Speaker 1 (00:22):
It's later with Mokeli can If I am six forty,
we live on YouTube and the iHeartRadio app. And if
you've been following the news as closely as I am,
you were on edge because the Diddy verdict was supposed
to come down today. In fact, it was reported that
the jury had reached a verdict on four of five
(00:43):
counts in the Diddy trial, with the one looming count
having to do with racketeering arguably the biggest charge, the
most important charge, the one that could send Diddy away
to prison for decades. And Twalla and I were talking
about this, What can we glean, what should we expect?
Speaker 2 (01:03):
What does it mean possibly for Diddy?
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Well, number one, I think we are going to get
a verdict tomorrow as in Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I think we will.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
We will find out the fate of Didty by tomorrow. Also,
it says to me that if they got a verdict
this quickly, there's a degree of unanimity about how they
feel about this case.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
It's possible, not probable.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
It's possible that the other four verdicts are all guilty.
It's possible, and there's an argument to be made for that.
I guess it's less likely that they would be all
not guilty, because if they thought the four lesser charges
were not guilty, it's kind of hard to argue that
they would be hung up on the most serious charge
(01:50):
considering guilt.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
But you don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Sometimes when you try to prognosticate what a jury's going
to do, you end up being wrong. But if I
were to make a guilt, yes, I think that Diddy
is going to do some time.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
And I didn't think that at the beginning.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
From the progression of the case, it seemed to me
that the prosecution was not meeting its burden. And short
of hearing the verdict, short of hearing what the jurors
thought about the prosecution's case, it's hard to really know.
Because they are now in their second full day of deliberations.
They've been sent home for today, but tomorrow. If I
(02:28):
were to make any prediction, most likely the jury's going
to come back with this verdict. Why because I could
look at the calendar. I know that the fourth of
July weekend is coming up, and I know that nobody,
regardless of the city, regardless of the circumstances, wants to
be dealing with this either right into the holiday or
(02:48):
even after the holiday. You know, the court may be closed,
but it doesn't mean that someone wants to come back
to this after the holiday. And we know they're eighty
percent done if we take them after word for the
five counts. They have four or five verdicts in so
I think they're gonna end it probably tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Tamala first, good evening. Where do you come out on this?
Speaker 3 (03:09):
I look, I absolutely agree, knowing how how long these
people have been in together and how much strife they've
had within the jury pool, they're not trying to hang
out through a holiday weekend. I'm surprised we didn't get
the verdict today, but hey, tomorrow will be the drop
(03:30):
down deadline. We will probably have it in the morning.
As soon as they resume. They'll probably have come to
you know, agreement pretty early. For me, the fact that
they came so soon after going into deliberations with four
off the top and the only one that they're hung
up on is the most harshest of all the charges.
(03:54):
Racketeering I'm thinking sex trafficking and all of the other
and crossing state lines, all those different things. Yes, those
are ones that they probably said, well, I mean, yeah,
you did do that. So okay, so we got you
on those, But racketeering, that's a little harder.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
That's harder to say.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Is he a criminal mastermind or is he a victim
of hip hop culture and the industry and all the
things that, believe it or not, Damn near everyone in
the music industry is responsible for or have done so.
To me, this is one of those like, are you
singling Dinny out for a reason? Who knows he's the
one that's on trial on trial?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
And yeah, I thought racketeering was always going to be
the heaviest lift. And from what I was hearing as
far as the commentary on what was said during the
trial witness testimony, we weren't reading it word for word
from beta. We were getting reports on the testimony. I
would have loved to have been able to see it,
but with federal cases, there are no cameras in the courtroom,
(04:55):
so we're trying to figure out the important parts of
people's testemony. A lot of times we go off of
what was reported as part of the testimony.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
We don't get to see the fullness of the testimony.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
We don't get to see the facial expressions of the jury,
we don't get to see if the judges is irked,
if there is an objection, or if there's some sort
of subtle indication where the court is leaning, where the
jurors are leaning. We didn't get any of that, So
we're trying to go off just crumbs here, clues there.
(05:27):
And for me, the racketeering was going to be the
heaviest lift. And when I pulled back and I just
look at a big picture and I recount the different
witnesses who gave testimony, it seems like it was a
racketeering enterprise, criminal enterprise of one. You didn't hear about
any lieutenants per se. You didn't hear about this mastermind
(05:49):
organization that Dinny was the head of. It just seemed
like Diddy was doing his own thing at hoc, making
his own decisions, doing whatever was beneficial to him or
whatever he wanted to give an instance, did he want
to have a freak off, did he want to have
this male escorre joint? You know, it just seemed like
whatever his whims were at the moment, not to any
(06:12):
criminal end in the sense of an organization. This guy
is worth leading into this trial. Estimating like four hundred
and fifty million dollars. He could have hired some people,
he had personal security, he had people who were close
to him. But as far as the administration of this
supposed criminal conspiracy, I don't remember really hearing of anyone
(06:34):
who was instrumental in making sure all of this happened.
If I were a jur with this limited information, yes,
I'm not seeing all the trial. It just seems like
Diddy was just doing stuff as he went, not necessarily
trying to do something on the level of a criminal organization.
(06:56):
Now I know that's not an element of a crime,
but I suspect in the mind of jurors, we all
have this idea of racketeering.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Where are you going with this?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Mo, Well, some of the juror notes today had to
do with one juror who seemingly was of the opinion
that the charges meant one thing and they weren't following
the jury read instructions by the judge. Possibly jury nullification,
meaning the juror could be freelancing and just taking it
(07:28):
as he or she sees it, not how it's being
presented to him or her, as far as the instructions
given to the jury. In other words, if that juror
sees it like I do and just says, well, this
doesn't seem like a criminal enterprise or doesn't seem like
it reaches the level of racketeering, then yeah, you might
have a mistrial on that fifth count, you may have
(07:50):
a hung jury. And I don't know how that plays out.
As far as the other four verdicts. I think they'll
accept the first four. But you know that seems like
that's the hang up at this point where there's one
one sticking point which is keeping all of this from
coming to an end.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I mean, when you look at the definition of what
sex trafficking is in this case, I can definitely see
where the case can be made. We know how those
things go within the music industry. But if you're to
say that Diddy and Is associates for are somehow they've
(08:26):
come together to create this record label as a front
for an organization that traffics in in in women and
men and this that's a that's a stretch. This is
everything that you have connected to him doing anything regarding
into this is connected to parties, it's not connected.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
He's not Heidi Flights. It's not money making venture. From
all we know, he's like he's just throwing. He's paying money.
He's the one spending the money. He's not earning any
money off of it. No one is saying, hey, Diddy,
we need for you to provide the entertainment for this
event that we've got going on. Fly in some of
your bad boy girls. No, he's having a bad boy party.
(09:07):
It's a bunch of baby oil. It's a freak off allegedly,
and this is what's going down. But that's that's not racketeering. Yeah,
or at least not in our concept. And it may
not translate to this jury top to bottom because you
need all twelve. Yeah, okay, not good enough to have
lev need all twelve. We'll have more on this just
a moment. It's Later with Mo Kelly caf IM six
(09:28):
forty life everywhere in the iHeartRadio app and on YouTube
and Facebook.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
Mark Tompson Filding in for John coblt. And tomorrow on
the show The Dust Settles on the Diddy Trial, we'll
talk all about what the jury decides here on KFI.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
He's not wrong, He's not wrong. I am six forty one.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Later with mo Kelly Live Everywhere, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, iHeartRadio app.
You heard the problem from Mark Thompson, my brother.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
He's not wrong.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
We're all going to be talking about this because in
terms of entertainment and news their intersection, it's one of
the biggest stories in the world. There the charges, there's
the trial, then the verdict, and then the whole world
will be weighing in on whether they think the verdict
is just unjust, insufficient, overkill, favoritism by way of celebrity,
(10:36):
or was her target because of his celebrity, and we'll
have that conversation. We don't know exactly how all of
this is going to shake out, if and only because
the verdict is not in now. We know, as I
said last segment, that the jury has reached verdict on
four of the five counts. From what we know, they
(10:57):
are the lesser importance counts in all of this. The
big one, racketeering is still looming out there, and that
could be the difference between I'm estimating between Diddy just
doing maybe ten years and Diddy doing maybe thirty thirty
five years. There's a lot at stake here. There's a lot,
and if Diddy, if there's something else that no one
(11:20):
else has really talked about, at least on talk radio,
and Twalla and I were talking about it because we
understand this from a music industry standpoint. Diddy has two sons,
one biological one he's stepfather, and they have been implicated
along the way.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
They have taken part in these freak offs.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
They have taken part in Dinny's enterprises and all of
his other businesses. They were some of the people who
were detained when diddy houses were searched and the subpoenas
were sent out. They also are in legal jeopardy as well.
(12:02):
And if the government doesn't get their pound of flesh
from Ditty, it doesn't mean that the story's over.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
It just means that Ditty will be able to go
on with his life.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
It doesn't mean that his sons are not also possibly
in some kind of trouble, because those are other people
who've been questioned. Those are other people who have not
been indicted but could very well be indicted on some
of these other accounts of sex trafficking or sexual abuse,
sexual assault. There are other ways in which Diddy can
(12:35):
be touched, as they say, in a legal sense, we
don't know if this is going to be the end
of the story, just because it might be the end
of the case with Sean Ditty Combs, And as Tula
was talking about last segment, what is happening with Ditty
or what Diddy is alleged to have done was what
we call Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
In the music business.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Everything that Ditty has been alleged to who have done,
I can name five or six other people of comparable
stature economically and also celebrity who probably engage in similar things.
For as much as we talk about how much of
a of a of a of a devil did he
(13:18):
is or how horrible a person did he is, Diddy
is one of many that I've dealt with. Didny is
not special in that regard, And that's what I think
has been lost in all this. Yes, Diddy was one
of the few to have been charged, but if you
think about the people that Diddy was on the same
(13:38):
level with during the height of his fame, and I
don't want to call out names because I'm not trying
to directly implicate them, but let me just say someone
like sug Knight, who I worked with, who is presently
in jail right now for murder.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Sug knows some stuff. Sug has done some.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Stuff Didty's not special, let me put it that way,
And there are other people who are just as not
special as Diddy. Does this mean that we may learn
more about other people? I don't know, but I do
know that there are other people who are very concerned
that the spotlight may be put on him or hurt
or them.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
And we don't know who Diddy may or may not implicate,
if he has offered any type of deal, if there's
anything that says, hey, Diddy, we know that you are
just one of many players in this game who carries
on like this. Give us some names, and maybe we'll
(14:38):
take it easier on you.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
We don't know. We don't know what happens when the
pressure is on.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
You know, everyone can say I'll stand ten toes deep
and do my time.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Give it to me, I eat it up like breath.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
No, when you're about to face that time, all of
a sudden, you start thinking, well, well, well there was
that one time that so and so invited me to
his own freak golf.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Doesn't even have to be that.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
It could be as simple as remember they seized all
of Ditty's tapes. Some of those tapes were shown at
the trial. We as lay individuals don't know what is
on the totality of those tapes.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Who else is implicated?
Speaker 1 (15:17):
You know Diddy And to your point, well, Diddy can say, well,
so and so and so and so we're also at
the party and did this. And they also have their
little thing that they do as well, and they could
use that as a bargaining chip if and when sentencing
may come around. It's one thing to be sentenced for this,
it doesn't mean that it's automatically going to lead to
a certain level of sentencing. You know, he can work
(15:38):
with the government, he could if it comes down to it.
I don't know if just because this case ends with Ditty,
that everything connected to Ditty also goes away. I don't
necessarily believe that, because all of those tapes could have
very levels of illegal behavior, illegal sexual behavior, legal drug
(16:00):
use behavior any I don't want to even imagine what
could be on the tapes because I know the stories
that have been told which may also be on those tapes.
So we can't say, because the trial may be over tomorrow,
we may get a verdict tomorrow that everything connected to
Ditty will be over and something else. I also remember
(16:22):
about being on a federal grand jury. The government could
be investigating other people connected to Ditty right now, and
we would not know. The only time you're going to
know that there is an investigation going on is if
there is a grand jury convened and that grand jury
delivers a true bill, which leads to an indictment. There
(16:45):
are times in which they will investigate, they'll convene a
grand jury, they do not get a true bill, and
the general public has never made aware because they tell
us and our jury instructions that the last thing they
want to do is besmirch someone's.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Characters, be hate a character or their image.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
So they're not going to just put it out there, Oh, yes,
we're investigating so and so.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
They don't say that.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
They just go ahead and investigate so and so, and
then they'll convene a grand jury, and if it's accusatory
or investigatory, then they follows that path, and if there
is an indictment returned, then you will hear about it,
and not before. I suspect that because of all this,
(17:28):
I'll call an orgy of evidence pun intended that has
come out of this particular case. The video tapes, the
witness testimony, the people who, let's say, were reticent to testify,
but they're aware of them through the investigation. Don't think
that the federal government got everyone they wanted to come forward.
(17:51):
I'm quite sure they asked this person in that person
and someone said, no, I'm not coming forward.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I am not going to testify.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
I'm not going on record, not going to put my
name out there because I don't want the backlash because
did he make it off.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Let's not forget.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Okay, okay, on that line right there, on that note
right there, And I don't say this. I'm not targeting
President Trump or anything because President Trump he seems to
favor rappers.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
I don't know why he likes rappers. He's a big fan.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
You know.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
It's Snoop came Mountain and perform at his Nelly Nelly everyone.
He has pardoned the likes of Lil Wayne, who received
a full presidential pardon for federal weapons charges. A rapper
by the name Kodak Black had his sentence commuted for
federal firearm charges. Just recently, an NBA young boy was
(18:47):
also granted by a pardon by Trump. And guess that
we've had on Michael Harry O. Harris. Yes, So I wonder,
because I know that Diddy and Trump are familiar, that
they've hung in the same circles. Do you think that
this is something that's on Trump's radar as far as
(19:09):
you know what I will pardon?
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Did I know for a fact, because I know for
a fact that it has been reported publicly that Diddy's
people have already reached out to the Trump administration to
see if there could be any consideration of a pardon.
So I already know that is a play for Diddy,
and that has nothing to do with what happens with
the verdict. If the verdict comes down that he's guilty
on all accounts, and then the next day President Trump says,
(19:34):
I hereby pardon thee just like Eric Adams in New York.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
It goes away, It's like it never happened, and life
moves on. And that's another consideration for any would be witness.
If you turn state's evidence for you know, if you
turn for the state and you dime on Diddy and
he either he's acquitted or he's pardoned, And remind you,
(19:58):
this is the same guy during this trial was alleged
to a blown up hit Cutty's car and other things
of a very violent nature. I know that a lot
of people who just didn't come forward because there's a
fear of reprisal and repercussions. So yeah, there, I don't
think the story is over. That's the point. The case
(20:18):
may come to an end tomorrow. The story of Diddy
is not. It's Later with mo Kelly, caf I Am
six forty. We're live on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Kf I Am six forty. It's Later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
We're live on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and the iHeartRadio app.
And usually we have some fun with seven eleven, but
this is not one of those times. This is just
a very very sad story. But it's a local story
and it is worth mentioning. You might have heard Mark
Ronner detail some of it in one of his recent
news breaks about how a seven to eleven worker was
(21:11):
taken off life support and died officially after a store
manager allegedly attacked her. And this was happening on June
twenty fourth and Round two fifteen according to LAPD, when
officers from the Wilshire Division responded to a call about
a felony battery at seven eleven on Melrose Avenue, and
(21:32):
police said an altercation happened between a female victim and
female suspect employee and manager, respectively, who got into a
verbal argument that turned physical. Officers arrived to find a
woman in her twenties unconscious on the floor with critical injuries.
She was rushed to a hospital, but police say the
suspect had fled the scene before authorities arrived. No arrests
(21:55):
were made or had been made as of at least yesterday.
Let me just stop right there, and I think all
of us, and I mean all of us, I'm being serious,
all of us have been in a situation where we
have had a workplace disagreement. And I think it's fair
to say, mark agree or disagree with me, that we've
(22:16):
all been in a workplace situation which is turned hostile
and could have turned physical.
Speaker 6 (22:24):
I will say that I believe I've shown great restraint
during my.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Career, right right, and I've I felt it, huh.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
And there are times, and I want to be too specific,
this was a previous employer where I physically had to
walk out of the building and walk around the block
so I did not end up in prison or jail
two hours later after what I was going to do.
Speaker 6 (22:49):
Yeah, people used to note how intense my kickboxing workouts were,
and I pointed out that it saved a lot of
editors' lives.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Oh, you know, you said it with a hint of humor,
But I'm the exact saying where I get so frustrated,
I'd have to go to Hotketo and just leave it
all on the mat where I'm just exhausted so I
don't have that negative energy and take it back to
work with me.
Speaker 6 (23:14):
Yeah, there are some heavy bags that have absorbed a
great deal of punishment meant for editors.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Yeah, Tuala, I can't speak for you, but I know
you can talk about some stuff.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
There have been more than a few occasions where I
think the Lord that Calm, somehow, some way entered my
mind before I put actual hands on an individual, because
I've come very very close. I've come right next to
(23:45):
hands being on somebody who decided to test me in
the wrong way. We may never know what actually was
the impetus for this disagreement, which turned violent which turned deadly.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
And it's less about it being seven to eleven. And
I think it's something that all of us have dealt
with in a workplace because most workplaces are high stress environment.
You have a lot asked of you, and you have
these relationships with people who aren't your friends for the
most part. For the most part, and depending on the
(24:23):
float chart and the hierarchy, you have people who have
power over you. You may be a subordinate. They may
talk to you a certain way, which is crazy. They
may ask you to do things which are unfair, and
it builds up, it builds up, And I've walked away
from a lot of situations. Sometimes I just straight up quick,
(24:45):
you know, And that was the easiest way out as
opposed to remaining in that situation.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
I don't know who's in fault in a sense of
who started it.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
I usually air on the side of the employee being
in the right, if only because they don't have any
power in the situation.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Yeah, there's not a lot of there's not a lot
of room for growth at a seven eleven. If you're
at a seven eleven, you are thankful to have a
job at best. And I can imagine a situation where
where this could have been either an argument about a
raise and argue about who knows what. It's unfortunate that
(25:23):
we only will now have the word of the attacker
in this individual who was fled, who was still on
the run, because you know, unfortunately they had to make
that heart wrenching decision to end this this young lady's life.
And I can imagine my son or my daughter going
(25:46):
to work and thinking, you know, even if it's standing
up for yourself, you know, even if it was they were,
this young lady was harassed and that was it, and
the standing up for themselves young lady lost her life.
Speaker 6 (25:58):
Didn't either of you seen this story. Whether this alleged
assailant was a male or female, it's supposed to say
they're both females from what I understands, okay, because that
wasn't in my information, and if it had not been
a female, obviously that would have added another element to
the story.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Yeah, if I'm not reading it incorrectly, both female, and
we know that seven to eleven. They do have video cameras.
I don't know if they have audio. I don't know
if this is something which started in the back office
and then came out to the main floor. We don't
know that, and I think part of that is intentional
as far as the investigation is concerned. We're not being
(26:35):
told everything. It's a terrible situation, but I understand the
pressures of certain workplaces, and I understand. Look, let's be honest,
hasn't everyone at some point thought about violence in just
a hypothetical sense in the workplace.
Speaker 6 (26:56):
I'd be shocked to find anybody who hadn't. That's all
I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
That you would actually go through with it and hit
your boss or something like that.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
But the frustration connected to it.
Speaker 6 (27:06):
Well, also, there are certain occupations where the stress and
the conflict tend to be hired, and I'm guessing seven
eleven might be one of those.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Well, that's where seven eleven does come in, because if
you're working at seven to eleven, you have all sorts
of dangers that you have to worry about on a
given day to day basis saying nothing of just being
a young woman in that situation. From the homeless people,
because I know that area fifty seven hundred block of Melrose,
(27:36):
it's not the best area, okay, And you can have
the homeless any type of vagrant, just be getting robbed,
all those things you have to be concerned with on
a day to day basis with a seven eleven. And
then if you have a I would say, a poor
relationship with your boss. Don't know where the blame lies,
(27:58):
but it shouldn't have led to this order and unfortunately
led to this.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
And I think about all the times that I just.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Thank goodness I didn't make that decision, even though at
the time I'm thinking, fic.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Yeah, why not make that decision? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Yeah, And I just chose to quit as opposed to
taking that one step further. It's Later with mo Kelly
kf I AM six forty Live Everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
When we come back, we're going to go to sea
World and see how they're changing their whole presentation and
it may change the way you even view them or
hear them.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Will explain it just a moment.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
With Kelly.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Live Everywhere in the iHeartRadio App.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
I don't know I'd the SeaWorld maybe once in my
life that it was more than ten years ago. More
than ten years ago. Stephan Have you been to Sea
World same? I think one time when I was a
little kid. Yeah, you have a vague reference point. Mark
has never been because he wasn't in this part of
the world. I don't think no SeaWorld knows zoos. I
do not like that stuff. SeaWorld and I need not
(29:21):
tell you SeaWorld has gone through a very difficult period
ever since the Blackfish documentary. SeaWorld had to change everything
they which they presented themselves as as far as attractions,
as far as performance as it events, and they've reinvented
themselves in a way where they've incorporated.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Live music performances.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
What rap music has to do with fish, I have
no idea, none whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
But going viral right now? There are all these.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Clips and I can't really play them because I'm scared
that since it's going to be custing in them and
that doesn't sound good on the air. But the Yin
Yang Twins were a huge hit performing back on the
twenty eighth of June at Sea World, and you think, like,
who the Ying Yang Twins?
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Haven't you heard Salt Shaker who.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
All I'm saying is let your mind go where you
want with that It is very, very, very vulgar. So
to think of an amusement park because SeaWorld is still
at its foundation and amusement park and you pair them
with the Yin Yang Twins and other hip hop groups.
I just don't get it. But it's working. It's actually working.
(30:36):
This made sea World go viral. They have other serious
Oh no, no, no, I'm being very serious. We're showing some
of the videos right now on the YouTube page. Yes,
they're all over. It is a huge hit. They have
other hip hop groups performing this summer, from Soldier Boy,
Bow Wow, Fat Joe, Trina, Waka flocka Flame. I can't
(30:57):
say that fast and genuine. All are going to be
hitting the stage between now and August twenty third.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
It is a thing. So and what it has to
do with SeaWorld, I have no idea.
Speaker 6 (31:09):
They're like trying to turn it into like SeaWorld up
up in the clurb, but a clurb.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
But people are coming to SeaWorld.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Bottom line, if they're only coming to see the hip
hop groups, if they're only coming to shake the ass
and hang out, SeaWorld doesn't mind. The ticket prices are
still the ticket prices, and whether you get to see
some sort of other attraction at the park. I guess
they don't care, but it's an actual thing. SeaWorld has
reinvented itself. Go to our YouTube channel. Right now, Daniel
(31:38):
is showing the video. You're seeing throngs and throngs of
people gyrating, undulating, twerking, doing all.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
The movements of all the songs.
Speaker 6 (31:51):
If you didn't tell me that that was SeaWorld, that
looks like a day club in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
It looks like a day club in Vegas at the pool, Yeah,
because they're right around the water and it's it's a
hip hop concert. I just want to know who is
a person who went into the marketing meeting and said, hey, guys,
I got this idea. I know ticket sales has been slow,
why don't we bring in some hip hop groups and
turn it into a summer concert series? And by golly
(32:14):
is actually working. It has packed out. If you look
at the video, there are thousands of people specifically there
in there what used to be I guess the Killer
Whale Tank.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Just there for the concert. Now.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
I don't know what other offerings are there or what
other other concerts or events they're planned there.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
But if your SeaWorld.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
A lot of people is a lot of people, and
they're all paying the same money. Now, is it going
to make me go to SeaWorld? Hell no, I have
no interest in that. But if you happen to be
twenty years younger than me, then why not. I wonder
what's going to be next, because you still, at its
heart you have an amusement park in theory, in theory
(32:59):
for younger attendees.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
In theories, or at.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Least when you think of sea World, you're thinking of
family fun. I think that's more accurate. Family fun, fun.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
For the whole family, all.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Ages from five to fifty five. This is not for
five year olds. This is not for fifteen year olds.
You know, when they talk about from the window to
the wall to the they're roll down my No, that's
not for kids. That's not for kids. I mean, and
it gets gonna be very explicit. I don't know if
they actually do all the explicit lyrics, but I would
(33:32):
have to wonder if they've changed the act because the
songs themselves, they still mean the same thing. When they
talk about shake it like AsSalt shaker, they're not talking
about a dorsal fin. Okay, well, it's dorsal, but it's
not a fin put it that way.
Speaker 6 (33:50):
That was pretty good. I gotta say you didn't get
the pepper grinder thing. Oh no, I got it, Okay,
I just didn't want to go further down that road.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
All right, just check it can if I am six forty,
we are live everywhere in the heart radio app
Speaker 4 (34:01):
Ks I and k os t h D two, Los Angeles,
Orange County more stimulating talk
It's later with Mokeli can If I am six forty,
we live on YouTube and the iHeartRadio app. And if
you've been following the news as closely as I am,
you were on edge because the Diddy verdict was supposed
to come down today. In fact, it was reported that
the jury had reached a verdict on four of five
(00:43):
counts in the Diddy trial, with the one looming count
having to do with racketeering arguably the biggest charge, the
most important charge, the one that could send Diddy away
to prison for decades. And Twalla and I were talking
about this, What can we glean, what should we expect?
Speaker 2 (01:03):
What does it mean possibly for Diddy?
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Well, number one, I think we are going to get
a verdict tomorrow as in Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I think we will.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
We will find out the fate of Didty by tomorrow. Also,
it says to me that if they got a verdict
this quickly, there's a degree of unanimity about how they
feel about this case.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
It's possible, not probable.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
It's possible that the other four verdicts are all guilty.
It's possible, and there's an argument to be made for that.
I guess it's less likely that they would be all
not guilty, because if they thought the four lesser charges
were not guilty, it's kind of hard to argue that
they would be hung up on the most serious charge
(01:50):
considering guilt.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
But you don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Sometimes when you try to prognosticate what a jury's going
to do, you end up being wrong. But if I
were to make a guilt, yes, I think that Diddy
is going to do some time.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
And I didn't think that at the beginning.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
From the progression of the case, it seemed to me
that the prosecution was not meeting its burden. And short
of hearing the verdict, short of hearing what the jurors
thought about the prosecution's case, it's hard to really know.
Because they are now in their second full day of deliberations.
They've been sent home for today, but tomorrow. If I
(02:28):
were to make any prediction, most likely the jury's going
to come back with this verdict. Why because I could
look at the calendar. I know that the fourth of
July weekend is coming up, and I know that nobody,
regardless of the city, regardless of the circumstances, wants to
be dealing with this either right into the holiday or
(02:48):
even after the holiday. You know, the court may be closed,
but it doesn't mean that someone wants to come back
to this after the holiday. And we know they're eighty
percent done if we take them after word for the
five counts. They have four or five verdicts in so
I think they're gonna end it probably tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Tamala first, good evening. Where do you come out on this?
Speaker 3 (03:09):
I look, I absolutely agree, knowing how how long these
people have been in together and how much strife they've
had within the jury pool, they're not trying to hang
out through a holiday weekend. I'm surprised we didn't get
the verdict today, but hey, tomorrow will be the drop
(03:30):
down deadline. We will probably have it in the morning.
As soon as they resume. They'll probably have come to
you know, agreement pretty early. For me, the fact that
they came so soon after going into deliberations with four
off the top and the only one that they're hung
up on is the most harshest of all the charges.
(03:54):
Racketeering I'm thinking sex trafficking and all of the other
and crossing state lines, all those different things. Yes, those
are ones that they probably said, well, I mean, yeah,
you did do that. So okay, so we got you
on those, But racketeering, that's a little harder.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
That's harder to say.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Is he a criminal mastermind or is he a victim
of hip hop culture and the industry and all the
things that, believe it or not, Damn near everyone in
the music industry is responsible for or have done so.
To me, this is one of those like, are you
singling Dinny out for a reason? Who knows he's the
one that's on trial on trial?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
And yeah, I thought racketeering was always going to be
the heaviest lift. And from what I was hearing as
far as the commentary on what was said during the
trial witness testimony, we weren't reading it word for word
from beta. We were getting reports on the testimony. I
would have loved to have been able to see it,
but with federal cases, there are no cameras in the courtroom,
(04:55):
so we're trying to figure out the important parts of
people's testemony. A lot of times we go off of
what was reported as part of the testimony.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
We don't get to see the fullness of the testimony.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
We don't get to see the facial expressions of the jury,
we don't get to see if the judges is irked,
if there is an objection, or if there's some sort
of subtle indication where the court is leaning, where the
jurors are leaning. We didn't get any of that, So
we're trying to go off just crumbs here, clues there.
(05:27):
And for me, the racketeering was going to be the
heaviest lift. And when I pulled back and I just
look at a big picture and I recount the different
witnesses who gave testimony, it seems like it was a
racketeering enterprise, criminal enterprise of one. You didn't hear about
any lieutenants per se. You didn't hear about this mastermind
(05:49):
organization that Dinny was the head of. It just seemed
like Diddy was doing his own thing at hoc, making
his own decisions, doing whatever was beneficial to him or
whatever he wanted to give an instance, did he want
to have a freak off, did he want to have
this male escorre joint? You know, it just seemed like
whatever his whims were at the moment, not to any
(06:12):
criminal end in the sense of an organization. This guy
is worth leading into this trial. Estimating like four hundred
and fifty million dollars. He could have hired some people,
he had personal security, he had people who were close
to him. But as far as the administration of this
supposed criminal conspiracy, I don't remember really hearing of anyone
(06:34):
who was instrumental in making sure all of this happened.
If I were a jur with this limited information, yes,
I'm not seeing all the trial. It just seems like
Diddy was just doing stuff as he went, not necessarily
trying to do something on the level of a criminal organization.
(06:56):
Now I know that's not an element of a crime,
but I suspect in the mind of jurors, we all
have this idea of racketeering.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Where are you going with this?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Mo, Well, some of the juror notes today had to
do with one juror who seemingly was of the opinion
that the charges meant one thing and they weren't following
the jury read instructions by the judge. Possibly jury nullification,
meaning the juror could be freelancing and just taking it
(07:28):
as he or she sees it, not how it's being
presented to him or her, as far as the instructions
given to the jury. In other words, if that juror
sees it like I do and just says, well, this
doesn't seem like a criminal enterprise or doesn't seem like
it reaches the level of racketeering, then yeah, you might
have a mistrial on that fifth count, you may have
(07:50):
a hung jury. And I don't know how that plays out.
As far as the other four verdicts. I think they'll
accept the first four. But you know that seems like
that's the hang up at this point where there's one
one sticking point which is keeping all of this from
coming to an end.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I mean, when you look at the definition of what
sex trafficking is in this case, I can definitely see
where the case can be made. We know how those
things go within the music industry. But if you're to
say that Diddy and Is associates for are somehow they've
(08:26):
come together to create this record label as a front
for an organization that traffics in in in women and
men and this that's a that's a stretch. This is
everything that you have connected to him doing anything regarding
into this is connected to parties, it's not connected.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
He's not Heidi Flights. It's not money making venture. From
all we know, he's like he's just throwing. He's paying money.
He's the one spending the money. He's not earning any
money off of it. No one is saying, hey, Diddy,
we need for you to provide the entertainment for this
event that we've got going on. Fly in some of
your bad boy girls. No, he's having a bad boy party.
(09:07):
It's a bunch of baby oil. It's a freak off allegedly,
and this is what's going down. But that's that's not racketeering. Yeah,
or at least not in our concept. And it may
not translate to this jury top to bottom because you
need all twelve. Yeah, okay, not good enough to have
lev need all twelve. We'll have more on this just
a moment. It's Later with Mo Kelly caf IM six
(09:28):
forty life everywhere in the iHeartRadio app and on YouTube
and Facebook.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
Mark Tompson Filding in for John coblt. And tomorrow on
the show The Dust Settles on the Diddy Trial, we'll
talk all about what the jury decides here on KFI.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
He's not wrong, He's not wrong. I am six forty one.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Later with mo Kelly Live Everywhere, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, iHeartRadio app.
You heard the problem from Mark Thompson, my brother.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
He's not wrong.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
We're all going to be talking about this because in
terms of entertainment and news their intersection, it's one of
the biggest stories in the world. There the charges, there's
the trial, then the verdict, and then the whole world
will be weighing in on whether they think the verdict
is just unjust, insufficient, overkill, favoritism by way of celebrity,
(10:36):
or was her target because of his celebrity, and we'll
have that conversation. We don't know exactly how all of
this is going to shake out, if and only because
the verdict is not in now. We know, as I
said last segment, that the jury has reached verdict on
four of the five counts. From what we know, they
(10:57):
are the lesser importance counts in all of this. The
big one, racketeering is still looming out there, and that
could be the difference between I'm estimating between Diddy just
doing maybe ten years and Diddy doing maybe thirty thirty
five years. There's a lot at stake here. There's a lot,
and if Diddy, if there's something else that no one
(11:20):
else has really talked about, at least on talk radio,
and Twalla and I were talking about it because we
understand this from a music industry standpoint. Diddy has two sons,
one biological one he's stepfather, and they have been implicated
along the way.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
They have taken part in these freak offs.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
They have taken part in Dinny's enterprises and all of
his other businesses. They were some of the people who
were detained when diddy houses were searched and the subpoenas
were sent out. They also are in legal jeopardy as well.
(12:02):
And if the government doesn't get their pound of flesh
from Ditty, it doesn't mean that the story's over.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
It just means that Ditty will be able to go
on with his life.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
It doesn't mean that his sons are not also possibly
in some kind of trouble, because those are other people
who've been questioned. Those are other people who have not
been indicted but could very well be indicted on some
of these other accounts of sex trafficking or sexual abuse,
sexual assault. There are other ways in which Diddy can
(12:35):
be touched, as they say, in a legal sense, we
don't know if this is going to be the end
of the story, just because it might be the end
of the case with Sean Ditty Combs, And as Tula
was talking about last segment, what is happening with Ditty
or what Diddy is alleged to have done was what
we call Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
In the music business.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Everything that Ditty has been alleged to who have done,
I can name five or six other people of comparable
stature economically and also celebrity who probably engage in similar things.
For as much as we talk about how much of
a of a of a of a devil did he
(13:18):
is or how horrible a person did he is, Diddy
is one of many that I've dealt with. Didny is
not special in that regard, And that's what I think
has been lost in all this. Yes, Diddy was one
of the few to have been charged, but if you
think about the people that Diddy was on the same
(13:38):
level with during the height of his fame, and I
don't want to call out names because I'm not trying
to directly implicate them, but let me just say someone
like sug Knight, who I worked with, who is presently
in jail right now for murder.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Sug knows some stuff. Sug has done some.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Stuff Didty's not special, let me put it that way,
And there are other people who are just as not
special as Diddy. Does this mean that we may learn
more about other people? I don't know, but I do
know that there are other people who are very concerned
that the spotlight may be put on him or hurt
or them.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
And we don't know who Diddy may or may not implicate,
if he has offered any type of deal, if there's
anything that says, hey, Diddy, we know that you are
just one of many players in this game who carries
on like this. Give us some names, and maybe we'll
(14:38):
take it easier on you.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
We don't know. We don't know what happens when the
pressure is on.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
You know, everyone can say I'll stand ten toes deep
and do my time.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Give it to me, I eat it up like breath.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
No, when you're about to face that time, all of
a sudden, you start thinking, well, well, well there was
that one time that so and so invited me to
his own freak golf.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Doesn't even have to be that.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
It could be as simple as remember they seized all
of Ditty's tapes. Some of those tapes were shown at
the trial. We as lay individuals don't know what is
on the totality of those tapes.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Who else is implicated?
Speaker 1 (15:17):
You know Diddy And to your point, well, Diddy can say, well,
so and so and so and so we're also at
the party and did this. And they also have their
little thing that they do as well, and they could
use that as a bargaining chip if and when sentencing
may come around. It's one thing to be sentenced for this,
it doesn't mean that it's automatically going to lead to
a certain level of sentencing. You know, he can work
(15:38):
with the government, he could if it comes down to it.
I don't know if just because this case ends with Ditty,
that everything connected to Ditty also goes away. I don't
necessarily believe that, because all of those tapes could have
very levels of illegal behavior, illegal sexual behavior, legal drug
(16:00):
use behavior any I don't want to even imagine what
could be on the tapes because I know the stories
that have been told which may also be on those tapes.
So we can't say, because the trial may be over tomorrow,
we may get a verdict tomorrow that everything connected to
Ditty will be over and something else. I also remember
(16:22):
about being on a federal grand jury. The government could
be investigating other people connected to Ditty right now, and
we would not know. The only time you're going to
know that there is an investigation going on is if
there is a grand jury convened and that grand jury
delivers a true bill, which leads to an indictment. There
(16:45):
are times in which they will investigate, they'll convene a
grand jury, they do not get a true bill, and
the general public has never made aware because they tell
us and our jury instructions that the last thing they
want to do is besmirch someone's.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Characters, be hate a character or their image.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
So they're not going to just put it out there, Oh, yes,
we're investigating so and so.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
They don't say that.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
They just go ahead and investigate so and so, and
then they'll convene a grand jury, and if it's accusatory
or investigatory, then they follows that path, and if there
is an indictment returned, then you will hear about it,
and not before. I suspect that because of all this,
(17:28):
I'll call an orgy of evidence pun intended that has
come out of this particular case. The video tapes, the
witness testimony, the people who, let's say, were reticent to testify,
but they're aware of them through the investigation. Don't think
that the federal government got everyone they wanted to come forward.
(17:51):
I'm quite sure they asked this person in that person
and someone said, no, I'm not coming forward.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I am not going to testify.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
I'm not going on record, not going to put my
name out there because I don't want the backlash because
did he make it off.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Let's not forget.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Okay, okay, on that line right there, on that note
right there, And I don't say this. I'm not targeting
President Trump or anything because President Trump he seems to
favor rappers.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
I don't know why he likes rappers. He's a big fan.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
You know.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
It's Snoop came Mountain and perform at his Nelly Nelly everyone.
He has pardoned the likes of Lil Wayne, who received
a full presidential pardon for federal weapons charges. A rapper
by the name Kodak Black had his sentence commuted for
federal firearm charges. Just recently, an NBA young boy was
(18:47):
also granted by a pardon by Trump. And guess that
we've had on Michael Harry O. Harris. Yes, So I wonder,
because I know that Diddy and Trump are familiar, that
they've hung in the same circles. Do you think that
this is something that's on Trump's radar as far as
(19:09):
you know what I will pardon?
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Did I know for a fact, because I know for
a fact that it has been reported publicly that Diddy's
people have already reached out to the Trump administration to
see if there could be any consideration of a pardon.
So I already know that is a play for Diddy,
and that has nothing to do with what happens with
the verdict. If the verdict comes down that he's guilty
on all accounts, and then the next day President Trump says,
(19:34):
I hereby pardon thee just like Eric Adams in New York.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
It goes away, It's like it never happened, and life
moves on. And that's another consideration for any would be witness.
If you turn state's evidence for you know, if you
turn for the state and you dime on Diddy and
he either he's acquitted or he's pardoned, And remind you,
(19:58):
this is the same guy during this trial was alleged
to a blown up hit Cutty's car and other things
of a very violent nature. I know that a lot
of people who just didn't come forward because there's a
fear of reprisal and repercussions. So yeah, there, I don't
think the story is over. That's the point. The case
(20:18):
may come to an end tomorrow. The story of Diddy
is not. It's Later with mo Kelly, caf I Am

a very very sad story. But it's a local story
and it is worth mentioning. You might have heard Mark
Ronner detail some of it in one of his recent
news breaks about how a seven to eleven worker was
(21:11):
taken off life support and died officially after a store
manager allegedly attacked her. And this was happening on June
twenty fourth and Round two fifteen according to LAPD, when
officers from the Wilshire Division responded to a call about
a felony battery at seven eleven on Melrose Avenue, and
(21:32):
police said an altercation happened between a female victim and
female suspect employee and manager, respectively, who got into a
verbal argument that turned physical. Officers arrived to find a
woman in her twenties unconscious on the floor with critical injuries.
She was rushed to a hospital, but police say the
suspect had fled the scene before authorities arrived. No arrests
(21:55):
were made or had been made as of at least yesterday.
Let me just stop right there, and I think all
of us, and I mean all of us, I'm being serious,
all of us have been in a situation where we
have had a workplace disagreement. And I think it's fair
to say, mark agree or disagree with me, that we've
(22:16):
all been in a workplace situation which is turned hostile
and could have turned physical.
Speaker 6 (22:24):
I will say that I believe I've shown great restraint
during my.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Career, right right, and I've I felt it, huh.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
And there are times, and I want to be too specific,
this was a previous employer where I physically had to
walk out of the building and walk around the block
so I did not end up in prison or jail
two hours later after what I was going to do.
Speaker 6 (22:49):
Yeah, people used to note how intense my kickboxing workouts were,
and I pointed out that it saved a lot of
editors' lives.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Oh, you know, you said it with a hint of humor,
But I'm the exact saying where I get so frustrated,
I'd have to go to Hotketo and just leave it
all on the mat where I'm just exhausted so I
don't have that negative energy and take it back to
work with me.
Speaker 6 (23:14):
Yeah, there are some heavy bags that have absorbed a
great deal of punishment meant for editors.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Yeah, Tuala, I can't speak for you, but I know
you can talk about some stuff.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
There have been more than a few occasions where I
think the Lord that Calm, somehow, some way entered my
mind before I put actual hands on an individual, because
I've come very very close. I've come right next to
(23:45):
hands being on somebody who decided to test me in
the wrong way. We may never know what actually was
the impetus for this disagreement, which turned violent which turned deadly.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
And it's less about it being seven to eleven. And
I think it's something that all of us have dealt
with in a workplace because most workplaces are high stress environment.
You have a lot asked of you, and you have
these relationships with people who aren't your friends for the
most part. For the most part, and depending on the
(24:23):
float chart and the hierarchy, you have people who have
power over you. You may be a subordinate. They may
talk to you a certain way, which is crazy. They
may ask you to do things which are unfair, and
it builds up, it builds up, And I've walked away
from a lot of situations. Sometimes I just straight up quick,
(24:45):
you know, And that was the easiest way out as
opposed to remaining in that situation.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
I don't know who's in fault in a sense of
who started it.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
I usually air on the side of the employee being
in the right, if only because they don't have any
power in the situation.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Yeah, there's not a lot of there's not a lot
of room for growth at a seven eleven. If you're
at a seven eleven, you are thankful to have a
job at best. And I can imagine a situation where
where this could have been either an argument about a
raise and argue about who knows what. It's unfortunate that
(25:23):
we only will now have the word of the attacker
in this individual who was fled, who was still on
the run, because you know, unfortunately they had to make
that heart wrenching decision to end this this young lady's life.
And I can imagine my son or my daughter going
(25:46):
to work and thinking, you know, even if it's standing
up for yourself, you know, even if it was they were,
this young lady was harassed and that was it, and
the standing up for themselves young lady lost her life.
Speaker 6 (25:58):
Didn't either of you seen this story. Whether this alleged
assailant was a male or female, it's supposed to say
they're both females from what I understands, okay, because that
wasn't in my information, and if it had not been
a female, obviously that would have added another element to
the story.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Yeah, if I'm not reading it incorrectly, both female, and
we know that seven to eleven. They do have video cameras.
I don't know if they have audio. I don't know
if this is something which started in the back office
and then came out to the main floor. We don't
know that, and I think part of that is intentional
as far as the investigation is concerned. We're not being
(26:35):
told everything. It's a terrible situation, but I understand the
pressures of certain workplaces, and I understand. Look, let's be honest,
hasn't everyone at some point thought about violence in just
a hypothetical sense in the workplace.
Speaker 6 (26:56):
I'd be shocked to find anybody who hadn't. That's all
I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
That you would actually go through with it and hit
your boss or something like that.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
But the frustration connected to it.
Speaker 6 (27:06):
Well, also, there are certain occupations where the stress and
the conflict tend to be hired, and I'm guessing seven
eleven might be one of those.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Well, that's where seven eleven does come in, because if
you're working at seven to eleven, you have all sorts
of dangers that you have to worry about on a
given day to day basis saying nothing of just being
a young woman in that situation. From the homeless people,
because I know that area fifty seven hundred block of Melrose,
(27:36):
it's not the best area, okay, And you can have
the homeless any type of vagrant, just be getting robbed,
all those things you have to be concerned with on
a day to day basis with a seven eleven. And
then if you have a I would say, a poor
relationship with your boss. Don't know where the blame lies,
(27:58):
but it shouldn't have led to this order and unfortunately
led to this.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
And I think about all the times that I just.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Thank goodness I didn't make that decision, even though at
the time I'm thinking, fic.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Yeah, why not make that decision? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Yeah, And I just chose to quit as opposed to
taking that one step further. It's Later with mo Kelly
kf I AM six forty Live Everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
When we come back, we're going to go to sea
World and see how they're changing their whole presentation and
it may change the way you even view them or
hear them.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Will explain it just a moment.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (28:44):

Speaker 2 (28:56):
Live Everywhere in the iHeartRadio App.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
I don't know I'd the SeaWorld maybe once in my
life that it was more than ten years ago. More
than ten years ago. Stephan Have you been to Sea
World same? I think one time when I was a
little kid. Yeah, you have a vague reference point. Mark
has never been because he wasn't in this part of
the world. I don't think no SeaWorld knows zoos. I
do not like that stuff. SeaWorld and I need not
(29:21):
tell you SeaWorld has gone through a very difficult period
ever since the Blackfish documentary. SeaWorld had to change everything
they which they presented themselves as as far as attractions,
as far as performance as it events, and they've reinvented
themselves in a way where they've incorporated.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Live music performances.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
What rap music has to do with fish, I have
no idea, none whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
But going viral right now? There are all these.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Clips and I can't really play them because I'm scared
that since it's going to be custing in them and
that doesn't sound good on the air. But the Yin
Yang Twins were a huge hit performing back on the
twenty eighth of June at Sea World, and you think, like,
who the Ying Yang Twins?
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Haven't you heard Salt Shaker who.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
All I'm saying is let your mind go where you
want with that It is very, very, very vulgar. So
to think of an amusement park because SeaWorld is still
at its foundation and amusement park and you pair them
with the Yin Yang Twins and other hip hop groups.
I just don't get it. But it's working. It's actually working.
(30:36):
This made sea World go viral. They have other serious
Oh no, no, no, I'm being very serious. We're showing some
of the videos right now on the YouTube page. Yes,
they're all over. It is a huge hit. They have
other hip hop groups performing this summer, from Soldier Boy,
Bow Wow, Fat Joe, Trina, Waka flocka Flame. I can't
(30:57):
say that fast and genuine. All are going to be
hitting the stage between now and August twenty third.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
It is a thing. So and what it has to
do with SeaWorld, I have no idea.
Speaker 6 (31:09):
They're like trying to turn it into like SeaWorld up
up in the clurb, but a clurb.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
But people are coming to SeaWorld.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Bottom line, if they're only coming to see the hip
hop groups, if they're only coming to shake the ass
and hang out, SeaWorld doesn't mind. The ticket prices are
still the ticket prices, and whether you get to see
some sort of other attraction at the park. I guess
they don't care, but it's an actual thing. SeaWorld has
reinvented itself. Go to our YouTube channel. Right now, Daniel
(31:38):
is showing the video. You're seeing throngs and throngs of
people gyrating, undulating, twerking, doing all.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
The movements of all the songs.
Speaker 6 (31:51):
If you didn't tell me that that was SeaWorld, that
looks like a day club in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
It looks like a day club in Vegas at the pool, Yeah,
because they're right around the water and it's it's a
hip hop concert. I just want to know who is
a person who went into the marketing meeting and said, hey, guys,
I got this idea. I know ticket sales has been slow,
why don't we bring in some hip hop groups and
turn it into a summer concert series? And by golly
(32:14):
is actually working. It has packed out. If you look
at the video, there are thousands of people specifically there
in there what used to be I guess the Killer
Whale Tank.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Just there for the concert. Now.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
I don't know what other offerings are there or what
other other concerts or events they're planned there.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
But if your SeaWorld.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
A lot of people is a lot of people, and
they're all paying the same money. Now, is it going
to make me go to SeaWorld? Hell no, I have
no interest in that. But if you happen to be
twenty years younger than me, then why not. I wonder
what's going to be next, because you still, at its
heart you have an amusement park in theory, in theory
(32:59):
for younger attendees.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
In theories, or at.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Least when you think of sea World, you're thinking of
family fun. I think that's more accurate. Family fun, fun.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
For the whole family, all.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Ages from five to fifty five. This is not for
five year olds. This is not for fifteen year olds.
You know, when they talk about from the window to
the wall to the they're roll down my No, that's
not for kids. That's not for kids. I mean, and
it gets gonna be very explicit. I don't know if
they actually do all the explicit lyrics, but I would
(33:32):
have to wonder if they've changed the act because the
songs themselves, they still mean the same thing. When they
talk about shake it like AsSalt shaker, they're not talking
about a dorsal fin. Okay, well, it's dorsal, but it's
not a fin put it that way.
Speaker 6 (33:50):
That was pretty good. I gotta say you didn't get
the pepper grinder thing. Oh no, I got it, Okay,
I just didn't want to go further down that road.
