Speaker 1 (00:22):
I Am six forty is later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
We're live on YouTube, We're live on Instagram, We're live
on the iHeartRadio app. And here's a quick update. It's
been a whole twenty four hours and we've not received
a declaration email from Arnold Robinson regarding Eddie Murphy. So
we're still in the hut. We're still in the hunt.
We've never gotten this far in the game. You know
(00:45):
how you go to uncharted territory in a video game.
It's like, I don't know what to do now. We've
never gotten this far. Well, we're further in the game
than ever before. They haven't turned us down as of yet,
because usually Arnold will hit us back immediately inside of
an hour or two with an email saying Eddie is
not available to participate.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
So I'm having a flashback into the Dumb and Dumber
movie where Jim Carrey says, so that's not a no.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Are you on our team or now yes?
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Oh, I want this to happen for you because you're obsessed,
and we're saying, and the hashtag, what's the hashtag again?
You guys were talking about it last night, waiting for
Eddie hashtag waiting for Eddie like waiting for Cado.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Really, yes, waiting for Eddie. Momigos, you know what to do.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
You can see it right now if you tune into
the YouTube show, you can see it. Waiting for Eddie
Day one. We have one day in now. It doesn't
mean that we'll get any response at all.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Okay, awesome, I just saw that.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Doesn't mean that. But at least for now, that's so cool.
As far as I'm concerned, we're still in the running.
We have not been eliminated from contention. Fingers still cross.
So we'll have a waiting for Eddie update each day
until they tell us no. If they tell us no.
But coming up later on the show tonight, get ready.
(02:02):
The heat wave is coming to California and we have
to prepare accordingly. That means prepare for yourself, Prepare for
your pets, Prepare for the elderly, anyone in your household.
We'll have some information for that. Along those lines. Hospitals
are also preparing. We have an La Metro update, and
let me give you the short end of it.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
It's not good and people don't feel safe there. It is.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
We'll tell you more in just a moment. At the
bottom of the hour. And what would you do if
you're on a flight and it gets diverted because someone's
pet falls ill. I don't know how I would respond.
If I'm on a NonStop flight from there to Los
Angeles and all of a sudden we stop off and
maybe I don't know Minneapolis because someone's dog got sick.
(02:51):
We'll tell you about that before the hour's through. And
here we go, Mark. If you go to a.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Party, you know, like a wine and cheese party mixer.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
I go to tonne of wine and cheese parties, appetizers.
You know me so well.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Do you ever take your potato chip, dip it, take
a bite, and then dip that same chip back in
the dip?
Speaker 3 (03:14):
No, that's grounds for immediate excommunication from all your friends.
You're not cool with double dipping. You can double dip
with maybe your spouse, your significant other, but that's it,
or your kids.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
H Are you down with double dipping?
Speaker 4 (03:27):
I don't even know about that, Mark, Really no, I
will tell my kids here you can have your own.
Do not put your chip in my food. Here, I
will pipy of your plate. Have your own, don't dip
into mind? What about double dip?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Like, well, okay, so in polite society outside the family,
absolutely not. You're you're a filthy animal if you do that.
But like when you were married, would you would you
not like take a bite out of the same sandwich?
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Is your wife? Oh?
Speaker 3 (03:54):
No?
Speaker 4 (03:54):
That you know, things that piss me off the whole thing.
Can I have some of your No? I think you
just ordered.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
No, that's a whole separate issue. So let's stay focused
just on on sharing germs. That's what we're talking about.
We're talking about sharing germs.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
There are times that I will share germs with my wife, right,
you know what, But if I'm at like a public function,
and let's say I'm at a fight party and we're
going to get into this in depth in the second hour.
But if I'm at a fight party and there's a
bowl of chips in depth and everyone, look, I have
a problem with people just putting their dirty.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Ass hands in the chips.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
That's number one, right, and put it on your plate
and then you take it from your plate. Yes, let's
say I take it from my plate and I put
it in the dip, the community dip, and I take
a bite of that chip and they're still chipping my hand.
I am not allowed by law, biblical law, to put
that same chip back in that dip.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I get slapped.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Okay, But but there's now research out that double dipping
scientifically may not lead to germ spread.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I don't care. We're gonna get into it an hour
or two. So keep your powder dry.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
And we have an ongoing conversation in a way about cannabis.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
You know that I'm not a fan.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
And when I say I'm not a fan, invariably someone
will email me. Someone will reach out to me in messages.
Sometimes it's a text message, someone I personally know. Someone
will send me a message on Instagram, and invariably they
will tell me it's like, well, mo, you know that
cannabis is safer than alcohol is.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
It's non addictive and doesn't have the.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Health it won't necessarily be as unhealthy as alcohol.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Well.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I've always argued that we have not had the body
of study long term impact of use of marijuana, if
only because relatively recently have we had it legalized where
you could effectively study it and the use of it
over the period of years and even a generation. Yep,
some of that, some of that information is in and
(06:13):
it's not good for you. Daily cannabis users will tell
you about that. Wait a minute, is this from doctor's
cheech and or chong? We are you getting no doctor
r f K Junior. Yeah, yeah, we know how reliable
that is. No, it's actually from a study. I don't
know how legitimate it is. You can come to your
own conclusion.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Look, Mark is going to be against it.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (06:35):
How am I suddenly the spokes model for this puff
puff past of the four of us? Of the four
of us on this show, which one of us looks
like a stoner.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Looks like a stone? What about who is a stone?
But you looks is?
Speaker 4 (06:54):
I will not be in this fashioned now indulge you
and Foosh could do a cheating Joe.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I'll come on. Yeah. I used to. I used to evade,
but it started to affect my throat, so I switched
to edibles. Okay, Mark, I believe in the law. That's
all I'm gonna say. We know it's it is the law.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Your honor permission to treat as a hostile witness asked
and answered, I've been in depositions, your honor.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
He's already before. When you say your runner, you're are
you calling my name? It's like you're saying your honor. Yes, yes,
I'm We're not giving you a honor. We're saying your honor,
your honor.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Move on.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
You are not the judge in this trial. You're not
the presiding I've just declared myself on the show.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
My friend. You're out of order. You're all out of order.
You are insane. You can't handle that truth. Whole systems
out of order. Who are you, Nino Brown? He's hiding
from the law.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
I will not go along with this railroading that you're attempting.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
It's Later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
We have a heat wave update when we come back,
and it is day one officially of waiting for Eddie
as an Murphy. KFI AM six forty Life everywhere, the
iHeartRadio app on YouTube looking at you right now and
also on Instagram.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
The weather was kind of weird today, or at least
where I'm living. KFI AM six forty YouTube, Instagram, iHeartRadio app.
It's Later with mo Kelly. When I was waking up
and over the course of the early part of the day.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
It was kind of overcast, was cool.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
It was wondering, like, am I gonna put on my
spring clothes or I'm gonna put on my winter clothes?
And then I saw the news report that it's going
to be real hot, and I knew it was gonna
be hot ter, but it didn't. I couldn't reconcile what
was going on in my neighborhood versus what we're supposed
to be getting ready to experience. And at least one
(09:00):
California hospitals preparing for a surge in patients presenting with
heat related illness as a heat wave is coming all
across this state. Now, the National Weather Service has already
issued a guidance ahead of the surge and temperatures this weekend,
and it varies inland versus the coastline and so forth.
But we told you about Anealo Valley and other places
(09:21):
which are going to be over one hundred degrees this weekend.
I bet you didn't know this. I didn't know this,
and I don't know if you know this what I'm
going to pass it on. Did you know that extreme
heat causes more than twelve hundred deaths in the US
each year, just the heat. I'm not talking about the
extreme winter. We know about the cold and how people
(09:41):
will die during the winter, but sometimes we forget about
the extreme heat all around the country. We talked yesterday
how dry heat may feel differently than the humidity of
the East Coast, the Midwest, and the south. Nonetheless, one
hundred and two is one hundred and two, and there'll
be an a lot of areas in southern California and
(10:02):
central California which will top one hundred degrees. Now, I
can't speak for the totality of the weather. Maybe Mark
Ronner knows.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
It's done. It's okay, Oh, thank you for that.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
What's the question Marris I had had to pull up?
I want clarification, please, Okay William for those who don't know,
he and I have the same middle name or something
like that.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Yes, the question was beyond California, or I should say
maybe just in California. Am I accurate in sharing the
information that we should expect one hundred degree temperatures over
some of southern California and central California.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Yeah, it's going to be hot until Sunday. Sunday will
get I think maybe a ten degree break.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Okay, all right, So if you have plans, please keep
If you're going to be outside, or you're going to
be with people who would be more susceptible to the heat,
you have to be mindful of the temperatures which you'll
be experiencing, definitely on Saturday, and hospitals are preparing for
the likelihood of people who are not prepared for the
(11:18):
heat who end up having to go to the hospital
because of heat exhaustion or heat stroke, or or some
combination thereof, and it can be very dangerous. You may
think that, oh, it's just maybe ninety ninety five degrees,
but let's say you're a little bit older. Let's say
you haven't had enough water to drink. That's something else
that I swear by. I only drink water with my meals,
(11:42):
something that helps me from getting dehydrated. And let's say
you're someone who likes to maybe go to a baseball game.
You may go to a baseball game, you have a
beer or two, and you're sitting out in the sun
and you're not drinking water. Next thing you know, you
are suffering from heat exhaustion and dehydration.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
And you see it. Whenever I go to a Dodger's game.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Invariably, I will see someone, especially if it's a hot day,
being carted away on a stretcher, because they most likely
had some beer or some alcohol in that sun. And
then you're out there for two hours or three hours.
The next thing you know, they're having to call the paramedics.
So this is something that you must be mindful of
(12:23):
in advance. And it doesn't take a lot, and it's
something I do and Twallet you see me.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
I drink nothing but water.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
I'll get the occasional power aid because I just want
some taste every now and then.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
But I just drink water. And you always clown me.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
We were talking about having the donuts and everything. What
do I wash you down with water?
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Cookies?
Speaker 6 (12:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Right, water? Water, nice cold water with that sweep. So
I was gonna ask when it's so when you go
out to dinner, like with your wife, and you get
like a steak or something, or you get whatever you get,
you still just have water, always water, so that like water. No,
it's got to be flat. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
I don't want any type of carbonation. And it's rare
that I will have wine with my meal.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
That's just that that's not it just does water. Yeah,
I just take water, like when you have like a cocktail.
Is it just that's on its own. No, But I'll
also have water alongside. If I have my water down
the cocktail.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Yes, yes, I'm being serious because I'll get my jack
double neat okay, and then I'll also have a glass
of water so I'm not dehydrated at the end of
the evening. It's the dehydration that cort the hangover. Yeah, Mark,
come on, help me out with this one. I want
a bit of the hangover, so you're chasing it away immediately.
But if I go to sleep after having my jacket
(13:38):
not having an equal amount of water, that's how I
wake up with feeling like I was licking the rug
and my head is stolen.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Careful, careful, you know? Do I mean that carpet the carpet?
You're not help. That's not better. No, I'm like.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
A shag choose your words? Did not when going to bed? No,
this is just changed that allgether. I don't know what
you think you're doing.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
I'm sure your wife is used to it, but did
she think Hey wait, wait, per Okay, see, let's say
let's take a step back. Okay, keep my wife out
of this conversation. Somebody's getting smacked, you were saying, Chris Rock. No,
(14:29):
she's probably used to it now that you have water
all the time. But did she think that was weird
used to what drink water with everything?
Speaker 2 (14:36):
I don't think she thought it was weird because she
is healthier than I am and just about everything, so
me drinking water didn't seem strange. And it's something I
actually got from my father because he would only have
water at his meals, and and it was.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Something that I just kind of along the way.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
No, I don't do like cranberry juice. Maybe when I know,
when I'm on a cruise and I'm a little less
stringent about what I drink. Yeah, they don't have like
a cranberry juice orange juice at breakfast. But I don't
buy the sweetened juices. I just don't. You won't find
them in my house.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
So you just like that, Just mister h try mixers.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
So homemade lemonade like that. That's Fourth of July. That's
Fourth of July only celebrations. And you've seen it. No,
you've seen it.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
When we come over to the house, will have the homemade
e limonade, and my sister will bring the sangree or something.
That's the time that I may partake, but I'm very
conscious about not being dehydrated.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Is she the same way my sister? No, your wife
like with the water.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
No, she she'll have other stuff that she'll drink with
her meals. She's not as strict as I am when
it comes to water with meals.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
So this is just you. Yeah, that's pretty much. But
why is this fucker? Do you just think that's hilarious?
It's like my mouth is just dry thinking about it.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Oh, this is strange because I've been waiting to mock
you for your polo shirts and these guys are zeroing
in on your water consumption, which is entirely normal.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Okay, let's go to the Motown chat. The mo migos
are talking on YouTube. Tommy Godlow says, there's so many
delicious drinks out there, MO, you're missing out.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
No, I'm not. I'm just saying I would. He's right.
Mario says, I'm the same way as Mo. So Mario says,
I only drink water all day. Thank you, thank you, Mari.
Lights in your water? What about like the crystal light.
That's too much, damn work.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
I just let me just get the water, the filter
from the drink, the water go. I'm not trying to
open up that little packet and shake it.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
They have it. No, they haven't over you just squirted in.
They have crystal lights. Yeah, it's not a big that's
what I have. It's not a big deal. Okay, what
is wrong with me? Just drinking water? Straight up? Now?
Speaker 4 (16:48):
An alcoholic and I drink a bunch chat drink water,
but just with the meal, something tasty to wash it down,
not just water.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
You need something tasty. I just need something to wash
it down. Tommy good love once to know if you
have water when we go to the movies. I don't remember. Yeah,
get a bottle, wall, get a bottle of water. Yeah
that's right, he did. Yeah, that's what he does. I'm
this water. It's weird.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
I don't understand, not that y'all asked, but I feel
compelled to defend myself. It makes other bodily functions much smoother. Okay,
this is true. I'm being very honest. I love that
this is where it marked back to you.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
No, hey, hey, watch your mouth. I'm not a position
I wanted to be. That's where we are.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
I just think, Yeah, you can drink enough water in
a day, but when you get to a meal, take
a break, have something taste.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Are you one of these kind of people who has
to have something sweet to drink all the time?
Speaker 1 (17:40):
That the no, no, no, I no, I don't have
to worry about diving.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
I have a bottle with me that I refill with
water all day long. I drink at least six of
these sixteen ounces or actually this is actually a twenty
ounce bottle. I drink about six of these a day.
But when I sit down, I want to eat my meal.
I want something.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Tasty, like what anything? So okay?
Speaker 2 (18:00):
I don't drink juices, buy and large. I don't drink
any soda at all.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
No, that's fine.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
None and my only real indulgence. And I reserve it
for Saturdays. Jack, Yeah, that's my you know, I'm completely down.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
I'm gone Saturdays. This type of I don't know, Like,
are you a Mormon?
Speaker 1 (18:21):
A Mormon? A Mormon? I send your hate mail at
mister Twalla. I will say this, though he's only got
the one wife, he doesn't mess around when it comes
to Jack. Yeah, because I drink with him once and
he right, we were at the movie theater. Yeah, so
he goes pretty hard in on it. So I'll give
him that. But he's alcoholic, no what he does have it? Yeah,
(18:46):
it's fine. I told you when I was on this ship,
I was like six jacks in. I mean, I.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Don't I'm not trying to present myself as someone who's pristine.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Six is good. I like that. Okay. Yeah, I don't
like defending you, but I'm in favor of that, Thank
you very much. All right, how are you gonna mock
me being somewhat healthy. No, it's just there's limits.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
And then you go from zero to one hundred, like
you go from water to alcohol.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
You don't have nothing. No, no.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Listening to the conversation, I said, when I have my jack,
I'm chasing it with water.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
To avoid.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
It's that balance that makes the occasional drink okay to have.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
I don't have hangovers. I do not for that reason.
It is so weird to see marketing on the goodness.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
You just need to get better as you get older,
should learn something.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Don't have any hangovers. You can laugh at me all
you want, but I do not have hangovers. Hang under
your teeth. You need teeth in your old right, I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Here's another thing for you young drink No, look, we
gotta go to break.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
I know.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
For the young drinkers out there, don't get bogged down
with these mixers.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
If you're going to get these exotic drinks with all
this sugar, you know, the that's how you get sick.
I don't mess you up. That's how you get hangovers.
You want to go straight to the alcohol. Mainline, the alcohol,
not the mixers. That's why I get Jack neat. You
don't need jack and coke. It's extra sugar. He's right, Wow,
thank you mister. I mean you guys something like two
(20:20):
old men sitting in them but enjoying our drinks.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
That's for sure. Lady cats, they don't know how to drink.
They do, they don't.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Tommy Goblin says, Mo must have a gallon of water
next to his bed at night. No, it's it's only
it's only sixteen ounces. It's not a gallon. Laugh all
you want, it's okay, I'm not sensitive.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
It's later with Mo Kelly.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
If I am six forty live on YouTube, Instagram, any
iHeartRadio app. Of course you could hear we're talking to
the folks in Motown, the mo migos, they have their comments,
will reach your comments live on air.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
I remember my standing rights for me wins, I remember
old man next to me.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Mantra kf I AM six forty is Later with Mo Kelly.
We're live on YouTube, Instagram, and the iHeartRadio app. And
we had a very robust conversation in the hallway that
we're going to start putting on YouTube specifically for the
show where we'll have a conversation on air and it
(21:47):
carries off air in the hallway. So we'll add those
to the YouTube special so you can see that and
a just in addition to the live broadcast. But we
were so far overlapt segment is going to truncate this segment,
but I have to get to this. We talk about metro,
we talk about safety or lack thereof, and I tell
(22:07):
people all the time, safety is a feeling. It's not
something which is tangible. You could do X, you can
do Y, you could do Z, and people either feel
safe or they don't. And the feeling of lack of
safety or security is not invalid. It doesn't mean that
Metro may not be trying everything they can.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
They're not. They're not there yet.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
But I'm saying one doesn't necessarily dictate the other. Here's
a perfect example of that. Or like before, when they
talked about the safety or the crime statistics and they say, hey,
you know, crime is down five percent, and I say, well,
can someone feel five percent safer?
Speaker 1 (22:43):
You know, either you feel safer, you don't.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
You don't have varying levels of feelings of safety.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Feel safe or you don't. This is what I mean.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Let's say that you're a high school student, a young person,
an adolescent like David Igera. He has an hour and
a half commute between South LA and Roosevelt High School
in Boyle Heights where he goes to school. This is
what David had to say, quote using public transportation, I
feel unsafe. It's unsanitized. Who said that? Who has been saying.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
That all the time? That's me? He goes on.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
He's seventeen, by the way, there's always crime happening around,
and as a student, it feels really dangerous. David seems
very mature for his age. Again, he said, there's always
crime happening around, and as a student, it feels really dangerous.
Close quoth I have always said that you need to
have the Metro police force. You need to have an
(23:42):
officer if possible, on the buses, on the trains, on
the platforms. Does that eliminate crime, absolutely not. But you
are increasing what I would call this safety quotient. You're
doing as much as possible to increase the likelihood of
having an eventless journey, in other words, something where nothing happens,
(24:04):
where you don't have an incident, where you don't have
a criminal episode, and you're doing all that you can
is Metro to increase the safety quotion or you're mitigating
the crime. You're mitigating the times in which people are
going to be made uncomfortable or going to be harassed.
That's all that you can do. Metro is not at
(24:26):
that point. They've been implementing half measures. They're doing a
little bit of this, a little bit of that, nibbling
around the edges. They're not doing all they can which
would help people, say it with me feel safer. And
if you're a young person, going back to David Ighera
in the story, I can empathize and understand where he's
(24:47):
coming from. Let's say you're going to school and you
have your school computer. Depending on the school you go,
you might be given one of those chromebooks that you're
responsible for. That's a value that makes you a target.
Let's say you have your own I don't know, MP
three player, or your own phone. Those things are value
that make valuable. That makes you a target. I understand,
(25:09):
especially with any gang activity, why you would feel uncomfortable
being on Metro. And he also details where a lot
of his classmates and other people his age they also
either this is my interpretation, they're carrying weapons or some
sort of deterrent for would be harassers, people who would
(25:32):
try to victimize them. If he's seventeen and feels unsafe
when he is physically more a depth than most people
to protect himself, how how do you think a forty
five year old woman would feel. How do you feel
think a sixty year old woman would feel. How would you,
as a mother who has two children with her feel.
(25:56):
We're talking about feeling safe. All these things work together.
The only way that you're going to change how safe
people feel is making sure that people know that you're
doing everything within your power Metro to make people safer,
and then after a protracted length of time, then writers
(26:19):
can begin to feel safer. If I told you that
you're getting on an airplane and that airliner is not
doing everything they can to make sure that you're going
to arrive safely at your destination, would you feel safe?
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
If you knew fundamentally that such and such airlines is
not doing everything within its power to make sure that
the plane you get on and the pilots who are
at the controls are doing everything they can to make
sure that you safely arrive at your next destination, there's
no way in the world that you will ever feel safe.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Now.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
They can tell you, hey, we're checking our planes once
every two weeks, or they can say hey, we hire
the top mechanics, but if you know they're not doing everything,
you will never feel completely safe.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
There is some commonality here.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
There is a point of comparison, because we know that
Metro's not doing everything within its power as of yet
to make sure everyone feels safe. And the security component
is inextricably linked to the Metro transit authority, which is
supposed to be on the metro ped which needs to
(27:35):
be on these trains, on these buses, on these platforms.
Not until then, and only then will people begin to
start feeling safeer, just like young David Guerra, and not
a moment before. It's Later with Mokeli k IF I

Speaker 5 (28:17):
You're listening to. Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Is Later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
We live on YouTube, Instagram, and the iHeartRadio app. And
imagine this. Let's say you're on a flight from Detroit
to Los Angeles on Memorial Day. In other words, you're
traveling probably home for the holiday weekend to close out
the holiday, and most likely if you're flying Detroit to
La that is a non stop you're thinking, when you
(28:46):
get on the plane, you're gonna stay on the plane
until you reach your destination. But Delta flight six ninety
four departed Detroit around five thirty pm, and we'll schedule
to arrive at Lax five hours later.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
That's a NonStop flight.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
But the flight ended up detouring to Minneapolis due to
a medical emergencies. Well, you think, yeah, I can understand
that if someone fell ill on the flight and they
needed immediate medical attention, of course you would probably detour
to the nearest place that you could land and then
have paramedics handle and help that person. The crew, though
(29:24):
on this flight, was informed that a dog on the
flight had become ill, and a veterinarian who happened to
be on board was assisting with its care. Ultimately, the
decision was made to divert the plane to the nearest
major airport so the pet and its owner could deplane.
(29:45):
Medical personnel were on the ground waiting for the plane's arrival,
met the dog and its owner after they deborded, and
a diversion delayed one hundred and eighty one passengers and
six crew members for more than two hours. And here
is The question is a very simple and basic one.
Would you be upset? Would you be understanding? Would you
(30:08):
be sympathetic? Mind you you thought you're on a NonStop flight,
and there's a distinct possibility that not everyone on this
flight was going to end their trip in LA. If
you've ever flown before, you'll fly in LA and some
people go on to Seattle, They're going to San Diego,
They'll go on to San Francisco or maybe even Phoenix,
(30:28):
depending on the airline and the route. I know a
lot of people were inconvenience. Now, it's one thing when
I would tell you that it had to do with
a person, But we're talking about someone's dog. And I
say this as a dog owner, I don't know how
I would feel as a traveler because I paid for
(30:50):
the non stop. Now, now we would have to ask
the question, now, did the airline offer any I don't know, discount?
Did they give like some a rebate a free flight?
This is Delta? What do they do to compensate the
passengers who were inconvenience? Because I'm thinking, you have to
do something for the people you inconvenience.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
I'm not blaming the dog. I'm not even blaming the
owner of the dog.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
I'm saying that as a business, if I pay for
a NonStop flight and I don't get that NonStop flight
and I'm getting in two hours later, and possibly I
missed my connection, you gotta do something for.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Me, right.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
I love the dog, but you gotta do something for me.
I didn't want to spend an extra two hours in Minneapolis.
I've been to Minneapolis.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
There ain't.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Nothing there. There's nothing in Minneapolis. There's a mall, that's it.
There's a Target headquarters, not much else. I don't want
to go to Minneapolis. The last time I was in
Minneapolis was two thousand than eight, and that was for
the r NC. That's the last time. That was the
first and last time I've been to Minneapolis. Nothing special there.
(32:08):
And I know, if I'm flying from Detroit to LA
I would like to fly NonStop five hours and then
it turned into an eight hour trip. Am I being
unreasonable here? Am I being unfair here? Because on my
ticket it says I'm going straight to LA And I
know stuff happens. The dog got sick, sick, and you
(32:28):
had a veterinarian who confirmed the dog is sick.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
That being said, not my problem, not my problem.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
I was I'd be feeling like I'm Ivan Drago if
he dies, he dies? Is that being unfair? I don't
think so. It is that being heartless? Is that being cruel?
Because if we if we diverted every time someone got sick,
not deathly ill, but sick, there would be a real
(33:05):
problem with airline travel.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
I just have to say, the dog is just going
to have to tough it out for another three to
a half hours.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
What's the worst that could happen? Okay, it dies, but I.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Mean it's going to take at least another two hours
before they got that dog to a dog hospital.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Delta. What owe be some money that much? I do
know that much.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
I do know, And that's part of reason serious point,
that's part of the reason why I do not fly
with my dogs. I do not because I'm not going
to put my dogs in that position, and I'm not
going to put fellow passengers in that position.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
And I've noticed when I get.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
On planes now, everybody in their mama wants to bring
their dog on the plane. That's a new phenomenon. I
never experienced anything like that. And I'm not talking about
service dogs. I'm talking about their pet rover and they'll
put and some are not even in like any type
of container. They're just on the plane, sitting where you
(34:07):
put your luggage under the seat. Some dogs are very
well behaved, some are not. Some are not, and I'd
have to think I didn't pay for that. Air travel
is getting more and more uncomfortable, and we've gotten more
and more permissive when we fly. All I know is
(34:29):
if you bring your dog on and your dog gets sick,
that's on you.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
You made that decision. Don't penalize me.
