Speaker 1 (00:22):
If I'm o Kelly. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
And I'm proud to say I made it by the
skin of my teeth. I made it through Christmas, and
I hope your Christmas or Honkah. The first night of
Honicah was wonderful. Tonight it's the second night of Hanakah.
Mark Runner, let me just say, first belated Merry Christmas.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
And same to you, Marris William He's got to pull
out the government name. I'm seeking common ground here.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
We pulled Mars.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Yes, Yes, was anything special or worth highlighting about your
day yesterday?
Speaker 3 (00:58):
I had the honor of working last night. Well, that's
not special in radio. You were sorely miss here. I
felt like the Maytag repair man here with Fosh.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Look you talk about Maytag repair man when I came
in tonight. Just for example, if you don't know, we
have all these motion sensors for detect movement in the
building or aren't any given floor, And if you don't
move for about fifteen twenty minutes at a time, all
the lights go out. It's a real pain in the
ass when you're sitting working at your desk. But anyhow,
(01:28):
I come in today. I want to say, it's maybe
four o'clock or so.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
The building is dark.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
There's not a light which has been initiated activated anywhere
on the floor. Nothing is going on on this floor,
with the exception of Stephan, who's working in an air mix.
Good evening, Stephan, But that means he hadn't walked he
hadn't walked down those halls for a good long time.
There was no one here, nobody here. It made me
(01:57):
just want to turn around and go home. It's like,
why am I Why am I here? And I remember, oh, yeah,
I got a show to do because the people need us. Yes,
that's why we're here, for the love of the job
and love of everyone listening. And then Taula came in
like two hours later and he said, why am I here?
The lights are off. It just seemed like no one
(02:18):
was here. We went up to the fifth floor, which
was the music radio floor. Nobody there except the cleaning crew.
There's literally no one in the building with exception of
us church mice.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
It's like an old zombie movie. We own the place,
there's nobody else alive, or the Omega man something like that.
You know how those movies ended, right, well, I wasn't
prepared to take it all the way to the logical conclusion.
There will be no cannibalism tonight. If I have anything
to say about it, all I can say is this
show I want to say, predicted and doomed my Christmas.
(02:54):
I feel I can tell all of you the truth.
No secrets here, no secrets here.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Remember, we had the conversation prior to Christmas about what
we needed in a Christmas meal, what we expected, what
we hoped for, And I.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Said I was a traditionalist.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yes, okay, my Christmas started off reasonable enough.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
I didn't have to get up real early.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
I got to lay in bed and sort of just
scratch and play with the dogs. Didn't have to do
anything much. Okay, give yourself a Dutch oven. Yeah, okay.
Then I got up wife. We went over to my
mother's house and had like an early Christmas breakfast with her,
or early for me.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
We got there like.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Ten thirty or so, all right, am, yeah, oh god, yeah,
it's hard for me to sleep past maybe six thirty
seven o'clock.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Okay, yeah, come home. No one has told me anything. Okay,
no one has told me anything. Come back home, take
a nice nap. Go to my and all this is
true story. I go to my sister's house for Christmas dinner.
So we had a number of families coming over to
her house for Christmas dinner. I'm quite sure someone's calling
her right now. Unbeknownst to me, because I'm busier than most,
(04:09):
my sister has sit out an invitation RSVP, so she'd
know how many people were coming.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
I didn't read the fine print. I didn't.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I'm not going to RSVP to my sister's house. I'm
just not okay. But the fine print said Italian style Christmas. Oh,
I would be one hundred percent down with that garlic bread, spaghetti, fetichini,
alfredo lasagna.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
What's not to love? Did you not hear the conversation
we had on this show recently, Yeah, well my half
of it.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I wasn't paying attention to your alf In my half,
I grew up with Italian people, and that's what we
had for Christmas dinner.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I had expectations that were not met. I was looking
for the turkey. I was looking for the grave y.
I was looking for even the yams a sweet potato
pie afterward. I was looking for all the traditional trimmings,
looking for the stuffing I was looking for all those things.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
You know how much I got of those things?
Speaker 3 (05:12):
I hope zero? Because this whining of yours is really distasting.
Would I be whining if I got any of that?
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Well?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
I got none of that, mark, I got none of that.
I felt like I jinxed myself. I got nothing of
what I was looking for. Are you no, you need?
You need the body drop? Because when I walked in
and I saw that stuff, and I just about dropped?
Okay kidding me? Are you familar with the phrase pearls
before his swine?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
I am, because I read the Bible and no, and
Moe actually had had it very good. Okay, because I
messed up and the place that I ordered my food
from that on their menu and on their website said
we are open. I put my order in only to
show to the restaurant to find out that they were
(05:57):
actually closed.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
So I ended up having yoshinoya.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Okay, all right, So.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
We should point out that for Fush and I, Tula
was our Christmas angel.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
He brought us in and out. You brought them in
and out. I did. I thought you just ordered it.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
I brought it up because Christmas Eve man, the crew
is here sitting eating. I'm like, you know what, I'm
in the area. I know for a fact they're hungry,
but let me check. I texted. I don't even think
my text finished sending. Have you guys finished eating? And
fush eating me back?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (06:31):
God, yes, we are hungry. I'm like, all right, it
was a Christmas miracle with cheese fries.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
It was good.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
So Stephan, tell us about your Christmas. I was also
part of the two man crew here. Yeah, but this
Christmas is like an all day type of observants. You
were working for what like four to ten, the three
to ten, three to ten, Okay, so what did you
do from nine am to three pm and two am? Honestly, well,
(07:02):
I slept in because I didn't have to do any
like outside work, and then I kind of prepared for
Conway Show a little bit, and then basically just drove
in because I was shocked at how much traffic there
was on Christmas. There was a lot There's a lot
of traffic on Christmas Eve, and there was a lot
of traffic on Christmas Day. Because I was like, oh,
maybe I can leave it like two thirty today, and
(07:24):
I looked at the time at like one five, and
it was like, yeah, you'll get there in like fifty
five minutes. I'm like, oh jeez, okay, yeah, no, no
lake time for me and Mark.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
You had Italian food yesterday? Actually?
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Yeah, my landlady made Christmas dinner and I had some
lasagna when I got home from work last night, and
it was delicious.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I should have invited you.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
You should have brought home a bunch of leftovers.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Oh I did not. Oh I did not.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Oh you're killing me. So what did you actually end
up eating? Fetichini offredo?
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Oh it's my favorite.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
No, no, no, don't get me wrong. I love Italian food,
but not on Christmas, got it.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
That's all. I'm all about the nostalgia.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
And I had no point of reference for fetichin elfredo
on December twenty.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Fifth New tradition. It was great. It was great. You know.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
I was almost to the point where when I woke
up this morning, I was willing to drive to find
like a Boston market they still have any open to
just get some Well, don't look at me like that
to all, I'll be dead serious. I needed some some turkey,
I needed some trippings.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
I needed some stuffing.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Would you go to like, uh, what is it called
honey bake, Andy baked?
Speaker 1 (08:37):
What is it called? Yeah, honey bake? Yeah, yeah, they
have it. Would you go there for like some ham?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
I would have gone anywhere, just so I could say
I had some traditional Christmas dinner. I know my sister's
phone is ringing right now. You should hear what your
brother says. Thankful, I'm on her side. Now Gelason's. Gelson's
has the whole turkey dinners. Oh that's right, it's delicious. Well,
how latest Gelson's open tonight?
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Is there one even near here?
Speaker 2 (09:04):
There is one because I used to well not here,
but there's one where I used to live in studio,
so yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, that's probably the closest. They
got rid of the Boston Market, which she used to
be right down.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
The street on Riverside. I think they're at this point. Well,
I don't know. I don't know if they close.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Some of them were clothes are yeah, because there was
one in her Dondo that's gone. I know they're gone.
This is a depressing Christmas. Let me tell you. Oh,
my sister's listening right now. Just text me, said, She says,
oops next year, She says, I hear you. She's listening.
(09:43):
That means my brother in law's listening. My mother's probably listening.
She's empathetic. They should excommunicate you for this. What's wrong
with them?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
That sounded like she felt bad. That's the wrong response
to this. Well, I know someone obviously had to have
called her. Well, I'm just being honest to scold you
for them. This is unacceptable. We want to take us
to break them too. Now you go right ahead.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Okay, But interesting that Stefan talked about traffic getting in
There is a good and not so good time to
drive during the holidays. We'll give it to you hour
by hour as far as the best time to drive
and the worst time to drive between Christmas and New
Year's that's next. This Later with mo Kelly k IF
I AM six forty. Sorry sis, we're live everywhere in
(10:30):
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty KFI.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Mister mo Kelly, We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app
and Mark William Ronner.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
All right.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Text messages from my sister during the break, Yeah, laughing, crying,
emoji swirling. She says, oops, next year, I hear you
talking to me. Then she goes on glad I could
add to the show. Thanks for the love from Mark,
so you got a shout out. Any rational person would
(11:07):
choose her side in this argument. I'm actually you know what,
I brought some leftover lasagna tonight. There's no no, no, no,
there's enough to share with you, and I'm willing double.
I am willing to share my double note.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
I don't don't look what am I gonna do two
days in a row. Wait a minute, you're gonna be
an ingrate. You're gonna refuse this? You bet your ass? Yeah,
that's so rude. That's we'll take it. Oh no, there's
a shot. Bring it to me, Bring it to me.
Can we just replay that that segment from the Conway
(11:41):
Show where you talk about eating like eight cups of
noodles instead?
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Yeah, I don't say I do that, Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Stephan was talking about traffic trying to get here at
least Christmas Eve, and I know Twala had a terrible
time with traffic yesterday on Christmas. As he was looking
for some semblance of dinner, I found a list of
the best and worst times to drive during the holidays,
and even though you may think, well, of course, some
(12:12):
of it is not all that obvious as far as
today was concerned. It's probably obvious because people are going
to stores trying to return stuff of those after Christmas
sales what have you. So it's probably worse today than
it would be the rest of the week. The worst
time to drive today was between noon and five pm. Duh,
(12:34):
When did I hit the freeway? Three seventeen? Okay, so
it was just gonna be a bad drive all the
way around. The best time to drive, and this goes
to Mark Runner's point, before eleven am. I'm not trying
to go anywhere before eleven am, not if I can
help it. It was different with my mother on Christmas Day,
but generally, if even if I'm working, I'm not trying
(12:56):
to leave the house go anywhere before eleven am.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
It's just against the rules.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
For tomorrow, the twenty seventh, I mean the twenty eighth,
the worst time they drive is between three and seven pm.
That's a little bit better. You were right twenty seven
What is today? The twenty six six? Okay, yeah, I
did that too. It's confusing.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
I am. Really yeah, I'm all out of sorts.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Okay, So the twenty seventh, the best time to drive
is between three and seven pm the worst time. The
best time to drive is before two pm. I can
swing that. I can swing if I need to run
an errand, I can swing it before two pm. For
the Saturday, the twenty eighth, let's say you want to
do some more shopping or you just want to fill
(13:40):
in your time with some leisure activities. The worst time
to drive on Saturday is between one point thirty and
seven pm. In other words, most of the day you're
not going to get a reprieve because let's say your
kids are out of school, or let's say you're off work,
it's going to be pretty average as far as traffic,
(14:00):
as in horrible.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
The best time to drive before two pm.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
And Sunday, the twenty ninth, the worst time to drive
is between twelve and six The best time to drive
before eleven am.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Well, I won't be going anywhere Sunday, no sir.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
And Monday the thirtieth, the worst time to drive is
between five and seven pm.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Pretty much wide open. On the thirtieth.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
You can do whatever you want, whenever you want. Wherever
you want and not have to worry about traffic to
a large degree, because the worst time is between five
and seven pm. If you can't get around five to
seven pm, then you're just an idiot. The very best
time to drive, though, is before two pm, so obviously
the earlier you can get out there. And my wife
is she swears by this. I want to get out
(14:50):
there before all the other idiots get out there. Yeah,
that's fine, but I'm not trying to go anywhere it's
seven eight in the morning. If I don't have to
outside of work, if I have to go somewhere, like
if I'm going to Spectrum and I have to be
there for an early hit, yeah that's fine. But outside
of that, no, not at all. Not going anywhere. And Talla,
how bad was traffic for you?
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Yesterday? It was damn bad. I didn't like it at all.
I'm thinking, people just people a supposed to be where
they're supposed to be.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
You're supposed to be where they're supposed to be enjoying
their Christmas dinner. No, yesterday it was bad and I
was surprised by it, I.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Really really was.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
I didn't hear anything on the radio. No one was saying,
you know, traffic was going to be bad now, so
I was caught.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Up in it. Did you at least get the meal
that you wanted, Yosha?
Speaker 3 (15:42):
NOI is never the million. That's never the mill you want.
That's the mill that you have to eat because there's
nothing else open. You don't go Yoshioya first, not even
that's never the first pick.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
That's like, ooh, what is open?
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Damn?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Just Yoshanoya. All right.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
I haven't had yoshi in it least twenty twenty five years.
I can taste the salt from here. See there you go.
Have you ever had Yoshanoya?
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Mark once?
Speaker 3 (16:10):
When I was desperate a few months ago, and I
haven't been back. Did they have it in Washington? I
don't think so. I went to the one in North Richard.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Yeah, it was a beef bowl, but it had to
have been late nineties. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
See yeah, Stefan, what's say you about Yoshanoyah?
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Yeah, same with the salt bomb?
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Oh my god, yes, but I'm kind of close, not
close to you, but I don't remember the last time
I had it has to be at least eight or
nine years. The only reason I mentioned that is because
they're still around. They outlived Boston Market. I don't know
how funny enough, the Boston Market that went out of
(16:50):
business in Redondook was taken over by a Yoshanoya.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
So there you go. How is it Yoshanoya still around
the Boston Market? Is not? It got good hours? Are
they all night? They're late?
Speaker 3 (17:04):
They might be because this place was open and it's
on Christmas Day and it wasn't early. This is around
five o'clock. By the time I found something that was
open where the lights were on, I'm like.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Is that a Is that? What's that that's open right there? Yesha, Noia.
It used to be that nothing was open on Christmas Day.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
I mean now you will get grocery stores that are
open for a limited time on Christmas Day. They're sometimes
open kind of late on Christmas Eve. You can find
some stuff if you don't wait too late until Christmas Day.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
But CVS was open. CVS was open to way late. Wait,
do they have food there? No, I'm just saying, I'm
just I was just surprised that they were open on
Christmas Day.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
But no CVS open.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Look, even the McDonald's across street from the Yoshinoya had
the good sense to be closed. I wouldn't have gone there,
but they were still closed, you know what I'm saying,
like the Yoshanoya. But again, Yosha Noya, you and your
staff there very very nice, and I appreciate you being
open because if.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Not for you all, I don't know what I would
have had.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Maybe some canned food from CVS, because that was the
only other option.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
I don't know if Denny's. I wonder if Denny's and
or ihop were open. No, they were not, really they
were not. I checked. I went on their menu. They
were closed close closed. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
I was the one by my by my house. I
was driving by and I'm like, are the lights off
at Denny's. I was really shocked by that. So the
only one that would be opened, like a restaurant like
that is probably Norms because literally they never closed.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
It's under their signage. Okay.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
I was the Norms on Imperial Highway, you know what
I'm talking about, between Western and Crenshaw Beliefs.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
So yeah, that one was open.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
You think it has to be because they I mean
the one by uh, the one on again on Hawthorne.
That one's closer to Torrents I know that one real well,
that one was open, and I've driven past it when
I used to do uber New Year's Eve, Christmas Christmas Day,
I'm driving through at three in the morning and I
see people in there Eden, so I know that they
(19:05):
hadn't been open. Okay, so we are all aware for
twenty twenty five. If Christmas should go left for whatever reason,
we got options other than you'll should.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Know you norms. Is it? Thank you? Foush, thank you? Oh?
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Absolutely no, yeah, because if you see under norms, it
literally says we never close. So there you go.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Well, that's good to know. In a pinch.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
When we come back, we got to tell you about
the new California driving laws which are going to take
effect in just days, and yes, they will impact you.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on Demand from
KFI Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
We're going to have to tell you about some new
California driving laws which are going to take effect in
just a few days. One or two of them we
told you about, but just wanted to remind you about
them and also inform you of others. We talked to
you about the daylighting log that was Assembly Bill four
thirteen that takes effect in twenty twenty five, and just
(20:07):
as a reminder, it bans drivers from parking within twenty
feet of a crosswalk. And this is to make intersections,
as it reads, supposedly say for four pedestrians. And I
was talking about how pedestrians don't even look when they're
stepping out into an intersection, so it really doesn't matter
where you're parking. The cars can't see them. They're not
(20:28):
looking for the cars. They're taking their lives into their
own hands. But here's the interesting part. The law applies
whether the crosswalk is marked red or totally unmarked, and
if it's.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Not painted red or not painted at all, it does
not matter.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
You are still, as the driver, obligated if you're going
to park to at least leave twenty feet of space
twenty feet and it's recommended that you leave even more
than twenty feet if you're driving a large suv. Obviously,
sightlined is different if you're approaching an suv which is
(21:10):
parked to the right, as opposed to a lower profile
of a regular car. And this is one which really
stunned me because I didn't know this. Did you know
about the locked door loophole. Locked door loophole where someone
can break him to your car and it will not
(21:33):
be defined as burglary if you, as the victim, cannot
prove that your.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Doors were locked.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
They could take everything out of your car, they could
take your catalytic converter.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
If I'm reading this correctly, and it's.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Not burglary unless you can prove that your doors were
locked and there was some form of forcible entry. Well,
Senate Bill nine zero five eliminates this locked door loophole
in the California Criminal Code, which, as I said, originally
defined burglary to include quote, entering a vehicle when the
(22:12):
doors are locked with the intent to commit grand or
pettit petty larceny or a felony close quote. And I
wonder what if someone broke into your car just to
sleep there because they needed a place to stay.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
What is that considered? Is that considered not considered breaking?
That entering? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
But now car owners and prosecutors won't have to prove
a car was locked, only that forcible entry occurred. And
here's something that I want to ask you, Mark Runner,
specifically you because you are delinquent.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Delinquent like I was, and you caught me sleeping in
your car? No, no, no, no, no, no forcible entry?
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Is it considered forcible entry since you did a crime beat?
Speaker 1 (22:59):
If so, No, one I don't.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Know used like those USB's to get into the kias
or to start those cars, or if they use a
code hangar back in the day to unlock the car.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Will that be considered forcible entry? That's a good question.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
And I was a cops beat reporter before everybody was
using those. My god, you made me feel ancient. Don't
ask me why I know what that is? Okay, yeah,
we I can't answer that question because I have I've
aged out of it.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Thank you for that. Oh so you've met you're old
like me? Now? Yeah, yeah, that's a happy, happy new year.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Well maybe we'll have to revisit that in the new year.
Oh we'll be dead. Why what's gonna happen? Is it armagain?
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Old age?
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Oh? Okay, that's good to know, natural causes? All right,
all right, I have something to look forward to. Did
you know about the no license required law? Job postings? Now,
I should say in twenty twenty five, won't be able
to require that applicants have a valid driver's license anymore.
Let's say hypothetically, you want to come working KFI and
(24:06):
KFI in the past, it's not real op. I'm saying hypothetically,
CAFI the past said sure you can come work for us,
but do you have a valid driver's license. They can't
do that anymore unless unless the job specifically is connected
to driving. That one irks me so much. You've dealt
(24:28):
with that, we all have, if you know what I mean. Oh,
I know what you mean.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Are you talking about employees who had no transportation exactly?
Speaker 2 (24:38):
And so I remember just being like, they need to
make that like explicit on the on the on the
job posting. And then when I heard this, I'm like,
oh boy, well.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
The employer would also need to reasonably believe that you
couldn't execute your job duties using an alternate four of transportation.
In other words, they can't exclude you for not having
a car or having a long commute and use the
pretense of a valid driver's license.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
I don't have a problem with forcing someone to prove
that they can be at work on time.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
But ask that question you can't. But that's different from saying, hey,
do you have reliable transportation. That's different from asking do
you have a valid driver license?
Speaker 3 (25:30):
I think put a shot collar on people. Is they
get them here on time? That's all I care about, right,
And some people is taking the bus. Some people it
might be catching a ride.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
But what I'm wondering is they can't because they can't
ask that just the same way that it can't be
proven until they're actually hired. And then what if they
end up not being able to make it in time, Well,
that's probably terms grounds for termination because you would have
lied on your application. I thought of it a different way.
If you're asked looking for a valid driver's license, and
(26:01):
let's say you have a DUI and you had a
suspended license or even a revoked license, what then you
know you're going to penalize the applicant because he or
she doesn't have a valid driver's license, which has nothing
to do with the job responsibilities. That would really piss
me off. But the slick way of excluding people. All
(26:22):
these things are about excluding people is to ask do
you have this? If you want to verify identity, you
can get that done any number of ways, including a
state ID card, but having a valid driver's license shouldn't
matter at all unless you're, like, I don't know, driving
a van or something or like, for example, talk about KFI.
Let's say you're driving as part of the Pro Bowl team,
you're driving one of our vans, and you're going out
(26:44):
to promotional gigs. That's completely different because you would have
to have a license check to be able to drive
in one of the vans here unless you just like
Mark and don't care, and you know, oh I care.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
But we had we had somebody here a while back
who Stephan alluded to, who didn't have reliable transportation, and
it became everyone's problem.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
It became everyone's problem.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
But it you know what, But that doesn't mean that
that person didn't have a valid driver's license.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
That person just didn't have transportation. Okay, And I don't know,
I don't.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
I never got the sense that that person wasn't allowed
to drive legally.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
We'll never know, thank goodness. Should we tell the story,
that's up to you. You're the host. Okay, host privilege. Okay,
there was an employee, Well, let's do it on the time.
Oh wait a minute, I was get ready, get gory.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Yeah, we already got him wound up. Let him go, okay,
what are you worried about the clock? It's it's the
day after Christmas.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Okay. Someone, there.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Was an employee who worked here long, long, long time ago,
long time ago. I've been here thirteen years, long time ago.
And this person did not have reliable transportation. And this
person was working a long long way away from the
station A long, long, long, long time ago. This person
took it upon his or herself to routinely, repeatedly, consistently
(28:17):
ask everybody for either a ride or some form of
transportation to a ride like he could be, to a
bus stop, to a train station, or to borrow money.
That was a long time ago. I don't know why
you brought that up, but that was such a long
time ago.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
This is my problem. You must have other friends who
don't drive, don't have cars, and they think that they're
they're cool or somehow helping the environment or otherwise enlightened.
Everybody else winds up picking up your slack. Everybody. Oh,
it's true.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
But the person who's trying to get the job, their
chief concern or maybe only concern, is getting that job,
and they probably tell themselves, I'll worry about that other
stuff as we go along. You know, I'm just trying
to get this job right now because I have to
take care of X, Y and Z. Me inconveniencing other
people is not a consideration when you are one step
(29:14):
away from getting a job that you need, even though
you live seventy miles away without a car.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Get one of those e bike things that they've been
talking about with the big discount for people below the
poverty line, Get a skateboard, get anything.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
I don't know if you can ride an e bike
seventy miles each way. I don't know if that's practical enough.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Leave early.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
It's later with mo Kelly if I am six forty
WeLive everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. We'll talk about the
general California laws that you can look forward to next year.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
In just a moment, you're listening to Later with Moe
Kelly on demand from KFI AM six forty, And.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
As we go through these new laws for twenty twenty five,
just know that these are just some ten of hundreds
which were passed here in California and or take effect
come January first. Just a few of them, but these
I think would have the most impact on your life
(30:12):
on a day to day or even a broader basis.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
So this is something which is important.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Despite all the laws which get passed, these are the
ones we think I'm going to talk to you or
impact you the most. Here you go, Mark Ronner, Deep
fakes and artificial intelligence, Everyone's favorite yep. SB nine twenty
six now makes it a crime to create and distribute
sexually explicit images of a real person that are artificially
(30:39):
generated but made to appear authentic, with the purpose of
causing that person emotional distress. So I can no longer
take your image or your likeness and put some other
artificially created body on you nude and then send it
around the internet. Can not do that anymore Legally, I.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Can't swap your identity with Ron Jeremy porn anymore. It's
I said, clamp down on this stuff. I think anything
that's generated by AI and is not real should be
clearly labeled. I think people have the right to know
what's real and what isn't. And the law has to
catch up with technology. We were just talking about the
you know your your fobs and bringing into cars.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
The law hadn't caught up with that yet either. It's
not going to catch up.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
I think this is just the first step of many
which are going to have to be taken, and they'll
forever be playing catch up because AI is going to
be used and abused in ways that we haven't even
thought of yet.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Oh it already is. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
There's SB ninety one regarding sexually explicit images, requires that
social media platforms establish a mechanism for users who are
California residents to report sexually explicit images that were created
or altered digitally but made to appear authentic. It's very
similar to SB nine twenty six, but this has to
(32:03):
do with social media companies specifically, and the social media
companies must take down the content while they investigate the complaint.
There's also AB eighteen thirty six and twenty six h
two regarding digital likeness, and it protects deceased actors and
performers from having their image, likeness, or voice reproduced without
(32:25):
authorization by artificial intelligence.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
So this would preclude to Walla.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Sharp or me using James Earl Jones's voice for some
sort of Star Wars project that we want to do.
And also the law requires consent from the actor's estate
before their likeness can be digitally replicated. Also in entertainment,
there's SB nine sixty nine regarding entertainment zones, and that
(32:54):
allows local governments to create entertainment zones where bars and
restaurants can sell alcohol that customers can drink on public
streets and sidewalks.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
I wonder how badly this is gonna go. I don't know.
I mean Miami, Vegas.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Okay, let me let me see this again. I wonder
how badly this is gonna go. No, you haven't seen
the people stumbling around drunk in Vegas and Miami.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Okay, fine, but it's all it is is increased police presence.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
That that doesn't stumbling.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
Around drunk with Bahama Mamas on you know, on Ventura
or Sunset. That just means that there will be increased
police presence.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Okay, we shall see. I'm quite sure we'll revisit that
in a year. But here's the one that we did
talk about on this show, and this is a game changer.
It's going to impact your life and our lives. The
cannabis cafes cannabis dispensaries will allow licensed cannabis retailers to
prepare and sell food and beverages.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
I don't know if that includes liquor.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Thinking out loud, I don't know if that includes liquor
at newly created cafes or lounges. That means customers can
buy and consume cannabis at the business while they eat
a meal or watch a live performance. I don't know
if there's any law precluding the sale of both cannabis
and alcohol in a single establishment now. And I say
(34:22):
that to say, well, if you're a bar, there's probably
there are a lot of hoops that you'd have to
jump through to sell cannabis. But it's probably a shorter
leap for a cannabis cafe to get a liquor license.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
Yeah, or for a cannabis say retailer to partner with
someone who wants to open a restaurant right next door
or a coffee shop, Yeah that has a staging area
in the back. This is going to take Starbucks for
a ride. Woo take that Howard Schultz game changer. Well,
(34:57):
I think he still gets I think he's fine. Now
at this point, you.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Think he can scrape by, Yeah, he'll be able to
scrape by. Look, Starbucks could fold tomorrow. He'll be okay,
and so will his great grandchildren. I know Mark, it's
not fair, but it's the truth. Let's do housing real quick.
I didn't know this. I didn't know that landlords were
engaging in the practice of charging tenants a fee if
(35:21):
they pay their rent or security deposit by check. SB
six to eleven will now prohibit landlords from doing that.
And on the other end, as far as evictions are concerned,
it doubles the current deadline that tenants have to respond
to an eviction notice to ten days. Previously it was five,
Now it's ten. Under California law, if a tenant does
(35:42):
not respond to an eviction notice within the required time,
they lose the case automatically. So having more time allows
tenants to consult with legal counsel if need be.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Yeah, but I think.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
The cannabis cafes are going to be the biggest one
oh one more, one more, And this is something that
we've all dealt with. There's ABE twenty seventeen and SB
ten seventy five regarding overdraft fees. It limits the overdraft
fees that banks and credit unions can charge.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
The new law will prohibit.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Financial institutions from charging a customer a fee for non
sufficient funds if the transaction was declined instantaneously, and starting
in twenty twenty six, credit unions would be prohibited from
charging an overdraft fee in excess of fourteen dollars. Look,
I'm not going to tell you which bank I used
to have, but that bank I used to have would
(36:40):
charge overdraft fees of thirty three dollars and they would
compound daily. Each day that you had a negative balance,
you get a fee for that.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
It's expensive to be poor, and that was quite a racket.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
Not only was it expensive, it made it criminal because
then you start going into the territory of criminal liability.
There's no way you're going to get yourself out of
that hole after a certain point. I had three hundred
dollars in overdraft fees at one point. And at this
point I'm just yelling and screaming and cursing at whoever
I can get on the phone. I think we've all
(37:16):
been there. And what could make more sense than oh,
you don't have any money. Here's a fee for not
having any money, which compounds daily. Each day that you
don't come up with the money, there's gonna be another
fee on top of that fee.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
Yeah, that's so dystopian. I don't even know how we
got this far with that existing and more people not well,
I want to be careful what I say.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
I understand. I'm surprised that more people didn't respond. There
we go, thank you. It's later with Mo Kelly k
if I AIM six forty. We are live everywhere in
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (37:48):
What you need to know and when you need to
overk F I'm the kost Ehd two.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
Los Angeles, Orange County, Live everywhere on the Art Radio
app
If I'm o Kelly. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
And I'm proud to say I made it by the
skin of my teeth. I made it through Christmas, and
I hope your Christmas or Honkah. The first night of
Honicah was wonderful. Tonight it's the second night of Hanakah.
Mark Runner, let me just say, first belated Merry Christmas.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
And same to you, Marris William He's got to pull
out the government name. I'm seeking common ground here.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
We pulled Mars.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Yes, Yes, was anything special or worth highlighting about your
day yesterday?
Speaker 3 (00:58):
I had the honor of working last night. Well, that's
not special in radio. You were sorely miss here. I
felt like the Maytag repair man here with Fosh.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Look you talk about Maytag repair man when I came
in tonight. Just for example, if you don't know, we
have all these motion sensors for detect movement in the
building or aren't any given floor, And if you don't
move for about fifteen twenty minutes at a time, all
the lights go out. It's a real pain in the
ass when you're sitting working at your desk. But anyhow,
(01:28):
I come in today. I want to say, it's maybe
four o'clock or so.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
The building is dark.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
There's not a light which has been initiated activated anywhere
on the floor. Nothing is going on on this floor,
with the exception of Stephan, who's working in an air mix.
Good evening, Stephan, But that means he hadn't walked he
hadn't walked down those halls for a good long time.
There was no one here, nobody here. It made me
(01:57):
just want to turn around and go home. It's like,
why am I Why am I here? And I remember, oh, yeah,
I got a show to do because the people need us. Yes,
that's why we're here, for the love of the job
and love of everyone listening. And then Taula came in
like two hours later and he said, why am I here?
The lights are off. It just seemed like no one
(02:18):
was here. We went up to the fifth floor, which
was the music radio floor. Nobody there except the cleaning crew.
There's literally no one in the building with exception of
us church mice.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
It's like an old zombie movie. We own the place,
there's nobody else alive, or the Omega man something like that.
You know how those movies ended, right, well, I wasn't
prepared to take it all the way to the logical conclusion.
There will be no cannibalism tonight. If I have anything
to say about it, all I can say is this
show I want to say, predicted and doomed my Christmas.
(02:54):
I feel I can tell all of you the truth.
No secrets here, no secrets here.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Remember, we had the conversation prior to Christmas about what
we needed in a Christmas meal, what we expected, what
we hoped for, And I.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Said I was a traditionalist.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yes, okay, my Christmas started off reasonable enough.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
I didn't have to get up real early.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
I got to lay in bed and sort of just
scratch and play with the dogs. Didn't have to do
anything much. Okay, give yourself a Dutch oven. Yeah, okay.
Then I got up wife. We went over to my
mother's house and had like an early Christmas breakfast with her,
or early for me.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
We got there like.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Ten thirty or so, all right, am, yeah, oh god, yeah,
it's hard for me to sleep past maybe six thirty
seven o'clock.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Okay, yeah, come home. No one has told me anything. Okay,
no one has told me anything. Come back home, take
a nice nap. Go to my and all this is
true story. I go to my sister's house for Christmas dinner.
So we had a number of families coming over to
her house for Christmas dinner. I'm quite sure someone's calling
her right now. Unbeknownst to me, because I'm busier than most,
(04:09):
my sister has sit out an invitation RSVP, so she'd
know how many people were coming.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
I didn't read the fine print. I didn't.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I'm not going to RSVP to my sister's house. I'm
just not okay. But the fine print said Italian style Christmas. Oh,
I would be one hundred percent down with that garlic bread, spaghetti, fetichini,
alfredo lasagna.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
What's not to love? Did you not hear the conversation
we had on this show recently, Yeah, well my half
of it.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I wasn't paying attention to your alf In my half,
I grew up with Italian people, and that's what we
had for Christmas dinner.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I had expectations that were not met. I was looking
for the turkey. I was looking for the grave y.
I was looking for even the yams a sweet potato
pie afterward. I was looking for all the traditional trimmings,
looking for the stuffing I was looking for all those things.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
You know how much I got of those things?
Speaker 3 (05:12):
I hope zero? Because this whining of yours is really distasting.
Would I be whining if I got any of that?
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Well?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
I got none of that, mark, I got none of that.
I felt like I jinxed myself. I got nothing of
what I was looking for. Are you no, you need?
You need the body drop? Because when I walked in
and I saw that stuff, and I just about dropped?
Okay kidding me? Are you familar with the phrase pearls
before his swine?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
I am, because I read the Bible and no, and
Moe actually had had it very good. Okay, because I
messed up and the place that I ordered my food
from that on their menu and on their website said
we are open. I put my order in only to
show to the restaurant to find out that they were
(05:57):
actually closed.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
So I ended up having yoshinoya.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Okay, all right, So.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
We should point out that for Fush and I, Tula
was our Christmas angel.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
He brought us in and out. You brought them in
and out. I did. I thought you just ordered it.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
I brought it up because Christmas Eve man, the crew
is here sitting eating. I'm like, you know what, I'm
in the area. I know for a fact they're hungry,
but let me check. I texted. I don't even think
my text finished sending. Have you guys finished eating? And
fush eating me back?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (06:31):
God, yes, we are hungry. I'm like, all right, it
was a Christmas miracle with cheese fries.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
It was good.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
So Stephan, tell us about your Christmas. I was also
part of the two man crew here. Yeah, but this
Christmas is like an all day type of observants. You
were working for what like four to ten, the three
to ten, three to ten, Okay, so what did you
do from nine am to three pm and two am? Honestly, well,
(07:02):
I slept in because I didn't have to do any
like outside work, and then I kind of prepared for
Conway Show a little bit, and then basically just drove
in because I was shocked at how much traffic there
was on Christmas. There was a lot There's a lot
of traffic on Christmas Eve, and there was a lot
of traffic on Christmas Day. Because I was like, oh,
maybe I can leave it like two thirty today, and
(07:24):
I looked at the time at like one five, and
it was like, yeah, you'll get there in like fifty
five minutes. I'm like, oh jeez, okay, yeah, no, no
lake time for me and Mark.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
You had Italian food yesterday? Actually?
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Yeah, my landlady made Christmas dinner and I had some
lasagna when I got home from work last night, and
it was delicious.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I should have invited you.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
You should have brought home a bunch of leftovers.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Oh I did not. Oh I did not.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Oh you're killing me. So what did you actually end
up eating? Fetichini offredo?
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Oh it's my favorite.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
No, no, no, don't get me wrong. I love Italian food,
but not on Christmas, got it.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
That's all. I'm all about the nostalgia.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
And I had no point of reference for fetichin elfredo
on December twenty.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Fifth New tradition. It was great. It was great. You know.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
I was almost to the point where when I woke
up this morning, I was willing to drive to find
like a Boston market they still have any open to
just get some Well, don't look at me like that
to all, I'll be dead serious. I needed some some turkey,
I needed some trippings.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
I needed some stuffing.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Would you go to like, uh, what is it called
honey bake, Andy baked?
Speaker 1 (08:37):
What is it called? Yeah, honey bake? Yeah, yeah, they
have it. Would you go there for like some ham?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
I would have gone anywhere, just so I could say
I had some traditional Christmas dinner. I know my sister's
phone is ringing right now. You should hear what your
brother says. Thankful, I'm on her side. Now Gelason's. Gelson's
has the whole turkey dinners. Oh that's right, it's delicious. Well,
how latest Gelson's open tonight?
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Is there one even near here?
Speaker 2 (09:04):
There is one because I used to well not here,
but there's one where I used to live in studio,
so yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, that's probably the closest. They
got rid of the Boston Market, which she used to
be right down.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
The street on Riverside. I think they're at this point. Well,
I don't know. I don't know if they close.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Some of them were clothes are yeah, because there was
one in her Dondo that's gone. I know they're gone.
This is a depressing Christmas. Let me tell you. Oh,
my sister's listening right now. Just text me, said, She says,
oops next year, She says, I hear you. She's listening.
(09:43):
That means my brother in law's listening. My mother's probably listening.
She's empathetic. They should excommunicate you for this. What's wrong
with them?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
That sounded like she felt bad. That's the wrong response
to this. Well, I know someone obviously had to have
called her. Well, I'm just being honest to scold you
for them. This is unacceptable. We want to take us
to break them too. Now you go right ahead.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Okay, But interesting that Stefan talked about traffic getting in
There is a good and not so good time to
drive during the holidays. We'll give it to you hour
by hour as far as the best time to drive
and the worst time to drive between Christmas and New
Year's that's next. This Later with mo Kelly k IF
I AM six forty. Sorry sis, we're live everywhere in

emoji swirling. She says, oops, next year, I hear you

(11:07):
choose her side in this argument. I'm actually you know what,
I brought some leftover lasagna tonight. There's no no, no, no,
there's enough to share with you, and I'm willing double.
I am willing to share my double note.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
I don't don't look what am I gonna do two
days in a row. Wait a minute, you're gonna be
an ingrate. You're gonna refuse this? You bet your ass? Yeah,
that's so rude. That's we'll take it. Oh no, there's
a shot. Bring it to me, Bring it to me.
Can we just replay that that segment from the Conway
(11:41):
Show where you talk about eating like eight cups of
noodles instead?
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Yeah, I don't say I do that, Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Stephan was talking about traffic trying to get here at
least Christmas Eve, and I know Twala had a terrible
time with traffic yesterday on Christmas. As he was looking
for some semblance of dinner, I found a list of
the best and worst times to drive during the holidays,
and even though you may think, well, of course, some
(12:12):
of it is not all that obvious as far as
today was concerned. It's probably obvious because people are going
to stores trying to return stuff of those after Christmas
sales what have you. So it's probably worse today than
it would be the rest of the week. The worst
time to drive today was between noon and five pm. Duh,
(12:34):
When did I hit the freeway? Three seventeen? Okay, so
it was just gonna be a bad drive all the
way around. The best time to drive, and this goes
to Mark Runner's point, before eleven am. I'm not trying
to go anywhere before eleven am, not if I can
help it. It was different with my mother on Christmas Day,
but generally, if even if I'm working, I'm not trying
(12:56):
to leave the house go anywhere before eleven am.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
It's just against the rules.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
For tomorrow, the twenty seventh, I mean the twenty eighth,
the worst time they drive is between three and seven pm.
That's a little bit better. You were right twenty seven
What is today? The twenty six six? Okay, yeah, I
did that too. It's confusing.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
I am. Really yeah, I'm all out of sorts.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Okay, So the twenty seventh, the best time to drive
is between three and seven pm the worst time. The
best time to drive is before two pm. I can
swing that. I can swing if I need to run
an errand, I can swing it before two pm. For
the Saturday, the twenty eighth, let's say you want to
do some more shopping or you just want to fill
(13:40):
in your time with some leisure activities. The worst time
to drive on Saturday is between one point thirty and
seven pm. In other words, most of the day you're
not going to get a reprieve because let's say your
kids are out of school, or let's say you're off work,
it's going to be pretty average as far as traffic,
(14:00):
as in horrible.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
The best time to drive before two pm.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
And Sunday, the twenty ninth, the worst time to drive
is between twelve and six The best time to drive
before eleven am.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Well, I won't be going anywhere Sunday, no sir.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
And Monday the thirtieth, the worst time to drive is
between five and seven pm.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Pretty much wide open. On the thirtieth.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
You can do whatever you want, whenever you want. Wherever
you want and not have to worry about traffic to
a large degree, because the worst time is between five
and seven pm. If you can't get around five to
seven pm, then you're just an idiot. The very best
time to drive, though, is before two pm, so obviously
the earlier you can get out there. And my wife
is she swears by this. I want to get out
(14:50):
there before all the other idiots get out there. Yeah,
that's fine, but I'm not trying to go anywhere it's
seven eight in the morning. If I don't have to
outside of work, if I have to go somewhere, like
if I'm going to Spectrum and I have to be
there for an early hit, yeah that's fine. But outside
of that, no, not at all. Not going anywhere. And Talla,
how bad was traffic for you?
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Yesterday? It was damn bad. I didn't like it at all.
I'm thinking, people just people a supposed to be where
they're supposed to be.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
You're supposed to be where they're supposed to be enjoying
their Christmas dinner. No, yesterday it was bad and I
was surprised by it, I.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Really really was.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
I didn't hear anything on the radio. No one was saying,
you know, traffic was going to be bad now, so
I was caught.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Up in it. Did you at least get the meal
that you wanted, Yosha?
Speaker 3 (15:42):
NOI is never the million. That's never the mill you want.
That's the mill that you have to eat because there's
nothing else open. You don't go Yoshioya first, not even
that's never the first pick.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
That's like, ooh, what is open?
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Damn?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Just Yoshanoya. All right.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
I haven't had yoshi in it least twenty twenty five years.
I can taste the salt from here. See there you go.
Have you ever had Yoshanoya?
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Mark once?
Speaker 3 (16:10):
When I was desperate a few months ago, and I
haven't been back. Did they have it in Washington? I
don't think so. I went to the one in North Richard.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Yeah, it was a beef bowl, but it had to
have been late nineties. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
See yeah, Stefan, what's say you about Yoshanoyah?
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Yeah, same with the salt bomb?
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Oh my god, yes, but I'm kind of close, not
close to you, but I don't remember the last time
I had it has to be at least eight or
nine years. The only reason I mentioned that is because
they're still around. They outlived Boston Market. I don't know
how funny enough, the Boston Market that went out of
(16:50):
business in Redondook was taken over by a Yoshanoya.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
So there you go. How is it Yoshanoya still around
the Boston Market? Is not? It got good hours? Are
they all night? They're late?
Speaker 3 (17:04):
They might be because this place was open and it's
on Christmas Day and it wasn't early. This is around
five o'clock. By the time I found something that was
open where the lights were on, I'm like.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Is that a Is that? What's that that's open right there? Yesha, Noia.
It used to be that nothing was open on Christmas Day.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
I mean now you will get grocery stores that are
open for a limited time on Christmas Day. They're sometimes
open kind of late on Christmas Eve. You can find
some stuff if you don't wait too late until Christmas Day.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
But CVS was open. CVS was open to way late. Wait,
do they have food there? No, I'm just saying, I'm
just I was just surprised that they were open on
Christmas Day.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
But no CVS open.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Look, even the McDonald's across street from the Yoshinoya had
the good sense to be closed. I wouldn't have gone there,
but they were still closed, you know what I'm saying,
like the Yoshanoya. But again, Yosha Noya, you and your
staff there very very nice, and I appreciate you being
open because if.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Not for you all, I don't know what I would
have had.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Maybe some canned food from CVS, because that was the
only other option.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
I don't know if Denny's. I wonder if Denny's and
or ihop were open. No, they were not, really they
were not. I checked. I went on their menu. They
were closed close closed. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
I was the one by my by my house. I
was driving by and I'm like, are the lights off
at Denny's. I was really shocked by that. So the
only one that would be opened, like a restaurant like
that is probably Norms because literally they never closed.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
It's under their signage. Okay.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
I was the Norms on Imperial Highway, you know what
I'm talking about, between Western and Crenshaw Beliefs.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
So yeah, that one was open.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
You think it has to be because they I mean
the one by uh, the one on again on Hawthorne.
That one's closer to Torrents I know that one real well,
that one was open, and I've driven past it when
I used to do uber New Year's Eve, Christmas Christmas Day,
I'm driving through at three in the morning and I
see people in there Eden, so I know that they
(19:05):
hadn't been open. Okay, so we are all aware for
twenty twenty five. If Christmas should go left for whatever reason,
we got options other than you'll should.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Know you norms. Is it? Thank you? Foush, thank you? Oh?
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Absolutely no, yeah, because if you see under norms, it
literally says we never close. So there you go.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Well, that's good to know. In a pinch.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
When we come back, we got to tell you about
the new California driving laws which are going to take
effect in just days, and yes, they will impact you.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on Demand from
KFI Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
We're going to have to tell you about some new
California driving laws which are going to take effect in
just a few days. One or two of them we
told you about, but just wanted to remind you about
them and also inform you of others. We talked to
you about the daylighting log that was Assembly Bill four
thirteen that takes effect in twenty twenty five, and just
(20:07):
as a reminder, it bans drivers from parking within twenty
feet of a crosswalk. And this is to make intersections,
as it reads, supposedly say for four pedestrians. And I
was talking about how pedestrians don't even look when they're
stepping out into an intersection, so it really doesn't matter
where you're parking. The cars can't see them. They're not
(20:28):
looking for the cars. They're taking their lives into their
own hands. But here's the interesting part. The law applies
whether the crosswalk is marked red or totally unmarked, and
if it's.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Not painted red or not painted at all, it does
not matter.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
You are still, as the driver, obligated if you're going
to park to at least leave twenty feet of space
twenty feet and it's recommended that you leave even more
than twenty feet if you're driving a large suv. Obviously,
sightlined is different if you're approaching an suv which is
(21:10):
parked to the right, as opposed to a lower profile
of a regular car. And this is one which really
stunned me because I didn't know this. Did you know
about the locked door loophole. Locked door loophole where someone
can break him to your car and it will not
(21:33):
be defined as burglary if you, as the victim, cannot
prove that your.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Doors were locked.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
They could take everything out of your car, they could
take your catalytic converter.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
If I'm reading this correctly, and it's.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Not burglary unless you can prove that your doors were
locked and there was some form of forcible entry. Well,
Senate Bill nine zero five eliminates this locked door loophole
in the California Criminal Code, which, as I said, originally
defined burglary to include quote, entering a vehicle when the
(22:12):
doors are locked with the intent to commit grand or
pettit petty larceny or a felony close quote. And I
wonder what if someone broke into your car just to
sleep there because they needed a place to stay.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
What is that considered? Is that considered not considered breaking?
That entering? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
But now car owners and prosecutors won't have to prove
a car was locked, only that forcible entry occurred. And
here's something that I want to ask you, Mark Runner,
specifically you because you are delinquent.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Delinquent like I was, and you caught me sleeping in
your car? No, no, no, no, no, no forcible entry?
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Is it considered forcible entry since you did a crime beat?
Speaker 1 (22:59):
If so, No, one I don't.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Know used like those USB's to get into the kias
or to start those cars, or if they use a
code hangar back in the day to unlock the car.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Will that be considered forcible entry? That's a good question.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
And I was a cops beat reporter before everybody was
using those. My god, you made me feel ancient. Don't
ask me why I know what that is? Okay, yeah,
we I can't answer that question because I have I've
aged out of it.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Thank you for that. Oh so you've met you're old
like me? Now? Yeah, yeah, that's a happy, happy new year.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Well maybe we'll have to revisit that in the new year.
Oh we'll be dead. Why what's gonna happen? Is it armagain?
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Old age?
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Oh? Okay, that's good to know, natural causes? All right,
all right, I have something to look forward to. Did
you know about the no license required law? Job postings? Now,
I should say in twenty twenty five, won't be able
to require that applicants have a valid driver's license anymore.
Let's say hypothetically, you want to come working KFI and
(24:06):
KFI in the past, it's not real op. I'm saying hypothetically,
CAFI the past said sure you can come work for us,
but do you have a valid driver's license. They can't
do that anymore unless unless the job specifically is connected
to driving. That one irks me so much. You've dealt
(24:28):
with that, we all have, if you know what I mean. Oh,
I know what you mean.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Are you talking about employees who had no transportation exactly?
Speaker 2 (24:38):
And so I remember just being like, they need to
make that like explicit on the on the on the
job posting. And then when I heard this, I'm like,
oh boy, well.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
The employer would also need to reasonably believe that you
couldn't execute your job duties using an alternate four of transportation.
In other words, they can't exclude you for not having
a car or having a long commute and use the
pretense of a valid driver's license.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
I don't have a problem with forcing someone to prove
that they can be at work on time.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
But ask that question you can't. But that's different from saying, hey,
do you have reliable transportation. That's different from asking do
you have a valid driver license?
Speaker 3 (25:30):
I think put a shot collar on people. Is they
get them here on time? That's all I care about, right,
And some people is taking the bus. Some people it
might be catching a ride.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
But what I'm wondering is they can't because they can't
ask that just the same way that it can't be
proven until they're actually hired. And then what if they
end up not being able to make it in time, Well,
that's probably terms grounds for termination because you would have
lied on your application. I thought of it a different way.
If you're asked looking for a valid driver's license, and
(26:01):
let's say you have a DUI and you had a
suspended license or even a revoked license, what then you
know you're going to penalize the applicant because he or
she doesn't have a valid driver's license, which has nothing
to do with the job responsibilities. That would really piss
me off. But the slick way of excluding people. All
(26:22):
these things are about excluding people is to ask do
you have this? If you want to verify identity, you
can get that done any number of ways, including a
state ID card, but having a valid driver's license shouldn't
matter at all unless you're, like, I don't know, driving
a van or something or like, for example, talk about KFI.
Let's say you're driving as part of the Pro Bowl team,
you're driving one of our vans, and you're going out
(26:44):
to promotional gigs. That's completely different because you would have
to have a license check to be able to drive
in one of the vans here unless you just like
Mark and don't care, and you know, oh I care.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
But we had we had somebody here a while back
who Stephan alluded to, who didn't have reliable transportation, and
it became everyone's problem.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
It became everyone's problem.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
But it you know what, But that doesn't mean that
that person didn't have a valid driver's license.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
That person just didn't have transportation. Okay, And I don't know,
I don't.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
I never got the sense that that person wasn't allowed
to drive legally.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
We'll never know, thank goodness. Should we tell the story,
that's up to you. You're the host. Okay, host privilege. Okay,
there was an employee, Well, let's do it on the time.
Oh wait a minute, I was get ready, get gory.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Yeah, we already got him wound up. Let him go, okay,
what are you worried about the clock? It's it's the
day after Christmas.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Okay. Someone, there.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Was an employee who worked here long, long, long time ago,
long time ago. I've been here thirteen years, long time ago.
And this person did not have reliable transportation. And this
person was working a long long way away from the
station A long, long, long, long time ago. This person
took it upon his or herself to routinely, repeatedly, consistently
(28:17):
ask everybody for either a ride or some form of
transportation to a ride like he could be, to a
bus stop, to a train station, or to borrow money.
That was a long time ago. I don't know why
you brought that up, but that was such a long
time ago.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
This is my problem. You must have other friends who
don't drive, don't have cars, and they think that they're
they're cool or somehow helping the environment or otherwise enlightened.
Everybody else winds up picking up your slack. Everybody. Oh,
it's true.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
But the person who's trying to get the job, their
chief concern or maybe only concern, is getting that job,
and they probably tell themselves, I'll worry about that other
stuff as we go along. You know, I'm just trying
to get this job right now because I have to
take care of X, Y and Z. Me inconveniencing other
people is not a consideration when you are one step
(29:14):
away from getting a job that you need, even though
you live seventy miles away without a car.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Get one of those e bike things that they've been
talking about with the big discount for people below the
poverty line, Get a skateboard, get anything.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
I don't know if you can ride an e bike
seventy miles each way. I don't know if that's practical enough.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Leave early.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
It's later with mo Kelly if I am six forty
WeLive everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. We'll talk about the
general California laws that you can look forward to next year.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
In just a moment, you're listening to Later with Moe
Kelly on demand from KFI AM six forty, And.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
As we go through these new laws for twenty twenty five,
just know that these are just some ten of hundreds
which were passed here in California and or take effect
come January first. Just a few of them, but these
I think would have the most impact on your life
(30:12):
on a day to day or even a broader basis.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
So this is something which is important.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Despite all the laws which get passed, these are the
ones we think I'm going to talk to you or
impact you the most. Here you go, Mark Ronner, Deep
fakes and artificial intelligence, Everyone's favorite yep. SB nine twenty
six now makes it a crime to create and distribute
sexually explicit images of a real person that are artificially
(30:39):
generated but made to appear authentic, with the purpose of
causing that person emotional distress. So I can no longer
take your image or your likeness and put some other
artificially created body on you nude and then send it
around the internet. Can not do that anymore Legally, I.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Can't swap your identity with Ron Jeremy porn anymore. It's
I said, clamp down on this stuff. I think anything
that's generated by AI and is not real should be
clearly labeled. I think people have the right to know
what's real and what isn't. And the law has to
catch up with technology. We were just talking about the
you know your your fobs and bringing into cars.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
The law hadn't caught up with that yet either. It's
not going to catch up.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
I think this is just the first step of many
which are going to have to be taken, and they'll
forever be playing catch up because AI is going to
be used and abused in ways that we haven't even
thought of yet.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Oh it already is. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
There's SB ninety one regarding sexually explicit images, requires that
social media platforms establish a mechanism for users who are
California residents to report sexually explicit images that were created
or altered digitally but made to appear authentic. It's very
similar to SB nine twenty six, but this has to
(32:03):
do with social media companies specifically, and the social media
companies must take down the content while they investigate the complaint.
There's also AB eighteen thirty six and twenty six h
two regarding digital likeness, and it protects deceased actors and
performers from having their image, likeness, or voice reproduced without
(32:25):
authorization by artificial intelligence.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
So this would preclude to Walla.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Sharp or me using James Earl Jones's voice for some
sort of Star Wars project that we want to do.
And also the law requires consent from the actor's estate
before their likeness can be digitally replicated. Also in entertainment,
there's SB nine sixty nine regarding entertainment zones, and that
(32:54):
allows local governments to create entertainment zones where bars and
restaurants can sell alcohol that customers can drink on public
streets and sidewalks.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
I wonder how badly this is gonna go. I don't know.
I mean Miami, Vegas.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Okay, let me let me see this again. I wonder
how badly this is gonna go. No, you haven't seen
the people stumbling around drunk in Vegas and Miami.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Okay, fine, but it's all it is is increased police presence.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
That that doesn't stumbling.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
Around drunk with Bahama Mamas on you know, on Ventura
or Sunset. That just means that there will be increased
police presence.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Okay, we shall see. I'm quite sure we'll revisit that
in a year. But here's the one that we did
talk about on this show, and this is a game changer.
It's going to impact your life and our lives. The
cannabis cafes cannabis dispensaries will allow licensed cannabis retailers to
prepare and sell food and beverages.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
I don't know if that includes liquor.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Thinking out loud, I don't know if that includes liquor
at newly created cafes or lounges. That means customers can
buy and consume cannabis at the business while they eat
a meal or watch a live performance. I don't know
if there's any law precluding the sale of both cannabis
and alcohol in a single establishment now. And I say
(34:22):
that to say, well, if you're a bar, there's probably
there are a lot of hoops that you'd have to
jump through to sell cannabis. But it's probably a shorter
leap for a cannabis cafe to get a liquor license.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
Yeah, or for a cannabis say retailer to partner with
someone who wants to open a restaurant right next door
or a coffee shop, Yeah that has a staging area
in the back. This is going to take Starbucks for
a ride. Woo take that Howard Schultz game changer. Well,
(34:57):
I think he still gets I think he's fine. Now
at this point, you.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Think he can scrape by, Yeah, he'll be able to
scrape by. Look, Starbucks could fold tomorrow. He'll be okay,
and so will his great grandchildren. I know Mark, it's
not fair, but it's the truth. Let's do housing real quick.
I didn't know this. I didn't know that landlords were
engaging in the practice of charging tenants a fee if
(35:21):
they pay their rent or security deposit by check. SB
six to eleven will now prohibit landlords from doing that.
And on the other end, as far as evictions are concerned,
it doubles the current deadline that tenants have to respond
to an eviction notice to ten days. Previously it was five,
Now it's ten. Under California law, if a tenant does
(35:42):
not respond to an eviction notice within the required time,
they lose the case automatically. So having more time allows
tenants to consult with legal counsel if need be.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Yeah, but I think.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
The cannabis cafes are going to be the biggest one
oh one more, one more, And this is something that
we've all dealt with. There's ABE twenty seventeen and SB
ten seventy five regarding overdraft fees. It limits the overdraft
fees that banks and credit unions can charge.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
The new law will prohibit.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Financial institutions from charging a customer a fee for non
sufficient funds if the transaction was declined instantaneously, and starting
in twenty twenty six, credit unions would be prohibited from
charging an overdraft fee in excess of fourteen dollars. Look,
I'm not going to tell you which bank I used
to have, but that bank I used to have would
(36:40):
charge overdraft fees of thirty three dollars and they would
compound daily. Each day that you had a negative balance,
you get a fee for that.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
It's expensive to be poor, and that was quite a racket.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
Not only was it expensive, it made it criminal because
then you start going into the territory of criminal liability.
There's no way you're going to get yourself out of
that hole after a certain point. I had three hundred
dollars in overdraft fees at one point. And at this
