Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
CAFI Later with Mo Kelly Live on YouTube and the
Heart Radio app. And speaking of YouTube, which is our
visual simulcast, it would be in your best interests if
you would like to have a heads up on when
we're giving away the Disney four pack tonight that you
(00:30):
are watching the show on YouTube, because the mo migos,
they're going to get a heads up. I'm going to
tell them before I tell you listening right now, I'm
just saying if you would like to have a heads.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Up, and I'm not going to tell you when the
heads up is coming.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
I'm just saying those who are watching the YouTube show
will get the information first. They will be ahead of
everyone else in a sense of knowing when to be
by the phone at mister bo Kelly on YouTube. And yes,
we'll eventually get to Kim john Oun and North Koreans
checking women for their breast implants. We'll get to that story,
(01:10):
but there's something much more important that I need to
finish up with Mark Runner from the last hour, and Mark,
I know you have.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
News to do. No, No, I'm fine.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Well, I was hoping you did have news to do,
so I could run a steamrolling that's right, unimpeded. Last eight,
we were talking about Wendy's upgraded chicken tenders and I
was running down the things that I liked did not
like about chicken tenders, and we went all the way
around the barn and Mark made a comment something to
(01:40):
effect up, especially with McDonald's chicken McNuggets, you would prefer
chicken tenders which are at least or chicken products which
are more reminiscent of the animal that it came from, right.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Yeah, not something that came out of the Star Trek
food transformer, do hickey whatever.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
And I would say, how is it that that's any
different from looking at a hamburger and seeing a cow.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Well, it's all about the texture, isn't it. Because there
is no fibrous texture in a chicken McNugget like with
an actual piece from an actual chicken. And the same
with ground beef. You can tell the difference between ground
beef and things that are other. Have you eat a
hot dog in your life? Probably not as many as you.
(02:26):
I don't usually eat that kind of stuff, but I have.
Your body's a temple, Well not when it comes to booze.
But occasionally I've gotten weak at Costco because they're a
dollar and a half there. Yeah, and if you have
to have a hot dog, the ones at Costco aren't
that bad.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
No, I'm with you on that.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I know hot dogs are not healthy for you, and
I try to stay away from them, but after a
while they just call my name and it makes it
very difficult.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Yeah, but I'm not gonna sit here and tell you
a hot dog is health food. That's some of the
unhealthiest stuff you can eat. In fact, we had studies
that were in the news here within the last six
months or so saying something along the lines of every
hot dog you.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Eat takes thirty minutes off of your life.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
And I heard that and I always I always threw
that in the garbage, no pun intended, if only because
it's we're not living a static life. In other words,
like if I ate six hot dogs and that's not
going to take one hundred and eighty minutes off my life.
That's assuming that I don't also eat well in the future.
That also assumes that I don't exercise, that I don't
(03:31):
do something to counteract that.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Well, it's an inexact science. There's not an actuary sitting
there counting the hot dogs you eat, but they are
massively unhealthy food. The processed meats are, among other things,
known to be a major carcinogen yep, cold cancer, all
that kind of stuff, even like lunch meat you buy
in the store. So I mean, if you do your homework,
that ruins a lot of things that otherwise otherwise might
(03:54):
taste okay. But I don't like the texture of a
lot of that stuff in the first place. But you
notice they don't say that about alcohol.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Didn't say, you know, drink a fifth of jack and
it's going to take a year off your life.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Have you been online lately? Half of the material that
comes across my feeds I try to hide. I try
to to just not open those articles. I've learned to
move on. Yeah, but all of it it's like, you know,
if you have more than a drink a day, or
you shouldn't even have a drink a day, it's all
alcohol doom posts.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
And I hate that.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
So I know it's like, well, if I have to
give up something, then let me just give up a.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Hot talk day. Am I not a civilized man? Am
I not entitled to a nightcap in the name of
all that's holy. Con there is nothing that we eat
or drink. And this is not an excuse. I'm just saying.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
This is just an honest statement and realization. There's nothing
that we eat or drink, buy and large which is healthy.
Even down to a lot of the fruit with the
pesticides and the gene splicing and all that. The food
in the United States is questionable at best.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
You're exactly right about that, and there's a reason why
a lot of European countries won't import our food.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
You won't recognize the difference until you travel. And when
you travel, you eat let's say fruit in Italy, or
you eat just the meals in a restaurant Italy.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Bread.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Yeah, it's cooked differently, is prepared differently. You don't have
the additives of about a sugar which is added to bread,
for example. It's just completely different and you don't really
appreciate that until you leave the country. But back to
the chicken tenders, I get on with it, Okay, I
would say chicken nuggets are I would agree with you.
(05:35):
They're probably the bottom the basement of all chicken nuggets
and tenders.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
But they taste good, and if you don't think that,
they have teams of scientists diabolically making them taste in
such a way that you want to keep eating them
even after you're full, like they do with Dorito's.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
We know that.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
I know with especially fries and chicken tenders, a lot
of them are cooked in the fried in the grease
of the other food intentionally. Like the McDonald's fries, they
had cooked in the hamburger grease, so it you know,
they're not vegan, put it that way, so it tastes
like you're almost eating a hamburger when you're eating the fries.
That's part of it. You know, you have to know
(06:16):
when you go to fast food restaurant. I don't go
all that often. I try not to.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Well, McDonald's fries smell and taste fantastastic. But one thing
that you learn when you do even a little bit
of homework on this is the deep frying process in
French fries and potato chips un locks of carcinogen called
I think the word is a krylamide. It kind of
spoils it for you.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
No, you can't read labels or articles if you're going
to enjoy fast food.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
You just can't.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
From the caloric content, the sodium content, the saturated fats.
There's nothing good other than the taste with fast food unfortunately.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
And yes, I'll probably have some more Wendy's before the
week is out.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Now to bring home the whole chicken fingers thing, I
got a hot tip for you. The best chicken that
I have had are at a place called Urban Plates.
They're massive, yes, they're soft and moist, and there's a
place in there's an urban place in Torrents. They're all
over the place and they're just delicious. And I don't
(07:16):
know that they're the healthiest thing on earth, but they're
real chicken, and they're just magnificent. I have to stop
myself from getting them as much as I want.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
You know, the most overrated chicken tenders or strips in
the world, raising canes never been there overrated. I think
they're undercooked. It's almost like they're not completely cooked. It
it's hard to explain. It's like for all the hype,
don't get it. Pedro the traffic guy, agrees on Urban Plates.
(07:44):
I think we've got a quorum here.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Okay. That means we have to continue the conversation. We're
coming back with more fast food talk.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
It's Late with Mo Kelly k if I AM six
forty live everywhere now are ready app.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Can't I misterrom O'Kelly here.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and YouTube. And
for some reason We've descended into a fast food conversation.
And I'm not upset about that. I'm not mad about it. Okay,
we have to talk about these issues. They are important
and they are life changing. Okay, someone's life is going
to be improved because of this conversation.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
We started talking.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
About Wendy's new and improved chicken tenders, the Tende's, and
then we went from there. Mark Roner wanted to chime
in about chicken McNuggets and then I started talking about
raising cane and they're undercooked chicken strips, Texas toast.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
It's great, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
The chicken tenders, the chicken strips, what they're known for.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Not so much.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
No, Okay, Now, I know everyone has their their preferences.
I'm just saying that I'm the only one that's right
in this conversation. And there's a difference. Just because you
prefer something, it doesn't make you right. It just means
you don't have any taste. Okay, my preferences are the correct.
The baseliner, Yes you see.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
Look I on the way in, I stopped real fast
at Del Taco.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Oh mistakes.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
Typically I like Delta because I like their uh, their
del burrito just like the you know, the the beans
and meat and just what just a regular breedo. I
like them and uh and they have this new thing
called the Del Dorado chicken grilled breeders.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
They like to play on El Dorado.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Yes, but it's Del Dorado because it's Del Taco Del Dorado.
And I asked the drive through and I said, what
is this. This looks delicious. The picture is great, and
she said that's the Del Dorado. It's delicious. It's you know,
grilled red peppers, and this sauce, Peblano sauce whatever, blah
blah blah blah blah, had all this stuff. And I said,
(09:58):
let me get one of those. I'm driving. Open it
up because you don't want to take a couple of
bites sample is see what's happening, and I take like
three bites and I'm very sensitive to spicy food, very
sensitive spicy.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
And you went to de.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
Because most of the time I get this bland. I
know better than to get spicy food. But this, it
just looks so good. I took like three four bites
of this thing, and I just had to finish that
up with about six or seven packets of that uh
pepto bismo that's in the cabinet out there, because my
stomach's on fire. I gave it to dragon Mouth Mark
(10:35):
Ronner and he eats it like it's nothing.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
There are certain foods you cannot eat after a certain age,
especially when it comes to fast food.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
I'm being very serious.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
He's only slightly older than me, and he woofed his
like what is this? But my question is, Tawala, are
you wearing the same pants you left the house in?
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Right now? Thankful, right now. But here's the thing.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
I only came in here quickly because I may need
to run around the corner because I don't want to
destroy the you know, general purpose restroom outside this This
may this may be a both ender.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
This is oh god, this is horrible. Right now, I
have the I have the stomach of a newborn baby
when it comes to spicy. Before you got to be
there twenty finds out what you've been doing to it.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
There's certain foods I just cannot eat anymore, And even
though they sound like a great idea, like, for example,
I used to love actually I still do it, just
don't eat anymore Taco Bell, Mexican pizza.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Oh those are great. They are, Yeah, they're great. You're
talking about that Del Dorado.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
No, it cannot compare to the Mexican pizza.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
Yes, brouh.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Why don't you come to your sands.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
You've been out riding fans for so long now saying.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Oh you a hard one, hard one. I know you
got your rees. These things that are please and you.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Can hurt you.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
So there's a lot of wisdom in that. Okay, it
might be Del Taco.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
See twilet, You're gonna learn you cannot eat that stuff.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
I'm gonna learn the hard way.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
I look, I already learned that I cannot eat Popeyes
because I don't know what they put on pop Eyes.
That it tastes good going down, but man, what happens afterwards?
Speaker 3 (12:39):
That's the toilet Bowl record.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
I had Popeyes two weeks ago because I hadn't had
it in years, and I said, oh I have. I
had a taste for some red beans and rice yep,
and I had to taste for their biscuits, and I
also got some of their chicken strips.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
It was a good idea in theory.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
In reality, it was horrible And and I ate it
around four four thirty enough time that it messed up
my pre show prep because yeah, and I used to
laugh at my dad because he would say, like, oh,
I ate something. And then like two hours later I
had to I said, Hey, how can something go through
(13:19):
you that fast? It's not even possible. And then all
of a sudden, I turned forty, and then I realized, oh,
it's very possible.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
It can clear you out inside.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Of the length of an Avatar movie.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Are you sure the two of you guys don't have
some sort of like stomach bug that you picked up traveling.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
No, it's just called being plus fifty Mark, Mark.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
I mean, look, I understand that you have a cauldron
where your stomach should be, and you're in there churning,
firing heardstone and you're able to eat all this, But
I cannot, Mark. I'm sorry, my stomach is a tenderfoot stomach.
I guess so okay, I'm sorry. I just can't do it, man,
and I really want to.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
My stomach is is much more disagreeable now as I
get older. They are just certain things I have to
have a conversation with my body in advance.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
I kind of like preparing them for bad news.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
It's like, hey, stomach, I'm just letting you know you're
gonna have a visitor tonight.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
And I know you all don't get along.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
But if you could just be nice to each other
on this one occasion, I promise I won't bring him
around for like two three months.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
No, you know what, now that you bring this up,
I've read about how black people enjoy bland food.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Tony, you want to help me out here.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Says the guy who likes black olives on his pizza.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
I stand by it. Raisins in your potato Saladude.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
No, I despise raisins. I think raisins are of the
devil and there's no reason for them to exist. And
when I see somebody he's raisins were a sin.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Let me finish. You finish. You just insulted all black
people with bland food. I gotta let you finish. Oh no, no,
it was just a cold statement of fact. If I
see somebody eat, what the hell? All right?
Speaker 4 (15:13):
I can't, I can't finish. They ruined it. Are you
happy now?
Speaker 2 (15:17):
I ruin your Collioqui soliloquy on the blandness of food
that black people.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Prefer isn't Did I get that wrong somehow?
Speaker 7 (15:26):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (15:27):
You absolutely got it wrong.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Well, I'm absolutely because black folks will tell you they
hate like hotel food because it's always bland. If you
go to a hotel, most of the food is bland
because they don't want to necessarily have an issue with
any type of person. You know, there's two spikes or whatever,
so they make it intentionally bland.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Uh huh.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
And yet the two good friends that I work with
right here, we're not your friend. Look the two occupants,
the two occupants of the studio with me. If you
so much as look at something spicy, you're filling your diaper. Look,
the devil's peppersack is not something that I need to
be munching on, sir.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
I like the food, I just can't tolerate it anymore.
There's a difference, like, for example, I like Jack Daniels,
I can't tolerate it like I used to.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Like you.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
Remember when Ed Gargos brought in those Windies ghost pepper. Yes,
I thought those things were delicious until my body said,
are you out of your blanken about.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Those spicy chicken samwich is with the tachis on everything?
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Are you out of your blank and blank mind? Yes?
Speaker 5 (16:34):
It may taste good, but you're gonna regret it. Oh, oh,
you think I'm playing? You think I'm playing, And then
I'm up all night crying cuz you know I can't
get off the damn bole. Well, I'm sure you could
find some like wonder bread or potato salad or something
that that'll suit you, that that's, you know, good and bland.
Did you just try to throw some mayonnaise laden potato
(16:54):
sa you? Oh you must love mayonnaise. I'm sure you
can't get enough mayonnaise. No, No, do you prefer? Do
you prefer Miracle whip or Helman's?
Speaker 4 (17:04):
I don't know. I don't really buy that stuff. Whatever
is in the refrigerator that has been put there. I'll
just like if I'm making tuner or something. I don't
really eat a lot of Mayonnai's. I think mayonnaise is
borderline disgusting. Okay, all right, I'll accept that.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
I just know that as I get older, there there's
alcohol hangovers, and now there are food hangovers where if
you indulge too much with certain foods, it can mess
up your next day. That's why I always keep an
extra pair of underwear in my car. Yeah, no joke.
When I say never trust a fart after forty, I'm
being serious. I'm opening up my heart to you, among
(17:41):
other things. No, no, and I'm grateful that you've shared
all this about you and your You're horrific.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Colon.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
Well, I've already God, you haven't had a wet one, right,
stop lying, stop it.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
I don't know what you're talking about. Okay. Do you
think this is cany ignorance? Okay, no, no, no, no, no,
you're tread.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
You think this is common because both of you clearly
suffer from incontinence.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
No, no, no, no, it's not incontinence.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
It's just that you you're you can be too trusting
with your body when you shouldn't, and you don't think
you know the difference.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Some as you don't, you think it's gonna be nice.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
You think, why you think it's gonna be alright, Then
you got a problem. You've gotta switch your way back
to them. You could just sit around and chug laxatives
all day. What's wrong with you? It has nothing to
do with it. It doesn't. There's certain things that you
cannot take into your body after a certain Ay.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Now, this isn't normal. You're trying to normal. Well, no,
we've got to go to break. But I'm being very serious.
Do you know what the bubblies are? I'm not sure? Wow,
what are okay? What's the tony? Do you know what
the bubblies are?
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Bubble guts?
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Mart?
Speaker 4 (18:48):
Is that when your stomach is grumbling after you've eaten
something upsetting.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
It's it's it's slightly worse than that, because you know
it's right at the door. It's right, you're not practice
knock you, but you're like, look, it's gonna bust down
the door. It's touching cloth.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
It's one of those things where you know that you
have approximately three minutes to get to a bathroom.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
I want the two of you to get the professional help.
You need the medical help.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Tommy Godlove and from the Momigos said this segment just
went down the toilet.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Lol. He's not wrong. He's not wrong, he's not wrong.
We gotta go to break. Just want to let you know. Yeah, Tommy,
godlove earned that.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
And we encourage you to tune in to the momigos
on the YouTube stream because we're gonna give them a
heads up when we're getting ready to give away the
Disney tickets tonight. What we're gonna talk about between now
and then, I don't know. Okay, we're all around the
barn tonight. We just threw out our whole show run
down because of Mark and McDonald's chicken McNuggets. And that's
(19:53):
how we got here. Kf I Am six forty. We're
live everywhere on YouTube, iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Butterfly in Bey, I can go twice.
Speaker 7 (20:18):
Take up a look.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
It's get book reading, Rainbow anything. Take a look.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
We all remember that, right, Rainbow KFI Later with Mo
Kelly Live everywhere on YouTube and the iHeartRadio app. I'm
way behind, way over all. Our talk about fast food
threw us off the clock. We have to catch up
in just a moment. But I did want to say,
Reading Rainbow is back, has a new host, Hi, and
(20:53):
welcome to Reading Rainbow.
Speaker 6 (20:56):
Well, Reading Rainbow was back almost twenty years afterwards. Final
episode air the classic PBS series will be on kid Zuko,
which is a kid's focus YouTube channel. New episodes start
Saturday and we'll run through October twenty fifth. The original
show was on from nineteen eighty three to two thousand
and six with LaVar Burton as the host. The new
host is a librarian and digital creator named Michael Threetz.
(21:20):
He's known for his viral content recommending books, library services,
and what he calls library joy.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Hey, Twaller, you know that if you were to ask
most people what they thought about Reading Rainbow this day.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Oh, I love the show on I love LeVar Burdnight.
I grew up with.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
The show nothing but positive things, probably to a person
absolutely And then.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
When you remind them it was a PBS.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Show, then he said, oh, well, well, yeah, PBS, you know,
the literal leftist. Yeah, folks forget how important PBS has
been in our all of our lives, the educational programming
(22:07):
which is inextricably linked to PBS, and most people just
forget it's a PBS show, always was, always will be.
And yes, the the funding of PBS, NPR Public broadcasting
more broadly, that's what it's called, will impact shows like
Reading Rainbow. And most people who have an issue with
(22:30):
PBS or NPR don't watch or listen to either, or
if they do, they don't even know that they're watching it.
There's so many shows just like Reading Rainbow which come
out of PBS, so much great content for both kids
and adults, and I'm glad that Reading Rainbow was still well.
(22:52):
Let me put it this way, if you don't know
how PBS works, the shows have to find their own budget.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
It's not PBS paying for the show. The show has
to find its own money.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
They'll have a sponsor or someone who donate money specifically
for the show, and then the show comes to PBS
and say, hey, we have a show.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
It's financed and funded.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
And then PBS will say, okay, we'll help you distribute
it across the PBS stations.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
But people don't even know how it works. That's why
you're here at the end of the show. This show
is brought to you by our sponsors. And they would
play three or four different ads or whatever they have
to do with theirs, such a such foundation and such
a much and it's made possible courtesy of the PBS
and this network and.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Yes, so you know, you know, you think defunding PBS
is the answer, when it's not. It's like, that's not
even how it works.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Now.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
There is a degree of funding which comes from PBS
for their member stations to help the stations like PBS
excuse me, like k c E T or Channel twenty
eight or KOCEE Channel fifty out here stay in business
and provide programming. But they're not creating the program they're
(24:07):
just a distributor.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
Yes, that money would go to having engineers, having programming teams,
running stations, running the station on the day to day basis,
keeping these shows out. That the shows aren't just sent
to a network of and they just magically pop up
on the air.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Right, It's not like ABC, where ABC is producing Jimmy
Kimmel Live, ABC is producing the View.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
No, it's the exact opposite.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
It works in the other direction, where the shows have
to create themselves then go to PBS, and then PBS
helps distribute them on various stations.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
I remember the first time I saw Eyes on the Prize,
it was on PBS, and that like beyond impact in
my life and my mind and learning about the civil
rights movement. And it became just all the time, like
they would show a year after year after year before
schools start picking up and say every year, okay, we're
gonna go out and play Eyes on the Prize, but
that's where we would sit down and watch it.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
It wants my heart to see that Reading Rainbow is
back because despite the politics surrounding PBS, NPR public broadcasting,
these very important shows or at least some of them
are finding a way to survive in the way that
they always have not dependent upon PBS, but it's essential
(25:25):
in the way that there are well, there are fewer
places for it now. Some of these shows may end
up on like a Netflix or some sort of streaming platform,
but for the most part, they're still dependent upon the
traditional broadcast option, and PBS is considered broadcast because it
does fall under the federal government in the FCC jurisdiction,
still need that aspect and component to distribute. So if
(25:49):
you are of the opinion that you're happy that they've
defunded in pr and PBS.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
You are.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Really seriously hampering quality educational entertainment. And most people who
are against PBS have no idea what it even provides
or the quality of educational programming it provides. But if
you ask them about Reading Rainbow, they'll say, oh, yeah,
I love reading Rainbow.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Hello, you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 7 (26:26):
Because damns its Later with mo Kelly KFI AM six
forty live everywhere on YouTube and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
And you better be on the YouTube live stream because
I'm getting ready to give some information about these Disney tickets.
This family four pack are getting ready to give away,
as I said, getting ready to give away. Toys r
Us it's back of the news and it made the
announcement that it plans to open ten new flagship stores
and twenty seasonal holiday shops with his partner Go Retail
(27:00):
by the end of this year. Now, if you've been
following this Toys r Rust story, they went through bankruptcy,
they tried to reopen, they had some partnership they were
doing with Macy's as far as like in store in
Macy's store, then they would have like a Toys r
Ust mini store in it. Now, Twale, you're the only
one who has the history of working with Toys r rusts.
(27:23):
What do you make of this? Is this going anywhere?
Are they back? Are they hoping to be back? Is
it a positive move? This is a very positive move.
They are back.
Speaker 5 (27:30):
They are having different phases of toy stores being realized.
Now they still have the Macy's in store Toys Russ displays.
They are now having some holiday pop ups, which is
a smart idea in different areas because they're not going
to try to go nationwide again and just lose their shirts.
They're gonna have situational holiday pop ups inarios where they
(27:52):
feel they can draw a big crowd, and these locations
will pop up during holliy people be able to go
and shop experiencing in those shut those down. But then
they're also going to have in Key states, key cities,
have some brick and mortar locations, like the one that
they are going to be opening in Long Beach. It
is going to be a Toys r Us superstore, and
(28:12):
they're also going to have a Toys or superstore in
Camarillo and some other locations just in various states. But
I'm excited about the one in Long Beach because I
looked at some of the plans on like it's going
to be huge. And I'm telling you, of every job
I've ever had, save working with you, Toys r US
was quite possibly one of the greatest experiences I ever
(28:33):
had work. Really I loved working at Toys r US,
I really really did.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Why is that?
Speaker 2 (28:38):
I mean, was it the nostalgia or just a corporate structure?
Speaker 3 (28:42):
What about it? I think it was a combination of that.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
Like when they say, don't you don't meet your heroes,
this is one of those opportunities where I would disagree,
because growing up I was a toy fanatic, a toy collector.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
I was in toy stores all the time.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
And getting to work at Toys r US and experiencing
the behind the scenes it was great. And the way
that at least at the Toys r US that I
worked at, the one right here in Bourbank, the biggest
Toys r US, the biggest selling Toys r US in
southern California, that's the one I worked at that closed.
They did the back to the Future seeing over there
that location. The management team there, they were aces all
(29:16):
the way through. They really really fought and took care
of their staff all the way up until the point
where we found out we had to close the doors.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Let me ask you about that, since we talked about
closing the door. Scott of the Momentigos in the Motown
Chat says, plastic toys are not being played with any more.
I tend to agree with him the idea of toys,
which is more than just action figures. Toys are not
the draw in the way that they were twenty thirty
(29:44):
years ago.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
I disagree because if you go through a Target, if
you go through a Walmart, those sections are still filled
with kids. There are still kids that are filling those sections,
and they do want toys. It's something about going into
a place and touching things and being able to figure
stuff out. Remember toys r US also wasn't just toys,
(30:05):
plastic toys and the like. There were also building blocks,
educational toys. There were also a humongous, humongous electronic section,
and one of the biggest draws was the bicycle section.
Believe it or not, because I take a bike off
the rack, ride it around and even our electronic car section.
Kids would stay over their parents pulling down these cars,
(30:27):
trying to drive them around the store every single day. Sir, sir, sir,
please don't do that, sir. You have to get out
of the Bronco Mini truck. You got to get out that.
It was just something about that, there was something about
the toy store being filled with kids just touching stuff,
filling stuff. And I know with this new rebranding of
Toys r Us, they are trying to make it an
experience where they can have more in store play, in
(30:50):
store displays, have different companies come through in demo toys
for appearents and things like that, so it turns it
into a destination spot for parents.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
I hope you are right.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
I hope that Toys r Us can make a successful
comeback because they've tried in different iterations and ways over
the past ten years.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
So we've been discussing them.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Each time there's movement with Toys r Us, we talk
about it. This is the latest movement and they're committed. Obviously,
they're going to open this many standalone stores stand alone
and that.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Could be.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
A brick and mortar location onto itself, which I'm most
accustomed to seeing Toys r Us. I guess maybe it
could be part of a strip mall or in a like,
not in a mall situation, but you know, it's part
of a larger shopping center.
Speaker 5 (31:38):
And I believe that these new ones will be more
similar to a toy store that you fancied, more like
the f al Schwartz.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Yes, and I was a big fan of that experience,
is what I believe.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
Toys Rus is looking to come back with a brand
that's more kin to that.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
We shall find out, and also we will watch this
as we go into the holidays and see how this
story continues to emerge. I AM six forty eleve everywhere
and the iHeartRadio
Speaker 1 (32:01):
App ks I and KOs t h D two Los Angeles,
Orange County more stimulating talk
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
CAFI Later with Mo Kelly Live on YouTube and the
Heart Radio app. And speaking of YouTube, which is our
visual simulcast, it would be in your best interests if
you would like to have a heads up on when
we're giving away the Disney four pack tonight that you
(00:30):
are watching the show on YouTube, because the mo migos,
they're going to get a heads up. I'm going to
tell them before I tell you listening right now, I'm
just saying if you would like to have a heads.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Up, and I'm not going to tell you when the
heads up is coming.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
I'm just saying those who are watching the YouTube show
will get the information first. They will be ahead of
everyone else in a sense of knowing when to be
by the phone at mister bo Kelly on YouTube. And yes,
we'll eventually get to Kim john Oun and North Koreans
checking women for their breast implants. We'll get to that story,
(01:10):
but there's something much more important that I need to
finish up with Mark Runner from the last hour, and Mark,
I know you have.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
News to do. No, No, I'm fine.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Well, I was hoping you did have news to do,
so I could run a steamrolling that's right, unimpeded. Last eight,
we were talking about Wendy's upgraded chicken tenders and I
was running down the things that I liked did not
like about chicken tenders, and we went all the way
around the barn and Mark made a comment something to
(01:40):
effect up, especially with McDonald's chicken McNuggets, you would prefer
chicken tenders which are at least or chicken products which
are more reminiscent of the animal that it came from, right.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Yeah, not something that came out of the Star Trek
food transformer, do hickey whatever.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
And I would say, how is it that that's any
different from looking at a hamburger and seeing a cow.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Well, it's all about the texture, isn't it. Because there
is no fibrous texture in a chicken McNugget like with
an actual piece from an actual chicken. And the same
with ground beef. You can tell the difference between ground
beef and things that are other. Have you eat a
hot dog in your life? Probably not as many as you.
(02:26):
I don't usually eat that kind of stuff, but I have.
Your body's a temple, Well not when it comes to booze.
But occasionally I've gotten weak at Costco because they're a
dollar and a half there. Yeah, and if you have
to have a hot dog, the ones at Costco aren't
that bad.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
No, I'm with you on that.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I know hot dogs are not healthy for you, and
I try to stay away from them, but after a
while they just call my name and it makes it
very difficult.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Yeah, but I'm not gonna sit here and tell you
a hot dog is health food. That's some of the
unhealthiest stuff you can eat. In fact, we had studies
that were in the news here within the last six
months or so saying something along the lines of every
hot dog you.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Eat takes thirty minutes off of your life.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
And I heard that and I always I always threw
that in the garbage, no pun intended, if only because
it's we're not living a static life. In other words,
like if I ate six hot dogs and that's not
going to take one hundred and eighty minutes off my life.
That's assuming that I don't also eat well in the future.
That also assumes that I don't exercise, that I don't
(03:31):
do something to counteract that.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Well, it's an inexact science. There's not an actuary sitting
there counting the hot dogs you eat, but they are
massively unhealthy food. The processed meats are, among other things,
known to be a major carcinogen yep, cold cancer, all
that kind of stuff, even like lunch meat you buy
in the store. So I mean, if you do your homework,
that ruins a lot of things that otherwise otherwise might
(03:54):
taste okay. But I don't like the texture of a
lot of that stuff in the first place. But you
notice they don't say that about alcohol.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Didn't say, you know, drink a fifth of jack and
it's going to take a year off your life.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Have you been online lately? Half of the material that
comes across my feeds I try to hide. I try
to to just not open those articles. I've learned to
move on. Yeah, but all of it it's like, you know,
if you have more than a drink a day, or
you shouldn't even have a drink a day, it's all
alcohol doom posts.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
And I hate that.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
So I know it's like, well, if I have to
give up something, then let me just give up a.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Hot talk day. Am I not a civilized man? Am
I not entitled to a nightcap in the name of
all that's holy. Con there is nothing that we eat
or drink. And this is not an excuse. I'm just saying.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
This is just an honest statement and realization. There's nothing
that we eat or drink, buy and large which is healthy.
Even down to a lot of the fruit with the
pesticides and the gene splicing and all that. The food
in the United States is questionable at best.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
You're exactly right about that, and there's a reason why
a lot of European countries won't import our food.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
You won't recognize the difference until you travel. And when
you travel, you eat let's say fruit in Italy, or
you eat just the meals in a restaurant Italy.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Bread.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Yeah, it's cooked differently, is prepared differently. You don't have
the additives of about a sugar which is added to bread,
for example. It's just completely different and you don't really
appreciate that until you leave the country. But back to
the chicken tenders, I get on with it, Okay, I
would say chicken nuggets are I would agree with you.
(05:35):
They're probably the bottom the basement of all chicken nuggets
and tenders.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
But they taste good, and if you don't think that,
they have teams of scientists diabolically making them taste in
such a way that you want to keep eating them
even after you're full, like they do with Dorito's.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
We know that.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
I know with especially fries and chicken tenders, a lot
of them are cooked in the fried in the grease
of the other food intentionally. Like the McDonald's fries, they
had cooked in the hamburger grease, so it you know,
they're not vegan, put it that way, so it tastes
like you're almost eating a hamburger when you're eating the fries.
That's part of it. You know, you have to know
(06:16):
when you go to fast food restaurant. I don't go
all that often. I try not to.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Well, McDonald's fries smell and taste fantastastic. But one thing
that you learn when you do even a little bit
of homework on this is the deep frying process in
French fries and potato chips un locks of carcinogen called
I think the word is a krylamide. It kind of
spoils it for you.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
No, you can't read labels or articles if you're going
to enjoy fast food.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
You just can't.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
From the caloric content, the sodium content, the saturated fats.
There's nothing good other than the taste with fast food unfortunately.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
And yes, I'll probably have some more Wendy's before the
week is out.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Now to bring home the whole chicken fingers thing, I
got a hot tip for you. The best chicken that
I have had are at a place called Urban Plates.
They're massive, yes, they're soft and moist, and there's a
place in there's an urban place in Torrents. They're all
over the place and they're just delicious. And I don't
(07:16):
know that they're the healthiest thing on earth, but they're
real chicken, and they're just magnificent. I have to stop
myself from getting them as much as I want.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
You know, the most overrated chicken tenders or strips in
the world, raising canes never been there overrated. I think
they're undercooked. It's almost like they're not completely cooked. It
it's hard to explain. It's like for all the hype,
don't get it. Pedro the traffic guy, agrees on Urban Plates.
(07:44):
I think we've got a quorum here.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Okay. That means we have to continue the conversation. We're
coming back with more fast food talk.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
It's Late with Mo Kelly k if I AM six
forty live everywhere now are ready app.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Can't I misterrom O'Kelly here.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and YouTube. And
for some reason We've descended into a fast food conversation.
And I'm not upset about that. I'm not mad about it. Okay,
we have to talk about these issues. They are important
and they are life changing. Okay, someone's life is going
to be improved because of this conversation.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
We started talking.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
About Wendy's new and improved chicken tenders, the Tende's, and
then we went from there. Mark Roner wanted to chime
in about chicken McNuggets and then I started talking about
raising cane and they're undercooked chicken strips, Texas toast.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
It's great, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
The chicken tenders, the chicken strips, what they're known for.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Not so much.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
No, Okay, Now, I know everyone has their their preferences.
I'm just saying that I'm the only one that's right
in this conversation. And there's a difference. Just because you
prefer something, it doesn't make you right. It just means
you don't have any taste. Okay, my preferences are the correct.
The baseliner, Yes you see.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
Look I on the way in, I stopped real fast
at Del Taco.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Oh mistakes.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
Typically I like Delta because I like their uh, their
del burrito just like the you know, the the beans
and meat and just what just a regular breedo. I
like them and uh and they have this new thing
called the Del Dorado chicken grilled breeders.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
They like to play on El Dorado.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Yes, but it's Del Dorado because it's Del Taco Del Dorado.
And I asked the drive through and I said, what
is this. This looks delicious. The picture is great, and
she said that's the Del Dorado. It's delicious. It's you know,
grilled red peppers, and this sauce, Peblano sauce whatever, blah
blah blah blah blah, had all this stuff. And I said,
(09:58):
let me get one of those. I'm driving. Open it
up because you don't want to take a couple of
bites sample is see what's happening, and I take like
three bites and I'm very sensitive to spicy food, very
sensitive spicy.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
And you went to de.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
Because most of the time I get this bland. I
know better than to get spicy food. But this, it
just looks so good. I took like three four bites
of this thing, and I just had to finish that
up with about six or seven packets of that uh
pepto bismo that's in the cabinet out there, because my
stomach's on fire. I gave it to dragon Mouth Mark
(10:35):
Ronner and he eats it like it's nothing.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
There are certain foods you cannot eat after a certain age,
especially when it comes to fast food.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
I'm being very serious.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
He's only slightly older than me, and he woofed his
like what is this? But my question is, Tawala, are
you wearing the same pants you left the house in?
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Right now? Thankful, right now. But here's the thing.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
I only came in here quickly because I may need
to run around the corner because I don't want to
destroy the you know, general purpose restroom outside this This
may this may be a both ender.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
This is oh god, this is horrible. Right now, I
have the I have the stomach of a newborn baby
when it comes to spicy. Before you got to be
there twenty finds out what you've been doing to it.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
There's certain foods I just cannot eat anymore, And even
though they sound like a great idea, like, for example,
I used to love actually I still do it, just
don't eat anymore Taco Bell, Mexican pizza.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Oh those are great. They are, Yeah, they're great. You're
talking about that Del Dorado.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
No, it cannot compare to the Mexican pizza.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
Yes, brouh.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Why don't you come to your sands.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
You've been out riding fans for so long now saying.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Oh you a hard one, hard one. I know you
got your rees. These things that are please and you.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Can hurt you.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
So there's a lot of wisdom in that. Okay, it
might be Del Taco.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
See twilet, You're gonna learn you cannot eat that stuff.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
I'm gonna learn the hard way.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
I look, I already learned that I cannot eat Popeyes
because I don't know what they put on pop Eyes.
That it tastes good going down, but man, what happens afterwards?
Speaker 3 (12:39):
That's the toilet Bowl record.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
I had Popeyes two weeks ago because I hadn't had
it in years, and I said, oh I have. I
had a taste for some red beans and rice yep,
and I had to taste for their biscuits, and I
also got some of their chicken strips.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
It was a good idea in theory.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
In reality, it was horrible And and I ate it
around four four thirty enough time that it messed up
my pre show prep because yeah, and I used to
laugh at my dad because he would say, like, oh,
I ate something. And then like two hours later I
had to I said, Hey, how can something go through
(13:19):
you that fast? It's not even possible. And then all
of a sudden, I turned forty, and then I realized, oh,
it's very possible.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
It can clear you out inside.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Of the length of an Avatar movie.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Are you sure the two of you guys don't have
some sort of like stomach bug that you picked up traveling.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
No, it's just called being plus fifty Mark, Mark.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
I mean, look, I understand that you have a cauldron
where your stomach should be, and you're in there churning,
firing heardstone and you're able to eat all this, But
I cannot, Mark. I'm sorry, my stomach is a tenderfoot stomach.
I guess so okay, I'm sorry. I just can't do it, man,
and I really want to.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
My stomach is is much more disagreeable now as I
get older. They are just certain things I have to
have a conversation with my body in advance.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
I kind of like preparing them for bad news.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
It's like, hey, stomach, I'm just letting you know you're
gonna have a visitor tonight.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
And I know you all don't get along.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
But if you could just be nice to each other
on this one occasion, I promise I won't bring him
around for like two three months.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
No, you know what, now that you bring this up,
I've read about how black people enjoy bland food.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Tony, you want to help me out here.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Says the guy who likes black olives on his pizza.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
I stand by it. Raisins in your potato Saladude.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
No, I despise raisins. I think raisins are of the
devil and there's no reason for them to exist. And
when I see somebody he's raisins were a sin.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Let me finish. You finish. You just insulted all black
people with bland food. I gotta let you finish. Oh no, no,
it was just a cold statement of fact. If I
see somebody eat, what the hell? All right?
Speaker 4 (15:13):
I can't, I can't finish. They ruined it. Are you
happy now?
Speaker 2 (15:17):
I ruin your Collioqui soliloquy on the blandness of food
that black people.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Prefer isn't Did I get that wrong somehow?
Speaker 7 (15:26):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (15:27):
You absolutely got it wrong.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Well, I'm absolutely because black folks will tell you they
hate like hotel food because it's always bland. If you
go to a hotel, most of the food is bland
because they don't want to necessarily have an issue with
any type of person. You know, there's two spikes or whatever,
so they make it intentionally bland.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Uh huh.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
And yet the two good friends that I work with
right here, we're not your friend. Look the two occupants,
the two occupants of the studio with me. If you
so much as look at something spicy, you're filling your diaper. Look,
the devil's peppersack is not something that I need to
be munching on, sir.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
I like the food, I just can't tolerate it anymore.
There's a difference, like, for example, I like Jack Daniels,
I can't tolerate it like I used to.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Like you.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
Remember when Ed Gargos brought in those Windies ghost pepper. Yes,
I thought those things were delicious until my body said,
are you out of your blanken about.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Those spicy chicken samwich is with the tachis on everything?
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Are you out of your blank and blank mind? Yes?
Speaker 5 (16:34):
It may taste good, but you're gonna regret it. Oh, oh,
you think I'm playing? You think I'm playing, And then
I'm up all night crying cuz you know I can't
get off the damn bole. Well, I'm sure you could
find some like wonder bread or potato salad or something
that that'll suit you, that that's, you know, good and bland.
Did you just try to throw some mayonnaise laden potato
(16:54):
sa you? Oh you must love mayonnaise. I'm sure you
can't get enough mayonnaise. No, No, do you prefer? Do
you prefer Miracle whip or Helman's?
Speaker 4 (17:04):
I don't know. I don't really buy that stuff. Whatever
is in the refrigerator that has been put there. I'll
just like if I'm making tuner or something. I don't
really eat a lot of Mayonnai's. I think mayonnaise is
borderline disgusting. Okay, all right, I'll accept that.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
I just know that as I get older, there there's
alcohol hangovers, and now there are food hangovers where if
you indulge too much with certain foods, it can mess
up your next day. That's why I always keep an
extra pair of underwear in my car. Yeah, no joke.
When I say never trust a fart after forty, I'm
being serious. I'm opening up my heart to you, among
(17:41):
other things. No, no, and I'm grateful that you've shared
all this about you and your You're horrific.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Colon.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
Well, I've already God, you haven't had a wet one, right,
stop lying, stop it.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
I don't know what you're talking about. Okay. Do you
think this is cany ignorance? Okay, no, no, no, no, no,
you're tread.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
You think this is common because both of you clearly
suffer from incontinence.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
No, no, no, no, it's not incontinence.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
It's just that you you're you can be too trusting
with your body when you shouldn't, and you don't think
you know the difference.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Some as you don't, you think it's gonna be nice.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
You think, why you think it's gonna be alright, Then
you got a problem. You've gotta switch your way back
to them. You could just sit around and chug laxatives
all day. What's wrong with you? It has nothing to
do with it. It doesn't. There's certain things that you
cannot take into your body after a certain Ay.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Now, this isn't normal. You're trying to normal. Well, no,
we've got to go to break. But I'm being very serious.
Do you know what the bubblies are? I'm not sure? Wow,
what are okay? What's the tony? Do you know what
the bubblies are?
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Bubble guts?
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Mart?
Speaker 4 (18:48):
Is that when your stomach is grumbling after you've eaten
something upsetting.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
It's it's it's slightly worse than that, because you know
it's right at the door. It's right, you're not practice
knock you, but you're like, look, it's gonna bust down
the door. It's touching cloth.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
It's one of those things where you know that you
have approximately three minutes to get to a bathroom.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
I want the two of you to get the professional help.
You need the medical help.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Tommy Godlove and from the Momigos said this segment just
went down the toilet.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Lol. He's not wrong. He's not wrong, he's not wrong.
We gotta go to break. Just want to let you know. Yeah, Tommy,
godlove earned that.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
And we encourage you to tune in to the momigos
on the YouTube stream because we're gonna give them a
heads up when we're getting ready to give away the
Disney tickets tonight. What we're gonna talk about between now
and then, I don't know. Okay, we're all around the
barn tonight. We just threw out our whole show run
down because of Mark and McDonald's chicken McNuggets. And that's
(19:53):
how we got here. Kf I Am six forty. We're
live everywhere on YouTube, iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Butterfly in Bey, I can go twice.
Speaker 7 (20:18):
Take up a look.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
It's get book reading, Rainbow anything. Take a look.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
We all remember that, right, Rainbow KFI Later with Mo
Kelly Live everywhere on YouTube and the iHeartRadio app. I'm
way behind, way over all. Our talk about fast food
threw us off the clock. We have to catch up
in just a moment. But I did want to say,
Reading Rainbow is back, has a new host, Hi, and
(20:53):
welcome to Reading Rainbow.
Speaker 6 (20:56):
Well, Reading Rainbow was back almost twenty years afterwards. Final
episode air the classic PBS series will be on kid Zuko,
which is a kid's focus YouTube channel. New episodes start
Saturday and we'll run through October twenty fifth. The original
show was on from nineteen eighty three to two thousand
and six with LaVar Burton as the host. The new
host is a librarian and digital creator named Michael Threetz.
(21:20):
He's known for his viral content recommending books, library services,
and what he calls library joy.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Hey, Twaller, you know that if you were to ask
most people what they thought about Reading Rainbow this day.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Oh, I love the show on I love LeVar Burdnight.
I grew up with.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
The show nothing but positive things, probably to a person
absolutely And then.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
When you remind them it was a PBS.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Show, then he said, oh, well, well, yeah, PBS, you know,
the literal leftist. Yeah, folks forget how important PBS has
been in our all of our lives, the educational programming
(22:07):
which is inextricably linked to PBS, and most people just
forget it's a PBS show, always was, always will be.
And yes, the the funding of PBS, NPR Public broadcasting
more broadly, that's what it's called, will impact shows like
Reading Rainbow. And most people who have an issue with
(22:30):
PBS or NPR don't watch or listen to either, or
if they do, they don't even know that they're watching it.
There's so many shows just like Reading Rainbow which come
out of PBS, so much great content for both kids
and adults, and I'm glad that Reading Rainbow was still well.
(22:52):
Let me put it this way, if you don't know
how PBS works, the shows have to find their own budget.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
It's not PBS paying for the show. The show has
to find its own money.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
They'll have a sponsor or someone who donate money specifically
for the show, and then the show comes to PBS
and say, hey, we have a show.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
It's financed and funded.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
And then PBS will say, okay, we'll help you distribute
it across the PBS stations.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
But people don't even know how it works. That's why
you're here at the end of the show. This show
is brought to you by our sponsors. And they would
play three or four different ads or whatever they have
to do with theirs, such a such foundation and such
a much and it's made possible courtesy of the PBS
and this network and.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Yes, so you know, you know, you think defunding PBS
is the answer, when it's not. It's like, that's not
even how it works.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Now.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
There is a degree of funding which comes from PBS
for their member stations to help the stations like PBS
excuse me, like k c E T or Channel twenty
eight or KOCEE Channel fifty out here stay in business
and provide programming. But they're not creating the program they're
(24:07):
just a distributor.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
Yes, that money would go to having engineers, having programming teams,
running stations, running the station on the day to day basis,
keeping these shows out. That the shows aren't just sent
to a network of and they just magically pop up
on the air.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Right, It's not like ABC, where ABC is producing Jimmy
Kimmel Live, ABC is producing the View.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
No, it's the exact opposite.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
It works in the other direction, where the shows have
to create themselves then go to PBS, and then PBS
helps distribute them on various stations.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
I remember the first time I saw Eyes on the Prize,
it was on PBS, and that like beyond impact in
my life and my mind and learning about the civil
rights movement. And it became just all the time, like
they would show a year after year after year before
schools start picking up and say every year, okay, we're
gonna go out and play Eyes on the Prize, but
that's where we would sit down and watch it.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
It wants my heart to see that Reading Rainbow is
back because despite the politics surrounding PBS, NPR public broadcasting,
these very important shows or at least some of them
are finding a way to survive in the way that
they always have not dependent upon PBS, but it's essential
(25:25):
in the way that there are well, there are fewer
places for it now. Some of these shows may end
up on like a Netflix or some sort of streaming platform,
but for the most part, they're still dependent upon the
traditional broadcast option, and PBS is considered broadcast because it
does fall under the federal government in the FCC jurisdiction,
still need that aspect and component to distribute. So if
(25:49):
you are of the opinion that you're happy that they've
defunded in pr and PBS.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
You are.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Really seriously hampering quality educational entertainment. And most people who
are against PBS have no idea what it even provides
or the quality of educational programming it provides. But if
you ask them about Reading Rainbow, they'll say, oh, yeah,
I love reading Rainbow.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Hello, you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 7 (26:26):
Because damns its Later with mo Kelly KFI AM six
forty live everywhere on YouTube and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
And you better be on the YouTube live stream because
I'm getting ready to give some information about these Disney tickets.
This family four pack are getting ready to give away,
as I said, getting ready to give away. Toys r
Us it's back of the news and it made the
announcement that it plans to open ten new flagship stores
and twenty seasonal holiday shops with his partner Go Retail
(27:00):
by the end of this year. Now, if you've been
following this Toys r Rust story, they went through bankruptcy,
they tried to reopen, they had some partnership they were
doing with Macy's as far as like in store in
Macy's store, then they would have like a Toys r
Ust mini store in it. Now, Twale, you're the only
one who has the history of working with Toys r rusts.
(27:23):
What do you make of this? Is this going anywhere?
Are they back? Are they hoping to be back? Is
it a positive move? This is a very positive move.
They are back.
Speaker 5 (27:30):
They are having different phases of toy stores being realized.
Now they still have the Macy's in store Toys Russ displays.
They are now having some holiday pop ups, which is
a smart idea in different areas because they're not going
to try to go nationwide again and just lose their shirts.
They're gonna have situational holiday pop ups inarios where they
(27:52):
feel they can draw a big crowd, and these locations
will pop up during holliy people be able to go
and shop experiencing in those shut those down. But then
they're also going to have in Key states, key cities,
have some brick and mortar locations, like the one that
they are going to be opening in Long Beach. It
is going to be a Toys r Us superstore, and
(28:12):
they're also going to have a Toys or superstore in
Camarillo and some other locations just in various states. But
I'm excited about the one in Long Beach because I
looked at some of the plans on like it's going
to be huge. And I'm telling you, of every job
I've ever had, save working with you, Toys r US
was quite possibly one of the greatest experiences I ever
(28:33):
had work. Really I loved working at Toys r US,
I really really did.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Why is that?
Speaker 2 (28:38):
I mean, was it the nostalgia or just a corporate structure?
Speaker 3 (28:42):
What about it? I think it was a combination of that.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
Like when they say, don't you don't meet your heroes,
this is one of those opportunities where I would disagree,
because growing up I was a toy fanatic, a toy collector.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
I was in toy stores all the time.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
And getting to work at Toys r US and experiencing
the behind the scenes it was great. And the way
that at least at the Toys r US that I
worked at, the one right here in Bourbank, the biggest
Toys r US, the biggest selling Toys r US in
southern California, that's the one I worked at that closed.
They did the back to the Future seeing over there
that location. The management team there, they were aces all
(29:16):
the way through. They really really fought and took care
of their staff all the way up until the point
where we found out we had to close the doors.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Let me ask you about that, since we talked about
closing the door. Scott of the Momentigos in the Motown
Chat says, plastic toys are not being played with any more.
I tend to agree with him the idea of toys,
which is more than just action figures. Toys are not
the draw in the way that they were twenty thirty
(29:44):
years ago.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
I disagree because if you go through a Target, if
you go through a Walmart, those sections are still filled
with kids. There are still kids that are filling those sections,
and they do want toys. It's something about going into
a place and touching things and being able to figure
stuff out. Remember toys r US also wasn't just toys,
(30:05):
plastic toys and the like. There were also building blocks,
educational toys. There were also a humongous, humongous electronic section,
and one of the biggest draws was the bicycle section.
Believe it or not, because I take a bike off
the rack, ride it around and even our electronic car section.
Kids would stay over their parents pulling down these cars,
(30:27):
trying to drive them around the store every single day. Sir, sir, sir,
please don't do that, sir. You have to get out
of the Bronco Mini truck. You got to get out that.
It was just something about that, there was something about
the toy store being filled with kids just touching stuff,
filling stuff. And I know with this new rebranding of
Toys r Us, they are trying to make it an
experience where they can have more in store play, in
(30:50):
store displays, have different companies come through in demo toys
for appearents and things like that, so it turns it
into a destination spot for parents.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
I hope you are right.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
I hope that Toys r Us can make a successful
comeback because they've tried in different iterations and ways over
the past ten years.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
So we've been discussing them.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Each time there's movement with Toys r Us, we talk
about it. This is the latest movement and they're committed. Obviously,
they're going to open this many standalone stores stand alone
and that.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Could be.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
A brick and mortar location onto itself, which I'm most
accustomed to seeing Toys r Us. I guess maybe it
could be part of a strip mall or in a like,
not in a mall situation, but you know, it's part
of a larger shopping center.
Speaker 5 (31:38):
And I believe that these new ones will be more
similar to a toy store that you fancied, more like
the f al Schwartz.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Yes, and I was a big fan of that experience,
is what I believe.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
Toys Rus is looking to come back with a brand
that's more kin to that.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
We shall find out, and also we will watch this
as we go into the holidays and see how this
story continues to emerge. I AM six forty eleve everywhere

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
