K if I Am six forty live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. It's Later with Mo Kelly and this is
the Viral Load with Me Tiffany Hobbs. This week and
last week, there's been a lot of content uploaded all
over social media. Obviously, people are keeping track of what's
going on with the fires that are ravaging southern California,
(00:55):
and also aside from that, there's content that continues to
be uploaded and anticipation of this looming TikTok band. Well,
all of that content has been coalescing into what has
made it out to be a very busy week in
social media. And because we've seen such devastating images and
(01:16):
so many really disheartening and sad posts online from these fires,
I wanted to start today's viral load off with something
extremely heartwarming. So you may have seen it. It's been
all over TikTok, it's been all over Instagram, Facebook, you
might have been sent it in an email, but regardless,
what I am going to share with you is extremely uplifting.
(01:40):
It is very emotional. The first time I saw it,
I absolutely cried, and then, because I'm a glutton for punishment,
I watched it again and again, and each subsequent time
I got emotional. Here's the story. A man, unfortunately was
separated from his two dogs during the Palisades fire. He's
(02:00):
caught on video by a news reporter who is at
the bottom of Sunset and timescal Canyon as this man
is trying to get back to his home while his
block is on fire, or at least the fire is approaching.
The man interviews with this reporter and the reporter asks,
you know, you know, how can you get to your dogs?
(02:21):
And the man says, I can't. I'm being stopped. I'm
being told I can't get up there because of the fire.
And he's just having a full on breakdown emotionally understandably,
so I would too. My first instinct would be to
go back and get my fur babies. Well, this man
tries everything. He gets a bike, he tries to get
up the hill, and he stopped. Five days of searching
(02:44):
online for his misspets came up empty. He is able
to recover one pet during that five day period, but
the other pet, a little small dog named Oreo, was
still unaccounted for.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
On the fifth day, he's able.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
This man and his name is Hasey Covin, He's able
to make it back up to his home, and.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
This is what happens.
Speaker 6 (03:06):
There's audio, but I'll introduce it first, just so we
can kind of have a picture a visual. Casey goes
back up to his home. He stands outside of his gate.
He has a dog toy. There are cameras all around
because they're following this man's story. It's a human interest story.
Casey coven squeaks the toy and this is what you hear.
(03:37):
Awesome picks his dog up hooy hand is reunited with
his with his loved, very loved and missing for five days,
very resilient dog, Oreo, And as you can hear there,
it is extremely emotional. Casey is crying. It's just the
(04:00):
reunion that people needed to see. Myself included. There's more
to this story. So the reason that Oreo was able
to survive so long is because a very thoughtful and
compassionate firefighter who actually ended up being a battalion chief
named Brent Pascua, left open Casey Covin's doors to his
(04:24):
home and his windows, and that was in anticipation of
the fire reaching that block. Because of this battalion chief's
heroic efforts, because of his forward thinking, the dog, Oreo
was able to get back into the house outside to
the house. Outside of the house, he wasn't confined inside.
(04:45):
He was able to leave and he was spotted in
a neighbor's yard and that's when neighbors alerted Casey Covin
to the fact that Orio was still alive. After the
reunion caught on camera, Casey Covin was able to meet
eat battalion Chief Brent Pascua, where they had their own reunion,
(05:05):
very heartwarming, very emotional meeting. They embraced and Brett, excuse me,
Brent Pascua, that battalion chief who really put all of
this into motion, was able to meet Oreo as well,
and it has this story a very very happy ending
during a time when we need as many happy endings
(05:26):
as possible.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Look, it's very difficult for me to.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Not get caught up emotionally in this story. I knew
about it, yes, and I could not because just having
two small dogs.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
It rang too familiar.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Yeah, same, it was a little too close to home,
no pun intended, and those are emotions that I wouldn't
want to deal with.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
It just can't I can't imagine.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
I can't imagine what Casey was going through while waiting
to find out whether his dogs, you know, what the
fate of his dog was. But to have that re
unit again, it was something that I needed to see.
It really instilled hope in me, and I think for
the millions of people who have now seen the numerous
videos of Casey reuniting with Oreo, it does give you
(06:11):
just that modicum of hope.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
I'm glad that it has a happy ending, but it's
not a story that I could just I couldn't read it,
I couldn't watch it because you don't know how the
story ends until you're told how the story ends.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
And I didn't know that it was going to have
a happy ending.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
I'm glad it did.
Speaker 6 (06:30):
Something that didn't have a happy ending really speaks to
a lot of the scam and fraud that's going on
right now.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Sadly, people who.
Speaker 6 (06:39):
Are devastated by the fires are dealing with scams and frauds.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
But there are people who are outside.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
Of southern California who continued to be defrauded as well.
And this story involves a French woman. Her name is Anne,
and this woman was unfortunately scammed out of about eight
hundred and fifty thousand from a person online pretending to
be none other than Brad Pitt. Here's how that happened.
(07:09):
So Anne's going through a divorce. She was particularly vulnerable
and last year she met someone online. They exchanged messages,
they flirted and said it was a really nice relationship.
The person, this man, spoke to her in ways that
she needed to be spoken to. She was swept off
of her feet. This wasn't an ordinary man, however, this was,
(07:32):
to Anne's knowledge, Brad Pitt.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
How how here's how.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
So if you've ever been online and you wanted verification
of something, here's a callback. And let's say you're talking
to a person you've never met in person in reality,
you might ask that person to send you a photo
of themselves, maybe holding up something that shows the current date.
(07:59):
That's a common verification tactic, proof of life, proof of
reality in that very moment. Well, there is artificial intelligence,
and artificial intelligence can be manipulated.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
To look very much.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
Like it is, you know, a live person there, like
it is reality. And so this person, this scammer pretending
to be Brad Pit, used AI doctored images and video
some sort of video that that did also show this
brad Pit character holding up a calendar a sheet that
(08:36):
said I love you.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
And there are numerous images.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
They're disturbing when you look at them because you can
see that it is not quite brad Pit. There's something
a little off in it. Wasn't quite right, something's not
quite right. But and vulnerable going through a divorce and
really hungry for love and attention, bought the Chaine. And
here's what quote ung quote. Brad Pitt told her, Hey, Ann,
(09:02):
who I love. I can't get access to my money
because of my current divorce with Angelina.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
I need you to send me money.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
Send me money, which amounted to the total of eight
hundred and fifty thousand dollars. And I also said he
was battling Cancir, so he just this person is scammer,
really stooped low and preyed upon Anne's compassion and.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Had eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars just laying around
or at least available to her.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
She was doing pretty well.
Speaker 6 (09:37):
But now it's in the hand of or hands of
this scammer or scammers, because Anne fell for it, hook
line and sinker and has not been able to recover.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
The fund yet.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
I don't understand.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
And evidently Anne did pretty well in life, yeah with
her money, probably, you know, through other measurements, is a
pretty smart woman. Yeah, probably, Okay, you know, yeah, you're
not just gonna luck upon eight hundred and fifteen thousand
dollars liquidity. You've done something right in your life, there's
something there to then literally risk it all on the idea.
(10:11):
Let's say it was actually Brad Pitt. Let's say everything
was true. It wasn't, but let's say it was the
whole idea that you're gonna let eight hundred and fifteen
thousand dollars go out the door for someone that you, oh,
fifty thousand dollars, well, you know, tomato tomatow at that point,
it's more than hundred thousand for someone that you've never
actually met, had coffee with, hung out at the Starbucks
(10:36):
for a while, callback none of that. It just defies
any type of exponenty.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Just beyond gullibility.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
It is It really shows to what her mental state
was at the time and after as well. The way
that Anne found out that this was all a scam,
all a ruse is that she bought it. She continued
to buy it into twenty twenty four. This is a
couple of years worth of sending money back and forth.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
It was a long game.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
A long game. Well, Ann saw online viral pictures.
Speaker 6 (11:07):
Of Brad Pitt with his current girlfriend and then realized
did we all did? That Brad was not only well,
but that he was in a relationship with someone else.
So she didn't then think fortunately and that she wasn't
that she was the other woman. She just decided that
this was a scam and she cut off all ties.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
She has since checked herself into a hospital for depression. OK,
a lot going on.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
I'm sympathetic for. But she thought it was a scam
only after seeing.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
Brads only after she was he was seen with.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
His current She didn't think that it might have been
a scam after the eight hundred and fifty K went
out the window with no real confirmation of anything.
Speaker 6 (11:51):
Sometimes it makes me feel like I missed my calling
as a scammer.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Look, I think it's a criminal I'm not a criminal,
and part of the reason is there's certain places I'm
not going to go. I'm not that depraved in mind
whether I would even think to do that, much less try.
It's a horrible story, it is, and it's a cautionary
tale obviously for all of us. I don't have eight
hundred and fifty thousand dollars to give, nor would I,
(12:17):
but it does let you know that there are a
lot of people out there who are trying to separate
you from your money, especially right now as we talk
about this against the backdrop of what's happening with the fires,
and people are going to try to victimize these same
people over and over again. So I think that's the
lesson to take away from.
Speaker 6 (12:33):
That is absolutely the lesson. And also to be very
wary of things you see online. We always preach media literacy,
and AI is very smart. It's probably smarter than you
are at this point in being able to separate you
from your money. So be very wary of the things
that you see.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
So I shouldn't believe the email I got from Jennifer
Aniston who said that she likes me.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
I mean, you're mo Kelly. That could very well be
feasible in my dreams.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty. Now, It's Tough the Viral lo
Tiffany Live on CAMFI Lita with Loo Jenny. She'll talk
about the toughness.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
On social media. Viral loone with Tiffany Hubs KFI AM.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
Six forty Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. It's Later
with mo Kelly And this is part two of the
Viral Load. I'm actually watching this story in real time
as it unfolds on CNN, And not only is it
on CNN, but it's been viral online on pretty much
every app right now. This is another story that is
(13:47):
emerging out of the fire and what it involves is
a beautiful retro blue Volkswagen van, one of those vans
you've seen, very very iconic. Fits the icon how do
you say that word iconography of California?
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Did I get it?
Speaker 6 (14:05):
That's a real difficult word, but it definitely fits the
backdrop of California. When you think about leisure and surfing
and oceans, those VW vans are synonymous with the California
lifestyle and this VW van, this beautiful blue retro vehicle
miraculously survived the deadly Palisades Fire.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
This is what happened.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
Two days before the Palisades Fire erupted. A man named
Preston Martin parked his nineteen seventy seven VW Type two
van on a flat spot just up the hill from
the Getty Villa. It's in really good condition. We're watching
it here on CNN, and you can google the images
of this van so that you can see exactly what
(14:51):
we're talking about. The van miraculously survived the Palisades fire.
When you look around the van, it is complete and
utter destruction.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
The homes are leveled.
Speaker 6 (15:04):
But this van sits in that photo right in the center,
a photo that has now gone viral and has been
shared millions of times over in plenty of places, and
it stands more or less as a symbol of that
California resilience, of the resilience that so many Angelinos are experiencing.
And so here's some back info about this van. Martin
(15:28):
purchased the van sometime around his junior year of college,
when he was studying engineering at the University of California
at Santa Barbara, and after he purchased the van. He
then sold it to another person. That person is the
current owner of the van, and in that just change
of hands they became friends. But now both of these owners,
(15:53):
former and new are in the spotlight because this van
somehow survived what is now being called on CNN as
a sea of devastation. It survived the wind, it survived
the flames. The van still looks in good condition. They
say it is operable, and people are saying that it
(16:14):
is a miracle, that it makes no sense.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
It looks like they just pulled up to the corner
five minutes ago. And to think of all the devastation
around it, the heat involved, how it destroyed every structure
within eyesight around this thing, and it did not melt
the tires, It did not scorch the paint. It looks
completely untouched. That's the amazing part to me.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
And I was skeptical.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
Mo I thought perhaps someone did in fact pull this
van up, that it somehow snuck into this area and
was positioned in.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
A way that people could get photos. Well.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
The AP photographer who was able to catch the photo
on the first day that the van was able to
be seen. Once the smoke cleared, verified and validated that
the van had been there all along. And I think
this is a wonderful ad for Volkswagon when you think
about it, at least for their retro series. The next story,
the final story, deals with someone you might be familiar
(17:10):
with many people are.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
Her name is Little Kim. She's a rapper.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
She was very popular in the nineties and early two
thousands in association with the now scorned p Ditty, the
deceased Notorious Big. She made a really big name for
herself as a successful rapper, and she is still in
the public eye. People look to her, people follow her.
(17:35):
Millions of people follow her on her social media and
Little Kim felt compelled a couple of days ago to
send well wishes to the victims of those in the
fires around Los Angeles. Unfortunately, her well wishes didn't go
as planned because, while Little Kim was acknowledging the devastation
(17:57):
of the fires, she wished quote a monsoon would hit
Los Angeles to douse the flames, not quite understanding that
a monsoon is also a disaster and would not be
a better thing for us to be experiencing in Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
I don't dislike Little Kit. I don't like the sharpest
pencil in a box.
Speaker 6 (18:23):
She meant, well, but what do they say about the
road to hell? It's paved with good intentions and miss
speakings on social media that live in perpetuity.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
So you really have to be careful.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
Because while many were sympathetic, of course to the her misspeaking,
who her making that mistake and wanted to educate her,
of course, in the responses about what a monsoon actually is,
others were not so kind, called her many really harsh names,
and have used this example to kind of throw a
lot more dirt on celebrities being tone deaf when these
(18:59):
things happen.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
I don't think people really understand the power of social media,
especially if you're a celebrity. You say something that you
would probably say amongst friends and back in the day
your friends are saying like you're tripping, you're bugging, and
then someone would explain it to you when you put
it out there on social media, talking about something that's viral,
which can expand and be sent in an exponential way.
(19:24):
I don't see why people haven't figured out, especially when
it comes to disasters. You got to be very, very careful,
And I'm torried to myself as well. I'm very not
all my thoughts are put out on social media. There
are a lot of things where it's like backspace, backspace.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Backspace, delete, delete, delete, Yes, cancel a message. I do
that every single day.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
So the stuff that I put out there, it's gone
through three or four mental editors.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
You know.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
And again, she meant well, but she made a big mistake.
And like many things and not all things on social media,
it will likely live on as long as social media
is a thing, it will be there forever ever, forever, ever, ever.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Ever, ever ever.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
That's the end of the viral load.
Speaker 6 (20:10):
But mo also, please guys listening, you can catch me
on Saturday from five to seven. I'll be continuing to
talk about updates with the fire and other stories that
are now creeping back into the public sphere. So make
sure you listen in five to seven right here on
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Some of the stories that we picked for the show,
I use them as teachable moments. Yes they may be
funny when you just read the headline. Yes it may
be obvious.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
To you and me.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
But I'm quite sure someone may listen and think, like,
I don't get it. What's wrong with that? Why can't
that person do that? I thought that. You know, it's
a free country teachable moment someone probably didn't know or
needs to learn. So that's why we picked someb of
these stories. They may be funny, but they're also instructive.
A flight attendant lost her job forget this twirking at work.
(21:12):
At work. I'm not talking about a flight attendant who
got a little too drunk and loose at the club
or the grocery store and did something really stupid and ended.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
Up on TikTok.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
I'm talking about she did this at work, got fired,
and then had the dirty nerve to turn around and
ask what's wrong with a little twerk before work? An
Alaska Airlines flight attendant, and I know Alaska Airlines is
really pleased about being in the news for this. Well,
Alaska Airlines former flight attendant was fired for twerking on camera,
(21:51):
and she's now created a GoFundMe to support her while
she seeks a new job. The crew member named Nell
dar Yalla had filmed the twerking TikTok videos, So number
one She did it at work with the whole Alaska
Airlines local in the background, and then she put it
on TikTok while waiting for the captain to arrive on
(22:15):
the plane. Quote I never thought a single moment would
cost me everything. Close quote let's stop right there. See
this is a teachable moment. If you do really, really
stupid stuff, there are stupid consequences awaiting. If you thought
that just because it's not illegal to do that, it's
(22:37):
a good idea. No, and you need to stop posting
your foolishness on social media. If she had just twerked,
and I am not recommending this, If she had just
twirked and maybe send it to her boyfriend and say, hey,
look what I do it, probably no one would have
ever known. But instead she had to literally broadcast it
(22:59):
to the She left her employer now former employer, no choice.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
No choice, she captain.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
She captured the clip, which also blew up on Instagram,
so she was put on TikTok Instagram. Her caption was
ghetto bit BiH, which is slang for itch.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
Till I die. Don't let the uniform fool you.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
So she's in uniform, she is at work and she's
publicizing and promoting the fact that she's in uniform at
work and twerking.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
On the job, on the plane, on the plane.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Yes, and then is somehow surprised that she got fired
and is now turning to the public for help. Honestly,
is she opened up an only fans page. I'm quite
sure she can get the money back because the way
they pay it only fans, and she obviously is not
a to show her wares or do that kind of stuff.
(24:03):
She shouldn't do it, go fund it. But she didn't
seem all that smart to begining. Sorry, it was a
dumb thing to do.
Speaker 7 (24:08):
Look, she could definitely start up a very very successful
only page.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Page, only fans page page. Ye, yes, you can do.
Speaker 7 (24:21):
Look, her twerking skills were very robust. She's she's very
practiced in the art. You're good at whatever you practice.
And I can understand her need to talk. Sometimes when
you're working with all that, you've got to twerk. I'm
not mad that, But at work, no, young lady. No,
(24:43):
not in not in the center aisle, not in uniform,
not for all to see on the last airlines. No
company wants that time press. Look, if were McDonald's. McDonald's
would have responded the same way.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Okay, if it were Walmart, you at the grocery store
and you're twerking over the produce, they responded the same way.
It does not matter who your employer was, They're just
going to be a former employer.
Speaker 7 (25:10):
Maybe waffle House will be okay with it. Waffle House.
You know, I've seen some things at waffle House and
people have been you know, they go to see you know,
the torque rageous. I think waffle House is good with that.
Did you do it while the planes? No twerking light
was on?
Speaker 4 (25:27):
No, no, no, her The only thing, well put it
this way.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Other than that, there was something else other than the
trade table in the seatback, which is in the upright position.
Oh boy, I will wait. I will wait, Thank you
very much.
Speaker 7 (25:45):
Oh she's not going to get a job on Virgin.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
You win, Mark, you win, so hollow victory, it's meaningless.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
I'm good. I am six forty. We're live everywhere in
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Okay again, we're gonna count the three reset thousand, one thousand,
two thousand three.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.

We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app Coast to Coast
AM with George Noori.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
George is good to talk to you again.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
It's been a minute because some things have been happening,
of course here in Los Angeles. I know you've been
following it, You've even been covering it. I wanted to
ask you pointedly, is everyone in your family, your friend circle,
you maybe even have some property out here?
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Are you okay?
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Yeah, I'm okay. I have a guests who lost the
house two years ago and some of the fires, and
he rebuilt in the same spot and then he got
hit again. Unbelievable. But I wanted to congratulate the KFI
staff and you and Tim and everybody else for just
(27:19):
excellent coverage on what a very sad situation.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Well, we appreciate that, but the credit goes to the
people who exhibit far more strength and fortitude than just
some radio hosts are coming in and talking for four
or five hours at a time.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
I appreciate it, but let's put it in its proper perspective.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
The first responders and firefighters are doing a great job.
Out there.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
So what's on the show tonight?
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Tonight we're going to talk about some strange mysteries and
later on the witchcraft on Coast to Coast. We're back.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
Hey, is great to have you back. I'll talk to
you again soon, sir.
Speaker 7 (27:55):
Okay, buddy.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
And before we get out here, look, going back to
that story about the flight attendant who got fired for
twerking on the job, what I think really bothers theme
to me. There are plenty of people who probably saw
nothing wrong with that and can't understand why she got
fired for talking at all, talking on the job, talking
(28:18):
on the job in uniform, turking on the job in
the uniform, and posting it on social media. It seems
like folks have gotten social media so twisted. And I
say that I get in arguments all the time online
with people think like, well, they just have no idea
of actions having consequences, behavior having consequences where you might
(28:43):
lose your job, and you know, there's a distinction to
be made about people were doing something not on the clock.
Maybe you heard about the Philadelphia Eagles fan who went
on this very vulgar rant against a Green Bay Packers
fan during the playoff game and people posted it online.
His job found out, he got fired from his job,
(29:05):
and people were saying like, well, why he was on.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
His free time?
Speaker 3 (29:08):
How is it that he's held responsible for what he
was doing on his free time?
Speaker 4 (29:11):
And I say, people don't understand.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
You are a representative of your company at all times,
whether you think so or not. If you're an at
will employee, and many times general workers are, they don't
need to give you a reason. They can just say
thank you, goodbye. Either party can terminate that relationship at
any time. And if you happen to be under contract,
like this flight attendant was, there's usually an infamy clause.
(29:36):
If you do anything which embarrasses the company that you
work for, they can fire you. And I don't understand
why so many in this younger generation don't understand that
there are consequences to your behavior, especially when it's either
in public or you publicize.
Speaker 7 (29:53):
You know. The thing that bothers me the most is
those in the comments section who try to turn this
into some type of attack against womanhood. There were individuals
saying things like, once again, men are trying to tell
women what they can and can't do with their body.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
And I was like, you've got to be kidding me.
You've got to be kidding me.
Speaker 7 (30:20):
If you think a company telling their employee you cannot
come to work in uniform, get on board our vehicle,
our playing and twerk and put it up on social media.
If you think that's someone trying to come down on femininity,
(30:40):
you're insane there.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
When I talk about this permissive culture, this entitlement culture,
they're seeing and this is the serious portion of the conversation. Yes,
we can make all sorts of venue indo and jokes,
but there's actually something instructive on all this. If you
think that you cannot be held accountable for your own actions,
you are in for a hell of a wake up.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
Call throughout life. Throughout life.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Not just losing jobs, but you could put yourself in
a situation where you're just unhirable, where no one will
be able to want to even get near you and
employ you because you keep demonstrating publicly that you don't
exercise good judgment. That's what it comes down to. The person,
this woman who tirked online, she's going to make it
(31:27):
very difficult for her to get an actual job anywhere anywhere,
because why because when you go for jobs. Now, they
search your name on social media, they look at your
social media site, they look at what you do post.
There's no way in the world that anyone's going to
hire this woman, not for the money that she was
probably making as an airlines employee with benefits.
Speaker 7 (31:48):
Yeah, she's not going over to like Spirit Airline or less.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
She may she may get on Jeb Blue. I get
the joke, but seriously, no, she's unhirable. I think there's
some airlines there there flat cabin crew does not take
themselves serious. They may not, but I'm saying, how do
you get through the interview process? How do you get
(32:13):
through the background check with the first thing that comes up,
The first thing which shows up is you twerking in
a work uniform.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
While on the clock. How do you explain that away?
Speaker 3 (32:27):
How do you sit in front of the interviewer and
say so, tell me about the thing that you most
regret in your employment history, you know, tell me about
the time where you exhibited bad judgment on the on
the job, and what you would do differently. Now, those
are types of interview questions that you get, and an
interviewer knows good and damn well, they're waiting for a
response to what they saw on social media, which is
(32:50):
gonna live on forever, forever, forever with her name attached
to it. Why because her dumb ass posted it. Even
if she takes it down, it's still there. Yeah, go ahead, Mark.
Speaker 7 (33:05):
Well, let me just say, you don't see people in
hot dog on a stick uniforms twerking online, although I
would pay good money to see that. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
All I can say is I remember those days of
watching them pound those lemons up and down. You know,
they were like and zip the hot dogs. Yes, yeah,
booty shorts that they were wearing. That was intentional. That
was that was I can't say it was sexual harassment,
but it was sexual exploitation.
Speaker 7 (33:32):
So it's almost like twerking would have been redundant in
those uniforms, yes, because, yeah, their shirts were almost designed
and fitted like they were corsets. You know, back in
the old days when our parents and grandparents wore coat
and tie a hat and everything onto an airplane. It
was more like a formal thing. You didn't hear a
lot about towerkuin.
Speaker 4 (33:54):
M and some of those girls would purposely make them shorter, Yes,
I purpose They.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
Knew what they were doing, what they were doing, they
knew what they were doing. I'm just saying, but that
was then. You know, the last time I had Hot
Dog gonna stick, I think was that it was at
the Pinners convention that you and Neil Savatra were broadcasting.
And the uniforms have changed. Uh, you know, I don't
think they're looser fitting short shorts. They have to come
(34:20):
down to their knees. They're like basketball shorts. Yes, they're
not what it used to be like.
Speaker 7 (34:25):
You know.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
So I'm quite sure someone at Hot Dog going to
sticks that we can't keep doing this, guys.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
We can't.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
We can't keep sending employees out there looking like they're
Hooters waitresses and then expect not to get sued. Well,
you got to have standards if you're slinging wieners.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
We're done.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
We're absolutely time out, and I'm so glad that I'm
not going to be here tomorrow for the fallout.
Speaker 4 (34:52):
I will see you all on Monday. I will be
back on Monday.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
I'm going to Chicago for a martial arts seminar. So
uh yeah, Mark, enjoy the flight. K f I am

Speaker 6 (00:34):
K if I Am six forty live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. It's Later with Mo Kelly and this is
the Viral Load with Me Tiffany Hobbs. This week and
last week, there's been a lot of content uploaded all
over social media. Obviously, people are keeping track of what's
going on with the fires that are ravaging southern California,
(00:55):
and also aside from that, there's content that continues to
be uploaded and anticipation of this looming TikTok band. Well,
all of that content has been coalescing into what has
made it out to be a very busy week in
social media. And because we've seen such devastating images and
(01:16):
so many really disheartening and sad posts online from these fires,
I wanted to start today's viral load off with something
extremely heartwarming. So you may have seen it. It's been
all over TikTok, it's been all over Instagram, Facebook, you
might have been sent it in an email, but regardless,
what I am going to share with you is extremely uplifting.
(01:40):
It is very emotional. The first time I saw it,
I absolutely cried, and then, because I'm a glutton for punishment,
I watched it again and again, and each subsequent time
I got emotional. Here's the story. A man, unfortunately was
separated from his two dogs during the Palisades fire. He's
(02:00):
caught on video by a news reporter who is at
the bottom of Sunset and timescal Canyon as this man
is trying to get back to his home while his
block is on fire, or at least the fire is approaching.
The man interviews with this reporter and the reporter asks,
you know, you know, how can you get to your dogs?
(02:21):
And the man says, I can't. I'm being stopped. I'm
being told I can't get up there because of the fire.
And he's just having a full on breakdown emotionally understandably,
so I would too. My first instinct would be to
go back and get my fur babies. Well, this man
tries everything. He gets a bike, he tries to get
up the hill, and he stopped. Five days of searching
(02:44):
online for his misspets came up empty. He is able
to recover one pet during that five day period, but
the other pet, a little small dog named Oreo, was
still unaccounted for.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
On the fifth day, he's able.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
This man and his name is Hasey Covin, He's able
to make it back up to his home, and.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
This is what happens.
Speaker 6 (03:06):
There's audio, but I'll introduce it first, just so we
can kind of have a picture a visual. Casey goes
back up to his home. He stands outside of his gate.
He has a dog toy. There are cameras all around
because they're following this man's story. It's a human interest story.
Casey coven squeaks the toy and this is what you hear.
(03:37):
Awesome picks his dog up hooy hand is reunited with
his with his loved, very loved and missing for five days,
very resilient dog, Oreo, And as you can hear there,
it is extremely emotional. Casey is crying. It's just the
(04:00):
reunion that people needed to see. Myself included. There's more
to this story. So the reason that Oreo was able
to survive so long is because a very thoughtful and
compassionate firefighter who actually ended up being a battalion chief
named Brent Pascua, left open Casey Covin's doors to his
(04:24):
home and his windows, and that was in anticipation of
the fire reaching that block. Because of this battalion chief's
heroic efforts, because of his forward thinking, the dog, Oreo
was able to get back into the house outside to
the house. Outside of the house, he wasn't confined inside.
(04:45):
He was able to leave and he was spotted in
a neighbor's yard and that's when neighbors alerted Casey Covin
to the fact that Orio was still alive. After the
reunion caught on camera, Casey Covin was able to meet
eat battalion Chief Brent Pascua, where they had their own reunion,
(05:05):
very heartwarming, very emotional meeting. They embraced and Brett, excuse me,
Brent Pascua, that battalion chief who really put all of
this into motion, was able to meet Oreo as well,
and it has this story a very very happy ending
during a time when we need as many happy endings
(05:26):
as possible.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Look, it's very difficult for me to.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Not get caught up emotionally in this story. I knew
about it, yes, and I could not because just having
two small dogs.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
It rang too familiar.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Yeah, same, it was a little too close to home,
no pun intended, and those are emotions that I wouldn't
want to deal with.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
It just can't I can't imagine.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
I can't imagine what Casey was going through while waiting
to find out whether his dogs, you know, what the
fate of his dog was. But to have that re
unit again, it was something that I needed to see.
It really instilled hope in me, and I think for
the millions of people who have now seen the numerous
videos of Casey reuniting with Oreo, it does give you
(06:11):
just that modicum of hope.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
I'm glad that it has a happy ending, but it's
not a story that I could just I couldn't read it,
I couldn't watch it because you don't know how the
story ends until you're told how the story ends.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
And I didn't know that it was going to have
a happy ending.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
I'm glad it did.
Speaker 6 (06:30):
Something that didn't have a happy ending really speaks to
a lot of the scam and fraud that's going on
right now.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Sadly, people who.
Speaker 6 (06:39):
Are devastated by the fires are dealing with scams and frauds.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
But there are people who are outside.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
Of southern California who continued to be defrauded as well.
And this story involves a French woman. Her name is Anne,
and this woman was unfortunately scammed out of about eight
hundred and fifty thousand from a person online pretending to
be none other than Brad Pitt. Here's how that happened.
(07:09):
So Anne's going through a divorce. She was particularly vulnerable
and last year she met someone online. They exchanged messages,
they flirted and said it was a really nice relationship.
The person, this man, spoke to her in ways that
she needed to be spoken to. She was swept off
of her feet. This wasn't an ordinary man, however, this was,
(07:32):
to Anne's knowledge, Brad Pitt.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
How how here's how.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
So if you've ever been online and you wanted verification
of something, here's a callback. And let's say you're talking
to a person you've never met in person in reality,
you might ask that person to send you a photo
of themselves, maybe holding up something that shows the current date.
(07:59):
That's a common verification tactic, proof of life, proof of
reality in that very moment. Well, there is artificial intelligence,
and artificial intelligence can be manipulated.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
To look very much.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
Like it is, you know, a live person there, like
it is reality. And so this person, this scammer pretending
to be Brad Pit, used AI doctored images and video
some sort of video that that did also show this
brad Pit character holding up a calendar a sheet that
(08:36):
said I love you.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
And there are numerous images.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
They're disturbing when you look at them because you can
see that it is not quite brad Pit. There's something
a little off in it. Wasn't quite right, something's not
quite right. But and vulnerable going through a divorce and
really hungry for love and attention, bought the Chaine. And
here's what quote ung quote. Brad Pitt told her, Hey, Ann,
(09:02):
who I love. I can't get access to my money
because of my current divorce with Angelina.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
I need you to send me money.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
Send me money, which amounted to the total of eight
hundred and fifty thousand dollars. And I also said he
was battling Cancir, so he just this person is scammer,
really stooped low and preyed upon Anne's compassion and.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Had eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars just laying around
or at least available to her.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
She was doing pretty well.
Speaker 6 (09:37):
But now it's in the hand of or hands of
this scammer or scammers, because Anne fell for it, hook
line and sinker and has not been able to recover.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
The fund yet.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
I don't understand.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
And evidently Anne did pretty well in life, yeah with
her money, probably, you know, through other measurements, is a
pretty smart woman. Yeah, probably, Okay, you know, yeah, you're
not just gonna luck upon eight hundred and fifteen thousand
dollars liquidity. You've done something right in your life, there's
something there to then literally risk it all on the idea.
(10:11):
Let's say it was actually Brad Pitt. Let's say everything
was true. It wasn't, but let's say it was the
whole idea that you're gonna let eight hundred and fifteen
thousand dollars go out the door for someone that you, oh,
fifty thousand dollars, well, you know, tomato tomatow at that point,
it's more than hundred thousand for someone that you've never
actually met, had coffee with, hung out at the Starbucks
(10:36):
for a while, callback none of that. It just defies
any type of exponenty.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Just beyond gullibility.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
It is It really shows to what her mental state
was at the time and after as well. The way
that Anne found out that this was all a scam,
all a ruse is that she bought it. She continued
to buy it into twenty twenty four. This is a
couple of years worth of sending money back and forth.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
It was a long game.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
A long game. Well, Ann saw online viral pictures.
Speaker 6 (11:07):
Of Brad Pitt with his current girlfriend and then realized
did we all did? That Brad was not only well,
but that he was in a relationship with someone else.
So she didn't then think fortunately and that she wasn't
that she was the other woman. She just decided that
this was a scam and she cut off all ties.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
She has since checked herself into a hospital for depression. OK,
a lot going on.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
I'm sympathetic for. But she thought it was a scam
only after seeing.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
Brads only after she was he was seen with.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
His current She didn't think that it might have been
a scam after the eight hundred and fifty K went
out the window with no real confirmation of anything.
Speaker 6 (11:51):
Sometimes it makes me feel like I missed my calling
as a scammer.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Look, I think it's a criminal I'm not a criminal,
and part of the reason is there's certain places I'm
not going to go. I'm not that depraved in mind
whether I would even think to do that, much less try.
It's a horrible story, it is, and it's a cautionary
tale obviously for all of us. I don't have eight
hundred and fifty thousand dollars to give, nor would I,
(12:17):
but it does let you know that there are a
lot of people out there who are trying to separate
you from your money, especially right now as we talk
about this against the backdrop of what's happening with the fires,
and people are going to try to victimize these same
people over and over again. So I think that's the
lesson to take away from.
Speaker 6 (12:33):
That is absolutely the lesson. And also to be very
wary of things you see online. We always preach media literacy,
and AI is very smart. It's probably smarter than you
are at this point in being able to separate you
from your money. So be very wary of the things
that you see.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
So I shouldn't believe the email I got from Jennifer
Aniston who said that she likes me.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
I mean, you're mo Kelly. That could very well be
feasible in my dreams.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty. Now, It's Tough the Viral lo
Tiffany Live on CAMFI Lita with Loo Jenny. She'll talk
about the toughness.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
On social media. Viral loone with Tiffany Hubs KFI AM.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
Six forty Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. It's Later
with mo Kelly And this is part two of the
Viral Load. I'm actually watching this story in real time
as it unfolds on CNN, And not only is it
on CNN, but it's been viral online on pretty much
every app right now. This is another story that is
(13:47):
emerging out of the fire and what it involves is
a beautiful retro blue Volkswagen van, one of those vans
you've seen, very very iconic. Fits the icon how do
you say that word iconography of California?
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Did I get it?
Speaker 6 (14:05):
That's a real difficult word, but it definitely fits the
backdrop of California. When you think about leisure and surfing
and oceans, those VW vans are synonymous with the California
lifestyle and this VW van, this beautiful blue retro vehicle
miraculously survived the deadly Palisades Fire.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
This is what happened.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
Two days before the Palisades Fire erupted. A man named
Preston Martin parked his nineteen seventy seven VW Type two
van on a flat spot just up the hill from
the Getty Villa. It's in really good condition. We're watching
it here on CNN, and you can google the images
of this van so that you can see exactly what
(14:51):
we're talking about. The van miraculously survived the Palisades fire.
When you look around the van, it is complete and
utter destruction.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
The homes are leveled.
Speaker 6 (15:04):
But this van sits in that photo right in the center,
a photo that has now gone viral and has been
shared millions of times over in plenty of places, and
it stands more or less as a symbol of that
California resilience, of the resilience that so many Angelinos are experiencing.
And so here's some back info about this van. Martin
(15:28):
purchased the van sometime around his junior year of college,
when he was studying engineering at the University of California
at Santa Barbara, and after he purchased the van. He
then sold it to another person. That person is the
current owner of the van, and in that just change
of hands they became friends. But now both of these owners,
(15:53):
former and new are in the spotlight because this van
somehow survived what is now being called on CNN as
a sea of devastation. It survived the wind, it survived
the flames. The van still looks in good condition. They
say it is operable, and people are saying that it
(16:14):
is a miracle, that it makes no sense.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
It looks like they just pulled up to the corner
five minutes ago. And to think of all the devastation
around it, the heat involved, how it destroyed every structure
within eyesight around this thing, and it did not melt
the tires, It did not scorch the paint. It looks
completely untouched. That's the amazing part to me.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
And I was skeptical.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
Mo I thought perhaps someone did in fact pull this
van up, that it somehow snuck into this area and
was positioned in.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
A way that people could get photos. Well.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
The AP photographer who was able to catch the photo
on the first day that the van was able to
be seen. Once the smoke cleared, verified and validated that
the van had been there all along. And I think
this is a wonderful ad for Volkswagon when you think
about it, at least for their retro series. The next story,
the final story, deals with someone you might be familiar
(17:10):
with many people are.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
Her name is Little Kim. She's a rapper.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
She was very popular in the nineties and early two
thousands in association with the now scorned p Ditty, the
deceased Notorious Big. She made a really big name for
herself as a successful rapper, and she is still in
the public eye. People look to her, people follow her.
(17:35):
Millions of people follow her on her social media and
Little Kim felt compelled a couple of days ago to
send well wishes to the victims of those in the
fires around Los Angeles. Unfortunately, her well wishes didn't go
as planned because, while Little Kim was acknowledging the devastation
(17:57):
of the fires, she wished quote a monsoon would hit
Los Angeles to douse the flames, not quite understanding that
a monsoon is also a disaster and would not be
a better thing for us to be experiencing in Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
I don't dislike Little Kit. I don't like the sharpest
pencil in a box.
Speaker 6 (18:23):
She meant, well, but what do they say about the
road to hell? It's paved with good intentions and miss
speakings on social media that live in perpetuity.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
So you really have to be careful.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
Because while many were sympathetic, of course to the her misspeaking,
who her making that mistake and wanted to educate her,
of course, in the responses about what a monsoon actually is,
others were not so kind, called her many really harsh names,
and have used this example to kind of throw a
lot more dirt on celebrities being tone deaf when these
(18:59):
things happen.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
I don't think people really understand the power of social media,
especially if you're a celebrity. You say something that you
would probably say amongst friends and back in the day
your friends are saying like you're tripping, you're bugging, and
then someone would explain it to you when you put
it out there on social media, talking about something that's viral,
which can expand and be sent in an exponential way.
(19:24):
I don't see why people haven't figured out, especially when
it comes to disasters. You got to be very, very careful,
And I'm torried to myself as well. I'm very not
all my thoughts are put out on social media. There
are a lot of things where it's like backspace, backspace.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Backspace, delete, delete, delete, Yes, cancel a message. I do
that every single day.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
So the stuff that I put out there, it's gone
through three or four mental editors.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
You know.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
And again, she meant well, but she made a big mistake.
And like many things and not all things on social media,
it will likely live on as long as social media
is a thing, it will be there forever ever, forever, ever, ever.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Ever, ever ever.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
That's the end of the viral load.
Speaker 6 (20:10):
But mo also, please guys listening, you can catch me
on Saturday from five to seven. I'll be continuing to
talk about updates with the fire and other stories that
are now creeping back into the public sphere. So make
sure you listen in five to seven right here on
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Some of the stories that we picked for the show,
I use them as teachable moments. Yes they may be
funny when you just read the headline. Yes it may
be obvious.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
To you and me.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
But I'm quite sure someone may listen and think, like,
I don't get it. What's wrong with that? Why can't
that person do that? I thought that. You know, it's
a free country teachable moment someone probably didn't know or
needs to learn. So that's why we picked someb of
these stories. They may be funny, but they're also instructive.
A flight attendant lost her job forget this twirking at work.
(21:12):
At work. I'm not talking about a flight attendant who
got a little too drunk and loose at the club
or the grocery store and did something really stupid and ended.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
Up on TikTok.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
I'm talking about she did this at work, got fired,
and then had the dirty nerve to turn around and
ask what's wrong with a little twerk before work? An
Alaska Airlines flight attendant, and I know Alaska Airlines is
really pleased about being in the news for this. Well,
Alaska Airlines former flight attendant was fired for twerking on camera,
(21:51):
and she's now created a GoFundMe to support her while
she seeks a new job. The crew member named Nell
dar Yalla had filmed the twerking TikTok videos, So number
one She did it at work with the whole Alaska
Airlines local in the background, and then she put it
on TikTok while waiting for the captain to arrive on
(22:15):
the plane. Quote I never thought a single moment would
cost me everything. Close quote let's stop right there. See
this is a teachable moment. If you do really, really
stupid stuff, there are stupid consequences awaiting. If you thought
that just because it's not illegal to do that, it's
(22:37):
a good idea. No, and you need to stop posting
your foolishness on social media. If she had just twerked,
and I am not recommending this, If she had just
twirked and maybe send it to her boyfriend and say, hey,
look what I do it, probably no one would have
ever known. But instead she had to literally broadcast it
(22:59):
to the She left her employer now former employer, no choice.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
No choice, she captain.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
She captured the clip, which also blew up on Instagram,
so she was put on TikTok Instagram. Her caption was
ghetto bit BiH, which is slang for itch.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
Till I die. Don't let the uniform fool you.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
So she's in uniform, she is at work and she's
publicizing and promoting the fact that she's in uniform at
work and twerking.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
On the job, on the plane, on the plane.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Yes, and then is somehow surprised that she got fired
and is now turning to the public for help. Honestly,
is she opened up an only fans page. I'm quite
sure she can get the money back because the way
they pay it only fans, and she obviously is not
a to show her wares or do that kind of stuff.
(24:03):
She shouldn't do it, go fund it. But she didn't
seem all that smart to begining. Sorry, it was a
dumb thing to do.
Speaker 7 (24:08):
Look, she could definitely start up a very very successful
only page.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Page, only fans page page. Ye, yes, you can do.
Speaker 7 (24:21):
Look, her twerking skills were very robust. She's she's very
practiced in the art. You're good at whatever you practice.
And I can understand her need to talk. Sometimes when
you're working with all that, you've got to twerk. I'm
not mad that, But at work, no, young lady. No,
(24:43):
not in not in the center aisle, not in uniform,
not for all to see on the last airlines. No
company wants that time press. Look, if were McDonald's. McDonald's
would have responded the same way.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Okay, if it were Walmart, you at the grocery store
and you're twerking over the produce, they responded the same way.
It does not matter who your employer was, They're just
going to be a former employer.
Speaker 7 (25:10):
Maybe waffle House will be okay with it. Waffle House.
You know, I've seen some things at waffle House and
people have been you know, they go to see you know,
the torque rageous. I think waffle House is good with that.
Did you do it while the planes? No twerking light
was on?
Speaker 4 (25:27):
No, no, no, her The only thing, well put it
this way.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Other than that, there was something else other than the
trade table in the seatback, which is in the upright position.
Oh boy, I will wait. I will wait, Thank you
very much.
Speaker 7 (25:45):
Oh she's not going to get a job on Virgin.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
You win, Mark, you win, so hollow victory, it's meaningless.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
I'm good. I am six forty. We're live everywhere in
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Okay again, we're gonna count the three reset thousand, one thousand,
two thousand three.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
KF Im O'Kelly.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app Coast to Coast
AM with George Noori.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
George is good to talk to you again.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
It's been a minute because some things have been happening,
of course here in Los Angeles. I know you've been
following it, You've even been covering it. I wanted to
ask you pointedly, is everyone in your family, your friend circle,
you maybe even have some property out here?
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Are you okay?
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Yeah, I'm okay. I have a guests who lost the
house two years ago and some of the fires, and
he rebuilt in the same spot and then he got
hit again. Unbelievable. But I wanted to congratulate the KFI
staff and you and Tim and everybody else for just
(27:19):
excellent coverage on what a very sad situation.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Well, we appreciate that, but the credit goes to the
people who exhibit far more strength and fortitude than just
some radio hosts are coming in and talking for four
or five hours at a time.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
I appreciate it, but let's put it in its proper perspective.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
The first responders and firefighters are doing a great job.
Out there.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
So what's on the show tonight?
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Tonight we're going to talk about some strange mysteries and
later on the witchcraft on Coast to Coast. We're back.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
Hey, is great to have you back. I'll talk to
you again soon, sir.
Speaker 7 (27:55):
Okay, buddy.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
And before we get out here, look, going back to
that story about the flight attendant who got fired for
twerking on the job, what I think really bothers theme
to me. There are plenty of people who probably saw
nothing wrong with that and can't understand why she got
fired for talking at all, talking on the job, talking
(28:18):
on the job in uniform, turking on the job in
the uniform, and posting it on social media. It seems
like folks have gotten social media so twisted. And I
say that I get in arguments all the time online
with people think like, well, they just have no idea
of actions having consequences, behavior having consequences where you might
(28:43):
lose your job, and you know, there's a distinction to
be made about people were doing something not on the clock.
Maybe you heard about the Philadelphia Eagles fan who went
on this very vulgar rant against a Green Bay Packers
fan during the playoff game and people posted it online.
His job found out, he got fired from his job,
(29:05):
and people were saying like, well, why he was on.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
His free time?
Speaker 3 (29:08):
How is it that he's held responsible for what he
was doing on his free time?
Speaker 4 (29:11):
And I say, people don't understand.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
You are a representative of your company at all times,
whether you think so or not. If you're an at
will employee, and many times general workers are, they don't
need to give you a reason. They can just say
thank you, goodbye. Either party can terminate that relationship at
any time. And if you happen to be under contract,
like this flight attendant was, there's usually an infamy clause.
(29:36):
If you do anything which embarrasses the company that you
work for, they can fire you. And I don't understand
why so many in this younger generation don't understand that
there are consequences to your behavior, especially when it's either
in public or you publicize.
Speaker 7 (29:53):
You know. The thing that bothers me the most is
those in the comments section who try to turn this
into some type of attack against womanhood. There were individuals
saying things like, once again, men are trying to tell
women what they can and can't do with their body.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
And I was like, you've got to be kidding me.
You've got to be kidding me.
Speaker 7 (30:20):
If you think a company telling their employee you cannot
come to work in uniform, get on board our vehicle,
our playing and twerk and put it up on social media.
If you think that's someone trying to come down on femininity,
(30:40):
you're insane there.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
When I talk about this permissive culture, this entitlement culture,
they're seeing and this is the serious portion of the conversation. Yes,
we can make all sorts of venue indo and jokes,
but there's actually something instructive on all this. If you
think that you cannot be held accountable for your own actions,
you are in for a hell of a wake up.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
Call throughout life. Throughout life.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Not just losing jobs, but you could put yourself in
a situation where you're just unhirable, where no one will
be able to want to even get near you and
employ you because you keep demonstrating publicly that you don't
exercise good judgment. That's what it comes down to. The person,
this woman who tirked online, she's going to make it
(31:27):
very difficult for her to get an actual job anywhere anywhere,
because why because when you go for jobs. Now, they
search your name on social media, they look at your
social media site, they look at what you do post.
There's no way in the world that anyone's going to
hire this woman, not for the money that she was
probably making as an airlines employee with benefits.
Speaker 7 (31:48):
Yeah, she's not going over to like Spirit Airline or less.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
She may she may get on Jeb Blue. I get
the joke, but seriously, no, she's unhirable. I think there's
some airlines there there flat cabin crew does not take
themselves serious. They may not, but I'm saying, how do
you get through the interview process? How do you get
(32:13):
through the background check with the first thing that comes up,
The first thing which shows up is you twerking in
a work uniform.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
While on the clock. How do you explain that away?
Speaker 3 (32:27):
How do you sit in front of the interviewer and
say so, tell me about the thing that you most
regret in your employment history, you know, tell me about
the time where you exhibited bad judgment on the on
the job, and what you would do differently. Now, those
are types of interview questions that you get, and an
interviewer knows good and damn well, they're waiting for a
response to what they saw on social media, which is
(32:50):
gonna live on forever, forever, forever with her name attached
to it. Why because her dumb ass posted it. Even
if she takes it down, it's still there. Yeah, go ahead, Mark.
Speaker 7 (33:05):
Well, let me just say, you don't see people in
hot dog on a stick uniforms twerking online, although I
would pay good money to see that. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
All I can say is I remember those days of
watching them pound those lemons up and down. You know,
they were like and zip the hot dogs. Yes, yeah,
booty shorts that they were wearing. That was intentional. That
was that was I can't say it was sexual harassment,
but it was sexual exploitation.
Speaker 7 (33:32):
So it's almost like twerking would have been redundant in
those uniforms, yes, because, yeah, their shirts were almost designed
and fitted like they were corsets. You know, back in
the old days when our parents and grandparents wore coat
and tie a hat and everything onto an airplane. It
was more like a formal thing. You didn't hear a
lot about towerkuin.
Speaker 4 (33:54):
M and some of those girls would purposely make them shorter, Yes,
I purpose They.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
Knew what they were doing, what they were doing, they
knew what they were doing. I'm just saying, but that
was then. You know, the last time I had Hot
Dog gonna stick, I think was that it was at
the Pinners convention that you and Neil Savatra were broadcasting.
And the uniforms have changed. Uh, you know, I don't
think they're looser fitting short shorts. They have to come
(34:20):
down to their knees. They're like basketball shorts. Yes, they're
not what it used to be like.
Speaker 7 (34:25):
You know.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
So I'm quite sure someone at Hot Dog going to
sticks that we can't keep doing this, guys.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
We can't.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
We can't keep sending employees out there looking like they're
Hooters waitresses and then expect not to get sued. Well,
you got to have standards if you're slinging wieners.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
We're done.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
We're absolutely time out, and I'm so glad that I'm
not going to be here tomorrow for the fallout.
Speaker 4 (34:52):
I will see you all on Monday. I will be
back on Monday.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
I'm going to Chicago for a martial arts seminar. So
