Speaker 2 (00:43):
Let's see Tiffany Hops.
Speaker 5 (00:46):
Oh goodness, Hi everyone on YouTube watching.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
It's really great to have this opportunity.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
Tonight's viral load is going to be a mixture of
things about Minecraft.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
I know you touched on this on Monday. There been
some new.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
Developments and also some stories that you might not have
known actually went viral. Let me start with one of them.
How often do you travel, whether on a leisurely ride
something more, and you take pictures of beautiful scenery?
Speaker 3 (01:16):
How often do you do that moment?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Never?
Speaker 5 (01:18):
Never you don't take your camera out and take a
picture of like a rolling hill or no loud.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Or no, no, I just don't, just one because I'm driving,
And two it's just not something I might.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Maybe you should.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
It's a beautiful way to kind of encapsulate, to capture
the moment, no judgement.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
I may I may be coming down to one ten
and if you know, going down to one ten north
you can see downtown if it's a sunny day and
you get the mountains and a backdrop, and I can say, ooh,
that's very nice, it's so beautiful.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Camera.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
No, you're not living. You know you haven't lived until
you pull out your camera on the mental memory.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
I'm not the guy who needs to post my whole
life on Instagram.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
Well this guy wasn't the guy who wanted to post
his entire life on Instagram.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
But now, many.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
Years after his original photo was taken, he is now
going viral. I'm talking about Charles O'Rear, who has taken
what's considered to.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Be Chuck Rear.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Chuck Rear.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
He has taken Chuck Ore, Chuck O'Rear, what has been
considered to be the world's most viewed photo. He didn't
take this this week or last even. He took it
in January of nineteen ninety six, when he was on
the way to visit his then girlfriend now wife, Daphnee Larkin.
He was driving from his house in Saint Helena, California,
(02:37):
to Larkins in Marin County and he would pull over
occasionally to take snapshots of the beautiful rolling hills, bright
blue skies. And the thing about it is, Chuck Ohrear
decided to submit his photo to a sharing website, a
stock photo agency back then called west Light. You might
(02:59):
know ap photo very similar. And what Chuck did is
he just submitted the photo as something he thought that
the agency, the stock photo agency might like. Well, not
only did they like it, but someone named Bill Gates
heard of him. No, Microsoft co founder Bill Gates happened
upon the image. And how Bill Gates happened upon the
(03:21):
image is that Gates's Corbis group bought west Lights stock
photo Agency in nineteen ninety eight, and what that photo
agency contained was Charles O'Rear's photo of a beautiful green pasture,
rolling hills, bright blue sky, a few clouds, and you
(03:44):
know it today as the background for Microsoft. The thing
about it is O'Rear's image ended up with Bill Gates,
who then decided to pay him for the photo. And
today Charles O'Rear is saying that he had as a
major regret.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
He says that he if he knew.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Then what he knows now, his negotiating powers would have
been a lot stronger.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
He received somewhere.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Around one hundred thousand dollars for the photo and nineteen
ninety six. According to official data dot org, one hundred
thousand dollars in nineteen ninety six is closer to about
two hundred and twenty thousand dollars today. So Charles o'reer
(04:32):
says that he very much regrets ever uploading the photo
to that stock photo agency and that you know, things happen.
He's going viral today because of the photo.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
It's unfortunate because if you look at the photo, because
of photoshop, because of filters, because of AI, the photo
doesn't get its due credit because it's not going to
stand out in the way that we think it would
stand out because of everything is you know, is created.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Yeah, and it's it's a pretty mundane photo. It's beautiful,
but you can reproduce this easily today. Back then in
nineteen ninety six not so much. But as he says,
he wishes he would have known then what he knows now.
Second and last story of this segment happens to deal
with the Minecraft movie. On Monday, you talked about the
(05:28):
Minecraft movie and how it's just been blowing up and
it has this huge following already, and it's gaining steam
amongst people who are going and interacting with the movie
in the theaters. Well, some of that interaction is due
to a new TikTok trend named chicken Jockey. I think
(05:49):
you might have touched on chicken Jockey minorly on Monday,
But let me tell you what chicken jockey actually is.
The chicken jockey TikTok trend involves a line said by
Jack Black, one of the main characters. He's in a
ring fight scene. In the scene, Jason Momoa's character Garrett
(06:09):
Garrison can be seen ready to face off with a chicken.
He looks up at the crate Jason Momoa, which is
hanging over a ladder. The crate opens and a baby's
zombie drops on the chicken. Oh my gosh, this movie
sounds insane. Just then, Jack Black's character Steve says chicken jockey,
(06:32):
and the baby zombie storms toward Momoa. Okay, now that's
a little synopsis of where the line comes from.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
So how is this now viral?
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Well, the scene is a reference to the baby zombie
characters in the game, who can be found riding chickens
at different times.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Throughout the game.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
The clip that's gone viral as was posted by an
account called discuss discussing film on a ex formerly Twitter
after the particular line is uttered by Jack Black in
the scene. And what people are doing that's going viral
is people are taking their popcorn.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
They're throwing it at the screen.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
They're yelling chicken Jockey at the top of their lungs,
they're shouting, they're storming the screen, and they're now of
course being escorted out by police.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
See the first mother father to throw popcorn at the
screen game imagine in the back of the head.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
We're going to have a misunderstanding.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
And it's a TikTok trend, so they're encouraging people to
go and do this. That is the problem with TikTok.
Millions upon millions upon millions of subscribers and engagement with
the website and a lot of people who will do
anything a viral trend tells them to do.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
And that's the first portion of the viral load with
Tiffany Hobbs will have more in just a moment, not
only on the iHeartRadio app, not only on Kfi, but
also on YouTube app mister from O'Kelly. There's Tiffany Hobbs
waiting to the camera. We're live everywhere, just all around
the world.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Now it's Sun My.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Room with Tiffany Live on Camfies NAT with Okvy.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
She'll talk about the Toughes on social media.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
L with Tiffany Hubbs, KFI and YouTube, iHeartRadio app. We
are live everywhere and we're in the second part of
the viral load with Tiffany Hops.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
When you are let go from your job or fired
from your job, one of the last things you're probably
anticipating is for your former employer to reach out to
you to ask you for help on the job that
you no longer fill. I wish a fool would wish
a mother father wood would right, Well, this next story
(08:59):
is going viral because of that sort of outrageous request.
There's a workplace workplace expert from the UK. His name
is Ben Askins, and he routinely goes viral for sharing
anonymous text messages that are exchanges between workers and their managers.
So this isn't this isn't his first foray into virality.
(09:22):
But who asks kins? Okay, it's a good name. I
was just a straight round name, a plump name.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
You got a peach joke in there, so I could. Okay.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
So Early Askins recently shared a wild exchange in which
a boss messaged and an employee who had recently been
fired and asked for that employee's help with new software.
So this employee was let go fire from this business.
And the boss again reaches out and says, hey, remember
that thing that you did, that software you set up
(09:57):
and kind of trained everyone on. Well, we've since outsourced
your position and they don't know how to navigate the software.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Oh boy, so we need you to come back.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
And they fired him.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
Correct, they fired him. So what ben Askins did is
he got hold of this UK expert.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
He got hold of these.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Text messages between the boss and the former employee former
employees submitted to ben askins very very viral site, and
part of the text messages include the following. The boss
texts the former employee and says, quote, I need to
ask a favor. The employee responds, quote, are you joking?
(10:40):
You fired me and now you're asking for help. The
boss then responds and says, I appreciate that this is awkward.
The ex employee writes back, I told you this would happened,
and the ex boss replied again, asking if the former
worker would quote walk the team through the software remotely.
(11:03):
The ex employee replies and says, you know what, I'll
do it, but pay me for what I'm doing half
a day's pay for the help. The boss replies saying
they're not happy, and argues that we're not gonna pay you.
It's only going to take less than half an hour,
so he shouldn't have to pay the ex employee for
(11:23):
any sort of extra time. He also, the boss goes
on to say, we work together for a long time.
Can't you just do this for me? And of course
these text messages made it to Ben Askins, who was
not impressed with the exchange, uploaded it online and it's
quickly gone viral, amassing hundreds of thousands of views, lots
(11:43):
of engagement, and a lot of people weighing in on
the conversation, saying all of this could have been avoided
if the employer hadn't fired a viable and valuable employee.
Our last story, well, maybe we'll i'd be able to
get to a third or fifth one. A viral video
is going is becoming very popular. It features two anglers
(12:06):
arguing on something called the Peace River in Punta Gorda, Florida.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
The irony about this next viral.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
Story that point, is that it takes place on Peace
River and the exchange between these two anglers is anything
but peaceful, and their exchange has now garnered millions of
views across social media, especially on Facebook. So what happens
is there's an incident and it's it's now prompted an
(12:35):
investigation by Punta Gorda Police or fat point as you say,
and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. The video
captures the two boaters arguing about lights while fishing under
the US forty one bridge. So they're trying to kind
of see who has the right of way, who's going
to go it's a it's a low bridge. They don't
want to crash into each other. The argument escalates when
(12:58):
one of the boaters, named Brock, the names are perfectly
Florida man Brock climbs aboard the other person's boat, and
that person's name is Gauge. So we have Brock on
one side, Gauge on the other. Very millennial right, Brock
(13:20):
climbs aboard Gauge's boat, and what appears to be an
act of river rage. Arguing commences. There's some shoving, there's
some finger pointing. I don't know if any runners were thrown,
but the lang probably, but the language was just loud
enough and just aggressive enough where that the police got involved.
(13:43):
The fisherman's village in that area announced that it has
now severed ties with Brock in response to the video,
and they severed ties because the video has been uploaded
and has gone viral. Brock's attorney spoke out and said
that he wanted to dress the video because the video
has now caused Brock's business to be destroyed, his reputation
(14:07):
to be damaged, and his family, including his wife and mother,
to be harassed and even threatened. So I think the
moral of this story is, don't name your kids Brock
or Gauge.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Look, I'm not gonna say anything about anyone's name since
my parents named me Morris.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
I know I was named after my father.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
But still that doesn't sound like you'd be fighting on
thish though.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Look, I've had to fight over my name. Yes, yes,
it looks. I've told people all the time. When I
was growing up, it was Morse the Cat, because back
then Morrisey cat commercials they were a big thing. It
was Morris and Moose. It was a book called Morris
and Moose Goes to School. When I got to high school,
it was Morris Day in the time. Everyone thought, and
everyone would say it like they're the first person ever
(14:51):
saying it's like.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Ah, Morris Day at the time, you stupid? Do you
think that's actual? Like witty or something.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
But we don't know if the root of the argument
is over the names. But we do know that it
is now turned into family members getting involved in businesses
being destroyed. So be careful what you do out there
in public. As you often say, mo don't film your
crimes because they can go viral. This last story I'll
do very quickly. It has to do with something that's
ironic given that we're now on camera. There's a bride
(15:21):
who got married a year ago, and during her wedding preparation,
she told all of her bride's maids, her mom, she's
not wearing makeup. She decided, I'm not wearing makeup that's
not my thing. I've never worn makeup. I'm a chapstick girl,
vasoline girl.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
I like my skin.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
I don't have any imperfections, not out of vanity, but
just out of just how she feels about herself, her
own self confidence. Well, her wedding has now gone viral
this year, one year later on TikTok, because she spoke
out about her decision not to wear makeup. She just
did a quick video and said, hey, a year ago
(15:57):
I got married, I didn't wear makeup.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
It was my choice.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
And she has gotten over twenty five thousand comments, many
of them positive and affirming, but.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Of course trolls.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
There are the trolls who are trying to tear down
her decision by saying that if they were getting married,
of course they would have done differently, and that because
they feel that way, others should too.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Oh boy, the trolls, These trolls, they're.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
There, They're not under bridges where they should be.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
No, I got some thoughts for them before I close
out the show tonight.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
But hey, Tiffany Hops, can you hang around for a
moment because this next story, the next segment, I want
you to weigh in on. Because kids under sixteen will
no longer be allowed to live stream on Instagram without consent.
I think it's a little too little, too late, because
the horse is already out of that barn and there're
too we'll talk about it too, We'll talk It's Later
with mo Kelly Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and YouTube.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty and YouTube.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
It's Later with mo Kelly. And let's talk a little
bit more about social media. And I had Tiffany Hobbs,
who you can also hear here on CAFI Saturdays from
five to seven pm, want to remind you about that.
I want her to stay around for this. But kids
under sixteen will no longer be allowed to live stream
on Instagram without consent. Instagram users under sixteen won't be
(17:25):
able to live stream or unblur nudity in direct messages
they've received without parental approval. And this is because Meta
said it was extending safeguards for users under eighteen to
both Facebook and Messenger. And you may remember Meta recently
launched his teen account program for Instagram back in September
(17:46):
to supposedly my inflection to give parents more options to
supervise their children's online activity because they were getting cussed
out basically for allowing so much stuff on their social
media platform. But under these changes, teens under sixteen are
blocked from using Instagram Live without parental permission. They also
need permission to turn off the feature that blurs images
(18:10):
containing suspected nudity and direct messages. I can appreciate the attempt,
I don't know how sincere it is. I don't know
how effective it will be if only because kids know
how to circumvent all these things. You know, It's like, okay,
so you have so sort of social media block on Instagram,
(18:34):
Well they can go to porn Hub with the same device.
You know, you're not really stopping anything. And I know
Instagram wants to limit its liability and its criticism, but
it's not stopping any of them. And I know most
kids who have Instagram have four or five different accounts.
They have burner accounts, they have adults have burner accounts,
so you know the kids have burner accounts. My question
to you, Tiffany, is this does this really mean anything
(18:55):
to anyone anywhere?
Speaker 3 (18:57):
No, it is ceremonial.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
It is performative, and it is necessary for Meta to
try and keep their reputation or try and at least
establish a reputation as being a safe place for miners
to congregate.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
But they should have done this years ago, years ago.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
It not at all a parallel, So don't get me wrong,
but it feels like when seat belts were created, how
many crashes had there been or accidents had there been
prior to that where children and others were harmed or
killed and then seat belts were instituted, and sure it helped.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
But we can say at least there's data to support
that seat belts do save lives and they're not performative.
Where this is, I don't know if this like put
it this way, I don't know if since seat belts
is in actual law, that this is actually changing either
the company's behavior or is actually protecting anyone.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
I haven't see that data, and.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
I don't think we will see that for a long time.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
It's going to take years of measuring the data to
be able to see if it actually makes any sort
of difference. But just like you said in the interim,
what other programs, what other platforms will kids then go
to to be able to use things inappropriately or access
things that may be safeguarded on Instagram, they'll just go
(20:26):
around it.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Don't ask me how I know this, but I know
that I can just in my natural searching of Instagram.
You can find nudity in people's feeds. It doesn't have
to be a direct message. It could be a so
and so's account happens to be a model or something.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
You see it all the time. It's like, that's nudity
and it's not censored.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
It's definitely not banned and clearly available to anyone who
has an Instagram account.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
And the interesting thing about Meta is that if you've
ever try to report something as an impropriety, whether it's
sexually explicit or it encourages violence, you know exactly that
most times, nine point nine out of ten, your report
will be rejected and the content will stay and be
(21:19):
validated as unoffensive or appropriate. Therefore, like you're saying, you
can access this sort of content at any turn on Instagram,
at any turn on Meta, especially if Meta deems it
as being appropriate. I've seen images that are of births
(21:42):
just in your just regular feeds. Someone posts something and
you have nudity there, or you see someone breastfeed.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
It doesn't have to be sexual.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
If it's not sexualized, then often it stays. But like
you said, there are other ways in which kids can
absolutely consume inappropriate imagery, and just because it's taken out
of the private messages doesn't mean that they then won't
go to their text messages. I also, on the other side,
appreciate Meta for trying something, but it does feel like
(22:10):
too little.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Too late.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
It's Later with Mo Kelly, Tiffany Hobbs, Yes of the

Speaker 4 (01:53):

Speaker 5 (01:55):
Well this guy wasn't the guy who wanted to post
his entire life on Instagram.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
But now, many.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
Years after his original photo was taken, he is now
going viral. I'm talking about Charles O'Rear, who has taken
what's considered to.
Speaker 2 (02:11):

Speaker 3 (02:12):
Chuck Rear.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
He has taken Chuck Ore, Chuck O'Rear, what has been
considered to be the world's most viewed photo. He didn't

He was driving from his house in Saint Helena, California,

Then what he knows now, his negotiating powers would have
been a lot stronger.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
He received somewhere.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Around one hundred thousand dollars for the photo and nineteen
ninety six. According to official data dot org, one hundred
thousand dollars in nineteen ninety six is closer to about
two hundred and twenty thousand dollars today. So Charles o'reer
(04:32):
says that he very much regrets ever uploading the photo
to that stock photo agency and that you know, things happen.
He's going viral today because of the photo.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
It's unfortunate because if you look at the photo, because
of photoshop, because of filters, because of AI, the photo
doesn't get its due credit because it's not going to
stand out in the way that we think it would
stand out because of everything is you know, is created.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Yeah, and it's it's a pretty mundane photo. It's beautiful,
but you can reproduce this easily today. Back then in
nineteen ninety six not so much. But as he says,
he wishes he would have known then what he knows now.
Second and last story of this segment happens to deal
with the Minecraft movie. On Monday, you talked about the
(05:28):
Minecraft movie and how it's just been blowing up and
it has this huge following already, and it's gaining steam
amongst people who are going and interacting with the movie
in the theaters. Well, some of that interaction is due
to a new TikTok trend named chicken Jockey. I think
(05:49):
you might have touched on chicken Jockey minorly on Monday,
But let me tell you what chicken jockey actually is.
The chicken jockey TikTok trend involves a line said by
Jack Black, one of the main characters. He's in a
ring fight scene. In the scene, Jason Momoa's character Garrett
(06:09):
Garrison can be seen ready to face off with a chicken.
He looks up at the crate Jason Momoa, which is
hanging over a ladder. The crate opens and a baby's
zombie drops on the chicken. Oh my gosh, this movie
sounds insane. Just then, Jack Black's character Steve says chicken jockey,
(06:32):
and the baby zombie storms toward Momoa. Okay, now that's
a little synopsis of where the line comes from.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
So how is this now viral?
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Well, the scene is a reference to the baby zombie
characters in the game, who can be found riding chickens
at different times.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Throughout the game.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
The clip that's gone viral as was posted by an
account called discuss discussing film on a ex formerly Twitter
after the particular line is uttered by Jack Black in
the scene. And what people are doing that's going viral
is people are taking their popcorn.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
They're throwing it at the screen.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
They're yelling chicken Jockey at the top of their lungs,
they're shouting, they're storming the screen, and they're now of
course being escorted out by police.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
See the first mother father to throw popcorn at the
screen game imagine in the back of the head.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
We're going to have a misunderstanding.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
And it's a TikTok trend, so they're encouraging people to
go and do this. That is the problem with TikTok.
Millions upon millions upon millions of subscribers and engagement with
the website and a lot of people who will do
anything a viral trend tells them to do.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
And that's the first portion of the viral load with
Tiffany Hobbs will have more in just a moment, not
only on the iHeartRadio app, not only on Kfi, but
also on YouTube app mister from O'Kelly. There's Tiffany Hobbs
waiting to the camera. We're live everywhere, just all around
the world.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Now it's Sun My.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Room with Tiffany Live on Camfies NAT with Okvy.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
She'll talk about the Toughes on social media.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
L with Tiffany Hubbs, KFI and YouTube, iHeartRadio app. We
are live everywhere and we're in the second part of
the viral load with Tiffany Hops.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
When you are let go from your job or fired
from your job, one of the last things you're probably
anticipating is for your former employer to reach out to
you to ask you for help on the job that
you no longer fill. I wish a fool would wish
a mother father wood would right, Well, this next story
(08:59):
is going viral because of that sort of outrageous request.
There's a workplace workplace expert from the UK. His name
is Ben Askins, and he routinely goes viral for sharing
anonymous text messages that are exchanges between workers and their managers.
So this isn't this isn't his first foray into virality.
(09:22):
But who asks kins? Okay, it's a good name. I
was just a straight round name, a plump name.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
You got a peach joke in there, so I could. Okay.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
So Early Askins recently shared a wild exchange in which
a boss messaged and an employee who had recently been
fired and asked for that employee's help with new software.
So this employee was let go fire from this business.
And the boss again reaches out and says, hey, remember
that thing that you did, that software you set up
(09:57):
and kind of trained everyone on. Well, we've since outsourced
your position and they don't know how to navigate the software.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Oh boy, so we need you to come back.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
And they fired him.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
Correct, they fired him. So what ben Askins did is
he got hold of this UK expert.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
He got hold of these.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Text messages between the boss and the former employee former
employees submitted to ben askins very very viral site, and
part of the text messages include the following. The boss
texts the former employee and says, quote, I need to
ask a favor. The employee responds, quote, are you joking?
(10:40):
You fired me and now you're asking for help. The
boss then responds and says, I appreciate that this is awkward.
The ex employee writes back, I told you this would happened,
and the ex boss replied again, asking if the former
worker would quote walk the team through the software remotely.
(11:03):
The ex employee replies and says, you know what, I'll
do it, but pay me for what I'm doing half
a day's pay for the help. The boss replies saying
they're not happy, and argues that we're not gonna pay you.
It's only going to take less than half an hour,
so he shouldn't have to pay the ex employee for
(11:23):
any sort of extra time. He also, the boss goes
on to say, we work together for a long time.
Can't you just do this for me? And of course
these text messages made it to Ben Askins, who was
not impressed with the exchange, uploaded it online and it's
quickly gone viral, amassing hundreds of thousands of views, lots
(11:43):
of engagement, and a lot of people weighing in on
the conversation, saying all of this could have been avoided
if the employer hadn't fired a viable and valuable employee.
Our last story, well, maybe we'll i'd be able to
get to a third or fifth one. A viral video
is going is becoming very popular. It features two anglers
(12:06):
arguing on something called the Peace River in Punta Gorda, Florida.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
The irony about this next viral.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
Story that point, is that it takes place on Peace
River and the exchange between these two anglers is anything
but peaceful, and their exchange has now garnered millions of
views across social media, especially on Facebook. So what happens
is there's an incident and it's it's now prompted an
(12:35):
investigation by Punta Gorda Police or fat point as you say,
and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. The video
captures the two boaters arguing about lights while fishing under
the US forty one bridge. So they're trying to kind
of see who has the right of way, who's going
to go it's a it's a low bridge. They don't
want to crash into each other. The argument escalates when
(12:58):
one of the boaters, named Brock, the names are perfectly
Florida man Brock climbs aboard the other person's boat, and
that person's name is Gauge. So we have Brock on
one side, Gauge on the other. Very millennial right, Brock
(13:20):
climbs aboard Gauge's boat, and what appears to be an
act of river rage. Arguing commences. There's some shoving, there's
some finger pointing. I don't know if any runners were thrown,
but the lang probably, but the language was just loud
enough and just aggressive enough where that the police got involved.
(13:43):
The fisherman's village in that area announced that it has
now severed ties with Brock in response to the video,
and they severed ties because the video has been uploaded
and has gone viral. Brock's attorney spoke out and said
that he wanted to dress the video because the video
has now caused Brock's business to be destroyed, his reputation
(14:07):
to be damaged, and his family, including his wife and mother,
to be harassed and even threatened. So I think the
moral of this story is, don't name your kids Brock
or Gauge.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Look, I'm not gonna say anything about anyone's name since
my parents named me Morris.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
I know I was named after my father.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
But still that doesn't sound like you'd be fighting on
thish though.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Look, I've had to fight over my name. Yes, yes,
it looks. I've told people all the time. When I
was growing up, it was Morse the Cat, because back
then Morrisey cat commercials they were a big thing. It
was Morris and Moose. It was a book called Morris
and Moose Goes to School. When I got to high school,
it was Morris Day in the time. Everyone thought, and
everyone would say it like they're the first person ever
(14:51):
saying it's like.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Ah, Morris Day at the time, you stupid? Do you
think that's actual? Like witty or something.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
But we don't know if the root of the argument
is over the names. But we do know that it
is now turned into family members getting involved in businesses
being destroyed. So be careful what you do out there
in public. As you often say, mo don't film your
crimes because they can go viral. This last story I'll
do very quickly. It has to do with something that's
ironic given that we're now on camera. There's a bride
(15:21):
who got married a year ago, and during her wedding preparation,
she told all of her bride's maids, her mom, she's
not wearing makeup. She decided, I'm not wearing makeup that's
not my thing. I've never worn makeup. I'm a chapstick girl,
vasoline girl.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
I like my skin.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
I don't have any imperfections, not out of vanity, but
just out of just how she feels about herself, her
own self confidence. Well, her wedding has now gone viral
this year, one year later on TikTok, because she spoke
out about her decision not to wear makeup. She just
did a quick video and said, hey, a year ago
(15:57):
I got married, I didn't wear makeup.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
It was my choice.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
And she has gotten over twenty five thousand comments, many
of them positive and affirming, but.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Of course trolls.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
There are the trolls who are trying to tear down
her decision by saying that if they were getting married,
of course they would have done differently, and that because
they feel that way, others should too.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Oh boy, the trolls, These trolls, they're.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
There, They're not under bridges where they should be.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
No, I got some thoughts for them before I close
out the show tonight.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
But hey, Tiffany Hops, can you hang around for a
moment because this next story, the next segment, I want
you to weigh in on. Because kids under sixteen will
no longer be allowed to live stream on Instagram without consent.
I think it's a little too little, too late, because
the horse is already out of that barn and there're
too we'll talk about it too, We'll talk It's Later
with mo Kelly Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and YouTube.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty and YouTube.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
It's Later with mo Kelly. And let's talk a little
bit more about social media. And I had Tiffany Hobbs,
who you can also hear here on CAFI Saturdays from
five to seven pm, want to remind you about that.
I want her to stay around for this. But kids
under sixteen will no longer be allowed to live stream
on Instagram without consent. Instagram users under sixteen won't be
(17:25):
able to live stream or unblur nudity in direct messages
they've received without parental approval. And this is because Meta
said it was extending safeguards for users under eighteen to
both Facebook and Messenger. And you may remember Meta recently
launched his teen account program for Instagram back in September
(17:46):
to supposedly my inflection to give parents more options to
supervise their children's online activity because they were getting cussed
out basically for allowing so much stuff on their social
media platform. But under these changes, teens under sixteen are
blocked from using Instagram Live without parental permission. They also
need permission to turn off the feature that blurs images
(18:10):
containing suspected nudity and direct messages. I can appreciate the attempt,
I don't know how sincere it is. I don't know
how effective it will be if only because kids know
how to circumvent all these things. You know, It's like, okay,
so you have so sort of social media block on Instagram,
(18:34):
Well they can go to porn Hub with the same device.
You know, you're not really stopping anything. And I know
Instagram wants to limit its liability and its criticism, but
it's not stopping any of them. And I know most
kids who have Instagram have four or five different accounts.
They have burner accounts, they have adults have burner accounts,
so you know the kids have burner accounts. My question
to you, Tiffany, is this does this really mean anything
(18:55):
to anyone anywhere?
Speaker 3 (18:57):
No, it is ceremonial.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
It is performative, and it is necessary for Meta to
try and keep their reputation or try and at least
establish a reputation as being a safe place for miners
to congregate.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
But they should have done this years ago, years ago.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
It not at all a parallel, So don't get me wrong,
but it feels like when seat belts were created, how
many crashes had there been or accidents had there been
prior to that where children and others were harmed or
killed and then seat belts were instituted, and sure it helped.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
But we can say at least there's data to support
that seat belts do save lives and they're not performative.
Where this is, I don't know if this like put
it this way, I don't know if since seat belts
is in actual law, that this is actually changing either
the company's behavior or is actually protecting anyone.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
I haven't see that data, and.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
I don't think we will see that for a long time.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
It's going to take years of measuring the data to
be able to see if it actually makes any sort
of difference. But just like you said in the interim,
what other programs, what other platforms will kids then go
to to be able to use things inappropriately or access
things that may be safeguarded on Instagram, they'll just go
(20:26):
around it.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Don't ask me how I know this, but I know
that I can just in my natural searching of Instagram.
You can find nudity in people's feeds. It doesn't have
to be a direct message. It could be a so
and so's account happens to be a model or something.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
You see it all the time. It's like, that's nudity
and it's not censored.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
It's definitely not banned and clearly available to anyone who
has an Instagram account.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
And the interesting thing about Meta is that if you've
ever try to report something as an impropriety, whether it's
sexually explicit or it encourages violence, you know exactly that
most times, nine point nine out of ten, your report
will be rejected and the content will stay and be
(21:19):
validated as unoffensive or appropriate. Therefore, like you're saying, you
can access this sort of content at any turn on Instagram,
at any turn on Meta, especially if Meta deems it
as being appropriate. I've seen images that are of births
(21:42):
just in your just regular feeds. Someone posts something and
you have nudity there, or you see someone breastfeed.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
It doesn't have to be sexual.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
If it's not sexualized, then often it stays. But like
you said, there are other ways in which kids can
absolutely consume inappropriate imagery, and just because it's taken out
of the private messages doesn't mean that they then won't
go to their text messages. I also, on the other side,
appreciate Meta for trying something, but it does feel like
(22:10):
too little.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Too late.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
It's Later with Mo Kelly, Tiffany Hobbs, Yes of the
Viral Load and also Tiffany Hobbs Saturdays from five to
