Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Chris Maryland from O Kelly Tonight KFI AM six forty,
listen anytime on demand of the I Heart Radio app.
Let's see MO out Tonight, MO out, Tomorrow, MO out, Friday,
MO out, Monday, MO out Tuesday, MO went He Really
he did a heck of a job. He backed U
right up to the holiday, didn't he good job? And
(00:27):
also today is National Radio Day, which is cool, But
I mean, of all the times of year, there are
really two times that radio people leave work. First that
week after Christmas, fair to say, fellas, that is when
you hear more of me because all the full timers
have ski daddled, they're using up the last of their
(00:49):
vacation time and they're just they forget it. That's a
week of purgatory. They're out. And then I would say
end of summer is when everybody else in the radio
tries to squeeze in a vacation. You know, Tim Conway Jr.
He's out. Mo's out. So I feel like National Radio
Day should probably move to they may sometime that you know,
one of the important ratings books is being surveyed. That's
(01:11):
when that's when National Radio Day should be. That's when
you get the heavy hitters and you don't get stuck
with schlubs like me.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
No, you're not a slub, and stop being dull down yourself.
Own your cell phone?
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Did you? You're a nice guy. I love you for that.
You see that the CEO of Target quit. Guy's been
there for eleven years? He quit? Wow? Hey you should
they play sucks now? Wow? Really? Wait a minute, hold on,
hold on, wait a minute. I'm really curious about this, Talla.
Why does Target suck? Now? Is it for me? That
(01:49):
is this?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
This this is beyond just their whole DEI issue, which if.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
It was politically motivated or that, that's the whole nother thing.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
I used to really really, uh really like shopping at
Tarje and now when I go there is literally nothing there,
and the things that are there are priced so high
in comparison to other places. I'm like, why in the
hell am I here? Like I can get better just
down the street at the Walmart. Like Target is really
(02:17):
really bad, and every single time I go in there,
it's like, hey, it says online you have X, Y
and Z, and it's like Oh no, yeah, no, we don't.
And I'm like, there's dust on stuff there. And maybe
it's the targets that I go to.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
I go to.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Maybe there's like three targets in Granada Hills, but they suck.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Now you are not alone. In fact, according to the AP,
customers have complained of messy stores with merchandise that did
not reflect the expensive looking but budget priced Nietzsch that
long ago earned the retailer the jokingly posh nicknamed Tarja.
I agree, like Walmart is cheap, but you felt like
the stuff was cheap. Target was a little more expensive,
(02:56):
but you felt like you got a little more of
what you paid for, right, yes, And now now it
doesn't feel that way at all. So part of this
has to do with the politics. They saw, you know,
boycotts or whatever, and people wanted to I don't understand why.
I don't understand why your lamp has now got to
be GOP or Democrat approved. It makes no sense to
(03:17):
me at all. Whatever, But what did Oh they support diversity,
equity and inclusion. How dare they? Oh, they don't support it?
Hold it, just buy a lamp? Okay that And then
the other thing is starting to hit people is the tariffs.
And you're starting to see the tariffs are starting to
they're starting to hike prices. And VACCNN was talking about
(03:38):
where things are going up. And while companies were biting
the bullet for a while, at some point they decide
we're not going broke over over this.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
This is a major expansion of tariffs, and it's one
that impacts items on store shelves across the country. Now,
as you might remember, a few months ago, the president
slapped a fifty percent tariff on steel and aluminum. Originally,
this massive tariff applied to just the raw materials, but
now it is going to apply to a wide range
(04:09):
of goods that contain steel and aluminum. This impacts all right.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
First of all, the information he's providing is really good.
But he's also doing this thing that I've heard other
broadcasters do where they pick random words to emphasize. Are
you hearing this? Just listen as he gives this this report,
and he'll go and they are picking on random things
in order to steal aluminum.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
You just talk, dude, more than four hundred product categories.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
You can't emphasize every word or else there is no emphasis.
If everything is special, nothing special.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Might be thinking, why should I care about steel and
aluminum terrafs, Well, it turns out a lot of the
items that we all own contain a lot of steel
and aluminum. This is going to impact everything from as
you mean mentioned butter knives, but also baby strollers, spray deodorant,
fire extinguishers.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Baby strollers, spraydiodorant, fire extinguishers, basically your entire emergency kit,
and furniture.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
All of these items are now going to be more
expensive to import into the United States. But also some
industrial items are impacted too, like wind turbines, cranes, bulldozers,
also rail cars, and it does make you sort of
wonder how massive tariffs on all of those industrial items
are going to impact the president's goals of trying to
(05:38):
have American energy dominance.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
And Okay, I can't listen to him anymore, but he
has really good points. So it's not even just the
things that you buy, it's the things that make the
things that you buy. It's the behind the scenes, right.
So you want, okay, there's a new store opening, but
that new store has to be built, and that new
store has to be built by construction workers who have
to have tools, and those tools are coming from China,
(06:02):
where parts in the tools are coming from China, and
as a result that the cost of the tools has
gone up, which means the cost of your quote goes up,
which means that the cost of the building goes up,
which means the cost of the overhead goes up, which
means the cost of your goods that are being sold
inside in order to cover the overhead goes up. Everything
goes up, even if it's not something that is directly tariffed.
Is indirectly tariffed, for instance, your breakfast.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Eva Oat shows us what's left of the oil she
uses to deep fry her vegan donuts. She makes sure
to use every single drop powder.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Sugar is doubling price, oil is doubling price.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
It's like everything just keep going up and up.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
Her donut shop is among about seven hundred here in
La County, according to yelp. Well, but unlike most who
buy donuts from a distributor, she makes her as fresh
each day at three am.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Oh gotta make the donuts.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
Oh it's so good, And she says the cost of
those ingredients have been on the rise with inflation first
and now terrors currently up been our price for a
donut to about four.
Speaker 7 (07:02):
Bucks, telling me, oh, you can use like avocado oil,
you know, like these are the oils.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
But I'm like, then.
Speaker 7 (07:11):
I may have to charge you ten dollars a donut.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Wow, four dollars of don It sounds crazy. I mean
fifty bucks for a dozen donuts. Really, it's insanity. That
is insanity. Oh, I don't like this at all. I
thought we were I thought that inflation was supposed to
come down day one. I thought groceries were coming, which
(07:38):
is the word nobody uses. Nobody uses the word groceries.
I've really brought that word back. Nobody nobody really used.
But I have brought groceries. Nobody knew what that word was.
They weren't even using it. But I started using the
word groceries. And now everybody is. Before they used to
just go to the supermarket, now they go to the
grocery store thanks to me. So what was that word again,
It's groceries. Yeah, a lot of people have never even
(07:58):
heard that word before, but I I I basically put
it into America's lexicon. So now we got to even
things like donuts are going up in cost, And so
how does Target, Targe compete. They're trying to keep their
prices down, but they have I would call it what
mid products. That was always their thing. Like listen, you're
not getting fancy crap at Target, but you're also not
getting bottom of the barrel Dollar Store, Walmart reject stuff
(08:20):
at Target. Either. You're always getting like Miss. It's starting
to get there though, But that's what I'm saying. It
is because either their prices have to go up or
they gotta start selling crappier stuff. And that's what happens.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Yeah, the stuff that the stuff that used to be
like you'd walk by it and go, hey, that's cool,
like for like my elephant gifts and stuff like that.
Now it's almost like they've secretly done some deal with
like Dollar General or Fast but five from Below and
they have all that product in and putting it on
the normal Target shelves, and I'm like, I know crap
(08:52):
when I see it.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Doesn't. Target need to go one way. They need to
go one way or the other. Right, Yeah, either be
your low end discount crap store or flip and start
charging prices, but bring in even higher quality products. I mean,
it can't be their model for being in the middle
right now just isn't working.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
I went to Target because I wanted better than Walmart.
Now I'm beating like some sneaky pick and save type
stuff that's in there, and I'm like, Target, you can't
follow me, man, sneaky.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Pick and save every man's nightmare. Absolutely shout out by
the way to NBCLA for the report on the donuts,
take me to the doughnut shop. All right, if you
are looking for a mate, there's one thing that you
have to keep in mind, and you have to watch
very carefully because this could make or break your relationship.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
That is next you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly
on demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Chris Maryland from O Kelly CAFI AM six forty Live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Normally you'll catch me doing
a show on Sundays, but this week in for Moe
and so I have this opportunity not only talking about this,
but also to remind you that Gary and Shannon are
broadcasting tomorrow morning starting at nine from BJ's Restaurant brew House,
Hunting to Beach one sixty sixty Beach Boulevard. That's all
(10:11):
I'm gonna say the editor. It's one sixty sixty Beach Boulevard.
Come on down for your chance to win surprizes like
Bjay's gift cards, Dodgers and Chargers tickets, and Gary and
Shannon swag Ie. It's going out to BJ's restaurant brew
House Hunting Beach tomorrow. So normally I'm in on Sunday afternoons,
which I just love doing. The show gets me out
of doing a lot of crap my wife wants me
(10:31):
to do on the weekends. And then if there's something
I really want to do, then I'll take a week off,
which is super and I am so appreciative of everybody
for allowing me to do that. But otherwise it's a
perfect excuse to get out of doing stuff. But at
the end of that show, I have a very brief
moment that I get to talk with doctor Wendy Walsh.
If you haven't caught her show, she's on at seven
(10:51):
o'clock on Sundays, and Doctor Wendy does Doctor Wendy after Dark,
where she talks about relationships. It's sort of human evolution
and how our minds work. To all of you guys,
had the opportunity to talk with doctor Wendy before because
she's pretty dynamite and stuff. Well we were on on Saturdays. Yeah, okay,
so I was. I always I say, look, one of
the highlights of the entire weekend is just the five
minutes I spend talking with her, and I always try
(11:13):
to have something ready to go. And there's a good
chance this weekend I'll bring this up as well. Because
when you think of trying to find that perfect mate,
what is one thing that is incredibly important? What is it?
I don't know, you know, but one thing that is Mark?
Does Mark wrunning on this or is he busy shopping
(11:33):
his target catalog? Okay, what's important? Uh? What's the one
thing that's really important? When the most important thing when
it comes to finding that relationship?
Speaker 3 (11:42):
And nay, see you go digit machine and window broken
saying see you go.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Digit now, Robin, when it came to you and and
your wife, you were like, Wow, you're hot and you
have a lot of money, right, come on, that's what
I did. I was like, that makes sense.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
That's why I'm like single? Is that because I didn't
go for money first. I'll start trying to think of
like being able to talk, you know.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
You're so dumb. You're so dumb. This is I mean,
that's that's you're You're a you're a true person. You
are an incredibly honest and authentic individual. Unfortunately, part of
that authenticity is that you're just dumb. I can't let
me tell you what happened when I met my wife.
(12:35):
So my wife was desperate, all right. She was in
her early thirties, she had three kids, she had recently
gotten divorced. And I come along. I am an unattractive guy.
I was in my mid twenties, was younger than her,
and I was broke. She had money, but she needed
somebody who was fun, kind of the opposite of her
ex husband. And she wasn't so worried about whether or
not I could provide money, because she had enough that
(12:57):
she was she had a pretty good job. She was
concerned about somebody that could provide emotional support for her family.
Chut ching, Boom. I cashed in love it. Twenty one
years later, she's still the breadwinner. Boom. Now it's very
upsetting to her because she thought at some point that
I would show that I have some sort of an
aptitude to make money. She's wrong. It's called hypergamy. Are
(13:20):
you familiar with hypergamy? Some call it marrying up, others
call it gold digging, and that is creating a long
term a romantic relationship with somebody who has higher status
in a certain way or of value. And so this
has become a thing now, I guess that. Of course,
since we have social media, everybody's talking about how miserable
(13:40):
people are who marry for money. In fact, I found
this dude who was doing this podcast called come On
Man podcast, and he played a brief snippet of a
woman who was regretting her decision a few years ago.
Speaker 8 (13:53):
I thought that I had it all and there was
something missing from my life.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
So this cute girl, by the way.
Speaker 8 (14:01):
I did things with the guy who treated me like
a princess and would have been the best husband to me,
and I started chasing this feeling that was never matched.
Speaker 9 (14:17):
That unexplained feeling.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
This is the dude from the come On Man podcast
that she could do better.
Speaker 9 (14:24):
That's called hypergamme. Yes, red pill guys have been talking.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
About it for years. I don't know what that is.
What is a red pill guy? Sounds like some type
of matrix thing. I don't know, though it sounds to
me like a okay, I know, yeah, you're right.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
You take the booty, they're going to be broke, or
you take the red pill and you can go and
live in the rich world.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
That's okay, But okay, here it is. Uh, it's controversial ideology.
You're right, it does originate with matrix. Youre a hundredercent
correct promotes toxic masculinity and anti feminism, particularly within certain
online communities. Oh, insults, Okay, red pill guys. Individuals who
identify as red pill guys. Thanks, thank you to bing
(15:05):
by the way for coming up with the answer typically
advocate for misguided approach to dating and gender roles, viewing
women through the lens of skepticism and entitlement. Uh. Signs
that a man may be deep into red pill thinking
include extreme views on masculinity, disdain for feminism, and a
belief in male superiority. Okay, all right, yeah, yeah, that's insultent, right, Okay.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Jerks, I mean there's there's also jerks. Right, that was
a bad pill to take.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Well, the red pill gives you the choice. You can
see reality if you take the red pill. No, that
was the blue pill.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
The blue pill is the one where you can break
free of the matrix, which was that sick, twisted society
that you're caught up in.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
I was thinking of a different blue pill. But all right,
that's a that's a difference. Y see. I have nothing
witty to say to that. Very good. I appreciate you, Robin,
very good. All right. So he says that dudes are like, oh,
women are so dumb.
Speaker 9 (16:00):
It's the woman's biological need to always look for the
best possible meat.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
You can find.
Speaker 9 (16:08):
Yeah, a lot of women are always looking to trade up.
It's biology, it's psychology, it's in their DNA, it's science.
It's also one of the reasons why a lot of
modern women will never be truly happy.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Oh yeah, damn yeah, wow yeah. All right. So the
guy from the Come On Man podcast says women will
never truly be happy because they value money. What he's
missing is the reason that people try to marry up
is about security, right, It's about stability. It's not about
I want to have more money, I want to be
(16:42):
I want to have more time on the yachts or
whatever else it is. It's about marrying security. What the
what's the name of that podcast? Again? Come on man?
I feel like the placement of the comma might be important. Well, okay,
also said you used bing Yeah, I binged it alphas.
(17:03):
Don't use binged it you no alphaa? What is above
an alpha? That's me? You think? Yes, exactly right right,
very good?
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Below it right?
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Something below it? An alpha? Yeah? No, no, no, no, no no.
Alpha is supposed to be the top dog and I'm
above that. So whatever's above alpha? Yeah, I'm a I'm
a gen X. So take that gen alpha stick it
in your pipe. By the way, speaking of generations, how
about the boo Z generation? That is next.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Forty AM six forty more stimulating talk Chris Marland from
o Kelly Tonight. Listen anytime on demand the iHeart Radio app.
Make sure you joined Gary and Shannon tomorrow, broadcasting live
starting at nine am from BJ's Restaurant Brew House in
Huntington Beach one sixty sixty Beach Boulevard. Come out down
for your chance to win surprises like bja's gift cards,
(18:05):
Dodgers and Chargers tickets, and Gary and Shannon swag. There
you go. I would be there if I could, but
I had real job. Darn it. There was a rite
of passage when we were young, and that was when
we had our first sip of alcohol. I don't know
if you remember it. Some of you first sip of
alcohol was a gateway to misery throughout the rest of
(18:26):
your teens in early twenties. I to be honest, and
never found myself intoxicated until I was twenty nine years old.
And for a guy who was is not something. For
a guy who's kind of a loudmouth, you would have
thought that I would have imboded earlier on. But I
always thought one I was a bit of a goodie
two shoes, and two I was afraid. I was afraid, Yeah,
(18:54):
I was. I was afraid that if I drank, I
was already lacking in aibition to begin with. Right, I
was the guy that would do anything you could, you know,
eat this off the floor, go lick that random person's face.
You know. I would do that kind of stuff, which
now I think would be sexual assault, But back in
the nineties it was just normal. And now I was
(19:15):
concerned that if I had alcohol, I would do something
that could potentially get me harmed or arrested. And Lord knows,
I did both of those things without needing alcohol to
get me to that point. So imagine how bad it
would have been with alcohol. So I was always worried
about it. Now I'm finding out that I was just
ahead of my time. Gen Z is backing off of
(19:37):
a number of alcohols. In fact, all of America's starting
to rethink alcohol were not drinking as much as we
were now. Gen Z for a long time was sort
of identified as the generation that was assuaging alcohol altogether.
Gen Z was the sober generation that's starting to change.
Diaggio is one of the big distributors and one of
(19:59):
the big manufacturer that make smirnoff ice to make Guinness,
that kind of thing. And Diagio says, now gen Z
is still drinking. It's just that we have to find
the right spirit for them. And this is pretty normal.
This is not a new concept in the in the nineties.
You remember when Bartles and James was the big thing
to wala. You probably remember that stuff and what was it.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Zeema zema, But you know in the hood it was
Boons Farm.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Oh okay, there you go, all right, yeah, my my, all.
My contemporary white girl high school friends. They were all
trying to get the zemas right. But I wasn't drinking anything,
so I wasn't paying attention to any of them. Wow right, yeah,
now what is it? Now? What is it? Young white
girls are all drinking white claws? Is there something I have?
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Because I was like a full blown alcoholic for a
long while. Yeah, I have not had a drink and
now going on over twenty years.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Wow anymore? I don't know yet.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
I don't even think that with people to drink because
I still get the thirst.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Man, Oh you do. The temptation is still there. Oh man,
I get that. That's interesting.
Speaker 6 (21:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
I work with two guys in my real job that
neither one of them has ever had a drop of alcohol,
God bless them. Well, I thought, how do you even
do that? At some point, somebody hands you a drink
and you don't realize it until after you take a
sip that you go, oh, that's got that's not what
I want it, right, that's got something in it, like
you're at a party or something like.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
They probably don't go to parties. No, you don't go
to parties and also avoid alcohol.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Well one of them, okay, well one of them goes
to strip clubs four nights a week, and the other.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
One no, no, now now they do now.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
They do now. But he's still never had a drop
of alcohol in his life. And yeah, yeah, and the
other guy is like a he's like a he's like
he travels around the country doing sports on the weekends.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Your friend that goes to strip clubs, does he go
with bibles passing them out?
Speaker 2 (21:49):
No? No, he's not duck. Okay, yeah, he's a gem.
I love the man. He's such a walking uh enigma,
I suppose. So anyway, gen Z is they are starting
to find their footing. And I don't know if that's
alcohol or there's alcohol obviously, I don't know if that's
white claw or what it is that's bringing them in.
(22:10):
CBS was just talking about the overall alcohol sales though
are down, and why is that.
Speaker 7 (22:16):
New polling from Gallup shows the number of Americans who
drink alcohol is going down. Fifty four percent of American
adults say they drink alcohol, and it's important because that
is the lowest number recorded in the history of this pole. Meanwhile,
in increasing Tuala.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
You're kind of like setting a trend right now. People
are one I want to be like Twala, he's cool.
Speaker 7 (22:39):
The number of Americans say that drinking alcohol, even in moderation,
is bad for your health. Aaron Phillips joins us now
she's an assistant professor at the University of Illinois Chicago
School of Public Health, And Aaron, thanks for being with us.
It was a really interesting poll here at can't we
talk about how americans drinking habits have changed since the pandemic?
I feel like especially those days listen still and folks
(23:03):
just started going evening off with some nice whiskey.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
All right, journalism one on one, keep your questions shortened
to the point. Ron Or backed me up on this.
Is there anything worse than a journalist that makes a
question like a minute and a half long? No, I
nodded off halfway through what she was asking? So bad
and get to the point. There is today's national radio day.
There is a national radio host who I think is
one of the absolute best in the business. I mean,
(23:28):
he is so good. But if there's one Achilles heels
that his questions just drag on and I go, come on, dude,
The rest of the show is so good. You've got
guests every hour and you ask them these questions were
you opine for two minutes? Ironically, the question made me
want to drink, right, yeah, it made Twala want to drink.
He hasn't touched anything in twenty years. No, this is serious.
Speaker 6 (23:49):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely. We definitely found increase in drinking during
the pandemic, and particularly drinking frequent fy so people drinking
more days or more drinks per drinking day, and the
percentage of people who are drinking outside of recommended guidelines.
And then since then, we really seem drinking be pretty stable.
In these big national survey bit track drinking over time,
(24:10):
there's been some slight decreases, but adults who were twenty
five and older have been drinking pretty stably since.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
About twenty twenty one.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
So this decree that we're seeing in the gallopl is
really encouraging.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Now here's what's interesting. Molson Cores says, people are still drinking,
but there's a reason that they're drinking less. I'll tell
you what that reason is in just a few moments.

what goes on behind the scenes, because I have been
bombarding Robin with all of my best guilty pleasure song
ungs off the air, and I keep singing to her
(25:03):
because we found out that Robin doesn't like the banger
that is Pink Pony Club and Twala. You and I
are both astonished by this, right, and even even Mark
was in it. Mark was even dancing the Pink Pony
Club when we were and she said she was trying
to find raw audio of me singing Pink Pony Club
(25:23):
without the without the music bet under it. Hmmm, yeah,
sounds like war Well. I was just thinking, maybe I
just sing it four now you could? I could. Now.
The question is do I sing it like I always
do in my perfect falsetto? Oh no, I give her
more of a baritone version.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Nah, the baritone is gonna make it like you're not
being serious. I think the false settle. Lets it be known.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
That's because that's how I sing it when I'm in
the car. Yeah. Absolutely so, God, what have you done?
Speaker 10 (25:53):
You're a Pink Pony girl and you dance at the club.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Mama, just having fun.
Speaker 10 (26:03):
Staging my heels is where I've been long down at the.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Pink Pony Club.
Speaker 10 (26:10):
I'm gonna keep bone dancing at the Pink Pony Club.
I'm gonna keep bone dancing down in West Hollywood. I'm
gonna keep bone dancing at the Pink Bony Club.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Pink Club. We are good, Yes, we are good.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Robin no app come on.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
National Radio Day, Ladies in general, National Radio Day. That
was good, Yes, it was. That's for you. Rob. Let
me tell you what's gonna happen. Before the end of
the show. We're gonna get a phone call from somebody
that wants us to come perform that live after. Somebody's
gonna go. They're gonna go, Yes, they're gonna go. We
want Pink Pony Club, Ebony and Ivory. You guys come
(26:54):
to Pink Pony Club for us. That's gonna happen. Boom
in a prison someplace, perhaps that's fine. Hey, the gig
is a gig.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
You think prisoners won't applaud that, Oh well they will will.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Yes, you'll be quite popular there. I'm kind of that
We're going in costume. Yes pretty good, Yes, all right, Robin,
careful what you wish for? Hey, I was talking about
this before that before we got our news update there
from Mark, and that is that Moulsen Core says that
people are still in fact drinking, especially after they listen
to my singing. They say people are drinking. The reason
(27:30):
that alcohol consumption may be down, however, is because they're sad. Yeah,
I mean not exactly. What they say though, is that
there are economic pressures on some of the effects, like
the illumitivem terrffs. Right, so they got illumitive tariffs, prices go.
If people go, I can't afford beer, so I'm not
(27:51):
gonna drink. But they still want to drink. They still
want that good time. Right. When you think of alcohol,
whenever you see a beer ad, you never see a
beer out of somebody saying pound eight of these before
you go to bed every night for a great hangover
and maybe you'll even crap the bed. That doesn't happen.
There's no truth in advertising when it comes to beer, right. Instead,
(28:15):
what they do is it's always like crack into this
one and have a good time. When you're at a
football game, you have to have a bud light. Oh,
when you want refreshment, you want the rocky mountains. It's
always about selling the sizzle, not the actual steak, right,
It's all about the feel of what happens when you
have that beer in your hand. The problem, however, is that,
according to Molson, course, people don't have as many occasions
(28:37):
to celebrate. So while we've always associated alcohol with parties
or celebration or gatherings or social outings, as people are
starting to cut back on those events, those activities, they're
not finding the occasion to drink. Boy, if that is
not an indicator that the economy is headed down the
wrong path, I don't know what it is. That's a
(28:58):
bad sign for society. You know the Homer Simpson quote,
don't you, Chris go on alcohol the cause of and
solution two all of life's problems, all of life's problems. Yeah,
I mean that's it's it's a bit too on the
nose for me, but it is one hundred percent correct. Yep,
absolutely true, absolutely true. Okay, let me see are we
(29:19):
doing on time here? We short on this see for
this segment we did sing Pink Pony Club National Radio
Day talk about beer. Now, I've got nothing else. You
guys have anything else, you would have thrown this segment? Good?
All right, very good? Like that. Chris Maryland from okelledy
Night kf I AM six forty. We live everywhere in
(29:39):

Speaker 2 (29:47):
More stimulating talk
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Chris Maryland from O Kelly Tonight KFI AM six forty,
listen anytime on demand of the I Heart Radio app.
Let's see MO out Tonight, MO out, Tomorrow, MO out, Friday,
MO out, Monday, MO out Tuesday, MO went He Really
he did a heck of a job. He backed U
right up to the holiday, didn't he good job? And
(00:27):
also today is National Radio Day, which is cool, But
I mean, of all the times of year, there are
really two times that radio people leave work. First that
week after Christmas, fair to say, fellas, that is when
you hear more of me because all the full timers
have ski daddled, they're using up the last of their
(00:49):
vacation time and they're just they forget it. That's a
week of purgatory. They're out. And then I would say
end of summer is when everybody else in the radio
tries to squeeze in a vacation. You know, Tim Conway Jr.
He's out. Mo's out. So I feel like National Radio
Day should probably move to they may sometime that you know,
one of the important ratings books is being surveyed. That's
(01:11):
when that's when National Radio Day should be. That's when
you get the heavy hitters and you don't get stuck
with schlubs like me.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
No, you're not a slub, and stop being dull down yourself.
Own your cell phone?
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Did you? You're a nice guy. I love you for that.
You see that the CEO of Target quit. Guy's been
there for eleven years? He quit? Wow? Hey you should
they play sucks now? Wow? Really? Wait a minute, hold on,
hold on, wait a minute. I'm really curious about this, Talla.
Why does Target suck? Now? Is it for me? That
(01:49):
is this?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
This this is beyond just their whole DEI issue, which if.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
It was politically motivated or that, that's the whole nother thing.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
I used to really really, uh really like shopping at
Tarje and now when I go there is literally nothing there,
and the things that are there are priced so high
in comparison to other places. I'm like, why in the
hell am I here? Like I can get better just
down the street at the Walmart. Like Target is really
(02:17):
really bad, and every single time I go in there,
it's like, hey, it says online you have X, Y
and Z, and it's like Oh no, yeah, no, we don't.
And I'm like, there's dust on stuff there. And maybe
it's the targets that I go to.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
I go to.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Maybe there's like three targets in Granada Hills, but they suck.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Now you are not alone. In fact, according to the AP,
customers have complained of messy stores with merchandise that did
not reflect the expensive looking but budget priced Nietzsch that
long ago earned the retailer the jokingly posh nicknamed Tarja.
I agree, like Walmart is cheap, but you felt like
the stuff was cheap. Target was a little more expensive,
(02:56):
but you felt like you got a little more of
what you paid for, right, yes, And now now it
doesn't feel that way at all. So part of this
has to do with the politics. They saw, you know,
boycotts or whatever, and people wanted to I don't understand why.
I don't understand why your lamp has now got to
be GOP or Democrat approved. It makes no sense to
(03:17):
me at all. Whatever, But what did Oh they support diversity,
equity and inclusion. How dare they? Oh, they don't support it?
Hold it, just buy a lamp? Okay that And then
the other thing is starting to hit people is the tariffs.
And you're starting to see the tariffs are starting to
they're starting to hike prices. And VACCNN was talking about
(03:38):
where things are going up. And while companies were biting
the bullet for a while, at some point they decide
we're not going broke over over this.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
This is a major expansion of tariffs, and it's one
that impacts items on store shelves across the country. Now,
as you might remember, a few months ago, the president
slapped a fifty percent tariff on steel and aluminum. Originally,
this massive tariff applied to just the raw materials, but
now it is going to apply to a wide range
(04:09):
of goods that contain steel and aluminum. This impacts all right.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
First of all, the information he's providing is really good.
But he's also doing this thing that I've heard other
broadcasters do where they pick random words to emphasize. Are
you hearing this? Just listen as he gives this this report,
and he'll go and they are picking on random things
in order to steal aluminum.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
You just talk, dude, more than four hundred product categories.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
You can't emphasize every word or else there is no emphasis.
If everything is special, nothing special.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Might be thinking, why should I care about steel and
aluminum terrafs, Well, it turns out a lot of the
items that we all own contain a lot of steel
and aluminum. This is going to impact everything from as
you mean mentioned butter knives, but also baby strollers, spray deodorant,
fire extinguishers.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Baby strollers, spraydiodorant, fire extinguishers, basically your entire emergency kit,
and furniture.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
All of these items are now going to be more
expensive to import into the United States. But also some
industrial items are impacted too, like wind turbines, cranes, bulldozers,
also rail cars, and it does make you sort of
wonder how massive tariffs on all of those industrial items
are going to impact the president's goals of trying to
(05:38):
have American energy dominance.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
And Okay, I can't listen to him anymore, but he
has really good points. So it's not even just the
things that you buy, it's the things that make the
things that you buy. It's the behind the scenes, right.
So you want, okay, there's a new store opening, but
that new store has to be built, and that new
store has to be built by construction workers who have
to have tools, and those tools are coming from China,
(06:02):
where parts in the tools are coming from China, and
as a result that the cost of the tools has
gone up, which means the cost of your quote goes up,
which means that the cost of the building goes up,
which means the cost of the overhead goes up, which
means the cost of your goods that are being sold
inside in order to cover the overhead goes up. Everything
goes up, even if it's not something that is directly tariffed.
Is indirectly tariffed, for instance, your breakfast.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Eva Oat shows us what's left of the oil she
uses to deep fry her vegan donuts. She makes sure
to use every single drop powder.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Sugar is doubling price, oil is doubling price.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
It's like everything just keep going up and up.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
Her donut shop is among about seven hundred here in
La County, according to yelp. Well, but unlike most who
buy donuts from a distributor, she makes her as fresh
each day at three am.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Oh gotta make the donuts.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
Oh it's so good, And she says the cost of
those ingredients have been on the rise with inflation first
and now terrors currently up been our price for a
donut to about four.
Speaker 7 (07:02):
Bucks, telling me, oh, you can use like avocado oil,
you know, like these are the oils.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
But I'm like, then.
Speaker 7 (07:11):
I may have to charge you ten dollars a donut.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Wow, four dollars of don It sounds crazy. I mean
fifty bucks for a dozen donuts. Really, it's insanity. That
is insanity. Oh, I don't like this at all. I
thought we were I thought that inflation was supposed to
come down day one. I thought groceries were coming, which
(07:38):
is the word nobody uses. Nobody uses the word groceries.
I've really brought that word back. Nobody nobody really used.
But I have brought groceries. Nobody knew what that word was.
They weren't even using it. But I started using the
word groceries. And now everybody is. Before they used to
just go to the supermarket, now they go to the
grocery store thanks to me. So what was that word again,
It's groceries. Yeah, a lot of people have never even
(07:58):
heard that word before, but I I I basically put
it into America's lexicon. So now we got to even
things like donuts are going up in cost, And so
how does Target, Targe compete. They're trying to keep their
prices down, but they have I would call it what
mid products. That was always their thing. Like listen, you're
not getting fancy crap at Target, but you're also not
getting bottom of the barrel Dollar Store, Walmart reject stuff
(08:20):
at Target. Either. You're always getting like Miss. It's starting
to get there though, But that's what I'm saying. It
is because either their prices have to go up or
they gotta start selling crappier stuff. And that's what happens.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Yeah, the stuff that the stuff that used to be
like you'd walk by it and go, hey, that's cool,
like for like my elephant gifts and stuff like that.
Now it's almost like they've secretly done some deal with
like Dollar General or Fast but five from Below and
they have all that product in and putting it on
the normal Target shelves, and I'm like, I know crap
(08:52):
when I see it.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Doesn't. Target need to go one way. They need to
go one way or the other. Right, Yeah, either be
your low end discount crap store or flip and start
charging prices, but bring in even higher quality products. I mean,
it can't be their model for being in the middle
right now just isn't working.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
I went to Target because I wanted better than Walmart.
Now I'm beating like some sneaky pick and save type
stuff that's in there, and I'm like, Target, you can't
follow me, man, sneaky.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Pick and save every man's nightmare. Absolutely shout out by
the way to NBCLA for the report on the donuts,
take me to the doughnut shop. All right, if you
are looking for a mate, there's one thing that you
have to keep in mind, and you have to watch
very carefully because this could make or break your relationship.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
That is next you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly
on demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Chris Maryland from O Kelly CAFI AM six forty Live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Normally you'll catch me doing
a show on Sundays, but this week in for Moe
and so I have this opportunity not only talking about this,
but also to remind you that Gary and Shannon are
broadcasting tomorrow morning starting at nine from BJ's Restaurant brew House,
Hunting to Beach one sixty sixty Beach Boulevard. That's all
(10:11):
I'm gonna say the editor. It's one sixty sixty Beach Boulevard.
Come on down for your chance to win surprizes like
Bjay's gift cards, Dodgers and Chargers tickets, and Gary and
Shannon swag Ie. It's going out to BJ's restaurant brew
House Hunting Beach tomorrow. So normally I'm in on Sunday afternoons,
which I just love doing. The show gets me out
of doing a lot of crap my wife wants me
(10:31):
to do on the weekends. And then if there's something
I really want to do, then I'll take a week off,
which is super and I am so appreciative of everybody
for allowing me to do that. But otherwise it's a
perfect excuse to get out of doing stuff. But at
the end of that show, I have a very brief
moment that I get to talk with doctor Wendy Walsh.
If you haven't caught her show, she's on at seven
(10:51):
o'clock on Sundays, and Doctor Wendy does Doctor Wendy after Dark,
where she talks about relationships. It's sort of human evolution
and how our minds work. To all of you guys,
had the opportunity to talk with doctor Wendy before because
she's pretty dynamite and stuff. Well we were on on Saturdays. Yeah, okay,
so I was. I always I say, look, one of
the highlights of the entire weekend is just the five
minutes I spend talking with her, and I always try
(11:13):
to have something ready to go. And there's a good
chance this weekend I'll bring this up as well. Because
when you think of trying to find that perfect mate,
what is one thing that is incredibly important? What is it?
I don't know, you know, but one thing that is Mark?
Does Mark wrunning on this or is he busy shopping
(11:33):
his target catalog? Okay, what's important? Uh? What's the one
thing that's really important? When the most important thing when
it comes to finding that relationship?
Speaker 3 (11:42):
And nay, see you go digit machine and window broken
saying see you go.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Digit now, Robin, when it came to you and and
your wife, you were like, Wow, you're hot and you
have a lot of money, right, come on, that's what
I did. I was like, that makes sense.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
That's why I'm like single? Is that because I didn't
go for money first. I'll start trying to think of
like being able to talk, you know.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
You're so dumb. You're so dumb. This is I mean,
that's that's you're You're a you're a true person. You
are an incredibly honest and authentic individual. Unfortunately, part of
that authenticity is that you're just dumb. I can't let
me tell you what happened when I met my wife.
(12:35):
So my wife was desperate, all right. She was in
her early thirties, she had three kids, she had recently
gotten divorced. And I come along. I am an unattractive guy.
I was in my mid twenties, was younger than her,
and I was broke. She had money, but she needed
somebody who was fun, kind of the opposite of her
ex husband. And she wasn't so worried about whether or
not I could provide money, because she had enough that
(12:57):
she was she had a pretty good job. She was
concerned about somebody that could provide emotional support for her family.
Chut ching, Boom. I cashed in love it. Twenty one
years later, she's still the breadwinner. Boom. Now it's very
upsetting to her because she thought at some point that
I would show that I have some sort of an
aptitude to make money. She's wrong. It's called hypergamy. Are
(13:20):
you familiar with hypergamy? Some call it marrying up, others
call it gold digging, and that is creating a long
term a romantic relationship with somebody who has higher status
in a certain way or of value. And so this
has become a thing now, I guess that. Of course,
since we have social media, everybody's talking about how miserable
(13:40):
people are who marry for money. In fact, I found
this dude who was doing this podcast called come On
Man podcast, and he played a brief snippet of a
woman who was regretting her decision a few years ago.
Speaker 8 (13:53):
I thought that I had it all and there was
something missing from my life.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
So this cute girl, by the way.
Speaker 8 (14:01):
I did things with the guy who treated me like
a princess and would have been the best husband to me,
and I started chasing this feeling that was never matched.
Speaker 9 (14:17):
That unexplained feeling.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
This is the dude from the come On Man podcast
that she could do better.
Speaker 9 (14:24):
That's called hypergamme. Yes, red pill guys have been talking.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
About it for years. I don't know what that is.
What is a red pill guy? Sounds like some type
of matrix thing. I don't know, though it sounds to
me like a okay, I know, yeah, you're right.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
You take the booty, they're going to be broke, or
you take the red pill and you can go and
live in the rich world.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
That's okay, But okay, here it is. Uh, it's controversial ideology.
You're right, it does originate with matrix. Youre a hundredercent
correct promotes toxic masculinity and anti feminism, particularly within certain
online communities. Oh, insults, Okay, red pill guys. Individuals who
identify as red pill guys. Thanks, thank you to bing
(15:05):
by the way for coming up with the answer typically
advocate for misguided approach to dating and gender roles, viewing
women through the lens of skepticism and entitlement. Uh. Signs
that a man may be deep into red pill thinking
include extreme views on masculinity, disdain for feminism, and a
belief in male superiority. Okay, all right, yeah, yeah, that's insultent, right, Okay.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Jerks, I mean there's there's also jerks. Right, that was
a bad pill to take.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Well, the red pill gives you the choice. You can
see reality if you take the red pill. No, that
was the blue pill.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
The blue pill is the one where you can break
free of the matrix, which was that sick, twisted society
that you're caught up in.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
I was thinking of a different blue pill. But all right,
that's a that's a difference. Y see. I have nothing
witty to say to that. Very good. I appreciate you, Robin,
very good. All right. So he says that dudes are like, oh,
women are so dumb.
Speaker 9 (16:00):
It's the woman's biological need to always look for the
best possible meat.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
You can find.
Speaker 9 (16:08):
Yeah, a lot of women are always looking to trade up.
It's biology, it's psychology, it's in their DNA, it's science.
It's also one of the reasons why a lot of
modern women will never be truly happy.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Oh yeah, damn yeah, wow yeah. All right. So the
guy from the Come On Man podcast says women will
never truly be happy because they value money. What he's
missing is the reason that people try to marry up
is about security, right, It's about stability. It's not about
I want to have more money, I want to be
(16:42):
I want to have more time on the yachts or
whatever else it is. It's about marrying security. What the
what's the name of that podcast? Again? Come on man?
I feel like the placement of the comma might be important. Well, okay,
also said you used bing Yeah, I binged it alphas.
(17:03):
Don't use binged it you no alphaa? What is above
an alpha? That's me? You think? Yes, exactly right right,
very good?
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Below it right?
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Something below it? An alpha? Yeah? No, no, no, no, no no.
Alpha is supposed to be the top dog and I'm
above that. So whatever's above alpha? Yeah, I'm a I'm
a gen X. So take that gen alpha stick it
in your pipe. By the way, speaking of generations, how
about the boo Z generation? That is next.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Forty AM six forty more stimulating talk Chris Marland from
o Kelly Tonight. Listen anytime on demand the iHeart Radio app.
Make sure you joined Gary and Shannon tomorrow, broadcasting live
starting at nine am from BJ's Restaurant Brew House in
Huntington Beach one sixty sixty Beach Boulevard. Come out down
for your chance to win surprises like bja's gift cards,
(18:05):
Dodgers and Chargers tickets, and Gary and Shannon swag. There
you go. I would be there if I could, but
I had real job. Darn it. There was a rite
of passage when we were young, and that was when
we had our first sip of alcohol. I don't know
if you remember it. Some of you first sip of
alcohol was a gateway to misery throughout the rest of
(18:26):
your teens in early twenties. I to be honest, and
never found myself intoxicated until I was twenty nine years old.
And for a guy who was is not something. For
a guy who's kind of a loudmouth, you would have
thought that I would have imboded earlier on. But I
always thought one I was a bit of a goodie
two shoes, and two I was afraid. I was afraid, Yeah,
(18:54):
I was. I was afraid that if I drank, I
was already lacking in aibition to begin with. Right, I
was the guy that would do anything you could, you know,
eat this off the floor, go lick that random person's face.
You know. I would do that kind of stuff, which
now I think would be sexual assault, But back in
the nineties it was just normal. And now I was
(19:15):
concerned that if I had alcohol, I would do something
that could potentially get me harmed or arrested. And Lord knows,
I did both of those things without needing alcohol to
get me to that point. So imagine how bad it
would have been with alcohol. So I was always worried
about it. Now I'm finding out that I was just
ahead of my time. Gen Z is backing off of
(19:37):
a number of alcohols. In fact, all of America's starting
to rethink alcohol were not drinking as much as we
were now. Gen Z for a long time was sort
of identified as the generation that was assuaging alcohol altogether.
Gen Z was the sober generation that's starting to change.
Diaggio is one of the big distributors and one of
(19:59):
the big manufacturer that make smirnoff ice to make Guinness,
that kind of thing. And Diagio says, now gen Z
is still drinking. It's just that we have to find
the right spirit for them. And this is pretty normal.
This is not a new concept in the in the nineties.
You remember when Bartles and James was the big thing
to wala. You probably remember that stuff and what was it.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Zeema zema, But you know in the hood it was
Boons Farm.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Oh okay, there you go, all right, yeah, my my, all.
My contemporary white girl high school friends. They were all
trying to get the zemas right. But I wasn't drinking anything,
so I wasn't paying attention to any of them. Wow right, yeah,
now what is it? Now? What is it? Young white
girls are all drinking white claws? Is there something I have?
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Because I was like a full blown alcoholic for a
long while. Yeah, I have not had a drink and
now going on over twenty years.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Wow anymore? I don't know yet.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
I don't even think that with people to drink because
I still get the thirst.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Man, Oh you do. The temptation is still there. Oh man,
I get that. That's interesting.
Speaker 6 (21:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
I work with two guys in my real job that
neither one of them has ever had a drop of alcohol,
God bless them. Well, I thought, how do you even
do that? At some point, somebody hands you a drink
and you don't realize it until after you take a
sip that you go, oh, that's got that's not what
I want it, right, that's got something in it, like
you're at a party or something like.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
They probably don't go to parties. No, you don't go
to parties and also avoid alcohol.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Well one of them, okay, well one of them goes
to strip clubs four nights a week, and the other.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
One no, no, now now they do now.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
They do now. But he's still never had a drop
of alcohol in his life. And yeah, yeah, and the
other guy is like a he's like a he's like
he travels around the country doing sports on the weekends.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Your friend that goes to strip clubs, does he go
with bibles passing them out?
Speaker 2 (21:49):
No? No, he's not duck. Okay, yeah, he's a gem.
I love the man. He's such a walking uh enigma,
I suppose. So anyway, gen Z is they are starting
to find their footing. And I don't know if that's
alcohol or there's alcohol obviously, I don't know if that's
white claw or what it is that's bringing them in.
(22:10):
CBS was just talking about the overall alcohol sales though
are down, and why is that.
Speaker 7 (22:16):
New polling from Gallup shows the number of Americans who
drink alcohol is going down. Fifty four percent of American
adults say they drink alcohol, and it's important because that
is the lowest number recorded in the history of this pole. Meanwhile,
in increasing Tuala.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
You're kind of like setting a trend right now. People
are one I want to be like Twala, he's cool.
Speaker 7 (22:39):
The number of Americans say that drinking alcohol, even in moderation,
is bad for your health. Aaron Phillips joins us now
she's an assistant professor at the University of Illinois Chicago
School of Public Health, And Aaron, thanks for being with us.
It was a really interesting poll here at can't we
talk about how americans drinking habits have changed since the pandemic?
I feel like especially those days listen still and folks
(23:03):
just started going evening off with some nice whiskey.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
All right, journalism one on one, keep your questions shortened
to the point. Ron Or backed me up on this.
Is there anything worse than a journalist that makes a
question like a minute and a half long? No, I
nodded off halfway through what she was asking? So bad
and get to the point. There is today's national radio day.
There is a national radio host who I think is
one of the absolute best in the business. I mean,
(23:28):
he is so good. But if there's one Achilles heels
that his questions just drag on and I go, come on, dude,
The rest of the show is so good. You've got
guests every hour and you ask them these questions were
you opine for two minutes? Ironically, the question made me
want to drink, right, yeah, it made Twala want to drink.
He hasn't touched anything in twenty years. No, this is serious.
Speaker 6 (23:49):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely. We definitely found increase in drinking during
the pandemic, and particularly drinking frequent fy so people drinking
more days or more drinks per drinking day, and the
percentage of people who are drinking outside of recommended guidelines.
And then since then, we really seem drinking be pretty stable.
In these big national survey bit track drinking over time,
(24:10):
there's been some slight decreases, but adults who were twenty
five and older have been drinking pretty stably since.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
About twenty twenty one.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
So this decree that we're seeing in the gallopl is
really encouraging.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Now here's what's interesting. Molson Cores says, people are still drinking,
but there's a reason that they're drinking less. I'll tell
you what that reason is in just a few moments.
Chris merril Ian form mo Kelly today.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
If I am six forty more stimulating talk and listen
anytime on demand of the iHeartRadio app. Sometimes I wish
although would be canceled immediately. I wish you could see
what goes on behind the scenes, because I have been
bombarding Robin with all of my best guilty pleasure song
ungs off the air, and I keep singing to her
(25:03):
because we found out that Robin doesn't like the banger
that is Pink Pony Club and Twala. You and I
are both astonished by this, right, and even even Mark
was in it. Mark was even dancing the Pink Pony
Club when we were and she said she was trying
to find raw audio of me singing Pink Pony Club
(25:23):
without the without the music bet under it. Hmmm, yeah,
sounds like war Well. I was just thinking, maybe I
just sing it four now you could? I could. Now.
The question is do I sing it like I always
do in my perfect falsetto? Oh no, I give her
more of a baritone version.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Nah, the baritone is gonna make it like you're not
being serious. I think the false settle. Lets it be known.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
That's because that's how I sing it when I'm in
the car. Yeah. Absolutely so, God, what have you done?
Speaker 10 (25:53):
You're a Pink Pony girl and you dance at the club.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Mama, just having fun.
Speaker 10 (26:03):
Staging my heels is where I've been long down at the.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Pink Pony Club.
Speaker 10 (26:10):
I'm gonna keep bone dancing at the Pink Pony Club.
I'm gonna keep bone dancing down in West Hollywood. I'm
gonna keep bone dancing at the Pink Bony Club.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Pink Club. We are good, Yes, we are good.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Robin no app come on.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
National Radio Day, Ladies in general, National Radio Day. That
was good, Yes, it was. That's for you. Rob. Let
me tell you what's gonna happen. Before the end of
the show. We're gonna get a phone call from somebody
that wants us to come perform that live after. Somebody's
gonna go. They're gonna go, Yes, they're gonna go. We
want Pink Pony Club, Ebony and Ivory. You guys come
(26:54):
to Pink Pony Club for us. That's gonna happen. Boom
in a prison someplace, perhaps that's fine. Hey, the gig
is a gig.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
You think prisoners won't applaud that, Oh well they will will.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Yes, you'll be quite popular there. I'm kind of that
We're going in costume. Yes pretty good, Yes, all right, Robin,
careful what you wish for? Hey, I was talking about
this before that before we got our news update there
from Mark, and that is that Moulsen Core says that
people are still in fact drinking, especially after they listen
to my singing. They say people are drinking. The reason
(27:30):
that alcohol consumption may be down, however, is because they're sad. Yeah,
I mean not exactly. What they say though, is that
there are economic pressures on some of the effects, like
the illumitivem terrffs. Right, so they got illumitive tariffs, prices go.
If people go, I can't afford beer, so I'm not
(27:51):
gonna drink. But they still want to drink. They still
want that good time. Right. When you think of alcohol,
whenever you see a beer ad, you never see a
beer out of somebody saying pound eight of these before
you go to bed every night for a great hangover
and maybe you'll even crap the bed. That doesn't happen.
There's no truth in advertising when it comes to beer, right. Instead,
(28:15):
what they do is it's always like crack into this
one and have a good time. When you're at a
football game, you have to have a bud light. Oh,
when you want refreshment, you want the rocky mountains. It's
always about selling the sizzle, not the actual steak, right,
It's all about the feel of what happens when you
have that beer in your hand. The problem, however, is that,
according to Molson, course, people don't have as many occasions
(28:37):
to celebrate. So while we've always associated alcohol with parties
or celebration or gatherings or social outings, as people are
starting to cut back on those events, those activities, they're
not finding the occasion to drink. Boy, if that is
not an indicator that the economy is headed down the
wrong path, I don't know what it is. That's a
(28:58):
bad sign for society. You know the Homer Simpson quote,
don't you, Chris go on alcohol the cause of and
solution two all of life's problems, all of life's problems. Yeah,
I mean that's it's it's a bit too on the
nose for me, but it is one hundred percent correct. Yep,
absolutely true, absolutely true. Okay, let me see are we
(29:19):
doing on time here? We short on this see for
this segment we did sing Pink Pony Club National Radio
Day talk about beer. Now, I've got nothing else. You
guys have anything else, you would have thrown this segment? Good?
