Speaker 1 (00:22):
If I am six forty years later with Mo Kelly,
We're live on YouTube and the iHeartRadio app. Oh my goodness,
I made it through the weekend. I didn't know if
I was gonna make it. They said they were gonna
burned down Los Angeles or something like that, there would
be no way that the city could survive. And I see, Stephen,
he made it. Good to see you, brother. I didn't
know if i'd ever see you again. Good to see you,
(00:43):
Mark Ronner. I see you made it just by the
skin of my teeth. I'm so lucky to be alive
right now. I was listening to you over the weekend
giving the harrowing details of all that was going on.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yeah, yeah, I'm surprised you didn't have to self medicate.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
I was, but that was for another reason. Oh, if
you say so, I'm not here to judge you. No, no, no, no,
please don't judge. But to be serious, I'm glad that
the weekend was largely uneventful. Largely given the naysayers and
the doom peddlers. LA is going to live another day.
(01:21):
Let me give you some specifics. According to LAPD and
city officials, there were some five hundred and seventy four
arrests made since June eighth. Again that since June eighth.
According to police, thirty eight arrests were made on Saturday
night for various charges, including thirty five for curfew violations,
(01:41):
one for failure to disperse and one for resisting, obstructing
or delaying a police officer, and one for resisting arrest
and Mark, I don't know if you have any update
on this next one. The department was unable to comment
on one man's testicle being shattered after he was shot
by rubber bullet from close range. You have been shot
by rubber bullet, so is there any validity to that? Possibly?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Well, I'm not completely current on my testicular news, but
I can tell you. I can tell you that rubber
bullets really smart. They hurt like hell. I have been
shot quite a number of times by them, and it's
not like you know, a smack on the wrist.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
They really hurt.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
And they may be less lethal quote munitions, but you
don't play around. You don't want to get hit anywhere
in the face or eyes, certainly with those, and I
can imagine it would do a considerable amount of damage
in the bikini area. Let's say if you were shot
in the chest by one or two of them, Can
they put people down? Do they have stopping power or
(02:43):
it's it just more like a deterrent. It certainly is
a deterrent. Trust me on this. You do not want
to experiment with this deterrent. I think mostly I got
shot like in the legs, torso in the posterior. Because
a lot of the times they'll shoot people who are
running away in a protest.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
I wonder why that is.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
I'll leave that to you for conjecturing. But you will
absolutely want eye protection or just to get the hell
out of the area if they're breaking out these rubber
bullets in a protest.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
All right, let's get some stats. Let's go down the ledger.
June seventh, there were twenty nine arrests for failure to disperse.
June eighth, there were twenty one arrests. Charges range from
attempted murder with a molotov cocktail, assault with a deadly
weapon on a police officer, looting in failure to disperse.
And again, these arrests and charges they may or may
(03:34):
not stick, they may be dropped. There's no telling how
they will be handled. We're just listing the arrests and
the associated charges. June ninth, there were ninety six arrests
for failure to disperse, fourteen arrests for looting, one each
for assault with a deadly weapon, resisting arrest, in vandalism,
or as some people say. Tuesday, June tenth, two hundred
(03:56):
and three arrests for failure to disperse, three for firearms possession,
one for assault with a deadly weapon on a peace officer,
and one for discharging a laser at an LAPD airship.
We saw that there were also seventeen arrests for curfew violations.
June eleventh, seventy one arrests for failure to disperse, seven
(04:16):
for curfew violations, two for assault with a deadly weapon
on a police officer, and one for resisting a police officer.
June twelfth, thirty three arrests for failure to disperse, thirteen
for curfew violations, one for resisting a police officer, and
one for pointing a laser at an LAPD airship. One
person who was detained for violating curfew was also arrested
(04:39):
on a robbery warrant. You dumb ass, And you know what,
there's always some idiots who goes to these things with
a laser. I mean, what are you thinking for a warrant?
Do you have a warrant? Don't you have a warrant?
That means they're already looking for you. You're going to jail
no matter what. What is your name? Certain I'm gonna
give you my name. Okay.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
There's always a handful of people like that who lower
the aggregate IQ in the whole crowd.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
And this is going to be part of my final
thought tonight, the history of protests in America. Just want
to let you know in advance. June thirteenth, eighteen arrests
for curfew violation, one for assault with a deadly weapon.
And June fourteenth, which is Saturday, the No King's Movement
protest day, thirty five arrests for curfew violation, one each
(05:27):
for failure to disperse, resisting, obstructing or delaying a police officer,
and resisting arrest. If you looked at this like on
a graph, you could see that it started off more unruly,
with more unrest near the beginning, and tapered off at
the end. So there you have it. The curfew has
(05:49):
been reduced in size and scope by Mayor Bass in
the sense of it will only begin at ten pm,
and I think it goes until six am if I'm
not mistaken, But I know it's ten pm until the
Mark Ronner was shaking his head, so until six am.
So we're moving in a positive direction in that that way. Well,
(06:11):
let me just ask Twalla, how is your father's day?
It's fantastic.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
It's fantastic, especially after you called me and said, no, Ta,
we don't have to be on the air tonight.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Because La didn't burned down. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
I was on my way and you saved me a
trip with the news that said, hey, it's dying down,
we don't have to go on.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yeah, there was a possibility that we would have been
on last night from six to nine pm, but circumstances
did not require that. So it was good for the
city and it was good for us. What about you?
What'd you get into? My wife and I we went
to this place called Roca in Bellflower. It is like
a it's almost like an Indian I don't want to
(06:54):
call it Spanish and Indiana and when I say India,
I mean India South Asian. It's a mixed cuisine type restaurant.
They have belly dancing. They have this great food. I
had this, Yeah, I had this lobster mac and cheese
that was so damn good, so good. My wife and
I said, we're gonna go back just to get that.
(07:15):
That was an appetizer. I got the salmon and like
mixed cuisine. For the main entree, I got salmon and
also like a pesto sauce pasta. They had all types
of cuisine in there. And it's a whiskey bar, so
I got to sample various whiskeys from around the world. Mark, Ronnie,
you would have really appreciated it. I'm being serious.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I know I've been known to take a drink from
time to time judiciously.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
No, I didn't. I didn't because my mind was just racing.
Usually on a Sunday night, I'm thinking about all the
stuff that I need to do, Like, for example, I
had to I had to go to Spectrum News early
this morning. It was just, you know, just just back
into the swing of things. Yeah, real quick.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Though.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Rubber bullets can shout a testicle. It's called testical rupture,
and it can cause testicular infraction, which is tissue death.
Testicular torsion permanent twist. Twist of the spermatic cord infection
and infertility not recommended.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Then if I can sum up, that's a very cheery
start to the show. Let me just add one thing.
It is the Long Suffering One's birthday today.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Oh what? And it's also my sister's birthday. The geminis
in the house. Happy birthday to Marie O'Kelly green. She
probably doesn't like me using her name, but I use
it anyway. She's a whole twenty three today. So it's
the Long Suffering One. It's late with Mokela. We're gonna
catch up with the ongoing when we talk about protests.
(08:50):
The Long Beach nurses. They're having a candlelight vigil and
also an informational picket talk about being smart with the protests.
Will they explain everything which is going on as part
of the candidlight vigil And we'll be joined on the
program next by Brandy Welch, who is a registered nurse,
a pediatric nurse. That's next IM six forty and YouTube.
(09:11):
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty with mo Kelly.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
One six FI. It's later with mo Kelly. We're live
on YouTube and the iHeartRadio app. Registered nurses at Memorial
Care Long Beach Medical Center and Miller Children's and Women's
Hospital in Long Beach have been holding an informational picket
right now to highlight their patient safety concerns stemming from
(09:46):
the layoff of dozens of nurses and healthcare workers. Where
it's happening is Memorial Care Long Beach Medical Center, which
is twenty eight oh one Atlantic Avenue in Long Beach,
and joining me right now is pediatric nurse Brandy Welch
to give us an up date as Welch, how are
you this evening?
Speaker 5 (10:01):
All things considered, I'm doing okay. Thank you for asking
and thank you for having me on this evening.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Absolutely we have been following this story closely. What did
you hope to achieve with this candlelight vigil?
Speaker 5 (10:17):
Well, we really need to highlight the patient safety concerns
that we as nurses at Long Beach, Memorial Miller Children's
have with these layoffs and our ability to care for
the public in the best possible way.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
The last time I spoke to anyone connected to this issue, actually,
the last two times there had been no movement from management.
There had been no communication, there had been no type
of overture to suggest that they were ready to come
to the table. Has that changed it? All?
Speaker 5 (10:50):
That has changed mildly. We do have a bargaining date
set for June twenty sixth, and there's two more dates
set for July eighth in eighteenth, but they're all far
and few between, and it really isn't allowing us to
solve the contract in a timely fashion.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Talk to me about what's happening at the hospital right now.
There was a one day strike and that was part
of the first day of what was a five day
lockout by management. Now I would have to assume correct
me if I'm wrong that the normal nursing staff is
back in place. What is the morale like? What is
patient care like?
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Patient care is being taken care of to the best
of our ability, And as far as the mood, the
mood is somber. We are losing friends and family, as
we call it, to our staff, and it is impacting
our ability to care because of we're losing those individuals
(11:50):
that are there to support.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
When you sit down at the table, you need not
tell me all the strategy and specifics, but what do
you think is the top line item that nurses are
going to be asking for or is something that is
just just impossible to avoid.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
Patient safety and asking for metal detection or medical medical
detectors at each opening, public public opening, and of course
retention of nurses. Well, they're laying off nurses when we
should be keeping them.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Let's talk about that. When you talk about the medical
detective excuse me, metal detectors, there is a safety issue
for just the environment in which you work, having nothing
to do with the patients. Am I reading that correctly?
Speaker 5 (12:40):
It's for not only the nurses, but for the public
as well. We want everyone to feel safe coming into
the medical center for their care, and to do that,
we need to have those metal detectors at each opening.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Right now, you're in the middle, I mean statistically, right
in the middle of this candlelight visual. Tell me about
what people are saying or what is the general public saying,
what other nurses are saying during this vigil.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
During this vigil, we want a safe contract, we want
safe patient care to be a priority for the medical center,
and we want retention of our nurses.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Is there anyone, to the best of your knowledge from management,
who is monitoring this vigil or just watching any Are
they playing any role.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
There's no role being played. Only security there. They say
it's there to protect us, but it's to make sure
that we're not getting rowdy, which we would never do.
It's a peaceful protest, okay.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Well along those lines of a peaceful protest, have there
has there been any end antagonism by management in this
way to push you in the direction of a non
peaceful protest?
Speaker 5 (13:56):
None at this time.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
How is it your families are responding. I know it's
one thing to hear about this in the media. It's
one thing for you to talk about it from your
personal perspective. But I'm quite sure you have friends and
family who may be listening right now who may be
wondering where all this is going. What is it you're
hearing from them?
Speaker 5 (14:17):
They are hearing about the discord at the hospital between
the nurses and the management team. They are aware of it,
and they are all watching it very closely. They are concerned,
especially the family and friends in the area, about patient
safety and care they may receive at the medical center.
(14:38):
I just reassuring that the nurses are doing their utmost
to take care of each and every patient to the
best of our ability.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
If you're just turning in my guess right now, as
pediatric nurse Brandy Welch, as we talk about the labor
issues at the Long Beach Memorial Medical Center and this Welch,
I'm an outsider. So when I see headlines sometimes I
don't know how they connect or disconnect. I know that
Blair can't The CEO of Memorial Cares Long Beach Campus
(15:06):
recently retired after being on administrative leave for months. How
does that figure into this at all? How should I
look at that as an outsider? From where you sit.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
As an outsider, well, we've seen two CEOs leave in
the last three years, and people will have to read
into that as to what they would think about it.
As far as the nurses, we do see the upheople
that's happening inside the house and we would like to
see it calm down a bit.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
You may mentioned to I guess John Bishop, who previously
had resigned it in twenty twenty two. Do we Is
it fair to say that either one neither was more
or less sympathetic to your issues or not.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
I believe they pretty much are reading the same story.
There's no change in how they are treating the nurses.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Okay, it has. My last question to you is after
this point, what's the next step. Now you said that
there's going to be some sort of meeting on the
twenty eighth, Is that correct between you and management?
Speaker 5 (16:15):
Yes, it's the twenty sixth of Cheer sixth. The bargaining
team goes back to the table and we'll see what
they have to present to us. We will present to
them first, and then they will present back and we'll
see what the reaction is.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
So that means sometime after the twenty six either you
or Amy Wolke or someone has to come back on
this show and give us an update. Is that all right?
Speaker 5 (16:37):
That is great? One of us will.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
She's Brandy Welch, pediatric nurse. Miss Welch. Thank you for
coming on this evening and we will definitely be in
touch and continue to watch this story.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Great. Thank you again for having this on and hearing
our voice.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
We appreciate it absolutely.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 6 (17:05):
I remember standing right across from me Winds I remember
an old man.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Next to me me, Metro can't I mister mo Kelly.
We're live everywhere on YouTube and the iHeartRadio app, and
sometimes Metro just does it to itself. I don't even
have Look, it's not my fault. Okay, this is all
(17:42):
on Metro and this is exactly what I mean. The
Metro k line this morning was experiencing delays because a
person was found dead on the subway tracks. Well, if
if a person is found dead on the subway tracks
or what are the betting odds that it has something
to do with Metro? What are the betting odds? Okay?
(18:02):
Then Metro got its statement together because they had to
huddle up and say, okay, guys, how we're gonna explain
this dead body on the tracks? I need the best ideas, Okay, Mark, go,
Stefan go, Twala go. And then they finally came up, well,
why don't we go ahead and tell the truth that
we run the mother father over And they said, okay,
(18:23):
let's go with that. So a spokesman this is true.
A spokesman for Metro later said a statement that a
person was riding between two railcars when they fell onto
the tracks. The person died after being hit by a
k Line train. They should have led with that when
(18:48):
you start off with the k Line is experiencing delays
this morning. There seems to be an obstruction on the tracks.
You're really really trying to undersell it. Start with the
part of we hit somebody. They're dead. You're probably not
(19:08):
going to get to your job on time. Please make
other arrangements. There's a dead body. It's almost like the
movie stand by Me. You want to see a dead body.
There's a dead body on the tracks.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Now.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Is it the fault of Metro that someone ended up
dead on the tracks? I don't know. I don't know.
Maybe this person decided to jump off a platform and
started walking down one of the tunnels and then got
run over. I don't know. I don't know. But you know,
usually the truth is the best thing to lead with,
(19:43):
because when he tried to soft pedal the truth, then
it looks like you don't want us to know exactly
how he ended up. Have you seen it on social media?
They don't say dead anymore than they say un alive,
because they're trying to manipulate or not get shadow band
or not get their profiles hidden by using the word dead,
(20:04):
I'm gonna use it dead. They killed him dead like raid.
They killed him dead. He wasn't unalived. He was killed.
And I can say this my time. When I was
writing Metro, there were at least two or three deaths.
I think two were suicides, and I think one was
a car. I wasn't in the train, but you know,
(20:24):
if you're like a on the same track, you could
be three cars back and it just stops.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
The whole line. Well, show some sensitivity, for God's sake.
Their lives were negatively impacted. Oh, it was a positive impact.
It was certainly an impact with a negative result, but
the impact positive.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
It happened. Well done, Well done. What were you gonna
say too?
Speaker 2 (20:45):
What?
Speaker 1 (20:45):
What? What I was gonna go with?
Speaker 3 (20:48):
I was gonna go with a sudden impact joke, But
it just doesn't it doesn't fit right.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Now, you're feeling lucky Metro writing bunk. I guess you
had to have seen the movie. Now does this make
you want to get on or get off Metro? I
would be less inclined. I'd be disinclined to ride Metro
if I knew that they were running people down. I
don't know. I don't know. I need to know if
(21:15):
I get on at six in the morning, that I
don't have to worry about, or reasonably worry about a
dead body on the tracks making me late to work,
because it's all about me. Now, see, here's the thing,
all about me.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
It may not be metro related, but people are dying
on these tracks all the time. I rather worked for
the railroad and these trains that you hear going around
the city late at night, all throughout the day, stopping
up traffic when you're trying to get somewhere. These trains
hit people, They hit vehicles that are stopped on the
(21:46):
track because along the train tracks lots of times is
where homeless people are sleeping. Yeah, that's exactly what's happened to.
There are homeless camps that are set up, people too
close to the tracks, people falling asleep on the tracks,
and that's it.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Not only that, if you've ever driven down Crenshaw like
that Slosson Corridor, you're driving down Crenshaw north south right
along Sloughson or so at that junction, you will see
people trying to dart across Crenshaw in their cars because
they want to beat the train. All the day time,
I want to wait for it. It's like, yeah, okay,
(22:23):
this is a bad accident, just waiting to happen because
you know the sequence of lights, and they don't want
to wait for the light, so they're just gonna dash
across the tracks sometimes forgetting there may be a train
coming in the other direction, and you know, it's wild.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
As my brother always tells me, people think trains aren't
moving fast. Trains are faster than you can imagine, and
they will catch you.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
I don't know. I think they're in around the sixty
to seventy five mile an hour range if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Some of the bigger trains are faster, some of the
trains that are carrying more because they have to build
up that speed because you never know when you're gonna
hit it incline or something like that, so they try
to maintain a nice solid speed.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Yeah, when they tell you do not try to beat
the train across the tracks, they mean that, and and
to your point, but you know, we have a lot
of dumb people out there who are determined to just
disregard and maybe let me just digress for a second.
Has everyone seen the increase in disregard for driving in
the sense of just go ahead and just speeding through lights. Yeah,
(23:25):
ignoring stop sign absolutely, just complete disregard.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Today, a man in a silver Astro Mini van he
I wish I could, because he sped up on on
the opposite so he was went through the left hand
turn of you know, opposite to a direction I'm going yep,
sped into that lane and came all the way around
cars through the red light to get through to the
(23:49):
other side, Like he just did not want to wait
in the back waiting to go his turn.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
I've seen that. And also what I see more often
than not is the idiot, Okay, the light is red,
and the idiot who's going to come up on the
right and pass everybody if it light turns green or
they will anticipate it turning green, and then they're going
through the intersection while it's red. Yeah. Yeah. And it's
(24:13):
almost like in the back of my mind, I'm thinking, like,
is there any way he can just get clipped And
I don't want to. He want to get hurt. I
just wanted to get clipped and end up running over
the curb and ruining his car.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
That's not enough. People have to be unalived for the
message to get through, don't do it.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
I think these people think they're going to respawn like
they're playing a video game. And I can promise you
I've covered a lot of car train accidents earlier in
my career. You don't respond, but you're rendered into raspberry preserves.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
See. I don't want him to die. I want him
to understand that it was their fault and suffer the
consequences for the rest of their lives. That's all I want.
I want him to be reminded every single day that
was my dumb ass. You know what it was?
Speaker 3 (24:59):
In a reminder their dumb ass is car split in
half on the side of the road.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Yeah, but if they don't live, then you know they
don't get the full Well, they get the full impact,
but they don't get the full understanding of what they
were doing and the results of their poor judgment, which
not only endangered him or her, but everyone else around.
You just want them to learn a lesson, Yes, a
very painful and expensive lesson.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
The ultimate lesson, not the ultimate lesson.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
I want them to lose their car, lose their license,
be financially ruined. I don't want them to die. Oh
that's generous of you. Okay, Yeah, I mean honestly, I
don't wish death on anyone. I may mock them after
the fact, but I don't wish death on anyone. You softy. Well,
look that's somebody's brother, somebody's daughter, someone's friend. You know,
(25:49):
it's someone's idiot, is one's okay? So I mean, look,
I was a knucklehead, maybe not to this degree, but
I was a knucklehead, and you know I didn't want
anyone wishing to death on me. So I don't wish
death on you. But if it should happen to come,
because if you stupidity, then that's okay. I'll accept that.
(26:09):
If you get hit by a train, you earned that.
You did everything in your power to bring that on yourself,
either walking on the train tracks, sleeping on the train tracks,
trying to drive across the train tracks. You don't accidentally
get hit by a train ever. Ever, No, ever, the
only way you get accidentally get hit by a train,
(26:30):
it has to be not your fault, like someone pushes
you on the tracks, which has happened, Which is why
whenever I go to any type of sitting room going
on the subway, like in Washington, DC, I never stand
near the edge. Never. I'm not in a rush to
get on a train. I will let thirty people get
on before me, and I will stand twenty feet back always.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Do you know when I've been walking and I approach
a train track and the things coming down, I don't
even get close to the curb. I stand in the
middle of the block. I will wait. I don't want
to be that close to it.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Well, if I'm driving my car and the the things,
the arms come down, I've stayed at least ten fifteen
feet back from there because I've seen too many movies
where they you know, they hit the carra hit you
from behind and push you in in the path of
the train. Yeah, I'm not gonna end up. I think
like they didn't lethal Weapon four. I'm not gonna end
up like Lethal Weapon four. It's Later with mo Kelly
(27:20):
KFIM six forty. We have a beach update. You know
what that means, don't go into water.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty KFI.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Mister bo Kelly, We're live on YouTube and the iHeartRadio app,
and you probably could have seen this news coming the
La County Department of Health is warning of ocean water
recreation at several county beaches because the bacteria levels are high.
And it seems like whenever we talk about this, have
you noticed they never circle back to say it's safe
(27:54):
to go back into water. We always hear when it's
not safe, and it's kind of open ended. It's almost
like until further notice. They never ever give us any
other notice after the fact, they just sort of assume
it's better a week from No, that's true. You've reported
this like three times and there's never been a retractioner
saying no follow in now. No never say like, hey
(28:15):
all Claire, back to your levels are cool. But they
do list a number recorded information on beach conditions available
twenty four hours a day at the County Beach's hotline,
the County Beach Hotline. Wow, I didn't know it had
a hotline eight hundred five to two five five six
six two. Now we're not giving away anything eight hundred
five to two five five six six two. If you
(28:36):
want to recorded information on beach conditions, let me give
you some specifics. It's all bad news, all bad news
to Pega Candy Beach in Malibu one hundred yards up
and down the coast from the lagoon. Just in case
you know where the lagoon is. Redonald Beach peer oh.
I used to go there all the time, one hundred
yards up and down the coast from the pier. And
(28:58):
if you ever go to Redonald Beach the pier, you
don't go in the water. You just kind of go
to the pier. You don't go in the water. You
shouldn't go in the water. Ramirez Creek at Paradise Cove
one hundred yards up and down the coast from the pier.
Santa Monica Pier one hundred yards up and down the
coast from the pier, So just think the pier one
(29:18):
hundred yards up or down. Castle Rock Storm Drain at
Tipanga County Beach one hundred yards up and down the
coast from the storm drain, Mother's Beach and Marina de Ray.
Stay your ass out of the water altogether. The entire
swim area is dangerous high bacteria levels. The entire swim
(29:39):
area at Mother's Beach Marina del Ray also enter Cabrio Beach.
Some people say Cabrillo, but I say Cabrio. Cabrio Beach,
San Pedro, the entire swim area, the bell Air Bay Club,
will Rogers State Beach one hundred yards up and down
the coast of the club border fence. And again, if
(30:00):
you should need any recorded information on beach conditions, it's
available twenty four hours at eight hundred five two five
five six six two mark. Have you been in any
beach in southern California since you've lived down here? Are
you crazy?
Speaker 5 (30:15):
No?
Speaker 7 (30:15):
I just thought I would ask. I thought that you hadn't,
but I was wondering. No, But what about in Seattle?
I mean I would go to the beach to walk
and not go in the water. Did you go in
as a kid?
Speaker 1 (30:29):
I know you had life, you were lifeguarded for like
a city pool, But I mean as a kid. I'm
sure my immune system was far healthier when I was
a child. How are you the boy in a plastic bubble?
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Well, you don't want to be swimming around with the
sordid items that you would encounter floating in the water.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Would you mean like a toilet? Yeah, much like a
toilet in fact? Yes? All right, Hey, Stephen Wall, was
the last time you were in the water at a
beach I'd probably say like maybe three years ago. It's
been a minute. Brave, that's brave. Yeah, yeah, twallaw what
about you ever the last cent I think serious?
Speaker 3 (31:11):
No, wait wait wait wait wait the last I think
My daughter might have been five, so that's about ten
years ago. But that's because she wanted to go get
in the water. She was too little to get in
by herselves. Actually yeah, yeah, she's five and she didn't
want to go on by herself, and we got in
seaweed touched her leg we were out, so it's like
in seaweed out.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Yeah, the sea, we'd be moving and tickling your leg.
There's too much. Yeah, and I made it out to
be much bigger than it was. I was like, oh
my god, we.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
Don't know what that is, out of shark fish whatever.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Yeah, I was like, let's go. The last time I
was in the water, it was actually as part of
a cruise. We went to Megan's Bay I think it
was the British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean, and I
got sunburned. Yes, black people get sunburned. Got sunburned because
we were in the water for like two hours or so,
(32:02):
and when especially when you're in the Caribbean. The water
is beautiful, it's clear, but the reflection off the water
is what gets you sunburned so easily.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
I think I would go in the water in one
of those foreign countries where they tend not to use
their coastal areas as a toilet, and you can the
water is clear and blue.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Oh, it's gorgeous. It's something out of like a travel magazine.
You don't think that that exactly exists anywhere, but it
really does. Where you can see the bottom like ten
feet down. It's just it's right right. So you go
to Fubu Island, Foboo Island. Oh you didn't go to
that event? No?
Speaker 3 (32:38):
Oh yeah, I think it was an event that they had.
It was Club Hedonism Na Na. It was at one
island near Puerto Rico. They had rented out the gentlemen
from Fubu rented out the island. It was a big
launch that had lkujpiform It's a big thing. But the
best part about it was getting in the water, seeing
(32:59):
crystal clear blue ward and being able to see i
don't know, maybe a mile out and just see straight.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Oh almost the four You can see fish for a distance.
That was crazy. Yeah. But see, I don't go to
music industry events anymore because oh, this, this was bruh.
This is prior to marriage. Okay, that's why I said.
This was years ago, at least two decades ago. I
can't go to music industry events anymore. I can't. Nothing
(33:28):
good comes of it. Either I'm going to run into
someone I knew in a biblical sense, or I'm going
to run into someone who knew me in a biblical sense.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
Now I got down in the biblical sense. Oh, Carnecie's
in the studio.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Now, I'm just saying, they're just look, I can't go
to strip clubs anymore. Can't do it. Can't do it?
Why because you're married? No, because I might know somebody,
probably their daughter is stripping there now and.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Generation little slippers. I think people tune in for the
heartwarming stories like that. It's later with Mo Kelly k
if I AM six forty live everywhere in I Heart
Radio
Speaker 4 (34:14):
At ks I and KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange
County more stimulating talk
If I am six forty years later with Mo Kelly,
We're live on YouTube and the iHeartRadio app. Oh my goodness,
I made it through the weekend. I didn't know if
I was gonna make it. They said they were gonna
burned down Los Angeles or something like that, there would
be no way that the city could survive. And I see, Stephen,
he made it. Good to see you, brother. I didn't
know if i'd ever see you again. Good to see you,
(00:43):
Mark Ronner. I see you made it just by the
skin of my teeth. I'm so lucky to be alive
right now. I was listening to you over the weekend
giving the harrowing details of all that was going on.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yeah, yeah, I'm surprised you didn't have to self medicate.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
I was, but that was for another reason. Oh, if
you say so, I'm not here to judge you. No, no, no, no,
please don't judge. But to be serious, I'm glad that
the weekend was largely uneventful. Largely given the naysayers and
the doom peddlers. LA is going to live another day.
(01:21):
Let me give you some specifics. According to LAPD and
city officials, there were some five hundred and seventy four
arrests made since June eighth. Again that since June eighth.
According to police, thirty eight arrests were made on Saturday
night for various charges, including thirty five for curfew violations,
(01:41):
one for failure to disperse and one for resisting, obstructing
or delaying a police officer, and one for resisting arrest
and Mark, I don't know if you have any update
on this next one. The department was unable to comment
on one man's testicle being shattered after he was shot
by rubber bullet from close range. You have been shot
by rubber bullet, so is there any validity to that? Possibly?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Well, I'm not completely current on my testicular news, but
I can tell you. I can tell you that rubber
bullets really smart. They hurt like hell. I have been
shot quite a number of times by them, and it's
not like you know, a smack on the wrist.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
They really hurt.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
And they may be less lethal quote munitions, but you
don't play around. You don't want to get hit anywhere
in the face or eyes, certainly with those, and I
can imagine it would do a considerable amount of damage
in the bikini area. Let's say if you were shot
in the chest by one or two of them, Can
they put people down? Do they have stopping power or
(02:43):
it's it just more like a deterrent. It certainly is
a deterrent. Trust me on this. You do not want
to experiment with this deterrent. I think mostly I got
shot like in the legs, torso in the posterior. Because
a lot of the times they'll shoot people who are
running away in a protest.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
I wonder why that is.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
I'll leave that to you for conjecturing. But you will
absolutely want eye protection or just to get the hell
out of the area if they're breaking out these rubber
bullets in a protest.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
All right, let's get some stats. Let's go down the ledger.
June seventh, there were twenty nine arrests for failure to disperse.
June eighth, there were twenty one arrests. Charges range from
attempted murder with a molotov cocktail, assault with a deadly
weapon on a police officer, looting in failure to disperse.
And again, these arrests and charges they may or may
(03:34):
not stick, they may be dropped. There's no telling how
they will be handled. We're just listing the arrests and
the associated charges. June ninth, there were ninety six arrests
for failure to disperse, fourteen arrests for looting, one each
for assault with a deadly weapon, resisting arrest, in vandalism,
or as some people say. Tuesday, June tenth, two hundred
(03:56):
and three arrests for failure to disperse, three for firearms possession,
one for assault with a deadly weapon on a peace officer,
and one for discharging a laser at an LAPD airship.
We saw that there were also seventeen arrests for curfew violations.
June eleventh, seventy one arrests for failure to disperse, seven
(04:16):
for curfew violations, two for assault with a deadly weapon
on a police officer, and one for resisting a police officer.
June twelfth, thirty three arrests for failure to disperse, thirteen
for curfew violations, one for resisting a police officer, and
one for pointing a laser at an LAPD airship. One
person who was detained for violating curfew was also arrested
(04:39):
on a robbery warrant. You dumb ass, And you know what,
there's always some idiots who goes to these things with
a laser. I mean, what are you thinking for a warrant?
Do you have a warrant? Don't you have a warrant?
That means they're already looking for you. You're going to jail
no matter what. What is your name? Certain I'm gonna
give you my name. Okay.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
There's always a handful of people like that who lower
the aggregate IQ in the whole crowd.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
And this is going to be part of my final
thought tonight, the history of protests in America. Just want
to let you know in advance. June thirteenth, eighteen arrests
for curfew violation, one for assault with a deadly weapon.
And June fourteenth, which is Saturday, the No King's Movement
protest day, thirty five arrests for curfew violation, one each
(05:27):
for failure to disperse, resisting, obstructing or delaying a police officer,
and resisting arrest. If you looked at this like on
a graph, you could see that it started off more unruly,
with more unrest near the beginning, and tapered off at
the end. So there you have it. The curfew has
(05:49):
been reduced in size and scope by Mayor Bass in
the sense of it will only begin at ten pm,
and I think it goes until six am if I'm
not mistaken, But I know it's ten pm until the
Mark Ronner was shaking his head, so until six am.
So we're moving in a positive direction in that that way. Well,
(06:11):
let me just ask Twalla, how is your father's day?
It's fantastic.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
It's fantastic, especially after you called me and said, no, Ta,
we don't have to be on the air tonight.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Because La didn't burned down. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
I was on my way and you saved me a
trip with the news that said, hey, it's dying down,
we don't have to go on.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yeah, there was a possibility that we would have been
on last night from six to nine pm, but circumstances
did not require that. So it was good for the
city and it was good for us. What about you?
What'd you get into? My wife and I we went
to this place called Roca in Bellflower. It is like
a it's almost like an Indian I don't want to
(06:54):
call it Spanish and Indiana and when I say India,
I mean India South Asian. It's a mixed cuisine type restaurant.
They have belly dancing. They have this great food. I
had this, Yeah, I had this lobster mac and cheese
that was so damn good, so good. My wife and
I said, we're gonna go back just to get that.
(07:15):
That was an appetizer. I got the salmon and like
mixed cuisine. For the main entree, I got salmon and
also like a pesto sauce pasta. They had all types
of cuisine in there. And it's a whiskey bar, so
I got to sample various whiskeys from around the world. Mark, Ronnie,
you would have really appreciated it. I'm being serious.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I know I've been known to take a drink from
time to time judiciously.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
No, I didn't. I didn't because my mind was just racing.
Usually on a Sunday night, I'm thinking about all the
stuff that I need to do, Like, for example, I
had to I had to go to Spectrum News early
this morning. It was just, you know, just just back
into the swing of things. Yeah, real quick.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Though.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Rubber bullets can shout a testicle. It's called testical rupture,
and it can cause testicular infraction, which is tissue death.
Testicular torsion permanent twist. Twist of the spermatic cord infection
and infertility not recommended.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Then if I can sum up, that's a very cheery
start to the show. Let me just add one thing.
It is the Long Suffering One's birthday today.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Oh what? And it's also my sister's birthday. The geminis
in the house. Happy birthday to Marie O'Kelly green. She
probably doesn't like me using her name, but I use
it anyway. She's a whole twenty three today. So it's
the Long Suffering One. It's late with Mokela. We're gonna
catch up with the ongoing when we talk about protests.
(08:50):
The Long Beach nurses. They're having a candlelight vigil and
also an informational picket talk about being smart with the protests.
Will they explain everything which is going on as part
of the candidlight vigil And we'll be joined on the
program next by Brandy Welch, who is a registered nurse,
a pediatric nurse. That's next IM six forty and YouTube.
(09:11):
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty with mo Kelly.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
One six FI. It's later with mo Kelly. We're live
on YouTube and the iHeartRadio app. Registered nurses at Memorial
Care Long Beach Medical Center and Miller Children's and Women's
Hospital in Long Beach have been holding an informational picket
right now to highlight their patient safety concerns stemming from
(09:46):
the layoff of dozens of nurses and healthcare workers. Where
it's happening is Memorial Care Long Beach Medical Center, which
is twenty eight oh one Atlantic Avenue in Long Beach,
and joining me right now is pediatric nurse Brandy Welch
to give us an up date as Welch, how are
you this evening?
Speaker 5 (10:01):
All things considered, I'm doing okay. Thank you for asking
and thank you for having me on this evening.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Absolutely we have been following this story closely. What did
you hope to achieve with this candlelight vigil?
Speaker 5 (10:17):
Well, we really need to highlight the patient safety concerns
that we as nurses at Long Beach, Memorial Miller Children's
have with these layoffs and our ability to care for
the public in the best possible way.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
The last time I spoke to anyone connected to this issue, actually,
the last two times there had been no movement from management.
There had been no communication, there had been no type
of overture to suggest that they were ready to come
to the table. Has that changed it? All?
Speaker 5 (10:50):
That has changed mildly. We do have a bargaining date
set for June twenty sixth, and there's two more dates
set for July eighth in eighteenth, but they're all far
and few between, and it really isn't allowing us to
solve the contract in a timely fashion.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Talk to me about what's happening at the hospital right now.
There was a one day strike and that was part
of the first day of what was a five day
lockout by management. Now I would have to assume correct
me if I'm wrong that the normal nursing staff is
back in place. What is the morale like? What is
patient care like?
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Patient care is being taken care of to the best
of our ability, And as far as the mood, the
mood is somber. We are losing friends and family, as
we call it, to our staff, and it is impacting
our ability to care because of we're losing those individuals
(11:50):
that are there to support.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
When you sit down at the table, you need not
tell me all the strategy and specifics, but what do
you think is the top line item that nurses are
going to be asking for or is something that is
just just impossible to avoid.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
Patient safety and asking for metal detection or medical medical
detectors at each opening, public public opening, and of course
retention of nurses. Well, they're laying off nurses when we
should be keeping them.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Let's talk about that. When you talk about the medical
detective excuse me, metal detectors, there is a safety issue
for just the environment in which you work, having nothing
to do with the patients. Am I reading that correctly?
Speaker 5 (12:40):
It's for not only the nurses, but for the public
as well. We want everyone to feel safe coming into
the medical center for their care, and to do that,
we need to have those metal detectors at each opening.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Right now, you're in the middle, I mean statistically, right
in the middle of this candlelight visual. Tell me about
what people are saying or what is the general public saying,
what other nurses are saying during this vigil.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
During this vigil, we want a safe contract, we want
safe patient care to be a priority for the medical center,
and we want retention of our nurses.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Is there anyone, to the best of your knowledge from management,
who is monitoring this vigil or just watching any Are
they playing any role.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
There's no role being played. Only security there. They say
it's there to protect us, but it's to make sure
that we're not getting rowdy, which we would never do.
It's a peaceful protest, okay.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Well along those lines of a peaceful protest, have there
has there been any end antagonism by management in this
way to push you in the direction of a non
peaceful protest?
Speaker 5 (13:56):
None at this time.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
How is it your families are responding. I know it's
one thing to hear about this in the media. It's
one thing for you to talk about it from your
personal perspective. But I'm quite sure you have friends and
family who may be listening right now who may be
wondering where all this is going. What is it you're
hearing from them?
Speaker 5 (14:17):
They are hearing about the discord at the hospital between
the nurses and the management team. They are aware of it,
and they are all watching it very closely. They are concerned,
especially the family and friends in the area, about patient
safety and care they may receive at the medical center.
(14:38):
I just reassuring that the nurses are doing their utmost
to take care of each and every patient to the
best of our ability.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
If you're just turning in my guess right now, as
pediatric nurse Brandy Welch, as we talk about the labor
issues at the Long Beach Memorial Medical Center and this Welch,
I'm an outsider. So when I see headlines sometimes I
don't know how they connect or disconnect. I know that
Blair can't The CEO of Memorial Cares Long Beach Campus
(15:06):
recently retired after being on administrative leave for months. How
does that figure into this at all? How should I
look at that as an outsider? From where you sit.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
As an outsider, well, we've seen two CEOs leave in
the last three years, and people will have to read
into that as to what they would think about it.
As far as the nurses, we do see the upheople
that's happening inside the house and we would like to
see it calm down a bit.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
You may mentioned to I guess John Bishop, who previously
had resigned it in twenty twenty two. Do we Is
it fair to say that either one neither was more
or less sympathetic to your issues or not.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
I believe they pretty much are reading the same story.
There's no change in how they are treating the nurses.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Okay, it has. My last question to you is after
this point, what's the next step. Now you said that
there's going to be some sort of meeting on the
twenty eighth, Is that correct between you and management?
Speaker 5 (16:15):
Yes, it's the twenty sixth of Cheer sixth. The bargaining
team goes back to the table and we'll see what
they have to present to us. We will present to
them first, and then they will present back and we'll
see what the reaction is.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
So that means sometime after the twenty six either you
or Amy Wolke or someone has to come back on
this show and give us an update. Is that all right?
Speaker 5 (16:37):
That is great? One of us will.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
She's Brandy Welch, pediatric nurse. Miss Welch. Thank you for
coming on this evening and we will definitely be in
touch and continue to watch this story.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Great. Thank you again for having this on and hearing
our voice.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
We appreciate it absolutely.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 6 (17:05):
I remember standing right across from me Winds I remember
an old man.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Next to me me, Metro can't I mister mo Kelly.
We're live everywhere on YouTube and the iHeartRadio app, and
sometimes Metro just does it to itself. I don't even
have Look, it's not my fault. Okay, this is all
(17:42):
on Metro and this is exactly what I mean. The
Metro k line this morning was experiencing delays because a
person was found dead on the subway tracks. Well, if
if a person is found dead on the subway tracks
or what are the betting odds that it has something
to do with Metro? What are the betting odds? Okay?
(18:02):
Then Metro got its statement together because they had to
huddle up and say, okay, guys, how we're gonna explain
this dead body on the tracks? I need the best ideas, Okay, Mark, go,
Stefan go, Twala go. And then they finally came up, well,
why don't we go ahead and tell the truth that
we run the mother father over And they said, okay,
(18:23):
let's go with that. So a spokesman this is true.
A spokesman for Metro later said a statement that a
person was riding between two railcars when they fell onto
the tracks. The person died after being hit by a
k Line train. They should have led with that when
(18:48):
you start off with the k Line is experiencing delays
this morning. There seems to be an obstruction on the tracks.
You're really really trying to undersell it. Start with the
part of we hit somebody. They're dead. You're probably not
(19:08):
going to get to your job on time. Please make
other arrangements. There's a dead body. It's almost like the
movie stand by Me. You want to see a dead body.
There's a dead body on the tracks.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Now.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Is it the fault of Metro that someone ended up
dead on the tracks? I don't know. I don't know.
Maybe this person decided to jump off a platform and
started walking down one of the tunnels and then got
run over. I don't know. I don't know. But you know,
usually the truth is the best thing to lead with,
(19:43):
because when he tried to soft pedal the truth, then
it looks like you don't want us to know exactly
how he ended up. Have you seen it on social media?
They don't say dead anymore than they say un alive,
because they're trying to manipulate or not get shadow band
or not get their profiles hidden by using the word dead,
(20:04):
I'm gonna use it dead. They killed him dead like raid.
They killed him dead. He wasn't unalived. He was killed.
And I can say this my time. When I was
writing Metro, there were at least two or three deaths.
I think two were suicides, and I think one was
a car. I wasn't in the train, but you know,
(20:24):
if you're like a on the same track, you could
be three cars back and it just stops.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
The whole line. Well, show some sensitivity, for God's sake.
Their lives were negatively impacted. Oh, it was a positive impact.
It was certainly an impact with a negative result, but
the impact positive.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
It happened. Well done, Well done. What were you gonna
say too?
Speaker 2 (20:45):
What?
Speaker 1 (20:45):
What? What I was gonna go with?
Speaker 3 (20:48):
I was gonna go with a sudden impact joke, But
it just doesn't it doesn't fit right.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Now, you're feeling lucky Metro writing bunk. I guess you
had to have seen the movie. Now does this make
you want to get on or get off Metro? I
would be less inclined. I'd be disinclined to ride Metro
if I knew that they were running people down. I
don't know. I don't know. I need to know if
(21:15):
I get on at six in the morning, that I
don't have to worry about, or reasonably worry about a
dead body on the tracks making me late to work,
because it's all about me. Now, see, here's the thing,
all about me.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
It may not be metro related, but people are dying
on these tracks all the time. I rather worked for
the railroad and these trains that you hear going around
the city late at night, all throughout the day, stopping
up traffic when you're trying to get somewhere. These trains
hit people, They hit vehicles that are stopped on the
(21:46):
track because along the train tracks lots of times is
where homeless people are sleeping. Yeah, that's exactly what's happened to.
There are homeless camps that are set up, people too
close to the tracks, people falling asleep on the tracks,
and that's it.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Not only that, if you've ever driven down Crenshaw like
that Slosson Corridor, you're driving down Crenshaw north south right
along Sloughson or so at that junction, you will see
people trying to dart across Crenshaw in their cars because
they want to beat the train. All the day time,
I want to wait for it. It's like, yeah, okay,
(22:23):
this is a bad accident, just waiting to happen because
you know the sequence of lights, and they don't want
to wait for the light, so they're just gonna dash
across the tracks sometimes forgetting there may be a train
coming in the other direction, and you know, it's wild.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
As my brother always tells me, people think trains aren't
moving fast. Trains are faster than you can imagine, and
they will catch you.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
I don't know. I think they're in around the sixty
to seventy five mile an hour range if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Some of the bigger trains are faster, some of the
trains that are carrying more because they have to build
up that speed because you never know when you're gonna
hit it incline or something like that, so they try
to maintain a nice solid speed.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Yeah, when they tell you do not try to beat
the train across the tracks, they mean that, and and
to your point, but you know, we have a lot
of dumb people out there who are determined to just
disregard and maybe let me just digress for a second.
Has everyone seen the increase in disregard for driving in
the sense of just go ahead and just speeding through lights. Yeah,
(23:25):
ignoring stop sign absolutely, just complete disregard.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Today, a man in a silver Astro Mini van he
I wish I could, because he sped up on on
the opposite so he was went through the left hand
turn of you know, opposite to a direction I'm going yep,
sped into that lane and came all the way around
cars through the red light to get through to the
(23:49):
other side, Like he just did not want to wait
in the back waiting to go his turn.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
I've seen that. And also what I see more often
than not is the idiot, Okay, the light is red,
and the idiot who's going to come up on the
right and pass everybody if it light turns green or
they will anticipate it turning green, and then they're going
through the intersection while it's red. Yeah. Yeah. And it's
(24:13):
almost like in the back of my mind, I'm thinking, like,
is there any way he can just get clipped And
I don't want to. He want to get hurt. I
just wanted to get clipped and end up running over
the curb and ruining his car.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
That's not enough. People have to be unalived for the
message to get through, don't do it.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
I think these people think they're going to respawn like
they're playing a video game. And I can promise you
I've covered a lot of car train accidents earlier in
my career. You don't respond, but you're rendered into raspberry preserves.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
See. I don't want him to die. I want him
to understand that it was their fault and suffer the
consequences for the rest of their lives. That's all I want.
I want him to be reminded every single day that
was my dumb ass. You know what it was?
Speaker 3 (24:59):
In a reminder their dumb ass is car split in
half on the side of the road.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Yeah, but if they don't live, then you know they
don't get the full Well, they get the full impact,
but they don't get the full understanding of what they
were doing and the results of their poor judgment, which
not only endangered him or her, but everyone else around.
You just want them to learn a lesson, Yes, a
very painful and expensive lesson.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
The ultimate lesson, not the ultimate lesson.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
I want them to lose their car, lose their license,
be financially ruined. I don't want them to die. Oh
that's generous of you. Okay, Yeah, I mean honestly, I
don't wish death on anyone. I may mock them after
the fact, but I don't wish death on anyone. You softy. Well,
look that's somebody's brother, somebody's daughter, someone's friend. You know,
(25:49):
it's someone's idiot, is one's okay? So I mean, look,
I was a knucklehead, maybe not to this degree, but
I was a knucklehead, and you know I didn't want
anyone wishing to death on me. So I don't wish
death on you. But if it should happen to come,
because if you stupidity, then that's okay. I'll accept that.
(26:09):
If you get hit by a train, you earned that.
You did everything in your power to bring that on yourself,
either walking on the train tracks, sleeping on the train tracks,
trying to drive across the train tracks. You don't accidentally
get hit by a train ever. Ever, No, ever, the
only way you get accidentally get hit by a train,
(26:30):
it has to be not your fault, like someone pushes
you on the tracks, which has happened, Which is why
whenever I go to any type of sitting room going
on the subway, like in Washington, DC, I never stand
near the edge. Never. I'm not in a rush to
get on a train. I will let thirty people get
on before me, and I will stand twenty feet back always.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Do you know when I've been walking and I approach
a train track and the things coming down, I don't
even get close to the curb. I stand in the
middle of the block. I will wait. I don't want
to be that close to it.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Well, if I'm driving my car and the the things,
the arms come down, I've stayed at least ten fifteen
feet back from there because I've seen too many movies
where they you know, they hit the carra hit you
from behind and push you in in the path of
the train. Yeah, I'm not gonna end up. I think
like they didn't lethal Weapon four. I'm not gonna end
up like Lethal Weapon four. It's Later with mo Kelly
(27:20):
KFIM six forty. We have a beach update. You know
what that means, don't go into water.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty KFI.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Mister bo Kelly, We're live on YouTube and the iHeartRadio app,
and you probably could have seen this news coming the
La County Department of Health is warning of ocean water
recreation at several county beaches because the bacteria levels are high.
And it seems like whenever we talk about this, have
you noticed they never circle back to say it's safe
(27:54):
to go back into water. We always hear when it's
not safe, and it's kind of open ended. It's almost
like until further notice. They never ever give us any
other notice after the fact, they just sort of assume
it's better a week from No, that's true. You've reported
this like three times and there's never been a retractioner
saying no follow in now. No never say like, hey
(28:15):
all Claire, back to your levels are cool. But they
do list a number recorded information on beach conditions available
twenty four hours a day at the County Beach's hotline,
the County Beach Hotline. Wow, I didn't know it had
a hotline eight hundred five to two five five six
six two. Now we're not giving away anything eight hundred
five to two five five six six two. If you
(28:36):
want to recorded information on beach conditions, let me give
you some specifics. It's all bad news, all bad news
to Pega Candy Beach in Malibu one hundred yards up
and down the coast from the lagoon. Just in case
you know where the lagoon is. Redonald Beach peer oh.
I used to go there all the time, one hundred
yards up and down the coast from the pier. And
(28:58):
if you ever go to Redonald Beach the pier, you
don't go in the water. You just kind of go
to the pier. You don't go in the water. You
shouldn't go in the water. Ramirez Creek at Paradise Cove
one hundred yards up and down the coast from the pier.
Santa Monica Pier one hundred yards up and down the
coast from the pier, So just think the pier one
(29:18):
hundred yards up or down. Castle Rock Storm Drain at
Tipanga County Beach one hundred yards up and down the
coast from the storm drain, Mother's Beach and Marina de Ray.
Stay your ass out of the water altogether. The entire
swim area is dangerous high bacteria levels. The entire swim
(29:39):
area at Mother's Beach Marina del Ray also enter Cabrio Beach.
Some people say Cabrillo, but I say Cabrio. Cabrio Beach,
San Pedro, the entire swim area, the bell Air Bay Club,
will Rogers State Beach one hundred yards up and down
the coast of the club border fence. And again, if
(30:00):
you should need any recorded information on beach conditions, it's
available twenty four hours at eight hundred five two five
five six six two mark. Have you been in any
beach in southern California since you've lived down here? Are
you crazy?
Speaker 5 (30:15):
No?
Speaker 7 (30:15):
I just thought I would ask. I thought that you hadn't,
but I was wondering. No, But what about in Seattle?
I mean I would go to the beach to walk
and not go in the water. Did you go in
as a kid?
Speaker 1 (30:29):
I know you had life, you were lifeguarded for like
a city pool, But I mean as a kid. I'm
sure my immune system was far healthier when I was
a child. How are you the boy in a plastic bubble?
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Well, you don't want to be swimming around with the
sordid items that you would encounter floating in the water.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Would you mean like a toilet? Yeah, much like a
toilet in fact? Yes? All right, Hey, Stephen Wall, was
the last time you were in the water at a
beach I'd probably say like maybe three years ago. It's
been a minute. Brave, that's brave. Yeah, yeah, twallaw what
about you ever the last cent I think serious?
Speaker 3 (31:11):
No, wait wait wait wait wait the last I think
My daughter might have been five, so that's about ten
years ago. But that's because she wanted to go get
in the water. She was too little to get in
by herselves. Actually yeah, yeah, she's five and she didn't
want to go on by herself, and we got in
seaweed touched her leg we were out, so it's like
in seaweed out.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Yeah, the sea, we'd be moving and tickling your leg.
There's too much. Yeah, and I made it out to
be much bigger than it was. I was like, oh
my god, we.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
Don't know what that is, out of shark fish whatever.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Yeah, I was like, let's go. The last time I
was in the water, it was actually as part of
a cruise. We went to Megan's Bay I think it
was the British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean, and I
got sunburned. Yes, black people get sunburned. Got sunburned because
we were in the water for like two hours or so,
(32:02):
and when especially when you're in the Caribbean. The water
is beautiful, it's clear, but the reflection off the water
is what gets you sunburned so easily.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
I think I would go in the water in one
of those foreign countries where they tend not to use
their coastal areas as a toilet, and you can the
water is clear and blue.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Oh, it's gorgeous. It's something out of like a travel magazine.
You don't think that that exactly exists anywhere, but it
really does. Where you can see the bottom like ten
feet down. It's just it's right right. So you go
to Fubu Island, Foboo Island. Oh you didn't go to
that event? No?
Speaker 3 (32:38):
Oh yeah, I think it was an event that they had.
It was Club Hedonism Na Na. It was at one
island near Puerto Rico. They had rented out the gentlemen
from Fubu rented out the island. It was a big
launch that had lkujpiform It's a big thing. But the
best part about it was getting in the water, seeing
(32:59):
crystal clear blue ward and being able to see i
don't know, maybe a mile out and just see straight.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Oh almost the four You can see fish for a distance.
That was crazy. Yeah. But see, I don't go to
music industry events anymore because oh, this, this was bruh.
This is prior to marriage. Okay, that's why I said.
This was years ago, at least two decades ago. I
can't go to music industry events anymore. I can't. Nothing
(33:28):
good comes of it. Either I'm going to run into
someone I knew in a biblical sense, or I'm going
to run into someone who knew me in a biblical sense.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
Now I got down in the biblical sense. Oh, Carnecie's
in the studio.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Now, I'm just saying, they're just look, I can't go
to strip clubs anymore. Can't do it. Can't do it?
Why because you're married? No, because I might know somebody,
probably their daughter is stripping there now and.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Generation little slippers. I think people tune in for the
heartwarming stories like that. It's later with Mo Kelly k
