Speaker 1 (00:22):
This later with mo Kelly JF.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
I am six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
And I have worked in this business for the better
part of thirty two thirty three years, some form of entertainment,
news and entertainment combination thereof. And I don't remember a
day like today when it relates to newswether news or
(00:47):
possible disasters. Thinking about what has been going on in Florida,
not just today with Hurricane Milton, but two weeks ago
with Hurricane Helene. I don't remember a time like this ever.
And what I mean by that is you have two
i'll say storms of the century or of the past
(01:07):
one hundred years within two weeks of each other. To
think that, Let's say, if you lived in the region
and you were evacuated two weeks ago, and if you
were fortunate enough to come back to your home and
it was still there, to literally turn around two weeks
(01:27):
later and leave again with even more uncertainty. But then
there's this. You have Hurricane Milton, which is vacillated between
A five while at sea, and now it is hitland,
it is between a category two and a Category three.
They've had the gas shortages throughout the state, meaning that
(01:50):
even if you were well intentioned trying to evacuate and
following evacuation orders, you had a hard time just filling
up your car. And then there was this tornadoes all
across the state, life threatening flash floods warnings in place
(02:12):
as of right now, and there are several reports of
tornadoes in the region. Tornadoes by themselves deadly dangerous, hurricanes
by themselves deadly and dangerous. But now you put them
together the same day, in the same location, same place,
and you want to be able to make sure that
(02:33):
you're safe, your family safe, your friends are safe. You
don't know when you leave whether you'll see your house again,
but at least you know if you left early enough
that you can ensure your own safety. I don't know
about you, but I spent much of the day just
staying in contact with various friends and family all around
that Gulf Coast region. And I admit it, I wasn't
(02:57):
great with geography. If you say, you know Tampa or
versus Miami or Orlando, I may get them mixed up
as far as what city is where within the state. Sorry,
you know, it's not where I live. So I was
calling relatives and they say, no, Mo, it's fine, that's
on the other side of the state.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Well, I don't know. All I know is it is
covering a lot of.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Area, and you should be thankful that I'm concerned about you.
Some laughed me off and some were very appreciative. But
I was spending a lot of time just trying to
stay in contact with other people. And if there's anything
which is beautiful about technology today, with text messages, with
social media, I had friends and family. Obviously they didn't
(03:39):
have time to contact everyone, but they did just put
a note up on social media.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Hey we've been evacuated. We're fine.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
You don't need to worry about us, or we're at
so and so's place, or we're going to ride this out.
It's not near us. It's only going to be you know,
a swell of maybe two to four feet. Because of
technology the way it is today, it is easier in
many respects to at least find out about your loved ones.
(04:08):
And I was telling you about how I did the
Blue Door Bash as an MC last weekend, and how
the auctioneer had his house was flooded out and he
barely didn't even make up, barely made the event. And
now he has to go through this again and not
sure whether his house and livestock will be able to
(04:29):
survive a second time. And I'm not saying this to
be funny. I'm saying that we living in California have
it so very good. We often lose sight of, or
we often forget of about what other people have to.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Go through on an annual basis.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
And regardless of this hurricane, which will last maybe another
two days or so, there will be other hurricanes which
come because this is hurricane season, and there will be
other hurricane seasons each and every year. It's something that
we don't have to deal with here, and sometimes I
think we do take it for granted.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
So let me just say this.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
You know, obviously thoughts and prayers are not enough, but
I am pulling for everyone in the southeast, in that
Gulf Coast region as Hurricane Milton makes landfall. Of course,
if you're not sure what is going on, CAFI in
our newsroom will continue to update you throughout the night
as we get more information, the latest information, and also
(05:30):
we want to verify and double check all our information.
We don't want to give you anything which is incomplete
or inaccurate. But you can keep it right here the
rest of the night, and you will find out the
absolute latest on Hurricane Milton, its strength, and what is
happening in that region of the United States. Later here
(05:51):
on the show, we're going to be talking about a
variety of things. Remember how last night we were talking
about how pajamas are the thing now at high school,
going around running errands. People are wearing pajamas everywhere. There
is now a holiday pajama weekend at the La Zoo.
(06:11):
Just announce as if they were listening to the show
last night.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Perfect timing. We'll tell you about that.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
We'll tell you about all the Halloween events coming up
here in southern California, and also remind you about the
Later with Mo Kelly pre Halloween soiree. We just had
our first celebrity confirmation. No, I'm not going to tell
you who it is. I'm just letting you know that
the party is getting bigger and better by the day.
(06:37):
And when I say confirmations, these are people who are
going to be in the house. They're not calling in no, no, no, no,
They're showing up. And this party is just for the
listeners of Later with Moe Kelly KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
And last time, we talked to about this culture of
wearing pajamas everywhere, wearing it to school, wearing pajamas to
the grocery store, wearing pajamas to work, and it's to
the point where you see them everywhere on people all ages.
(07:20):
We just talked about that last night. What we didn't
know was that the La Zoo was going to lean
into this pajama phenomenon. They have this celebration which is
La Zoo Lights, Animals Aglow and is at the La
Zoo and Botanical Gardens. That's going to run November fifteenth
(07:41):
through January fifth of twenty twenty five, and they're building
it up. It has special offerings including sensory inclusive evenings,
Frida Night, a New Year's Eve celebration, and more. The
Zoo and Botanical Gardens.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
I get it. They need to branch out.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
They need to have more special events because, let's think
about it, other than a field trip, other than part
of a vacation, who's going to be going to the
La Zoo and Botanical Gardens. And if so, how frequently
you got to give people a reason to go, got
to have special events.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
So I don't begrudge for that.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
What I do have an issue with is they're including
as part of this La Zoo Lights, Animals, Aglow Celebration
the first ever, the first ever holiday pajama weekend, and
that's going to be December sixth, seventh, and eighth, where
people will be coming to the Zoo and Botanical Gardens
(08:40):
in their pajamas. Maybe new pajamas, maybe old pajamas, maybe
pajamas with the holes in them. I don't know. Maybe
it will be lingerie. I have no idea. All I
know is that the Zoo has now embraced this phenomenon
of wearing pajamas because they are specifically trying to court
the older crowd. When I say older, the adults in
(09:03):
the thirties and forties, where they're.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Making it cool to go to the zoo.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Honestly, I have not been to the La Zoo in
I don't know, forty five almost fifty years, not since
I was in grade school, and I don't see any
reason for me to go in the future. I get
while they're trying to do it. I just don't like
the whole idea of pajamas. They're making it where it's
like a it could be a holiday tradition. They're trying
(09:30):
to build their base. You'll come out with your kids.
You're all wearing your pajamas and maybe your holiday hat,
and you walk around and look at the various exhibits
in the zoo.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
But pajamas, Yes, mo, pajamas.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
I'm telling you, this is something that when my kids
were little, me and their mother we would have taken
them to go see this. We went on a pajama
outing to go, and this was to go and watch
The Roberts of Me because Tom hangs no no, no,
the Train movie Florida and Mercy Thomas The Train No. Look, well,
(10:07):
I'll remember the train move. It's it's one of the
most famous train movies ever made. The Holiday Express. Oh, okay,
Polar Express. Yeah, the Polar Express. We did that when
they were little, little little children. We all went to
a It was like a night out. You wore your pajamas.
There was cocoa and popcorn and treats, and we watched
(10:30):
the movie and all sat around on blankets watching the
movie and it was a cool event.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Couldn't you wear some regular clothes?
Speaker 4 (10:37):
No, it was pajamas. All the families family showed up
in pajamas. This is something that's actually really cool. I
can see this as like, this is a really cool
out for you and your little children.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Okay, all right.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
I remember when I was in high school in band
we had a pajama breakfast.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
It was during band camp. One time at band camp.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
And then I'll say, the upper class men would come
to our houses wake us up and we didn't know
what well, we knew because it was tradition, but we
didn't know which night. And they would wake us up
and we'd have to go out to breakfast with them.
They're in regular clothes, we're in pajamas. It's kind of
a hazing ritual. And it was, you know, it was fun,
(11:21):
but it wasn't something that we would do all the
damn time everywhere.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
This is not a hazing event. You're associating pajamas with
the torture of woken up by people who were making
fun of you because they weren't in pajamas. So it
wasn't a pajama event. I see the scars that you're
revealing now, I thank you for being bold enough to
share that pain and trauma. But what I'm saying is
as someone who would have taken his little children now,
(11:51):
look at my kids now. They would look at me
like I'm crazy. They don't even like getting in the
car and going on our Christmas light getaway where we
get Coco, we try to go ice skating, look at lights.
You know, they're on their phone the whole time.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
You know, let me just ask this, Yes, Stephan, if
you had a significant other and she suggested, hey, why
don't we go to the La Zoo for a date
and we can wear our pajamas, would that interest you?
Speaker 5 (12:23):
I don't think the zoo. Yeah, that's a little bit
too much.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
But this is this is specifically for our age demographic,
thirty and out.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
Like I did something similar to what Touola do with
his family, Like that would be cool because either you
do like a drive in or you're just on a blanket.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
That's cool and that's you know, hanging out. But yeah,
the zoo, I don't know. Okay, Mark Ronner, you and
the long suffering one.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
If she said, hey, why don't we go to the
zoo in our flannel nineties.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
I would say, why is that fun? It isn't for me,
But you would directly ask her. I would need it
explain to me, like I'm a vulcan and she's doctor McCoy.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Why is that fun? It does not seem logical to
do such.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
It doesn't seem logical, it doesn't seem rational, It doesn't
seem like fun at all. For me, I would feel uncomfortable,
but I feel inappropropriately appropriately dressed.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Would you feel comfortable being asked to go to the zoo? Period?
Speaker 5 (13:22):
Me?
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Personally?
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Right now, me, just me and my kids are growing.
They're not trying to go to the zoo, and they
know how I feel about the zoo. I despise everything
about the zoo, I really really do. I'm not a
fan of the zoo period. Oh so you have some
issues with no, no, no, no no, it's just my last
time I went and trauma I saw Just for me,
I did not like seeing the animals in that way.
(13:43):
I don't like seeing animals in that way. So I
don't like zoo's period. I'm not a fan of that.
Second completely. Second, I just don't. To me, it's to me,
it's abhorrent, just zoo's parod. I don't care where La zoo,
Orange County Zoo, you know, Canadian zoo.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
I don't care.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Zoo period is a problem for me period. But but
but I can see why the zoo would do this one.
You gotta drive traffic, and I can see that this
is another way to tap into families to make it,
like you said, a tradition. This is a home run
for tradition's sake only, not for date night.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
No, no, I'm of two minds. I get why the
zoo would want to do it. You're creating a tradition,
and best case scenario, families would want to do it
every single year.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
You have a built in New Year's Eve event if
you like. And yeah, it makes complete sense.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
It's just not for me, Oh absolutely, it's just not
for me and it's not for Mark. And for some
reason we're agreeing more than usual. And well that's gonna change.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Don't worry. Okay, it won't take long you sure? No, Okay, No,
I'm not.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
It's later with mo Kelly can if I am six
forty alive everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. When we come back,
we're going to tell you about some other events going
on in Southern California but specifically tied to Halloween, and
also give you an update on the Lady with mo
Kelly pre Halloween soiree coming up on October thirtieth here
at the Honda Studios at iHeartMedia.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Kelly six Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Let's talk
about some of the events which you're coming up or
already underway this Halloween season in Southern California. You probably
know about Halloween Horror Nights, which is at Universal Studios
(15:41):
and the amusement park guarantees a living, breathing, three dimensional
world of horror with terrifying experiences from TV and movies.
That's something I will never go to, never ever, ever,
Because the first person who reaches out from a bush
and grabs me, I'm kicking them in their throat. I'm
not good with that. I don't like people reaching out
(16:03):
and grabbing me. I don't have a switch in my
head which I can switch on and off and saying
this is not real, this is make believe. I don't
like to be touched I'm being serious. There's some people
want to come up and patch you on the back.
Don't do that with me. Don't don't do that. Don't
do that. And if you reach out of a bush
a bush and try to uh grab my leg or something,
(16:25):
I assume I'm in a fight.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
That's just how I react. I don't.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
I don't do well with that. But it might be
great for you, Mark. You may enjoy it or you tuwala.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
Well. I don't want strangers grabbing onto me either, but
I don't. I don't think I have the same trouble
with maintaining esthetic distance to entertainment that you do.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Yeah, it's hard, it's it's a thing with me and
I intellectually, I know it's Halloween, horror nized people jump
out and I don't. I don't know if they're allowed
to grab you anymore. But once upon a time, yes,
they were absolutely allowed to grab you. That's when I
got kicked out, okay, because that's when my first time going.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
To not scary sir farm, and I thought it was
just haunted houses, you know, and people walk around going boom,
you know, but a cat, you know, kind of got
it got all up in my face with it and
jumped out of nowhere. And I was already like someone
ran by and did one of those slide on the
knees get sparks and stuff like that, like, oh that
was crazy. And I turned around someone jumped on my
(17:25):
face and I hit him and even you hit him?
What kind of hit are we talking about? Yeah, it
was automatically, just knee jerk reaction, and that's what I
loved him.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
And I feel the same way, like kind of like mom.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
I mean, I'm not trained like he is, but my
first reaction would be like, you know, defense, and according
to Tiffany Hobbes, you still do get grabbed. I forgot
which one she was talking with. Okay, that's a no
for me.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
No way, that's a no for me, because I don't
need to get sued. I don't want anyone to get hurt.
I don't want there to be a physical misunderstanding, and
I have to assume. Look, I don't know who I
may be hitting. Okay, it could be a woman. I
don't want that to happen. It could be a man,
and then it might turn into an actual fight after that,
(18:09):
because I'm not expecting someone to just take you know,
take a right cross from me.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
No, they will take the hit, and they will go
in good security and they will come and find you
and you will be escorted out the park.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
As I was, Okay, so you've been kicked out of
Knotsbury Farm, Yes, I've been kicked out of Disneyland.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
Mark.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Have you been kicked out of any place? Well?
Speaker 5 (18:33):
No, No, I feel like I need to. But I mean,
you're trying to tell me that you go to a
place that you know is going to have some nonsense
going on and you still hit the guy.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
I'm sorry, Mark, It's.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Like, jeez, Mark, I said, I was scared and startled
beyond reasonable expectation. I did not expect someone to jump
on me and be like try to like put their
hands near me. Look, I thought people just you know,
from a disc didn't scare you. They and this wasn't
in a haunted house, Like it wasn't winning the maze.
Is I come out of the maze. That's what I'm saying.
(19:07):
I was already scared by the maze. Someone ran by
some sparks, you know, and then someone came and just
and it wasn't even like they gave like a monster thing.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
It was just came right running up on me. You
get violent with carnival workers too, these poor guys. What
if they're also metro drivers on the side. Okay, all right,
So if someone came up on you and snuck up
on you out of nowhere, you wouldn't react in any way. Well,
if I were in a situation where I knew I
had actually paid money to be frightened, now I probably wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
I can't use the word I was gonna.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Okay, Well, paid money to be frightened is one thing,
and what your expectation is connected to that maybe another thing.
Me like to wallet, if I'm expecting someone to jump
out of the bushes, that's my realm of expectation, But
when you put your hands on me, that's different. And
I may be expecting someone just startle me, but I'm
(20:01):
not expecting someone to touch me.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
They gotta have some sort of innovative high tech thing
like like give you a glow in the dark sticker
if you don't want to be touched something like that.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Let me put this and this this is a bad analogy,
I admit it, but this is the only thing I
can think of in a moment. Let's say you're going
to a movie, even a four D movie. You're going
with the anticipation of being frightened, startled, jumps and bumps.
If the movie theater took it one step further and
had people running up and down the aisles and grabbing
(20:31):
you at certain points in the movie, Okay, they're gonna
there's gonna be a misunderstanding.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
Yeah, I don't want to be assaulted in a movie theater.
For this is before all of our times here. But
there was an old horror movie producer named William Castle.
He had some seats electrified in some theaters for a
movie called The Tingler, and so during a shocking part
of the movie, you would literally intend it. You would
literally get a jolt in the caboose. And I would
love to see you in those.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Circumstances that doesn't seem like fun.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
I would enjoy watching you, though then I'd have to
get up, walk out, and then go to the manager look.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
For someone to hit right. Always violence with mister mo Kelly.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Look from the Double bird Man what I'm completely non violent.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
I'm like like Kwi Chan Kane. I'm never violent until
push to the absolute limit, backed into a corner, I'm.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Kind of calling bs on that. But okay, Loki, I'm
kind of callings.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
I'm mad in traffic, but he's okay with someone just
coming out of nowhere where you don't expect them, not
like I mean in real life, if I'm just walking
down the street and somebody grabs me, then of course
that person's probably going to die.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
But in a haunted house, no, come on.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
That's to Walla's point, that's what's that's what made it
worse for me when I knew that it's not just
the houses. They're everywhere, so they can come out of
any corner of the bushes anything. Yes, so not bushes,
please not bushes in a haunted house.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
They didn't say haunted bush, haunted house suck? How suck?
I find a haunted bush terrifying? Okay, okay, Mark.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
There's also fright Fest at six Flags Magic Mountain.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
You could expect.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Haunted mazes that's more akin to what we were experiencing,
haunted maize, haunted shrupperies, scare zones, and scream worthy rides.
Six Flags Magic Mountain there is the La Haunted Hay Ride,
which will go until November two, and it's a nighttime
tractor ride where you see tons of scary creatures and
(22:33):
characters along the way, a haunted village, scary trick or cheating,
and a spooky corn maze.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
I heard that's hands down the scariest thing to do
in Southern Calories.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
That's what I heard. I've never tried it. It's at
Griffith Park Old Zoo.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
There's Knights of the Jack and you can enjoy the
enchanting King Gillette Ranch Grounds two thirds of a mile

It's for the adults. And it's not for Towala Sharp Well,
I mean it's true. I mean they can't look. It's
not for me, that's true.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
And the seventeenth Door Haunt Experience. Seventeenth Door converts a
Fullerton strip mall into a prison from hell. That doesn't
sound like fun. You get a spook out of this
extreme haunted house. The attraction is not suitable for children
for me. That's the West Fullerton Shopping Center, which is
the seventeenth Door, the number seventeenth Door dot com. And yeah,
(25:54):
there are plenty of things to do if you're really
into the Halloween scene, like Nick Polliochini, which is also
his birthday. Met not so much, And that goes back
to what I was telling you Mark about I'm not
the huge horror film enthusiast. I like the horror movies
or the slasher movies, the spooky movies of the nineteen
eighties and some of the nineteen nineties. But the stuff
(26:16):
out now is not my cup of tea.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
But there's I mean, there's a whole range of stuff,
and to me, it's like food. You can have your
comfort food, you can have your spicy food. I probably
like a little spicy food more often than other people.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Like I would in theory, I would like a movie
The Substance, but from what I'm hearing, it's it's really
really unsettling and gory, and that's just not my thing.
There's so much out now, and so much good stuff.
A lot of trash.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
I mean, I just watched some trash last night and
I want my two hours back. But there's there's a
lot of decent stuff, especially on Shutter, which is a
streaming service that's right. Yeah, you can have free or no.
It costs like six dollars a month, and I'm happy
to support it. They do good stuff, okay.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
And also there is the pre Halloween soiree for later
with Mo Kelly Oh yeah, coming up on October thirtieth
here at the Honda Studios. It's not in our regular studio,
but in the Honda Studios because we'll have a live
in studio audience anywhere from a hundred to one hundred
and fifty people. It's going to be you me KFI personalities.
(27:23):
We just had a celebrity confirmation today. Not going to
tell you about it now, tell you about it as
we get closer to the event. So we're trying to
book some people to come through in person, not call in,
but come through. And it's just for our listeners. It's
not for the general public. We're not putting it up
on the KFI AM six forty dot com website, at
least not for now. We want to make sure that
(27:44):
all of our people get in. It's going to be
a real special event with food and drink. They'll probably
be a drunk Stefin at some point.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
I don't know. We can hope. We can only hope.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
Yeah, And you can come up and try to scare
Mark and grab him because he's okay with that right.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Don't trying to instigate any stochastic terrorism.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
No, No, you will be ready for We're letting you
know in advance, so there's no reason for you to
freak out because you won't be surprised.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
I feel like you're lining me up to be assaulted,
and I don't think I appreciate it. No, we're lining
up for you to get sued by being hit by somebody,
no after you hit them in response. Whatever you're doing now,
I find it unsavory and unprofessional. You can give me
the double bird, and it's gonna remind you of the time.
Look at the clock.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Kay, If I am six forty, we're live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app. And when we come back, we got
to tell you about another seven to eleven which just
got robbed, this one in Hollywood.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
If I am six forty is Later with mo Kelly
live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Last night, I was
speaking with Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer about smashing grabs,
the seven to eleven robberies and how they've spilled over
into Orange County. The most recent one at that point
(29:06):
was at an Anaheim seven eleven. Two hours later, there
was another robbery, a group robbery, but this one was
back in Los Angeles County when some twelve to fifteen
teenagers rated a Hollywood Walk of Fame seven eleven at
about eleven pm last night. It was at Hollywood Boulevard
(29:29):
and will Cox Avenue. Again, they were about twelve to
fifteen teenagers, both male and female, who participated in this.
No arrests were made at least at that point, but
one person was transported to a hospital. It's not clear
whether it was a convenience store employee or someone who
(29:50):
happened to be in the near vicinity. But if you
heard my conversation with Da Spitzer, and I recommend that
you go back and listen to it, it was.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
It was very thoughtful and gave.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Us a lot of information about how there may be
coordinating forces outside of these individuals who were.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Instigating them, planning with them.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
And I was talking about how this is just happening
at seven to eleven in a different rant that I had,
and how it might be connected to lottery tickets in
this instance at this Hollywood seven eleven. It says that
cash was taken, but doesn't indicate any lottery tickets. But
(30:34):
it does make me wonder whether this is connected to
the other robberies or as social media has been known
to do, encouraging similar behavior from other teens, this is
not as large as the other robberies. There weren't as
many people involved. It didn't seem that it was as
effective as far as the amount of merchandise which was taken.
(30:57):
It didn't seem as if from published reports that it
was as sophisticated as the other robberies. So we may
have a situation where you just have other groups or
other teams who are also participating, also mimicking what they're
seeing in the news. And sometimes we can be our
own worst enemies because it happens, we talk about it,
(31:21):
we rant about it, we have conversations about it, and
it becomes bigger and bigger in a news sense, and
of course it makes it much more appealing for someone
to also do that because they know that we'll talk
about it and we'll discuss it, and also it will
get in the news and get type of covers because
we can tell that this is something which is going
(31:44):
to be covered each and every time that it happens.
I know the next time, and there will be a
next time that a seven to eleven is robbed, I'm
going to talk about it. It'll probably be covered by
all the local news. And you know that anyone who's
participating in this In part, I believe Eve wants the
gratification of being acknowledged on TV. Remember I was talking
(32:08):
about how the video of the Anaheim robbery was.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
On loop all day long. That has to be part
of the calculation.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
It's like, if we rob this seven to eleven, we'll
get to see it on the news, or we'll get
to see it on social media. Because every time they've
done it, they've uploaded various videos where to social media.
So that's probably why some of these are happening, because
they want the notoriety.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
They want to see themselves doing it.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
As strange as that might sound, they want to see
themselves doing it.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
But clearly this is not slowing down.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Clearly this is going to be something which is going
to continue to happen until we get to the bottom
of who's coordinating it, why they're doing it, and hopefully
putting a stop to it. It's later with Mo Kelly.
We are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio, app.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Phone, car radio, smart toaster. We don't care how you listen,
just that you do.
Speaker 5 (33:08):
K f I and k ost HD two Los Angeles,
Orange County live
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Everywhere on the eart Radio
This later with mo Kelly JF.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
I am six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
And I have worked in this business for the better
part of thirty two thirty three years, some form of entertainment,
news and entertainment combination thereof. And I don't remember a
day like today when it relates to newswether news or
(00:47):
possible disasters. Thinking about what has been going on in Florida,
not just today with Hurricane Milton, but two weeks ago
with Hurricane Helene. I don't remember a time like this ever.
And what I mean by that is you have two
i'll say storms of the century or of the past
(01:07):
one hundred years within two weeks of each other. To
think that, Let's say, if you lived in the region
and you were evacuated two weeks ago, and if you
were fortunate enough to come back to your home and
it was still there, to literally turn around two weeks
(01:27):
later and leave again with even more uncertainty. But then
there's this. You have Hurricane Milton, which is vacillated between
A five while at sea, and now it is hitland,
it is between a category two and a Category three.
They've had the gas shortages throughout the state, meaning that
(01:50):
even if you were well intentioned trying to evacuate and
following evacuation orders, you had a hard time just filling
up your car. And then there was this tornadoes all
across the state, life threatening flash floods warnings in place
(02:12):
as of right now, and there are several reports of
tornadoes in the region. Tornadoes by themselves deadly dangerous, hurricanes
by themselves deadly and dangerous. But now you put them
together the same day, in the same location, same place,
and you want to be able to make sure that
(02:33):
you're safe, your family safe, your friends are safe. You
don't know when you leave whether you'll see your house again,
but at least you know if you left early enough
that you can ensure your own safety. I don't know
about you, but I spent much of the day just
staying in contact with various friends and family all around
that Gulf Coast region. And I admit it, I wasn't
(02:57):
great with geography. If you say, you know Tampa or
versus Miami or Orlando, I may get them mixed up
as far as what city is where within the state. Sorry,
you know, it's not where I live. So I was
calling relatives and they say, no, Mo, it's fine, that's
on the other side of the state.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Well, I don't know. All I know is it is
covering a lot of.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Area, and you should be thankful that I'm concerned about you.
Some laughed me off and some were very appreciative. But
I was spending a lot of time just trying to
stay in contact with other people. And if there's anything
which is beautiful about technology today, with text messages, with
social media, I had friends and family. Obviously they didn't
(03:39):
have time to contact everyone, but they did just put
a note up on social media.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Hey we've been evacuated. We're fine.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
You don't need to worry about us, or we're at
so and so's place, or we're going to ride this out.
It's not near us. It's only going to be you know,
a swell of maybe two to four feet. Because of
technology the way it is today, it is easier in
many respects to at least find out about your loved ones.
(04:08):
And I was telling you about how I did the
Blue Door Bash as an MC last weekend, and how
the auctioneer had his house was flooded out and he
barely didn't even make up, barely made the event. And
now he has to go through this again and not
sure whether his house and livestock will be able to
(04:29):
survive a second time. And I'm not saying this to
be funny. I'm saying that we living in California have
it so very good. We often lose sight of, or
we often forget of about what other people have to.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Go through on an annual basis.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
And regardless of this hurricane, which will last maybe another
two days or so, there will be other hurricanes which
come because this is hurricane season, and there will be
other hurricane seasons each and every year. It's something that
we don't have to deal with here, and sometimes I
think we do take it for granted.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
So let me just say this.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
You know, obviously thoughts and prayers are not enough, but
I am pulling for everyone in the southeast, in that
Gulf Coast region as Hurricane Milton makes landfall. Of course,
if you're not sure what is going on, CAFI in
our newsroom will continue to update you throughout the night
as we get more information, the latest information, and also
(05:30):
we want to verify and double check all our information.
We don't want to give you anything which is incomplete
or inaccurate. But you can keep it right here the
rest of the night, and you will find out the
absolute latest on Hurricane Milton, its strength, and what is
happening in that region of the United States. Later here
(05:51):
on the show, we're going to be talking about a
variety of things. Remember how last night we were talking
about how pajamas are the thing now at high school,
going around running errands. People are wearing pajamas everywhere. There
is now a holiday pajama weekend at the La Zoo.
(06:11):
Just announce as if they were listening to the show
last night.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Perfect timing. We'll tell you about that.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
We'll tell you about all the Halloween events coming up
here in southern California, and also remind you about the
Later with Mo Kelly pre Halloween soiree. We just had
our first celebrity confirmation. No, I'm not going to tell
you who it is. I'm just letting you know that
the party is getting bigger and better by the day.
(06:37):
And when I say confirmations, these are people who are
going to be in the house. They're not calling in no, no, no, no,
They're showing up. And this party is just for the
listeners of Later with Moe Kelly KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
And last time, we talked to about this culture of
wearing pajamas everywhere, wearing it to school, wearing pajamas to
the grocery store, wearing pajamas to work, and it's to
the point where you see them everywhere on people all ages.
(07:20):
We just talked about that last night. What we didn't
know was that the La Zoo was going to lean
into this pajama phenomenon. They have this celebration which is
La Zoo Lights, Animals Aglow and is at the La
Zoo and Botanical Gardens. That's going to run November fifteenth
(07:41):
through January fifth of twenty twenty five, and they're building
it up. It has special offerings including sensory inclusive evenings,
Frida Night, a New Year's Eve celebration, and more. The
Zoo and Botanical Gardens.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
I get it. They need to branch out.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
They need to have more special events because, let's think
about it, other than a field trip, other than part
of a vacation, who's going to be going to the
La Zoo and Botanical Gardens. And if so, how frequently
you got to give people a reason to go, got
to have special events.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
So I don't begrudge for that.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
What I do have an issue with is they're including
as part of this La Zoo Lights, Animals, Aglow Celebration
the first ever, the first ever holiday pajama weekend, and
that's going to be December sixth, seventh, and eighth, where
people will be coming to the Zoo and Botanical Gardens
(08:40):
in their pajamas. Maybe new pajamas, maybe old pajamas, maybe
pajamas with the holes in them. I don't know. Maybe
it will be lingerie. I have no idea. All I
know is that the Zoo has now embraced this phenomenon
of wearing pajamas because they are specifically trying to court
the older crowd. When I say older, the adults in
(09:03):
the thirties and forties, where they're.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Making it cool to go to the zoo.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Honestly, I have not been to the La Zoo in
I don't know, forty five almost fifty years, not since
I was in grade school, and I don't see any
reason for me to go in the future. I get
while they're trying to do it. I just don't like
the whole idea of pajamas. They're making it where it's
like a it could be a holiday tradition. They're trying
(09:30):
to build their base. You'll come out with your kids.
You're all wearing your pajamas and maybe your holiday hat,
and you walk around and look at the various exhibits
in the zoo.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
But pajamas, Yes, mo, pajamas.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
I'm telling you, this is something that when my kids
were little, me and their mother we would have taken
them to go see this. We went on a pajama
outing to go, and this was to go and watch
The Roberts of Me because Tom hangs no no, no,
the Train movie Florida and Mercy Thomas The Train No. Look, well,
(10:07):
I'll remember the train move. It's it's one of the
most famous train movies ever made. The Holiday Express. Oh, okay,
Polar Express. Yeah, the Polar Express. We did that when
they were little, little little children. We all went to
a It was like a night out. You wore your pajamas.
There was cocoa and popcorn and treats, and we watched
(10:30):
the movie and all sat around on blankets watching the
movie and it was a cool event.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Couldn't you wear some regular clothes?
Speaker 4 (10:37):
No, it was pajamas. All the families family showed up
in pajamas. This is something that's actually really cool. I
can see this as like, this is a really cool
out for you and your little children.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Okay, all right.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
I remember when I was in high school in band
we had a pajama breakfast.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
It was during band camp. One time at band camp.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
And then I'll say, the upper class men would come
to our houses wake us up and we didn't know
what well, we knew because it was tradition, but we
didn't know which night. And they would wake us up
and we'd have to go out to breakfast with them.
They're in regular clothes, we're in pajamas. It's kind of
a hazing ritual. And it was, you know, it was fun,
(11:21):
but it wasn't something that we would do all the
damn time everywhere.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
This is not a hazing event. You're associating pajamas with
the torture of woken up by people who were making
fun of you because they weren't in pajamas. So it
wasn't a pajama event. I see the scars that you're
revealing now, I thank you for being bold enough to
share that pain and trauma. But what I'm saying is
as someone who would have taken his little children now,
(11:51):
look at my kids now. They would look at me
like I'm crazy. They don't even like getting in the
car and going on our Christmas light getaway where we
get Coco, we try to go ice skating, look at lights.
You know, they're on their phone the whole time.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
You know, let me just ask this, Yes, Stephan, if
you had a significant other and she suggested, hey, why
don't we go to the La Zoo for a date
and we can wear our pajamas, would that interest you?
Speaker 5 (12:23):
I don't think the zoo. Yeah, that's a little bit
too much.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
But this is this is specifically for our age demographic,
thirty and out.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
Like I did something similar to what Touola do with
his family, Like that would be cool because either you
do like a drive in or you're just on a blanket.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
That's cool and that's you know, hanging out. But yeah,
the zoo, I don't know. Okay, Mark Ronner, you and
the long suffering one.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
If she said, hey, why don't we go to the
zoo in our flannel nineties.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
I would say, why is that fun? It isn't for me,
But you would directly ask her. I would need it
explain to me, like I'm a vulcan and she's doctor McCoy.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Why is that fun? It does not seem logical to
do such.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
It doesn't seem logical, it doesn't seem rational, It doesn't
seem like fun at all. For me, I would feel uncomfortable,
but I feel inappropropriately appropriately dressed.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Would you feel comfortable being asked to go to the zoo? Period?
Speaker 5 (13:22):
Me?
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Personally?
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Right now, me, just me and my kids are growing.
They're not trying to go to the zoo, and they
know how I feel about the zoo. I despise everything
about the zoo, I really really do. I'm not a
fan of the zoo period. Oh so you have some
issues with no, no, no, no no, it's just my last
time I went and trauma I saw Just for me,
I did not like seeing the animals in that way.
(13:43):
I don't like seeing animals in that way. So I
don't like zoo's period. I'm not a fan of that.
Second completely. Second, I just don't. To me, it's to me,
it's abhorrent, just zoo's parod. I don't care where La zoo,
Orange County Zoo, you know, Canadian zoo.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
I don't care.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Zoo period is a problem for me period. But but
but I can see why the zoo would do this one.
You gotta drive traffic, and I can see that this
is another way to tap into families to make it,
like you said, a tradition. This is a home run
for tradition's sake only, not for date night.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
No, no, I'm of two minds. I get why the
zoo would want to do it. You're creating a tradition,
and best case scenario, families would want to do it
every single year.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
You have a built in New Year's Eve event if
you like. And yeah, it makes complete sense.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
It's just not for me, Oh absolutely, it's just not
for me and it's not for Mark. And for some
reason we're agreeing more than usual. And well that's gonna change.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Don't worry. Okay, it won't take long you sure? No, Okay, No,
I'm not.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
It's later with mo Kelly can if I am six
forty alive everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. When we come back,
we're going to tell you about some other events going
on in Southern California but specifically tied to Halloween, and
also give you an update on the Lady with mo
Kelly pre Halloween soiree coming up on October thirtieth here
at the Honda Studios at iHeartMedia.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Kelly six Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Let's talk
about some of the events which you're coming up or
already underway this Halloween season in Southern California. You probably
know about Halloween Horror Nights, which is at Universal Studios
(15:41):
and the amusement park guarantees a living, breathing, three dimensional
world of horror with terrifying experiences from TV and movies.
That's something I will never go to, never ever, ever,
Because the first person who reaches out from a bush
and grabs me, I'm kicking them in their throat. I'm
not good with that. I don't like people reaching out
(16:03):
and grabbing me. I don't have a switch in my
head which I can switch on and off and saying
this is not real, this is make believe. I don't
like to be touched I'm being serious. There's some people
want to come up and patch you on the back.
Don't do that with me. Don't don't do that. Don't
do that. And if you reach out of a bush
a bush and try to uh grab my leg or something,
(16:25):
I assume I'm in a fight.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
That's just how I react. I don't.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
I don't do well with that. But it might be
great for you, Mark. You may enjoy it or you tuwala.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
Well. I don't want strangers grabbing onto me either, but
I don't. I don't think I have the same trouble
with maintaining esthetic distance to entertainment that you do.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Yeah, it's hard, it's it's a thing with me and
I intellectually, I know it's Halloween, horror nized people jump
out and I don't. I don't know if they're allowed
to grab you anymore. But once upon a time, yes,
they were absolutely allowed to grab you. That's when I
got kicked out, okay, because that's when my first time going.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
To not scary sir farm, and I thought it was
just haunted houses, you know, and people walk around going boom,
you know, but a cat, you know, kind of got
it got all up in my face with it and
jumped out of nowhere. And I was already like someone
ran by and did one of those slide on the
knees get sparks and stuff like that, like, oh that
was crazy. And I turned around someone jumped on my
(17:25):
face and I hit him and even you hit him?
What kind of hit are we talking about? Yeah, it
was automatically, just knee jerk reaction, and that's what I
loved him.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
And I feel the same way, like kind of like mom.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
I mean, I'm not trained like he is, but my
first reaction would be like, you know, defense, and according
to Tiffany Hobbes, you still do get grabbed. I forgot
which one she was talking with. Okay, that's a no
for me.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
No way, that's a no for me, because I don't
need to get sued. I don't want anyone to get hurt.
I don't want there to be a physical misunderstanding, and
I have to assume. Look, I don't know who I
may be hitting. Okay, it could be a woman. I
don't want that to happen. It could be a man,
and then it might turn into an actual fight after that,
(18:09):
because I'm not expecting someone to just take you know,
take a right cross from me.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
No, they will take the hit, and they will go
in good security and they will come and find you
and you will be escorted out the park.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
As I was, Okay, so you've been kicked out of
Knotsbury Farm, Yes, I've been kicked out of Disneyland.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
Mark.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Have you been kicked out of any place? Well?
Speaker 5 (18:33):
No, No, I feel like I need to. But I mean,
you're trying to tell me that you go to a
place that you know is going to have some nonsense
going on and you still hit the guy.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
I'm sorry, Mark, It's.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Like, jeez, Mark, I said, I was scared and startled
beyond reasonable expectation. I did not expect someone to jump
on me and be like try to like put their
hands near me. Look, I thought people just you know,
from a disc didn't scare you. They and this wasn't
in a haunted house, Like it wasn't winning the maze.
Is I come out of the maze. That's what I'm saying.
(19:07):
I was already scared by the maze. Someone ran by
some sparks, you know, and then someone came and just
and it wasn't even like they gave like a monster thing.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
It was just came right running up on me. You
get violent with carnival workers too, these poor guys. What
if they're also metro drivers on the side. Okay, all right,
So if someone came up on you and snuck up
on you out of nowhere, you wouldn't react in any way. Well,
if I were in a situation where I knew I
had actually paid money to be frightened, now I probably wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
I can't use the word I was gonna.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Okay, Well, paid money to be frightened is one thing,
and what your expectation is connected to that maybe another thing.
Me like to wallet, if I'm expecting someone to jump
out of the bushes, that's my realm of expectation, But
when you put your hands on me, that's different. And
I may be expecting someone just startle me, but I'm
(20:01):
not expecting someone to touch me.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
They gotta have some sort of innovative high tech thing
like like give you a glow in the dark sticker
if you don't want to be touched something like that.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Let me put this and this this is a bad analogy,
I admit it, but this is the only thing I
can think of in a moment. Let's say you're going
to a movie, even a four D movie. You're going
with the anticipation of being frightened, startled, jumps and bumps.
If the movie theater took it one step further and
had people running up and down the aisles and grabbing
(20:31):
you at certain points in the movie, Okay, they're gonna
there's gonna be a misunderstanding.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
Yeah, I don't want to be assaulted in a movie theater.
For this is before all of our times here. But
there was an old horror movie producer named William Castle.
He had some seats electrified in some theaters for a
movie called The Tingler, and so during a shocking part
of the movie, you would literally intend it. You would
literally get a jolt in the caboose. And I would
love to see you in those.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Circumstances that doesn't seem like fun.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
I would enjoy watching you, though then I'd have to
get up, walk out, and then go to the manager look.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
For someone to hit right. Always violence with mister mo Kelly.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Look from the Double bird Man what I'm completely non violent.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
I'm like like Kwi Chan Kane. I'm never violent until
push to the absolute limit, backed into a corner, I'm.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Kind of calling bs on that. But okay, Loki, I'm
kind of callings.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
I'm mad in traffic, but he's okay with someone just
coming out of nowhere where you don't expect them, not
like I mean in real life, if I'm just walking
down the street and somebody grabs me, then of course
that person's probably going to die.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
But in a haunted house, no, come on.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
That's to Walla's point, that's what's that's what made it
worse for me when I knew that it's not just
the houses. They're everywhere, so they can come out of
any corner of the bushes anything. Yes, so not bushes,
please not bushes in a haunted house.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
They didn't say haunted bush, haunted house suck? How suck?
I find a haunted bush terrifying? Okay, okay, Mark.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
There's also fright Fest at six Flags Magic Mountain.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
You could expect.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Haunted mazes that's more akin to what we were experiencing,
haunted maize, haunted shrupperies, scare zones, and scream worthy rides.

which will go until November two, and it's a nighttime
tractor ride where you see tons of scary creatures and
(22:33):
characters along the way, a haunted village, scary trick or cheating,

not for me, that's true.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
And the seventeenth Door Haunt Experience. Seventeenth Door converts a
Fullerton strip mall into a prison from hell. That doesn't
sound like fun. You get a spook out of this
extreme haunted house. The attraction is not suitable for children
for me. That's the West Fullerton Shopping Center, which is
the seventeenth Door, the number seventeenth Door dot com. And yeah,
(25:54):
there are plenty of things to do if you're really
into the Halloween scene, like Nick Polliochini, which is also
his birthday. Met not so much, And that goes back
to what I was telling you Mark about I'm not
the huge horror film enthusiast. I like the horror movies
or the slasher movies, the spooky movies of the nineteen
eighties and some of the nineteen nineties. But the stuff
(26:16):
out now is not my cup of tea.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
But there's I mean, there's a whole range of stuff,
and to me, it's like food. You can have your
comfort food, you can have your spicy food. I probably
like a little spicy food more often than other people.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Like I would in theory, I would like a movie
The Substance, but from what I'm hearing, it's it's really
really unsettling and gory, and that's just not my thing.
There's so much out now, and so much good stuff.
A lot of trash.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
I mean, I just watched some trash last night and
I want my two hours back. But there's there's a
lot of decent stuff, especially on Shutter, which is a
streaming service that's right. Yeah, you can have free or no.
It costs like six dollars a month, and I'm happy
to support it. They do good stuff, okay.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
And also there is the pre Halloween soiree for later
with Mo Kelly Oh yeah, coming up on October thirtieth

tell you about it now, tell you about it as
we get closer to the event. So we're trying to
book some people to come through in person, not call in,
but come through. And it's just for our listeners. It's
not for the general public. We're not putting it up
on the KFI AM six forty dot com website, at
least not for now. We want to make sure that
(27:44):
all of our people get in. It's going to be
a real special event with food and drink. They'll probably
be a drunk Stefin at some point.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
I don't know. We can hope. We can only hope.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
Yeah, And you can come up and try to scare

know in advance, so there's no reason for you to
freak out because you won't be surprised.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
I feel like you're lining me up to be assaulted,
and I don't think I appreciate it. No, we're lining
up for you to get sued by being hit by somebody,
no after you hit them in response. Whatever you're doing now,
I find it unsavory and unprofessional. You can give me
the double bird, and it's gonna remind you of the time.
Look at the clock.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Kay, If I am six forty, we're live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app. And when we come back, we got
to tell you about another seven to eleven which just
got robbed, this one in Hollywood.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
If I am six forty is Later with mo Kelly
live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Last night, I was
speaking with Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer about smashing grabs,
the seven to eleven robberies and how they've spilled over
into Orange County. The most recent one at that point
(29:06):
was at an Anaheim seven eleven. Two hours later, there
was another robbery, a group robbery, but this one was
back in Los Angeles County when some twelve to fifteen
teenagers rated a Hollywood Walk of Fame seven eleven at
about eleven pm last night. It was at Hollywood Boulevard
(29:29):
and will Cox Avenue. Again, they were about twelve to
fifteen teenagers, both male and female, who participated in this.
No arrests were made at least at that point, but
one person was transported to a hospital. It's not clear
whether it was a convenience store employee or someone who
(29:50):
happened to be in the near vicinity. But if you
heard my conversation with Da Spitzer, and I recommend that
you go back and listen to it, it was.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
It was very thoughtful and gave.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Us a lot of information about how there may be
coordinating forces outside of these individuals who were.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Instigating them, planning with them.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
And I was talking about how this is just happening
at seven to eleven in a different rant that I had,
and how it might be connected to lottery tickets in
this instance at this Hollywood seven eleven. It says that
cash was taken, but doesn't indicate any lottery tickets. But
(30:34):
it does make me wonder whether this is connected to
the other robberies or as social media has been known
to do, encouraging similar behavior from other teens, this is
not as large as the other robberies. There weren't as
many people involved. It didn't seem that it was as
effective as far as the amount of merchandise which was taken.
(30:57):
It didn't seem as if from published reports that it
was as sophisticated as the other robberies. So we may
have a situation where you just have other groups or
other teams who are also participating, also mimicking what they're
seeing in the news. And sometimes we can be our
own worst enemies because it happens, we talk about it,
(31:21):
we rant about it, we have conversations about it, and
it becomes bigger and bigger in a news sense, and
of course it makes it much more appealing for someone
to also do that because they know that we'll talk
about it and we'll discuss it, and also it will
get in the news and get type of covers because
we can tell that this is something which is going
(31:44):
to be covered each and every time that it happens.
I know the next time, and there will be a
next time that a seven to eleven is robbed, I'm
going to talk about it. It'll probably be covered by
all the local news. And you know that anyone who's
participating in this In part, I believe Eve wants the
gratification of being acknowledged on TV. Remember I was talking
(32:08):
about how the video of the Anaheim robbery was.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
On loop all day long. That has to be part
of the calculation.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
It's like, if we rob this seven to eleven, we'll
get to see it on the news, or we'll get
to see it on social media. Because every time they've
done it, they've uploaded various videos where to social media.
So that's probably why some of these are happening, because
they want the notoriety.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
They want to see themselves doing it.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
As strange as that might sound, they want to see
themselves doing it.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
But clearly this is not slowing down.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Clearly this is going to be something which is going
to continue to happen until we get to the bottom
of who's coordinating it, why they're doing it, and hopefully
putting a stop to it. It's later with Mo Kelly.
We are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio, app.
