Speaker 1 (00:22):
It's Friday Night Care.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
If I am six forty, mister mo Kelly, We're live
everywhere the iHeartRadio app. I don't know about you, but
when I woke up this morning and realized it was Friday,
it was off for me because we had New Year's
Eve New Year's Day, and it's felt like yesterday was
the Monday of the week. It was my first day
back to work after the holiday. It felt like it
(00:44):
was Monday. This feels like it's Tuesday. But oh wait,
it's actually Friday. We're getting ready to go back into
the weekend. Well what does that mean for you? It
means another round of Name that movie called Classic. Yes,
we are going to be playing for prizes. We have
some more later with bo Kelly key chains. Evidently Twala
had been socking some away. Everything was supposed to go
(01:07):
prior prior to the Christmas holiday, but somehow, someway we
found some gifts to give away. So we will be
playing name that movie called Classic tonight. No particular theme.
Some movies will be rather simple, some movies will be
rather difficult, and some will be somewhere in between. But
(01:28):
we're gonna have some fun tonight. We're gonna have all
sorts of foolishness. Tonight, we have some Metro news for you.
We'll tell you about how Metro was stepping up at
least it's security regarding bus operators. We told you how
they were getting their ass kicked and stabbed and shot
just about every week of twenty twenty four, and so
(01:49):
now Metro is stepping up to protect at least some
of their employees.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Will tell you about that next segment.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
And we have to revisit our ongoing way more conversation.
When I do martial arts hop Keto at my studio
songs hob Kto, which is four three five four suppervid
of Boulevard in Culver City. The reason I tell you
that is because Weimos are everywhere in Culver City. Whenever
I drive through Culver City, I see multiple weymos.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
They are getting to be a part of everyday life. No,
I have not.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Decided to ride in one as of yet. I have
not crossed that bridge.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I have not.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
But when we talk about it tonight, we have to
talk about these other issues which are not I'm not
going to blame on Weimo, but they are related to
the Weimo phenomenon. We've had our first attempted hijacking of
a waimo. I don't know how that's going to work
or if it works, but we'll tell you how. At
least Weimo tries to approach would be hijackers.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
And remember yesterday.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I know Mark remembers, and I'm pretty sure Stephan good
Evening remembers, and Toyla you probably remember yesterday and I said, hey,
you know, we always get conflicting information about alcohol.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
One day they tell us this, and next day they
tell us that. Well, it happened again.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yesterday on the show, we said there was a new
study out which said moderate consumption of alcohol may have
health benefits.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
That was yesterday.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Well today the Surgeon General now says that alcohol should
come with a cancer warning label.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Can't win, damn can't win.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Not that we didn't know that, but it's just that
you have these widely and wildly competing ideas of where
alcohol should fit within our day to day lives. I mean,
we knew that. I mean I knew that. That's why
I don't drink as much as I used to. But
you know, we went from moderate drinking okay, to alcohol
is going to give you cancer tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
It's just today, less than twenty four hours it was,
and I saw the story.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
I said, look, I felt like I was lying to
my audience because I was giving them the latest information.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
But then the latest latest information came out and said.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
No, no, no, no, we should put warning labels because
it's it's the number one carcinogen even after or at
least after smoking.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
But we'll talk about that.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Nautico de la Cruz is back Friday nights with Na
because she'll be joining us in studio, and we.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Have the Runner Report with the Mark Ronner. What are
you runnering about tonight? But you don't need to use
my name? Is well, you gave someone to runner. We've
already used you as a Now what about ronner Lee
as an adverb?
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Let's just move forward, please, I think we're going to
catch up with no Spatu tonight. We never got a
chance because it came out right at Christmas and you
were off doing some Christmas thing while while I was
here working like a good solid believer in American values
or something like them.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
So you saw a Nascra rachu.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I actually heard a lot of good things for it,
and I hope what I'm hearing is going to align
with what.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
You're going to tell us tonight, we'll see. Yeah, I'm
not going to keep you in suspense. I liked it,
but i'll tell you why and why you should go
see it. Some people in the auditorium with me walked out,
which made me like it even more.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
But I'll tell you about it later. Oh cannot wait.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
And a national theater chain is running a five dollars
bring your own popcorn bucket deal. Look, if I have
to bring my own, it's not a deal because are
they gonna give us free popcorn if I bring my
own cup? We'll find out for the show is over.
And of course name that movie cult classic? But what
I want to start with tonight. And just in case
(05:30):
you plan to go to the beach, I'm not. I
have some friends who are surfer. So I saw Matt
money Smith as he was leaving the studio. He'll probably
do some surfing this weekend. This may apply to him.
Joe Kwan may do some surfing. This may apply to her.
She's always listening to Later with Mo Kelly, supporter of
the show. Well, you know what we say about La Beaches?
(05:53):
I say, stay your ass out of the water for
any number of reasons, but particularly this weekend. Multiple La
County beaches are under advisory again to high bacteria levels.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Now what does that mean.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
What does it mean when we say high bacteria levels.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
This is what it means raw sewage. It's in the water.
That's what it means.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
And I hate to break it to you in such
a very disgusting and explicit way, but that's what it means.
They want to use the euphemism of bacteria.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Why can't we go into water, daddy.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Well, it's high bacteria. No, no, it's not high bacteria.
It's yeah, it's that and and at that and and.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
That was a wet one. Oooh, that was a dropping.
But that's why they don't want you to go in
the water.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
All right, let me give you some more facts, because
it's all about the facts. Here Zooma Creek at Zooma
Beach between Zomatow one and two, one hundred yards up
and down the coast from the creek. Stay out of
the water because you might, I don't know, be swimming
in something like fly in your mouth or float in
(07:12):
your mouth, I should say, like that Strand Street extension
at Santa Monica Beach, one hundred yards up and down
the coast from lifeguard Lifeguard tower number twenty four, not
twenty three, not twenty five, but Lifeguard Tower number twenty four.
And there's the Pico Kiner storm drain at Santa Monica
(07:32):
Beach near south Tower, twenty one hundred yards up and
down the coast from the storm drain. I don't know
where that is. I just assume that there's an old
saying that ish rolls downhill. Yeah, well, there should be
a new saying that says ish floats all across the
(07:53):
water or upstream.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
I think you're being too subtle.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
It's my responsibility to make sure the public is informed
of danger.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Excuse me. And if you should go into water, you
are risking your life. Okay. Some people like to swim
with their mouth open. I don't. I don't. I don't
go in the ocean much anymore. I barely even go
in pools. Definitely don't go in public pools.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
I was a lifeguard for a couple of years, a
couple of summers in college, and I'll just say, you've
made the right choice.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
No, no, no, no public pool I know, I know.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
And that's not like some old wives tale or some
you know, some legend.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
That's the truth. Yes, people will be doing stuff in
those public pools. Think of the ocean as a big
public pool. But worse, the amount of that appears in
public pools. It is uncanny. Like last summer, I think
there was like some a sixty five increase in fecal
(08:58):
matter in the public pools in Los Angeles County. Just
imagine that tripled in your local beaches. Why do I
need to imagine it? Lets let's just say it's bad.
It's all over. Okay, it's just nasty all over. Solstice
Creek at Dan Blocker County Beach, one hundred yards up
and down the coast from the creek. Don't know what
the creek is, but you know, I'm quite sure it's
(09:20):
full of it. Marie Canyon Storm Drain at Puerco Beach,
one hundred yards up and down the coast from the
public access steps. It's amazing to me how specific and
seemingly accurate they want to tell you where the feces
begins and ends.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
How do they know that? Is it like a net
catching it?
Speaker 4 (09:40):
No?
Speaker 5 (09:41):
Actually, and I've looked at this is this is when
the health department is going around taking water samples. They
walk the length of where they fill. The tide is
going and they take water samples along the way. And
what they're basically saying is every five feet or whatever
that they're sampling water, it's full of poop.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
If they say, if they say one hundred yards up
and down, so if I go one hundred and one
yards up or down, I'm good.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
I'm so there's that there's that invisible line.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Past that, so it knows not to go to one
hundred and one yards just one hundred yards, yes, but
if it strays one hundred and one yards, who's to
stop the poop? Who's to Who's to say, hey, poop.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Get back on the other side of the line. The fish.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Castle Rock Storm Drain at Topanga County Beach, Walnut Creek
at Paradise Cove. Uh, those two beaches have been reopened. Okay,
So if you want to go to Castle Rock Storm
Drain Walnut Creek, they have been cleared. They are open
for business. Their poop levels are within safe ranges.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
Excuse me, you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on
Demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
This is not a New Year resolution.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
It was just something that I was ruminating over, something
I was thinking about.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Something.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I said, I think I need to change this in
twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
And I was thinking, and I think, Mark.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
A Grease and I know, stephangrees, I haven't been giving
myself enough credit lately. I think I need to do
a better job of giving myself credit. So in this
new year of twenty twenty five, I'm going to give
myself more credit. And it's going to start right here,
right now. You felt like you were reticent on that
(11:38):
front in the year. I was like short shifting the
amount of credit I was heaping and praise that I deserved.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
And I said, you know what, stop doing that moment.
Life's too short for modesty, is what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Yeah, yeah, look, if you've earned it, give it to yourself.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Well, give it to yourself, then good and hard, all right?
Would that in mind?
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Metro finalize the installation of barriers on its entire bus
fleet that.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Fully enclose drivers for their protection.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Now, ABC seven says it's a move that was prompted
by a rise and assaults against bus operators.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
That's a lie, that's not true.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
This move was prompted by me complaining about the rise
and assaults, because Metro would have been just fine with
doing absolutely nothing. Do you honestly think, and let's have
a real hearttheart conversation here, do you honestly think that
Metro would have implemented all these barriers to protect the
(12:41):
bus drivers if I didn't say a mumbling word. They
should call them mow barriers. They should should. My signature
should be inscribed. It's like I autographed it, you know,
the mo Kelly Barrier edition or something. I should be
publicly thanked. I think they should have some sort of
press conference or some sort of press gaggle, some sort
of statue erected in my honor outside Metro offices, something
(13:05):
which acknowledges my contribution.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
They should have your face on those, just like those
targets in the urinals.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Yeah, something like that.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Yeah, I go for that, as long as I'm immortalized
and memorialized and lionized.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Yes, something like that. A total of twenty one hundred and.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Five buses have received The shatter proof doesn't say bulletproof,
it says shatterproof. Tempered glass barriers constructed of steel and
laminated low reflectivity material. The design and fabrication were completed
in house at Metro Central Maintenance facility in downtown LA. Well,
(13:44):
that's keeping all of it indoors and inside the family.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
I get that.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Hopefully they save some money. Metro used about fifty five
thousand square feet of the material, enough to cover an
entire football field. But here's a serious question I have.
What does the expectation going forward for bus drivers in
the event that something should be happening on the bus.
(14:09):
Let's say, like you on a plane, all right, and
unfortunately there's a hijacker, and the hijacker is threatening the
passengers and daring the pilot, Hey, open up the cockpit
or I'm going to harm or worse one of the passengers. Now,
the pilots are instructed, we know they are not to
(14:30):
open that cockpit door under any circumstances. Using that same
analogy here for buses, what are bus drivers.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Expected to do?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Are they supposed to seal themselves off no matter what
happens to the passengers, or are they expected to somehow
intervene beyond obviously radioing for help, seal the bus.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
And fill it with knockout gas immediately. Well, that would
be cool. Can they do that? Probably not legally, but
it'll be cool, okay, But.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
There has to be a question. I just wonder. I
just wonder what is it they expect them to do?
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Are they expected to get involved or not get involved
going forward? If they have an unruly passenger, someone who
refuses to pay. What is the bus driver supposed to
do or not to do? Or is it left up to.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
His or her discretion as far as how involved or
uninvolved he or she wants to be.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Because we know, just because they may be protected behind
this polycarbonate material, whatever it's made of, and they may
be physically protected, it doesn't mean that there's a less
likelihood of an incident on the bus.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
We've had a number of bus shootings.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
We've had people come on the bus, refuse to pay,
attack other bus riders. What is it that the bus
driver is supposed to do? Because I know from the
bus driver, I mean the real bus drivers that I've
spoken with, they say that these attacks and incidents happen
every single day every I'm not talking about oh, every twice,
(16:04):
so two thursdays of a month, No, no, every single day.
There is some level of conflict. Some I wouldn't say
all of them are assaults. I mean, well, I guess
you could say someone trying to spit on you is
an assault. But there's always some incident every single day
(16:24):
involving some bus driver within the metro system. My question is,
what is the bus driver supposed to do or not
do now if something's happening on the bus or are
they just supposed to pull over and radio for help
and wait until help arrives if it arrives at all.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
And I don't know, I don't know. Next time something happens,
like maybe.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Tomorrow or Monday, someone might get stabbed, shot or killed. Unfortunately,
we will probably get our answer because going back to
the top of the story, a total of twenty one
hundred and five buses have received what has been described
as shatterproof tempered glass barriers constructed of steel and laminated.
(17:12):
That's a nice touch, laminated low reflectivity material. It almost
sounds like they're trying to sell them, well, you want
to be able to wipe them clean. I just want
to know that they're actually effective. I just want to
know that they do the intended job of protecting the
bus operator and then after that, what happens to the
(17:34):
passengers because there will be something which will be probably
reported in the next few days involving some sort of
incident on a bus, And I don't know if the
bus drivers are supposed to be just remain in that
protected area.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
I mean, when you think about it, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
When I was riding Metro subway, I don't remember whether
the train operator ever came out of that the train
engineer's cat that first car, I don't know. I don't
ever remember seeing him or her come into the actual train.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
They should be welded in there, like the Kamakazis in
World War Two into their cockpits.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Well, I think they are in DC. That's why I
make the distinction. I don't know if it's the same everywhere,
but for some subway lines. If I'm not mistaken, if
I'm wrong, you'll let me know, because you always let
me know when you think I'm wrong, even when I'm
not well.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
I respect you too much to ever try to intentionally
make you look bad. But don't you think that the
response I'm sorry, I couldn't get through the rest of that,
not with those straight face. Now, you think the response
depends on whether the bus driver is a Billy Jack
or something lesser than that.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Maybe maybe I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
I look all at all of this right now is
more of a press release from Metro, not a true
assessment of what is going on, what triggered it, no
pun intend like For example, back in April, Metro's Board
of Directors approved an emergency procurement motion to accelerate the installation.
(19:09):
Nowhere in there have they acknowledged the public pressure. And
I'm being serious now, there was real public pressure, not
only me but inclusive of me, major outlets, public outcry
regarding the lack of safety on buses.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
On trains and also platforms.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
And to say that the emergency procurent motion was what
accelerated the installation, I think that's I wouldn't say it's dishonest,
but it's misleading. It suggests that Metro was more proactive
than reactive, when we all know that they have been
largely reactive throughout this where they wanted to deny that
(19:55):
there was any sort of problem, that they wanted to
downplay the number and sever varity of incidents on trains
and buses and platforms, and then oh, unfortunately, multiple people
were murdered multiple people and then you want to couch
it as well. There was an emergency procurement motion which
accelerated the installation, and that's not really it. There's something
(20:19):
which preceded that motion. There was something that spurred on
that motion that encouraged it, and it was public outcry.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
It was people like me.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Maybe it was only me, the guy that should get
all the credit, me who encouraged you, inspired, you implored,
you berated, you criticize, you shamed them. Can't shame the
shameless got to have You got to have some shame
to be shamed, and I don't think Metro has any shame,
(20:49):
which was part of the reason why it took so
long to get to this point, because you wanted to
play like we weren't seeing what we were seeing. Oh no, no, no,
Metro's not all that dangerous, Oh no, no, no. Ridership
is up. How many stories have you talked about Mark
Ronner which is coming from CNS, you know, City News Service.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Somehow ridership is up on.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Metro as if that is an indicator of how people
feel about writing Metro.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
This will shock you, but I found as a reporter
that institutions tend to want to portray themselves in the
best possible light.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Oo.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
No, I know it's mind blowing, isn't it. All I
need to know is Metro. When am I going to
get like a key to the city, mayor bas you
know how to find me? Can I get some sort
of resolution? You know, some sort of I don't know,
just like a proclamation, Oh I see Amo Kelly day
in your future. You know what, wouldn't that be nice?
(21:45):
Not only would it be nice, it would be appropriate,
It would be well deserved, it would have been earned.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Five.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
I'm going to be giving myself a lot more credit.
I may pull a muscle patting myself on the back,
but you know what it'll be, It'll be worth it.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
It's Later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Let's talk Weimo when we come back and the paid
provocateur Ta Walla Sharp, who's on the payroll of Weimo,
will join us. Was his thoughts about how Weimo was
so great despite the fact of all the carnage and
the chaos that Weimo is creating right here in southern California.
Speaker 6 (22:20):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on Demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
And as I was saying earlier.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Just in case you don't know, I always teach Saturdays
at my dojong, which is Korean for a studio songs
hop Keto four three five four Supovida Boulevard in Culver
City nine zero two three zero. Teach the Saturday classes
from nine am to noon, and then tomorrow I'll actually
be going on and doing some basketball officiating in Carson,
But that's a separate story. The reason I mentioned Culver City,
(22:49):
I'm there every Saturday. If you just want to see
me doing hop keto or teaching hop keto learning about
hop keto, you can find me there. But I mentioned
it because I'm always in Culver City, and when I'm
all in Culver City, it seems a high traffic area
for Weimo autonomous taxis. I see them every time I'm
(23:10):
in the city, usually driving up and down Supulvia to Boulevard.
Maybe they're going to the Westfield Town Center or there's
going some of the high traffic areas in Culver City.
But I always see them, and I bring that up
because I think about how they're maneuvering different obstacles traffic conditions.
It's not far where my Hopkito studio is it's not
(23:33):
far from the Culver City City Hall and the police department,
so you will see a lot of activity which could,
in my mind, be an obstacle for an autonomous vehicle.
Then I read this story and I'm not going to
blame this on WEIMO. It is something that we did discuss.
We figured that these cars would be vandalized, some would
(23:53):
try to carjack them. In sure enough, a man was
arrested early yesterday morning after allegedly trying to hijack one
of these self driving taxis in downtown LA. The attempt
at theft occurred around one am yesterday morning near the
intersection of South Hill Street and Fifth Street. Police approached
(24:13):
the man behind a riot shield and from what I
also read, he seemed to be under the influence. No,
couldn't have been, He had to have been sober. The
semi inebriated person refused to get out of the WEIMO
and then an officer opened the door and pulled the
man out. He was arrested shortly afterward, and it got
(24:35):
us thinking like, well, what are the precautionary measures, what
are the things which would prevent someone actually getting in
the driver's seat and stealing the car?
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Or wrecking the car.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
According to WEIMO quote WEIMO vehicles are designed so that
unauthorized individuals cannot disengage the automated driving system and manually
operate the vehicles. When any unauthorized individual sits in a
driver's seat way, most writer support team can ask them
to leave the vehicle and end the ride. Excuse me, sir,
(25:10):
You're not supposed to be in the seat. Could you
please leave the vehicle? Please, thank you very much. If
they don't comply with commands to leave the vehicle, rider
support coordinates with our Emergency Response team, which works with
law enforcement to respond.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
I don't know about you.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
I don't know if that's a thorough enough explanation of
what it will do to prevent someone from commandeering the car.
Someone coming over the speaker and saying please get out
of the driver's seat is not quite enough for me.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Yeah, it's probably like on.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Star, they'll call the police and disable the vehicle. But
I need a little bit more. I need to like
like something like James Bond, like a gas canister electoral, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Something like that.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
So you want like some type of strap to go
around the perpetrator and electrocute them in the scene.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Oh, I need some sort of deterrent Spike's coming out
of the back of the seat or something like that.
Why do you need that because they'll tell about the
father not to do it.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
I can't see Tuala from where I'm sitting. Is he
actually wearing Waimo branded clothing?
Speaker 3 (26:10):
You?
Speaker 1 (26:11):
I think?
Speaker 3 (26:11):
So?
Speaker 1 (26:12):
What's w son of? Look it's the what is a whall? Look?
Speaker 5 (26:17):
Look, let's not worry about what I'm wearing, okay, or
what is it in my pocket? I am a a
vested interest in seeing the furthering of technology. And I'm
glad they caught this sob and righteously so. And I
think that Waymo's response of giving this into because this
individual was obviously drunk and they said, hey, hey, hey sir,
(26:39):
you need to exit this vehicle now. When this individual
didnerally say okay, you know what we're I'm missing around,
they did what you're supposed to do. They called the police,
and the police came and got them, and it comes
to an end.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
This is a bravo for Wayne. I said, I was
not blaming Waimo, I know.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
But you say, but you want there to be some
level of gassing, yes, or electric shit. Yes, I don't
know if they neither, because wamo's also a car for
the people. They don't want people to be afraid. Yeah,
don't rule out impalement, impaalment. WAMO doesn't need that. WAMO
doesn't need to be killing would be thieves. Why not
(27:17):
that that's a runner thing? Isn't that like cat?
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Wait?
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Mark, I know you're not a lawyer, but you worked
a crime beat.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Is that like castle? Doctor? Doesn't that apply to your
car as well? If I'm not mistaken?
Speaker 4 (27:27):
Oh yeah, they should be able to set the person
on fire in the car.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Do it just once, it will stop one good time,
one good time. The next fool who tries to commandeer
a waymo and let's say a bullet shoots out of
the middle of the steering wheel. I don't want the
end of it done. Oh remember which movie was at Mark?
(27:52):
And I know you know which had the ejector seat,
Roger Moore, Well, the ejector seat started in Goldfinger.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Goldfinger, that's right.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
So we just want to start launching people out of
waims into the air.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
You damn skipping? That would be brilliant, It was great. Yeah,
what case would they have it's proportional. It's like, look,
try to steal the WEAIMO. You can verbally, you can
get one verbal warning. I'm okay with that. I'm not
against that in your studio now and teaching. Okay, we
are now going to And then you just see someone
flying into the air right outside.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
Yeah, and with the cameras you could capture the look
on their face when they're on the way up.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
You can have a warning, just like in squid game.
And then oh, after the second warning, let it rip. Yep,
it's fair, it's fir.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
I don't have look again, I am not blaming WEIMO
for the criminality of humans. There is a question of,
since there is not a driver, whether it is more
of a target, or seemingly more of a target than
a traditional car with a human in it. In other words,
(28:58):
it's maybe more likely to be jacked. I think that
as the rollout continues. And now I was listening to
a report actually on my way in where they're talking
about how WAYMO has been so successful in La San
Francisco and other areas where now this program is likely
to roll out statewide or a nationwide within the coming months.
(29:24):
There has to be some provision within WAYMO where they
are actually looking at a serious deterren I don't know
if it's a bullet shooting out of the steering wheel
or ejector seats, or electrocution, Maybe a laser that goes to.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Any of them.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
I'm just you know, I'm just spitballing here. Maybe a
guillotine that goes in the head, wrist. I don't know
now you're talking, but something will be done. WAYMO will
not stand for this.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
I also question whether this individual is not clear in
the story. Did he break the driver's side window and
crawl in or did he just open up the door
because it was unlocked.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
That's something and I would want to know. Now here's
what I do know.
Speaker 5 (30:02):
If there is a ride happening where there is a
passenger who is like who has already engaged in the ride,
you cannot open the door from them from the outside.
You will not be able to do that. And that's
to protect the passengers in the car. So you cannot
just walk up to a way MOW while someone's in
there and open up the door on them.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Okay, And I still want to see how he attempted
to hijack the car.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
He got into the car, he got into the seat.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
It doesn't say that he was a passenger and then
tried to climb into the driver's seat. But I mean, look,
not that I'm trying to make sense out of the
criminal nonsense out there, but you got to know in
a driver list taxi, there are cameras all through the thing.
There's all sorts of electronic information data which is being
(30:51):
sent as far as where the car is, what's happening
with it? You know, how did you think you're going
to steal it and nobody know and take it so
somewhere where nobody would find out. And what we're gonna
do with You're gonna strip it, you're gonna sell it
for parts? How does that actually work? What was the
criminal upside to it? That's the point.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
Yeah, you're gonna find this hard to swallow. But they
don't always think things through really well before they do
this stuff. I know.
Speaker 5 (31:16):
And these cars are obvious, man, but they're not white Nissans.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Yeah they're white. They have these spinning cameras around them.
You cannot miss them. You cannot.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
You got to get you in one mode just to
look take you from you can house to the studio.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
You cannot. Why not.
Speaker 5 (31:35):
Look after a day of teaching, don't you just want
to get in a ride and just be able to
snack on your way home?
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Yeah? But what am I gonna do with my car
that I drove there with?
Speaker 3 (31:43):
No?
Speaker 5 (31:43):
No, that's in same back and forth. It gets you
from the house to the studio, from the studio back home.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Okay, well you have to sell it up with way Moo.
Speaker 5 (31:52):
I will reach out to Wayne Moo absolutely, because now
I see you're warming up to the idea that you're
becoming I want the news getting a way more crash. No,
you're becoming more familiar. You're seeing them more and more
as you're teaching, and that alone should open you up
to the possibilities.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
You are a teacher.
Speaker 5 (32:11):
You are imparting wisdom and knowledge upon the next generation
of hopketo masters, and this.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Has something for you to take gether No, no, no, yeah,
hopketo has nothing to do with weymo. It's getting kind
of thick in here, isn't it. Yes, it is. Yeah,
he's really laying it on thick. It's almost like someone
paid him to say that. I don't know who. When
we come back, I have my suspicions stuff. Remember how
yesterday I told you how moderate consumption of alcohol had
health benefits.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Just act like that never happened.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Okay, that new study, it's been overruled by the search
in general, and the search in general says no, that's
not true and alcohol should have cancer warning labels. So
if you're drinking right now, as a lot of people
do while listening Later with mo Kelly, I don't mean
to ruin your buzz or the game later on, name
that movie called classic.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
I'm just giving you the news. Well what I think
about the news.
Speaker 6 (33:02):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Yeah, so the surge in general is definitely gonna blame
it on the.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Alcohol.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
Sorry to ruin your buzz, because I know a lot
of you listening right now have already started with your
wine or your whiskey or your wine whiskey and some weed.
No judgment, but I just have to give you this
information because it comes on the tail of what we've
discussed last night, where according to a new study, modern
(33:39):
consumption of alcohol has some health benefits. The surge in general,
Vivic Murphy said, alcohol consumption increases the risk of at
least seven types of cancer, including breast, colon, liver, but
most US consumers remain unaware of this. This is according
(33:59):
to the Search in General, and to that in the
Search in General recommends that alcoholic drinks should carry a
warning about cancer risks on their label, not unlike what
we've seen with a tobacco style regulation of years past.
Murphy also called for the guidelines on alcohol consumption limits
(34:21):
to be reassessed so that people can weigh the cancer
risk when deciding whether or how much to drink. US
dietary guidelines currently recommend two or fewer drinks per day
for men, and one drink or less per day for women.
Two per day for men or one or less for women.
(34:44):
I don't know, and I know you know. If you
want to get into the two unit measurements, we can
go in the weeds and know that. But look, when
you say two drinks to me, I'm thinking alcohol as
in liquor, like two jacks, because two beers is not
the same as two jacks. But if they mean two
(35:06):
beers as in two drinks, well then my two jacks
were like six, and I just had six on New
Year's ease, that must have like twenty units of alcohol.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
I don't know what I'm gonna do about this.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
Mark Seriously, Yesterday I told you I was gonna live forever.
Now I think I should be putting my house in order.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
I'm right, It's like, well, I'm pretty sure the damage
is already done when it comes to me.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
I only I stopped myself at two drinks tonight, But
they're pretty stiff to drinks. Yes, I mean, if it's
in a big gulp, it still counts as one.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Here, you're right, if that's one drink, I mean it's
the same cup.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
It's one drink.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
But to be absolutely serious, I do not drink half
as much as I did, let's say, ten years ago.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Well you can't.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
My body won't allow me, and I don't have the
desire to. My sleep is far more important. My overall
health is far more important. But actually, to be absolutely serious,
I thought we would have been at this point in
a regulation since fifteen twenty years ago, like we were
(36:18):
with cigarettes and vaping and what have you. I'm actually
surprised because I thought the tobacco tobacco lobby was stronger
than the liquor lobby.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
Yeah, the liquor lobby was never on my radar because
I thought everybody pretty much knew drinking isn't exactly a
healthy thing to do. But you know, you're an adult,
whereas cigarettes, you're just that's a mouthful of death every time.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
But remember cigarettes, I don't think they could.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
No, you can't even show televised ads for cigarettes anymore.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
No more Marlborough man, he's been retired.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
But we you know, for beer and wine and liquor,
those ads are ubiquitous. It's like sending synonymous with the
Super Bowl, our socialization, what we consider having a festive time, hell, eggnog.
Just it's it's actually interwoven in just about every facet
of life.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
And uh, maybe that's part of it.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
But he never saw the same type of pushback for
alcohol that you did with cigarettes and tobacco.
Speaker 4 (37:22):
I think that's probably from a sociological standpoint, because alcohol,
altering your consciousness with alcohol has been a part of
humanity since we've been on two feet.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
Wow, that's pretty profound.
Speaker 4 (37:35):
From the old days of the women chewing up the
stuff and spitting it into the cup for it to
for men.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
I never really thought about it that way.
Speaker 4 (37:43):
It's I mean, it's a ritual, it's a it's a
socialization thing. We've we've just always done it. Smoking probably
as well. But I should point out I don't know
if you know this, but drinking is fun and it
makes you feel good.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
Did you know that?
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Yeah, I'm gonna rain on your parade and more. Oh,
this is the Surgeon General. Look, I gotta do it.
He had more to say. Quote, alcohol consumption is the
third leading preventable cause of cancer in the US, after
tobacco and obesity.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Would you like me to leave you any of my
books or anything. No, I may not outlive you.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
Yeah, Murphy's office said in a statement of company the
new report, adding the type of alcohol consumed does not matter.
So it does not matter according to the Surgeon General.
It doesn't matter if it's beer, it doesn't matter if
it's wine. It doesn't matter if it's jack whiskey. So
having said that, I might as well just keep on
drinking jack because I don't drink beer.
Speaker 4 (38:37):
Well, directly related to this, have you noticed a proliferation
of liver supplements lately commercials on TV that we never
ever had before?
Speaker 1 (38:46):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (38:46):
No, no, no, I'm quite sure they're putting one in
one together. Yeah, And it's almost like the ashtray community say, hey,
you know what, there are a lot of smokers out there,
let's start making ashtrays.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
There are a lot of drinkers out there.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Let's start making liver pills or you know, liver gum.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
No, no, no, it all works together.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
It says, it's unclear whether or if the Surgeon general
suggestions will be adopted. President Biden's administration is ending, so
Murphy's going to be probably out of a job. Anyhow,
there will be a new Surgeon General, less likely that
such a guidance will be followed up on. So you'll
make your own individual thoughts decisions about whether you will
(39:28):
change your drinking habits relative to that guideline and advisement.
By the way, I probably will have a shot tonight
before I go to sleep.
Speaker 4 (39:38):
I'm going to mix my drink with fruit juice so
that I know it's healthy.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
But philosophically, it's like I can't worry about everything. I
know that something is going to get me eventually. I
know that, and I try to balance out my bad
habits or not so good habits with some good habits.
I exercise every damn day eye stretch. I have a
pretty decent diet that I've been working hard on for
(40:05):
at least two three years. I lost a good thirty
five pounds during the pandemic, no exaggeration, damn it. I'm
gonna have a drink every now and then. And I
know why. Like I used to think about older people,
like why they were so obstinate, and they wouldn't give up
this so they wouldn't give up that. I'm now that person.
I understand it. I get it. I can have the
perfect diet, I could have the perfect exercise regimen, and
(40:28):
I could still drop dead, like Jim Fix, who did
the book of running a hard day right while running.
Speaker 4 (40:33):
It is your god given right to enjoy a drink
at the end of the day. You're not gonna let
some surgeon general rob you of that. What do they
know anyhow? What do they know about medicine? They call
it medical practice for a reason. They're practicing fake news.
It's all fake news, fake liver news. Friday Nights with
not a CoA Dela cruise when we come back. If
I am six forty, life everywhere, I heartradio app cheers.
Speaker 1 (40:55):
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't let KMI fill
you in once in a while. You could miss it.
K f I N K O
Speaker 4 (41:04):
S T h D two Los Angeles, Orange County, live
everywhere on the radio,
It's Friday Night Care.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
If I am six forty, mister mo Kelly, We're live
everywhere the iHeartRadio app. I don't know about you, but
when I woke up this morning and realized it was Friday,
it was off for me because we had New Year's
Eve New Year's Day, and it's felt like yesterday was
the Monday of the week. It was my first day
back to work after the holiday. It felt like it
(00:44):
was Monday. This feels like it's Tuesday. But oh wait,
it's actually Friday. We're getting ready to go back into
the weekend. Well what does that mean for you? It
means another round of Name that movie called Classic. Yes,
we are going to be playing for prizes. We have
some more later with bo Kelly key chains. Evidently Twala
had been socking some away. Everything was supposed to go
(01:07):
prior prior to the Christmas holiday, but somehow, someway we
found some gifts to give away. So we will be
playing name that movie called Classic tonight. No particular theme.
Some movies will be rather simple, some movies will be
rather difficult, and some will be somewhere in between. But
(01:28):
we're gonna have some fun tonight. We're gonna have all
sorts of foolishness. Tonight, we have some Metro news for you.
We'll tell you about how Metro was stepping up at
least it's security regarding bus operators. We told you how
they were getting their ass kicked and stabbed and shot
just about every week of twenty twenty four, and so
(01:49):
now Metro is stepping up to protect at least some
of their employees.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Will tell you about that next segment.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
And we have to revisit our ongoing way more conversation.
When I do martial arts hop Keto at my studio
songs hob Kto, which is four three five four suppervid
of Boulevard in Culver City. The reason I tell you
that is because Weimos are everywhere in Culver City. Whenever
I drive through Culver City, I see multiple weymos.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
They are getting to be a part of everyday life. No,
I have not.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Decided to ride in one as of yet. I have
not crossed that bridge.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I have not.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
But when we talk about it tonight, we have to
talk about these other issues which are not I'm not
going to blame on Weimo, but they are related to
the Weimo phenomenon. We've had our first attempted hijacking of
a waimo. I don't know how that's going to work
or if it works, but we'll tell you how. At
least Weimo tries to approach would be hijackers.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
And remember yesterday.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I know Mark remembers, and I'm pretty sure Stephan good
Evening remembers, and Toyla you probably remember yesterday and I said, hey,
you know, we always get conflicting information about alcohol.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
One day they tell us this, and next day they
tell us that. Well, it happened again.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yesterday on the show, we said there was a new
study out which said moderate consumption of alcohol may have
health benefits.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
That was yesterday.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Well today the Surgeon General now says that alcohol should
come with a cancer warning label.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Can't win, damn can't win.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Not that we didn't know that, but it's just that
you have these widely and wildly competing ideas of where
alcohol should fit within our day to day lives. I mean,
we knew that. I mean I knew that. That's why
I don't drink as much as I used to. But
you know, we went from moderate drinking okay, to alcohol
is going to give you cancer tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
It's just today, less than twenty four hours it was,
and I saw the story.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
I said, look, I felt like I was lying to
my audience because I was giving them the latest information.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
But then the latest latest information came out and said.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
No, no, no, no, we should put warning labels because
it's it's the number one carcinogen even after or at
least after smoking.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
But we'll talk about that.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Nautico de la Cruz is back Friday nights with Na
because she'll be joining us in studio, and we.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Have the Runner Report with the Mark Ronner. What are
you runnering about tonight? But you don't need to use
my name? Is well, you gave someone to runner. We've
already used you as a Now what about ronner Lee
as an adverb?
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Let's just move forward, please, I think we're going to
catch up with no Spatu tonight. We never got a
chance because it came out right at Christmas and you
were off doing some Christmas thing while while I was
here working like a good solid believer in American values
or something like them.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
So you saw a Nascra rachu.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I actually heard a lot of good things for it,
and I hope what I'm hearing is going to align
with what.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
You're going to tell us tonight, we'll see. Yeah, I'm
not going to keep you in suspense. I liked it,
but i'll tell you why and why you should go
see it. Some people in the auditorium with me walked out,
which made me like it even more.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
But I'll tell you about it later. Oh cannot wait.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
And a national theater chain is running a five dollars
bring your own popcorn bucket deal. Look, if I have
to bring my own, it's not a deal because are
they gonna give us free popcorn if I bring my
own cup? We'll find out for the show is over.
And of course name that movie cult classic? But what
I want to start with tonight. And just in case
(05:30):
you plan to go to the beach, I'm not. I
have some friends who are surfer. So I saw Matt
money Smith as he was leaving the studio. He'll probably
do some surfing this weekend. This may apply to him.
Joe Kwan may do some surfing. This may apply to her.
She's always listening to Later with Mo Kelly, supporter of
the show. Well, you know what we say about La Beaches?
(05:53):
I say, stay your ass out of the water for
any number of reasons, but particularly this weekend. Multiple La
County beaches are under advisory again to high bacteria levels.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Now what does that mean.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
What does it mean when we say high bacteria levels.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
This is what it means raw sewage. It's in the water.
That's what it means.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
And I hate to break it to you in such
a very disgusting and explicit way, but that's what it means.
They want to use the euphemism of bacteria.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Why can't we go into water, daddy.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Well, it's high bacteria. No, no, it's not high bacteria.
It's yeah, it's that and and at that and and.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
That was a wet one. Oooh, that was a dropping.
But that's why they don't want you to go in
the water.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
All right, let me give you some more facts, because
it's all about the facts. Here Zooma Creek at Zooma
Beach between Zomatow one and two, one hundred yards up
and down the coast from the creek. Stay out of
the water because you might, I don't know, be swimming
in something like fly in your mouth or float in
(07:12):
your mouth, I should say, like that Strand Street extension
at Santa Monica Beach, one hundred yards up and down
the coast from lifeguard Lifeguard tower number twenty four, not
twenty three, not twenty five, but Lifeguard Tower number twenty four.
And there's the Pico Kiner storm drain at Santa Monica
(07:32):
Beach near south Tower, twenty one hundred yards up and
down the coast from the storm drain. I don't know
where that is. I just assume that there's an old
saying that ish rolls downhill. Yeah, well, there should be
a new saying that says ish floats all across the
(07:53):
water or upstream.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
I think you're being too subtle.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
It's my responsibility to make sure the public is informed
of danger.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Excuse me. And if you should go into water, you
are risking your life. Okay. Some people like to swim
with their mouth open. I don't. I don't. I don't
go in the ocean much anymore. I barely even go
in pools. Definitely don't go in public pools.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
I was a lifeguard for a couple of years, a
couple of summers in college, and I'll just say, you've
made the right choice.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
No, no, no, no public pool I know, I know.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
And that's not like some old wives tale or some
you know, some legend.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
That's the truth. Yes, people will be doing stuff in
those public pools. Think of the ocean as a big
public pool. But worse, the amount of that appears in
public pools. It is uncanny. Like last summer, I think
there was like some a sixty five increase in fecal
(08:58):
matter in the public pools in Los Angeles County. Just
imagine that tripled in your local beaches. Why do I
need to imagine it? Lets let's just say it's bad.
It's all over. Okay, it's just nasty all over. Solstice
Creek at Dan Blocker County Beach, one hundred yards up
and down the coast from the creek. Don't know what
the creek is, but you know, I'm quite sure it's
(09:20):
full of it. Marie Canyon Storm Drain at Puerco Beach,
one hundred yards up and down the coast from the
public access steps. It's amazing to me how specific and
seemingly accurate they want to tell you where the feces
begins and ends.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
How do they know that? Is it like a net
catching it?
Speaker 4 (09:40):
No?
Speaker 5 (09:41):
Actually, and I've looked at this is this is when
the health department is going around taking water samples. They
walk the length of where they fill. The tide is
going and they take water samples along the way. And
what they're basically saying is every five feet or whatever
that they're sampling water, it's full of poop.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
If they say, if they say one hundred yards up
and down, so if I go one hundred and one
yards up or down, I'm good.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
I'm so there's that there's that invisible line.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Past that, so it knows not to go to one
hundred and one yards just one hundred yards, yes, but
if it strays one hundred and one yards, who's to
stop the poop? Who's to Who's to say, hey, poop.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Get back on the other side of the line. The fish.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Castle Rock Storm Drain at Topanga County Beach, Walnut Creek
at Paradise Cove. Uh, those two beaches have been reopened. Okay,
So if you want to go to Castle Rock Storm
Drain Walnut Creek, they have been cleared. They are open
for business. Their poop levels are within safe ranges.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
Excuse me, you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on
Demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
This is not a New Year resolution.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
It was just something that I was ruminating over, something
I was thinking about.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Something.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I said, I think I need to change this in
twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
And I was thinking, and I think, Mark.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
A Grease and I know, stephangrees, I haven't been giving
myself enough credit lately. I think I need to do
a better job of giving myself credit. So in this
new year of twenty twenty five, I'm going to give
myself more credit. And it's going to start right here,
right now. You felt like you were reticent on that
(11:38):
front in the year. I was like short shifting the
amount of credit I was heaping and praise that I deserved.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
And I said, you know what, stop doing that moment.
Life's too short for modesty, is what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Yeah, yeah, look, if you've earned it, give it to yourself.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Well, give it to yourself, then good and hard, all right?
Would that in mind?
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Metro finalize the installation of barriers on its entire bus
fleet that.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Fully enclose drivers for their protection.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Now, ABC seven says it's a move that was prompted
by a rise and assaults against bus operators.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
That's a lie, that's not true.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
This move was prompted by me complaining about the rise
and assaults, because Metro would have been just fine with
doing absolutely nothing. Do you honestly think, and let's have
a real hearttheart conversation here, do you honestly think that
Metro would have implemented all these barriers to protect the
(12:41):
bus drivers if I didn't say a mumbling word. They
should call them mow barriers. They should should. My signature
should be inscribed. It's like I autographed it, you know,
the mo Kelly Barrier edition or something. I should be
publicly thanked. I think they should have some sort of
press conference or some sort of press gaggle, some sort
of statue erected in my honor outside Metro offices, something
(13:05):
which acknowledges my contribution.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
They should have your face on those, just like those
targets in the urinals.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Yeah, something like that.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Yeah, I go for that, as long as I'm immortalized
and memorialized and lionized.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Yes, something like that. A total of twenty one hundred and.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Five buses have received The shatter proof doesn't say bulletproof,
it says shatterproof. Tempered glass barriers constructed of steel and
laminated low reflectivity material. The design and fabrication were completed
in house at Metro Central Maintenance facility in downtown LA. Well,
(13:44):
that's keeping all of it indoors and inside the family.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
I get that.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Hopefully they save some money. Metro used about fifty five
thousand square feet of the material, enough to cover an
entire football field. But here's a serious question I have.
What does the expectation going forward for bus drivers in
the event that something should be happening on the bus.
(14:09):
Let's say, like you on a plane, all right, and
unfortunately there's a hijacker, and the hijacker is threatening the
passengers and daring the pilot, Hey, open up the cockpit
or I'm going to harm or worse one of the passengers. Now,
the pilots are instructed, we know they are not to
(14:30):
open that cockpit door under any circumstances. Using that same
analogy here for buses, what are bus drivers.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Expected to do?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Are they supposed to seal themselves off no matter what
happens to the passengers, or are they expected to somehow
intervene beyond obviously radioing for help, seal the bus.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
And fill it with knockout gas immediately. Well, that would
be cool. Can they do that? Probably not legally, but
it'll be cool, okay, But.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
There has to be a question. I just wonder. I
just wonder what is it they expect them to do?
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Are they expected to get involved or not get involved
going forward? If they have an unruly passenger, someone who
refuses to pay. What is the bus driver supposed to
do or not to do? Or is it left up to.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
His or her discretion as far as how involved or
uninvolved he or she wants to be.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Because we know, just because they may be protected behind
this polycarbonate material, whatever it's made of, and they may
be physically protected, it doesn't mean that there's a less
likelihood of an incident on the bus.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
We've had a number of bus shootings.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
We've had people come on the bus, refuse to pay,
attack other bus riders. What is it that the bus
driver is supposed to do? Because I know from the
bus driver, I mean the real bus drivers that I've
spoken with, they say that these attacks and incidents happen
every single day every I'm not talking about oh, every twice,
(16:04):
so two thursdays of a month, No, no, every single day.
There is some level of conflict. Some I wouldn't say
all of them are assaults. I mean, well, I guess
you could say someone trying to spit on you is
an assault. But there's always some incident every single day
(16:24):
involving some bus driver within the metro system. My question is,
what is the bus driver supposed to do or not
do now if something's happening on the bus or are
they just supposed to pull over and radio for help
and wait until help arrives if it arrives at all.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
And I don't know, I don't know. Next time something happens,
like maybe.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Tomorrow or Monday, someone might get stabbed, shot or killed. Unfortunately,
we will probably get our answer because going back to
the top of the story, a total of twenty one
hundred and five buses have received what has been described
as shatterproof tempered glass barriers constructed of steel and laminated.
(17:12):
That's a nice touch, laminated low reflectivity material. It almost
sounds like they're trying to sell them, well, you want
to be able to wipe them clean. I just want
to know that they're actually effective. I just want to
know that they do the intended job of protecting the
bus operator and then after that, what happens to the
(17:34):
passengers because there will be something which will be probably
reported in the next few days involving some sort of
incident on a bus, And I don't know if the
bus drivers are supposed to be just remain in that
protected area.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
I mean, when you think about it, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
When I was riding Metro subway, I don't remember whether
the train operator ever came out of that the train
engineer's cat that first car, I don't know. I don't
ever remember seeing him or her come into the actual train.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
They should be welded in there, like the Kamakazis in
World War Two into their cockpits.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Well, I think they are in DC. That's why I
make the distinction. I don't know if it's the same everywhere,
but for some subway lines. If I'm not mistaken, if
I'm wrong, you'll let me know, because you always let
me know when you think I'm wrong, even when I'm
not well.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
I respect you too much to ever try to intentionally
make you look bad. But don't you think that the
response I'm sorry, I couldn't get through the rest of that,
not with those straight face. Now, you think the response
depends on whether the bus driver is a Billy Jack
or something lesser than that.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Maybe maybe I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
I look all at all of this right now is
more of a press release from Metro, not a true
assessment of what is going on, what triggered it, no
pun intend like For example, back in April, Metro's Board
of Directors approved an emergency procurement motion to accelerate the installation.
(19:09):
Nowhere in there have they acknowledged the public pressure. And
I'm being serious now, there was real public pressure, not
only me but inclusive of me, major outlets, public outcry
regarding the lack of safety on buses.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
On trains and also platforms.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
And to say that the emergency procurent motion was what
accelerated the installation, I think that's I wouldn't say it's dishonest,
but it's misleading. It suggests that Metro was more proactive
than reactive, when we all know that they have been
largely reactive throughout this where they wanted to deny that
(19:55):
there was any sort of problem, that they wanted to
downplay the number and sever varity of incidents on trains
and buses and platforms, and then oh, unfortunately, multiple people
were murdered multiple people and then you want to couch
it as well. There was an emergency procurement motion which
accelerated the installation, and that's not really it. There's something
(20:19):
which preceded that motion. There was something that spurred on
that motion that encouraged it, and it was public outcry.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
It was people like me.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Maybe it was only me, the guy that should get
all the credit, me who encouraged you, inspired, you implored,
you berated, you criticize, you shamed them. Can't shame the
shameless got to have You got to have some shame
to be shamed, and I don't think Metro has any shame,
(20:49):
which was part of the reason why it took so
long to get to this point, because you wanted to
play like we weren't seeing what we were seeing. Oh no, no, no,
Metro's not all that dangerous, Oh no, no, no. Ridership
is up. How many stories have you talked about Mark
Ronner which is coming from CNS, you know, City News Service.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Somehow ridership is up on.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Metro as if that is an indicator of how people
feel about writing Metro.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
This will shock you, but I found as a reporter
that institutions tend to want to portray themselves in the
best possible light.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Oo.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
No, I know it's mind blowing, isn't it. All I
need to know is Metro. When am I going to
get like a key to the city, mayor bas you
know how to find me? Can I get some sort
of resolution? You know, some sort of I don't know,
just like a proclamation, Oh I see Amo Kelly day
in your future. You know what, wouldn't that be nice?
(21:45):
Not only would it be nice, it would be appropriate,
It would be well deserved, it would have been earned.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Five.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
I'm going to be giving myself a lot more credit.
I may pull a muscle patting myself on the back,
but you know what it'll be, It'll be worth it.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
It's Later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Let's talk Weimo when we come back and the paid
provocateur Ta Walla Sharp, who's on the payroll of Weimo,
will join us. Was his thoughts about how Weimo was
so great despite the fact of all the carnage and
the chaos that Weimo is creating right here in southern California.
Speaker 6 (22:20):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on Demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
And as I was saying earlier.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Just in case you don't know, I always teach Saturdays
at my dojong, which is Korean for a studio songs
hop Keto four three five four Supovida Boulevard in Culver
City nine zero two three zero. Teach the Saturday classes
from nine am to noon, and then tomorrow I'll actually
be going on and doing some basketball officiating in Carson,
But that's a separate story. The reason I mentioned Culver City,
(22:49):
I'm there every Saturday. If you just want to see
me doing hop keto or teaching hop keto learning about
hop keto, you can find me there. But I mentioned
it because I'm always in Culver City, and when I'm
all in Culver City, it seems a high traffic area
for Weimo autonomous taxis. I see them every time I'm
(23:10):
in the city, usually driving up and down Supulvia to Boulevard.
Maybe they're going to the Westfield Town Center or there's
going some of the high traffic areas in Culver City.
But I always see them, and I bring that up
because I think about how they're maneuvering different obstacles traffic conditions.
It's not far where my Hopkito studio is it's not
(23:33):
far from the Culver City City Hall and the police department,
so you will see a lot of activity which could,
in my mind, be an obstacle for an autonomous vehicle.
Then I read this story and I'm not going to
blame this on WEIMO. It is something that we did discuss.
We figured that these cars would be vandalized, some would
(23:53):
try to carjack them. In sure enough, a man was
arrested early yesterday morning after allegedly trying to hijack one
of these self driving taxis in downtown LA. The attempt
at theft occurred around one am yesterday morning near the
intersection of South Hill Street and Fifth Street. Police approached
(24:13):
the man behind a riot shield and from what I
also read, he seemed to be under the influence. No,
couldn't have been, He had to have been sober. The
semi inebriated person refused to get out of the WEIMO
and then an officer opened the door and pulled the
man out. He was arrested shortly afterward, and it got
(24:35):
us thinking like, well, what are the precautionary measures, what
are the things which would prevent someone actually getting in
the driver's seat and stealing the car?
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Or wrecking the car.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
According to WEIMO quote WEIMO vehicles are designed so that
unauthorized individuals cannot disengage the automated driving system and manually
operate the vehicles. When any unauthorized individual sits in a
driver's seat way, most writer support team can ask them
to leave the vehicle and end the ride. Excuse me, sir,
(25:10):
You're not supposed to be in the seat. Could you
please leave the vehicle? Please, thank you very much. If
they don't comply with commands to leave the vehicle, rider
support coordinates with our Emergency Response team, which works with
law enforcement to respond.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
I don't know about you.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
I don't know if that's a thorough enough explanation of
what it will do to prevent someone from commandeering the car.
Someone coming over the speaker and saying please get out
of the driver's seat is not quite enough for me.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Yeah, it's probably like on.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Star, they'll call the police and disable the vehicle. But
I need a little bit more. I need to like
like something like James Bond, like a gas canister electoral, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Something like that.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
So you want like some type of strap to go
around the perpetrator and electrocute them in the scene.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Oh, I need some sort of deterrent Spike's coming out
of the back of the seat or something like that.
Why do you need that because they'll tell about the
father not to do it.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
I can't see Tuala from where I'm sitting. Is he
actually wearing Waimo branded clothing?
Speaker 3 (26:10):
You?
Speaker 1 (26:11):
I think?
Speaker 3 (26:11):
So?
Speaker 1 (26:12):
What's w son of? Look it's the what is a whall? Look?
Speaker 5 (26:17):
Look, let's not worry about what I'm wearing, okay, or
what is it in my pocket? I am a a
vested interest in seeing the furthering of technology. And I'm
glad they caught this sob and righteously so. And I
think that Waymo's response of giving this into because this
individual was obviously drunk and they said, hey, hey, hey sir,
(26:39):
you need to exit this vehicle now. When this individual
didnerally say okay, you know what we're I'm missing around,
they did what you're supposed to do. They called the police,
and the police came and got them, and it comes
to an end.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
This is a bravo for Wayne. I said, I was
not blaming Waimo, I know.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
But you say, but you want there to be some
level of gassing, yes, or electric shit. Yes, I don't
know if they neither, because wamo's also a car for
the people. They don't want people to be afraid. Yeah,
don't rule out impalement, impaalment. WAMO doesn't need that. WAMO
doesn't need to be killing would be thieves. Why not
(27:17):
that that's a runner thing? Isn't that like cat?
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Wait?
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Mark, I know you're not a lawyer, but you worked
a crime beat.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Is that like castle? Doctor? Doesn't that apply to your
car as well? If I'm not mistaken?
Speaker 4 (27:27):
Oh yeah, they should be able to set the person
on fire in the car.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Do it just once, it will stop one good time,
one good time. The next fool who tries to commandeer
a waymo and let's say a bullet shoots out of
the middle of the steering wheel. I don't want the
end of it done. Oh remember which movie was at Mark?
(27:52):
And I know you know which had the ejector seat,
Roger Moore, Well, the ejector seat started in Goldfinger.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Goldfinger, that's right.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
So we just want to start launching people out of
waims into the air.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
You damn skipping? That would be brilliant, It was great. Yeah,
what case would they have it's proportional. It's like, look,
try to steal the WEAIMO. You can verbally, you can
get one verbal warning. I'm okay with that. I'm not
against that in your studio now and teaching. Okay, we
are now going to And then you just see someone
flying into the air right outside.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
Yeah, and with the cameras you could capture the look
on their face when they're on the way up.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
You can have a warning, just like in squid game.
And then oh, after the second warning, let it rip. Yep,
it's fair, it's fir.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
I don't have look again, I am not blaming WEIMO
for the criminality of humans. There is a question of,
since there is not a driver, whether it is more
of a target, or seemingly more of a target than
a traditional car with a human in it. In other words,
(28:58):
it's maybe more likely to be jacked. I think that
as the rollout continues. And now I was listening to
a report actually on my way in where they're talking
about how WAYMO has been so successful in La San
Francisco and other areas where now this program is likely
to roll out statewide or a nationwide within the coming months.
(29:24):
There has to be some provision within WAYMO where they
are actually looking at a serious deterren I don't know
if it's a bullet shooting out of the steering wheel
or ejector seats, or electrocution, Maybe a laser that goes to.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Any of them.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
I'm just you know, I'm just spitballing here. Maybe a
guillotine that goes in the head, wrist. I don't know
now you're talking, but something will be done. WAYMO will
not stand for this.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
I also question whether this individual is not clear in
the story. Did he break the driver's side window and
crawl in or did he just open up the door
because it was unlocked.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
That's something and I would want to know. Now here's
what I do know.
Speaker 5 (30:02):
If there is a ride happening where there is a
passenger who is like who has already engaged in the ride,
you cannot open the door from them from the outside.
You will not be able to do that. And that's
to protect the passengers in the car. So you cannot
just walk up to a way MOW while someone's in
there and open up the door on them.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Okay, And I still want to see how he attempted
to hijack the car.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
He got into the car, he got into the seat.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
It doesn't say that he was a passenger and then
tried to climb into the driver's seat. But I mean, look,
not that I'm trying to make sense out of the
criminal nonsense out there, but you got to know in
a driver list taxi, there are cameras all through the thing.
There's all sorts of electronic information data which is being
(30:51):
sent as far as where the car is, what's happening
with it? You know, how did you think you're going
to steal it and nobody know and take it so
somewhere where nobody would find out. And what we're gonna
do with You're gonna strip it, you're gonna sell it
for parts? How does that actually work? What was the
criminal upside to it? That's the point.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
Yeah, you're gonna find this hard to swallow. But they
don't always think things through really well before they do
this stuff. I know.
Speaker 5 (31:16):
And these cars are obvious, man, but they're not white Nissans.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Yeah they're white. They have these spinning cameras around them.
You cannot miss them. You cannot.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
You got to get you in one mode just to
look take you from you can house to the studio.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
You cannot. Why not.
Speaker 5 (31:35):
Look after a day of teaching, don't you just want
to get in a ride and just be able to
snack on your way home?
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Yeah? But what am I gonna do with my car
that I drove there with?
Speaker 3 (31:43):
No?
Speaker 5 (31:43):
No, that's in same back and forth. It gets you
from the house to the studio, from the studio back home.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Okay, well you have to sell it up with way Moo.
Speaker 5 (31:52):
I will reach out to Wayne Moo absolutely, because now
I see you're warming up to the idea that you're
becoming I want the news getting a way more crash. No,
you're becoming more familiar. You're seeing them more and more
as you're teaching, and that alone should open you up
to the possibilities.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
You are a teacher.
Speaker 5 (32:11):
You are imparting wisdom and knowledge upon the next generation
of hopketo masters, and this.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Has something for you to take gether No, no, no, yeah,
hopketo has nothing to do with weymo. It's getting kind
of thick in here, isn't it. Yes, it is. Yeah,
he's really laying it on thick. It's almost like someone
paid him to say that. I don't know who. When
we come back, I have my suspicions stuff. Remember how
yesterday I told you how moderate consumption of alcohol had
health benefits.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Just act like that never happened.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Okay, that new study, it's been overruled by the search
in general, and the search in general says no, that's
not true and alcohol should have cancer warning labels. So
if you're drinking right now, as a lot of people
do while listening Later with mo Kelly, I don't mean
to ruin your buzz or the game later on, name
that movie called classic.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
I'm just giving you the news. Well what I think
about the news.
Speaker 6 (33:02):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Yeah, so the surge in general is definitely gonna blame
it on the.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Alcohol.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
Sorry to ruin your buzz, because I know a lot
of you listening right now have already started with your
wine or your whiskey or your wine whiskey and some weed.
No judgment, but I just have to give you this
information because it comes on the tail of what we've
discussed last night, where according to a new study, modern
(33:39):
consumption of alcohol has some health benefits. The surge in general,
Vivic Murphy said, alcohol consumption increases the risk of at
least seven types of cancer, including breast, colon, liver, but
most US consumers remain unaware of this. This is according
(33:59):
to the Search in General, and to that in the
Search in General recommends that alcoholic drinks should carry a
warning about cancer risks on their label, not unlike what
we've seen with a tobacco style regulation of years past.
Murphy also called for the guidelines on alcohol consumption limits
(34:21):
to be reassessed so that people can weigh the cancer
risk when deciding whether or how much to drink. US
dietary guidelines currently recommend two or fewer drinks per day
for men, and one drink or less per day for women.
Two per day for men or one or less for women.
(34:44):
I don't know, and I know you know. If you
want to get into the two unit measurements, we can
go in the weeds and know that. But look, when
you say two drinks to me, I'm thinking alcohol as
in liquor, like two jacks, because two beers is not
the same as two jacks. But if they mean two
(35:06):
beers as in two drinks, well then my two jacks
were like six, and I just had six on New
Year's ease, that must have like twenty units of alcohol.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
I don't know what I'm gonna do about this.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
Mark Seriously, Yesterday I told you I was gonna live forever.
Now I think I should be putting my house in order.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
I'm right, It's like, well, I'm pretty sure the damage
is already done when it comes to me.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
I only I stopped myself at two drinks tonight, But
they're pretty stiff to drinks. Yes, I mean, if it's
in a big gulp, it still counts as one.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Here, you're right, if that's one drink, I mean it's
the same cup.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
It's one drink.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
But to be absolutely serious, I do not drink half
as much as I did, let's say, ten years ago.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Well you can't.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
My body won't allow me, and I don't have the
desire to. My sleep is far more important. My overall
health is far more important. But actually, to be absolutely serious,
I thought we would have been at this point in
a regulation since fifteen twenty years ago, like we were
(36:18):
with cigarettes and vaping and what have you. I'm actually
surprised because I thought the tobacco tobacco lobby was stronger
than the liquor lobby.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
Yeah, the liquor lobby was never on my radar because
I thought everybody pretty much knew drinking isn't exactly a
healthy thing to do. But you know, you're an adult,
whereas cigarettes, you're just that's a mouthful of death every time.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
But remember cigarettes, I don't think they could.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
No, you can't even show televised ads for cigarettes anymore.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
No more Marlborough man, he's been retired.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
But we you know, for beer and wine and liquor,
those ads are ubiquitous. It's like sending synonymous with the
Super Bowl, our socialization, what we consider having a festive time, hell, eggnog.
Just it's it's actually interwoven in just about every facet
of life.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
And uh, maybe that's part of it.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
But he never saw the same type of pushback for
alcohol that you did with cigarettes and tobacco.
Speaker 4 (37:22):
I think that's probably from a sociological standpoint, because alcohol,
altering your consciousness with alcohol has been a part of
humanity since we've been on two feet.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
Wow, that's pretty profound.
Speaker 4 (37:35):
From the old days of the women chewing up the
stuff and spitting it into the cup for it to
for men.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
I never really thought about it that way.
Speaker 4 (37:43):
It's I mean, it's a ritual, it's a it's a
socialization thing. We've we've just always done it. Smoking probably
as well. But I should point out I don't know
if you know this, but drinking is fun and it
makes you feel good.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
Did you know that?
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Yeah, I'm gonna rain on your parade and more. Oh,
this is the Surgeon General. Look, I gotta do it.
He had more to say. Quote, alcohol consumption is the
third leading preventable cause of cancer in the US, after
tobacco and obesity.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Would you like me to leave you any of my
books or anything. No, I may not outlive you.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
Yeah, Murphy's office said in a statement of company the
new report, adding the type of alcohol consumed does not matter.
So it does not matter according to the Surgeon General.
It doesn't matter if it's beer, it doesn't matter if
it's wine. It doesn't matter if it's jack whiskey. So
having said that, I might as well just keep on
drinking jack because I don't drink beer.
Speaker 4 (38:37):
Well, directly related to this, have you noticed a proliferation
of liver supplements lately commercials on TV that we never
ever had before?
Speaker 1 (38:46):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (38:46):
No, no, no, I'm quite sure they're putting one in
one together. Yeah, And it's almost like the ashtray community say, hey,
you know what, there are a lot of smokers out there,
let's start making ashtrays.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
There are a lot of drinkers out there.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Let's start making liver pills or you know, liver gum.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
No, no, no, it all works together.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
It says, it's unclear whether or if the Surgeon general
suggestions will be adopted. President Biden's administration is ending, so
Murphy's going to be probably out of a job. Anyhow,
there will be a new Surgeon General, less likely that
such a guidance will be followed up on. So you'll
make your own individual thoughts decisions about whether you will
(39:28):
change your drinking habits relative to that guideline and advisement.
By the way, I probably will have a shot tonight
before I go to sleep.
Speaker 4 (39:38):
I'm going to mix my drink with fruit juice so
that I know it's healthy.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
But philosophically, it's like I can't worry about everything. I
know that something is going to get me eventually. I
know that, and I try to balance out my bad
habits or not so good habits with some good habits.
I exercise every damn day eye stretch. I have a
pretty decent diet that I've been working hard on for
(40:05):
at least two three years. I lost a good thirty
five pounds during the pandemic, no exaggeration, damn it. I'm
gonna have a drink every now and then. And I
know why. Like I used to think about older people,
like why they were so obstinate, and they wouldn't give up
this so they wouldn't give up that. I'm now that person.
I understand it. I get it. I can have the
perfect diet, I could have the perfect exercise regimen, and
(40:28):
I could still drop dead, like Jim Fix, who did
the book of running a hard day right while running.
Speaker 4 (40:33):
It is your god given right to enjoy a drink
at the end of the day. You're not gonna let
some surgeon general rob you of that. What do they
know anyhow? What do they know about medicine? They call
it medical practice for a reason. They're practicing fake news.
It's all fake news, fake liver news. Friday Nights with
not a CoA Dela cruise when we come back. If
I am six forty, life everywhere, I heartradio app cheers.
Speaker 1 (40:55):
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't let KMI fill
