Speaker 1 (00:00):
Kf I AM six. You're listening to Later with Moe
Kelly on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Good Evening.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
It has just past eight o'clock here on this Friday,
August twenty ninth. Now, Conway just texted me you got
Channel nine on, and I got to tell you, I'm
so new here that I don't know how to even
operate all of the buttons and switches here to switch
to channel nine. I'm assuming that there might be some
update about what's going on in the pursuit. Perhaps all
of the other networks, including Katla, have gone away from
(00:31):
the coverage, so we will do some investigation and get
back to you. I tell you, I'm so new to
this place that I had to call Kayla, the producer,
and I told her every other time that I've worked here,
somebody has had to come let me in because I
didn't even have my badge yet, had cal Do you
know what I asked?
Speaker 4 (00:47):
You asked what flora you have to go to?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
I asked, what FLOORA are we on? Yeah? There's five
floors here? Six six? Yeah, Well how would I know?
I didn't even know ron or how are you doing tonight?
Lovely welcome aboard. Thank you. I I love hearing your voice,
your dulcet tones.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Yeah, oh you don't like Ronner's voice.
Speaker 6 (01:10):
I mean I would cut off the voice part of
that sentence.
Speaker 7 (01:14):
I think she's a little afraid of me, if you
want to know the truth, I think the voice makes
her quivering fear.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
It's a really it has an intimidating quality to it,
very scary, you know, as a man boy, as a
person who people think is still not fully gone through puberty,
I am a little intimidated by by dudes who have
that real deep radio thing.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Well, Mark Thompson must petrify you. I could never be
in the room with him. He's got the voice of God.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
I've interviewed him a couple of times, but only on zoom,
only on Skype.
Speaker 6 (01:41):
Because you're scared it will take away from your masculinity.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
I can't.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
It's like, yeah, it's like you know, I wouldn't stand Yeah, exactly.
It'd be like black Bolt from the Marvel comics.
Speaker 7 (01:53):
If you stand before him and he speaks, it would
flay the flesh from your skeleton.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Yeah, medium, well, yeah for sure. And Robin, how you
doing on the ones in Tuesday?
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Doing pretty good.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Does anybody go to Taco Bell?
Speaker 7 (02:06):
No? Grudgingly, No.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I go over once in a while. You get caught
short late at night? What are you gonna do?
Speaker 3 (02:12):
You gotta and to me, I'm I'm a Taco Bell
guy before I'm a lot of other option guys. You know,
I don't want I don't want to put anybody down,
but I'm going to Taco Bell. And I haven't experienced
this yet, but apparently they have tried to implement AI
and they're saying no moss to AI on the drive
through windows. One of the lessons they have learned. And
(02:35):
it's not because the AI doesn't work very well. What
do you think the problem is?
Speaker 4 (02:39):
They're giving too much food, no way, the wrong order.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Nope, the AI is doing pretty great. It's the people
that are the problem.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
People are messing with the AI, like ordering quote eighteen
thousand cups of water?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
What yeah, sounds about right?
Speaker 8 (02:58):
Why?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Because people going to Taco Bell to mess with the
AI at night? Of course that's what's going on. One
employee posted that the AI assistant started telling people that
the restaurant was out of everything but drinks and sauce packets.
A person attempting to order a Cheloupa Supreme with onions
from the AI assistant ended up with three cheloopas. When
(03:20):
they tried to replace meat with beans, the AI simply
said no. McDonald's is also trying to infuse operations with AI.
They're doing it with the goal of improving order accuracy.
Wendy's has brought Google AI into their drive through windows.
They're training it so that it knows Wendy's specific lingo,
(03:40):
like that JBC is short for Junior Bacon, Cheeseburger, white
Castle also apparently, but a lot of people have said, no,
we're not doing this. McDonald's reportedly ditched some of its
AI interactions with customers because of course it kept messing
things up, So Robin, that was the right inference.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
They also say that it's creepy. I get it. I
can see that.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
They should have Mark Thompson.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
To all evil.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
What if Mark Thompson is not available, can we get
Mark Ronner?
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Well, I mean you can still do AI Mark Thompson.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Oh, that doesn't seem fraught with any kind of legal problem.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Is that what you guys do when when on a Tuesday,
when he's off, you just have the AI Mark Thompson
come in, Oh for sure.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
And I also feel like there's a bunch of people
on the list before we get to Ronnor, you know,
not to be a hater all night.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
What's going on here?
Speaker 6 (04:36):
Mark Tom Thompson. And then we got Nil Savagra with
the amazing of voice, we got to Walla. I have
a whole bunch of people before I.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Ron Have I ever done to you?
Speaker 6 (04:45):
You make fun when I say show business on Chris
Meryl Show, and it's been beef with you ever since
on my end.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Wait, let's unpack this.
Speaker 7 (04:51):
I had no idea. Yeah, I didn't know, if you know, No,
I didn't know. This is news to me. We've had
this vendetta for what months?
Speaker 6 (04:57):
Yeah, it has to be at least at least three now,
at least three months. I've been plotting, and.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
You've just been walking into the station every single day,
right past Ronner throwing shade and he had no clue.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
Well, Roner catches my shade, but he doesn't respond much.
Speaker 7 (05:11):
Oh, I didn't realize this is some serious cask of
a mantiato ed grellan post stuff here.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
Yeah, it is really Well, I'm sorry, I is it
too late for an apology.
Speaker 7 (05:20):
It's too late now sorry one republic as well. Well,
in that case, I might as well just lean right into.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
That's right and what Sorry? I just wanted Caleb one
more time understand what did he do? He made fun
of the way you said show business.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
Well, every time Chris Merril does his show on Sundays
he goes, there's no business like and I say show business? Yeah,
and Mark, so like you're still having heard do that?
Speaker 7 (05:44):
Well, okay, My whole point was that you're better than that, Kaylee.
You don't have to debase yourself like that every single time. Really,
what this comes down to again? And really, yeah, I'm
on your side.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Chris Merrill is the problem.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
Oh all right, I'm sorry, Mark. I I'll redirect my
beef to Chris.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Chris Meryl, by the way, who fired me earlier today?
Oh yeah he did from my day job. You're no
longer with KTLA. I get the.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Formerly of KTLA. We'll see well real quickly before we
send it back to mister Ronner and his Dulcet ways
Ford has recalled five hundred thousand vehicles over potential break
fluid leaks. I wanted to tell you this because this
information if you have one of these cars, I'm alarmed
at how slowly it's going out. Ford recalling the cars
(06:32):
over modules that will lead to leaking break fluid. No
one likes a leak. A hose in the car's rear
brake system can rupture and cause a leakage. This is
happening to twenty sixteen to twenty eighteen Lincoln MKX mid
sized luxury SUVs and twenty fifteen to twenty eighteen Ford
Edge SUVs. So if you see some of those cars
(06:52):
pulled over on the side of the freeway right now,
you know they're listening to KFI. I also have to
full disclosure. I did a commercial twenty fifteen for the
Ford Edge Suv. I feel partially responsible for this. Good
luck with the class action lawsuit against me. Yeah, because
I work in local news. The driver may experienced an
(07:14):
increase in brick pedal travel and it could make your
stopping distance worse, and an increase in stopping distance could
increase the risk of a crash. Written by an attorney,
it sounds like Ford says it'll notify affected vehicle owners
of the risk in early September.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
So you're welcome.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
I'm giving you the information now so you don't have
to drive that Ford Edge off a cliff or whatever.
Check this out, though the remedy for the issue is
still under development and is not expected to be available
until April.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I don't know about you, guys. That's not enough for me.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
It takes me back to the Firestone eight Days of
the nineteen nineties. Do you guys remember this all the
Ford Explorers?
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I'm not sure. There was this.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Big issue with the Firestone tires in the nineties and
they would fail or something and it could cause your
Ford Explorer to flip, and that was obviously very dangerous.
And because all I did as a child, my brother
and I watched the news, we were transfixed with this
issue to the point where we drove down the road
(08:18):
on the freeway or to stop cars and parking lots
to try to identify if those Ford Explorers had the
Firestone at tires. I believe my brother and a dairy
queen went up to a lady and congratulated her on
not having Firestone at tires.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
He was eight years old. She uh probably looked at
us like we were insane.
Speaker 9 (08:43):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on Demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Quick update here speaking of Conway messaged me to tell
us to share with you that it appeared as if
helicopters were landing there at zoom A Beach to transport
those three kids who were involved in that pursuit that
ended in a crash on PCH will be transported down
to UCLA Medical Center where we hope that they will
(09:12):
receive as much attention that they need. It's a good
place to be if you're in a bad way.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Any news on the other driver.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
No information, I know we saw that. No, I don't
have roner. Do you have anything. I don't have any
other specific No.
Speaker 7 (09:28):
I've been keeping my eyes open on a variety of
different sources and there's nothing new coming in.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
I know that there was a bunch of other vehicles
that were involved in that crash there. It is at
PCH and Canaan Dune in Malibu. I imagine that traffic
is probably a nightmare over there. But you had a
bunch a bunch of people responding there. Four other vehicles
(09:53):
were involved in the crash, an Audi, a Fiat, and
a couple other cars.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
And like we said before.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Really really important there to hear, and good to hear
that those kids are getting the attention that they need.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Scary crash.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
As we move on on this Friday night, let's talk
about something more fun.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
You know what I love? I love game shows. Do
you guys like game shows?
Speaker 9 (10:17):
Of course?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Oh yeah, match game? Are you kidding? Old? Match game?
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Absolutely so this fall you will be in for a
treat if you like game shows, because even if you
look at just Fox, a rollout of game shows is
on the way. Lots and lots of game shows. Here
to tell us all about it is mister game show himself,
TV Bob Bob Boden.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Thanks for calling in, mister Bob.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Thank you, Andy. It's a pleasure to do this.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
So people might know you from driving around the San
Fernando Valley. If you see a car with the TV
Bob license plate, that's Bob Boden.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
Yes it is.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
And you've worked in game shows for a long time.
You've loved him since you were a kid. You've been
I think, an expert on it, literally wrote written a
few books about game shows in addition to producing a
lot of them. Is what do you love about game
shows so much?
Speaker 5 (11:11):
Well, when I was six years old, my mom took
me to a taping of the show Password in New
York and I had only had a black and white
TV at home, and all of a sudden, I'm in
a studio watching Password in living color, and it just
(11:32):
both to me. It said, this is something that I
want to do when I grow up. And I said
that to my mom. And here I am sixty years later,
not looking back for a moment, and they're exciting. They're
the American dream, wish fulfilment, being rewarded for your talent,
(11:52):
your knowledge, your experience. It's just to me, it's the
purest form of reality television, and it's a way that
people can have their fifteen seconds of fame and you know,
pay off that college loan, or buy a house, or
go on a honeymoon, take care of their family. It's
(12:14):
just a it's a fantasy in a world that's, you know,
filled with turmoil.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
So I'm just going to read through some of your
credits here shows that you've developed, supervised, and produced according
to your Wikipedia. So I don't know, Bob, if you
got to correct me, if this record is wrong. Funny,
you should ask Family Feud twenty five thousand dollars Pyramid Press,
Your Luck Card, Sharks, Home and Family, Family Game Night,
Penn and Tellers, Sin City, Spectacular House, Husbands of Hollywood.
(12:43):
What is that one about? There's so many This is
an insane list of things.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
Well, those are not all game shows, but some of
them are. And there's quite a few other game shows
that I've been a part of. Funny you Should Ask
is on right now. We start our new season on
September eighth. I'm very proud to be a part of
that show. And I've worked on a lot of classic
game shows over the years.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
And I know that you worked with Dick Clark Productions.
Like you said, the Funny you should ask is what
you're on right now? That's a Byron Allen project. Doctor
Wendy Walsh real good friends with Byron Allen here front
of the show. Why do you think there's so many
that are coming back right now? Is that the state
that Hollywood is in where we can just start them
(13:27):
up and we know what we're going to get, or
what's the what do you think is the resurgence accredited to?
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Well, there's a few factors. One is certainly cost. Game
shows are much cheaper to produce than scripted comedies and dramas.
You can bang out a whole season of a primetime
game show in one week. The shows repeat very well,
and you know you don't have you don't have a
(13:55):
lot of the expenses that you have scripted shows like
high priced performers, and so it's it's something that is
just it's easy to gang shoot them. You know, Jeopardy
does two hundred and thirty episodes a year, Family Feud
does two hundred. You could just go on and on
(14:16):
and on and have products for the air every single day,
almost year round.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
So I was talking to Conway earlier and he wanted
me to ask you, and I will say the same
for me and Mark Thompson, And why don't we throw
Mark Ronner in here as well. We're all looking to
have our shot to host a game show. And I
know you have my phone number now, so there's there's
no reason, there's no delay. What are you looking for
(14:43):
when you're looking for a game show host? That really,
you know what separates the guy who we never hear
about with somebody like an Alex Trebek.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Well, Well, the classic understanding of the role of a
game show host and the best game show hosts. I
think of all time, nderstood this the best is that
the host is not the star of the show. The
stars of the show are the contestants and the game.
And the contestants are the ones that the host will
make shine if they're good at what they do, and
(15:14):
the game is what reaches out to the people at
home to play along. They're the most interactive form of
television there is. And if a host can lead, they
used to be called MC's master of ceremony. If they
can lead in an authoritative way but in a fun,
(15:34):
entertaining way the gameplay so that you at home are
playing along thinking you might be on the show, thinking
you could win. That's the mark of a good host.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
And all of them. There's like a standards in practices.
There's a legal department. They make sure that everything is
all done real right, because a lot of television shows
we know that are in reality are not that much,
but game shows for the most part, that actually happens.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Well. Back in the lateties, there were there was a scandal.
There was a series of scandals that involved big money
game shows and the producers were giving the answers to
contestants to achieve the results that the sponsors or the
network wanted and they got yes. Yes, yes, they got caught.
(16:25):
And this led to a lot of laws that came
onto the books in the early sixties that still exists today.
And every show has a watchdog company that looks over
the fairness and the gameplay and make sure that there's
no improprieties, that everybody has the same chance to win.
(16:48):
And if you break those rules, if you are caught
cheating on a game show, you are subject to go
to federal prison. Wow, it is Yes.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Can you imagine being in federal prison because you cheat
it on a game show?
Speaker 5 (17:02):
Yeah, well was very strict.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
You guess you knew what the password was. You looked
at the little screen, you could see it.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Those are the scariest guys out there. Well, I'll tell
you what.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
I'm excited for you, and I'm excited for funny you
should ask. And I'm excited because you wrote a book
and I'd love to hear about that real quickly.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
What is it called? Yeah, what's it called?
Speaker 5 (17:28):
The book is called The Creative Leader. I co wrote
it with a colleague of mine who all the teaches
for Syracuse University with me in la. His name is
doctor Rob Carpenter, and we interviewed eleven of the top
producers in Hollywood, and we wrote a book about the
intersection of creativity and imagination, creative intelligence, and most of all, leadership.
(17:56):
And these are these are people lead by example. They
create a work environment where creativity is rewarded and they have,
you know, made millions and millions of dollars leading these
top Hollywood companies. And that's what our book is all about.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Love it, Bob Boden, Thank you so much for Colin.
Always love to talk to you. We'll see you soon.
I hope TV bob dot com is where you can
find him. You can learn about his productions. You can
send him an email or maybe Mark Thompson might send
his real for an audition for the next the next
major smash hit on on on Primetime.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
How about that?
Speaker 5 (18:39):
I love Mark Thompson.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
We did we need too?
Speaker 3 (18:42):
All right, there he goes TV Bob, thanks so much
for Colin, and we'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 9 (18:47):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Tease the story earlier.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
I know it's tough being an uber driver, It's tough
being an uber eats driver. There's a lot of weight
and on people of driving around, sitting in LA traffic,
sitting in traffic anywhere. You always want to reach over
into the bag and maybe grab a fry too. They
don't let you do that anymore. They got they got
hip to that with those stickers. Well, for this next story,
we go all the way to Atlanta, where deputies arrested
(19:17):
Frederick Riley after a door dash incident.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
He wasn't the driver, he was the eater. Here's what happened.
He ordered some food. I don't know where he ordered from.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Doesn't say, but uh, you know, let's say Arby's.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
It's kind of material taco bell.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
The driver picked up the order, got it safely to
his house, walked up the steps. The driver was a woman.
She knocks on the door to deliver the food, and
Frederick Riley answers the door and for all the marbles,
what's wrong with him?
Speaker 2 (19:54):
He's ugly, he may be. We're not here to judge.
We can only report on what we know for sure.
He was naked. Yep, yep, yep, yep. So you know
that's a normal thing.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
I guess that happens here in uh in suburban Atlanta.
Is it because well, I guess it wasn't that normal?
She called nine one one in between that time, and
sometime later he orders another item, maybe this time from
dairy Queen, maybe fud Ruckers, maybe Pigley Wiggily who knows.
(20:31):
Another female driver brings him his food for all the marbles?
Speaker 2 (20:36):
What has he got? Still no clothes?
Speaker 3 (20:40):
She calls nine one one, and a female deputy responds,
knocks on his door, body cam on He answers.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
It completely nude? Is he like a newdist You.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Know, we don't know his his motivation here other than
that if he's not a new tois he's at least
an exhibitionist. The deputy knocked on the door and announced
door it said door dash and then, apparently in the
bodycam footage, according to Fox five Atlanta, a dog is
heard barking from inside within a minute, perhaps long enough
(21:15):
to put pants on. They say they're speculating Riley opened
the door. He was naked again, Deputies say, not for
the first time that night, as you heard, one of
the drivers was able to snap a picture of him
at the front door, and allegedly in this video he's
He appears shocked when he's told he's being charged with
publican decency. I guess if you do it multiple times,
(21:37):
you maybe are surprised. Clearly he didn't think it was weird.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Did he invite one of the Uber drivers inside? I
just know he he just said thanks.
Speaker 6 (21:45):
Oh, I saw TikTok that he invited one of them,
and I can't believe TikTok that's right.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
I mean that may be true, it's not according to
Fox five Atlanta.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Do you think anybody's at Fox five Atlanta is awake
right now? Think anybody at this as I'm a dust Should.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
We called him and see da midnight on a on
a Friday. Yeah, it's impossible there. I don't know how
sober they are, but they may be a week.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Let's see what we can get Atlanta. We try to
call Fox five Atlanta. I don't think we're gonna get fucked,
but I'll try.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Let's get on it.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 7 (22:12):
It's pretty funny, not how you give the driver a tip,
that kind of tip, how long and you have that loaded?
I was trying to see if Robin was watching over
the rim shot button.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
But apparently we've got nothing she's saying, she's shaking her head.
No like it.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
It wasn't deserved. I don't believe that is her prerogative. Oh,
I don't know. She's got the rim shot button. She
could she's she's the master of her domain over there.
Michael Man, it is a It is an all out
war on Mark Ronner tonight.
Speaker 7 (22:47):
Surprised you can move with that kevlar you're wearing in there.
Oh yeah, what Mark. That's a tough joke because people
can't see that's radio. I know they can't see that.
She's what that's a cool kind of like a tactical situation.
What's going on? Explain it?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Please? Please?
Speaker 4 (23:01):
It's a weighted fest.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Ah, you're working at work?
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Sure, what what is? Hey, we'll go with that one
is it'll do it. I'm I'm I'm legitimately very curious
about about this. I didn't even notice.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
That's neat.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
That is very interesting. You didn't notice that.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
You had a waited best on first.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Thing that I had anything on.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Usually your hands to the door without eddie close. Yes,
I remember I do that all the time. That's your vibe. Well,
thank god you're not in Atlanta, suburban Atlanta. He was
arrested for uh indecent exposure and then he was out
on a twelve hundred dollars bond, where I guess he
can continue on his.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Ways, continue opening the door naked.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
It's just a really weird kink.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
That's one of those things where you got to think, like,
I can only do this once.
Speaker 10 (23:57):
It's like a flasher, but instead of opening his coat
opening the door.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Usually I'm not on the side of the uber eats
drivers in Sometimes in La I think sometimes when they
sit and they take up parking spots for people who
are are going out to eat, that drives me crazy.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Who aren't you a little bit too young for that
to being driven crazy by people taking up parking spots.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
Yeah, I think that's kind of an old man complaint.
Aren't they just like there for a second.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
No, sometimes they'll just sit there and hang out, Like
in Studio City, they'll just be wait no no no, no, no,
no no no.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
It's like sometimes because the food's.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Not ready, or or they're just waiting for an order
and they know they're in an area where they're probably
going to get an order, and it's a personal gripe.
I try not to have these opinions. My doctor says
it's not good for me.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
It's a young man complaint. I apologize. You can gripe
about that, Kayla.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
I told you I turned thirty seven last week'say birthday.
Getting up there, I am, I am, I am, getting
up there and coming up we'll talk about why people
look so young these days, why men used to look old,
and why men now look young, at least according to
conspiracy theories on the internet.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Don't you love it?
Speaker 9 (25:09):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KF I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Do you guys think guys look young now? Yes?
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Men used to look older, so the internet says, and true.
I'll say, as somebody who's been on the in the
lucky uh situation of being on television enough that people
will message me what they think about me all hours
of the day.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Lucky you. Some of it good, most of it.
Speaker 11 (25:37):
The TV does add gray hair. It adds gray, Yes,
it does. That's I've not heard. I've heard pounds, but
I've not heard gray. So TV people gray. For sure,
you look older on TV.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
I look older.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
The front of your hair, it's like they turned it gray.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
It is gray, though, it's just good.
Speaker 10 (25:56):
But like lights, Yeah, I'm just say significantly more people
think I diet.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
I don't. But a lot of people think it's very young.
And I hear that a lot. Let's say, look at
this guy without his jaw line, look at this overgrown teenager,
and I thought it might just be me. But apparently
I'm not the only one. Because if you think about Jaws,
the movie, not the concept, like we were aforementioning my
lack thereof jawline, Richard Dreyfuss back in nineteen seventy five,
(26:27):
Jaws one fifty years old. This year, guess how old
he was? Twenty six years old. That guy has gray
in his beard. He looks grizzled and haggard. Might have
been because of arguments he was getting in with Robert Shaw.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (26:46):
Shaw was older than he looked too. He was only
fifty one when he died. And look at how he
looked in that movie. He was forty six in that movie,
I think, and he does. He looks like a He
looks like an old, grizzled New Englander.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
But he was a big drinker though, take a little
out of you. Well, there's a whole conspiracy theory. Let's
get into it exactly why this is according to the
New York Post new YouTube video series called make It
Make Sense, which I think is pretty interesting and very cool.
Let's take a listen, and let's take a listen. Hold on,
Oh my god, this is so embarrassing. I swear this
(27:18):
never happens.
Speaker 8 (27:18):
Is how men used to look older and how men
of the same age today look like little children by comparison.
And when you look through the example shared online, it
does seem kind of weird. So did men actually used
to look older? Are we just a bunch of big babies?
Speaker 7 (27:37):
Now?
Speaker 8 (27:38):
There's actually quite a few rational explanations, and I'm going
to get into those. When you look at the actual
data of testosterone levels in America, you can see that
testosterone levels and men have dropped significantly over the last
few decades. Scientific studies estimate a one percent drop in
(27:59):
testosterone levels each year since the nineteen seventies.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Which is like fifty percent. That's a huge amount of drop.
And that's the major conspiracy, is that all of us
soy boys with low testosterone and high estrogen.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
Interesting, I was gonna ask a question about that.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
I was like, so lestostro yes, does you look like
a lady or at least not as masculine.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
Smooth as that? Baby?
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Let's see what else it could be.
Speaker 8 (28:32):
You know what people in the seventies used to call
sunscreen baby oil? They were basically rotisserie chickening themselves under
the sun for a golden brown tan. Your dad's skincare
routine in nineteen seventy nine was a bar of ivory
soap and a splash of old spice. Today people have
(28:54):
entire ten step rituals like their Patrick Bateman in American Psycho.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
I don't though, I'm still basically just a bar of
soap and some and some lotion.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
I don't know. I don't know if that works for me.
Speaker 8 (29:13):
Everyone used to smoke cigarettes. Everyone baseball player smoked, Your
doctor smoke. You're pregnant on smoke.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
I get that. I think that's fair.
Speaker 8 (29:24):
Smoked people smoked on the plane. There were like eighteen
ashtrays in every American home. But guess what. Smoking sucks
and destroys your body. It damages key proteins that give
your skin elasticity and firmness, thus causing wrinkles and sagginess.
It also reduces blood flow and the delivery of oxygen,
(29:46):
which can cause discoloration and dullness in the skin.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Do you guys buy this? I think that that makes
a lot of sense to me.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Oh yeah, because I remember being you know, like I said,
late thirties, so I remember the major push in the
nineties to make smoking like.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
The worst thing that anybody could do.
Speaker 6 (30:06):
And I love old school movies like I love in shows.
I Love Lucy is one of my favorites, and it's like,
you couldn't not have a cigarette.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
They're smoking all the time.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
Yeah, it was like the coolest thing back then, and
the nineties was like, nah, that's not cool.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
Actually, I'm old enough to at least remember when the
Chili's had a smoking section and a non smoking section.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
That went away pretty quickly.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
But they're really you could be you could be the
worst person at your job, and you wouldn't be as
bad as if you smoked. Like they basically made smokers
second class citizens.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
And I get it. It's bad.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
It's bad for you. It's not a cool thing to
do to your body. But you go back and watch
James dan in some of those movies, it looks pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
I don't know, I can't. I can't ignore that.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
It was the motorcycle too. Yeah, the motorcycle, yeh. The sweater,
the hair, the vibe, I get it, I get it.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
I understand.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
I think that the testosterone I think is interesting, and
I you know, I think about that. I don't think.
I'm not gonna blame my mom, but well, I definitely
grew up eating soy and it shows.
Speaker 10 (31:15):
Oh no, Well, you guys want to know what he
looks like, go to KTLA.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Yeah, just look for the Rachel Maddow, but the gray hair,
gray hair version. All right, that's enough self hate for
at least the eight o'clock hour. Coming up, We've got
another hour full of your favorite stories of the week
in Southern California on this Friday, including I hope if
he's not too busy, they may be sending him up
(31:43):
to Malibu and we might not be able to talk
to him. But John Finolio was supposed to call in
at nine to fifteen KTLA reporter and give us an
update on what's happening in the ten o'clock news at KTLA,
And also I want to ask him just about how
he's doing, because he's a cool guy and he's got
a great jaw line. I'm going to figure out what's
going on with his skincare regimen as well.
