Speaker 1 (00:22):
Yes, it is Friday.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
It's fabulous and it's Friday, can't I've mo' kelly live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app what are.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
We eating tonight? Later?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Crew I said I would be providing food tonight, and
I've been asking all day and I can't get a
simple answer.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
What are we eating? You choose? I buy?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
We're gonna brainstorm sa crickets. We try to give away
free food. They don't even know what they are doing.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
We have the concepts of a plan, well played, well played.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Hopefully they'll decide something to eat, because if they eat,
that means I can eat. But I don't want to
go through all the trouble of having to choose, having
to order, having to pick up, having to sort out
everyone's food. Now, I just put in the money just
bringing my food. I don't ask for a lot. And
Mark Runner lied to everybody yesterday talking about thirty percent
chances of rain today.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
It didn't rain anywhere. There was no rain anywhere in
southern California. It was sunny everywhere. Word, how dare you word?
Speaker 2 (01:25):
There was nothing but dryness all through And then he
comes back right before the show today and he says
twenty percent chance of rain tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Your argument isn't with me, it's with the National Weather Service, Buddy.
You want to pick a fight, you pick a fight
with them.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
You have a higher responsibility to be accurate in your
dissemination of information, mister.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
I hate disinformation.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Misinformation guy, I'm not disseminating anything or anyone, just trying
to do a responsible weather report for multiple sources. By
the way, I don't just use the National Weather Service. Oh,
you have multiple sources. I use our service yep, yep.
I even use our weather app on our smartphone. Right,
I try to make sure that there's no there's.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
No gaps, all right, all right, you are a professional
through and through damn right. So beyond the weather, did
you notice today is Friday the thirteenth. Did anything unusual
happen to you wherever you are.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I'm not a superstitious type. I'm not.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
There are things that I will do which are kind
of out of routine. I guess you could say it's
a superstition to a certain degree, Like, for example, if
I were to have a job opportunity, I'm not going
to talk about it because I feel I.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Will jinx it.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
So how did the interview go no, no, no, I'm not
going to talk about it because then I think I'm
going to somehow make sure that it doesn't happen. If
it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, it doesn't. But
I'm not that guy. Like if I step on a crack,
I'm not worried about something gonna break my mother's back.
I'm not that, you know, Friday thirteenth not a big deal.
(03:00):
A black cat walk in front of me, not a
big deal. I don't worry about those things. You know,
walking under a ladder, splitting the poll, None of that
means anything to me.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
That's about it.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
But I don't have any real superstitions other people. They're pretty,
you know, caught up in it. It's almost like a
reverse OCD. It kind of controls their behavior. I don't
know where that comes from. As far as why people
feel so invested on Friday thirteenth, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
If I believe in the idea of luck.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I do believe that some people seemingly are more fortunate
or less fortunate than others. I don't know if there
is some guiding force behind it. As far as favor.
When it comes down to simple inane things like, for example,
perfect example producer Kayla who produces the Doctor Wendy Show.
(03:57):
She won a TV after our holiday party. How did
she win a TV? Well, I came late to our
holiday party. They had karaoke contests, they had raffles and giveaways.
I had four raffle tickets and I said, you know what,
they're giving away a TV. I think I could use
(04:19):
a seventh TV in my house. And it was a
fifty five inch TV.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I didn't need one.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
I really didn't. I really didn't. I could have given
it to one of my blended sons. They just moved
into an apartment and out of my house. Thank you Lord.
They could have used a TV, but I couldn't have
used the TV. The point of the story is this.
I had to leave to go get my car, which
was having a tire plug because I ran over a
bolt earlier in the day talking about favor or luck,
(04:46):
however you want to phrase it. Because of that, I
had to leave the event early, which meant that I
couldn't stay for the raffle, which meant I probably would
well to give away my raffle tickets. I had four
raffle tickets, four chances to win something. I put three
of them in the box for the TV, one for
(05:10):
the trip. I think it was to I don't know,
Las Vegas or something I don't know. I don't know,
and I said, well, let me just put it in here.
And that my half of the tickets I gave to
producer Kayla. Not gonna win doesn't matter, but my car
was more important. Talking about serendipity. I take my ass
(05:31):
to get my car, which is of greater importance, and
I get this text message as I'm on the way back.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
They haven't even finished a raffle.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
In theory, In theory, if I just would have waited
a little longer, I could have seen the raffle for
the TV. I get a text from producer Kyla saying.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Oh, thank you for the raffle tickets. I want your TV. Yes.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
In theory, because she didn't do anything other than excep
my raffle tickets into her head.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Is that fate? Is that luck?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Because it took a confluence of events for her to
end up with that raffle ticket and also win the TV,
people often conflate being a chump with bad luck. Maybe
I do believe there's certain things that we can do
to actively increase the likelihood of bad things happening to us.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I do believe that. Here's the deal.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I'm not the least bit superstitious, and i have no
patience with superstition. And when I'm at home and I'm told, like,
don't say that, you're gonna jinx it, I'm like, no,
enough of that. We don't do that in this huse. However,
you don't want to tempt fate. It's Friday the thirteenth.
You're not going to catch me playing with a ouija
board under under a ladder. Why be an idiot about it? Okay,
you don't like play in the.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Street with cars going sixty miles an hour both ways,
not blindfolded.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
It reminds me of the movie called The Program, since
we always talk about movies. There was a scene in
the Program James con started and he was playing a
football coach, a college football coach.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Oh that's a deep cut, yeah, And.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
They had this ritual where the team would go sit
in the street kind of rowboat style or like sculling
with ores and lined up vertically and they'd have they'd
have to withstand the whishing of cars coming on in
both directions, you know, and not get hit. Idiots tried
(07:27):
to duplicate that in real life. And I think they
cut it from the movie because people were getting killed
or getting hurt that it's like, it's almost like you
were just seeing what I saw, so I was looking
for the scene. In nineteen ninety three, at least one
death and several critical injuries result to do to people
trying to imitate a stunt performed in the program underdirect
(07:49):
authorization from Touchstone Pictures. The following scene was removed by
theater personnel shortly after the release of the film tape.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
And I saw the theaters and I saw it. I
know the scene. I know it.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Well, now is that bad luck? No, you're just a
dumb ass. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Yeah, that's a Darwin Award, you see.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
That's different playing in track awards versus luck different.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Well, one could say, hey, you know, they were just
doing this stupid thing at the wrong time. I've done
a lot of stupid things in my life. Thank goodness,
I did not end up in prison. Thank goodness, I
did not end up dead. For example, jumping off my
friend's roof into the swimming pool. That was a really
dumb thing. I really could have hurt myself. I'm talking
(08:32):
my head first diving into the pool. Oh yeah, let
me call to your attention a Reddit page called hmft
hold my feeding Tube.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
That's exactly the kind of stuff that's on there every day.
You don't want to do anything. Featured on Hold My
Feeding Tube on Friday the thirteenth.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Look.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
I love looking at these parkour videos where people are
jumping off roofs and trying to shim me down poles
and everything.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
It's like, one, how do you practice that? Two?
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Am I supposed to to care or feel sorry for you?
Inevitably when you miss judge a jump or something and
you end up splatted on the pavement, I can't say
that's bad luck. That's just you pushing the limits of stupidity.
That's exactly right. The rule on the rule is that
(09:19):
you don't mourn a stupid death. That's why we have
a segment called dying Time. But you know, that's why
I want to separate bad luck from bad judgment. And
I do believe that if you exhibit good judgment, then
good things can happen to you. And I do believe
sometimes there is some sort of mysterious force where people
(09:40):
just are favored. And you know, producer Kayla is a
perfect example. If not for a series of events, she
doesn't win that TV, take it back from her. I
wouldn't do that, and that's why I started out with
saying I didn't need a seventh TV. Well, that's true,
not with that eighty inch or you're packing at home.
(10:00):
You got that right, you got that right. It's always
locked and loaded. But no, but seriously, I got the
eighty incher at home. This was for fifty five inches.
If anything, at best, it would have gone in my
office and will take it up most of the wall.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
I didn't need another TV.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
So that's how I reconcile it in my mind, and
it's probably better served going to someone else. Put it
all together. Hopefully good karma is coming back my way in.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
The future for you, mo, I have from outcast thirteen
and growing old. Okay, Jesus and his twelve disciples make
thirteen a righteous number of righteous men. Even Judas the
betrayer came true in the end. That's why I don't
care about Friday at.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Thirteenth, Well, Friday at thirteen. Yes, there is a religious
underpinning of its origin. I've just never wrapped myself up
in any real superstition. I will walk in front of
a mirror and say, candy Man, Candy Man, candy Man,
I don't care. Hey, Hey, hey, hey, I don't care.
I don't care. Rest in peace, tony chok, no bloody
(11:04):
marry in the bathroom. I've done that too. Oh, you're
a psycho. I know I'm tempting fake. Next it'll be beetlejuice.
Is it three times?
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Stop it?
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Stop it, stop it, beetle candy juice, Candy, beetlejuice.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
We're all screwed, man Beetle. It's later with Mo Kelly.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Care if I am six forty, don't all laugh at
my damn joke and no rim shot. Just a bunch
of haters. I feel like my wife's talking to me
right now. If I have to say it, it doesn't
mean the same. If I have to ask you to
tell me that you love me, it doesn't mean the same.
She might be onto something. If I am six forty,
(11:45):
WeLive everywhere in the I heeartradio app. When we come back,
we're going to get into this daylighting issue and how
it may start costing you money.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
If you're out there daylighting, what we'll tell you about it. Next.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI A six forty.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
KFI mo Kelly Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
I hope your Friday has been going wonderfully.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Yes, we will be playing name that movie called Classic
later this evening. Yes, we will be giving away prizes.
In fact, we'll be giving away Later with Mo Kelly
coffee mugs tonight. I know you've been asking for them.
We have them until we give them to you. Then
you will have them. That's later tonight. Let me tell
you about daylighting. If you don't know what daylighting is,
(12:49):
you'd better find out quickly because it could cost you.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Assembly.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Bill for thirteen, also known as the California Daylighting Law,
took effect at the start of twenty twenty four, and
it prohibits parking within twenty feet of any crosswalk or
fifteen feet of a crosswalk with extended curbs only on
the side of the street where cars approach the intersection.
(13:16):
If you maybe didn't know about this, but up until now,
if you happen to be a violator, you received a
warning unless the curb was painted red or assigned explicitly
prohibited parking. In other words, if there was no sign,
you were pretty much okay. But starting January first, twenty
twenty five, as in two and a half weeks, the
(13:36):
warning period is coming to an end and they will
start ticketing you for daylighting. In other words, there has
to be some daylight between where you park and that
crosswalk or that corner, because the thought is you want
to have more visibility of a pedestrian who may be
(13:59):
crossing the street.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Quote. The concept is simple.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Pedestrian safety is vastly improved by removing vehicles that are
close to intersections and crosswalks. And that's the Ventura County
Sheriff's Office, which issued an alert yesterday to remind residents
of the daylighting rules. Vehicles part close to the crosswalk
often obstruct a driver's view of pedestrians entering or using
(14:24):
the sidewalk. And here's something else. This is completely anecdotal.
This is just my personal experience. It's something I'm very
cognitant of and something i'm very mindful of when I
am driving. Let's say you're in the right hand lane,
you're going to make that right on the red. Most
people just pull right through the intersection and up to
(14:47):
the turn of the curb so they can see the
oncoming traffic, not even thinking about the possibility that there
may be someone either stepping into the crosswalk from the
curb or approaching from the side walking to the curb.
That's the first thing. People are just oblivious to the
idea of someone being in the crosswalk. Conversely, you have
(15:10):
people who are in the crosswalk or stepping off the
curb who never look to see if a car's coming.
They just assume I got the light and just start walking.
They just assume that idiots like me see them or
will actually stop. More times than not, people it's not
even like a rolling stop for that right on red.
(15:30):
They they don't even slow down. They just turn right
and keep on going as if it's green. And I
say this as someone who has been hit by a
car as a pedestrian. In fact, it was about it
was about twenty two years ago because I think I
just turned thirty and I was standing at the driver's
(15:52):
side window of my sister's car. Imagine you're making a
right onto a side street. My sister's car was on
the other side of the street as if like you're
approaching the intersection.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
I'm standing at the driver's side window.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
A drunk driver was making a right turn way too fast,
skin it over to the other side of the street
where I was standing in front of my sister's driver's
side window. I could hear the skipping of the tires
as the car was coming around the corner. This woman, unfortunately,
(16:30):
was very, very drunk. She was driving a Saturn. I'll
never forget, and it saved my life because the Saturn,
if you remember, those cars had a very low sloped hood.
Something told me just jump up. I remember jumping, pulling
my knees to my chest. The car clips me and
I go he heels overhead or head over heels, however
(16:54):
you want to describe it. Over the top of the
car and into the street. If I don't jump, she
cut me in half.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
I'm not here.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
But my point is I am always since that time,
aware of if I'm in the street or crossing the street,
that cars may not see me or may not be
driving safely enough to avoid hitting me. Next time you
drive talking about daylighting, when you approach that intersection, watch
how infrequently pedestrians actually look to see if you're going
(17:28):
to stop, they will They will not even turn their heads.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
They just assume you're going to stop.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
And also think about how quickly you approach that intersection
and whether you stop before the limit line and then
inch forward, or do you already pass the limit line
and assume no one's there and you're just looking for
oncoming traffic before you make that right. I'm willing to
bet dollars to donuts that you probably never stop before
that limit line. And I'm also willing to bet if
(17:56):
you're the pedestrian you step off and you don't even look,
because that driver be Mark Ronner and that.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Could be the end of you. I'm just gonna let
you sit there.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
I just like using you as a FOI yeah, yeah,
I just go ahead and just based in that for
a second.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
You've never, i should say, been aggressive at that limit line,
well a little bit.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
I mean my problem has always been the people who
won't look up from their phones. So I have actually
rolled down my window on the rare occasion and said,
look up from your phone, idiot.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
As they're crossing the street.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Yeah yeah, because we all kind of want to get someplace,
and I'm not gonna plow somebody over. But for God's sake,
just focus on one thing at a time. Well, how
about just self preservation.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
You are vulnerable when you step off that curb, and
far too many people assume that the driver sees the
you as the pedestrian, or you're safe because you have
the signal that you're walking on a green. People don't
really know how dangerous it is. And that's part of
the reason why I'm talking about this daylighting violation, because actually, yes,
(19:03):
it is a thing. Drivers most often do not see
the pedestrian stepping off the curb.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
One They're not paying attention.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
They're not even thinking of the possibility that a pedestrian
is going to step off the curb. And also drivers
are probably distracted looking at the phone, or if they
get ready to make that right turn, they're looking left
for that oncoming traffic, not thinking that the pedestrian may
step off to the right.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Yeah, everybody's distracted walking and driving. And I always think
of how it would be your worst nightmare to either
get smacked or smack somebody in a car. I don't
know if you've ever hit somebody, but I've come to
the aid of friends who have their lives are never
the same afterwards. Yeah, my middle son got hit by
(19:49):
car as a pedestrian.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Yet I know being hit, you're not the same after that.
For me, I am always hypervigilant, very apprehensive. In fact,
whenever I cross the street, I'm usually jogging because the
more time I spend in that intersection walking whatever. For me,
I think I'm going to be more of a target.
I'm more vulnerable. I'm standing out there longer than I should.
(20:13):
So I'm always jogging at least not running top speed,
because I still need to be aware of what's going
on around me and so other cars can react to me.
But I don't lollygag. I'm getting my ass to the
other side of the street.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Well, even if you're in the car and you hit somebody,
your life will never be as good as it was
in the instant before you hit that person, never for
a variety of reasons, none pleasant, And it would.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Be easier and better to just avoid that altogether, if
at all possible.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Yeah, there's a lot of problematic corners on the way
right into work here in Burbank. And yeah, and I
always do the full on lifeguard back and forth scans.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Oh, I know we're over.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
But a perfect example, and anyone who's ever been to
this building knows, when you're turning into our parking structure,
there is a light which is for the pedestrians, but
it's on the sidewalk and people are walking in front
of our parking garage and they have a red light
saying do not walk. Why because cars are coming in
(21:10):
and out of the parking garage and people assume, well,
I'm on the sidewalk, I don't have to stop walking. No,
there's a big ass red light saying don't walk, and
people pedestrians ignore it all the time.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
And also drivers think, well, I got the green.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
I could just zoom through out of the parking structure
and into traffic, not knowing that someone will be walking
right or left.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
I'm surprised we haven't seen more carnage in that exact
spot because add to that the fact that there's always
some idiot parking there when there is a parking spot
like ten yards ahead. Yes, to stop off and either
pick somebody up drop them off at the restaurant. It's perfect,
like ride share, it's perfect. It's a little inlet just
for that, and they don't stop it. They always stop
at the right turn leading into the garage. Well, if
(21:55):
they didn't do that, they'd have to walk a few yards,
and that that's unacceptable, unacceptable, unacceptable, unforgivable.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
It's Later with mo Kelly, ca if I AM six
forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. And when we
come back, we'll tell you about a middle school, a
girls' school, all girls school made from recycled shipping containers.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
Imagine that you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on
demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
And I'd like to remind you I'm really big on education,
really really big. I'm for spending money on education. I'm
for supporting our public schools. I am for doing as
much as possible to help young people get a good education.
And it's one thing to say the schools are horrible.
It's another thing to say, well, I'm not going to
(22:40):
do anything about it. I'm not going to help. I'm
gonna make sure that we're not doing our part as
best we can to make sure that schools are not
only safe, but are a place for actual learning, not
just daycare and babysitting for seven and eight hours a day.
When I come across stories like this, I'm encouraged. And
(23:02):
if you don't know, there is a new school in
Van Eyes and it's built entirely from recycled shipping containers. Now,
I've seen recycled shipping containers use for like temporary housing
for homeless, So it's not a new idea.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
I think it's more a new application of an idea.
Listen to this the.
Speaker 6 (23:29):
Next level, both in the curriculum and in the building itself.
Knew it for an all girls middle school in La
County is taking innovation to the next level, both in
the curriculum and in the building itself. NBC for Jonathan
Gonzalez explains.
Speaker 7 (23:46):
From morning drop off to morning pe at this all
girls middle school in Van Eyes called GALS.
Speaker 8 (23:54):
We are at the girls Athletic Leadership School.
Speaker 7 (23:56):
They love to do things a little differently and while
many things about this LAUSD charter school stand out, the
building itself stands out the most.
Speaker 8 (24:06):
So they're installed like legos.
Speaker 7 (24:07):
GALS is the first school in La County built entirely
from recycled shipping containers.
Speaker 8 (24:13):
Crazer thirty two shipping containers, sixteen on the first floor,
sixteen on the second floor, and once you're inside, you
really couldn't tell.
Speaker 7 (24:21):
Executive director of Vanessa Garza helped launch GALS nine years
ago sharing space with another school in Panoramic City.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
But now GALS is enjoying.
Speaker 7 (24:29):
Its first school year in its own, brand new location,
one that is not only designed to withstand fire and
earthquakes better, but is also more eco friendly.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Okay, fine, it's eco friendly. I don't care about that,
but the fire and earthquakes and learning environment check.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Check check got it.
Speaker 8 (24:44):
A lot of the sustainable building that's done in Los
Angeles is around crisis like FEMA, trailers or affordable housing.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
And here we were, I said it, you know, affordable housing.
Speaker 8 (24:55):
Yepffordable housing. And here we wanted to take that idea
and stretch it and create a sustainable school.
Speaker 9 (25:02):
And I saw the shipping containers. I was like, wow,
that's crazy.
Speaker 7 (25:05):
Jamie Barbett is in eighth grade. Well, she loves the
school's innovative design. It's the innovative curriculum she loves more.
So you're starting each day with exercise and working in
body movement into other classes.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Now that I really like the whole idea of PE.
I don't know about you, but when I was growing up.
We'd have pe in middle school, usually near the end
of the day, and you've had one recess, but you're
not really getting the type of moment you needed when
you need it at the beginning of the day.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
That's when you need it now.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
For me, when I was in high school, it didn't
really matter because I had this thing called zero period.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
I don't know about U twelve.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Zero period started before class, was before first period, and
for me, it was marching band and also basketball during
my freshman year, so we were working out. There was
exercise involved real early in the day, which helped you
the latter part of the day. You were awake, you
were not just half asleep in school. And I'm surprised,
(26:10):
actually disappointed that more schools don't have that where you
get your body moving, get your mind moving before you
actually try to shove information down kids' throats.
Speaker 9 (26:23):
A school like this is great because it's small, so
you focus more on your academics, and you can still
do sports and you can still do clubs. I'm really hyper,
and so moving around really energizes me. And sometimes it's
like kind of annoying because's real your entire but it's.
Speaker 7 (26:40):
Pretty fun Gals is LAUSD's only all girls school in
the valley.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
I personally, I'm for charter schools. Charter schools are quasi
inside the district. Depending on the school, they receive some
district funding. But I'm for charter schools if the traditional
public schools can't get it done. My parents even work
for a charter school for some time. Twally, you probably
(27:06):
know more about this than I do, and you're in
a similar situation.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
Well, our school is a non public school that contracts
with all the districts. But similar to what this school
has done, this is what we're doing at our school
and all the campuses that we build out. We use
prefab materials and bungalows and things like that, because you
(27:31):
have to be able to raise these schools up and
make them effective. You have to be able to do
it quickly, and you have to do it inexpensively and
something like this. There's absolutely nothing wrong with this, and
I promise the success of this school will shape the
future of future schools when it comes to all the
(27:53):
hold up of being able to build them and all that.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
No, this is the way to go.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
And you're talking about a safe physical structure where you
can have class because yeah, I work for a charter
school where you're doing a lot of stuff outside. I
don't want to call the name of it. It's not
a conducive environment. There's too many distractions. Obviously open air.
Sometimes you can say it's good to be outside, but
(28:20):
not all the time. It makes it much more difficult
for children to learn. I do believe that this is
going to be the blueprint for a lot of schools,
especially charter schools, going forward, where you don't need the
same type of seed money to get a school going.
You can have adequate facilities, which is half the battle.
It's one thing, you know if you have the students,
(28:43):
but if you don't have the facilities, they're not going
to be learning adequately.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
And it takes a long time to build a school up.
We are currently in a rebuild right now and just
the demo and having to plan this out. So many
charter schools. You bungalows, which are easily rolled in. You
just take them off the truck and set them in.
These are much sturdier than bungalos because bungalows they do
(29:09):
fall apart within years.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
The floors, the walls.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
The floors, the rais floor, rang floors all that that
is a serious problem which we have to keep spending
money to redo. This is something that I promise you
if this was available before we had gone into purchasing bungals,
we would have done this first. Sturdy, sustainable, fire resistant,
earthquake proof. This is what we need to do. Hell,
(29:32):
why aren't all schools made out of this? I don't know,
Because you think of.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
The these shipping containers. They you don't have to reinvent
the wheel. They are perfectly sized and situated for this.
You just cut open some holes in it basically for
the windows in the door, keep it moving, yep.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
And they're stackable like legos. Mark Ronner.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
I actually follow some shipping container pages because you can
make oh, terrific houses out of these things. In the
design you saw.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Those two with all like the ladders and everything. They're stacked.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Oh yeah, they're amazing. So you can just design it
anyway that you like. A friend of mine from high
school was in the business, and he did explain to
me that, you know, like a forty foot shipping container's
three thousand bucks, which is a terrific killer deal. These
things you could survive an earthquake any apocalypse in one
of these things, but to shore them up, and you
(30:27):
know you've got to reinforce them with steel once you
start cutting on them.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
All I know is I think of all the types
of applications you could have for eighty US in your home,
not just commercial but just private use. They are all
sorts of things that you can do with these shipping containers.
I would be interested to see what happens in the
future as to how people are going to start becoming
even more inventive and ingenious with how they use them.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
They're terrific.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
I would love to have like a safe room or
an office made out of one of those.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
I hate it when we agree on stuff.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
And I don't know what to say because like I'm
waiting to, like, you know, go off on you, and
I can't because you're reasoning is sound, probably because you
borrowed it from me.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
But yeah, there we go. Let's get that comes down.
Has anyone decided what we're eating yet? Damn?
Speaker 4 (31:15):
I think, okay, I'll come off for foosh.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
I'm on my way over there.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Uh well, I talked to Mark the preliminaries. Maybe some
sub sandwiches from Jersey mics y'all need to hurry up. Okay,
the show's gonna be over. Fair enough, it's Later with
Moke Kelly can if I AM six forty. In fact,
we'll talk about some sports in LA when we come back.
We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 5 (31:34):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
I found this list.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
It was really interesting, not only because it said a
lot about our misconceptions of our Los Angeles franchises, how
valuable we may wrongly assume they are, but also other franchises,
and this is a cross sports which are wildly popular,
(32:01):
sometimes unpopular, but very very valuable. Here are the top
teams franchises in terms of most valuable for twenty twenty four,
and this is across all sports. Coming in at number ten,
(32:21):
Shannon Farrens San Francisco forty nine ers who lost to
the Rams last night and their asses got kicked out
of the playoff contention. She did not take that well either.
She did not Did she ever respond to your satisfaction
with the appropriate degree of humility and good sportsmanship? Yes,
she did. A few f bombs, a few inappropriately placed insults,
(32:49):
some hints of violence, things of that nature.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Perfect perfect. Number nine. Let me back up.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
San Francisco forty nine Ers are valued at six point
eight billion, Number nine. The New York Jets are valued
at six point nine billion, Number eight, and those are
NFL Los Angeles Lakers eighth most valuable sports franchise at
seven point one billion, more than two NFL worth more
(33:25):
than two NFL franchises' that's interesting.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
In the top ten. Number seven, the New York Giants.
Speaker 10 (33:37):
They're New York Football Giants valued at seven point three
billion dollars. That's how it goes seal if you did
now seven point three billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Number six.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
The New England Patriots, valued at seven point four billion dollars.
Number five of the top valued franchises in all of
sports according to Forbes for twenty twenty four. Back to
the NBA, the New York Knicks valued at seven point
five billion. Number four, The New York Yankees valued at
(34:23):
seven point five five billion dollars. Number three, the Los
Angeles Rams valued at seven point six billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
What they're worth more than the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Yes, they're worth more than the World Series champion Dodgers
and the Dodgers have eighty one home games. Yes, that's
where the misconceptions come from, you think because the Los
Angeles Dodgers fan base, excuse me, the Los Angeles Rams
fan base is smaller than the Dodgers or the Lakers.
(35:03):
The Rams have had less success than the Ram, than
the Dodgers or Lakers, but worth more than the Lakers
or Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Coming in number two.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
The Golden State Warriors worth eight point eight billion dollars
and coming in at number one the most valuable franchise
in America according to Forbes or twenty twenty four, and
(35:43):
this franchise has not won anything since the early nineteen nineties.
The Dallas Cowboys valued ten point one billion dollars. Now,
of course, a franchise's valuation is also connected to the
venue if the venue is owned owned by the same
the owner of the team, like Stan Kronk owned Sofi
(36:04):
Stadium connected to the Rams and Chargers, and Jerry Jones,
the owner of the Cowboys, also owns AT and T Stadium.
That's part of the reason why they're valued so high.
And if you're wondering about the other LA franchises, the
Los Angeles Clippers are the twenty third most valuable franchise
(36:25):
at five point five billion.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
And this is something that will really blow your mind.
Remember what I said.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
About a team owning the venue, like the Clippers now
have the Into It Dome. That's part of the reason
why the Clippers are valued at more value at a
higher level than the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Clippers are
number twenty three at five point five billion, the Dodgers
are number twenty four at five point four to five billion,
(36:52):
and the Chargers are number thirty one at five point
one billion. If the Chargers had their own stateum that
the Chargers owner also owned, their valuation would go up considerably.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
But they don't.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
They're hanging out in the Rams House, so they are
much further down the less.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
So there you have it.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
I think a reasonable assumption would have been that the
most valuable Los Angeles franchise would have been the Lakers
or the Dodgers because their visibility, how often they've won
their legacy franchises. Here you have the Rams. They're the
most valuable Los Angeles franchise, and they've been gone for
(37:34):
the better part of the of the century. You know,
they've only been back like ten years, but still because
they got their own stadium, they're valued more than other teams.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
KFI AM six forty live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 5 (37:47):
You can listen to KFI everywhere like you haven't noticed.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
K S I'm the KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange
County lots everywhere on the evideo app
Yes, it is Friday.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
It's fabulous and it's Friday, can't I've mo' kelly live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app what are.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
We eating tonight? Later?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Crew I said I would be providing food tonight, and
I've been asking all day and I can't get a
simple answer.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
What are we eating? You choose? I buy?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
We're gonna brainstorm sa crickets. We try to give away
free food. They don't even know what they are doing.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
We have the concepts of a plan, well played, well played.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Hopefully they'll decide something to eat, because if they eat,
that means I can eat. But I don't want to
go through all the trouble of having to choose, having
to order, having to pick up, having to sort out
everyone's food. Now, I just put in the money just
bringing my food. I don't ask for a lot. And
Mark Runner lied to everybody yesterday talking about thirty percent
chances of rain today.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
It didn't rain anywhere. There was no rain anywhere in
southern California. It was sunny everywhere. Word, how dare you word?
Speaker 2 (01:25):
There was nothing but dryness all through And then he
comes back right before the show today and he says
twenty percent chance of rain tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Your argument isn't with me, it's with the National Weather Service, Buddy.
You want to pick a fight, you pick a fight
with them.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
You have a higher responsibility to be accurate in your
dissemination of information, mister.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
I hate disinformation.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Misinformation guy, I'm not disseminating anything or anyone, just trying
to do a responsible weather report for multiple sources. By
the way, I don't just use the National Weather Service. Oh,
you have multiple sources. I use our service yep, yep.
I even use our weather app on our smartphone. Right,
I try to make sure that there's no there's.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
No gaps, all right, all right, you are a professional
through and through damn right. So beyond the weather, did
you notice today is Friday the thirteenth. Did anything unusual
happen to you wherever you are.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I'm not a superstitious type. I'm not.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
There are things that I will do which are kind
of out of routine. I guess you could say it's
a superstition to a certain degree, Like, for example, if
I were to have a job opportunity, I'm not going
to talk about it because I feel I.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Will jinx it.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
So how did the interview go no, no, no, I'm not
going to talk about it because then I think I'm
going to somehow make sure that it doesn't happen. If
it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, it doesn't. But
I'm not that guy. Like if I step on a crack,
I'm not worried about something gonna break my mother's back.
I'm not that, you know, Friday thirteenth not a big deal.
(03:00):
A black cat walk in front of me, not a
big deal. I don't worry about those things. You know,
walking under a ladder, splitting the poll, None of that
means anything to me.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
That's about it.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
But I don't have any real superstitions other people. They're pretty,
you know, caught up in it. It's almost like a
reverse OCD. It kind of controls their behavior. I don't
know where that comes from. As far as why people
feel so invested on Friday thirteenth, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
If I believe in the idea of luck.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I do believe that some people seemingly are more fortunate
or less fortunate than others. I don't know if there
is some guiding force behind it. As far as favor.
When it comes down to simple inane things like, for example,
perfect example producer Kayla who produces the Doctor Wendy Show.
(03:57):
She won a TV after our holiday party. How did
she win a TV? Well, I came late to our
holiday party. They had karaoke contests, they had raffles and giveaways.
I had four raffle tickets and I said, you know what,
they're giving away a TV. I think I could use
(04:19):
a seventh TV in my house. And it was a
fifty five inch TV.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I didn't need one.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
I really didn't. I really didn't. I could have given
it to one of my blended sons. They just moved
into an apartment and out of my house. Thank you Lord.
They could have used a TV, but I couldn't have
used the TV. The point of the story is this.
I had to leave to go get my car, which
was having a tire plug because I ran over a
bolt earlier in the day talking about favor or luck,
(04:46):
however you want to phrase it. Because of that, I
had to leave the event early, which meant that I
couldn't stay for the raffle, which meant I probably would
well to give away my raffle tickets. I had four
raffle tickets, four chances to win something. I put three
of them in the box for the TV, one for
(05:10):
the trip. I think it was to I don't know,
Las Vegas or something I don't know. I don't know,
and I said, well, let me just put it in here.
And that my half of the tickets I gave to
producer Kayla. Not gonna win doesn't matter, but my car
was more important. Talking about serendipity. I take my ass
(05:31):
to get my car, which is of greater importance, and
I get this text message as I'm on the way back.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
They haven't even finished a raffle.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
In theory, In theory, if I just would have waited
a little longer, I could have seen the raffle for
the TV. I get a text from producer Kyla saying.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Oh, thank you for the raffle tickets. I want your TV. Yes.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
In theory, because she didn't do anything other than excep
my raffle tickets into her head.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Is that fate? Is that luck?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Because it took a confluence of events for her to
end up with that raffle ticket and also win the TV,
people often conflate being a chump with bad luck. Maybe
I do believe there's certain things that we can do
to actively increase the likelihood of bad things happening to us.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I do believe that. Here's the deal.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I'm not the least bit superstitious, and i have no
patience with superstition. And when I'm at home and I'm told, like,
don't say that, you're gonna jinx it, I'm like, no,
enough of that. We don't do that in this huse. However,
you don't want to tempt fate. It's Friday the thirteenth.
You're not going to catch me playing with a ouija
board under under a ladder. Why be an idiot about it? Okay,
you don't like play in the.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Street with cars going sixty miles an hour both ways,
not blindfolded.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
It reminds me of the movie called The Program, since
we always talk about movies. There was a scene in
the Program James con started and he was playing a
football coach, a college football coach.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Oh that's a deep cut, yeah, And.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
They had this ritual where the team would go sit
in the street kind of rowboat style or like sculling
with ores and lined up vertically and they'd have they'd
have to withstand the whishing of cars coming on in
both directions, you know, and not get hit. Idiots tried
(07:27):
to duplicate that in real life. And I think they
cut it from the movie because people were getting killed
or getting hurt that it's like, it's almost like you
were just seeing what I saw, so I was looking
for the scene. In nineteen ninety three, at least one
death and several critical injuries result to do to people
trying to imitate a stunt performed in the program underdirect
(07:49):
authorization from Touchstone Pictures. The following scene was removed by
theater personnel shortly after the release of the film tape.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
And I saw the theaters and I saw it. I
know the scene. I know it.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Well, now is that bad luck? No, you're just a
dumb ass. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Yeah, that's a Darwin Award, you see.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
That's different playing in track awards versus luck different.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Well, one could say, hey, you know, they were just
doing this stupid thing at the wrong time. I've done
a lot of stupid things in my life. Thank goodness,
I did not end up in prison. Thank goodness, I
did not end up dead. For example, jumping off my
friend's roof into the swimming pool. That was a really
dumb thing. I really could have hurt myself. I'm talking
(08:32):
my head first diving into the pool. Oh yeah, let
me call to your attention a Reddit page called hmft
hold my feeding Tube.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
That's exactly the kind of stuff that's on there every day.
You don't want to do anything. Featured on Hold My
Feeding Tube on Friday the thirteenth.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Look.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
I love looking at these parkour videos where people are
jumping off roofs and trying to shim me down poles
and everything.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
It's like, one, how do you practice that? Two?
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Am I supposed to to care or feel sorry for you?
Inevitably when you miss judge a jump or something and
you end up splatted on the pavement, I can't say
that's bad luck. That's just you pushing the limits of stupidity.
That's exactly right. The rule on the rule is that
(09:19):
you don't mourn a stupid death. That's why we have
a segment called dying Time. But you know, that's why
I want to separate bad luck from bad judgment. And
I do believe that if you exhibit good judgment, then
good things can happen to you. And I do believe
sometimes there is some sort of mysterious force where people
(09:40):
just are favored. And you know, producer Kayla is a
perfect example. If not for a series of events, she
doesn't win that TV, take it back from her. I
wouldn't do that, and that's why I started out with
saying I didn't need a seventh TV. Well, that's true,
not with that eighty inch or you're packing at home.
(10:00):
You got that right, you got that right. It's always
locked and loaded. But no, but seriously, I got the
eighty incher at home. This was for fifty five inches.
If anything, at best, it would have gone in my
office and will take it up most of the wall.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
I didn't need another TV.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
So that's how I reconcile it in my mind, and
it's probably better served going to someone else. Put it
all together. Hopefully good karma is coming back my way in.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
The future for you, mo, I have from outcast thirteen
and growing old. Okay, Jesus and his twelve disciples make
thirteen a righteous number of righteous men. Even Judas the
betrayer came true in the end. That's why I don't
care about Friday at.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Thirteenth, Well, Friday at thirteen. Yes, there is a religious
underpinning of its origin. I've just never wrapped myself up
in any real superstition. I will walk in front of
a mirror and say, candy Man, Candy Man, candy Man,
I don't care. Hey, Hey, hey, hey, I don't care.
I don't care. Rest in peace, tony chok, no bloody
(11:04):
marry in the bathroom. I've done that too. Oh, you're
a psycho. I know I'm tempting fake. Next it'll be beetlejuice.
Is it three times?
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Stop it?
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Stop it, stop it, beetle candy juice, Candy, beetlejuice.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
We're all screwed, man Beetle. It's later with Mo Kelly.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Care if I am six forty, don't all laugh at
my damn joke and no rim shot. Just a bunch
of haters. I feel like my wife's talking to me
right now. If I have to say it, it doesn't
mean the same. If I have to ask you to
tell me that you love me, it doesn't mean the same.
She might be onto something. If I am six forty,
(11:45):
WeLive everywhere in the I heeartradio app. When we come back,
we're going to get into this daylighting issue and how
it may start costing you money.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
If you're out there daylighting, what we'll tell you about it. Next.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI A six forty.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
KFI mo Kelly Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
I hope your Friday has been going wonderfully.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Yes, we will be playing name that movie called Classic
later this evening. Yes, we will be giving away prizes.
In fact, we'll be giving away Later with Mo Kelly
coffee mugs tonight. I know you've been asking for them.
We have them until we give them to you. Then
you will have them. That's later tonight. Let me tell
you about daylighting. If you don't know what daylighting is,
(12:49):
you'd better find out quickly because it could cost you.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Assembly.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Bill for thirteen, also known as the California Daylighting Law,
took effect at the start of twenty twenty four, and
it prohibits parking within twenty feet of any crosswalk or
fifteen feet of a crosswalk with extended curbs only on
the side of the street where cars approach the intersection.
(13:16):
If you maybe didn't know about this, but up until now,
if you happen to be a violator, you received a
warning unless the curb was painted red or assigned explicitly
prohibited parking. In other words, if there was no sign,
you were pretty much okay. But starting January first, twenty
twenty five, as in two and a half weeks, the
(13:36):
warning period is coming to an end and they will
start ticketing you for daylighting. In other words, there has
to be some daylight between where you park and that
crosswalk or that corner, because the thought is you want
to have more visibility of a pedestrian who may be
(13:59):
crossing the street.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Quote. The concept is simple.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Pedestrian safety is vastly improved by removing vehicles that are
close to intersections and crosswalks. And that's the Ventura County
Sheriff's Office, which issued an alert yesterday to remind residents
of the daylighting rules. Vehicles part close to the crosswalk
often obstruct a driver's view of pedestrians entering or using
(14:24):
the sidewalk. And here's something else. This is completely anecdotal.
This is just my personal experience. It's something I'm very
cognitant of and something i'm very mindful of when I
am driving. Let's say you're in the right hand lane,
you're going to make that right on the red. Most
people just pull right through the intersection and up to
(14:47):
the turn of the curb so they can see the
oncoming traffic, not even thinking about the possibility that there
may be someone either stepping into the crosswalk from the
curb or approaching from the side walking to the curb.
That's the first thing. People are just oblivious to the
idea of someone being in the crosswalk. Conversely, you have
(15:10):
people who are in the crosswalk or stepping off the
curb who never look to see if a car's coming.
They just assume I got the light and just start walking.
They just assume that idiots like me see them or
will actually stop. More times than not, people it's not
even like a rolling stop for that right on red.
(15:30):
They they don't even slow down. They just turn right
and keep on going as if it's green. And I
say this as someone who has been hit by a
car as a pedestrian. In fact, it was about it
was about twenty two years ago because I think I
just turned thirty and I was standing at the driver's
(15:52):
side window of my sister's car. Imagine you're making a
right onto a side street. My sister's car was on
the other side of the street as if like you're
approaching the intersection.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
I'm standing at the driver's side window.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
A drunk driver was making a right turn way too fast,
skin it over to the other side of the street
where I was standing in front of my sister's driver's
side window. I could hear the skipping of the tires
as the car was coming around the corner. This woman, unfortunately,
(16:30):
was very, very drunk. She was driving a Saturn. I'll
never forget, and it saved my life because the Saturn,
if you remember, those cars had a very low sloped hood.
Something told me just jump up. I remember jumping, pulling
my knees to my chest. The car clips me and
I go he heels overhead or head over heels, however
(16:54):
you want to describe it. Over the top of the
car and into the street. If I don't jump, she
cut me in half.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
I'm not here.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
But my point is I am always since that time,
aware of if I'm in the street or crossing the street,
that cars may not see me or may not be
driving safely enough to avoid hitting me. Next time you
drive talking about daylighting, when you approach that intersection, watch
how infrequently pedestrians actually look to see if you're going
(17:28):
to stop, they will They will not even turn their heads.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
They just assume you're going to stop.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
And also think about how quickly you approach that intersection
and whether you stop before the limit line and then
inch forward, or do you already pass the limit line
and assume no one's there and you're just looking for
oncoming traffic before you make that right. I'm willing to
bet dollars to donuts that you probably never stop before
that limit line. And I'm also willing to bet if
(17:56):
you're the pedestrian you step off and you don't even look,
because that driver be Mark Ronner and that.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Could be the end of you. I'm just gonna let
you sit there.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
I just like using you as a FOI yeah, yeah,
I just go ahead and just based in that for
a second.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
You've never, i should say, been aggressive at that limit line,
well a little bit.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
I mean my problem has always been the people who
won't look up from their phones. So I have actually
rolled down my window on the rare occasion and said,
look up from your phone, idiot.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
As they're crossing the street.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Yeah yeah, because we all kind of want to get someplace,
and I'm not gonna plow somebody over. But for God's sake,
just focus on one thing at a time. Well, how
about just self preservation.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
You are vulnerable when you step off that curb, and
far too many people assume that the driver sees the
you as the pedestrian, or you're safe because you have
the signal that you're walking on a green. People don't
really know how dangerous it is. And that's part of
the reason why I'm talking about this daylighting violation, because actually, yes,
(19:03):
it is a thing. Drivers most often do not see
the pedestrian stepping off the curb.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
One They're not paying attention.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
They're not even thinking of the possibility that a pedestrian
is going to step off the curb. And also drivers
are probably distracted looking at the phone, or if they
get ready to make that right turn, they're looking left
for that oncoming traffic, not thinking that the pedestrian may
step off to the right.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Yeah, everybody's distracted walking and driving. And I always think
of how it would be your worst nightmare to either
get smacked or smack somebody in a car. I don't
know if you've ever hit somebody, but I've come to
the aid of friends who have their lives are never
the same afterwards. Yeah, my middle son got hit by
(19:49):
car as a pedestrian.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Yet I know being hit, you're not the same after that.
For me, I am always hypervigilant, very apprehensive. In fact,
whenever I cross the street, I'm usually jogging because the
more time I spend in that intersection walking whatever. For me,
I think I'm going to be more of a target.
I'm more vulnerable. I'm standing out there longer than I should.
(20:13):
So I'm always jogging at least not running top speed,
because I still need to be aware of what's going
on around me and so other cars can react to me.
But I don't lollygag. I'm getting my ass to the
other side of the street.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Well, even if you're in the car and you hit somebody,
your life will never be as good as it was
in the instant before you hit that person, never for
a variety of reasons, none pleasant, And it would.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Be easier and better to just avoid that altogether, if
at all possible.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Yeah, there's a lot of problematic corners on the way
right into work here in Burbank. And yeah, and I
always do the full on lifeguard back and forth scans.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Oh, I know we're over.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
But a perfect example, and anyone who's ever been to
this building knows, when you're turning into our parking structure,
there is a light which is for the pedestrians, but
it's on the sidewalk and people are walking in front
of our parking garage and they have a red light
saying do not walk. Why because cars are coming in
(21:10):
and out of the parking garage and people assume, well,
I'm on the sidewalk, I don't have to stop walking. No,
there's a big ass red light saying don't walk, and
people pedestrians ignore it all the time.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
And also drivers think, well, I got the green.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
I could just zoom through out of the parking structure
and into traffic, not knowing that someone will be walking
right or left.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
I'm surprised we haven't seen more carnage in that exact
spot because add to that the fact that there's always
some idiot parking there when there is a parking spot
like ten yards ahead. Yes, to stop off and either
pick somebody up drop them off at the restaurant. It's perfect,
like ride share, it's perfect. It's a little inlet just
for that, and they don't stop it. They always stop
at the right turn leading into the garage. Well, if
(21:55):
they didn't do that, they'd have to walk a few yards,
and that that's unacceptable, unacceptable, unacceptable, unforgivable.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
It's Later with mo Kelly, ca if I AM six
forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. And when we
come back, we'll tell you about a middle school, a
girls' school, all girls school made from recycled shipping containers.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
Imagine that you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on
demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
And I'd like to remind you I'm really big on education,
really really big. I'm for spending money on education. I'm
for supporting our public schools. I am for doing as
much as possible to help young people get a good education.
And it's one thing to say the schools are horrible.
It's another thing to say, well, I'm not going to
(22:40):
do anything about it. I'm not going to help. I'm
gonna make sure that we're not doing our part as
best we can to make sure that schools are not
only safe, but are a place for actual learning, not
just daycare and babysitting for seven and eight hours a day.
When I come across stories like this, I'm encouraged. And
(23:02):
if you don't know, there is a new school in
Van Eyes and it's built entirely from recycled shipping containers. Now,
I've seen recycled shipping containers use for like temporary housing
for homeless, So it's not a new idea.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
I think it's more a new application of an idea.
Listen to this the.
Speaker 6 (23:29):
Next level, both in the curriculum and in the building itself.
Knew it for an all girls middle school in La
County is taking innovation to the next level, both in
the curriculum and in the building itself. NBC for Jonathan
Gonzalez explains.
Speaker 7 (23:46):
From morning drop off to morning pe at this all
girls middle school in Van Eyes called GALS.
Speaker 8 (23:54):
We are at the girls Athletic Leadership School.
Speaker 7 (23:56):
They love to do things a little differently and while
many things about this LAUSD charter school stand out, the
building itself stands out the most.
Speaker 8 (24:06):
So they're installed like legos.
Speaker 7 (24:07):
GALS is the first school in La County built entirely
from recycled shipping containers.
Speaker 8 (24:13):
Crazer thirty two shipping containers, sixteen on the first floor,
sixteen on the second floor, and once you're inside, you
really couldn't tell.
Speaker 7 (24:21):
Executive director of Vanessa Garza helped launch GALS nine years
ago sharing space with another school in Panoramic City.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
But now GALS is enjoying.
Speaker 7 (24:29):
Its first school year in its own, brand new location,
one that is not only designed to withstand fire and
earthquakes better, but is also more eco friendly.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Okay, fine, it's eco friendly. I don't care about that,
but the fire and earthquakes and learning environment check.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Check check got it.
Speaker 8 (24:44):
A lot of the sustainable building that's done in Los
Angeles is around crisis like FEMA, trailers or affordable housing.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
And here we were, I said it, you know, affordable housing.
Speaker 8 (24:55):
Yepffordable housing. And here we wanted to take that idea
and stretch it and create a sustainable school.
Speaker 9 (25:02):
And I saw the shipping containers. I was like, wow,
that's crazy.
Speaker 7 (25:05):
Jamie Barbett is in eighth grade. Well, she loves the
school's innovative design. It's the innovative curriculum she loves more.
So you're starting each day with exercise and working in
body movement into other classes.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Now that I really like the whole idea of PE.
I don't know about you, but when I was growing up.
We'd have pe in middle school, usually near the end
of the day, and you've had one recess, but you're
not really getting the type of moment you needed when
you need it at the beginning of the day.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
That's when you need it now.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
For me, when I was in high school, it didn't
really matter because I had this thing called zero period.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
I don't know about U twelve.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Zero period started before class, was before first period, and
for me, it was marching band and also basketball during
my freshman year, so we were working out. There was
exercise involved real early in the day, which helped you
the latter part of the day. You were awake, you
were not just half asleep in school. And I'm surprised,
(26:10):
actually disappointed that more schools don't have that where you
get your body moving, get your mind moving before you
actually try to shove information down kids' throats.
Speaker 9 (26:23):
A school like this is great because it's small, so
you focus more on your academics, and you can still
do sports and you can still do clubs. I'm really hyper,
and so moving around really energizes me. And sometimes it's
like kind of annoying because's real your entire but it's.
Speaker 7 (26:40):
Pretty fun Gals is LAUSD's only all girls school in
the valley.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
I personally, I'm for charter schools. Charter schools are quasi
inside the district. Depending on the school, they receive some
district funding. But I'm for charter schools if the traditional
public schools can't get it done. My parents even work
for a charter school for some time. Twally, you probably
(27:06):
know more about this than I do, and you're in
a similar situation.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
Well, our school is a non public school that contracts
with all the districts. But similar to what this school
has done, this is what we're doing at our school
and all the campuses that we build out. We use
prefab materials and bungalows and things like that, because you
(27:31):
have to be able to raise these schools up and
make them effective. You have to be able to do
it quickly, and you have to do it inexpensively and
something like this. There's absolutely nothing wrong with this, and
I promise the success of this school will shape the
future of future schools when it comes to all the
(27:53):
hold up of being able to build them and all that.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
No, this is the way to go.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
And you're talking about a safe physical structure where you
can have class because yeah, I work for a charter
school where you're doing a lot of stuff outside. I
don't want to call the name of it. It's not
a conducive environment. There's too many distractions. Obviously open air.
Sometimes you can say it's good to be outside, but
(28:20):
not all the time. It makes it much more difficult
for children to learn. I do believe that this is
going to be the blueprint for a lot of schools,
especially charter schools, going forward, where you don't need the
same type of seed money to get a school going.
You can have adequate facilities, which is half the battle.
It's one thing, you know if you have the students,
(28:43):
but if you don't have the facilities, they're not going
to be learning adequately.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
And it takes a long time to build a school up.
We are currently in a rebuild right now and just
the demo and having to plan this out. So many
charter schools. You bungalows, which are easily rolled in. You
just take them off the truck and set them in.
These are much sturdier than bungalos because bungalows they do
(29:09):
fall apart within years.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
The floors, the walls.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
The floors, the rais floor, rang floors all that that
is a serious problem which we have to keep spending
money to redo. This is something that I promise you
if this was available before we had gone into purchasing bungals,
we would have done this first. Sturdy, sustainable, fire resistant,
earthquake proof. This is what we need to do. Hell,
(29:32):
why aren't all schools made out of this? I don't know,
Because you think of.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
The these shipping containers. They you don't have to reinvent
the wheel. They are perfectly sized and situated for this.
You just cut open some holes in it basically for
the windows in the door, keep it moving, yep.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
And they're stackable like legos. Mark Ronner.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
I actually follow some shipping container pages because you can
make oh, terrific houses out of these things. In the
design you saw.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Those two with all like the ladders and everything. They're stacked.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Oh yeah, they're amazing. So you can just design it
anyway that you like. A friend of mine from high
school was in the business, and he did explain to
me that, you know, like a forty foot shipping container's
three thousand bucks, which is a terrific killer deal. These
things you could survive an earthquake any apocalypse in one
of these things, but to shore them up, and you
(30:27):
know you've got to reinforce them with steel once you
start cutting on them.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
All I know is I think of all the types
of applications you could have for eighty US in your home,
not just commercial but just private use. They are all
sorts of things that you can do with these shipping containers.
I would be interested to see what happens in the
future as to how people are going to start becoming
even more inventive and ingenious with how they use them.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
They're terrific.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
I would love to have like a safe room or
an office made out of one of those.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
I hate it when we agree on stuff.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
And I don't know what to say because like I'm
waiting to, like, you know, go off on you, and
I can't because you're reasoning is sound, probably because you
borrowed it from me.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
But yeah, there we go. Let's get that comes down.
Has anyone decided what we're eating yet? Damn?
Speaker 4 (31:15):
I think, okay, I'll come off for foosh.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
I'm on my way over there.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Uh well, I talked to Mark the preliminaries. Maybe some
sub sandwiches from Jersey mics y'all need to hurry up. Okay,
the show's gonna be over. Fair enough, it's Later with
Moke Kelly can if I AM six forty. In fact,
we'll talk about some sports in LA when we come back.
We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 5 (31:34):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
I found this list.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
It was really interesting, not only because it said a
lot about our misconceptions of our Los Angeles franchises, how
valuable we may wrongly assume they are, but also other franchises,
and this is a cross sports which are wildly popular,
(32:01):
sometimes unpopular, but very very valuable. Here are the top
teams franchises in terms of most valuable for twenty twenty four,
and this is across all sports. Coming in at number ten,
(32:21):
Shannon Farrens San Francisco forty nine ers who lost to
the Rams last night and their asses got kicked out
of the playoff contention. She did not take that well either.
She did not Did she ever respond to your satisfaction
with the appropriate degree of humility and good sportsmanship? Yes,
she did. A few f bombs, a few inappropriately placed insults,
(32:49):
some hints of violence, things of that nature.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Perfect perfect. Number nine. Let me back up.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
San Francisco forty nine Ers are valued at six point
eight billion, Number nine. The New York Jets are valued
at six point nine billion, Number eight, and those are
NFL Los Angeles Lakers eighth most valuable sports franchise at
seven point one billion, more than two NFL worth more
(33:25):
than two NFL franchises' that's interesting.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
In the top ten. Number seven, the New York Giants.
Speaker 10 (33:37):
They're New York Football Giants valued at seven point three
billion dollars. That's how it goes seal if you did
now seven point three billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Number six.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
The New England Patriots, valued at seven point four billion dollars.
Number five of the top valued franchises in all of
sports according to Forbes for twenty twenty four. Back to
the NBA, the New York Knicks valued at seven point
five billion. Number four, The New York Yankees valued at
(34:23):
seven point five five billion dollars. Number three, the Los
Angeles Rams valued at seven point six billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
What they're worth more than the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Yes, they're worth more than the World Series champion Dodgers
and the Dodgers have eighty one home games. Yes, that's
where the misconceptions come from, you think because the Los
Angeles Dodgers fan base, excuse me, the Los Angeles Rams
fan base is smaller than the Dodgers or the Lakers.
(35:03):
The Rams have had less success than the Ram, than
the Dodgers or Lakers, but worth more than the Lakers
or Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Coming in number two.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
The Golden State Warriors worth eight point eight billion dollars
and coming in at number one the most valuable franchise
in America according to Forbes or twenty twenty four, and
(35:43):
this franchise has not won anything since the early nineteen nineties.
The Dallas Cowboys valued ten point one billion dollars. Now,
of course, a franchise's valuation is also connected to the
venue if the venue is owned owned by the same
the owner of the team, like Stan Kronk owned Sofi
(36:04):
Stadium connected to the Rams and Chargers, and Jerry Jones,
the owner of the Cowboys, also owns AT and T Stadium.
That's part of the reason why they're valued so high.
And if you're wondering about the other LA franchises, the
Los Angeles Clippers are the twenty third most valuable franchise
(36:25):
at five point five billion.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
And this is something that will really blow your mind.
Remember what I said.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
About a team owning the venue, like the Clippers now
have the Into It Dome. That's part of the reason
why the Clippers are valued at more value at a
higher level than the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Clippers are
number twenty three at five point five billion, the Dodgers
are number twenty four at five point four to five billion,
(36:52):
and the Chargers are number thirty one at five point
one billion. If the Chargers had their own stateum that
the Chargers owner also owned, their valuation would go up considerably.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
But they don't.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
They're hanging out in the Rams House, so they are
much further down the less.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
So there you have it.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
I think a reasonable assumption would have been that the
most valuable Los Angeles franchise would have been the Lakers
or the Dodgers because their visibility, how often they've won
their legacy franchises. Here you have the Rams. They're the
most valuable Los Angeles franchise, and they've been gone for
(37:34):
the better part of the of the century. You know,
they've only been back like ten years, but still because
they got their own stadium, they're valued more than other teams.
