Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
From Jordan's studio.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
By the very nice Exercise, Lady, Claudine Cooper is back
with us in studio. I hope you had a wonderful
Thanksgiving holiday. Claudine, it's good to see you now. For
those who don't know, I saw you on Saturday after
Thanksgiving because I tried once again to brave the elements
and come and work out with you for your free
(00:28):
community workout. And not only did we have the workout,
you also gave us a tour of iconics, the facility
and also the Hollywood Park property.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Let's talk about that hit the there you go top.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Okay, I'm on. It was so good seeing you, by
the way, it was nice to have you in the crowd,
and also you worked really hard.
Speaker 5 (00:51):
Mo.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
How's your body feeling.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
I'm less sore now than I was yesterday.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
But I even though I am fifty five, I still
have an ego and I still have and I'm not
going to fall out in front of all these people
who are both older and younger than me, who come
every single week.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
I Am not going to be shown up by nobody.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
The ego saved you that day. But yeah, no, we
took a nice little walk around, just saw the development
that's happening. You know, I live in the neighborhood, so
I walk to work and I see stuff being built
all the time. But most people just come. They do
the workout with me, and they've a lot of them
have been working out with me for many years, and
so they don't get a chance to kind of see
(01:31):
the different things that are popping up over there. And
I thought it would be a nice way for us
to move and you know, walk and get to know
one another as well.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
It was a Saturday after Thanksgiving, and it comes to
mind that I expect people would be less inclined to
work out for it being a holiday weekend. And I wonder,
and you know better than I do, just is this
a period where you're going to see more people fewer
people as you move through the holidays what usually happens.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Well, in my historical data, I've noticed that people stop
coming to the gym right around September October, and then
right around January, the whole thing picks up, right Because
that's how me and you got here, is because I
started coming in January. So what I've noticed though, Thanksgiving
week with all the people taking off for work or
(02:22):
school or whatever, is a very busy week in the gym.
This is traditionally speaking. It's like people are like, Okay,
I'm going to eat everything insight this week, so I'm
going to go ahead and buckle down in you know.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Yeah, we'd make this inner deal with themselves and eat
everything and I work out real, real hard later on
at some later date.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
We had several classes at the gym that day, from
about six in the morning until about noon. Every single
class was full of people doing group fitness exercise.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Is that something that I could probably see it every
gym or just your gym, do you think?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Well?
Speaker 4 (03:03):
I mean my gym is you know the most popp
in this gym that there.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Is no it's gorgeous.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
It's brand new, and it's expansive, all sorts of stretching
classes and.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Hot yoga and cold yoga.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
It's almost like a Starbucks in there. You can get
whatever you want just with frills.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
You absolutely can. And I say that to say there's
a lot of gyms that have expansive class schedules, but
we in Inglewood have never had this kind of a gym,
So it's very new for us, and that is why
I think there's a lot of excitement around it. But
to answer your question, even back when I used to
work at twenty four Hour Fitness on Thanksgiving, my class
(03:42):
would be literally the window to the wall.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Yeah, let's talk about that, the evolution of the concept
of the gym when you're working at twenty four Hour Fitness.
I had a membership to Bally's back in the day
and it was bare bones, and I had a membership
in more recent years up until the pandemic at LA Fitness.
How has the gym environment or what customers are expecting,
(04:10):
how has that changed?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
I see there?
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Oh you want me to Oh you're trying to roun
me up right now. Well, there's a lot of things
that have changed in the gym over the years. And
speaking of Bally's, I used to work at Bally's Total
Fitness myself. I would greet people at the door, Hello, mo,
how are you today? Welcome to Bally's Total FO. Oh
you were that person I was, Yes, I have my
chops in the gym. So I started working in the
gym when I was eighteen years old. I'm going to
(04:33):
turn fifty in January, so hopefully I can celebrate with
you guys on the air. It's I think my birthday
is actually on a Wednesday or at Thursday.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
I know we'll have k you.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
No, we won't have Kate now, but we can have
some snacks though, maybe some pizza. So with that being said,
one of the things that I've noticed that really grinds
my gears is that when we were in prior to
the pandemic years, when we were in the gym, if
I want to to work on the leg press and
you're on the leg press, I would walk up to
you and I would say, excuse me, can I work
(05:06):
in with you? And then what's the natural response.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Like oh, yeah sure or I'm done.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Feel free, But there's usually a level of courtesy.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Right, So a couple responses are normal etiquette, Yes you
can work in with me, or hey, I just have
one more set left, I'll finish up and you can
have it. Those are a couple natural responses what I've noticed,
and this is just in a very small percentage of people,
but now I'm seeing people say no, you can't work
(05:37):
in and no I'm not getting off this machine and no,
I'm going to stay on the leg press for as
long as I feel like. And I'm so flabbergasted. My
gasted is flabbered.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Okay, I would say that's not necessarily the gym, but
more function of us people in the gym.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
We change.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
From an outside perspective, I would say there are more
exotic types of classes being offered. It's not just spin class.
It's it's a special type of spin class.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
It might be you know, I'll tell you what it's okay, Okay,
because we just created a new spin class at the
gym and Inglewood that is called Spanish Spin. The instructor
speak Spanish. The music is all Latin beats. So that
class is full every Tuesday at six pm. And that's
(06:30):
just one way we've created unique classes at this particular
facility that match the community.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Right.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Look, I saw you have a stretching class. I said,
I would like to be in that.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
I would love for you to come Mondays at nine.
We play old school early early early for me. I
know it, I know it, but you can do it,
I promise. And it's a relax I mean I got
to leave my house.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
That means I have to lead by eight o'clock.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Night thirty you right down the street.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Come on.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Yeah, but that's kind of driving fast, you know. I like,
I'm being serious now. I actually like to warm up
before I stretch. I want to warm up my body.
That's just from experience, you know. I don't just fall
into a split at nine in the morning.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Sorry.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Okay, So here's the deal. We don't fall into a
splitz either. So I'll give you kind of an idea
of what this stretching class is for us, again just
mirroring what maybe is needed in the community. It's a
breath work. It's also set to music that is both
old school and new school. So you have some let's
(07:36):
say Al Green, you have some Isley Brothers, and people
lay on the mat and just relax and get their
breath together. And we're not doing any kind of rushing
into the splits or anything like that. It's a very
chill class that usually follows a very intense class.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
That's what I thought. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, a
cool down stretch.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
It is beyond the stretching and the type of specialty
spin classes. What else have you seen as far as
the expansion of the offerings of a physical gym.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Well, this is the thing. A lot of the gyms,
especially the big box gyms like the ones that we
used to work at, like the twenty fours in the
Las and the you know, the valleys as it used
to be called, they have done away with group fitness
offerings for the most part. So if you're not paying
a high priced luxury membership dues kind of thing, you're
(08:33):
not getting a bunch of different class offerings. Group fitness
is something that had a hard time coming back after
the pandemic, and that's one of the reasons why I
think it is such a special offering for us to
have in Inglewood.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
She's back in studio with us Claudine Cooper. Go to
Claudinecooper dot com. You can find out all the great
things that she's offering and doing and how you can
be a part of those. When we come back, Clauding,
what do you want to get into it's a specific.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Yes, let's talk about what you ate on Thanksgiving?
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Oh boy, everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Because we continue wellness Wednesdays with Claudine Cooper. You can
always check her out at Claudine Cooper dot com. Mark
Ronner dubbed her as the nice exercise Lady. I think
it's a little bit dismissive and reductionists and reasoning.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
I think I know it's affectionate and respectful, and it's accurate,
isn't it.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
I would say that there are people who may say
I'm nice until they do exercise with the lady.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Look, I was there Saturday. There's nothing nice about it.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
She was trying to make people pass out, and there
were some people who did go to the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I think they went to throw up.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
Yeah, the sadistic exercise lady doesn't roll off the tongue
very well.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
No, And you know, before someone actually gets to experience
what I do.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
We don't want to scare.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Well, they may think I'm a nice exercise lady. I'll
tell you a funny story. Years ago, a woman brought
her husband to my class, which was an athletic Yeah,
which was like an athletic conditioning class, which is kind
of my specialty, right, And so he comes in and
he says to her, huh, you say, she's always given
(10:15):
you these tough workouts.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Her kiss of Death and Kiss of Death.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
He threw up within the first ten minutes.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
It sounds like you took that as a challenge.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
I did it. How dare you underestimate me?
Speaker 3 (10:28):
I've done a workout twice and each time I've seen.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
People leave prematurely.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
I'll say fifteen to twenty minutes in to go and
their bathrooms nearby, and I'm thinking, like, Okay, you're not
going because you need to relieve yourself. You would have
done that before the workout, right, So anytime you're going
during the workout.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Yes, you're seeing stars.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
That's right, absolutely nostalgic.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
Back in my wrestling days, the coach would put a
waste basket with a liner in it next to the mat.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
You're not leaving the room, no, no, no, If you
have to throw up, you just do it right there.
It's happened to me in hop keto many times. I
know all the signs. I know all the signs, and
part of it is if you are dehydrator, you having
enough fluid before you even start, that's a quick way
to end up there.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
And if you start out.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Too fast and you spend all your money, as they
say early on, yeah, you'll end up throwing up.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
The other problem is if you eat something soon before
you go to workout, that's a big mistake.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Yeah, don't do that. Ever, also, don't show up with
a massive hangover.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Oh that's ah no, you know no, Yeah, you're just
asking for it. You only do that once to know
never to do that. But anyhow, you were asking before
the break clouding Cooper about food.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Speaking of eating, right, so when you go to work out,
the best rule of thumb is try to eat something
sixty to ninety minutes prior and not sooner than that.
Right on Thanksgiving, I taught a couple classes that day,
and I intermit in fast, so I don't usually eat
(12:07):
my first meal till about twelve or one. Right but
knowing that we were going to my in laws for
the feast that is Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
My adolences, I can say that you can't get it. No,
you can say that.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
You can say that, and so I ate a little
something just to stave off because I knew we weren't
going to eat till four, and I couldn't go all
the way till four. But I say that to say that,
whenever you're in a situation where you're going to work out.
It's really important to monitor how you eat and what
(12:42):
you eat. And you asked if Thanksgiving is a busy
workout day. Yes it is, but I don't recommend coming
to the gym on an empty stomach and waiting until
four or five o'clock to eat your Thanksgiving dinner. So
how did yours go? When do you guys eat flourish? Yeah,
that's about normal.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Right, we'll say we're going to meet at three and mark.
You're half black, so you'll half understand this.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
I celebrated half Black Friday.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Yeah, there's this thing called time, and we'd be showing
up a little bit late.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
If the oh I've heard about this time? Yeah, there's
a word for it. Isn't there a term?
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (13:19):
We call it ceap time.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Yes, it's a little bit dated terms. I'm not going
to use a full term. Am I allowed to operate
on Cpatino? Yes? You are.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
You'd just be half late, Okay, but if the invitation
says three o'clock, folks would be showing up at four
four point thirty.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
No means one hundred per serious, No, I'm happy to
be included in this.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Finally, Yes, well, just don't don't come to my husband's
Black families late because they are the only punctual Black family.
So when they say come at this time, it means
come at this time. And the food was ready, and
it was the traditional holiday fair you know, turkey, greens, tradition,
cheese traditional.
Speaker 6 (13:58):
Yes, how about you guys? What's traditional? It's traditional. No,
it's straight up. We don't we don't try to experiment.
We don't try to keep it a new school or
anything like that. You're gonna come, You're gonna get the
mac and cheese, you're gonna get the turkey.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
There will be some ham. I don't eat ham, but
it's there. They have the cranberry out of the can.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
It's just it's straight up traditional. There's nothing exotic about it.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Biggest question how long is too long to keep the leftovers?
Speaker 3 (14:26):
I don't eat leftovers. I'm so glad you asked that.
I think that I still had some yesterday or the
day before. You do know that, Yeah, yeah, the bacteria.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Grows by the hour. I know.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
But I was raised by people who grew up in
the depression, my grandparents, and we were not allowed to throw.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Yeah, I get that. I get that.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
And each year someone will say Hey, are you going
to take a box or a plate or you know,
a zip loc bag? And every single year I have
to remind them, no, I don't like eating leftovers. I
like the original presentation, but it will never match that consistency,
the taste, even the smell. Even though I don't dislike
the smell, it's not going to smell the same.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
It's not going to be the same level of enjoyment.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
So I just say no, it's because King Mo doesn't
eat appetite or leftovers like the peasants.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Yes, yes, King king Mo doesn't do that.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Okay, So my my big win on Thanksgiving my aunt,
my husband's aunt who's now my aunt. She makes a
German chocolate cake from scratch. It is the best cake
you've ever tasted in your entire Do you like coconut
on your cake?
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (15:36):
I love coconut period, come water, coconut anything.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
My father love love German chocolate cake. I'd never got
into German chocolate cake.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I got a side with a nice exercise lady on
this one. That sounds delicious.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Oh, let me tell you. And she said, you can
take as much as you want home, and I said, no, thanks,
I'm really trying to stay on my Oh.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Hey, wait, and I know somebody got offended.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
No, she did not, didn't know she honored. She was like,
it's fine. I was just explaining her. I'm trying to
stay because as we get older, the consumption of sugar
is a whole nother ballgame on how it makes us feel,
how it chows up on your skin.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Look, I deal with arthritis.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
If I have too much sugar, it eats at my
joints and it's hard for me to just walk period,
very conscious of my sugar intake.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Yes, and so this is the first year in my
twenty years, twenty one years of being with my husband
and going to my in laws that I have turned
down the German chocolate cake.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Yes, it's rough.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
It is really rough. Now, Mark, you should know this
in your half blackness. Yes, growing up, whenever you were
offered any food, true, you did not say no. And
I have relatives or had relatives, not many left now
or living from the Deep South, and the things that
(17:00):
they would offers, we haven't see.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
We had that. We had one night I think it
was was it Tiffany brought in the chitplins?
Speaker 5 (17:12):
Oh No, nobody's brought me in while I was here.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
No, no, no, we brought maybe it was touwala, but someone
had chiplins and that started the conversation, like Mark, you
gotta have chiitplins to be fully black.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Poor Mark. Mark is like, wait, I'm not having any chip.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
But but we had this long discussion about there are
things that I've had to eat because it was put
in front of me and it was beaten into me.
I'm being serious, like you do not say no. And
the stuff that my father's side of the family from Lynchburg, Virginia,
I can't tell you from possum and all. Now I'm
just remembering stuff, uh gator, stuff that was just put
(17:51):
in front and you just have to eat. And my
mother was always the one who was eyeballing me, saying
it's put in front of you, you better eat it.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
That's right. And now old enough, I just don't visit them. Really.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Now you're old enough, you turn down leftovers, You do
what you want to do now.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
No, I definitely feel like as we get older, we
make our own rules, whether it's for Thanksgiving, whether it's
for what we will eat or what we don't eat,
or how we will raise our children's right, right. So, yeah,
you brought back some bad memories. Sorry trauma.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Yeah, look I'm not eating fried ocre again either.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Oh I love fried Ocre. That's one of my favorite veggies.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Yes, I would eat it as a kid because always
put in front of me, and then I started looking
too closely at us, a little too slimy for me.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
It is slimy.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
There are a lot of things that I ate as
a child. Never again had chitlins. Never again. I won't
even let someone clean them in my house.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
They're trying to make me eat them because it's a
right of passage.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
We've all had to do it.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
You had to do it.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Oh I had to do it. Okay, But let me
just say this. My family did not make or eat chitlins.
My dad married a woman when I was older whose
mother prided herself on how clean she got the chitlins
and how good they were. And so she said the
bull in front of me, and I was like, ooh,
so I don't really. She was like what got offended,
(19:15):
and was like, oh, you're eating these? And I was like,
oh and I did.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
But my late aunt Raven, I know, we got to
go to break my late aunt Raven. My mother's mother's
sister had come out to California from Detroit, and she
was and I think I was maybe seven or eight
at the time she was cleaning them in the house.
I had never smelled anything so awful in all my life.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
Oh, it's Haines.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
And then had the dirty nerve to say, this is
what's for dinner tonight.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
There's Mark.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
There is nothing like smelling someone cleaning chitlins. They're really
selling me on it, and then knowing you have to
eat them because it's going to be put in front
of you.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
I've spoken like a frat brother who wants to haze
his fellow brother.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
You want me to eat this?
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Yes, I do, because I want you to go through
the same horror I did, and then we will be brothers.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
Then it's a trauma bond.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Yes, it is cunning Cooper. Always great to.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
See, always good to be here. Thanks for having me, Mo.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Well see soon, Yes you will, Yes later With Mo
Kelly caf I am six forty lave everywhere in the
iHeartRadio app. We have more tickets to give away to
Gritz and Glamour and also an update on Disneyland.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
And we often talk about Disneyland and sometimes how it
can be cost prohibitive. If you didn't see the news today,
this actually, I think is a great thing. In fact,
this is going to get me back to Disneyland sooner
than I would have normally considered. Disneyland is bringing back
the Southern California Resident Ticket Offer discount for twenty twenty
(20:54):
five for limited time eligible, so Cow residents can purchase
a three one part ticket for as little as sixty
seven dollars per person per day. Yes, I would do
that in a heartbeat if I had guests in town,
and I frequently have guests in town staying at my
house and they want to go to Disneyland, Yes, I
(21:16):
would absolutely get tickets for something like that. Because typically
tickets started one hundred and thirty nine. It's almost double,
So if you can get almost half off, that will
get me back to Disneyland. Also, you can get three
day one park tickets for a total price of one
ninety nine different ticket packages. They have the three day
(21:38):
park Hopper ticket for a total price of two eighty
nine and a three day one park per day ticket
with lightning Lane multi paths for a total of two
ninety five And let me pause for a second. I
remember when I went to Disneyland two days ago, excuse me,
two years ago, and before I got there, I'm thinking, well,
(22:00):
why would have why would I buy multi day passes?
I'm going to try to go ahead and get it
all in and one day. I don't think I'm going
to come back a second day. When I saw the
newer version of Disneyland that I had not seen, when
I got to see the Galaxy's Edge, when I got
to see a Pixar Place and California Adventure and the
(22:25):
expansive nature of those parks, then the light bulb came on.
It's like, oh, now I get it. You can't all
do this. You can't do all this in one day.
You just cannot do it all in one day. If
you did, you wouldn't enjoy it and you would not
be able to do it at a leisurely pace. And
saying nothing of sitting aside, enough time to eat, maybe
(22:47):
getting souvenirs.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
You just can't do it all in one day.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
That's why you would want to consider a multi day
pass When I have a three day park Hopper ticket
with Lightning Lane multi pass for a total of three.
It's still not cheap, but it's far better than what
it was, and I think this is what people were
waiting for or hoping for.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
I don't know why it went away.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
I don't remember when exactly it went away, but it
was something that I know a lot of people did
depend on.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
It's like, hey, I live right here.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
I would like to be able to take advantage of
the Disneyland experience more often than once every seven or
eight years. But it's hard for me to pay one
hundred and fifteen or dollars or more for each person.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Look, it's a family of four. It's like five hundred
dollars before I even walk.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
In, not including parking, not including food, not including souvenirs,
you know.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
And that's for people who live in southern Cali.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
I'm not talking about someone who's coming to California and
having to get a hotel as well.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
So this is good news. This is really good news.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
And it was funny last night at Pastathon. Sorry for
jumping around. It was around nine point thirty. We're in
the last hout of the show, and I'm a kid
from the city. All right, it sounded like there was
a lot of gunplay at nine thirty five last night,
and Chef Brutal had to say, it's okay, you know,
it's it's just a fireworks show. I was ready to
(24:11):
duck in everything because you know, after a certain point,
it sounds like someone's getting shot.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
What I would like to see Disneyland do in addition
to bringing back these limited edition tickets is bring back
the Southern California Part Pass annual pass option because the
last time my co parent and the kids had so
those passes, they were for the Southern California Resident discount,
(24:40):
which was a steal.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
At the top.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
This is good, but if you brought back those passes, Disneyland,
I yeah, I got that.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
The discount tickets can be used from January first to
twenty twenty five to May fifteenth, and can be used
on consecutive or non consecutive days as far as the
the area which is considered Southern California. You'll need proof
of residency within ZIP codes nine nine zero zero zero
zero to nine three five nine nine to purchase and
(25:12):
use the tickets, and if you don't live in Southern California,
you're well, you're asked out too bad, so said you
suck for not living in southern California. We're just better
than you.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Is that harsh? I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Let's give away some tickets Grits and Glamour Pam Tillis

It's Later with Mo Kelly KFI AM six forty live
everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
And we always talk about cruises on this show.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
And because I would talk about cruises, I was able
to interest Tauala in going on his first cruise, and
I think he had a good enough time where he
would go on it again. One of his original inhibitions,
and he can speak for himself, but one of his
original inhibitions was getting to that getting too close to
that rail and maybe ending up in the drink. And
(26:57):
I told him, as someone who's been on many cruises,
I don't go up on the rail. I know there's
nothing but water on the other side. There's nothing to see.
Whatever I want to see. I can see from six
feet back from the rail and twaller, you know, the
rail comes up to let's say your navel or something like.
Speaker 5 (27:16):
That, just just just about waste higher life below depending
on how tall you are, right right, it doesn't require
you to climb anything to end up in the water.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
And that's true even if you're in a stateroom with
the balcony. If you hit.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
A patch of water whatever and it's too strong, you're
up on that rail laying and taking the selfie.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
You're going over Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
I have never done the selfie things like Look, I'm
not going to tempt fate. I'm not going to get
caught with like a gust of wind or something's gonna
lose my balance or anything. The reason why I bring
this up because the passenger on the Ruby Princess, part
of Princess Cruises, is they to have gone overboard ahead
(28:02):
of the cruise ship's arrival earlier this week on Monday
in San Francisco, there was a search for the man
on the ship in the surrounding water and they've since called.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Off that search. Princess Cruises said.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
The seventy two year old man was found following several
searches of the vessel in others. They were looking for
him all through the ship because he was unaccounted for.
And I don't know this ship's itinerary, but just know
any time you go ashore, you have to show your
badge and they scan you out and so they know
(28:37):
where you are if you've left the ship or if
you've not returned to the ship, so they scanned you.
When you come back in, and there are cameras everywhere,
it's kind of hard.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
For you to do anything and not be seen.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
That's part of the reason why they feel that he
might have gone overboard, because he would have been seen
going into somewhere or leaving somewhere anywhere else on the ship.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Quote.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
We extend our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends
of the guests who was traveling alone. I've traveled alone
on the cruise before. It's a great experience. I don't
know what was going through this person's mind, whether he
was in a time of sadness or or he was distraught,
of there are some other contributing factors. I just know
(29:23):
I have some personal rules when I am on a
cruise ship, whether I'm alone or anyone else and I
am going to be known to drink, I don't go
up to the top deck.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
I just don't.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
I just don't one because that's most likely dark, because
I'm not day drinking. I'm really not, and sorry, Mark,
I'm not day drinking. They're on a cruise. If there's
ever a time to day I have I'm just saying
I don't. I don't, and look if I'm going to
be drinking and it's well into the evening and I'm
on the other side of Buzz the last place I
(29:55):
need to be. And I'm also very very careful because
they'll show movies on that top deck. I'm not going
near without knowing how the ship is laid out. You
have to work to get to the rail all right.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
Now, Can I ask a cruise question, since I have
not been and the two of you been trying to
talk me into this, is there an option that you
can pay for where every place you go you have
one of those clip and lifeline setups, like the workers
on the Golden Gate Bridge.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Let me put it this way.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Now, you could be on a cruise ship and do
as little or as much as you want. You can
see as little as you want, because like the ship
that we're on Tawalla, you know what I'm talking about,
it's a minor city. You have like a mall in
the middle of the ship. You can go the whole
day and not even see the water.
Speaker 5 (30:39):
But that when you be secured to something at all
times is what I'm asking to be.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Like an anchor, Yes, like those. I know what you mean.
Speaker 5 (30:46):
Mark, I've tried to walk the Golden Grate Golden Gate
bridge and was unsuccessful. No, no, Mark, No, there is
no little clip, but you can attach to the rail
harsh and go across, just in case God for you
decide to go over there. No, there's none of that, Mark.
You know what's at the edge of that boat, a
straight drop down into the water, so that you're not
going to bounce off the side of the shop. Straight down,
(31:08):
straight down. I think he's thinking it's like the ship
from My Love Lucy, Like there's a lot of stuff
to do on there.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
You can be buried in the middle of the ship.
You're nowhere near the.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Water, nowhere near nowhere you can look, and most of
the stuff that you can see the water there's like glass.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
It's like completely enclosed.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
It's not unless you're on the top deck that you
can actually get to the water if you tried.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
I don't care. I want to be secured to something
at all times.
Speaker 5 (31:32):
Just stay inside the inside of the boat. Yeah, it's
like city walk on it.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
It really is.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
I mean I went to a bar and watched the
usc LSU game. You forget that you are on a
cruise ship. I haven't been on one, but I watched
a video. I couldn't.
Speaker 5 (31:47):
If you start the video where they're walking through the
quote unquote mall you would think you're on land.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Yes, it's insane. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
And we were on a rather small ship. And when
I was when I first got on, we talked about
this earlier. I went to when they do the whole
welcome to the ship, and this is what you need
to know. I said, let her finish your presentation. I said, okay,
So how many life boats are on this ship? And
she started going there. I said, how many people can
(32:15):
sit inside one of these boats? Do we have to
take the boats down? Or are you helping us? Are
there life wrapped on? Is there food on these boats?
What is on these boats when we get on them?
How do you decide who gets on first?
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Is?
Speaker 3 (32:28):
What if I'm out here first? All those are great
questions that used to be when I first started cruising.
They had everyone in the whole ship lineup at our
reporting stations.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
I can't remember what the names of it is.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
And they would go through all those things and they're
all stand ups, like this is where you need to
go in case of emergency.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
They don't do that anymore now.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
They just basically hand you a card and they put
it on your TV in the stateroom where it's like
emergency stuff, because you usually have to do all that
before they would actually set sail as this call.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Yeah, it was just you know, I had fifty eleven questions.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
Mark, I was not trying to end up in that water,
and she had like four answers. Yeah, and she just
she just looked at me with this pleading look, like
please certain, no more questions. Did she explain how long
before people in lifeboats turned to cannibalism? Nope, no, And
I would probably have gone there. I probably would have
asked something along that light, is there anything happening in
(33:28):
the champagne room on these life rasks if I happen
to get trapped with a female passor Look. All I'm
saying is I had a lot of questions on the
specific I had a lot of questions, a lot of curiosities.
And all I can say is, when I was eating
dinner one evening and staring out over to the abyss
that is the ocean, I said to myself, t you
(33:51):
go in there, You're dead.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
It's it's it can't be scary if you're looking at
it at night, because it is black. When I say black,
it's darker than black in the city because you'd have
city lights. When you're out at sea, there's only the
light of the ship and if you're lucky, moonlight outside
of that.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Pitch pitch black black terrifying. It can be, it can be.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
That's why I don't go near the rail, especially at night,
for that reason.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Well, sign me right up.
Speaker 5 (34:27):
You know we have to mark seriously. It is one
of the best experiences ever. It is amazing, and I
promise you it is not a COVID festival like you
think it is, just because one person drowned. You know
those harnessed things that like kindergartener classes have when they
all go out for a walk.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
That's a leash.
Speaker 5 (34:47):
But yeah, yeah, if we're all on one of those together,
maybe that's it. I can buy one. I mean, that's
your only require to prove in. Let's see it first,
and then maybe it's.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Only for you. I'm not wearing one. We're all wearing it.
Long suffering, you know, we all have to be hooked
up together, is what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
No, no, no, no, no, you're gonna drown on your own.
It's later with Mo Kelly. We're live everywhere in the
iHeartRadio app.

You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
From Jordan's studio.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
By the very nice Exercise, Lady, Claudine Cooper is back
with us in studio. I hope you had a wonderful
Thanksgiving holiday. Claudine, it's good to see you now. For
those who don't know, I saw you on Saturday after
Thanksgiving because I tried once again to brave the elements
and come and work out with you for your free
(00:28):
community workout. And not only did we have the workout,
you also gave us a tour of iconics, the facility
and also the Hollywood Park property.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Let's talk about that hit the there you go top.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Okay, I'm on. It was so good seeing you, by
the way, it was nice to have you in the crowd,
and also you worked really hard.
Speaker 5 (00:51):
Mo.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
How's your body feeling.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
I'm less sore now than I was yesterday.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
But I even though I am fifty five, I still
have an ego and I still have and I'm not
going to fall out in front of all these people
who are both older and younger than me, who come
every single week.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
I Am not going to be shown up by nobody.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
The ego saved you that day. But yeah, no, we
took a nice little walk around, just saw the development
that's happening. You know, I live in the neighborhood, so
I walk to work and I see stuff being built
all the time. But most people just come. They do
the workout with me, and they've a lot of them
have been working out with me for many years, and
so they don't get a chance to kind of see
(01:31):
the different things that are popping up over there. And
I thought it would be a nice way for us
to move and you know, walk and get to know
one another as well.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
It was a Saturday after Thanksgiving, and it comes to
mind that I expect people would be less inclined to
work out for it being a holiday weekend. And I wonder,
and you know better than I do, just is this
a period where you're going to see more people fewer
people as you move through the holidays what usually happens.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Well, in my historical data, I've noticed that people stop
coming to the gym right around September October, and then
right around January, the whole thing picks up, right Because
that's how me and you got here, is because I
started coming in January. So what I've noticed though, Thanksgiving
week with all the people taking off for work or
(02:22):
school or whatever, is a very busy week in the gym.
This is traditionally speaking. It's like people are like, Okay,
I'm going to eat everything insight this week, so I'm
going to go ahead and buckle down in you know.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Yeah, we'd make this inner deal with themselves and eat
everything and I work out real, real hard later on
at some later date.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
We had several classes at the gym that day, from
about six in the morning until about noon. Every single
class was full of people doing group fitness exercise.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Is that something that I could probably see it every
gym or just your gym, do you think?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Well?
Speaker 4 (03:03):
I mean my gym is you know the most popp
in this gym that there.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Is no it's gorgeous.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
It's brand new, and it's expansive, all sorts of stretching
classes and.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Hot yoga and cold yoga.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
It's almost like a Starbucks in there. You can get
whatever you want just with frills.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
You absolutely can. And I say that to say there's
a lot of gyms that have expansive class schedules, but
we in Inglewood have never had this kind of a gym,
So it's very new for us, and that is why
I think there's a lot of excitement around it. But
to answer your question, even back when I used to
work at twenty four Hour Fitness on Thanksgiving, my class
(03:42):
would be literally the window to the wall.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Yeah, let's talk about that, the evolution of the concept
of the gym when you're working at twenty four Hour Fitness.
I had a membership to Bally's back in the day
and it was bare bones, and I had a membership
in more recent years up until the pandemic at LA Fitness.
How has the gym environment or what customers are expecting,
(04:10):
how has that changed?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
I see there?
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Oh you want me to Oh you're trying to roun
me up right now. Well, there's a lot of things
that have changed in the gym over the years. And
speaking of Bally's, I used to work at Bally's Total
Fitness myself. I would greet people at the door, Hello, mo,
how are you today? Welcome to Bally's Total FO. Oh
you were that person I was, Yes, I have my
chops in the gym. So I started working in the
gym when I was eighteen years old. I'm going to
(04:33):
turn fifty in January, so hopefully I can celebrate with
you guys on the air. It's I think my birthday
is actually on a Wednesday or at Thursday.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
I know we'll have k you.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
No, we won't have Kate now, but we can have
some snacks though, maybe some pizza. So with that being said,
one of the things that I've noticed that really grinds
my gears is that when we were in prior to
the pandemic years, when we were in the gym, if
I want to to work on the leg press and
you're on the leg press, I would walk up to
you and I would say, excuse me, can I work
(05:06):
in with you? And then what's the natural response.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Like oh, yeah sure or I'm done.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Feel free, But there's usually a level of courtesy.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Right, So a couple responses are normal etiquette, Yes you
can work in with me, or hey, I just have
one more set left, I'll finish up and you can
have it. Those are a couple natural responses what I've noticed,
and this is just in a very small percentage of people,
but now I'm seeing people say no, you can't work
(05:37):
in and no I'm not getting off this machine and no,
I'm going to stay on the leg press for as
long as I feel like. And I'm so flabbergasted. My
gasted is flabbered.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Okay, I would say that's not necessarily the gym, but
more function of us people in the gym.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
We change.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
From an outside perspective, I would say there are more
exotic types of classes being offered. It's not just spin class.
It's it's a special type of spin class.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
It might be you know, I'll tell you what it's okay, Okay,
because we just created a new spin class at the
gym and Inglewood that is called Spanish Spin. The instructor
speak Spanish. The music is all Latin beats. So that
class is full every Tuesday at six pm. And that's
(06:30):
just one way we've created unique classes at this particular
facility that match the community.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Right.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Look, I saw you have a stretching class. I said,
I would like to be in that.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
I would love for you to come Mondays at nine.
We play old school early early early for me. I
know it, I know it, but you can do it,
I promise. And it's a relax I mean I got
to leave my house.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
That means I have to lead by eight o'clock.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Night thirty you right down the street.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Come on.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Yeah, but that's kind of driving fast, you know. I like,
I'm being serious now. I actually like to warm up
before I stretch. I want to warm up my body.
That's just from experience, you know. I don't just fall
into a split at nine in the morning.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Sorry.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Okay, So here's the deal. We don't fall into a
splitz either. So I'll give you kind of an idea
of what this stretching class is for us, again just
mirroring what maybe is needed in the community. It's a
breath work. It's also set to music that is both
old school and new school. So you have some let's
(07:36):
say Al Green, you have some Isley Brothers, and people
lay on the mat and just relax and get their
breath together. And we're not doing any kind of rushing
into the splits or anything like that. It's a very
chill class that usually follows a very intense class.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
That's what I thought. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, a
cool down stretch.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
It is beyond the stretching and the type of specialty
spin classes. What else have you seen as far as
the expansion of the offerings of a physical gym.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Well, this is the thing. A lot of the gyms,
especially the big box gyms like the ones that we
used to work at, like the twenty fours in the
Las and the you know, the valleys as it used
to be called, they have done away with group fitness
offerings for the most part. So if you're not paying
a high priced luxury membership dues kind of thing, you're
(08:33):
not getting a bunch of different class offerings. Group fitness
is something that had a hard time coming back after
the pandemic, and that's one of the reasons why I
think it is such a special offering for us to
have in Inglewood.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
She's back in studio with us Claudine Cooper. Go to
Claudinecooper dot com. You can find out all the great
things that she's offering and doing and how you can
be a part of those. When we come back, Clauding,
what do you want to get into it's a specific.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Yes, let's talk about what you ate on Thanksgiving?
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Oh boy, everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Because we continue wellness Wednesdays with Claudine Cooper. You can
always check her out at Claudine Cooper dot com. Mark
Ronner dubbed her as the nice exercise Lady. I think
it's a little bit dismissive and reductionists and reasoning.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
I think I know it's affectionate and respectful, and it's accurate,
isn't it.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
I would say that there are people who may say
I'm nice until they do exercise with the lady.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Look, I was there Saturday. There's nothing nice about it.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
She was trying to make people pass out, and there
were some people who did go to the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I think they went to throw up.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
Yeah, the sadistic exercise lady doesn't roll off the tongue
very well.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
No, And you know, before someone actually gets to experience
what I do.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
We don't want to scare.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Well, they may think I'm a nice exercise lady. I'll
tell you a funny story. Years ago, a woman brought
her husband to my class, which was an athletic Yeah,
which was like an athletic conditioning class, which is kind
of my specialty, right, And so he comes in and
he says to her, huh, you say, she's always given
(10:15):
you these tough workouts.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Her kiss of Death and Kiss of Death.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
He threw up within the first ten minutes.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
It sounds like you took that as a challenge.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
I did it. How dare you underestimate me?
Speaker 3 (10:28):
I've done a workout twice and each time I've seen.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
People leave prematurely.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
I'll say fifteen to twenty minutes in to go and
their bathrooms nearby, and I'm thinking, like, Okay, you're not
going because you need to relieve yourself. You would have
done that before the workout, right, So anytime you're going
during the workout.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Yes, you're seeing stars.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
That's right, absolutely nostalgic.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
Back in my wrestling days, the coach would put a
waste basket with a liner in it next to the mat.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
You're not leaving the room, no, no, no, If you
have to throw up, you just do it right there.
It's happened to me in hop keto many times. I
know all the signs. I know all the signs, and
part of it is if you are dehydrator, you having
enough fluid before you even start, that's a quick way
to end up there.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
And if you start out.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Too fast and you spend all your money, as they
say early on, yeah, you'll end up throwing up.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
The other problem is if you eat something soon before
you go to workout, that's a big mistake.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Yeah, don't do that. Ever, also, don't show up with
a massive hangover.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Oh that's ah no, you know no, Yeah, you're just
asking for it. You only do that once to know
never to do that. But anyhow, you were asking before
the break clouding Cooper about food.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Speaking of eating, right, so when you go to work out,
the best rule of thumb is try to eat something
sixty to ninety minutes prior and not sooner than that.
Right on Thanksgiving, I taught a couple classes that day,
and I intermit in fast, so I don't usually eat
(12:07):
my first meal till about twelve or one. Right but
knowing that we were going to my in laws for
the feast that is Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
My adolences, I can say that you can't get it. No,
you can say that.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
You can say that, and so I ate a little
something just to stave off because I knew we weren't
going to eat till four, and I couldn't go all
the way till four. But I say that to say that,
whenever you're in a situation where you're going to work out.
It's really important to monitor how you eat and what
(12:42):
you eat. And you asked if Thanksgiving is a busy
workout day. Yes it is, but I don't recommend coming
to the gym on an empty stomach and waiting until
four or five o'clock to eat your Thanksgiving dinner. So
how did yours go? When do you guys eat flourish? Yeah,
that's about normal.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Right, we'll say we're going to meet at three and mark.
You're half black, so you'll half understand this.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
I celebrated half Black Friday.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Yeah, there's this thing called time, and we'd be showing
up a little bit late.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
If the oh I've heard about this time? Yeah, there's
a word for it. Isn't there a term?
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (13:19):
We call it ceap time.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Yes, it's a little bit dated terms. I'm not going
to use a full term. Am I allowed to operate
on Cpatino? Yes? You are.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
You'd just be half late, Okay, but if the invitation
says three o'clock, folks would be showing up at four
four point thirty.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
No means one hundred per serious, No, I'm happy to
be included in this.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Finally, Yes, well, just don't don't come to my husband's
Black families late because they are the only punctual Black family.
So when they say come at this time, it means
come at this time. And the food was ready, and
it was the traditional holiday fair you know, turkey, greens, tradition,
cheese traditional.
Speaker 6 (13:58):
Yes, how about you guys? What's traditional? It's traditional. No,
it's straight up. We don't we don't try to experiment.
We don't try to keep it a new school or
anything like that. You're gonna come, You're gonna get the
mac and cheese, you're gonna get the turkey.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
There will be some ham. I don't eat ham, but
it's there. They have the cranberry out of the can.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
It's just it's straight up traditional. There's nothing exotic about it.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Biggest question how long is too long to keep the leftovers?
Speaker 3 (14:26):
I don't eat leftovers. I'm so glad you asked that.
I think that I still had some yesterday or the
day before. You do know that, Yeah, yeah, the bacteria.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Grows by the hour. I know.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
But I was raised by people who grew up in
the depression, my grandparents, and we were not allowed to throw.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Yeah, I get that. I get that.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
And each year someone will say Hey, are you going
to take a box or a plate or you know,
a zip loc bag? And every single year I have
to remind them, no, I don't like eating leftovers. I
like the original presentation, but it will never match that consistency,
the taste, even the smell. Even though I don't dislike
the smell, it's not going to smell the same.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
It's not going to be the same level of enjoyment.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
So I just say no, it's because King Mo doesn't
eat appetite or leftovers like the peasants.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Yes, yes, King king Mo doesn't do that.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Okay, So my my big win on Thanksgiving my aunt,
my husband's aunt who's now my aunt. She makes a
German chocolate cake from scratch. It is the best cake
you've ever tasted in your entire Do you like coconut
on your cake?
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (15:36):
I love coconut period, come water, coconut anything.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
My father love love German chocolate cake. I'd never got
into German chocolate cake.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I got a side with a nice exercise lady on
this one. That sounds delicious.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Oh, let me tell you. And she said, you can
take as much as you want home, and I said, no, thanks,
I'm really trying to stay on my Oh.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Hey, wait, and I know somebody got offended.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
No, she did not, didn't know she honored. She was like,
it's fine. I was just explaining her. I'm trying to
stay because as we get older, the consumption of sugar
is a whole nother ballgame on how it makes us feel,
how it chows up on your skin.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Look, I deal with arthritis.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
If I have too much sugar, it eats at my
joints and it's hard for me to just walk period,
very conscious of my sugar intake.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Yes, and so this is the first year in my
twenty years, twenty one years of being with my husband
and going to my in laws that I have turned
down the German chocolate cake.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Yes, it's rough.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
It is really rough. Now, Mark, you should know this
in your half blackness. Yes, growing up, whenever you were
offered any food, true, you did not say no. And
I have relatives or had relatives, not many left now
or living from the Deep South, and the things that
(17:00):
they would offers, we haven't see.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
We had that. We had one night I think it
was was it Tiffany brought in the chitplins?
Speaker 5 (17:12):
Oh No, nobody's brought me in while I was here.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
No, no, no, we brought maybe it was touwala, but someone
had chiplins and that started the conversation, like Mark, you
gotta have chiitplins to be fully black.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Poor Mark. Mark is like, wait, I'm not having any chip.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
But but we had this long discussion about there are
things that I've had to eat because it was put
in front of me and it was beaten into me.
I'm being serious, like you do not say no. And
the stuff that my father's side of the family from Lynchburg, Virginia,
I can't tell you from possum and all. Now I'm
just remembering stuff, uh gator, stuff that was just put
(17:51):
in front and you just have to eat. And my
mother was always the one who was eyeballing me, saying
it's put in front of you, you better eat it.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
That's right. And now old enough, I just don't visit them. Really.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Now you're old enough, you turn down leftovers, You do
what you want to do now.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
No, I definitely feel like as we get older, we
make our own rules, whether it's for Thanksgiving, whether it's
for what we will eat or what we don't eat,
or how we will raise our children's right, right. So, yeah,
you brought back some bad memories. Sorry trauma.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Yeah, look I'm not eating fried ocre again either.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Oh I love fried Ocre. That's one of my favorite veggies.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Yes, I would eat it as a kid because always
put in front of me, and then I started looking
too closely at us, a little too slimy for me.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
It is slimy.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
There are a lot of things that I ate as
a child. Never again had chitlins. Never again. I won't
even let someone clean them in my house.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
They're trying to make me eat them because it's a
right of passage.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
We've all had to do it.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
You had to do it.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Oh I had to do it. Okay, But let me
just say this. My family did not make or eat chitlins.
My dad married a woman when I was older whose
mother prided herself on how clean she got the chitlins
and how good they were. And so she said the
bull in front of me, and I was like, ooh,
so I don't really. She was like what got offended,
(19:15):
and was like, oh, you're eating these? And I was like,
oh and I did.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
But my late aunt Raven, I know, we got to
go to break my late aunt Raven. My mother's mother's
sister had come out to California from Detroit, and she
was and I think I was maybe seven or eight
at the time she was cleaning them in the house.
I had never smelled anything so awful in all my life.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
Oh, it's Haines.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
And then had the dirty nerve to say, this is
what's for dinner tonight.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
There's Mark.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
There is nothing like smelling someone cleaning chitlins. They're really
selling me on it, and then knowing you have to
eat them because it's going to be put in front
of you.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
I've spoken like a frat brother who wants to haze
his fellow brother.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
You want me to eat this?
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Yes, I do, because I want you to go through
the same horror I did, and then we will be brothers.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
Then it's a trauma bond.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Yes, it is cunning Cooper. Always great to.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
See, always good to be here. Thanks for having me, Mo.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Well see soon, Yes you will, Yes later With Mo
Kelly caf I am six forty lave everywhere in the
iHeartRadio app. We have more tickets to give away to
Gritz and Glamour and also an update on Disneyland.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
And we often talk about Disneyland and sometimes how it
can be cost prohibitive. If you didn't see the news today,
this actually, I think is a great thing. In fact,
this is going to get me back to Disneyland sooner
than I would have normally considered. Disneyland is bringing back
the Southern California Resident Ticket Offer discount for twenty twenty
(20:54):
five for limited time eligible, so Cow residents can purchase
a three one part ticket for as little as sixty
seven dollars per person per day. Yes, I would do
that in a heartbeat if I had guests in town,
and I frequently have guests in town staying at my
house and they want to go to Disneyland, Yes, I
(21:16):
would absolutely get tickets for something like that. Because typically
tickets started one hundred and thirty nine. It's almost double,
So if you can get almost half off, that will
get me back to Disneyland. Also, you can get three
day one park tickets for a total price of one
ninety nine different ticket packages. They have the three day
(21:38):
park Hopper ticket for a total price of two eighty
nine and a three day one park per day ticket
with lightning Lane multi paths for a total of two
ninety five And let me pause for a second. I
remember when I went to Disneyland two days ago, excuse me,
two years ago, and before I got there, I'm thinking, well,
(22:00):
why would have why would I buy multi day passes?
I'm going to try to go ahead and get it
all in and one day. I don't think I'm going
to come back a second day. When I saw the
newer version of Disneyland that I had not seen, when
I got to see the Galaxy's Edge, when I got
to see a Pixar Place and California Adventure and the
(22:25):
expansive nature of those parks, then the light bulb came on.
It's like, oh, now I get it. You can't all
do this. You can't do all this in one day.
You just cannot do it all in one day. If
you did, you wouldn't enjoy it and you would not
be able to do it at a leisurely pace. And
saying nothing of sitting aside, enough time to eat, maybe
(22:47):
getting souvenirs.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
You just can't do it all in one day.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
That's why you would want to consider a multi day
pass When I have a three day park Hopper ticket
with Lightning Lane multi pass for a total of three.
It's still not cheap, but it's far better than what
it was, and I think this is what people were
waiting for or hoping for.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
I don't know why it went away.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
I don't remember when exactly it went away, but it
was something that I know a lot of people did
depend on.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
It's like, hey, I live right here.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
I would like to be able to take advantage of
the Disneyland experience more often than once every seven or
eight years. But it's hard for me to pay one
hundred and fifteen or dollars or more for each person.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Look, it's a family of four. It's like five hundred
dollars before I even walk.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
In, not including parking, not including food, not including souvenirs,
you know.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
And that's for people who live in southern Cali.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
I'm not talking about someone who's coming to California and
having to get a hotel as well.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
So this is good news. This is really good news.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
And it was funny last night at Pastathon. Sorry for
jumping around. It was around nine point thirty. We're in
the last hout of the show, and I'm a kid
from the city. All right, it sounded like there was
a lot of gunplay at nine thirty five last night,
and Chef Brutal had to say, it's okay, you know,
it's it's just a fireworks show. I was ready to
(24:11):
duck in everything because you know, after a certain point,
it sounds like someone's getting shot.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
What I would like to see Disneyland do in addition
to bringing back these limited edition tickets is bring back
the Southern California Part Pass annual pass option because the
last time my co parent and the kids had so
those passes, they were for the Southern California Resident discount,
(24:40):
which was a steal.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
At the top.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
This is good, but if you brought back those passes, Disneyland,
I yeah, I got that.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
The discount tickets can be used from January first to
twenty twenty five to May fifteenth, and can be used
on consecutive or non consecutive days as far as the
the area which is considered Southern California. You'll need proof
of residency within ZIP codes nine nine zero zero zero
zero to nine three five nine nine to purchase and
(25:12):
use the tickets, and if you don't live in Southern California,
you're well, you're asked out too bad, so said you
suck for not living in southern California. We're just better
than you.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Is that harsh? I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Let's give away some tickets Grits and Glamour Pam Tillis
and Lauri Morgan at Lamarada Theater tomorrow evening, December fifth.
If you can't go tomorrow evening, you have no business
calling in. Let's give away a pair of tickets right

It's Later with Mo Kelly KFI AM six forty live
everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
And we always talk about cruises on this show.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
And because I would talk about cruises, I was able
to interest Tauala in going on his first cruise, and
I think he had a good enough time where he
would go on it again. One of his original inhibitions,
and he can speak for himself, but one of his
original inhibitions was getting to that getting too close to
that rail and maybe ending up in the drink. And
(26:57):
I told him, as someone who's been on many cruises,
I don't go up on the rail. I know there's
nothing but water on the other side. There's nothing to see.
Whatever I want to see. I can see from six
feet back from the rail and twaller, you know, the
rail comes up to let's say your navel or something like.
Speaker 5 (27:16):
That, just just just about waste higher life below depending
on how tall you are, right right, it doesn't require
you to climb anything to end up in the water.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
And that's true even if you're in a stateroom with
the balcony. If you hit.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
A patch of water whatever and it's too strong, you're
up on that rail laying and taking the selfie.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
You're going over Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
I have never done the selfie things like Look, I'm
not going to tempt fate. I'm not going to get
caught with like a gust of wind or something's gonna
lose my balance or anything. The reason why I bring
this up because the passenger on the Ruby Princess, part
of Princess Cruises, is they to have gone overboard ahead
(28:02):
of the cruise ship's arrival earlier this week on Monday
in San Francisco, there was a search for the man
on the ship in the surrounding water and they've since called.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Off that search. Princess Cruises said.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
The seventy two year old man was found following several
searches of the vessel in others. They were looking for
him all through the ship because he was unaccounted for.
And I don't know this ship's itinerary, but just know
any time you go ashore, you have to show your
badge and they scan you out and so they know
(28:37):
where you are if you've left the ship or if
you've not returned to the ship, so they scanned you.
When you come back in, and there are cameras everywhere,
it's kind of hard.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
For you to do anything and not be seen.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
That's part of the reason why they feel that he
might have gone overboard, because he would have been seen
going into somewhere or leaving somewhere anywhere else on the ship.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Quote.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
We extend our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends
of the guests who was traveling alone. I've traveled alone
on the cruise before. It's a great experience. I don't
know what was going through this person's mind, whether he
was in a time of sadness or or he was distraught,
of there are some other contributing factors. I just know
(29:23):
I have some personal rules when I am on a
cruise ship, whether I'm alone or anyone else and I
am going to be known to drink, I don't go
up to the top deck.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
I just don't.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
I just don't one because that's most likely dark, because
I'm not day drinking. I'm really not, and sorry, Mark,
I'm not day drinking. They're on a cruise. If there's
ever a time to day I have I'm just saying
I don't. I don't, and look if I'm going to
be drinking and it's well into the evening and I'm
on the other side of Buzz the last place I
(29:55):
need to be. And I'm also very very careful because
they'll show movies on that top deck. I'm not going
near without knowing how the ship is laid out. You
have to work to get to the rail all right.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
Now, Can I ask a cruise question, since I have
not been and the two of you been trying to
talk me into this, is there an option that you
can pay for where every place you go you have
one of those clip and lifeline setups, like the workers
on the Golden Gate Bridge.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Let me put it this way.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Now, you could be on a cruise ship and do
as little or as much as you want. You can
see as little as you want, because like the ship
that we're on Tawalla, you know what I'm talking about,
it's a minor city. You have like a mall in
the middle of the ship. You can go the whole
day and not even see the water.
Speaker 5 (30:39):
But that when you be secured to something at all
times is what I'm asking to be.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Like an anchor, Yes, like those. I know what you mean.
Speaker 5 (30:46):
Mark, I've tried to walk the Golden Grate Golden Gate
bridge and was unsuccessful. No, no, Mark, No, there is
no little clip, but you can attach to the rail
harsh and go across, just in case God for you
decide to go over there. No, there's none of that, Mark.
You know what's at the edge of that boat, a
straight drop down into the water, so that you're not
going to bounce off the side of the shop. Straight down,
(31:08):
straight down. I think he's thinking it's like the ship
from My Love Lucy, Like there's a lot of stuff
to do on there.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
You can be buried in the middle of the ship.
You're nowhere near the.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Water, nowhere near nowhere you can look, and most of
the stuff that you can see the water there's like glass.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
It's like completely enclosed.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
It's not unless you're on the top deck that you
can actually get to the water if you tried.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
I don't care. I want to be secured to something
at all times.
Speaker 5 (31:32):
Just stay inside the inside of the boat. Yeah, it's
like city walk on it.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
It really is.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
I mean I went to a bar and watched the
usc LSU game. You forget that you are on a
cruise ship. I haven't been on one, but I watched
a video. I couldn't.
Speaker 5 (31:47):
If you start the video where they're walking through the
quote unquote mall you would think you're on land.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Yes, it's insane. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
And we were on a rather small ship. And when
I was when I first got on, we talked about
this earlier. I went to when they do the whole
welcome to the ship, and this is what you need
to know. I said, let her finish your presentation. I said, okay,
So how many life boats are on this ship? And
she started going there. I said, how many people can
(32:15):
sit inside one of these boats? Do we have to
take the boats down? Or are you helping us? Are
there life wrapped on? Is there food on these boats?
What is on these boats when we get on them?
How do you decide who gets on first?
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Is?
Speaker 3 (32:28):
What if I'm out here first? All those are great
questions that used to be when I first started cruising.
They had everyone in the whole ship lineup at our
reporting stations.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
I can't remember what the names of it is.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
And they would go through all those things and they're
all stand ups, like this is where you need to
go in case of emergency.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
They don't do that anymore now.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
They just basically hand you a card and they put
it on your TV in the stateroom where it's like
emergency stuff, because you usually have to do all that
before they would actually set sail as this call.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Yeah, it was just you know, I had fifty eleven questions.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
Mark, I was not trying to end up in that water,
and she had like four answers. Yeah, and she just
she just looked at me with this pleading look, like
please certain, no more questions. Did she explain how long
before people in lifeboats turned to cannibalism? Nope, no, And
I would probably have gone there. I probably would have
asked something along that light, is there anything happening in
(33:28):
the champagne room on these life rasks if I happen
to get trapped with a female passor Look. All I'm
saying is I had a lot of questions on the
specific I had a lot of questions, a lot of curiosities.
And all I can say is, when I was eating
dinner one evening and staring out over to the abyss
that is the ocean, I said to myself, t you
(33:51):
go in there, You're dead.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
It's it's it can't be scary if you're looking at
it at night, because it is black. When I say black,
it's darker than black in the city because you'd have
city lights. When you're out at sea, there's only the
light of the ship and if you're lucky, moonlight outside
of that.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Pitch pitch black black terrifying. It can be, it can be.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
That's why I don't go near the rail, especially at night,
for that reason.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Well, sign me right up.
Speaker 5 (34:27):
You know we have to mark seriously. It is one
of the best experiences ever. It is amazing, and I
promise you it is not a COVID festival like you
think it is, just because one person drowned. You know
those harnessed things that like kindergartener classes have when they
all go out for a walk.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
That's a leash.
Speaker 5 (34:47):
But yeah, yeah, if we're all on one of those together,
maybe that's it. I can buy one. I mean, that's
your only require to prove in. Let's see it first,
and then maybe it's.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Only for you. I'm not wearing one. We're all wearing it.
Long suffering, you know, we all have to be hooked
up together, is what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
No, no, no, no, no, you're gonna drown on your own.
