Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Kf I AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio
app and mo Kelly I'll be with you until ten
o'clock tonight. And you may have heard during the news
break with Mark Ronner, he had a story about how
the NBA has just announced that they're postponing, not canceling,
but postponing the Spurs Lakers game and the Hornets Clippers game.
(00:45):
Both were scheduled tomorrow on Saturday, and they will be
played at a later date.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Quote.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
The NBA and the Clippers and Lakers organizations have been
in communication with local officials in Los Angeles and Inglewood
about the ongoing situation in the Los Angeles area and
the game postponements ensure no resources will be diverted from
the wildfire response efforts.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Close quote that came from the league.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
And if you don't know, if you ever go to
any professional sporting venteror even college for that matter, you
will see a law enforcement presence. You will see first
responded presence. Because of there's a large venue, you have
to have a certain amount of staff to accommodate those events,
and yes, to hold the event is to take resources
(01:32):
away which could be allocated for the fires. And there
is this ongoing debate which dates back to World War II. Actually,
if you know your history about whether we should be
playing sports events during times of crisis or times of war,
or when there's a terrorist attack, and there are arguments
(01:54):
for both sides. If you go back to World War II,
some people will wrongly try to remember it as the
United States canceling the World Series during World War Two.
Now it was not canceled, but there were travel restrictions
issues and teams had depleted rosters due to players serving
(02:18):
in the war.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
The nineteen forty five.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Major League League Baseball All Star Game was canceled due
to travel restrictions. That's what I think a lot of
people wrongly confuse the All Star Game with the World Series.
In fact, nineteen forty three, the World Series was played
in New York for Games one, two, and three. They
had to modify the travel because there were travel restrictions
during World War Two. But it's been an ongoing debate,
(02:44):
and we know that. For example, the Rams Minnesota Vikings game,
which was scheduled for Sofi Stadium on Monday has been
moved to Arizona to be played that night. Here's the argument,
at least historically, why we play these games. Sometimes sometimes
(03:05):
they're canceled, sometimes they're postponed, but usually the pressure is
to play the game. And part of it is there's
a feeling that we are serving a purpose of providing
some sort of solace, comfort and normality to people who've
been affected. No, it's not going to help someone get
(03:27):
their house back. Noa's not going to help someone who's
been evacuated. No, it's not going to make anyone feel
better in that regard. But there's something to be said
for having the distraction, the emotional distraction, to make sure
that there's a continuity in life, that there is not
a disruption of all things in life. In fact, Lakers
(03:48):
coach JJ Reddick said that he wanted to play the
games to just give some people something to root for,
something to feel good about. I'm paraphrasing him, but that's
pretty much what he said. I get that, I get
that America historically has turned to sports during the darkest
times in our history. We've always turned to sports, and
(04:12):
that's why, Yes, we can be cynical and say they
don't want to postpone it. They don't want to cancel
it because they're worried about losing money. Yes, that is
a part of it, but if you look at the
greater historical view, there is a real argument to support
the idea that you still play the game. You still
play the game because it helps people who are suffering emotionally.
(04:36):
Going back to the terrorist attack New Year's Day New
Year's Morning, there was a push to still have the
Sugar Bowl that day, but the logistics and the danger
and what I believe to be other possible credible threats,
discretion was the better part of valor. So they just
postponed it for one day, but they didn't cancel it
(04:59):
all together. This is a part of that ongoing debate,
and I don't think that there's any right answer. If
you don't care anything about sports, you probably say postpone it,
cancel it.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
I don't give a damn. I get that. I get
that Mark Ronter.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Might be one of those people, because he's not He's
confirmed a nonsports guy.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
No, but just let decency and intelligence be your guide
with these things. It's the same with any event.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
It is, but.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Some people may not interpret playing the game as being
decent or appropriate. And I think that there is an
argument argument to make that it may not seem it,
but it serves a different purpose which may not be.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Evident or obvious to the non sports fan.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
I see that point. And yeah, I mean you make
me think of World War Two, especially where people observed
certain rituals just to keep their spirits up. Yeah, yeah,
you know, not you know, show the Jerry's that were
not broken, right, I mean, it goes.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
To the whole idea of what was happening after nine
to eleven. There are plenty of examples. The fact that
they even finished the Olympics at all. I mean, there
was in argument to be made that they just should
have canceled the rest of the Olympics in Munich after
the Israeli athletes were killed.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Well, yeah, I don't think it was President Carter ever
fully lived down canceling the Olympics, and what was it,
seventy six, It was.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Well put its way in nineteen eighty we were supposed
to go to Russia, to Soviet Union, and he did not, Okay, okay,
And I guess that was during the Carter administration that
he made that decision.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
It's always a judgment call, though, and you see people
who are so tone deaf can't read the room during
other serious events. You know, I've blocked people like famous
artists and things like that on Twitter because they couldn't
stop with the insane self promotion. It's like, you can
give this a break for a day, you can, do
(07:02):
you understand what's happening right Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:04):
You can't. I mean there is such a thing as
time and place. Yeah, And we may disagree about what
the time and place may be for this or that,
but we should be able to agree that there is
something called time and place. You know, there's a time
to maybe make some jokes about what's happening right now.
I don't know what those are, but I'm saying, but
this is not the time. This is not the time
(07:26):
to reach for that humor. There's a time, I would say,
to look at what were some of the precipitating events
and why this happened and who's responsible.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
I don't think now is that time. I honestly don't.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
I mean the other side of that coin is that
gallows humor keeps people sane, but use your head, but.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Not everyone can.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
I don't think everyone is born with the ability to
be able to distinguish between right and wrong, right time,
wrong time.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Common sense ain't all that common. If you're in doubt,
it's okay to keep your mouth shut. You don't have
to say something about everything all the time. It's almost
impossible these days with social media. It's almost as if
people feel compelled. And I was arguing with someone about this.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
But you don't have to weigh in on every fricking thing,
especially when it doesn't have anything to do with you.
You have no discernible, applicable experience or reference point or
connection to it exactly.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
The world will get along without your hot take on
absolutely everything during a crisis.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I remember I was arguing with this so called former
firefighter in Australia and he was determined to tell me
what happened in LA and why everything evolved the way
that it did. I said, look, I'm not denying that
you have professional experience, but you really don't know the
(08:53):
lay of the land here. Literally, you don't know what
Santa Ana wins are I can tell you about out
there and Pacific palisage. You have no reference point. It's
better if you just shut the f up.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Just stop. Stop.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
I almost envy you leaving x slash Twitter because the
sheer quantity of awful takes on this situation is just overwhelming.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
It does more harm than good. It's look, talk about
gallows humor.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
It is ridiculous how people are vaccine experts and immunologists
one day, and then the next day they're experts on
fire hydrants, and then the next day the experts on
the testing procedures to become LA fire department chief. It's like, stop,
(09:43):
you don't need to have an authoritative stance on every
fricking thing.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Yeah, suddenly there has been a proliferation of experts on
fire hydrant tech.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Yes, And then you realize, oh, you're just regurgitating what
you read somewhere of some source which affirms what you
want to believe.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
And it's usually some crank, and you're better off listening
to the drunk sitting at the end of the bar.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
It's not much different. It's pretty much the same, except
the drunk is probably more honest.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
I'm not going to name any names right now. The
drunk probably has is.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Probably less consumed with pushing a particular political point, at.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Least drunks at the end of the bar are a
little bit entertaining. No, no, no, usually obnoxious.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Come on, I run into a fair share of drunks
at the end of the bar.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Now you're hanging out at the wrong bars. Moll we'll
fix that out crisis over. No, I don't go to
bars anymore. That time is behind me for a number
of reasons. One because I'm married and I don't have
the time of my life to hang out of the bar.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Now.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I will go to the occasional bar that's a part
of like a meal or something. If I'm having a
meal somewhere and there's a bar, then I'll get a
drink from the bar. But I'm not going to the
bar to have six seven drinks or something like that.
I'm trying to help you, but you're resisting it. No, no, no, no,
I've had that time in my life. You need to
tell Isabella that, because she still has more of that
(11:05):
time in front of her.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
I don't those days are behind me.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
I don't even think she's old enough to go to one.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
I do be arrested. I'm old enough and I've done enough.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
I walked into the air mix yesterday and and made
an announcement for the fetuses in the room, and she
was it was one of them. Yes, attention fetuses, Isabelle.
Are you under the age of twenty seven?
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Sir? Okay, so you were you born this century? Yes? Damn,
I am legally allowed to be at bars.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
I will.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
I'll leave you with that, all right. Are you allowed
to rent a car? No? Oh?
Speaker 2 (11:49):
KFI AM six forty alive everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Six.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Mister Mokeller, here live everyone in I Heart Radio app.
How should I phrase this? The Fork reporter Neil Savandra
Fork reporter, he's talking mess Remember how I talked about
how Planet Fitness UFC other places were opening up their
businesses to allow people who have been displaced or evacuated
(12:44):
somewhere they could charge their devices, take a shower. And
I talked about the importance of something as simple as
a shower, how meaningful it could be. And Fork reporter
decided to text me Neil Savager and he said, quote,
no one would offer you a free shower because we
(13:04):
all know you refuse to take a short shower.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
That's four k quarter.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Now, let me give you some context of what he's
referring to many years ago. In fact, it had to
be at least ten years ago. It was before I
got married. We were going through one of these draughts
or whatever, and we were told to conserve water. And
I got on my high horse and said, wait a minute.
(13:30):
I live in a townhouse. I don't have a lawn. Okay,
I'm unmarried, I live by myself. My water footprint is minuscule,
it's tiny. I don't wash my car at my house. Okay,
I'm not wasting water or anything like that. And I said,
(13:54):
I like taking twenty minute showers. Isabella. Look her eyes just.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Lit it like, that's exactly what I said. What are
you doing in there, sir?
Speaker 2 (14:04):
It is like a massage, a twenty minute hot shower,
the water buffeting off my beautiful ass.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Thanks for the visual. Well you asked, can you hit
the dump button on that? No, don't.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Don't you dump that.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
My point is that was my guilty pleasure back in
the twenty teams. Okay, and I got a lot of
hate for that. How dare you take a twenty minute shower?
We're enduring a drought, you need to save every drop.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
And this was my argument.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Are you saying that the people who have a house
of four or five people their water.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Footprint is the same as mine.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Are you saying that those four individuals are all taking
five minute showers and that somehow is different from my
one person taking twenty minute shower.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
I can see little kid Mo being like, look at
what those kids are doing. Forget about me. All I'm
saying is they chose to live in the big ass house.
They chose the cars.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
That they're washing in the driveway, they chose to water
the lawn, and I'm living in the townhouse with no lawn.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
I'm not washing my car.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
And my guilty pleasure is I'm taking a twenty minute shower, all.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Right, and I'm paying for the water. Let's not forget
I'm paying for it. It's not like I'm getting it donated.
It's not like I'm stealing from someone else. It's not
like I have a pool in the backyard.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
So that's what Nil Savage was talking about, saying that
I'd be turned away from Planet Fitness, I'd be turned
away from a UFC gym because of my proclivity to
take long showers. He's wrong. Well, I mean, he's right.
I do take long showers, but no one can turn
me away.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Nope.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
I'm glad you're owning it and appear to be proud
of it somehow. That's uh, that's inspiring.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
All terrific. I not be proud of it. Now. If
we were to get into.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Everyone's bathing habits and hygiene, I'm quite sure we'd find
some objectionable things in there.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
I don't know what you're suggesting, but I smell glorious.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
I'm suggesting that when you run into me, you know,
I am clean.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Actually, I try not to get that close to you.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Well, I'll just say, just in an oft chance that
you might be near me, you know, And I use soap,
I used the olnerant, I even use athlete's foot.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
I'm dry between my toes. I am happy simply to
take your word for all this, all of it.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Oh, I'm saying the sense my integrity was impugned by
Neil Savager. I feel compelled to clear my name. Hmm,
whose side to take in this matter? Do we have music? Decision?
Making music? Since Neil went there and he's listening right now?
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (17:06):
By the way, Isabella. If he tries to call in,
do not accept his call. If he tries to connect that,
you know, like comrades everything, do not allow him on
the air. He's not allowed to Rebut anything that I've said, wow, okay,
he started it, I'm going to finish it.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
So let me just ask the question, since.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
We're here, what is the appropriate length of a shower?
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Then this just in, I'm not the shower police right.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Right next you'll try to tell me how many times
I'm allowed to flush?
Speaker 3 (17:37):
No, but I I.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Myself am a frequent flusher. But I like your strategy
of pointing to other people who do things worse than
you to justify a bad thing you do.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
That's brilliant. No, it's not a bad thing to do.
Put it this way.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
If you are living in a house not by yourself,
not by yourself, let's say three people, and you have
the dirty nerve after you wash your car and you
water your lawn and you draw a bath for all
your dirty ass crumb snatching kids, and you want to
tell me that I'm out of line for my single,
(18:14):
unmarried living by myself, no lawn, having no car washing
behind Take a twenty minute shower. You're saying that I
am the one who's wrong. No, I'm going to point
out your hypocrisy. Thank you very much. Let's go to breath.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Oh no, no, no, let me pleent me paraphrase. Hey, don't
you dare? Oh I can't look at the time. Now, no, no,
you can't let me paraphrase. So if I can role
play as mister Kelly, careful now, okay, no, officer, I
only killed one person. Look at those people over there
who committed ten homicides.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Okay, I'm gonna use your analogy. I'm gonna use your
analogy against you. It's almost like the people wanting to
make a citizen's arrest because they have no power over me.
The officer has the power to arrest. He has arresting power,
she has arresting powers. These random people out there don't
have any agency over me.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
They take showers. I take showers. Okay, did you ask
them how long their showers were? No?
Speaker 2 (19:09):
The whole point is it's none of their freaking business.
Stay out of my bedroom, stay out of my shower.
You don't want to be scolded, only scalded. I don't
want or scout or scalded. You gotta be quicker on
those rim shots. Isabella Isabelle. I don't think she even
knows where it is. I don't think I'll find it.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
See, she hasn't been.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Instructed, Steph is a horrible teacher, has not shown her
anything important, or she knows where it is and doesn't
find anything. You say funny, which I think is the
more likely.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
You make me ill and angry.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
You make me ill and angry. I'm dancing night away.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Can I go to breakdown? Please? Please?
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I beg you now that everyone knows how I shower,
and I yes, I use old spice.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Gross. Okay, are you gonna make me wait? Now? That's
sound so wrong.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
And just to let you know, I'm quite sure Mark
Runner or I will have the new mandatory evacuation orders
which have been just passed out as an expansion relative
to the Palisades fire, and it has to do with
the four or five freeway. I'm going to get those
specifics in just a moment for you so we can
have it for you. Last hour I was talking about,
(20:29):
actually this hour, I was talking about how sporting events.
We try not to cancel them. We'll postpone them if
we can, because it has to do with the general
mood and making sure that there's not as much of
a disruption in American life. And sometimes people look to
sports for a distraction, a diversion from the reality in
(20:54):
which they may be dealing with. But less on that
totem pole, if you will, is Hollywood in general. And
Hollywood has been forced to cancel all sorts of events
because of the many fires. You might have heard that
Wicked at the Pantagious Theater two nights of Wicked has
been canceled due to the fires. Thursday's performance Yesterday was
(21:18):
canceled after Yesterday's show was also pushed back, and in
a statement posted on Facebook on Wednesday, the pantage Is said,
the performance by the Wicked Touring Company is canceled quote
due to extreme winds and fire conditions close quote as
of today. The evening performance set for Thursday, January ninth,
was scheduled to go on, but they had to cancel
(21:41):
that as well. Severnth Season two premiere, Apple's premiere and
red carpet for seventh Season two was originally set from Monday,
January thirteenth has been canceled. Apple said it is donating
to relief efforts. PGA Awards Nomination is the Producer's Guild
pushed nominations announcements for its annual award show back to
(22:04):
Sunday the twelfth. This Sunday, the WGA the Writers Guild
Association Award Nomination set its postponing the release of its
annual awards nominations, pushing it to January thirteenth. AARP Movies
for Grown Up Awards that was set to take place
on the eleventh, as in tomorrow at the Beverly Wiltshire
(22:25):
and Beverly Hills, but that has been postponed and the
ceremony has not yet been rescheduled. The Oscar nominations has
been shifted from Friday the seventeenth next Friday, to Sunday
the nineteenth. The twenty twenty five Critics Choice Awards, which
was originally set for this Sunday, has been postponed and
(22:47):
it would have been the thirtieth annual ceremony, and it
was supposed to take place at the Santa Monica Airport
Barker Hangar. Chelsea Handler was supposed to be the host
for the third consecutive time, but at this point it
is tentatively scheduled for January twenty six. And I say
tentatively because with all of these fires, some of them
(23:07):
are only eight percent containment or limited containment, new fires
popping up, we just can't say for sure that these
dates are hard and fast. The British Academy of Film
and Television Arts tea party, the BAFT Awards has been canceled.
It was originally set to take place Saturday, as in
Tomorrow the eleventh, at the Beverly Hills Four Seasons Hotel,
(23:30):
as I said, has been canceled, not postponed. The Last
show Girl Premiere, an La Premiere a Glass show Girl
from Gia Coppola and Kate Gearston, set to be held
at the TCL Chinese Theater this upcoming Wednesday, has been canceled.
The film's cast, led by Pamela Anderson, would have appeared
on a red carpet to do press ahead of the
(23:52):
screening of the film, which was Golden Globe nominated. SAG
Award nominations. The in person presentation of nominations for the
Screen Actors Guild Awards has been canceled. But the nominations
have been revealed. The Wolfman premiere. Wolfman is the actual
title of the movie. I actually want to see this movie.
(24:13):
The premiere of the movie was supposed to take place
Tuesday night earlier this week at the TCL Chinese Theater.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
That's just not going to happen.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Back in Action Premiere, the Return of Jamie Fox to
at least a small Screen, which was for Netflix, was canceled,
and TV productions sets for the following TV productions have
also gone dark because of the fires. Told you about
the Lakers home games which were postponed, Rams home game
(24:44):
which was moved, But that's just a small sampling of
some of the many postponements cancelations. Hollywood has been obviously
highly impacted from the fires, not just because there is
an element of Hollywood who lived in the Pacific Palisades,
but of course the Hollywood Hills fire. And I think
(25:06):
it is appropriate to cancel and postpone these events.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
We're talking about with Mark Roner about being toned deaf.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
There's certain events that you really can and you really
should cancel because there's not a need for them to
go on. And also it just like the sporting events.
It pulls resources first responders away from the other more
important duties of fighting these fires. And there will be
more cancelations as we go on. Mark, were you getting
(25:35):
ready to jump in?
Speaker 4 (25:36):
No, no, I just just but since I'm on the mic,
I mean, the last thing that a lot of people
want to see when they're in the middle of a
life and death emergency is a bunch of preening celebrities
on a red carpet.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Yeah, you definitely don't want that, and that just adds
to the negative view for some for some of the
idea of Hollywood.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
You know, you just don't need that.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
Right about that, there are a number of things that
you can put on pause.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Yes, KFI A six forty were live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. We'll have more and definitely before the end
of the hour, we'll have the specifics on that expanded
mandatory evacuation orders which have just been handed down regarding
the Palisades fire.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
KFI Mo Kelly, We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
And about those evacuation orders, they were expanded this evening.
For the areas near the Palisades fire, the evacuation order
is in effect from Sunset Boulevard North to Encino Reservoir,
from the four h five Freeway west to Mandeville Canyon.
(26:56):
And this area was previously in an evacuation warning zone
and now has been upgraded to a mandatory evacuation order. So,
of course, even though it may not have been mandatory
prior to right about now, it is a mandatory evacuation order.
Please leave if you are in that area, and it's
(27:17):
in effect from Sunset Boulevard North to Encino Reservoir, from
the four or five Freeway west to Mandeville Canyon, Mandatory evacuation,
mandatory evacuation.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Do not wait.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Hopefully you have prepared accordingly, or maybe you've already left
the vicinity, but do not wait. Mandatory evacuation order is
in effect from Sunset Boulevard North to in Sino Reservoir,
from the four or five Freeway west to Mandeville Canyon.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
And there are.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Other events which have been canceled or postponed due to
the fires and the across all media, it's not just TV,
it's not just movies, it's not just music. And in
the next hour we'll talk about how the different industries
breaking them down, how they're planning to try to help out.
(28:13):
I know the music industry receive a lot of communications
from various organizations within the music industry as far as
how they're going to pool all their resources to help
fire victims. I know the movie industry and various studios
will tell you about, from Paramount to Disney what they
are going to do, and also television studios. If anything
(28:36):
is encouraging about this is that we're hopefully being able
to cut through all the unimportant stuff and get to
the important stuff, which is the people. The people who
have lost their houses, the people who don't know where
to go, the people who are looking for some sort
of sense to be made of this. You know, it's
(28:58):
one thing to talk about losing everything in the abstract.
It's another thing to see people go through it. I
have not gone through it, but I can say at
this point I know it eight people personally personally who've
lost everything, and for me, that's unconscionable.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Yeah, we'd say all the time that it's they're just things.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
They're all replaceable as long as you have your loved
ones and your pets, and you have your health. Everything's okay,
everything's manageable, And that intellectually may be true, but emotionally
it's definitely not true. Emotionally, just because you have the
shirt on your back, it does not mean that everything
(29:48):
is going to be okay. You have to take it
from what I understand day to day, moment to moment,
minute to minute, and just work through the problems that
you can, how whatever you can, with whatever is available
to do it.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
Am I warm to Walla, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
You're beyond your I said, you're burning hot. You are
beyond warm. You are beyond warm. I've spent the day
combing through videos of friends, lifelong friends, childhood friends, high school, college,
just friends who have been posting videos of the remains
(30:28):
of their houses. People who live around the corner from me,
people who live up the street, people who live down
the block who have lost everything. Who people, Some people
who were out of town and came back in the
hopes that their houses were still there, only to find rubble.
And one friend who was hospitalized it had was sick,
(30:52):
had a very very bad case of pneumonia, got out
and come home to find out there is no home
to return to and it is shocking. You said something
earlier that it really really hit me when you said
it that sometimes something as simple as having a place
(31:12):
to lay your head for the night, it means everything
in the world. And so you know, bravo to all
the organizations, all the places that are providing place to live.
Because I know my co parents side, she got me
a brand new air mattress yesterday, so that you know
that way when I got back to her house, I
would have a place to lay down. And if no
(31:33):
idea what it meant to lay down and just fall asleep,
I knocked out so hard and everything seemed to in
that moment. That moment, just having a nice place to
lay down and put a blanket over my head my
whole world to all the tension, all the stress I've
been feeling, it's just it washed away. And so to
(31:55):
know that there are so many people out there, all
the AIRBA means and hotels that are fall up right now,
it's it's unspeakable to not have that, but right now,
so many people do, thousands upon thousands.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Right now. We're looking at this fire coming down here
right now, right now, burning up property.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
And the thing is I was saying to you out
in the hallways, like one seems like la can't get
a break in Each day there's another new major fire.
And just because the first fourteen or so didn't touch you,
the fifteenth might. Although you might not have been evacuated
as of yet, you might still be evacuated. Although that
(32:36):
you've been evacuated once, it doesn't mean that that's going
to be the only time that you're going to be
forced to evacuate. Because these fires are popping up in
such widely distinct areas, you know, Pacific Palisades two and
working its way down four or five, you know, and
all those communities, be it Santa Monica and south of
(32:58):
Santa Monica poss into the Westwood area. There's no telling
where all this is going. We don't know where the
next fire is going to be. It just seems like
southern California can't get a break. And so if you
haven't been impacted yet doesn't mean that you won't tomorrow.
That's part of the reason why we talk about this,
because you may need to know this information before you
(33:22):
find yourself evacuated, not after, but before, so you have
a reference point if you should be evacuated, because there
are people who weren't evacuated yesterday, but from this mandatory
evacuation I just told you about earlier. Now they're in
the process of evacuating and they have to consider all
the things that we've been talking about the past two
or three days.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
Yes, this is important, the information is very important.
Speaker 5 (33:47):
I really do hope people heed when you say that
the evacuation is in order, because again I have some
friends who unfortunately did not heed the importance of the
evacuation orders when they received them, and they thought that
they had time, not knowing that with these sol col
(34:07):
wins we've been experiencing, you know, and as my friend
who joined us last night as a firefighter, the wind
is moving these flames in ways that we've never seen before.
When it comes to sol Cal wildfires, you don't know
how soon or when it's going to hit you. Our
friends who live in out in the Long Loom Auta
that's all gone, who had just enough time to see
(34:30):
the flames sparking at the house next door before they
knew what their house was already on fire. They could
only grab you know, their kids, their animals, maybe some
bag of dog food and they're out the door. They
didn't even have time to think about what to grab.
There was no go bags that they had ready to
go because they thought we got all the time in
the world, will wait till we see it or no, no,
(34:52):
no no. If you've received an evacuation order, heed that
pack your go bags. Gets your sense the things that
you know you cannot live without, not things you want,
get the things you need and be out.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Well.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
We mentioned this before, and unfortunately it's tragic for some,
but it's a rare opportunity for others, if only because
let's say you had not considered the idea of a
go bag on Tuesday. Maybe you have by now and
you have it in place and you're getting evacuated on
(35:27):
a Friday, and you're not caught off guard or ill prepared.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
It can be an opportunity.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
But that's provided you're using this time and.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
This information wisely.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
That's why we keep repeating it, That's why we keep
reminding you, that's why we keep stressing the importance of
having these things.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
And you know, look, I had to refresh my go bag.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
It was fine for like an earthquake, but it really
wasn't fire ready for those types of things as far
as having the goggles and or some sort of breathing
apparatus to help me if it happened to be a
high ash or very very poor air quality area. Just
you have to consider different things now. And my wife
(36:11):
and I we sat down and made sure that we
had the the paper documents that were really important. Could
be like social security cars, it could be the deed
to the house, any type of physical media that we
think that we need, like hard drives. It that way,
you know, you know it's digital media, but it's a
(36:34):
physical drive. You got to make sure that you have
that as well. Not everything's in the cloud now. And
then I've been thinking about this if there is some
saving grace where now in an age where a lot
of people do have much of this on the cloud
or some sort of portable digital storage and you may
(36:55):
not have to search through all the closet because I
have a drive which has all my tax information, all
business records, all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
It's on my desk.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
I pick it up, it fits in my hand and
I don't have to think about it go and the
rest of it's all on you in the cloud as well.
But I have a physical backup as well. That's just
thinking ahead over the years. But I had to learn
from other people. It was other people's tragedies which taught
me about how to prepare and what to prepare if
(37:29):
in the event that I have to go, and go quickly,
and let someone else's pain be your professor, Let someone
else's tragedy be your teacher if need be. And I'm
not saying I'm wishing that on anyone. But don't let
the wisdom and the lesson just escape you.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
Don't.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
You don't have to go through the same things as
everyone else.
Speaker 3 (37:52):
You don't have to.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
There's enough information and there's enough instruction out there where
you can avoid some unnecessary pain. Get your stuff together, now,
get your documents together, now, get your go back together.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
Now.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
Why because there's seemingly going to be another fire either
tonight or you might get that inappropriate emergency alert message
and it might be real this time around, and you
might have to go at a moment's notice. But you
don't have to worry about whether you have everything ready
to go. You can just literally wake up, get up,
(38:28):
walk out the door, and you and your family and
some very important items will be safe and with you,
and that sometimes has to be enough. Ky if I

break with Mark Ronner, he had a story about how
the NBA has just announced that they're postponing, not canceling,
but postponing the Spurs Lakers game and the Hornets Clippers game.
(00:45):
Both were scheduled tomorrow on Saturday, and they will be
played at a later date.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Quote.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
The NBA and the Clippers and Lakers organizations have been
in communication with local officials in Los Angeles and Inglewood
about the ongoing situation in the Los Angeles area and
the game postponements ensure no resources will be diverted from
the wildfire response efforts.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Close quote that came from the league.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
And if you don't know, if you ever go to
any professional sporting venteror even college for that matter, you
will see a law enforcement presence. You will see first
responded presence. Because of there's a large venue, you have
to have a certain amount of staff to accommodate those events,
and yes, to hold the event is to take resources
(01:32):
away which could be allocated for the fires. And there
is this ongoing debate which dates back to World War II. Actually,
if you know your history about whether we should be
playing sports events during times of crisis or times of war,
or when there's a terrorist attack, and there are arguments
(01:54):
for both sides. If you go back to World War II,
some people will wrongly try to remember it as the
United States canceling the World Series during World War Two.
Now it was not canceled, but there were travel restrictions
issues and teams had depleted rosters due to players serving
(02:18):
in the war.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
The nineteen forty five.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Major League League Baseball All Star Game was canceled due
to travel restrictions. That's what I think a lot of
people wrongly confuse the All Star Game with the World Series.
In fact, nineteen forty three, the World Series was played
in New York for Games one, two, and three. They
had to modify the travel because there were travel restrictions
during World War Two. But it's been an ongoing debate,
(02:44):
and we know that. For example, the Rams Minnesota Vikings game,
which was scheduled for Sofi Stadium on Monday has been
moved to Arizona to be played that night. Here's the argument,
at least historically, why we play these games. Sometimes sometimes
(03:05):
they're canceled, sometimes they're postponed, but usually the pressure is
to play the game. And part of it is there's
a feeling that we are serving a purpose of providing
some sort of solace, comfort and normality to people who've
been affected. No, it's not going to help someone get
(03:27):
their house back. Noa's not going to help someone who's
been evacuated. No, it's not going to make anyone feel
better in that regard. But there's something to be said
for having the distraction, the emotional distraction, to make sure
that there's a continuity in life, that there is not
a disruption of all things in life. In fact, Lakers
(03:48):
coach JJ Reddick said that he wanted to play the
games to just give some people something to root for,
something to feel good about. I'm paraphrasing him, but that's
pretty much what he said. I get that, I get
that America historically has turned to sports during the darkest
times in our history. We've always turned to sports, and
(04:12):
that's why, Yes, we can be cynical and say they
don't want to postpone it. They don't want to cancel
it because they're worried about losing money. Yes, that is
a part of it, but if you look at the
greater historical view, there is a real argument to support
the idea that you still play the game. You still
play the game because it helps people who are suffering emotionally.
(04:36):
Going back to the terrorist attack New Year's Day New
Year's Morning, there was a push to still have the
Sugar Bowl that day, but the logistics and the danger
and what I believe to be other possible credible threats,
discretion was the better part of valor. So they just
postponed it for one day, but they didn't cancel it
(04:59):
all together. This is a part of that ongoing debate,
and I don't think that there's any right answer. If
you don't care anything about sports, you probably say postpone it,
cancel it.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
I don't give a damn. I get that. I get
that Mark Ronter.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Might be one of those people, because he's not He's
confirmed a nonsports guy.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
No, but just let decency and intelligence be your guide
with these things. It's the same with any event.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
It is, but.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Some people may not interpret playing the game as being
decent or appropriate. And I think that there is an
argument argument to make that it may not seem it,
but it serves a different purpose which may not be.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Evident or obvious to the non sports fan.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
I see that point. And yeah, I mean you make
me think of World War Two, especially where people observed
certain rituals just to keep their spirits up. Yeah, yeah,
you know, not you know, show the Jerry's that were
not broken, right, I mean, it goes.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
To the whole idea of what was happening after nine
to eleven. There are plenty of examples. The fact that
they even finished the Olympics at all. I mean, there
was in argument to be made that they just should
have canceled the rest of the Olympics in Munich after
the Israeli athletes were killed.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Well, yeah, I don't think it was President Carter ever
fully lived down canceling the Olympics, and what was it,
seventy six, It was.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Well put its way in nineteen eighty we were supposed
to go to Russia, to Soviet Union, and he did not, Okay, okay,
And I guess that was during the Carter administration that
he made that decision.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
It's always a judgment call, though, and you see people
who are so tone deaf can't read the room during
other serious events. You know, I've blocked people like famous
artists and things like that on Twitter because they couldn't
stop with the insane self promotion. It's like, you can
give this a break for a day, you can, do
(07:02):
you understand what's happening right Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:04):
You can't. I mean there is such a thing as
time and place. Yeah, And we may disagree about what
the time and place may be for this or that,
but we should be able to agree that there is
something called time and place. You know, there's a time
to maybe make some jokes about what's happening right now.
I don't know what those are, but I'm saying, but
this is not the time. This is not the time
(07:26):
to reach for that humor. There's a time, I would say,
to look at what were some of the precipitating events
and why this happened and who's responsible.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
I don't think now is that time. I honestly don't.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
I mean the other side of that coin is that
gallows humor keeps people sane, but use your head, but.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Not everyone can.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
I don't think everyone is born with the ability to
be able to distinguish between right and wrong, right time,
wrong time.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Common sense ain't all that common. If you're in doubt,
it's okay to keep your mouth shut. You don't have
to say something about everything all the time. It's almost
impossible these days with social media. It's almost as if
people feel compelled. And I was arguing with someone about this.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
But you don't have to weigh in on every fricking thing,
especially when it doesn't have anything to do with you.
You have no discernible, applicable experience or reference point or
connection to it exactly.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
The world will get along without your hot take on
absolutely everything during a crisis.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I remember I was arguing with this so called former
firefighter in Australia and he was determined to tell me
what happened in LA and why everything evolved the way
that it did. I said, look, I'm not denying that
you have professional experience, but you really don't know the
(08:53):
lay of the land here. Literally, you don't know what
Santa Ana wins are I can tell you about out
there and Pacific palisage. You have no reference point. It's
better if you just shut the f up.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Just stop. Stop.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
I almost envy you leaving x slash Twitter because the
sheer quantity of awful takes on this situation is just overwhelming.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
It does more harm than good. It's look, talk about
gallows humor.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
It is ridiculous how people are vaccine experts and immunologists
one day, and then the next day they're experts on
fire hydrants, and then the next day the experts on
the testing procedures to become LA fire department chief. It's like, stop,
(09:43):
you don't need to have an authoritative stance on every
fricking thing.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Yeah, suddenly there has been a proliferation of experts on
fire hydrant tech.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Yes, And then you realize, oh, you're just regurgitating what
you read somewhere of some source which affirms what you
want to believe.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
And it's usually some crank, and you're better off listening
to the drunk sitting at the end of the bar.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
It's not much different. It's pretty much the same, except
the drunk is probably more honest.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
I'm not going to name any names right now. The
drunk probably has is.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Probably less consumed with pushing a particular political point, at.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Least drunks at the end of the bar are a
little bit entertaining. No, no, no, usually obnoxious.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Come on, I run into a fair share of drunks
at the end of the bar.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Now you're hanging out at the wrong bars. Moll we'll
fix that out crisis over. No, I don't go to
bars anymore. That time is behind me for a number
of reasons. One because I'm married and I don't have
the time of my life to hang out of the bar.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Now.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I will go to the occasional bar that's a part
of like a meal or something. If I'm having a
meal somewhere and there's a bar, then I'll get a
drink from the bar. But I'm not going to the
bar to have six seven drinks or something like that.
I'm trying to help you, but you're resisting it. No, no, no, no,
I've had that time in my life. You need to
tell Isabella that, because she still has more of that
(11:05):
time in front of her.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
I don't those days are behind me.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
I don't even think she's old enough to go to one.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
I do be arrested. I'm old enough and I've done enough.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
I walked into the air mix yesterday and and made
an announcement for the fetuses in the room, and she
was it was one of them. Yes, attention fetuses, Isabelle.
Are you under the age of twenty seven?
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Sir? Okay, so you were you born this century? Yes? Damn,
I am legally allowed to be at bars.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
I will.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
I'll leave you with that, all right. Are you allowed
to rent a car? No? Oh?

KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Six.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Mister Mokeller, here live everyone in I Heart Radio app.
How should I phrase this? The Fork reporter Neil Savandra
Fork reporter, he's talking mess Remember how I talked about
how Planet Fitness UFC other places were opening up their
businesses to allow people who have been displaced or evacuated
(12:44):
somewhere they could charge their devices, take a shower. And
I talked about the importance of something as simple as
a shower, how meaningful it could be. And Fork reporter
decided to text me Neil Savager and he said, quote,
no one would offer you a free shower because we
(13:04):
all know you refuse to take a short shower.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
That's four k quarter.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Now, let me give you some context of what he's
referring to many years ago. In fact, it had to
be at least ten years ago. It was before I
got married. We were going through one of these draughts
or whatever, and we were told to conserve water. And
I got on my high horse and said, wait a minute.
(13:30):
I live in a townhouse. I don't have a lawn. Okay,
I'm unmarried, I live by myself. My water footprint is minuscule,
it's tiny. I don't wash my car at my house. Okay,
I'm not wasting water or anything like that. And I said,
(13:54):
I like taking twenty minute showers. Isabella. Look her eyes just.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Lit it like, that's exactly what I said. What are
you doing in there, sir?
Speaker 2 (14:04):
It is like a massage, a twenty minute hot shower,
the water buffeting off my beautiful ass.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Thanks for the visual. Well you asked, can you hit
the dump button on that? No, don't.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Don't you dump that.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
My point is that was my guilty pleasure back in
the twenty teams. Okay, and I got a lot of
hate for that. How dare you take a twenty minute shower?
We're enduring a drought, you need to save every drop.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
And this was my argument.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Are you saying that the people who have a house
of four or five people their water.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Footprint is the same as mine.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Are you saying that those four individuals are all taking
five minute showers and that somehow is different from my
one person taking twenty minute shower.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
I can see little kid Mo being like, look at
what those kids are doing. Forget about me. All I'm
saying is they chose to live in the big ass house.
They chose the cars.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
That they're washing in the driveway, they chose to water
the lawn, and I'm living in the townhouse with no lawn.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
I'm not washing my car.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
And my guilty pleasure is I'm taking a twenty minute shower, all.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Right, and I'm paying for the water. Let's not forget
I'm paying for it. It's not like I'm getting it donated.
It's not like I'm stealing from someone else. It's not
like I have a pool in the backyard.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
So that's what Nil Savage was talking about, saying that
I'd be turned away from Planet Fitness, I'd be turned
away from a UFC gym because of my proclivity to
take long showers. He's wrong. Well, I mean, he's right.
I do take long showers, but no one can turn
me away.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Nope.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
I'm glad you're owning it and appear to be proud
of it somehow. That's uh, that's inspiring.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
All terrific. I not be proud of it. Now. If
we were to get into.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Everyone's bathing habits and hygiene, I'm quite sure we'd find
some objectionable things in there.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
I don't know what you're suggesting, but I smell glorious.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
I'm suggesting that when you run into me, you know,
I am clean.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Actually, I try not to get that close to you.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Well, I'll just say, just in an oft chance that
you might be near me, you know, And I use soap,
I used the olnerant, I even use athlete's foot.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
I'm dry between my toes. I am happy simply to
take your word for all this, all of it.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Oh, I'm saying the sense my integrity was impugned by
Neil Savager. I feel compelled to clear my name. Hmm,
whose side to take in this matter? Do we have music? Decision?
Making music? Since Neil went there and he's listening right now?
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (17:06):
By the way, Isabella. If he tries to call in,
do not accept his call. If he tries to connect that,
you know, like comrades everything, do not allow him on
the air. He's not allowed to Rebut anything that I've said, wow, okay,
he started it, I'm going to finish it.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
So let me just ask the question, since.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
We're here, what is the appropriate length of a shower?
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Then this just in, I'm not the shower police right.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Right next you'll try to tell me how many times
I'm allowed to flush?
Speaker 3 (17:37):
No, but I I.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Myself am a frequent flusher. But I like your strategy
of pointing to other people who do things worse than
you to justify a bad thing you do.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
That's brilliant. No, it's not a bad thing to do.
Put it this way.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
If you are living in a house not by yourself,
not by yourself, let's say three people, and you have
the dirty nerve after you wash your car and you
water your lawn and you draw a bath for all
your dirty ass crumb snatching kids, and you want to
tell me that I'm out of line for my single,
(18:14):
unmarried living by myself, no lawn, having no car washing
behind Take a twenty minute shower. You're saying that I
am the one who's wrong. No, I'm going to point
out your hypocrisy. Thank you very much. Let's go to breath.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Oh no, no, no, let me pleent me paraphrase. Hey, don't
you dare? Oh I can't look at the time. Now, no, no,
you can't let me paraphrase. So if I can role
play as mister Kelly, careful now, okay, no, officer, I
only killed one person. Look at those people over there
who committed ten homicides.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Okay, I'm gonna use your analogy. I'm gonna use your
analogy against you. It's almost like the people wanting to
make a citizen's arrest because they have no power over me.
The officer has the power to arrest. He has arresting power,
she has arresting powers. These random people out there don't
have any agency over me.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
They take showers. I take showers. Okay, did you ask
them how long their showers were? No?
Speaker 2 (19:09):
The whole point is it's none of their freaking business.
Stay out of my bedroom, stay out of my shower.
You don't want to be scolded, only scalded. I don't
want or scout or scalded. You gotta be quicker on
those rim shots. Isabella Isabelle. I don't think she even
knows where it is. I don't think I'll find it.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
See, she hasn't been.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Instructed, Steph is a horrible teacher, has not shown her
anything important, or she knows where it is and doesn't
find anything. You say funny, which I think is the
more likely.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
You make me ill and angry.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
You make me ill and angry. I'm dancing night away.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Can I go to breakdown? Please? Please?
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I beg you now that everyone knows how I shower,
and I yes, I use old spice.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Gross. Okay, are you gonna make me wait? Now? That's
sound so wrong.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
And just to let you know, I'm quite sure Mark
Runner or I will have the new mandatory evacuation orders
which have been just passed out as an expansion relative
to the Palisades fire, and it has to do with
the four or five freeway. I'm going to get those
specifics in just a moment for you so we can
have it for you. Last hour I was talking about,
(20:29):
actually this hour, I was talking about how sporting events.
We try not to cancel them. We'll postpone them if
we can, because it has to do with the general
mood and making sure that there's not as much of
a disruption in American life. And sometimes people look to
sports for a distraction, a diversion from the reality in
(20:54):
which they may be dealing with. But less on that
totem pole, if you will, is Hollywood in general. And
Hollywood has been forced to cancel all sorts of events
because of the many fires. You might have heard that
Wicked at the Pantagious Theater two nights of Wicked has
been canceled due to the fires. Thursday's performance Yesterday was
(21:18):
canceled after Yesterday's show was also pushed back, and in
a statement posted on Facebook on Wednesday, the pantage Is said,
the performance by the Wicked Touring Company is canceled quote
due to extreme winds and fire conditions close quote as
of today. The evening performance set for Thursday, January ninth,
was scheduled to go on, but they had to cancel
(21:41):
that as well. Severnth Season two premiere, Apple's premiere and
red carpet for seventh Season two was originally set from Monday,
January thirteenth has been canceled. Apple said it is donating
to relief efforts. PGA Awards Nomination is the Producer's Guild
pushed nominations announcements for its annual award show back to
(22:04):
Sunday the twelfth. This Sunday, the WGA the Writers Guild
Association Award Nomination set its postponing the release of its
annual awards nominations, pushing it to January thirteenth. AARP Movies
for Grown Up Awards that was set to take place
on the eleventh, as in tomorrow at the Beverly Wiltshire
(22:25):
and Beverly Hills, but that has been postponed and the
ceremony has not yet been rescheduled. The Oscar nominations has
been shifted from Friday the seventeenth next Friday, to Sunday
the nineteenth. The twenty twenty five Critics Choice Awards, which
was originally set for this Sunday, has been postponed and
(22:47):
it would have been the thirtieth annual ceremony, and it
was supposed to take place at the Santa Monica Airport
Barker Hangar. Chelsea Handler was supposed to be the host
for the third consecutive time, but at this point it
is tentatively scheduled for January twenty six. And I say
tentatively because with all of these fires, some of them
(23:07):
are only eight percent containment or limited containment, new fires
popping up, we just can't say for sure that these
dates are hard and fast. The British Academy of Film
and Television Arts tea party, the BAFT Awards has been canceled.
It was originally set to take place Saturday, as in
Tomorrow the eleventh, at the Beverly Hills Four Seasons Hotel,
(23:30):
as I said, has been canceled, not postponed. The Last
show Girl Premiere, an La Premiere a Glass show Girl
from Gia Coppola and Kate Gearston, set to be held
at the TCL Chinese Theater this upcoming Wednesday, has been canceled.
The film's cast, led by Pamela Anderson, would have appeared
on a red carpet to do press ahead of the
(23:52):
screening of the film, which was Golden Globe nominated. SAG
Award nominations. The in person presentation of nominations for the
Screen Actors Guild Awards has been canceled. But the nominations
have been revealed. The Wolfman premiere. Wolfman is the actual
title of the movie. I actually want to see this movie.
(24:13):
The premiere of the movie was supposed to take place
Tuesday night earlier this week at the TCL Chinese Theater.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
That's just not going to happen.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Back in Action Premiere, the Return of Jamie Fox to
at least a small Screen, which was for Netflix, was canceled,
and TV productions sets for the following TV productions have
also gone dark because of the fires. Told you about
the Lakers home games which were postponed, Rams home game
(24:44):
which was moved, But that's just a small sampling of
some of the many postponements cancelations. Hollywood has been obviously
highly impacted from the fires, not just because there is
an element of Hollywood who lived in the Pacific Palisades,
but of course the Hollywood Hills fire. And I think
(25:06):
it is appropriate to cancel and postpone these events.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
We're talking about with Mark Roner about being toned deaf.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
There's certain events that you really can and you really
should cancel because there's not a need for them to
go on. And also it just like the sporting events.
It pulls resources first responders away from the other more
important duties of fighting these fires. And there will be
more cancelations as we go on. Mark, were you getting
(25:35):
ready to jump in?
Speaker 4 (25:36):
No, no, I just just but since I'm on the mic,
I mean, the last thing that a lot of people
want to see when they're in the middle of a
life and death emergency is a bunch of preening celebrities
on a red carpet.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Yeah, you definitely don't want that, and that just adds
to the negative view for some for some of the
idea of Hollywood.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
You know, you just don't need that.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
Right about that, there are a number of things that
you can put on pause.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Yes, KFI A six forty were live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. We'll have more and definitely before the end
of the hour, we'll have the specifics on that expanded
mandatory evacuation orders which have just been handed down regarding
the Palisades fire.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
KFI Mo Kelly, We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
And about those evacuation orders, they were expanded this evening.
For the areas near the Palisades fire, the evacuation order
is in effect from Sunset Boulevard North to Encino Reservoir,
from the four h five Freeway west to Mandeville Canyon.
(26:56):
And this area was previously in an evacuation warning zone
and now has been upgraded to a mandatory evacuation order. So,
of course, even though it may not have been mandatory
prior to right about now, it is a mandatory evacuation order.
Please leave if you are in that area, and it's
(27:17):
in effect from Sunset Boulevard North to Encino Reservoir, from
the four or five Freeway west to Mandeville Canyon, Mandatory evacuation,
mandatory evacuation.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Do not wait.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Hopefully you have prepared accordingly, or maybe you've already left
the vicinity, but do not wait. Mandatory evacuation order is
in effect from Sunset Boulevard North to in Sino Reservoir,
from the four or five Freeway west to Mandeville Canyon.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
And there are.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Other events which have been canceled or postponed due to
the fires and the across all media, it's not just TV,
it's not just movies, it's not just music. And in
the next hour we'll talk about how the different industries
breaking them down, how they're planning to try to help out.
(28:13):
I know the music industry receive a lot of communications
from various organizations within the music industry as far as
how they're going to pool all their resources to help
fire victims. I know the movie industry and various studios
will tell you about, from Paramount to Disney what they
are going to do, and also television studios. If anything
(28:36):
is encouraging about this is that we're hopefully being able
to cut through all the unimportant stuff and get to
the important stuff, which is the people. The people who
have lost their houses, the people who don't know where
to go, the people who are looking for some sort
of sense to be made of this. You know, it's
(28:58):
one thing to talk about losing everything in the abstract.
It's another thing to see people go through it. I
have not gone through it, but I can say at
this point I know it eight people personally personally who've
lost everything, and for me, that's unconscionable.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Yeah, we'd say all the time that it's they're just things.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
They're all replaceable as long as you have your loved
ones and your pets, and you have your health. Everything's okay,
everything's manageable, And that intellectually may be true, but emotionally
it's definitely not true. Emotionally, just because you have the
shirt on your back, it does not mean that everything
(29:48):
is going to be okay. You have to take it
from what I understand day to day, moment to moment,
minute to minute, and just work through the problems that
you can, how whatever you can, with whatever is available
to do it.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
Am I warm to Walla, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
You're beyond your I said, you're burning hot. You are
beyond warm. You are beyond warm. I've spent the day
combing through videos of friends, lifelong friends, childhood friends, high school, college,
just friends who have been posting videos of the remains
(30:28):
of their houses. People who live around the corner from me,
people who live up the street, people who live down
the block who have lost everything. Who people, Some people
who were out of town and came back in the
hopes that their houses were still there, only to find rubble.
And one friend who was hospitalized it had was sick,
(30:52):
had a very very bad case of pneumonia, got out
and come home to find out there is no home
to return to and it is shocking. You said something
earlier that it really really hit me when you said
it that sometimes something as simple as having a place
(31:12):
to lay your head for the night, it means everything
in the world. And so you know, bravo to all
the organizations, all the places that are providing place to live.
Because I know my co parents side, she got me
a brand new air mattress yesterday, so that you know
that way when I got back to her house, I
would have a place to lay down. And if no
(31:33):
idea what it meant to lay down and just fall asleep,
I knocked out so hard and everything seemed to in
that moment. That moment, just having a nice place to
lay down and put a blanket over my head my
whole world to all the tension, all the stress I've
been feeling, it's just it washed away. And so to
(31:55):
know that there are so many people out there, all
the AIRBA means and hotels that are fall up right now,
it's it's unspeakable to not have that, but right now,
so many people do, thousands upon thousands.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Right now. We're looking at this fire coming down here
right now, right now, burning up property.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
And the thing is I was saying to you out
in the hallways, like one seems like la can't get
a break in Each day there's another new major fire.
And just because the first fourteen or so didn't touch you,
the fifteenth might. Although you might not have been evacuated
as of yet, you might still be evacuated. Although that
(32:36):
you've been evacuated once, it doesn't mean that that's going
to be the only time that you're going to be
forced to evacuate. Because these fires are popping up in
such widely distinct areas, you know, Pacific Palisades two and
working its way down four or five, you know, and
all those communities, be it Santa Monica and south of
(32:58):
Santa Monica poss into the Westwood area. There's no telling
where all this is going. We don't know where the
next fire is going to be. It just seems like
southern California can't get a break. And so if you
haven't been impacted yet doesn't mean that you won't tomorrow.
That's part of the reason why we talk about this,
because you may need to know this information before you
(33:22):
find yourself evacuated, not after, but before, so you have
a reference point if you should be evacuated, because there
are people who weren't evacuated yesterday, but from this mandatory
evacuation I just told you about earlier. Now they're in
the process of evacuating and they have to consider all
the things that we've been talking about the past two
or three days.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
Yes, this is important, the information is very important.
Speaker 5 (33:47):
I really do hope people heed when you say that
the evacuation is in order, because again I have some
friends who unfortunately did not heed the importance of the
evacuation orders when they received them, and they thought that
they had time, not knowing that with these sol col
(34:07):
wins we've been experiencing, you know, and as my friend
who joined us last night as a firefighter, the wind
is moving these flames in ways that we've never seen before.
When it comes to sol Cal wildfires, you don't know
how soon or when it's going to hit you. Our
friends who live in out in the Long Loom Auta
that's all gone, who had just enough time to see
(34:30):
the flames sparking at the house next door before they
knew what their house was already on fire. They could
only grab you know, their kids, their animals, maybe some
bag of dog food and they're out the door. They
didn't even have time to think about what to grab.
There was no go bags that they had ready to
go because they thought we got all the time in
the world, will wait till we see it or no, no,
(34:52):
no no. If you've received an evacuation order, heed that
pack your go bags. Gets your sense the things that
you know you cannot live without, not things you want,
get the things you need and be out.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Well.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
We mentioned this before, and unfortunately it's tragic for some,
but it's a rare opportunity for others, if only because
let's say you had not considered the idea of a
go bag on Tuesday. Maybe you have by now and
you have it in place and you're getting evacuated on
(35:27):
a Friday, and you're not caught off guard or ill prepared.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
It can be an opportunity.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
But that's provided you're using this time and.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
This information wisely.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
That's why we keep repeating it, That's why we keep
reminding you, that's why we keep stressing the importance of
having these things.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
And you know, look, I had to refresh my go bag.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
It was fine for like an earthquake, but it really
wasn't fire ready for those types of things as far
as having the goggles and or some sort of breathing
apparatus to help me if it happened to be a
high ash or very very poor air quality area. Just
you have to consider different things now. And my wife
(36:11):
and I we sat down and made sure that we
had the the paper documents that were really important. Could
be like social security cars, it could be the deed
to the house, any type of physical media that we
think that we need, like hard drives. It that way,
you know, you know it's digital media, but it's a
(36:34):
physical drive. You got to make sure that you have
that as well. Not everything's in the cloud now. And
then I've been thinking about this if there is some
saving grace where now in an age where a lot
of people do have much of this on the cloud
or some sort of portable digital storage and you may
(36:55):
not have to search through all the closet because I
have a drive which has all my tax information, all
business records, all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
It's on my desk.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
I pick it up, it fits in my hand and
I don't have to think about it go and the
rest of it's all on you in the cloud as well.
But I have a physical backup as well. That's just
thinking ahead over the years. But I had to learn
from other people. It was other people's tragedies which taught
me about how to prepare and what to prepare if
(37:29):
in the event that I have to go, and go quickly,
and let someone else's pain be your professor, Let someone
else's tragedy be your teacher if need be. And I'm
not saying I'm wishing that on anyone. But don't let
the wisdom and the lesson just escape you.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
Don't.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
You don't have to go through the same things as
everyone else.
Speaker 3 (37:52):
You don't have to.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
There's enough information and there's enough instruction out there where
you can avoid some unnecessary pain. Get your stuff together, now,
get your documents together, now, get your go back together.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
Now.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
Why because there's seemingly going to be another fire either
tonight or you might get that inappropriate emergency alert message
and it might be real this time around, and you
might have to go at a moment's notice. But you
don't have to worry about whether you have everything ready
to go. You can just literally wake up, get up,
(38:28):
walk out the door, and you and your family and
some very important items will be safe and with you,
and that sometimes has to be enough. Ky if I
