Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
We are just days away from TikTok being banned, and
one more day away from the inauguration.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
It is inauguration mania.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Oh get out your wallets and see if you can
get a good spot at the inauguration. Or take your
Chinese company and tell Trump that you want to be
at the inauguration the same company he wanted banned and
started the entire process of banning your company, but now
says it should not be banned. You too, could have
a front row seat to the inauguration. Politico headline, Everyone's
(00:41):
trying to kiss the ring Trump's inauguration, devouring corporate cash
and smashing records. Not only our companies giving far larger
amounts than they did to Trump's first inauguration, when they
didn't have a firm grasp upon a handle misgivings about
the mercurial politician, they're also doing so in a far
more public fashion, announcing the donations months before they have
to be reported to federal regulators. Not only are they
(01:02):
making the donations, they're bragging about it. They're not bragging
to you and me they're bragging because they want him
to know that they're making these massive donations and that
they're not ashamed of it.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
They're trying to win favor. It's a weird world that
we're in right now.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Low weird. Look low weird, low weird. That we've got
a lot of ring kissing going on. The inauguration packages.
By the way, if you want in, you can get
helicopter rides, shopping sprees, and vats of caviar. And I
know what you were thinking, man, I didn't know I
needed a vat of caviare, but now that it's being offered,
(01:43):
I probably need a full vat. Meanwhile, fish are wondering
where all their eggs went. Over a dozen DC hotels
offering inauguration packages and the tens of thousands of dollars
advertising lavish suites and over the top of meenities. The
hot cellar so far as the water Gate who's what
they're calling nonpartisan head of State package has been booked
(02:04):
multiple times. How much seventy three five hundred dollars With that,
you'll get a round trip blade helicopter transportation from New
York to the Reagan National and the Daily Armored You
get a daily armored maybox chauffeur chaffeur t how you
pronounce it. A lot of people say chaffeur, but I
(02:25):
say it correctly, chaffeur chaffeur. That's French maybox. If you're unfamiliar,
that is Mercedes Benz. That's been completely just redesigned from
top to bio. I don't even know how do you
it's it's the It's a luxuried luxury. It's essentially a
(02:45):
sedan limo because if you get the highest end one,
you not only have reclining back seats, Yeah, you get
internet connection, you get like a magnetic hold for all
the champagne that you're going to drink. Yes, and these
are armored and oh yeah, and they're armored and they
have sports car type engine modifications.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Oh yeah, yes, they are great.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Guests also get a tour of the Scandal Suite that
is the site of the infamous break in at the
Watergate hotel, so they're capitalizing on that too. So that's
that's just one thing you could get. Fairmount near Georgetown
offering one of the most luxurious packages. If you thought
seventy three five hundred to stay at the Watergate was
(03:31):
a lot how about the three hundred and fifty thousand
dollars package that included from the Fairmont.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Round trip bearfair for four people.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
And their pet, thank Goodness from anywhere in the United States,
plus four nights in a brand new suite. You'll have
two butlers, a shopping spirit at Sacksmith Avenue for worth
the twenty five thousand dollars, and a special cocktail named
after you for the weekend. So let's call that a
full vanity package. I always get a kick out of
(03:59):
people paying for shopping. For just three hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, you could have a twenty five thousand dollars
shopping spree. What if I just gave you three hundred
and twenty five thousand dollars and to care my own
shopping spring Parkayat offering one hundred thousand dollars presidential package.
You'll get opulent welcome pergs, vnted champagne, a boatload of
(04:20):
caviaar and we went from a vat to a boatload.
Now a private chef's table, afternoon tea from the chef,
personalized presidential robes and slippers, and daily flourishes like fresh
flower bouquets, and bespoke desserts.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
And if you were concerned that by going to the
inauguration you'd have to deal with those pesky flags at
half mass all because we're paying tribute to a deceased president, you.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Won't have to worry about that now.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Since the President alec said it's very wrong, very wrong
to have flags at half mass during his inauguration, a
number of Republicans governors have stepped up, including Greg Abbott,
who really kicked things off in Texas and that got
the ear of Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House,
who said, you know what, we shouldn't be recognizing a
former president here in DC while we're inaugurating someone else. Nope,
(05:16):
let's bring those flags up the full mass.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
A message. This is from KVUE, Austin, Texas.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
A message from House Speaker Mike Johnson, causing some controversy
ahead of President to elect Donald Trump's inauguration next Monday.
The speaker says flags at the US Capitol will fly
at full staff on Monday. It were set to stay
at half staff as part of a thirty day morning
period to honor former President Jimmy Carter, who died back
on December twenty ninth. Johnson says flags will be at
(05:44):
full staff for the inauguration, but lowered once again after
that for the rest of the morning period, which runs
until the twenty eighth of this month. Yesterday, Texas Governor
Greg Abbott announced the same for state buildings here in Texas.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
I know what you're thinking, all these rascally Republicans, what
are they doing? Well, let's tie all of our stories together.
Everyone seems to want to kiss the ring, including Gavin Newsom,
who's now decided that in the state of California, we
also should put our flags at full mast. Yes, give
your flag that little blue pill on inauguration Day and
get it to full staff. But don't worry if it
(06:19):
lasts more than four hours, talk to your doctor, because
you need to bring it back to half masted, half staff,
half whatever the following day, because then we can go
back to paying tribute to Jimmy Carter. You know, I
know why Newsom's doing this, because he goes who cares?
And if I can just extend a little olive branch,
(06:40):
then maybe Trump will not stand by Johnson when he
trust to negotiate.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Relief funding.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Right, I get why Newsom is doing it, because this
is all symbolism.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Nobody really cares.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Nobody cares if if you're spending too much energy on this,
like what is going on in your life, that this
is what you have the time to worry about.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
But obviously there are.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Plenty of people, including Greg Abbott and other Republican governors
and now Knew someone who's like, Okay, we're going to
do this because it just feels like a smart play.
But let me just throw this out for hypothetical. Let's
suppose you know that Trump is not eligible for reelection.
Let's suppose that we are at December twenty ninth, twenty
(07:33):
twenty eight, and let's suppose hypothetically that lane duck President
Donald Trump suffers a horrible heart attack or a stroke
or something of that sort, right, and he.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Leaves this mortal coil.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
So should that happen and Dvance is then to be inaugurated,
Let's say that Advance.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Now, Advance would step up immediately.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
But let's say that he wins the election and it
is to be inaugurated.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
In twenty twenty nine.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Exact same scenario here, would Vance demand that the flags
be at full staff for his inauguration, would the current speaker,
let's say Mike Johnson is still the speaker, would he
say it has to be at full staff.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Now I'm not saying he.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Wouldn't, but I want you to think we're actually setting
a precedent.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Now.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
This will not be the last time that we have
a president a former president pass away in the time
leading up to the inauguration. It will happen again, right,
And maybe that's maybe that's because someone dies in office.
Maybe that's because of the timing or around an election
like we see this time around, it will happen again.
(08:47):
We've set a precedent now, so flags are at half
staff to pay tribute to the deceased president. That's a
thirty day thing. That's standard operating procedure. But now what
we're saying is unless there's an inauguration, then they all
have to come back up. We are changing American tradition
with this, With whatever this is, we're changing it from
(09:10):
here on out. Just mark my words. You won't remember.
It'll happen again. You won't remember. Everybody will start arguing
about it. But I'm telling you, mark my words. Meanwhile,
while this, while the flags are still at the top
of the pole.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Trump is already.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Going to work the day one barrage of promises and
what you can expect to see before the sun goes
down on Monday night.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
That is next.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Chris merril In from O Kelly KFI AM six forty
Live anywhere everywhere. Excuse me on your iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Chris merril In.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
From O Kelly, I AM six forty. You can catch
me on Sunday afternoons. God willing, the creek don't rise,
and all the other reasons that they might let me stay.
And I appreciate the opportunity to be here today and
back in tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Mark, Sorry about that, pal, We'll make it me again.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
I appreciate you. You're very tolerant. Well, it's important to
show mercy at a time like this. When it comes
to the inauguration. Do you write a skeleton script.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Ahead of time? Mark? I'm not sure what you mean by.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
That, So do you do you have kind of an outline,
because you know, I mean, we've seen inaugurations before, kind
of like you might have a skeleton obituary for I.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Mean, just like boilerplate stuff that you can right ahead
of time.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Yeah, yeah, you can call it mad libs of news
where you say, yeah, the president was sworn in today
at the you know, the Capitol, and blah blah blah,
and and here's what he had to say, and then
you would, you know, you drop the audio in or
whatever else.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
Well for the things that you can, if they're predictable
or if you want historical background that kind of thing
in there. Yeah, but there are things about this one
that look like they might be kind of unpredictable.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Well, that's that's what I'm thinking too, because it's not
just the inauguration, which side note here, I'm gonna do
a quick aside. Michelle Obama's not going to the inauguration,
all right, she doesn't like Trump.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
I get that.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
So I understand Michelle Obama not going, Barack Obama's going.
But she didn't go to Carter's funeral either. Is there
something going on with her? Because the official word was, oh,
she was on a family vacation, and I thought, oh man,
they said the timing just didn't work out for the funeral.
And I thought, well, I'd dog on Carter. Why didn't
he run that by her first clear the schedule. It's weird,
(11:23):
isn't it.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
You'll have to explain to me why her not going
to the inauguration is news when uh, I'm pretty sure
Trump didn't go to bikes inaugura.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
It is not. He did not. And I here's what
it would not be news save for a couple of
little things.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
One Barack Obama's going and all the other former first
spouses are going. Okay, So that's one thing, all right,
and maybe you go it's not a big deal. She
doesn't go, okay, that's fine. But also she's the one
who said when they go low, we go high.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Right.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
That was her, That was her whole thing, And so
it looks almost petty, which I mean, I'm here for it,
don't get me wrong. But then the other thing is
she wasn't at Carter's funeral leader, and we're kind of
wondering why is she staying? Why are we not hearing
from Michelle Obama? Do we have a Kate Middleton situation
going on here? Is there something we need to know?
Speaker 3 (12:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Things like this are really raised my media double standard radar, though,
because if we really want to keep track of, you know,
the number of occasions Milania has ditched Trump for I
think that would dwarf Michelle Obama, all right, taking the
time out, Except when it comes to Milania ditching Trump,
I think we all kind of assumed.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
She just doesn't want to be around him. So does
that mean that there's trouble in the in the Obama household?
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Do you know something I don't.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
I don't know, because there's a mystery, That's what I'm saying,
Because like when it's Milania, there was a lot of like,
why isn't she at the White House? Why is Milania
not staying there? And we all went, yeah, because she
doesn't want to be around him. I mean we just
kind of came to that conclusion. I feel like Michelle Obama,
there's still a little bit of a mystery.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Well, you're married, you know how it goes.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I know, but you know what, it's one of those
things that if I were going to the inauguration, my
wife would just assume we're going together.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
In fact, let's just give people a look behind the curtain. Yeah,
off the air, I was just advising you to dump
your wife because of her opinion about the nos Faratu movie.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
In fact, I think you were seriously considering it as
far as you know.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
I was. Yeah, yeah, let me see, I actually have this.
Let's see.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
I said, I haven't seen the new nose Feratu. My
wife saw it and said she thought it was too artsy.
Your response, divorce her. I'm serious, I said, beheading in public?
Should I go full Henry the Eighth on her? And
he said, leaving her alone and impoverish should probably be plenty.
I said, should I dig out and drop her in
a buffalo bill hole in the basement like in Silence
of the Lambs.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
You thought that might be a little too much. Yeah,
it's weird when I'm saying that about the rest of
you guys. It is a little I don't like that. No,
I don't like when when you have to be the
voice of reason it seems like things are tapsy turvy.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Yeah, because normally, isn't Tawala kind of holding you back
a little bit?
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
I like to be the transgressive one, so when I'm
when I'm like Dad Brady, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
It's a little weird. Yeah, it makes no sense.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Yeah, So on inauguration and why you can't just use
boilerplate stuff is because once he's inaugurated, do those does
he sign executive orders before he's the president or is
there just a stack of executive orders that as soon
as he gets off the dais he just has to
start signing before he starts to party for the night.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
I don't know how that works, but we know what
he said about all the things that he's going to
do on day one.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Exactly a D word thing.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Yeah, divorce, Oh no, a different one, different D words,
Oh different, gotcha. Bloomberg was going over some of that list.
Speaker 6 (14:44):
By the way, Folds explained to me that the first
forty eight hours.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Or Bloomberg News, not Michael Bloomberg, really going to.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
Be executive order after executive order. Now, this isn't new
for any incoming president, especially when they're handing off power
to the other party.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Cause she's right, every president comes in and has ex
active orders that they're going to sign a day one.
Not abnormal at all. It will be the second time
I used the phrase tonight. The order of magnitude with
this one is different.
Speaker 6 (15:10):
It's give you some color and a sense of what
we expect. Nancy Cook, one of my colleagues here in Washington,
d C has a long list of what the team
is starting to prepare on the energy front, new drilling
on federal lands. As part of his initial push, Trump
is also going to freeze regulations put forth by the
Biden administration that have not yet been finalized when it
(15:31):
comes to federal workers. So they're trying to shrink the
federal workforce by putting a hiring freeze on the government,
mandating that they return to office. Is something we've heard
Elon Musk talk about when he wants a DOGI PI
the country and.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Oh my god, are we going to start saying do
oh that's a word now? Oh oh.
Speaker 6 (15:51):
Then, of course, on immigration, this is going to be
the most important. This is the one the president feels
like he is a mandate from the country on.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
They want to tighten.
Speaker 6 (15:58):
Restrictions on bordercreps us mandate. The government finished the unbuilt
area of the border wall, set up the mechanics to
also carry out mass deportations.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Yeah, but all with a hiring freeze. Oh no, just
a hiring freeze and those departments we don't.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
Like, and also deprive any sanctuary cities of federal resources
until they stop serving as a safe place for migrants.
So it's going to be a very busy first few
days of the Donald Trump administration.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
You know, those are a couple of times now that
we've heard threats toward the state of California. One, you
have to play ball with us or you're not going
to get disaster relief aide. Now, you're not going to
get any cities and things like that, are not going
to get any federal dollars unless you abide by our
new deportation laws, which of course are going to be
challenged in the courts immediately.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Can we just not send money to the federal government.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
The state of California sends more money to Washington than
Washington sends to California.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
So okay, cut us off. Let's just let's just just.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
No more federal taxes going to DC, and then DC
you don't have to send us any federal taxes.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
That seems like a fair trade, doesn't it. Let's just
do that.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Oh sorry, Kentucky, you're screwed because there will not be
as much federal money coming in. But don't worry, you'll
be getting all of what's left because you're gonna play ball.
I just hate this whole give us money so we
can tell you what to do. I hate that stuff,
like it at all. Speaking of money, anybody got an
(17:32):
extra cash come to find out?
Speaker 3 (17:35):
No, it's next.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on Demand from KFI.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
A six Chris Merrill in from O Kelly.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
I am six forty listen anytime on demand of the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Being broke stinks and I hate it.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
My wife and I had a moment a few years back,
and you know, at the time it just made a
lot of sense, but now looking back on it, we go, wow,
that was kind of crazy.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
I had a good radio gig and.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I I didn't follow what I was supposed to follow
as far as what the station wanted. And I said,
that's not a good idea, and the station went, well,
that's what we're gonna do. And I said this is
not great for me, and they said, yeah, you're not
great for us either, and so the contract ended and
that was it.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
So I didn't have a gig, and my wife.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Made pretty good money, but we had a mortgage to
pay and we were in a bunch of debt. And
I had always had some success in my life, and
so I thought, I don't need an emergency fund. I'll
just use credit cards until the next gig comes along.
And I thought, I'm going to have work in no time,
and come to find out, no time is a lot
longer than I expected. So I was doing a lot
(18:48):
of you know, part time filling that kind of thing.
I was bringing in some money. But things started to
get tighter and tighter, and then the credit card bill
kept going up and up and up, and I didn't
change my spending and and things got ugly.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
So we decided, let's get drastic. Now. We could have
kept making payments.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
We could have kept, uh, you know, kind of fighting
the interest every month and tried to slowly come out
of it. But we said, let's do something drastic. So
we sold My wife had a really nice car. We
sold that, uh and then we sold our house and
we moved into a fifth wheel camper. And we lived
in a fifth wheel camper for two years and paid
(19:27):
off all of our debt. And we're fortunate because we
moved in. My parents have a little bit of land
in northern Michigan, and so we parked the camper on
the land. It wasn't like it was a listen It
wasn't a dilapidated camper. It was a few years old,
but it wasn't dilapidated or anything. It was It was
all right, But I don't know if you've ever considered
(19:48):
camping throughout a winter in Michigan.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
It's not a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
That was gonna be my question, like where it sat,
because I know there's a lot of laws against just
parking a trailer.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Yeah, that type of thing.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Are that's that's correct, but they are deep in the
Woods County. Somebody would have had to say, hey, I
think they're living there for it to be a problem.
And we use the facilities inside the house more than
we use the facilities in the campers. So it worked
out really well for us, and I'm forever grateful to
my parents for helping out with that, and we paid
(20:20):
off all of our debt and I got to tell
you the relief it brought was unanticipated. But it also
put us on this path where we said, we do
not want to get into that situation again, do not
want to get into it. Unfortunately, some other people are
in the same position that we were a few years back,
and by the way we're out of that, we're out
of that situation. Now, you know, I got a job.
(20:44):
My wife is an incredible person, very fortunate, and so
you know, we've just kind of decided we don't want
to have that situation again. Let's, uh, let's start saving
some money and make sure that we've got emergency funds
and mortgages are paid and all that kind of stuff.
So we're in a much better place now. But it
was tough. It was hard. And now I see a
headline talking about cash strapped Americans and how all of
(21:08):
a sudden, and I don't know how cash strapped we
are or if we're all using credit cards. Now, I
know the credit card debt has gone way up. Inflation
is out of control. The menu at McDonald's is ridiculous.
And yet McDonald's isn't going out. They're not going under,
so it's not like people aren't buying their McDonald's. But
(21:28):
now shoppers and restaurant patrons around the US are being
choosy about where and how to spend their money, wrestling
with high housing and food prices. To me, it's the
housing costs that are the most outrageous. People are even
trading down from Walmart and aldi excuse me, they're trading
down to Walmart and Aldi.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
I don't know if you saw a story.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
It was a couple of weeks ago they said that
Target was losing customers to Walmart. So Target, I guess,
is considered the fancy place, right, and then they're going
to Walmart instead. Department stores are struggling and some other
are struggling as they're completely changing shopping hab us. Did
you see that Macy's is closing a bunch of stores too.
(22:07):
I see Macy's is they're reconfiguring a bunch of things. Yeah,
I'm not surprised they didn't close a little bit earlier.
Me too, because I mean, no offense to them at all,
Like they got some good stuff, but it just, honestly,
and maybe it's nice to me, but it reminds you
of my grandma. Like, Okay, I'm with you on that, Okay,
I really am. But I feel that way about all
(22:29):
the department stores, the Cohal's, the nord Strims, all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Okay, yeah, fair enough. Yeah, but I'm also a dude.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
I'm not their clientele, and I get that, but I
kind of wonder what the future is going to be
of those those anchor department stores, especially as malls were closing.
They survived somehow, They've done alright. But now Macy's saying
they're going to close one hundred and fifty stores over
the next three years. They are going to open fifteen
higher end Bloomingdale's. I didn't realize that Bloomingdale's was owned
(22:54):
by Macy's, but now I know they had planned to
shut her fifteen or fifty five of those this year,
but now they're going to open fifteen. So Macy's, I guess,
was not expensive enough. So then you go, you have
to go to blooming Deals. So we are shifting our
buying patterns based on what we have for the inflation,
because of inflation, right, But then I start thinking about
(23:17):
what I think is the biggest detriment, and this is
what my wife and I were so concerned with. The
biggest payment that we had every month was our mortgage,
which is why we sold our house. By the way,
worst time to sell our house. We closed on it
January twenty twenty, just weeks before the COVID thing took
off here in America.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Like, we knew about this.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
We knew about this, this illness that was started in China.
We had heard about it, and we're like, well, that's crazy,
and then we closed on our house, and then and
then all of a sudden, you know, the pandemic hits,
and then we have this brief, very brief recession, and
then all of a sudden, housing prices skyrocket, and boyd
we lose out on a bunch of money. That house
(23:58):
has sold a couple of times since it's more than
double the value, So you know, you win some, you
lose them.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
I was gonna say the only worst time would have
been two thousand and.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Eight, exactly, exactly exactly, but now you get it, that's
what happened. But the fact is, though, then once we
wanted to get back into the housing market, all of
a sudden, we found ourselves going, wow, everything is way
more expensive than we expected, which makes you think the
American dream is toast. There's no such thing as the
(24:28):
American the idea of owning a single family home with
two point three kids and a dog and a white
picket fence and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
That's gone, that's totally gone.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
In fact, we've got to the point right now where
the housing shortage is so bad that you know, in
California they're telling people you can't have just single family
only zoning anymore, which means that even if your American
dream was to have that single family home with a
nice yard and white picket fence and all that other crap,
you we are actually saying we don't have the room
(25:03):
for everybody to do that. We have to have more density,
We have to have more condos and apartments and things
like that. When it comes to the American dream in general,
you know, you want two cars in the garage, and
you want to take your kid to soccer practice and
all these other things. According to uh, let me see, Yeah,
it was the Telegraph that had it. But the Telegraph
is telling the story about the American dream. And what
(25:26):
is in the way of the American dream. It is
property values one hundred percent and it is nowhere is
it worse than right here? Nowhere is it worse. It's funny,
I was I pulled audio up.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Yeah, I've got some audio, but I'll just skim through it.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
CNBC had a story about it, and they talked about
the median home price across the country is now up
to you know, it's over four hundred thousand dollars and
people can't afford that, and I thought four hundred thousand dollars.
You know how long a decent place would last on
the market at four hundred thousand dollars in southern California?
Speaker 5 (25:56):
Isn't it more than twice that here? Yes, it's like
hundred thousand dollars, that's what I thought.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Yeah, before you finish that sentence, that's how long it
would last.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
That's exactly right. It would sell in two point two seconds.
It would be a race to see who could get
their name signed fastest. That's what would happen. And so
you talk about the American dream. I don't know how
anybody can have the American dream in southern California. If
you are a millennial, it's not a millennial. There's some
millennials have done it. If you are a gen Z
(26:25):
or younger, what are the odds that gen Z and
younger actually realize what we always grew up with as
a concept of the American dream.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
There's no way. It's extinct.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
You hearally, you hear over and over again about how
our parents and our grandparents could afford a family vacations
in college on one paycheck. Yeah, that doesn't exist anymore now.
The last I read, the last figure I aired was
sixty percent of Americans live paycheck to paycheck and most
of the majority of people don't even have a few
extra one hundred bucks on hand for emergencies. Yeah, that
(26:57):
lifestyle from You'll leave it to Beaver days does exists anymore.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Gone, It's gone.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
And I think this is one of the biggest issues
with the perspective between generations. Older generations just well, you
know we had to sacrifice. Oh, I'm sure you did.
I'm sure that you had. There were some things you
had to wait to get that kind of stuff, but
eventually you could get those things. Maybe you couldn't go
to college and get a house right away, maybe you
had to decide one or the other, uh, and then
(27:24):
and then get the other one later.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Whatever. But nowadays it's like, do you want an education
or do you want a home?
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Because you're you can't have both because your your your
student loans are so crazy right now that you're gonna
be paying those off. And remember when you get out
of college, you're gonna have all these other bills and
you're gonna have these student loans. And if you're not
making extra payments, the interest is gonna grow faster than
you can pay off the principle. All these kinds of things,
you're gonna have to make a decision. You get one
or the other, which is kind of leading some people
(27:55):
to being defeated in the workforce.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Maybe one of them and see if you have these traits.
That's next.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Chris merrill Ian from O Kelly kf I AM six
forty were live everywhere in your iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
You know, I was just talking to the last segment
about the American Dream is ded.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
This spells dead, Jed, You're not gonna be able to
afford it.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
A lot of people are feeling hopeless, and it doesn't
help if you have what some are identifying as a
toxic leader. Toxic leaders can lead to zombie employees. I
would also argue that employees that are not engaged at
work can lead to frustrated leaders, which could then give you,
I guess, zombie leadership. Are you a zombie employee? You
(28:45):
know I started reading the list of characteristics of a
zombie employee and I don't want to point fingers here,
but Mark I gotta tell you a pal.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Look at the time, is just about time to go
to the You just tell me, you just tell me,
Just tell me how this goes.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Zombie employees they arrive at work as late as possible
to leave as early as they can.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
You know, I don't.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
I don't think we suffer from that problem here, And
you've kind of a four in the door kind of guy.
Speaker 5 (29:15):
I think we donate quite a bit of our own
free time to the iHeart Corporation.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Yeah, but I feel like you're complaining about it, So
I'm gonna go ahead and put you down from I
can't win. Zombie employees take long lunches and consistently return
late from meetings.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
Mark, you don't even go to the meetings.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
I do not take lunches. All right, there you go
kind of getting railroaded here, Tawala. You want to help
out zombie employee. It's he's enjoying it. He's enjoying it.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
I am.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Zombie employees never asked questions, They never correct mistakes or
share insights during team meetings. We can't even get marked
to go to the team meetings. Oh boy, I'm one too,
Yeah you too. That describes me in a meeting. Oh,
we got to go to them, but I don't say anything.
We're surrounded by the zombies. Uh you know I feel
about the zombie. Yeah, yeah, I know. You already got
(30:05):
that dull rusty machete.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Ready to go off?
Speaker 5 (30:08):
We go.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Okay, all right, back to my royalty free sound effects.
Where are we?
Speaker 3 (30:14):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Yes, Zombie employees never stay late except to take care
of personal business using office equipment and supplies. Uh yeah,
I think it's yeah, Mark, we've been looking for that stapler.
By the way, I wanted to point that out. A
lot of people say that the last person they saw using.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
The stapler was you, the red staplers in the basement,
just so you know.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and add that one for
you too. I like it.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
We're on the same page on that one. Let's see,
Zombie employees never do anything to make their leader look good.
Well that's okay, that's two for you on that one. Yeah, okay, good.
Zombie employees push all their deadlines to the very end.
Nothing is ever completed early. Now I know why you
don't show me a rundown before the show starts. Yeah, yeah, no,
(30:59):
this is deaf, really why yeah, uh there, zombie employee.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
I mean, obviously your attitude sucks.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Zombie employees quality of work is what you would expect,
painfully pedestrian, no frills, just the bare essentials.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Yeah that's that.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Yeahs let me see what else?
Speaker 3 (31:21):
What else does Mark? Oh I'm sorry. Zombie employees not Mark. Uh.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
They are consistently uninquisitive and supine. They display a dearth
of intuitive competence. Yes, supine, Mark, supine. Yeah it was
in my high school yearbooks.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
Supine.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
That's right, we always become We always thought your newscasts
were a little bit supine.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
And then my favorite this is raun or to a
t posh Is this you too? Zombie employees are essentially
dead behind the eyes, completely disconnected.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Yeah, there we go. I guess that kind of spoke.
It's a good thing.
Speaker 5 (32:03):
My self esteem is so healthy.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
But I got a note the last time it was
the most that I was too nice to you.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
So okay, that's why I wouldn't want anybody to make
things easy for me. No, I've got to kick the
sport out of it. But you do know people that
we I mean, we've all worked with people like that, right,
and you just gotta go, why are you even here?
Speaker 2 (32:28):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (32:29):
Why are you even like? They just drag everybody else down?
Speaker 2 (32:33):
And what's usually worse is or not usually what is
worse is when you have that person with that mentality
and they just happened to be making twice as much as.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
Oh, you're right, so hard? Do you know what?
Speaker 2 (32:49):
I've always admired the people that know how to fail up?
And I just thought, how do I what is the
characteristic that they have that they can fail up? Because
that's what I need. I need to be that guy.
Every time I get canned, I end up in a
bigger radio. Wait a minute, this is Market two. That's
not bad. Actually, come to think about it, I might
have mastered this.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
You did what.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
I'm trying to think right now? Last market too? Right, yeah, yeah,
it is Market two. Last time I got canned, it
was a much smaller place. All right, Well, maybe I
have nothing, Maybe you're out of it back for me
all of a sudden here, huh, all right.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
I think you need a ding for that, one little
ding for me?
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Then, all right, a part of the Human Resources Director magazine,
which I know you guys have already read through, So
this is nothing new to you. Love their centerfolds have
very good stuff. Oh the pants suits? Did you see
the sales that they were offering on the pantsuits?
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Really good?
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Uh? What out of five people are thriving at work?
Which means four out of five people are not. What
does it mean to be thriving at work?
Speaker 3 (33:59):
Pretty much?
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Everything that was just the opposite of what we just
told you about zombie employees. They have a number of
well work well being indicators, happiness, satisfaction, purpose, and low stress.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Aren't there some of us though?
Speaker 2 (34:13):
And I will not point fingers here because I've already
had enough fun at your expense. I'll tell you this
my wife, I've said this to her before, and she
always argues with me. But I say, she's not happy
unless she's stressed. She doesn't feel like she's working hard
enough unless she's feeling stressed. If that stress is not
at a certain level, she feels like she's not earning
her paycheck. So fifty nine percent of people agree that
(34:37):
they feel stressed at work most of the time.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
I think that's kind of the American way. Well that's
what work is.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
I kind of yeah, But I see where he's coming
from because I kind of understand that because there's another
radio guy that I follow, and he came from the bottom,
literally from the bottom to the top, and it's almost
more difficult to be at the top because who are
you racing up? Who are you racing against? Now you're
your top dog, people are trying to catch up to you.
(35:04):
So I mean, she's confusing stress with like motivation, because
that's what I kind of hear is coming from your wife,
that could be Yeah, she always feels like she has
more that she can be doing exactly, and when you're
not doing it, you feel like you're lazy or you're
not putting in one hundred percent, And so you'd go like,
oh man, And I've had this conversation with my parents
(35:25):
all the time.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
Just like yeah, you do this and this and this
and this and this. You're fine. I'm like, yeah, I know,
but I could be doing more, could be doing this,
and what if I did.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
And part of that, too is I think that it's
instilled in some of us when we're young. My father
is a workaholic, and he was instilled in me that
you need to be doing more, you need to be
doing stuff for the company. You need to be doing
extra time and all these other things that the younger
generations are more of a no. If I'm working, you
need to be paying me. And my father was always
the guy that was like, you need to be giving
them extra time so that they'll they'll they'll keep you.
(35:54):
And I thought, but I mean, I do my job,
and I do it well, and I go, I go
above and beyond. But at some point there's got to
be I know, it's a hip thing to say. Now
is the work life balance? There has to be some,
doesn't it, or else we just we toil away, we
collect our watch after fifty years and then we die.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
There got to be more than that. I agree.
Speaker 5 (36:13):
Americans have kind of been gas lit into that work
ethic thing that a lot of other countries don't have.
I had to have a year abroad in Scotland to
realize that there's sometimes where you can just be. You
don't have to beat yourself up about not doing stuff.
Mark your attitude sucks.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
I know, I know.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
Chris merrill In from OKELLYKF I am six forty live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
App ks I'm kost HD two.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
Los Angeles, Orange County live
Speaker 3 (36:40):
Everywhere on the radio,
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
We are just days away from TikTok being banned, and
one more day away from the inauguration.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
It is inauguration mania.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Oh get out your wallets and see if you can
get a good spot at the inauguration. Or take your
Chinese company and tell Trump that you want to be
at the inauguration the same company he wanted banned and
started the entire process of banning your company, but now
says it should not be banned. You too, could have
a front row seat to the inauguration. Politico headline, Everyone's
(00:41):
trying to kiss the ring Trump's inauguration, devouring corporate cash
and smashing records. Not only our companies giving far larger
amounts than they did to Trump's first inauguration, when they
didn't have a firm grasp upon a handle misgivings about
the mercurial politician, they're also doing so in a far
more public fashion, announcing the donations months before they have
to be reported to federal regulators. Not only are they
(01:02):
making the donations, they're bragging about it. They're not bragging
to you and me they're bragging because they want him
to know that they're making these massive donations and that
they're not ashamed of it.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
They're trying to win favor. It's a weird world that
we're in right now.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Low weird. Look low weird, low weird. That we've got
a lot of ring kissing going on. The inauguration packages.
By the way, if you want in, you can get
helicopter rides, shopping sprees, and vats of caviar. And I
know what you were thinking, man, I didn't know I
needed a vat of caviare, but now that it's being offered,
(01:43):
I probably need a full vat. Meanwhile, fish are wondering
where all their eggs went. Over a dozen DC hotels
offering inauguration packages and the tens of thousands of dollars
advertising lavish suites and over the top of meenities. The
hot cellar so far as the water Gate who's what
they're calling nonpartisan head of State package has been booked
(02:04):
multiple times. How much seventy three five hundred dollars With that,
you'll get a round trip blade helicopter transportation from New
York to the Reagan National and the Daily Armored You
get a daily armored maybox chauffeur chaffeur t how you
pronounce it. A lot of people say chaffeur, but I
(02:25):
say it correctly, chaffeur chaffeur. That's French maybox. If you're unfamiliar,
that is Mercedes Benz. That's been completely just redesigned from
top to bio. I don't even know how do you
it's it's the It's a luxuried luxury. It's essentially a
(02:45):
sedan limo because if you get the highest end one,
you not only have reclining back seats, Yeah, you get
internet connection, you get like a magnetic hold for all
the champagne that you're going to drink. Yes, and these
are armored and oh yeah, and they're armored and they
have sports car type engine modifications.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Oh yeah, yes, they are great.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Guests also get a tour of the Scandal Suite that
is the site of the infamous break in at the
Watergate hotel, so they're capitalizing on that too. So that's
that's just one thing you could get. Fairmount near Georgetown
offering one of the most luxurious packages. If you thought
seventy three five hundred to stay at the Watergate was
(03:31):
a lot how about the three hundred and fifty thousand
dollars package that included from the Fairmont.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Round trip bearfair for four people.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
And their pet, thank Goodness from anywhere in the United States,
plus four nights in a brand new suite. You'll have
two butlers, a shopping spirit at Sacksmith Avenue for worth
the twenty five thousand dollars, and a special cocktail named
after you for the weekend. So let's call that a
full vanity package. I always get a kick out of
(03:59):
people paying for shopping. For just three hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, you could have a twenty five thousand dollars
shopping spree. What if I just gave you three hundred
and twenty five thousand dollars and to care my own
shopping spring Parkayat offering one hundred thousand dollars presidential package.
You'll get opulent welcome pergs, vnted champagne, a boatload of
(04:20):
caviaar and we went from a vat to a boatload.
Now a private chef's table, afternoon tea from the chef,
personalized presidential robes and slippers, and daily flourishes like fresh
flower bouquets, and bespoke desserts.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
And if you were concerned that by going to the
inauguration you'd have to deal with those pesky flags at
half mass all because we're paying tribute to a deceased president, you.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Won't have to worry about that now.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Since the President alec said it's very wrong, very wrong
to have flags at half mass during his inauguration, a
number of Republicans governors have stepped up, including Greg Abbott,
who really kicked things off in Texas and that got
the ear of Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House,
who said, you know what, we shouldn't be recognizing a
former president here in DC while we're inaugurating someone else. Nope,
(05:16):
let's bring those flags up the full mass.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
A message. This is from KVUE, Austin, Texas.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
A message from House Speaker Mike Johnson, causing some controversy
ahead of President to elect Donald Trump's inauguration next Monday.
The speaker says flags at the US Capitol will fly
at full staff on Monday. It were set to stay
at half staff as part of a thirty day morning
period to honor former President Jimmy Carter, who died back
on December twenty ninth. Johnson says flags will be at
(05:44):
full staff for the inauguration, but lowered once again after
that for the rest of the morning period, which runs
until the twenty eighth of this month. Yesterday, Texas Governor
Greg Abbott announced the same for state buildings here in Texas.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
I know what you're thinking, all these rascally Republicans, what
are they doing? Well, let's tie all of our stories together.
Everyone seems to want to kiss the ring, including Gavin Newsom,
who's now decided that in the state of California, we
also should put our flags at full mast. Yes, give
your flag that little blue pill on inauguration Day and
get it to full staff. But don't worry if it
(06:19):
lasts more than four hours, talk to your doctor, because
you need to bring it back to half masted, half staff,
half whatever the following day, because then we can go
back to paying tribute to Jimmy Carter. You know, I
know why Newsom's doing this, because he goes who cares?
And if I can just extend a little olive branch,
(06:40):
then maybe Trump will not stand by Johnson when he
trust to negotiate.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Relief funding.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Right, I get why Newsom is doing it, because this
is all symbolism.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Nobody really cares.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Nobody cares if if you're spending too much energy on this,
like what is going on in your life, that this
is what you have the time to worry about.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
But obviously there are.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Plenty of people, including Greg Abbott and other Republican governors
and now Knew someone who's like, Okay, we're going to
do this because it just feels like a smart play.
But let me just throw this out for hypothetical. Let's
suppose you know that Trump is not eligible for reelection.
Let's suppose that we are at December twenty ninth, twenty
(07:33):
twenty eight, and let's suppose hypothetically that lane duck President
Donald Trump suffers a horrible heart attack or a stroke
or something of that sort, right, and he.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Leaves this mortal coil.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
So should that happen and Dvance is then to be inaugurated,
Let's say that Advance.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Now, Advance would step up immediately.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
But let's say that he wins the election and it
is to be inaugurated.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
In twenty twenty nine.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Exact same scenario here, would Vance demand that the flags
be at full staff for his inauguration, would the current speaker,
let's say Mike Johnson is still the speaker, would he
say it has to be at full staff.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Now I'm not saying he.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Wouldn't, but I want you to think we're actually setting
a precedent.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Now.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
This will not be the last time that we have
a president a former president pass away in the time
leading up to the inauguration. It will happen again, right,
And maybe that's maybe that's because someone dies in office.
Maybe that's because of the timing or around an election
like we see this time around, it will happen again.
(08:47):
We've set a precedent now, so flags are at half
staff to pay tribute to the deceased president. That's a
thirty day thing. That's standard operating procedure. But now what
we're saying is unless there's an inauguration, then they all
have to come back up. We are changing American tradition
with this, With whatever this is, we're changing it from
(09:10):
here on out. Just mark my words. You won't remember.
It'll happen again. You won't remember. Everybody will start arguing
about it. But I'm telling you, mark my words. Meanwhile,
while this, while the flags are still at the top
of the pole.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Trump is already.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Going to work the day one barrage of promises and
what you can expect to see before the sun goes
down on Monday night.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
That is next.

And I appreciate the opportunity to be here today and
back in tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Mark, Sorry about that, pal, We'll make it me again.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
I appreciate you. You're very tolerant. Well, it's important to
show mercy at a time like this. When it comes
to the inauguration. Do you write a skeleton script.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Ahead of time? Mark? I'm not sure what you mean by.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
That, So do you do you have kind of an outline,
because you know, I mean, we've seen inaugurations before, kind
of like you might have a skeleton obituary for I.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Mean, just like boilerplate stuff that you can right ahead
of time.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Yeah, yeah, you can call it mad libs of news
where you say, yeah, the president was sworn in today
at the you know, the Capitol, and blah blah blah,
and and here's what he had to say, and then
you would, you know, you drop the audio in or
whatever else.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
Well for the things that you can, if they're predictable
or if you want historical background that kind of thing
in there. Yeah, but there are things about this one
that look like they might be kind of unpredictable.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Well, that's that's what I'm thinking too, because it's not
just the inauguration, which side note here, I'm gonna do
a quick aside. Michelle Obama's not going to the inauguration,
all right, she doesn't like Trump.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
I get that.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
So I understand Michelle Obama not going, Barack Obama's going.
But she didn't go to Carter's funeral either. Is there
something going on with her? Because the official word was, oh,
she was on a family vacation, and I thought, oh man,
they said the timing just didn't work out for the funeral.
And I thought, well, I'd dog on Carter. Why didn't
he run that by her first clear the schedule. It's weird,
(11:23):
isn't it.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
You'll have to explain to me why her not going
to the inauguration is news when uh, I'm pretty sure
Trump didn't go to bikes inaugura.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
It is not. He did not. And I here's what
it would not be news save for a couple of
little things.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
One Barack Obama's going and all the other former first
spouses are going. Okay, So that's one thing, all right,
and maybe you go it's not a big deal. She
doesn't go, okay, that's fine. But also she's the one
who said when they go low, we go high.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Right.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
That was her, That was her whole thing, And so
it looks almost petty, which I mean, I'm here for it,
don't get me wrong. But then the other thing is
she wasn't at Carter's funeral leader, and we're kind of
wondering why is she staying? Why are we not hearing
from Michelle Obama? Do we have a Kate Middleton situation
going on here? Is there something we need to know?
Speaker 3 (12:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Things like this are really raised my media double standard radar, though,
because if we really want to keep track of, you know,
the number of occasions Milania has ditched Trump for I
think that would dwarf Michelle Obama, all right, taking the
time out, Except when it comes to Milania ditching Trump,
I think we all kind of assumed.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
She just doesn't want to be around him. So does
that mean that there's trouble in the in the Obama household?
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Do you know something I don't.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
I don't know, because there's a mystery, That's what I'm saying,
Because like when it's Milania, there was a lot of like,
why isn't she at the White House? Why is Milania
not staying there? And we all went, yeah, because she
doesn't want to be around him. I mean we just
kind of came to that conclusion. I feel like Michelle Obama,
there's still a little bit of a mystery.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Well, you're married, you know how it goes.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I know, but you know what, it's one of those
things that if I were going to the inauguration, my
wife would just assume we're going together.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
In fact, let's just give people a look behind the curtain. Yeah,
off the air, I was just advising you to dump
your wife because of her opinion about the nos Faratu movie.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
In fact, I think you were seriously considering it as
far as you know.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
I was. Yeah, yeah, let me see, I actually have this.
Let's see.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
I said, I haven't seen the new nose Feratu. My
wife saw it and said she thought it was too artsy.
Your response, divorce her. I'm serious, I said, beheading in public?
Should I go full Henry the Eighth on her? And
he said, leaving her alone and impoverish should probably be plenty.
I said, should I dig out and drop her in
a buffalo bill hole in the basement like in Silence
of the Lambs.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
You thought that might be a little too much. Yeah,
it's weird when I'm saying that about the rest of
you guys. It is a little I don't like that. No,
I don't like when when you have to be the
voice of reason it seems like things are tapsy turvy.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Yeah, because normally, isn't Tawala kind of holding you back
a little bit?
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
I like to be the transgressive one, so when I'm
when I'm like Dad Brady, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
It's a little weird. Yeah, it makes no sense.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Yeah, So on inauguration and why you can't just use
boilerplate stuff is because once he's inaugurated, do those does
he sign executive orders before he's the president or is
there just a stack of executive orders that as soon
as he gets off the dais he just has to
start signing before he starts to party for the night.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
I don't know how that works, but we know what
he said about all the things that he's going to
do on day one.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Exactly a D word thing.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Yeah, divorce, Oh no, a different one, different D words,
Oh different, gotcha. Bloomberg was going over some of that list.
Speaker 6 (14:44):
By the way, Folds explained to me that the first
forty eight hours.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Or Bloomberg News, not Michael Bloomberg, really going to.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
Be executive order after executive order. Now, this isn't new
for any incoming president, especially when they're handing off power
to the other party.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Cause she's right, every president comes in and has ex
active orders that they're going to sign a day one.
Not abnormal at all. It will be the second time
I used the phrase tonight. The order of magnitude with
this one is different.
Speaker 6 (15:10):
It's give you some color and a sense of what
we expect. Nancy Cook, one of my colleagues here in Washington,
d C has a long list of what the team
is starting to prepare on the energy front, new drilling
on federal lands. As part of his initial push, Trump
is also going to freeze regulations put forth by the
Biden administration that have not yet been finalized when it
(15:31):
comes to federal workers. So they're trying to shrink the
federal workforce by putting a hiring freeze on the government,
mandating that they return to office. Is something we've heard
Elon Musk talk about when he wants a DOGI PI
the country and.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Oh my god, are we going to start saying do
oh that's a word now? Oh oh.
Speaker 6 (15:51):
Then, of course, on immigration, this is going to be
the most important. This is the one the president feels
like he is a mandate from the country on.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
They want to tighten.
Speaker 6 (15:58):
Restrictions on bordercreps us mandate. The government finished the unbuilt
area of the border wall, set up the mechanics to
also carry out mass deportations.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Yeah, but all with a hiring freeze. Oh no, just
a hiring freeze and those departments we don't.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
Like, and also deprive any sanctuary cities of federal resources
until they stop serving as a safe place for migrants.
So it's going to be a very busy first few
days of the Donald Trump administration.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
You know, those are a couple of times now that
we've heard threats toward the state of California. One, you
have to play ball with us or you're not going
to get disaster relief aide. Now, you're not going to
get any cities and things like that, are not going
to get any federal dollars unless you abide by our
new deportation laws, which of course are going to be
challenged in the courts immediately.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Can we just not send money to the federal government.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
The state of California sends more money to Washington than
Washington sends to California.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
So okay, cut us off. Let's just let's just just.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
No more federal taxes going to DC, and then DC
you don't have to send us any federal taxes.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
That seems like a fair trade, doesn't it. Let's just
do that.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Oh sorry, Kentucky, you're screwed because there will not be
as much federal money coming in. But don't worry, you'll
be getting all of what's left because you're gonna play ball.
I just hate this whole give us money so we
can tell you what to do. I hate that stuff,
like it at all. Speaking of money, anybody got an
(17:32):
extra cash come to find out?
Speaker 3 (17:35):
No, it's next.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on Demand from KFI.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
A six Chris Merrill in from O Kelly.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
I am six forty listen anytime on demand of the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Being broke stinks and I hate it.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
My wife and I had a moment a few years back,
and you know, at the time it just made a
lot of sense, but now looking back on it, we go, wow,
that was kind of crazy.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
I had a good radio gig and.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I I didn't follow what I was supposed to follow
as far as what the station wanted. And I said,
that's not a good idea, and the station went, well,
that's what we're gonna do. And I said this is
not great for me, and they said, yeah, you're not
great for us either, and so the contract ended and
that was it.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
So I didn't have a gig, and my wife.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Made pretty good money, but we had a mortgage to
pay and we were in a bunch of debt. And
I had always had some success in my life, and
so I thought, I don't need an emergency fund. I'll
just use credit cards until the next gig comes along.
And I thought, I'm going to have work in no time,
and come to find out, no time is a lot
longer than I expected. So I was doing a lot
(18:48):
of you know, part time filling that kind of thing.
I was bringing in some money. But things started to
get tighter and tighter, and then the credit card bill
kept going up and up and up, and I didn't
change my spending and and things got ugly.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
So we decided, let's get drastic. Now. We could have
kept making payments.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
We could have kept, uh, you know, kind of fighting
the interest every month and tried to slowly come out
of it. But we said, let's do something drastic. So
we sold My wife had a really nice car. We
sold that, uh and then we sold our house and
we moved into a fifth wheel camper. And we lived
in a fifth wheel camper for two years and paid
(19:27):
off all of our debt. And we're fortunate because we
moved in. My parents have a little bit of land
in northern Michigan, and so we parked the camper on
the land. It wasn't like it was a listen It
wasn't a dilapidated camper. It was a few years old,
but it wasn't dilapidated or anything. It was It was
all right, But I don't know if you've ever considered
(19:48):
camping throughout a winter in Michigan.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
It's not a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
That was gonna be my question, like where it sat,
because I know there's a lot of laws against just
parking a trailer.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Yeah, that type of thing.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Are that's that's correct, but they are deep in the
Woods County. Somebody would have had to say, hey, I
think they're living there for it to be a problem.
And we use the facilities inside the house more than
we use the facilities in the campers. So it worked
out really well for us, and I'm forever grateful to
my parents for helping out with that, and we paid
(20:20):
off all of our debt and I got to tell
you the relief it brought was unanticipated. But it also
put us on this path where we said, we do
not want to get into that situation again, do not
want to get into it. Unfortunately, some other people are
in the same position that we were a few years back,
and by the way we're out of that, we're out
of that situation. Now, you know, I got a job.
(20:44):
My wife is an incredible person, very fortunate, and so
you know, we've just kind of decided we don't want
to have that situation again. Let's, uh, let's start saving
some money and make sure that we've got emergency funds
and mortgages are paid and all that kind of stuff.
So we're in a much better place now. But it
was tough. It was hard. And now I see a
headline talking about cash strapped Americans and how all of
(21:08):
a sudden, and I don't know how cash strapped we
are or if we're all using credit cards. Now, I
know the credit card debt has gone way up. Inflation
is out of control. The menu at McDonald's is ridiculous.
And yet McDonald's isn't going out. They're not going under,
so it's not like people aren't buying their McDonald's. But
(21:28):
now shoppers and restaurant patrons around the US are being
choosy about where and how to spend their money, wrestling
with high housing and food prices. To me, it's the
housing costs that are the most outrageous. People are even
trading down from Walmart and aldi excuse me, they're trading
down to Walmart and Aldi.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
I don't know if you saw a story.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
It was a couple of weeks ago they said that
Target was losing customers to Walmart. So Target, I guess,
is considered the fancy place, right, and then they're going
to Walmart instead. Department stores are struggling and some other
are struggling as they're completely changing shopping hab us. Did
you see that Macy's is closing a bunch of stores too.
(22:07):
I see Macy's is they're reconfiguring a bunch of things. Yeah,
I'm not surprised they didn't close a little bit earlier.
Me too, because I mean, no offense to them at all,
Like they got some good stuff, but it just, honestly,
and maybe it's nice to me, but it reminds you
of my grandma. Like, Okay, I'm with you on that, Okay,
I really am. But I feel that way about all
(22:29):
the department stores, the Cohal's, the nord Strims, all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Okay, yeah, fair enough. Yeah, but I'm also a dude.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
I'm not their clientele, and I get that, but I
kind of wonder what the future is going to be
of those those anchor department stores, especially as malls were closing.
They survived somehow, They've done alright. But now Macy's saying
they're going to close one hundred and fifty stores over
the next three years. They are going to open fifteen
higher end Bloomingdale's. I didn't realize that Bloomingdale's was owned
(22:54):
by Macy's, but now I know they had planned to
shut her fifteen or fifty five of those this year,
but now they're going to open fifteen. So Macy's, I guess,
was not expensive enough. So then you go, you have
to go to blooming Deals. So we are shifting our
buying patterns based on what we have for the inflation,
because of inflation, right, But then I start thinking about
(23:17):
what I think is the biggest detriment, and this is
what my wife and I were so concerned with. The
biggest payment that we had every month was our mortgage,
which is why we sold our house. By the way,
worst time to sell our house. We closed on it
January twenty twenty, just weeks before the COVID thing took
off here in America.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Like, we knew about this.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
We knew about this, this illness that was started in China.
We had heard about it, and we're like, well, that's crazy,
and then we closed on our house, and then and
then all of a sudden, you know, the pandemic hits,
and then we have this brief, very brief recession, and
then all of a sudden, housing prices skyrocket, and boyd
we lose out on a bunch of money. That house
(23:58):
has sold a couple of times since it's more than
double the value, So you know, you win some, you
lose them.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
I was gonna say the only worst time would have
been two thousand and.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Eight, exactly, exactly exactly, but now you get it, that's
what happened. But the fact is, though, then once we
wanted to get back into the housing market, all of
a sudden, we found ourselves going, wow, everything is way
more expensive than we expected, which makes you think the
American dream is toast. There's no such thing as the
(24:28):
American the idea of owning a single family home with
two point three kids and a dog and a white
picket fence and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
That's gone, that's totally gone.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
In fact, we've got to the point right now where
the housing shortage is so bad that you know, in
California they're telling people you can't have just single family
only zoning anymore, which means that even if your American
dream was to have that single family home with a
nice yard and white picket fence and all that other crap,
you we are actually saying we don't have the room
(25:03):
for everybody to do that. We have to have more density,
We have to have more condos and apartments and things
like that. When it comes to the American dream in general,
you know, you want two cars in the garage, and
you want to take your kid to soccer practice and
all these other things. According to uh, let me see, Yeah,
it was the Telegraph that had it. But the Telegraph
is telling the story about the American dream. And what
(25:26):
is in the way of the American dream. It is
property values one hundred percent and it is nowhere is
it worse than right here? Nowhere is it worse. It's funny,
I was I pulled audio up.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Yeah, I've got some audio, but I'll just skim through it.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
CNBC had a story about it, and they talked about
the median home price across the country is now up
to you know, it's over four hundred thousand dollars and
people can't afford that, and I thought four hundred thousand dollars.
You know how long a decent place would last on
the market at four hundred thousand dollars in southern California?
Speaker 5 (25:56):
Isn't it more than twice that here? Yes, it's like
hundred thousand dollars, that's what I thought.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Yeah, before you finish that sentence, that's how long it
would last.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
That's exactly right. It would sell in two point two seconds.
It would be a race to see who could get
their name signed fastest. That's what would happen. And so
you talk about the American dream. I don't know how
anybody can have the American dream in southern California. If
you are a millennial, it's not a millennial. There's some
millennials have done it. If you are a gen Z
(26:25):
or younger, what are the odds that gen Z and
younger actually realize what we always grew up with as
a concept of the American dream.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
There's no way. It's extinct.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
You hearally, you hear over and over again about how
our parents and our grandparents could afford a family vacations
in college on one paycheck. Yeah, that doesn't exist anymore now.
The last I read, the last figure I aired was
sixty percent of Americans live paycheck to paycheck and most
of the majority of people don't even have a few
extra one hundred bucks on hand for emergencies. Yeah, that
(26:57):
lifestyle from You'll leave it to Beaver days does exists anymore.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Gone, It's gone.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
And I think this is one of the biggest issues
with the perspective between generations. Older generations just well, you
know we had to sacrifice. Oh, I'm sure you did.
I'm sure that you had. There were some things you
had to wait to get that kind of stuff, but
eventually you could get those things. Maybe you couldn't go
to college and get a house right away, maybe you
had to decide one or the other, uh, and then
(27:24):
and then get the other one later.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Whatever. But nowadays it's like, do you want an education
or do you want a home?
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Because you're you can't have both because your your your
student loans are so crazy right now that you're gonna
be paying those off. And remember when you get out
of college, you're gonna have all these other bills and
you're gonna have these student loans. And if you're not
making extra payments, the interest is gonna grow faster than
you can pay off the principle. All these kinds of things,
you're gonna have to make a decision. You get one
or the other, which is kind of leading some people
(27:55):
to being defeated in the workforce.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Maybe one of them and see if you have these traits.
That's next.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Chris merrill Ian from O Kelly kf I AM six
forty were live everywhere in your iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
You know, I was just talking to the last segment
about the American Dream is ded.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
This spells dead, Jed, You're not gonna be able to
afford it.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
A lot of people are feeling hopeless, and it doesn't
help if you have what some are identifying as a
toxic leader. Toxic leaders can lead to zombie employees. I
would also argue that employees that are not engaged at
work can lead to frustrated leaders, which could then give you,
I guess, zombie leadership. Are you a zombie employee? You
(28:45):
know I started reading the list of characteristics of a
zombie employee and I don't want to point fingers here,
but Mark I gotta tell you a pal.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Look at the time, is just about time to go
to the You just tell me, you just tell me,
Just tell me how this goes.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Zombie employees they arrive at work as late as possible
to leave as early as they can.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
You know, I don't.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
I don't think we suffer from that problem here, And
you've kind of a four in the door kind of guy.
Speaker 5 (29:15):
I think we donate quite a bit of our own
free time to the iHeart Corporation.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Yeah, but I feel like you're complaining about it, So
I'm gonna go ahead and put you down from I
can't win. Zombie employees take long lunches and consistently return
late from meetings.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
Mark, you don't even go to the meetings.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
I do not take lunches. All right, there you go
kind of getting railroaded here, Tawala. You want to help
out zombie employee. It's he's enjoying it. He's enjoying it.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
I am.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Zombie employees never asked questions, They never correct mistakes or
share insights during team meetings. We can't even get marked
to go to the team meetings. Oh boy, I'm one too,
Yeah you too. That describes me in a meeting. Oh,
we got to go to them, but I don't say anything.
We're surrounded by the zombies. Uh you know I feel
about the zombie. Yeah, yeah, I know. You already got
(30:05):
that dull rusty machete.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Ready to go off?
Speaker 5 (30:08):
We go.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Okay, all right, back to my royalty free sound effects.
Where are we?
Speaker 3 (30:14):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Yes, Zombie employees never stay late except to take care
of personal business using office equipment and supplies. Uh yeah,
I think it's yeah, Mark, we've been looking for that stapler.
By the way, I wanted to point that out. A
lot of people say that the last person they saw using.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
The stapler was you, the red staplers in the basement,
just so you know.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and add that one for
you too. I like it.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
We're on the same page on that one. Let's see,
Zombie employees never do anything to make their leader look good.
Well that's okay, that's two for you on that one. Yeah, okay, good.
Zombie employees push all their deadlines to the very end.
Nothing is ever completed early. Now I know why you
don't show me a rundown before the show starts. Yeah, yeah, no,
(30:59):
this is deaf, really why yeah, uh there, zombie employee.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
I mean, obviously your attitude sucks.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Zombie employees quality of work is what you would expect,
painfully pedestrian, no frills, just the bare essentials.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Yeah that's that.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Yeahs let me see what else?
Speaker 3 (31:21):
What else does Mark? Oh I'm sorry. Zombie employees not Mark. Uh.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
They are consistently uninquisitive and supine. They display a dearth
of intuitive competence. Yes, supine, Mark, supine. Yeah it was
in my high school yearbooks.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
Supine.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
That's right, we always become We always thought your newscasts
were a little bit supine.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
And then my favorite this is raun or to a
t posh Is this you too? Zombie employees are essentially
dead behind the eyes, completely disconnected.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Yeah, there we go. I guess that kind of spoke.
It's a good thing.
Speaker 5 (32:03):
My self esteem is so healthy.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
But I got a note the last time it was
the most that I was too nice to you.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
So okay, that's why I wouldn't want anybody to make
things easy for me. No, I've got to kick the
sport out of it. But you do know people that
we I mean, we've all worked with people like that, right,
and you just gotta go, why are you even here?
Speaker 2 (32:28):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (32:29):
Why are you even like? They just drag everybody else down?
Speaker 2 (32:33):
And what's usually worse is or not usually what is
worse is when you have that person with that mentality
and they just happened to be making twice as much as.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
Oh, you're right, so hard? Do you know what?
Speaker 2 (32:49):
I've always admired the people that know how to fail up?
And I just thought, how do I what is the
characteristic that they have that they can fail up? Because
that's what I need. I need to be that guy.
Every time I get canned, I end up in a
bigger radio. Wait a minute, this is Market two. That's
not bad. Actually, come to think about it, I might
have mastered this.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
You did what.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
I'm trying to think right now? Last market too? Right, yeah, yeah,
it is Market two. Last time I got canned, it
was a much smaller place. All right, Well, maybe I
have nothing, Maybe you're out of it back for me
all of a sudden here, huh, all right.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
I think you need a ding for that, one little
ding for me?
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Then, all right, a part of the Human Resources Director magazine,
which I know you guys have already read through, So
this is nothing new to you. Love their centerfolds have
very good stuff. Oh the pants suits? Did you see
the sales that they were offering on the pantsuits?
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Really good?
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Uh? What out of five people are thriving at work?
Which means four out of five people are not. What
does it mean to be thriving at work?
Speaker 3 (33:59):
Pretty much?
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Everything that was just the opposite of what we just
told you about zombie employees. They have a number of
well work well being indicators, happiness, satisfaction, purpose, and low stress.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Aren't there some of us though?
Speaker 2 (34:13):
And I will not point fingers here because I've already
had enough fun at your expense. I'll tell you this
my wife, I've said this to her before, and she
always argues with me. But I say, she's not happy
unless she's stressed. She doesn't feel like she's working hard
enough unless she's feeling stressed. If that stress is not
at a certain level, she feels like she's not earning
her paycheck. So fifty nine percent of people agree that
(34:37):
they feel stressed at work most of the time.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
I think that's kind of the American way. Well that's
what work is.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
I kind of yeah, But I see where he's coming
from because I kind of understand that because there's another
radio guy that I follow, and he came from the bottom,
literally from the bottom to the top, and it's almost
more difficult to be at the top because who are
you racing up? Who are you racing against? Now you're
your top dog, people are trying to catch up to you.
(35:04):
So I mean, she's confusing stress with like motivation, because
that's what I kind of hear is coming from your wife,
that could be Yeah, she always feels like she has
more that she can be doing exactly, and when you're
not doing it, you feel like you're lazy or you're
not putting in one hundred percent, And so you'd go like,
oh man, And I've had this conversation with my parents
(35:25):
all the time.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
Just like yeah, you do this and this and this
and this and this. You're fine. I'm like, yeah, I know,
but I could be doing more, could be doing this,
and what if I did.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
And part of that, too is I think that it's
instilled in some of us when we're young. My father
is a workaholic, and he was instilled in me that
you need to be doing more, you need to be
doing stuff for the company. You need to be doing
extra time and all these other things that the younger
generations are more of a no. If I'm working, you
need to be paying me. And my father was always
the guy that was like, you need to be giving
them extra time so that they'll they'll they'll keep you.
(35:54):
And I thought, but I mean, I do my job,
and I do it well, and I go, I go
above and beyond. But at some point there's got to
be I know, it's a hip thing to say. Now
is the work life balance? There has to be some,
doesn't it, or else we just we toil away, we
collect our watch after fifty years and then we die.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
There got to be more than that. I agree.
Speaker 5 (36:13):
Americans have kind of been gas lit into that work
ethic thing that a lot of other countries don't have.
I had to have a year abroad in Scotland to
realize that there's sometimes where you can just be. You
don't have to beat yourself up about not doing stuff.
Mark your attitude sucks.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
I know, I know.
