Speaker 1 (00:22):
I am six forties Happy Monday. Here on Later with
Mo Kelly. We're live on YouTube. iHeartRadio app. I guess Facebook.
They don't tell me anymore. I just say we're live
everywhere and just leave it at that. Assume we are
live on your social media page some where.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
I'm in a pretty good mood today. I'm in a
pretty good mood.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Not a bad start to the Monday. It's not great news,
but it's not bad news. Got a note today from
the PR agency representing Eddie Murphy said that we're still
in the running to all.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
You saw the email.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
If forwarded to you, I did, indeed, So it's not
a direct yes, but it's absolutely.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Not a no.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
It's actually a you are still in consideration and when
something becomes available an opportunity, we will let you know.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
So that's very promising.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
And if you know anything about the business behind the scenes,
all press requests have to be run by the talent,
especially when you're talking about some of the level of
Eddie Murphy. He's not going to speak to anyone he
doesn't want to speak to, if he doesn't want to
speak to Extra, if he doesn't want to speak to
Yahoo News, if he doesn't want to speak to entertainment
tonight or e.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
It won't happen. It's just that simple. So it's going
to be up to him.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
And I know that Amazon Prime has been taking a
look at us because they're not going to consider us otherwise.
I always say it's easier to say no. It is,
trust me, it is easier this business to just say
no and get people out of their hair and not
give them false hope. So that's just been my experience.
Give because a couple of people had asked me online, like,
(02:02):
so what's up with Eddie Murphy. Look, it's out of
our control. You know, when I know something, you do something.
So I got an email today from the PR agency
handling the press for The Pickup, which is his new movie,
which is coming out August sixth on Amazon Prime.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
You know it's interesting is when I was trying to
get Eddie Murphy on for the last Beverly Hills Cop,
Netflix was actually very quick with their no. They were like, yes,
thank you for your request. We are sorry, unfortunate at
this time we're not doing any media. That's what we
were told. We saw him doing some media, but still
(02:40):
it was television. It wasn't radio, so we had to
kind of take that, you know, like, all right, cool.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
It's hard.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
It's hard when you're a radio outlet tried to get
movie and television personalities. I don't think people realize the
amount of work which goes into it to build those relationships.
So they will take you seriously because I know it's
not sexy when you say AM radio to a movie
and television star.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
It's not.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Now, there's a video component, there's social media. There's obviously
the iHeartRadio app, which enhances it. But at the same time,
not everyone is savvy about am its reach, the reach
of this particular station, and also how it has moved
into the twenty first century in ways that other media
(03:25):
has not.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
So that is the update.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
We were told that we're still in the running, and
you know, they'll reach back up out to us.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
I'll mean, the bad news is kind of like, don't
call us.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
We'll call you, but we have your number and we
are look still looking at you.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
So you know, try to keep it positive. And I
know they're listening right now. So yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Oh, and also we're going to talk about how California
has launched this new weather tracking system to rank the
severity of extreme heat. You know how we have like
small alerts back in the day. I guess it's something
like that. We'll tell you about that. And it stands
to be a very very hot summer, so you definitely
want to take a note of that. And I have
my own personal Waymo story I'm going to tell you
(04:10):
about today, and the only reason I didn't actually tape
it was because I was driving, and that would have
been that would have been worse for me to get
into an accident while trying to film a Waymo. Okay,
I'm trying to be safe, but I have a first
hand story about a Waymo who did something or witch
did something very dangerous and almost caused a major accident
(04:32):
in Inglewood. And also Weimo was caught up in a shooting.
Someone got shot in a Weymo. I'm not gonna blame
that on Weymbo. I'm just saying it seems like wherever
Weymo goes, trouble follows.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Okay, okay, okay, okay, easy.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Hey did you hear Volkswagen has unveiled it's ROBOTAXI designed
the challenge Weimo right here in LA and so within
the next year, we'll have more competition in the robotaxi
autonomous vehicle market. And I was just missioning early about
this new weather tracking system to rank the severity of
the heat, and I mentioned SMAG alerts. I wonder where
(05:06):
California ranks right now among the states for lung health,
because I remember, Mark, you weren't living here. First good evening, Mark,
you weren't living here in California back in the late
nineteen seventies.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
I don't think, no, I wasn't. It was so bad.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
You would just see this brown haze hovering over downtown
and you would play in the summers like this, go
outside and play, and your chest would start hurting just
from breathing in the smog all day.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Well, I was a small kid here in the years
before that kind of like I guess it would be
the early seventies, and I remember having like wheezing, gasping
fits and we couldn't figure out what was wrong with me.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Absolutely, California had some of the worst air quality back
in the late nineteen seventies, and I wonder now, many
years later, whether it's had a long term impact. I've
never smoked, so I at least had that going for me,
But I always wondered about the long term implications of
that bad air quality we had here in southern California.
So we're going to tell you about the top states
(06:05):
for lung health according to a new study. And for
those who don't know, last week we did a short,
well nice short segment, but we had some fun talking
about the Craft All Stars, Sid Marty Croft All Stars,
playing some of the themes and everything hed. We got
a nice follow from Sid Croft today on social media.
(06:27):
Really yeah, true, sorry, pretty cool, true story. So you know,
you never know who's listening. You never know. And speaking
of you never know who's listening. Saw this story today
twy I don't know if you saw it five times
that Tom Cruise deserved to win an Oscar according to
the story. I'm seeing more and more stories about Tom
Cruise being actively considered for an acting Oscar.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I don't think it's my imagination.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
No, And as you said the other day, you need
to take more than no credit on.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
This, not all the credit, but more than zero.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Yes, did you see Mark Runner smirking like he doesn't
want to give up market?
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Mark?
Speaker 3 (07:09):
You know for a fact that anything having to do
with the news and Tom Cruise being considered for an
oscar started here, good sir?
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Oh no, Well, first of all, I appreciate you trying
to start something with me like this, and I really
my heart goes out to Cruise, who's been so neglected.
He sorely needs this. He has, he does, he has
been that guy. He deserves more consideration. Who will give
Tom Cruise the love he deserves? Who this show? Yeah,
it's Later with Mo Kelly. If I am six forty,
(07:37):
were live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Oh maybe Facebook,
maybe TikTok a carnation.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
What are we live on tonight?
Speaker 5 (07:46):
We're live on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, you know.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Just about everything. I know. TikTok is coming this way.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Oh yes, TikTok is coming.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
All right, you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on
demand from kf.
Speaker 7 (08:03):
Wimbo.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Kelly six live everywhere on social media. I gotta tell you,
seeing what we're doing now with air quality here in California,
it really takes me back to when I was a
kid because I thought it was normal how bad our
air quality was.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
I just took it as I had no reference point.
And if you grew up here in la.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
If you were old enough to remember what it used
to be like, then you knew it was really really bad.
And also it seems like and correct me if I'm wrong. Twelve,
it seems like it's also getting hotter. It's it's getting
hotter year by year. And I'm not making a climate
change argument. I'll leave that to Mark Ronner. But it
(08:49):
just feels like it's getting hotter. I like messing with Mark. Amen,
it's the scientist. It's definitely getting hotter.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
The darkened brown orange, beautiful sunset skies that we used
to have, that was probably protecting us from the harsh
rays of the sun because the sun rays weren't getting
through that grayish fogg used to sit over the city
and make you feel like you've been swimming in a
pool of straight chlorine all day. Now we're getting all
(09:19):
this sun because our protective layer has been worn out.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
In California, I thought the o zone was fixed. What happened?
Speaker 4 (09:26):
There's no machine up there fixing it. Does that the
ozone has heeled. That's a separate issue from climate change. Okay, see,
I can't keep it all.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Straights healed, but it still has deep scars.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
Mark, I see scar tissue mountains. Yes, ozone scarring. This
is the first I've heard of this, but thank you well.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
I think we all can agree, irrespective of the reasons,
that it's hotter now than in years past, and although
we don't have hurricanes, although we may not have tornadoes,
people can die in the heat can be very very dangerous,
especially if you might be among the elderly. And I'm
almost there, so I have to pay more attention to that.
(10:08):
But the state California has launched a tool to help
people like you and me better prepare for the dangerous heat.
Beyond just looking at our phones and seeing what the
temperature is, we have to pay closer attention to the
heat index and the California Community's Extreme Heat Scoring System,
otherwise called cal Heat Score is going to be a
(10:30):
public health tool that ranks your community's heat conditions every
day on a scale from zero to four. The higher
the number, the higher the risk. It sounds like it
would be pretty simple. Score zero is considered low, one
is mild, two is moderate, three is high, and four
(10:52):
is considered severe. And the cow Heat Score is meant
to be a system easy for anyone like me and
you to understand and it's going to have a hyper
local approach. It's going to give you the heat risk
down to every zip code as opposed to just like
a general temperature over a larger area, and it will
also gives you some historical data to compare it to
(11:16):
other information to protect you. This also gives you information
as far as nearby cooling centers and other available resources
to better plan for extreme heat. You can access cal
Heat Score through their website and they're also working on
an app to give people time to real time notifications
(11:37):
on their cell phones. And this is something that I
also think about. I worry about the heat index not
just because of me, but I also worry about it
for my dogs. And when I'm trying to take them
out for a walk, I may think that I'm fine,
but then it's like, well, ninety five to me might
be one hundred and five to them. It's not like
they have sweat glands, and obviously they have a fur
coat to a certain degree. So I try to be
(11:59):
my that this could be important to not just me,
but pets as well when you're walking your dogs. And
I know a lot of people do this, and at
first it was like a big joke. But here in California,
because our sidewalks and the asphalt is so extremely hot,
have you and a lot more hair invested in dog shoes.
(12:21):
We did try dog shoes at one point because the
pads for the dogs they can be very tender. You know,
they're supposed to toughen up over years, but they can
still get sliced open, and so Benson, one of our schnazers,
would for some reason, he had a problem. He kept
getting sliced open. So we tried to buy him some
dog shoes, and he would keep shaking off because he
(12:42):
didn't like to be things on his paws.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
But yes, we're very conscious.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Like my wife just finished taking the dogs for a
walk after the day's heat.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
What is it like.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
It's seven twenty five right now, so it's it's in
a good part down.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Yeah, it's cooling down.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Like I try to take my dogs for a walk
on normal days, not summer days, but normal days around
two o'clock. It's if it's not eighty eighty five degrees.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Two o'clock is usually a good time to do it.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
It's right before I leave going to the office, and
so they get some exercise and then they get to
lay down. But if it's over eighty degrees, I wait.
And my wife usually takes him for a walk when
she gets home from work because we're conscious of the here.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
They do they both have that? Did they both have
that issue with the pads? No? Only only only Benson?
I wonder why, don't know? Don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Yes, because my wife, when she was taking tennis lessons,
they would go to the court with her and some reason,
he would always kick a rock or something and get
his pall sliced up until he was limping around. So
we would buy him these basically these doggy booties so
he could walk around. He just he would almost like hopstick.
He hated him. He hated them. You could tell yeah,
(13:52):
because they're like they're doing an awkward prance because they
just want to get him off right. But he didn't
want to walk around without him because his paw was tender.
And the reason I talk about this, you know, the
heat is not just about you. I remember when I
was twenty five secd oh so one hundred and ten
so what so what? No? You can get heat, exhaustion, heat,
heat stroke quicker than you might imagine. And also, and
(14:15):
I had to learn this the hard way when I
was in college. Drinking in the sun is not not
a good idea, not a good idea. And you may think, well,
it's the fourth of July, for example, the fourth of July,
why don't we go out there and have a brewer
two or or eight.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
And you're in the sun, if you're day going in
very quickly, Well, a beer is not going to kill you.
But if you if you've got heavy on, like the
hard liquor, you're gonna get dehydrated fast.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
But not only that, I'm saying, if you're going to
do it in the sun, you know you are opening
yourself up to all.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
The problem marked with that. A bear is and then
a kill is. No one just has a beer. What
there is no such thing as all have a drink,
especially on the day like the fourth. Yes, no one
just says, oh, just give me one. They start with
the one, and then it's good and it's tasty and
it's cold, and you know what, four or five later
in the sun and this.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
And all of a sudden your ass is done. Yeah,
three o'clock.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Well, also, I'm concerned about homeless people in this heat
as well, because they don't have any respite front.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Yeah, go ahead, No, I'm saying I was going to
agree with you.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Absolutely, And they don't have access to the information of
where or the ability to get to cooling center.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
The cooling centers, Yeah, we talk about them all the time,
but it's like lots of times, those who are most
impacted by the heat, like the un housed, they're not
listening to KFI No.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
So we all have to be mindful, not just of ourselves,
but also people around us. There may be someone a
neighbor in your community who is elderly, and you have
to check on that person as well, you know, make
sure that they are okay, that they have adequate water
and they are taking care of it.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
These are the things we need to think about in advance.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
And also we made mention of July fourth, we're going
to have our fifth annual Chateau le MoU Live broadcasts
on the fourth of July. Is going to run the
full time of the show from seven pm to ten pm. Yes,
we'll have some sort of broadcast or Instagram live.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
I don't know how the tech is going.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
To work out, but you'll be able to see the
whole show like you get to see the whole show here,
and if you don't know, we have an annual bakeoff
competition which you'll be able to get to.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
See live this year.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Ohnah, they'll get to see it live where we have
guests offer their best dessert offering.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Oh it's dessert. It's not people getting baked. No, well,
well I'm not sure. Yeah, I'm not sure. I'm going
to show up now. It's not mutually exclusive. There may
be some baking. Ah Okay, not by me.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
I'm just saying, you know, because that's what people do
in southern California.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Just seeking clarification, Please proceed. Yes, Yes, it's a dessert competition.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
And my sister won last year because she had like
an angel cake, but inside it was an American flag.
As you cut into it, you got to see American flag.
It's pretty amazing how she did it. I don't know
how she did it. But we'll have a baking competition
to Wala Sharp is the odds on favorite to win
this year.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
You know what, Unfortunately I do not have a kitchen
in which to bake.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
To Walla Sharp is no longer the odds on favorite
to win this year.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
I will be joining Wait wait wait wait wait, you're
gonna join competition?
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Yes, I am Wowack. Do you want to tell us
now what you will be baking?
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Well, right now I'm thinking about a Oui Guei cake.
Has anybody ever had one?
Speaker 8 (17:37):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (17:37):
But I don't know what. I don't know what the
ingredients consist of.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
Okay, well, it's just very sweet and it's soft and
it's good and it's buttery. So I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Now, you do know that there's a presentation aspect and
you have to sell it?
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Yes, Oh, you gotta be practicing.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Okay, Okay, it's it's a lot of ish talking. I
mean they come in. It's almost like a game of
dominoes or spades when you throwing down. If you come
up with a weak pitch, you might get boo. Your
dish may not get tasted. I kid you not. I
have seen some people come in with a weak pitch
and their dish went untouched.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Yes, and they will look at you like I ain't
even that. Don't don't don't take it personally. You don't
don't come in. There's some real Uh. There's one person,
Mike Downs, who's won it twice. He has a baking
business on the side, so I'm up against some professionals. Yeah,
just just let you know that. Just just be ready.
(18:34):
And do you have that trophy again? Yes, we will,
We'll have all of that trophy. The thing is legit.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
No, it's legit.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
It's it's a it's a full on baking competition. It's
a full on show from seven to ten. And yeah,
come join us next Friday. Well, I mean you could listen.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
You can't that. Don't do that, don't do that.

Show up and get your feelings hurt. Okay, I'm not
even trying to let Mark in. All right, I'll be
broadcasting the address shortly.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
See. The thing is, I believe him, he's twisted like that.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Everybody show up, You'll be welcome and there'll be plenty
to eat and drink for everybody.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
In the way that Tawala always gives out my social
media marks.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Yes, but now more than ever, we need to give
it out at mister Moke and all platforms so you
can tune in and watch us live like how you think.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Yes, it's later with Mo Kelly.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
We have a WEAMO update, we have a Volkswagen Robotaxi introduction,
and I have a way Mo personal anecdote that's all.
Speaker 6 (19:33):
Next you're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 7 (19:48):
Mister mo'kelly, He woman, So this is autonomous vehicles?
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Might beyond that?
Speaker 7 (20:02):
Moping two Walla comes on, clincher tone under control, he says,
Kelly is role. Mo thinks he's under payroll. You moron over.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
KFI eight Later with Mo Kelly live on social media
everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. A couple of stories with Way.
I want to start with my personal anecdote. I was
driving yesterday. I was driving down Prairie, is going southbound
on Prairie, and there is a left turn turning on
to Century right across the street from into it dumb.
(21:02):
They have this single left lane, which is really dumb.
By an arena, you need to have a double left
turn lane. People are piling into that left turn lane,
that single lane, and then you have the people in
the next lane over trying to dive in because there's
not enough room for all the cars who want to
turn left going south on Prairie. There was a way
(21:23):
Mo in that first lane, which is going straight, which
would have been a second turn lane, and it was
seemingly driving straight and then at the last second put
on its blinker. I'm directly next to it, and I
guess they call it the number two lane. Everyone is
turning legally, turning left on to Century Boulevard eastbound Century
Boulevard from Prairie, and then the WAIMO said, ef it,
(21:46):
I can't get in the left turn lane. I'll just
go ahead and mirror the left turn lane as if
there was a secondary left turn lane and turn parallel
to all the other cars. People started honking. I went
through the intersection. I couldn't pull out my phone to
start recording it. That would have been kind of, you know,
contradictory to do something really dangerous. Talking about a weymo
(22:07):
doing something dangerous. I know someone had to get gotten
some video of it. It was so egregious, it was so.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Oh my god, the ve as you're putting on this,
it's ridiculous. Were we already said that waynmos are adopting
more human like driver practices, which is literally what.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
I saw to day as I was illegally in the.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Left turn hand lane to deafter to go and go
what is it suppovida? So I could get all down
onto the freeway in a car literally zoomed around all
of us.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
That great. No, no, hell no.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
It was a driver in a Denali just zumed right
around all of us and sped all into traffic and
everyone is like. People were all like what the bad
human behavior? And the driver didn't even get anywhere. So
I'm like, hey, guess what waymos doing?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Weymos? You know what?
Speaker 3 (23:01):
This is how you humans are gonna drive? Well, let
my AI catch up to you all and just join
in the fund. And that's good. All I know is
I saw a car literally go through a red light.
And here's the thing. It paused. It got it paused
like it's like there's not enough time to get to
the get through the yellow. So it got to the
through the line line at the yellow and then said
(23:25):
effort zoom right on through the intersection after.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
To a red. Like what was that about? Okay? I mean,
are are we stopping people from driving?
Speaker 5 (23:33):
No?
Speaker 2 (23:33):
We're not, So then we're not.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
No, you know, if if if if, if, if my
aunt was a man, that'd be my uncle. All I'm
saying is that doesn't that doesn't matter. All I'm saying
is you're bringing them nonsensical things to like bring up
this ridiculous case against Waivema.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Your original argument was that Weymo was safer than human.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
It still is because did the Weymo get into an accident.
It's just because I don't when he was driving, I
don't want to dangerous.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
I don't want to hear about could die. No one dies.
All I'm saying is I saw first hand.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
And so you're the one that's busy trying to call
the police on someone with their phone. Look, I've already
off phone, officer. I am witnessing someone texting wall driving.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Officer. I don't like it.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
I would have done it, you know what, And I
had a mind to record it, and then all the oh,
you would have been as a rat, no saying, all
the focus would have been on me, what are you
doing filming a dangerous exactly by by exhibiting dangerous, you know, then.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Don't do it.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Now you're here, you're here, you're here safe. In other
waybo News, two people were shot in I'm not going
to blame, but a human driver would have gotten away.
Just two juveniles were injured after Weimo was shot at
multiple times in Santa Monica Sunday night.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Hey, I wonder if they were drinking outside. Ooh wow,
what is that?
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Like a triple word score if I were just wondering
because Santa Monica Police Department said they received the call
around eleven thirty pm about a shooting near Second in Broadway.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
That's there, Yeah, that's the zone.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
When officers arrived, they found two people who had been
struck by gunfire. The individuals were taken to a hospital
and their conditions remain unknown. A spokesman for Waymo said
a rider was shot while the car was stopped at
the intersection.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Someone you know what that sounds like someone who left
the drinking zone.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Buzz saw Waymo, Like, move out of my way. Yeah,
they're filthy, way Mall. I took a shot at it.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Look all I'm saying is I don't believe it's a
coincidence that it happened specifically in that location.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
And Volkswagen has unveiled a Robotaxi designed to compete with Uber,
specifically here in Los Angeles, Stephan. The first five hundred
will be delivered this year. Now excuse me, next year, Stephan.
Volkswagen is one of the last from its industry to
steal harbor ambitions. As the story goes, in the fledgling
(26:06):
market for autonomous ride hailing, McKenzie and their estimates could
grow as much as half a trillion dollars over the
next ten years.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Stefan, you might be out of a job. It's it's
kind of pushing me up against the wall. I can
tell that much.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
And VW aims to be a supplier and leave the
actual business of managing the fleets to others such as Uber.
So this is what they're going to do to specifically
replace human drivers under the banner of Uber.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
We can stop all this.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
I want everybody to go home and watch a movie
called Colossus the Foreben Project tonight and realize that the
time to stop our robot overlords from taking over is
before they take over bart.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
No one's going to go home and download to B tonight.
So got your movie, nobody is. You can mock me
all you want, but just wait until we're all like
you said that. I can mock you all I want,
but it.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Won't make any difference because we're all going to be
enslaved to Ultron. Maybe, but you know, Ultron did pick
some people, and you're hedge in your bets then you
never know.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Okay, all right, someone has to be a yeah view
sexy robot.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
I'm just gonna stay right there with I can mock
mark as much as I want.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Well you can try. Oh oh, now you have a
caveat well.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
I mean the fact that modifiers the fact that I'm
right about this might be a minor speed bump for you.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
I don't know if you're actually right about this. I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
There's so much AI in what we use on a
day to day basis that you obviously approve of or
don't necessarily know of. I mean, if you've turned on
any type of GPS in the past five or six years,
that's definitely AI.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
I lived without it before, I can live without it again.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Don't want it. Living without it? That makes you're living
with it.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Well, there are all sorts of insidious ways AI is
inflicted on us. I don't want them. If I could
throw your phone away, no, I need the phone and
that's how it begins. But I don't have the new
one with the AI built into it. There are apps,
but I mean it's it's like saying, you know, if
you don't like X, leave the country or something. There
are some things that are just so much part of
society now that to function, you've got to deal with
(28:19):
them in your life and resist them where you can.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Mark you know that all your apps will pretty soon
in short order become outdated and unusable because all phones
right now, all phones are switching over to AI programming.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
That's total. That's a fact. That's fat. That's correct though.
So I'm just saying, let's go back to like a
flip phone.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
You're gonna have to you're gonna have to go out
to You're gonna have to have a just a phone,
no smartphone.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
It just dials and maybe sends a text out there,
just a pair of tin cans and a string. Listen,
the Bill's gonna come do for all this AI stuff,
And you guys are gonna not just quote.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
You are gonna.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Wish that you had listened to me the Bill. I
am never gonna wish I listened to Mark Ronner. That
is never gonna come out of my mouth never ever.
It's Later with mo Kelly KFI. I am six forty
live everywhere now your heart radio app and all of
social media.
Speaker 6 (29:15):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on Demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
AM six forty It's the Later with Mo Kelly were
live everywhere on social media, and at the beginning of
the show, I was talking about how growing up as
a kid in southern California, the air quality here was horrible.
I remember going to Joseph Arnold Elementary School in Torrance
and we had small alerts. There were days in which
we were not allowed to go out on the playground
(29:46):
because the smog and air quality were so bad.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
We just said, well, that's just Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
You know, certain days you just it's almost like we
were in like living in a post apocalyptic world where
you know, there's nuclear fallout or something. Can't go outside today, Okay,
just days we could not go out and play it
on the playground, or we were kept indoors. We had
to take recess indoors. And then you get older and
you look back and realize that shouldn't have been normal.
And they improved the air quality, but I remember thinking,
(30:14):
as a young adult, I wonder if they're going to
be any long term implications of breathing in all that smog.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
I was never a smoker, but if you're.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Breathing in that smog, for I don't know how many
years you could probably develop some lung issues. And then
I came across this survey, and this new study ranks
the best states in the nation for lung health. And
it's citing lower smoking rates, cleaner air, and more favorable
environmental conditions compared to the rest of the country. And
(30:45):
this research was conducted by Opera Beds. I have no
idea who they are. I'm just here for this for
the ranking, and it analyzed a wide range of health
and environmental data across all fifty states to determine where
Americans are least likely to develop crime respiratory issues, including COPD.
The study looked at smoking prevalence, levels of air pollution,
(31:06):
toxic chemical emissions, humidity levels, and historical data on COPD
rates of both men and women. So here we go.
The top ten states for lung health. Number ten, New
(31:27):
Jery Zy. They came in number ten. I have to
work on mind. New Jersey accident number nine. Rhode Island
checks in at number nine. Top state for young excuse me,
lung health number.
Speaker 8 (31:43):
Eight Connecticut, and I still cannot spell that state that
or Massachusetts to this day.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
I always get it wrong. Always Number seven South Dakota.
That sounds about right, But check out number six. California
(32:15):
comes in at number six. I'm not ever going to
get COPD or lum cancer according to this. How do
we beat out South Dakota. You think the air would
be better in South Dakota, right, Yes.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
We've been cleaning up. We've been cleaning up.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Number five Nebraska, Number four Maryland. I can see that.
If you've ever been to.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Maryland, the amount of greenery all over that state, it's
almost rural.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
You would think that it isn't, but it very much so.
Is three.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
New Mexico. I can see that. I spend a little
time there. My wife's from New Mexico. Number two of
the top ten states for lung health. I thought this
state would have been number one, Hawaii, but it's not.
And coming in at number one of the top ten
(33:28):
states for lung health.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Colorado. Yeah, with all that we spoke, Yeah, Plus it's
it's the elevation, that's true. That's true.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
I got very quickly the bottom ten states for lung health.
I won't do the drum roll, but they're pretty predictable.
Coming at number ten. Working our way down Kentucky, you
may notice a pattern here, Number nine Mississippi, Number eight Louisiana.
(34:12):
Anyone noticed the pattern yet? But to make of this
number seven Tennessee? Number six Nevada.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
You don't know how much they smoke in Nevada.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Yeah, yeah, I'm surprised it's not number five Michigan.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
That kind of surprises me.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Number four Pennsylvania, Number three Alaska at tracks yeah, I
can see that, Number two Ohio, and coming in at
number one.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
Any guesses Mark? Any guesses mark for the worst? Yes,
it's got to be someplace in the South. Let's say, uh, Louisiana.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
No, that was number eight. Oh sorry, I'm gonna listen.
Next show.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
The worst state in the Union for lung health Indiana?
Whoa really?
Speaker 2 (35:12):
Really? I believe it? Yeah? I lived there. I smelled
it there. Yeah. Wow. Ohio in some parts of Pennsylvania. Yeah, elast.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
It kind of shocked me though, because it's just I
figured it's so cold it would kind of keep the
contamination down.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
I have no idea, I think. Don't they smoke a
lot in Alaska?
Speaker 3 (35:31):
Aren't there factory like like oil refinements and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
All that?
Speaker 4 (35:37):
If you can see Russia from your house you've got
to smoke just to deal with the stress.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Look, I should tell you about some of the interesting
mail I got in my social media this week.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
And I tell you you mean that at mister Kelly. Yes, yes, okay,
I'll tell you about it later. Oh.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
By the way, Twala has an admirer in the YouTube chat.
It sure does. Oh do tell who is this Laurie C.
I'm not going to give her last name. Laurie C.
Laurie in Motown.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
Says to Wallace hot Well, thank you, Laurie C. In Motown.
I appreciate the compliment. I truly do.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
And in the words of Missy Elliott, get your freak on.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
She ain't say all that if I am six forty
live every morning. I heart where you
Speaker 6 (36:25):
At as fine and kost h D two, Los Angeles,
Orange County more stimulating gong
I am six forties Happy Monday. Here on Later with
Mo Kelly. We're live on YouTube. iHeartRadio app. I guess Facebook.
They don't tell me anymore. I just say we're live
everywhere and just leave it at that. Assume we are
live on your social media page some where.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
I'm in a pretty good mood today. I'm in a
pretty good mood.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Not a bad start to the Monday. It's not great news,
but it's not bad news. Got a note today from
the PR agency representing Eddie Murphy said that we're still
in the running to all.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
You saw the email.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
If forwarded to you, I did, indeed, So it's not
a direct yes, but it's absolutely.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Not a no.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
It's actually a you are still in consideration and when
something becomes available an opportunity, we will let you know.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
So that's very promising.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
And if you know anything about the business behind the scenes,
all press requests have to be run by the talent,
especially when you're talking about some of the level of
Eddie Murphy. He's not going to speak to anyone he
doesn't want to speak to, if he doesn't want to
speak to Extra, if he doesn't want to speak to
Yahoo News, if he doesn't want to speak to entertainment
tonight or e.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
It won't happen. It's just that simple. So it's going
to be up to him.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
And I know that Amazon Prime has been taking a
look at us because they're not going to consider us otherwise.
I always say it's easier to say no. It is,
trust me, it is easier this business to just say
no and get people out of their hair and not
give them false hope. So that's just been my experience.
Give because a couple of people had asked me online, like,
(02:02):
so what's up with Eddie Murphy. Look, it's out of
our control. You know, when I know something, you do something.
So I got an email today from the PR agency
handling the press for The Pickup, which is his new movie,
which is coming out August sixth on Amazon Prime.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
You know it's interesting is when I was trying to
get Eddie Murphy on for the last Beverly Hills Cop,
Netflix was actually very quick with their no. They were like, yes,
thank you for your request. We are sorry, unfortunate at
this time we're not doing any media. That's what we
were told. We saw him doing some media, but still
(02:40):
it was television. It wasn't radio, so we had to
kind of take that, you know, like, all right, cool.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
It's hard.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
It's hard when you're a radio outlet tried to get
movie and television personalities. I don't think people realize the
amount of work which goes into it to build those relationships.
So they will take you seriously because I know it's
not sexy when you say AM radio to a movie
and television star.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
It's not.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Now, there's a video component, there's social media. There's obviously
the iHeartRadio app, which enhances it. But at the same time,
not everyone is savvy about am its reach, the reach
of this particular station, and also how it has moved
into the twenty first century in ways that other media
(03:25):
has not.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
So that is the update.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
We were told that we're still in the running, and
you know, they'll reach back up out to us.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
I'll mean, the bad news is kind of like, don't
call us.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
We'll call you, but we have your number and we
are look still looking at you.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
So you know, try to keep it positive. And I
know they're listening right now. So yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Oh, and also we're going to talk about how California
has launched this new weather tracking system to rank the
severity of extreme heat. You know how we have like
small alerts back in the day. I guess it's something
like that. We'll tell you about that. And it stands
to be a very very hot summer, so you definitely
want to take a note of that. And I have
my own personal Waymo story I'm going to tell you
(04:10):
about today, and the only reason I didn't actually tape
it was because I was driving, and that would have
been that would have been worse for me to get
into an accident while trying to film a Waymo. Okay,
I'm trying to be safe, but I have a first
hand story about a Waymo who did something or witch
did something very dangerous and almost caused a major accident
(04:32):
in Inglewood. And also Weimo was caught up in a shooting.
Someone got shot in a Weymo. I'm not gonna blame
that on Weymbo. I'm just saying it seems like wherever
Weymo goes, trouble follows.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Okay, okay, okay, okay, easy.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Hey did you hear Volkswagen has unveiled it's ROBOTAXI designed
the challenge Weimo right here in LA and so within
the next year, we'll have more competition in the robotaxi
autonomous vehicle market. And I was just missioning early about
this new weather tracking system to rank the severity of
the heat, and I mentioned SMAG alerts. I wonder where
(05:06):
California ranks right now among the states for lung health,
because I remember, Mark, you weren't living here. First good evening, Mark,
you weren't living here in California back in the late
nineteen seventies.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
I don't think, no, I wasn't. It was so bad.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
You would just see this brown haze hovering over downtown
and you would play in the summers like this, go
outside and play, and your chest would start hurting just
from breathing in the smog all day.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Well, I was a small kid here in the years
before that kind of like I guess it would be
the early seventies, and I remember having like wheezing, gasping
fits and we couldn't figure out what was wrong with me.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Absolutely, California had some of the worst air quality back
in the late nineteen seventies, and I wonder now, many
years later, whether it's had a long term impact. I've
never smoked, so I at least had that going for me,
But I always wondered about the long term implications of
that bad air quality we had here in southern California.
So we're going to tell you about the top states
(06:05):
for lung health according to a new study. And for
those who don't know, last week we did a short,
well nice short segment, but we had some fun talking
about the Craft All Stars, Sid Marty Croft All Stars,
playing some of the themes and everything hed. We got
a nice follow from Sid Croft today on social media.
(06:27):
Really yeah, true, sorry, pretty cool, true story. So you know,
you never know who's listening. You never know. And speaking
of you never know who's listening. Saw this story today
twy I don't know if you saw it five times
that Tom Cruise deserved to win an Oscar according to
the story. I'm seeing more and more stories about Tom
Cruise being actively considered for an acting Oscar.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I don't think it's my imagination.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
No, And as you said the other day, you need
to take more than no credit on.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
This, not all the credit, but more than zero.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Yes, did you see Mark Runner smirking like he doesn't
want to give up market?
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Mark?
Speaker 3 (07:09):
You know for a fact that anything having to do
with the news and Tom Cruise being considered for an
oscar started here, good sir?
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Oh no, Well, first of all, I appreciate you trying
to start something with me like this, and I really
my heart goes out to Cruise, who's been so neglected.
He sorely needs this. He has, he does, he has
been that guy. He deserves more consideration. Who will give
Tom Cruise the love he deserves? Who this show? Yeah,
it's Later with Mo Kelly. If I am six forty,
(07:37):
were live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Oh maybe Facebook,
maybe TikTok a carnation.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
What are we live on tonight?
Speaker 5 (07:46):
We're live on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, you know.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Just about everything. I know. TikTok is coming this way.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Oh yes, TikTok is coming.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
All right, you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on
demand from kf.
Speaker 7 (08:03):
Wimbo.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Kelly six live everywhere on social media. I gotta tell you,
seeing what we're doing now with air quality here in California,
it really takes me back to when I was a
kid because I thought it was normal how bad our
air quality was.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
I just took it as I had no reference point.
And if you grew up here in la.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
If you were old enough to remember what it used
to be like, then you knew it was really really bad.
And also it seems like and correct me if I'm wrong. Twelve,
it seems like it's also getting hotter. It's it's getting
hotter year by year. And I'm not making a climate
change argument. I'll leave that to Mark Ronner. But it
(08:49):
just feels like it's getting hotter. I like messing with Mark. Amen,
it's the scientist. It's definitely getting hotter.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
The darkened brown orange, beautiful sunset skies that we used
to have, that was probably protecting us from the harsh
rays of the sun because the sun rays weren't getting
through that grayish fogg used to sit over the city
and make you feel like you've been swimming in a
pool of straight chlorine all day. Now we're getting all
(09:19):
this sun because our protective layer has been worn out.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
In California, I thought the o zone was fixed. What happened?
Speaker 4 (09:26):
There's no machine up there fixing it. Does that the
ozone has heeled. That's a separate issue from climate change. Okay, see,
I can't keep it all.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Straights healed, but it still has deep scars.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
Mark, I see scar tissue mountains. Yes, ozone scarring. This
is the first I've heard of this, but thank you well.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
I think we all can agree, irrespective of the reasons,
that it's hotter now than in years past, and although
we don't have hurricanes, although we may not have tornadoes,
people can die in the heat can be very very dangerous,
especially if you might be among the elderly. And I'm
almost there, so I have to pay more attention to that.
(10:08):
But the state California has launched a tool to help
people like you and me better prepare for the dangerous heat.
Beyond just looking at our phones and seeing what the
temperature is, we have to pay closer attention to the
heat index and the California Community's Extreme Heat Scoring System,
otherwise called cal Heat Score is going to be a
(10:30):
public health tool that ranks your community's heat conditions every
day on a scale from zero to four. The higher
the number, the higher the risk. It sounds like it
would be pretty simple. Score zero is considered low, one
is mild, two is moderate, three is high, and four
(10:52):
is considered severe. And the cow Heat Score is meant
to be a system easy for anyone like me and
you to understand and it's going to have a hyper
local approach. It's going to give you the heat risk
down to every zip code as opposed to just like
a general temperature over a larger area, and it will
also gives you some historical data to compare it to
(11:16):
other information to protect you. This also gives you information
as far as nearby cooling centers and other available resources
to better plan for extreme heat. You can access cal
Heat Score through their website and they're also working on
an app to give people time to real time notifications
(11:37):
on their cell phones. And this is something that I
also think about. I worry about the heat index not
just because of me, but I also worry about it
for my dogs. And when I'm trying to take them
out for a walk, I may think that I'm fine,
but then it's like, well, ninety five to me might
be one hundred and five to them. It's not like
they have sweat glands, and obviously they have a fur
coat to a certain degree. So I try to be
(11:59):
my that this could be important to not just me,
but pets as well when you're walking your dogs. And
I know a lot of people do this, and at
first it was like a big joke. But here in California,
because our sidewalks and the asphalt is so extremely hot,
have you and a lot more hair invested in dog shoes.
(12:21):
We did try dog shoes at one point because the
pads for the dogs they can be very tender. You know,
they're supposed to toughen up over years, but they can
still get sliced open, and so Benson, one of our schnazers,
would for some reason, he had a problem. He kept
getting sliced open. So we tried to buy him some
dog shoes, and he would keep shaking off because he
(12:42):
didn't like to be things on his paws.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
But yes, we're very conscious.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Like my wife just finished taking the dogs for a
walk after the day's heat.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
What is it like.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
It's seven twenty five right now, so it's it's in
a good part down.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Yeah, it's cooling down.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Like I try to take my dogs for a walk
on normal days, not summer days, but normal days around
two o'clock. It's if it's not eighty eighty five degrees.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Two o'clock is usually a good time to do it.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
It's right before I leave going to the office, and
so they get some exercise and then they get to
lay down. But if it's over eighty degrees, I wait.
And my wife usually takes him for a walk when
she gets home from work because we're conscious of the here.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
They do they both have that? Did they both have
that issue with the pads? No? Only only only Benson?
I wonder why, don't know? Don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Yes, because my wife, when she was taking tennis lessons,
they would go to the court with her and some reason,
he would always kick a rock or something and get
his pall sliced up until he was limping around. So
we would buy him these basically these doggy booties so
he could walk around. He just he would almost like hopstick.
He hated him. He hated them. You could tell yeah,
(13:52):
because they're like they're doing an awkward prance because they
just want to get him off right. But he didn't
want to walk around without him because his paw was tender.
And the reason I talk about this, you know, the
heat is not just about you. I remember when I
was twenty five secd oh so one hundred and ten
so what so what? No? You can get heat, exhaustion, heat,
heat stroke quicker than you might imagine. And also, and
(14:15):
I had to learn this the hard way when I
was in college. Drinking in the sun is not not
a good idea, not a good idea. And you may think, well,
it's the fourth of July, for example, the fourth of July,
why don't we go out there and have a brewer
two or or eight.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
And you're in the sun, if you're day going in
very quickly, Well, a beer is not going to kill you.
But if you if you've got heavy on, like the
hard liquor, you're gonna get dehydrated fast.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
But not only that, I'm saying, if you're going to
do it in the sun, you know you are opening
yourself up to all.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
The problem marked with that. A bear is and then
a kill is. No one just has a beer. What
there is no such thing as all have a drink,
especially on the day like the fourth. Yes, no one
just says, oh, just give me one. They start with
the one, and then it's good and it's tasty and
it's cold, and you know what, four or five later
in the sun and this.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
And all of a sudden your ass is done. Yeah,
three o'clock.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Well, also, I'm concerned about homeless people in this heat
as well, because they don't have any respite front.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Yeah, go ahead, No, I'm saying I was going to
agree with you.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Absolutely, And they don't have access to the information of
where or the ability to get to cooling center.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
The cooling centers, Yeah, we talk about them all the time,
but it's like lots of times, those who are most
impacted by the heat, like the un housed, they're not
listening to KFI No.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
So we all have to be mindful, not just of ourselves,
but also people around us. There may be someone a
neighbor in your community who is elderly, and you have
to check on that person as well, you know, make
sure that they are okay, that they have adequate water
and they are taking care of it.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
These are the things we need to think about in advance.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
And also we made mention of July fourth, we're going
to have our fifth annual Chateau le MoU Live broadcasts
on the fourth of July. Is going to run the
full time of the show from seven pm to ten pm. Yes,
we'll have some sort of broadcast or Instagram live.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
I don't know how the tech is going.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
To work out, but you'll be able to see the
whole show like you get to see the whole show here,
and if you don't know, we have an annual bakeoff
competition which you'll be able to get to.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
See live this year.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Ohnah, they'll get to see it live where we have
guests offer their best dessert offering.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Oh it's dessert. It's not people getting baked. No, well,
well I'm not sure. Yeah, I'm not sure. I'm going
to show up now. It's not mutually exclusive. There may
be some baking. Ah Okay, not by me.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
I'm just saying, you know, because that's what people do
in southern California.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Just seeking clarification, Please proceed. Yes, Yes, it's a dessert competition.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
And my sister won last year because she had like
an angel cake, but inside it was an American flag.
As you cut into it, you got to see American flag.
It's pretty amazing how she did it. I don't know
how she did it. But we'll have a baking competition
to Wala Sharp is the odds on favorite to win
this year.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
You know what, Unfortunately I do not have a kitchen
in which to bake.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
To Walla Sharp is no longer the odds on favorite
to win this year.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
I will be joining Wait wait wait wait wait, you're
gonna join competition?
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Yes, I am Wowack. Do you want to tell us
now what you will be baking?
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Well, right now I'm thinking about a Oui Guei cake.
Has anybody ever had one?
Speaker 8 (17:37):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (17:37):
But I don't know what. I don't know what the
ingredients consist of.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
Okay, well, it's just very sweet and it's soft and
it's good and it's buttery. So I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Now, you do know that there's a presentation aspect and
you have to sell it?
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Yes, Oh, you gotta be practicing.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Okay, Okay, it's it's a lot of ish talking. I
mean they come in. It's almost like a game of
dominoes or spades when you throwing down. If you come
up with a weak pitch, you might get boo. Your
dish may not get tasted. I kid you not. I
have seen some people come in with a weak pitch
and their dish went untouched.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Yes, and they will look at you like I ain't
even that. Don't don't don't take it personally. You don't
don't come in. There's some real Uh. There's one person,
Mike Downs, who's won it twice. He has a baking
business on the side, so I'm up against some professionals. Yeah,
just just let you know that. Just just be ready.
(18:34):
And do you have that trophy again? Yes, we will,
We'll have all of that trophy. The thing is legit.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
No, it's legit.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
It's it's a it's a full on baking competition. It's
a full on show from seven to ten. And yeah,
come join us next Friday. Well, I mean you could listen.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
You can't that. Don't do that, don't do that.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Show up and get your feelings hurt. Okay, I'm not
even trying to let Mark in. All right, I'll be
broadcasting the address shortly.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
See. The thing is, I believe him, he's twisted like that.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Everybody show up, You'll be welcome and there'll be plenty
to eat and drink for everybody.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
In the way that Tawala always gives out my social
media marks.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Yes, but now more than ever, we need to give
it out at mister Moke and all platforms so you
can tune in and watch us live like how you think.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Yes, it's later with Mo Kelly.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
We have a WEAMO update, we have a Volkswagen Robotaxi introduction,
and I have a way Mo personal anecdote that's all.
Speaker 6 (19:33):
Next you're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 7 (19:48):
Mister mo'kelly, He woman, So this is autonomous vehicles?
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Might beyond that?
Speaker 7 (20:02):
Moping two Walla comes on, clincher tone under control, he says,
Kelly is role. Mo thinks he's under payroll. You moron over.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
KFI eight Later with Mo Kelly live on social media
everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. A couple of stories with Way.
I want to start with my personal anecdote. I was
driving yesterday. I was driving down Prairie, is going southbound
on Prairie, and there is a left turn turning on
to Century right across the street from into it dumb.
(21:02):
They have this single left lane, which is really dumb.
By an arena, you need to have a double left
turn lane. People are piling into that left turn lane,
that single lane, and then you have the people in
the next lane over trying to dive in because there's
not enough room for all the cars who want to
turn left going south on Prairie. There was a way
(21:23):
Mo in that first lane, which is going straight, which
would have been a second turn lane, and it was
seemingly driving straight and then at the last second put
on its blinker. I'm directly next to it, and I
guess they call it the number two lane. Everyone is
turning legally, turning left on to Century Boulevard eastbound Century
Boulevard from Prairie, and then the WAIMO said, ef it,
(21:46):
I can't get in the left turn lane. I'll just
go ahead and mirror the left turn lane as if
there was a secondary left turn lane and turn parallel
to all the other cars. People started honking. I went
through the intersection. I couldn't pull out my phone to
start recording it. That would have been kind of, you know,
contradictory to do something really dangerous. Talking about a weymo
(22:07):
doing something dangerous. I know someone had to get gotten
some video of it. It was so egregious, it was so.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Oh my god, the ve as you're putting on this,
it's ridiculous. Were we already said that waynmos are adopting
more human like driver practices, which is literally what.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
I saw to day as I was illegally in the.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Left turn hand lane to deafter to go and go
what is it suppovida? So I could get all down
onto the freeway in a car literally zoomed around all
of us.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
That great. No, no, hell no.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
It was a driver in a Denali just zumed right
around all of us and sped all into traffic and
everyone is like. People were all like what the bad
human behavior? And the driver didn't even get anywhere. So
I'm like, hey, guess what waymos doing?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Weymos? You know what?
Speaker 3 (23:01):
This is how you humans are gonna drive? Well, let
my AI catch up to you all and just join
in the fund. And that's good. All I know is
I saw a car literally go through a red light.
And here's the thing. It paused. It got it paused
like it's like there's not enough time to get to
the get through the yellow. So it got to the
through the line line at the yellow and then said
(23:25):
effort zoom right on through the intersection after.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
To a red. Like what was that about? Okay? I mean,
are are we stopping people from driving?
Speaker 5 (23:33):
No?
Speaker 2 (23:33):
We're not, So then we're not.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
No, you know, if if if if, if, if my
aunt was a man, that'd be my uncle. All I'm
saying is that doesn't that doesn't matter. All I'm saying
is you're bringing them nonsensical things to like bring up
this ridiculous case against Waivema.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Your original argument was that Weymo was safer than human.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
It still is because did the Weymo get into an accident.
It's just because I don't when he was driving, I
don't want to dangerous.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
I don't want to hear about could die. No one dies.
All I'm saying is I saw first hand.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
And so you're the one that's busy trying to call
the police on someone with their phone. Look, I've already
off phone, officer. I am witnessing someone texting wall driving.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Officer. I don't like it.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
I would have done it, you know what, And I
had a mind to record it, and then all the oh,
you would have been as a rat, no saying, all
the focus would have been on me, what are you
doing filming a dangerous exactly by by exhibiting dangerous, you know, then.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Don't do it.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Now you're here, you're here, you're here safe. In other
waybo News, two people were shot in I'm not going
to blame, but a human driver would have gotten away.
Just two juveniles were injured after Weimo was shot at
multiple times in Santa Monica Sunday night.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Hey, I wonder if they were drinking outside. Ooh wow,
what is that?
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Like a triple word score if I were just wondering
because Santa Monica Police Department said they received the call
around eleven thirty pm about a shooting near Second in Broadway.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
That's there, Yeah, that's the zone.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
When officers arrived, they found two people who had been
struck by gunfire. The individuals were taken to a hospital
and their conditions remain unknown. A spokesman for Waymo said
a rider was shot while the car was stopped at
the intersection.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Someone you know what that sounds like someone who left
the drinking zone.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Buzz saw Waymo, Like, move out of my way. Yeah,
they're filthy, way Mall. I took a shot at it.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Look all I'm saying is I don't believe it's a
coincidence that it happened specifically in that location.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
And Volkswagen has unveiled a Robotaxi designed to compete with Uber,
specifically here in Los Angeles, Stephan. The first five hundred
will be delivered this year. Now excuse me, next year, Stephan.
Volkswagen is one of the last from its industry to
steal harbor ambitions. As the story goes, in the fledgling
(26:06):
market for autonomous ride hailing, McKenzie and their estimates could
grow as much as half a trillion dollars over the
next ten years.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Stefan, you might be out of a job. It's it's
kind of pushing me up against the wall. I can
tell that much.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
And VW aims to be a supplier and leave the
actual business of managing the fleets to others such as Uber.
So this is what they're going to do to specifically
replace human drivers under the banner of Uber.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
We can stop all this.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
I want everybody to go home and watch a movie
called Colossus the Foreben Project tonight and realize that the
time to stop our robot overlords from taking over is
before they take over bart.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
No one's going to go home and download to B tonight.
So got your movie, nobody is. You can mock me
all you want, but just wait until we're all like
you said that. I can mock you all I want,
but it.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Won't make any difference because we're all going to be
enslaved to Ultron. Maybe, but you know, Ultron did pick
some people, and you're hedge in your bets then you
never know.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Okay, all right, someone has to be a yeah view
sexy robot.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
I'm just gonna stay right there with I can mock
mark as much as I want.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Well you can try. Oh oh, now you have a
caveat well.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
I mean the fact that modifiers the fact that I'm
right about this might be a minor speed bump for you.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
I don't know if you're actually right about this. I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
There's so much AI in what we use on a
day to day basis that you obviously approve of or
don't necessarily know of. I mean, if you've turned on
any type of GPS in the past five or six years,
that's definitely AI.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
I lived without it before, I can live without it again.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Don't want it. Living without it? That makes you're living
with it.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Well, there are all sorts of insidious ways AI is
inflicted on us. I don't want them. If I could
throw your phone away, no, I need the phone and
that's how it begins. But I don't have the new
one with the AI built into it. There are apps,
but I mean it's it's like saying, you know, if
you don't like X, leave the country or something. There
are some things that are just so much part of
society now that to function, you've got to deal with
(28:19):
them in your life and resist them where you can.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Mark you know that all your apps will pretty soon
in short order become outdated and unusable because all phones
right now, all phones are switching over to AI programming.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
That's total. That's a fact. That's fat. That's correct though.
So I'm just saying, let's go back to like a
flip phone.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
You're gonna have to you're gonna have to go out
to You're gonna have to have a just a phone,
no smartphone.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
It just dials and maybe sends a text out there,
just a pair of tin cans and a string. Listen,
the Bill's gonna come do for all this AI stuff,
And you guys are gonna not just quote.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
You are gonna.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Wish that you had listened to me the Bill. I
am never gonna wish I listened to Mark Ronner. That
is never gonna come out of my mouth never ever.
It's Later with mo Kelly KFI. I am six forty
live everywhere now your heart radio app and all of
social media.
Speaker 6 (29:15):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on Demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
AM six forty It's the Later with Mo Kelly were
live everywhere on social media, and at the beginning of
the show, I was talking about how growing up as
a kid in southern California, the air quality here was horrible.
I remember going to Joseph Arnold Elementary School in Torrance
and we had small alerts. There were days in which
we were not allowed to go out on the playground
(29:46):
because the smog and air quality were so bad.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
We just said, well, that's just Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
You know, certain days you just it's almost like we
were in like living in a post apocalyptic world where
you know, there's nuclear fallout or something. Can't go outside today, Okay,
just days we could not go out and play it
on the playground, or we were kept indoors. We had
to take recess indoors. And then you get older and
you look back and realize that shouldn't have been normal.
And they improved the air quality, but I remember thinking,
(30:14):
as a young adult, I wonder if they're going to
be any long term implications of breathing in all that smog.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
I was never a smoker, but if you're.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Breathing in that smog, for I don't know how many
years you could probably develop some lung issues. And then
I came across this survey, and this new study ranks
the best states in the nation for lung health. And
it's citing lower smoking rates, cleaner air, and more favorable
environmental conditions compared to the rest of the country. And
(30:45):
this research was conducted by Opera Beds. I have no
idea who they are. I'm just here for this for
the ranking, and it analyzed a wide range of health
and environmental data across all fifty states to determine where
Americans are least likely to develop crime respiratory issues, including COPD.
The study looked at smoking prevalence, levels of air pollution,
(31:06):
toxic chemical emissions, humidity levels, and historical data on COPD
rates of both men and women. So here we go.
The top ten states for lung health. Number ten, New
(31:27):
Jery Zy. They came in number ten. I have to
work on mind. New Jersey accident number nine. Rhode Island
checks in at number nine. Top state for young excuse me,
lung health number.
Speaker 8 (31:43):
Eight Connecticut, and I still cannot spell that state that
or Massachusetts to this day.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
I always get it wrong. Always Number seven South Dakota.
That sounds about right, But check out number six. California
(32:15):
comes in at number six. I'm not ever going to
get COPD or lum cancer according to this. How do
we beat out South Dakota. You think the air would
be better in South Dakota, right, Yes.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
We've been cleaning up. We've been cleaning up.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Number five Nebraska, Number four Maryland. I can see that.
If you've ever been to.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Maryland, the amount of greenery all over that state, it's
almost rural.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
You would think that it isn't, but it very much so.
Is three.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
New Mexico. I can see that. I spend a little
time there. My wife's from New Mexico. Number two of
the top ten states for lung health. I thought this
state would have been number one, Hawaii, but it's not.
And coming in at number one of the top ten
(33:28):
states for lung health.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Colorado. Yeah, with all that we spoke, Yeah, Plus it's
it's the elevation, that's true. That's true.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
I got very quickly the bottom ten states for lung health.
I won't do the drum roll, but they're pretty predictable.
Coming at number ten. Working our way down Kentucky, you
may notice a pattern here, Number nine Mississippi, Number eight Louisiana.
(34:12):
Anyone noticed the pattern yet? But to make of this
number seven Tennessee? Number six Nevada.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
You don't know how much they smoke in Nevada.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Yeah, yeah, I'm surprised it's not number five Michigan.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
That kind of surprises me.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Number four Pennsylvania, Number three Alaska at tracks yeah, I
can see that, Number two Ohio, and coming in at
number one.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
Any guesses Mark? Any guesses mark for the worst? Yes,
it's got to be someplace in the South. Let's say, uh, Louisiana.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
No, that was number eight. Oh sorry, I'm gonna listen.
Next show.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
The worst state in the Union for lung health Indiana?
Whoa really?
Speaker 2 (35:12):
Really? I believe it? Yeah? I lived there. I smelled
it there. Yeah. Wow. Ohio in some parts of Pennsylvania. Yeah, elast.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
It kind of shocked me though, because it's just I
figured it's so cold it would kind of keep the
contamination down.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
I have no idea, I think. Don't they smoke a
lot in Alaska?
Speaker 3 (35:31):
Aren't there factory like like oil refinements and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
All that?
Speaker 4 (35:37):
If you can see Russia from your house you've got
to smoke just to deal with the stress.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Look, I should tell you about some of the interesting
mail I got in my social media this week.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
And I tell you you mean that at mister Kelly. Yes, yes, okay,
I'll tell you about it later. Oh.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
By the way, Twala has an admirer in the YouTube chat.
It sure does. Oh do tell who is this Laurie C.
I'm not going to give her last name. Laurie C.
Laurie in Motown.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
Says to Wallace hot Well, thank you, Laurie C. In Motown.
I appreciate the compliment. I truly do.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
