Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
kf I AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
It's social media, Facebook, It's extract Kidney.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Viral load, viral load.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
The viral load.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Y all right, it's time for the viral load. I'm
very happy to be back, and I have four great
stories to share with you, starting with the first story,
which is going viral all over social media, and it
takes place right here in our own backyard. Yes, you
(00:53):
may have heard of it. MacArthur Park, right over there,
near Koreatown, near downtown Los Ange Angelus. Well, in previous years,
MacArthur Park has been known for a lot of not
so savory things. But a couple of artists have taken
liberty to try and rejuvenate MacArthur Park in their own way.
(01:16):
What did they do that went viral? Well, there's a
statue in MacArthur Park. It's a statue of Prometheus. And
that statue is usually unadorned. It's all concrete. It's there.
It sometimes has graffiti on it, sometimes has other things,
but it's a prominent fixture in MacArthur Park.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
These two artists.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
One name sc Merrill and the other named Wildlife, collaborated
to upgrade the Prometheus statue. And what did their upgrade include?
Not paint, not some sort of fancy buffing or shining. No,
what they decided to do who was give Prometheus an
(02:02):
oversized meth pipe. Yes, they put in the hands of
the statue of Prometheus in MacArthur Park a glass meth pipe.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
And why did they do that?
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Well, they decided to also give the marquee or plaque
on in the front of Prometheus's statue an upgrade of
its own, which explains why they put that meth pipe there.
And the new plaque reads Prometheus, ancient Greek deity god
a foresight, fire and crafty Council. He is best known
(02:43):
for defying the Olympian gods by taking fire from them
and giving it to humanity for the use of ventanyl crack,
cocaine and methanphetamines. So these two artists s C and Wildlife,
in their collaboration, have gone wildly viral all over social
(03:06):
media for their modification of this Prometheus statue in MacArthur Park.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
If you're in the area.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
And I don't know why you would be, but let's
say you're stopping over at Langer's Deli, or something to
that effect. Go stop by MacArthur Park and see if
you can get a picture of Prometheus before the city
undoubtedly strips all of the modifications away. For the second story,
(03:33):
for all of you who are into those crafty coffee drinks,
your lattes with all the frills, and all these specialty
drinks that come around this time of year, Duncan Donuts
has a new drink. And not only do they have
a new drink, and they often debut drinks throughout the
(03:55):
year like other establishments to but this drink, this specific
drink this time of year, has gone viral because of
the ingredients in this concoction, and I'll tell you a
bit about them. First of all, you should know that
if you decide to get this drink, and it is
(04:15):
called the Sugar Cookie Latte, it's going to cost you
fifteen dollars.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Oh word, o word, fifteen dollars.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
And let me tell you what's in this drink before
I ask others in the studio if they might be
interested in partaking. The ingredients include in a grande size,
so this is sixteen ounces, three pumps of sugar cookie,
two pumps of toasted white chocolate, three shots of cream,
(04:50):
three blueberry shots, cookie butter, cold foam cookie crumble, and
atop all of this, just for the icing on the
so to speak, caramel drizzle.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Steph, you are a lover of sweet things.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
You yourself would be considered a sweet thing if I
could say so. Would you be entra Oh what's tiss
the season? Would you be interested in drinking this dunkin
Donuts sugar cookie latte?
Speaker 5 (05:21):
I was on board until you until all the ingredients
got put together, because it's like that's that sounds like
legitimately like a sugar cookie, like a cake. Yeah, something
I'd have to drink throughout the entire day, not in
a sitting.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
In one sitting, you are ingesting.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
I believe it's set over twelve hundred calories. Yeah, that's
more than your average meal. And that's half of the
of the calories you're supposed to get throughout the entirety
of your day in one drink. And people aren't just
going for this drink, Steph. No, it's dunk Donuts. They're
(06:01):
getting a donut as well. They're getting two of these drinks,
or they are getting a larger size, which then takes
them well into the fourteen sixteen hundred calorie range. Again,
let me tell you a little bit about these ingredients
in case you are interested. Three pumps of sugar cookie
whatever that is, two pumps of toasted white chocolate, three
(06:24):
shots of cream, three blueberry shots, cookie butter, cold foam,
cookie crumble, and caramel drizzle. And that is the new
Dunkin Donuts sugar cookie latte. If you want to swap
out ingredients and do the non dairy version, you might
(06:44):
shave off a few calories, but this is still absolutely
going to send you probably into some sort of diabetic.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Coma no nutch.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
When we come back, just as a little tease, I'll
tell you a little bit about something that's going on
in the South region Southeastern region of the United States.
Here's a hint it's in Florida. But I'll tell you
what's going on in Florida and why you might want
to have one of these events in your community, but
(07:20):
with caution. And then I'll also tell you who has
joined threads. Someone made a big announcement that they're that
they left x slash Twitter and they have taken their
talents over to threads.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
You mean other than me, other than you mo Kelly.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
But someone you'll definitely be interested in following if you
haven't followed them already. Before we go, though, Mo, would
you drink that Dunkin Donuts sugar cookie latte?
Speaker 3 (07:48):
No? No, no, I don't know if you heard earlier
in the show, I'm not a coffee guy.
Speaker 6 (07:51):
I'm not into that latte vente grande chook a late
trinchet rashet.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
No, I'm not into that stuff.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
I'm not a coffee drinker, and I'm definitely not of
you know, a specialty coffee drinker.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Fifteen bucks that I'm saving. Correct.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Yes, that's it for the first half of the Viral Load, Mo,
but we have more to come.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Now it's tuning Myra Mode Tiffany Live on Campy Lisa
with moo Kelly.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
She'll talk about the time.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
On social media.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
The Viral Loade with Tiffany Hubbs can't sixty. It's Lab
with Mo Kelly Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Let's
go to the second portion of the Viral Load with
Tiffany Hops.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Let's do it so in the last segment, I did
give a little tease that the next story, this next
viral story takes place in the southeastern region of the
United States, and that area is known for stories that
go viral.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
I'll give you a while.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Guess, or I'll give you a couple seconds to give
yourselves a while. Guess what place am I talking about? Yes,
you guessed it, Florida. Well, what happened in Florida? What
happened this time? And what went viral? Something called a
flying golf parade. And it is as absurd as it sounds. No,
(09:32):
no golf carts were taking flight, literally, except for the
fact that this story does in fact end in an accident.
And I will preface the story by saying that anyone
who was injured in this accident is fine today because
what I'm going to tell you maybe.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
A little upsetting.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
So Florida, there's a neighborhood in Florida that's gone viral
for a social event that went horribly wrong. TikTok video,
now viewed over one million times, was taken from the
point of view of someone watching a parade, and the
parade was of golf carts.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
So what this neighborhood does.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
It's a subdivision is that they encourage their residents to
get to know each other by participating in a golf
cart parade. People adorning their golf carts with all sorts
of things, lights you can imagine, right, and people get
in the golf carts and they're supposed to all go
the same direction, because that's what a parade is, a
(10:36):
line of cars or vehicles going in the same direction.
But no, not in this area, not in Florida. They
had to add a little something to it. So what
we see in the video are two golf carts coming
towards each other from opposite ends of this street or
kind of driveway area, and there are people on both
(10:59):
sides watching this quote unquote parade. You see the two
golf carts coming at each other, and you see them
narrowly miss each other. At the last second, both swerve
out of the other's.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Is this intentional? Is it like golf cart Chicken's.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
It looks like it's golf cart chicken. But no, it's
not intentional. They're just really bad drivers. So you see
these two golf carts first on video, again, they narrowly
miss each other, and then you see one of the
golf carts that's still coming towards this person who's filming.
You see this golf cart approaching slowly. These are golf carts.
(11:39):
They're going eight miles per hour or so. You see
this golf cart inching towards something that's just slightly out
of the frame, and then another golf cart comes into frame,
and it's like the entire thing is slowed down, and
you're saying to yourself, this isn't gonna happen. They're not
gonna crack of course not. They're gonna move just like
(12:02):
the others did. But no, that's not what happened. We
see both golf carts inch towards each other. And the
thing about it is that these golf carts don't have
young people on them. There aren't a bunch of teenagers
on these golf carts. No, they are elderly people on
these golf carts.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Do they not see each other?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
H is that? Are you making an ageist?
Speaker 6 (12:27):
No, I'm trying to figure out why they needed to
swerve at the last second if they saw each.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Other, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
And that's part of why this goes viral.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Because you're watching moone, You're going this is they're not
gonna hit each other. They can't come on, they have
all this time where they're gonna avoid each other.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
No, these two golf carts.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Smack right into each other and one of the drivers
goes head first out of her golf cart, presumably a
woman out of her golf cart, and lands on top
of the other golf cart, and a bunch of people
are there filming and everyone is stunned. Fortunately, the woman
who was propelled out of her golf cart did in
(13:09):
fact get up. She's the one I prefaced by saying
she's okay, but it does look.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Bad, Okay, I have the video right now.
Speaker 6 (13:18):
So the initial two swerved and they missed each other,
and then there was a secondary collision.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Yes, head on.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Head on collision. At eight miles per hour if which is.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
A lot, okay, I think it might be more than
eight miles an hour. They're making some pretty good time
down the street. It's a golf and it's a development street.
It's not like a full size street. They got taken
out some people's.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
They could have And you want to go again, there's
no way. There's no way they're gonna hit it. You're
watching this thing. There's no way they're gonna hit each
other and they do. Oh they do, and they do,
and it's Florida. And fortunately again there were no major
injuries sustain the golf carts all were put back on
their sides, right side it up or whatnot, right side up,
(14:03):
and they went on to continue their flying golf Parade,
which is an annual event again used to encourage socialization,
hopefully with better driving next year. So no guarantees, no guarantees.
And you might want to do that in your own
development mode.
Speaker 6 (14:19):
And you know it's no there are some people in
our development who have those golf carts. It's not really
necessary because it's it's big enough to walk. But some
people still have golf carts and they fly around in
them as if they're at Disneyland on Autopia.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
It's like Florida Rulette. It is Russian, it is.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
But you know, my car is going to beat their
golf cart, how much I do know? You see, my
car is going to run them. Mother, father's over.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
I've seen your car, and I don't think that's a
proper way to socialize.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
MO, don't run over your neighbors.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
There's some of my neighbors I don't like I just
don't like because you know, we have hoa's, we have rules,
and I'm the guy who's following like all the rules
in real life. These other people are not following the rules.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Oh you're one of those.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
But no, but they want to selectively enforce rules, and
that's what pisses me off. Don't talk to me about
not washing my car in my driveway when all the
other fools are not following all the other rules.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Okay, that's all I'm saying. Okay, so you want to
run people over because of it is what you're.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
If need be a push clumbs to shove. Yes, god it.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Well, speaking of neighbors, you have a new neighbor on threads,
mo Kelly, you do, and that neighbor is none other
than author extraordinary icon of all literary things, Stephen King himself.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
We've never lived in the same neighborhood. I wouldn't call
him a neighbor, which is on the same platforms.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Well, you're in. You're a Threads neighbor. You're as good as.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
I'm on Threads.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
I'm on making cookies, truth, soil, truth, soil, truth, social.
Speaker 6 (15:54):
Social, I am on Blue Sky, I am bumping around
there or.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Blue Ski as I was called wrong Blue Ski. Yeah,
you get off my lawn. So Stephen King has has
publicly left x slash Twitter in kind of a rage
of like paising glory. He's no longer associated with x
slash Twitter and is now on Threads. And in the
(16:18):
six days that Stephen King has been on Threads, he
has gained six hundred and.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Fifty five thousand.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Followers, which when I looked at that number felt kind
of low.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Well, but it's to scale.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
It's to scale.
Speaker 6 (16:34):
Yeah, he's not going to have like six million like
whatever he had on Twitter slash.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
X not yet.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
This is my problem with Threads.
Speaker 6 (16:42):
If you've been on it for any length of time,
you realize that everyone's just asking dumb ass questions for engagement. Yeah,
just like, how so you could fit the whole solar
system in between the Earth and the moon.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Yeah? Try Google?
Speaker 6 (16:53):
Yeah, you know, why is it people like dogs overcats?
They just asked me these random questions in the hope
that they get engagement, and there might be a payment
program behind her that get more followers. And I don't
like how threads has evolved in that direction. What I
did like about Twitter slash X was that you could
get the latest news. Once upon a time you had
(17:14):
legitimate news outlets, breaking news on Twitter, and you also
could find when I say, celebrities, notable people, and you
knew that you were talking to that person or they're gatekeeper.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
But directly, yeah, absolutely, you don't have that on Threads,
you don't. But we do have Stephen King. So there's
a light at the end of this tunnel. And Stephen
King has posted many things, including so far, which have
all gone viral because it's Stephen King and because of
the nature of what he's posting or sharing. His announcement
for his new book, which is called Never Flinch. He's
(17:49):
also shared Stephen King on Threads that sixty eight of
his books have been removed from schools in Florida. There's
Florida again. He has criticized former president current elect President
Trump and Trump's cabinet picks. He's also criticized Stephen King
the NFL, and he even shared a dad joke. Would
(18:12):
you like to hear it?
Speaker 3 (18:13):
It's going to be real bad, but go ahead.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Why do seagulls fly over the sea.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
Because if they flew over the bay, they'd be bay goals.
Speaker 6 (18:26):
I knew it was going to be bad. I'll say,
like if they flew up the land with it, be
land goals. So I don't I don't know. You're laughing
all by yourself.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
I'm gonna follow.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
And media.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
So for a writer, you think he'd be better than that.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
And he said, of course to close out that specific post,
tip your waitress on the way out. I love Stephen King.
I'm gonna I followed him immediately. You can to at
Stephen King on threads women.
Speaker 6 (18:54):
I have a question. Yes, you said that his books
had been banned in Florida. That's what he says.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Were they like in high school libraries or something?
Speaker 4 (19:01):
He doesn't He doesn't clarify where or how. He just
shares the number. And he was proud of it. He
was proud of it. So I imagine, mo, because you
do garner engagement, you can post to him, or you
can't say, tweet to him, thread to him, thread him.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
That's weird.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
At him, at him, thread him. You can thread Stephen
King if you like and ask him that yourself.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Okay, well, I thought you just have the answer.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
I don't think all the answers.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
Now you're turning into threads where you're just asking these
inane questions.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Bagels and really good gumbo.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
Gumbo by the way, Oh yeah, Twallah had great gumbo,
great gumbo, so good, so good. And I can't tell
you the answer. But I found out more about Mark
Runner's dating history to the news.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
I can't too.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
I can't have to go to where I know it all.
I found more.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
We'll talk off air, I know we will. Yes, we
will word word.

trinchet rashet.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
No, I'm not into that stuff.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
I'm not a coffee drinker, and I'm definitely not of
you know, a specialty coffee drinker.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Fifteen bucks that I'm saving. Correct.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Yes, that's it for the first half of the Viral Load, Mo,
but we have more to come.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Now it's tuning Myra Mode Tiffany Live on Campy Lisa
with moo Kelly.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
She'll talk about the time.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
On social media.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
The Viral Loade with Tiffany Hubbs can't sixty. It's Lab
with Mo Kelly Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Let's
go to the second portion of the Viral Load with
Tiffany Hops.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Let's do it so in the last segment, I did
give a little tease that the next story, this next
viral story takes place in the southeastern region of the
United States, and that area is known for stories that
go viral.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
I'll give you a while.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Guess, or I'll give you a couple seconds to give
yourselves a while. Guess what place am I talking about? Yes,
you guessed it, Florida. Well, what happened in Florida? What
happened this time? And what went viral? Something called a
flying golf parade. And it is as absurd as it sounds. No,
(09:32):
no golf carts were taking flight, literally, except for the
fact that this story does in fact end in an accident.
And I will preface the story by saying that anyone
who was injured in this accident is fine today because
what I'm going to tell you maybe.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
A little upsetting.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
So Florida, there's a neighborhood in Florida that's gone viral
for a social event that went horribly wrong. TikTok video,
now viewed over one million times, was taken from the
point of view of someone watching a parade, and the
parade was of golf carts.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
So what this neighborhood does.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
It's a subdivision is that they encourage their residents to
get to know each other by participating in a golf
cart parade. People adorning their golf carts with all sorts
of things, lights you can imagine, right, and people get
in the golf carts and they're supposed to all go
the same direction, because that's what a parade is, a
(10:36):
line of cars or vehicles going in the same direction.
But no, not in this area, not in Florida. They
had to add a little something to it. So what
we see in the video are two golf carts coming
towards each other from opposite ends of this street or
kind of driveway area, and there are people on both
(10:59):
sides watching this quote unquote parade. You see the two
golf carts coming at each other, and you see them
narrowly miss each other. At the last second, both swerve
out of the other's.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Is this intentional? Is it like golf cart Chicken's.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
It looks like it's golf cart chicken. But no, it's
not intentional. They're just really bad drivers. So you see
these two golf carts first on video, again, they narrowly
miss each other, and then you see one of the
golf carts that's still coming towards this person who's filming.
You see this golf cart approaching slowly. These are golf carts.
(11:39):
They're going eight miles per hour or so. You see
this golf cart inching towards something that's just slightly out
of the frame, and then another golf cart comes into frame,
and it's like the entire thing is slowed down, and
you're saying to yourself, this isn't gonna happen. They're not
gonna crack of course not. They're gonna move just like
(12:02):
the others did. But no, that's not what happened. We
see both golf carts inch towards each other. And the
thing about it is that these golf carts don't have
young people on them. There aren't a bunch of teenagers
on these golf carts. No, they are elderly people on
these golf carts.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Do they not see each other?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
H is that? Are you making an ageist?
Speaker 6 (12:27):
No, I'm trying to figure out why they needed to
swerve at the last second if they saw each.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Other, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
And that's part of why this goes viral.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Because you're watching moone, You're going this is they're not
gonna hit each other. They can't come on, they have
all this time where they're gonna avoid each other.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
No, these two golf carts.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Smack right into each other and one of the drivers
goes head first out of her golf cart, presumably a
woman out of her golf cart, and lands on top
of the other golf cart, and a bunch of people
are there filming and everyone is stunned. Fortunately, the woman
who was propelled out of her golf cart did in
(13:09):
fact get up. She's the one I prefaced by saying
she's okay, but it does look.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Bad, Okay, I have the video right now.
Speaker 6 (13:18):
So the initial two swerved and they missed each other,
and then there was a secondary collision.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Yes, head on.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Head on collision. At eight miles per hour if which is.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
A lot, okay, I think it might be more than
eight miles an hour. They're making some pretty good time
down the street. It's a golf and it's a development street.
It's not like a full size street. They got taken
out some people's.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
They could have And you want to go again, there's
no way. There's no way they're gonna hit it. You're
watching this thing. There's no way they're gonna hit each
other and they do. Oh they do, and they do,
and it's Florida. And fortunately again there were no major
injuries sustain the golf carts all were put back on
their sides, right side it up or whatnot, right side up,
(14:03):
and they went on to continue their flying golf Parade,
which is an annual event again used to encourage socialization,
hopefully with better driving next year. So no guarantees, no guarantees.
And you might want to do that in your own
development mode.
Speaker 6 (14:19):
And you know it's no there are some people in
our development who have those golf carts. It's not really
necessary because it's it's big enough to walk. But some
people still have golf carts and they fly around in
them as if they're at Disneyland on Autopia.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
It's like Florida Rulette. It is Russian, it is.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
But you know, my car is going to beat their
golf cart, how much I do know? You see, my
car is going to run them. Mother, father's over.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
I've seen your car, and I don't think that's a
proper way to socialize.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
MO, don't run over your neighbors.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
There's some of my neighbors I don't like I just
don't like because you know, we have hoa's, we have rules,
and I'm the guy who's following like all the rules
in real life. These other people are not following the rules.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Oh you're one of those.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
But no, but they want to selectively enforce rules, and
that's what pisses me off. Don't talk to me about
not washing my car in my driveway when all the
other fools are not following all the other rules.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Okay, that's all I'm saying. Okay, so you want to
run people over because of it is what you're.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
If need be a push clumbs to shove. Yes, god it.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Well, speaking of neighbors, you have a new neighbor on threads,
mo Kelly, you do, and that neighbor is none other
than author extraordinary icon of all literary things, Stephen King himself.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
We've never lived in the same neighborhood. I wouldn't call
him a neighbor, which is on the same platforms.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Well, you're in. You're a Threads neighbor. You're as good as.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
I'm on Threads.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
I'm on making cookies, truth, soil, truth, soil, truth, social.
Speaker 6 (15:54):
Social, I am on Blue Sky, I am bumping around
there or.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Blue Ski as I was called wrong Blue Ski. Yeah,
you get off my lawn. So Stephen King has has
publicly left x slash Twitter in kind of a rage
of like paising glory. He's no longer associated with x
slash Twitter and is now on Threads. And in the
(16:18):
six days that Stephen King has been on Threads, he
has gained six hundred and.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Fifty five thousand.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Followers, which when I looked at that number felt kind
of low.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Well, but it's to scale.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
It's to scale.
Speaker 6 (16:34):
Yeah, he's not going to have like six million like
whatever he had on Twitter slash.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
X not yet.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
This is my problem with Threads.
Speaker 6 (16:42):
If you've been on it for any length of time,
you realize that everyone's just asking dumb ass questions for engagement. Yeah,
just like, how so you could fit the whole solar
system in between the Earth and the moon.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Yeah? Try Google?
Speaker 6 (16:53):
Yeah, you know, why is it people like dogs overcats?
They just asked me these random questions in the hope
that they get engagement, and there might be a payment
program behind her that get more followers. And I don't
like how threads has evolved in that direction. What I
did like about Twitter slash X was that you could
get the latest news. Once upon a time you had
(17:14):
legitimate news outlets, breaking news on Twitter, and you also
could find when I say, celebrities, notable people, and you
knew that you were talking to that person or they're gatekeeper.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
But directly, yeah, absolutely, you don't have that on Threads,
you don't. But we do have Stephen King. So there's
a light at the end of this tunnel. And Stephen
King has posted many things, including so far, which have
all gone viral because it's Stephen King and because of
the nature of what he's posting or sharing. His announcement
for his new book, which is called Never Flinch. He's
(17:49):
also shared Stephen King on Threads that sixty eight of
his books have been removed from schools in Florida. There's
Florida again. He has criticized former president current elect President
Trump and Trump's cabinet picks. He's also criticized Stephen King
the NFL, and he even shared a dad joke. Would
(18:12):
you like to hear it?
Speaker 3 (18:13):
It's going to be real bad, but go ahead.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Why do seagulls fly over the sea.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
Because if they flew over the bay, they'd be bay goals.
Speaker 6 (18:26):
I knew it was going to be bad. I'll say,
like if they flew up the land with it, be
land goals. So I don't I don't know. You're laughing
all by yourself.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
I'm gonna follow.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
And media.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
So for a writer, you think he'd be better than that.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
And he said, of course to close out that specific post,
tip your waitress on the way out. I love Stephen King.
I'm gonna I followed him immediately. You can to at
Stephen King on threads women.
Speaker 6 (18:54):
I have a question. Yes, you said that his books
had been banned in Florida. That's what he says.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Were they like in high school libraries or something?
Speaker 4 (19:01):
He doesn't He doesn't clarify where or how. He just
shares the number. And he was proud of it. He
was proud of it. So I imagine, mo, because you
do garner engagement, you can post to him, or you
can't say, tweet to him, thread to him, thread him.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
That's weird.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
At him, at him, thread him. You can thread Stephen
King if you like and ask him that yourself.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Okay, well, I thought you just have the answer.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
I don't think all the answers.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
Now you're turning into threads where you're just asking these
inane questions.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Bagels and really good gumbo.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
Gumbo by the way, Oh yeah, Twallah had great gumbo,
great gumbo, so good, so good. And I can't tell
you the answer. But I found out more about Mark
Runner's dating history to the news.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
I can't too.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
I can't have to go to where I know it all.
I found more.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
We'll talk off air, I know we will. Yes, we
will word word.
