Speaker 1 (00:22):
KFI. It's Later with Bo Kelly. We're live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app. I want to send a special shout
out to all the veterans out there across the different
service branches, all the veterans that buy family and yours.
Thank you not only for your service, your commitment, your dedication,
and some veterans who are no longer with us want
(00:46):
to acknowledge their contributions as well. Yes, I know Veterans
Day is not Memorial Day, but still it can be
a solemn occasion for sums. We think about the sacrifices
which have been made over the years, some large than
some small, but still sacrifices. Nonetheless, as we bring close
(01:06):
to a close this Veteran's Day, we're going to talk
about that there are some last minute Veterans Day deals,
even though the day's not over. If you're a veteran,
we're gonna let you know about where you can get
some free food, cheaper food, just some good food, and
also the ten best California hospitals. I have a sneaking
suspicion that producer of the show to Walla Sharp may
(01:28):
have some first hand knowledge, and I'm not trying to
be funny. He knows a little something about the healthcare
system here in California and also some of the best
and even worst hospitals.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Is that right, Well as far as worst ones, Yeah,
I'm gott to know the worst. And get ready.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Gas prices just may be going higher again again.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Yes, again, they can go higher.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
They can get worse, and it's something specific to California.
If you don't like the government here in California, well
I'm going to give you another reason to really really
dislike it. And I was listening to Mark Rodert in
the news break and then I realized, so, what's this
(02:13):
about rain?
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Well, we have a twenty percent chance of it tonight
and then we've got a little lower chance of it
Thursday through Saturday. So what you're gonna have to do
is go home and stand outside for a while.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Well, so I might get wet this week, you might
become a slight bit moist. Yeah. Who that sounds wrong.
Nobody likes that word, do they? No?
Speaker 3 (02:34):
No, I've never understood why. But just accept the moisture
and be done with it. Okay, cake can be moist.
Someone left the cake out in the rain. Is that
where you're going? No, I'm not talking about Donna Summer.
Now you're not talking about Richard Harris? Is what you meant?
Speaker 4 (02:49):
No?
Speaker 1 (02:50):
I met Donna Summer? Okay, macaw the par Okay, it's melting.
Do you not know that music reference? I suspect I
know it better than you. Oh, oh, well, go ahead
and say it. That's one thing I'm not gonna do.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Nice, Try nice, try to Okay, No, as far as
moist goes, if it's not food, you're in dangerous territory.
You're probably right about that. We probably just nauseated half
our listeners.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Oh, speaking of nauseated half our listeners, let's nauseate the
other half. Did you hear about those wicked dolls that
got pulled?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Sure? Did?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (03:30):
How do you accidentally slip in a pornographic reference on dolls?
It can't be a mistake, right, it can't be accidental,
poor uncle Wald. There is no way you could accidentally
drop a pornographic reference in either a Disney movie or
(03:51):
a Disney musical or Disney playset.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Well, is there nobody around to check these things, like
a final copy editor or anything like that?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
There are, which will be my point. It has to
be intentional. You can't accidentally do that. That's someone who's
trying to do it.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Or the individual in charge of adding websites to packages
was like moonlighting and looking at some porn while at
work and just copying and paste all the wrong link.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Yeah, meant to copy and paste the link for private use,
and evidently you know on the on the clipboard, your
digital clipboard, it would just happened to be the last link.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Well, at least check your work. Yeah, you want to
keep all that stuff separated from what I understand. Between
you and twelve I tell you it's Later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
When we come back, we're going to give your last
minute and I do mean last minute Veterans Day deals.
If you want to get some food for yourself or
a veteran in your family, we'll talk about that next.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
And as we begin to wind down Veterans Day, it's
still the dinner hour and it's not too late for
you or someone else in your family to go help
honor our military heroes. And there are a bunch of
free bees and more which are still available not only
today but after today, Applebee's is serving free meals for
(05:17):
veterans Today on it's actually since seventeenth consecutive year, apple
Bee's will be offering veterans, active duty, military reserves, and
National Guard members a special complimentary dinner. They can choose
from some of the restaurant's most popular entrees, the classic
bacon cheeseburger, six ounce top sirloin, chicken tenders, platters, double
(05:38):
crunch shrimp Fiesta, lime chicken, Oriental Chicken Salad, or three
cheese chicken penny. Veterans will also get a five dollars
bounce back card for a future visit within a three
week redemption window. I haven't been to Applebee's in years.
Are they still around in many places? I don't see
them anywhere.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
No, no, But a long, long time ago, I briefly
dated what they call him, Apple Buddy.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Wait a minute, you're gonna have to explain this. Is
this like a friends would benefit situation or what?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
No?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
One, No.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
I was way back when I lived in Indiana, was
working at a newspaper there, and a nice lady worked
at Applebee's. And that's what they call them, apple buddies.
Apple buddies, Yeah, not apple bottom.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
That's enough.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Moving right on, Let's go to BJ's restaurant in brew House,
Oh God, free Puzuki. Service Members who dine in on
Veterans Day will receive a free pezuki, a cookie baked
in a large cast iron skillet. Veterans and active duty
military members can also get a free appetizer on a
future visit. Between November twelfth, tomorrow and the end of
(06:49):
the calendar year, free Veterans shrimp and chips at Red Lobster.
They're still in business. Yeah, yeah, I just want to
make sure because the news changes every week of business bankruptcy.
They're back to thank veterans, active duty military, and reservists
for their service. Red Lobster is offering free veteran shrimp
(07:10):
and chips six Walt's favorite shrimp serve with cocktail sauce
and ketchup French flies and coalslaw just today. Guests only
need to show a valid military ID or proof of
service to redeem this dining in only offer not to go. Additionally,
Red Lobster shows appreciation for veterans every day by offering
ten percent off their check when dining in restaurant with
(07:33):
proof of service or valid military ID. How about a tattoo,
like an airborne tattoo. That's probably not valid military ID. Okay,
just looking for clarity here, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know.
I don't know if that would qualify. I don't know
if you could like go up to an MP and
say here's my ID, and I don't know if that's
going to be enough.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Thank you for that. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
I'm just guestimating water Burger and I had my first
water Burger a few years ago and it was my last.
I'm just saying I'm an in and out. But if
you happen to like Whataburger, they're serving veterans in active
military free coffee all year this Veteran's Day. Whataburger is
saying thank you to the men and women who have
(08:12):
served and continue to serve our country with a free
sixteen ounce hot or iced coffee.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Wait a minute, Wait a minute, A Burger place is
offering veterans ice coffee.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
You caught that.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Right, I was thinking the same thing, right, Okay, not
a Burger coffee, because we all go to Whatterburger for coffee,
of course, ice coffee. Now I can understand if we're
like dunkin donuts because you go there to get donuts
and a coffee.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yes, I went.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
And now I was saying, I went to Waterburger a
few years ago, and it was in Texas. It was
the first time I'd ever been to Waterburger. I was
so underwhelmed. And I say that to say it tracks
that Waterburger is offering coffee for our veterans.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
That it just didn't. The burger was.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Dry, it was nothing special. I had heard, Oh whatater Burger. Yeah,
you gotta taste Waterburger. It's great. It's better than Shakeshack,
it's better than in and Out, it's better than fat Burger.
And I said, okay, we'll see and I ate one.
I said, never again, did you try the coffee? Won't
wait for that one. I think he earned that. That
was a quick callback. We have no time to make
(09:22):
him fast. He's slow on a drum.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Tonight, life is short.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Starting today, veterans and active duty armedforces members in uniform
or with a valid ID not a tattoo can stop
by any dining room at Waterburger and grab their free
coffee all day.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
All year long, all year long. Mark do not mock them.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
And speaking of in and out, free meal for military
at in and out Burger. See here's the difference. Waterburger
gave you coffee in and out. They give you the
good stuff, in other words, the thing that they're known
for selling.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Correct.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
I see today veterans, active duty, military, reserve and now
sational Guard members can enjoy a complimentary meal, not coffee,
a meal including any burger, fries and beverage on in
and out Burger's menu.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
It's nice to see it on a menu.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
It's yours as a veteran with proof of military service,
of course.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
See now that's how you do it. The other place
do you get?
Speaker 3 (10:19):
You get some free condiments too, fiximmos, little packets.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Coffee, I don't know, you might have to pay for
the sugar. Okay, in a half and half freeze.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Splendor for VETSA krispy.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Kreme just talking about donuts.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Krispy Kreme serves free coffee and a donut for Veterans Day.
See they at least give you what you would come
there for. Normally, all locations, all Krispy Kreme locations will
offer veterans in active military a free small hot or
iced coffee along with the donut of their choice. Nice
Buffalo Wild Wings free boneless wings for veterans. Veterans and
(10:57):
active duty service members who present their value ID will
get a free order of ten, not two, not five,
but ten boneless wings and fries just for today. The
offer is only for dine in customers and Buffalo Wild
Wings Go locations and are included for walking orders at
the counter. Johnny Rocketts and I am a new fan
(11:19):
of Johnny Rockets just because of the eight to twelve
milkshakes I had on the cruise over Labor Day, and
they were all cookies and cream.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
They were glorious, but Johnny Rockets.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
To salute veterans in active military, the restaurant chain will
offer a free single burger.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
See how that's done. It's a burger place.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
They give you a free burger on Veterans Day with
the purchase of any drink or shake. Just today, when
dining in with a veteran or military ID, or for
those wearing a military uniform, David Busters, Veterans and active
duty military will get a free entree up to twenty dollars.
(12:00):
That's what I'm talking about, David Busters exactly. Honor our veterans,
don't be cheap. Free entree up to twenty dollars plus
a ten dollars power card today only, and they also
get fifteen percent off all food and beverages purchased every day,
year round with a valid veteran or military ID.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
They're not talking about some stinking coffee. This is how
you do it.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Fifteen percent off round Table Pizza and I like roundtable pizza.
Today only, guests can enjoy fifteen percent off their order
for dine in, carry out and delivery at participating locations.
And has anyone heard of Chicken Salad Chick?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
I thought that was out here. I thought it was
one of those new training plays.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
I've never heard of Chicken salad Chick Chick.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
I mean, you know, it's California. I've just never heard
of it.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Chicken Solid Chick is bringing back its annual offer that
the company said has given out more than one hundred
and thirty thousand free meals to veterans across the country
to its inception. Today, veterans and active duty military can
receive a free Chick meal and regular Fountain drink which
includes either a scoop or a sandwich plus one fresh
side at all locations, none of which I know is
(13:14):
this free player bowls like play a player or plaia
I think it's pliabowles. I read it as player, Hey,
pus up player Free pliabowls For Veterans Day, All veterans
and service members with valid military ID can get a
free want to say, play a bowl on Veterans Day.
The offer will be available in shop only at select
(13:35):
locations Firehouse Subs I like them, here's their Veterans Day deal.
Veterans in active duty military can visit any Firehouse Subs
location for a free combo including a medium sub, chips
or a cookie and a drink today only and California
Pizza Kitchen just today again.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
This is how you do it.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
CPK is honoring our veterans and active duty service members
with a complimentary entree and drink from from the prefix.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Is it pr ix fix? I don't go to CPKA
prefix when you pay one price for a whole meal?
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Oh okay? Learn something new every day when dining in.
To further thank them for their service, customers will also
receive a buy one, get one coupon for any pizza,
any solid, any pasta, redeemable during a future visit between
November twelfth and twenty fifth of this month an STK Steakhouse. Today,
only all veterans in active duty military will get fifty
(14:39):
percent off food. I would be embarrassed if all we
had to offer was a damn cup of coffee at
a burger out.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Not very patriotic. What a burger? What a crop? What
a pizza?
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Come on a cup of coffee, ice or hot?
Speaker 2 (14:58):
That's disrespectful. It was who the hell goes to? What
a burger for coffee? Who?
Speaker 5 (15:05):
Who?
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Homeless people? And they're not buying anyhow, so it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
It's late with mo Kelly KIM six forty five everywhere
in the iHeartRadio app Will we come back, We'll tell
you about the ten best California hospitals. And I wonder
if my preferred hospital is on this list and what
to Waala Sharp would have to say about this list?
Speaker 5 (15:26):
You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
And let's talk about the ten best hospitals here in
the state of California. We often talk about healthcare, the intricacies,
the difficulties, and I learned a lot just from producer
to Walla Sharp Unfortunately, he has a lot of experience
in the hospital setting. That's the only way I can
put it. So he may be able to give us
(15:54):
some insight on these top hospitals. And maybe why coming
in at number ten Sharp Memorial Hospital in San Diego.
Does your family own the whole relation relation? I'm surprised.
I don't know about this all right. I'd ask around.
(16:15):
Maybe you have like a controlling interest or somewhere. Number nine.
You see Irvine Medical Center in Orange.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Absolutely have heard nothing but good things about U see Irvine.
There was one point in time when I was looking
to transfer my transplant care to UC Irvine, but it's
just we happen to work it out where I would
be able to stay more local. But nothing but good
things heard about you see Irvine. Interesting, you give a
little bit more backstory. This is from Newsweek and Newsweek
(16:52):
work with data firm Statista to analyze hundreds of medical
facilities across the country to create the America's Best in
State Hospital's twenty twenty five report. And this is based
on metrics from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services,
the AHA Annual Survey of Hospitals Database, Patient Experience surveys
(17:13):
and a nationwide online survey of medical professionals, and that
was number nine. UC Irvine Medical Center coming in at
number eight.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
UCLA Health Santa Monica Medical Center.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Anything.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
UCLA is at the absolute bottom of my list every
single time. When I was originally assigned for my transplant,
I was originally going through UCLA, And never in my
life have I ever felt more like an inconsequential number
(17:51):
than when I was at UCLA. I was never treated
with any care, consideration or respect at UCLA, and I
will always put a box on the entire facility of
U C l A for the way I was treated.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
So you're rather neutral on the UCLA. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Pox A pox is serious, especially in today's world where
we don't believe in like vaccines or anything.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
You don't just go around wishing a pox on anybody.
That's serious. Number seven Script's Memorial Hospital in La Jolla.
I don't have any familiarity, no friends or whatever.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Number six of the top in state hospitals here in California, Kick.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Hospital of USC.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Yeah, I've had some some dealings with them and family members.
I don't have anything bad to say about Choice Choice
Location YEP. Number five, Jacob's Medical Center at UC San
Diego Health And I'm getting the sense that if you're
in Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego County, those are
(19:04):
where the best hospitals are. You know, if you happen
to be let's say, in central California, in Northern California,
you're sol You're done. You know, you might as well
never mind Number four. I know Toula knows this one.
(19:24):
Cedars Sinai Medical Center here in Los Angeles.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Best health care facility in i'd say all of California
and the world. Ever since transferring my transplant case to Sedars,
I have always received the absolute best care at Cedars.
The angels there that are nurses are the top. The
(19:48):
medical professionals and medical professionals in every field are the top.
Sedars cares about their patients period.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
All right.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Coming in at number three of the top in state
hospitals here in California.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Hey, northern California. Check it in.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
UCSF Medical Center in San Francisco. So not everyone has
to die a horrible death in Northern California, or at
least if you're okay, that's wrong. Coming in at number
two of the top in state hospitals here in California. Hey, twalla,
(20:32):
UCLA Health Ronald Reyan Medical Center in LA.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
You know, I guess money talks. Money talks. If you
are about your dollars, you're good at UCLA.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
And the number one top in state hospital here in
California is Stanford Healthcare Stanford Hospital, So not all is
(21:06):
lost if you happen to live somewhere north of Bakersfield.
I haven't been to Stanford Hospital as of yet, at
least knock on Wood. I'm kind of surprised my hospital
was not on this list.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Please don't say anything about Kaiser. Please, yes, I was Kaiser,
Please please don't do it. I'm a Kaiser kid, through
and through. I've been on Kaiser for.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
The past forty plus years, almost fifty years and no
fifty years.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
I pray for you, brother, I do what's wrong with
Kaiser's fantastic No back in the day, like in the
nineteen eighties, Kaiser gets you killed.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Okay, through the eighties the nineties, at least you need
to check it out. It's all one stop shopping.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Like when I go in, I get my physical, get
my blood work, and I get my lab work. Go
downstairs and I get the results and if I need
to see a specialist, it's all one location that they
don't outsource the stuff.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Okay, with exception of my colonox. But that's too much information.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Their inner network system is so flawed and out of touch.
Give me a k Queen departments, Give me an a.
The Kaiser will never make it to the time. No,
give me a come on, give me an R. Aren't
they on strike right now? No?
Speaker 2 (22:22):
I think that strike was over. Ok I think they
fixed it again.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Look, Kaiser hasn't killed anyone in my family as of yet.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Not on all this would.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Kaiser is great, great, terrible? Okay, I'm getting people's business. Stephanie,
have to tell me which hospital or you know, healthcare
provider you have.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
But have you had any dealings with Kaiser? Yeah? My
mom actually worked for the.
Speaker 6 (22:48):
What is it for the la als Department for like
the better part of ten years.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Oh was you know? She did a lot of works
she really cared about. Not bad at all.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
Oh, Oh, we have first and experience. Look I love
Steph and her mother. Oh but no, there's no But
I wish that I would have run into Fushia's mom
while I was there. Unfortunately, her angelic presence must have
been on a day off and I was subjected to
the hellion that was at the counter that sent me
(23:22):
to U doctor you know.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Kovorkian or whoever. No, I would have never, I will
never never again.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
When you see me at Kaiser, did they try to
send you away with some coffee?
Speaker 2 (23:38):
We'll wait for you, Stefan, he earned that callback here.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
That callback okay, it's Later with Mokelly if I Am
six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. And when
we come back, we got more not necessarily bad news.
It hasn't happened yet, but it's trending towards bad news.
You know how gas prices are really damn high right now?
Well they could be higher, I mean like sixty five
(24:03):
seventy cents higher per gallon. If this continues on this path,
will give you the possible maybe bad news.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
Next, you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand
from KFI AM six forty when mo Kelly.
Speaker 6 (24:21):
One K.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Six Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
And I gotta say, since I recently and I didn't
want to buy a new car because I liked having
no car payment.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Let me just say that.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
So I somewhat reluctantly got a new car. My other
car was giving to one of my blended sons. It
has one hundred and sixty thousand miles on it runs
beautifully because.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Honda's run forever forever.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
I didn't need a new car, but I could help
someone out by passing on my car, handing down my car.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Oh, a new car is a hybrid.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
I didn't go the full electric route because I wasn't
too comfortable with the idea, wasn't ready for the range anxiety.
But I can say, no exaggeration, my hybrid gets anywhere
between five and six hundred miles to the tank, and
it's self charging where I don't have to actually plug
(25:23):
it in my driving.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
The gas use charges the battery portion of it. I
love it. I think it's the best of both worlds.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Now, there is a cost to that, since it's not
fully electric. I still got to do the regular automotive maintenance,
be it oil changes, you know, fluids and that kind
of thing. But I'm less sensitive. And here's the point,
I'm less sensitive to the cost of gas. And that's
meant the world to me because I have a long commute.
(25:53):
It's only twenty two miles each way, but it could
be anywhere from an hour to hour forty five minutes.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Sometimes two hours.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
This speaks to me, California, we as drivers are going
to have to get ready for a possible gas price
hike because state regulators have approved new and tighter climate standards,
the California Air Resources Board or CARB They need a
better acronym than that carb that's sure for like carbohydrate
(26:25):
it sounds like. The CAR Board, which comprises board members
appointed by Governor Newsom and the legislature, voted last Friday
to update the California's low carbon fuel standards, and the
updates are aimed at increasing cleaner fuel and transportation options
for California drivers and accelerating zero emission infrastructure. In other words,
(26:49):
let's make it more expensive for gas so you'd be
more inclined to drive an ev This new policy has
not been met with acclaim, it's been highly criticized. In fact,
independent findings showed it could increase the cost of gas
by forty seven cents per gallon per gallon, and if
(27:12):
you have like a fourteen gallon tank like I do,
that adds up that adds up for anyone. California's non
partisan Legislative Analyst Office has forecasted that drivers could be
paying up to twenty cents per gallon should the Board
approve the new plans. There are two things in that. One,
gas prizes are largely speculative. We don't know. It's all
(27:34):
about what the future may hold, what they think may happen.
And also, the board has not as of yet approved
these new plans, so it's not a done deal. It's
not a foregone conclusion. Republican assembly Men Tom Lackey, he said,
we're being really conservative in our estimates. Prices could increase
by as much as sixty five cents per gallon per gallon,
(27:57):
so you could pay an extra ten to twelve dollar
at the pump to completely fill up your car. If
you want me to buy an EV, yes, this would
encourage me to buy an EV. But EV's are no
longer inexpensive. You're gonna have to pay some fifty thousand
dollars for just the middle of the range EV's, not
(28:19):
the luxury ones, just the regular ass prius looking ugly
funky EV's that nobody wants. Hey, hey, no, no, no,
they've updated the Prius, it's not as bad. I'm sorry.
Do you drive a Prius, Well, there's still ugly. No,
but the new one is pretty sick. Yeah, but your
your baby's ugly. I'm sorry. I don't sound it'sund mean
(28:43):
calling someone's child ugly. It's it's it's you know, But
I'm with you. Once I got a hybrid, I'll never
I'll never go back like that, right, you know what
I'm going through exactly.
Speaker 6 (28:54):
Yeah, when I first got it, it's like the best
feeling when you're in traffic and it just shuts off,
or if you're like, you know whatever, getting fast food
or something, shuts off the whole time you're there.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
So it's yeah, it's the best.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Mine will stay in electric mode if I'm under twenty
five hundred RPMs. So when I start the car, i'm
either like I'm rolling forward or backing up. It's all
ev The engine doesn't kick in until I'm really starting
to accelerate, and there's some other things which I really
like on this car. It's a Honda CRV. Absolutely love it.
(29:25):
And I've been going back and forth with Tualla because
he got a new car and we haven't either gotten
a car in a long time, so it has all
these bells and whistles. Were like, you can do that? Yeah,
can you like started from your house and have the
warm up? It's like, yeah, I can do that. Can
roll out of the windows and be nowhere around and say, yeah,
I can do that all on my phone. Yeah, I
can find out where my car is. You like breaking
(29:46):
my house and steal my car and I'll see you
drive away. Then I can see I can follow you
the power off on my phone.
Speaker 6 (29:53):
It's like it's like kids comparing their new toys on Christmas.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Oh it's great. Yeah, a lot of fun. It's great.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
But going back to the story, less sensitive to the
price of gas. And if I can if I can
say anything, and if I can give Elon Musk any credit,
and I don't give him a lot of credit, but
I'll give him credit for this. At least Tesla figured
out before anyone else could figure out that you could
make an EV which doesn't look freaking ugly. It looks
(30:20):
like a regular car. It looks like something that people
would want to drive. If you look at Sorry Prius
or some of these other evs, the early versions of them,
like the Honda.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Fit or whatever.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Just they were ugly ass cars. No one wanted to
be seen in that. You can't take out a date
in a in a I'm sorry, Stefan, They're not date magnets.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Okay. It's not like you can say, hey, baby, let's
go for a ride. No, you can't say that. I
can't say that, not in the old model Prius.
Speaker 6 (30:54):
Yeah, I'll say when like mine first came out, that
was kind of cool.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Though.
Speaker 6 (30:58):
People would get in the car like watch dingeons could
shut off, and then it's like really cool to be
in that car.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (31:02):
Now it's there's so many advancements that's not cool anymore.
It's just very gas economical friendly. Now do you know
how many gallons in your tank? I think it's a
thirteen eighteen.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
So you're probably getting comparable gas miles between like five
and six hundred miles.
Speaker 6 (31:17):
Oh yeah, it's it's yeah. I think my mpg's right
around forty.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
My last car, Honda Civic thirteen gallon tank, it would
get around three hundred and twenty miles to a tank,
and I'm always pushing it to the anth degree. I
always want I am like putting up to the gas
station I'm getting every drop out of that car. I
know how far I can take that car, because I've
run out of gas in it before. I just like
(31:43):
to see how far I can take it. So I
know it was getting about three hundred and twenty miles
per tank. The first time I drove this car, and
I got literally six hundred miles. I said, Oh, you
couldn't pay me to go back to a regular gas car.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
So I say all this to say, if you are.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Concerned about the price of gas, by all means, at
the minimum, get you a hybrid, an unugly one, a
non ugly hybrid. I don't know about an electric car.
We'll get a non ugly hybrid and it will change
your life. Okay if I am six forty were lives
(32:22):
everywhere in the iHeartRadio App.
Speaker 5 (32:24):
I've heard any of our secret mind control hidden messages recently?
Speaker 2 (32:28):
No, that's because we're really good at it.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
KSI and kost HD two Los Angeles, Orange County live
everywhere on the Heart Radio app.
KFI. It's Later with Bo Kelly. We're live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app. I want to send a special shout
out to all the veterans out there across the different
service branches, all the veterans that buy family and yours.
Thank you not only for your service, your commitment, your dedication,
and some veterans who are no longer with us want
(00:46):
to acknowledge their contributions as well. Yes, I know Veterans
Day is not Memorial Day, but still it can be
a solemn occasion for sums. We think about the sacrifices
which have been made over the years, some large than
some small, but still sacrifices. Nonetheless, as we bring close
(01:06):
to a close this Veteran's Day, we're going to talk
about that there are some last minute Veterans Day deals,
even though the day's not over. If you're a veteran,
we're gonna let you know about where you can get
some free food, cheaper food, just some good food, and
also the ten best California hospitals. I have a sneaking
suspicion that producer of the show to Walla Sharp may
(01:28):
have some first hand knowledge, and I'm not trying to
be funny. He knows a little something about the healthcare
system here in California and also some of the best
and even worst hospitals.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Is that right, Well as far as worst ones, Yeah,
I'm gott to know the worst. And get ready.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Gas prices just may be going higher again again.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Yes, again, they can go higher.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
They can get worse, and it's something specific to California.
If you don't like the government here in California, well
I'm going to give you another reason to really really
dislike it. And I was listening to Mark Rodert in
the news break and then I realized, so, what's this
(02:13):
about rain?
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Well, we have a twenty percent chance of it tonight
and then we've got a little lower chance of it
Thursday through Saturday. So what you're gonna have to do
is go home and stand outside for a while.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Well, so I might get wet this week, you might
become a slight bit moist. Yeah. Who that sounds wrong.
Nobody likes that word, do they? No?
Speaker 3 (02:34):
No, I've never understood why. But just accept the moisture
and be done with it. Okay, cake can be moist.
Someone left the cake out in the rain. Is that
where you're going? No, I'm not talking about Donna Summer.
Now you're not talking about Richard Harris? Is what you meant?
Speaker 4 (02:49):
No?
Speaker 1 (02:50):
I met Donna Summer? Okay, macaw the par Okay, it's melting.
Do you not know that music reference? I suspect I
know it better than you. Oh, oh, well, go ahead
and say it. That's one thing I'm not gonna do.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Nice, Try nice, try to Okay, No, as far as
moist goes, if it's not food, you're in dangerous territory.
You're probably right about that. We probably just nauseated half
our listeners.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Oh, speaking of nauseated half our listeners, let's nauseate the
other half. Did you hear about those wicked dolls that
got pulled?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Sure? Did?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (03:30):
How do you accidentally slip in a pornographic reference on dolls?
It can't be a mistake, right, it can't be accidental,
poor uncle Wald. There is no way you could accidentally
drop a pornographic reference in either a Disney movie or
(03:51):
a Disney musical or Disney playset.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Well, is there nobody around to check these things, like
a final copy editor or anything like that?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
There are, which will be my point. It has to
be intentional. You can't accidentally do that. That's someone who's
trying to do it.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Or the individual in charge of adding websites to packages
was like moonlighting and looking at some porn while at
work and just copying and paste all the wrong link.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Yeah, meant to copy and paste the link for private use,
and evidently you know on the on the clipboard, your
digital clipboard, it would just happened to be the last link.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Well, at least check your work. Yeah, you want to
keep all that stuff separated from what I understand. Between
you and twelve I tell you it's Later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
When we come back, we're going to give your last
minute and I do mean last minute Veterans Day deals.
If you want to get some food for yourself or
a veteran in your family, we'll talk about that next.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
And as we begin to wind down Veterans Day, it's
still the dinner hour and it's not too late for
you or someone else in your family to go help
honor our military heroes. And there are a bunch of
free bees and more which are still available not only
today but after today, Applebee's is serving free meals for
(05:17):
veterans Today on it's actually since seventeenth consecutive year, apple
Bee's will be offering veterans, active duty, military reserves, and
National Guard members a special complimentary dinner. They can choose
from some of the restaurant's most popular entrees, the classic
bacon cheeseburger, six ounce top sirloin, chicken tenders, platters, double
(05:38):
crunch shrimp Fiesta, lime chicken, Oriental Chicken Salad, or three
cheese chicken penny. Veterans will also get a five dollars
bounce back card for a future visit within a three
week redemption window. I haven't been to Applebee's in years.
Are they still around in many places? I don't see
them anywhere.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
No, no, But a long, long time ago, I briefly
dated what they call him, Apple Buddy.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Wait a minute, you're gonna have to explain this. Is
this like a friends would benefit situation or what?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
No?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
One, No.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
I was way back when I lived in Indiana, was
working at a newspaper there, and a nice lady worked
at Applebee's. And that's what they call them, apple buddies.
Apple buddies, Yeah, not apple bottom.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
That's enough.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Moving right on, Let's go to BJ's restaurant in brew House,
Oh God, free Puzuki. Service Members who dine in on
Veterans Day will receive a free pezuki, a cookie baked
in a large cast iron skillet. Veterans and active duty
military members can also get a free appetizer on a
future visit. Between November twelfth, tomorrow and the end of
(06:49):
the calendar year, free Veterans shrimp and chips at Red Lobster.
They're still in business. Yeah, yeah, I just want to
make sure because the news changes every week of business bankruptcy.
They're back to thank veterans, active duty military, and reservists
for their service. Red Lobster is offering free veteran shrimp
(07:10):
and chips six Walt's favorite shrimp serve with cocktail sauce
and ketchup French flies and coalslaw just today. Guests only
need to show a valid military ID or proof of
service to redeem this dining in only offer not to go. Additionally,
Red Lobster shows appreciation for veterans every day by offering
ten percent off their check when dining in restaurant with
(07:33):
proof of service or valid military ID. How about a tattoo,
like an airborne tattoo. That's probably not valid military ID. Okay,
just looking for clarity here, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know.
I don't know if that would qualify. I don't know
if you could like go up to an MP and
say here's my ID, and I don't know if that's
going to be enough.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Thank you for that. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
I'm just guestimating water Burger and I had my first
water Burger a few years ago and it was my last.
I'm just saying I'm an in and out. But if
you happen to like Whataburger, they're serving veterans in active
military free coffee all year this Veteran's Day. Whataburger is
saying thank you to the men and women who have
(08:12):
served and continue to serve our country with a free
sixteen ounce hot or iced coffee.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Wait a minute, Wait a minute, A Burger place is
offering veterans ice coffee.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
You caught that.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Right, I was thinking the same thing, right, Okay, not
a Burger coffee, because we all go to Whatterburger for coffee,
of course, ice coffee. Now I can understand if we're
like dunkin donuts because you go there to get donuts
and a coffee.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yes, I went.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
And now I was saying, I went to Waterburger a
few years ago, and it was in Texas. It was
the first time I'd ever been to Waterburger. I was
so underwhelmed. And I say that to say it tracks
that Waterburger is offering coffee for our veterans.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
That it just didn't. The burger was.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Dry, it was nothing special. I had heard, Oh whatater Burger. Yeah,
you gotta taste Waterburger. It's great. It's better than Shakeshack,
it's better than in and Out, it's better than fat Burger.
And I said, okay, we'll see and I ate one.
I said, never again, did you try the coffee? Won't
wait for that one. I think he earned that. That
was a quick callback. We have no time to make
(09:22):
him fast. He's slow on a drum.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Tonight, life is short.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Starting today, veterans and active duty armedforces members in uniform
or with a valid ID not a tattoo can stop
by any dining room at Waterburger and grab their free
coffee all day.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
All year long, all year long. Mark do not mock them.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
And speaking of in and out, free meal for military
at in and out Burger. See here's the difference. Waterburger
gave you coffee in and out. They give you the
good stuff, in other words, the thing that they're known
for selling.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Correct.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
I see today veterans, active duty, military, reserve and now
sational Guard members can enjoy a complimentary meal, not coffee,
a meal including any burger, fries and beverage on in
and out Burger's menu.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
It's nice to see it on a menu.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
It's yours as a veteran with proof of military service,
of course.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
See now that's how you do it. The other place
do you get?
Speaker 3 (10:19):
You get some free condiments too, fiximmos, little packets.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Coffee, I don't know, you might have to pay for
the sugar. Okay, in a half and half freeze.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Splendor for VETSA krispy.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Kreme just talking about donuts.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Krispy Kreme serves free coffee and a donut for Veterans Day.
See they at least give you what you would come
there for. Normally, all locations, all Krispy Kreme locations will
offer veterans in active military a free small hot or
iced coffee along with the donut of their choice. Nice
Buffalo Wild Wings free boneless wings for veterans. Veterans and
(10:57):
active duty service members who present their value ID will
get a free order of ten, not two, not five,
but ten boneless wings and fries just for today. The
offer is only for dine in customers and Buffalo Wild
Wings Go locations and are included for walking orders at
the counter. Johnny Rocketts and I am a new fan
(11:19):
of Johnny Rockets just because of the eight to twelve
milkshakes I had on the cruise over Labor Day, and
they were all cookies and cream.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
They were glorious, but Johnny Rockets.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
To salute veterans in active military, the restaurant chain will
offer a free single burger.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
See how that's done. It's a burger place.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
They give you a free burger on Veterans Day with
the purchase of any drink or shake. Just today, when
dining in with a veteran or military ID, or for
those wearing a military uniform, David Busters, Veterans and active
duty military will get a free entree up to twenty dollars.
(12:00):
That's what I'm talking about, David Busters exactly. Honor our veterans,
don't be cheap. Free entree up to twenty dollars plus
a ten dollars power card today only, and they also
get fifteen percent off all food and beverages purchased every day,
year round with a valid veteran or military ID.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
They're not talking about some stinking coffee. This is how
you do it.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Fifteen percent off round Table Pizza and I like roundtable pizza.
Today only, guests can enjoy fifteen percent off their order
for dine in, carry out and delivery at participating locations.
And has anyone heard of Chicken Salad Chick?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
I thought that was out here. I thought it was
one of those new training plays.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
I've never heard of Chicken salad Chick Chick.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
I mean, you know, it's California. I've just never heard
of it.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Chicken Solid Chick is bringing back its annual offer that
the company said has given out more than one hundred
and thirty thousand free meals to veterans across the country
to its inception. Today, veterans and active duty military can
receive a free Chick meal and regular Fountain drink which
includes either a scoop or a sandwich plus one fresh
side at all locations, none of which I know is
(13:14):
this free player bowls like play a player or plaia
I think it's pliabowles. I read it as player, Hey,
pus up player Free pliabowls For Veterans Day, All veterans
and service members with valid military ID can get a
free want to say, play a bowl on Veterans Day.
The offer will be available in shop only at select
(13:35):
locations Firehouse Subs I like them, here's their Veterans Day deal.
Veterans in active duty military can visit any Firehouse Subs
location for a free combo including a medium sub, chips
or a cookie and a drink today only and California
Pizza Kitchen just today again.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
This is how you do it.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
CPK is honoring our veterans and active duty service members
with a complimentary entree and drink from from the prefix.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Is it pr ix fix? I don't go to CPKA
prefix when you pay one price for a whole meal?
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Oh okay? Learn something new every day when dining in.
To further thank them for their service, customers will also
receive a buy one, get one coupon for any pizza,
any solid, any pasta, redeemable during a future visit between
November twelfth and twenty fifth of this month an STK Steakhouse. Today,
only all veterans in active duty military will get fifty
(14:39):
percent off food. I would be embarrassed if all we
had to offer was a damn cup of coffee at
a burger out.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Not very patriotic. What a burger? What a crop? What
a pizza?
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Come on a cup of coffee, ice or hot?
Speaker 2 (14:58):
That's disrespectful. It was who the hell goes to? What
a burger for coffee? Who?
Speaker 5 (15:05):
Who?
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Homeless people? And they're not buying anyhow, so it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
It's late with mo Kelly KIM six forty five everywhere
in the iHeartRadio app Will we come back, We'll tell
you about the ten best California hospitals. And I wonder
if my preferred hospital is on this list and what
to Waala Sharp would have to say about this list?
Speaker 5 (15:26):
You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
And let's talk about the ten best hospitals here in
the state of California. We often talk about healthcare, the intricacies,
the difficulties, and I learned a lot just from producer
to Walla Sharp Unfortunately, he has a lot of experience
in the hospital setting. That's the only way I can
put it. So he may be able to give us
(15:54):
some insight on these top hospitals. And maybe why coming
in at number ten Sharp Memorial Hospital in San Diego.
Does your family own the whole relation relation? I'm surprised.
I don't know about this all right. I'd ask around.
(16:15):
Maybe you have like a controlling interest or somewhere. Number nine.
You see Irvine Medical Center in Orange.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Absolutely have heard nothing but good things about U see Irvine.
There was one point in time when I was looking
to transfer my transplant care to UC Irvine, but it's
just we happen to work it out where I would
be able to stay more local. But nothing but good
things heard about you see Irvine. Interesting, you give a
little bit more backstory. This is from Newsweek and Newsweek
(16:52):
work with data firm Statista to analyze hundreds of medical
facilities across the country to create the America's Best in
State Hospital's twenty twenty five report. And this is based
on metrics from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services,
the AHA Annual Survey of Hospitals Database, Patient Experience surveys
(17:13):
and a nationwide online survey of medical professionals, and that
was number nine. UC Irvine Medical Center coming in at
number eight.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
UCLA Health Santa Monica Medical Center.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Anything.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
UCLA is at the absolute bottom of my list every
single time. When I was originally assigned for my transplant,
I was originally going through UCLA, And never in my
life have I ever felt more like an inconsequential number
(17:51):
than when I was at UCLA. I was never treated
with any care, consideration or respect at UCLA, and I
will always put a box on the entire facility of
U C l A for the way I was treated.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
So you're rather neutral on the UCLA. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Pox A pox is serious, especially in today's world where
we don't believe in like vaccines or anything.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
You don't just go around wishing a pox on anybody.
That's serious. Number seven Script's Memorial Hospital in La Jolla.
I don't have any familiarity, no friends or whatever.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Number six of the top in state hospitals here in California, Kick.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Hospital of USC.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Yeah, I've had some some dealings with them and family members.
I don't have anything bad to say about Choice Choice
Location YEP. Number five, Jacob's Medical Center at UC San
Diego Health And I'm getting the sense that if you're
in Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego County, those are
(19:04):
where the best hospitals are. You know, if you happen
to be let's say, in central California, in Northern California,
you're sol You're done. You know, you might as well
never mind Number four. I know Toula knows this one.
(19:24):
Cedars Sinai Medical Center here in Los Angeles.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Best health care facility in i'd say all of California
and the world. Ever since transferring my transplant case to Sedars,
I have always received the absolute best care at Cedars.
The angels there that are nurses are the top. The
(19:48):
medical professionals and medical professionals in every field are the top.
Sedars cares about their patients period.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
All right.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Coming in at number three of the top in state
hospitals here in California.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Hey, northern California. Check it in.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
UCSF Medical Center in San Francisco. So not everyone has
to die a horrible death in Northern California, or at
least if you're okay, that's wrong. Coming in at number
two of the top in state hospitals here in California. Hey, twalla,
(20:32):
UCLA Health Ronald Reyan Medical Center in LA.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
You know, I guess money talks. Money talks. If you
are about your dollars, you're good at UCLA.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
And the number one top in state hospital here in
California is Stanford Healthcare Stanford Hospital, So not all is
(21:06):
lost if you happen to live somewhere north of Bakersfield.
I haven't been to Stanford Hospital as of yet, at
least knock on Wood. I'm kind of surprised my hospital
was not on this list.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Please don't say anything about Kaiser. Please, yes, I was Kaiser,
Please please don't do it. I'm a Kaiser kid, through
and through. I've been on Kaiser for.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
The past forty plus years, almost fifty years and no
fifty years.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
I pray for you, brother, I do what's wrong with
Kaiser's fantastic No back in the day, like in the
nineteen eighties, Kaiser gets you killed.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Okay, through the eighties the nineties, at least you need
to check it out. It's all one stop shopping.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Like when I go in, I get my physical, get
my blood work, and I get my lab work. Go
downstairs and I get the results and if I need
to see a specialist, it's all one location that they
don't outsource the stuff.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Okay, with exception of my colonox. But that's too much information.

I wish that I would have run into Fushia's mom
while I was there. Unfortunately, her angelic presence must have
been on a day off and I was subjected to

send you away with some coffee?
Speaker 2 (23:38):
We'll wait for you, Stefan, he earned that callback here.

That callback okay, it's Later with Mokelly if I Am
six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. And when
we come back, we got more not necessarily bad news.
It hasn't happened yet, but it's trending towards bad news.
You know how gas prices are really damn high right now?
Well they could be higher, I mean like sixty five
(24:03):
seventy cents higher per gallon. If this continues on this path,
will give you the possible maybe bad news.
Speaker 5 (24:11):

Speaker 2 (24:25):

Speaker 1 (24:29):
And I gotta say, since I recently and I didn't
want to buy a new car because I liked having
no car payment.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Let me just say that.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
So I somewhat reluctantly got a new car. My other
car was giving to one of my blended sons. It
has one hundred and sixty thousand miles on it runs
beautifully because.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Honda's run forever forever.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
I didn't need a new car, but I could help
someone out by passing on my car, handing down my car.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Oh, a new car is a hybrid.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
I didn't go the full electric route because I wasn't
too comfortable with the idea, wasn't ready for the range anxiety.
But I can say, no exaggeration, my hybrid gets anywhere
between five and six hundred miles to the tank, and
it's self charging where I don't have to actually plug
(25:23):
it in my driving.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
The gas use charges the battery portion of it. I
love it. I think it's the best of both worlds.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Now, there is a cost to that, since it's not
fully electric. I still got to do the regular automotive maintenance,
be it oil changes, you know, fluids and that kind
of thing. But I'm less sensitive. And here's the point,
I'm less sensitive to the cost of gas. And that's
meant the world to me because I have a long commute.
(25:53):
It's only twenty two miles each way, but it could
be anywhere from an hour to hour forty five minutes.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Sometimes two hours.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
This speaks to me, California, we as drivers are going
to have to get ready for a possible gas price
hike because state regulators have approved new and tighter climate standards,
the California Air Resources Board or CARB They need a
better acronym than that carb that's sure for like carbohydrate
(26:25):
it sounds like. The CAR Board, which comprises board members
appointed by Governor Newsom and the legislature, voted last Friday
to update the California's low carbon fuel standards, and the
updates are aimed at increasing cleaner fuel and transportation options
for California drivers and accelerating zero emission infrastructure. In other words,
(26:49):
let's make it more expensive for gas so you'd be
more inclined to drive an ev This new policy has
not been met with acclaim, it's been highly criticized. In fact,
independent findings showed it could increase the cost of gas
by forty seven cents per gallon per gallon, and if
(27:12):
you have like a fourteen gallon tank like I do,
that adds up that adds up for anyone. California's non
partisan Legislative Analyst Office has forecasted that drivers could be
paying up to twenty cents per gallon should the Board
approve the new plans. There are two things in that. One,
gas prizes are largely speculative. We don't know. It's all
(27:34):
about what the future may hold, what they think may happen.
And also, the board has not as of yet approved
these new plans, so it's not a done deal. It's
not a foregone conclusion. Republican assembly Men Tom Lackey, he said,
we're being really conservative in our estimates. Prices could increase
by as much as sixty five cents per gallon per gallon,
(27:57):
so you could pay an extra ten to twelve dollar
at the pump to completely fill up your car. If
you want me to buy an EV, yes, this would
encourage me to buy an EV. But EV's are no
longer inexpensive. You're gonna have to pay some fifty thousand
dollars for just the middle of the range EV's, not
(28:19):
the luxury ones, just the regular ass prius looking ugly
funky EV's that nobody wants. Hey, hey, no, no, no,
they've updated the Prius, it's not as bad. I'm sorry.
Do you drive a Prius, Well, there's still ugly. No,
but the new one is pretty sick. Yeah, but your
your baby's ugly. I'm sorry. I don't sound it'sund mean
(28:43):
calling someone's child ugly. It's it's it's you know, But
I'm with you. Once I got a hybrid, I'll never
I'll never go back like that, right, you know what
I'm going through exactly.
Speaker 6 (28:54):
Yeah, when I first got it, it's like the best
feeling when you're in traffic and it just shuts off,
or if you're like, you know whatever, getting fast food
or something, shuts off the whole time you're there.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
So it's yeah, it's the best.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Mine will stay in electric mode if I'm under twenty
five hundred RPMs. So when I start the car, i'm
either like I'm rolling forward or backing up. It's all
ev The engine doesn't kick in until I'm really starting
to accelerate, and there's some other things which I really
like on this car. It's a Honda CRV. Absolutely love it.
(29:25):
And I've been going back and forth with Tualla because
he got a new car and we haven't either gotten
a car in a long time, so it has all
these bells and whistles. Were like, you can do that? Yeah,
can you like started from your house and have the
warm up? It's like, yeah, I can do that. Can
roll out of the windows and be nowhere around and say, yeah,
I can do that all on my phone. Yeah, I
can find out where my car is. You like breaking
(29:46):
my house and steal my car and I'll see you
drive away. Then I can see I can follow you
the power off on my phone.
Speaker 6 (29:53):
It's like it's like kids comparing their new toys on Christmas.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Oh it's great. Yeah, a lot of fun. It's great.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
But going back to the story, less sensitive to the
price of gas. And if I can if I can
say anything, and if I can give Elon Musk any credit,
and I don't give him a lot of credit, but
I'll give him credit for this. At least Tesla figured
out before anyone else could figure out that you could
make an EV which doesn't look freaking ugly. It looks
(30:20):
like a regular car. It looks like something that people
would want to drive. If you look at Sorry Prius
or some of these other evs, the early versions of them,
like the Honda.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Fit or whatever.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Just they were ugly ass cars. No one wanted to
be seen in that. You can't take out a date
in a in a I'm sorry, Stefan, They're not date magnets.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Okay. It's not like you can say, hey, baby, let's
go for a ride. No, you can't say that. I
can't say that, not in the old model Prius.
Speaker 6 (30:54):
Yeah, I'll say when like mine first came out, that
was kind of cool.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Though.
Speaker 6 (30:58):
People would get in the car like watch dingeons could
shut off, and then it's like really cool to be
in that car.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (31:02):
Now it's there's so many advancements that's not cool anymore.
It's just very gas economical friendly. Now do you know
how many gallons in your tank? I think it's a
thirteen eighteen.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
So you're probably getting comparable gas miles between like five
and six hundred miles.
Speaker 6 (31:17):
Oh yeah, it's it's yeah. I think my mpg's right
around forty.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
My last car, Honda Civic thirteen gallon tank, it would
get around three hundred and twenty miles to a tank,
and I'm always pushing it to the anth degree. I
always want I am like putting up to the gas
station I'm getting every drop out of that car. I
know how far I can take that car, because I've
run out of gas in it before. I just like
(31:43):
to see how far I can take it. So I
know it was getting about three hundred and twenty miles
per tank. The first time I drove this car, and
I got literally six hundred miles. I said, Oh, you
couldn't pay me to go back to a regular gas car.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
So I say all this to say, if you are.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Concerned about the price of gas, by all means, at
the minimum, get you a hybrid, an unugly one, a
non ugly hybrid. I don't know about an electric car.
We'll get a non ugly hybrid and it will change
your life. Okay if I am six forty were lives
