper just
in case my hind He's clean and a good quality
at that, because I remember what happened even though the
rumors were false during COVID. You're just hedging your bet,
just hedging my bet and my butt. Oh, well done,
there you go, oh Stefan steph Okay, finally I get one.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
All right.
Speaker 6 (12:17):
The final story and we might have time for a
fifth one, but maybe not. Has to do with a
viral video of a San Francisco woman who was subjected
to alleged harassment by two men while she sat inside
of one of those way Mo driver.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait,
someone was assaulted in a way Mo.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Is that what you're getting ready to tell us?
Speaker 6 (12:40):
Not only one person, but a total of at least five.
There's one leading this story, and I have two more
embedded in.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
The c You don't know, but Twala is in the
pocket or they're in his pocket.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Oh I've heard him talking about okay, and he said.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
Nothing at bet ever happens with Waymo except they're driving
in circles in her honking at each other. She said,
we would her, we would have heard if something bad happened.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Well, are you getting ready to tell us?
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Oh? Man, am I getting ready to tell you?
Speaker 7 (13:05):
So?
Speaker 6 (13:06):
In the first story, there's a twenty eight year old
woman who's going by the name Amina V. She was
riding in a Waymos self driving car this past Saturday
when she was stopped at a red light. The car
just stopped as it does to observe traffic laws, and
two guys got in front of the car and started
to gesture towards her and trying to, you know, get
(13:27):
her attention. They're kind of miming for her phone number,
and she is frantically trying to get them out of
the way because the car won't move when there's something
in its path, when it's a human or another car,
it's not going anywhere. So these men were they weren't
necessarily aggressive, they didn't get close to her cat calling.
(13:49):
She's again yelling at them, they're yelling back. They eventually
do move. She does file a complaint with Waymo. They
offered her one free.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
Ride for all the negative presents, the negatives, all the
stories are going to be attached to WEIMO. Okay, they're SEO.
The search engine optimization is going to go through the
roof because of a negative story. And they could have
put their in their imprint on a story by just
making them give her free Weimo for.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
A month or something something more than that.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
But they did go on to explain that they equipped
their cars kind of with a panic button type of
situation where you can push the button and it will
alert authorities and allow you to have kind of that
comfort of knowing that someone's on the way to help you.
That story of the three is the least defensive.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Probably.
Speaker 6 (14:39):
The next story also took place in San Francisco where
a few girls went on a girl's trip. This is
recent as well, and someone attempted to cover the sensors
of the Weimo car.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Yes, and that car.
Speaker 6 (14:57):
Was then jumped on by these They started attacking the car,
spray painting it. Two women in that vehicle captured it
on their phones and uploaded it to TikTok this previous Monday.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
That's not even the worst. There was one final.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Story don't tell me he has to do with Weymo.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
That also happened with Weamo.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
That deals with another writer who was trapped in the
car when someone jumped on the hood take the studio
in cart it spray painting the Waimo and the people
couldn't get away.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
Someone from Waimo must have called to Wall and said,
get in the studio now and earn your money.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
He was by so fast. Look, I just.
Speaker 8 (15:46):
Want to make sure that these stories have to do
with the thing that I say is the biggest problem,
and that's people.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
These are people abusing Waymo.
Speaker 8 (15:57):
All you have heard is reports on grow to esque
men abusing Waymo spray painting them, jeering and leering and
harassing women. WAMO has a panic button for that purpose,
to say, hey, I'm in trouble, please.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Alert, Please alert.
Speaker 8 (16:13):
A person would have known to drive away, you know what, No,
because people would have probably run them over, because that's
how cruel and crass and merciless we.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Are supposed to just dragging a grand I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 8 (16:25):
So so it's Waymo's fault that these men, these these
hoodlums are spray painting their cars.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Should have had better programming to have Oh you you are.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
If I was a victim blaming.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
Look, if Stephan were to pick pick me up in
an uber and someone started, uh, spray painting in the car,
I can trust that Stepan can get us out of there.
Speaker 8 (16:48):
You can't trust that Stephan may freak out and jump
out of the car and leave you sitting in the
back seat, not able to do anything.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
You know what.
Speaker 8 (16:57):
The lady was safe. She eventually got to where she
was going. The men, the men left, correct. Okay, so
so so this has nothing to do with wayme O.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Rest your case. Rest of your case. Yeah, you're okay,
you get paid regardless, You're on retainer. Got really hot
in here, felt uncomfortable. That's it for the viral load.
I'm getting out of here.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
No, no, no, we got we got thirty seconds. Oh oh,
what happened to Kevin Sorbo? Okay, I'm just curious what
happened to Kevin Sorbo.
Speaker 6 (17:30):
Kevin Sorbo was on Twitter and he posted, He's on
Twitter a lot Kevin Sorbo quote. The actor posted that
the reason he left Hollywood was due to a number
of things, including the quote perverts in Hollywood. Now, what
happened was the Internet didn't like that a lot of
(17:51):
people work in Hollywood.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
He left because of the perverts.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
He left because of the quote perverts in Hollywood.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Not because he couldn't get a job, he didn't have
enough and others.
Speaker 6 (18:01):
Of course, when you've put that out online, you're gonna
have people who come back with facts and they did,
and they caught them all sorts of things, including a liar.
But what they then renamed Kevin sorbo as is now
dollar store.
Speaker 7 (18:15):
Door, dollar Store. It is one of the great pleasures
to seek. Evin Sorbo get curb stumped almost every day
on social media.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Dollar He's not.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
Self aware at all the things that he says. I
don't care whether you agree with him or not. He
I'm sorry, Kevin, I hope you're listening right now. You're
not very bright dollar store.
Speaker 7 (18:38):
No. Whatever his other talents may have been, the the
ersatz hercules sat not the brightest bulb in the in
the whole room like his acules. But didn't he say pedos?
I thought I saw the original tweet.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Yeah, I think he said perverbs. But still same thing.
Speaker 7 (18:58):
Oh yeah, six of one, half a dozen of the
other pe do's. But boy, every time he's the material
is such quality, high quality. When people swarm on him
for saying something dumb, it's very entertaining.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
After a while, I began to think it was a
satire profile, because how many times can someone get self owned?
Speaker 3 (19:19):
How many times can someone say something that is.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
Immediately turned around and used to mock him because they're
his words.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
What he said.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
I don't know how many times, and it happens more
often than not.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
It's a real Dunning Krueger case here. He has no
idea how unintelligent he may appear to other people, and
he just he lets it fly.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
But we know, we know, and that's enough.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Yes, you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
Last night, we told you about the passing of actor
John Amos. That was last night, as in October first,
And if you were like me, you noticed that in
the stories that were released to the media it was
indicated that John Amos had passed on August twenty first,
Whereas it's not necessarily unusual for a celebrity or someone
(20:14):
to pass and that information not be given to the
public immediately, Forty five days is a long time. It's
an especially long time when you have immediate family members
like his daughter, who did not know and found out
like you and me in the media. Forty five days later,
(20:39):
Shannon Amos, daughter said this yesterday quote, I am without words.
Our family has received the heartbreaking news that my dad,
John Allen Amos Junior, transitioned on August twenty first, we
are devastated and left with many questions about how this
happened forty five days ago, learning about it through the
(21:01):
media like so many of you. And to give some context,
there were allegations of elder abuse or mistreatment by Casey Amos,
John Amos's son, and when you hear that against the
(21:22):
backdrop of this, it creates more questions than actual answers.
And I said this yesterday. I identified as with John
Amos as like he was like a surrogate father in
that he growing up watching good Times. He was very
much like my father in terms of age. They were
only a month apart, so they were like the same
(21:45):
guy in my mind, And seeing John Amos pass away,
it reminds me of my father to think if I
were in Shannon Amos's shoes, to think that I would
not know that my father passed away for forty five
days and my own sibling did not tell me, and
(22:08):
there were already questions of mistreatment and elder abuse prior
to the passing. Well, I don't know if that misunderstanding
can be avoided, and I don't know if that could
ever be fixed. I don't know if that could ever
be repaired and for what I understand now. The family
has come out with a more comprehensive statement.
Speaker 6 (22:28):
Yes led by the daughter Shannon Amos. A collective family
statement was released yesterday, and I will read a couple
paragraphs from it.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
It is quite long.
Speaker 6 (22:38):
It starts with it is with profound sadness and distress
that we must share the circumstances surrounding our father's passing.
He was a loving man who brought light into the
lives of many. However, our family only learned of his
death today through media reports, only to discover he actually
passed away forty five days ago. Shockingly, we were not notified,
(23:00):
nor were any family members informed. This tragic news has
left us in shock and heartache. We do not have
a death certificate, nor do we know where or why
he died, but we know he was suffering from congestive
heart failure and dementia. We fear he was likely cremated
to avoid any potential investigation into the conditions surrounding his
(23:23):
final days. The letter goes on to say that they're
suspicious of the son Casey Amos, because Casey was the
last known caretaker of John Amos. It then goes on
to basically allege of that elder abuse and saying that
they believe that there may have been misappropriation of a
(23:45):
will assets and that they do feel that the cremation
in fact was done so that any potential investigation could
be thwarted. It's a very damn statement and it is
signed by Shannon Amos, her daughter, multiple grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins,
(24:10):
and quite a few other family members.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
There is no reason, no legitimate reason to cremate a
family member not involve the rest of the family. We're
not talking about extended family. You know that you may
not be in touch with who have been in consistent
contact with John Amos and were aggressively pursuing updates on
(24:35):
his care, on his health, on his status, and you
didn't tell them about either his passing or the subsequent cremation.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Yeah, I would have to.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
A reasonable person would have to assume this is to
cover up his status.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
Shannon also says that the family was not informed of
John Amos's passing by any medical professional or any other
law enforcement authorities. They're questioning why that happened, and they
do allege that the way in which the brother Casey's
mother passed away, is eerily similar to what's going on
(25:15):
with John Amos. So they're connecting the two and saying
that they believe emphatically that foul play is at hand,
especially given the involvement of two specific individuals, one Eugene
Brummer and another Belinda Foster, who claimed to both have
been John spokespeople. So these names were given by Shannon Amos,
(25:40):
it's asserted in this collective letter.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Clearly this is only the beginning of what's going to
happen there.
Speaker 5 (25:46):
I can't say for certain whether there will be a
criminal investigation. I hope this leads to a criminal investigation.
It's not like that John Amos was not a well
known individual. There are some questions which are going to
have to be answered as far as how he died,
(26:06):
where he died, circumstances surrounding it, Can any of it
be corroborated, Who was the last person to speak with them,
Were there any medical professionals involved any step of the way.
If he had congestive heart failure, was he in constant
contact with a primary care physician and a specialist? These
are all the questions that I would want to know,
(26:27):
because if there aren't people who can corroborate casey Amos's story,
then there need to be charges. It's Later with Mo
Kelly k IF I AM six forty. We're live everywhere
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
Before we get out of here. It's not uncommon that
I'll ask. I'll go around the room and ask what
people are watching. I'll start off, I just saw the
Apple TV movie Wolf's with Brad Pitt and George Clooney.
The budget two hundred million dollars, and I saw that
(27:07):
movie and I was looking for one hundred and eighty
five million of it because there's no special effects, there's
no cgi, there are no stunts, and I'm thinking for
a two hundred million dollar movie, it's probably an epic
adventure across five continents, green screen everywhere, not a lick.
Speaker 8 (27:25):
No, isn't the first half hour all in one room.
It's in one room. They were low lighting. We don't
where the money went. Okay, serious, really, I'm not exaggerating.
One room, one room, and what I've read George Clooney
and Brad Pitt each got thirty five million, But still
that's one hundred and thirty million unaccounted for.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
As far as cinematography and over.
Speaker 7 (27:47):
And above the look of the movie, it's a bit
of a snoozer.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
Well, I didn't hate it if in other words, if
I didn't know the budget and it was just on TV,
because I don't think it was ever meant for a
theatrical It was fine.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Was it problematic as far as plot points?
Speaker 5 (28:04):
Yeah, And for those who don't know, it is set
within the universe of pulp fiction. If you've seen pulp fiction,
there is a thread which is followed from pulp fiction
which sets up what George Clooney and Brad Pitt's character
do and how they come together.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
That's all I'm going to say.
Speaker 7 (28:23):
Well, can I just for clarsification, are they actually in
that universe and reference characters? But I thought the only
similarity was that there are a couple of cleaners like
Harvey Kitel. Well, if you want to just give it away, yeah, sure,
well no, that's established right off the bat. Well, but
the whole point is just like Harvey Kytel, he was
a wolf that was explicit in pulp fiction. He's mister
(28:46):
Wolf in pulp fiction, right. But my question is I
didn't notice. Do they actually establish that it's in the
Tarantino universe?
Speaker 5 (28:54):
No, no, no, no, because no, they probably have to pay
Quentin Tarantino a lot of money. But that is the
whole genesis of this movie. Okay, so maybe there were
more Easter eggs. I didn't see them, how about that.
But it wasn't bad. But it just seemed like it
was a movie about two cleaners who liked the movie
(29:16):
Oceans eleven a lot. The verbal interplay was exactly like
the two characters and Oceans eleven.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
The jokes, the inn window, the back and forth.
Speaker 5 (29:26):
It was just like, we needed to get another guy
who need one more, need one more. It was just
like Ocean's eleven and you saw it. It's like, okay,
it's Oceans eleven set in a different location.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
It was fine.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
I think the movie's like an hour and forty minutes
or whatever. Not believable, but it's okay. You know, it's
you have to suspend your disbelief as you do. But
I just couldn't get past a two hundred million. I
didn't feel I wasted my time, but it wasn't great.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Wasn't mad at the end. It was a little anti
climactic for me.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
If you've seen it, it doesn't really finish the story
as far as I'm concerned. It tells you that there's
more story to be told, and I don't like movies
like that. Give me a clear and concise ending. And
what they gave us was a realization at the end
which would lead to a part two.
Speaker 7 (30:23):
I think part one's plenty for two hundred million. Yeah,
it wasn't an offensively bad movie, but there was just
no reason for it to exist. It was just if
you like those kids, and I like Clooney and Pitt,
I like those Oceans movies, but it's just like the
equivalent of a murder. She wrote, Oh, here's these people
that we like from this generation of actors that we like,
just kind of doing something familiar that we enjoy that
(30:45):
has very little artistic merit whatsoever.
Speaker 8 (30:49):
You saw it, right, Yeah? I bailed before the end though. Okay,
all right, I was going to ask you about the end.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
It felt very like a movie that Robert Redford and
Paul Newman turned down.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Yeah, that's a good way of looking.
Speaker 5 (31:02):
At it, because it seemed like a movie that they
would do in their heyday. But Pitt and Clody, God
love them, they're not Newman and Redford, that's all.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
I think.
Speaker 7 (31:14):
They kind of wish they were our generations Newman and Redford,
but it's just not there. And I don't have anything
against him, but it just seemed kind of like a
lazy effort from start to finish.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
No, it was lazy. It was lazy. It's definitely lazy.
I'm just saying.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
If I saw it in theaters, I would have been
very mad. I was at home. I had time watching
Apple TV. It passed the time I think it. You
know Apple TV. I think it's nine to ninety nine
a month. It was fine as part of my subscription.
I didn't have to go out of my way. I
didn't have to give anything more than my time. It
was enough. It's Clooney and Pit. I've watched most of
their stuff, so that's okay. Mark, What are you watching?
Speaker 3 (31:51):
Well?
Speaker 7 (31:51):
I watched Apartment seven A, which is the movie that
is the prequel to Rosemary's Baby, So instead of Rosemary's Baby,
it's like Rosemary, He's predecessor in the Apartment and boy,
talk about a movie with no reason to exist. It's
got I think Diane Weist does a pretty good imitation
of the Ruth Gordon old Lady character, the neighbor who
(32:14):
and the star of the movie is the young lady
from Ozark, Julia Garner. Oh, she's great, She's terrific, and
you kind of can't take your eyes off her. She
seems like a child to me, and I guess that's
how old we are. She's really interesting to watch. But
the movie itself, you're left with the impression that these
guys just didn't get the original at all. There's like
(32:37):
a dream dance sequence that made me wonder, what in
the hell is this. It's kind of like the guy
who did the last guy who did an Exorcist movie.
It's like, did you even understand what you watched the
first time? Get out of my face with this stuff.
Speaker 5 (32:50):
But these are filmmakers not from that generation, trying to
tell more of a story, not from their generation.
Speaker 7 (32:56):
I mean, on the one hand, I complain about people
kind of drip mining every reference and prequel idea and
that kind of like the Solo movie whatever. I've done
that kind of stuff myself as a writer, and I
really put everything I had into it. To make the
stuff canonical, but you got to be careful with that stuff.
I thought this was just a huge fumble and a
(33:16):
waste of everybody's time, no reason to exist whatsoever. Apartment
seven A on Paramount plus Tiffany very quickly sure.
Speaker 6 (33:23):
I'm watching or watched the Will and Harper documentary on Netflix.
It's about Will Ferrell and his really good friend SNL
writer who comes out as transgender, and they take a
road trip across the country to revisit places that Harper
went when she was a he and it tests their friendship.
Very moving, definitely not a waste of time. It's called
(33:45):
Will and Harper so on Netflix. Kind of a slapstick
buddy comedy at certain points and again a very emotionally
dinse documentary at others.
Speaker 5 (33:55):
It's good, Stephan, Are you watching anything, Yeah, I just
watched Couture Vases Last Stand Up.
Speaker 9 (34:02):
Really good, really funny. Definitely not PC so if you're
hoping did stay away, but it was a lot of fun.
He had a lot of creative jokes. And I also
watched that documentary Hell Camp about the To Help Trouble
tea like rehabilitation in the middle of the desert that
(34:22):
one's a little heavy, but it's really interesting.
Speaker 5 (34:25):
Well, hopefully someone got some good recommendation of something to
watch in the meantime. We will see you tomorrow. K
