Speaker 1 (00:12):
You're listening to the best of later with Moe Kelly.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours from all of us.
I would like to think of myself, by and large
as kind of a happy guy, getting happier and happier
as life goes on. I try not to sweat the
small stuff, and in alignment with that, I came across
(00:35):
this list talking about the happiest states in the United States.
And sometimes we get bogged down by the news. We think, whoa,
if this is happening, that's happening, and that's happening, we
must be very unhappy. We talk about what's going on
with the Metro, if we talk about what's happening with crime,
if we talk about what's happening on Capitol Hill, and
(00:57):
if we just fall victim or prey to the news,
sometimes we may think that life is horrible, but I
try not to. But this list twenty twenty three's happiest
States in America comes to us from wallet Hub, and
I wanted to start there because sometimes we mistake what
true unhappiness is and it's more just an extension of
(01:19):
what we feel about the news, not how we are
feeling individually or collectively.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Within this state.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Well, according to this to determine where Americans exhibit the
best combination of factors including emotional and physical wellbeing, work environment,
community environment, they ranked the fifty states and Stefan, you
didn't know I was going to talk about this, And
I know Mark Rodner didn't know I was going to
(01:46):
talk about this, Twaller Sharp.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
He may have known because I kind of discussed it
with him. Nobody ever tells me anything. Well, you're not.
You're like a child, not key personnel story in my life.
You're like a child. You're supposed to be seen, not heard.
Thank you. Okay.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
So if I were to ask you, Steph, just a guess,
what do you think the happiest state in the Union
would be? And also the unhappiest state, what would you
take a guess it to be?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
And again, this is happy.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
To do with emotional, physical wellbeing, work environment, community and environment.
And what made me think about this because it said
work environment and which connected with me is like, hey,
I think you have the best job on the face
of the earth.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Happiest I would say North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
North Carolina. Where does North Carolina come up on this list?
Number twenty six right in the middle of the pack.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Oh wow, I guess unhappiest. I would say New York.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
New York is number sixteen. So New York as a
state is happier by and large than North Carolina.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Now it may come down to your preference of style
of living. Is not like people are unhappy with New York,
but not everyone is I would say, appreciative of a
largely urban state. Largely you know, if you go to
upstate New York, it's a different experience altogether from in
the city in Manhattan.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
What have you in the boroughs? Mark Roner, do you
have any guests.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
It's as far as what you think the happiest date
again according to wallet hub, and we'll get to where
California is the unhappiest state.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
That's kind of a rough one because I would have
guessed California. But really, you think California is the happiest date.
That's my guess.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
California, since you asked, the Golden State is number seven,
number one being happiest. Okay, And I know your results
may vary, and this is you know, it's not necessarily
indicative of how everyone may feel about California. I am
not let me make this if I can compartmentalize it
(03:52):
for a second. I know that not everyone is happy
about California, and I'm not happy about California, but I'm
happy in California, that makes any sense.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
I like it here. Didn't like the drive here, but
I like it here. I don't like the traffic, but
home is home for me.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
I love California, all of her warts included.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Now, there are a lot of things which can be in.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Improved, dramatically improved, but I wouldn't want to live anywhere else,
not at this point in my life, not right now.
Maybe after our retire, but not now. I'm pretty damn
happy here. I'm hitting my five year mark. I'm an
Angelino now. I like it here.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Well, welcome.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
You can't claim us yet, No, no, no, you need
another twenty before you can another.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I'm not gonna live another twenty.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Okay, Well, you'll never be an Angelino ban Who do
you think might be unhappiest.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
It's got to be someplace in the South, because I
read about that stuff pretty routinely, someplace like Louisiana. I'm guessing, Oh, Louisiana,
you sure about that? Not completely, but I bet it's
in the south south southeast.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Yeah, you're spot on. Louisiana's number forty nine.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Ah, what's the final one? West root fiftieth.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
As the least happiest state according to wallet hub for
twenty twenty three. And just to let you know, here
are the top ten and we'll do top ten and
bottom ten. Coming in at number ten as far as
happiest the state of Nebraska number nine, Idaho number eight,
Florida number seven, As we said, California number six, Connecticut
(05:25):
number five, New Jersey number four, Minnesota number three, Maryland,
number two, Hawaii, and number one Utah. Now, this is
the only thing I would say for the states which
are south, which are I would say more economically disadvantage.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
That makes sense why those states.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Would probably be less happy than others, because you're probably.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Unable to move or leave.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
And go to other states where for the most part,
I would say, I'm the state that I want to be.
Mark is in the state that he wants to be in.
If you are in the state that you want to
be in, you're more likely to be happier than as
opposed to being in a state that you are stuck in.
Bottom ten coming in in number forty one is Oklahoma,
(06:18):
forty two is New Mexico, forty three is Alaska, and
this is where Mark Runner has proven right. Number forty
four Mississippi, forty five Alabama, Alabama, wah Nelle for Malaia
for Marooskie, Keith Jockson. Number forty six is Kentucky, forty
(06:41):
seven Arkansas, forty eight, Tennessee, forty nine Louisiana, and number
fifty West Virginia.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Yeah, rough, rough job. If you're on the board of
tourism in these places, well, you know what. I've never
been to West Virginia. I think I would like to
visit it, I wouldn't want to live there. Been to
Louisiana a few times, been to Tennessee. I love city
of Nashville. Been to Arkansas a few times. Have I
been to Kentucky.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I don't know if I've been to Kentucky or maybe
I've driven through Kentucky, been to Alabama. Have not been
to Mississippi, have no desire to be even driving through
Mississippi for any number of reasons. Alaska, I had a
chance to go for fraternity convention, didn't go, and I
regret that because I want to go to Alaska, forty two,
New Mexico, been there many times, forty one, Oklahoma, forty Indiana.
(07:30):
I've been to maybe forty out of fifty states, just
off the top of my head.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Oh, Indiana's a hell hole. I live there. I've been there,
but I don't think I would want to live there.
You don't even want to do anything but drive through
there with your windows rolled up and your doors locked.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Yet there's some cities that I didn't mind, but as
far as the state as a whole, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
You know, or maybe it is a hole. H Oli.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
You're listening to the best of Later with Moe Kelly.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours from all of us.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
You're listening too late with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Have you ever gone out, as we talk about tipping
and social etiquette, have you ever gone out to a
restaurant and you have maybe a party of seven or
eight or even ten, and you start thinking about the
inevitable discussion of okay, are we going to split the
tab or we're gonna have one person pay it? And
there are things which make it a little bit easier
today when you have services like cash app or Venmo.
(08:34):
It's easy for or I should say easier for someone
to put down their card and then maybe everyone reimburse
at one person. That's something that I've been known to do,
and it makes it a lot easier than let's say,
five years ago, where everyone, or I should say, three
people would have cash, two people would have credit cards,
and one person have a debit card, and it was
just a cluster truck. Now it's getting a little bit easier,
(08:58):
but there's still questions about the soul etiquette of splitting
the check. I came across this article and it features
Kiki are Anita, a food editor at New York Magazine,
and she goes over common scenarios you may encounter while
dining out with a large group. And I wonder if
you Tuala, and you Mark and you Stefan agree with
(09:18):
her suggestions about splitting a check.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Here we go. Here's scenario number one. You arrived to
dinner late.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Everyone at the table already ordered drinks and appetizers and
are about to order their entrees. What should you do
as the person who arrived late, turn right around and
walk out because you're screwed. Because even in the best
case scenario, if you just operate like a normal human being,
there's always going to be some jerk who orders a
(09:46):
bunch of drinks and you're gonna pay more than your
fair share.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I hate that. Okay, well, come to that.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
But Keiki says, when you're ready to order, tell your
server you want your food and drinks on a separate check.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
I've tried that and they say no. If you're in
a group over a certain size, do that. That's a problem.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Yeah, so the best answer may not be an available
answer may not be an available solution.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Let's going to scenario number two.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Everyone ordered alcohol except you, and now the table wants
to split the tab fair and square across all the
food and drink. I've been in this situation and it's
not cool. It's not cool because those drinks are like
fifteen twenty dollars a pop. Sometimes.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Yeah, but we should defer to to all on this
because I'm not the one who's gonna abstain from ordering
a drink. Okay.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Now, when I have gone to a few beat reunion
get togethers like the old station I used to work out,
we would all get together, and a lot of the
old bat crew they still drink. And even if I go,
even if I show up late and I don't really
order a lot because of this crew, I still, no
matter what, put in more than anything. I don't care
(10:53):
if I were to just an appetizer. I'm putting in
an entrees worth towards my tab because that's just how
I do.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
I do it well, and I'll put over and above
that because I assume there's gonna be a tip in there. Yes,
And whenever I go out with people, they act like
there's not gonna be a tip, so they're only paying
for their food. It's like, come on, the bill is
two hundred and forty five dollars and we have two
hundred and fifty.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Yeah, what the frick. That's a problem. That's a problem.
That's so irritating.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
It is so irritating, but you have to do it.
Here's scenario number three. You're a party of six. Is
it okay to ask the server to split the check
six ways? I just did this when I was in Korea,
and the technology is such where it's very easy now,
depending on the place you go, you can just give
them the six cards or whatever. And most places they
don't trip. They just it's almost like just filling in
(11:38):
check boxes and they can they just scan your cards
and then just assigning the amount to them.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Now there's a restaurant again with my beat crew, there
is a restaurant we went to I believe it was
in Highland Park where when we sat down, the waitress
came around and took each person's order separately, even though
we were in the same group. Because it's almost that
four or we're thinking of already. Know you all are
not trying to put this together. You all showed up
(12:04):
at different times. Each one of us got our own
tab and that's why that's the best case scenario.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Yeah, if the place can accommodate it. Now, according to
our Anita, who has also been a bartender and server,
recommends a maximum of two to four credit cards. Yeah, whatever,
good luck, you got a party of six two credit cards.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Scenario number four, it's your birthday and your friends take
you out.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Who should pay for the meal? The friends? You took
me out? I would have been at the house, I'm
saying to friends, Oh, the birthday person never pays all right,
all right, hell.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
No, they say in American culture, that's the correct answer.
But that's made me Maybe not always the case, So
you have to be aware of your friends.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
You're not.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Look, if you're gonna take me out for my birthday,
damn it. If I have to pull out my wallet,
we're gonna have a misunderstanding. Yeah, whatever, a problem. Unacceptable.
Last scenario, it's your friends first time at your favorite
restaurant and you decide to order an appetizer that you
think everyone at the table will love.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Who pays for that?
Speaker 4 (13:07):
If I order the appetiser, I think everyone's gonna like it,
Ye're paying for it. Okay, I agree.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Just torch the place. These things are so irritated, Just
set the restaurant on fire. No, No, that's the that's
that's the way it is.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
If I want to get i don't know, crab cakes
or whatever, and I don't know if anyone else wants it,
I'm going to get a larger order, and I'm paying
for that because I wanted it.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
But I'm saying, MO, you want something, right, you make
it available. Have you seen the SNL skit on this
with Owen Wilson.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
I don't think so. It's very funny. Here's a check
when you're ready.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
He was great, by the way, I think we tip
them right.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Okay, so how should we do this? I mean, I
guess I could put it on my car.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
No, no, no, you don't.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
You don't have to do that. If it's easier, we
can just split it six ways.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Well, some people had more than others.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Let's just go through and see who ordered what. That's fair.
That's me Coke zero. That's me, Sprite zero me as well,
just obeying my thirst.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Iced tea met Arnold Palmer, Arnold Palmer with tequila.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Some one had to get the party started.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Whole roasted chicken, extra potatoes, familiar flat iron pork chops,
about broccoli for potatoes? Okay, no, no, no, no, wait
that I ordered for the table, although I probably did
eat the lion's share of it.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Ninety eight ounce Porterhouse steak. Okay, don't look at me
because I did not get that. I'm serious, I didn't
get that. There's no way. Come on, there's a photo
of you on the wall eating it.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Maybe four bacon cheeseburgers to go.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Okay, I'm off the hot seat, Bob, that's you. I'm
a vegetarian a little too much.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Information, the Carson Daily chicken broth and vodka.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Yeah, I was trying to witch it up.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
A man cannot live on tequila alone.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Five shots of tequila, but leave them in the bathroom
so my friends don't find out.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
I'm actually more concerned you called us friends.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
A dozen raw eggs still in the container that I'll
admit was.
Speaker 7 (15:16):
A little grocery shopping, and I don't expect you.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Guys to pay for that.
Speaker 8 (15:20):
A bottle of your nicest white wine with a note
that says, please take me back, Jennifer. I am so,
so so sorry. I know we can make this work
if you just tell the judge you were lying.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
They wrope out on the bill. Just do embarrass me.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
No, they charged you because you asked for it to
be done by a calligrapher.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Beautiful bowl of turkey chili with a rum floater.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Didn't I do that?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Rcle Another small side of potatoes, but that actually was me.
Those potatoes did look good. And a Cadillac margarita. It's
five am somewhere right.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
This is the best of Later with Moe Kelly. Happy Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
When I got up this morning, I went in the
garage and I have to pull out my car because
I had to pull out my trash cans from the backyard.
Long story short, I pulled straight out of my garage.
Why because I backed in Previously? Every time I pull
in my garage, I back in. Boo, I back into
(16:31):
my garage. When I park at work, boo, I back
into my parking space. And a lot of people wonders, well,
is there a law in California? Are you allowed to
do that? Here's the short answer. Yes, there's no law
preventing it, but private garages and parking lots they can
(16:54):
prohibit it. You may go to a parking lot and
it says head in only as in park head forward facing.
But if it doesn't have that sign, I'm always backing in.
Some people think that's very pretentious. Mark is probably one
of those people. No, it's just irritating. Okay, one of
the same.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
I agree with Mark. Oh here we go, Yeah, what
is happening right now? Okay? Wait, are you siding with him? Tauala?
How does my back in?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
How does my backing into a parking space impact you negatively?
Speaker 2 (17:28):
It's irritating for the person who's got to be riding
with you. Does your wife like this?
Speaker 1 (17:32):
No, I'm actually gentlemanly enough to say, hey, babe, you
can go ahead and get out here, because.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
You know it's irritating. No.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
No, it's not irritating parking head and doesn't have anything
to do with with her getting in or out.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Of the car. It's irritating for the people in the
other cars waiting for you. It's just irritating. How is
it irritating for other cars? You back in? Look just
making up stuff? Mark, No, because it takes longer. It
takes forever, while everybody else just wants you to park
your damn car.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
Oh oh, you can't drive right, that's what we're talking about,
because it's just one move, and all the people straight
in they're usually like have to do like a three
point turn if they don't cut it sharp enough to
get it on the first try.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
So what you're saying is that it would be irritating
if you weren't such an expert at it.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
No, it's bad even if you're a regular parker and
you want to go in and you're all crooked. Most
of the crooked parkers are people who go head in
and can't make that turn and they just park all angled.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
That's also irritating.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
That's right, that's actually more irritating because you're typically taking
the more than one space when.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
You do that.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
However, like to Mark's point, it's at your own place.
That's you can do whatever you want. You're not, you know,
getting in anyone's way. But when you're in a parking lot,
you're basically saying, I'm the only person here, stand back.
I'm going to back end, and it backs up the
line so much, not necessarily I have a counter to that.
(18:59):
Have you ever on to a parking lot. I'm sure
you have.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Let's say it's target or something like that, and you're
waiting for this idiot to slowly back out of the
parking space so you can pull in.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
And the reason why they're going so slowly is because they're.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Looking over their right shoulder, looking over the left shoulder,
making sure no one's walking behind them, making sure they
have enough space to slowly pull out, and they'll do
like a reverse three point turn pulling out of that
space as opposed to driving straight out.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
The existence of other irritating things doesn't negate your irritating things.
It's actually more irritating because it's like, can't you get
And you know, if you say that, you're not sitting
in your car screaming to yourself, Oh my god, can't
you drive? There's no more behind you just bare girled.
It happened too.
Speaker 6 (19:43):
But then I have that same kind of uh, same
kind of reaction when someone decides to back in and
there's three cars deep.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Well, look, all I can say is I know how
to drive.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
And if other people can't drive, that's not negative towards me,
that's negative tour towards them.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
That's their problem.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
And part of the reason I started doing this true
story true story. I saw my shareff friend, he was
working for Century Station back in the day, and I
was asking him because not only did he park his
personal car, but he would use his deputy cruiser sheriff cruiser.
He would always back into whatever. And I said, why is
(20:22):
that you always do this? We always got to go
at a moment, stoness. We always have to be ready.
That's part of the reason when we leave the engine running,
you know, because we always got to go or be
ready to go.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
So you, on the other hand, might need to zoom
to an in and out or something immediately.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Maybe look maybe and Mark, you know, when we've gone
downstairs we got in my car to go to the movies.
It's always back then. Why because it's downstairs is dark
and I don't know what's down there. If I need
to get in and take off and just run down
whoever's going to be in my way for any jacking purposes.
I don't care if it's a parking lot. I don't
care if it's a movie theater or a gym. I
don't care where you are. You need to be ready
(20:55):
to go.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
If it's good enough for law enforcement, it's good enough
for me. If it's if it's a good practice for them,
it's good practice for me.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
It's all about safe day across the board. Safe day, yeah,
because that's the other side of it.
Speaker 6 (21:09):
Like to Toalla's point, getting mad about someone taking fevor
to back out. Sometimes you're behind the person that's going
to back into the spot, but you turn into they
have to turn and then back in. It looks like
they're going to go into the other spots, so I'm
ready to go around them.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
And oh no, no, no, no, no, no, you're supposed to handle it,
just like you would parallel parking, where you put on
your signal. There's what you're supposed to do. Have you
ever pulled up to a parking space on the right,
like you're on the street and you pass it because
you're going to back in parallel park you're supposed to
put on your signal. It's the same thing when you're
(21:43):
going down the lane in a parking lot, you put
on your signal so they know that you're going into
that parking space if someone is behind you.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
So you think you're like the navigator in Star Trek
whatever the new one is, who can just zip in
and out of asteroids. It's way too obscure market. Everybody
else who's waiting for you is like Jesus, just park
the car.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
No, no, no no, because the people who are waiting, if
they're waiting, nine out of ten of them probably are
backing into their space as well.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
See I'm a good middle person because I think both
sides have a great argument.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Oh come on, pick a side.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
Well, I see your side where it's like it's for me,
it's situational. If I'm closer to a door in an
area where it's dark, I will and the doors on
my left side. I will park in reverse to make
sure that my door is closer to my entrance or exit,
so I could just get into my car and go.
Or if the opportunity arises and I can pull in
(22:40):
or pull in backwards, I'll do that. But then I
also see where I'm impatient, like pull out or pull
into your spot backwards or forwards, like just park.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Okay, please, But when I'm parking, it's about me. I
notice if you had diplomatic plates on your your car,
because you sound like perhaps you consider yourself an ambassador.
You can't be delayed. You must when you're ready to go.
You've got to get out there and get to the
next venue. I'll stop you when you're wrong going. No, no, no,
this is all for clarification. But he just made our point.
(23:15):
It's all about me.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
But whoever is pulling in head first, they're not actually
taking me into consideration when I have to wait for
them to slowly back their ass out. Haven't you been
sitting there site, there's no one behind you. There's no
one behind you. Please pull out, please, that's the thing
as opposed to the person just drive straight.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Through like.
Speaker 6 (23:39):
I guess it just negates each other because that's but
both the same irritation.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Well, there's look for if you're worried about irritation on
the front end or the back end, that has to
do with the person that's behind you. I'm talking about
me as the person who's parking. I have my own
priorities that I'm dealing with, one of which is in
an emergency, I want to be able to pull straight out. Also,
I don't want to necessarily have to look over my
(24:08):
shoulder and chance not running hitting a pedestrian or a
car which is driving quickly behind me.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Have you ever been in a parking lot and someone's.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Just zooming down the aisle and you're pulling out backwards
and you almost hit them because that person's driving so
fast and you don't see them.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
I know I can't be the only one that's happened.
So that's also not absolutely not What kind of emergency
are you predicting that is going to happen to you
parking lot? I'm being one hunder serious. Now.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
I know we got to go break, but I'm being
very serious. We live in a world where you can
have a mass shooting in any moment. We live in
a world where you may have to get out of
there or get somewhere else in a moment's notice.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
And if it if it comes down to me having
to leave quickly, damn it. I want to be able
to pull straight out. I think I just figured out
what it really is. What is that you're incontinent trying
to go to the news?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Look at the time, we're live everywhere the iHeartRadio app.
We're serving up some of the best of Later with
mo Kelly on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
I AM six forty is Later with mo Kelly. We're
live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. And when I was
doing The mo Kelly Show, News from Florida was a
very popular segment.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
We started Later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
We said, no, we're not going to do any of
the old segments, and so we put News from Florida
to the side. Well, we decided to bring it back
at least for tonight because there's some stories which demand
the news from Florida.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Treatment.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
A Florida stripper has sued Florida's Attorney General and two
local prosecutors to stop enforcement of a new state law
prohibiting adult entertainment businesses from employee people who are under
the age of twenty one. The claim is it violates
their constitutional rights. Serenity Michelle Bushy.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Come on, I swear to you. I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
No, that's not her dancer day, that's her real name,
Serenity Michelle Bushy.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Were Yes. No.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Claims in the lawsuit that she lost her job at
Cafe riskay from me to the area. Yeah, here's satism
in the Gayesville area after the law took effect on Monday.
She is nineteen years old. The law obviously you must
be twenty one to work in a gentleman's club or
(26:52):
an adult entertainment establishment. According to the state, the purpose
of the law was to deter human trafficking.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
That's what the Florida says.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
The lawsuit filed yesterday in a federal court in Tallahassee
on behalf of miss Bushy, the owner of Cafe Risk
and two adult businesses in Jacksonville. It seeks a permanent
injunction stopping the law from being enforced, claiming it violates
their First Amendment right to free speech and shake their ass. No,
it doesn't say that it says right to free speech
(27:24):
and Fourteenth Amendment right to equal protection. Besides Bushy, Miss Bushy,
eight other adult performers who are older than eighteen but
younger than twenty one are unable to work at Cafe
Risk because of the new law. Let me just say this,
It does seem rather odd that they would have that
many employees impacted by this law.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
Uh no, No, because Florida is home to many trade
school and junior college that these girls are trying to
work their way through.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Trying to get their education. Yes, why are you gonna
stop them from getting an education?
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Well, I mean they could have gotten a job doing
something else. I don't know, like news that you know
talking about I don't know, like a car crashing into
seven eleven.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Do you want that's sexy? That's adult entertainment work. I
think working the poll pays a lot better than doing
the news. How do you know? How much do you
want to know?
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (28:25):
That's way too much. I think Miss Bushy is going
to have a close shave with the law. Come on ahead,
go ahead, He thought all segment for that one. Yeah,
I was saving that up, That's what he said. I'm
waiting I'm waiting starting too gross, too gross, okay. Quote.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
As with similar performers around the state, Bushy earned her
living through her art while providing entertainment for the benefit
and enjoyment of her audience.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
This is a lawsuit.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Plaintiffs have a clear legal right to engage and protect
the sex I mean speech of this nature close quote.
But the new law also prohibits hiring cooks, DJs, waitresses,
and security guards who are older than eighteen but younger
than twenty one, and even or even use workers in
that age group from third party contractors hired to perform
(29:19):
tasks such as air conditioning repairs or carpentry. That's random. Well,
I mean, I understand the issue, because why is it
you're going to penalize me. I am of age, I
am not consuming alcohol. You know why the random nature
of the age of twenty one that's supposed to deter
(29:42):
human trafficking.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
I don't see this.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
Sounds like this law was written by an individual who
was denied access to the champagne room.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Now stopping no. Probably got access to the champagne room
and left with an unhappy ending. That could do it too,
That could get a law.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
There's a lot of perverted senators in Florida and congress
people and congresspeople period. You know, local judges, cops, they're
all in Florida and they're probably all behind this law.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Remember when Matt Gates got busted for of true story?
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Yeah, true story, and there were a lot of investigations
swirling around him.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Did I say swirling? Uh? You know around him? Circlely? Yeah,
buzzing right of do you wa? He only had one?
He only had one? But actually I went to my
first strip club when I was eighteen.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
It was around my eighteenth birthday, and there were a
lot of eighteen year olds and here how, here's how
it was back in the day. I don't know if
it's still true now because I don't go to strip
clubs anymore.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
I missed him.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
But when I did go to strip clubs, if you
went to a fully nude strip club, they didn't.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Have alcohol, also didn't have food. Still like that, Yeah, no,
it is still like that. How do you know? Because
I've done research, Like New York.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
It is his birthday, that's right, Yes, yes, I think
I got some I think I got some dollar bills
somewhere for you get it?
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Foosh, Just don't try to stick it in Mark's g string. Okay,
we'll try. Not enough room.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
No, But there were two clubs, and I've told this before,
I soa I remind people. There was the First Kings
and the Barbary Coast if you know them in the
LA area. I think they're both closed now shut down.
I think the pandemic sad story. But if you went
to the First Kings, they weren't fully dude, so they
had alcohol. And I didn't understand why alcohol made the difference, Like,
(31:38):
if you only see this this anatomy, you you can
have alcohol, but if you see the full and now anatomy,
you can't have any alcohol.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
But I don't get I don't get it.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
The First King was also a place where you were
likely to see bullet wounds. Oh yeah, oh no, it was.
It was in the hood. You were going to see
you were gonna think. It's a woman who should have
named and named bushy problem.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
There was a problem with that club.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
But also it was well known that if you went
into they didn't have a champagne room.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
It was too ghetto to have a champagne room. It
just had a ro.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Went to the bag. But if you went to the
back and you had some money. Then you might be
treated a certain way. Oh that was a fact, Yes,
a certain way.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
What do you mean exactly? You would you might be
looked favorably upon first king named after the Book of
the Bible. King.
Speaker 4 (32:28):
You would find out, Yeah, you would find out why
her name, last name was bushy.
Speaker 7 (32:35):
Hell well, wait, you're still on a draw in your
old age stuff. And I'll tell you you turn thirty
six and just everything just starts falling apart.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Even the laugh was delayed, kind of a flaccid laugh there.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
Lord.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
This is the best of Later with Moke Kelly Live
Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
