You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI A M six forty Now Kelly Show, Social.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Media, Facebook, Kids, to X Ticktalk, Sirelad, Viral Load, the
Viral Load, arliy kf I mo Kelly Live Everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app. And now I turn it over to
Tiffany Hops with the viral Load.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Good evening, mister mo Kelly, you like I have dogs? Yes,
you walk your dogs in your neighborhood occasionally every day.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
What kind of so do I? What kind of leash
do you use? I use I don't know the name
of it, but it's is a brand, but kind it
is a dual dog leash were I have one handle
and it has both of them. About that, I don't
know how to describe her. No worries.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
You know the retractable leashes, the kind that you can
extend or the dog can move and extend the length
of the leash. Well, there's a young woman named Daniella
a brew and what happened to her is tragic but
also a very cautionary tale. So Daniella is twenty three,
she lives in Florida, and last year and this has
(01:23):
gone viral.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
This year. That's why we're talking about it.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Last year, Daniella was walking her sixty pound husky. A husky, Okay,
you know anything about huskies like I do. They are
very energetic, they're rambunctious. They seem to have their own
plan about things. And that's what Danielle's dog was doing.
She's walking the dog in the neighborhood. The dog spots
a cat. Her dog takes off while it's on this
(01:48):
retractable leash. Daniella has walked the dog for year, for
the year she's owned the dog. The dog is well trained,
but the dog follows its instincts and takes off after
this cat.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Daniella keeps control of the leash.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
However, the power from the dog, the weight, just everything
combined caused the leash to break and the buckle part,
the metal part at the end that you clasp into
the collar or the harness, came back, hitting Daniella in
the eye full force, full speed. It not only punctured
(02:23):
her retina, but it caused irre irreversible damage to the
tune of having to have her eye all together removed.
Daniella is now speaking about the incident and using her
TikTok platform to give that cautionary tale to encourage dog
owners or any other owner of any animal you might
(02:45):
put on a retractable leash, cause I know some people
do that with their cats as well.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
We have one in home. We don't use it often,
but we have one, and I have one.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
And this really scared me to be very careful about
that kind of backspin or that the fact that it
can break or dislodge and then come back and hit you.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
It may hit your dog as well. I wonder, and
I'm sympathetic, but I wonder whether this is more a
case of owner freak accident. Freak accident, you know, because yes,
everything can be dangerous in a given situation. Yes, there's
that spring loaded action of that leash, and of course
when it has that middle hook at the end, if
(03:24):
it starts flying around, yes it can be dangerous. I
think it's more bad luck than anything.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
And here's the thing that could possibly be true, the
idea of it just being an isolated incident if Danielle
hadn't shared it to her social media last year and
this happened in the fall of last year, so not
too too long body, but a little less than a
year ago, and since then, her followers and other commentarys
have shared similar stories. Unfortunately, it is not an isolated incident,
(03:51):
and it is something that occurs far too often, especially
according to emergency rooms who deal with this sort of
thing regularly.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Is there any similarity in brain just that style of life,
just that style of leash?
Speaker 3 (04:03):
And so what's being suggested is that if you have
a dog that is of any significant weight. So you
and I both have kind of smallish dogs. If you
have a dog small, mine's even SMALLERUAA and a terrier.
But if you have a dog that's twenty thirty forty
pounds or more, or at least is strong enough to
be able to break that retractable leash, perhaps go to
a standard leash, a rope leash, whatever it may be,
(04:25):
so that you do not get that recoil effect.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
All right, next story.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Now, this story appeals to the murder mystery officionado in
all of us. Mark, get ready, get ready, Mark. I
love a good murder mystery. I watch anything that has
to do with murder mystery, and I find myself wanting
to be an amateur investigator.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
I always wanted to be one.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
So this speaks to my sentiments and apparently also to
millions of other people, because this story has gone viral
again millions of times over. There's a woman. Her name
is Katie Sandtree, young mom, lives in Ohio, and Katie
Sandtrie had a modest following on her TikTok up until
about a week ago. She had a few thousand people
(05:11):
who were following Katie's day to day exploits and just
her day to day life and her musings about her
recent miscarriage. Katie was using her TikTok platform to encourage
people in their pursuit of fertility. Well, in the last week,
Katie's objective has shifted completely and she's doing something she
(05:34):
never thought she'd be doing. Here's why. Katie and her
husband were digging holes in their backyard to put up
a fence. Very mundane, very normal. In one of the
holes that they dug, a few feet down, they found
what looked to be a piece of or corner of
a carpet of some kind. Katie was able to kind
(05:55):
of pinpoint and say, it looks like a shag carpet. Well,
they didn't take the carpet out. Instead, Katie went to
her TikTok and said, hey, guys, you guys follow me
about my day to day things. This is what happened.
We found this carpet, find it kind of odd. Wonder
what's going on down there. Check back tomorrow and I'll
let you know. She goes to sleep. She wakes up
(06:17):
the next morning. She says that sometime in the middle
of the night, her screen on her computer was completely shattered.
Her desk that she works from was moved to a
different place in the room and ransacked. She says her
husband couldn't have done it, her child was too young,
and she knows she didn't do it, and there was
no intruder. So Katie goes back to her TikTok, kind
(06:39):
of makes a lighthearted joke and says, hey, this is
what happened. Maybe it's quote the ghost in the carpet
or the ghost in the rug.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Well, her TikTok blows.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Up and goes from six thousand followers to tens of
thousands of followers and hours because now people are sharing, sharing, sharing,
and they're telling her Katie go to the police.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Katie go out there and dig it up.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Everyone's musing and has their ideas as to what it
could possibly be.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Katie calls the police.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
They come out and check, don't only find anything, kind
of push her to the side. Katie goes on for
the next couple of days, really interested in what's there.
The police get wind of the virility of her story
on TikTok because again it shared. Now it's hundreds of
thousands of times. Now her following count has gone from
six thousand to over two hundred thousand. People again are
(07:29):
musing about what it could possibly be. The police taken interest.
They come back to her property, tape it off. They
tell her we are going to treat this like a
homicide investigation. They bring in cadaver dogs. Katie's live on TikTok.
She's broadcasting live and as she's there, she sees the
two cadaver dogs sit down on the hole where it was.
(07:54):
They signaled that there was something, so the police excavated
the carpet.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
It's roll hold up. They take it away.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
They tell her doesn't mean there's anything found, doesn't mean
there's a body or anything, but we're gonna use this
as evidence. We're going to investigate further. It is now
an active investigation.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
It is an.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Active mystery murder. We don't know, but there's something there.
And Katie's entire platform is dedicated to the unveiling of
what this could be.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
What a story all because she went digging in the backyard, All.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Because she went digging in the backyard to plant or
plant to put a fence in.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
You never know, So there could be an actual body
connected to that carpet. There could be.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Katie did some research on the home that she lives
in with her husband. There was one or two there
were two prior owners, a couple who left the home
and went into a nursing home. So nothing really nefarious
there that they know of. But of course the questions
are why would this carpet be rolled up and buried
in the backyard and it was under a specific tree.
So there's all these clues, and again all the investigators
(08:59):
online are jumping in given their ideas.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
It's an unfolding story, all because of social media, all
because of social media. It's Later with mo Kelly, Part
two of the viral load when we come back.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Now it's My Room Tiffany Live on Campile So in
mo o' kelly, she'll talk about the tough kiss on
social media. Reload with Tiffany Hubbs cam I am six
forty now for part two of the viral Load with
(09:41):
Tiffany Hops.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
There was a study by research group Investipedia that found
that the estimated lifetime let me say that again, the
estimated lifetime, so over the entirety of your life, your
life span be it sixty five or seventy five or
eighty five years or whatever, now costs four point four
(10:05):
million dollars. Kind of speaks to what you were talking
about earlier, mo about the best places to retire in
the country. However, this statistic or this information isn't groundbreaking.
There are always studies about how much the cost of
living will be for people. What's especially interesting is what
of this story has gone viral and it's all of
(10:28):
the commentary about this, these these details in this story.
So Investipedia had a graph and in that graph they
showed housing, cars, vacations, college, medical and other expenses that
we use throughout the year.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Okay, in any given year.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
But again, the estimated lifetime total is what the graph showed.
So it wasn't the cost of one car, one time,
it was how many cars on average and American buys
throughout their lifetime.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
How many have you owned so far?
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Mo?
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Would you say, I think this is my fourth car? Okay? So,
and you may have another car to in you depending
on what you want to live, right, So rush me.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Let's say you own five cars from over the course
of your lifetime, and let's say you buy an average
priced car, which is about thirty thousand dollars. Now let's
just say, okay, okay, do the math thirty times five is.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
One hundred and fifty thousand.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
So one hundred and fifty thousand is what appeared on
the graph. So on going around there, right, But people
did not understand that this was a lifetime cost. What
people started commenting in mass and being screenshotted and shared
that has now gone viral. Are lots and lots of
misunderstandings again about the math. So instead of understanding that
(11:50):
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars equates to five cars,
people are thinking, wait, who's buying one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars cars sing per year? And they're thinking, no,
we don't live like that. You must be living well
above your means if you're paying for a car that's
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, Okay, that's right, idiot
(12:11):
or an idiot. That might be eye roll inducing and
it could end there. But instead there are all these
arguments that have gone viral and again these snapshots of
comments about the cost of housing, the cost of medical
people not understanding the simple math and that you're multiplying
it over the average number of times you're paying for
that thing in your lifetime.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
You have a four point four million over the course
of a lifetime is not a lot of money when
you consider all the things that you have to pay
for on a day to day basis. When you say cost,
I mean yeah, you could easily run through four point four.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Million easily, especially if you live in a state like
California or New York. But again, when you think about
the averages and you think about this specific study and
a lifetime cost, it's how many times you're buying into
that specific aspect of the American dream. Housing again, medical car, whatever,
it might be. A vacation, it's not a two hundred
(13:06):
thousand dollars vacation every year. It's a two one hundred
thousand dollars total vacation amount spent. Over the course of
the times that you vacation in your lifetime, you.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Spend more time actually spending money than anything. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
And this story and it's virality again, how viral it'skan
has really revealed that we as Americans pretty much suck
at math.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
We love to spend, we love to spend. Yeah, and
it doesn't match up. The math isn't mathing. And by
the way, it's Emason Prime Day today. It is I
have some things in my basket. Stuff to hurry and
get her. Let's get the last story.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Okay, another day, another viral post sharing misinformation, this one
where to put your important belongings while preparing for Hurricane Milton,
which has in fact touched down, and again, prayers to
everyone in that path. A post is going viral on
Facebook and it's encouraging those in the path of Milton
(14:01):
to store their most important documents and small items such
as appliances or perhaps jewelry or anything that you might
want to hold on to in an actual appliance. Why
is that appliance a dishwasher? And what the post is saying,
and it is a meme, so The information is on
(14:22):
this post and is being shared thousands, hundreds of thousands
of times far and wide around the country. The dishwasher
is said to be waterproof because of the quote air
tight seal that is around the dishwasher once you close it.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
That's like saying you can keep it in your car
because the inside of the car doesn't get wet in
the rain.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
We people can't do math, and they also don't understand
what airtight seal actually means and what waterproof means. And unfortunately,
they're sharing this information and trying to arm people prepare
people for this disaster. So many commenters or on these
memes all across social media. I've seen it on Facebook,
I've seen it on different posts, I've seen it in comments.
(15:05):
It's been everywhere today specifically, and it's very upsetting because
they're leading people astray.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
But well, they just put it in the oven and
keep it warm. I mean put it in the refrigerator
and keep it cold.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
At this point, right many commenters are thanking the original
poster for the information and saying, Okay, I'm gonna do this,
and others are dissuading them so quickly.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
I don't worry about this type of misinformation because if
you're just dumb, then you need to pay the price
for being dumb.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
It's it feels that way, and I empathize with what
you're saying, moh, except for the fact that panic creates
a lot of trust and people are afraid and they
don't know what to do when they're at their You
knows it's here, and oh, I'm using my last bit
of power to use my phone because I'm doom scrolling
and you're.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Angered, and you're on social media farming ways to protect
your most important documents.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Probably one of the last places you should be. But
also it's the good with the bad. Unfortunately a lot
of bad, and the bad is what becomes viral. So
luckily there are commenters really dedicated to dispelling this myth,
and they are posting and sharing like crazy trying to
counter this meme. So I'm watching this unfold in real
time where you'll see the meme and then you'll see
(16:16):
people going at it and saying, do not do this, Please,
do not do this.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
I tried this for Helene and it went badly.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Don't I got this from Facebook or I got this
from Instagram, do not do it? And Fortunately, if you
do a quick Google, Google's AI feature will tell you No,
dishwashers are not waterproof and should not be used to
store valuables in case of flooding. So the algorithm has
changed Google's response or Google's answer to the question our
(16:46):
dishwashers say for your valuables, our dishwasher's waterproof, to actually
reflect all of the interest in flooding due to Hurricane
Milton specifically.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
But again, it has gone viral. It is going viral.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
If you are in the path you know someone who is,
do not share this unless you tell them that it
is absolutely wrong. It is misinformation. We did one like
this a few weeks ago about misinformation, and it really
grinds my gears.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I love America with all my heart. I don't say
that to be flippant or even sarcastic, but I love
her enough to realize that we're also the dumbastation on
the face of the planet by a lot, bye bye
a large Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Absolutely, and we have all the information available to us,
and yet we will regurgitate the things that are wrong
because they are popular. Please do not fall victim to
memes that give information. Always do your fact checking. Do
not share anything without checking the credibility.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
It's Later with Moo Kelly, k if I AM six
forty live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Hugh jack then, yes, Wolverine himself, And if you don't know,
he's much more than an actor, He's an accomplished singer.
He's performed on Broadway in a number of musicals. And
I mentioned that because Hugh Jackman has now set a
twelve show monthly concert series, twelve shows per month at
(18:17):
Radio City Music Hall. Now, if you've seen Deadpool and Wolverine,
according to Deadpool, Wolverine was going to have to hang
around in the Disney Marvel universe until Hugh Jackman was ninety. Well,
if that's true, it might get in a way of
this special. But Hugh Jackman is something that I love
to see because you get to see the real talent
(18:40):
of someone, I should say, the full range of talent
from someone. Hugh Jackman is more than an actor, and
with these concerts you'd get to hear more of him
and see more of him. They're going to begin the
weekend of January twenty fourth, excuse me weekend of January
twenty four and in twenty twenty five, and continue on
(19:01):
select weekends in April, May, June, July, and August. And
I've mentioned Deadpool and Wolverine, but Hugh Jackman announced the
concert series with a social media video which co starred
Ryan Reynolds, and so they are still keeping that relationship alive.
The twelve concerts under the title from New York with Love,
(19:24):
and they're going to be what is termed as a
career retrospective with songs from all of his Broadway and
film musicals. I mentioned The Greatest Showman, but also The
Boy from Oz, The Music Man, and other surprises. This
is something I don't get to New York often, but
if I did get to New York, and I know
Mark Ronner is not a fan of musicals because he
had a bad experience that one time and it ruined
(19:47):
it for him.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
With a bad experience getting dragged to one Andrew Lloyd
Weber show after another. My god, I've still got PTSD
from that, Are you kidding?
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Look? I am not a huge Andrew Lloyd Weber fan either,
but it didn't sound or me on the genre as
a whole. I understand that people are down on musicals,
if only because of The Joker.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
Yeah, that'll do it for you. Have you seen The
Joker yet? Okay, well you're gonna change your tune, buddy boy.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
No, no, no, I'm not because I don't need someone
put it this way. I don't need everyone to tell
me something is bad for me to swim upstream to
see for myself whether it's bad. Oh no, you should experience. No, No,
I'm going to take you at your word. I'm gonna
take Towala at his word. Every single person that I
know who has seen this Joker sequel has said it's
one of the worst movies of all time.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
Your trust and my word and my expertise means the
world to me.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
But you still have to see this. I'll pass. And
I'd rather go see Hugh Jackman in New York and
take my chances there. But if you didn't know Hugh
Jackman talking about the different musicals that he's performed in
also performed Oklahoma on the West End and also off
Broadway in Carousel and and I like seeing actors or
(21:03):
artists more generally when they get to a point in
their career where they can just chase other passions. Now
you can you can say that he may not be
a great singer. I think he's a decent singer, but
he is definitely a great performer. And this is something
that I would be really interested in seeing. Now, if
he does well with this in New York, then there's
(21:26):
a great possibility, I would say even a likelihood that
they would take it on the road and hopefully bring
it to LA And you know how I am about musicals.
We give away tickets to musical theater all the time
here on Later with Moe Kelly, So this is something
if they bring it to California, I definitely check it out.
In fact, here are the specific dates I just found him. Friday,
(21:49):
January twenty fourth, Saturday the twenty fifth, April eighteenth and nineteenth,
May twenty third and twenty fourth, June twentieth and twenty first,
July eighteenth and nineteenth, in August fifteenth and sixteenth, So
they're just doing two shows a month, which probably doesn't
conflict with any other projects that he's working on. And
(22:10):
I guess there's a website from New York with Love
if you want to get tickets, if you happen to
be in the New York area, And yeah, it probably
would have to be weird, my word, the first time
you see Hugh Jackman singing, if you've only known of
him as Wolverine and he's done that role for such
(22:31):
a long time. Some people only know him as that,
but he's had a very accomplished film career prior to that.
But if you only know him as that, it may
seem just a bit odd watching him sing and almost
like remember when we talked about the Marvel musical and
how they did a musical tidbit in Hawkeye and they
(22:51):
turned it into a full blown show. It was strange
because all of the characters are built on this super
hyper folk's masculinity. What have you, So it seemed odd
seeing Captain America air quotes singing and dancing and moving
about the stage. This probably would be similar because you
think Wolverine can sing and dance. Yeah, I would actually
(23:14):
want to see that. So if they bring it to
La I'm actually there and Radio City Music Hall, that's
a venue if you appreciate any type of theater, you
have to visit at least once. When I was working
for the Grammys, we stayed in New York for about
almost a month because it was at Radio City Music Hall.
It's one of those venues you feel something when you
(23:36):
walk in. You feel the history and the enormity of
not only New York but New York style theater. So
it's not just who is performing, it's absolutely where he's performing.
So Wolverine, I'll call him Wolverine, But Hugh Jackman has
set a twelve show monthly concert series at Radio City
(23:57):
Music Hall. Definitely check it out.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
And before we get out of here, I talk about
how Mark Ronner is part black. You think, are you kidding? No,
I'm not kidding. He's part black. And when I saw
this story about Liv Tyler, Stephen Tyler's daughter Stephen Tyler
of Aerosmith, Liv Tyler was going about this journey of
(24:26):
finding her roots, learning more about her family, her great
grandparents four times removed, learning about where they were from,
and she suspected but then found out that she has
African American relatives. And there's also video of it. When
she found out and when she told her father, Steven Tyler,
(24:49):
listen to this.
Speaker 6 (24:50):
I was interested when I saw the picture because he
did look very fair skinned, and his father, Robert, was
part African and part white from New York being a
person of this time era that we're living, and now
we're all mixed, and everyone I know for my entire
life has come from all over the world, because it's
(25:13):
normal for my world. But I would imagine at that
time that was definitely a big deal, you know, and
definitely seems to have affected how he lived his life
and the choices he made. I feel like he was
very secretive about it, and I would imagine that was
part of just having to deal with the world and
(25:34):
to survive. I feel so excited to see my father
and share all of this with him. I think it'll
probably be very powerful for him. This morning, I'm in Skuylerville,
and I've asked my dad to meet me here so
that I can fill him in on all my adventures
and everything that I've learned about our family. I feel
I'm so excited that you came all the way here
(25:55):
to be with me so I could share with you.
We've always talked about your allian side of all musicians,
but you never knew about your mom's side. That was
a mystery. So we chased the family tree back to
my four times great grandfather Robert Elliott, who is your
great great great grandfather. Robert Elliott was part African American.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
I knew it. I knew it, Thank you God. I
always felt akin to black people.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
It's a weird response. It's just kind of weird.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
I imagine not everybody would have the same response.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
This is a weird response, and not expect.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
That I always felt akin to black people.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
I think you've been a kinship, but you know, yeah,
but who's really judging.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
A kin to black people? Always? Did you know it?
I had no idea, but I mean I felt it
my whole life.
Speaker 6 (26:56):
Amazing. They sort of think that Robert Elliott Senior might
have been an indentured servant. Wow, he or was in
the War of eighteen twelve.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
And he was a drummer. Oh that's good.
Speaker 6 (27:13):
When you were a drummer first, right, was that your
first instrument? So then Robert Elliott had a son named
George Washington Elliott, and we found that he had enlisted
in the Civil War and he signed up as a
white man. He was a drummer in the Civil War.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
I'm so loving this. Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
So there you have it, Steven Tyler, lips and all
part black? Is that inappropriate?
Speaker 5 (27:44):
Not coming from you? I mean maybe if I said it,
it might be the half black.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
You can say it now.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
Yeah, this opens all sorts of new doors for me.
By the way, we should clarify the people that me
being half black is honorary. We don't have any DNA evidence,
but I wouldn't be so prized. Actually I wouldn't be either, Mark.
And why do you say that. I'm just saying I
can see a little kinship. Huh.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Yeah, I felt kinship to you. So I'll tell you what.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
When I studied in Scotland, I had spent the whole
summer as a lifeguard, so I had a pretty deep
tan going there. You would not be shocked at some
of the things that I heard and was called when
I got to Scotland.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Yeah, yeah, it wouldn't surprise me. I'm not surprised. We
called that like Tuesday in our lives.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I mean, congratulations to Stephen Tyler.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
I'm glad that he's thrilled at everything. It was just
a weird response, so like, thank god.
Speaker 6 (28:51):
Robert Elliott was part African American.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
I knew I knew it. Thank you God.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Welcome to the club. Brother. Now he can go around
and you know, and go to any club he wants.
Speaker 7 (29:10):
But see, I think I take his saying that because
I believe throughout his life he's always had people comment
on his lips and I've heard how he has always
heard people make comparisons and things like that in a
derogatory matters. I think for him, this is kind of
like thank God that this is part of my genetics.
(29:33):
And I've always felt this, and it's like it's not
just it's not just something that I thought, it's something
that's real. And I'm glad that you found this out
and it's proof. I didn't take it as like, again
the phrasing and I said it was weird.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
It's weird.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
Yeah, but thank you God.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
I mean, do you want the burden too? Or do
you just want the DNA? You know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (29:58):
I just thank you God.
Speaker 7 (30:00):
I see I can look at him though, beyond the lips,
there is something in him and lives.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
His skin tone, yeah, all his skin tone. I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, Well, congratulations,
welcome to the family. Steve Tyler. Liv Tyler, you're both
invited to the cookout and Mark. Well, Mark is already there.
You know, he had come to this realization a long
time ago. It's rather recent and new for living. Steven.
Speaker 7 (30:27):
Yes, we just need Mark to go on and take
the full on DNA test. We can find out which
part of the family is he from. Yeah, mother or
father's side.
Speaker 5 (30:37):
I am one percent comfortable in my skin as a
half black man.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
It's later with Mo Kelly. We're live everywhere in the
iHeartRadio out.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Do you think we've got all the answers, Well, we've
got news for you, chief.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
No, seriously, we've got news right now. KF I'm kost
HD two.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
Los Angeles, Orange County, everywhere on the younger radio
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI A M six forty Now Kelly Show, Social.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Media, Facebook, Kids, to X Ticktalk, Sirelad, Viral Load, the
Viral Load, arliy kf I mo Kelly Live Everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app. And now I turn it over to
Tiffany Hops with the viral Load.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Good evening, mister mo Kelly, you like I have dogs? Yes,
you walk your dogs in your neighborhood occasionally every day.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
What kind of so do I? What kind of leash
do you use? I use I don't know the name
of it, but it's is a brand, but kind it
is a dual dog leash were I have one handle
and it has both of them. About that, I don't
know how to describe her. No worries.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
You know the retractable leashes, the kind that you can
extend or the dog can move and extend the length
of the leash. Well, there's a young woman named Daniella
a brew and what happened to her is tragic but
also a very cautionary tale. So Daniella is twenty three,
she lives in Florida, and last year and this has
(01:23):
gone viral.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
This year. That's why we're talking about it.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Last year, Daniella was walking her sixty pound husky. A husky, Okay,
you know anything about huskies like I do. They are
very energetic, they're rambunctious. They seem to have their own
plan about things. And that's what Danielle's dog was doing.
She's walking the dog in the neighborhood. The dog spots
a cat. Her dog takes off while it's on this
(01:48):
retractable leash. Daniella has walked the dog for year, for
the year she's owned the dog. The dog is well trained,
but the dog follows its instincts and takes off after
this cat.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Daniella keeps control of the leash.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
However, the power from the dog, the weight, just everything
combined caused the leash to break and the buckle part,
the metal part at the end that you clasp into
the collar or the harness, came back, hitting Daniella in
the eye full force, full speed. It not only punctured
(02:23):
her retina, but it caused irre irreversible damage to the
tune of having to have her eye all together removed.
Daniella is now speaking about the incident and using her
TikTok platform to give that cautionary tale to encourage dog
owners or any other owner of any animal you might
(02:45):
put on a retractable leash, cause I know some people
do that with their cats as well.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
We have one in home. We don't use it often,
but we have one, and I have one.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
And this really scared me to be very careful about
that kind of backspin or that the fact that it
can break or dislodge and then come back and hit you.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
It may hit your dog as well. I wonder, and
I'm sympathetic, but I wonder whether this is more a
case of owner freak accident. Freak accident, you know, because yes,
everything can be dangerous in a given situation. Yes, there's
that spring loaded action of that leash, and of course
when it has that middle hook at the end, if
(03:24):
it starts flying around, yes it can be dangerous. I
think it's more bad luck than anything.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
And here's the thing that could possibly be true, the
idea of it just being an isolated incident if Danielle
hadn't shared it to her social media last year and
this happened in the fall of last year, so not
too too long body, but a little less than a
year ago, and since then, her followers and other commentarys
have shared similar stories. Unfortunately, it is not an isolated incident,
(03:51):
and it is something that occurs far too often, especially
according to emergency rooms who deal with this sort of
thing regularly.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Is there any similarity in brain just that style of life,
just that style of leash?
Speaker 3 (04:03):
And so what's being suggested is that if you have
a dog that is of any significant weight. So you
and I both have kind of smallish dogs. If you
have a dog small, mine's even SMALLERUAA and a terrier.
But if you have a dog that's twenty thirty forty
pounds or more, or at least is strong enough to
be able to break that retractable leash, perhaps go to
a standard leash, a rope leash, whatever it may be,
(04:25):
so that you do not get that recoil effect.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
All right, next story.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Now, this story appeals to the murder mystery officionado in
all of us. Mark, get ready, get ready, Mark. I
love a good murder mystery. I watch anything that has
to do with murder mystery, and I find myself wanting
to be an amateur investigator.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
I always wanted to be one.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
So this speaks to my sentiments and apparently also to
millions of other people, because this story has gone viral
again millions of times over. There's a woman. Her name
is Katie Sandtree, young mom, lives in Ohio, and Katie
Sandtrie had a modest following on her TikTok up until
about a week ago. She had a few thousand people
(05:11):
who were following Katie's day to day exploits and just
her day to day life and her musings about her
recent miscarriage. Katie was using her TikTok platform to encourage
people in their pursuit of fertility. Well, in the last week,
Katie's objective has shifted completely and she's doing something she
(05:34):
never thought she'd be doing. Here's why. Katie and her
husband were digging holes in their backyard to put up
a fence. Very mundane, very normal. In one of the
holes that they dug, a few feet down, they found
what looked to be a piece of or corner of
a carpet of some kind. Katie was able to kind
(05:55):
of pinpoint and say, it looks like a shag carpet. Well,
they didn't take the carpet out. Instead, Katie went to
her TikTok and said, hey, guys, you guys follow me
about my day to day things. This is what happened.
We found this carpet, find it kind of odd. Wonder
what's going on down there. Check back tomorrow and I'll
let you know. She goes to sleep. She wakes up
(06:17):
the next morning. She says that sometime in the middle
of the night, her screen on her computer was completely shattered.
Her desk that she works from was moved to a
different place in the room and ransacked. She says her
husband couldn't have done it, her child was too young,
and she knows she didn't do it, and there was
no intruder. So Katie goes back to her TikTok, kind
(06:39):
of makes a lighthearted joke and says, hey, this is
what happened. Maybe it's quote the ghost in the carpet
or the ghost in the rug.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Well, her TikTok blows.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Up and goes from six thousand followers to tens of
thousands of followers and hours because now people are sharing, sharing, sharing,
and they're telling her Katie go to the police.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Katie go out there and dig it up.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Everyone's musing and has their ideas as to what it
could possibly be.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Katie calls the police.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
They come out and check, don't only find anything, kind
of push her to the side. Katie goes on for
the next couple of days, really interested in what's there.
The police get wind of the virility of her story
on TikTok because again it shared. Now it's hundreds of
thousands of times. Now her following count has gone from
six thousand to over two hundred thousand. People again are
(07:29):
musing about what it could possibly be. The police taken interest.
They come back to her property, tape it off. They
tell her we are going to treat this like a
homicide investigation. They bring in cadaver dogs. Katie's live on TikTok.
She's broadcasting live and as she's there, she sees the
two cadaver dogs sit down on the hole where it was.
(07:54):
They signaled that there was something, so the police excavated
the carpet.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
It's roll hold up. They take it away.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
They tell her doesn't mean there's anything found, doesn't mean
there's a body or anything, but we're gonna use this
as evidence. We're going to investigate further. It is now
an active investigation.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
It is an.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Active mystery murder. We don't know, but there's something there.
And Katie's entire platform is dedicated to the unveiling of
what this could be.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
What a story all because she went digging in the backyard, All.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Because she went digging in the backyard to plant or
plant to put a fence in.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
You never know, So there could be an actual body
connected to that carpet. There could be.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Katie did some research on the home that she lives
in with her husband. There was one or two there
were two prior owners, a couple who left the home
and went into a nursing home. So nothing really nefarious
there that they know of. But of course the questions
are why would this carpet be rolled up and buried
in the backyard and it was under a specific tree.
So there's all these clues, and again all the investigators
(08:59):
online are jumping in given their ideas.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
It's an unfolding story, all because of social media, all
because of social media. It's Later with mo Kelly, Part
two of the viral load when we come back.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Now it's My Room Tiffany Live on Campile So in
mo o' kelly, she'll talk about the tough kiss on
social media. Reload with Tiffany Hubbs cam I am six
forty now for part two of the viral Load with
(09:41):
Tiffany Hops.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
There was a study by research group Investipedia that found
that the estimated lifetime let me say that again, the
estimated lifetime, so over the entirety of your life, your
life span be it sixty five or seventy five or
eighty five years or whatever, now costs four point four
(10:05):
million dollars. Kind of speaks to what you were talking
about earlier, mo about the best places to retire in
the country. However, this statistic or this information isn't groundbreaking.
There are always studies about how much the cost of
living will be for people. What's especially interesting is what
of this story has gone viral and it's all of
(10:28):
the commentary about this, these these details in this story.
So Investipedia had a graph and in that graph they
showed housing, cars, vacations, college, medical and other expenses that
we use throughout the year.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Okay, in any given year.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
But again, the estimated lifetime total is what the graph showed.
So it wasn't the cost of one car, one time,
it was how many cars on average and American buys
throughout their lifetime.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
How many have you owned so far?
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Mo?
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Would you say, I think this is my fourth car? Okay? So,
and you may have another car to in you depending
on what you want to live, right, So rush me.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Let's say you own five cars from over the course
of your lifetime, and let's say you buy an average
priced car, which is about thirty thousand dollars. Now let's
just say, okay, okay, do the math thirty times five is.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
One hundred and fifty thousand.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
So one hundred and fifty thousand is what appeared on
the graph. So on going around there, right, But people
did not understand that this was a lifetime cost. What
people started commenting in mass and being screenshotted and shared
that has now gone viral. Are lots and lots of
misunderstandings again about the math. So instead of understanding that
(11:50):
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars equates to five cars,
people are thinking, wait, who's buying one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars cars sing per year? And they're thinking, no,
we don't live like that. You must be living well
above your means if you're paying for a car that's
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, Okay, that's right, idiot
(12:11):
or an idiot. That might be eye roll inducing and
it could end there. But instead there are all these
arguments that have gone viral and again these snapshots of
comments about the cost of housing, the cost of medical
people not understanding the simple math and that you're multiplying
it over the average number of times you're paying for
that thing in your lifetime.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
You have a four point four million over the course
of a lifetime is not a lot of money when
you consider all the things that you have to pay
for on a day to day basis. When you say cost,
I mean yeah, you could easily run through four point four.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Million easily, especially if you live in a state like
California or New York. But again, when you think about
the averages and you think about this specific study and
a lifetime cost, it's how many times you're buying into
that specific aspect of the American dream. Housing again, medical car, whatever,
it might be. A vacation, it's not a two hundred
(13:06):
thousand dollars vacation every year. It's a two one hundred
thousand dollars total vacation amount spent. Over the course of
the times that you vacation in your lifetime, you.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Spend more time actually spending money than anything. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
And this story and it's virality again, how viral it'skan
has really revealed that we as Americans pretty much suck
at math.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
We love to spend, we love to spend. Yeah, and
it doesn't match up. The math isn't mathing. And by
the way, it's Emason Prime Day today. It is I
have some things in my basket. Stuff to hurry and
get her. Let's get the last story.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Okay, another day, another viral post sharing misinformation, this one
where to put your important belongings while preparing for Hurricane Milton,
which has in fact touched down, and again, prayers to
everyone in that path. A post is going viral on
Facebook and it's encouraging those in the path of Milton
(14:01):
to store their most important documents and small items such
as appliances or perhaps jewelry or anything that you might
want to hold on to in an actual appliance. Why
is that appliance a dishwasher? And what the post is saying,
and it is a meme, so The information is on
(14:22):
this post and is being shared thousands, hundreds of thousands
of times far and wide around the country. The dishwasher
is said to be waterproof because of the quote air
tight seal that is around the dishwasher once you close it.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
That's like saying you can keep it in your car
because the inside of the car doesn't get wet in
the rain.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
We people can't do math, and they also don't understand
what airtight seal actually means and what waterproof means. And unfortunately,
they're sharing this information and trying to arm people prepare
people for this disaster. So many commenters or on these
memes all across social media. I've seen it on Facebook,
I've seen it on different posts, I've seen it in comments.
(15:05):
It's been everywhere today specifically, and it's very upsetting because
they're leading people astray.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
But well, they just put it in the oven and
keep it warm. I mean put it in the refrigerator
and keep it cold.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
At this point, right many commenters are thanking the original
poster for the information and saying, Okay, I'm gonna do this,
and others are dissuading them so quickly.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
I don't worry about this type of misinformation because if
you're just dumb, then you need to pay the price
for being dumb.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
It's it feels that way, and I empathize with what
you're saying, moh, except for the fact that panic creates
a lot of trust and people are afraid and they
don't know what to do when they're at their You
knows it's here, and oh, I'm using my last bit
of power to use my phone because I'm doom scrolling
and you're.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Angered, and you're on social media farming ways to protect
your most important documents.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Probably one of the last places you should be. But
also it's the good with the bad. Unfortunately a lot
of bad, and the bad is what becomes viral. So
luckily there are commenters really dedicated to dispelling this myth,
and they are posting and sharing like crazy trying to
counter this meme. So I'm watching this unfold in real
time where you'll see the meme and then you'll see
(16:16):
people going at it and saying, do not do this, Please,
do not do this.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
I tried this for Helene and it went badly.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Don't I got this from Facebook or I got this
from Instagram, do not do it? And Fortunately, if you
do a quick Google, Google's AI feature will tell you No,
dishwashers are not waterproof and should not be used to
store valuables in case of flooding. So the algorithm has
changed Google's response or Google's answer to the question our
(16:46):
dishwashers say for your valuables, our dishwasher's waterproof, to actually
reflect all of the interest in flooding due to Hurricane
Milton specifically.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
But again, it has gone viral. It is going viral.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
If you are in the path you know someone who is,
do not share this unless you tell them that it
is absolutely wrong. It is misinformation. We did one like
this a few weeks ago about misinformation, and it really
grinds my gears.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I love America with all my heart. I don't say
that to be flippant or even sarcastic, but I love
her enough to realize that we're also the dumbastation on
the face of the planet by a lot, bye bye
a large Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Absolutely, and we have all the information available to us,
and yet we will regurgitate the things that are wrong
because they are popular. Please do not fall victim to
memes that give information. Always do your fact checking. Do
not share anything without checking the credibility.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
It's Later with Moo Kelly, k if I AM six
forty live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Hugh jack then, yes, Wolverine himself, And if you don't know,
he's much more than an actor, He's an accomplished singer.
He's performed on Broadway in a number of musicals. And
I mentioned that because Hugh Jackman has now set a
twelve show monthly concert series, twelve shows per month at
(18:17):
Radio City Music Hall. Now, if you've seen Deadpool and Wolverine,
according to Deadpool, Wolverine was going to have to hang
around in the Disney Marvel universe until Hugh Jackman was ninety. Well,
if that's true, it might get in a way of
this special. But Hugh Jackman is something that I love
to see because you get to see the real talent
(18:40):
of someone, I should say, the full range of talent
from someone. Hugh Jackman is more than an actor, and
with these concerts you'd get to hear more of him
and see more of him. They're going to begin the
weekend of January twenty fourth, excuse me weekend of January
twenty four and in twenty twenty five, and continue on
(19:01):
select weekends in April, May, June, July, and August. And
I've mentioned Deadpool and Wolverine, but Hugh Jackman announced the
concert series with a social media video which co starred
Ryan Reynolds, and so they are still keeping that relationship alive.
The twelve concerts under the title from New York with Love,
(19:24):
and they're going to be what is termed as a
career retrospective with songs from all of his Broadway and
film musicals. I mentioned The Greatest Showman, but also The
Boy from Oz, The Music Man, and other surprises. This
is something I don't get to New York often, but
if I did get to New York, and I know
Mark Ronner is not a fan of musicals because he
had a bad experience that one time and it ruined
(19:47):
it for him.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
With a bad experience getting dragged to one Andrew Lloyd
Weber show after another. My god, I've still got PTSD
from that, Are you kidding?
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Look? I am not a huge Andrew Lloyd Weber fan either,
but it didn't sound or me on the genre as
a whole. I understand that people are down on musicals,
if only because of The Joker.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
Yeah, that'll do it for you. Have you seen The
Joker yet? Okay, well you're gonna change your tune, buddy boy.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
No, no, no, I'm not because I don't need someone
put it this way. I don't need everyone to tell
me something is bad for me to swim upstream to
see for myself whether it's bad. Oh no, you should experience. No, No,
I'm going to take you at your word. I'm gonna
take Towala at his word. Every single person that I
know who has seen this Joker sequel has said it's
one of the worst movies of all time.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
Your trust and my word and my expertise means the
world to me.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
But you still have to see this. I'll pass. And
I'd rather go see Hugh Jackman in New York and
take my chances there. But if you didn't know Hugh
Jackman talking about the different musicals that he's performed in
also performed Oklahoma on the West End and also off
Broadway in Carousel and and I like seeing actors or
(21:03):
artists more generally when they get to a point in
their career where they can just chase other passions. Now
you can you can say that he may not be
a great singer. I think he's a decent singer, but
he is definitely a great performer. And this is something
that I would be really interested in seeing. Now, if
he does well with this in New York, then there's
(21:26):
a great possibility, I would say even a likelihood that
they would take it on the road and hopefully bring
it to LA And you know how I am about musicals.
We give away tickets to musical theater all the time
here on Later with Moe Kelly, So this is something
if they bring it to California, I definitely check it out.
In fact, here are the specific dates I just found him. Friday,
(21:49):
January twenty fourth, Saturday the twenty fifth, April eighteenth and nineteenth,
May twenty third and twenty fourth, June twentieth and twenty first,
July eighteenth and nineteenth, in August fifteenth and sixteenth, So
they're just doing two shows a month, which probably doesn't
conflict with any other projects that he's working on. And
(22:10):
I guess there's a website from New York with Love
if you want to get tickets, if you happen to
be in the New York area, And yeah, it probably
would have to be weird, my word, the first time
you see Hugh Jackman singing, if you've only known of
him as Wolverine and he's done that role for such
(22:31):
a long time. Some people only know him as that,
but he's had a very accomplished film career prior to that.
But if you only know him as that, it may
seem just a bit odd watching him sing and almost
like remember when we talked about the Marvel musical and
how they did a musical tidbit in Hawkeye and they
(22:51):
turned it into a full blown show. It was strange
because all of the characters are built on this super
hyper folk's masculinity. What have you, So it seemed odd
seeing Captain America air quotes singing and dancing and moving
about the stage. This probably would be similar because you
think Wolverine can sing and dance. Yeah, I would actually
(23:14):
want to see that. So if they bring it to
La I'm actually there and Radio City Music Hall, that's
a venue if you appreciate any type of theater, you
have to visit at least once. When I was working
for the Grammys, we stayed in New York for about
almost a month because it was at Radio City Music Hall.
It's one of those venues you feel something when you
(23:36):
walk in. You feel the history and the enormity of
not only New York but New York style theater. So
it's not just who is performing, it's absolutely where he's performing.
So Wolverine, I'll call him Wolverine, But Hugh Jackman has
set a twelve show monthly concert series at Radio City
(23:57):
Music Hall. Definitely check it out.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
And before we get out of here, I talk about
how Mark Ronner is part black. You think, are you kidding? No,
I'm not kidding. He's part black. And when I saw
this story about Liv Tyler, Stephen Tyler's daughter Stephen Tyler
of Aerosmith, Liv Tyler was going about this journey of
(24:26):
finding her roots, learning more about her family, her great
grandparents four times removed, learning about where they were from,
and she suspected but then found out that she has
African American relatives. And there's also video of it. When
she found out and when she told her father, Steven Tyler,
(24:49):
listen to this.
Speaker 6 (24:50):
I was interested when I saw the picture because he
did look very fair skinned, and his father, Robert, was
part African and part white from New York being a
person of this time era that we're living, and now
we're all mixed, and everyone I know for my entire
life has come from all over the world, because it's
(25:13):
normal for my world. But I would imagine at that
time that was definitely a big deal, you know, and
definitely seems to have affected how he lived his life
and the choices he made. I feel like he was
very secretive about it, and I would imagine that was
part of just having to deal with the world and
(25:34):
to survive. I feel so excited to see my father
and share all of this with him. I think it'll
probably be very powerful for him. This morning, I'm in Skuylerville,
and I've asked my dad to meet me here so
that I can fill him in on all my adventures
and everything that I've learned about our family. I feel
I'm so excited that you came all the way here
(25:55):
to be with me so I could share with you.
We've always talked about your allian side of all musicians,
but you never knew about your mom's side. That was
a mystery. So we chased the family tree back to
my four times great grandfather Robert Elliott, who is your
great great great grandfather. Robert Elliott was part African American.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
I knew it. I knew it, Thank you God. I
always felt akin to black people.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
It's a weird response. It's just kind of weird.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
I imagine not everybody would have the same response.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
This is a weird response, and not expect.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
That I always felt akin to black people.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
I think you've been a kinship, but you know, yeah,
but who's really judging.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
A kin to black people? Always? Did you know it?
I had no idea, but I mean I felt it
my whole life.
Speaker 6 (26:56):
Amazing. They sort of think that Robert Elliott Senior might
have been an indentured servant. Wow, he or was in
the War of eighteen twelve.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
And he was a drummer. Oh that's good.
Speaker 6 (27:13):
When you were a drummer first, right, was that your
first instrument? So then Robert Elliott had a son named
George Washington Elliott, and we found that he had enlisted
in the Civil War and he signed up as a
white man. He was a drummer in the Civil War.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
I'm so loving this. Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
So there you have it, Steven Tyler, lips and all
part black? Is that inappropriate?
Speaker 5 (27:44):
Not coming from you? I mean maybe if I said it,
it might be the half black.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
You can say it now.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
Yeah, this opens all sorts of new doors for me.
By the way, we should clarify the people that me
being half black is honorary. We don't have any DNA evidence,
but I wouldn't be so prized. Actually I wouldn't be either, Mark.
And why do you say that. I'm just saying I
can see a little kinship. Huh.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Yeah, I felt kinship to you. So I'll tell you what.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
When I studied in Scotland, I had spent the whole
summer as a lifeguard, so I had a pretty deep
tan going there. You would not be shocked at some
of the things that I heard and was called when
I got to Scotland.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Yeah, yeah, it wouldn't surprise me. I'm not surprised. We
called that like Tuesday in our lives.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I mean, congratulations to Stephen Tyler.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
I'm glad that he's thrilled at everything. It was just
a weird response, so like, thank god.
Speaker 6 (28:51):
Robert Elliott was part African American.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
I knew I knew it. Thank you God.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Welcome to the club. Brother. Now he can go around
and you know, and go to any club he wants.
Speaker 7 (29:10):
But see, I think I take his saying that because
I believe throughout his life he's always had people comment
on his lips and I've heard how he has always
heard people make comparisons and things like that in a
derogatory matters. I think for him, this is kind of
like thank God that this is part of my genetics.
(29:33):
And I've always felt this, and it's like it's not
just it's not just something that I thought, it's something
that's real. And I'm glad that you found this out
and it's proof. I didn't take it as like, again
the phrasing and I said it was weird.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
It's weird.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
Yeah, but thank you God.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
I mean, do you want the burden too? Or do
you just want the DNA? You know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (29:58):
I just thank you God.
Speaker 7 (30:00):
I see I can look at him though, beyond the lips,
there is something in him and lives.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
His skin tone, yeah, all his skin tone. I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, Well, congratulations,
welcome to the family. Steve Tyler. Liv Tyler, you're both
invited to the cookout and Mark. Well, Mark is already there.
You know, he had come to this realization a long
time ago. It's rather recent and new for living. Steven.
Speaker 7 (30:27):
Yes, we just need Mark to go on and take
the full on DNA test. We can find out which
part of the family is he from. Yeah, mother or
father's side.
Speaker 5 (30:37):
I am one percent comfortable in my skin as a
half black man.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
It's later with Mo Kelly. We're live everywhere in the
iHeartRadio out.
Speaker 1 (30:48):

got news for you, chief.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
No, seriously, we've got news right now. KF I'm kost
HD two.
