so you're not getting So if I put the crown on,
I can have some food.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Correct.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
H Gotta think about this. That's kind kind of one
of those Jack Benny situations. Your money or your life,
isn't it? Yes, it is a trade off. Life is
about decisions. Wow, and tasty in your mouth with the
crown on. I don't know if I would to say
no man speaks that way to me. Nick Pouliochini is
here early and this has something to do with what's
(01:49):
up with Nick, and it has everything to do with
Burger King. He's in the studio right now rearranging food. Nick,
you're gonna tell us what the food is.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
I'll just okay so today and I'll cover it more.
You gotta get behind twelve a so other camera file.
Let me stay hold one.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Too, pretty well, I'm up here. There we go, There
we go.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
So today is the premiere of the Monster menu and
also the new kids meal at Burger King, so we're
going to cover all of that. But there's a Jack
O'Lantern burger, You've got a special Franken Sunday something like that.
So yeah, we got all the goodies from Burger King.
And also I've got some goodies from Marvel Entertainment thanks
to Joan Soda for Marvel Zombies.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
So we'll be as well, all right, So when do
we eat?
Speaker 3 (02:39):
As soon as I get this stuff set up for
you give me to give me two.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Back and two, yeah, two and two, Chuck, Woolory. We
also have an actual show that we're going to do tonight.
We have to talk about that swimmer got bit by
a shark off the coast of Catalina. I have no sympathy.
Hope we lost four toes. Yeah, okay, I just do.
And Metro's going to reach it's tapped to exit program.
I didn't know it itd stopped. I thought it was
(03:04):
a rousing success. I thought it was getting all these
fair jumpers. I thought it was fighting crime. I thought
it was making Metros safer for you, me and everyone else.
Just not so they're restarting it. It's not clear why
they stopped it. We'll get into that at the bottom
of the hour. And you know, since it is still
early in the school year and we always have this
ongoing conversation about whether college is a scam, well, I
(03:26):
don't think that some people do. We're going to talk
about the most expensive universities in the nation, in the
whole last country, the most expensive ones. That's going to
close out the hour, and Chris Woolsey's going to join
us in the studio. He's going to tell us what's
available on the Watch Free plus app with Visio. He
has some free terror titles as we get closer to
(03:48):
closer to Halloween, and also some free action flicks on
that visio Watch Free Plus app that's at the top
of the second hour. And I didn't know. I don't
know if he does. But Colonel Sanders, I don't know
what his family tree looks like. But there's a guy
out there who's claiming to be Colonel Sanders great great
great nephew, and he's threatening to go public with all
(04:11):
the secrets of the family and the seasonings and the
seven herbs and spices if the family does not acknowledge
him or something like that.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Are you gonna tell us all about the Sanders plantation
and what went on there?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Oh? Well, I would like to know. And if you
don't know that there is an urban urban myth, I'll
just put it that way that Colonel Sanders did not
actually create the recipe for Kentucky Fried chicken, but actually
got it from a black woman. What yes, dead serious?
What is left to believe in? I cannot confirm or deny.
(04:47):
I'm saying I've lived on this earth long enough to
have heard it from a number of sources. Now it
may be an old wives tale, just maybe one of
those urban myths, but it's something that has permeated the
I'll say, the legacy of Kentucky Fried Chicken. It's gone
off for the longest, so maybe this guy knows something
about it. I can't believe you defile the memory of
the Colonel.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Well, I defile all Confederates. So when you put it
like that, okay, I mean he is Confederate.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Yes, I'm not being funny. If he is, I don't
think he knows that many herbs and spices. That's just
my opinion. You could be right. We're going to talk
about the Colonel before the show's over, and we have
to also well, you know, we have to figure out
what's going to happen with our government since it's going
to be shut down in the next what is its
ten ten? Couple hours? Yeah, a couple hours.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I'm quite sure Mark Runner will have reports on that
over the course of the evening.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
For me, it doesn't matter whose fault it is. All
we know is the government will be shut down, and
you know, I'm going to be doing Spectrum News tomorrow
morning at six in the morning. I mean, gosh, I
don't know why I said yes to give I know
my show's gonna end at ten o'clock tonight and then
I'm going to be a Spectrum News have to get
up for something to do Spectrum News. I'm in studio
(06:03):
and they're going to ask me about the shutdown, and
I'm going to say tomorrow what I'm going to say. Now.
The question they're going to ask me is whose fault
is it? Who's going to suffer because of it? I said,
other than Americans suffering for it. The fault is neither
here nor there. Here's why, because we're going to have
another fifty eleven thousand catastrophes, controversies, problems between now and
(06:27):
the midterms. People will not remember, people will not care.
It will not make a difference. And also when we're
talking about Congress, people may hate Congress. In other words,
the approval rating for Congress as a body may be
at an all time low, but people buy and large
like their Congress person. How do I know this because
(06:48):
like seventy five percent of them always get re elected,
So it doesn't change our voting habits. Long story short,
this government shutdown is not going to be the death
now for either the Republican or the Democrats. They said
the same thing about the doge firings. Okay, that seemed
like that was forty five years ago, and it was
only like four months ago. And see how that is
(07:10):
receded into the background. This is the same thing. If
the shutdown goes for one day, one week, one month,
it will not be determinative about what happens politically come November.
That's a November of twenty twenty six, as a matter
of fact, So we have a long way to go.
There's my politics for the night. We're going to get
(07:31):
that out of the way, but the shutdown is looming.
Mark Ronner will have updates throughout the evening in case
that there is a late agreement. It doesn't look like it,
but we will be following it and covering it. It's
later with Moe Kelly kf I am six forty. We
want to talk about sharks and swimmers in Catalina when
we come back. We're live everywhere on YouTube, and yes,
you need to tune into YouTube because it's a burger
(07:53):
King Knight. We're all kings here except for Mark Ronner,
who refuses to wear his crown, so he's not going.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
To Well, you're the king of KFI Mo, I wish
that were true. I wish that were true.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I could tell you some things I'll get fired though, No,
I wish that were true. Keep your scepter away from me.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Woo.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Who's you're listening to?
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Later with Moe Kelly on Demand from KFI A M
six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
KFI Mister Kelly were live on YouTube. I think you
want to tune into YouTube tonight because we're gonna be
doing a lot of weird stuff and it has a
visual element to it, a lot of weird stuff at
mister Kelly on YouTube. M R M O K E
L L Y joined the mo Migos in the Motown chat.
(08:51):
We're a sponsored tonight by Burger King and Nick Pouliochinny.
I don't know who provided the food, whether it was
Burger King or Nick. What's up with Dick provided it?
And I'm going to be having in just a moment
before we get back this show, a jack o Lantern
whopper with bacon and cheese. I don't know how it tastes,
but it sounds awful, Damn good. It has an orange
(09:16):
bun in black sesme tease. That's racist? Is that right?
Why you gotta have like black sesame seas because of
the best Why no, once you go never mind? Right, Okay,
let's talk about the man swimming near Catalina and got
bitten by a shark. A man was swimming off the
coast of Catalina early today and was bitten by a shark.
(09:37):
Imagine that a shark in the ocean fighting people. Who
would a thucket. The swimmer believed to be in his
early fifties. What do you mean believed to be? Do
you know the man's age or not? But if your
early fifties, and I'd like to think of myself as
somewhat close to the early fifties, stop it, Mark. I
(09:58):
didn't say it was early fifties. I was around, I
was near. I was in the neighborhood of the early fifties.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Hey, you're wearing the crown. You get to declare anything
you want. It's good to be the king.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Uh huh. I am not going to be in any
ocean swimming for miles. I mean, hats off to this
man or toes off. At this point, he was twelve
miles off the coast of Catalina doing a long distance
swim from Catalina to the mainland in other words, swimming
(10:27):
from Catalina, Let's to the port of Long Beach, Okay,
when he was bitten on the foot by a shark.
According to the story, it says, a three to four
foot white shark. Why do they put race in this?
I don't I don't get this. Why do you always
get these stories when they put race in it. I've
heard of mako, I've heard of tiger hammerhead, what other sharks?
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Well, then when you call it a great white, that
just adds to the to the hague. What that's just
about white supremacy. Yeah, ye's all that is.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Yeah, but it was a three to four foot white shark,
according to the story, which nipped at his leg and
then took off. According to the Catalina Channel Swimming Federation,
this long distance challenge is a twenty mile open water
crossing from the island back to the mainland. It starts
at midnight. Oh my gosh, who's gonna get in the
(11:21):
water at midnight? Swimming in the dark from Catalina to
the mainland. If the worst thing it happens to you
is a racist shark should bite your toes off, you're
getting off easy. Think about all the jellyfish out there.
Think about all the things that just want to eat
you out there. The dive boat called Bottom Scratcher, which
(11:44):
was escorting him, immediately pulled him from the water. Well,
that sounds like you're cheating. You're gonna swim the whole way.
Why is a boat gonna pull you out of the water.
They bandaged him, you know, sewed him up, and then
radio for help, and around one twenty am this morning
they met the LA Fire Department boats at sea. The
swimmer was transferred to San Pedro before he was later
(12:04):
taken to a hospital. There are other things that you
could be doing in your early fifties, right, other than
swimming from Catalina to Long Beach. That'd be pretty far
down on my list. Look, I admire what you did,
Mark Ronner, for just doing a marathon after the age
of thirty.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Okay, I don't remember how old I was when I
did it, but it was it was pretty humiliating. I
was hallucinating by the end of it. I was not
ready to do that. I didn't really train for it.
I just did it as kind of a gag to
write a column about. I'd say I'm a decent swimmer.
In other words, like if my life dependent on it,
I think I could swim a mile.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I mean my life dependent on it. And it wasn't
like I was under threat of getting eaten by a shark.
Like I could pace myself and determine how slowly I
was gonna dog paddle, side stroke, backstroke, whatever.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Oh, you could do a mile easy, Yeah, that's what
I think. I could do a mile, but twenty You
know it's interesting is remember when we had Joe Kwan
on and she explained to us when the sharks come out,
they're like freaks. They come out at night, that's when
they're doing their feet. Yeah, you're gonna.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Get in the water, pitch black water at midnight to
swim twenty miles. That's the best thing you could do
with yourself in your early fifties. It is dumb all
the way around. That's why I don't have any sympathy
when we talk about someone losing their toes due to
a shark incident.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
No, it's like the base jumpers or the people who
do the parachuting, or go look directly into a live volcano,
or your art eclipse, Yeah, any any of that. Whatever
happens to you, you deserve no no mourning because you
chose to do that.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
You chose to do it, and then something bad happened.
You chose it. Gosh, Mark, why are you not wearing
your crown? And for those who don't understand what I mean,
you need to tune into the live stream at mister
mo Kelly.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
On YouTube because I don't think I could wear it
with the same kind of dignity that you're projecting.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
The word you're looking for is alan.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
The way it falls off your head to emphasize a point.
I think that's some top notch to like just the crown,
although he is very small. Yeah, you're looking very much
like Biggie Smalls right now. I'm really filling the swag
that you're bringing to the crown. You look like a
Burger King. Actually, you look like at a b CI
from the old OZ TV.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
I hope not because he was doing some stuff that
made me get nightmares at night. Well, I love OZ.
That was a great show.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Yeah, I never missed an episode and I don't know
what that says show now.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
I mean they have a lot of heavy hitters and
talent in that show subsequent But if.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
You remember at A B. C. He's the one who
had the little the little beanie that was always at
an angle, always said, that's you with that crown right now,
it's called swag Mark. Okay, what are you trying to eat?
Speaker 1 (15:01):
We were telling for those who don't know, we said,
if Mark wants to eat the burger king with us,
he has to wear the crown. I'm not wearing the crown.
He's not eating that. It's simple. It's like a child.
It's like you don't You don't finish your dinner. You
don't get dessert.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
These uh, these monzrel sticks are d lish. You got
morell sticks? Yeah, you think about wearing that crown, aren't you?
Maybe a little mm hmm?
Speaker 1 (15:22):
What we got?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
We have fries, we have onion rings. Oh wait, the
onion rings rings, French fries. You've got monster montarella sticks.
You've got some child hallopen e chadar popper. What's it's
a it popping? So you buried the lead about the
onion rings. So I have no dignity left.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Tell me you got to tune into the YouTube show
at Okay, it's not staying on because we're all wearing headphones.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Why is it minus staying on? Sam's is staying on.
To Wallace is staying on. Stop making excuses. Excuses are
tools of the incompetition. You've all got pin heads like
those old sideshow freaks. I have a normal adult male head.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Now I don't know, but if you get that food there,
Wait a second, you said it, Mark, You said it.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
No one else did.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Oh my god, You're supposed to go get the food
before you say things like that.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
All right, whow Mark? Are you okay? It's just someone
I can call? Please don't all right?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
All right, your numbers blocked. My crowd keeps falling off.
It's Later with mo Kelly. When we come back.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
We want to talk about Metro and their restart of
the Tap to Exit program. It's Burger King time when
we come back. Kim six forty life everywhere on YouTube.
You gotta tune in the YouTube and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Mister Kelly, Later with mo Kelly Live on YouTube and
the iHeartRadio app. It's Burger King Knight. That's why we're
wearing the crown. When I say we, that's me. That's
Twala Sam the sex doctor and Mark Ronner on occasion
when he wants some food.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
It won't stay on my normally developed adult male head
gets a try harder. You have to adjust it, Mark.
It has adjustable strap. Are we talking about the same thing. Yeah,
there's a chin strap to it.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Look at it.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
You can adjust it, Mark, Uh No, I minus strapless. Sorry,
get the damn head. There's little notches and you can
fix it like you would have built. Oh yeah, okay,
see see so you guys are on the smallest notch.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Anyhow, La metrol Acehola, La Metro's going to restart its
tap to exit program, specifically at the North Hollywood station.
If you don't know, that's where it originated. And I
didn't know that it had been paused, I'm thinking like, okay,
you started it and you're going to keep on going
(18:16):
with it. It was launched back in May of last
year at this particular station in North Hollywood Metro subway station.
And this program, as we were told, was supposed to
decrease crime on Metro trains and buses buses by requiring
riders to tap the cards before exiting. Three months after
(18:37):
implementing the system, according to Metro, I can't verify these numbers. Reportedly,
Metro saw a ninety percent decrease in loitering at that
particular station and a twelve percent decrease in crime. But
I don't understand why it was paused because Metro even
expanded this tap to exit system to Union Station, which
(19:00):
is downtown, in February of this year, but pause the
implementation two months later after the LA Fire Department raised
concerns about the turnstiles at the exits, which does make sense.
If there's a fire and people are in a panic
and they're trying to get out, tap to exit probably
(19:21):
is not a good idea in that regard. You have
people getting trampled, obviously stuck because they won't be able
to get out. There has to be some way in
which there's an emergency fire release, which it did not have.
Firefighters warned that the system could create bottlenecks at exit
gates if an emergency occurred, as I was saying. In
(19:41):
the following months after the pause, Metro reported a sixty
seven percent increase in crime at the North Hollywood station
and a one hundred and sixteen percent increase in crime
at Union Station. So, on one hand, you can say, Hey,
when we had the Tap to Exit, there was a
precipit drop in crime. There was a measurable and meaningful
(20:04):
drop in crime. And if they could just figure out
a way to make it less likely to get everyone
killed in the case of an emergency, then they'll get
it back. Oh my crown is falling.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
We thank Los Angeles Fire Department for their close coordination
to bring this effective safety program back to the city
of La close quote that is Metro. They went on
to say the Tap to Exit program was very effective
at transforming behavior along the fourteen B line stations, with
reported crime and other issues having dropped by more than
forty percent on the Transit Watch app. Metro is still
(20:39):
working on re implementing the program at Union Station. Well,
if the program is so damn good and TLA, I
ask you this question. It's almost rhetorical. If the numbers
were as good as they're telling us they are, why
is it only to be re implemented at Union Station
and not any of the other stations.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
You know, It's interesting and something that I think that
they're overlooking. And when I was looking at some of
the studies on the Tap to Exit program, it wasn't
so much that there was just the tap to exit,
because you would think those things are waste high. You
could jump over them right right. But there's security there,
(21:19):
armed Metro security at these stations, which I believe is
what is more likely the reason behind and a decreasing
crime having something we keep talking about. Yeah, an armed
security presence.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
The tap function is not going to stop a would
be criminal. No, the deterrent is the officer with a
gun on the other side staring at you, which would
make it less likely for you to do that in
front of him or her.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Hello, I'm like to me, I'm like, so you put
the tap to exit and you have Metro police force
at these locations in president to catch you who's trying
to jump the turnstyle so to speak. And you're saying
that you think it's the tap system that's stopping them. No,
it's the addition of security. That is what everyone has
(22:13):
been screaming from day one. More security.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
I've seen different versions of this, so I'm going to
acknowledge my ignorance. I don't know if this tap to
exit system is a full wall panel or is it
only coming up waist high and at the turnstyle which
would not move unless you tap to exit. Because in Washington, DC,
and I'm in DC once a year, they've always had
tap to exit. You had to use your Metro fare
(22:37):
card to enter and exit. But in the case of emergency,
it's barely wasiste high. You could jump over with need bee.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Yeah, I believe that these from all the pictures that
we've seen were waist high.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Yeah, we're looking at it right now on our YouTube. Yeah,
to exits are waist high.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
They had some door security things, that's what we're trying
to put into some other places. But that's not the
same as the tap to exit that's waist high.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
This is why, given that it is wiste high that
I'm looking at it, I seriously doubt and dispute that
the decrease in crime was only because of the tap
to exit. That just doesn't make sense. You know, if
you're there to commit crime, if you're there to rob,
if you're there to sleep on a train, whatever, the
(23:25):
tap to exit is not going to be any type
of deterrent. You're going to jump over just like any
other turnstile. But if it is that good, I would
want Metro to explain to me why it's not everywhere
at every station. Why is it not just an assumption
that when you go to a Metro station which has
turnstiles as in like all of them, you don't have
(23:45):
a tap to exit. If it's limiting crime to that degree,
why is it not everywhere? Why is it you're only
talking about North Hollywood and Union Station. I know those
are two big stations, but the quicker if it's you know,
this is the Golden Key or you know, the holy
grail of security, it would seem that it would be everywhere,
(24:09):
or at least most places, two stations out of how many,
I don't know forty. What are we doing here? Are
we actually trying to decrease crime and limit it over
the fullness of Metro or are we just nibbling around
the edges and playing with our food so we can say, Hey,
crime is down at the North Hollywood station, or crime
(24:32):
is down at Union Station. But what about all the
other places where people are getting shanked and shived and shot?
Nice literation? What about what about all those other stations
where crime is as ever present as it was? And
until we're actually talking about that, until we're actually getting
(24:52):
to the heart of the matter that you know tap
to exit is a distraction when you talk about the
larger issue of safety on metro. If you only can
talk about safety as improving in tool stations two, you're
not talking about safety. It's Later with mo Kelly when
we come back. We're gonna talk about the most expensive
(25:14):
universities in the nation, and I wonder if any of
them are right here in southern California.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and YouTube. Let's go
to college some of the most expensive universities in the nation.
It's part of this ongoing discussion of whether college is
worth the investment, depending on the school, depending on the degree,
(25:59):
depending on on your specialty, depending on the type of
work you want to do after graduation. But what can't
be denied, and it's not debatable, is the cost of tuition,
room and board. The cost of a college education, at
least from private universities, is astronomical. And I went to
(26:19):
Georgetown University, and I know my parents. They had to
get a second mortgage on the house. There's no way
in the world that they would have been able to
send me to Georgetown University today the way the costs
of college tuition are. But here are the ten top
universities in terms of price. Coming in at number ten
(26:46):
Haverford College in Pennsylvania, and I couldn't tell you anything
about it, but I can tell you this Tuition and
fees seventy three, five hundred and sixty eight dollars per year,
room and board twenty thousand some dollars. And I'm assuming
it is per year, not per semester, because per semester
I would just be ridiculous. Coming in number nine Trinity
(27:13):
College in Hartford, Connecticut, Tuition and fees seventy three thousand,
five hundred and ninety dollars, room and board nineteen thousand,
six hundred and fifty. Number eight Toughs in Medford, Massachusetts.
(27:34):
Tuition and fees seventy three thousand, six hundred and sixteen,
room and board nineteen thousand, five hundred and sixty six.
So the first three they're comparable. They're similar as far
as tuition and fees and room and board. Let's see
if that changes. That was number eight now number seven
most expensive universities Colgate University and how Wilton, New York
(28:01):
tuition and fees seventy three thousand, six hundred and forty six,
room and board eighteen thousand, four hundred and forty six,
coming in at number six. The most expensive universities in
all of America. Amhurst College of Course in Amherst, Massachusetts,
(28:24):
Tuition and fees seventy three thousand, eight hundred and thirty
taking up room and board nineteen thousand, two hundred and
sixty dollars, coming in at number five. Of the most
expensive universities in all of the United States, the University
(28:45):
of Chicago location Chicago, Tuition and fees seventy three thousand,
nine hundred and sixty two dollars, room and board twenty thousand,
eight hundred and thirty five, coming in number four of
the most expense of learning institutions in the country. Boston
(29:09):
College in Newton, Massachusetts, Tuition and fees seventy four thousand,
two hundred and twenty four dollars, inching up room and
board eighteen thousand, two hundred and eighty four dollars, coming
in number three of the most expensive universities in the
United States. Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York. Tuition and
(29:36):
fees seventy four thousand, two hundred and sixty five dollars,
Room and board nineteen thousand and fifty five dollars. Now,
of course this will probably vary depending on where you
live as far as the cost of beal plans and
that kind of things, so it's more than just tuition,
(29:56):
room and board. Their other expenses to be considered in
number two of the most expensive universities in the country,
Brown University. Finally in Ivy League school location, Providence, Rhode Island.
Tuition and fees seventy four thousand, six hundred and fifty dollars,
room and board eighteen thousand, five hundred and fourteen dollars.
(30:21):
Coming down to number one, does anyone have a guess
as far as the most expensive university in these United States?
Chris Wolsey, year and hand. You're here early. You have
any thoughts, predictions, guesses?
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Tournto's lute, Mike, Please, let's let's go with something like
Sarah Lawrence.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
That's a good guess. Yeah, Mark Roney, you have a guess.
They're all out of reach.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
As far as I'm concerned, I think we're fully in
the era where pretty much you have to be affluent
to afford higher education. So six oh one, half a
dozen of the other So they're all the same thing
to me. Okay, doctor Sam, you know a little something
about higher education. Yeah, considering how much I own student
loans right now, whatever school I'm at, Yeah, that's the
one same.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Well Mark, you had eighty five degrees.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
That's a problem and the student loan debt to show
for it.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Yeah, yes, yes, coming in number one. The most expensive
university in all of these United States. Fight on University
(31:34):
of Southern California. Wow. Tuition and fees seventy five one
hundred and sixty two dollars, room and board twenty one
thousand dollars A bargain. I guess that's why they call
it University of Spoiled Children. Yes, it is. It is
absolutely the reason, and I don't think it's always been
that way as far as the most expensive school in
(31:57):
the United States, but it's a I'm just looking at
the top twenty five. We only did the top ten.
But on the list, there's Reed College in Portland, There's Tulane,
Carleton College, not even familiar with that. That's in Minnesota,
Clairemont McKenna out here in Claremont, Kenyon College in Ohio,
(32:18):
not familiar with it, Cornell in Ithaca obviously Ivy League.
Pepperdine is on the list at number nineteen. Colby College
in Maine. Never heard of it to be that expensive,
Barnard College in New York City, Wesleyan in Middletown, Connecticut.
(32:38):
Number fifteen is Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. Fourteen
is Franklin and Marshall in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I mean, these
are some really small schools to be charged in a
whole lot of money. Harvey Mudd in Claremont is number thirteen.
Columbia is number twelve. Colorado College in Colorado Springs is
(33:00):
number eleven. There's really no excuse for that.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Colorado College and Colorado Springs is like the world headquarters
for every nonprofit in the world.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
And you have one of the most expensive schools for
no real reason. It's not like you have this athletic
department that you're trying to fund or something. It's Colorado
College
Speaker 4 (33:21):
As II and kost HD two Los Angeles, Orange County
more stimulating
It's later with Kelly can if I YouTube? iHeartRadio app

Speaker 2 (01:20):
No, no, no, no, we're getting food. You're not wearing a crown,
so you're not getting So if I put the crown on,
I can have some food.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Correct.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
H Gotta think about this. That's kind kind of one
of those Jack Benny situations. Your money or your life,
isn't it? Yes, it is a trade off. Life is
about decisions. Wow, and tasty in your mouth with the
crown on. I don't know if I would to say
no man speaks that way to me. Nick Pouliochini is
here early and this has something to do with what's
(01:49):
up with Nick, and it has everything to do with
Burger King. He's in the studio right now rearranging food. Nick,
you're gonna tell us what the food is.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
I'll just okay so today and I'll cover it more.
You gotta get behind twelve a so other camera file.
Let me stay hold one.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Too, pretty well, I'm up here. There we go, There
we go.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
So today is the premiere of the Monster menu and
also the new kids meal at Burger King, so we're
going to cover all of that. But there's a Jack
O'Lantern burger, You've got a special Franken Sunday something like that.
So yeah, we got all the goodies from Burger King.
And also I've got some goodies from Marvel Entertainment thanks
to Joan Soda for Marvel Zombies.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
So we'll be as well, all right, So when do
we eat?
Speaker 3 (02:39):
As soon as I get this stuff set up for
you give me to give me two.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Back and two, yeah, two and two, Chuck, Woolory. We
also have an actual show that we're going to do tonight.
We have to talk about that swimmer got bit by
a shark off the coast of Catalina. I have no sympathy.
Hope we lost four toes. Yeah, okay, I just do.
And Metro's going to reach it's tapped to exit program.
I didn't know it itd stopped. I thought it was
(03:04):
a rousing success. I thought it was getting all these
fair jumpers. I thought it was fighting crime. I thought
it was making Metros safer for you, me and everyone else.
Just not so they're restarting it. It's not clear why
they stopped it. We'll get into that at the bottom
of the hour. And you know, since it is still
early in the school year and we always have this
ongoing conversation about whether college is a scam, well, I
(03:26):
don't think that some people do. We're going to talk
about the most expensive universities in the nation, in the
whole last country, the most expensive ones. That's going to
close out the hour, and Chris Woolsey's going to join
us in the studio. He's going to tell us what's
available on the Watch Free plus app with Visio. He
has some free terror titles as we get closer to
(03:48):
closer to Halloween, and also some free action flicks on
that visio Watch Free Plus app that's at the top
of the second hour. And I didn't know. I don't
know if he does. But Colonel Sanders, I don't know
what his family tree looks like. But there's a guy
out there who's claiming to be Colonel Sanders great great
great nephew, and he's threatening to go public with all
(04:11):
the secrets of the family and the seasonings and the
seven herbs and spices if the family does not acknowledge
him or something like that.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Are you gonna tell us all about the Sanders plantation
and what went on there?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Oh? Well, I would like to know. And if you
don't know that there is an urban urban myth, I'll
just put it that way that Colonel Sanders did not
actually create the recipe for Kentucky Fried chicken, but actually
got it from a black woman. What yes, dead serious?
What is left to believe in? I cannot confirm or deny.
(04:47):
I'm saying I've lived on this earth long enough to
have heard it from a number of sources. Now it
may be an old wives tale, just maybe one of
those urban myths, but it's something that has permeated the
I'll say, the legacy of Kentucky Fried Chicken. It's gone
off for the longest, so maybe this guy knows something
about it. I can't believe you defile the memory of
the Colonel.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Well, I defile all Confederates. So when you put it
like that, okay, I mean he is Confederate.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Yes, I'm not being funny. If he is, I don't
think he knows that many herbs and spices. That's just
my opinion. You could be right. We're going to talk
about the Colonel before the show's over, and we have
to also well, you know, we have to figure out
what's going to happen with our government since it's going
to be shut down in the next what is its
ten ten? Couple hours? Yeah, a couple hours.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I'm quite sure Mark Runner will have reports on that
over the course of the evening.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
For me, it doesn't matter whose fault it is. All
we know is the government will be shut down, and
you know, I'm going to be doing Spectrum News tomorrow
morning at six in the morning. I mean, gosh, I
don't know why I said yes to give I know
my show's gonna end at ten o'clock tonight and then
I'm going to be a Spectrum News have to get
up for something to do Spectrum News. I'm in studio
(06:03):
and they're going to ask me about the shutdown, and
I'm going to say tomorrow what I'm going to say. Now.
The question they're going to ask me is whose fault
is it? Who's going to suffer because of it? I said,
other than Americans suffering for it. The fault is neither
here nor there. Here's why, because we're going to have
another fifty eleven thousand catastrophes, controversies, problems between now and
(06:27):
the midterms. People will not remember, people will not care.
It will not make a difference. And also when we're
talking about Congress, people may hate Congress. In other words,
the approval rating for Congress as a body may be
at an all time low, but people buy and large
like their Congress person. How do I know this because
(06:48):
like seventy five percent of them always get re elected,
So it doesn't change our voting habits. Long story short,
this government shutdown is not going to be the death
now for either the Republican or the Democrats. They said
the same thing about the doge firings. Okay, that seemed
like that was forty five years ago, and it was
only like four months ago. And see how that is
(07:10):
receded into the background. This is the same thing. If
the shutdown goes for one day, one week, one month,
it will not be determinative about what happens politically come November.
That's a November of twenty twenty six, as a matter
of fact, So we have a long way to go.
There's my politics for the night. We're going to get
(07:31):
that out of the way, but the shutdown is looming.
Mark Ronner will have updates throughout the evening in case
that there is a late agreement. It doesn't look like it,
but we will be following it and covering it. It's
later with Moe Kelly kf I am six forty. We
want to talk about sharks and swimmers in Catalina when
we come back. We're live everywhere on YouTube, and yes,
you need to tune into YouTube because it's a burger
(07:53):
King Knight. We're all kings here except for Mark Ronner,
who refuses to wear his crown, so he's not going.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
To Well, you're the king of KFI Mo, I wish
that were true. I wish that were true.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I could tell you some things I'll get fired though, No,
I wish that were true. Keep your scepter away from me.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Woo.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Who's you're listening to?
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Later with Moe Kelly on Demand from KFI A M
six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
KFI Mister Kelly were live on YouTube. I think you
want to tune into YouTube tonight because we're gonna be
doing a lot of weird stuff and it has a
visual element to it, a lot of weird stuff at
mister Kelly on YouTube. M R M O K E
L L Y joined the mo Migos in the Motown chat.
(08:51):
We're a sponsored tonight by Burger King and Nick Pouliochinny.
I don't know who provided the food, whether it was
Burger King or Nick. What's up with Dick provided it?
And I'm going to be having in just a moment
before we get back this show, a jack o Lantern
whopper with bacon and cheese. I don't know how it tastes,
but it sounds awful, Damn good. It has an orange
(09:16):
bun in black sesme tease. That's racist? Is that right?
Why you gotta have like black sesame seas because of
the best Why no, once you go never mind? Right, Okay,
let's talk about the man swimming near Catalina and got
bitten by a shark. A man was swimming off the
coast of Catalina early today and was bitten by a shark.
(09:37):
Imagine that a shark in the ocean fighting people. Who
would a thucket. The swimmer believed to be in his
early fifties. What do you mean believed to be? Do
you know the man's age or not? But if your
early fifties, and I'd like to think of myself as
somewhat close to the early fifties, stop it, Mark. I
(09:58):
didn't say it was early fifties. I was around, I
was near. I was in the neighborhood of the early fifties.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Hey, you're wearing the crown. You get to declare anything
you want. It's good to be the king.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Uh huh. I am not going to be in any
ocean swimming for miles. I mean, hats off to this
man or toes off. At this point, he was twelve
miles off the coast of Catalina doing a long distance
swim from Catalina to the mainland in other words, swimming
(10:27):
from Catalina, Let's to the port of Long Beach, Okay,
when he was bitten on the foot by a shark.
According to the story, it says, a three to four
foot white shark. Why do they put race in this?
I don't I don't get this. Why do you always
get these stories when they put race in it. I've
heard of mako, I've heard of tiger hammerhead, what other sharks?
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Well, then when you call it a great white, that
just adds to the to the hague. What that's just
about white supremacy. Yeah, ye's all that is.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Yeah, but it was a three to four foot white shark,
according to the story, which nipped at his leg and
then took off. According to the Catalina Channel Swimming Federation,
this long distance challenge is a twenty mile open water
crossing from the island back to the mainland. It starts
at midnight. Oh my gosh, who's gonna get in the
(11:21):
water at midnight? Swimming in the dark from Catalina to
the mainland. If the worst thing it happens to you
is a racist shark should bite your toes off, you're
getting off easy. Think about all the jellyfish out there.
Think about all the things that just want to eat
you out there. The dive boat called Bottom Scratcher, which
(11:44):
was escorting him, immediately pulled him from the water. Well,
that sounds like you're cheating. You're gonna swim the whole way.
Why is a boat gonna pull you out of the water.
They bandaged him, you know, sewed him up, and then
radio for help, and around one twenty am this morning
they met the LA Fire Department boats at sea. The
swimmer was transferred to San Pedro before he was later
(12:04):
taken to a hospital. There are other things that you
could be doing in your early fifties, right, other than
swimming from Catalina to Long Beach. That'd be pretty far
down on my list. Look, I admire what you did,
Mark Ronner, for just doing a marathon after the age
of thirty.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Okay, I don't remember how old I was when I
did it, but it was it was pretty humiliating. I
was hallucinating by the end of it. I was not
ready to do that. I didn't really train for it.
I just did it as kind of a gag to
write a column about. I'd say I'm a decent swimmer.
In other words, like if my life dependent on it,
I think I could swim a mile.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I mean my life dependent on it. And it wasn't
like I was under threat of getting eaten by a shark.
Like I could pace myself and determine how slowly I
was gonna dog paddle, side stroke, backstroke, whatever.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Oh, you could do a mile easy, Yeah, that's what
I think. I could do a mile, but twenty You
know it's interesting is remember when we had Joe Kwan
on and she explained to us when the sharks come out,
they're like freaks. They come out at night, that's when
they're doing their feet. Yeah, you're gonna.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Get in the water, pitch black water at midnight to
swim twenty miles. That's the best thing you could do
with yourself in your early fifties. It is dumb all
the way around. That's why I don't have any sympathy
when we talk about someone losing their toes due to
a shark incident.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
No, it's like the base jumpers or the people who
do the parachuting, or go look directly into a live volcano,
or your art eclipse, Yeah, any any of that. Whatever
happens to you, you deserve no no mourning because you
chose to do that.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
You chose to do it, and then something bad happened.
You chose it. Gosh, Mark, why are you not wearing
your crown? And for those who don't understand what I mean,
you need to tune into the live stream at mister
mo Kelly.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
On YouTube because I don't think I could wear it
with the same kind of dignity that you're projecting.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
The word you're looking for is alan.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
The way it falls off your head to emphasize a point.
I think that's some top notch to like just the crown,
although he is very small. Yeah, you're looking very much
like Biggie Smalls right now. I'm really filling the swag
that you're bringing to the crown. You look like a
Burger King. Actually, you look like at a b CI
from the old OZ TV.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
I hope not because he was doing some stuff that
made me get nightmares at night. Well, I love OZ.
That was a great show.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Yeah, I never missed an episode and I don't know
what that says show now.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
I mean they have a lot of heavy hitters and
talent in that show subsequent But if.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
You remember at A B. C. He's the one who
had the little the little beanie that was always at
an angle, always said, that's you with that crown right now,
it's called swag Mark. Okay, what are you trying to eat?
Speaker 1 (15:01):
We were telling for those who don't know, we said,
if Mark wants to eat the burger king with us,
he has to wear the crown. I'm not wearing the crown.
He's not eating that. It's simple. It's like a child.
It's like you don't You don't finish your dinner. You
don't get dessert.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
These uh, these monzrel sticks are d lish. You got
morell sticks? Yeah, you think about wearing that crown, aren't you?
Maybe a little mm hmm?
Speaker 1 (15:22):
What we got?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
We have fries, we have onion rings. Oh wait, the
onion rings rings, French fries. You've got monster montarella sticks.
You've got some child hallopen e chadar popper. What's it's
a it popping? So you buried the lead about the
onion rings. So I have no dignity left.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Tell me you got to tune into the YouTube show
at Okay, it's not staying on because we're all wearing headphones.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Why is it minus staying on? Sam's is staying on.
To Wallace is staying on. Stop making excuses. Excuses are
tools of the incompetition. You've all got pin heads like
those old sideshow freaks. I have a normal adult male head.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Now I don't know, but if you get that food there,
Wait a second, you said it, Mark, You said it.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
No one else did.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Oh my god, You're supposed to go get the food
before you say things like that.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
All right, whow Mark? Are you okay? It's just someone
I can call? Please don't all right?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
All right, your numbers blocked. My crowd keeps falling off.
It's Later with mo Kelly. When we come back.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
We want to talk about Metro and their restart of
the Tap to Exit program. It's Burger King time when
we come back. Kim six forty life everywhere on YouTube.
You gotta tune in the YouTube and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Mister Kelly, Later with mo Kelly Live on YouTube and
the iHeartRadio app. It's Burger King Knight. That's why we're
wearing the crown. When I say we, that's me. That's
Twala Sam the sex doctor and Mark Ronner on occasion
when he wants some food.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
It won't stay on my normally developed adult male head
gets a try harder. You have to adjust it, Mark.
It has adjustable strap. Are we talking about the same thing. Yeah,
there's a chin strap to it.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Look at it.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
You can adjust it, Mark, Uh No, I minus strapless. Sorry,
get the damn head. There's little notches and you can
fix it like you would have built. Oh yeah, okay,
see see so you guys are on the smallest notch.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Anyhow, La metrol Acehola, La Metro's going to restart its
tap to exit program, specifically at the North Hollywood station.
If you don't know, that's where it originated. And I
didn't know that it had been paused, I'm thinking like, okay,
you started it and you're going to keep on going
(18:16):
with it. It was launched back in May of last
year at this particular station in North Hollywood Metro subway station.
And this program, as we were told, was supposed to
decrease crime on Metro trains and buses buses by requiring
riders to tap the cards before exiting. Three months after
(18:37):
implementing the system, according to Metro, I can't verify these numbers. Reportedly,
Metro saw a ninety percent decrease in loitering at that
particular station and a twelve percent decrease in crime. But
I don't understand why it was paused because Metro even
expanded this tap to exit system to Union Station, which
(19:00):
is downtown, in February of this year, but pause the
implementation two months later after the LA Fire Department raised
concerns about the turnstiles at the exits, which does make sense.
If there's a fire and people are in a panic
and they're trying to get out, tap to exit probably
(19:21):
is not a good idea in that regard. You have
people getting trampled, obviously stuck because they won't be able
to get out. There has to be some way in
which there's an emergency fire release, which it did not have.
Firefighters warned that the system could create bottlenecks at exit
gates if an emergency occurred, as I was saying. In
(19:41):
the following months after the pause, Metro reported a sixty
seven percent increase in crime at the North Hollywood station
and a one hundred and sixteen percent increase in crime
at Union Station. So, on one hand, you can say, Hey,
when we had the Tap to Exit, there was a
precipit drop in crime. There was a measurable and meaningful
(20:04):
drop in crime. And if they could just figure out
a way to make it less likely to get everyone
killed in the case of an emergency, then they'll get
it back. Oh my crown is falling.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
We thank Los Angeles Fire Department for their close coordination
to bring this effective safety program back to the city
of La close quote that is Metro. They went on
to say the Tap to Exit program was very effective
at transforming behavior along the fourteen B line stations, with
reported crime and other issues having dropped by more than
forty percent on the Transit Watch app. Metro is still
(20:39):
working on re implementing the program at Union Station. Well,
if the program is so damn good and TLA, I
ask you this question. It's almost rhetorical. If the numbers
were as good as they're telling us they are, why
is it only to be re implemented at Union Station
and not any of the other stations.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
You know, It's interesting and something that I think that
they're overlooking. And when I was looking at some of
the studies on the Tap to Exit program, it wasn't
so much that there was just the tap to exit,
because you would think those things are waste high. You
could jump over them right right. But there's security there,
(21:19):
armed Metro security at these stations, which I believe is
what is more likely the reason behind and a decreasing
crime having something we keep talking about. Yeah, an armed
security presence.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
The tap function is not going to stop a would
be criminal. No, the deterrent is the officer with a
gun on the other side staring at you, which would
make it less likely for you to do that in
front of him or her.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Hello, I'm like to me, I'm like, so you put
the tap to exit and you have Metro police force
at these locations in president to catch you who's trying
to jump the turnstyle so to speak. And you're saying
that you think it's the tap system that's stopping them. No,
it's the addition of security. That is what everyone has
(22:13):
been screaming from day one. More security.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
I've seen different versions of this, so I'm going to
acknowledge my ignorance. I don't know if this tap to
exit system is a full wall panel or is it
only coming up waist high and at the turnstyle which
would not move unless you tap to exit. Because in Washington, DC,
and I'm in DC once a year, they've always had
tap to exit. You had to use your Metro fare
(22:37):
card to enter and exit. But in the case of emergency,
it's barely wasiste high. You could jump over with need bee.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Yeah, I believe that these from all the pictures that
we've seen were waist high.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Yeah, we're looking at it right now on our YouTube. Yeah,
to exits are waist high.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
They had some door security things, that's what we're trying
to put into some other places. But that's not the
same as the tap to exit that's waist high.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
This is why, given that it is wiste high that
I'm looking at it, I seriously doubt and dispute that
the decrease in crime was only because of the tap
to exit. That just doesn't make sense. You know, if
you're there to commit crime, if you're there to rob,
if you're there to sleep on a train, whatever, the
(23:25):
tap to exit is not going to be any type
of deterrent. You're going to jump over just like any
other turnstile. But if it is that good, I would
want Metro to explain to me why it's not everywhere
at every station. Why is it not just an assumption
that when you go to a Metro station which has
turnstiles as in like all of them, you don't have
(23:45):
a tap to exit. If it's limiting crime to that degree,
why is it not everywhere? Why is it you're only
talking about North Hollywood and Union Station. I know those
are two big stations, but the quicker if it's you know,
this is the Golden Key or you know, the holy
grail of security, it would seem that it would be everywhere,
(24:09):
or at least most places, two stations out of how many,
I don't know forty. What are we doing here? Are
we actually trying to decrease crime and limit it over
the fullness of Metro or are we just nibbling around
the edges and playing with our food so we can say, Hey,
crime is down at the North Hollywood station, or crime
(24:32):
is down at Union Station. But what about all the
other places where people are getting shanked and shived and shot?
Nice literation? What about what about all those other stations
where crime is as ever present as it was? And
until we're actually talking about that, until we're actually getting
(24:52):
to the heart of the matter that you know tap
to exit is a distraction when you talk about the
larger issue of safety on metro. If you only can
talk about safety as improving in tool stations two, you're
not talking about safety. It's Later with mo Kelly when
we come back. We're gonna talk about the most expensive
(25:14):
universities in the nation, and I wonder if any of
them are right here in southern California.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and YouTube. Let's go
to college some of the most expensive universities in the nation.
It's part of this ongoing discussion of whether college is
worth the investment, depending on the school, depending on the degree,
(25:59):
depending on on your specialty, depending on the type of
work you want to do after graduation. But what can't
be denied, and it's not debatable, is the cost of tuition,
room and board. The cost of a college education, at
least from private universities, is astronomical. And I went to
(26:19):
Georgetown University, and I know my parents. They had to
get a second mortgage on the house. There's no way
in the world that they would have been able to
send me to Georgetown University today the way the costs
of college tuition are. But here are the ten top
universities in terms of price. Coming in at number ten
(26:46):
Haverford College in Pennsylvania, and I couldn't tell you anything
about it, but I can tell you this Tuition and
fees seventy three, five hundred and sixty eight dollars per year,
room and board twenty thousand some dollars. And I'm assuming
it is per year, not per semester, because per semester
I would just be ridiculous. Coming in number nine Trinity
(27:13):
College in Hartford, Connecticut, Tuition and fees seventy three thousand,
five hundred and ninety dollars, room and board nineteen thousand,
six hundred and fifty. Number eight Toughs in Medford, Massachusetts.
(27:34):
Tuition and fees seventy three thousand, six hundred and sixteen,
room and board nineteen thousand, five hundred and sixty six.
So the first three they're comparable. They're similar as far
as tuition and fees and room and board. Let's see
if that changes. That was number eight now number seven
most expensive universities Colgate University and how Wilton, New York
(28:01):
tuition and fees seventy three thousand, six hundred and forty six,
room and board eighteen thousand, four hundred and forty six,
coming in at number six. The most expensive universities in
all of America. Amhurst College of Course in Amherst, Massachusetts,
(28:24):
Tuition and fees seventy three thousand, eight hundred and thirty
taking up room and board nineteen thousand, two hundred and
sixty dollars, coming in at number five. Of the most
expensive universities in all of the United States, the University
(28:45):
of Chicago location Chicago, Tuition and fees seventy three thousand,
nine hundred and sixty two dollars, room and board twenty thousand,
eight hundred and thirty five, coming in number four of
the most expense of learning institutions in the country. Boston
(29:09):
College in Newton, Massachusetts, Tuition and fees seventy four thousand,
two hundred and twenty four dollars, inching up room and
board eighteen thousand, two hundred and eighty four dollars, coming
in number three of the most expensive universities in the
United States. Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York. Tuition and
(29:36):
fees seventy four thousand, two hundred and sixty five dollars,
Room and board nineteen thousand and fifty five dollars. Now,
of course this will probably vary depending on where you
live as far as the cost of beal plans and
that kind of things, so it's more than just tuition,
(29:56):
room and board. Their other expenses to be considered in
number two of the most expensive universities in the country,
Brown University. Finally in Ivy League school location, Providence, Rhode Island.
Tuition and fees seventy four thousand, six hundred and fifty dollars,
room and board eighteen thousand, five hundred and fourteen dollars.
(30:21):
Coming down to number one, does anyone have a guess
as far as the most expensive university in these United States?
Chris Wolsey, year and hand. You're here early. You have
any thoughts, predictions, guesses?
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Tournto's lute, Mike, Please, let's let's go with something like
Sarah Lawrence.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
That's a good guess. Yeah, Mark Roney, you have a guess.
They're all out of reach.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
As far as I'm concerned, I think we're fully in
the era where pretty much you have to be affluent
to afford higher education. So six oh one, half a
dozen of the other So they're all the same thing
to me. Okay, doctor Sam, you know a little something
about higher education. Yeah, considering how much I own student
loans right now, whatever school I'm at, Yeah, that's the
one same.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Well Mark, you had eighty five degrees.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
That's a problem and the student loan debt to show
for it.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Yeah, yes, yes, coming in number one. The most expensive
university in all of these United States. Fight on University
(31:34):
of Southern California. Wow. Tuition and fees seventy five one
hundred and sixty two dollars, room and board twenty one
thousand dollars A bargain. I guess that's why they call
it University of Spoiled Children. Yes, it is. It is
absolutely the reason, and I don't think it's always been
that way as far as the most expensive school in
(31:57):
the United States, but it's a I'm just looking at
the top twenty five. We only did the top ten.
But on the list, there's Reed College in Portland, There's Tulane,
Carleton College, not even familiar with that. That's in Minnesota,
Clairemont McKenna out here in Claremont, Kenyon College in Ohio,
(32:18):
not familiar with it, Cornell in Ithaca obviously Ivy League.
Pepperdine is on the list at number nineteen. Colby College
in Maine. Never heard of it to be that expensive,
Barnard College in New York City, Wesleyan in Middletown, Connecticut.
(32:38):
Number fifteen is Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. Fourteen
is Franklin and Marshall in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I mean, these
are some really small schools to be charged in a
whole lot of money. Harvey Mudd in Claremont is number thirteen.
Columbia is number twelve. Colorado College in Colorado Springs is
(33:00):
number eleven. There's really no excuse for that.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Colorado College and Colorado Springs is like the world headquarters
for every nonprofit in the world.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
And you have one of the most expensive schools for
no real reason. It's not like you have this athletic
department that you're trying to fund or something. It's Colorado
College
Speaker 4 (33:21):

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
