Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
k if I Am six forty on Wednesdays.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Model says it short workout, This baptom no workout.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
K if I Am six forty is Later with Mo
Kelly and Claudine Cooper. We are live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app on this Wellness Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Claudine's good to see you.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Let's get into unfortunately these winter blues.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Oh, it's good to be seen Mo.
Speaker 5 (00:59):
And you did text me earlier and say the weather
is acting up. If I don't want to drive, you know,
we could catch up next week. However, you notice I
said I will not be deterred.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
By a little weather.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
Yes, okay, So that brings me to the seasonal depression,
which a lot of people do experience. It's shorter days,
it's colder, you're kind of in the house.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
A little bit more.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
Here's the thing with working out as my job, I
really don't have a choice. I can't just call forty
people and say, hey, guys, you know it's chilly out here,
you know it's raining.
Speaker 6 (01:42):
I'm not gonna make it.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
It doesn't work like that.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
So I think my job kind of forces me to
go into a very I don't want to say joyful,
but a communal space. And one of the things that
I think can contribute to seasonal depression is the isolation
of being in the house watching your shows and not
(02:06):
connecting with a lot of people.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
I really do believe in the power of community.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
When we Because I'm one who will binge watch a
show in my downtime and all of a sudden I've
lost three or four hours in a given day, let's
say it's a Saturday or a Sunday, I am less
inclined to then work out, of course, and it may
not be mood related, it may not be winter blues,
(02:32):
but all the external stimuli or saying sit down on
a couch.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
Sure, I'll tell you Saturday afternoon, Sunday afternoon in the gym,
those are the low times. And so if that's kind
of a time when people are at home chilling, watching
their shows and all of that, I suggest doing some
movement in front of the TV. You don't have to
go into the gym. I do believe there is power
(03:01):
in being around people. It does engage us and energize
us in ways that being at home. I mean, how
many times have you said, yeah, I'm gonna do it.
I'm gonna do my workout from home, and then you're
at home.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I well, is that the phone right? Yeah? Oh lit
in time, it's time for dinner. But when I say
the winter blues, that is a real thing. It's one
thing to call it the winter blues, but they do
call it seasonal effective disorder. Yes, and some of the
symptoms include reduced desire to do things like exercise and socialize.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Okay, okay, now this is the thing. I'm not telling
everybody to join a gym. Although last week we did
talk about New Year's resolutions, and I will say this, mo,
I have seen a decline in the attendance this week.
So oh oh, so the people who were gung ho
January first week in January, da da da da da.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
It's tapering off a little bit right now.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
So when it's like National quick.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Day, I think they say it's like a couple weeks
into January.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Okay, I'm seeing it.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
Really, this week has been the first week that things
have really kind of slowed down in the gym.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
I think it's a variety of things, and sometimes maybe
I get too much of my own head. But since
it is winter, since it is colder, since we've had
the longest January in the history of my of you know, forever, one.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Hundred and twenty days of January, it felt like there's
something else that I'm remembering.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
In the winter, I'm more inclined to start thinking about
people who were no longer here. My father passed in March,
my mother's mother passed in the month of March. So
you get these annual reminders which may slow you down
in many ways.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Is that unusual.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
I don't know if you know this or not, but
what brought me to exercise was my grief journey, and
that was something that.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Took me down.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Literally, same thing lost a few people back to back.
You know how they say it comes in threes, Well,
it hit me in threes, and I was in high
school at the time, and I just I couldn't get
out the bed, and I'm like, I know, I can't
be this tired, right, And exhaustion or fatigue is one
(05:22):
example of depression. And so once my mom kind of
noticed because I lived with my dad at the time,
and my mom noticed that, I was like, yeah, I'm
just too tired, Dad, I don't want to get up.
My mom was like, I think you should see someone.
She knew I had gone through a lot of grief
and loss at that time, and so when I talked
to the counselor, she basically just looked at.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Me and said, you're young.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
You are energetic aside from what you're going through right now,
because I was in sports and stuff. I did cheer,
you know, and she was like, dedicate sixty minutes a
day to moving your body and let's see, let's check
in and see how you feel. At first, being the
teenager that I was who knows everything, I was like.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
I'm not doing that. That sounds crazy.
Speaker 6 (06:09):
All oh, I can't picture that. A teenager who knows everything.
They make those but saying that to say, I was like,
I'm not doing that. That's that's silly advice.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
And keep in mind, wellness was not trending like it
is today that we're talking about nineteen ninety two at
this time, and.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
It felt like yesterday.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
But it wasn't, as my kids would say, the nineteen.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Hundreds the last century.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Way back in the nineteen hundreds.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
I say that to say, eventually I got sick and
tired of being sick and tired and I popped a
video into the VCR and I didn't like the aerobics instructor,
but I did like the workout, so I turned her
down and I turned up my own music. And at
the time, I was obsessed with West Coast Rap. It
(06:59):
had just started kind of really catching on, and so
I was listening to NWA, I was listening to ice Cube,
I was listening to Too Short, and I was doing
my workouts and it was to the video. But that's
kind of how I got into working out, and that's
still my style of instructed.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
I'd like to have some sort of distracting element to
workout so I don't have to really think about what
I'm doing.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
And it could be.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Marching in front of my TV, it could be dancing
to music in headphones. But yes, I try to sneak in.
It's almost like putting a little sugar on top of
the medicine.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
And you and I we love music, and I think
there's a lot of people who would find that music
and movement together do have an element of healing. And
if you are grieving, to anyone who's listening, number one,
I feel you, and I know how hard it can
be to get up. But number two, if you move
(08:03):
your body and pair it with music, you will feel better.
And trust me on this from experience.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
She's Claudin Cooper. We'll have more with her our nice
exercise lady in just a moment. You can find out
more about her at Claudinecooper dot com.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
We'll be right back.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI Am six four.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Days Later with mo Kelly with Claudinecooper. Go to Claudinecooper
dot com. You can see all that she does in
the community specifically. In fact, she might have a free
community workout coming up weather for me.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Yeah, yah, drum roll.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
We've taken a couple months off just to, you know,
kind of get through football season because, as many people know,
I live and work in Inglewood, California, whiches the entertainment,
sports and entertainment.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I don't know how you do it.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
I don't live in Inglewood, but I live Inglewood adjacent
and a day in which you might I have to
check my calendar. Okay, there's something going on it, into it,
there's something going on it, so FI, there's something going out.
The Kia form and YouTube theater, and every once a
while there'll be something going on at all of them
on a given.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Day, and that's a fact.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
And then when those days happen, we have insane traffic.
But for the most part at this point, because I
work and live in the entertainment area, I just walk,
you know, in front.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Of the other must be nice. I just walk to
work today.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Yes, it is nice.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
And anybody who lives in LA knows that that is
like a big luxury to be able to be that
close and have no commute.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Yeah it is.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
It sounds like you're almost like you're taunting me with
that while.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
You drive to Burbank from Inglewood adjacent. Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Yeah no.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
And I will say this, I've had commutes and I've
not had commutes, and I will trade, like I'll take
a pay cut to have less of a commute type
of thing.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
You know that it's a quality of life thing.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Actually, I mean I could get back three or four
hours of my day just by not commuting.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Oh, I love KA if I don't think otherwise.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
I'm just saying, you know, you love your job.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
I'm just saying that if I took out the commute aspect,
I get back at least three hours of my day.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
You know, that's one of the things that I feel like,
even though the traffic is tough in Englewood, I do
look forward to having a walkable neighborhood, not just for
the sports or for my job, but restaurants and things
to see and things to do. So I lived in
New York City when I was a younger woman, and
(10:47):
I truly miss being able to walk everywhere.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
You know, talk about health and wellness.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
When I went to Italy and also Korea, these are
societies largely predicated on walking. You walk everywhere, and I
noticed I saw nobody who was obese, not a single person.
After a while, I was conscious of it, and then
you realize, gosh, we're walking five and six miles a day. Yes,
(11:16):
it's vacation, but for people. When I was in Italy,
it's a way of life. When I was in Korea,
it was a way of life. You walked everywhere.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
And you know, walking is still one of the best
ways to move our bodies and to stay youthful in
how we move because walking is what we're designed to do.
The sedentary lifestyle, the sitting in the car or the
sitting at the computer or the binge watching. And let's
(11:46):
just be clear, I do binge watch too, you know,
but I don't have a tremo. I do like to
recommend putting out a mat on the floor for fact
flexibility and stretching while you're watching. You don't have to
necessarily do a workout, but we can improve our flexibility
(12:10):
by just doing some stretches in front of the TV.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
That's what I try to do because I don't like stretching.
If because if I'm doing dynamic stretching, in other words,
trying to increase my flexibility, it's painful, it's uncomfortable, and
I would rather take my mind away by just watching TV.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
And all of a sudden, I've been stretching for a
good forty minutes.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Oh that's amazing.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
And honestly, the older we get, the less flexible we become.
And I mean that myndrand, body and soul and so
to stay flexible is going to require some kind of
work and that goes for mind, body and soul. Like
I recently decided that I was going to start reading
(12:52):
more books again.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
I love to read.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Do you read, moll I read, but not for the
type of enjoyment reading because I'm always having to read
the news. I don't do a lot of books. I'll
do audiobooks because I'm always rip racing and running. That's
the truth, you know.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
And I wanted to carve out some time that was
screen free, so I'm not doing it on a kindle.
I'm literally opening a book and turning a page and
reading so that I can take some time to exercise
my mind. And I do feel like the brain also
needs a workout.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Have you noticed more and more.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
People being diagnosed with dementia and Alzheimer's.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Absolutely, and that's why I try to keep my brain very,
very active.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
So what are some ways that you exercise your brain?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Quizes Teasers, Yeah, trivia where I'm forced to recall things
and be able to summon information very quickly, because that's
a large part of my job. I may I have
to always stay in my train of thought, and it's
very fatiguing over the course of a three hour show.
I can't lose my train of thought. It happens on
(14:04):
very very rare occasions. But part of exercising that brain
muscle is always pushing it in different ways.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
So I'm only with you for about you know, fifteen
twenty minutes right. I find it difficult to stay on track,
and in fact, I've said to you before, like, oh
I did it, I stayed on track, I came back right.
It is a skill and it does exercise your brain.
(14:32):
I have a couple more tips that your listeners might
like for exercising their brain as well. One of the
ways that I exercise my brain is by not using
my GPS to get somewhere, to really have to recall
the name of a street, or was I here before?
Did I take a right? And I even told Tuala
out there. I'm so proud of myself now because I
(14:55):
can get to this station from where I live with
no GP. And my daughters are always like, so just
turn the GPS on for traffic, mom, because we can
go a different way if there's traffic. And I say,
I just a lot enough time that if I hit traffic,
I'll be all right.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
I wonder what kids or young adults would do without
GPS today. I know they can't use a Thomas guy,
so I mean, I just I wonder how they would function.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
My so, my younger daughter recently, she went somewhere and
she didn't use her GPS, and she said, you know, mom,
I like not using my GPS. I like knowing how
to get somewhere. It actually is one of those things
that when we have our brain activated, we recognize it too.
Even my daughter, who's, you know, a teenager, She's like, hmmm,
(15:50):
I like that. And so I feel like that's one way.
Another way is also recalling a memory. Right, you spoke
a little bit about that, But maybe get together with
a friend and say, do you remember when we were
on spring break in blah blah blah and see if
you guys kind of remember it similarly. So those are
(16:10):
just a couple of ways that I use to, you know,
exercise my brain.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
You bring up a great point, and we're almost out
of time, but it's a great point where as you age,
some memories fade yes, and some memories are triggered by
just keeping active and stimulating your mind. And when I
do listen to music in the car, I may listen
to eighties and seventies music because it brings back the
flood of memories and feelings and emotions that hadn't had
(16:38):
in many years. But music is the closest thing we
have to a time machine and you remember exactly what
you fad, how you felt, who you were dating, and
just like that. So I use that as an active
measure to keep my mind, you know, limber as it were.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
Well, speaking of keeping the mind limber, I'm coming back
to the free community workout that I was saying that
we've and on hold for a couple of months due
to football season. Yay, But March first, at nine am,
there will be a big free community workout our farmers
Market and if you want to come see the gym.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
I didn't mean to get.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
To the Farmer's Market because I usually park over there
going to your workout, but I've never had a chance
to check it out.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
But I hear great things about.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
Oh so many nice farmers who just bring in the
freshest fruits, vegetables, desserts.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
I always get in trouble when I go.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
I see I'm trying to cut back and there you
are just dangle it in front of it.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
No, I can't can't eat all those desserts.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
I mean fresh made like bars, cookies, cakes, croissants, just ough.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Yeah, it's bad. I'm there for Kale. I come out
with a dozen something.
Speaker 7 (17:48):
Shame on you that.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
You could eat some kale. You and my wife.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
I love kale, right you the best way to do
a caale. I got to tell you about kale.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
Chop an avocado in half, drop it in the kale,
massage it into the kale season the kale bam.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
I don't like avocado either.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Get him out of here.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Hey, I was here first.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
Oh yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
My b Claudiecooper dot com Claude always good to see
you and I'll see.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
You against so see you too. Thank you for having me.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
It's Later with Mo Kelly CAFI AM six forty live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Sunday is the super Bowl. Yes, I can call it
the super Bowl. We're not trying to sell anything. I
don't have to call it the Big Game. It's the
super Bowl. Sunday is the Super Bowl. And let's say,
for example, or hypothetically, that a friend of yours called
you at the last minute said hey, I need you
to get down here. I have an extra ticket for
(18:47):
you to go to see the Super Bowl between the
Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs. That means you
you would be going to New Orleans. It's in New
Orleans at the Super Bowl Dome. And right now now,
if you decided to get up a flight, and let's
say you had to book your own hotel because it's
only a ticket to the game, and I'm promising you
(19:08):
a place to stay. Check this out. American Airlines a
round trip coach ticket. Let's say you're leaving out on Saturday,
come back on Monday, get in the day before the game,
come back to day after the game.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Round trip coach starts at one eight hundred and ninety
two dollars coach. If you want to pay for first.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Class seven eight hundred and fifty seven dollars. We're only
going two time zones. You're going from Los Angeles to
New Orleans. I didn't say you're going to I don't know,
a Madagascar. J Yeah, you're not going to South Africa,
not acrossing three continents or something. You're going from he
(20:00):
to New Orleans. Eight thousand dollars for a first class ticket.
Almost two thousand dollars on American Airlines for a coach ticket.
And that's the base. I mean, if you get like
a business class. Obviously it's more than that, but the
round trip start at eighteen hundred dollars. Okay, let's say Mark,
(20:21):
you know, he he spots me the money for the flight,
and I'm really appreciative.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
It's already science fiction. Right now.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
I got to get my hotel room, and as of
today today, if I wanted to stay at the Legacy
B and B Suites, which is the New Orleans Central
Business District, four thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
A night a night.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
No, you're not going to be spending that much time
in any hotel room, even if you were spending that
much time in a hotel room with a self employed model. Okay,
it's not worth four thousand dollars a night for four
thousand dollar night, I should have the self employed model.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Never mind, let me not say that on the radio.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
The Lafayette, New Orleans is thirty eight hundred and twenty
four dollars per night, so you can get out in
two days for about eight seven hundred and ninety six
dollars after taxes and fees are included. If you want
to now, listen to this the best Western plus Saint
Christopher Hotel. Anything that says Best Western should be discount right,
(21:30):
right if you call it best Western, if you call
it courtyard, that's not top of the line, the best
Western in the New Orleans Central Business District three thousand,
two hundred and fifty one dollars a night. I would
rather sleep in my car. Noh, what do they think
(21:51):
this is comic con? Well, we were just talking about
price gouging and how you know how that's illegal. Holiday
Inn Express Okay, we all know that's that's bargain basement, right,
Holiday Inn Express hit the basement. Yeah, you are one
step above Motel six, one step above thirteen hundred dollars
(22:14):
per night, per night. Seriously, I would drive my suv
or rent an suv from the airport and sleep in
the suv and then walk into like a Denny's and
do you know a hotspots bath in the bathroom. Just
hit the hot spots for one thousand dollars a night.
(22:38):
I'm not going to New Orleans to see the Super Bowl.
I was just talking to Clauding Cooper, who was on
last segment, and she was rubbing it in my face
that she had actually been to two Super Bowls, And
I said, I don't see a scenario in which I
will ever go to a super Bowl unless unless it
is in LA because I don't have to pay all
(22:59):
the the cost for the for the flight. You just
walk there, right, I could literally just walk there and
someone's going to provide the ticket, like their corporate tickets everywhere.
Like someone has a like a five seventy and they
had tickets for their skybox and they said, mo, you know,
we won't really want you there.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Then I would go to.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
The super Bowl, and if it's at Sofi Stadium, I
would go. But outside of that, I don't see a
scenario if only because there's nothing. I mean, yeah, I
guess you want to be able to say I was there.
But as far as watching the game itself, it's better
at home. It's got to be better at home. The
food is better at home, it's closer, there's no line
(23:43):
for the bathroom. It's cheaper, but just damn sure.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Cheaper, you know.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
And I'm I would put my setup against any stadium
skybox setup. I've been in a skybox. It's just a
leather seat. You're far away from the action. They got
a light, you got some nice big string TVs in
in the suite. But it's not better than what you
have at home, not bigger than your eighty incher. That's
(24:10):
all right, baby, that's right. What's my name? Say my name?
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Not everyone has one of those.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Say my name?
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Whose is it? Whose is it?
Speaker 3 (24:19):
It's Later with mo Kelly KFI AM six forty, We're
Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. And there is this
song which is being turned into a movie. If you
are old enough to know the song, Escape the penut
Colada song. If you like Peter ducking Lotas, they're turning
that into a rom com. We'll tell you about that
(24:42):
when we come back.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from KFI.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
AM six forty kf I AM six forty. This Later
with mo Kelly, We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
And that is Rupert Holmes's classic song idled Escape the
Peni Colada Song. And it's going to be turned into
a movie, specifically a rom com.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Who's going to be in it? Too early to tell.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
They have not written the movie yet, but they're out
looking for writers to pen a script. And Rupert Holmes
is a part of the production crew putting this movie
together and I got to say, if you're not familiar
with the song, you have to look up the words
because it has to be arguably the most disrespectful song
(25:36):
ever and it is perfect to turn into a movie.
Any song which starts with I was tired of my lady.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Well, at least they didn't say old lady.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Look, it might as well have been that I was
tired of my lady. We'd been together too long, Like
a worn out recording of a favorite song. This is
not a love story. Oh it's dark. It's very dark,
and let's be honest about what it is he's talking about.
In a nineteen seventy sense going on Ashley Madison. He's
(26:14):
putting out there that I am looking to cheat on
my woman. I'm tired of my lady, so I'm going
to put out this want ad in the paper. And
I know if you're under the age of thirty five,
it's like, what's the want ad? Okay, it's in a
personal session. You could you know, you could before they
had dating sites. You could put a man seeking woman
thirty five Da da da da dah. You put out
(26:34):
an actual ad. This guy is putting out an ad
so he can cheat on his woman.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Long story short.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
If you know the song, his woman is doing the
exact same thing, and they end up in their tips
to cheat on each other. They end up responding to
each other's ad, and they meet up at the end.
But if you read the lyrics to the song, I mean,
I've known the song for many years. But if you
really sit down with the lyrics, you realize that this
(27:03):
guy is an a hole. If you're not into yoga,
if you have half a brain, if you like making
love at midnight, okay, so you like having sex at night.
Who what's special about that? I really narrows it down,
doesn't it right in the dunes on the cape? Then
I'm the love that you've looked for. Write to me
(27:25):
and escape. The second verse goes like this, I didn't
think about my lady. I know that sounds kind of mean,
but me and my old lady had fallen into the
same old, dull routine. So I wrote to the paper,
took out a personal ad, and though I'm nobody's poet,
(27:45):
I thought it wasn't half bad.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
He thinks very highly of himself and no short to
do self regard.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
There.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Yes, I like penicoladas and getting caught in the rain.
You know, I'm not much into hell food. I am
into Champagne. I've got to meet you tomorrow borrow by
noon and cut through all this red tape at a
bar called O'Malley's, where we'll plan our escape. They've already
mapped out where they're gonna meet. You know, they gotta
cut through the red tape. In other words, you're gonna
(28:12):
hurry up and get down to the good stuff and
hit it.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
The intention of both of.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
These people in this quote unquote relationship was to cheat
as quickly as possible and meet up at a bar
and probably go to some hotel, which is completely opposite
of what the song is about, you know, making love
at midnight on the dune's the cape. That's not exactly
you know you're gonna They're gonna go to Motel six.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
That's what I'm gonna do. I love it.
Speaker 7 (28:40):
Though I love it, I can see and correct me
or not correct me, but tell me if you disagree.
This has Will Ferrell written all over it.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Oh absolutely, yeah, absolutely, I could see him and possibly
like Jennifer Aniston, yeah, being that call and they're both
sitting in bed on their phones, refusing to talk to
each other, staring offrom the space and they're basically signing
up for Ashley Batison. Now, the question is would they
(29:16):
do it in a contemporary sense or would they actually
take it back like a retro piece.
Speaker 7 (29:21):
It's got to be set in the seventies. I need
to see retro. I need to see them taking out
an ad. I need to see the paper. I need
to see this whole song play out.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
I need.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
Yeah shot carpet Evan. Absolutely, I could see Will Ferrell
eating this up. It's just so disrespectful where you start
out the supposed love song.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
You know, I was tired of my lady.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
I was tired of my lady.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
So disrespectful, but it works for a movie though.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
It works, and I didn't really understand it, and obviously
until I got older, because the song I think came
out in seventy nine, so maybe ten years old, nineteen
years old. And then you realize, wow, he's trying to
do her dirty. And the really unbelievable part of the
song is they were both trying to do each other dirty.
And then they end up meeting because they responded to
(30:16):
each other's ad and they supposedly had a laugh about it.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
No, they didn't. No, they didn't.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Well, it's unfaithfulness and humiliation. There's nothing funny, right, and
they don't stay together.
Speaker 8 (30:28):
I would that's probably, I mean, besides the fact that
this actually could make a really cool movie, funny movie.
But how the ending would play out?
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Would it play out like the song or would it
be someone had to have been pissed off at the
other person.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
How dare you try to cheat on me with me?
How you sent it at you wrote it at?
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Well, just because I wrote an ad doesn't mean that you're
supposed to write an ad too, Because clearly the guy
was trying to cheat on his girl first, and it
turned out that she was already.
Speaker 7 (31:04):
Because he went on and responded to an ad. I
thought I thought he was putting an ad out there
in response.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
To I thought he I thought he was tired of
his old lady to look look at look back to lyrics,
and then he because he was tired of her, he
put out an ad.
Speaker 7 (31:21):
Know I'm saying he put out an ad, but when
they when when they met together, I thought it was
Later on the song, it says that he responded to
an ad saying, hey, I think she yeah, right, yeah,
because yeah, she said, I like Penia Klaidae, but was
already looking bro Well, yeah, in the personal columns was
a letter I read, so he was seeking out to
(31:44):
Alla's right.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
I think she was actually the first one to do it.
Speaker 7 (31:47):
But yes, no, no, no, yes, yes boos in the
personal columns, So yeah, he saw the thing saying, uh
that there was the Penia Kalada.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Yes, that dirty.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Look.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Yeah, she was real slick. She was real slick.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Now you're trying to do me dirty. I was already
doing you dirty. We make the assumption that she responded
to his not so.
Speaker 7 (32:17):
While she lay there sleeping, I read the paper in bed,
and in the personal columns there was this letter.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
I read.
Speaker 7 (32:29):
He's reading a letter about someone who wants this.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Mind blown, I said.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
The bottom line is that it's a song about two
irredeemably terrible people. But in the song they end up
having a laugh and staying together. What I believe is
that they stayed together.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
They deserve each other. In hell, it's a Jean Paul
Searcher thing.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
But they would never look if you're tired of your
old lady, just because you end up meeting her at
the bar as she was trying to cheat on you
with someone else.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
That doesn't mean that you're going to have a laugh
and just say, oh my goodness.
Speaker 7 (32:59):
Looking to me, he is saying the letter said, if you,
sir like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain,
and then he shows up, it's like, yeah, I like
penia clause and getting caught in the rain on the
trip to.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
The clinic, go see the doctor. Oh, I was tired of.
How do you walk yourself back from that? I was
tired of, my lady. I mean, it's been known to
happen in history. I'm just saying that doesn't have a
happy ending. I mean it's blatantly it's blatantly disrespectful. I
think they're both looking for a happy end. Since you
(33:35):
bring it up, Oh, give it to him. I don't
need your charity. No, no, no, I just want to
let you know who's in charge.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Whose is it? I was tired of my lead?
Speaker 3 (33:53):
Is it time yet? It's way past? If I am

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Claudine's good to see you.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Let's get into unfortunately these winter blues.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Oh, it's good to be seen Mo.
Speaker 5 (00:59):
And you did text me earlier and say the weather
is acting up. If I don't want to drive, you know,
we could catch up next week. However, you notice I
said I will not be deterred.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
By a little weather.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
Yes, okay, So that brings me to the seasonal depression,
which a lot of people do experience. It's shorter days,
it's colder, you're kind of in the house.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
A little bit more.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
Here's the thing with working out as my job, I
really don't have a choice. I can't just call forty
people and say, hey, guys, you know it's chilly out here,
you know it's raining.
Speaker 6 (01:42):
I'm not gonna make it.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
It doesn't work like that.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
So I think my job kind of forces me to
go into a very I don't want to say joyful,
but a communal space. And one of the things that
I think can contribute to seasonal depression is the isolation
of being in the house watching your shows and not
(02:06):
connecting with a lot of people.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
I really do believe in the power of community.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
When we Because I'm one who will binge watch a
show in my downtime and all of a sudden I've
lost three or four hours in a given day, let's
say it's a Saturday or a Sunday, I am less
inclined to then work out, of course, and it may
not be mood related, it may not be winter blues,
(02:32):
but all the external stimuli or saying sit down on
a couch.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
Sure, I'll tell you Saturday afternoon, Sunday afternoon in the gym,
those are the low times. And so if that's kind
of a time when people are at home chilling, watching
their shows and all of that, I suggest doing some
movement in front of the TV. You don't have to
go into the gym. I do believe there is power
(03:01):
in being around people. It does engage us and energize
us in ways that being at home. I mean, how
many times have you said, yeah, I'm gonna do it.
I'm gonna do my workout from home, and then you're
at home.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I well, is that the phone right? Yeah? Oh lit
in time, it's time for dinner. But when I say
the winter blues, that is a real thing. It's one
thing to call it the winter blues, but they do
call it seasonal effective disorder. Yes, and some of the
symptoms include reduced desire to do things like exercise and socialize.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Okay, okay, now this is the thing. I'm not telling
everybody to join a gym. Although last week we did
talk about New Year's resolutions, and I will say this, mo,
I have seen a decline in the attendance this week.
So oh oh, so the people who were gung ho
January first week in January, da da da da da.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
It's tapering off a little bit right now.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
So when it's like National quick.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Day, I think they say it's like a couple weeks
into January.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Okay, I'm seeing it.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
Really, this week has been the first week that things
have really kind of slowed down in the gym.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
I think it's a variety of things, and sometimes maybe
I get too much of my own head. But since
it is winter, since it is colder, since we've had
the longest January in the history of my of you know, forever, one.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Hundred and twenty days of January, it felt like there's
something else that I'm remembering.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
In the winter, I'm more inclined to start thinking about
people who were no longer here. My father passed in March,
my mother's mother passed in the month of March. So
you get these annual reminders which may slow you down
in many ways.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Is that unusual.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
I don't know if you know this or not, but
what brought me to exercise was my grief journey, and
that was something that.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Took me down.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Literally, same thing lost a few people back to back.
You know how they say it comes in threes, Well,
it hit me in threes, and I was in high
school at the time, and I just I couldn't get
out the bed, and I'm like, I know, I can't
be this tired, right, And exhaustion or fatigue is one
(05:22):
example of depression. And so once my mom kind of
noticed because I lived with my dad at the time,
and my mom noticed that, I was like, yeah, I'm
just too tired, Dad, I don't want to get up.
My mom was like, I think you should see someone.
She knew I had gone through a lot of grief
and loss at that time, and so when I talked
to the counselor, she basically just looked at.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Me and said, you're young.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
You are energetic aside from what you're going through right now,
because I was in sports and stuff. I did cheer,
you know, and she was like, dedicate sixty minutes a
day to moving your body and let's see, let's check
in and see how you feel. At first, being the
teenager that I was who knows everything, I was like.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
I'm not doing that. That sounds crazy.
Speaker 6 (06:09):
All oh, I can't picture that. A teenager who knows everything.
They make those but saying that to say, I was like,
I'm not doing that. That's that's silly advice.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
And keep in mind, wellness was not trending like it
is today that we're talking about nineteen ninety two at
this time, and.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
It felt like yesterday.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
But it wasn't, as my kids would say, the nineteen.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Hundreds the last century.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Way back in the nineteen hundreds.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
I say that to say, eventually I got sick and
tired of being sick and tired and I popped a
video into the VCR and I didn't like the aerobics instructor,
but I did like the workout, so I turned her
down and I turned up my own music. And at
the time, I was obsessed with West Coast Rap. It
(06:59):
had just started kind of really catching on, and so
I was listening to NWA, I was listening to ice Cube,
I was listening to Too Short, and I was doing
my workouts and it was to the video. But that's
kind of how I got into working out, and that's
still my style of instructed.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
I'd like to have some sort of distracting element to
workout so I don't have to really think about what
I'm doing.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
And it could be.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Marching in front of my TV, it could be dancing
to music in headphones. But yes, I try to sneak in.
It's almost like putting a little sugar on top of
the medicine.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
And you and I we love music, and I think
there's a lot of people who would find that music
and movement together do have an element of healing. And
if you are grieving, to anyone who's listening, number one,
I feel you, and I know how hard it can
be to get up. But number two, if you move
(08:03):
your body and pair it with music, you will feel better.
And trust me on this from experience.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
She's Claudin Cooper. We'll have more with her our nice
exercise lady in just a moment. You can find out
more about her at Claudinecooper dot com.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
We'll be right back.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI Am six four.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Days Later with mo Kelly with Claudinecooper. Go to Claudinecooper
dot com. You can see all that she does in
the community specifically. In fact, she might have a free
community workout coming up weather for me.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Yeah, yah, drum roll.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
We've taken a couple months off just to, you know,
kind of get through football season because, as many people know,
I live and work in Inglewood, California, whiches the entertainment,
sports and entertainment.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I don't know how you do it.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
I don't live in Inglewood, but I live Inglewood adjacent
and a day in which you might I have to
check my calendar. Okay, there's something going on it, into it,
there's something going on it, so FI, there's something going out.
The Kia form and YouTube theater, and every once a
while there'll be something going on at all of them
on a given.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Day, and that's a fact.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
And then when those days happen, we have insane traffic.
But for the most part at this point, because I
work and live in the entertainment area, I just walk,
you know, in front.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Of the other must be nice. I just walk to
work today.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Yes, it is nice.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
And anybody who lives in LA knows that that is
like a big luxury to be able to be that
close and have no commute.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Yeah it is.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
It sounds like you're almost like you're taunting me with
that while.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
You drive to Burbank from Inglewood adjacent. Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Yeah no.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
And I will say this, I've had commutes and I've
not had commutes, and I will trade, like I'll take
a pay cut to have less of a commute type
of thing.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
You know that it's a quality of life thing.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Actually, I mean I could get back three or four
hours of my day just by not commuting.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Oh, I love KA if I don't think otherwise.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
I'm just saying, you know, you love your job.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
I'm just saying that if I took out the commute aspect,
I get back at least three hours of my day.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
You know, that's one of the things that I feel like,
even though the traffic is tough in Englewood, I do
look forward to having a walkable neighborhood, not just for
the sports or for my job, but restaurants and things
to see and things to do. So I lived in
New York City when I was a younger woman, and
(10:47):
I truly miss being able to walk everywhere.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
You know, talk about health and wellness.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
When I went to Italy and also Korea, these are
societies largely predicated on walking. You walk everywhere, and I
noticed I saw nobody who was obese, not a single person.
After a while, I was conscious of it, and then
you realize, gosh, we're walking five and six miles a day. Yes,
(11:16):
it's vacation, but for people. When I was in Italy,
it's a way of life. When I was in Korea,
it was a way of life. You walked everywhere.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
And you know, walking is still one of the best
ways to move our bodies and to stay youthful in
how we move because walking is what we're designed to do.
The sedentary lifestyle, the sitting in the car or the
sitting at the computer or the binge watching. And let's
(11:46):
just be clear, I do binge watch too, you know,
but I don't have a tremo. I do like to
recommend putting out a mat on the floor for fact
flexibility and stretching while you're watching. You don't have to
necessarily do a workout, but we can improve our flexibility
(12:10):
by just doing some stretches in front of the TV.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
That's what I try to do because I don't like stretching.
If because if I'm doing dynamic stretching, in other words,
trying to increase my flexibility, it's painful, it's uncomfortable, and
I would rather take my mind away by just watching TV.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
And all of a sudden, I've been stretching for a
good forty minutes.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Oh that's amazing.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
And honestly, the older we get, the less flexible we become.
And I mean that myndrand, body and soul and so
to stay flexible is going to require some kind of
work and that goes for mind, body and soul. Like
I recently decided that I was going to start reading
(12:52):
more books again.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
I love to read.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Do you read, moll I read, but not for the
type of enjoyment reading because I'm always having to read
the news. I don't do a lot of books. I'll
do audiobooks because I'm always rip racing and running. That's
the truth, you know.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
And I wanted to carve out some time that was
screen free, so I'm not doing it on a kindle.
I'm literally opening a book and turning a page and
reading so that I can take some time to exercise
my mind. And I do feel like the brain also
needs a workout.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Have you noticed more and more.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
People being diagnosed with dementia and Alzheimer's.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Absolutely, and that's why I try to keep my brain very,
very active.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
So what are some ways that you exercise your brain?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Quizes Teasers, Yeah, trivia where I'm forced to recall things
and be able to summon information very quickly, because that's
a large part of my job. I may I have
to always stay in my train of thought, and it's
very fatiguing over the course of a three hour show.
I can't lose my train of thought. It happens on
(14:04):
very very rare occasions. But part of exercising that brain
muscle is always pushing it in different ways.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
So I'm only with you for about you know, fifteen
twenty minutes right. I find it difficult to stay on track,
and in fact, I've said to you before, like, oh
I did it, I stayed on track, I came back right.
It is a skill and it does exercise your brain.
(14:32):
I have a couple more tips that your listeners might
like for exercising their brain as well. One of the
ways that I exercise my brain is by not using
my GPS to get somewhere, to really have to recall
the name of a street, or was I here before?
Did I take a right? And I even told Tuala
out there. I'm so proud of myself now because I
(14:55):
can get to this station from where I live with
no GP. And my daughters are always like, so just
turn the GPS on for traffic, mom, because we can
go a different way if there's traffic. And I say,
I just a lot enough time that if I hit traffic,
I'll be all right.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
I wonder what kids or young adults would do without
GPS today. I know they can't use a Thomas guy,
so I mean, I just I wonder how they would function.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
My so, my younger daughter recently, she went somewhere and
she didn't use her GPS, and she said, you know, mom,
I like not using my GPS. I like knowing how
to get somewhere. It actually is one of those things
that when we have our brain activated, we recognize it too.
Even my daughter, who's, you know, a teenager, She's like, hmmm,
(15:50):
I like that. And so I feel like that's one way.
Another way is also recalling a memory. Right, you spoke
a little bit about that, But maybe get together with
a friend and say, do you remember when we were
on spring break in blah blah blah and see if
you guys kind of remember it similarly. So those are
(16:10):
just a couple of ways that I use to, you know,
exercise my brain.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
You bring up a great point, and we're almost out
of time, but it's a great point where as you age,
some memories fade yes, and some memories are triggered by
just keeping active and stimulating your mind. And when I
do listen to music in the car, I may listen
to eighties and seventies music because it brings back the
flood of memories and feelings and emotions that hadn't had
(16:38):
in many years. But music is the closest thing we
have to a time machine and you remember exactly what
you fad, how you felt, who you were dating, and
just like that. So I use that as an active
measure to keep my mind, you know, limber as it were.
Speaker 5 (16:52):

Speaker 2 (17:13):

To the Farmer's Market because I usually park over there
going to your workout, but I've never had a chance
to check it out.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
But I hear great things about.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
Oh so many nice farmers who just bring in the
freshest fruits, vegetables, desserts.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
I always get in trouble when I go.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
I see I'm trying to cut back and there you
are just dangle it in front of it.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
No, I can't can't eat all those desserts.

My b Claudiecooper dot com Claude always good to see

Speaker 4 (18:12):
You against so see you too. Thank you for having me.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
It's Later with Mo Kelly CAFI AM six forty live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Sunday is the super Bowl. Yes, I can call it
the super Bowl. We're not trying to sell anything. I
don't have to call it the Big Game. It's the
super Bowl. Sunday is the Super Bowl. And let's say,
for example, or hypothetically, that a friend of yours called
you at the last minute said hey, I need you
to get down here. I have an extra ticket for
(18:47):
you to go to see the Super Bowl between the
Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs. That means you
you would be going to New Orleans. It's in New
Orleans at the Super Bowl Dome. And right now now,
if you decided to get up a flight, and let's
say you had to book your own hotel because it's
only a ticket to the game, and I'm promising you
(19:08):
a place to stay. Check this out. American Airlines a
round trip coach ticket. Let's say you're leaving out on Saturday,
come back on Monday, get in the day before the game,
come back to day after the game.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Round trip coach starts at one eight hundred and ninety
two dollars coach. If you want to pay for first.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Class seven eight hundred and fifty seven dollars. We're only
going two time zones. You're going from Los Angeles to
New Orleans. I didn't say you're going to I don't know,
a Madagascar. J Yeah, you're not going to South Africa,
not acrossing three continents or something. You're going from he
(20:00):
to New Orleans. Eight thousand dollars for a first class ticket.
Almost two thousand dollars on American Airlines for a coach ticket.
And that's the base. I mean, if you get like
a business class. Obviously it's more than that, but the
round trip start at eighteen hundred dollars. Okay, let's say Mark,
(20:21):
you know, he he spots me the money for the flight,
and I'm really appreciative.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
It's already science fiction. Right now.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
I got to get my hotel room, and as of
today today, if I wanted to stay at the Legacy
B and B Suites, which is the New Orleans Central
Business District, four thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
A night a night.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
No, you're not going to be spending that much time
in any hotel room, even if you were spending that
much time in a hotel room with a self employed model. Okay,
it's not worth four thousand dollars a night for four
thousand dollar night, I should have the self employed model.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Never mind, let me not say that on the radio.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
The Lafayette, New Orleans is thirty eight hundred and twenty
four dollars per night, so you can get out in
two days for about eight seven hundred and ninety six
dollars after taxes and fees are included. If you want
to now, listen to this the best Western plus Saint
Christopher Hotel. Anything that says Best Western should be discount right,
(21:30):
right if you call it best Western, if you call
it courtyard, that's not top of the line, the best
Western in the New Orleans Central Business District three thousand,
two hundred and fifty one dollars a night. I would
rather sleep in my car. Noh, what do they think
(21:51):
this is comic con? Well, we were just talking about
price gouging and how you know how that's illegal. Holiday
Inn Express Okay, we all know that's that's bargain basement, right,
Holiday Inn Express hit the basement. Yeah, you are one
step above Motel six, one step above thirteen hundred dollars
(22:14):
per night, per night. Seriously, I would drive my suv
or rent an suv from the airport and sleep in
the suv and then walk into like a Denny's and
do you know a hotspots bath in the bathroom. Just
hit the hot spots for one thousand dollars a night.
(22:38):
I'm not going to New Orleans to see the Super Bowl.
I was just talking to Clauding Cooper, who was on
last segment, and she was rubbing it in my face
that she had actually been to two Super Bowls, And
I said, I don't see a scenario in which I
will ever go to a super Bowl unless unless it
is in LA because I don't have to pay all
(22:59):
the the cost for the for the flight. You just
walk there, right, I could literally just walk there and
someone's going to provide the ticket, like their corporate tickets everywhere.
Like someone has a like a five seventy and they
had tickets for their skybox and they said, mo, you know,
we won't really want you there.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Then I would go to.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
The super Bowl, and if it's at Sofi Stadium, I
would go. But outside of that, I don't see a
scenario if only because there's nothing. I mean, yeah, I
guess you want to be able to say I was there.
But as far as watching the game itself, it's better
at home. It's got to be better at home. The
food is better at home, it's closer, there's no line
(23:43):
for the bathroom. It's cheaper, but just damn sure.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Cheaper, you know.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
And I'm I would put my setup against any stadium
skybox setup. I've been in a skybox. It's just a
leather seat. You're far away from the action. They got
a light, you got some nice big string TVs in
in the suite. But it's not better than what you
have at home, not bigger than your eighty incher. That's
(24:10):
all right, baby, that's right. What's my name? Say my name?
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Not everyone has one of those.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Say my name?
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Whose is it? Whose is it?
Speaker 3 (24:19):
It's Later with mo Kelly KFI AM six forty, We're
Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. And there is this
song which is being turned into a movie. If you
are old enough to know the song, Escape the penut
Colada song. If you like Peter ducking Lotas, they're turning
that into a rom com. We'll tell you about that
(24:42):
when we come back.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from KFI.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
AM six forty kf I AM six forty. This Later
with mo Kelly, We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
And that is Rupert Holmes's classic song idled Escape the
Peni Colada Song. And it's going to be turned into
a movie, specifically a rom com.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Who's going to be in it? Too early to tell.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
They have not written the movie yet, but they're out
looking for writers to pen a script. And Rupert Holmes
is a part of the production crew putting this movie
together and I got to say, if you're not familiar
with the song, you have to look up the words
because it has to be arguably the most disrespectful song
(25:36):
ever and it is perfect to turn into a movie.
Any song which starts with I was tired of my lady.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Well, at least they didn't say old lady.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Look, it might as well have been that I was
tired of my lady. We'd been together too long, Like
a worn out recording of a favorite song. This is
not a love story. Oh it's dark. It's very dark,
and let's be honest about what it is he's talking about.
In a nineteen seventy sense going on Ashley Madison. He's
(26:14):
putting out there that I am looking to cheat on
my woman. I'm tired of my lady, so I'm going
to put out this want ad in the paper. And
I know if you're under the age of thirty five,
it's like, what's the want ad? Okay, it's in a
personal session. You could you know, you could before they
had dating sites. You could put a man seeking woman
thirty five Da da da da dah. You put out
(26:34):
an actual ad. This guy is putting out an ad
so he can cheat on his woman.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Long story short.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
If you know the song, his woman is doing the
exact same thing, and they end up in their tips
to cheat on each other. They end up responding to
each other's ad, and they meet up at the end.
But if you read the lyrics to the song, I mean,
I've known the song for many years. But if you
really sit down with the lyrics, you realize that this
(27:03):
guy is an a hole. If you're not into yoga,
if you have half a brain, if you like making
love at midnight, okay, so you like having sex at night.
Who what's special about that? I really narrows it down,
doesn't it right in the dunes on the cape? Then
I'm the love that you've looked for. Write to me
(27:25):
and escape. The second verse goes like this, I didn't
think about my lady. I know that sounds kind of mean,
but me and my old lady had fallen into the
same old, dull routine. So I wrote to the paper,
took out a personal ad, and though I'm nobody's poet,
(27:45):
I thought it wasn't half bad.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
He thinks very highly of himself and no short to
do self regard.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
There.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Yes, I like penicoladas and getting caught in the rain.
You know, I'm not much into hell food. I am
into Champagne. I've got to meet you tomorrow borrow by
noon and cut through all this red tape at a
bar called O'Malley's, where we'll plan our escape. They've already
mapped out where they're gonna meet. You know, they gotta
cut through the red tape. In other words, you're gonna
(28:12):
hurry up and get down to the good stuff and
hit it.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
The intention of both of.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
These people in this quote unquote relationship was to cheat
as quickly as possible and meet up at a bar
and probably go to some hotel, which is completely opposite
of what the song is about, you know, making love
at midnight on the dune's the cape. That's not exactly
you know you're gonna They're gonna go to Motel six.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
That's what I'm gonna do. I love it.
Speaker 7 (28:40):
Though I love it, I can see and correct me
or not correct me, but tell me if you disagree.
This has Will Ferrell written all over it.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Oh absolutely, yeah, absolutely, I could see him and possibly
like Jennifer Aniston, yeah, being that call and they're both
sitting in bed on their phones, refusing to talk to
each other, staring offrom the space and they're basically signing
up for Ashley Batison. Now, the question is would they
(29:16):
do it in a contemporary sense or would they actually
take it back like a retro piece.
Speaker 7 (29:21):
It's got to be set in the seventies. I need
to see retro. I need to see them taking out
an ad. I need to see the paper. I need
to see this whole song play out.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
I need.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
Yeah shot carpet Evan. Absolutely, I could see Will Ferrell
eating this up. It's just so disrespectful where you start
out the supposed love song.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
You know, I was tired of my lady.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
I was tired of my lady.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
So disrespectful, but it works for a movie though.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
It works, and I didn't really understand it, and obviously
until I got older, because the song I think came
out in seventy nine, so maybe ten years old, nineteen
years old. And then you realize, wow, he's trying to
do her dirty. And the really unbelievable part of the
song is they were both trying to do each other dirty.
And then they end up meeting because they responded to
(30:16):
each other's ad and they supposedly had a laugh about it.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
No, they didn't. No, they didn't.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Well, it's unfaithfulness and humiliation. There's nothing funny, right, and
they don't stay together.
Speaker 8 (30:28):
I would that's probably, I mean, besides the fact that
this actually could make a really cool movie, funny movie.
But how the ending would play out?
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Would it play out like the song or would it
be someone had to have been pissed off at the
other person.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
How dare you try to cheat on me with me?
How you sent it at you wrote it at?
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Well, just because I wrote an ad doesn't mean that you're
supposed to write an ad too, Because clearly the guy
was trying to cheat on his girl first, and it
turned out that she was already.
Speaker 7 (31:04):
Because he went on and responded to an ad. I
thought I thought he was putting an ad out there
in response.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
To I thought he I thought he was tired of
his old lady to look look at look back to lyrics,
and then he because he was tired of her, he
put out an ad.
Speaker 7 (31:21):
Know I'm saying he put out an ad, but when
they when when they met together, I thought it was
Later on the song, it says that he responded to
an ad saying, hey, I think she yeah, right, yeah,
because yeah, she said, I like Penia Klaidae, but was
already looking bro Well, yeah, in the personal columns was
a letter I read, so he was seeking out to
(31:44):
Alla's right.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
I think she was actually the first one to do it.
Speaker 7 (31:47):
But yes, no, no, no, yes, yes boos in the
personal columns, So yeah, he saw the thing saying, uh
that there was the Penia Kalada.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Yes, that dirty.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Look.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Yeah, she was real slick. She was real slick.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Now you're trying to do me dirty. I was already
doing you dirty. We make the assumption that she responded
to his not so.
Speaker 7 (32:17):
While she lay there sleeping, I read the paper in bed,
and in the personal columns there was this letter.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
I read.
Speaker 7 (32:29):
He's reading a letter about someone who wants this.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Mind blown, I said.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
The bottom line is that it's a song about two
irredeemably terrible people. But in the song they end up
having a laugh and staying together. What I believe is
that they stayed together.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
They deserve each other. In hell, it's a Jean Paul
Searcher thing.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
But they would never look if you're tired of your
old lady, just because you end up meeting her at
the bar as she was trying to cheat on you
with someone else.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
That doesn't mean that you're going to have a laugh
and just say, oh my goodness.
Speaker 7 (32:59):
Looking to me, he is saying the letter said, if you,
sir like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain,
and then he shows up, it's like, yeah, I like
penia clause and getting caught in the rain on the
trip to.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
The clinic, go see the doctor. Oh, I was tired of.
How do you walk yourself back from that? I was
tired of, my lady. I mean, it's been known to
happen in history. I'm just saying that doesn't have a
happy ending. I mean it's blatantly it's blatantly disrespectful. I
think they're both looking for a happy end. Since you
(33:35):
bring it up, Oh, give it to him. I don't
need your charity. No, no, no, I just want to
let you know who's in charge.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Whose is it? I was tired of my lead?
Speaker 3 (33:53):
Is it time yet? It's way past? If I am
six forty, it's the viral load? How appropriate when we
come back. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
