Speaker 1 (00:22):
It's Friday, Thank you lady with Mokelly Hey if I
am six forty. We're live everywhere on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook,
and the iHeartRadio app. It's Friday, Friday, Friday, thank goodness.
And yes we are playing name that movie called Classic.
We're playing for Alamo Draft House Cinema Passes for you
(00:42):
and someone you care about.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
There's so much we have to cover.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
We have to talk about what La Metro is doing
to update it's technology, believe it or not. And I
got into a long protracted conversation with why to walla
Shark did not come to the studio with any Krispy
Kreme donuts because today is the eighty eighth birthday of
Krispy Kreme and they're offering eighty eight cent donuts, and
(01:10):
I'm thinking, I love Krispy Krean, Stefan loves Krispy Kreme,
Mark kind of likes Krispy Krean. No, doesn't like Krispy Kreme.
I knew there was some trepidation there. No, I don't
eat that stuff. But he could make it up to
all of us by getting pizza. He could have done
something something, But he came to the studio empty handed
specifically no Krispy Kreme donuts, and I don't I feel
(01:32):
some kind of way about that?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
He too, I'll take Mark's donuts though. Okay, are you
going to go get some? I wish I could. What
do you mean just you don't do anything? Literally?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Why are you Uber eats and you're just sit here right?
I don't know what's happening for it?
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Are you saying there's nothing you can do to help
us get some krispy Kreme on this Friday krispy Kreme birthday?
Tawalaculd or maybe Carneicia could Carnasha's busy with the show.
And I came, oh, yeah, she's a passenger princess. Wait
who I sounded disrespectful?
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Self proclaimed that's yeah, princess.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Oh no, Daniel has a trans manion one.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I can't drop it.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
You can't drive a stick? Oh wow, I can't go.
Somebody needs to get some donuts. Christian Kreer, I think
they deliver. Can someone please investigate? I would love to
have a Krispy Kreme donut that I'm not supposed to eat.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Pretty please? Four?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Why you want to eat a donut? They just taste
so damn good. I will eat four out of a
dozen without even thinking. You can eat a box and
not even think about it because it's like.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Air, and I'm not supposed to eat them. I know that,
but I.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Damned oh we're talking about eat it and not think
about it. I'm thinking about it the entire time. I'm
passed out outside. Look, I had Eric ed garrig Is
from Wendy.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Wendy's was so nice to bring us a couple of
Krispy Kremes a few months ago. I ate at least four.
At least four. I have no business eating that. I shouldn't.
There's no good reason to. Well, you could wash it
down with a healthy pizza. No, I wash it down
with water, and you mock me for that. Yes, no,
we both drink water. I don't drink pop or anything
(03:17):
like that. Okay, well it was Tuala and Stefan. Yeah,
because I drink water. I definitely was heavy with the mockery.
Oh yeah, I was too. Well, that means you need
to make it up to me and go get some
Krispy Krean Dunnuts.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
It's not too water. I'm with Mark on this one.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
He doesn't eat Krispy Kreans, but I'll I'll use him.
I feel like we haven't gotten anywhere. Yeah, don't, don't
everyone you know stand up at once and volunteer to
go get some donuts. It's Friday, for God's sake, we
need sustenance. Please stop a week. I'll come back to
you in just a moment.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
You come back.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
And also we have to talk about the continuing fallout
regarding this Stephen coled Bear announcement.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Last night. I covered it last night.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
I told you about the reasoning given by Paramount And
now that more people are weighing in and we have
a better perspective of what this really looks like, we're
gonna drill down and then sift out the facts from
the fiction, because there are a lot of untruths being
spread out there. There are a lot of lies being
(04:24):
told as far as the reasoning behind this announcement, saying
it was purely financial, and if you look underneath the surface,
there's no good financial reason for Paramount Plus to make
this announcement at this time and in this way if
you're concerned about finances. But if you also do it,
(04:48):
you know, the same week that you're meeting with the
FCC to clear an eight billion dollar merger. Then say that,
say that, but we'll get into that next hour. And
of course name that movie cult classic to for Alamo
Drafthouse Cinema tickets. It's all about Superman there. Everyone's a
super person at Alamo Drafthouse Cinema and with the Man
(05:09):
of Steel has soaring back onto the big screen with
DC Studio Superman. Alamo Draftthouse Cinema has the limited time
pop up menu and exclusive merchandise to mark the occasion,
including Superman Supreme Pizza with Pepperoni, sausage, roasted mushrooms, peppers,
green olives, mozzarella, and Marinera on a thick crust. Notice
(05:31):
mark they didn't say anything about black olives. They said
green olives. That's implied. Everybody loves black olives. Smallville Hot
Chicken Wrap where fried Chicken meats Nashville Hot and Barbecue Ranch.
There's the Red Cape Margarita with Blanco Tequila Orange Liqueur.
And there's the Krypton Cooler, bright blue and potentially deadly
(05:53):
to Kryptonians. And the Kryptonite Cheesecake you Can't Go Wrong
also available, and we talked about these last night. Don't
forget to pick a limited edition Superman popcorn bucket while
supplies last. Those are a big deal and Twalla is
going to buy one. Sure, how much do you think
it is?
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Alamo is very very easy on the wallet. Alamo's not
like other theaters that are trying to take you for
the cost of four tickets and write and parking for
their one bucket for their buckets. Now, Alamo's more like,
come on, it's a bucket, it's a limited edition. We
know we're not trying to fleece you.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Remember when I said on Wednesday, Hey, coming up on
Thursday will be the good Trouble Lives On rallies and
protests all around the country, And I tried to let
you know what they were and what they weren't. Well,
I hate to say I'm right. Well, actually I like
saying I'm right. I just get tired of saying that
I'm right. It's hard to work being right all the time.
And I was right about the good Trouble Lives On protests.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Did you see the head line in the LA Daily Mail?
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Hundreds protesters, not thousands, not tens of thousands. It's supposed
to be like sixteen hundred events all around the country,
there were hundreds.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
I'm sorry, I don't mean to laugh. I'm sorry, Oh
I mean a laugh back, I mean a laugh.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
And I'll get into it next segment, because this is
what happens when you have merchandising masquerading as protests, when
you're trying to market protests as opposed to actually conducting
and inspiring people to speak out on behalf of an issue.
That's coming up next. It's Later with mo Kelly. Thank goodness,
(07:42):
it's Friday. We're live everywhere on Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I Later with mo Kelly Live on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram,
the iHeartRadio App. Come on and join us in the
video chat, the Motown Video Chat. Hang out with the Momigos.
So we talk about anything and everything. Something I talked
about on Wednesday previewing what was going to happen on Thursday,
(08:24):
The Good Trouble Lives on rallies and they fell flat.
They did not surprisingly, and I told you they probably
would not be well received, well attended, not all that effective.
And the point I was trying to make is there's
a difference between what protest is in the twenty first
(08:46):
century in twenty twenty five versus what it was in
the twentieth century in the Civil Rights movement and some
other protests and movements during the twentieth century. The problem
is today it's just a it's a marketing tools. Let's
be honest. There's money to be made in these protests.
(09:06):
A lot of people want to be slick and be
sarcastic and say no, no, no, they're funded by George Soros. No,
that's not it. They are tools to generate funds. It's
not to spend money. It's to get people who are
seemingly like minded to sign up, so they have your
information and they can sell that information just like any
(09:29):
other list. They can sell those lists to political candidates,
they can sell it to different organizations like Act Blue.
They can sell it to a number of individuals and organizations,
and they can monetize it. It's not about spending money,
but actually making money, because you cannot just announce there's
(09:51):
going to be a protest on Friday or Thursday or whatever.
It doesn't work that way. It works from the bottom up,
not top down. I know, remember what happened with the
No Kings protest that whole day of defiance, and it
was supposed to set off a whole slew of activities
and protests which you'll be coming up in the next
days and weeks and months. Not a damn thing happened afterward.
(10:14):
In fact, not a damn thing happened during it. It
changed nothing. It meant absolutely nothing, with the exception of
they got a lot of people's information and that will
be used during the election cycle. There was someone who benefited.
It just wasn't any of the protesters.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Someone got something out of it. It just wasn't the protesters.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
And that's why I try to keep hammering home this point.
Protesting is noble in and of itself. It has a place.
There is something that can be said for how it
can change things, how it can change the trajection of
trajectory of society. But just to say we're going to
protest doesn't mean much if you don't understand how you're
(10:58):
supposed to use it as effective tool.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Most people don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
And so another protest has come and gone and absolutely
nothing has changed.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Yes, I know you're mad.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I mad, everybody's mad, everyone's unhappy at the Trump administration.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
How dare Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Do this or how dare he say that I can't
stand them. We need to do something. We need to
have our voices or we need to rise up. We
need to make sure that we do this, that and
the other. And it's like, well, you missed your opportunity.
That bus has already left the station. That was called
election Day. That was when you're supposed to show up.
That was when you're supposed to actually protest. That was
(11:35):
when you're supposed to come out and flood the streets
and let your voice be heard by way of the
ballot box. Didn't you learn anything from twenty sixteen and
all the pink pea hats and all the demonstrations and
the protests after Donald Trump won his first election. I
remember that. I think, Twala you remember that. I know
(11:56):
Stephan remembers that. Maybe Mark Ronald remembers that, but I'm
pretty sure he does. They remember all the protests, We
remember how little impact they had. And I said, then
you missed your moment twenty sixteen because you didn't vote.
Then now Donald Trump is gonna do what he wants
in he elected now one, not two, but three Supreme
(12:17):
Court justices, and now we are seeing the effects of that.
Now we're seeing the legislative decisions impacted because of that,
because you missed your moment in twenty sixteen, and then
when he missed your moment in twenty twenty four. No,
you can't undo what has happened on the Supreme Court.
But since Donald Trump was re elected, you know, from
(12:39):
forty five to forty seven reelected, Now you have Donald
Trump doing whatever the hell he wants because he has
both chambers of Congress, he has the Supreme Court, and
there's not a damn thing you can do about it
because you missed your moment. If you would have taken
care of business in twenty sixteen, donald Trump is not elected,
he doesn't nominate three different Supreme Court justices. If he's
(13:04):
not elected in twenty twenty four, he's not doing what
he's doing right now.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
And having the benefit of.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
A Republican House, Republican Senate, and a six to three
majority on the Supreme Court. There's no amount of protesting
which is going to change a g dam thing, nothing,
not at all. And I think it, frankly, it's insulting
to say that you want to have a good trouble
lives on and steel a portion of the legacy of
(13:32):
the late Congressman John Lewis and say we are somehow
the benefactors of that, or the beneficiaries of that, we
are the descendants of that that you are somehow keeping
his legacy alive. No, no, no, John Lewis, if he
were here, he would have told you you need to
handle it then, because you may not get a second opportunity.
(13:54):
That was the power of the March on Washington. It
was about we have one chance to get this right chance.
Make sure the whole world is watching. Make sure that
then President Kennedy is watching, and so doctor King could
sit down with President Kennedy and hopefully move forward on
the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act. Unfortunately, sadly, tragically, terribly,
(14:17):
President Kennedy was assassinated and then it fell to the
shoulders of LBJ Lyndon Baines Johnson. You can see the
video right now of John Lewis at the March on
Washington on our YouTube channel.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
People wrongly want.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
To take the lessons of the civil rights movement and
use them now when they haven't even learned them, don't
even understand them. Don't fully even appreciate them. And now
you have people and I always say, T well, I've
meant to say this earlier.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Be careful who you let speak on your behalf.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
And I don't know who these people are who are
organized in the good Trumpel trouble lives on rallies across
southern California. But I think they have misappropriated or culturally
appropriated John Lewis's legacy and want to tell you and
me that what they're doing is somehow in the vein
of John Lewis, when it clearly is not.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Clearly.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
You had one hundred thirty five people out there across
southern California over six or seven different protests, and let
me be honest, there were no black.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
People out there.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Maybe two, there are two, there are three, okay, three
or four. But we saw unions out there, cius, We
saw everyone out there, even be on We saw ice,
ice everything with the ice. Yeah, And it was like,
is this just a bunch of different organizations that came
together missing the entire point of protests. Protests are not
(15:45):
about creating awareness. Protests are actually a call to action,
and with no actionable item, it is a waste of time,
awareness changes nothing.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Let me just ask. I'm just gonna go on the room,
pop quiz, Stefan. Do you know who the president is?
Speaker 2 (16:05):
I do?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Okay, Mark Ronald Do you know who the president is
right now? The president of what of the United States? Oh?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Oh yes I do?
Speaker 1 (16:11):
In fact, okay, uh, Carnasia, do you know who the
president is right now?
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Yes? Okay? Twalla Sharp, do you know who the president is? Yes? Okay.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
You're aware of what is going on in the world
in a general sense and his role, the president's roll
in it.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Yes, I think that's where to.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Say, right, okay, So the awareness portion doesn't have any
real impact. And now I think we're a nice cross
section of society. Everybody knows who the freaking president is.
Everyone knows like him or loathe him. He's a controversial person.
So all of us walk it out in the middle
of the street to let everyone know we're unhappy.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
We need to do something.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Changes nothing, It helps nothing, It inspires nothing. You should
have been at the polls. And I know this is California.
It's not like Donald Trump was gonna lose California. But
this is supposed to be a national event from coast
to coast. They planned six whoever they is, I have
no idea who they is. Sixteen hundred events between the
(17:15):
West Coast and the East coast from.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
See the Shining Sea.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Sixteen hundred events and none of them really well attended.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
What does that tell you?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
That means that this was created as a tool for
reasons having nothing to do with the actual people who
they say they're supposed to be helping organize and acting
on the behest of or on the behalf of that.
It's frustrating because I'm a kid of the Civil rights movement,
and I know the civil rights movement, and I don't
(17:47):
like people trying to misappropriate or just culturally bastardize the
legacy of luminaries of the civil rights movement. And when
you attach attach John Lewis his name, and you're saying
you're doing this in a memory of him, and you're
doing it in the spirit of him, and you're doing
it because you want certain types of change on Capitol Hills.
(18:08):
Like you idiots, you have no idea what you're doing,
and you're not going to accomplish this fake goal. And
here's the worst part that no one will ever tell
you about. You have further deluded and made even more
ineffective the next protests, the next time that you say
(18:31):
we all need to come together and walk in the
streets arm and arm and sing, we shall overcome kombay y'all,
because it's almost like crying wolf. You've done it so
many times. People have been anesthetized. People have been numb
to the idea of the immediacy or so called immediacy
(18:56):
of protest because you've treated it so cavalierly for the
purpose of marketing for political ends, having nothing to do
with the protest. It's later with Kelly Can. If I
am six forty, we are live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
We have an LA Metro update. They have new technology
(19:17):
or something. I don't know. Maybe everyone's gonna wear a
bulletproof vest or something like that, or anti shanking gear
or something. Maybe they could have like a bomb shelter,
anti shaky, yeah, anti shiv, anti shanking, you know, knife resistant,
so you will get today that look. They say they
(19:39):
have updated technology. We'll talk about what it is next.
They unnamed they the infamous. They some people say something
If I am six forty.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
I remember standing cross for me when smelly I remember
an old.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Man next to Metro KFI later with Moe Kelly live
on social media, video, podcast, video stream and also audio
on the iHeartRadio app. La Metro has new technology that
(20:36):
they're rolling out and they are celebrating. According to La Metro,
they have new technologies in payments, mapping and digital products
which are on the way and it says that it
adds service and ridership continues to rise. This is according
(20:57):
to La Metro. La Metro. Fernando Dutra, the new La
County Metropolitan Transit Authority board chair, says he aims to
quote deliver a safe and efficient world class transit service
clothes quote slow down there, slow down now. There's nothing
world class about La Metro. If you've ever been on
(21:17):
a subway in any other city in the United States,
if you've been on maybe the Tube in London, if
you've been on a subway in any other city in
the world, you would know that La Subway is not
world class. But he goes on, we're planning to deliver
a world class system for generations to come. He said
(21:38):
that Wednesday at Metro's annual State of the Agency gathering,
where officials typically reflect on accomplishments and lay out new initiatives.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
The new improvements include.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
You're a special tap card, where it's I thought they
already had the Tap card. I used a Tap card
years ago, and that touting that is somehow new and improved.
But they're saying tap to pay tech is becoming increasingly
common among US transit providers, intending to add convenience and
forego cumbersome e ticketing apps, vending machines, and cash. What
(22:11):
they're basically saying is you will not have the ability
to use cash for your cards going forward. Cities including Boston,
Las Vegas, and Sacramento have introduced tap to pay technologies.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
I guess you can use your credit card to fill
up your card and.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
You won't have to have that dollar scroll into the
machine anymore.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
They say they're also improving their digital tools.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Metro intends to introduce a quote, all in one app
for Everything Metro to keep you in the know about
when your bus or train is coming.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
No more scavenger hunts clothes. Quote, I got news for you.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
They had apps back when I was writing Metro, which
would tell you the next Metro bus, the next Metro train,
the location of the nearest Metro transfers five six years ago.
Now why Metro's own app didn't have that information and
third party apps did.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
I have no idea Why they're just now.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Trying to integrate that in the Metro app in twenty
twenty five. I have no freaking idea Why they're trying
to pass it off as something revolutionary or something otherworldly.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
But according to Metro, all of these upgrades are aimed
at setting up Metro for the city's upcoming big events,
you know, the World Cup next year and the twenty
twenty eight Summer Olympic Games. Nice of them to come
into this century in advance of the World Cup and
also the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
This is what they had to say.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
The President Metro had to say, quote, I am confident
we will meet this moment because, like the elite athletes
will be hosting, we've been training. Oh my gosh, who
wrote that, Mark? Did you write that for Metro? I'm
confident we will meet this moment because, like the elite
athletes we will be hosting, we've been training. Yeah, you
know that I'm renowned for my bureaucrates and double speak.
(24:15):
I never put things directly. It's ever horrible a knowledge you.
But hey, if that's the best you could come up with.
If you say that you've been training, I would say
you've been losing, you've been failing. You have not been competing.
You're not on the same field. You're not in the
same league as other cities or other subways or transportation systems.
(24:35):
Now they've been heralding the opening of the new lax
Slash Metro Transit Center, and they say it's a project
six decades in the making, additions to extended train lines
and the deployment of more bus priority lanes now on
more than seventy miles of streets. Have you noticed they
said nothing about safety, not a damn thing.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
I was thinking.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
I was thinking about you, because I was just like,
I wonder if you driven by the new billboards.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
They're like, the new Metro for l ex is open. Now,
I see it, I see it.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
You know.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
A lot of marketing, yep, and a lot of downplaying
of what has been the achilles heel of Metro, and
that has to do with safety or lack thereof. That.
That's that's the deal breaker. I don't care if you
have more trains. This is just me personally. I don't
care if you have more trains. I don't care if
you have new tap to pay technology. I don't care
(25:30):
if you have a new Lax Metro transit center. If
the likelihood of me getting stabbed is just as high
now as it was three.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Months ago, all that's out the window.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
I just want to know if it's safe enough for
me to entrust my loved ones. That's all I want,
because that's all the matter is. I had a real
conversation with my wife a couple of weeks ago. She
was saying, Hey, I want to try out this subway
line and see how close it gets me to the airport.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
That's right, Stephan, you know exactly what where I live.
I'm not far from the airport, very close, Okay.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
So it's something that we would reasonably conceive of using
if we're going out of town, like when we're going
out on our vacation next month, as opposed to driving
to the airport and having someone drive us. Could we
take the metro and safely get to the airport. This
is what my wife told me she against my wishes.
(26:24):
I said, please don't do this. This is this is an
actual true story. I said, I would feel better if
you didn't. She decided on a Sunday to take the
Metro and go to Lax. She said to me it
was not a good idea, and I felt unsafe. Aha, Wow,
she did it against my wish. This is a true story.
(26:47):
She has the nerve to defy you. So that was
her verbatim, verbatim. She throwing some other things because she
also said coming back what she just felt like. I
was very exposed and it's something were to happened to me.
I didn't have any recourse. Yeah, And I said, well,
what do you Why do you think I said not
to do it?
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Why I don't even do it? And I'm a grown
ass man.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Why would I Why would I good conscience say you
go ahead and do it. I tell you, it's a
lot of work being right all the damn time. So
she so you told her no. I told her no,
But you told her I don't think the idea thinking
that that would have been enough. And anyone who's been
married knows that that doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
I can't believe she ignored the man of the house.
That's just insane. I'm not the man of the house.
I'm a guy who lives there. I pay the mortgage.
I said, you haven't been in my house, But Stephan,
you've been in my house. Everything you see in my house,
with the exception of the ads TV, it's her.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Well, I got to name Riley and Benson. That's about it. Okay.
Everything you saw in that house was her decision.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Everything from the flooring to the furniture, to the paint
on the walls, to the plates and dishes in the cabinet. Everything.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
And that's how you make a house a home. No,
that keeps me. That keeps to me.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Saying okay if I let her have that look, let yes, yes, all,
let yeah, because there are the days I come home
it's like, oh, okay, she changed everything in the backyard.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
She moves all the first round, she got new furniture.
Everything just changes on a whim.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
This is everything is subject to change without notice, and
with the let comes in.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Mark is I just don't say anything I see you
just continue on your way and get it. Jack Daniels and.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Any man who's been married, knows what I'm talking about.
Not every argument is worth having. No, I'm sure she's
extremely grateful of all that you let her do. Yes, yes,
because for as much mortgage as I pay, it's let
it's let I have no stay in that house.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
None. None. I love that. This is the day after
the other three. There was a day.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
There was a day I came home and she had
remodeled the master bedroom closet I had.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
I didn't even know that.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
I came home and I had less closet than when
I left the house. Is that your new room now
it might be to night, No, I'm talking about the
master bedroom. Yeah, the closet is that your new room
might as well.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Be might as well be Okay, I know we have.
So she restructured it. She wasstructed.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Put in shelves and like doubled up on the cot.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
What is the bar for the hangers and everything for that? Yeah, yeah,
for hang the clothes. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
So we had much more space in that, but she
needed more room for her sh shoes, and so it's
not half and half in the close. I got about
maybe twenty three point seven percent.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Of the closet.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
It's like and the shells are set up in a
way like I don't have forty five thousand pairs of shoes.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
I don't need shells.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Yeah, you wear the same thing every day. You don't
need the room. She thought, correct, correct, And that's what
she threw up in my face. It's like, you don't
need that much one for your clothes. Can I at
least have a say? Can we at least have a
vote in Congress? Can you at least put it on
the floor for discussion and debate.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
That's a big negatory, Okay?
Speaker 1 (30:35):

Yes, we're still holding out against Hope trying to get
Eddie Murphy on this show. Melanie Mattson in the chat
and the Mo Migos motown Chat says MO, you're beating
a dead horse. Give it up on Eddie. It's like, well,
I mean disrespectfully, Melanie. I'm not going to give up.
People who don't give up in this business get good interviews.
(31:37):
I've been told no dozens of times by top guests,
and eventually they come around. It may not be that time.
It might be next year, it might be two, three years.
We talk all the time where it took years to
get a person like John Ratzenberger on the show. We're
promised we were going to get him when we were
at Comic Con and he didn't come on until four
or five years later. So no, you don't give up.
(31:58):
You just continue to beat per se. It may not
be this time, it may be next time. But that's
something that I will never do, never, never, never. Today
is a doublely good day. There is the eighty eighth
anniversary of Krispy Kream and there's also National Ice Cream Day.

And Krispy Kreme also has summer beverages, including Lemonade that
cool refreshing drink and s'mores lattes.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Yeah, I'm very hungry now.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
And I was telling Tauala he was getting ready to
order the Krispy Kremes, and I'm saying, like, don't do that.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Don't don't do that because it's just good.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
I have been very, very disciplined this week with my diet,
and there's something I am serious about is because you know,
I don't need all that extra sugar even though I
like it.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
You know, I haven't had a drink since fourth of July. What.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Yeah, I'm trying to I'm trying to be good, especially
before up until at least I go on my vacation
where I'm probably not going to be.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
Oh that's diet restricted. Okay, Yeah, you want to make
very depressed. When I was I had the app out,
I'm ordering regular story. How many do you want the
superhero or do you want the regular? Well, you know
you want the regular A story. He was like, you know,
don't know. Oh my god, No, don't do that.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Don't do that. Don't do that. Yeah, don't do it.
Don't do that.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Because I'm being serious, I'll eat four and then I
will be mad at myself because I would have just
off all the good work I did with my diet
this week. But and seriously, it's no joke. You can
eat four. It doesn't even feel like you had one
at all. You can eat them so easily, it's crazy.
And we were speaking from experience. Right now, my teeth
(35:17):
hurt thinking about all of them. Oh yeah, four of those.
But at the time it was all worth it. And
then I go home and I'm like regretful, having second thoughts,
buyer's remorse.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
But see now that the fairs here, I would go
down there and eat one of their Crispy Kream fried
Chicken salad, just with is the Krispy Cream donuts on
the fried chicken salad, deep dunked in batter and then
refried with the the Frank's Hot sauce.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Or whatever. I'm not doing it. It's no thank you
for killing that. Now. I really have no desire to
have a Christmas. Did they have those heart padals right
there where you buy it? Sure do? No, they have to.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
They got to have a defibrillator somewhere. Yeah, k IF
I am six forty life everywhere and I heart radio
Speaker 4 (36:05):
Out as I and k O S t h D two,
Los Angeles, Orange County more stimulating talk
It's Friday, Thank you lady with Mokelly Hey if I

and the iHeartRadio app. It's Friday, Friday, Friday, thank goodness.
And yes we are playing name that movie called Classic.
We're playing for Alamo Draft House Cinema Passes for you
(00:42):
and someone you care about.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
There's so much we have to cover.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
We have to talk about what La Metro is doing
to update it's technology, believe it or not. And I
got into a long protracted conversation with why to walla
Shark did not come to the studio with any Krispy
Kreme donuts because today is the eighty eighth birthday of
Krispy Kreme and they're offering eighty eight cent donuts, and
(01:10):
I'm thinking, I love Krispy Krean, Stefan loves Krispy Kreme,
Mark kind of likes Krispy Krean. No, doesn't like Krispy Kreme.
I knew there was some trepidation there. No, I don't
eat that stuff. But he could make it up to
all of us by getting pizza. He could have done
something something, But he came to the studio empty handed
specifically no Krispy Kreme donuts, and I don't I feel
(01:32):
some kind of way about that?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
He too, I'll take Mark's donuts though. Okay, are you
going to go get some? I wish I could. What
do you mean just you don't do anything? Literally?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Why are you Uber eats and you're just sit here right?
I don't know what's happening for it?
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Are you saying there's nothing you can do to help
us get some krispy Kreme on this Friday krispy Kreme birthday?
Tawalaculd or maybe Carneicia could Carnasha's busy with the show.
And I came, oh, yeah, she's a passenger princess. Wait
who I sounded disrespectful?
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Self proclaimed that's yeah, princess.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Oh no, Daniel has a trans manion one.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I can't drop it.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
You can't drive a stick? Oh wow, I can't go.
Somebody needs to get some donuts. Christian Kreer, I think
they deliver. Can someone please investigate? I would love to
have a Krispy Kreme donut that I'm not supposed to eat.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Pretty please? Four?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Why you want to eat a donut? They just taste
so damn good. I will eat four out of a
dozen without even thinking. You can eat a box and
not even think about it because it's like.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Air, and I'm not supposed to eat them. I know that,
but I.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Damned oh we're talking about eat it and not think
about it. I'm thinking about it the entire time. I'm
passed out outside. Look, I had Eric ed garrig Is
from Wendy.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Wendy's was so nice to bring us a couple of
Krispy Kremes a few months ago. I ate at least four.
At least four. I have no business eating that. I shouldn't.
There's no good reason to. Well, you could wash it
down with a healthy pizza. No, I wash it down
with water, and you mock me for that. Yes, no,
we both drink water. I don't drink pop or anything
(03:17):
like that. Okay, well it was Tuala and Stefan. Yeah,
because I drink water. I definitely was heavy with the mockery.
Oh yeah, I was too. Well, that means you need
to make it up to me and go get some
Krispy Krean Dunnuts.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
It's not too water. I'm with Mark on this one.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
He doesn't eat Krispy Kreans, but I'll I'll use him.
I feel like we haven't gotten anywhere. Yeah, don't, don't
everyone you know stand up at once and volunteer to
go get some donuts. It's Friday, for God's sake, we
need sustenance. Please stop a week. I'll come back to
you in just a moment.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
You come back.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
And also we have to talk about the continuing fallout
regarding this Stephen coled Bear announcement.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Last night. I covered it last night.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
I told you about the reasoning given by Paramount And
now that more people are weighing in and we have
a better perspective of what this really looks like, we're
gonna drill down and then sift out the facts from
the fiction, because there are a lot of untruths being
spread out there. There are a lot of lies being
(04:24):
told as far as the reasoning behind this announcement, saying
it was purely financial, and if you look underneath the surface,
there's no good financial reason for Paramount Plus to make
this announcement at this time and in this way if
you're concerned about finances. But if you also do it,
(04:48):
you know, the same week that you're meeting with the
FCC to clear an eight billion dollar merger. Then say that,
say that, but we'll get into that next hour. And
of course name that movie cult classic to for Alamo
Drafthouse Cinema tickets. It's all about Superman there. Everyone's a
super person at Alamo Drafthouse Cinema and with the Man
(05:09):
of Steel has soaring back onto the big screen with
DC Studio Superman. Alamo Draftthouse Cinema has the limited time
pop up menu and exclusive merchandise to mark the occasion,
including Superman Supreme Pizza with Pepperoni, sausage, roasted mushrooms, peppers,
green olives, mozzarella, and Marinera on a thick crust. Notice
(05:31):
mark they didn't say anything about black olives. They said
green olives. That's implied. Everybody loves black olives. Smallville Hot
Chicken Wrap where fried Chicken meats Nashville Hot and Barbecue Ranch.
There's the Red Cape Margarita with Blanco Tequila Orange Liqueur.
And there's the Krypton Cooler, bright blue and potentially deadly
(05:53):
to Kryptonians. And the Kryptonite Cheesecake you Can't Go Wrong
also available, and we talked about these last night. Don't
forget to pick a limited edition Superman popcorn bucket while
supplies last. Those are a big deal and Twalla is
going to buy one. Sure, how much do you think
it is?
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Alamo is very very easy on the wallet. Alamo's not
like other theaters that are trying to take you for
the cost of four tickets and write and parking for
their one bucket for their buckets. Now, Alamo's more like,
come on, it's a bucket, it's a limited edition. We
know we're not trying to fleece you.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Remember when I said on Wednesday, Hey, coming up on
Thursday will be the good Trouble Lives On rallies and
protests all around the country, And I tried to let
you know what they were and what they weren't. Well,
I hate to say I'm right. Well, actually I like
saying I'm right. I just get tired of saying that
I'm right. It's hard to work being right all the time.
And I was right about the good Trouble Lives On protests.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Did you see the head line in the LA Daily Mail?
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Hundreds protesters, not thousands, not tens of thousands. It's supposed
to be like sixteen hundred events all around the country,
there were hundreds.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
I'm sorry, I don't mean to laugh. I'm sorry, Oh
I mean a laugh back, I mean a laugh.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
And I'll get into it next segment, because this is
what happens when you have merchandising masquerading as protests, when
you're trying to market protests as opposed to actually conducting
and inspiring people to speak out on behalf of an issue.
That's coming up next. It's Later with mo Kelly. Thank goodness,
(07:42):
it's Friday. We're live everywhere on Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I Later with mo Kelly Live on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram,
the iHeartRadio App. Come on and join us in the
video chat, the Motown Video Chat. Hang out with the Momigos.
So we talk about anything and everything. Something I talked
about on Wednesday previewing what was going to happen on Thursday,
(08:24):
The Good Trouble Lives on rallies and they fell flat.
They did not surprisingly, and I told you they probably
would not be well received, well attended, not all that effective.
And the point I was trying to make is there's
a difference between what protest is in the twenty first
(08:46):
century in twenty twenty five versus what it was in
the twentieth century in the Civil Rights movement and some
other protests and movements during the twentieth century. The problem
is today it's just a it's a marketing tools. Let's
be honest. There's money to be made in these protests.
(09:06):
A lot of people want to be slick and be
sarcastic and say no, no, no, they're funded by George Soros. No,
that's not it. They are tools to generate funds. It's
not to spend money. It's to get people who are
seemingly like minded to sign up, so they have your
information and they can sell that information just like any
(09:29):
other list. They can sell those lists to political candidates,
they can sell it to different organizations like Act Blue.
They can sell it to a number of individuals and organizations,
and they can monetize it. It's not about spending money,
but actually making money, because you cannot just announce there's
(09:51):
going to be a protest on Friday or Thursday or whatever.
It doesn't work that way. It works from the bottom up,
not top down. I know, remember what happened with the
No Kings protest that whole day of defiance, and it
was supposed to set off a whole slew of activities
and protests which you'll be coming up in the next
days and weeks and months. Not a damn thing happened afterward.
(10:14):
In fact, not a damn thing happened during it. It
changed nothing. It meant absolutely nothing, with the exception of
they got a lot of people's information and that will
be used during the election cycle. There was someone who benefited.
It just wasn't any of the protesters.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Someone got something out of it. It just wasn't the protesters.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
And that's why I try to keep hammering home this point.
Protesting is noble in and of itself. It has a place.
There is something that can be said for how it
can change things, how it can change the trajection of
trajectory of society. But just to say we're going to
protest doesn't mean much if you don't understand how you're
(10:58):
supposed to use it as effective tool.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Most people don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
And so another protest has come and gone and absolutely
nothing has changed.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Yes, I know you're mad.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I mad, everybody's mad, everyone's unhappy at the Trump administration.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
How dare Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Do this or how dare he say that I can't
stand them. We need to do something. We need to
have our voices or we need to rise up. We
need to make sure that we do this, that and
the other. And it's like, well, you missed your opportunity.
That bus has already left the station. That was called
election Day. That was when you're supposed to show up.
That was when you're supposed to actually protest. That was
(11:35):
when you're supposed to come out and flood the streets
and let your voice be heard by way of the
ballot box. Didn't you learn anything from twenty sixteen and
all the pink pea hats and all the demonstrations and
the protests after Donald Trump won his first election. I
remember that. I think, Twala you remember that. I know
(11:56):
Stephan remembers that. Maybe Mark Ronald remembers that, but I'm
pretty sure he does. They remember all the protests, We
remember how little impact they had. And I said, then
you missed your moment twenty sixteen because you didn't vote.
Then now Donald Trump is gonna do what he wants
in he elected now one, not two, but three Supreme
(12:17):
Court justices, and now we are seeing the effects of that.
Now we're seeing the legislative decisions impacted because of that,
because you missed your moment in twenty sixteen, and then
when he missed your moment in twenty twenty four. No,
you can't undo what has happened on the Supreme Court.
But since Donald Trump was re elected, you know, from
(12:39):
forty five to forty seven reelected, Now you have Donald
Trump doing whatever the hell he wants because he has
both chambers of Congress, he has the Supreme Court, and
there's not a damn thing you can do about it
because you missed your moment. If you would have taken
care of business in twenty sixteen, donald Trump is not elected,
he doesn't nominate three different Supreme Court justices. If he's
(13:04):
not elected in twenty twenty four, he's not doing what
he's doing right now.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
And having the benefit of.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
A Republican House, Republican Senate, and a six to three
majority on the Supreme Court. There's no amount of protesting
which is going to change a g dam thing, nothing,
not at all. And I think it, frankly, it's insulting
to say that you want to have a good trouble
lives on and steel a portion of the legacy of
(13:32):
the late Congressman John Lewis and say we are somehow
the benefactors of that, or the beneficiaries of that, we
are the descendants of that that you are somehow keeping
his legacy alive. No, no, no, John Lewis, if he
were here, he would have told you you need to
handle it then, because you may not get a second opportunity.
(13:54):
That was the power of the March on Washington. It
was about we have one chance to get this right chance.
Make sure the whole world is watching. Make sure that
then President Kennedy is watching, and so doctor King could
sit down with President Kennedy and hopefully move forward on
the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act. Unfortunately, sadly, tragically, terribly,
(14:17):
President Kennedy was assassinated and then it fell to the
shoulders of LBJ Lyndon Baines Johnson. You can see the
video right now of John Lewis at the March on
Washington on our YouTube channel.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
People wrongly want.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
To take the lessons of the civil rights movement and
use them now when they haven't even learned them, don't
even understand them. Don't fully even appreciate them. And now
you have people and I always say, T well, I've
meant to say this earlier.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Be careful who you let speak on your behalf.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
And I don't know who these people are who are
organized in the good Trumpel trouble lives on rallies across
southern California. But I think they have misappropriated or culturally
appropriated John Lewis's legacy and want to tell you and
me that what they're doing is somehow in the vein
of John Lewis, when it clearly is not.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Clearly.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
You had one hundred thirty five people out there across
southern California over six or seven different protests, and let
me be honest, there were no black.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
People out there.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Maybe two, there are two, there are three, okay, three
or four. But we saw unions out there, cius, We
saw everyone out there, even be on We saw ice,
ice everything with the ice. Yeah, And it was like,
is this just a bunch of different organizations that came
together missing the entire point of protests. Protests are not
(15:45):
about creating awareness. Protests are actually a call to action,
and with no actionable item, it is a waste of time,
awareness changes nothing.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Let me just ask. I'm just gonna go on the room,
pop quiz, Stefan. Do you know who the president is?
Speaker 2 (16:05):
I do?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Okay, Mark Ronald Do you know who the president is
right now? The president of what of the United States? Oh?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Oh yes I do?
Speaker 1 (16:11):
In fact, okay, uh, Carnasia, do you know who the
president is right now?
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Yes? Okay? Twalla Sharp, do you know who the president is? Yes? Okay.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
You're aware of what is going on in the world
in a general sense and his role, the president's roll
in it.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Yes, I think that's where to.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Say, right, okay, So the awareness portion doesn't have any
real impact. And now I think we're a nice cross
section of society. Everybody knows who the freaking president is.
Everyone knows like him or loathe him. He's a controversial person.
So all of us walk it out in the middle
of the street to let everyone know we're unhappy.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
We need to do something.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Changes nothing, It helps nothing, It inspires nothing. You should
have been at the polls. And I know this is California.
It's not like Donald Trump was gonna lose California. But
this is supposed to be a national event from coast
to coast. They planned six whoever they is, I have
no idea who they is. Sixteen hundred events between the
(17:15):
West Coast and the East coast from.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
See the Shining Sea.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Sixteen hundred events and none of them really well attended.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
What does that tell you?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
That means that this was created as a tool for
reasons having nothing to do with the actual people who
they say they're supposed to be helping organize and acting
on the behest of or on the behalf of that.
It's frustrating because I'm a kid of the Civil rights movement,
and I know the civil rights movement, and I don't
(17:47):
like people trying to misappropriate or just culturally bastardize the
legacy of luminaries of the civil rights movement. And when
you attach attach John Lewis his name, and you're saying
you're doing this in a memory of him, and you're
doing it in the spirit of him, and you're doing
it because you want certain types of change on Capitol Hills.
(18:08):
Like you idiots, you have no idea what you're doing,
and you're not going to accomplish this fake goal. And
here's the worst part that no one will ever tell
you about. You have further deluded and made even more
ineffective the next protests, the next time that you say
(18:31):
we all need to come together and walk in the
streets arm and arm and sing, we shall overcome kombay y'all,
because it's almost like crying wolf. You've done it so
many times. People have been anesthetized. People have been numb
to the idea of the immediacy or so called immediacy
(18:56):
of protest because you've treated it so cavalierly for the
purpose of marketing for political ends, having nothing to do
with the protest. It's later with Kelly Can. If I
am six forty, we are live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
We have an LA Metro update. They have new technology
(19:17):
or something. I don't know. Maybe everyone's gonna wear a
bulletproof vest or something like that, or anti shanking gear
or something. Maybe they could have like a bomb shelter,
anti shaky, yeah, anti shiv, anti shanking, you know, knife resistant,
so you will get today that look. They say they
(19:39):
have updated technology. We'll talk about what it is next.
They unnamed they the infamous. They some people say something
If I am six forty.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
I remember standing cross for me when smelly I remember
an old.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Man next to Metro KFI later with Moe Kelly live
on social media, video, podcast, video stream and also audio
on the iHeartRadio app. La Metro has new technology that
(20:36):
they're rolling out and they are celebrating. According to La Metro,
they have new technologies in payments, mapping and digital products
which are on the way and it says that it
adds service and ridership continues to rise. This is according
(20:57):
to La Metro. La Metro. Fernando Dutra, the new La
County Metropolitan Transit Authority board chair, says he aims to
quote deliver a safe and efficient world class transit service
clothes quote slow down there, slow down now. There's nothing
world class about La Metro. If you've ever been on
(21:17):
a subway in any other city in the United States,
if you've been on maybe the Tube in London, if
you've been on a subway in any other city in
the world, you would know that La Subway is not
world class. But he goes on, we're planning to deliver
a world class system for generations to come. He said
(21:38):
that Wednesday at Metro's annual State of the Agency gathering,
where officials typically reflect on accomplishments and lay out new initiatives.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
The new improvements include.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
You're a special tap card, where it's I thought they
already had the Tap card. I used a Tap card
years ago, and that touting that is somehow new and improved.
But they're saying tap to pay tech is becoming increasingly
common among US transit providers, intending to add convenience and
forego cumbersome e ticketing apps, vending machines, and cash. What
(22:11):
they're basically saying is you will not have the ability
to use cash for your cards going forward. Cities including Boston,
Las Vegas, and Sacramento have introduced tap to pay technologies.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
I guess you can use your credit card to fill
up your card and.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
You won't have to have that dollar scroll into the
machine anymore.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
They say they're also improving their digital tools.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Metro intends to introduce a quote, all in one app
for Everything Metro to keep you in the know about
when your bus or train is coming.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
No more scavenger hunts clothes. Quote, I got news for you.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
They had apps back when I was writing Metro, which
would tell you the next Metro bus, the next Metro train,
the location of the nearest Metro transfers five six years ago.
Now why Metro's own app didn't have that information and
third party apps did.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
I have no idea Why they're just now.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Trying to integrate that in the Metro app in twenty
twenty five. I have no freaking idea Why they're trying
to pass it off as something revolutionary or something otherworldly.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
But according to Metro, all of these upgrades are aimed
at setting up Metro for the city's upcoming big events,
you know, the World Cup next year and the twenty
twenty eight Summer Olympic Games. Nice of them to come
into this century in advance of the World Cup and
also the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
This is what they had to say.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
The President Metro had to say, quote, I am confident
we will meet this moment because, like the elite athletes
will be hosting, we've been training. Oh my gosh, who
wrote that, Mark? Did you write that for Metro? I'm
confident we will meet this moment because, like the elite
athletes we will be hosting, we've been training. Yeah, you
know that I'm renowned for my bureaucrates and double speak.
(24:15):
I never put things directly. It's ever horrible a knowledge you.
But hey, if that's the best you could come up with.
If you say that you've been training, I would say
you've been losing, you've been failing. You have not been competing.
You're not on the same field. You're not in the
same league as other cities or other subways or transportation systems.
(24:35):
Now they've been heralding the opening of the new lax
Slash Metro Transit Center, and they say it's a project
six decades in the making, additions to extended train lines
and the deployment of more bus priority lanes now on
more than seventy miles of streets. Have you noticed they
said nothing about safety, not a damn thing.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
I was thinking.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
I was thinking about you, because I was just like,
I wonder if you driven by the new billboards.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
They're like, the new Metro for l ex is open. Now,
I see it, I see it.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
You know.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
A lot of marketing, yep, and a lot of downplaying
of what has been the achilles heel of Metro, and
that has to do with safety or lack thereof. That.
That's that's the deal breaker. I don't care if you
have more trains. This is just me personally. I don't
care if you have more trains. I don't care if
you have new tap to pay technology. I don't care
(25:30):
if you have a new Lax Metro transit center. If
the likelihood of me getting stabbed is just as high
now as it was three.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Months ago, all that's out the window.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
I just want to know if it's safe enough for
me to entrust my loved ones. That's all I want,
because that's all the matter is. I had a real
conversation with my wife a couple of weeks ago. She
was saying, Hey, I want to try out this subway
line and see how close it gets me to the airport.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
That's right, Stephan, you know exactly what where I live.
I'm not far from the airport, very close, Okay.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
So it's something that we would reasonably conceive of using
if we're going out of town, like when we're going
out on our vacation next month, as opposed to driving
to the airport and having someone drive us. Could we
take the metro and safely get to the airport. This
is what my wife told me she against my wishes.
(26:24):
I said, please don't do this. This is this is an
actual true story. I said, I would feel better if
you didn't. She decided on a Sunday to take the
Metro and go to Lax. She said to me it
was not a good idea, and I felt unsafe. Aha, Wow,
she did it against my wish. This is a true story.
(26:47):
She has the nerve to defy you. So that was
her verbatim, verbatim. She throwing some other things because she
also said coming back what she just felt like. I
was very exposed and it's something were to happened to me.
I didn't have any recourse. Yeah, And I said, well,
what do you Why do you think I said not
to do it?
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Why I don't even do it? And I'm a grown
ass man.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Why would I Why would I good conscience say you
go ahead and do it. I tell you, it's a
lot of work being right all the damn time. So
she so you told her no. I told her no,
But you told her I don't think the idea thinking
that that would have been enough. And anyone who's been
married knows that that doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
I can't believe she ignored the man of the house.
That's just insane. I'm not the man of the house.
I'm a guy who lives there. I pay the mortgage.
I said, you haven't been in my house, But Stephan,
you've been in my house. Everything you see in my house,
with the exception of the ads TV, it's her.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Well, I got to name Riley and Benson. That's about it. Okay.
Everything you saw in that house was her decision.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Everything from the flooring to the furniture, to the paint
on the walls, to the plates and dishes in the cabinet. Everything.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
And that's how you make a house a home. No,
that keeps me. That keeps to me.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Saying okay if I let her have that look, let yes, yes, all,
let yeah, because there are the days I come home
it's like, oh, okay, she changed everything in the backyard.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
She moves all the first round, she got new furniture.
Everything just changes on a whim.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
This is everything is subject to change without notice, and
with the let comes in.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Mark is I just don't say anything I see you
just continue on your way and get it. Jack Daniels and.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Any man who's been married, knows what I'm talking about.
Not every argument is worth having. No, I'm sure she's
extremely grateful of all that you let her do. Yes, yes,
because for as much mortgage as I pay, it's let
it's let I have no stay in that house.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
None. None. I love that. This is the day after
the other three. There was a day.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
There was a day I came home and she had
remodeled the master bedroom closet I had.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
I didn't even know that.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
I came home and I had less closet than when
I left the house. Is that your new room now
it might be to night, No, I'm talking about the
master bedroom. Yeah, the closet is that your new room
might as well.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Be might as well be Okay, I know we have.
So she restructured it. She wasstructed.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Put in shelves and like doubled up on the cot.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
What is the bar for the hangers and everything for that? Yeah, yeah,
for hang the clothes. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
So we had much more space in that, but she
needed more room for her sh shoes, and so it's
not half and half in the close. I got about
maybe twenty three point seven percent.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Of the closet.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
It's like and the shells are set up in a
way like I don't have forty five thousand pairs of shoes.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
I don't need shells.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Yeah, you wear the same thing every day. You don't
need the room. She thought, correct, correct, And that's what
she threw up in my face. It's like, you don't
need that much one for your clothes. Can I at
least have a say? Can we at least have a
vote in Congress? Can you at least put it on
the floor for discussion and debate.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
That's a big negatory, Okay?
Speaker 1 (30:35):
If I am since forty, WeLive everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.

Keep digging bow together like a hers and carriage. Pretty
soon there'll be a video of you on the jumbotronta

Eddie Murphy on this show. Melanie Mattson in the chat
and the Mo Migos motown Chat says MO, you're beating
a dead horse. Give it up on Eddie. It's like, well,
I mean disrespectfully, Melanie. I'm not going to give up.
People who don't give up in this business get good interviews.
(31:37):
I've been told no dozens of times by top guests,
and eventually they come around. It may not be that time.
It might be next year, it might be two, three years.
We talk all the time where it took years to
get a person like John Ratzenberger on the show. We're
promised we were going to get him when we were
at Comic Con and he didn't come on until four
or five years later. So no, you don't give up.
(31:58):
You just continue to beat per se. It may not
be this time, it may be next time. But that's
something that I will never do, never, never, never. Today

Speaker 2 (34:09):
Don't don't do that because it's just good.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
I have been very, very disciplined this week with my diet,
and there's something I am serious about is because you know,
I don't need all that extra sugar even though I
like it.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
You know, I haven't had a drink since fourth of July. What.
Speaker 1 (34:27):

Don't do that. Don't do that. Yeah, don't do it.
Don't do that.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Because I'm being serious, I'll eat four and then I
will be mad at myself because I would have just
off all the good work I did with my diet
this week. But and seriously, it's no joke. You can
eat four. It doesn't even feel like you had one
at all. You can eat them so easily, it's crazy.
And we were speaking from experience. Right now, my teeth
(35:17):
hurt thinking about all of them. Oh yeah, four of those.
But at the time it was all worth it. And
then I go home and I'm like regretful, having second thoughts,
buyer's remorse.

But see now that the fairs here, I would go
down there and eat one of their Crispy Kream fried
Chicken salad, just with is the Krispy Cream donuts on
