Speaker 1 (00:22):
I mister bo Kelly here.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and maybe, just
maybe possibly Southern California is getting a little bit of
good news, or in the rhythm of less bad news.
We have more rain which is going to be coming
to the Southland next week. We had rain this past weekend.
It wasn't too much, so much that we had to

(00:46):
worry about mud slides.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
We got through that.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Now we're going to get a little bit more rain
next Tuesday and Wednesday. If my information is correct. I
would ask Mark Ronner, but I don't know if I
could depend on him. I don't know if I could
trust him. I can't believe he left us last night.
I didn't even let us know. He just walked out
of the students said I might come back. I might
not come back nowhere, no warning, no, no. Somebody had
a better offer. It was would you like to sit

(01:10):
in a chair for a couple hours and have us drill.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
Into your teeth?

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Drill, baby, drill and as a bonus, will play scenes
from Marathon Man and Little Shop of Horrors while you're
doing it.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
I have to ask you first, good evening, Mark Ronner.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Oh how long was the procedure yesterday a good two hours.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
It was just like Theodoric of York medieval Denis just
went at it in my mouth.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
It was awful. I don't know if there is a
worse feeling.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Maybe Twala could correct me, because he's had some horror
stories himself, But I don't know if there's a worse
feeling than feeling the drill on your jawbone and then
it punching through. As it goes through the bone, you
smell the combustion of the drill, you know, and sometimes
you might even see some smoke.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
I don't know. Does anything worse than that? No, there
probably isn't.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
And I like how you try to even freak me
out after I'm finished with it, knowing that I have
to go back. But here's here's the great irony of life,
which is that if you're afraid of the dentist and
you put it off, that makes it even worse because
when you finally do go, you're really going to get
it even harder.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
When you get older, you kind of understand that there
is no avoiding it.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
There is no avoiding it.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Like you can pay me now, you can pay me later,
but that bill is going to come due, and it
accrues interest over the years.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
Well, the thing is, I've been avoiding anything that I
thought was less than safe because of COVID. I mean,
we a thousand Americans died just last week of it,
so it's not even close to being over. But you
put off dental work for five years, there's gonna be repercussions.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
I put off dental work during the initial run of COVID,
during the pandemic portion where we were all at home
for an extended period of time.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
And there I'm not talking about I didn't brush my teeth.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
I'm saying that there has to be a higher level
of oral hygiene that you must do that you can't
necessarily do by yourself. That the scraping and the you know,
the super deep flossing and all the stuff in the gums,
you can't do at all.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
I'm glad to be back out of that share and
in this chair, this chair. It makes me appreciate it
even more because not only that the stuff they put
on TV. When we were kids, they would have like
kids posters on the ceiling. Now they have the TV
on the ceiling turned to just like the most annoying
channels possible, and you're already kind of pissed that you're there,

(03:41):
and the drilling and all that kind of stuff. You
think the worst humanly possible thoughts about these like these
yuppies who are flipping houses and stuff.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
You can actually see the TV in my dentist office,
doctor Meller, who's been on the show a couple of times.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
There's a TV.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
But because you have the dental assistant and usually the
dentist or someone else working on you, they're in your face.
We have these protective glasses on, you really can't see anything.
I have this little game I play with myself. I
know that I'm gonna be there, probably anywhere from an
hour to two hours if it's not a normal checkup,
teeth cleaning. This is what I do. I try to

(04:18):
hypnotize myself to go somewhere else. I try to take
my mind somewhere else. And this is a true story.
Every time I'm in the dentist's chair, I start doing
ninety nine bottles of beer on the wall in my head,
but I start at one ninety nine and my feeling
is by the time I get done with that, I
will be done with the appointment and for the most part.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
It works for me.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
That's astonishing because I would do anything, including taking a
huge XENX.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
Before you go.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
And so the problem with taking a huge xenx before
you go if you have severe dental anxiety is that
sometimes that acts like sodium pentathal and you wind up
running your mouth before you leave the arm.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
Yeah, my dentist is not real big on knocking you
out to do any type of procedure. They'll give us
some sort of relaxing drug. I usually don't do that,
but there's nothing that's gonna call me. They usually take
my blood pressure and they do it for all patients,
not just me, but they take your blood pressure before
they start any procedure. Yeah, and I just it's almost

(05:22):
like white coat syndromes, like that's not gonna cal me down,
that's gonna make me more anxious.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
Well, I was sent home a couple of times from
my previous dentists because they took your VP before the
procedure and mine was apparently alarming. My new dentist doesn't
do that, so I just pretend like I have no
idea that there could be anything wrong. Let's just get
this over with and to get out of here.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
There's a lot of psychology going on going to the
dentist office and twelveth since you came in, is there
anything worse than the drill busting through your jawbone?

Speaker 1 (05:52):
Got my sake? Mine was for an implant.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
Ooh, that was pretty pretty harsh because you know you're
awake from that. But I did have to have at
one point in time, I had to have a catheter
put into my neck so I could get ports for

(06:16):
dialysis because before the fishila was ready with the fishlos
where they would that's in the arm and all that, right,
so before that was ready. After that surgery, I had
to get dialysis using two ports that were on my neck.
So they gave me some local anesthetic and I'm awake
while they're pushing these catheter ports and they go into

(06:38):
the main valve the ghosts of the heart and all that.
So I had two huge ports sticking out the side
of the midic and as they're pushing those in, uh,
and you're awake for this and you see the blood
splattering onto like the little divider kind of sheet as
well on your face. That was pretty gnarly.

Speaker 4 (06:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah, twelve wins by a lot I wish you could
see Stephen. So it was like turning away like if
I no Stephan, Just because you don't look at to
Walla via the camera, it's not going to make it
sound any better or less horrible.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
Yeah, I'm ugh, who's got a better one than that?
Nobody to Walla wins by a landslide. I mean, yeah,
I guess my mouth was okay in.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
Comparison, Like anybody here woken up in the middle of
open heart surgery or something.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
Now, but I woke up in the middle of my colonoscopy. Oh, fun, fun.
That was a funny story. She was story. It's like, hey,
what's going on back there? You guy's not done yet.

Speaker 5 (07:36):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM sixty.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
And last night's plane collision right off, I'll say, right
off the water, over the water the Potomac in Washington, DC.
That spoke to me pretty personally because I've flown into
Reagan National. I want to say maybe forty five fifty
times between going to school at Georgetown University, visiting relatives

(08:05):
in Washington, d C. Going back for alumni events.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
What have you easy?

Speaker 2 (08:12):
Forty to fifty times, so I know that approach, at
least from a passengers standpoint, and I know how congested it's.
It's you know, it's not a secret how congested that
airport can be. And part of the reason why a
lot of airlines have tried to put more of their
flights going into Dulles, which is about thirty miles away.

(08:34):
It's much easier to get a flight going into Dulles
as opposed to Reagan National. But when you're in the city,
it is very very convenient, Like if you land at
Reagan National or you're flying out from Reagan National, you're
right pretty much in the heart of DC, and it
makes it easier to get around. So there's a lot
there's a reason where a lot of travelers if you

(08:56):
can prefer to fly into Reagan National. And if you've
ever been to GEORGETOWNS campus, it's right on the Potomac,
and I'm quite sure I haven't spoken to any of
the younger students, but they likely saw the crash as
it happened. Because the campus, especially the apartments, are overlooking
the Potomac. You have a clear view of everything. And

(09:17):
if you've ever been to DC, it's very common to
see the various military exercises because you have, like Annapolis,
you have a bunch of bases in that Washington, d C.
Maryland and Virginia area. This is, yes, both surprising and unsurprising.

(09:38):
Unsurprising because you have all this type of air traffic
in that particular area. It's surprising, if only because we
haven't had a major air disaster since I think maybe
two thousand and nine. And I say this as a
somewhat nervous flyer. I tell you all the time I

(09:58):
do not prefer to travel by now. You can give
me all the stats, you can give me all the
facts and figures. It's just not something I like to do.
It's not something i'll ever be completely comfortable with. But
I like to travel, and I like to see the world,
and I like to attend events more times than they're
not in California and they're not driving distance away, so

(10:20):
I have to get my behind on a plane and
I try to just suck it up and deal with it.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
But there are moments like these.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
And also I'm also impacted by my knowledge of airports
in general. I told you many times my sister recently
retired from working at LAX and I would get all
the stories that y'all never knew about the things that
were happening on planes and even on the tarmac that
most of the general public did not know about. But

(10:49):
because of social media increasingly in recent years, and because
of our desire to know more, and people are reporting more.
In other words, they're running to the press to tell
this these things. We're hearing about these incidents more and wrongly,
people get the assumption that it's now more unsafe, for
there are more incidents that we're hearing about. Yeah, there

(11:10):
are more incidents that we're hearing about, but they're not
more incidents, if that makes any sense. And some people
think that because we're hearing about more, that it's less
safe than before. No, no, no, there are other things
that are going on near missus as they call them,
problems on the tarmac where planes almost hit we as
the general public, just don't hear about them. But I

(11:31):
was thinking about what it would be like. I was
last flew into Reagan National in October when I was
back in DC for an event, and I think, Mark Ronner,
you were in for me one of those nights, if
I'm not mistaken.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
Yeah, And I don't envy you flying. I also have
a borderline flying phobia.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
Yeah, I can. I deal with it.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
And if it's an evening flight, I'm probably well lubricated,
as in liquored up. It's one of those things where
I just I have to calm myself down because I
honestly don't care for it at all.

Speaker 3 (12:07):
Well, and I'm not being an alarmist when I say
I have read more and more lately, and this is
real that climate change is increasing air turbulence. So if
you're gonna have bumpier and bumpier flights as time passes, I.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
Wish I could tell you how many pilots have told
me the same thing. Yeah, it's not a made up thing.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
The turbulence is more frequent, more severe, and it's going
to continue to move in that direction. But it did
come across this where just after the plane crash and
the collision last night, NBC four was asking some of
the people who had just arrived in Los Angeles from
Washington d C. Reagan National Airport and how they didn't

(12:45):
even know about the plane crash and the helicopter collision
until they got here on the ground, And this is
what they had to say.

Speaker 6 (12:53):
Imagine, if you will. These are passengers who are on
a plane from Reagan National up without any satellite TV,
so they couldn't watch any live events. We were with
some of them after they had just learned what happened.
The last flight of the night from Reagan National to
Lax arrives, and those on board seemed to be among

(13:16):
the last to know.

Speaker 7 (13:18):
As we got service at DCOT. Here at Lax, the
first thing that pops up in my news highlight is
the crash.

Speaker 8 (13:26):
We only heard when we landed. We got texts from
family back home. Our son texted and asked if we
were okay, But in the air we didn't hear anything
about it.

Speaker 6 (13:36):
Here at the baggage claim, their phones fill them in.

Speaker 7 (13:39):
Still processing it. I'm still processing it, coming down the
escalator els processing it.

Speaker 6 (13:44):
Myron Fields, who lives just minutes from Reagan, processing what
happened at his hometown airport, just hours after his American
Airlines flight took off for LA.

Speaker 7 (13:54):
I'm heartbroken for those who are affected by this. I'm
also grateful to have missed such.

Speaker 6 (13:58):
An accident making headlines. Just one month ago, air traffic
control had to intervene when a plane carrying the good
Zaga men's basketball team near the runway where another plane
was set to take off, The results only a near miss.
Now it is here tonight at Lax, where for some
vacationers' thoughts turned a home.

Speaker 8 (14:21):
I live in the DC area and a retired army
so I feel for the three folks, three soldiers that
are apparently on the black Hawks, and hopefully we'll find out.

Speaker 6 (14:32):
Soon, and for those who will be boarding once again,
reluctant to get back in the.

Speaker 4 (14:37):
Air, Yes, reluctance to fly. It had been. However, the
reality is that there's danger everywhere.

Speaker 9 (14:45):
Well, I mean, I'm more concerned about driving around in
LA traffic. I mean, it's you know, aymen, it's got
any sense knows that air airline travels a thousand times
safer than driving to the grocery store.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
All right, hold on, hold on, hold on there. I'm
not so sure I agree with that. I know the stats. Yes,
people die in car accidents on a daily basis. All
I'm saying is when a driver makes a mistake, and
people are on their phones, they're making mistakes every single day.

(15:18):
People don't necessarily die when a pilot makes a mistake.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
Everybody dies. You don't get to have a fender bender
in an aircraft.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
Right, It's not the same. If there is a mechanical failure,
everybody dies. Okay, If there's a mechanical failure. When I'm
driving home, I'm stranded on the side of the road.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
It's not this.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
If you just want to compare statistics of flights and
deaths and people getting in their cars and deaths. Yeah,
but that doesn't make it the plane saf fur then
driving you know, I do not have to worry about
ending up in a ball of flames going to the

(16:05):
grocery store.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
To use his analogy.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
Now, and I should say, in case anybody thinks I'm
overreacting to when I talk about having a borderline phobia,
one of the very first big stories I ever went
out when Baby Cub reporter Mark was a reporter, was
an airplane crash in a field in Indiana, and it
was at nighttime and I was the first person to

(16:28):
hear it come over the radio. It was just you know,
skeleton crew in the newsroom at the time, and it
was one of those moments where everybody mobilizes, everybody gets
called in and you're sent out to the scene and
before we get sent out of the scene. While we're
getting our bags and everything ready to go, we hear
over the police radio. And by the way, the largest
part body part anybody's found in the field so far

(16:51):
is one human hand that will affect you the rest.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
Of your life.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
I remember, I think it was a Saturday, Yeah, I
think it was a Saturday. Twella and I were working
and they had the plane crash at San Francisco Airport.
I think it was Asianic Airlines and it landed short
at the runway and then it ended up crashing on
landing and we had to cover it live pretty much

(17:16):
as it was happening, like right after it happened.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
You know, we go into this wall to wall coverage.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
And the more that you know, let me just say this,
the more you know about what happens in a plane crash,
the less you will try to equate it to a
car crash.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
That's the only way I can describe it. Oh yeah,
I've said.

Speaker 3 (17:32):
Before that age it's insane that we are entire transportation
system is based on cars coming inches apart from each
other and never ever so much as touching. Translate that
by orders of magnitude to airplanes.

Speaker 4 (17:46):
The reality is that there's danger everywhere.

Speaker 9 (17:48):
Well, I mean, I'm more concerned about driving around in
LA traffic.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
Yes, but we're pretty much driving slowly five miles an hour. Yes,
you might get it an accident. Yes, it might even
rear end you, but you're not pretty much. I'm pretty
sure this, don't quote me, But you're not going to
end up in a ball of fire or the side
of the mountain.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
It's not quite the same. And I hate that analogy.

Speaker 9 (18:12):
Well, I mean, I'm more concerned about driving around in
LA traffic. I mean it's you know, ay, it's got
any sense knows that air airline travels a thousand times
safer than driving to the grocery store.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
You know what, when I'm driving to the grocery store,
I don't have to have my seat back in my
trade table, in my upright position.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
I don't have to do anything like that.

Speaker 3 (18:36):
No, here's my question for people who say things like that,
How often when you're driving to the grocery store are
you gripping the arms in your car like I was
at the dentist yesterday. That doesn't usually happen in the car,
but it happens to me. Every time I'm in a plane.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
Yeah, it's not an irrational fear. I'm with you, Mark,
And just because it doesn't happen often, it doesn't mean
that it's quote unquote safer. And I know how they
do the math on it. And that's one of the things.
I can't tell everything that I know. But if you
just equate number of incidents with actual safety, if I

(19:11):
could tell you everything I knew about put this way,
we're just now learning all the things that Boeing wasn't
doing for its planes.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
Oh that's a whole not wax right there.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
That's a part of the whole equation about flying in safety,
and we're just now learning about that.

Speaker 5 (19:29):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
kf I am six forty.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
KIM six forty is Later with Mo Kelly Live Everywhere
and the iHeart ready up.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
We're dropping in to fire A right now. It's doctor
Dre on stage. Makes some noise, Isshila, he's a legend here.
Hell yeah, I'm gonna say this is a magical moment
for me.

Speaker 10 (19:55):
One. I want to take a little bit time and
talk to y'all for a second. Is show I've got
so much love for you guys, and this summer will
be the mark of forty.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
Years that I've been in this business.

Speaker 10 (20:11):
And I appreciate all the love that you guys have
been given me and the reason why we're here.

Speaker 4 (20:16):
I appreciate all.

Speaker 10 (20:17):
The first responders and all the fire men.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
That put their lives.

Speaker 10 (20:24):
On the line.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
I appreciate all that love you feel me.

Speaker 10 (20:30):
Yeah, it's all about love for me tonight. But guess
what else I got.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
And it's their version. We're gonna drop out of that.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
Yeah, we were listening briefly to fire Aid and it's
not for kids.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
Let me just put it like that. But I will
say this, these are full sets.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
We were wondering whether we're going to do one song
or two songs or very small sets. No, these are
full on stage productions. And from what I understand when
I got some calls from people who are there, that
they're doing.

Speaker 1 (21:15):
This throughout the night. This is like an all day telethon.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
It's like Jerry Lewis where you're going to be calling
in making donations. You can donate at FIREAIDLA dot org.
They have a number that they've been putting up on screen.
It's not up at the moment where you can text
your donations, they'll send you a link. And this is
something that from what I understand, is going to be

(21:39):
going on all night well into the morning. People are
having seemingly a great time. Doesn't seem like there's a
space in the house in at least this. I don't
know which venue this is. Do you know which one
this is, Stephan, Let's see cause at seven forty both
venues are going.

Speaker 4 (21:59):
At this point.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
But which one is Anderson Pop performing?

Speaker 4 (22:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (22:03):
That's a key forum. Okay, so this is the key
of form that we're seeing right now. So there's gonna
be surprises because that was dre Yeah. Oh look, anybody,
here's the thing. This goes back to everyone being in
LA for the Grammys, and anyone who's in the music
industry is probably here and probably wants some FaceTime, some

(22:24):
stage time, because where else are you going to get
that type of coverage where you're on six different streaming
channels YouTube, I'm watching it on my computer. Obviously all
of the iHeart music stations are covering it and carrying
it live. Now, this is what I want to know.
If they're playing what are they dealing with? The with
the cussing. That's a good day.

Speaker 3 (22:43):
They've got a dumb button, just like we do, and
they're probably every five seconds, dump dump now on the
live stream, they're like, let it fly, yes, let it
fly on the streaming too.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
So if you were listening to this on the iHeartRadio app,
and let's say you're listening via Real ninety two to
three or Kiss FM, you'll get the live, unadulterated, uncensored
version of the show. I don't know if it's going
to be the same way on the streaming I guess
it is.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
I don't think they would dump anything on the streaming apps.

Speaker 3 (23:19):
No, But oscar a Marriage just hit me and he
says that he's listening on the FMS, and all I
can hear is just dumps, dump, dump, just chopping up.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
Okay, so you're right, So let's just tell people what's
really going on when you have a dump button. What
you are hearing right now, If you're hearing my voice
that happened thirty seconds ago, it's like a time machine
what you're hearing. Yes, I know, but just blew everyone's
mind with the dump button. If I were to cuss
right now, Stephan has about maybe twenty seven seconds to
decide whether he's going to hit the dump button and

(23:52):
cut it out. And so you listening at home or
in your car, assuming you're listening terrestrial radio, you'd never
hear it. But if you're listening on the iHeartRadio app,
you're going to hear everything. Yeah, every mother, father's, sister, brother,
you know, g don, all that kind of stuff. If
I were to say it, you'd hear it on the stream.
But if you're listening at home or in your car

(24:15):
on the terrestrial radio, you would never hear it, and
it would just sound choppy, like something got chopped out
of what I was saying and it skips.

Speaker 4 (24:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (24:23):
What's interesting is looking at this fire aid coverage because
now they're going to yeah yeah, clips of firefighters and
and of the of the fight and just the impact
of the fire. This is taking me back. And I
don't know about you, Mow or foods. She may be
too young, Ron, I'm sure you used to grow up

(24:44):
on as well. But like the Jerry Lewis telethon, Yeah,
United Negro College Fund with Lou Rawls, when they would
all day until two three o'clock in the morning, and
just bands will come out and perform, and they'd come
back and introduce you to some needy individual who needed it.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
The three levels of people on the phones talking to nobody,
supposedly taking donations.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
I'm waiting for them to cut to that.

Speaker 3 (25:05):
If you cut to the donation center where people are
on the lines, I'm gonna lose it because this is
what I'm seeing right now.

Speaker 1 (25:12):
It looks beautiful.

Speaker 3 (25:13):
This is this is next level, and this is much
more than what I think you and I'm what we
thought it was gonna be because there was the information
was so sparse as far as the full detail. But
looking at this now, I'm like, oh no, this looks
like something that was pre produced, like you all had
this last week.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
To think that this was not thrown together, but put
together in two weeks time, let's say, at the most,
to have this quality of presentation with the backdrops and
the scrims and the lights, that you would never know
that this was a two week operation.

Speaker 3 (25:51):
Yeah, Because even Jojo said, you know, Tate mccray's one
of the performers and she literally rehearsed her part yesterday.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
Will continue to drop in and out over the course
of the evening. We have a lot of music tonight,
so just keep it right here. It's Later with Mo Kelly.
If I AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 5 (26:09):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
Hey, Stephan, you recognize that music.

Speaker 3 (26:16):
It sounds familiar, but I can't. I can't figure it out.
Mark Ronerd, does that theme ring a bell for you?
It's got to be some hairband from the eighties. No, no, no.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
And when I tell you whose it is, you definitely
will know it's not a hair band.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
Okay, Doctor Phil's TV it's the exact opposite.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
Okay, Yes, Doctor Phil is doing the TV thing all again.
But you know he's been a little bit more political lately.
To that end, he's marrying his increased political i'll say
visibility with his next TV show, Doctor Phil better oh,
I should say. Also known as Phil McGraw, he joined

(27:01):
the Borders art Tom Holman and a team of ice
agents this past week as they took various illegal immigrants
into custody in Chicago. Now, Doctor Phil a LA Cops.
That's the theme here. He is going around with his
camera filming taping these raids and also interviewing the people

(27:26):
as they're being rated. I'm not so sure how I
feel about that. It seems exploitative. Maybe that's just me.
Does it seem that way? It's well, you know, it
seems us in quotation marks because it is it exactly is?
You know that McGraw he spoke at a Trump campaign

(27:46):
event back in October. He shared on ICE Excuse me
shared on X that ICE aim to pick two hundred
and seventy quote unquote high value targets and Phil McGraw,
Doctor Phil has made it his television endeavor to be
part of this and document all of it. And I
guess it's going to be packaged into a new TV

(28:08):
show full of interviews. I don't know if it's going
to be more like Jerry Springer Cops or is it
going to be something like Oprah Winfrey where he sits
down and talks to various people who've been arrested, detained
to be deported. I don't know, but this is going
to be Doctor Phil's return to TV. Yeah, I'm looking

(28:29):
forward to it or not. And we know that this
is part of ICE, their larger operation to crack down
on immigration, which is no secret to anyone. But there's
something different, and I don't know if I could put
my finger on it.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
I'm being very serious.

Speaker 3 (28:46):
Now.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
Is it like Cops or is it not like Cops?

Speaker 2 (28:52):
Is it like Cops in the sense of we get
to see something that we haven't seen before and get
to see what it's like for law enforcement on a
daily basis. And I know the people who are arrested
to detain in the show Cops, they sign a waiver
if their face is going to be shown during the show.

(29:13):
They don't sign a waiver and then they blur out
their faces. Is it going to be like that or
is it going to be like something else?

Speaker 1 (29:21):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
I just know that I don't know if this is
the right show at the right time to convey the
right message that people are going to be comfortable with.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
I don't know. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
All I know is is coming to TV and Doctor
Phil is going to be the host, and it's going
to be across LA Chicago, Newark, and Miami. As far
as these ice rates that he is going to be covering.
In fact, I've seen various reports on social media that
people have recognized him during the race because he's there

(29:59):
with a complete crew covering the ice raids.

Speaker 3 (30:02):
And what kind of penetrating, insightful, decent questions is doctor
Phil asking these people as they're being herded out of
their homes.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
That's not what he's known for. No, no, no, no,
that's not his thing. No no, no, no, I must have
missed something. No no, no, that's not his style. No no,
he's not there for the hard hitting questions. He's not
there for the investigative pieces. He's there to just ask
questions with no particular direction or merit.

Speaker 3 (30:32):
Surely he must be there to make things better for everybody.
He wouldn't just be taking advantage of the situation for
no good reason.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
No, he's there to take care. He's trying. He's there
to take advantage of the situation and make money for himself. Well,
isn't that disappointing?

Speaker 2 (30:47):
No, no, no, it doesn't disappoint me at all, because
he's not known for much more than that.

Speaker 3 (30:52):
So you're actually you're sitting there trying to tell me
that he's not there to illuminate an important situation.

Speaker 1 (30:57):
For the public. Not at all. He is taking full
of advantage of it and exploiting it. Oh, what's left
to believe in?

Speaker 4 (31:03):
Huh?

Speaker 2 (31:03):
No, I believe. Look, I believe exactly. That's why he's
there and that's what he's going to do. And he
saw an opportunity and it's America and he's capitalizing on it.

Speaker 3 (31:15):
But he seemed like such an intelligent, upright guy prior
to this.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
No, I just seemed like he just seemed like someone
who's on the Oprah Winfrey Show. Oh yeah, we have
heard a think. KF I am six forty. We're live
everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.

your mind, We're glad you're here.
