Kf I AM six forty. You're listening to Later with
Moe Kelly on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Well, that's Late with Kelly one K.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Six.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
We are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. But we're
still live at the Anaheim White House, eight A seven
South Anaheim Boulevard. We're here for one more hour. You
have forty five minutes to make your bid at KFIAM
six forty dot com forward slash pastathon for our auction items,
and they're very important. It's not about us, it's about
(00:41):
the money that it will generate to feed children. One
hundred percent of your donations are not only tax deductible,
but they are all for the kids. And let's give
everyone an update. This is our nine pm update. We
have fifty four thousand, five hundred forty five pounds of
pasta and sauce, which is almost double from last hour,
(01:09):
and it's getting late in the evening, which means that
these donations start coming in faster and more furiously. We
have now eclipsed the eight hundred thousand dollars market eight
hundred and nine eight hundred and thirty eight dollars in donations.
So for those who are listening right now, It's okay.
If you still want to donate and push us over,
(01:30):
I'm just gonna clan. Let's just go on and push
us over a million tonight. Let's just do it now.
Let's not wait. Joining me right now on the show
is someone if you listen to later with Mo Kelly.
I'm very proud of her because she's gone from listener
to air personality. She's someone who's grown in this business.
(01:51):
She had her own segment and she turned that into
her own show. Put your Hands Together for Tiffany Hops.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Thank you, Thank you all very much. I do appreciate it.
This is my second pastathon and I love it.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
I really enjoy being here.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
It is my first time actually eating food here at
pasta thon.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Ooh, how was it? I know it was good.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
I ate something I couldn't pronounce and it was delicious.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Oh that's the best kind of food. People ask you,
what did you eat is? I don't know, but it
tasted it good.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
We just kind of pointed and said, give me that.
That description looks really good, and it was. Everything here
that I've had has been wonderful. The people, the staff,
Bruno and just the entire environment is. I see why
everyone comes out and why it's such a huge event
year after year.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
You kind of took my next question, but I'm going
to ask it anyway. You have a very particular perspective.
You first could look at this from the outside end.
You could listen to Pastathon, you could listen to KFI.
You might have even come down. But that's one perspective. Yes,
now to see popon from the inside, KFI, working with
(03:04):
Smart and Final, working with Wendy's having a role to
play on air with it as well. What's it seem like?
What's it feel like?
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Now? Oh? It is.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
It's magic.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
It's magic, but that magic is very deliberate, is very intentional.
Michelle and what she does year after year should be
celebrated beyond.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
The pale it is.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
I can't imagine the amount of work it takes to
put something like this on and the fact that again
it's been fourteen years, and that it just grows with
each year. And magic is probably the best word. We
don't understand magic, but if you are lucky, you believe
in it. And I see why people invest so much
(03:51):
in this event.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
It's heartwarming.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
It really moves you to hear the stories from the
youth who are a part of the program and have
been under Bruno Serrado's tutelage. To hear Bruno talk about
Katerina's club and his mother, and just to see people
here really appreciating and supporting, it's it's very moving.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
There's been a lot of discussion about the decline of
AM radio quote never but there's been that discussion. But
it's moments like these where people are reminded the power
and also the responsibility we have is on their personalities
with this microphone. Because for all that people want to
(04:33):
use it for things unimportant, me included, there are these
moments where the power of AM radio, the power of
KFI can no exaggeration, change thousands of lives. We have
eight hundred and nine thousand dollars and eight hundred and
thirty eight dollars worth of donations in one day basis.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
On one day.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
That's the power of AM radio. That's the power of KFI.
That is the power of what we've collectively built with pastathon.
There are thousands and thousands of children who are going
to be fed. They're going to be any number untold
numbers of families who are going to be rehoused. Now.
Chef Bruno is to conduit. He is the centerpiece of
(05:17):
all this, but we all play a role in this.
We all play a part. It may be small. Your
donation may have only been five dollars today, it may
have been five hundred dollars today. It may have been
just stopping by and offering a word of support and
reminding us of what we're doing. That also has its place.
And I'm just overwhelmed again and in awe at your
(05:40):
consistent and dependable generosity. You don't have to do it.
It's one thing to say, hey, we had a great year. No,
but we're saying we had a great fourteen years and
we're building on it. And I know that I'm further
inspired by what you do collectively. I know Michelle is
inspired by what you do. We have these conversations where
(06:00):
I don't know how we're going to be able to
top it next year. Well, we don't know, but somehow
you make a way, You collectively find a way to
not only feed children, but amaze us in the process.
And Tiffany, let me come back to you, because your
story is very specific. You got to see all this grow.
(06:21):
You listen to it grow.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Yeah, listen before Pastathon was a thing. I've been a
listener since for twenty plus years. And to jump in
to KFI and see the reach into the community and
how KFI has changed as a station and continues to
be so community focused and oriented, just gives me a
lot of pride in being associated with this station and
(06:45):
just seeing again what it can do and how it
can in fact change lives. Like you said, Mo, there
are children who are now teenagers, who are now adults
who have gone through this fourteen years and have been
benefactors of this Pastathon And the fact that you can
look at people and see change is amazing. It's tangible.
(07:07):
It's not some figment of your imagination. You don't have
to it's not obscure, it's not abstract.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
These are people, and you get to see and hear.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
The stories of how this entire operation has changed lives.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
It's really special.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Now you brought some very special people with you tonight,
did you I did?
Speaker 5 (07:26):
I did.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
I brought as I did last year, my fiance TJ.
And my mother is here for her first Pastathon, Miss
Connie Hobbes. So I'm glad to share this with them.
I know, my mother is proud to be here. I
come from a radio lineage. My grandfather was a radio
(07:52):
broadcaster in Peoria, Illinois, Rannie Bryson. And so to be
able to share again this with my mother and all
of you, I am touched beyond belief.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
I want to ask you this, and look at your
mother when I ask you. Did your mother believe you
when she when you first told her that you were
going to be on KFI in a host capacity?
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, there was no doubt. There was ever.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
You know again, if you're fortunate, your parents are your
first fans and your first cheerleaders.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
And my mother has been that throughout my life.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
So to have her here now to do that just
as a testament to our relationship and her belief in
what I do.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
So I want to make her proud.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
I want to do well in this position, and I'm here,
I'm trying and it's going well. I am on Saturdays
from five to seven pm.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
Look at that.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I think that's something to be proud of and to continue. So,
if you've been listening to the five to seven pm
show Saturdays with Tiffany, thank you so much for that.
We're about two and a half months in and it
feels like it was just yesterday and I'm looking forward
to much more with the station.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Well you've heard me say it before and on to
say it again. Your success is our success. I know it. Well,
put your hands together for Tiffany Hobbs.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
Thank you guys very much.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
It's Later with Moke Kelly. We're continue to broadcast live.
You can hear. We have a nice crowd here at
the Anaheim White House. And don't forget, we still have
some grand prize giveaway, so if you're in the neighborhood,
you have to be in the house to win it.
I'm talking about a family four pack to see Pam
Tillis and Laurie Morgan as part of the Grits and
Glamour tour coming up in two days on December fifth
(09:35):
at Lamarada Theater. We're given that away, a family four pack,
and also this big ass basket we're given away, this
holiday gift basket. It can be yours, but you got
to be in the house, so come on and see us.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
We're not done because we cannot leave up out of
here without speaking to the man of the hour, or
I should say the man of the day or the
man of the year, however you want to phrase it.
Chef Bruno Serrato is good to see you, my friend.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Always nice to see my friends, so happy you would
coming tonight, and always cool to see you back in
our house.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I'm amazed, but I'm not surprised. You are so consistent
in your service of children and families. I should not
be surprised that you were here at five am, and
you'll be here to at least ten pm. You've been available,
You've been speaking with people. You've been making sure not
only that the people here here at the broadcasts are comfortable,
(10:34):
but you have customers to the restaurant is open, there's
you know, you're conducting business. I don't know how you
had the energy to do it.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
A lot of people ask me the same question. I said,
I have no idea where I come mynd that you
from me like you say, I was you at five am.
I have a full restaurant tonight. And then my plority
is said hi to every customer, said thank you for
being here in everyth and at the same time, we
saw the five thousand meals today for the kids.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
How does that work? Because I was saying, I don't
know how you do it because that is a separate
operation and corporationto itself. How are you able to manage
and monitor what is happening in the restaurant as well
as the kids who are being fair?
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Well? You always to be a good a good ceoor cfl.
You have to have good people behind you. Yes, I
have a great people in the kitchen then helping to
prepare the past us since six o'clock this morning. I
have a great people back up for the kitchen. I
have a great driver. We take the buses so Luva
(11:36):
Race County, which is the big things. And I have
a great people in office. That I mean, all the
great people surround me make me look good. I mean honestly,
we walk out, we talk, we communicate pretty much every day.
I mean every hour and hour. The restaurant is empty too.
My nephew Silvanna is my GM and in Catalina too
(12:00):
is taking care of the restaurant. But I know people
come to say hi to Mina. I have to be
here and I to say hi to everybody. And a
great chef for the restaurant to that mina. I'm surrunning
with a great amount of people, and that's why I
can't do what I do. Without them, I could not
do what I do.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Caterina's Club has grown, Pastaton has grown. You're not only
feeding children, but you're rehousing families.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Yeah, this is a big deal. The children is I
means nineteen nineteen years ago. The family is about thirteen
years ago. I met a family. They live in a
motel room for twelve years. And when I find that out,
I know idea motel room family was doing this. I
was like, well, why are you just living for so long?
(12:48):
Because you pay? Your motel is not free or not
even cheese, I said, I said, we have to pay. Yes,
when we stay here. I would love to move to
an apartment, but no way, I'm going to save three
four five thousand dollars down payment. And that was bingo,
that's the problem. It was the down payment to move
(13:09):
to an apartment. Now, the first family I moved, like
I mentioned, living thirteen years in six people and they
still live there. And a couple of weeks ago we
moved Family number two hundred and seventy three.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Two hundred and seventy three families.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
And you change life. I mean I was done in early.
When you see people move to from a motel area,
part in loto, garage car to an apartment, that's the
life change. We have to qualify them. We have to
have children, because if you have no children, you can't qualify.
I do for the safety of the kids. And you
(13:49):
have to have a job because you need to pay
your rent, have to pay the deposit, and no drugs
or art and stuff like that. I mean, when you
move them and you hear people detect in you and say,
she will thank you. My kids was the worst at
school and this morney came home and it's a student
of the month. When you hear stories and like young
(14:11):
girls don't have any friends because I'm embarrassed to live
to have my friends and a motel room. And now
that you move them out and she say, oh, I
have a lot of friends. I mean, you hear a
story like this then, which is very touchy in your heart,
then the life changing that you do. And I give
dignity back to the parents because if your father or
your mother and you have your children live in a
(14:33):
parking lot and a garage in a motel room and
your kids does homework sit on the toilet because it's
only cheaper quite as place to sit on it. Yes,
and you move there to an apartments. Life change emotionally, academically, mentally,
as completely a life change, Like I mentioned the dignity
(14:53):
of the parents, because the parents, you want to give
your kids the best thing responsible. You don't have to
give view a million dollar car, but at least a
decent home. Home is home. Home is the base of
the family. Family is the base of a home. I
mean when you have a house, then you can have
your children grow up with mom and dad, or I
(15:14):
mean if you single parents, is a life changing When
you don't do that, or you live in a motel room,
I can't even imagine the parents' mind can't give to
their own children what they deserve. Has to be very
tough for the parents.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
It's one thing to want to help someone, and it's
another thing to have some semblance of resources to help someone.
But how did you go about making these steps? Even
if baby steps? You know, you don't start out feeding
twenty five thousand kids a week.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Yeah, start with one kid, one location at one boys
Girls club. One Apule eighteen, two thousand and five, four
to five o'clock PM. That said the first one, Mom
say the kid live in a motel. Then why don't
you feel in pasta? Some put things like, what don't
(16:08):
you feel in pasta? It's cheap, it's not expensive to
that one, two, three, five ten, one hundred, two hundred.
I think when we start with pasta tone there was
probably three hundred meals a day. We got to five
thousand meals of the day because every time people hear
about me all on a radio or with friends. Oh,
(16:29):
SHO would like to feed children. We need some here,
we need some there. Now we are in tourist city
in osht County, Tory, one thing and one hundred in
three location in the wash Cany know that is how
the pasta came.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
When I talked to you last year, wasn't there discussion
of others trying to use your uh blueprint internationally?
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Oh? I love that? In fact one or a friend
of mine, I never met him. My considers because he
did the first Caterinas program in Texas and from there
he will start to travel internationally. You don't filip in
it Nepal. A couple of days ago, he said India
(17:14):
and Pakistan because he saw me on CNN eleven years ago.
And I know the people are done in Ethiopia, other
people are done in Oklahoma, Texas, Chicago, New York, Mexico, Italy.
That just because they see me, or they talk to me,
or they hurt me on media and stuff like that.
(17:34):
I mean, I keep saying it's a spread of love,
a spread of kindness went internationally.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
How does that impact you when you see your work
come back to you in that way. It's one thing
when you feel the child, the child grows up and
comes back and says thank you. But when you have
people who've seen you and then want to share your
gift with the world and the world comes back to you,
how does that make you feel?
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Honestly, I don't even understand this day big the impact
that don't. I'm just Bruno do what I do and
know people as follow me do it what I do,
and I love it and reopen my heart to the
fact and a million children get feed beside ouse just
because they saw me. And but I am no ego.
(18:18):
I'm down to health and I feel like kindness is
like maybe it's my mission from God to be here
and do people who follow me too. I'm not just
saying it. I'm not a god, but I'm just like,
it's beautiful to see people off a shot and can
feed that many cases. Why can I fit ten twenty
of them? I just say start with one. I start
(18:38):
with one. I did start with one. I never start
with five thousand meals and from one meal then I start.
Here we are today and this year when we celebrate
the ten million meals, is like ten millions already and
we're going to be close to eleven million because we
saw so many weekly. It's a there's a great impact
around the world. And we all know you look at
(18:59):
the TV every t and is a lot of nues,
A lot. I mean when people look at me or
listen to us on the radio because K five is
my family, K five is Caterina's family. K five is
part of us for so many years. K five will
give us over fifty percent of the budget for what
they do. That I mean the importance of K five
(19:23):
and not just Bullo as everybody like you and everybody
was there all day today. All the people listen to
the program, all the people don'tate it online. They're the
one who should be proud to know them. Brunus off
ten million meal because it thanks to them that we've
done that.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Jefer can't get you to hang around for one more
seven because I would love to talk about your hospitality academy.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Definitely, I'm here, all right, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
You're not going anywhere. You live here, Chef Bruno more
with him in just a moment.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
We still have the party going here at the Anaheim
White House on this occasion, the fourteenth Annual CAFI Pastathon.
Just want to let you know you have about maybe
seven minutes to put in your final bid at KFIAM
six forty dot com forward slash Pastathon for the gift
or the experience of your choice. You have about seven minutes.
(20:21):
And when I hear there is a bidding war right
now for the co hosting slot with Lady with Moe Kelly,
I hear that's going on right now. That's all I'm
gonna say. But the minutes are ticking away. Your last opportunity.
And also I want to have a little bit more
conversation with Chef Bruno Serrato, who continues to join me.
(20:44):
Chef Bruno, you have your hospitality Academy, which is something
else that you are devoted to helping those who are
going to be working in this industry long after all
of us are gone. What inspired you to also put
your hands in that well?
Speaker 3 (21:02):
I was fourteen years old when I start to washing dishes,
walk in a restaurant business and boys girls club kids
when the teenager they cannot go back there. I mean,
what's the best way else to teach a kid to
do something? Teach them at work. And if you start
(21:23):
when you're young, when you're an adult, you won't be
working to walk, that's right. And I start to do
hospitality at a restaurant. Some kids walk in the back
in the kitchen, some in the dining room with my customer,
and obviously they're not professional, but my customer knows what
they do. Even if they make mistakes, they don't worry.
(21:44):
But when you work for me with me for three months,
after that, you can have a job anywhere you want
them bestically teaching them then learn something. You can find
a job tomorrow in an Hia your ady hotel that
I mean, can you hear the fireworks? That's because you're
hanging the show soon you see this.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
I hope that was fireworks from a different neighborhood. Is
that fireworks something else?
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Ninety fireworks.
Speaker 7 (22:13):
Like?
Speaker 3 (22:14):
But yeah, you teach teenager to walk at a younger age,
like I mentioned, when they get more adults, they will
look for a job in the restaurant business is an
easy job to learn and make money fast. I mean
some of our kids make like four hundred.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Dollars a month and that's nothing to sneeze at.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Leamy at a young age like they are sixteen. Yes,
it's a big deal. I mean I never mix six
four hundred a month and sixteen years old. And some
of them graduated from US, but a few of them
got hired by me, by management anyway, because they are good.
After the young girl, she was on the radio early,
she's very good. Most probably when she finished here most training,
(22:56):
she could get hired here. I have a few kids
who graduate way that the CIA Anapa Valley Culinary Institute
of America and did not do that. They did. They
did that, and I'm so proud of them because I'm
sure the philosophy is to look a job in the
hospitality in the restaurant industry and graduate a CIA with
(23:17):
talent you cast school is use, use accomplishment. And when
you see that from your own I called kids because
I feel like that my kids that's walking with you
three months you will just put to the bread at
the butt of the water and on the kitchen pil potatoes.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Detail.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Yeah, and I love it. I mean you can't see
that the passion at the beginning, they kind of like
tell me the shy they don't know that. The only
you can tell you that I don't look at them
too much. We don't want to scare them because usually
a new way to get scared by me when I'm working,
and I'm work every night. After that they get used
to and I make the jokes and they love it.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
They really love it. I know someone who's listening, who
may be thirteen, fourteen, fifteen years old, who may have
never considered or possibly has already considered doing something like this.
How can they become part of your hospitality academy.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
They can come to the restaurant. If that young teenager
I can mentioned, they say, I would like to be
part of Caterina's Club hospitality program, and we know exactly
what to do, and we will talking to that because
when we get usually thirteen kids at the time, some
of them they drop. Now it's not for me, die
(24:34):
well too far away. I mean, we always try to
change and get the new kids on board. But I
like to have ten twelve kids. I'm not talking and
they don't work for you. So's a week either, probably
fifteen hours. The more I get, the more it is better.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
You're feeding kids, you're housing kids and their parents, you
are training kids, I would say, young adults. I don't
know how you do it, but I'm glad that you
do it.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Do you know why I do that? Because someone told me,
if I keep doing that, I go to heaven first class.
I do not want to go coach, Ladies and gentlemen.
Chef Runo Serrata, thank you, my friend, Thanks everybody, Thank
you Chow.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
When we come back, we have some giveaways for you.
We're gonna give away a family four pack to the
Grits and Glamour Tour for someone who's here in the

Waitbitt, you're saying this was last year.
Speaker 7 (30:10):
Yeah, last year at ten o'clock. You want to mention
what we ended the night last year at ten o'clock.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Okay, year ago when we ended this show later with
mo Kelly and closed out pasta Pond. For twenty twenty three,
we had a total of eight hundred and fifty two thousand,
one hundred and fifty five dollars. Not bad, right, not
bad at all. That was last year. That was last
year this year. As of ten PM, and understand we
were going to in many places December eighth, we have
(30:39):
seventy eight thousand, nine hundred and fifty five pounds of
pasta and sauce.
Speaker 8 (30:43):
It's amazing.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
And I thought that I was being cute by just
claiming it when I'm calling it earlier in the evening.
We're just about there as of right now, our total
in donations nine hundred and forty five thousand, two hundred
three dollars. That means we're hitting a million before we
get to our cars tonight, that's all.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
It means.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
We're hitting a million before you pay for your valet.
Speaker 8 (31:11):
Thank you so much, and mo as we know, it's
not over yet.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
It's not over yet, not over yet.
Speaker 7 (31:16):
You can still go to Wendy's and in southern California
at any Smart and Final store. And hey, if you're
listening in Arizona and Abada, that's you two. You go
into a Smart and Final could donate any amount of checkout.
Speaker 8 (31:27):
We're gonna surpass a.
Speaker 7 (31:28):
Million dollars, Yes we are, and we're I'm gonna bet
we're gonna beat last year.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
That we are. We're just gonna claim we're just gonna
say it right now. Look, we're already ahead of last
year at this moment, so we might as well just
go ahead and blow it out of the water.
Speaker 8 (31:41):
Yes, let's say we're blowed out of the water.
Speaker 7 (31:42):
Last year it was one point three million, just over
one point three million, So we're gonna beat that.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
And then you have to start having that internal conversation
what about next year?
Speaker 5 (31:52):
What do I do next year?
Speaker 8 (31:54):
People? Thank you so much. I cannot thank you all enough.
My days on over, so.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
I pick on this.
Speaker 8 (32:01):
I'm punched drunk of this.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Is it really over? I mean, do you get to
actually leave and go home at ten o'clock? Not yet?
Speaker 5 (32:07):
Okay, so it's not really.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Over a little more.
Speaker 7 (32:10):
But thank you, mo, thank you for being here close
out the night. I appreciate it so much.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Well, I think, honestly, it'd be more appropriate if you
closed out the night, because this day begins with you,
this day ends with you, and I think the best
way we can say thank you to you, so let
you have the last word.
Speaker 5 (32:31):
Thank you.
Speaker 8 (32:32):
That's so sweet.
Speaker 7 (32:34):
Thank you so much again, thank you so much. Thank
you to all the hosts, thank you to all of you,
thank you to Katerina's Club Chef Bruno.
Speaker 8 (32:40):
I love all of you.

South Anaheim Boulevard. We're here for one more hour. You

six forty dot com forward slash pastathon for our auction items,

hundred percent of your donations are not only tax deductible,

everyone an update. This is our nine pm update. We

to air personality. She's someone who's grown in this business.
(01:51):
She had her own segment and she turned that into
her own show. Put your Hands Together for Tiffany Hops.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Thank you, Thank you all very much. I do appreciate it.
This is my second pastathon and I love it.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
I really enjoy being here.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
It is my first time actually eating food here at
pasta thon.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Ooh, how was it? I know it was good.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
I ate something I couldn't pronounce and it was delicious.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Oh that's the best kind of food. People ask you,
what did you eat is? I don't know, but it
tasted it good.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
We just kind of pointed and said, give me that.
That description looks really good, and it was. Everything here
that I've had has been wonderful. The people, the staff,
Bruno and just the entire environment is. I see why
everyone comes out and why it's such a huge event
year after year.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
You kind of took my next question, but I'm going
to ask it anyway. You have a very particular perspective.
You first could look at this from the outside end.
You could listen to Pastathon, you could listen to KFI.
You might have even come down. But that's one perspective. Yes,
now to see popon from the inside, KFI, working with
(03:04):
Smart and Final, working with Wendy's having a role to
play on air with it as well. What's it seem like?
What's it feel like?
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Now? Oh? It is.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
It's magic.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
It's magic, but that magic is very deliberate, is very intentional.
Michelle and what she does year after year should be
celebrated beyond.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
The pale it is.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
I can't imagine the amount of work it takes to
put something like this on and the fact that again
it's been fourteen years, and that it just grows with
each year. And magic is probably the best word. We
don't understand magic, but if you are lucky, you believe
in it. And I see why people invest so much
(03:51):
in this event.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
It's heartwarming.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
It really moves you to hear the stories from the
youth who are a part of the program and have
been under Bruno Serrado's tutelage. To hear Bruno talk about
Katerina's club and his mother, and just to see people
here really appreciating and supporting, it's it's very moving.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
There's been a lot of discussion about the decline of
AM radio quote never but there's been that discussion. But
it's moments like these where people are reminded the power
and also the responsibility we have is on their personalities
with this microphone. Because for all that people want to
(04:33):
use it for things unimportant, me included, there are these
moments where the power of AM radio, the power of
KFI can no exaggeration, change thousands of lives. We have
eight hundred and nine thousand dollars and eight hundred and
thirty eight dollars worth of donations in one day basis.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
On one day.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
That's the power of AM radio. That's the power of KFI.
That is the power of what we've collectively built with pastathon.
There are thousands and thousands of children who are going
to be fed. They're going to be any number untold
numbers of families who are going to be rehoused. Now.
Chef Bruno is to conduit. He is the centerpiece of
(05:17):
all this, but we all play a role in this.
We all play a part. It may be small. Your
donation may have only been five dollars today, it may
have been five hundred dollars today. It may have been
just stopping by and offering a word of support and
reminding us of what we're doing. That also has its place.
And I'm just overwhelmed again and in awe at your
(05:40):
consistent and dependable generosity. You don't have to do it.
It's one thing to say, hey, we had a great year. No,
but we're saying we had a great fourteen years and
we're building on it. And I know that I'm further
inspired by what you do collectively. I know Michelle is
inspired by what you do. We have these conversations where
(06:00):
I don't know how we're going to be able to
top it next year. Well, we don't know, but somehow
you make a way, You collectively find a way to
not only feed children, but amaze us in the process.
And Tiffany, let me come back to you, because your
story is very specific. You got to see all this grow.
(06:21):
You listen to it grow.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Yeah, listen before Pastathon was a thing. I've been a
listener since for twenty plus years. And to jump in
to KFI and see the reach into the community and
how KFI has changed as a station and continues to
be so community focused and oriented, just gives me a
lot of pride in being associated with this station and
(06:45):
just seeing again what it can do and how it
can in fact change lives. Like you said, Mo, there
are children who are now teenagers, who are now adults
who have gone through this fourteen years and have been
benefactors of this Pastathon And the fact that you can
look at people and see change is amazing. It's tangible.
(07:07):
It's not some figment of your imagination. You don't have
to it's not obscure, it's not abstract.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
These are people, and you get to see and hear.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
The stories of how this entire operation has changed lives.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
It's really special.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Now you brought some very special people with you tonight,
did you I did?
Speaker 5 (07:26):
I did.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
I brought as I did last year, my fiance TJ.
And my mother is here for her first Pastathon, Miss
Connie Hobbes. So I'm glad to share this with them.
I know, my mother is proud to be here. I
come from a radio lineage. My grandfather was a radio
(07:52):
broadcaster in Peoria, Illinois, Rannie Bryson. And so to be
able to share again this with my mother and all
of you, I am touched beyond belief.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
I want to ask you this, and look at your
mother when I ask you. Did your mother believe you
when she when you first told her that you were
going to be on KFI in a host capacity?
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, there was no doubt. There was ever.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
You know again, if you're fortunate, your parents are your
first fans and your first cheerleaders.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
And my mother has been that throughout my life.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
So to have her here now to do that just
as a testament to our relationship and her belief in
what I do.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
So I want to make her proud.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
I want to do well in this position, and I'm here,
I'm trying and it's going well. I am on Saturdays
from five to seven pm.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
Look at that.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I think that's something to be proud of and to continue. So,
if you've been listening to the five to seven pm
show Saturdays with Tiffany, thank you so much for that.
We're about two and a half months in and it
feels like it was just yesterday and I'm looking forward
to much more with the station.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Well you've heard me say it before and on to
say it again. Your success is our success. I know it. Well,
put your hands together for Tiffany Hobbs.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
Thank you guys very much.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
It's Later with Moke Kelly. We're continue to broadcast live.
You can hear. We have a nice crowd here at
the Anaheim White House. And don't forget, we still have
some grand prize giveaway, so if you're in the neighborhood,
you have to be in the house to win it.
I'm talking about a family four pack to see Pam
Tillis and Laurie Morgan as part of the Grits and
Glamour tour coming up in two days on December fifth
(09:35):
at Lamarada Theater. We're given that away, a family four pack,
and also this big ass basket we're given away, this
holiday gift basket. It can be yours, but you got
to be in the house, so come on and see us.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
We're not done because we cannot leave up out of
here without speaking to the man of the hour, or
I should say the man of the day or the
man of the year, however you want to phrase it.
Chef Bruno Serrato is good to see you, my friend.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Always nice to see my friends, so happy you would
coming tonight, and always cool to see you back in
our house.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I'm amazed, but I'm not surprised. You are so consistent
in your service of children and families. I should not
be surprised that you were here at five am, and
you'll be here to at least ten pm. You've been available,
You've been speaking with people. You've been making sure not
only that the people here here at the broadcasts are comfortable,
(10:34):
but you have customers to the restaurant is open, there's
you know, you're conducting business. I don't know how you
had the energy to do it.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
A lot of people ask me the same question. I said,
I have no idea where I come mynd that you
from me like you say, I was you at five am.
I have a full restaurant tonight. And then my plority
is said hi to every customer, said thank you for
being here in everyth and at the same time, we
saw the five thousand meals today for the kids.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
How does that work? Because I was saying, I don't
know how you do it because that is a separate
operation and corporationto itself. How are you able to manage
and monitor what is happening in the restaurant as well
as the kids who are being fair?
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Well? You always to be a good a good ceoor cfl.
You have to have good people behind you. Yes, I
have a great people in the kitchen then helping to
prepare the past us since six o'clock this morning. I
have a great people back up for the kitchen. I
have a great driver. We take the buses so Luva
(11:36):
Race County, which is the big things. And I have
a great people in office. That I mean, all the
great people surround me make me look good. I mean honestly,
we walk out, we talk, we communicate pretty much every day.
I mean every hour and hour. The restaurant is empty too.
My nephew Silvanna is my GM and in Catalina too
(12:00):
is taking care of the restaurant. But I know people
come to say hi to Mina. I have to be
here and I to say hi to everybody. And a
great chef for the restaurant to that mina. I'm surrunning
with a great amount of people, and that's why I
can't do what I do. Without them, I could not
do what I do.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Caterina's Club has grown, Pastaton has grown. You're not only
feeding children, but you're rehousing families.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Yeah, this is a big deal. The children is I
means nineteen nineteen years ago. The family is about thirteen
years ago. I met a family. They live in a
motel room for twelve years. And when I find that out,
I know idea motel room family was doing this. I
was like, well, why are you just living for so long?
(12:48):
Because you pay? Your motel is not free or not
even cheese, I said, I said, we have to pay. Yes,
when we stay here. I would love to move to
an apartment, but no way, I'm going to save three
four five thousand dollars down payment. And that was bingo,
that's the problem. It was the down payment to move
(13:09):
to an apartment. Now, the first family I moved, like
I mentioned, living thirteen years in six people and they
still live there. And a couple of weeks ago we
moved Family number two hundred and seventy three.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Two hundred and seventy three families.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
And you change life. I mean I was done in early.
When you see people move to from a motel area,
part in loto, garage car to an apartment, that's the
life change. We have to qualify them. We have to
have children, because if you have no children, you can't qualify.
I do for the safety of the kids. And you
(13:49):
have to have a job because you need to pay
your rent, have to pay the deposit, and no drugs
or art and stuff like that. I mean, when you
move them and you hear people detect in you and say,
she will thank you. My kids was the worst at
school and this morney came home and it's a student
of the month. When you hear stories and like young
(14:11):
girls don't have any friends because I'm embarrassed to live
to have my friends and a motel room. And now
that you move them out and she say, oh, I
have a lot of friends. I mean, you hear a
story like this then, which is very touchy in your heart,
then the life changing that you do. And I give
dignity back to the parents because if your father or
your mother and you have your children live in a
(14:33):
parking lot and a garage in a motel room and
your kids does homework sit on the toilet because it's
only cheaper quite as place to sit on it. Yes,
and you move there to an apartments. Life change emotionally, academically, mentally,
as completely a life change, Like I mentioned the dignity
(14:53):
of the parents, because the parents, you want to give
your kids the best thing responsible. You don't have to
give view a million dollar car, but at least a
decent home. Home is home. Home is the base of
the family. Family is the base of a home. I
mean when you have a house, then you can have
your children grow up with mom and dad, or I
(15:14):
mean if you single parents, is a life changing When
you don't do that, or you live in a motel room,
I can't even imagine the parents' mind can't give to
their own children what they deserve. Has to be very
tough for the parents.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
It's one thing to want to help someone, and it's
another thing to have some semblance of resources to help someone.
But how did you go about making these steps? Even
if baby steps? You know, you don't start out feeding
twenty five thousand kids a week.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Yeah, start with one kid, one location at one boys
Girls club. One Apule eighteen, two thousand and five, four
to five o'clock PM. That said the first one, Mom
say the kid live in a motel. Then why don't
you feel in pasta? Some put things like, what don't
(16:08):
you feel in pasta? It's cheap, it's not expensive to
that one, two, three, five ten, one hundred, two hundred.
I think when we start with pasta tone there was
probably three hundred meals a day. We got to five
thousand meals of the day because every time people hear
about me all on a radio or with friends. Oh,
(16:29):
SHO would like to feed children. We need some here,
we need some there. Now we are in tourist city
in osht County, Tory, one thing and one hundred in
three location in the wash Cany know that is how
the pasta came.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
When I talked to you last year, wasn't there discussion
of others trying to use your uh blueprint internationally?
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Oh? I love that? In fact one or a friend
of mine, I never met him. My considers because he
did the first Caterinas program in Texas and from there
he will start to travel internationally. You don't filip in
it Nepal. A couple of days ago, he said India
(17:14):
and Pakistan because he saw me on CNN eleven years ago.
And I know the people are done in Ethiopia, other
people are done in Oklahoma, Texas, Chicago, New York, Mexico, Italy.
That just because they see me, or they talk to me,
or they hurt me on media and stuff like that.
(17:34):
I mean, I keep saying it's a spread of love,
a spread of kindness went internationally.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
How does that impact you when you see your work
come back to you in that way. It's one thing
when you feel the child, the child grows up and
comes back and says thank you. But when you have
people who've seen you and then want to share your
gift with the world and the world comes back to you,
how does that make you feel?
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Honestly, I don't even understand this day big the impact
that don't. I'm just Bruno do what I do and
know people as follow me do it what I do,
and I love it and reopen my heart to the
fact and a million children get feed beside ouse just
because they saw me. And but I am no ego.
(18:18):
I'm down to health and I feel like kindness is
like maybe it's my mission from God to be here
and do people who follow me too. I'm not just
saying it. I'm not a god, but I'm just like,
it's beautiful to see people off a shot and can
feed that many cases. Why can I fit ten twenty
of them? I just say start with one. I start
(18:38):
with one. I did start with one. I never start
with five thousand meals and from one meal then I start.
Here we are today and this year when we celebrate
the ten million meals, is like ten millions already and
we're going to be close to eleven million because we
saw so many weekly. It's a there's a great impact
around the world. And we all know you look at
(18:59):
the TV every t and is a lot of nues,
A lot. I mean when people look at me or
listen to us on the radio because K five is
my family, K five is Caterina's family. K five is
part of us for so many years. K five will
give us over fifty percent of the budget for what
they do. That I mean the importance of K five
(19:23):
and not just Bullo as everybody like you and everybody
was there all day today. All the people listen to
the program, all the people don'tate it online. They're the
one who should be proud to know them. Brunus off
ten million meal because it thanks to them that we've
done that.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Jefer can't get you to hang around for one more
seven because I would love to talk about your hospitality academy.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Definitely, I'm here, all right, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
You're not going anywhere. You live here, Chef Bruno more
with him in just a moment.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
We still have the party going here at the Anaheim
White House on this occasion, the fourteenth Annual CAFI Pastathon.
Just want to let you know you have about maybe
seven minutes to put in your final bid at KFIAM
six forty dot com forward slash Pastathon for the gift
or the experience of your choice. You have about seven minutes.
(20:21):
And when I hear there is a bidding war right
now for the co hosting slot with Lady with Moe Kelly,
I hear that's going on right now. That's all I'm
gonna say. But the minutes are ticking away. Your last opportunity.
And also I want to have a little bit more
conversation with Chef Bruno Serrato, who continues to join me.
(20:44):
Chef Bruno, you have your hospitality Academy, which is something
else that you are devoted to helping those who are
going to be working in this industry long after all
of us are gone. What inspired you to also put
your hands in that well?
Speaker 3 (21:02):
I was fourteen years old when I start to washing dishes,
walk in a restaurant business and boys girls club kids
when the teenager they cannot go back there. I mean,
what's the best way else to teach a kid to
do something? Teach them at work. And if you start
(21:23):
when you're young, when you're an adult, you won't be
working to walk, that's right. And I start to do
hospitality at a restaurant. Some kids walk in the back
in the kitchen, some in the dining room with my customer,
and obviously they're not professional, but my customer knows what
they do. Even if they make mistakes, they don't worry.
(21:44):
But when you work for me with me for three months,
after that, you can have a job anywhere you want
them bestically teaching them then learn something. You can find
a job tomorrow in an Hia your ady hotel that
I mean, can you hear the fireworks? That's because you're
hanging the show soon you see this.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
I hope that was fireworks from a different neighborhood. Is
that fireworks something else?
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Ninety fireworks.
Speaker 7 (22:13):
Like?
Speaker 3 (22:14):
But yeah, you teach teenager to walk at a younger age,
like I mentioned, when they get more adults, they will
look for a job in the restaurant business is an
easy job to learn and make money fast. I mean
some of our kids make like four hundred.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Dollars a month and that's nothing to sneeze at.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Leamy at a young age like they are sixteen. Yes,
it's a big deal. I mean I never mix six
four hundred a month and sixteen years old. And some
of them graduated from US, but a few of them
got hired by me, by management anyway, because they are good.
After the young girl, she was on the radio early,
she's very good. Most probably when she finished here most training,
(22:56):
she could get hired here. I have a few kids
who graduate way that the CIA Anapa Valley Culinary Institute
of America and did not do that. They did. They
did that, and I'm so proud of them because I'm
sure the philosophy is to look a job in the
hospitality in the restaurant industry and graduate a CIA with
(23:17):
talent you cast school is use, use accomplishment. And when
you see that from your own I called kids because
I feel like that my kids that's walking with you
three months you will just put to the bread at
the butt of the water and on the kitchen pil potatoes.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Detail.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Yeah, and I love it. I mean you can't see
that the passion at the beginning, they kind of like
tell me the shy they don't know that. The only
you can tell you that I don't look at them
too much. We don't want to scare them because usually
a new way to get scared by me when I'm working,
and I'm work every night. After that they get used
to and I make the jokes and they love it.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
They really love it. I know someone who's listening, who
may be thirteen, fourteen, fifteen years old, who may have
never considered or possibly has already considered doing something like this.
How can they become part of your hospitality academy.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
They can come to the restaurant. If that young teenager
I can mentioned, they say, I would like to be
part of Caterina's Club hospitality program, and we know exactly
what to do, and we will talking to that because
when we get usually thirteen kids at the time, some
of them they drop. Now it's not for me, die
(24:34):
well too far away. I mean, we always try to
change and get the new kids on board. But I
like to have ten twelve kids. I'm not talking and
they don't work for you. So's a week either, probably
fifteen hours. The more I get, the more it is better.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
You're feeding kids, you're housing kids and their parents, you
are training kids, I would say, young adults. I don't
know how you do it, but I'm glad that you
do it.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Do you know why I do that? Because someone told me,
if I keep doing that, I go to heaven first class.
I do not want to go coach, Ladies and gentlemen.
Chef Runo Serrata, thank you, my friend, Thanks everybody, Thank
you Chow.
